~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Monday September 3rd, 2012 Chicago, Illinois (Scarlett's POV)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I smiled at Kamden. After Phil and I had gone a twitter posting spree Kamden and Blaine were sleeper hits with our followers. I had curled my hair and had a Chase Authentics Denny Hamlin Official Replica Uniform Hat on my head. I was also wearing a Chase Authentics Denny Hamlin Adrenaline Total Print t-shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans.
We were a three minutes before the show and Phil wasn't with us. Nadya Ragan was though.
"How do you talk us into these things?" Nadya asked.
"Because I love you guys." I answered with a smile as I stood. I was wearing a pair of black leather Lane Boots Stud Rocker. Nadya shook her head.
"Mommy?" Kamden asked.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Can we go home tonight?" Kamden asked. I smiled at him. Kamden had been on the road with Phil and I or he'd been going to the tracks with Clint the night before the races happened.
"I will speak with Dad and see what he says." I said as the show started. I heard Cole talking about Jerry so I looked at the screen to see Phil attacking Jerry.
"Uh." I said. Figures he would casually forget to mention that. I looked at him when he walked in.
"Not a word." Phil said.
"Fine. Um are we going home tonight?" I asked. Phil looked from me to Kamden.
"Yeah we'll swing home for the night." Phil replied.
"Yay." Kamden said.
"Come on." Phil said as he grabbed his belt and left. I waved and followed after him. I didn't know where we were going.
I did when we reached gorilla. I looked at the monitor to see Sheamus was in the ring with Ashley and Blake.
They hit Punk's music and we walked out. I smiled as the crowd erupted into a CM Punk chant as we stood there. I loved hometowns. Since Punk wasn't wearing wrist tape I'd taken Kamden's picture and tapped it to the inside of his shirt. I followed Punk as he walked back and forth across the stage. I stayed on his left side. Ah I loved the voices.
I smiled when he told Sheamus to not come out to try to talk to his hometown. I listened as he talked. He crouched down and I followed suit next to him. He talked about his attack on Jerry. He mentioned Jerry attacking him from behind. He stood and I stood with him.
"Can I get Chicago style?" I whispered in his ear. Punk winked at me as he kept talking. He called Cena a White Knight and the crowd booed. The boos got worse when he actually said John's name. I looked down at the belt when he dropped it. I smiled as Punk kept talking to his crowd. He casually draped his left arm around my shoulders to hold me to him. We circled back to disrespect. Punk removed his arm and bent down to get his belt and talked about disrespect some more.
"Ouch." I said when Punk said that Cena had turned his back on the WWE Universe. I nodded my head. Sheamus interrupted and the crowd booed him.
I raised an eyebrow when Sheamus threw Punk's Rock comment at him and basically said Punk had no guts because he was on the stage and not in the ring.
I wasn't surprised when Punk called Sheamus a goon and the second best in the world.
"Someone has lost their mind." I whispered. Sheamus said that Punk was talking out of his arse and Punk was responding when AJ walked out. I turned to face her with Punk.
I snuggled up to Punk's side under his arm. She made Del Rio vs Cena and a champion vs. Champion. Sheamus against Punk. I shook my head as she went to go skip around the ring. She skipped past me and I looked at her. Ashley moved to stand up by Sheamus and the two of us locked eyes with each other.
Punk and I left. We walked into the locker room and Nadya left.
"You'll be back right?" I asked.
"Course." Nadya said. I smiled at her.
"So Mr. Hometown boy you have something planned for tonight don't you?" I asked.
"Yes. You probably won't like it though." He replied.
"Phil what is going on?" I asked. Sometimes I made the mistake of not asking where his storylines were going.
"The two of us get to work with Heyman." He said. I resisted the urge to make any move. Maybe I should pay more attention to what he has going on. I said nothing as I sat in a chair.
"And when does this start?" I asked.
"Tonight." Phil answered. I sighed.
"Great just great. I have to tolerate that man out there now. Just remember who is more important." I said. Kamden moved onto my lap as Randy tossed Dolph out of the ring.
"Daddy why aren't you getting ready?" Kamden asked.
"Because I'm not working tonight." Phil answered. That was news to me, but I knew better than to comment.
"Can I get a kitty and a puppy?" Kamden asked. I looked at Kamden and then at Phil.
"Yes. We'll get Blaine a kitten and a puppy too." Phil said. I raised an eyebrow and smiled at him. He was doing what I'm doing. Given the boys any and everything they want. Then again we'd be plotting this for long before Kamden asked. We watched as Dolph won his match against Randy and the Miz joined in for commentary.
We see Bryan and Kane in Anger Management class. They're showing their anger collages. Bryan's is covered with yes and no. A lot of them. Kane holds up a blank piece of paper. Kane ended up putting his paper in a garbage can and having it erupt with fire like the turnbuckles do. Bryan calls him a teacher's pet.
We have Rey and Sin Cara with Apolinaria vs. Tensai and Cody Rhodes with Megan. We watch until Cole tells us that Jerry is dealing with chest pains and can't commentate tonight.
