SmackDown Filming: Apr. 28, 2009
Last night, I told Maryse about mine and Randy's interaction in Catering yesterday. Neither of us had a good reason for him to be so nice to me after I hit Natalya with the Punt Kick. I know he's still mad about it, so why was he being so nice to me?
Maryse and I headed towards the Divas of Domination's locker-room. After last night, Stephanie granted us our own locker-room. We were supposed to plan for our match in there. We entered the locker-room and shut the door behind us.
"So what's our plan for the Bellas?" Maryse asks.
"It'll be an easy match as long as we keep them from using Twin Magic." I answer.
"How are we going to do that?"
As if on queue, someone knocked on the door. It wasn't Michelle or Eve. They already went to the place where the next Raw was. I opened the door. It was Vickie Guerrero.
"Hello ladies," Vickie says. "just to let you know, the Bella Twins will be marked during your match so the referee can tell them apart." She left.
"That's perfect" I say. Then I got a text from Stephanie.
Stephanie: Meet me in my office. I need to discuss some things about the storyline with you and Randy.
"I gotta go." I say. "Stephanie wants me to meet her and Randy in her office to discuss the storyline."
"Okay."
I headed to Stephanie's office, but when I got there, only Randy was in there.
"Where's Stephanie?" I ask.
"I don't know. I got a text saying to meet her and you in her office to talk about the storyline. I'm assuming she texted you too." He replied, obviously wanting to get to the topic.
"She did. How's your shoulder?"
"Better. How's your Melina problems?"
"Better than they have been most of the time lately. I'm facing two of her lackeys with Maryse tonight."
"Which ones?"
"The Bella Twins."
Randy chuckles. "That'll be easy."
"I know. Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure thing. What do you want to know?"
"Why are you being so nice to me after last night?"
He sighs. "I'm still mad about you punting Natalya, but I want to get along for the sake of this storyline at least. Who knows how long Stephanie wants this storyline to go on?"
I laugh. "You never know with Stephanie."
Just then, Stephanie enters the office. "Good. You're both here. Now let's get started."
She takes a seat. "Okay, first thing first, the plan for tonight is that Randy will have an interview, and he will talk about how he is the best current champion in WWE. That will lead to Marissa interrupting you, Randy, and saying that you won't be the best champion in the WWE until you actually proves it to the WWE Universe. Later on, after Marissa and Maryse's match against the Bellas, because I know you'll win, Marissa, you will start talking about how you and your group have proven they are better than the other WWE Divas. Randy will interrupt you along with Legacy, and they will attack Maryse while Randy holds you back, but you manage to get away and slap him."
"Okay, but does Maryse know?" I ask.
"I already told her. One more thing, I want you guys to start rooming together at the hotels so you can get used to each other."
Randy and I look at each other. "What?!"
I admired my hair and makeup in the mirror. Maryse had put my hair in a ponytail and curled it, and Kelly had came over to our locker-room to do my makeup and gave me a smokey-eye look using eye shadow with some lip gloss also applied to my lips. I looked great.
My mind then wondered to the meeting in Stephanie's office earlier. Was she insane or something? She wants Randy and I to room together. Randy and I both tried talking her out of it, but she wouldn't budge at all. I then grabbed my WWE Women's Championship and walked out the door to meet up with Todd Grisham and Randy to film our segment.
When I got there, like at the meeting in Stephanie's office earlier, Randy was the only one there.
"Where's Todd?" I ask Randy.
"Late, per usual." He replied, rolling his eyes.
I chuckled at his comment. It was true. Todd Grisham was known to be late to film interview segments. Just then, Todd walked over to us to start the interview.
"Sorry to keep you both waiting, Mr. Orton and Ms. Smith. I am ready to start filming the interview segment now."
Randy was about to say something, but I cut him off. "It's fine, Todd. Now, let's get this thing started."
Randy shot me a look before heading over to the interview area with Todd.
The Interview
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time," Todd started, "He is the WWE Champion, the Viper, Randy Orton."
The camera pans over to show Randy with his title on his shoulder.
"Randy, congratulations on your WWE Championship win at Backlash. Any words you have to say about this victory?"
"Yes, Todd, I have some words to say." Randy looks straight at the camera. "I would like to address the many people who don't like me, not just the ones here tonight at Madison Square Garden, but everyone in the WWE Universe that doesn't like me. I am the WWE Champion now. I am the best current champion in the WWE. And if you-"
I walk into the interview area. "Best current champion in WWE?"
He glares at me. "Yes. Did you hear me wrong, Marissa?"
"That's what I thought I heard, Randal. I just wanted to know if I heard you wrong or if you're that much of an airhead."
"Who do you think you are? I am the WWE Champion-"
I stopped him. "And I'm the WWE Women's Champion. Randal, you can't be the best current champion in WWE until you prove it."
He narrowed his eyes at me. "I already have."
"No, you haven't." I walk away from the interview area, ending the segment.
After the segment ends, Todd walks off to who knows where and Randy approaches me.
"Why'd you let Todd off so easily?" He asks in an irritated tone.
"He apologized and I didn't want you going off on him like you tend to do." I reply.
"Well, I didn't want him messing up the beginning of the storyline that could give you a big push."
