During an interview on Under The Ring, she said, “Every match that we had, it escalated to the next level… The rivalry that we have, it’s real… Now that I have the title and I took the title from her, is something that is going to end.”
“I think this is like The Rock and Stone Cold [Steve Austin], something similar, or Trish and Lita. Something of that sort. It’s just like I feel like this is never gonna end.”
Austin and The Rock squared off against each other multiple times. They even shared the ring more than once at The Grandest Stage of Them All (WrestleMania 15, WrestleMania 17, and WrestleMania XIX).
