Ashley & Trish Stratus vs. Candice Michelle & Victoria 01/23/06

May 17, 2019May 17, 2019 by Nick

This week for Free Match Friday, the Diva-Dirt staff wants to pay tribute to Ashley Massaro.

In this tag team match from early 2006, Trish Stratus was helping out the 2005 Diva Search winner. Stratus chose to team up with her against Candice Michelle and Victoria. Ashley was able to pick up the win for her team. She hit a high cross body off the top turnbuckle and came crashing down on Victoria for the pinfall victory.

This decision by Stratus to team with Ashley made Mickie James jealous and attacked Ashley after the match. James was infatuated with Stratus at the time and didn’t condone the attention Ashley was receiving.
