Update on If Trish Stratus Is Likely to Wrestle Again in WWE in 2026

Trish Stratus is reported to have a potential in-ring return sometime in 2026 following a 2025 where some were surprised at how little she wrestled.

Fightful Select Answers Q&A noted that expectations for Trish in 2025 were high, especially given that it was her 25th year in WWE. Several within WWE anticipated a match or storyline tied to a “25 Years of Trish Stratus” theme, but those plans never came to fruition.

Stratus made select appearances, yet remained mostly out of active competition. People told Sean Ross Sapp that she has regularly pitched ideas and has remained open to creative discussions whenever WWE reached out over the years. He claimed Trish Stratus stepping back into the ring in 2026 would not come as a surprise.

At 50, Stratus has shown she could still perform at a high level. No confirmed plans have surfaced, and nothing has been formally scheduled.
