Following her first face turn, Stratus began wrestling part-time. She teamed up with Lita against then-heels, Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson at InVasion. After suffering an ankle injury in the summer, however, she was sidelined for the following three months. This interrupted not only her recent venture into wrestling, but also an on-screen romance with Jeff Hardy and budding storyline with Team Xtreme.{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/archive/trish1|title=Trish looking forward to return|access-date=August 23, 2007|publisher=WWE|first=David|last=Agostino|date=August 29, 2005|archive-date=July 3, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070703054023/http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/archive/trish1|url-status=live}} As she rehabilitated, she kept herself visible by co-hosting Excess on TNN.

Jazz attacked Stratus backstage and broke her hand. Stratus overcame the injury and retained the championship at the Royal Rumble. On the January 22 episode of SmackDown!, Stratus defeated Jazz via disqualification after Jazz relentlessly attacked Stratus's injured hand and left her laid out in the ring. Stratus eventually dropped the championship to Jazz in convincing fashion on the February 4, 2002, episode of Raw.{{cite news|author=Michael McAvennie|title=WWE The Yearbook: 2003 Edition|publisher=Pocket Books|year=2003|page=28}}{{cite news|author=Michael McAvennie|title=WWE The Yearbook: 2003 Edition|publisher=Pocket Books|year=2003|page=42}} Stratus then attempted to regain the title for several months, including competing in a triple threat match at WrestleMania X8 against Lita and Jazz in her hometown of Toronto, but failed to win the match.{{cite news|author=Michael McAvennie|title=WWE The Yearbook: 2003 Edition|publisher=Pocket Books|year=2003|page=73}} While chasing after the Women's Championship, Stratus won the WWE Hardcore Championship on May 6, pinning Crash Holly after Bubba Ray Dudley hit him over the head with a trash can. She lost the title to Steven Richards soon afterward however, due to the stipulation that the belt was to be defended 24/7 as long as there was a referee present.

The two competed in several title matches, the first taking place on the September 30 episode of Raw, which saw Stratus win via disqualification after being knocked unconscious from a chair shot from Victoria. Stratus would again retain the championship against Victoria at No Mercy, before ultimately dropping it at Survivor Series, where Victoria won the title in a Hardcore match.{{cite news|author=Michael McAvennie|title=WWE The Yearbook: 2003 Edition|publisher=Pocket Books|year=2003|page=280}}{{cite news|author=Michael McAvennie|title=WWE The Yearbook: 2003 Edition|publisher=Pocket Books|year=2003|page=313}} Stratus attempted to regain the title from Victoria on the November 25 episode of Raw, but was defeated. Stratus and Victoria took part in the main event of the December 9, 2002, edition of Raw where they were in an intergender Tables match, with Stratus teaming with The Dudley Boyz and Victoria teaming with Chris Jericho and Christian; the match ended in victory for Team Stratus when she Powerbombed Victoria through a table.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}} Stratus once again unsuccessfully challenged for the title at Armageddon in a triple threat match also featuring Jacqueline. On the January 27, 2003, episode of Raw, Stratus was once again unsuccessful in challenging Victoria for the championship, this time in a Chicago street fight. Immediately after this defeat, Stratus was beaten down and destroyed further in a brutal attack by the returning Jazz.

On March 17, 2003, Victoria and Steven Richards defeated Jazz and Stratus in a tag team match when Jazz walked out on Stratus. After the match, Jeff Hardy saved Stratus from an attack by Victoria and Richards and then kissed her, resulting in Stratus becoming Hardy's on-screen girlfriend once more.{{cite web|url=http://rajah.com/wwf/raw/125.php|title=Raw results – March 17, 2003|access-date=August 24, 2007|publisher=Rajah.com|archive-date=June 29, 2012|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120629043102/http://rajah.com/wwf/raw/125.php|url-status=live}} {{unreliable source?|failed=y|date=May 2014}} The two would talk and kiss backstage, compete as an intergender tag team, and come to each other's aid when in danger during singles competition.

This marked the second time in two years that a romance between Stratus and Hardy abruptly ended due to a setback in one of their personal lives. In neither instance did the angle fully play out or reach a conclusion.

