#4: Trish Stratus

Trish also had to battle embarrassing and degrading story lines to get where she is, today.

Stratus debuted in WWF March 2000. She would compete for six years before retiring, but before she did, she racked up the accolades.

Trish is a record-setting seven-time WWE Women’s Champion and held the WWE Hardcore Championship once. She was praised for work she did in-ring, like when she participated in a intergender tag-team match. She was even given the title of Diva of the Decade, solidifying her status as a mover and shaker of women’s wrestling.

After retiring as champ in Sept. 2006, Trish made part-time appearances until 2010, most notably acting as a trainer for WWE Tough Enough. 

In 2013, Trish was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as the youngest member in its history, later inducting fellow trailblazer Lita into the Hall of Fame in 2014.

She was honored at Raw 25, Raw‘s 25th anniversary show, among a group of women thought to be some of the greatest female superstars of WWE’s time.

She also entered as a “legend” in the first women’s Royal Rumble match, and was among the final five standing, before being eliminated.

Stratus is best known for her help in advancing the division into one focused on athleticism, instead of just objectifying wrestlers. She’ll get the chance to stir up some emotions at Evolution, where she’ll team up with Lita, and face old friend Mickie James with Alexa Bliss.
