Orlando had pulled out a chair and was about to hit Undertaker with it. Randy appeared and hit the RKO on Orlando. He helped Taker pin Orlando and the ref counted to three. Undertaker retains his title.

He looked over at Randy, before trying to get up. Randy picked up the chair and swung it towards Undertaker's back. Three times.

"What is he doing? Orton's gone nuts", Cole said.

"I think he's sending a clear message to the deadman. He wants an opportunity at the title and he doesn't care what he has to do to get it", Taz said.

"I don't know if hitting the deadman with a chair is the right way to go. Don't piss off the Undertaker, it's the first rule in wrestling school", Cole said.

Randy walked up the ramp backwards, an evil, satisfied smirk on his face. Undertaker was in the ring, trying to move. SmackDown ended with the refs trying to help Taker out of the ring.

Once backstage and showered, Taker stretched his back.

"Man, I don't want to be you. You're probably in a lot of pain right now", Kane said chuckling.

"After years of doing this, I don't even feel it anymore", he said.

Kane laughed.

"I'll see you next week", Kane said, before walking out.

Torrie was getting ready to leave with Stacy. Stopping when she heard a couple of the women talking about her.

"I can't believe they even gave her a match. She doesn't even know how to wrestle", one of them said.

"They should just fire her already", another said.

"Come on, you know they won't. The only reason they keep her around is because Vince finds her attractive", the other said.

She was glad they couldn't see her, but she was determined to show them that she can do it, even if she had to pay for a private trainer. Finally the girls left and she walked out. Stacy smiled at her.

"Where have you been?", she asked.

"Sorry, I thought I forgot something in the bathroom", Torrie said.

Stacy nodded and grabbed her bags.

"Ready to head out?", she asked.

Torrie nodded and they left to their car.

The following Thursday, Taker did all he could to avoid Vince. He honestly didn't want to be teamed up with one of the women. Heading down the hall, he overheard a conversation that obviously wasn't meant for him to hear.

"I just want to learn a few moves or just even one, just so the other women can stop saying things and making fun of me.", Torrie said.

"No one is making fun of you", Stacy said.

"You didn't hear the other women in the locker room. They said I'm just eye candy that Vince likes having around", she said.

"Tell me who said that", Stacy said.

"No, just leave it. It doesn't matter, but I will prove them wrong. That's why I need your help", Torrie said.

Stacy smiled and nodded.

"I can show you a few moves I recently learned for tonight", Stacy said.

Undertaker stood and walked back from the way he came. He didn't want them to know that he overheard them and embarrass her. That was a mistake because he ran right into Vince. He sighed when Vince saw him and walked right to him.

"So, have you thought about what we talked about?", he asked.

"I have, just let me think. I'll tell you by the end of tonight", Taker said.

Vince nodded.

Undertaker was getting ready to interrupt Randy's match, but right now it was a women's match. Lita against Torrie. Everyone knew this was an easy win for Lita, which upset Taker a little bit. He knew they weren't taking Torrie Wilson seriously. He remembered when no one took him seriously and look how he turned out, with a little help of course.

Vince's offer running through his head. His eyes snapped to the screen when two of Kurt Angle's men appeared in the ring, surrounding Torrie. Luther Reigns and Mark Jindrak. They attacked Torrie and before Undertaker could think, he ran out there and helped her. She looked surprised and so did they.

Luther ran towards him first and he clotheslined him before getting into the ring and choke slamming Mark. The crowd cheered and chanted Undertaker. He looked towards Torrie, who was sitting in one of the corners watching the whole thing. She swallowed and wondered why in the world was he out here.

Out of everyone she knew, never in a million year's did she think he would be the one to come out and help her. Taker looked away from her and walked off. He watched her from the top of the ramp. She stood slowly before getting out of the ring and looking underneath. She pulled out a chair and slid it into the ring before getting in herself.

She went over to Mark and the crowd was chanting 'Do It'. She smiled and lifted the chair over her head before hitting Mark with it. The crowd cheered louder as she hit him three more times. She jumped out of the ring and walked over to Luther, doing the same thing to him before tossing the broken chair aside and smirking.

She flipped her hair over her shoulder and looked at Undertaker. He nodded before walking away.

"This looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship", Cole said.

"The question is, can she trust the deadman?", Taz asked.

"He just saved her life, I think she can", Cole said.

"Why did he save her? What does he get or want in return?", Taz asked.

"I advise you to never question Taker's reasons Taz, it's bad", Cole said.

Undertaker was walking towards the lockers when Vince walked over to him and patted his back. A huge smile on the bosses face.

"I'm glad you're on board with this whole tag team thing. Although your choice surprises me, I thought you would have gone after one of the of the other women. You know the ones who can actually wrestle.", Vince said, laughing.

Taker stopped and faced his boss.

"You doubt my abilities to teach her?", he asked.

Vince chuckled and shook his head no.

"Of course not, I just thought you would want someone who is, how do I put this in a nice way. More advanced", Vince said nodding.

"I thought about it, but when it comes to teaching, I want someone who isn't going to question my every move or try to tell me what to do instead of the other way around", Taker said.

Vince nodded.

"Good point", he said.

Vince patted his back.

"Well good luck with her", he said, before walking off.

Taker sighed and rubbed his eyes. What in the hell was he getting into. He was starting to doubt if this was a good idea. What if the girl wasn't teachable and was just naturally untalented in the ring? He wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt.

"Thank you", he heard.

He opened his eyes and turned around. Torrie stood there with a small smile on her face. She looked a bit nervous. She pointed back towards the ring.

"For coming out and helping me", she said.

He nodded.

"It was apart of Vince's plan, apparently", he said.

She nodded.

"I realized that when you came out. I guess he thinks I suck too huh", she said.

"I don't think that's what he meant by it", he said.

She was going to walk away, but stopped. She had to do this now before she let this opportunity get away from her. Turning on her heels, she looked up at him and he raised a brow.

"I know you don't take on people to train, but I was wonder if you would make an exception. I'm a fast learner, determined, and hard working when given the opportunity. I'd just really like to learn from you", she said.

"Why?", he asked.

She hadn't heard about Vince's tag team idea.

"The way you carry yourself in the ring and the way the fans react to you, it's amazing. It's like you command the darkness and use it as a weapon for the light. I want to do that, please teach me.", she said.

He rubbed his chin before looking back at her. She was afraid he was going to say no, she was no one.

"We start next week", he said, before walking away.

"I understand, I", she stopped and watched him walk down the hall.

She smiled and jumped up, a silent cheer.

"Thank you, you won't regret it I promise", she shouted down the hall.

He lifted his hand to wave, before disappearing around the corner. He hoped he made the right decision here and she was so excited that he was taking her on. The Undertaker himself, she reminded herself not to let him down. This was her chance to be something other than eye candy and she wasn't going to blow it.
