Wwe trish stratus popscreen

Stratus, along with her greatest rival, Lita, were the first women to main event Monday Night Raw and showed that women could, and would, grapple as well as the men, and were more than just pretty faces on the screen. In an exclusive interview with ScreenRant ahead of the Royal Rumble , Stratus spoke about the introduction of the Women's midcard championships, her thoughts on the inaugural champions, Chelsea Green and Lyra Valkyria, and how it's helped the women's division become just as dominant as the men's roster.

When asked what advice she'd give to the new champions, Stratus had some strong advice for Green. That might help. You know, people really dislike her, and sometimes in life, you won't get far if you're disliked, you know? You may become US Champion but a lot of people don't like you and people want friends. Could those be fighting words?

The Rumble is as much about micro-narratives as it is about the showcase itself, and the most memorable moments add a greater level of emotional depth than flashy spots. With rumors of Stratus' potential participation in the Royal Rumble match, her comments set up the tantalizing prospect of one of those mini-storylines during the tentpole.

I know it's been discussed. I don't know specifically if it is for a Rumble appearance, but I know it's been discussed. There's only so many women's legends they can call on, especially those that can still do it, and she's one of them.

The on-screen relationship that developed between Christian and Trish Stratus stemmed from a “battle of the sexes” storyline which pitted Chris.

Such conflict would represent something of a cyclical moment for Green, whose WWE debut was intended to build towards a copycat storyline that would have emulated how Stratus was booked with Micke James 15 years earlier. Reports from Fightful Select confirmed Green had filmed segments with James before plans changed at the last minute:.

The story had a pretty solid plan and we're told that several in creative were very excited about it, but it inexplicably got scrapped. The story that we've heard would have had Mickie James put in Trish Stratus' shoes from 15 years ago.
