Few names in professional wrestling command the same level of respect as Trish Stratus. Her rise from fitness model to seven-time WWE Women’s Champion redefined what it meant to be a female superstar in the wrestling industry.

Born in Toronto, Canada, Trish Stratus initially pursued a career in kinesiology, but fate had other plans. When a university strike disrupted her studies, she was offered an opportunity to become a fitness model. Her stunning looks and dedication to physical fitness quickly earned her recognition, leading to magazine covers and brand endorsements.

Her presence in the fitness industry eventually caught the attention of WWE, and she signed with the company in 1999.

Trish began her WWE career as a manager, aligning herself with Test & Albert. However, she was determined to prove that she wasn’t just there for show—she wanted to wrestle.

Through relentless training and dedication, Trish developed into one of the most technically skilled women in WWE. By 2001, she won her first Women’s Championship, marking the start of a dominant career.

Trish’s WWE journey saw her engage in some of the most iconic rivalries in wrestling history, including:

• Her fierce battles with Lita, culminating in the first-ever Women’s Main Event on Raw (2004).
• Her WrestleMania 22 showdown with Mickie James, which remains one of the most memorable women’s matches in WWE history.
• Her legendary street fights with Victoria, proving that women’s wrestling could be just as intense as the men’s division.

Trish became a seven-time Women’s Champion, earning her place as one of WWE’s greatest female competitors.

In 2006, Trish retired from full-time wrestling after winning her seventh championship. Her farewell match at Unforgiven 2006 was a fitting tribute to her career, as she defeated Lita in her hometown of Toronto.

She was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013, a testament to her impact on the industry.
