Raw: June 13, 2011

"Gotta love being at work." I mutter.

"Hey." Randy says. "Lighten up, Rissa. You have a championship match on Sunday."

I smile. "True."

Randy kisses my cheek. "Plus Ted and Cody also had to show up tonight. They don't usually."

"True."

"Do you know if you have a match tonight?"

"Divas Lumberjack Tag Team match."

"Did you get stuck as a Lumberjack again?"

"No. I'm wrestling."

"Good. Your dad should know that you deserve to be in that ring."

"I think he does."

"Well I do too. You're amazing in the ring."

I smile. "Not as amazing as you."

"I'm just really damn good. And I have two years more experience than you."

"True."

"Stop saying true. You say it too much."

"True."

"Rissa…"

"I love you."


Ryse plays with my hair. "So what are you doing with Randy this week?"

"Don't know yet." I reply.

"Oh. Well, Ted and I are having a date Thursday night. Just wanted to give you a heads up."

"Okay. Have fun."

"We will. Is Randy okay? He seems stressed."

I knew he was stressed about the missing money, but I promised to not tell anyone.

"Just stressed about his match on Sunday."

"Oh. Okay."

"I'm stressed about my match on Sunday too."

"Understandable."

"How's hosting NXT?"

"Fun. Gives me something to do while you, the Bella Twins, and Eve get TV time on Raw."

"Sorry about taking it."

"It's fine. You better win on Sunday."

"I will."


As I watch the TV for Randy's segment, I receive a text.

Nathan: Found something suspicious on the security camera footage. Need you and Randy to stop by on Wednesday.

Me: Oh. Okay.

Randy tells Christian to come down to the ring and face him like a man. Christian talks on the titantron before heading to the ring. Randy and Christian brawl. I then notice that Randy isn't looking too good. Security separates the two WWE Superstars. Doctors check up on Randy. The general manager noise goes off.

"You've got to be kidding." I mutter.

"May I have your attention please?" Michael Cole says. "I have received an email from the anonymous Raw General Manager. And I quote, due to Orton's concussion, he cannot compete tonight. Orton is to leave the arena now, and wait until Sunday to get his hands on Christian. If he doesn't comply, there will be no alternative than to strip Orton of his World Heavyweight Championship."

"I agree with the concussion thing, but making Randy leave the arena is fucking bullshit!"

Ted walks in. "Shush. It'll be okay."

I roll my eyes. "Fine."

Ted sits next to me. "You have more power than a stupid computer."

"True. Randy isn't leaving until I do."

"Fuck…" Randy mutters under his breath as he enters the locker-room.

"Are you able to compete Sunday?" I ask.

"Yeah. Just can't for the rest of this week. And I'm supposed to take it easy."

"My poor man."

He kisses my cheek as he sits down. "I'll be okay."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"Good."


You can look, but you can't touch
You keep dreaming on the stars above…
