[2005-04-03-WWE Wrestlemania XXI] Christy Hemme vs Trish Stratus

[cactus]

Even though it's built up around a Playboy shoot, it's good to see that the feud for the Women's title actually get some time to develop. Lita being in Hemme's corner to couch her was a nice touch. Trish is a heel and she's great in her role, but even she can't get something worthwhile out of an extremely green and clumsy Christy Hemme. With this being her second non-T&A match, Hemme was not ready for this spot and it shows big time. Hemme puts Trish in a pinning clutch and isn't able to release Trish in time, so the referee has to awkwardly stop counting. Trish lands a Chick Kick to retain, but both her and Lita looked shoot-annoyed once this one wrapped up.
