Stratton Retains Title; WWE Legends Return at Evolution

At WWE Evolution in Atlanta, Trish Stratus challenged Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship but was defeated, with Stratton retaining her title and suggesting a possible heel turn. Nikki Bella also returned, participating in the battle royal and expressing interest in future WWE storylines. The build to the Stratus-Stratton match was criticized as rushed by Stratus and wrestling veteran Vince Russo, who questioned Stratus’s qualification for a title shot. Despite her defeat, Stratus received a standing ovation from fans. Tiffany Stratton is now scheduled to defend her title against Jade Cargill at SummerSlam. WWE’s inclusion of legends like Stratus and Bella highlights both the celebration of women’s wrestling history and ongoing discussions about opportunities for current roster talent.
