Raw: February 20, 2012
I walk into Catering to find Eve. "I have information that will interest you greatly."
Eve smiled. "Please sit."
I sit down. "I just talked to a few members of Creative. They're currently working on writing out a storyline for the Divas match at WrestleMania."
"Do you know what match they intend on having us do?"
"They want a basic Tag Team match with who they view as the top two faces in the division going against the top two heels in the division, so they want to make it me and Kelly against you and Beth since you're turning heel tonight."
"I don't like being around Beth, but I could work with that for a WrestleMania match."
"Just keep the WrestleMania match in sight."
"Exactly. Do you have a match tonight?"
"Yeah, I'm teaming with Kelly to face Nikki and Brie."
"Sounds like fun. I have a few segments with John and a few others. I think Nikki and Brie are included with that."
"Good luck with that. Hope everything goes well, and the fans despise you."
Eve laughs. "Me too, Rissa. I hope they support you heavily as a face."
"I think that'll work just fine."
"That's good to hear. Did you happen to hear anything else from Creative?"
"I know who they want to set Randy up with his WrestleMania match once he's recovered from his concussion."
"Who would that be?"
"Kane, which means a rough match for sure for Randy, but that will also be a popularity boost for the match since Kane just ended his rivalry with John."
"That sounds great and bad all at the same time."
"I guess it just depends on how you take things."
"I'm sure Randy will be fine either way."
"It's on his birthday. He'll bust his ass to win."
"Yeah, he will be just fine. It is Randy after all."
"Exactly."
You can look, but you can't touch
You keep dreaming on the stars above…
"The following is a Divas Tag Team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Scottsdale, Arizona, Nikki and Brie, the Bella Twins!"
Holla, holla, holla
So all my girls in the club say hm
'Cause you know just how we do
Side to side, front to back
If you ain't taking that…
"And their opponents, first, from Jacksonville, Florida, Kelly Kelly!"
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 partner, from Saint Louis, Missouri, the Queen of Chaos, Marissa Orton!"
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Kelly starts the match off against Brie. They lock up, and Brie shoves Kelly into a corner. Kelly runs back at her, with the intent of nailing Brie with a Clothesline, but Brie dodges and hits Kelly with a Dropkick. Brie pins Kelly.
1…2…kickout!
Brie grabs Kelly and throws her into the Bella Twins' corner. Nikki tags in, and they double team Kelly. Nikki pins Kelly.
1…2…
I break the pin. Brie comes in after me, but I Clothesline her to the outside of the ring before returning to my side of the apron. Nikki and Kelly exchange punches. Kelly kicks Nikki in the gut and goes for the K2, but Nikki avoids it and rolls Kelly into a pin.
1…2…kickout!
Nikki goes to grab Kelly, but Kelly Irish Whips Nikki into the corner. Kelly does a Handspring Elbow on Nikki and pins her.
1…2…kickout!
Kelly throws Nikki into our corner and finally tags me in.
I pull Nikki into the middle of the ring and lock in a Sleeper Hold. She elbows me and forces me to release. She goes to Clothesline me, but I duck and hit an Arm Drag when Nikki rebounds off the ropes back in my direction. I drop a knee on Nikki before climbing up to the top turnbuckle. Brie climbs up onto the apron next to me, so I kick her off. Nikki climbs up onto the turnbuckle. We start exchanging punches. I stun Nikki before hitting a Sunset Flip Powerbomb, landing a pin position.
1…2…
Brie breaks up the pin. She nails me with a Clothesline. Kelly tries to even things up, but the referee goes to stop her from getting involved. Brie pulls Nikki out of the ring. I motion for Kelly to let me handle it. Out of the corner of my eye, unbeknownst to her, I see Brie slide in the ring to take Nikki's place.
I grab Brie, and she goes to roll me into a pin. However, I roll through and lock in an Armbar. Brie taps out.
"Here are your winners, Kelly Kelly and Marissa Orton!"
I roll out of the ring and pull Kelly to me. "You know, we can definitely keep this up for WrestleMania."
Kelly smiled. "You know it."
I slowly walk into Teddy Long's office. "Hey, Teddy. I think we need to talk."
Teddy smiles. "What's up, playa?"
"I saw that bit you had with Laurinaitis and David Otunga earlier. He's finally coming for your job."
Teddy sighed. "We both knew it was coming."
"We did, and you need to fight him over this. This company will go through hell if John Laurinaitis ends up running both Raw and SmackDown."
"This is going to split the roster. It won't be good."
"You're not wrong, Teddy, but it's unavoidable."
"Laurinaitis already has part of the roster supporting him. He's also got David Otunga acting as his legal counsel, who is also a member of the roster. That's going to make more people want to side with Laurinaitis."
"Trust me, Teddy, David Otunga is not very popular among the members of the roster. I believe there's plenty of people who will side with you on this."
"What if they're afraid to fight against Laurinaitis? Otunga could pull some of his lawyer tricks."
"There's plenty of people on this roster who won't be. Hell, I'm in to help you already. That's why I'm here. David Otunga and I have a little bit of unfinished business anyway. Plus, I have a bachelor's degree in legal studies. I can fight whatever bullshit Otunga tries. As for John Laurinaitis himself, after what he said to me last week, I will not hesitate to do what I have to do to send his ass packing out of here. I'll make it obvious I'm siding with you. The roster will see that, and you'll gain allies. Then, we're taking Laurinaitis down with whatever it takes. I'm done playing games. I will not be stopping until he's gone."
