Mickie James landed herself in serious hot water with Vince McMahon when she performed an off-the-cuff cunnilingus gesture inside the ring at WrestleMania 22. The WWE leader reprimanded James for her behaviour backstage, and said he wasn't a fan of her snap decision.

Except, it wasn't a snap decision or 'off-the-cuff'.

In an interview with her official website in 2017, Trish admitted that she'd known about Mickie's gesture before they went to the ring for their match. In fact, both had planned it out as a funny little spot that'd suit James' obsessive character. They just didn't think to tell anyone because, "When you give the details of your match, you usually don't include those kinds of idiosyncrasies or mannerisms".

Both Stratus and Mickie had agreed on the gesture beforehand backstage in the Allstate Arena. The only problem was that they hadn't cleared it with McMahon, the agent in charge of their title bout or any other WWE staff members.
