Raw: May 11, 2009
"I still can't believe this whole situation. It's horrible." I tell Randy as he pulls the car into the parking garage at the arena for Raw.
"Me either. Have you heard from Chelle since Saturday?" Randy asks.
"No. That worries me. She was crying her eyes out when she called me."
"I know. She didn't deserve that. John's a piece of shit."
"Yeah. He cheated on her. That's one of the worst things you can do to a person. I've been there. A couple times. She's gonna be messed up over this for awhile."
"Definitely. We all just gotta be there for her." Randy parks the car.
"Yeah. If I see Mickie though, I'm handing her her ass. She shouldn't have slept with a man that she knew was in a relationship."
"That sounds like some supportive friendship you have for her there."
"Of course. I'm a great person and friend. We talked about this Saturday."
"You're right. You wanna go inside now? You know Stephanie is expecting us."
"Lead the way to us getting bitched out, babe."
Randy and I both look at each other nervously as we make it to the door of Stephanie's office.
"You ready?" Randy asks me.
"Ready whenever you are." I reply.
"Are we still going with the close quarters thing?"
"I think that's the best thing for us to go with. What else could we say?"
"I have no idea, babe."
"How pissed do you think she is?"
"She's gotta be pretty pissed at both of us right now."
"Yeah. The creative team is probably too."
"You are most likely right. I'm gonna knock." Randy knocks on the door.
"Who is it?" Stephanie asks from inside her office.
"Your two least favorite employees."
"Come in."
Randy slowly opens the door. I follow behind him as he walks into the office.
Stephanie looks at us. "Shut and lock the door behind you and sit down."
I shut and locked the door. Randy and I look at each other before sitting down together across from Stephanie.
Neither of us had spoken to Stephanie. We just waited for the inevitable lecture.
Stephanie turns on the television behind her. "I'm going to play a video clip. I want you two to watch this."
Randy and I exchanged a glance as the video clip starts. As I suspected, it's from SmackDown last week.
In the clip, Randy kisses me. When he stopped, I looked at him, shocked and confused. I bit my lip. Randy pulls me back in and kisses me again. I watch as I start kissing back, and I smiled to myself when I hear the loud reaction from the audience. I glance at Randy. He also has a small smile on his face.
Stephanie turns off the TV. "That's how SmackDown ended on Friday night. Yes, I know that SmackDown is taped on Tuesday, and we could've cut it from the show. However, plenty of fans that were there in person posted pictures and videos of it, and there was a loud reaction from the audience, which is why my father isn't mad about it. It also got crazy popular all over the internet. Now, I'll let you two get away with the hand holding during your entrance, but I have a problem with this. You two know we had a storyline planned out. That kissing shouldn't have happened. You two know it. You messed up. What do you have to say for yourselves?"
"Well…" I start. "About two weeks ago, you made us start sharing a hotel room. I believe you said it was so we could get used to each other. I don't know about you, but I think we got pretty used to each other, just like you wanted."
"I meant to be friendly with each other. I didn't mean to start dating, yes I know about that, and then make out with each other in the ring in front of the WWE Universe at a SmackDown Filming. What made you think that was okay?"
Randy smiles at Stephanie. "You've known both me and Marissa for a long time, Stephanie. Which also means you know how both of us are. You honestly should've known something like this was bound to happen. Plus, you forced two single, very attractive employees to room with each other at hotels. Putting two people in close quarters like that can make things happen. So we are dating now. It was either that or we were gonna end up sleeping together a bunch. As for what happened at SmackDown, am I expected to apologize for kissing my gorgeous girlfriend? She's a total babe, so yes I kissed her. Is that a crime now? I know I shouldn't have done it when I did, but I was happy and got caught up in the moment with her. That clip obviously shows me initiating it, so punish me for what happened. I caused it."
I look over at Randy. "Randy, don't."
Randy smiles at me. "Let's be honest here, Stephanie, you and Triple H probably got in trouble a couple times too. Plus, Rissa and I kissing got the loudest reaction of the whole night. You wanted us to be on screen together since we're both popular right now. That is still very much possible."
Stephanie sighs. "You're right. Listen, Creative had to rewrite a bunch of stuff, but we're making it work. You'll be in a relationship on TV too. We didn't have much of a choice. And, yes, you can both keep your respective factions. I'm not going to severely punish either of you because I think this will work out. However, I'm still irritated, so you both do get small punishments. Randy, you aren't allowed to have anyone with you at ringside during your non-title match against Batista tonight. Marissa, you don't have a match tonight, so I got something else for you. Every Diva except for you, Morgan, and Maryse are in a Battle Royal tonight. The winning Diva gets a championship match against Maryse on Sunday. Maryse and you will be on commentary during the match, so you'll wear a dress because I know you hate being forced to wear dresses. If you two can follow this, I'll forget about this little kissing issue."
