Backstage News On Becky Lynch – Trish Stratus Not Taking Place At WWE SummerSlam – As noted, tonight’s RAW saw Adam Pearce grant Becky Lynch her rematch against Trish Stratus, but Zoey Stark immediately rushed the ring and attacked Lynch for the DQ.
After a ringside brawl, Pearce booked Lynch vs. Stratus for the August 14 RAW from the Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Stark will be banned from ringside.
The big news is that Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus will not be happening at SummerSlam after all.
We noted months ago how Lynch vs. Stratus was always planned for SummerSlam. Now Fightful Select reports that plans for the match changed this past weekend as the match was discussed for WWE Payback on September 2 at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. WWE officials then decided on the match for the August 14 RAW.
There had been online rumors on Lynch possibly taking time off around SummerSlam but Fightful says there is nothing to those rumors.
Lynch and Stratus met for the first time at Night of Champions on May 27 in Saudi Arabia. Stratus won the first bout with an assist from Zoey Stark, and the program continued through July’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view and on Raw in the ensuing weeks.
The Stratus vs. Lynch feud was set in motion on the April 10 Raw show, where Stratus teamed with Lynch in defending the Women’s Tag Team titles. After they lost the match, Stratus turned heel on Lynch to set up the Night of Champions bout.
