5) Trish Stratus vs Victoria
When Victoria made her debut with the WWE, they played up a backstory between her and Trish Stratus. Then claiming she was betrayed by Stratus when they both used to work as fitness models. The two competed in several title matches, with Stratus retaining until Survivor Series where Victoria won the belt in a Hardcore match. On March 17, 2003, Victoria and Steven Richards defeated Jazz and Stratus in tag team competition when Jazz walked out on Stratus. After the match, Jeff Hardy saved Stratus from an attack by Victoria and Richards and then kissed her. Stratus became Hardy’s on-screen girlfriend once more. The two would talk and kiss backstage, compete as an intergender tag team, and come to each other’s aid when in danger during singles competition. At no point was their previous relationship acknowledged. The storyline was suddenly dropped when WWE released Hardy in April. This marked the second time in two years that a romance between Stratus and Hardy was abruptly scrapped due to a setback in one of their personal lives. In neither instance did the angle fully play out or reach a conclusion. The feud between Stratus and Victoria was also lost in the midst of all the other storylines, and backstage drama. But the two had some of the most intense and best received divas matches at the time.