"That isn't anything you need to worry about."
"I'm just trying to help you out." He raises his arms in defense.
"Since when?"
Randy stares right at me. His eyes were boring holes straight through me. "I always have been. You just never took the time to notice."
He walked away before I could muster up a reply to his words.
"Damn it." I mutter to myself. I just pissed the wrong person off.
I watch as Ted DiBiase Jr. and Cody Rhodes exited Legacy's locker-room and headed towards Catering.
"Now's my chance." I mutter to myself.
If you're wondering what I'm doing near Legacy's locker-room, I am there because I need to apologize to Randy for earlier. I earlier had told Maryse and Kelly what happened after the interview. They both had told me to go and apologize while I could. I had time before my match, with Maryse against the Bella Twins, and segment, with Legacy and Maryse. The reason I waited for Ted and Cody to leave is that, as far as I know, neither of them like me and probably wouldn't let me talk to Randy. Well, Cody doesn't like anyone I know of outside of Legacy anyway since he joined up with Randy and Ted. Ted, on the other hand, was sort of friends with Maryse, but a lot of people think he wants to be more than friends with her, myself included.
I knocked on the door. Randy opened it.
"Oh...uh...hey. What are you doing here?" Randy asks.
I sigh. "I wanted to apologize for earlier. I-"
"You don't need to apologize for earlier, Marissa. I was being an ass."
"No, you weren't. I was being an inconsiderate bitch who never noticed you've were trying to help me out. I was terrible. I-" I started crying a little bit. I felt terrible about how I acted and not noticing that he has been trying to help me out and not letting him help me out. I could be very emotional sometimes.
He held me in his arms. "It's okay. I'm not mad at you." He whispered into my neck. "I'm not mad."
"Really?" I looked at him.
"Really. I'm not mad." He carried me into his locker-room, laid me on the couch, and sat next to me. "I know you don't trust men too much after the whole Chris Jericho thing, but I just want to let you know that you can trust me. Even though, you should already know that. I've known you since you were twelve. Despite the whole RKO thing a few years ago."
I sat up and looked at him. "Really?Thanks, Randal." I laid my head on his shoulder.
Randy puts his arm around my shoulders. "Don't call me that."
"I'm not going to stop."
"Whatever."
You can look, but you can't touch
You keep dreaming on the stars above...
"The following Tag Team match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Scottsdale, Arizona, Nikki and Brie, the Bella Twins!"
The Bella Twins came out and did their regular entrance. I notice that they had those "Hello my name is…" name tag stickers on them. The one on the left was Nikki and the one on the right was Brie. I chuckled. Nikki was the one I got into an argument with yesterday. Now, I know which one of the Bella Twins I need to pin or submit.
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...
"And their opponents, the team of the WWE Divas Champion, Maryse, and the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa, the Divas of Domination!"
I smirked as I came out to my new singles theme. It was Torrie Wilson's last theme. I miss Torrie. Maryse was on my right, and we both held our respective titles.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Maryse and Nikki started off the match. They started off exchanging right hands, but Maryse kicks Nikki in the gut and then nails Nikki in the jaw. Maryse did her normal taunt. Nikki used that as an opportunity to fight back, but Maryse knew she would. She ducked behind Nikki and did the French TKO. Maryse went for the pin.
1…2…kickout!
Maryse was getting frustrated. Nikki, who had barely managed to kick out, tags Brie quickly after the kickout. Maryse hadn't saw the tag, so she didn't she Brie coming. Brie blindsides her and kicks her to the ground. Brie goes for another kick, but Maryse grabs her foot, stands up, and clotheslines her. Taking her chance, Maryse tags me in.
Brie hadn't saw the tag, like how Maryse didn't see theirs, so I did what she did to Maryse and blindside Brie. I then grabbed Brie by her hair and flung her into her team's corner. Nikki tagged herself in. Like I did to Melina on Sunday, I kicked Nikki in the gut and gave her a Picture Perfect.
I then pinned Nikki.
1…2…3!
"Here are your winners, Maryse and Marissa!"
We won. I beat Nikki.
After we grabbed our titles from the referee, Maryse and I shared a look. We blindsided the Bella Twins with our titles. They managed to roll out of the ring after we hit them.
I grabbed a microphone. "The Bella Twins said some things I didn't like. They called me a bitch. They said my victory on Sunday at Backlash was a fluke. Tonight, I proved my victory on Sunday wasn't a fluke. I proved I deserve the WWE Women's Championship. I proved-"
I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They talk to me...
Randy, with Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase at his sides, appears on the ramp. They walked down the ramp and entered the ring. Randy grabbed a mic as he entered.
"Marissa, Marissa, Marissa." Randy looks at me. "If I haven't proven that I am the best current champion in WWE, then you sure as hell haven't proven you deserve your title."
"Leave me alone, Orton." I try to walk away from him.
Randy grabs my arm harshly. "I don't think so." He looked at Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase. "Now, boys."
Ted and Cody grab Maryse and slammed her on the ground and kicked her. While Ted and Cody beat on Maryse, Randy was holding me back as I screamed for Maryse. I then got out of Randy's grip on me and slapped him right across the face.
