RAW
Raw opens with Chris Jericho in the Ring for the Highlight Reel.
"Good Evening Jericoholics all over the world, and welcome to tonight's edition of the Highlight Reel!"
The crowd cheers, and Jericho smirks and walks around the ring.
"Tonight, my guest is one of the most loved young divas in the WWE. At the tender age of 17, she has quickly risen to the top and has even made a few friends. Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to one half of the Women's Tag Team champions…ARI CENA!"
I'm the baddest chick!
Ari Cena came down to the ring wearing a pair of tight low-rise jeans and a black tank top underneath a blue button down. On her feet, instead of the usual tennis shoe or Wrestling boot, she had on three inch stilettos. She got into the ring, and waved at the crowd and gave Chris a friendly hug.
"Well, well, well, little Miss Cena looks all grown up!" Chris smirked.
"Hey Chris, how are you? And how are you St. Louis?" she screamed. The crowd cheered and they clappedforher.
"Well, Ari, here's the one question that's on everyone's mind…How's it feel to be half of the first ever Women's Tag Team Champ and the youngest person ever to be in the WWE?"
"How does it feel to be one half of the first ever women's Tag Team Champions…well Chris, how do you think it feels? LIKE HEAVEN! I love this! It's awesome to have a belt…and right now, my whole family has one…My dad's WWE Champ…my Uncle is World Heavyweight Champ…My brother is US Champ…and I'm ½ of the first ever women's tag team championship. This is AWESOME! I mean, right now, my family is the most important thing to me, and I really get a great feeling to be in the WWE. The fans are the greatest people in the world, and everyone is so wonderful to me. I think that I have seriously grown up in the past 9 months."
"That's wonderful…but there's just one more thing on everyone's mind…What's going on between you and Shelton Benjamin?"
"Well, me and Shelton are extremely close. We always have been, seeing how he's my brother's best friend and tag team partner. And there is no real definition to what we are, because we're not officially dating, and we're more than friends." She said, blushing.
"Well, that's… that's confusing. What's with the new look?"
"Well, there's more to this look…you'll find out why I'm not in baggy jeans and a beater but…it's a surprise, and you'll find out later on tonight." She smiled, then left the ring shaking and dancing around to the beat of her music.
COMERCIAL BREAK
MATT CENA DEF. HURRICANE IN NON-TITLE MATCH
Ari Cena is walking down the hall and bumps into an angry Carmella.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? A little slut?"
"Wow Carmella, a whole sentence, that's progress, Ms. 'I'm a Playboy Playmate'"
"You know, it's all your fault that Shelton broke up with me."
"No he broke up with you because Stacy Keibler caught you coming out of Christian's locker room you little skank!"
Carmella reared back and slapped Ari so hard her face snapped to the right. She smirked and slowly turned her head back, her eyes locked on Carmella, Ari pulled her hand back and punched her in the face, sending her to the ground. Ari kicked her repeatedly, then squatted down near her head.
"Next week, it's me and you in a match…we're gonna play! WORDLIFE BH!" then she walked off, tears in her eyes. She turned the corner and bumped into Shelton Benjamin, who was coming to investigate the commotion he'd heard.
"Ari, what's up, Shorty?" he said, concerned when he seen the tears in her eyes.
"That little bh, I swear, I'm gonna…UGH!" she said, collapsing in his arms and bursting into tears.
"Ari? Tell me what's going on baby girl."
"I was coming from doing my highlight reel with Jericho to get ready for my surprise tonight, and I ran into Carmella. We exchanged words, and she slapped me. So I beat the hell out of her, and challenged her to a match next week." She said, wiping her eyes.
"You're crying because of that?"
"No, it's because of…Shelton?"
"Yeah?"
"Did I ruin your relationship with Carmella?"
"No way baby girl…she cheated on me, remember?"
"I know, but I just feel like I don't belong sometimes, you know?"
"Why?"
"Because I'm not all glam like the rest of them…I shop a Hot Topic, while all of the other divas shop at Abercrombie."
"You DO remember who your tag partner is, right?" he laughed.
"Seriously though, how can anyone take me seriously as a Diva if I dress in baggy jeans with a pair of boxers sticking out of the top with a wife beater all the time?"
"Ari," he said, putting his arms around her waist. "Out of all the Divas around here, you're the only one I know that's for real. I mean, you never beat around the bush, you're not always trying to look good for everyone, you're just…you. And honestly, that's all I need."
"Word?"
"Word." He said softly, capturing her lips in a kiss.
"Well Mark, looks like Ari now knows what Shelton is to her!"
"I know, I wonder what The Rock, Matt Cena, and more importantly, John Cena's going to think about that." Mark answered, looking over at Eddie.
