- In a recent interview conducted by SLAM! Wrestling, former WWE Women's
champion Trish Stratus revealed that she would love to be able to
participate at WrestleMania XXV although no one from the company contacted
her about it yet. "I would definitely like the chance to finish off what I
started with Beth in a one-on-one scenario. No tagging out, no Santino
shenanigans, just one dominant female against the other." Trish made a one
time appearance a couple of weeks ago when RAW rolled into Toronto and
teamed up with John Cena to take on Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella.
