Trish Stratus Says Working With Top Male Stars Changed Women’s Role In WWE

TLDR

Trish Stratus believes a major turning point for women in WWE occurred when female performers were placed in storylines alongside top male stars rather than being treated as a separate attraction. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Stratus pointed to moments involving herself, Triple H, The Rock, and Lita in main event angles as examples of how intergender storylines elevated women and changed how fans perceived female wrestlers. She explained that when women began interacting with the main characters of the show, it allowed fans to view them as being on the same level as the top male stars.
