Taker had found out from Michelle that Trish was going to explain herself on why she attacked Torrie. She felt bad that she talked more than she should have in the locker room. She didn't mean for Torrie to get hurt, that's why she let him know what Trish was planning.
He knew that would be Torrie's chance to attack Trish.
"What if the fans don't react the way they should to me?", she asked.
"They'll be shocked, of course. They've never seen you like this before.", he said.
She nodded and trusted his words. He knew more about this than she did after all.
"You think JBL or Orlando might come out to help her?", she asked.
"If they do, I'll be out there in a heartbeat, trust me. I wouldn't leave you out there to fend for yourself", he said.
She nodded as they heard Trish's music hit. They watched from a screen in the back.
"I attacked Taker's protégé, why? Because she wants something that doesn't belong to her. I mean really, have you all seen her wrestle", Trish said, before laughing.
"She's not giving Torrie enough credit", Taz said.
"Torrie Wilson? Not enough credit? She's giving her more than enough, I don't think the deadman can train Torrie in twenty four hours.", Cole said.
"See, there's talent, which I'm at the top and then there's Torrie Wilson, at the bottom of the barrel, useless. She actually thinks Undertaker can help her, trust me, he's a lot of things, but he's not a miracle worker", Trish said.
Torrie's music played and Trish smirked, looking towards the ramp, ready for her. Her smirk disappeared when Taker was the one who walked out. Trish turned only to get clotheslined by Torrie. Torrie stood and grabbed Trish by her hair, standing her up and throwing her across the ring.
She walked over to Trish and lifted her up again. Pulling her towards the middle of the ring and smiling to the crowd.
"I'll show you all", she shouted, before doing a neckbreaker on Trish.
She sat up and grabbed the mic Trish dropped.
"You want me to work my way up to you, then I will and when I get to you, you'll be sorry you ever misjudged me", Torrie said, before dropping the mic and climbing out of the ring.
She walked up the ramp to Taker, who was smirking proudly. They stood at the top and looked down on Trish who was slowly getting up. Her hand on the back of her neck.
Taker turned and Torrie followed.
"Was that ok?", Torrie asked him.
He nodded.
"That was good, you did everything perfectly", he said.
They could hear yelling coming from down the hall. It was getting closer and they both knew who it was. Trish.
"You, you little", Taker cut her off.
"Watch your language", Taker warned.
Torrie kept her head held high, don't show fear. He had told her and so she wasn't going to. Trish looked from him to Torrie.
"You aren't coming near my title, ever. You aren't even worth giving a match too. The only reason they do is because all those men need something to look at", Trish said, trying to hurt Torrie.
They'll say things to hurt you, thick skin, don't let them cut through it.
Her mentor's words playing in her head.
"So you're saying I'm prettier than you", Torrie said, crossing her arms over her chest with a smirk.
Taker glanced at her. Her confidence was stronger now, usually she would have just backed away and apologized. Not anymore. Trish took a step towards her and without thinking so did Torrie.
"I'm not that pathetic woman who's going to let someone like you walk all over her. Not anymore, so watch your back Trish, because when it's time. I'm coming for that title", Torrie said.
"What's going on here?", Hunter asked as he reached the group around Torrie and Trish.
"Just having a little discussion Hunter", JBL said.
Hunter looked between all of them. He nodded, understanding that this had to do with Torrie attacking Trish.
"Then talk about it in the ring, not in the halls. Tag team match tonight, you'll be the main event. Trish and JBL against Taker and Torrie", Hunter said, before walking away.
"Let's go Torrie, we've got what we came for", Taker said.
"You knew he would make a match for tonight. You knew Trish would go after Torrie, you planned this", JBL said.
Taker smirked.
"I get what I want JBL, I am champion after all.", Taker said, patting the title on his shoulder.
"You're sick and twisted", Taker cut him off.
"You're just noticing. Sleep with one eye open", he looked from JBL to Trish.
They looked a bit terrified.
"The both of you and never underestimate my teaching", Taker said, before walking passed them.
Torrie wiggled her fingers in a wave and followed him.
They were waiting for their match to start. Taker noticed her nervousness.
"Relax. Just breath, you've got this", he said.
"I know, I've just never been in one of these matches before, it's crazy", she said.
He nodded, understanding.
"Get use to it, because you'll be in these matches for as long as you want, just remember to know that this is where you belong. At the top", he said.
She nodded.
"And I'm proud of you, for sticking up for yourself when Trish talked down to you and when she stepped up to you.", he said.
"No fear", she said.
He smiled softly and nodded.
"No fear", he repeated.
Her music played and he tilted his head for her to walk out.
"See you out there partner", she said.
He sent a small nod.
"Who would have thought we would ever see one of these matches Cole. The Deadman and his protégé against the women's champion and a washed up champion.", Taz said.
"JBL isn't washed up, he's hurt. Can't you see he's in pain", Cole said.
JBL kept saying that he was still hurt and didn't want to start the match. Trish rolled her eyes.
"I'll start you big baby", she said to him.
"This is all you Torrie", Taker whispered to her.
She nodded and stood in the middle of the ring. Trish in front of her before they rang the bell and Trish hit Torrie with a cheap shot. The crowd booed. Trish laughed. Torrie quickly stood and did a DDT on Trish. The crowd cheered, that was a reaction Torrie has never had before.
As Trish stood, Torrie climbed to the top rope and did a diving crossbody on Trish. She went for the pin but only got the two.
"Its ok, you've got this", she heard Taker say.
She lifted Trish up to do a neckbreaker, but Trish got out of it and did a backbreaker on Torrie. Trish went for the pin, but Torrie jumped up. She reached out for Taker's hand. Trish grabbed her by the ankles and pulled her away from him.
"I don't think so", she yelled.
She lifted Torrie up and did a spinebuster. Taker knew Trish had the upper hand right now. Torrie was still new to all these new moves. Torrie tried to stand, but Trish slapped her.
"Come on, I thought you were going to beat me. Come on", Trish yelled.
Torrie grabbed Trish and rolled her to a pin, but Trish jumped up before the ref got to two. Torrie jumped towards Taker and slapped his hand. Trish walked over to her corner and slapped JBL on the shoulder.
He kept shaking his head no.
"Get in there", Trish yelled.
He glared at her and got in. Taker smirked. Before Taker could attack JBL, Orlando slid in and hit Taker with a chair. The ref called the match, ringing the bell. JBL got out of the ring and Orlando was going to hit Taker with the chair again. Torrie climbed in and grabbed the chair, pulling it out of Orlando's hands.
He turned to face her and she pushed it into his stomach. He hunched over and crawled out of the ring before she could hit him with it. JBL helped Orlando up, Trish beside him as she held the title up. Torrie went over to Taker and helped him up.
"Those were cheap shots from Trish and Orlando. I don't think the deadman took too kindly to that, JBL is a dead man walking.", Taz said.
"I have to agree with you, there's only so much Orlando can do to help JBL before Undertaker turns his fury on Orlando himself.", Cole said.
Torrie helped Taker sit once they were backstage.
"Do you need anything?", she asked.
He shook his head no.
"Remind me to teach you how to counter cheap shots like that", Taker said.
She nodded.
"Honestly, I forgot about Orlando. I was so excited because this was your first real match.", he said.
She smiled.
"Me too", she said.
"Your diving crossbody was perfect. Well done", he said.
"Should we plan something for next SmackDown? I want to get them back for this", she said.
"I know you do, so do I. Let me think and I'll let you know before next week", he said.
