In professional wrestling, intense rivalries that sometimes seemed personal have often been just part of the show. Many wrestlers who were fierce opponents on-screen maintain strong friendships off-screen. Trish Stratus recently revealed that her recent rival, Becky Lynch, reached out to her during a challenging period in her life. Stratus shared in an interview with Bill Apter from “1WrestlingVideo” that being inducted into the Hall of Fame helped lift her out of a dark place of depression. She expressed how much it meant to connect with fans and mentioned that Becky Lynch surprised her by sending flowers, showing kindness beyond their on-screen rivalry.
Stratus also hinted that the difficult time she was referring to involved the loss of her mother, who had battled Hodgkin’s lymphoma for several years. She appreciated the support she received from others during this tough time. Furthermore, Trish hinted at an upcoming “project” that has helped her heal and bring new energy into her life, which she is excited to share soon, with a release planned for November.
