Last Time

AJ finally perked up, remembering something, "That reminds me, you have a title defense tonight on Raw against Randy Orton. Enjoy holding that championship while you can, baby," She smirked.

"And unlike you Daniel, I don't put my woman in danger to retain my championship. Woo woo woo..."

"You know it!" AJ exclaimed, sticking her tongue out at Daniel.

Zack just to play head games with the world champ, kissed AJ lovingly on the lips, while his United States Championship glinted proudly on his shoulder.

Daniel scowled at Zack. He even balled his hands into a fist but he walked away in frustration, formulating a plan already for revenge on Zack.

Zack grinned at AJ. "How was that baby?" He asked sweetly.

"Oh yeah you're definitely a better kisser than Danny," AJ grinned back.

Zack blushed. "Well...I try." He said, trying to be modest.

AJ giggled, "And you're more modest than him too," she gushed, loving how humble and sweet Zack was in comparison to Daniel.

"Really?" He asked cutely.

"Mm-hm." AJ giggled.

"Ah well I do what I can." He smiled.

"Now how about we head into the locker room and enjoy the rest of the show huh?" AJ suggested.

"Good idea baby." Zack agreed.

AJ walked hand in hand with Zack back to his locker room, beaming all the while at her boyfriend.

End Flashback

Taryn Terrell was rehired into the WWE as right now she was looking around the arena backstage. So much had changed in the two years shes been gone with both the scenery and the employees but she never once forgot about the WWE company and the people within it.

Taryn smiled to herself as her mind drifted to a certain Viper. She'd gotten a crush on Randy a few months after her divorce from Drew McIntyre. Ever since they had broken up, Drew had been buried to figurative jobber hell, but fortunately Drew had no hard feelings for his ex-wife. Eagerly, she headed for Randy's locker room to talk with him.

Randy was in his locker room, lacing his boots up for the show. He had a match with Daniel Bryan tonight and he was filling his mind with thoughts of victory.

Taryn took a deep breath as she knocked on Randy's locker room door. 'Come on girl, you can do this.' She thought.

"Come in," Randy said bluntly, expecting a superstar.

Taryn took a deep breath as she walked in.

Randy's eyes widened as soon as he saw the blond diva enter his locker room, "Taryn?" he asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm surprised you remember me." She teased, giggling.

Randy chuckled, "Well you did sort of stand out in this company last time you were here but why did you come back and why are you in my locker room?" Randy asked, a bit perplexed.

"Well...its a long story." She blushed.

"Want to tell me about it?" Randy asked, "I got some time."

"Perhaps a video would help explain better. Got a computer around?" She asked shyly.

"Yeah," Randy said, pointing to his laptop.

"Alright, mind if I use it a minute?"

"Yeah," Randy answered.

Taryn smiled and pulled up the Secret Crush video, skipping it to her part, before giving it back to Randy and hitting play.

Randy blinked as he listened to a younger Taryn on the video, "Well that was...insightful," he said with a little smile on his face, "Were you serious?"

"Yeah I was, then Drew and I got married, but a few weeks after we broke up, I started thinking about you, and I haven't been able to stop since."

Randy couldn't believe what he just heard, "I never would've thought that. You and Drew seemed so close," his voice softened as if remembering something that happened to him.

Taryn immediately noticed the change in Randy's voice. "Randy, you ok?" She asked gently.

"Yeah. It's just the same thing happened to me and my now ex-wife," Randy answered bluntly.

"You had a divorce too? Aww Randy.. you poor sweet man.." Taryn soothed, hugging him consolably.

Randy did something that was nothing short of uncharacteristic of him, he was blushing now, "Thanks Taryn, I appreciate that."

"Sure." She said, before she heard a soft crying come from nearby.

Randy left Taryn to check on his daughter Alanna who was sitting in a chair watching her father and the blonde diva talk about such a dismal subject, "Please baby, don't cry," Randy kneeled down to look his daughter in her eyes, feeling ashamed that he brought up his divorce with Samantha in the presence of his three year old girl.

Taryn walked over and giggled at Alanna. "Aww Randy, she's so cute!"

Alanna wiped her eyes and silenced herself. She even smiled a little at Taryn, appreciating the compliment, "That's my little girl Alanna. She's three years old and the light of my life." Randy introduced.

Taryn smiled at her. "May I hold her Randy?"

"Sure," Randy answered.

Taryn gently picked up Alanna as the little girl giggled innocently, giving her best impression of her daddy's RKO pose. Taryn smiled. "I see she takes after you."

