After a backstage segment featuring Trish and Ashley and an unwelcome interruption from Mae Young, the girls made their way to the ring. The match was to be a handicap, three-on-two bra and panties match, pitting Trish and Ashley against Torrie, Candice Michelle and Victoria. Early in the match Trish was knocked to the ring apron, allowing the three opposing divas to strip Ashley down to her bra. Soon pants and tops would be flying around the ring. Sadly though Trish never lost any item of clothing, and only came close when Victoria revealed Trish's thong whilst attempting to counter the Stratusphere. Eventually the match ended with Trish and Ashley stripping Torrie of her pants to win the match.

Tonight on RAW Trish took on Victoria in one-on-one action for the Women's Title. It seemed at one stage that Trish would lose her title as Victoria pushed home her attack and put Trish in a punishing Boston crab. But Trish proved why she was the champion through coming back and pinning Victoria for the win.

After the match however, Victoria capitalised upon Trish's weary state and launched a post-match attack. Ashley tried to come to her aid but was also taken out by Victoria. When all seemed lost, a mysterious woman made her way to the ring, viciously taking Victoria out and then returned the Women's Title to its rightful owner.

Backstage we learnt that the mystery lady (Real name: Mikki James AKA Alexis Laree) was a long term fan of Trish's who had felt slightly dejected because Trish had never returned her emails.

It'll be interesting to see where Mikki's allegiance lies in the future.

A six-Diva tag match was scheduled pitting the team of Trish, Mickie and Ashley against Candice, Torrie and Victoria. The match got underway with Trish and Victoria in the ring. Trish delivered a headscissors takedown and then made the tag to Mickie. Mickie went straight to the top rope and took Victoria down a flying cross-body. With Victoria down, she slid out of the ring and pulled both Torrie's and Candice's feet off the apron so they dropped to the mat. She slid back in but fell foul of a stiff clothesline from Victoria followed by a backbreaker. Mickie made a valiant comeback with a hurricanrana, and then looked to Trish for approval. This allowed Victoria to get a sneaky roll-up giving her team the win. Mickie was angry at the loss and tried to apologise by delivering a stiff kick to Victoria's midriff followed by a Stratusfaction bulldog.

Trish and Ashley accompanied Mickie James out to the ring for her first one-on-one match against Victoria, who was escorted to the ring by Torrie and Candice Michelle. The match between the two was very respectable, and definitely a good sign for things to come. Victoria looked ready to slam Mickie into the mat with a brainbuster, but Mickie reversed it into a cradle pin. Torrie then tried to distract the referee and a brief tussle ensued where Victoria was then put on top in the pin, and then they were rolled back so Mickie was on top to secure the win. After the match had ended, Torrie, Victoria and Candice tried to attack Mickie's winning team, but found themselves easily outmatched. Interestingly, Candice applied quite a complex-looking submission hold to Ashley during this time. It'll be well worth keeping an eye on Candice's in-ring skills in future to see if she's attempting to make any attempt to further herself as a wrestler.

On RAW, we were treated to a Divas Halloween costume contest. Ashley dressed as a dark angel, Maria as a 'Victoria's Secret' angel, Candice as an awesome Cat Woman, Victoria as a baseball player, Mickie James as her idol Trish Stratus, and the real Miss Stratus as Wonder Woman. The King tried to get the fans to vote for their favourite Diva, but found himself interrupted by Mickie who told them all to vote solely for Trish. Victoria took offence and a scuffle broke out between the two. In the ensuing melee, Victoria was first thrown out of the ring, then the other Divas teamed up against Candice to toss her around, then Mickie was thrown out of the ring by Victoria, who was then floored by Trish with a Chick Kick. After that, Maria, Ashley, Mickie and Trish all celebrated in the ring whilst Candice and Victoria slunk to the back.
