Chapter 3
Mandy's POV
On Raw, I was playing the role of Chris Jericho's valet. It was a pretty good gimmick considering he was going to get the World Heavyweight Championship and I was going to get the Women's Championship a week after. The writers wanted to make us look like a WWE power couple much like the old HHH/Stephanie McMahon story line. Even I had to admit that it was a brilliant move. There were just so many possibilities that could follow. The only remotely bad part about it was the fact that I had to work and make appearances with Chris. His mood seemed to change from day to day. I never knew whether to expect him to insult me the whole time, for him to be unresponsive and aloof, or to actually put his ego aside and start a conversation with me, which so far had been never.
The week after my confrontation with Chris, I was scheduled to fight Victoria for a number one contender match for the Women's Championship. When I walked down the ram toward the ring, Jericho accompanied me. He was pep talking me the whole time as I tried to remain focused on performing all of the moves that Victoria and I had discussed backstage just moments prior. The match was long and very physical.
It began with Victoria taking control. She threw me into the ropes and worked the psycho angle by trying to strangle me in the ropes. I kicked her hard causing me to gain power momentarily, but Victoria quickly turned the tables again by suplexing me hard into the mat. She looked over at Jericho who was standing in my corner cheering me on and decided to mock him by putting me in the Walls of Jericho. I cried out in pain in front of the cameras and all of the fans in the arena even though it isn't really all that painful of a move. I could hear Chris banging his hands on the mat trying to show his support. The entire arena started chanting my name as I started pulling my way over to the ropes. I finally made it and she was forced to release me. She picked me up on to her shoulders for a power bomb but I reversed it into a canrana. Once she was on the ground, I got up on the top rope and proceeded a frog splash but she rolled out from under me and I smacked into the mat. Victoria got out of the ring and grabbed a steal chair but Jericho charged at her in my defense. Before he had a chance to get to her, she connected the chair to his face. She dropped the chair next to Jericho and started screaming, "I don't need this. I don't need this to beat that BITCH!" she got back into the ring where I was still selling my collision with the mat. Chris started to get up and he staggered back over to the side of the ring just in time to see Victoria put me in the Walls of Jericho again. Again I started selling the move by screaming out as if in tremendous pain. I raised my hand as if I was going to tap out, but instead I looped my arms around her legs and pulled her down to the mat just in front of my head. Her back hit the mat with a thud and I rolled her up getting an enormous reaction from the crowd. Victoria was stuck, she couldn't kick out and I got the three count. I stood up and Chris jumped into the ring pulling me into a hug.
While we were in mid embrace, the camera's cut to footage of Trish, the reigning Women's Champion, watching my match with a scowl. Once we got backstage, I was greeted by Trish who congratulated me on the fantastic match. Trish was a friend of Torrie's and she was one of the few people other than Jay who had befriended me since coming to Raw. Once out of the sight of camera's, Chris turned back into his usual asshole self.
"So, next week its gonna be Trish vs. Tish. How appropriate!" He commented. Trish looked at me confused.
"What is he talking about?" she asked raising an eyebrow. I shook my head.
"It's my hair. Now that it is black he seems to think I resemble Morticia Addams. It just goes to shoe you how much of a jackass he really is," I explained. Trish smiled sympathetically at me.
"Aw, I'm sorry sweetie. What do you say we go get changed and then head back to the hotel?" she announced. I shook my head and we walked away from Chris who, by that time, had moved on to talking to Jay about his upcoming title match.
