Trish is a 7x WWE Women&#8217;s Champion and one of the most beloved Superstars of the Attitude Era and beyond. She retired in 2006, after only six years in the business, but has made several special returns since. She returned for a special mixed tag match in 2008 alongside <strong>John Cena<\/strong>, and then a year later teamed with <strong>MVP<\/strong> for another mixed tag match in Toronto, Ontario. She returned in 2011 for a very short run to set up a <em><strong>WrestleMania 27<\/strong><\/em> match up alongside <strong>John Morrison<\/strong> and <em><strong>Jersey Shore<\/strong><\/em>&#8216;s <strong>Snooki<\/strong> against <strong>Dolph Ziggler<\/strong> and <strong>LayCool<\/strong> (Michelle McCool &amp; Layla). She took time away from wrestling to start a family, but returned for the first ever Women&#8217;s Royal Rumble this January.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trish Stratus returns to action in the first-ever Women&#039;s Royal Rumble Match: Royal Rumble 2018\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/96V4Guw71HE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Alexa Bliss is herself a 5x WWE Women&#8217;s Champion (3x RAW, 2x Smackdown) and emerged as one of the more popular women in the women&#8217;s division right now.
