25 Greatest Superstars In WWE Raw History

9. Trish Stratus

A vital component in manufacturing renewed appeal when WWE made a concerted effort to improve their Women's Division at the tail-end of the Attitude Era, the work Trish Stratus put into improving herself was visible on a weekly basis.

Worthy of the multiple and lengthy Women's Title reigns she received, Stratus got better and better and better at every aspect of the job, morphing from model valet to charismatic siren to credible workhorse. Her finest moments almost all subsequently came on the flagship show.

The 'Athletic Ten' Vince McMahon was almost certainly thinking about when he ordered John Laurinaitis to go and find some more, her place in Raw history was assured by separate main events opposite Lita in July 2000 and December 2004. Even by the standards of today's Women's division, she's thoroughly deserving of those places in history.
