WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus returning for  Canada’s Got Talent season two

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Trish Stratus is returning to Citytv’s Canada’s Got Talent for season two of the series. 

Stratus has announced that she will again serve as a judge for the Simon Cowell-produced show, which will begin filming its second season next month. 

“I’m looking forward jumping back into the judges’ chair and taking in the awe-inspiring moments Canada brings of our second season,” Stratus said in a statement on her website.  

Howie Mandell, Lilly Singh, and Kardinal Offishall are set to return as judges for season two as well, and Lindsey Ell will also return as host as the show will retain both its host and judging panel from season one. 

After a one-off season in 2012, Canada’s Got Talent was revived for Citytv in 2022, and the series was Citytv’s most-watched original series in more than ten years, according to Stratus’s website. 

Stratus is currently recovering from surgery to remove her appendix. 

Inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013, Stratus is a seven-time Women’s Champion, and made appearances for WWE both on house shows and on an episode of Raw last month. 

In July of this year, Stratus received the Lou Thesz Award as she was inducted into the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame in Waterloo, Iowa.

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus is set to serve as a judge for the Canada’s Got Talent series revival on Citytv in Spring 2022. 

After a hiatus of more than nine years, the Simon Cowell-created and produced show is returning to Canadian television, though no official premiere date has been announced.

Stratus joins a lineup of judges that include America’s Got Talent judge Howie Mandel, YouTube personality and former NBC talk show host Lilly Singh, plus musician Kardinal Offishall. 

Stratus announced her new role on social media. In a video on her website, Stratus expressed her excitement about joining the franchise. 

“I’m so excited to be joining this iconic brand and seeing the incredible talent Canada has to offer,” said Stratus. “And of course, when I spot it, dropping that elbow on The Golden Buzzer!”

Canada’s Got Talent originally aired for one season on Citytv in 2012. Since America’s Got Talent debuted in 2006, the Got Talent television franchise has been sold in 75 territories around the world, according to Deadline.

Stratus is a member of the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2013. She will be inducted into the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame in Waterloo, Iowa in July 2022 after travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic postponed her scheduled induction in both 2020 and 2021.
