Trish Stratus Praises WWE Women’s Division, Big E Urges WWE To Hold Evolution 3 Sooner

Trish Stratus challenged WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton in a losing effort at Sunday’s WWE Evolution 2025 pay-per-view event.

During the post-show panel, Stratus shared her experience of competing at the pay-per-view in her 25th year in the wrestling industry.

You can check out some highlights from the presser below:

On her match: “Listen, at the end of the day I want to make sure I’ve still got it. I don’t want to give my 60%, I want to give 100% every time. So thank you, I do it for you guys!”

On the evolution of the women’s division: “I have that thought, like, ‘Is this the last time?’ Like, it could be. And the WWE Universe has been so wonderful for me and so supportive. I just feel so blessed to be able to dip my toes into the waters of the current landscape, like how lucky I am… it’s never lost on me how lucky I am to know that we built — the girls, me, Ivory, Jackie, the girls you saw in the audience. Lita of course, Mickie, we built the foundation that they built a skyscraper on. So now that I get to come back and kind of dip into that skyscraper… I just feel blessed.

On being able to compete at the level she needs to: “I always have the worry in my mind, ‘I gotta make sure I can hang with these girls.’ I look at the girls, and I’m [stammers], that’s what I do. And then I’m like, ‘okay.’ And I want to knock down the preconceived notions that maybe there’s no expiration date until you say it is. It’s not over until you say it’s over. Unless you say Tiffy Time’s over, and then it’s over.”

On if fans will see her again: “It’s my 25th year, let’s make it a good one.”

Former WWE Champion Big E delivered a heartfelt and passionate speech about WWE Evolution during the post-show panel, urging the company to avoid waiting another seven years before hosting another all-women’s event.

While Big E wants WWE to host Evolution annually, Triple H has confirmed that the all-women’s event won’t be held yearly.

On WWE Evolution: “This industry is one that will often break your heart, it will disappoint you, it will sometimes have you questioning why you still watch wrestling. Nights like tonight remind you. They make you feel something. I damn near broke down in tears watching that. I’m sure watching at home was incredible. Being here was a spiritual experience. We saw two women put their bodies on the line. We saw two of the very best at their craft give you everything. Put this match up against anything you’ll see all year. Let us stand on our feet and put our hands together and salute you Rhea Ripley, thank you for what you did tonight. Thank you, IYO SKY, for your dedication to your craft. Thank you for giving it your all. Thank you for your sweat. Think of all the things these women sacrifice every night. What they did here tonight, they left us with something truly special that I will not forget for a very long time.”

On wanting WWE to host Evolution yearly: “What we saw here tonight from the very beginning of the card all night long set the table. We got incredible matches. What a night. Let’s please not wait another seven years to do this. Please. So much of the conversation going into this was the build, Beyonce, athletic events going on. What these women did here tonight, they put all that aside. I have to give a lot of love to the fans. They were loud, they were vocal, they were into everything they saw. What an incredible night.”