"I'm sure she does," Randy replied, striking the classic RKO pose with his daughter.

"Like father like daughter." Taryn giggled.

Randy laughed, "So Taryn can I expect to see you in any segments or something tonight? Because I know you didn't just come back to see me."

"I have a match, not sure who with yet though. Also I'm rooting for you to kick that little jerk Daniel Bryan's ass tonight." She winked innocently.

"And get my World Heavyweight Championship back," Randy grinned.

"And I'm sure your sweet little girl will be watching won't you?" She asked Alanna playfully.

"Uh-huh," Alanna nodded and smiled.

"I'll take care of her for you during your match Randy." Taryn offered.

"Thanks Taryn," Randy smiled at her.

"Sure thing."

"Now lets watch the show," Randy suggested.

"Why not?" Taryn smiled.

Randy turned on the tv and watched the show with Taryn.

A stagehand told Taryn that she'd be facing Alicia Fox tonight right after the commercial break.

Taryn faked a yawn. "That match won't take long." She laughed to Randy.

"Yeah. Don't waste anytime out there," Randy smiled.

"I'd say it'll take a minute and a half to beat her."

"One way to find out," Randy noted, "Your match is next."

"Cheer me on." Taryn giggled as she got up to leave.

"Sure will," Randy said.

"Bye miss Terrell," Alanna spoke.

"See you soon, Alanna." Taryn smiled before she headed to the tunnel.

Taryn was given a new divas reaction. No theme music, no introduction at the moment, and no fan reception.

Taryn despite the lack of reaction still gave the fans handtouches to establish herself as a babyface diva.

Then Alicia Fox's music played and the fans gave her a cold reaction, "From Ponte Vedra Beach Florida, Alicia Fox!" Justin announced.

Taryn rolled her eyes, confident in herself.

Alicia arrogantly flipped her hair at Taryn, showing her confidence.

The bell rang as Taryn went to lock up with Alicia.

Alicia poked Taryn in the eye with her thumb.

Taryn staggered backward, favoring her eye.

Alicia ran at Taryn, attempting a clothesline.

Taryn reversed into a drop-toe hold.

Alicia fell right on her stomach.

Taryn smirked, locking Alicia in an ankle lock.

Alicia yelled in pain for a couple of seconds before grabbing the bottom rope.

Taryn broke it immediately.

Alicia attempted a sloppy-looking snap suplex, barely managing to flip Taryn into the air.

Taryn managed to give a mid-air spin and land on her feet.

Alicia tried to keep the offense going with and elbow to Taryn's face.

Before it could strike, Taryn floored her with a big boot to the face.

Alicia fell down to the mat in a heap.

Taryn quickly leapt to the top and went for a diving splash.

The splash connected, knocking air right out of Alicia as the fans popped with cheers.

Taryn stayed down for a pin.

"1...2...3...ring it!" the ref called for the bell.

Taryn jumped up, letting out a small celebratory scream.

"The winner of the match, Taryn Terrell!" Justin announced

Taryn grinned, as she knew backstage, Randy was smiling.

"I knew you were gonna win out there," Randy said with warmth as he had been watching the match on the tv in his locker room.

With a spring in her step, Taryn headed backstage.

"You were great out there," Randy praised as he had came to the guerilla position backstage to greet Taryn after her match.

"Aw thanks Randy. For my first match in two years I guess I was alright."

"You sure were," Randy nodded, "Alanna enjoyed your match too."

"Aw really?"

"Yeah," Randy said, finally making it back to his locker room.

"So you about ready for your title match?" She asked.

"Oh yeah. I've been waiting on this match all night," Randy answered.

"I'll take care of Alanna for you then." Taryn smiled.

"Thanks, Taryn. Alanna really likes you too."

"I'm just happy to help. Now go kick some butt for us." Taryn smiled, lifting Alanna gently so she could kiss her daddy's cheek.

Randy grinned as soon as she felt Alanna's lips on his cheek, "Thank you sweetie. Now daddy has a world championship to win."

"Okay daddy I'll be here waiting for you." Alanna giggled sweetly.

Randy left the room feeling nothing but confidence.

Taryn hugged Alanna close to her, knowing the little one probably needed motherly support.

Daniel meanwhile was feeling quite confident about his chances, but couldn't help but feel a little weary thanks to AJ.

As Randy was making his way to the Gorilla Position, Alanna hugged Taryn back. She was a little unsure of the beautiful blonde woman when she first saw her but she had grown fond to her, especially since her daddy had similar feelings.

