Last week she got in my face. Now she thinks she's better than me in the ring? Tonight, I should make sure Maryse goes down. Mickie told herself as she and Kelly waited to make their entrances. They were both always ready for competition. They were both focused as Maryse made her entrance first. Per usual she came down as arrogant as ever. Natalya wasn't much different. Kelly made her entrance then Mickie made hers. She never got used to the feeling of joy.
The match was tough, competitive, and nothing short of amazing. Maryse was fierce, cunning and she was skilled. So was Natalya. Just what she would expect from her. Mickie and Kelly both to dig down deep if they wanted the match for number one contender. Mickie ended with a finisher on Maryse and rolled her up for the win. They began to hug and point at each other with respect.
"With this victory Mickie James and Kelly Kelly will be competing for the number one contenders spot for the woman's title" Cole explained. "They one as a team tonight. But next week only one of them will have their hands raised in victory". How will Shane McMahon's plan play out? "Mickie I want your best next week" Kelly whispered. "Kelly you are going to get it. I want your best as well". Kelly smiled and the two women hugged once more.
The WWE was buzzing about the number one contenders match between the stunning young divas. Mickie was in her locker room preparing for her match. She had something to prove. She jumped over another hurdle. That had to continue tonight. She needed that number one contenders spot. She wanted to get that women's tile and be champion. She would be one step closer to realizing her dream. She cheked her phone to see a voicemail from Kelly. She smiled but noticed another before she checked it.
Natalya had left her a voice mail. Once again she didn't expect that but wondered what she had to say. "Mickie you were so great in our match last week. It was just really inspiring. Your just… awesome! Maybe we could actually join forces ourselves sometime! I know your going to beat Kelly Kelly tonight. I just know it. Im really wishing for you to be the next WWE Women's champion. Good luck"! Mickie shook her head. The things that went on here was insane.
She then listened to Kelly's. "Tonight's the big night Mickie! I have a ton of respect for you as a competitor, but im going to give it everything ive got! Soon, im going to be holding the women's championship"! Mickie smiled challenge accepted. But she was sorry to say Kelly would not be holding the championship. That distinctive honor would go to her. She smiled as she headed to gorilla. Kelly made her entrance looking ready for anything. Mickie felt just the same.
She respected Kelly very much. She was a great competitor with great potential. Also a good friend of hers. She and Mickie shook hands and wished each other good luck. It was a long fought contests. Women's champion Beth Phoenix came to ringside. It turned the pressure up even more. Mickie hit Kelly with her finisher for the pin. She had done it! She would be facing Beth for the title. She had beat the best to win. As she was celebrating she turned to see Beth staring her down.
Mickie wouldn't back down not now. Beth was the glamazon. One of the toughest divas in the history of WWE. She would not back down. As Beth left they continued to stare each other down. This would be her hardest battle. But she would come out of it and be champion. She earned it and she would get that belt. She headed to the back where she was congratulated by most of the divas locker room. But she wanted them to wait till she had won the belt.
Mickie was full of anticipation the next week. She couldn't stop thinking about herself and Beth staring each other down. She was chatting with some people backstage when her phone went off. She excused herself to take the phone. She sighed as she listened to the voicemail from Beth. "Your supposed to be challenging me for the womens championship? Ha!
It's a joke that anyone thinks your any kind of challenge to me. I mean, ive lost count of how many times ive beaten you! I hope your heart wasn't set on my title, because there's no way your beating me tonight". What in the heck was up with everyone getting her number? Did they all just decide to shop her cell phone number around? The nerve of Beth though.
It was certainly how she always was. The only woman in the locker room she could say she despised more than Maryse. Or at least just as much. Leave it to her to play mind games. Mickie wasn't up for playing them though. She couldn't let her get into her head before this match. It was arguably one of the biggest matches of her career. Beth may be muscled up but Mickie wasn't scared of her. She liked to intimidate people. However, Mickie would not be intimidated.
She was going out there tonight and was going to take that title. Her friends all hugged her and wished her good luck. She was going to need it. No she shook her head. She was going to do her best and she was going to win. She headed out to that match. She would be leaving as champion. She worked hard for this. She could not and would not fail. Beth's music hit and she came out void of the cocky emotion Mickie expected. She was taking it seriously.