"That isn't good." I muse. We watch as Sin Cara and Rey pick up the win. We go back to anger management classes and we get a trust fall. Bryan goes first and Kane catches him. Bryan and Kane are then tasked to catch Harold. Only they let Harold fall to the ground. Bryan and Kane share a moment where Bryan says that he thinks he finally understands Kane.
Nadya walks in and Phil and I walk out. I fastened Phil's belt around his waist as Sheamus came out with Ashley and Brent. We walked toward gorilla.
We reached gorilla. They hit Punk's music and the crowd went nuts.
"And his opponent weighing 218 lbs being accompanied by Scarlett Punk he is the WWE Champion Chicago's own CM Punk." Justin announced. We walked down the ramp and I saw Sheamus's look of confusion because Punk was in street clothes. We stood on the apron before we got into the ring. Punk asked for a mike.
I smiled and listened to Punk. He started talking about how Chicago understands him and respects him. He calls this match a Wrestlemania main event. That he's a main event wrestler. That you don't parade him out at the eight o'clock hour because he happens to be from Chicago. He mentions that it's Labor Day and we leave. He helps me out of the ring. We walked up the ramp as Chicago boos? I can't really tell.
I heard Sheamus on the mike, but we didn't turn around. This was an interesting twist. We walk until AJ stops us. We tell her we're taking personal days. I look at Nadya to see she was seated in the car with Kamden.
"How did you know we were doing this?" I asked.
"I'm crafty." Nadya said. The car stopped so that Nadya could get out because she was running commentary. I raised an eyebrow as I looked at the driver to see it was Paul. I said nothing as Paul moved the car until we found a place where we could finish watching RAW.
I saw Alberto, Apolinaria, Adelita, Almira, and Ricardo ringside to watch Sheamus against Jack with Adrianna and Knox.
Miz was badmouthing Punk, but that wasn't anything new for him. We watched as Sheamus had firm control. Swagger dodges a move and went for the Gutwrench, but it did work. Swagger actually ended up with a two count at one point. Sheamus locked in Texas Clover Leaf and won. Alberto does not look happy.
We waited and watched as Alberto and Ricardo hit the ring. Alberto was doing well until Sheamus turned it around on him. It was then Ricardo got involved. Alberto ended up getting White Noise for his trouble. Sheamus was lining up for the Brogue Kick, but Ricardo took it instead. Apolinaria left her daughters and hurried over to go check on Alberto. That was a wife's response not a mother's. I would probably do the same thing. Alberto got back into the ring and checked on Ricardo. Alberto was yelling his name not that it helped.
"I do not want to be on the receiving end of that kick." I said.
"Then stay away from it." Phil said. I nodded my head. Alberto was a good man because he was actually checking on Ricardo.
Eve Torres walked out and I shivered.
"No one trusts her." I muttered. There was only one reason I hoped it was December and that was to kick Eve's ass. We watched Kaitlyn came out. We showed a recap of the battle royal that Kaitlyn won to face Harper Ragan for her belt.
I smiled when "Woo Woo Woo You Know It" played closely followed by "Sexy Chick". I watched as Harper walked down the ramp and joined them on commentary to watch this match. Harper got into a verbal argument with Miz about how Eve has set the Divas division back and how he needs a personal day.
Harper doesn't believe that Eve has turned over a new leaf. Harper and Miz continued arguing. Harper called Miz a phony. Cole hardly got a word in. I shook my head when Eve took advantage to Kaitlyn's moment.
Harper and Miz continued arguing. Eve got out of the ring and approached Harper. Harper got up and was defensive immediately. Harper looked down at Eve when she offered her hand out to Harper. Harper told Miz to shut up and stay out of it and Harper shook Eve's hand.
"Don't trust her baby." I whispered. AJ walked up to Jack, Adrianna, and Knox. Jack and Adrianna said they were taking extended time off. They continued walking and AJ looked a little sad.
We get another Anger Management thing where Kane and Bryan sort of got along, but they start to argue which freaks the counselor out.
Cole announces via twitter vote that the fans can decide what Kane and Bryan will do tonight. They can wrestle, be a tag team, or hug it out.
Matt is then with both Del Rios. David walks out of the room and takes both of the Del Rios back into the training room.
"Okay then." I said.
We have Jinder vs. Ryback. Ryback ends up winning. Still not shocking. Kamden had snuggled up to my side. Matt was at AJ's office. AJ came out very pissed off. Matt was trying to get an interview. She told him to tell Cena and Del Rio that their match was a Falls Count Anywhere match.
Daniel came out with Cynthia. Kane came out. We relived Kane's attack of Josh Matthews. The voting ends and the fans voted for them to hug it out. It takes forever, but they eventually hug. They even shake hands. Kane pats Bryan on the shoulder hard, so Bryan returns the favor. It continues until they brawl. Cynthia had luckily bailed from the ring when the pats on the shoulders started.
"Mommy will everything turn out okay?" Kamden asked.
"What are you talking about Kamden?" I asked.
"Will this thing Daddy's doing with the creepy guy work out?" Kamden asked. I used a cough to cover my laugh.
