#4. Trish Stratus - 2011

An underwhelming return for a legend
An underwhelming return for a legend

Trish Stratus' return in the summer of 2019 was undoubtedly a perfect one. She feuded with one of WWE's top woman Charlotte Flair and they had a great match at SummerSlam, filled with good psychology, great athleticism and the women simply had unspoken chemistry that translated beautifully in the ring.

It was the perfect send-off for Stratus as she seemingly closed the book on her in-ring career for good and in doing so, she helped build the present and future. However, not all of her returns were that great.

2011 is an example of a less-than-perfect return where she teamed up with Snooki and John Morrison for a rather forgettable WrestleMania match. For some reason, fans didn't take to Stratus or simply weren't thrilled by the fact that she was being wasted for a celebrity match at WrestleMania. She didn't get the reaction that she would have desired and though she was still solid in the ring, it was clear that something didn't click. Thankfully, that brief run would end then and there.
