In doing media for the lead-up to tonight's PPV, Stratus noted she had concerns about coming back for a singles matches. With her original retirement match taking place back in 2006, Stratus has since worked a handful of matches for WWE, mostly tag team. In an interview with Busted Open Radio, Stratus commented about concerns she had coming into a match of this magnitude.

"Royal Rumble was, of course, just a spot and WWE Evolution last October was a tag match so, that was just a few spots, but this, however, I don't know how long it's going to be and am a little worried about stamina, but yeah, I've been in there literally constantly since mid-July as much as I could and I am really happy," Stratus said. "My brain is a little behind my body and what I mean by that is that I will do something and I will question whether what I did was any good and then I'd watch it back and I'd be like, oh, okay, that was good, and my body is saying that I got this but your brain thinks you can't do it because sometimes you feel old 'AF' and that's that, but yeah, I've been happy that I can still do this."

"It's a marquee match, right? It's like a dream match, you have two of the most decorated females in WWE history facing off," Stratus said. "It's just so unique, what are the chances you could get this? I feel like, in five years, I could only bring you 80 percent, I can't give ya 110 percent. I'm bringing 110 percent on Sunday, if I'm able to. So, I think we've caught it at the right time. Ya know, it's my final match. I feel like this is it and this is a perfect moment to have my final farewell."