At WrestleMania XIX, Stratus ended her feud with Victoria by defeating her and Jazz to capture her fourth Women's Championship. Following WrestleMania XIX, Stratus entered a feud with Jazz following a match on the April 7 episode of Raw where Stratus defeated Jazz while Jazz's foot was on the rope. The following week on Raw, Jazz defeated Stratus cleanly via submission in a tag team match also featuring Ivory and Victoria. On the April 21 episode of Raw, Stratus was forced to team with Spike Dudley in a match against the Dudley Boyz. The match ended in a no contest after Bubba Ray Dudley destroyed Stratus, allowing Jazz to run down to the ring and hit an unconscious Stratus with a Bitchlock on to a table. Stratus would eventually lose the title to Jazz at the pay-per-view, Backlash.{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/superstars/wwealumni/trishstratus/top5/wrestlemaniaxix/|title=WrestleMania XIX – Trish becomes a four-time Women's Champion|access-date=August 24, 2007|publisher=WWE|archive-date=September 8, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070908052721/http://www.wwe.com/superstars/wwealumni/trishstratus/top5/wrestlemaniaxix/|url-status=live}} The Raw after Backlash, Eric Bischoff ordered a No Disqualification match between him and Stratus. If Stratus won, she would get a championship rematch the next week; if Bischoff won, he would get to spend a night with her. Bischoff would go on to win the match following interference from Jazz, though the stipulation was nullified when Linda McMahon confronted him after the match. The following week on Raw, Stratus received a rematch against Jazz for the title but was defeated. Stratus was once again unsuccessful in challenging for the title in a fatal four-way match on May 18, at Judgement Day.

In the following months, Stratus was placed into an alliance with Gail Kim. It was short-lived, however, as Kim turned on Stratus and teamed with Molly Holly, putting the women in a storyline feud. The duo defeated Stratus and several tag team partners until Stratus allied herself with a returning Lita.{{cite web|url=http://www.pwwew.net/tv/raw/030902.htm|title=Raw results – September 1, 2003|access-date=August 24, 2007|publisher=PWWEW.net|archive-date=September 26, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926220130/http://www.pwwew.net/tv/raw/030902.htm|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://www.pwwew.net/tv/raw/030909.htm|title=Raw results – September 8, 2003|access-date=August 24, 2007|publisher=PWWEW.net|archive-date=September 26, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926220258/http://www.pwwew.net/tv/raw/030909.htm|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2003/09/16/194387.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130115060619/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2003/09/16/194387.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=January 15, 2013|title=Raw: Goldberg down but not out|date=September 16, 2003|last=Tywalk|first=Nick|access-date=May 19, 2014|work=Slam!

Stratus began an on-screen romance with Chris Jericho during the November 10 episode of Raw when she agreed to go on a date with him.{{cite news|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/TrishStratus/2004/09/21/638141.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120629043112/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/TrishStratus/2004/09/21/638141.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=June 29, 2012|title=Into the Stratusphere|author=Scott Zerr|newspaper=Edmonton Sun|access-date=August 24, 2007|date=December 1, 2003}} Subsequently, they participated in an intergender tag team match as partners on December 1. After the match, Stratus overheard Jericho talking to then-heel, Christian, who was involved in an on-screen romance with Lita at the time, about who could sleep with their respective woman first.{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2003/12/02/274772.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140519081041/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2003/12/02/274772.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=May 19, 2014|title=Raw: Foley foils Bischoff|date=December 2, 2003|last=Tylwalk|first=Nick|access-date=May 19, 2014|work=Slam!

