Trish Stratus, a WWE Hall of Famer, has established herself as a force to be reckoned with in professional wrestling. With a career spanning over two decades, Stratus has excelled as both a babyface and a heel, earning her a unique place in the annals of WWE history. Her feud with Becky Lynch, which culminated in a shocking heel turn on Monday Night RAW, has only added to her legend. In a recent interview with After The Bell’s Kevin Patrick, Stratus made it clear that she believes she was the original “The Man” long before Lynch claimed the moniker.
Stratus’s assertion was met with skepticism, as Lynch has been widely regarded as the biggest star in WWE since 2019, earning the nickname “The Man” in the process. Despite this, Stratus remains convinced that she was the true original, stating that she was “the OG” and that her moniker is simply “Trish Stratus.” This confidence is not unfounded, as Stratus has a storied career that predates Lynch’s WWE tenure.

Stratus’s comments have sparked controversy, with some fans praising her conviction and others criticizing her for downplaying the contributions of other wrestlers. Lynch, in particular, has been the subject of Stratus’s criticism, with Stratus dismissing the idea that Lynch’s moniker is somehow connected to her own. The feud between Stratus and Lynch remains a fascinating topic of discussion, with many fans eagerly anticipating how WWE will choose to build on these developments.
As the dust settles on Stratus’s heel turn, one thing is clear: Trish Stratus is a force to be reckoned with in WWE. Her dominance as a wrestler, coupled with her unwavering confidence, makes her a compelling character. Whether or not Stratus was truly “The Man” before Lynch is open to interpretation, but one thing is certain: Trish Stratus is a wrestling legend who will continue to shape the WWE terrain for years to come.
