WWE legend Trish Stratus reveals husband’s reaction to her kissing The Rock

WWE legend Trish Stratus has revealed her husband’s amazing reaction when she kissed Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

Back in 2001, the former Women’s Champion – who married childhood sweetheart Ron Fisico in 2006 after 14 years together – found out she had to lock lips with The Rock himself, and her man took it in his stride.

Speaking to Renee Paquette on the Oral Sessions podcast, she explained the impact their wrestling fandom had and said: ‘Forget that I was going to end up being a wrestler, he was a wrestling fan.

‘So, we related. We were around that – remember, Toronto was like a hotbed for wrestling when we were children. When we started dating, and you probably know this, there weren’t many females that liked wrestling, or maybe said they didn’t.

‘So, the fact that I liked wrestling, we’d take trips I’ll never forget. We’d drive to Florida and we’d base it around going to an event, like we went to a WCW Nitro.

‘Like it was part of our trip thing. So, we always related from the very beginning on stuff.

‘And then we had our high school connection, and when we went to university I wanted to become a doctor. So, I was like laser-focused on what I was doing, and he was laser-focused on doing his own thing with his business.’

The loved up couple were keen to ‘establish’ themselves separately, and not long after the chance to become a wrester came up when her modelling work caught WWE’s eye – and they signed her up in 1999.

‘We wanted to establish ourselves as separate entities in our rights. And then the wrestling thing came up. So, I had to make the transition from school full time to my fitness career and then to wrestling,’ she explained.

‘And so I always say, because Ron and I were fans for so long, he gives me that insight. He gets the business.

‘I went, “I have to kiss The Rock tonight.” He’s like, “Cool. That’s going to be great for your character.” Amazing, right? As opposed to what maybe another husband might say.’

Trish – who has two kids with Ron – certainly left her mark on the world of WWE.

A seven-time Women’s Champion, the iconic star also held the Hardcore Title and – having inspired the likes of Alexa Bliss, Deonna Purrazzo and Bayley – was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2013.
