– Stephanie McMahon and Torrie Wilson posted to social media to comment on tonight’s Smackdown 1000:

I can’t believe SmackDown Live is celebrating its 1,000th episode tonight at @CapitalOneArena! It feels like just yesterday @VinceMcMahon was announcing me as the SD General Manager & my first order of business was kicking #EricBischoff out of the building! #SD1000 pic.twitter.com/uCaTQqcDOo

. Today marks the 1000th episode of WWE SmackDown! . I spent nearly a DECADE performing on this show, traveling nearly 300 days a year allll over the world & performing for millions. To say it’s been a huge piece of my life is an understatement. . The memories I have made & the love I hold for wrestling fans will forever be etched in my heart.❤️ . I gotta say, being part of #Evolution probably means more to me than most. If you’ve seen how many “athletic” bikini matches I’ve won you would understand why.😇 . Here’s to another 1,000 episodes! . PS. To all of my wrestling loves about to ask when I’m coming back..I love my life now too…helping ppl find their most confident BADASS self. . But yes, I’ll still be bringing BADASS to Evolution. 😋 . #Fittensity #wwe #smackdown #smackdown1000 #KeepGettingBetter ✌🏽
