Trish Stratus is a wrestling icon for many reasons. People still remember moments from her original run in WWE back in the early 2000s.
It’s only a testament to her greatness that she was able to make a comeback almost two decades later for another run last year and give fans some more memories to cherish.
This included matches such as her cage match with Becky Lynch at Payback 2023 which according to the former champion herself, might be her greatest match ever.
The WWE Hall of Famer recently had an interview with The Gorilla Position podcast. Among other things, Stratus talked about her most recent run with WWE, and revealed that the cage match is the favourite of her career:
“It’s funny because I was just at a signing this weekend and I [always] get asked what’s your favourite match. I’ve had so many matches that are special for so many reasons that I kind of go into a little blurb about it. But now I’m just like ‘Cage match,’ Like hands down my favourite and for so many reasons.
‘Generational Face Off’: Trish Stratus
Explaining the reason behind this statement, Trish Stratus mentioned how female performers were not afforded such opportunities during her original run with the company. For her, to be able to pull off the match with Lynch was really special:
“Just what it represented. The fact that I could go back this many years later and not only hang with the current crop that sort of thing. But it was more about doing something that I was not able to do. The opportunity was not there for us females back in the day.
So to be able to do something that I was not able to was really special. Then just to be able to pull off such an epic match, you know, generational face off with me and Becky Lynch. The best of this generation [and] the best, arguably I’ve heard, of my generation. It was very special.”
Apart from this, Trish also claimed that she has unfinished business in WWE and teased a potential match with Rhea Ripley for the Money In The Bank 2024 event from Toronto.
