Trish Stratus Speaks Out On The 'Diva' Term In WWE, 'I Refused To Say It'

During a recent interview with Renee Paquette on her Oral Sessions podcast, former multi-time WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus discussed her thoughts on the label Diva and why she felt it never fit her.

"I never uttered the word ‘Diva.’ I refused to say it because I didn’t get it. I enjoyed in the beginning that we were all called superstars. Then when the Diva thing happened. As a tomboy the term Diva I’m like no, I don’t qualify. What they were calling Diva, I’m not that at all. So I was never behind that term at all. When they got rid of it, it’s like the six-pack challenge with a restart. Let’s get back to business here. The title just is what it is, the girls are still doing the work and paving the way for women everywhere. Not to diminish it but there is that connotation everywhere."
