WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus spoke with Natalya as part of the latest edition of the Calgary Sun column to talk about various topics.
Facing Alexa Bliss
Stratus will make her in-ring return at the upcoming Evolution pay-per-view event on Sunday, October 28, 2018 in Long Island, New York at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum where she’ll face former WWE RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss.
Stratus stated that she has a lot of emotions going into this match as she is proud, honored, and nervous about it. She brought up how a decade or even a few years ago, they could never imagine they would be where they are today.
” It’s amazing, as back then we felt accomplished just getting a match on a pay-per-view event, and here we are with an entire event devoted to us!”
Today’s Female Stars
Although Stratus is no longer a full-time star, she does keep an eye on the stars of today as she noted that she’s proud to know that the blood, sweat, and tears they shed have helped pave the path. She stated that it’s the work of the women of today that have carved a viable and credible place for women in WWE. She brought up how she’s honored and humbled to have been asked back to participate at this event.
“I think pairing me with Alexa Bliss – a woman who in a very short time has accomplished so much – is great as there is a definite parallel to our careers. I think seeing the generational faceoff is intriguing to fans. We’re bringing together the past and present – conceptually it is exciting.”
