Christian Cage and Trish Stratus changed their appearance when they became a couple together. Fans were used to Christians who still had short hair, but it made them better search for a single run to separate him from the edge connections.
The Stratus has always been considered one of the most impressive looks on the women’s roster. The heeled couple got over after Trish betrayed Jericho when both performers were undoubtedly the most physically suited in the industry.
