Trish Stratus was the hottest news coming out of the April 17 episode of Raw as her heel turn is now in full effect.
Stratus started the promo by reminding fans that it was her and her alone that started the women’s revolution. Before she came in the door many years ago there was no women’s division and she made it. She corrected any thought that Lita would be included in that and admitted to be the one that took Lita out last week.
Stratus would then direct her message to Becky Lynch. She says she wanted to make sure that she was the one who made Lynch lose the tag titles. And she did just that. She was set out to prove that she is no one’s sidekick when it came to Lita and Lynch.
She ended the promo with, “I am the greatest of all time. I am the single most important figure in the history of WWE, and I’m here to make sure none of you forget it.” She dropped the mic to end the segment.
There were two women’s matches this week as the first was the Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair taking on Dakota Kai. Ringside was Bayley and the number one contender IYO SKY.
Although taking Belair to her limits, Kai wasn’t able to get the victory as Belair landed the KOD to win the match. In a WWE digital exclusive, Bayley attempted to clear the air on anyone continuing to say there are issues within Damage CTRL before Kai cut her off.
Kai says she appreciates Bayley always hyping her up but she did fail against Belair. She then directed it to SKY to be the one to take the title off of her. SKY says she sees Bianca’s weakness and will beat her.
The second women’s match was the shorter of the two but it was Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville taking on Michin and Candice LeRae. The tag champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez sat at ringside. Green and Deville will be getting a title opportunity this Friday and needed a win to gain momentum. And a win they got after Green landed the Unprettier on Michin.
Nikki Cross was in the crowd, still stalking Candice.
Post-match, Green and Deville threw water in the face of the champs. On Raw Talk, Morgan gave a huge message that water is not going to make them mad as she poured more water on herself. She says to “watch us” if Green and Deville think they are taking the tag titles.
Maxxine Dupri was on as well still fighting with Chad Gable over Otis.
