Trish Stratus has had an impressive career and throughout the years she’s had her fair share of WrestleMania moments. On the road to WrestleMania 20 she was involved in a storyline with Chris Jericho and Christian and the two stars faced off in a singles match at the event.
When it came time for the finish it seemed that Trish had accidentally cost Jericho the match, but when it was all said and done Stratus turned on Jericho and also turned heel in the process when she aligned herself with Christian. Stratus recently explained on the Getting Over podcast that the heel turn was something Vince McMahon had come up with on the night of WrestleMania.
“There are a couple of crazy things. I believe everything happens for a reason. During that storyline, it was supposed to be, the whole beginning of the storyline was for Chris Jericho and I to end up together and we were going to be Trishtopher, and we were this quirky Canadian comedy duo, which people get annoyed with but find endearing. That was supposed to be the whole thing.”
“When Vince came to us, the night of WrestleMania, and said, ‘I think we’re going to change things up. We’re going to have…’ and he explained I would go heel. ‘What? This is so many months of storyline to get to this moment.’ We were excited about it. We thought fans wanted this, and they did, and that’s why he changed it. Fans wanted it so bad, he thought no one ever expected me to turn. For me, personally, it was a great moment and I was able to turn.”
Trish Stratus will be returning to the ring at WrestleMania 39 when she teams with Lita & Becky Lynch to face Damage CTRL. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
