Zoey Stark Reveals Her Role was Hand-Picked by Trish Stratus – The partnership between Zoey Stark and WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus came to a close at Payback, and it has been reported that Stark’s role was personally selected by Stratus.
In an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Zoey Stark reflected on her valuable learning experience while working alongside the WWE veteran Trish Stratus over the past three months. The partnership provided Stark with an opportunity to glean insights and knowledge from Stratus, contributing to her growth as a wrestler.
“She’s helped me grow my game,” Stark said. “Trish is so smart. Her knowledge of small details and how to project those, that separates from everyone else. When I see Trish wrestle, it all just makes so much sense.”
It was revealed that Stratus wanted Stark to be the one to play the role of her muscle on the RAW brand. Stark recalled finding about the program while shopping with her husband Tom Howard, who wrestled as Green Beret in Japan.
“Trish is so sweet,” Stark continued. “She’s a genuinely nice person and she wants to help. I still remember finding out I’d be working with her. I’d just worked out with my husband, and we were going to Whole Foods–and that’s when I got the call. My heart stopped when I found out I’d work with Trish. It’s the opportunity I had been working for. My husband was next to me, and he threw his hands in the air. We were extremely happy.”
Stark came up short against Shayna Baszler on this week’s RAW. Despite her loss, Zoey has garnered widespread praise within WWE, earning accolades from both her fellow talent and backstage personnel for her outstanding contributions to the main roster.