Christian would also briefly turn face once again, but only revealed to be a hoax as he would attack and defeat her in a match ordered by Eric Bischoff. This would start a feud between Christian and Jericho, who was defending Stratus. During their match at WrestleMania XX, however, Stratus turned heel by betraying Jericho and siding with Christian. Stratus claimed her reasons for siding with Christian were that he was a "real man", and Jericho was a "love sick puppy". The duo feuded with Jericho for several months and competed in a 2-on-1 Handicap match at Backlash.{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/backlash.html#2004|title=Backlash 2004 – April 18, 2004|access-date=August 25, 2007|publisher=prowrestlinghistory.com|archive-date=April 10, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080410190903/http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/backlash.html#2004|url-status=live}} The team of Stratus and Christian were joined by "problem solver" Tyson Tomko the next night on Raw.{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2004/04/20/429834.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120721125217/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2004/04/20/429834.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=July 21, 2012|title=RAW: Benoit adds to collection|date=April 20, 2004|last=Tylwalk|first=Nick|access-date=May 19, 2004|work=Slam!

Stratus won the WWE Women's Championship for a fifth time at Bad Blood on June 13.{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/women/3044541321211122 |title=History of the Women's Championship: Trish Stratus (5) |access-date=August 25, 2007 |publisher=WWE |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080705180232/http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/women/3044541321211122 |archive-date=July 5, 2008 }} She defended the title until she suffered a legitimate broken hand in July that caused her to be out of action for approximately a month.{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_8921.shtml|title=WWE News: Trish Stratus injury update, Tough Enough 4 details, Motley Fool on WWE financials|date=July 3, 2004|last=Keller|first=Wade|author-link=Wade Keller|access-date=May 19, 2014|publisher=Pro Wrestling Torch|archive-date=May 19, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140519113828/http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_8921.shtml|url-status=live}} Upon her return, she continued to defend the title against numerous challengers before losing the championship to Lita on December 6, when both women wrestled in the main event of Raw for the championship. Stratus recaptured the title for the sixth time a month later at New Year's Revolution, after Lita suffered a legitimate knee injury during the match.{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/women/3044541321211121 |title=History of the Women's Championship: Trish Stratus (6) |access-date=August 25, 2007 |publisher=WWE |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070718091018/http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/women/3044541321211121 |archive-date=July 18, 2007 }} Stratus was originally booked to lose the championship back to Lita at WrestleMania 21, but due to Lita's injury, she was not cleared to wrestle. A new angle was then developed between Stratus and 2004 Raw Diva Search winner Christy Hemme over jealousy of Hemme's Playboy magazine exposure, with Stratus attacking Hemme with a Chick Kick and spray painting the word "slut" across her back.{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/Wrestlemania21/2005/03/21/968130.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120714052220/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/Wrestlemania21/2005/03/21/968130.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=July 14, 2012|title=Hemme targets mean Stratus|author=Russ Cohen|work=Slam! Wrestling|publisher=Canadian Online Explorer|access-date=August 7, 2007|date=August 7, 2007}} Stratus was challenged by Hemme, who later revealed she was being trained by Lita, for a championship match at WrestleMania 21, where Stratus successfully retained her championship. Stratus would then demand a rematch against Hemme the next night on Raw; before the match started, Stratus hit Hemme again with the Chick Kick, and re-injured Lita's knee. The next week, after losing a tag team match, Stratus was chased around the arena by Lita's storyline husband, Kane, narrowly escaping. The week after, Stratus almost got chokeslammed again onto the stage, but Viscera saved her. Stratus would then form a short-lived alliance with Viscera, who was ordered to protect her.

In May 2005, Stratus was sidelined with the Women's Championship after suffering a herniated disc, with the storyline explanation that Viscera had injured her at Backlash after she insulted him for losing to Kane. This left the company without a Women's Champion for four months, as Stratus remained the champion during the time of her injury, thus ignoring the 30-day clause stating that a champion must defend their respective title at least once every 30 days. She returned to Raw on September 12, 2005, as a face by siding with Ashley Massaro against Vince's Devils (Candice Michelle, Victoria and Torrie Wilson).{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/TrishStratus/2005/09/18/1222450-sun.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120629043112/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/TrishStratus/2005/09/18/1222450-sun.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=June 29, 2012|title=Injury hasn't hurt Stratus' sass, wicked wit|author=Tim Baines|work=Ottawa Sun|publisher=Canadian Online Explorer|access-date=August 25, 2007|date=September 18, 2005}} The feud also involved the debuting Mickie James, who introduced herself as Stratus' biggest fan.
