10 Things You Didn't Know About Trish Stratus

5. She Is The Longest Reigning Champion Of The New Millennium

The longest of Trish's seven Women's Championship reigns saw her keep hold of the title for a whopping 448-days. Forget your CM Punk WWE World Championship records, this clearly sets Stratus aside as the longest reigning WWE Champion of the new millennium. 448 days is a long time, some 64 weeks in fact.

Of course, this fact comes with one heck of a caveat. Trish was injured for a whole five months of this reign, throughout the middle of 2005. It was a herniated disc that put her out, and the division was so poorly stacked at the time that the decision was made just to keep the title on her.

When Trish returned in September 2005, she was soon followed by a debuting Mickie James. Mickie was introduced as a Trish super-fan, and would eventually dethrone the champion at WrestleMania 22.
