WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus released a lengthy statement on Instagram last night reflecting on her final matchup from SummerSlam one week ago. In her post, Stratus calls Charlotte Flair one of the best of the era, and considered her loss to the Queen a passing of the torch moment. She also states how excited she is to watch the current roster take the women’s division to new heights.

One week ago I stepped into the ring for what at first was my comeback match… but slowly realized was my farewell match, a passing of the proverbial torch if you will. It was an honour and a privilege to step into the ring with @charlottewwe, one of the very best of her era, a total pro. Feeling immense gratitude to the current roster of woman who allowed me to dip my toes into their current waters. In the beginning of my career, I set out to knock down the preconceived notion of what a female could do in this male oriented business and the current roster of ladies represent everything we dreamed of. If we laid the platform, you all have built a friggin skyscraper and we all couldn’t be prouder!

And now I get to sit back and watch my girls (tagged #smackdownlive) continue to take the women’s division to new heights.
