SmackDown Filming: November 22, 2011
I smile as I walk into mine and Randy's locker-room. I put my bag down and sit on the couch. Randy looks at me before joining me on the couch.
"So…" Randy says as he grins at me. "How'd it go?"
I smile back at him. "John Laurinaitis is not allowed to leave off any matches that I have filed for to be made. He is also not allowed to be biased against you due to the hostility between us and him while making matches and running Monday Night Raw. John Laurinaitis will also be reprimanded for his comments towards me about weight. The Board of Directors will also be keeping an eye on him."
"That sounds fantastic. Good for you."
"Good for me? Good for both of us."
Randy smiles. "Yeah, good for both of us."
"It's so nice to get to have stuff work out for the two of us."
"I agree."
"By the way, I talked to Teddy Long. As of now, you don't have a match tonight, but he says that he's still making some more matches and plans on giving you one."
"Oh. Good. I guess that I'll need to change into my ring gear then."
"I don't know. I think you could wrestle in that sweatshirt and pair of jeans. You could wear those tennis shoes instead of wrestling boots."
"Your sarcasm isn't funny, babe."
"I'm pretty sure it is."
"Is it though?"
"It is, and you know it."
Randy starts changing into his ring gear. "I'm not finding it funny."
"Do you want to get laid tonight, babe?"
"Yeah…"
"Then pretend I'm funny."
Randy starts laughing. "You're hilarious, Rissa."
"I know. Listen, I think I'm going to go find Eve and check up on her."
"Okay. Do that."
I sit with Eve in the Divas locker-room. "I didn't realize you weren't even changing in the same locker-room as Cody anymore, Eve."
Eve sighs. "Well…I'm not. I won't change in our shared locker-room until he stops being so obnoxious and we stop fighting."
"That's completely understandable, Eve. Have you thought about what we were talking about yesterday?"
"Yeah, I also talked to both John and Ted about it. I think I'm going to see if Cody would want to try couples therapy."
"I think that's the best plan for you two."
"I think so too. I just worry that he won't respond to it well."
"If he wants to fix your relationship, then he'll have to get over it." I look at Kaitlyn and AJ as they go to leave the locker-room. "Good luck with your match against Beth and Natalya."
"Thanks." Kaitlyn and AJ say before they exit the locker-room.
Eve gives me a serious look. "I'm gonna try to fix things, Rissa, but I'm worried that it won't work."
"Well, you've gotta try and figure it out, Eve." I reply. "That's all you can do."
"I'm trying to make things work, Rissa. Trust me."
"I believe you."
"I think Daniel is cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Mark Henry." Kelly says.
Every Diva in the locker-room stops to look at the television as Daniel brings referee Charles Robinson to the ring and hands him the Money in the Bank briefcase.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Daniel Bryan is cashing in his Money in the Bank contract!"
"Oh shit." I comment.
"Things just got really interesting." Eve adds.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Daniel rolls Mark Henry over and pins him.
1…2…3!
"Here is your winner and the NEW World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan!"
Eve looks at me. "That's your ex."
I roll my eyes. "Don't remind me."
"Alright, I'll be quiet."
Teddy Long comes out and announces that Daniel isn't the World Heavyweight Champion because Mark Henry wasn't cleared to compete. Teddy Long then announces that there will be a Fatal 4 Way tonight to determine who will face Mark Henry in a Steel Cage match for the World Heavyweight Championship next week on SmackDown. The participants are Daniel, Wade Barrett, Cody, and Randy.
I smile. "Now this is interesting."
I pull Randy into a kiss as we're in guerilla. "You'll do great out there."
Randy grins. "I know I will. I could be World Heavyweight Champion again by next week."
"I know. Kick some ass out there, babe."
"I will. I'm gonna head out there now, Rissa."
"Okay. I love you, Randy."
Randy smiles. "I love you too."
I watch Randy walk away with a smile on my face.
Eve and Alicia Fox join me to watch the Fatal 4 Way from a monitor.
I smile at them. "Hey."
"Hey." Eve and Alicia both reply.
"Do you mind if I watch from here too?" Someone asks.
I turn to see Brie Bella. Eve or Alicia don't answer Brie and just look at me as both of them know that Brie and I are far from friends.
I nod. "Yeah, that's fine."
Brie smiles. "Thanks."
Alicia looks at all of us as the match begins. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this my boyfriend, Eve's boyfriend, Brie's boyfriend, and Marissa's husband all wrestling in this Fatal 4 Way right now?"
Eve nods. "You are correct, Alicia. That is all of our boyfriends…well, in Marissa's case, it's her husband. It's all of our significant others."
"That's what I thought. One of us is going to have to worry about her significant other fighting Mark Henry inside a Steel Cage next week."
"If Randy wins," I start. "Then I don't think I'll be worrying about next week as much as I did when he faced Mark at Hell in a Cell."
"That's fair."
"I know it's all of our significant others wrestling in this Fatal 4 Way right now, and that's probably why all four of us are watching from here." Brie comments. "It's got me thinking though. Didn't the four of us wrestle a Fatal 4 Way like last year?"
"Did we?"
"Probably." Eve says. "Our division isn't very big."
"We did." I reply. "It was my first championship defense as Divas Champion after I returned and beat Alicia for the Divas Championship. I think it was my first Raw back."
"Oh yeah."
"I knew I wasn't just imagining that." Brie says.
"Here is your winner, Daniel Bryan!"
Brie heads towards the curtain to wait on Daniel without a word. Cody attacks Daniel from behind. Randy gets behind Cody and hits him with an RKO before heading backstage.
Alicia rolls her eyes. "Men."
Eve laughs. "No kidding."
