Trish Stratus doesn’t have a date for when she plans to stop wrestling, but she does know when she’ll hang it up. Stratus has been made a number of returns to WWE over the years, and she has said she wants her returns to “mean something” and not just be a return for returning’s sake.

Stratus spoke about how long she wants to keep wrestling during her interview with Chris Van Vliet for Insight. You can see highlights below:

On How She Looks the Same Years Later:

“Yoga, good lighting and makeup, guys. Just stay hydrated, guys.”

On How Much Longer She Wants To Wrestle:

“I don’t know. I just know that I’m only gonna do it if I can give 100%. Every time I’ve gone back, I’ll watch the video and I’m like, is this sh*t? Let me see. I’m like, oh, it’s pretty good. But if I watch it back and I’m like, she was slower than usual, I don’t want it. I want to give you guys like my 100%. I don’t want you be like, no [it’s not good].

“When I say due diligence, I remember I got the call for the 2018 Royal Rumble. First ever, historic, and they called me. It was John Laurinaitis. He was like, okay, they want you in it. It’s iconic. It’s historic, and I was like, I will let you know. I’m gonna check my calendar. I got in the ring and then I was like, ‘Yes, I am available, John.’ I just wanted to make sure that I could still do it. It turns out that wrestling’s like riding a bike when you’re a wrestler, I guess, or when you do yoga. I don’t know. But I’m not going to do it half-assed. I’m not giving you a cool 60. I want to give you 100% and make sure it’s impactful and it means something, and I’m good.”
