"The Man" has come around.
Becky Lynch had been absent since Trish Stratus attacked her on the April 10 episode of WWE Raw, where she and "The Man" lost the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Stratus explained her actions on the April 17 episode of WWE Raw, but Lynch hadn't been seen since.
On the May 8 episode of WWE Raw, WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus came to the ring after she put up missing posters of Lynch backstage earlier in the show. Stratus, who was wearing a shirt with the "missing" image on it, noted that Lynch was missing, but she believed the fan-favorite would be found. When she was, Stratus stated that the WWE Universe would thank her. Stratus described how she bet Lynch would be found somewhere in Iowa with her daughter, who didn't even know her colors yet.
Lynch's music hit, and the crowd popped like "The Man" was about to enter the arena. Instead, it was a fake-out that Stratus had planned, as she laughed at the fans for falling for it. Shortly thereafter, Lynch's music hit again, and the former Raw Women's Champion snuck into the ring behind Stratus.
