Ivory shared that The Rock asked her if she “got a boyfriend.” Lisa Moretti said that she answered “yeah,” and instantly regretted what she said. She further explained, “But you know that’s what happens when you’re just a little older, you’re like, ‘yeah, I have a boyfriend at home.’”

Things took a different turn after Stratus thanked the Jungle Cruise star for saving her on Smackdown with a peck on his cheek.
After which he went ahead and kissed her. Although the two of them never grew any romantic relationship, the moment became memorable for WWE fans. Trish Stratus went on to win seven Women’s Champion and ended her wrestling career in 2006 after defeating her nemesis Lita in a title match.
