Hello everybody. It's Jen again. I know I said I would update my Taker/Michelle story. And I will. But first, I need to do this request from Wolfgirl77769 (Danielle Wolf). She wanted me to create a Dolph Ziggler/Maria/CM Punk story. Even though I don't like Punk or Dolph "Ziggles" right now, I do enjoy the CM Punk/Maria pairing. So I will do a one - shot for Danielle. Here we go!

As usual, I do not own anybody. They all belong to World Wrestling Entertainment/themselves.

*Based on the 10/09/09 episode of Friday Night Smackdown!

Tonight, Smackdown was taping at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, New Jersey. And on this night, Maria Kanellis's "boyfriend" Dolph Ziggler was having a second Intercontinental Championship against John Morrsion.

In the back

Maria found Dolph getting ready for the match backstage and walked up to him.

"Hey Dolph sweetie," she said sweetly. "Good luck tonight babe. Bring that title home to your waist." Then she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.

Slightly brushing off the kiss, Dolph replied, "Thanks Ria. I will do just that." Then he took off for gorilla.

In the ring

Dolph and John had been going at it back and forth. It was just like their match 5 days earlier at the new Hell in a Cell pay - per - view. For some reason, Maria felt the need to come out to ringside, get a chair that Dolph had put near the ring and sit in it near the announcers' table.

"Come on Dolph! Come on!" Maria screamed.

Later in the match, Dolph had Morrison down on the ground. Now all he needed was his lucky chair and he would be the new champion. As Dolph went for the chair, however, he saw that Maria was sitting in it!

"What? No!" Dolph screamed. "Why? How, you stupid bitch?!"

What Dolph didn't know was that his falling out with Maria had given Morrison the advantage he needed. One Flying Chuck kick later and John was still the Intercontinental Champion. With Dolph down in the ring, Maria climbed in to check on him. The two got in a staredown with Morrison, with Maria looking concerned while Dolph looked angry and annoyed.

Backstage

Maria took off after Dolph backstage after the match, hoping that he'd talk to her after what had just happened.

"What, what's wrong with you? Come on. Just talk to me!" Maria protested. "Come on. Dolph. Dolph! Come on! Just... just talk to me. Dol-" Unfortunately, she was rudely interrupted.

"Now Maria," Dolph started. "I have a professional life... and a personal life. And I thought you could differentiate between those two."

"But Dolph, I thought we were a team," Maria said to him.

"My personal life... I don't know. And my professional life," Dolph argued back. "I see bright lights, a big future. I - I've got something special going on here."

Maria stuttered, "I... I know."

Putting his hand on Maria's shoulder and being as nice as he could, Dolph finished, "In my personal life... I DON'T see you. It's over."

After, he left a shocked Maria by herself to start crying while the WWE Universe booed Dolph's actions. Maria was angry. She did not expect this to happen!

After the show

After the show was done taping, Maria was in the parking lot crying hard. Dolph didn't care though, since he was already long gone.

"Hey sweetie," a voice next to her said softly. Maria looked next to her and saw her friend Eve Torres, who had lost to Women's Champion Michelle McCool earlier in the night.

"Eve?" asked Maria, holding back a sob.

"I saw what happened with you and Dolph earlier. It's okay Maria," said Eve, hugging her friend. Then she turned to leave.

Elsewhere, former World Champion Phil Brooks, aka CM Punk, was packing his bag after his match against Batista, which he had won by countout. He had changed into a Pepsi logo t - shirt and a pair of jeans, and then walked out of his locker room. In the parking lot, he was about to get into his rental car when he heard a young woman crying near him.

"Hello?" Phil called out.

"Phil? Is that you?" the woman cried, walking toward him.

As the figure continued walking toward him, Phil saw that the voice belonged to his ex Maria.

"Maria? What's wrong? What happened?" Phil asked softly.

"Oh Phil," Maria sobbed hysterically. "Dolph Ziggler said he didn't see me in his personal life, and then he just... He dumped me Phil! He dumped me!" Then she fell to her knees and cried some more.

Helping Maria back to her feet, Phil said, "Ria. It's okay. Ziggler is a jerk for dumping such a gorgeous girl." Even though his character was now villianous, Phil really was a nice guy.

"Aw. You really think so?" Maria asked, wiping away a few tears.

"Yes. I do. I would never be that mean to you like that idiot Ziggler was," Phil softly replied.

"Thanks Phil." Then the two locked lips and kissed for a few seconds.

"Hey. Would you like to ride home with me?" asked the Straightedge Superstar.

"Sure. Of course I would!" Maria replied gleefully.

Phil got in the driver's seat of his rental while Maria put her bag with his in the back and climbed in the front. The two drove home to Chicago together, leaving behind an interesting night that neither of them would ever forget.

Tada! Now my Dolph/Maria/Punk story is done. By the way, the words exhanged by Maria and Ziggler after the match were the actual words from Smackdown. Hope you liked it Danielle! I know it's only a one - shot, but at least it's long. LMAO! Read and review please. Thank you!!
