Hello, all. As some of you may know, the first Fanfic I wrote in this series was the Divas of Domination. It was written almost four years ago, and my writing had improved a lot since then, so I am rewriting and revising the original Fanfic and turning it into this one. I will not be taking away any plot details from the original, so I hope everyone enjoys this rewritten story.


Backlash: Apr. 26, 2009

I walk out of the Divas locker-room excited, but at the same time, kind of nervous. Tonight, I have a match for the WWE Women's Championship against Melina, the current champion.

This match could end up being the most important match of my career in WWE so far. I need to do good against Melina to at least gain the attention of the WWE Universe, as well as the authority figures of this company.

I have had plans for a faction for a couple of months now. I needed as much attention as possible to get it started. And winning my first WWE Women's Championship in over two years would be a nice way to get the attention I wanted.

I haven't had a championship since November of 2006. I had beat Lita at Cyber Sunday in the finals of a tournament to determine the new WWE Women's Champion after Trish Stratus, one of my mentors, had retired from wrestling and vacated the championship. I didn't even get to be champion for a month, as at Survivor Series later that same month, Randy Orton went off script and decided to RKO me after I defeated Lita in her retirement match and retained the Women's Championship.

I haven't been WWE Women's Champion since that night. I have had some championship matches since then, but they were all unsuccessful for me. My two closest wins were at Backlash and Armageddon last year when I defeated Beth Phoenix via disqualification at both pay-per-views. However, due to Champion's Advantage, I didn't win the championship.

I did, however, pin Beth Phoenix a couple weeks ago on Raw in a Number One Contender's match that I was rewarded a spot in after eliminating Melina in the "Miss WrestleMania" Battle Royal a few weeks ago at WrestleMania 25.

I pinned Beth clean and eliminated Melina from the Battle Royal at WrestleMania, so I am pretty confident that this could be my night. I was looking forward to winning my championship back.

I look at the time. "I guess it's time to go get my championship back."


("Move It Up" plays)

"This match is scheduled for one fall and is for the WWE Women's Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, from Saint Louis, Missouri, Marissa!"

I walked down the ramp and into the ring. I was getting a lot nerves since I'm about to start the match now. Then, I did my signature pose in the corner of the ring before standing on one side of the ring.

("Paparazzi" plays)

"And her opponent, from Los Angeles, California, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Melina!"

I stood quietly and watched Melina enter the ring with what was about to be my WWE Women's Championship. I smile as she hands it to the referee.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

I wanted to end this match quickly so I immediately kicked Melina in the gut and hit my finisher, the Picture Perfect (a Samoan Drop), and I pinned Melina down to the mat.

1…2…3!

"Here is your winner and the NEW WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

I was the Women's Champion for the second time. I took the championship from the referee and let him raise my arm in the air. I knew there were tears in my eyes, but I didn't care. Ever since I had to vacate the WWE Women's Championship the first time, I have dreamed of being a champion again. Now, it's reality. And this time, I am not vacating the championship.


I then went to the backstage area with my newly won Women's Championship. When I got back there, I just had to run into the man I couldn't stand the most, Randy Orton. Even though we were both from Saint Louis, I couldn't stand him one bit. That is mainly due to the reason that he is the reason that I had to vacate the title the first time. I knew I would probably see him at some point, but seeing Randy Orton right now ruined the emotional high I was on after winning the Women's Championship.

I tried to walk past Randy as fast as I can without drawing attention to myself, but he saw me and grabbed my arm.

"Well, well, well." Randy says with a smug smirk on his face. "Look what we got here. Now, when was the last time I saw you with that title?"

"What do you want, Orton?" I reply curtly to Randy, hoping he would realize

that I had no interest in speaking to him.

"I, Randy Orton, the leader of Legacy, just wanted to personally congratulate you. I can't even remember the last time you had a title. You should be happy I graced you with my presence."

"Thanks…I guess. And the last time I had this title was before you RKO'd me back in 2006."

"Oh, I forgot about you having the title back then. I just remember the RKO."

"Whatever." I scoff and walk away.


I smile to myself as I watch the nameplate on the Women's Championship get changed from Melina's to mine. This made it feel a little more official. I take my Women's Championship.

I walked towards Catering with the newly won championship in my shoulder.


I hug Michelle McCool, Eve Torres, and Maryse Ouellet the moment I make it to Catering.

"I did it, guys." I say quietly. "I did it."

"You sure did." Chelle says. "We're proud of you. Good job."

"Thanks."

"Congratulations." Eve and Maryse say.

"Thank you. Now, I think it's time, ladies."

"Time for what?" Eve asks.

"You know what."

"I do?"

Ryse smacks Eve. "You should."

I giggle. "I mean that it's time to finally form our faction. We need to make our debut as a faction as soon as possible."

"When do you want us to make ourselves known?" Chelle asks.

"I want to do it tomorrow. We make our debut as a faction tomorrow. All four of us are going to be a united front starting tomorrow."

"How are we going to debut?" Eve asks. "We need a plan."

"We attack someone. I'm sure there's a Divas match tomorrow. We attack someone in it. We will make a statement so huge that we'll make those boys in Legacy look like a bunch of little bitches. We're going to dominate the whole Divas division, on Raw, on SmackDown, and on ECW."

"That sounds great and all…" Eve says slowly. "But we don't even have a name for our group yet."

I smile. "How about the Divas of Domination?"
