Trish Stratus wasn't involved in this year's WrestleMania festivities, and yet, she still managed to grab the spotlight.
Stratus was in attendance for the WWE's Hall of Fame ceremony last Friday night. She posted a heartfelt message on Instagram for Stephanie McMahon, who was part of this year's Hall of Fame class.
"So incredibly proud of you, Steph. Watching your journey up close has been nothing short of inspiring - this honour is beyond deserved," Stratus wrote. "Congratulations on your Hall of Fame induction. Love you."
While there's no doubt McMahon received her flowers on Friday, it was Stratus who sent fans into a frenzy.
Photos of Stratus' outfit for the Hall of Fame ceremony legitimately left some of her fans speechless. Of course, there were plenty of fans who raved about her appearance.
"Absolutely breathtaking," one fan commented.
"Real life Disney princess," an Instagram user wrote.
"She’ll never fall off i swear," a second fan declared.
"Trish Stratus doesn't age," another social media user said. "She's still very beautiful and classy."

Stratus joined the WWE in 2000 and immediately established herself as a dominant force, winning the Women's Championship in 2001.
To this day, Stratus' 448-day title reign is the longest of any women's champion in WWE history.
“Gorgeous, powerful and talented, the Canadian beauty was easy on the eyes but tough on opponents. This rare mix of good looks and skill helped Trish Stratus nab a record seven Women’s Championships during her run with WWE,” her bio states. “Trish Stratus’ reputation as one of the greatest females in sports-entertainment history did not come easily though. First achieving success as a fitness model, she entered WWE in March 2000 as a manager, leading the careers of Test, Albert and Val Venis. Immediately, the WWE Universe could tell she was someone worth looking at it, but Trish Stratus was dismissed as just that — eye candy.”
Stratus hasn't competed in the ring since 2025, but fans aren't ruling out another return to the spotlight. Until then, the Hall of Famer will be causing a stir with her social media content.