"You okay Alanna sweetie?" Taryn asked softly.

Voices hit the PA as Randy grinned, having already slipped into character or tough guy mode as he called it with Alanna as the little one didn't quite understand the mental science Randy employed as The Viper.

"Yes," Alanna nodded, watching her father on the television, hearing the music and the crowd.

"You've been watching your daddy a long time haven't you?" She asked as Randy got on the turnbuckle, giving his trademark Legend Killer pose to the crowd.

"Mm-hm" Alanna confirmed, keeping her eyes on her father, copying her father's RKO pose.

"Aww.. so how much do you know about what your daddy does?" She asked. Randy glared at the ramp, awaiting Daniel.

"He's a wrestler," Alanna chimed.

"And how much do you know about wrestling, sweetheart?" Taryn asked.

"I know that my daddy is the Viper," Alanna answered.

"Ah so you know that's your daddy's character right?"

"Yes," Alanna answered.

"And from Aberdeen, Washingon, the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan!" Justin announced.

The fans booed Daniel loudly as he came out with his trademark arrogant bravado.

"YES! YES! YES! I'M THE CHAMP!" Daniel said, radiating confidence.

"Will this nut ever shut up!" Randy growled.

Daniel quickly walked into the ring and raised his arms with pride, showing his confidence.

Randy quickly went on the aggressive with a clothesline as soon as the bell rang.

Daniel was floored on impact by the clothesline.

Randy posed to the crowd, winking toward the camera intended for Alanna.

Ever the opportunist, Daniel tried a rollup pin on Randy from behind.

Randy kicked out at 1.

Danny quickly got to his feet and hit Randy with elbow's to his head and back

Randy stumbled backward a little.

"Come on Randy.." Taryn encouraged.

Danny tried to keep the offense up by attempting a dropkick.

Randy took it cleanly, crashing to the mat.

"Get up daddy!" Alanna called.

Danny attempted a standing elbow drop.

Randy quickly rolled out of the way.

Danny took the bump well but got on his feet, waiting for Randy patiently.

Randy slowly got to his feet, trying to undaze himself.

Danny moved in, attempting a scoop slam.

Randy still a little dazed, took it.

Danny smirked, nonchalantly covering Randy in a basic body pin.

Randy kicked out right at 2.

Daniel scowled before helping Randy up by the hand and attempting a hard chop to his chest.

Randy countered with a hard clothesline before hitting the ropes for his trademark scoop slam combo.

The scoop slam connected, dropping Daniel on his back. He knew Randy was in his trademark move sequence but he had no idea how to stop it now.

Randy smirked as he started pounding the mat signaling for the RKO..

Daniel Bryan slowly got up, trying to recover his senses.

Daniel could feel Randy wrap his arms around his neck but in an instant he shoved him off.

Randy fell to the mat, back-first.

Daniel tried a classic chin lock on Randy.

Randy struggled in it, trying to break it.

Danny could feel his grip loosen on the hold.

Randy gave an elbow, slipping out and again going for the RKO.

Daniel countered into the Labell Lock.

Randy yelled in pain, trying to fight out of the submission.

Then AJ was running right down the ramp to the apron of the ring. Just the sight of his ex-girlfriend alone was a surprise to Daniel as he relaxed the grip on the Labell Lock.

Randy wiggled out of the hold, pounding the mat again for the RKO as he sprang to his feet, waiting for Daniel to turn around.

Daniel got up and turned around, looking right at Randy, it was already too late for him.

Randy grinned, hitting the RKO.

AJ cheered gleefully as soon as the RKO hit.

Randy sent AJ a wink as he rolled her ex over for the pin.

"1...2...3...ring the bell!" the ref ordered.

Randy jumped up, scaling the turnbuckle as he thrust his arms up in victorious fashion.

"The winner of the match and the NEW World Heavyweight Champion, Randyyyyyyy Orrrrrrrtonnnn!" Justin bellowed as the ref handed Randy the big gold belt.

Randy motioned to AJ offering for her to come celebrate with him, as he smiled.

AJ got into the ring and walked to Randy's side, and looking down at Daniel's fallen body with a smirk.

Randy smiled at AJ. "Thanks for the help." He said.

"You're welcome," AJ smiled, raising Randy's hand in victory just to get a pop before heading out of the ring.

The fans started an RKO chant as Randy proudly posed with the world title.

AJ left the ring to have Randy soak up the spotlight. She also had a very special manski in her life to get back to.
