Extreme Rules: April 29, 2012

I look at Randy as he was preparing for his match tonight. "Is it just me or do you look extra handsome tonight?"

Randy smirks. "I'm always handsome in the same amount, but believe what you want."

"You're always the most handsome man. There's no doubt about that."

"If that's the case, it's good we're married because you're always the most beautiful woman."

I smile. "You're gonna make me start blushing, Randy."

"Good. You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I want to just kiss you so much."

I bite my lip. "You are going to drive me crazy."

Randy settles down next to me on the couch. "Going to? Oh, sweetheart, we both know that I always drive you crazy. You drive me crazy too. All kinds of crazy. I can never get enough of you, Rissa."

I smile as he caresses my cheek. "Maybe after the pay per view tonight, you can have me."

"I'd love that, Rissa. You are amazing."

"So are you. I can't believe our wedding anniversary is in five days."

"I'm so excited."

"Me too. Should I go put on gear just in case?"

"Have you heard from Nikki yet?"

"No…maybe I should."

"It's up to you."

I nod as I receive a text.

Nikki: Eve just told me that Beth isn't cleared, but there is still a Divas Championship match. I don't know for sure if it's you or not though.

Me: Okay. Thanks for letting me know.

I give Randy a serious look. "I need to put my ring gear on."

Randy gives me a confused look. "Do you have your match?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but I might have a chance."

"Go get your gear on."

I get up and start changing into my ring gear. "I'm gonna throw a huge fit if I don't get this match."

"Aren't you sounding spoiled?"

"Maybe that's because I get spoiled by a certain someone."

Randy clasped my top for me. "That guy must be crazy for doing something like that. He'll just have you wanting more."

"Ya know, I think he wants me that way."

"Perhaps he does."

We're about to kiss when someone knocks on our door.

"Who's going to get that?" Randy whispers.

"I guess I will." I whisper back to him. "We both know I'm better at getting people to leave."

Randy chuckles. "You're not, but believe what you want. I'd rather make you get the door anyway."

"You're an asshole."

The person knocks on the door again. I roll my eyes at Randy before going to get the door. I open the door to see Eve.

Eve crosses her arms as she looks at me. "Beth isn't cleared tonight. We're doing a Championship Scramble for the Divas Championship instead. You're entrant number three. This is the only chance you're getting."

Eve walks away so quickly that I don't even have a chance to reply to her. I roll my eyes before closing the door.

Randy smiles at me. "So…?"

"I have a match tonight." I reply with a smile.

"For the Divas Championship? That's great!" Randy pulls me into his arms.

"Well…"

"What's wrong?"

"It's a Championship Scramble match, Randy."

"Damn, that's weird. Quite the odd match stipulation to bring back so suddenly. Seems like they don't want somebody to be the Divas Champion."

"It's me. I'm the somebody who they don't want to become Divas Champion. Eve made it very clear that it's my only chance."

"Well, you'll just have to take it. You live for spiting people."

"I do. Do we know anyone who was in one?"

"I think Chris won one of them."

"He's got a match tonight. He should be here. Do we know where his locker-room is?"

"I think we passed it on our way here."

"Fantastic, let's go bug him before I have to walk with you to guerilla for your match."

Chris looks at me and Randy after we explain the situation that I'm in to him. "A Championship Scramble match? That's really odd. Aren't you lucky that I happened to have won one of those?"

I sigh. "Is there any wisdom that you can share?"

"Of course. What entrant are you, Rissa?"

"I'm third."

"Alright, you'll be in the match for fifteen minutes then. The best advice from me? Don't use a lot of energy until the fifth entrant is out there. Who's in this match?"

"I only know Nikki Bella is since she's the Divas Champion."

Chris shakes his head. "Someone is trying to make it hard for someone to have the Divas Championship."

"First someone is John Laurinaitis. The second someone is me."

"Well, I hope you go get it anyway."

"Me too, Chris. Anything else that I should know?"

"That you're a much better wrestler than you let yourself believe. If you won't hear it from me, Randy will tell you the same thing. Don't be doubting yourself, and don't let Laurinaitis get in your head."

"Thanks, you're a great friend."

"I know."

Randy wraps his arm around me. "We really appreciate this, Chris, but my match is the first one. We need to get to guerilla. See you later."

"Alright, see you later, and good luck to both of you."

I sat in my locker-room to watch Randy's match against Kane on the TV. It was a Falls Count Anywhere match, so I'd decided to stay in my locker-room to avoid being around it at all, as Randy wanted me far away from it. I hear a knock on my door.

"It's open." I answer.

The door quietly opens, and Layla walks in, wearing ring gear.

I look at Layla. "Hey! I knew you were cleared to compete, but I didn't know you were here tonight."

Layla smiles. "I'm here, and I'm in that Championship Scramble match tonight. I had a feeling that you were too. You're wearing ring gear, so am I correct?"

"Yes, you're correct. Pretty sure this was the only way John Laurinaitis was going to give me a Divas Championship match. I've been left in the dark for the most part, and there's four opponents. I only know of Nikki Bella and now you."

"Well, the other two are Brie and Natalya. I saw them both in gear earlier."

"Thanks for the heads up. What entrant are you?"

Layla smirks. "I'm fifth. I think I have the advantage."

"Seems like it. Why are you letting me know all of this stuff?"

"Because you're a good friend. Plus, we'll be dealing with both Bella Twins. It'd be nice to have an ally in there."

I nod. "Of course, but I still want to win."

"We work together against the Bellas and Natalya before we wrestle each other to determine who will be Divas Champion at the end of that match."

"Sounds like a plan."

I cross my arms as Randy and I watch as we wait for the beginning of the Championship Scramble match for the Divas Championship.

