Judgment Day
Maria's entrance music blared throughout the ring. Crowds cheered as they saw the ever perky Maria at the ramp, blowing kisses to everyone. She made her way to the ring and rested her hands on her knees, waiting for her opponent to come. This is it. She thought. The day she has been anxiously waiting. She had trained with Beth for a month, practising what they would do. Women's Champion. Oh my, imagine all those autograph signings! Gold around my waist. My moment of glory. She smirked. Not long after, her music faded, and was replaced with Beth Phoenix's music. Her opponent came out, her muscles were shown, power evident in her form. She held her belt up for everyone to see. The belt that she knew was going to Maria. It's not the end. No, not at all. She thought. In this business, it only ends when you're fired. She sat on one of the ring posts and raised her belt up again. She handed it to the referee and tumbled her way down and landed on her feet. The ref handed her belt back.
She stood face to face with Maria who was about a meter an a half away. The bell rang so Lilian can introduce the competitors.
"This match is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the WWE Women's championship." She paused to hear the cheers of the crowds. "Introducing the challenger, from Chicago, Illinois, MARIA!" Maria raised her hands up to the cheering audience. "And from Buffalo, New York, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Beth Phoenix the GLAMAZON!" She held her belt up for everyone to see, taunting Maria. A mixture of cheers and jeers were heard. Then, once again, Beth handed her belt to the referee. Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross were saying something about how Maria never beat Beth and if she could overcome Beth tonight. And so the bell rang.
The competitors circled around each other and soon they locked up. Beth, the more powerful of the two, pushed her to the floor. Maria got up immediately and locked up again. This time, Beth pushed her to the corner. Beth slowly walked to Maria, and she wasn't quick enough to block the punches that Maria showered upon her. Maria kicked her side and Beth bent down in pain. Maria didn't stop kicking her, but soon enough, Beth got hold of her foot. She threw her foot down and lunged at Maria. Maria then evaded her. She tried to end the match early and attempted a roll-up, but Beth was too strong to be knocked down. Since Maria was on the floor, and Beth was standing up, Beth stomped her foot on Maria's stomach. Beth picked her up and pushed her to the ropes. Bouncing back, Maria received a clothesline. Then, Beth slammed her to the corner. Things weren't looking good for Maria. She was pummelled to the ground and Beth was acting smug. Beth pulled her to the middle of the ring and went for the pin, but Maria kicked out just in time. Beth went on beating her up, she was dominant. It came to the point that she messed up a move, and gave Maria the opportunity to gain some momentum. For a more or less brief period in their match, Maria threw her most powerful punches, kicks and the crowd believed there was still a chance for her to win. She didn't rest, for Beth might get up again. She performed a bulldog on Beth and went for the pin. Beth lifted her shoulder at 2 and a half. Seeing that Beth couldn't get up yet, Maria quickly went to the corner and stood on the top rope. Then she waited.
Beth stood up, acting dizzy. Maria propped herself and she left the rope, giving Beth a very powerful crossbody.
"Oh my gawd, JR! Did you see that?" Jerry Lawler spoke through his headset, amazed that Maria knocked Beth down with a beautiful execution of a crossbody.
"Oh yes, I did King. Maria is giving all she has to get that title. I'm amazed that she lasted this long in the match." J.R. replied.
Again, Maria went for the pin, and when they all thought she was about to win Beth kicked out. Maria pulled Beth into a vertical position and Beth took this as an opportunity to attack. Beth gained enough momentum to perform a suplex on Maria and pinned her. Maria kicked out, not wanting to give up. Beth carried Maria on her shoulders and attempted to throw her face first to the top turnbuckle. But Maria got off Beth quickly and pushed Beth instead, and Beth crashed to the ring post. Maria pulled Beth by the hair and hit her face on the turn buckle. She gave Beth kicks to the side. Beth pushed her to the ropes, but she rammed in to Beth causing her to move a few steps backward. She did a move she learned from Mickie, which made Beth fall. She bounced back from the ropes and gave a Bulldog to Beth just as Beth stood up. She waited for Beth to stand up again and prepared for a DDT. Beth countered by raising her up and Beth positioned so she can execute the move right. Maria lunged forward making Beth lose her balance and Maria went for a roll-up. I'm gonna win. She kept thinking to herself over and over. 1... 2... 3!! The bell rang and the match was over. Maria released Beth and jumped up and down and around the ring. The audience stood up and cheers echoed all around the arena. Her eyes began to water and as soon as the belt was given to her she hugged it tight and she was down on her knees.
"Here is your winner, and the NEW WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPION, MARIA!!"
She smiled the biggest smile the world has ever seen from her. She walked around the ring and walked up the ramp. She gave some fans high fives and she kept looking back at the ring where Beth was. The look on Beth's face was priceless. Shocked and angry at the same time. She blew the fans one last kiss before walking to gorilla position.
Behind the cameras, she was greeted by the Divas who cuddled in for a group hug. They were squealing. Soon Beth joined in on the hug. They were friends in real life. Nothing was going to change that.
