SmackDown Filming: April 24, 2012
"So you have an interview tonight with Michael Cole?" I ask Randy.
"Yes, I do." Randy shakes his head. "That's all, beautiful."
"Okay, cool. I have something to do tonight, so I won't be around for that."
"John Laurinaitis actually gave you something to do?"
"No, he made something for me to show my face around for. Nikki Bella has a match tonight."
"She does? Are you going to confront the new Divas Champion again?"
"Yeah, I figure if Eve and Laurinaitis won't budge yet, then I'll push to make Nikki want the match. If she wants it, I can get it."
"That's actually a pretty fantastic plan."
"Yeah, I actually think I can make things work with this."
"That's great. I love you, sweetheart."
"I love you too, handsome."
"Man, I would hope so, Rissa."
"We've been married for almost a year now. You should know that I'm in love with you."
"I know. It's mutual. I can't believe we're about to hit a year of being married."
"I know. It's crazy. Wait, we never discussed our anniversary plans. Do we still have time to plan something?"
"I already did. I knew you had a lot going on, so I planned some stuff out for our anniversary."
"Oh, you did? Thank you, Randy."
"Of course. I got May 4th all booked up."
"Thank you. I hope sleeping in is somewhere in there. My sleep has been lacking lately."
"I was accounting for the chance you'd want to sleep in. I'll sleep in with you, and then we'll have an amazing day."
"Okay. That works with me."
"Good. I hope you find the right way to get Nikki to give you the match."
I smile. "Randy, it's me. I'll find a way to get what I want. Hell, if I push Nikki the right way, I may be able to get it at Extreme Rules."
Randy nodded. "Do your thing, sweetheart."
I watch from guerilla as Nikki hits Alicia Fox with a Bella Buster. Nikki pins Alicia.
1…2…3!
"Here is your winner, Nikki Bella!"
I smile as I watch Nikki and Brie celebrate together in the ring. "Does anyone have a microphone that I could use?"
One of the tech guys hands me a microphone. "Right here, ma'am."
"Thank you. Can you play my theme song? I'm going out there."
"On it."
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…
Nikki and Brie stop and cross their arms as I make my way onto the stage. I smile and wave at both twins as the crowd starts chanting my name. John Laurinaitis was going to have a hard time with calming down the WWE Universe's excitement about me.
I wait for the chants to stop before speaking. "Nikki, first and foremost, congratulations on beating Beth Phoenix and becoming Divas Champion. That wasn't something that was easy to do. Believe me, I've been there. Here's the thing though, Nikki. With becoming the Divas Champion, you end up getting targeted because you have the gold. We talked about this Monday during Raw, and I'm gonna tell you this again, twins. I'm coming for the Divas Championship. I'll be your problem. The Divas Championship will be mine as soon as I have the chance to wrestle you, Nikki."
Brie gives me a dirty look as she grabs a microphone. "If you think you can take us on, especially by yourself, why don't you come in this ring and try?"
I smirk. "Nikki, here's some advice, don't let your sister run her mouth and get you into bad situations. It could cost you dearly."
I drop my microphone and start heading towards the ring. Nikki and Brie exchange a look but stand their ground. As soon as I actually enter the ring, Brie runs at me. I hit her with an Arm Drag. I grab Brie off of the ground and hit her with a Chaotic Ending. I then look at Nikki. Nikki watches me.
I approach Nikki. "Listen, we're friends off screen, so I'm gonna be generous here. You don't hit me. I don't hit you. I'm just letting you know that I'm determined to get a Divas Championship match."
Nikki nods. "Okay."
Randy and I are packing up our bags in our locker-room.
Randy starts putting his ring gear in his bag. "I think you are gonna get your match."
I nod. "I think so too. I didn't fight Nikki tonight because we're friends. I'm a bit more generous towards her than I am with Brie, but I want a Divas Championship match. Nikki clearly understands that."
"That's good. Do you think you can get it at Extreme Rules?"
"I don't think it'll be that soon, but it'll be soon."
"I can't wait to watch you wrestle in that match."
Someone knocks on the door. I open it to see Nikki Bella on the other side.
Nikki smiles. "Hey, you got a minute?"
I nod. "Yeah, of course. Randy and I are just packing bags. What's up?"
"Well…I think this is a conversation for behind closed doors. Can we talk inside your locker-room?"
"Of course." I let Nikki in and close the door.
"Thanks. Hey, Randy."
Randy looks at Nikki as he finishes packing his bag and starts finishing up my packing. "Hey, Nikki."
I give Nikki a serious look. "What's going on?"
"I actually want to wrestle you and defend my Divas Championship. However, there's something in the way of that."
"Is it John Laurinaitis?"
Nikki shrugs. "Well, him mainly. His whole little administration really though. Right now, I'm supposed to be wrestling Beth in a rematch at Extreme Rules. However, we both know that she probably won't be cleared. I've already tried to pitch facing you when that happens to Eve. Due to whatever the hell is going on with Eve, she declined that pitch. I'm going to pitch it again on the day of Extreme Rules. Beth won't be cleared, and they'll be desperate to still have a Divas Championship match. I can't guarantee it'll happen, but I'll try to make it happen. I actually want to defend the Divas Championship against you. I know you're a major threat to my reign, but you deserve it. Plus, as champion, I'd like to face some challenges. You'd be a great one. If I lose, I'd still get to have a great match with you."
I smile. "Thank you. You didn't have to do this."
"I know, but we're friends. It's the right thing to do. I'm gonna head out now. I'm sure you two need to go as well. See you Sunday."
"Bye."
Nikki leaves. I close the door behind her before sitting on the couch.
Randy looks at me. "I finished your packing."
"Thanks, stud."
"I bet Nikki would've tried to get you an opportunity if you only asked."
"Maybe, but getting myself confronting her on TV makes the demand of the fans to see us have a championship match increase."
"I see your point. We'll just have to wait and see what happens now."
"You're right."
"You wanna head out now?"
"Of course, Rissa."
