– Trish Stratus came out and talked about history. Trish said back in 2000 when she debuted, women’s wrestling was a joke. Trish said she was the trailblazer that changed things, not her & Lita – just her. She was the first woman to main event RAW.
She said fans should’ve chanted “Thank you Trish” in the main event of WrestleMania 35 in 2019, which was the first ever women’s WrestleMania main event.

“Trish Stratus is nobody’s sidekick.”

“I’m not a nostalgia act. I’m not your childhood fantasy. I’m the greatest of all time.”