"Yes because I'm going to be right there." I said. I watched Kane chokeslam Bryan and put a chair around Daniel's head. Kane was going to the top, but Bryan used the chair and bailed the hell out of the ring with Cynthia next to him.
We watched as Santino and Antonio Cesaro came out. Antonio had Aksana with him. It went back and forth and Santino had his Cobra only for Antonio to pick up the win.
"Yawn we want Ryder." I said.
"Sh Scarlett." Phil said. Heath came out with Carrie and then Zack came out with Alli Diana Chance. Alli came out with a smile on her face. I was surprised that Miz actually supported Zack. I watched as the two went back and forth. Zack wasn't going to give up though. It was Zack. He wasn't going to give up for anything.
I felt that Zack should still be United States Champion, but there was no point in crying over what Laurinitis had done months ago. I was glad Laurinitis was gone actually. Zack fired out of the gate and here came the Broski Boot. Slater blocked the Rough Ryder though. Zack got the Rough Ryder though and won.
"Woo woo you know it." I said until Vickie came out and ruined it. Alli Diana had gotten into the ring and was going to celebrate with him, but they left the ring instead. Vickie said she wasn't leaving the ring until AJ came out. She demanded a chair.
I was so glad we were gone. I would show Vickie what was on my mind if I was cleared to wrestle. Sadly I wouldn't be until December. Vickie was still in the ring and started complaining about AJ. She was pissed about the Dolph Ziggler briefcase thing. She was also pissed because of the slap and the attack AJ went on.
"Heck we're used to AJ attacking people." I said.
"Vickie we know who you are, but get off your high horse." I said. Vickie started to berate a chair.
"Mommy she's talking to a chair." Kamden said.
"I know baby. We have weird co-workers." I said as AJ came out. AJ mentions how she's not supposed to put her hands on anyone ever again. AJ apologized. Vickie asked if she was apologizing for being a bad GM or for the way that she treated her? Vickie demands that AJ apologize to her right now. AJ apologizes. Vickie wasn't happy with it though.
"Complain complain. Nothing is good enough for her." I mused. AJ apologized again. AJ finds herself slapped across the face by Vickie.
"Whoa no one gets to slap AJ but me." I said.
"Scarlett." Phil warned.
"Oh right not me. We don't have to work together anymore." I said. AJ went like she was going to attack, but Vickie taunted her with not being able to touch her.
"You don't provoke a crazy person." I said. Vickie slaps her again. I shook my head as Vickie got out of the ring and skipped up the ramp.
"She should not skip. Ever." I said.
"Agreed." Kamden said. We watched as AJ tossed the mike down and threw the poor steel chair around. AJ picked up the steel chair and hit the mat a couple of times with it as she screamed. She then tossed the chair out of the ring and up the ramp.
"Breakdown alert. Breakdown alert." I said.
"Thank you Scarlett we see that." Phil said. I shot him a look as we watched her. A part of me felt bad for her. Even through all the crap she's put Phil through. Not to mention what she put me through. We got to relive Punk and me leaving. We get to see the rundown of the card for Night of Champions.
Cena's music hits and it's time for the final main event. Cena was so strange. Cena gets into the ring and Alberto's music hits. Alberto comes out in his car and I notice that he's alone. Apolinaria isn't with him. It seems to be a good thing considering it's a falls count anywhere match. It was then I realized that we'd started moving again.
"What else do you have planned?" I asked.
"You just need to stand there for it." Phil replied.
"Um I'm not leaving Kamden all alone with Paul." I said.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Paul asked.
"That I don't trust you." I answered.
"Then get Nadya to sit here then." Phil said. I pulled my phone out and sent Nadya a quick text. I watched as the two of them went back and forth. I saw Cena eye Alberto's car and knew this wasn't going to be good. He grabbed a speaker and Alberto cut him off. We followed them to the back. They weren't being kind to each other. Paul pulled into a parking spot and Phil and I got out for Nadya to slid in.
I inclined my head to her as I followed Punk. Punk nailed John with a kick to the head. I smiled and watched as he put Del Rio on top and Del Rio won. The ref nicked Punk in the head.
Punk gave Cena a GTS over the top of the car. Punk went and opened the back door for me before he got in. Nadya snuck out as I got in. The car inches forward and Paul sticks his head out the window like an idiot.
"Way to go Paul make them hate us already." I said.
"Shut up." He said. I didn't like that, but I wisely didn't comment. Phil and I would be having words about this later. Paul took us home and I got Kamden in while Phil talked with him.
"Mommy what is going on?" Blaine asked.
"I have no idea honestly. Blaine just please get ready for bed. You have school in the morning." I answered with a sigh.
"Nice to see you two actually know where home is." Rob said.
"Rob. Don't freaking go there." I said as I sent him a glare.
"Right not a good idea to antagonize a mom. Especially one that is pregnant." Rob said. I looked at Phil as he walked in with the bags.
"You've already been asked questions haven't you?" Phil asked.
"You think?" I asked.
"We'll make it through we always do." Phil said.
"We better." I said. From there it was a flurry of activity to get everyone in bed and prep Rob on the fact that he would also have to help take care of a few pets.
