Trish Stratus may get one more run with the WWE Women's Championship.

The WWE Hall of Famer made her return Friday Night on SmackDown as Tiffany Stratton chose to defend her title against Trish at Evolution.

Since IYO SKY was granted the opportunity to hand pick her opponent for next weekend's show in Atlanta, Stratton was afforded that same honor and said it just wouldn't be Evolution without a little Stratusfaction.

Look who it is!

Trish Stratus is celebrating her 25th anniversary in professional wrestling. She last competed at Elimination Chamber back in March when she teamed with Stratton to defeat Nia Jax and Candice LeRae in her hometown of Toronto.

The 7-Time Women's Champion now has a chance to win her eighth title when she faces Stratton one-on-one at Evolution on Sunday, July 13. A win for Status would also mean a date with Jade Cargill at SummerSlam in August.

This match wasn't the only one added to the Evolution card Friday night on SmackDown. After Jade Cargill was attacked backstage once again by Naomi, a WrestleMania 41 rematch was booked. This time it will be No Holds Barred.
