A familiar face was in the crowd for Friday Night SmackDown—former two-time WWE Women’s Champion Victoria. Lilian Garcia shared the news on her Instagram stories, confirming that Victoria was in attendance for the January 17 episode of SmackDown.
Victoria, who signed a WWE Legends deal in August 2024, hasn’t competed in a WWE ring since Royal Rumble 2021, where she made a surprise return as an entrant in the Women’s Royal Rumble match. While she hasn’t officially announced any plans for an in-ring comeback, her presence at SmackDown has definitely turned some heads.
With WWE bringing back multiple legends for special appearances and even short-term storylines, fans are already speculating what her attendance could mean. Whether she was just there to watch the action or if there’s something more in the works remains to be seen.
Victoria is one of WWE’s most respected women’s champions from the early 2000s, with memorable feuds against the likes of Trish Stratus, Lita, and Mickie James. Her last WWE match might have been three years ago, but could she have one more fight left in her?
What do you think Victoria’s presence at SmackDown means? Could she be gearing up for another match, or was she just there to enjoy the show? Drop your thoughts below!
