WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus was pleased to see Bayley get her proverbial flowers as part of the second night of WWE WrestleMania 40.
At WWE WrestleMania 40: Sunday, Bayley captured the WWE Women’s Championship from IYO SKY in a moment of payback for the Role Model on her former ally. The match marked Bayley’s first championship victory at WrestleMania and her first singles match at the event.
Taking to Twitter, Stratus reflected on her time at WrestleMania and called Bayley’s victory a highlight of the night for her. Trish added that no one deserved the spot or the adulation of the crowd more than the Role Model and was pleased that Bayley and IYO SKY “crushed it” on WWE’s grandest stage.
What a night!! What a weekend!! It was wild to see Lincoln Financial Field absolutely lose their mind at the end of the show. Even wilder to think that was a typical Monday night back in my day! Awesome stuff!
Highlight of the night was being there for @itsBayleyWWE’s moment.… pic.twitter.com/aVxfYAX7iB

Trish Stratus And Bayley
Stratus and Bayley were on opposite ends of a six-woman tag-team match at WrestleMania 39. The match saw Stratus team with then-WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Lita & Becky Lynch to defeat Bayley, SKY, and Dakota Kai.
This isn’t the first time that the new WWE Women’s Champion has earned props from Status, a seven-time Women’s Champion in her own right. During a 2023 interview with SHAK Wrestling, Stratus put Bayley on her Mt. Rushmore of women’s wrestling, alongside herself, Lita, and All Elite Wrestling’s Mercedes Mone
In the build to the WrestleMania 39 match, Bayley shared her appreciation for Stratus and Lita coming back after having legendary careers on an episode of the Masked Man Show.
“They came back and they agreed to face us, which I think is a huge compliment and just something that we shouldn’t take for granted.”