Randy and I look at each other. "Okay."
Stephanie hands both of us a script. "Anyway, here's your scripts. You have a backstage segment with each other to establish your relationship and clear things up with the fans. Marissa, the only other thing that you have is commentary. If it gets brought up, answer in a way to not mess up the storyline. Randy, you do have an interview with Josh Mathews. Marissa will not be there. If she gets brought up, answer accordingly. You also have an in-ring segment with Batista and your Legacy teammates, as well as some backstage segments with your boys as well. Marissa shouldn't be brought up during this time. I think you two can handle this. Okay?"
"Okay." Randy and I both say.
"Good. You two are free to go now."
Randy and I nod and leave the office.
Randy closes the door behind us. "That went better than I thought it would."
I nod. "Same here. Listen, I got to go get a dress on and go see the girls. If Chelle isn't in our locker-room, I'll probably go look for her. So I guess I'll see you in a little bit."
Randy smiles. "Okay. That's fine. I gotta get my ring gear on and go see Ted and Cody. I'll see you in a while. Bye, babe."
"Bye."
We both walk in separate directions to our respective locker-rooms.
I open the door to the Divas of Domination locker-room. Eve, Ryse, and Chelle are all in there.
I enter and close the door behind me. "Hey, ladies."
Ryse smiles at me. "There's the troublemaker."
Eve laughs. "Yeah. Making out with her boyfriend at the end of SmackDown. How could she?"
I sit down next to Chelle and hug her. "It's not a crime."
Chelle gives me a small smile. "How mad is Stephanie?"
"Not as mad as either Randy or me thought she'd be. We still got lectured though. I have to wear a dress. He can't have people at ringside for his match. How are you doing?"
"Good for now. I haven't seen him. I might have to give Mickie some extra stiff punches during the Battle Royal though."
"I'll help." Eve says.
"You two should." I say. "She deserves it."
"Yeah." Chelle says. "Enough about my problems, Rissa, how'd the date go?"
"You knew about that?"
"Yeah. Randy mentioned he was going to surprise you on Saturday to me on Tuesday. I'm assuming it went well."
"Well, we ate at a cute little cafe, but fans were taking pics and staring. We left. We went back to the hotel, and he had rose petals all over the hotel room and candles, wine, and wine glasses set up. It was more romantic than anything Chris ever did for me. As for what happened in the hotel room, well…"
"Already?"
"As romantic as he was, I couldn't help but do that."
"So soon though?"
"Don't act so surprised. We've done it before."
"But you're dating him now. Dating sex and not dating sex are different."
"You're right, but we both agreed there was no problem with us having sex."
"Okay then. How long did it take you to have sex with Chris?"
"Um…we got together in late May and had sex for the first time in early September I believe."
"Oh okay. So a couple months. This time, five days. Look at you, Rissa. Making people fall into your bed."
I laugh. "Whatever."
"Who initiated?" Eve asks.
"With Chris?"
"No! With Randy."
"I did. But it didn't take much to get him on board." I start changing into my dress.
"Who's bigger?" Ryse asks.
I laugh. "Randy is. Are we good here? I want to meet up with him before we have to film our segment later."
"You guys are still in a storyline?"
"After last week, they decided to make us a couple."
"Nice." Eve says. "I think we're good here at least. Go make out with Randy."
"Yeah." Chelle says. "Stick your tongue down his throat."
Ryse laughs. "Make Randy the happiest man ever."
I roll my eyes. "See you guys in a while."
I walked down the halls pissed, but that's common for me lately. Chelle looked devastated over what John did, so I'm pissed at him. I wasn't just gonna let John get away with this as Chris did the same to me with Morgan. That's what people call the Chris Jericho Thing. John sees me and motions for me to come over to him. I walk over to John.
"What, Cena?" I ask, irritated with him.
"Why are Randy, Ted, and Cody not talking to me?" He asks me.
"Maybe because you cheated on Michelle with Mickie. Michelle's their friend too. I mean that's why I don't want to talk to you."
"But Randy's my best friend."
"Actually Marissa's cousin, Kenny, is my best friend. Has been since high school. Her brother is a close second." Randy says as he walks up to us. "You're just an ass that cheated on one of my girlfriend's best friends."
"Randy-"
Randy grabs my hand, and we walk away. We head to his locker-room. He sighs, and we sit down on the couch.
"Are you okay?" I ask him.
"Just frustrated with John, but seeing you in that dress calms me down." He replies, smirking at me.
"This dress is the only way Stephanie is letting us get away with kissing on screen."
"Creative wrote it into the storyline."
"I know, but you know how Stephanie is."
"True."
