RAW – FEBRUARY 20, 2012 – Minneapolis, MN
Lita's music came over the PA and the crowd cheered as the triumphant Divas Champion made her way down to the ring along with Jessie Kresa and Sara Del Ray, Jessie carrying a six-pack of beer in her hand. Once they got to ringside, Jessie took a beer for herself and started giving some of the others to fans at ringside. She joked with one of the fans about wanting to see their ID first. When she had one beer left, she toyed with tossing it into the crowd before deciding to give it to Sara instead. Once the beer was given out, they all opened them and drank up.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ring, Lita greeted a group of young fans from the local Boys & Girls Club who had won front-row seats as part of a contest. Lita greeted them all with high-fives until she got to the children's chaperone for the evening, former WWE wrestler, Molly Holly. Lita jumped up and hugged her former colleague, then took the mic from Justin Roberts and climbed into the ring.
Lita turned towards where Jessie and Sara were drinking with the fans and said, "Uh, Jessie? I know you're glad to be here in Minnesota and back in front of your hometown fans, but we have some business to attend to right now."
Jessie told the fans she was drinking with, "Duty calls", and downed the rest of her beer in one gulp before heading into the ring. Sara followed her, still drinking her own beer.
Once they were in the ring, Lita continued. "Last night, at Elimination Chamber, I dealt with the challenge of one Beth Phoenix. She came, she saw, she lost. End of story. Now, who does that mean I get to face at WrestleMania?"
As soon as Lita said those words, Beth's music came over the PA and 'the Glamazon' made her way down the ramp accompanied by her fellow Sisters of Salvation, Natalya and AJ Lee. Beth was carrying a microphone in her hand as they made their way down the aisle, up the steps and into the ring.
Once her music faded out, Beth took the mic to speak to Lita. She said, "You got lucky. That pinfall should have never counted." Beth turned and motioned towards the TitanTron. On the screen, it showed the closing moments from the match the previous night. When it showed the final pinfall, the picture froze, Beth pointed and said, "See? My foot was on the rope! That shouldn't have counted. I demand a rematch! You never really beat me last night!"
Lita made an 'Ooooooooooh' face and then said, "Now, I could stand here and remind you that, foot or not, your shoulders were still down for a three-count making me the winner, but I'm better than that. The facts are: you won one match, I won one match. I think, for the good of all people involved, we should have a tie-breaker match." She turned towards the audience and asked, "What do you guys think? Do you want to see Lita and Beth Phoenix go at it one more time?" The crowd cheered with delight at the thought of seeing the two women fight each other again. Beth nodded with approval at the crowd's reaction.
Lita raised her hand and continued. "Just one thing: it's not going to happen tonight." The crowd booed the statement. Lita spoke up again and said, "Nothing personal, Minneapolis, but this needs to happen on a bigger stage than this. This needs to take place ... at WrestleMania 28 next month. What do you think about that?" The crowd cheered and Lita resumed speaking. "Well, it's settled then: 'The Queen of Extreme' vs. 'The Glamazon', Part 3 at WrestleMania. Now the only question is: what kind of match should it be? On a big show like that, it needs to be a big match." Lita then turned towards the audience and said, "Oh, and Molly? Don't even THINK about suggesting a Hair Vs. Hair match!", prompting Molly to laugh.
John Laurinaitis came out onto the stage with a mic and asked, "Can I say something?" The crowd booed as he continued. "I am the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations AND the Interim General Manager of Monday Night Raw. I make the matches around here, not you. And it just so happens, there WILL be a Divas match at WrestleMania."
Lita scowled at the mention of the dreaded 'D Word' and John continued speaking. "It will be a Six-Woman tag team match. On one side, the Sisters of Salvation. On the other, it will be Lita, …"
Lita interrupted and said, "Hold on, John. Jessie, Sara and I can handle them and we can handle them right now if you want."
John calmly said, "You didn't let me finish. Jessie and Sara will not be your partners at WrestleMania. You see, the board of directors wants some … shall we say, 'name recognition' on the card, so we'll be bringing two special women to be your partners for the match."
Lita looked disgusted as she asked, "So, who are they going to be? Snooki and J-Woww? Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian? Maybe a couple of the girls from Glee?"
John said, "No. Actually, I think you'll like them. They're both former Divas and have been in the ring before. Would you like to see them and get reacquainted?"
Lita rolled her eyes and said, "Okay. Let's get it over with."
Once Lita finished speaking, 'Legs' by Kid Rock came over the PA and the crowd erupted as Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson strutted out onto the stage. The two blonds waved to the crowd, tickled John Laurinaitis under his chin and sashayed down the ramp to the ring. As they stepped in the ring, Stacy did her usual 'Straddle The Middle Rope' entrance, then she and Torrie waved to the fans at ringside and each greeted Lita with a hug.
Once the music died down, Torrie borrowed Beth's mic and said, "Oh my God, it's so good to be back. I can't wait." She gave the mic to Stacy, who said, "Lita, I am SO looking forward to getting to team up with you at WrestleMania."
An evil smile came across Lita's face as she said, "You know? I am REALLY going to enjoy this." The redhead dropped the mic, jumped up and hit Torrie right in the face with a standing dropkick. As the former Playboy Playmate fell backwards, Sara grabbed her and locked her in the Crossface Chickenwing.
Stacy was confused and yelled, "What are you DOING?" at Lita. From behind, Jessie kicked the leggy blond in the backside so hard she jumped two feet in the air. Stacy held her sore butt and hopped across the ring – right towards the Sisters of Salvation, who were of no salvation to her. Beth grabbed Stacy, picked up her and slammed her down to the mat with a Spinebuster that would have made Ron Simmons say "DAMN!" if he had been there. Once Stacy was lying on the mat, Beth allowed Natalya to take over by locking the Sharpshooter on her. For good measure, AJ grabbed Stacy's left arm, put it between her legs, grabbed her chin and locked in a version of a Crippler Crossface.
Meanwhile, Jessie grabbed Torrie by the legs and locked them in a Standing Figure Four Leglock. As Stacy and Torrie SCREAMED in agony, John Laurinaitis couldn't believe the reaction the fans had. They were CHEERING as two of the most popular Divas in WWE history were being tortured. And it wasn't just a little cheering. The ovation from the audience was absolutely deafening! From her seat in the front row, Molly yelled to her two former WCW colleagues, "I bet you wish NOW that you'd listened to me when I tried to train you!"
Lita retrieved her mic and sarcastically said, "Sorry, John. It doesn't look like Stacy and Torrie are going to be able to make it to WrestleMania. Not to mention, it doesn't look like George and A-Rod are getting any in the near future. Sorry, guys."
