In a blog post on her official website, Trish Stratus gave her thoughts on Paige and Charlotte getting the main event spot on Monday’s RAW.
“I’m just enjoying the fact that we are having conversations about women who are killing it in male dominated sports,” Stratus wrote. “And, to see it cross over to the squared circle like it did last night was incredibly smart timing on WWE’s part. A big congrats to Paige and Charlotte for earning their spot in the main event. A well-deserved accomplishment that they both proved to be ready for.”
The WWE Hall of Famer went on to say the Divas and the fans are both ready for WWE’s top female talent to headline a PPV.
“Next, it’s time for us to see ladies on the current roster get a main event spot on a PPV card – it’s clear they’re ready, and so are we. Besides, putting their top athletes into the main event spot is what WWE does, gender shouldn’t be a factor.
Here’s to more kick assery in and out of the ring, and to more ladies fighting to show we deserve the same respect, recognition and opportunities as our male counterparts in the same industry. Lord knows we fight/work just as hard for it!”
Trish was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2013 at the age of 38, making her the youngest inductee ever.
