The alliance between Zoey Stark and WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus has come to an end, and it appears that Stark’s role was hand-picked by Stratus herself. The rivalry between Stratus and Becky Lynch reached its climax at WWE Payback, with Stratus emerging victorious in their Steel Cage match despite interference from Stark. However, after the match, Stratus blamed Stark for the interference and ended up slapping her. In response, Stark fought back and left Stratus lying with a Z360 move, much to the delight of the crowd.
In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Stark spoke about her experience working with Stratus and how much she has learned from the WWE veteran. Stark said, “She’s helped me grow my game. Trish is so smart. Her knowledge of small details and how to project those, that separates her from everyone else. When I see Trish wrestle, it all just makes so much sense.”
It was revealed that Stratus specifically chose Stark to play the role of her muscle on the RAW brand. Stark shared that she found out about the program while shopping with her husband, Tom Howard, who wrestled as Green Beret in Japan. Stark expressed her excitement about the opportunity, saying, “My heart stopped when I found out I’d work with Trish. It’s the opportunity I had been working for. We were extremely happy.”
Unfortunately, Stark came up short in her match against Shayna Baszler on this week’s episode of RAW. This was a rematch of their August 7 match, which also ended with the same result. For more details on how Stark is currently perceived within WWE, you can read the report here.
