SmackDown Filming: August 14, 2012

I slowly walk in the locker-room to see Randy sitting exactly where I left him earlier. "You're still sitting there?"

Randy sighs. "Yeah, I'll go get my ring gear on. I've had a lot on my mind, Rissa."

"It wouldn't be Brock Lesnar, would it?"

"It might be."

"Don't let him get under your skin, Randy. That's what he wants."

"He threatened you, Marissa. I can't let that slide. He broke Shawn's arm. Do you want me to just try to forget those things?"

"No, I want you to be talkative and have fun with me. You need to also focus on your match tonight."

"I know. I just don't like how he treated you last night. Actually, I don't like how either of them treated you last night."

I sat down next to him. "I understand. I just don't want him in your head too much."

Randy smiles. "You're beautiful. Did you know that?"

"And you're handsome. Go get your ring gear on."

"Anything for the queen. She always has to get her way."

I roll my eyes. "I just want you to be ready for your match. You'll need to warm up too."

Randy chuckles. "I'll get my gear on."

"Thank you."

"Are you still planning on going with me to ringside?"

"I do plan on going with you to ringside."

"Great. I know who I'm facing now. It's quite the opportunity for you to be a pain in the ass at ringside."

"Who is it, babe?"

"I'm facing Daniel tonight."

"That sounds absolutely fantastic. I'm so in."

"I thought so. I can't wait to be an incredible pain to Daniel tonight."

"Being a pain is what we do best, Randal."

"I agree so much that I won't even complain that you called me Randal."

I smile. "You shouldn't be anyway."

"I love you, beautiful."

"I love you too, Randy. What are we doing other than hanging out this week at home?"

"I don't think we have a lot going on at home. Other than your therapy, we may just be able to spend time at home."

"Maybe we should stop by your parents."

"That's not a bad idea, but let's focus on my match right now."

("Flight of the Valkyries" plays)

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Aberdeen, Washington, Daniel Bryan!"

I hear voices in my head

They council me

They understand

They talk to me…

"And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Marissa, from Saint Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 245 pounds, the Apex Predator, Randy Orton!"

"Here is your winner, Randy Orton!"

I look at Randy as I slide into the ring. "Is your knee alright?"

Randy pulls me to him. "I'm not that hurt. I'll be alright."

"Good."

I lay in bed with Randy on the tour bus. "So tonight you did your DDT off the turnbuckle instead of the ropes."

"Yeah?" Randy asks.

"What else do you think that DDT could be hit off of?"

"Probably a lot of things honestly, why?"

"I'm trying to come up with ideas to catch Beth off guard in our Ambulance match on Sunday. I think I can get creative with these."

"Well, tables, ladders, chairs…maybe start acting like it's a TLC match."

I laugh. "You might be onto something."

"I've been doing this long enough that I should be."

"How's your knee?"

"It's fine. Stop worrying about me."

"Worrying about you is what I do. I'll stop when you stop being angry at Brock Lesnar."

"I hear you. You aren't going to stop worrying about me."

"There's not a chance in hell of that happening."

"I'll only agree if you don't say anything when I worry about you after your match on Sunday."

"Deal."
