WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus is reportedly in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw. Her appearance is expected to kick off a new storyline.
According to reports from both PWInsider and Fightful Select, Stratus is at the site of the broadcast. The program is expected to lead to a match at the upcoming Evolution 2 premium live event.
Potential WWE Opponent For Trish Stratus
While her return is expected, her opponent has not been confirmed. Fightful Select reports that WWE creative has pitched a potential program between Trish Stratus and Tiffany Stratton.
However, the report notes that these plans were not finalized as of this past weekend. It is also unclear if Stratus will appear on the Raw or SmackDown portion of the double taping.
This would mark Stratus’s first appearance on WWE television since her feud with Becky Lynch last year. That storyline ended with Stratus losing a steel cage match at the Payback event.

Monday Night Raw (June 30, 2025)
The show is scheduled to be a significant episode. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and SmackDown GM Nick Aldis are set to make a joint announcement regarding the Evolution 2 event.
Rhea Ripley will also open the show following her victory at Night of Champions. Additionally, GUNTHER is scheduled to deliver a message to his upcoming opponent, Goldberg.
Three matches have been announced for the broadcast. The New Day will defend their WWE World Tag Team Championships against The Judgment Day.
In other action, Sheamus will face Rusev in a singles match. Sami Zayn will also team with Penta to take on the duo of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
Stratus has a brief but important history with the Evolution event. She played a key role in the first-ever all-women’s pay-per-view in 2018.
Originally, Stratus was scheduled for a high-profile singles match against Alexa Bliss. Due to an injury to Bliss just before the show, the plans were changed. The match was converted into a tag team bout that opened the historic event.
In the revised match, Stratus teamed with her fellow Hall of Famer and iconic rival, Lita. They went on to defeat the team of Mickie James and Alicia Fox.
