5 Revolutionary female wrestlers in WWE

#2 Trish Stratus

By and large, Trish Stratus is one of the most influential women of the modern wrestling era. Ask anyone in the world and they will say that she played a hand in finding their love for professional wrestling, from the more surprising names such as Kia Stevens (better known to some as Awesome Kong), to the more obvious such as Carmella and Alexa Bliss.

She held the Women's Championship a record seven times, had some amazing matches and helped break down barriers for women in the wrestling world.

While Trish is certainly one of the most decorated champions in the history of the company, the beginnings of her career definitely did not show the future that she would have. Initially brought into the WWE solely based on her looks, it was her love and passion for the business that pushed her to work hard at her craft.

Whether she was a lovable face or a despicable heel, Trish knew just what to say or what facial expression to make to either get the fans on her side or to hate her guys. When you talk about someone who is a pioneer, Trish Stratus is one of few that can make legitimate claim to said title.
