Raw: Nov. 8, 2010
"So this happened." I say to Chelle, Eve, and Ryse.
"You finally said something." Chelle says. "I was getting worried."
"Me too." Ryse says.
"I was almost going to ask about it." Eve says.
"Wait…" I say. "You guys knew?"
"Duh!" The three say.
"Well can't you be more excited because I'm really excited?"
"You're getting married!" Ryse says before hugging me.
"How'd he do it?!" Eve asks.
"When is it?!" Chelle asks.
"Eve, watch this video so I can finally upload it to the channel. Chelle, we don't know yet."
They watch the video with grins. After, they hug me.
"I'm going to upload this for you." Chelle says.
"Okay." I say. "Just call it Moving In. Ryse, I need you and another camera."
"Why?" Ryse asks.
"It's Ted's birthday, and Randy wanted me to tell him that he's best man."
"Does that mean that I'm…"
"Yes. You're my maid of honor."
"Yay! Let's go!"
I grab a cupcake from Catering and bring it to Ted's locker-room with us. Ryse opens the door.
"Happy birthday!" I say before handing Ted the cupcake.
"Thanks." He says before hugging me.
I know Ryse started filming.
"So…" I say before showing him the ring. "I wanted to tell you that Randy proposed to me."
"He did?! This is beautiful. I am happy for you, Rissa. So happy." He hugs me again.
"You're best man." I say.
"What?! Randy said so?!"
"Yeah. He told me to tell you. Happy birthday."
"Thank you so much."
"You're welcome. And Ryse is maid of honor."
"Aw…is Ryse filming?"
"Yep." She says before stopping. "Happy birthday, babe."
"Thank you." Ted says. "Rissa, when you see Randy, tell him thank you for me."
"Okay. Bye."
I leave to see Randy.
Randy is lacing up his boots as I enter the locker-room.
I smile. "I love you."
He looks at me. "I love you too. You're so beautiful."
"Thanks. I talked to Ted."
"And?"
"He's really happy. He also says thank you."
Randy smiles. "Good. Do you think that you're well enough to come have a segment with me in the ring tonight?"
I smile. "Sure."
Randy kisses me. "Good."
I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They talk to me…
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the United States Champion, Marissa, and the WWE Champion, Randy Orton!"
We head down to the ring. Randy holds the ropes as I enter the ring. He enters the ring behind me, and I look down at my engagement ring as he grabs two microphones.
"Wade Barrett might think that he has an advantage over me at Survivor Series due to the fact that he got to pick the referee for the match." Randy says. "And that referee might just so happen to be John Cena, but Wade Barrett can't tell John what to do while he's in a fight with me. One slip up and I'll have him with a RKO and a 1…2…3. Wade-"
We walk alone
In the unknown
We live to win another victory…
Wade and John head to the ring. Wade grabs a microphone.
"Randy," Wade says. "I do have the advantage. You see…if I win, Cena will be free."
I gasp.
Wade continues. "But if I lose, Cena will be fired. I think we both know what John's gonna choose, so kiss your WWE Championship goodbye, Randal."
"That's very typical of you." Randy says. "Weaseling your way into having an advantage over me. What's with you and the anonymous GM anyways? You two doing some things together that we don't know of?"
Wade rolls his eyes. "The only person here doing things with someone of power in the company is you."
Randy is starting to get angry. I place a hand on his chest.
I look at Wade. "You really have no room to talk. You've tried to do things with me."
"Yeah. But I'm over that. Randy Orton weaseled his way into being your boyfriend."
"I guess now you can say he weaseled his way into being my fiance." I show off my ring.
The crowd cheers.
I continue. "As far as I'm concerned, Wade, you should watch your back because I get cleared next week. And you have done many things that I am not okay with. At Survivor Series, it may be Free or Fired for John Cena, but either way, I'm aiming for you and the Nexus. Raw isn't getting taken over by the Nexus. This is my show, and I'm going to defend it. You might be fighting Randy at Survivor Series, but I'll be there too. Watch your back."
"I have a challenge for you, Marissa." Wade says.
"Okay. Talk."
"You get four Superstars from Raw who are willing to fight the next the Nexus to team up with and five Nexus members will fight you in a traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series match."
I look back at Randy. He looks at me worried. I smile.
"Wade…I'm sorry but…I accept!"
"Okay."
"But make Otunga one of the Nexus members."
"Deal."
I sigh as I sit in Catering. "Chelle, how am I going to find four Superstars from Raw willing to fight the Nexus?"
"I don't know." Chelle says.
Ted and Ryse sit with us.
"Hi," Ted says. "Ted DiBiase, Raw Superstar that is willing to fight the Nexus."
"Ted," I say. "Are you saying that you'll team up with me?"
"Accept my offer." He says. "You can say that it counts as your present to me."
"You being best man was my present."
"Oh. I still wanna team up with you."
"Okay. But you still got to bring Maryse with you."
"I was going to force him to let me go." Ryse says.
