The only rivalry which came close to the one between Stone Cold and The Rock was between Trish Stratus and Lita. The rivalry between the two women wrestlers stretched for almost 6 years and produced some excellent matches.

However, their Women's Championship match on the December 6, 2004 episode of WWE RAW still remains one of the best. This was the second time in WWE history that a title was being defended in the main event of RAW. Fans still think that this match should have happened in a PPV rather than a brand show as the match was filled with incredible moments and high-flying moves.

The feud continued and on December 6, 2004, Lita defeated Stratus in the main event of RAW to win her second WWE Women's Championship.
