Trish Stratus inducted into WWE HOF + announces pregnancy!

Trish Stratus is one of the newest WWE Hall of Famers, but this fall, the first-ever Diva of the Decade will add yet another honor to her list of accolades: motherhood.

“I just wanted to let you all know that in September, I’ll be delivering a little Stratusfaction,” an ecstatic Trish announced to the WWE Universe, which responded with overwhelming approval for the mother-to-be.

“It was awesome,” Trish told WWE.com moments after her bombshell announcement. “As a public personality, you wonder what’s the right time to tell everybody. Of course, when I got the news I would be inducted this year, I definitely found out I was pregnant, and so I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ll be four months, I should tell them!’ ”

It was a conversation with a longtime friend who made up Trish’s mind to break the news on her big night.

“Me and Stephanie actually talked about it and thought it would be a great chance to announce it,” Trish said. “It’s my family out there. They’ve been part of my life for so long, the WWE Universe, and to actually share the news with them was wonderful. And the reaction was nice. They like the Stratus baby!”

So, is an in-ring future in the cards for said Stratus baby?

“Whatever he or she would like to do, I will support just as I was supported by my family,” Trish said of a possible heir to her Hall of Fame legacy.

Congratulations, Trish and husband Ron!