Mickie couldn't remember the last time she had treated a match seriously. Her eyes were as focused as Mickie's. The championship was what this was all about. She noticed Natalya coming down and sitting at commentary. She shook her head not letting it cause a distraction. The match began and Beth threw her around like a rag doll. Mickie stood up refusing to lose focus. This was the strength of Beth Phoenix. She attacked Beth with punches and she tackled her to the ground. Beth began hitting her with them right back.
Pushing her up Beth grabbed hold of her hair and clotheslined her. The match went of long and hard. Mickie hit her with the stratus faction of all things. Getting the three count she held the title high. This wasn't Beth's title any longer. It was now hers. She had tears in her eyes as she held the title up high. She was the woman's champion. She had done the impossible and defeated Beth Phoenix. The crowd cheered their love for her and she loved them right back.
Natalya cheered happily from ringside. "We have a new women's champion Mickie James". "Mickie James put on the effort of a lifetime to beat Beth Phoenix" Cole said. "She should be proud of what she did tonight". "What a wonderful moment for her king". As Mickie got out of the ring Natalya tackled her with a hug. She went backstage to get more hugs and congratulations from her friends. She was going to the royal rumble as women's champion.
All the divas would be competing in the very first diva's rumble. Mickie would be going in as the champion. She once again needed to bring her A game tonight. She really didn't want to be losing as the champion. She waited until it was her turn to enter the match. As the timer went down she sprinted down the ramp. Fans were ready as they had been waiting for the new women's champion to make her long waited entrance. They cheered in response to her appearance.
Eve Torres and Brie Bella were currently in the match. She got in immediately mixing it up with both women. She took them both down within seconds. Maryse's music hit and she ran to the ring. Mickie couldn't wait to put hands on her again. Mickie began attempting to push Eve off the ring and Brie helped. Eve attempted to fight but was pushed out onto the floor. Mickie really liked Eve so it wasn't easy to do. Kelly was the next entrant into the match.
Michelle Mcool entered next. Mickie couldn't stand her either. Mickie kicked Brie causing her to fall in between the ropes and to the floor. Michelle eliminated Maryse and both she and Kelly attempted to eliminate Mickie. But she held on and fought them both. The crowd chanted her name firing her up once more. Mickie pushed Kelly out eliminating her. She then eliminated Michelle. The strangest thing had been Natayla eliminating herself along with the competition.
But she had done it. She won the battle royal further proving herself as top diva. Further confusing her a jumping Natalya climbed into the ring and embraced her not letting go. Mickie heard commentary say something about Nattie wanting to support her for being an inspiration. And someone else saying looks like she wanted to do more than congratulate her. She hugged her back awkwardly. Nattie then held her hand high in the air. Mickie smiled choosing to accept this.
She headed backstage smiling at her belt before heading off to chat with some people. Miz was walking by and as he saw her he couldn't resist messing with her. As they went by each other Miz backed up to get in front of her stop her. "I knew I was a chick magnet, but apparently I'm a skank magnet too. How about that"? He went to walk off but she couldn't stay quiet. He always under her skin but after tonight she was not going to say nothing.
"Whats your problem Miz"? she demanded as he began to circle around her. He never liked her either and she was curious as to why that was. "Il tell you what my problem is. I haven't forgotten how you tried to upstage me". What was he talking about? The only time they were in the ring together was during the divas swimsuit competition that never happened. She was by no means attempting to upstage him. Though with his attitude that wasn't hard to do.
"Get over it. I have. I've moved on to important things, like becoming the WWE Women's champion. She turned to leave as she wast going to waste anymore time arguing with him. But he wasn't done and took a step forward. "Did you get a pair of shoes with that belt"? He asked mockingly. "I detect some jealousy there Miz" she said back just as mockingly. He loved to play this game but she wouldn't let him win either. After all, how many single championships have you won"?
She pointed her finger at him and he stepped back in shock. As though he couldn't believe anyone would say that to him. He angrily began to advance toward her. Mickie would be lying if she said she wasn't a little frithened. But she would stand her ground and not let him intimidate her. As he neared her Brian Kendrick stepped in between them causing Mickie and Miz to lean back. "Is there a problem here"? he asked getting face to face with Miz.
Miz looked ready to pounce but Brian stood his ground. Miz continued to size him up but began stepping back as Brian stepped forward and moved his hands in a motion like it wasn't worth the time before walking away. Mickie watched him walk away with confusion as Brain turned back to her.
