The Bash: June 28, 2009

The Bash...I'm defending my championship against Michelle tonight. Maryse casually puts her arm around my shoulders. I look at her.

"Don't be nervous, Rissa." She says. "Eve and I got your back."

"I know, but I'm still nervous." I reply.

"I don't blame you; I'm just trying to take away some of that nervousness."

"I understand."

Eve runs up to us. "Someone got tired of Michelle's posse being shitty towards all the other Divas."

"What?"

"Someone attacked Mickie and Rosa. No one knows who did it."

"I hope that isn't too...distracting for Michelle." I say sarcastically.

"Maybe it will."


We walk into the boys's locker-room. They all turn to us.

"Well...hi." Maryse says.

"Hi, girls." Randy says as he pulls me into a hug. "You're nervous, Marissa."

I look up at him. "Is it that noticeable?"

"Yes." Ted says. Maryse smacks him. "What?"

"Don't tell her that." She scolds.

"It isn't that bad." Cody says.

"Thanks, Cody." I say. "I like you better."

The rest of us chuckle at Ted, who looks offended. Maryse drags him out the door. Eve and Cody soon follow.

"It's pretty noticeable. Sit down and calm down."

"Something's up. I feel it." I say admitting the truth to Randy.

"Oh calm down, Marissa. Even if you do lose, you have a rematch clause plus your birthday is Thursday. You'll be fine."

"Okay, if you can remember how old I'll be, I'll try to calm down."

"You'll be twenty-seven. I've known you for fifteen years. How old am I?"

"You're right. You're twenty-nine, Randy. I remember."

"Your match is next. Come on; I'll walk you down to the guerilla."

I grab my jacket, and we head to the guerilla.


"This match is scheduled for on fall and is for the WWE Women's Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, being accompanied to the ring by Alicia Fox and Layla, from Palatka, Florida, Michelle McCool!"

She walks down to the ring and does her regular entrance.

I know I want that girl so bad

I lie awake at night

And think of all the things that I would do

With a girl like that…

I give Randy a quick kiss before heading out there.

"And her opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Eve Torres and Maryse, from Saint Louis, Missouri, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

I hand the referee my title, and he holds the title up for everyone to see.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Michelle and I lock up immediately. I push her into a corner and slap her on the chest multiple times, the crowd made sound effects each time. She punches me in the face. I move away from her.

I was not looking and got hit with a clothesline by Michelle. She pulls me up by my hair and slaps me. In that moment, something snaps inside me. Michelle must have realized it, as she ran for the ropes.

I pulled her back by her hair. She tried hitting me in the face again, but I reversed it and lifted her up on my shoulders. I hit my Picture Perfect finisher on her. I go for a pin.

1...2..kickout!

She kicks out and rolls towards the ropes. I drag her over to the middle of the ring, and she nails me in the face. She keeps hitting me, but I eventually get back in control. I go for an RKO, but she reverses it and hits me with a Big Boot. She goes for a pin.

1.. !

Michelle pulls me up and I successfully hit a RKO (outta nowhere). She rolls off to the side and Alicia goes to check on her. I go to pull her back, but she hits me with brass knuckles as Layla distracts the referee. She pins me.

1...2...3!

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

I lost. Maryse and Eve pull out of the ring and head backstage. I'm still in disbelief. She beat me, but not in a clean manner. I'll be getting my payback.
