Hanging up her boots with one last match at SummerSlam last year, Trish is still considered a lodestar for many current women Superstars. Although fans have witnessed a great match against Charlotte Flair, there are many potential dream bout that will never happen. Let's take a look at ten Trish Stratus dream matches that the fans would never see.
10 Rhea Ripley
The most promising talent on the black and yellow brand, Rhea Ripley, who is a former NXT Women's Champion, has the characteristics to be a huge star on the main roster. The Australian Superstar is extremely athletic combined with unimaginable raw power.
The fans would have loved seeing the future collide with the past. It would have been a perfect way to put over someone like Rhea Ripley, who has already done some incredible things in WWE, including at Survivor Series last year.
9 Paige
Paige had a short career in WWE, but she quickly became a big star, winning the Divas Title on the first night of her main roster career. Besides being a two-time Divas Champion, she also held the NXT Women's Champion once.
Paige made her debut on the main roster at a time when Trish Stratus wasn't active anymore, and hence, they never got the opportunity to cross paths in the ring.
8 Mandy Rose
Mandy Rose had a similar career path like the former seven-time Women's Champion. Trish and Mandy both were fitness competitors before deciding to become professional wrestlers. As a matter of fact, Mandy was always compared to Trish Stratus due to uncanny physical resemblances with the latter.

With that being said, Mandy Rose would have been a dream opponent for Trish Stratus. Perhaps they would not have an astounding match, but the build-up would have been captivating.
7 AJ Lee
Had the greatest Divas Champion collided with one the greatest Women's Champions, it would have been a colossal draw, making it a fantasy match for the fans. AJ Lee's charisma and dexterity made her a fan favorite, and she was a pioneer to women's revolution in WWE.
A match between AJ Lee and Trish would have been a fast-paced bout, considering how swift the former was in between ropes. It would be hard to pick a winner from this encounter.
6 Asuka
Imagine one of the dominant names from NXT and main roster going toe-to-toe with one of the legendary names to grace the WWE ring. Asuka, a grand slam champion, would have been a stupendous opponent for the former Women's Champion.
Trish Stratus didn't have any notable opponent in her heyday with a Japanese wrestling background. Given Asuka's recent momentum, she wouldn't have found it difficult to pick up the win.
5 Alexa Bliss
Even though Trish Stratus and Alexa Bliss were supposed to face off in a match at Evolution, they never got the chance to due to an injury to Bliss. Instead, Trish teamed up with her friend Lita, to take on Alicia Fox and Mickie James in a women's tag team match.
Alexa Bliss mentioned before that she looked up to Trish Stratus while growing up, so it would be a dream for her as well as for the fans to have the singles match.
4 Bayley
Bayley, the current SmackDown Women's Champion and the Women's Tag Team Champion, has been a leading name of the blue brand for quite a while. Being a horsewoman of WWE, she has lived up to her name in recent years, proving to be the most potent women's champion on SmackDown.
Whether as a heel or as the face, Bayley would have been a perfect rival for Trish Stratus. The bout would be filled with some effective maneuvers from both women.
3 Sasha Banks
Before facing Charlotte Flair at the Biggest Party of the Summer, Trish Stratus was rumored to go against Sasha Banks. Nevertheless, WWE went with Charlotte Flair eventually. As Trish Stratus herself wanted to wrestle The Boss at SummerSlam, it would have been an absolute dream feud for a myriad of fans.

Banks is an excellent performer, and she would have delivered an outstanding match against someone like Trish Stratus.
2 Becky Lynch
Emerging as the biggest name of the women's division in the past couple of years, Becky Lynch had taken her stature to new heights. She held the Raw Women's Championship 398 days, a record-breaking championship reign, and she also main evented the "Grandest Stage of Them All" at WrestleMania 35.
In all honesty, the match between Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus would have created more hype than the match with Charlotte. Knowing Lynch's undefeated run in the past year, she would have prevailed.
1 Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey was one of the primary reasons why WWE created an all-women pay-per-view and the ladies headlined WrestleMania. Having conquered UFC, the Baddest Woman on the Planet made the same impact in WWE.
The dream match between Trish Stratus and Ronda Rousey would have been one of the biggest drawing women's matches in women's history. Trish's age could have been a big obstacle against an elite athlete like Rousey, and hence, the latter would have picked up the win.
