Bengaluru, September 2: WWE Universe got major surprises during Monday Night Raw and Smackdown Live, ealier this week as two returns happened on the shows to keep the fans engaged. It’s always good to see Hall of Famers make a return for one-off segments to make the weekly shows unpredictable.
Trish Stratus was the first one to show up on WWE Raw in a segment against Elias. The Drifter was trying to deliver a concert for the Toronto crowd. As usual, he was focused more on insulting the fans of the city rather than entertaining them. Trish Stratus had heard enough of trash about her hometown. So she came out to defend the raucous crowd of Toronto, Ontario, Canada with a slap before leaving the ring.
Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful.com revealed the real reason why WWE brought back Trish Stratus on WWE Raw. First and foremost, the promotion wanted to give a pleasant surprise to the fans. Hence, they kept the appearance under wraps even from the superstars. Most of the locker room members were not aware of the seven-time champion was going to return on the show. Here’s what the source had to offer regarding this appearance,
“We'd been told by a couple of people backstage that Elias was going to get interrupted, but it was kept quiet even backstage that Trish Stratus would be the one interrupting him. This is a little different from The Shield's return last week because that was a complete surprise. Meanwhile, people knew Elias was getting interrupted, many just didn't know by who.”
