It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And over the next few days, we’re going to be reliving some of the goodies that TNA and WWE have put under our Christmas trees! Looking back at the Christmas themed matches we’ve seen the Divas and Knockouts involved in, the DD team will each be picking their favourite Christmas themed match and sharing with you over the next few days!
Today’s pick is from Tiffany: Given my short memory, Trish Stratus’ ‘surprise’ return to Raw last December sticks out in my mind as très memorable. It was moreso the immediate shock of “OMG, it’s Trish Stratus” that cements this as a Christmas classic, than the match itself. Though, seeing Beth and Trish go at it was a holiday treat, and Trish showed little to no ring rust whatsoever. Of course, the appeal has worn off now that Trish has graced us with her wondrous presence yet again this year. But hey, it was certainly awesome at the time. Not many Divas can elicit that type of response having been dormant for some odd years. The maniacal laugh still gives me chills… not even going to lie.
Watch below:
Share your memories of this match in the comments, or if you’ve just watched it for the first time, tell us what you think too!

I liked this match, and I agree that she wasn’t showing any ring rust! She looked great and so did Beth!
I remember that.I knew that Trish was going to be at Raw and wrestle that night so it wasn’t a surprise but I liked it…And I like the couple of Trish+John so that was pretty nice…:)
Oh how i wish Trish would come back full time! I believe she, along with a few others, could really put the divas division back on top.
Gotta love Trish!
I think the retired Divas just need to stay retired,it’s time for the new generation to shine!(Even though they suck)
I agree that the retired Divas need to just enjoy their retirement (or wrestle where they’d be appreciated). At WWE’s current pace, seems they wouldn’t know what to do with them anyway.
I think Trish is smart, in the sense that she rarely returns, but when she does, she does it at a good time.
its strange how Trish seemed to have no ring rust
wasn’t this the match where cena got a bit um ‘excited’ to see Trish,
or maybe he was happy to see santino lol
I remember this and I was really excited to see her back.
