WrestleMania 39 was one of the biggest and most highly anticipated events in the world of professional wrestling. Fans eagerly awaited the stacked two-night event featuring some of the top stars, future champions, and Hall of Famers from WWE’s past, present, and future. One of the most talked-about matches was the six-woman tag team match on Night 1 between Becky Lynch, Lita, and Trish Stratus against Damage CTRL. The match was highly significant for many reasons, including Stratus’ successful return to the WWE ring after a hiatus of two years.
Becky Lynch Leads Her Team to Victory
The match saw a heated rivalry between the two teams culminating in an epic showdown in front of a live audience. Lynch had been in a rivalry with Bayley, Iyo Sky, and Dakota Kai and needed backup. Lita returned to provide support during a steel cage match between Lynch and Bayley where she prevented interference from Sky and Kai. Bayley accepted a challenge from Lynch and Lita for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships against Sky and Kai, but they lost.
The six-woman tag team match saw an impressive performance by Lynch, Lita, and Stratus who secured their first tag team title wins of their illustrious careers. The trio ended Iyo and Dakota’s reign at an impressive 114 days. However, their post-match celebrations were cut short when Damage CTRL confronted them challenging them for a rematch at WrestleMania.
Trish Stratus’ Historic Return to WWE Ring
Trish Stratus is considered one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time having won the Women’s Championship seven times during her career. She had not competed in a WWE ring since her match against Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam 2019, and fans were eager to see her return at WrestleMania 39. Despite her semi-retirement in 2006, Stratus has maintained an excellent physical shape, running her own business and homeschooling her kids.
The match was intense, with both teams putting on a show for the crowd. Lynch countered a Bayleyto-Belly attempt with a Manhandle Slam to pin Bayley for the win. Stratus and Lita accompanied Lynch to the ring for her match against IYO SKY, providing backup during an explosive showdown. Stratus demonstrated why she is one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time, putting on an unforgettable performance in the ring.
A Historic Win for Team Lynch, Lita, and Stratus
The match had five possible finishes, including a chaotic ending with no proper winners or Damage CTRL winning due to Lita & Trish Stratus’ ring rust. However, it was Team Lynch, Lita, and Stratus who emerged victorious after an impressive display of teamwork and athleticism. Their historic win set the stage for what promises to be an explosive rematch at WrestleMania.
In conclusion, WWE fans witnessed a historic moment at WrestleMania 39 as Trish Stratus made her successful return to the WWE ring teaming up with Becky Lynch and Lita to defeat Damage CTRL in a high-octane six-woman tag team match. Stratus demonstrated why she is considered one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time, putting on an unforgettable performance in the ring. The victory cemented Lynch’s position as one of WWE’s top stars and marked a historic moment in WWE history.
