Raw: August 1, 2011

I rush over to the girls when I see them. "Hey, happy to see all of you and all that. Do any of you have anything to cover hickeys?"

Ryse looks at me. "So the honeymoon in Bora Bora was fun? I have some concealer in mine and Ted's locker-room."

"Oh my gosh. You're a lifesaver. And it was phenomenal."

"Why are you in such a rush?"

"I just found out I have commentary duty tonight during the Battle Royal."

"We have plenty of time."

"I'm trying to avoid anyone else seeing. I accidentally showed while talking to Triple H earlier and got an earful from him about it. Plus, Mr. John Laryngitis is here tonight, and he'll tell the Board of Directors that I'm unprofessional."

Eve looks at me. "Ew. It can't be that bad. Also, Laurinaitis? Gross."

I roll my eyes. "You're telling me. And it's bad. I'll show you if we can make it to that locker-room."

Ryse smiles. "I'll lead the way."

Ryse, Eve, and I enter the locker-room. Randy, Cody, Ted, John, and Chelle are already there.

Ryse looks at me. "Are you good with us covering it up while so many people are in here?"

I nod. "These are the same people staying at my house. Plus, the dumbass who did this to me is in here, so they may already know."

Randy looks at me. "What did I do?"

I move my hair to expose two hickeys on my neck. "This. Turns out I have commentary duty tonight. Plus, Triple H saw this and gave me a lecture."

"I would say I'm sorry, but I'm not. Plus, even if they do show, everyone will know that they're from me. You don't sleep with any other person."

"But I'll get in trouble for this on TV, and John Laryngitis is here tonight. He'll tell the Board of Directors that I'm unprofessional. I'm trying to keep my corporate position."

"Wait." John says. "Laurinaitis is here? Son of bitch."

"That's what I said."

"Well, I'm gonna go chat with Triple H about that." John stops and looks at me as he approaches the door. "Damn, Randal. What did you do to her?"

Randy shrugs and smiles at me. "Honestly, a lot of things."

John rolls his eyes. "I'm gonna go."

Chelle walks over to look at my neck. "It can't be that bad…damn. The honeymoon was that intense?"

"Actually," I say. "Technically only one of those happened during the honeymoon. The other happened this afternoon."

"What were you guys doing this afternoon?"

"We spent a little too much time in the hotel room because Indianapolis doesn't seem to have much to interest either of us."

Chelle rolls her eyes. "I can't with you two sometimes."

"Anyway," I say as Ryse starts covering the hickeys for me. "The honeymoon was literally the best thing ever. I'm so spoiled."

Randy smiles. "I did good."

"Yeah. You did amazing."

"We were stalking your Instagrams." Eve says.

"Really?"

Ted shrugs. "We're nosey. We wanted to know what cool things you did. Also, I'm stealing the beach picnic idea."

Randy looks at Ted. "You don't say that in front of your fiancée. I have no problem with you doing that, but don't say it in front of her."

Cody laughs. "Ted doesn't have any common sense."

Ted looks at them both annoyed. "Screw you. You're wrong."

Ryse smiles at me. "You're good."

"Thanks." I reply. "Randy, I love you."

"I love you too, beautiful." Randy replies.

I watched on from Commentary as the Divas who were in the Battle Royal walked into the ring. I sat in my chair next to Jim Ross as I thought about who could win this Battle Royal to get an opportunity to face me at SummerSlam. Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole were doing Commentary as well, bickering per usual. Jim Ross greets me, and I give him a small smile as I put on my headset. As I think about it, I'm honestly hoping Eve will win, but I'd be open to facing multiple other people who are in this match, mainly Beth Phoenix or either one of the Bella Twins.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

I smirk as Beth Phoenix immediately eliminates Melina. I wave at Melina when she glares my way.

I hear Michael Cole making an asshole kind of comment about the Divas. "Cole, you need to shut up."

The three commentators start talking about the match.

I see that Gail Kim has been eliminated from the battle royal as well. Natalya eliminates Rosa Mendes.

Jim Ross looks at me. "Marissa, do you have your eye on anybody in particular?"

"Um…" I say. "I always have my eyes on Eve. There is always the Bellas, Beth Phoenix…anybody could win this. I'm looking forward to defending my Divas Championship at SummerSlam."

Tamina eliminates Kaitlyn. Beth eliminates Tamina as well.

Michael Cole looks at me. "Marissa, I have been meaning to ask you about something. The Bellas said that they had to airbrush your pictures in Maxim to make you look good."

I roll my eyes. "Cole, my Maxim pictures weren't photoshopped. Those are legitimate pictures. Of course, you hate my guts, so you're going to hate on me as much as you can. Those are legitimate pictures."

Alicia Fox eliminates AJ Lee.

Jerry looks at Michael. "Get in the 21st century. They don't airbrush. They photoshop."

I laugh. "Yeah, Cole. I've seen your pictures in the program. They must've done a lot to those."

The Bella Twins eliminate Natalya. Eve eliminates Alicia Fox.

I smile as I realize all of the people I listed are the only people left.

"Marissa," Michael says. "What if Eve wins and you have to face one of your best friends and former teammates at SummerSlam?"

"Well," I say. "Then may the best woman win."

One of the Bella Twins eliminates Eve. Beth Phoenix, in an amazing feat of strength, lifts one Bella Twin onto each shoulder and dumps them out of the ring, winning the Battle Royal. I immediately take off my headset.

"Here is your winner and the number one contender for the WWE Divas Championship, Beth Phoenix!"

I stand up with my Divas Championship on my shoulder and clap for Beth a little bit. While we didn't always get along with each other, I always enjoy facing Beth in the ring and feel that she is one of the people who brings out the best in me in the ring. We've faced each other numerous times, and I'm thrilled to do so once more at SummerSlam.

Beth and I lock eyes. She rolls out of the ring and stands in front of me.

"Congratulations, Beth." I say only loud enough to her. "I'll be honest. I like facing you in the ring, and I'm looking forward to doing so once more."

Beth speaks at the same volume level. "I'm looking forward to it as well, Marissa."

I extend a hand to her. "May the best woman win."

Beth shakes my hand. "May the best woman win."

I watch as Beth goes to walk away. However, she quickly turns around and punches me in the face. As I'm recovering, she grabs me by my hair and throws me into the barricade.

Beth grabs a microphone. "Oh, Marissa, your days as the perky, cute, blonde little bimbo are officially over."

Beth drops the microphone on me and starts to walk away as her theme song plays. I feel anger rising inside of me.

A bimbo? Who does that bitch think she's talking to? I tried to be sportsmanlike with Beth as I respect her in the ring, but calling me a bimbo is uncalled for.

I shove away the referees that go to check on me. "I'm fine."

I pick up my championship as I stand up. My eyes find Beth smiling at the end of the ramp. I figure I might as well go for it. I start to approach her as referees try to stop me. She tries to come towards me, but referees go to stop her.

Beth glares at me as referees are pulling her back and fans are cheering to let me and Beth fight. "You're mine, bitch."

I glare back at her as referees try to guard me from getting to her. "Please, at SummerSlam, Beth, I'll make you my bitch."
