5. Trish Stratus

Trish Stratus is probably one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time. Looking back at her career, it is quite easy to see the the 7-time Women’s Champion was way ahead of her time. She always stood a class apart from her contemporaries.

In fact, the only other women’s wrestler who could match her level was Lita, and the duo made for a very intriguing rivalry. One can even assume that Trish Stratus was the one who was in many ways responsible for the Women’s Revolution.

Trish had one of the most memorable careers in the history of the WWE. She was fearless and took on all comers. Sadly, all good things must come to an as this was the case for the Canadian born wrestler who retired at the young age of 30. However, she went out in style with her hands raised high when she defeated her longtime rival Lita for the WWE Women’s Championship.
