In one episode of RAW (September 2020), Mandy Rose paid tribute to Stratus by wearing a pink gear identical to an attire worn by Stratus in early 2000s. She later cited Stratus as her role model. She added; "She's always been my inspiration, and still to this day is." Zelina Vega asserted that Stratus and Lita have inspired her of becoming a wrestler. Stratus's feud with Mickie James in 2006 has been an inspiration to Sasha Banks's rivalry with Bayley. Banks has cited Stratus is the one performer from the past she most wants to wrestle. Banks added, "It's going to be Trish Stratus because she was just the top of the women's division of her time. She was just the best, she was beautiful, she was athletic, and she killed it, and inspired me." Jerry Lawler called Stratus his all time favorite female superstar. Booker T in one interview has cited Stratus as the best of all time for women's wrestling while adding "She was the one that broke that barrier more than any other woman on the roster."
