Trish Stratus' greatest hits: 4 WWE moments that made her a legend
Image via WWE Trish Stratus' WWE career had some defining moments that became highly memorable for years. Trish Stratus is one of the most renowned female WWE superstars of all time. She came into the business at a time when women did not get significant opportunities. Yet, Stratus defied the odds and, with her in-ring skills, presentation, and ability to shatter glass ceilings, became a prominent figure in the industry. In doing so, she paved the way for future generations of women, who achieved major feats, including main-eventing WWE's premier event, WrestleMania. With a Hall of Fame career that had a long-lasting legacy, here are the three moments that became iconic with her in WWE: 4. Betraying Chris Jericho at WrestleMania — WrestlePurists (@WrestlePurists) Chris Jericho and Christian had a bet to impress top WWE superstars, Trish Stratus and Lita, respectively.

While she dropped her title to Lita, it was a game-changing night for her career and women in WWE. 1.

Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed to get new stablemates in two prominent NXT stars
Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman's new faction (Image via WWE) Seth Rollins is rolling into WWE as one of the biggest stars of the division and has shown through his hard work and domineering personality how fortune truly favors the brave. Recently, after the infamous Paul Heyman betrayal that left not just fans, but also Roman Reigns and CM Punk completely shocked, Rollins has found a new group to have his back. Although who knows when betrayal strikes again. But for now, looks like this new stable is looking to add more stablemates, and NXT stars Ethan Page and Ricky Saints are said to be in the mix. Former and current NXT North American Champions could join Seth Rollins' stable The Former NXT North American Champion, Ricky Saints, who recently lost his title to the current NXT North American Champion, Ethan Page, are both in consideration to join Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman's brand new stable. Rollins already has Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed on his side, and could be adding two more to the equation. Fightful had previously reported that WWE had no plans on adding more members to the stable, at least until the WrestleMania weekend. But things seem to have changed after the Saturday Night Main Event episode back in May, when Bronson Reed joined Rollins and Breakker inside the ring to take out CM Punk. Paul Heyman is, of course, also a part of this group after he betrayed not only Roman Reigns but also CM Punk and changed the course of their storyline to a completely different route. And now, according to Bodyslam, WWE is planning on adding more members to this exciting new stable. And the two NXT stars who recently fought it out amongst each other are their top choices for the job. Both Ethan Page and Ricky Saints are exceptional wrestlers and have taken the NXT crowd by storm. So it is not a surprise that WWE is planning to make a shift and bring them to the big leagues. While this could mean exciting new things happening inside the Stamford-based promotion, things are not set in stone. This stable has a lot of potential, and adding new stars to the mix could go either way. Until then, fans can enjoy Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman's brand new stable as it is, and keep their fingers crossed for what comes next.

Charlotte Flair doubts another women's WrestleMania main event will ever happen
Charlotte Flair does not see a WrestleMania main event for women happening in the future. Charlotte Flair has become one of the most accomplished superstars of this generation. She has claimed 14 World titles and major accolades throughout her WWE career. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A huge milestone she etched in her resume was back in 2019, when she became a part of the first-ever women's main event at WrestleMania 35. Despite being a main eventer herself, Flair does not see that incredible sight recreated in the future. Charlotte Flair gives her take on a women's WrestleMania main event not happening again In a recent interview with Games with Names, Charlotte Flair spoke about women getting another chance at main eventing WrestleMania. The Queen stated that it would never happen again unless WWE reverted to a one-night format for The Show of Shows. She said, 'It was the main event of only one night [Becky v Ronda v Charlotte], now we have two nights. So it's a big deal, like now you have two nights, two different opportunities, so that being the main event of one night was huge. Like it'll never happen again, unless we go to one night.' Charlotte Flair competed in the first-ever women's WrestleMania main event. It was a 'Winner Take All' triple-threat match between her, , and at WrestleMania 35. Rousey walked into the match as the RAW Women's Champion, while Flair was the SmackDown Women's Champion. The trio delivered a highly captivating showdown that ended in Lynch becoming a double champion and taking her fame to unprecedented heights. This was the last Mania under the one-night era. Furthermore, two women got a chance to main event The Showcase of the Immortals under its two-day format. Two years after Lynch won the titles in grand fashion, Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair competed in the main event of Night 1 of WrestleMania 37. Moreover, it was two black women to headline the match, which made it even more significant, and saw Belair winning the match and the SmackDown Women's title. With the history etching two remarkable women's WrestleMania main events, it remains to be seen if the current crop of talent can prove Flair's statement to be wrong and achieve that same prestigious accolade.
