Trish Stratus is a WWE Hall of Famer and a former seven-time Women's Champion, but when the star made the decision to retire from WWE back in 2006, the match didn't exactly go to plan thanks to a botch before the bell even rang.

Stratus had the perfect farewell in her hometown inside the Air Canada Center against her long-time friend and rival Lita. She was even able to capture the Women's Championship, before vacating the title mere minutes later.

Whilst this seemed like the perfect curtain call to a career, Stratus recently opened up about a huge botch she made that overshadowed the match.

“At my epic retirement match, I was at the Air Canada Centre in front of a hometown crowd. The crowd was going crazy for me. It was my final moment. I was walking down the ramp to the ring, I go up the stairs — and then I tumble. I didn’t tumble off the ramp and I’m like ‘okay, I’m fine.’ Why do we do that when we tumble? We’re like ‘I’m good, who saw that? Who didn’t see it?’ [laughs] Thanks to WWE, it is maybe erased from some fans’ memories. I went on to have a great match [with Lita]. Hopefully, they remember that part instead.”

Stratus was making her way up the ring steps when she tripped and almost fell. The botch wasn't completely noticeable but has obviously been on Stratus' mind over the past 15 years.
