WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus had an intense rivalry with Becky Lynch last year, culminating in an unforgettable match at Payback 2023. Before the match, Stratus shocked fans by cussing out an audience member, a moment that quickly went viral. However, Stratus has now revealed that she doesn’t even remember the incident as she was concussed.

While speaking on Ring the Belle, Trish Stratus was asked about the viral clip where she cussed out a fan before her Payback match. Stratus revealed she doesn’t remember cussing out the fan because she was concussed at the time.

Reflecting on the moment, Stratus admitted she was so caught up in the situation that she had no memory of it happening. When she later saw the clip, she was shocked, questioning if she had really done it.

“I didn’t say that—that must have been the Trish Stratus’ heel side coming out. Honestly, I must have had an out-of-body experience. I never swear. On my socials, I’m like, f-asterisks everywhere, and you’re saying it’s her influence because my bestie has such a foul mouth! I remember hearing about the match—like, ‘Oh, that thing you did before the match went viral.’ I was like, ‘What? First of all, I was concussed, so like, what match?’ I really had no memory of it. I was so in the moment, I didn’t even realize it happened. Then I saw it back, and I was like, ‘Guys, did I really do that?’ Little old me?”