CHARLIE HAASDEF. AJ STYLES
COMERCIAL BREAK
LITA DEF. TRISH STRATUS
HARDY BOYZDEF.EDGE AND CHRISTIAN
COMERCIAL BREAK
The ring is covered in a red carpet, and there are two chairs in the ring. Ari Cena comes out hand in hand with Matt Cena, both dressed in black pants and blue shirts, though Ari's pants and shirt were considerably tighter. Then to their own music, each of the fallowing comes out: Shelton Benjamin, The Rock, Randy Orton, Team X-Treme, Christy Hemme, and AJ Styles, All wearing blue tops and black bottoms of varying designs and styles, from Shelton's royal blue t-shirt andbaggy black jeans, to Amy's black skirt with chains hanging off of it and a blue tank top, to Jeff's bondage pants and blue fishnet shirt. Ari gets a mike from a tech guy and spoke to the crowd.
"Well, as I told you guys at the head of the show…I have a surprise for you guys. Today is a special day, and everyone in the ring has been affected by this. Today is my dad's big 4-0. Yeah, the Doc is about near retirement! Well, I'd like my dad to come out here."
So, you think you're untouchable?
John Cena came out, looking confused. He grabbed a mike and turned to his daughter.
"So you're not throwing me a party?"
"This is the party dad, but it's not really a party. It's to honor you." She said, smiling up at him.
"What?"
"Yeah, so roll the tape!"
The titantron showed a tape of John's first match. It progressed to him having battles with Kurt Angle, and the Big Show, and Kenzo Suzuki. Then it showed the stabbing, and the battle to recovery he made. Then it showed him wining the World Heavyweight Title. At the end they showed a picture of him along with Matt and Ari. Ari was around 9, and Matt was 11. Ari had the word "WORD" across her right fist, and Matt had the word "LIFE" across his left. They had their fists side by side so that their hands read "Wordlife" and John was behind them with the brass knucks on. They were smiling and behind them was The Staples Center, where John won his WWE title first time.
The audience cheered and clapped as they watched the tape. John had tears in his eyes as he looked at his kids.
"You two put that together?"
"No, Ari did," Matt said, eyeing his little sister.
"Dad, everyone in this ring right now is affected by you in some way, be it, Brothers, friends, mentors, anything. You've affected everyone here in some way. But there's just one person missing." Ari turns to the ramp, and "Work It" by Missy Elliot comes on. The fans screamed as they figured out who it was coming down the ramp.
"OH MY GOD, IT'S AC CENA!" Mark shouted.
AC Cena came down the ramp, as John climbed out of the ring. The second his feet hit the ground, AC dived in his arms and they shared a passionate kiss. John reached up and took the mike from his daughter and looked down at his wife.
"Baby, what are you doing here?" he said, amazed.
"Now come on John, do you REALLY think that after being married for 11 years I'd forget your birthday? Honey, Ari called me and told me to catch a flight to St. Louis for your birthday Celebration."
"Dad, we have some things to do for you. The movie was just the beginning. Come on and sit down." Ari said, looking at her dad. He helped AC into the ring and then climbed in himself. He sat in the chair, and smiled as the song started playing in the arena. Ari looked at her dad and began to sing.
I remember when you use to take me on a
Bike ride everyday on the bayou (you remember that? we were inseparable)
And I remember when you could do no wrong
You'd come home from work and I jumped in your arms when I saw you
I was so happy to see you (I was so excited, so happy to see you)
Ari was singing her heart out, and the RAW audience was clapping to the beat of the song.
Because you loved me I overcome
And I'm so proud of what you've become
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I make you're there for me
You kill my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understood my fears and you protected me
Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that's why
I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you for loving me
I still remember the expression on your face
When you found out I'd been on a date and had a boyfriend (my first boyfriend, you should have seen your face)
AC poked John in his side and laughed as Ari sang those lyrics and mouthed the word "Lamar". John rolled his eyes and laughed to himself.
I still remember I caught you crying cause of my tattoo
Could have said Beyonce I told you so
Instead you said you'd get one too (even my mama said y'all get one just like mine)
Words can't express my boundless gratitude for you
I appreciate what you do
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I make you're there for me
You kill my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understand my fears and you protected me
Treasure every extraordinary memory and that's why
I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you for loving me
By this point, Ari had tears in her eyes, and she was holding John's hand as she got to the most powerful part of the song.
Even if my man broke my heart today
No matter how much pain I'm in, I will be okay
Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced
For this love is unconditional it won't go away
I know I'm lucky
Know it ain't easy
For men who take care of their responsibilities
Love is overwhelming
Can't help my tears from falling
I love you so much daddy
(Thank you, you've done so much for me. I love you daddy.)
