Trish Stratus and Melina only faced off a few times on WWE TV, and Stratus wishes they could have worked together more. Stratus and Melina only battled four times on WWE TV, including a singles match on the July 10th, 2006 episode of WWE Raw. That was one of only two singles TV matches between the two.

Stratus spoke with Knockouts and 3 Counts at the Autorama car show in Detroit, Michigan. She was asked about her favorite Detroit memories and recalled a bout with against Melina and Miz & Morrison. She noted that she had good chemistry with Melina and wished they could have worked together more. You can see highlights below:

On the Women’s Division Now:

“Honestly, it’s everything we could have wished for. If we would go back and think about what we what we want out of this business, or what we’d love to project it for the future, this is exactly it. I like to say that like the girls, the work we did — the Jazzes, the Victorias, the Mickies — we sort of lay the foundation, but these girls have built a huge sized skyscraper on it. So to see what they’re doing now and just having the same opportunities as the men is really incredible.”

On Her Favorite Detroit Memories:

“Actually, I had a match with M&M and Molina, and that was kind of fun. Her and I just barely — we had this match. it was really great chemistry. Wish that kind of went further, but that was what we did.

“And then I do remember certain — not a great memory, I have to say. Cobalt Hall, we were in Cobalt Hall. Saturday Night’s Main Event. Mickie James, Chick Kick to the head, I think. Or maybe it was Stratusfaction. Whatever it was, she did my move on me and left me laying. So you know, we’ll never forget these things.”
