Patricia Anne Stratigias (born December 18, 1975 in Richmond Hill, Ontario), better known by her stage name, Trish Stratus, is a Canadian fitness model and professional wrestler, working for World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW brand. She is the brand's current Women's Champion.

Stratus is marketed as the first woman in WWE history to have held the Women's Championship six times, more than the four title reigns of The Fabulous Moolah in which WWE recognizes. Stratus's ability as an in-ring performer has evolved over the years and she is generally seen as one of the best women professional wrestlers in the business.

As a fitness model, she has been featured on the cover of many major health and fitness magazines such as Musclemag, Flare and Total Women's Fitness. She also released a popular calendar series called "Dream Team" with fellow model, Stacey Lynn. As a sports entertainer, she was proclaimed the WWE Diva of the Decade on RAW's 10th Anniversary show, indicating her position as one of professional wrestling's most influential women. She was voted as the three-time WWE Babe of the Year for 2001 through 2003, but was defeated by Stacy Keibler in the 2004 competition.

In 1997, with the World Wrestling Federation experiencing a change in "Attitude"--rougher-edged characters like Stone Cold Steve Austin replacing the clean-cut heroes of yore like Bret Hart--Patricia Anne Stratigias was a student at York University in Toronto, majoring in biology and kinesiology in hopes of reaching her goal of attending medical school. However, York University went on strike, leaving Stratigias with no other choice at that time but to pursue other career options. After accepting a job at a local gym, Stratigias found herself responding to the urging of her peers there and became a fitness model. Under the stage name of Trish Stratus, Stratigias quickly risen as one of the most popular models in the fitness industry, having appeared on over twenty fitness magazine covers around the world. At one point, she also co-hosted a Canadian pro-wrestling talk show called Live Audio Wrestling. This caught the attention of the WWF, whose agents told Stratus that if she felt she had more to her than her looks alone, then she should start training for a wrestling career. Soon afterward, Stratus began her training at the gym of Ron Hutchinson, the same facility where Superstars like Edge and Christian had also trained for the ring. The WWF again had contacted her in late-1999, and this time, Stratus was ready to start her career in sports-entertainment, having been a fan since her childhood. Growing up, Stratus idolized Hulk Hogan, and also had siblings and relatives who helped increase her interest in sports entertainment.
