8. Trish Stratus Vs. Lita (Unforgiven 2006)
Trish Stratus is a highly influential figure in women’s wrestling, having inspired an entire generation of female wrestlers. She first appeared in WWE in 2000, starting as a manager before gradually transitioning into a full-time competitor.
At a time when women’s wrestling wasn’t taken seriously, Stratus still proved to be a great in-ring performer and delivered memorable matches. She also held a record-breaking 448-day reign as WWE Women’s Champion. In 2006, it was announced that Stratus would wrestle her final match at Unforgiven in her hometown of Toronto, against her long-time rival Lita, for the WWE Women’s Championship.
Trish and Lita delivered an outstanding match at the PPV, which stood as the best women’s match in WWE for years. Trish won by making Lita tap out to the Sharpshooter, a tribute to fellow Canadian legend Bret Hart, retiring as a record-setting 7-time Women’s Champion.
Stratus has since come out of retirement, however, and has wrestled several matches over the years, including a title match against Tiffany Stratton at Evolution 2025. While it remains to be seen when she’ll have her actual final match, Unforgiven 2006 marked the end of her career as a full-time wrestler and served as a fitting farewell to the legend.
