Trish Stratus

Profile Overview

Patricia Anne Stratigeas (; born December 18, 1975), better known by the ring name Trish Stratus, is a Canadian professional wrestler, yoga instructor, actress and former fitness model. She is signed to WWE. Stratus's 448-day reign as WWF/WWE Women's Champion stands as the longest reign of any women's world champion in the 21st century.
Initially studying at York University to become a doctor, Stratus began her career as a fitness model. She began working for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF; later renamed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)) in 2000. Early in her career, she was mostly involved in sexually themed storylines, such as managing the team T & A and a kayfabe affair with WWE owner Vince McMahon. As Stratus's popularity increased due to receiving more in-ring experience, she was made a one-time WWE Hardcore Champion, three-time "WWE Babe of the Year", and was proclaimed "Diva of the Decade". After nearly seven years in WWE, Stratus retired from professional wrestling on a full-time basis at WWE Unforgiven on September 17, 2006, after winning her record seventh WWE Women's Championship. She became an inductee of the 2013 WWE Hall of Fame.
Following her initial retirement from full-time performing, she has since made part-time WWE appearances. On Raw, she made sporadic tag-team match appearances between 2008 and 2011, including a mixed six-person tag team match at WrestleMania XXVII. In 2018, she returned to WWE to participate in the promotion's first Women's Royal Rumble and later competed at the all-female Evolution event in October of that year. She then wrestled Charlotte Flair in her first singles match on pay-per-view since her initial full-time retirement at SummerSlam 2019. In 2023, Stratus appeared in a six-woman tag team match at WrestleMania 39, after which she returned as a full-time member of the roster up until September of that year. She then took a hiatus and returned in February 2025 at the Royal Rumble.
Aside from professional wrestling, Stratus has appeared on a number of magazine covers and has been involved in charity work. She appeared as a judge on WWE Tough Enough in 2011, where she also had her first role in film as the main character in Bail Enforcers. She has also hosted several award and television shows and formerly owned a yoga studio. From 2022 to 2024, Stratus was featured as a judge on Canada's Got Talent.
