Trish Stratus' mother passes away

2025 will leave a bittersweet memory in the mind of Trish Stratus. The WWE Hall of Famer has had a prominent role in the company's television programming, competing in three PLEs, including the second edition of Evolution, the women-exclusive event. However, some bad news has just shaken her world.

Through her Instagram account, Trish shared some sad news: her mother, Alice Stratigeas, passed away last week. Alice was a vital figure for Stratus, becoming one of her main supports throughout her entire career as a professional wrestler, as well as a beloved grandmother to her children. The former WWE Women's Champion wanted to bid farewell to her mother with an emotional message.

"My mom is gone. I don't even know how to write this... she passed away last week and I haven't been able to find the words. It's as if writing it down makes it more real that my best friend, my safe place, my confidante, the one who was there for every moment of my life, supporting me in a way no one else could -through every achievement, every heartbreak, every joy- is no longer here. She was always there, and now she won't be.

Everyone saw her by my side -cheering me on from the crowd, accompanying me on my travels, exceeding all expectations as a grandmother- practically a second mother to my children. My kids only know a life where their Nana was always present. Explaining to them that she won't be here anymore has been one of the hardest things I've had to do.

She fought so many battles throughout her life with a strength that amazed me, and even on her toughest days, she always thought of others first. That was my mom: generous, brave, and full of love.

My heart feels broken in a way I can't describe. Life will never feel the same again. I can't imagine my world without her... without being able to pick up the phone to hear her voice, her advice, her laughter. People say time heals, but right now I feel like a part of me will be missing forever, and I will never feel whole again.

My only comfort is that I will carry her with me in everything I do, and mom, I promise you that your grandchildren will never forget the incredible woman their Nana was.

Thank you for loving me so fiercely, for shaping me into who I am, and for showing me what it means to be resilient. You are, literally, my fighting spirit, and damn, how I will miss you!", Stratus wrote.