"Maria, you were great out there. You too, Beth. Both of you were awesome. Maria, oh my gosh!" Mickie said as she hugged her friend.
"This is your moment, Ree. You're gonna shine." Candice said hugging with Mickie.
"Guys, thanks. But really, I need to go to the locker room. My feet are killing me. I still have a segment to do later." Maria requested.
"C'mon. We'll go with you." Melina said. The other Divas were nodding.
...
A few more matches went by and the Titantron showed backstage. The camera showed John Cena walking one way, and he passed by Maria. They met face to face. At the same time, Maria goes to her left while John goes to his right. Both moved the opposite way again, so they met face to face again. "Hey Maria. Congratulations on your match earlier! Women's Champion, mm mm mm." He said while nodding. It was obvious that it was an excuse to check her out. John once again moves to his right but this time, Maria stayed in her place. As John moved forward, Maria turned around. "Good luck in your
match, John." She says, making John smile. "Thanks." And he went away. The camera zooms in on Maria, admiring her newly won Championship belt hanging on her shoulder and making quick glances to where John headed.
...
The Titantron showed a video of John Cena with his pectoral muscle injured, and next showing how Chris Jericho won the title. Then it fast forwarded to Backlash, John's return and the punches Chris and John threw to each other and an exchange of words between the two throughout the period between Backlash and Judgment Day. And then the video ended and the focus of the camera was on the ramp.
John Cena's music started playing. Some cheered, some booed. He came out and did his stuff. The bell rang and Lilian Garcia's voice was heard once again.
"This match is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the WWE Championship. Introducing the challenger from West Newbury, Massachusetts, weighing 240 lb, John Cena!"
John went in the ring and did the "I-want-my-belt-back" action and threw his shirt to the fans, like he always does and he waited for Chris Jericho. It didn't take long before the first words of his entrance theme played and the figure of a man with his arms raised sideward showed.
"And making his way to the ring from Manhasset, New York, weighing 225 lb, the WWE Champion, Chris Jericho!"
As soon as Chris Jericho walked in the ring, he handed his belt to the ref and the bell rang. They circled each other before locking up. Soon Y2J had John Cena in a head lock. John pushed him to the ropes but as soon as Y2J bounced off them, he pushed Cena to the floor. Cena got up and punched him, but he received more punches than he gave from Y2J. When he was propped up in the corner, he kicked Jericho to the stomach and Y2J staggered back. Cena went near Jericho, only to be thrown to the ropes. He ducked as Jericho got ready to give him a clothesline and he bounced back to give a clothesline of his own. With Jericho knocked down, he covered him up. At 1, Y2J's shoulder went up, and the match continued. Both Superstars were at a vertical position throwing punches to each other. This time, Jericho threw Cena to the ring and successfully executed a hip kick to Cena. Cena rolled out of the ring and Chris Jericho followed. He fell into Cena's trap and as soon as his feet touched the floor, Cena took him down and started giving him punches. Cena picked Y2J by the hair and rolled him in the ring and when he entered, he was greeted with a foot to his chest. A few more stomps followed and pinned Cena, resulting only to a mere near fall. The match continued as Cena stood up and pushed Y2J to the ring post and hitting Y2J's head with his knee. He measured Jericho for the FU but Jericho escaped his grasp. After Chris knocked Cena down, he locked the Walls of Jericho. Screaming in agony, John Cena used all his energy at that point to get near the bottom rope. His back was killing him but he knew he couldn't give up. His arms were his only weapon. More than once he thought of tapping out, but he fought the idea. He crawled toward the bottom rope and raised his hand to reach it. He felt relief as Y2J stood up and released him. He was grabbed by Y2J at the foot but Cena kicked him away. He gave Y2J a clothesline before finally picking him up and he did an FU. Cena covered him up but at 2 and a half Jericho kicked out. Cena threw him to the ropes and did a backdrop on Jericho. He gave a series of clotheslines before Y2J bent down and Cena lost his balance. Chris Jericho attempted another Walls of Jericho but Cena kicked him. Cena attacked, pummelling Y2J to the floor. Quickly he went to the second
rope and hit Y2J with his elbow. With Y2J on the floor, John Cena did his Five Knuckle Shuffle. With dominance going back and forth with these Superstars, it was hard determine the winner. John Cena picked Y2J and did the FU two times. He covered him up. 1... Stay still, Chris 2... C'mon get on with the three count now. 3!!
"It's done, J.R.!" King's voice was now clear to John. His music started playing, he noticed.
"He got his title back, the title he never lost!" J.R. nodded.
"Oh my gosh!" His partner said, leaving Jim Ross to shake his head.
"Here is your winner and the NEW WWE CHAMPION! John CeNAAAAAAAA!" Lilian spoke through the mic.
The ref handed Cena the belt which he took with pride. With a smirk displayed on his lips, he raised the belt for everyone to see. The crowds just keep on cheering. Most of them were on their feet. He realized Chris Jericho was gone and he was the only guy in the ring. He stood on the second rope facing the fans and held his belt up again.
The camera stopped rolling. The pay-per-view has ended. John Cena went to his locker room to rest. Nothing right now can make his happiness fade.
