This was Trish’s reaction to me getting a bigger pop tonight at #WWEToronto
I did not deserve this.
Completely unwarranted.

Stratus and Lynch are laying the groundwork for a potential on-screen rivalry. This past Saturday, Lynch shared on Instagram, saying that she’d been taken into custody by an immigration official in Canada primarily because of the Stratus. In addition, last week, Stratus used social media channels to announce her WWE guest-hosting appearances which led Lynch to issue the HOF’s warning.
Lynch was trying to poke fun at Stratus at the live show on Saturday at Kitchener, Canada.
In a recently-aired interview with The B Team Mornings. Stratus identified Lynch as the woman she’d like to take on in a comeback contest. She said:
Well, I mean after the disrespect that Becky Lynch showed to my friend, WWE Hall Of Famer Lita, probably her,” Stratus said. “Only because the opportunity could seem like a possibility. Two, you know, if she happens to be at this live event [in Toronto] and she runs her mouth, you know, I am not doing yoga with her.
Stratus was the host for the two WWE Live events in Canada on the weekend.
