WWE Royal Rumble 2018: Predicting The Final 4 Female Superstars

Trish Stratus

Back in a time where women in wrestling were expected to strip to their underwear and demean themselves to be considered to be on TV, Trish Stratus was a legitimate and believable wrestler. She is a trailblazer, starting as a valet but deciding to train to make herself into a true-to-form revolutionary who bucked the trends.

Trish loved wrestling enough to not be content with just being another face in the crowd or a body to ogle over. She was girl power before it was something printed on T-shirts at WalMart. And boy, was she over. One could argue that the only people in the company who got bigger pops than her were Steve Austin and The Rock.

If WWE really wants to make this a historic moment, it has to take its own history into consideration. Putting Trish, a true legend, in the final four would be the final thank-you to a career that truly helped shape women’s wrestling today. Not only that, but it would help the newer audience acquire a larger understanding of the history of women’s wrestling in WWE. She wouldn’t win, but imagine her staring down Asuka, Sasha and… well… the final of the four.
