Chapter 17:
Regan's POV
Shane and I arrived at the Smackdown tapings in Albany around 6pm. When I told Shane where I was going he insisted on coming along. After all, "We hadn't been to a taping together in a long time." This was true. One of the event staff showed me to my locker room, where I changed into my attire, an Evolution t-shirt, black leather pants and my wrestling boots. I was still really nervous for a variety of reasons. Reason 1: Jay, I knew he would be here. He was at Raw last night, but I hadn't seen him. Reason 2: Torrie, thankful she hadn't been at the tapings last night, but at a house show. I really didn't want to see her and her enormous ring. Reason 3: I was like, the first Raw star to invade Smackdown. Other who had done something similar had switched sides, but not me. I'd be back on Raw.
Showtime was approaching; Shane could tell the nerves were kicking in. "Don't worry Reg, you'll be fine."
"I can't help it Shane, this is huge and I don't want to mess it up."
He gave me a hug and brushed a strand of hair out of my face. "You'll be wonderful. You'll knock their socks off."
I laughed. "Thanks, Shane."
"No problem."
"So, did you ask Trish out yet?" I watched as his face grew five shades of red."
"No."
"Come on, Shane. Her birthday is Saturday. You could take her out to dinner. You can't just sit back and watch. You have to act, or she'll be taken before you know it."
"I don't know." There was a knock at the door.
"Regan Lawler, five minutes."
"Thanks. Shane, I have to go. I can't believe I'm doing this."
" You'll be just fine. Good luck." He gave me one last hug and I left. They led me to a spot up in the stands and I waited for my cue. Down below was a Smackdown staple, a diva bikini contest. Nidia was first out followed by Sable (Rena), Shaniqua (Linda), Dawn Marie, and lastly, Torrie Wilson. I watched in anticipation as one by one they strutted around the ring shaking their butts and posing seductively. Tazz placed his hand over each lady's head, the crowd cheering for their favorite.
"You're winner, Torrie Wilson!" This was my cue. I run down through the audience and over the barricade. I slid into the ring. Dawn Marie was my first victim. I picked her up and body slammed her into the mat. Nidia came running at me and I kneed her in the stomach and delivered a DDT. Sable was the next closest and I tossed her out of the ring. I turned around and saw Torrie staring at me. She was trying to convey a look of fear and surprise, but a little smirk kept creeping in. I smiled as I lunged for her. I heard her squeal, trying to act afraid. I was supposed to give her a pile driver; instead I gave her my version of the Unprettier. I tried not to laugh; she could thank her husband for that one later. This left me and Shaniqua. The Amazon gazed at me, and I at her. She made the first move and tried to get me in a power bomb. I countered and gave her a DDT. I then lifted my hands up as Evolution music played and gazed at the carnage around me. I had taken out ever woman on the Smackdown roster, except for one. Evolution stopped and the music of the GM, Stephanie McMahon.
A/N: Stephanie is still GM, all that Steph vs. Vince stuff never happened.
"What the hell do you think you are doing her? This is Smackdown, not Raw. You have the nerve to come her and take out part of my roster. Well you have another thing coming." I grabbed the microphone from her hand.
"I'm here to sent a message. I message I think Trish Stratus has received. Come next Raw, when Trish and I finally meet, that title around her waist is mine."
Stephanie grabbed the microphone back. "Get out of my building." I stood there and looked at her. She raised her hand and I felt in slam around my face. I grabbed her and body slammed her to the mat. Evolution music started again and I left the ring via the entrance ramp. When I got backstage, the divas were waiting.
"That was awesome."
"Yeah, and the power bomb on me, was well delivered."
I smiled grateful that they all liked it, except for Torrie who was glaring at me. "I can't wait to see what it looks like on TV." The girls all agreed and went their separate ways. Torrie stayed behind.
"What the hell was that?"
"What was what?"
"Don't pay dumb with me. You gave me the Unprettier? Think you were being creative and clever. Well, I'm on to you. Jay is my husband, mine. And there is not a damn thing you can do about it."
I opened my mouth to respond but was interrupted. Jay was approaching from behind Torrie. "Hey, Honey." He gave her a kiss. "What are you two discussing?"
"The match." I said, my eyes not leaving Torrie.
She swung around and looked up at Jay. "Did you see what she did out there."
A big smile spread across his face. "Yeah, that Unprettier you delivered," Jay said as Torrie smirked, "that was awesome!"
Shane's POV
I found Regan talking with Jay and Torrie after her segment. "Thanks Jay. I was suppose to do a pile driver, but decided to try something different. I hope Torrie didn't mind or wasn't offended?"
"Of course she wasn't, were you Honey."
"No." I saw the smoke coming out of Torrie's ears. She was fuming mad, probably about the Unprettier, which I must say was a stroke of genius on Regan's part. She had finally come clean about the whole thing. How she had decided she was in love with Jay only to find out that he married Torrie. I felt for her, but she was strong, she would get through this somehow.
Jay and Torrie had retreated down the hall and John Cena was making his way towards her. "Hey, R. Haven't seen you for awhile." He gave her a hug. "Sorry to hear about you and Randy."
"Thanks Randy and I were just at different points in our lives. He's really a great guy. I hope he finds someone."
I watched from afar as John and Regan talked. He sang some little rap about her and Evolution. I saw her smile and laugh for the first time in days. John liked her I could tell. They talked for a few more minutes, before John had to leave for his match. She turned around and saw me. "Shane, how did it look?"
"It looked like John has a little crush on you?" Regan turned pale.
"That's not what I meant."
"I know, I was just making an observation."
"Well, like I told you before, me and men are history for awhile. I'm just not ready to get back in there."
"I know, I'm sorry. I just want you to be happy."
"I will be. I just need time for the shock to wear off."
"Listen, I was thinking about what you said about Trish and her birthday."
"And?"
" And, was going to chicken out, but seeing you now, I think I have to ask her out. I don't want to go through what you are going through."
"Glad I could help."
"Oh, Regan, before I forget, when did you want to get together to celebrate Christmas. I have something for you."
"Me too. What suits you best?"
"How about Tuesday?"
"I have an appointment on Tuesday, Wednesday?
"Works for me."
"Good."
"You know," I said as we walked back to Regan's locker room, "you really made Torrie mad out there."
A huge smile lit up her face. "I know, wasn't that great."
Thanks again for reading and for the reviews. Keep them coming. More to come soon!
