SmackDown Filming: July 10, 2012
I sit down in my locker-room. I didn't have anything tonight, but I was going to find a way to be on TV somehow. Money in the Bank was on Sunday. I had a Divas Championship defense at Money in the Bank. I wasn't missing my last chance to be on TV before the pay per view. I put on some ring gear just in case whatever I did tonight led to a match. I struggled but managed to clasp the top of my ring gear. I stretched out in the middle of my locker-room, but I stopped because my phone starts to ring. Randy is trying to video call me. I answer the call.
I smile as I look at Randy on the phone screen. "Hey, I don't have makeup on yet."
Randy grins. "You look great. I just wanted to see your face."
"I'm coming home tomorrow."
"I'm too impatient to wait on that. I wanted to see you now."
"Oh, well I'm glad to see you too."
"I need you to get home, so I can see you in person."
"I'll come home tomorrow. I'm in Colorado right now. Even if I leave right after the filming, Randy, I'll be home in the middle of the night if I'm lucky enough to find a plane ticket that quickly."
Randy sighs. "I know. I just miss you. Do you have a match tonight?"
"I have nothing to do, but I'll find a way to get on TV."
"I don't doubt that. You're clever. I can't wait to see you on TV."
"The episode doesn't air until Friday."
"We'll watch it together."
"Okay. I love you, handsome."
Randy smiled. "I love you too, sweetheart. I can't wait to be with you."
"You still have a few weeks of suspension."
"I know, Rissa. I hope those weeks go by quickly."
"Me too. I'm getting lonely at work."
"Once I'm back, I'll make sure that you're going to never be lonely at work again."
"Thank you. I'm going to get my hair and makeup done. I'll call you back later."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too. Bye." I end the call.
She looks good to me
She's got everything I want
She's got everything I need…
Eve enters the ring and grabs a microphone. "This Sunday at Money in the Bank, I will be facing both Beth Phoenix and Marissa Orton in a Triple Threat match for the Divas Championship. Going by the numbers, I only have a thirty-three percent chance of winning this match. However, my two opponents have been keeping their eyes on each other instead of me, so I'll tell you exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to slip in, catch them both off guard, and become the NEW WWE Divas Champion."
I know I want that girl so bad
I lie awake at night
And think of all the things that I would do
With a girl like that…
I start heading towards the ring. "Eve, I'm going to be upfront with you about this. It's not going to be that easy. Beth and I have gone through numerous battles over this Divas Championship. We know each other in and out. To the WWE Universe, you are the wildcard in this match. However, you and I both know that isn't true." I enter the ring. "I was your first friend here. I trained with you. I brought you into my faction. I have always had your back until you went and helped John Laurinaitis. I know you, Eve. I know how you work. I know what it takes to beat you. This Divas Championship is mine, and it isn't going anywhere."
("Glamazon" plays)
Beth enters the ring. "Ladies, let's be honest here. I'm the real threat in this Divas Championship match at Money in the Bank. I'm stronger than both of you, and, Marissa, I've won more of our Divas Championship matches. Both of you should be more worried about me than anything else. Eve can't even win Mixed Tag Team matches. How's she going to be able to win a Triple Threat?"
"And you couldn't win a Battle Royal." Eve looks at Beth. "Wanna keep talking, Beth?"
"Neither of the two of you were in that Battle Royal. It doesn't matter."
"If we want to get technical here," I say. "AJ Lee won that Battle Royal and was also the female half of the winning team of that Mixed Tag Team match. Maybe I should defend against her. I beat AJ in a singles match though. Which is more than either of you can say. I'm doing much better than you two have been lately. I'm the Divas Champion. I'll be the Divas Champion for a very long time."
Beth hit me with a Clothesline. I roll under the ropes. Eve catches Beth off guard and kicks her in the gut. Eve hits Beth with a DDT. I struggle to use the ropes to get back up. Eve Dropkicks me out of the ring. She grabs my Divas Championship and raises it in the air as she stands in the ring. Eve smirks before setting the Divas Championship down and exiting the ring as her theme song plays. I slide back in the ring and grab my Divas Championship. Beth is still laying on the ground. I step on her as I make my way out of the ring. I sigh as I head backstage.
I started packing my bags. I was annoyed that I let both Eve and Beth get the better of me tonight. I knew that I should have been better than that. I start zipping my bags when there's a knock on my door.
"It's open." I answer.
Chris Jericho walks in. "Hey, Rissa. I'm just popping in for a second."
"What's up?"
"I know you're going to be hard on yourself after what happened in the ring tonight. Don't, Marissa. Just stay focused on your Divas Championship match on Sunday."
I smile. "Thanks, Chris."
