December

5th December 2005		Mickie James came to the ring accompanied by Trish Stratus to take on Victoria in singles action. The match seemed to be a pretty even contest until Torrie Wilson and Candice Michelle took a part in the proceedings. They were able to distract the ref long enough, despite Trish's best efforts to stop them, to allow Victoria to take Mickie by surprise and get the roll-up for the win. After the match, Mickie stared disappointedly at Trish, clearly blaming her for her loss. However, she soon recovered from her rejected state and left the ring with Trish by her side.
12th December 2005		For the second week running Mickie James took on Victoria in singles action. This time however, the result of the match would also determine who would become the #1 Contender for the Women's Title. Trish joined Joey Styles, Coach and the King at ringside to provide some colour commentary. As the match progressed it looked like Mickie might lose out as Victoria locked in a submission move. However, Mickie was able to escape and then went on to secure the win by delivering a devasting DDT to Victoria. Soon afterwards, Mickie jumped to her feet in celebration and pointed directly at Trish suggesting that she would be next on her hit list. Later on in the evening Trish joined Mickie in the ring to celebrate, but it was clear that Trish was not looking forward to the encounter between the two at the next PPV.
19th December 2005		This week's edition of RAW came from Afghanistan as the WWE superstars entertained the American troops stationed over there. Trish teamed up with Ashley to take on the team of Candice Michelle and Maria. Candice managed to pick the win up against Ashley, but the result hardly mattered as all the Divas looked great!
26th December 2005		This week on RAW, Trish was involved in a short but weird segment with Mickie James backstage. Trish walked in on Mickie decorating their lockers with Christmas decorations, who then proceeded to go on about how she would be facing Trish for the title. Trish reminded Mickie that they might be friends, but she would do anything to defend her title. At which point, Mickie pointed out the mistletoe above Trish's head and gave her a full-on kiss. Unsurprisingly, Trish was somewhat shocked by the events and beat a hasty retreat.