We start filming a segment. I'm outside Legacy's locker-room while Randy is inside. I knock on the door. Randy opens it.
"What happened on SmackDown?" I ask.
"You should know. I'm pretty sure you were there, Marissa." He replies.
"I meant between us. What are we now? After all…that."
"We kissed on SmackDown, and we can be whatever you want us to be." He brushes back a piece of my hair.
"I don't know, Randy. We both have titles to defend this Sunday at Judgment Day. I don't want either of us to be distracted because of anything. Plus, didn't you DDT me last week?"
Randy rolls his eyes. "I'm sorry about that, Marissa. I think we can both focus on our title defenses and still be together. As long as you want that because that's what I want."
"Okay. That is what I want, Randy. I just worry. I don't want either of us to get distracted over this." I look at his WWE Championship and then my Women's Championship. "Especially because it seems that we both have big things ahead of us. I just find it weird because last week you were literally being rude."
Randy laughs. "I'm not that good at expressing feelings. Sorry."
"I think I can forgive that. So…is this official?"
"Yeah. It's official." Randy pulls me into a kiss.
I kiss him back to end the segment.
"We're good." The cameraman says before leaving.
We continue to kiss in front of the locker-room.
We hear footsteps.
"And it begins." Ted says as he and Cody approach.
Randy rolls his eyes as he continues to kiss me. "Shut up, Ted."
I pull out of the kiss. "Sorry, guys. I didn't intend on being in front of your locker-room. Randy, I gotta go anyway. The Battle Royal starts soon. See you later."
"Bye." The boys say.
I leave to go to get ready for the Number One Contender's Battle Royal.
I can tell you're feelin' me
The way you looking at me
Won't ya come and let me see
Just how you diggin' on me…
Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Melina, Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, Rosa Mendez, Eve, Michelle, Alicia Fox, Layla, Maria, Katie Lea Burchill, Gail Kim, and Jillian Hall walk down the ramp and enter the ring. The Divas group up and our song plays.
Pourquoi es-tu si belle?
Pourquoi tu bouges comme ça?
Pourquoi tu me fais mal?
Oh je me sens tout nu…
We walk out and over to commentary with Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole. They welcome us. The match starts.
The Divas brawl in the ring, and I hear Jerry Lawler ask who we think would win if Michelle or Eve doesn't.
"Rosa Mendes." Maryse replies.
Rosa gets eliminated by Candice.
"There goes Rosa." I say as Jillian gets eliminated by Michelle and Eve. "And Jillian."
"Time for a new pick...I pick Katie Lea."
Beth and Natalya eliminate Nikki and Brie. Then, Michelle and Eve eliminate Beth and Natalya.
"The Bellas, Beth, and Natalya are out." Maryse comments.
"So, Marissa," Jerry Lawler says. "It seems you are engaging in a relationship with arguably the most dangerous man in the WWE right now, Randy Orton. Any comments?"
"Yeah." I say. "He's good-looking and one hell of a kisser. Let's go back to talking about this match because quite frankly my relationship with Randy Orton is nobody else's business except mine and his."
"How much of a great kisser though?" Maryse asks.
"Ryse, he's an amazing kisser. I'll tell you more later."
Katie Lea and Eve are on the apron. Mickie James kicks them off.
"That's not fair! She eliminated Eve and my pick!"
"That's ridiculous!"
Michelle eliminates Alicia; Candice eliminates Kelly and Layla.
"Come on, Michelle!"
Michelle, Candice, Melina, Maria, Gail, and Mickie are left in the Battle Royal. Melina and Mickie are working together. Maria and Gail are too. Candice and Michelle are on their own. Maria and Gail go to eliminate Candice, but she ducks and eliminates both of them. At the same time, Melina and Mickie eliminate Michelle. That leaves Candice, Mickie, and Melina in the Battle Royal. Melina and Mickie go to eliminate Candice, but she ducks and gives both a clothesline. Candice grabs Melina and throws her out by her hair. Now only Candice and Mickie are left. They fight for a while, but eventually Mickie eliminates Candice and wins.
Mickie celebrates in the ring, and Maryse and I take off our headsets and roam to the sides of the ring. Michelle and Eve, who are still at ringside, roam to the other sides. We all climb onto the apron at the same time, and Mickie realizes she's in trouble.
It feels like
I want to let go(go)
Show you think i'll never ever show(show)
Were burning down the house tonight
Step into the bright spotlight…
Maryse, Michelle, Eve, and I look at the stage. Morgan runs out to the ring and comes to Mickie's aid. We back off, and I grab a microphone.
"You think you're so clever." I glare at Morgan and Mickie. "We'll see on SmackDown who's clever. Let's have Mickie James and Morgan Ouellet versus Maryse and me in a Tag Team match!"
