Mickie James vs. Trish Stratus is one of the best feuds that the wrestling business has ever seen featuring female superstars. While one icon, Trish was in the dawn of her career, she passed on the baton to the next top figure of the WWE women’s division through this feud that also churned out a rare Women’s Championship Match in Wrestlemania history.
Eventually, Mickie James, pretending to be the biggest fan of Trish Stratus delivered one of the most popular feuds of the WWE Ruthless Aggression era. It’s been more than 15 years that we have seen that rivalry. However, there could be one last hurray left in both of them that still leaves the hopes alive to see one last dance between them.

Trish Stratus used to be one of the top female superstars during the mid-2000s alongside Lita. It was in 2006 that she headed on a hiatus from in-ring competition to settle into her personal life. It was at the same timespan when Mickie James made her debut as an obsessive fan of Stratus.
This eventually led to a romantic angle between the two superstars and there was a backstage segment when the two even kissed each other under the mistletoe. Gradually, animosity brewed between the two to culminate in a title match at WrestleMania 22 where the two competed in a highly-anticipated showdown.
