Trish Stratus made a surprising heel turn this week on RAW, leaving fans puzzled with her attack on Becky Lynch. It has now come to light that the backstage producer responsible for booking the segment was Canadian wrestler Petey Williams.
Trish Stratus’ Heel Turn
Stratus’ change in character comes after around 19 years of being a babyface. The heel turn was not something fans expected from the Hall of Famer, who was thought to be there to help Becky Lynch in the campaign against Damage CTRL and Bayley.
Attack on Becky Lynch
After Lita was mysteriously injured during WWE RAW ahead of the tag title defense, Stratus stepped up to tag with Lynch. However, Stratus ended up being pinned by Liv Morgan and attacked Lynch moments after the bout.
Role of Petey Williams
There has been no complete answer from Stratus as to why she attacked Lynch, but a rivalry seems imminent. A backstage report about RAW from Fightful Select revealed that legendary Canadian wrestler Petey Williams was responsible for booking the match and segment. Williams, who has been a regular presence during shows, is currently signed by WWE as a backstage producer.
Although Stratus’ heel turn could lead to another WWE Hall of Famer making their return, it is still unclear why she attacked Lynch. Her blunt explanation via Twitter features Billie Eilish’s “I’m The Bad Guy” playing in the background, highlighting the lyric, “I’m the Bad Guy, Duh!” Fans are eager to find out her reasons over the coming weeks.
