Chapter 10

Raw 6/25/2012: Week 2 as John's manager, Fort Wayne, Indiana.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at this time in the ring: Trish Stratus," Lilian said.

I smiled as I stood in the ring. Raw had just come back from a commercial break. John had taken to his Twitter account earlier in the day and said he had a very special announcement.

The fans were going crazy as I was in the ring.

"Wow, what a great crowd tonight," I said. "It is great to be standing in a WWE ring again. I know it has been way too long."

"That's for sure," King said.

"For those of you, who do not know, the WWE Board of Directors has in-stated me to be the manager of my favorite WWE Superstar, my husband, John Cena!"

John's music hit. There was a mix of boos and cheers. He walked out from behind the curtain. He stopped at the top of the ramp. He did his salute, ran down the ramp, and slipped into the ring. I was clapping. John walked over and grabbed a microphone.

"Look who we have here," John said. I smiled. "Fort Wayne, Indiana, we have the former 7-time WWE Women's Champion: Trish Stratus in the ring."

Cheers came from the fans.

"That's right, Trish Stratus is back. And for those of you who still do not know, this lovely lady is my new manger. Trish and the board had been working out a deal for weeks on an agreement for my wife to come back as my manager. I'm not the only one whose wife is involved in this business. That is a special shout out to you, Triple H and Stephanie." John winked.

"But that's beside the point; I came out here to make an announcement. But you know what; I'm going to let my manager/wife make the announcement for me."

I smiled. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, for the first time ever, my hot and sexy husband, John Cena will be entering himself in the Money in the Bank Match. The reason why John is entering that match is because of this."

I pointed to the Titantron. Footage was shown from Friday Night SmackDown on June 22. This footage was of Big Show. He said he was going to be in the Money in the Bank Match, cash in the briefcase and then be the WWE Champion for a very long time.

"I am entering myself in the Money in the Bank Match," John said. "So Big Show can not win it and be a dominating WWE Champion for a long time. Plus it has been a year since I was WWE Champion."

The lights went out suddenly. Break the walls down…

The lights came back on and there was Chris Jericho. The fans were cheering. John and I both stood in the ring.

"Well, isn't that cute, Trish Stratus and John Cena?" Jericho said. "Actually, no, it isn't cute! It is just sickening. It is also sickening that you, Cena are putting yourself in the Money in the Bank Match. You see, unlike you, I have been in plenty of Money in the Bank matches. I created Money in the Bank."

"How many of those matches have you actually won, Jericho?" I asked. "I might have retired to become a wife and mother, but I have kept tabs on pretty much all the matches. If my calculations are correct, you have never won any."

Jericho laughed. "That's quite fine, Trish. Say what you want to say. John's not the only one entering himself in the Money in the Bank matchup! I'm entering myself as well!"

Cheers came from the fans.

"Excuse me?"

I looked at the ramp and saw Vickie Guerrero. Fans were booing.

"I said, 'Excuse me?'" Vickie said. "In case, you have forgotten, I am the Interim General Manager. Superstars can not just go entering themselves into the Money in the Bank matches. The Board of Directors has issued me to make an announcement regarding the Money in the Bank matches. The Money in the Bank Match for the WWE Championship is open to former WWE Champions only. Those former WWE Champions who will compete are John Cena…"

"Excellent choice," I said.

"…Chris Jericho," Vickie continued.

The fans cheered. Jericho smirked.

"…Big Show and Kane," Vickie finished.

"That's great. Very great," John said. "Always invest in the Board of Directors ideas, Vickie."

Vickie laughed. "Sorry to disappoint you, John. But I am the GM for tonight and SmackDown this week, so I have my own ideas. Tonight you will be in a match. You will take on Chris Jericho."

The fans cheered. Jericho looked into the ring at John with a smirk.

"Great matchup," Cole said.

John shrugged it off. Vickie Guerrero disappeared into the back.

After this segment, Jericho, John, and I were all in the back talking. Jericho stepped out of his character and into his real person: Chris Irvine.

"I'm really glad you are back, Trish," Chris said.

"Thanks," I said. "I'm glad you are back. You need to bring Ash around. Nate is terrorizing Aurora and Murphy thinks he's hilarious."

Chris chuckled. "Yes, I heard he likes Aurora instead of Alanna now."

"Yeah," John said. "My boy's a ladies' man."

"Yes, well, I'll see what I can do. It is summer, so Jessica and the kids could come. We also need to get together when we are not on the road too."

Chris, his wife, Jessica and their three kids live in Tampa, Florida just like John and I do. Tampa is a very popular place for most of the wrestlers to live. FCW is also located there, so most wrestlers within the WWE start out at FCW until they get the call to come make their official WWE debut.

"I know," I said. "Elena would love to have some fun with Cheyenne and Sierra. I also haven't seen Jessica in forever either."

"We should make plans for this week," Chris said.

"Give us a call whenever," John said. "I'll see you out in the ring, though."

"Yeah, I need to go change. See you both later."

We all went in separate directions.

When it came to John and Chris's match, we all headed to the ring. Chris went out to the ring first. Then John and I came out. I did commentary with King and Cole again.

"Well, hello, again, Trish," King said.

"Hi King," I said.

"I am so glad you are back!"

"Oh, thank you, but let's see John kick some butt, shall we?"

John delivered a Knuckle Shuffle on Jericho when Show's music suddenly hit.

Well…

"Big Show," King said.

"What the hell?" I said.

John looked at the ramp. He went for an AA on Jericho. Jericho got out of it and got him into the Walls of Jericho. Show made his way down to the ring. I was distracted.

Jericho had John in the middle of the ring in the Walls of Jericho. Show climbed into the ring.

"What the hell is he doing?" I said.

Show laid a leg drop on John. That ended up getting Jericho disqualified. John won the match, because of it.

Jericho and Show just looked at each other. Jericho climbed out of the ring. Show looked at Jericho leaving. Show then looked at me. He smiled. He waved at me. I just glared at him.

"Well, Big Show eyeing Trish," Cole said.

John was getting to his feet. Show suddenly grabbed hold of him. He then laid a Chokeslam on him.

Big Show looked at me again. He turned John onto his stomach in the ring facing the commentary table. Show stood over John. He then got down and put the Colossal Clutch on John. It was basically pulling at John's head back with his hands in a grip. Big Show looked at me the whole time he did it. This was where Raw went off the air…