Randy pulls me close. "You're gonna do great. You're gonna be fine. You can win the Divas Championship tonight."

I nod as I look at him. "I hope so. We already got one winner in this marriage tonight."

"I'd be glad to watch you make it two."

You can look, but you can't touch
You keep dreaming on the stars above…

"The following is a Championship Scramble match and it is for the WWE Divas Championship! Introducing first, from Scottsdale, Arizona, Brie Bella!"

Brie does her entrance. The Bella Twins theme song continues to play.

"And next, from Scottsdale, Arizona, the WWE Divas Champion, Nikki Bella!"

Nikki also does her entrance. The twins stand across from each other in the ring.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The twins don't move to fight each other. I frown as I look at the ground.

Randy and I both notice Brock Lesnar and John Laurinaitis enter guerilla. However, John Cena also enters guerilla and joins us.

"Don't let the presence of Brock or Laurinaitis get under your skin, Rissa." Cena whispers.

"I won't." I reply. "Don't let Randal get into arguments with either of them while I'm out there."

"Of course."

Randy rolls his eyes. "Whatever. Good luck, sweetheart."

I nod. "Thanks, Randy."

Randy kisses my forehead as they start the countdown to my entrance. "Go steal the show and kick some ass."

"I will."

The twins hadn't wrestled each other at all. Nikki looked towards the stage to see the countdown to my entrance. Brie rolls Nikki into a pin.

1…2…3!

Brie becomes the new Divas Champion, for now.

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…

I slowly made my way towards the ring. Once I climb into the ring, Nikki and Brie both go after me. They work together to hit me with a Suplex. Brie grabs me, but Nikki hits Brie before throwing her out of the ring. Nikki grabs me and hits me with a Bella Buster. Nikki pins me.

1…2…kickout!

As I recover on the ground, Brie gets back in the ring. The twins start to fight each other. I get myself up in a corner and watch Brie toss Nikki directly into a turnbuckle before throwing her sister outside of the ring. I get behind Brie and hit her with a DDT. I pin Brie as the countdown for the next entrant, which should be Natalya, starts.

1…2…kickout!

("New Foundation" plays)

Natalya starts heading towards the ring. I hit Brie with a Clothesline to the outside of the ring before locking eyes with Natalya as she enters the ring.

Natalya runs at me in an attempt to hit me with a Clothesline. I duck and hit her with an elbow. I grab Natalya and hit her with a Suplex before pinning her.

1…

Brie breaks the pin. She throws Natalya into a corner before stomping on her. I'm recovering in a corner when Nikki runs at me and hits Running Forearm. Nikki then hits Brie with a Clothesline. Nikki grabs Natalya and tosses her to the outside of the ring. Brie attempts to roll me into a pin, but I roll through and nail her with a Dropkick. I grab Nikki and hit her with a German Suplex before picking her up in a Fireman's Carry position for the Picture Perfect. Brie gets up and comes after me. I kick Brie in the gut before also picking her up on top of Nikki. As I have both Bella Twins in the Fireman's Carry position, I hit a Picture Perfect. Brie rolls out of the ring, so I pin Nikki instead.

1…2…3!

I smile because as of now I'm Divas Champion. I go to get a second to get some breath, but Natalya enters the ring and throws me into a turnbuckle. She locks in the Sharpshooter on Nikki as the countdown for the final entrant, Layla, starts. Nikki taps out, making Natalya the current Divas Champion.

You're not enough for me (Oh no no)

Just another man in love with me (Just another man ooh)

Gotta open up your eyes and see (hey, hey Oh well)

You're not enough for me (oh no)...

Layla runs down to the ring. Natalya tosses Nikki out of the ring before Clotheslining me out of the ring. I hear Layla and Natalya fighting in the ring. As I get up, Brie approaches me. I look at her before hitting her with a Superkick. Nikki also comes after me, so I do the same to her. I look in the ring to see Layla finishing successfully pinning Natalya for a three count. Layla is now the current Divas Champion.

I run in the ring and hit Layla with a Superkick. Layla falls out of the ring. Natalya runs at me and takes me down with a Clothesline. I roll over to the apron to recover as Brie enters the ring. Brie kicks Natalya in the gut and grabs her for a Suplex, but Natalya rolls Brie into a pin.

1…2…3!

Natalya is now the current Divas Champion. There is only a few minutes left. She Dropkicks Brie out of the ring before grabbing me. Natalya pulls me back in the ring and Irish Whips me into a corner. She then lifts me up onto the top turnbuckle and climbs up as well to attempt to hit a Superplex. I slap Natalya and shove her off of the top turnbuckle onto the ground. I jump off the top turnbuckle to hit a Crossbody on Natalya, but she counters by getting her knees up. I roll over in pain, and Natalya rolls out of the ring to recover. Layla gets in the ring and climbs up onto the top turnbuckle to hit a move on me. However, Nikki hits Layla and climbs up to try to Suplex Layla. I roll out of the ring to get myself some time to recover. Brie climbs up and joins Nikki to try to Suplex Layla off of the top turnbuckle. However, Natalya gets back in the ring and gets underneath Nikki and Brie.

Natalya hits a Tower of Doom on Nikki, Brie, and Layla, leaving all three laid out. I realize there is less than a minute left, so I slide into the ring. I catch Natalya by surprise and kick her in the gut. I hit Natalya with the Chaotic Ending before pinning her.

1…2…3!

I am the current Divas Champion. I smile as I watch the last few seconds run out on the clock before the match ends. The referee grabs my arm and raises it in the air.

"Here is your winner and the NEW WWE Divas Champion, Marissa Orton!"
