Trish Stratus out herself and Bayley alongside Lita and Sasha Banks on her Mt. Rushmore of Women’s wrestling. However, the former WWE Champion’s choice of best women wrestlers didn’t sit well with the fans who largely expected Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch on the list. Though Stratus had a long decorative in-ring career that backs up her choices, fans also have their own takes.
Stratus helped Lita and Becky Lynch against Damage CTRL during a recent episode of Raw. But when it comes to the Mount Rushmore list, he chose Lita over Lynch, a move that fans think is not justified at all. Considering what she has achieved in the ring and is one of the first women along with Charlotte Flair to headline WrestleMania, fans think The Man deserves to be among Stratus’ list of the most decorated female wrestlers.
I'm sorry but Becky Lynch should be on everyone's Mount Rushmore. She is the greatest women's superstar of all time. Bayley over Becky is absolutely a joke.

Becky Lynch needs to be in here.

It's her opinion, but damn how do you leave off Becky… I get Charlotte because she is overpushed, but Becky was legitimately the first female to be the top face of the company for a time period.

One of them even hails this act as pretty disrespectful to her.
Becky Lynch needs to be in here.

Some fans also think it’s a mere joke to exclude Charlotte Flair from the list as well. The current SmackDown Women’s Champion is kind of the epitome of women’s wrestling in WWE and her contribution to the business over the years is evident. Some netizens think Sasha Banks and Bayley aren’t even close to her level.
To exclude Charlotte is purely out of spite of not including her lol it’s crazy how people just try so hard to exclude her, when she is LITERALLY undeniably the GOAT of Women’s wrestling.

If you’re unbiased – any womens Mt Rushmore that doesn’t have Charlotte Flair on it is nul and void.

Charlotte and Becky have done way more monumental things than the four combined.

Becky and Charlotte over Sasha and Bayley

You're taking Becky and Charlotte over all of them any day of the week tbh.

A few of them also criticized the former Hall of Famer for putting herself on the list as it seemed a bit arrogant to them.
Wow, one of the first I’ve seen actually name themselves as a part of a Mount Rushmore.

However, regardless of what the fans have to say, choices can always vary from person to person. So it makes perfect sense for Stratus to bring out her favorites.
Trish Stratus Post WrestleMania 39 plan revealed
After retiring from the business in 2006, the 7th time WWE Women’s Champion made her unexpected return earlier this year and is now set to wrestle at the ‘Show of Shows’ this year. While there are still no words on whether she will continue to associate with WWE regularly or not, it seems like there are a fair amount of hints regarding that.
Addressing the rumors of her wrestling frequently after WrestleMania, the 47-year-old mentioned that, for now, she has other priorities in life, so, a full-time tenure is not her thing at this moment. However, she also didn’t rule out the chances of being a bit more regular with her presence, at least.

In a one-on-one interview with SHAK Wrestling, she noted, ‘It’s definitely not a full-time. I can’t do this as a full-time job right now because there’re other jobs as well, but I mean, let’s get to WrestleMania and see what happens.’
Stratus is even rumored to face Becky Lynch on the SummerSlam. However, for now, all our attention hovers around the biggest wrestling show on the earth, which will take place at SoFi stadium in Inglewood, California on April 1 and 2.
