WWE legend Trish Stratus teases sensational return to the ring aged 46 and fancies Sasha Banks scrap
TRISH STRATUS has teased another WWE comeback for a bumper showdown with Sasha Banks.
The 46-year-old has been semi-retired ever since 2006 but has still competed in several high-profile matches in recent years.

Last year she hinted that she would be ready to climb back into the ring with The Boss after Banks claimed that the Canadian superstar has been "dodging" her in recent years.
Banks told WWE's show: "I’m waiting for Trish, it’s all on her!
"I feel like she’s been dodging me, she’s been not answering my calls.
"I’m all game, I’m all ready – I’m always ready, I stay ready.

"So, whenever Trish is ready for me, she knows where to find me. It’s time to rock ‘n’ roll, Trish!"
Stratus caught wind of Banks' challenge and immediately responded on social media last Autumn by sharing a snap of her toned abs on and captioned it with the following tweet: “#AlwaysReady.”
Stratus and Banks teased a match down the line when they had an intense moment during the first ever Women's Royal Rumble Match in 2018, which led to a brawl.
Now the Hall of Famer, a mother-of-two, has discussed a potential showdown with Banks further while speaking to ET Canada.

She said: “I’ve heard that I’m running from her which is absolutely untrue.
“I mean, at one point she had done this promo that I’m not ready and I posted a picture of my six-pack and I said, ‘I am ready, girl’.
“Yeah, listen, she’s, and you know, it’s like these little moments, right? So her and I had maybe a five-minute moment in the – 2018, like so many years ago now, Royal Rumble.
“And to this day, people like, ‘That’s the match we want to see.”
Stratus is considered as one of the pioneers behind the evolution of women's wrestling as she stood out in the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression era with some legendary bouts against Lita, Victoria, Jazz and many more.
The ex-Hardcore Champion hasn't competed since SummerSlam 2019 when she lost to Charlotte Flair.
