Trish Stratus’ On-Screen Kiss With The Rock—How Her Husband’s Reaction Left Fans Stunned!

In the world of WWE, where storylines blur the lines between reality and entertainment, it’s no surprise that moments of tension, romance, and drama often captivate fans. One of the most memorable and widely discussed moments in WWE history was the unexpected kiss between Trish Stratus and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson during a 2001 WWE Raw episode. The scene sparked rumors, fan excitement, and speculation about whether the two were romantically involved behind the scenes. But what about Trish Stratus’ real-life partner, Ron Fisico, who had been with her for years at that point?

Rather than succumbing to jealousy or frustration, Fisico’s reaction to the kiss was nothing short of supportive. In a 2021 appearance on Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette, Stratus revealed that Fisico had no qualms about her on-screen kiss with The Rock. “He gets the business,” Stratus shared. “I’d go, ‘I have to kiss The Rock tonight.’ He’s like, ‘Cool. That’s going to be great for your character.’ Amazing, right?” Stratus’ story underscores the level of understanding and trust between her and Fisico, highlighting his confidence and support for her career, despite the nature of the storyline.

For those unfamiliar, the kiss occurred when Stratus, who was at the height of her wrestling fame, went backstage to calm her nerves before going on stage. During this moment, Stratus kissed The Rock on the cheek, but the People’s Champion took the opportunity to pull her in for a more passionate kiss, much to the delight (and disappointment) of fans. Despite the on-screen chemistry between the two, the kiss remained purely a storyline, and there was no real-life romance between them.

Stratus and Fisico’s relationship began long before her wrestling career took off. The couple, who had known each other since childhood, began as friends before their bond blossomed into love. They married in 2006 and now have two children together. Fisico’s supportive attitude toward Stratus’ career—especially in dealing with the sometimes complicated and steamy storylines of WWE—speaks volumes about their strong and trusting partnership.

While many might assume that a moment like the kiss with The Rock could lead to tension or jealousy, Stratus’ account reflects how her supportive husband has always had her back. His calm and positive approach to the situation is a refreshing reminder of the strength of their relationship, built on mutual respect and understanding of the entertainment business.

For WWE fans, the kiss between Stratus and The Rock remains a legendary moment in WWE history, but for Stratus and Fisico, it was just another chapter in the unique and ever-evolving world of professional wrestling, where characters and storylines come to life, but personal connections remain strong and unshaken.
