SmackDown Filming: September 6, 2011
I'm doing push ups in my locker-room in preparation for my match against Natalya later tonight when Randy walks in with a bag full of copies of WWE '12.
I give him a confused look as I stop doing push ups. "Do I wanna ask?"
Randy shrugs. "I have to sign these since I'm on the cover."
"Oh okay."
"I'm wrestling Cody tonight."
"Okay."
"He told me that Eve isn't cleared to be at ringside tonight, so if Beth comes with Natalya, you're gonna have a disadvantage. Unless you want me to come with you."
"I'll handle it and still be able to manage you. Don't worry about me."
"Okay."
("New Foundation" plays)
"The following Divas match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Beth Phoenix, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Natalya!"
I know I want that girl so bad
I lie awake at night
And think of all the things that I would do
With a girl like that…
"And her opponent, from Saint Louis, Missouri, she is the WWE Divas Champion, Marissa Orton!"
Ding! Ding! Ding!

I change into clothes to manage Randy in a little bit. "I just want to finish this at Night of Champions. No games. No playing around. Just finishing this."
Randy nods as he laces up his boots. "I absolutely understand what you mean."
"I'm sure you feel the same way about Mark."
"I do. We're kind of in similar situations here. Beth and Mark are the most dominant people in our divisions. We're the champions, and they want our championships."
I glance over where both my Divas Championship and Randy's World Heavyweight Championship are laying. "I know what you mean. I've beat her before though. Hell, I did it last month at SummerSlam."
Randy pulls me over to sit with him. "I know. I think you'll be fine."
"I hope so."
"It's weird because my biggest worry about Mark Henry isn't protecting myself or my championship reign. It's protecting you. I know you're capable of being careful, but it's Mark Henry and that YouTube clip just made worry just like I did back then."
I look at Randy. "Honestly, I've been thinking about it a lot since we watched it on YouTube too."
Randy kisses my forehead. "I know. Let's get ready to head to guerilla."
"Okay."
("Undashing" plays)
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Marietta, Georgia, weighing in at 220 pounds, he is the Intercontinental Champion, Cody Rhodes!"
I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They talk to me…
"And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Marissa, from Saint Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is the World Heavyweight Champion, the Apex Predator, Randy Orton!"

"He didn't."
