Trish Status is a WWE Hall of Famer, a 7 time WWE Women’s Champion, and some consider her to be one of the best to ever lace up the boots.

Trish hasn’t been a full time wrestler for many years, but she did make her return to the ring during the first ever women’s Royal Rumble match, and she looked impressive to say the least.

During the 2013 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, Trish announced that she was pregnant with her first child, and she gave birth to her son later that year. In 2016 she announced that she was expecting her second child, and her daughter Madison later arrived in January of 2017.

After being 12 months removed from her pregnancy, Trish fought in the Royal Rumble, and she recently reflected on this milestone when she posted the following on Instagram:

“If you had told me I would be celebrating my daughters first year birth month by kicking ass in a @wwe ring, I would have probably said ‘get the F out of here’. But I did. At 12 months postpartum, 12 years post retirement and 7 years since I’ve competed in a ring and since birthed 2 children – I did it…. I came. I fought. I stratusfied.”

She also made it a point to give a shout out to the other moms that competed in the match.

“And can we talk about the 7 of the 30 women in the ring at the FIRST EVER ALL WOMEN Royal Rumble that are MOTHERS?? Just because I had a baby, doesn’t mean I have to stop doing me. In fact, I am a stronger, wiser, more bad assy version of me, because trust me, birthing and babies do that to a woman! So let’s take a minute to shout out to the mama’s out there who are doing it, to the soon to be mama’s – get ready to be a better, stronger version of you! To @themickiejames @thebethphoenix @guerrero_vickie @saronasnukawwe @mimicalacool @thebriebella who showed us baby bumps to wrestling bumps is a thing”

At 42 years old, Trish Status is in incredible shape as evidenced by the before and after photos below.

Dave is basically the king of fitness photography, he’s used to shooting the top fitness people in the world, so for him to have captured such a tender (and round!) moment, blew me away and I am forever grateful for his artistic eye. When we shot this in 2017, I was about ready to pop and I said ‘hey we should totally shoot this in 1 year but with my abs back’. I kind of said it jokingly because after two babies, I wasn’t sure they would be back. Cue Dave’s wifey @nichellelaus … she is what they call a transformation specialist (and multiple fitness cover girl, kick boxer, mom of 4, and a bad ass!). And she said in a very serious tone “whenever you are ready, let me know. I will train you. Let’s do it!”. Thx Nich, for helping me find me – and my abs again!!😜 – Thx to @milayudinadesign for this gorgeous styling (this cloak is from her personal collection, how awesome is it??). Hair & makeup by my girl @byvalerianova of @twochicksandsomelipstick. Shout out to @hairbystavro24 who convinced me to go full blond. And thx to @amanda__lifts for this nifty side by side edit!