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
There is no one else like my daddy
No one else replaces my daddy...
The audience cheered and clapped as the girl hugged her father. The two of them were both crying, Ari more than John, of course, who was trying to keep his cool. Then AC stood up and took the mike.
"John baby, I'm so proud of everything you've accomplished, both here in the WWE, and at home with the kids. With everything we've been through…there's nothing left to say, but I love you."
I love you
Baby I love you
You are my life
My happiest moments weren't complete
If you weren't by my side
You're my relation
In connection to the sun
With you next to me
There's no darkness I can't overcome
You are my raindrop
I am the sea
With you and God, who's my sunlight
I bloom and grow so beautifully
Baby, I'm so proud
So proud to be your girl
You make the confusion
Go all away
From this cold and messed up world
I am in love with you
You set me free
I can't do this thing
Called life without you here with me
Cause I'm Dangerously In Love with you
I'll never leave
Just keep lovin' me
The way I love you loving me
John smiled at his wife, and she continued the song.
And I know you love me
Love me for who I am
Cause years before I became who I am
Baby you were my man
I know it ain't easy
Easy loving me
I appreciate the love and dedication
From you to me
Later on in my destiny
I see myself having your child
I see myself being your wife
And I see my whole future in your eyes
Thought of all my love for you
sometimes make me wanna cry
Realize all my blessings
I'm grateful
To have you by my side
I am in love with you
You set me free
I can't do this thing
Called life without you here with me
Cause I'm Dangerously In Love with you
I'll never leave
Just keep lovin' me
The way I love you loving me
AC took her husband's hand and he stood up, taking her in his arms. They slowly danced as she finished the song.
Every time I see your face
My heart smiles
Every time it feels so good
It hurts sometimes
Created in this world
To love and to hold
To feel
To breathe
To love you
Dangerously in love
Can't do this thing
I love you , I love you, I love you
I'll never leave
Just keep on loving me
I'm in love with you
I can not do
I cannot do anything without you in my life
Holding me, kissing me, loving me
Dangerously
I love you
Dangerously in love
John kissed his wife, and then, Matt took the Mike.
"Pop, I don't have no song to sing, case I can't sing, and there's no real song to describe how thankful I am that you're here. I mean, seriously, I don't know where me and Munchkin would be if you hadn't adopted us, and honestly, I think we'd be dead; me and her. So I want to say thanks for picking us, and for introducing me to my first love," he said, motioning to his belt.
John just smiled and hugged his son.
"Thanks for this guys, I honestly can say this is the best birthday I've had in a while…ARI'S Birthday is next!" He smirked. Everyone laughed, and They slowly left the ring to John's theme song.
RAW ENDS
Ari's POV
As everyone came backstage, I laughed to my self. 'We got him, we actually got him!' I'd made it through my song without completely breaking down, and mom was SO pretty, and dad was SO busted. He actually thought I was throwing him a surprise party! I ran to the corner where'd I'd hidden my present and came back just in time to see my parents come into gorilla.
"WE SO GOT YOU!" Uncle Randy smirked, hugging Aunt B, who'd been in his locker room waiting for dad to come back.
"Yeah, you guys caught me slipping…yeah, I know that now. That was awesome guys…I can't believe my baby girl put all that together! It was amazing…wait a sec. MARK put that tape together! I saw him give it to you yesterday."
"Now father, were you spying on me?" I laughed mischeviously, handing Matt the presents.
"Well, yeah, I kinda did, but only because I wanted to know what you were planning!"
"We let you think that you were getting a surprise party so you wouldn't figure that out!" I laughed. Just then, dad's cell rang.
"Hello? Hey Kit Cat! Your mom let you watch? Oh, I knew she wouldn't. What do you mean you knew about it? Remind me to kill that cousin of yours. Tell mom and dad I love them and I'll call them later, okay? Love you too, Katie, Bye." He hung up the phone and chased me down the hall and all over backstage for not telling him bout the surprise and telling Katie so she watched with grandma and grandpa.
"Get back here little girl!" he screamed, turning a corner.
"Get over it dad, you know you love me!" I laughed. He caught me and wrestled me to the ground.
"Yeah, I know princess." He laughed, breathless. "but that doesn't mean you don't get it for tricking me!" he started tickling me and soon I was screaming for him to stop. Matt caught up with us and helped me out. We sat down and Matt gave dad his gifts, and we eventually made it back to the hotel where mom took him out for his birthday. Shelton, Matt, Rome, Amy, Matt, Jeff, Shane, AJ, Christy and me all went back to the room and watched SAW after we put the twins to bed. I was scared shitless…I hated it so much. Rome and Shelton teased me about it forever. Eventually, we all feel asleep in various parts of the room only to be awakened by a 5 year old's crying.
