Over the Limit: May 20, 2012
I sigh as I look at my Divas Championship. Tonight I was defending it against Layla and Beth Phoenix in a Triple Threat. I had a lot on my mind, so I wasn't fully focused on it.
Randy walks in. "Hey, beautiful, you alright?"
I shrug. "I'm just thinking."
"About going to court on Wednesday?"
"This whole week in general. We've got three straight days of work and then court. It's a lot for a single week."
I also had my first therapy session, but, of course, Randy doesn't know about that.
Randy sighs. "Go put your ring gear on at least. I know it's stressful. You have to defend your Divas Championship tonight."
"I don't even know which one I'm gonna wear. My mind isn't in the zone I'm usually in for a championship defense match."
Randy gets into my bag and throws ring gear at me. "Wear this one. Just get your mind into the match. You can out wrestle both of them. You know both of them well enough in the ring that you should be fine."
"I hope so."
"Rissa, you'll be fine. Maybe you can request an easier workload for tomorrow and Tuesday."
"Let's wait and see how Laurinaitis's match against Cena goes first before trying that."
"Okay, Rissa. Just do your best in the ring, sweetheart."
"I will." I say as I start putting my ring gear on.
"You are the best, sweetheart. You'll be fine."
"I hope so. I would like to still be the Divas Champion."
Randy smiles. "You'll kick ass tonight. Let's be real here, you're more likely to be the champion after your match than I am after mine."
"I guess that's true. I can't wait to get this court case done and over with."
"Me too. Hopefully we won't have much to deal with after that is done."
"Hopefully. Your match is right after mine. Do you want me to wait in guerilla?"
Randy smiles. "I do want you to wait in guerilla. If we both win, it's gonna be fun having it be back to back."
"I figured. Are we going to stay and watch Cena's match against Laurinaitis?"
"I don't want to watch that from guerilla, but I want to watch it."
"Okay. We can watch from a screen that's in here or in Catering or something."
"That sounds like a plan."
("Glamazon" plays)
Beth makes her entrance to the ring. Layla and I glance at each other.
Layla smiles. "We should go after her first to avoid her overpowering either of us."
I nod. "Sounds like a plan."
"See you out there."
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 makes her entrance to the ring, and Beth and Layla wait on me to make my entrance.
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 make my entrance into the ring. I stand on the top turnbuckle and hold my Divas Championship in the air. I get off of the turnbuckle and stare at Layla and Beth.
Justin Roberts starts to speak. "The following is a Triple Threat match and it is for the WWE Divas Championship! Introducing first from Buffalo, New York, the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix!"
Beth smirks at me before taunting to the crowd.
"And," Justin Roberts continues. "From Miami, Florida, Layla!"
Layla smiles and poses for the crowd.
"And from Saint Louis, Missouri, she is the WWE Divas Champion, the Queen of Chaos, Marissa Orton!"
I raise my Divas Championship in the air. The crowd cheers loudly for me. Knowing I was the fan favorite in this match gave me a lot more motivation to put everything into this.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Beth immediately rushes at Layla and pummels her to the ground. While Beth's attention is still on Layla, I hit her in the back of the head with my Divas Championship, as there are no disqualifications in a Triple Threat match. Beth falls to the ground, and I slide my Divas Championship out of the ring. I grab Beth and send her straight into the ring post. Beth falls down in the corner. I go to the opposite corner and go for a Running Knee on Beth, but Layla catches me with a Dropkick. Layla pins me.
1…kickout!
Layla grabs me and goes for a DDT. However, I lifted her up and hit a Back Body Drop. I get in a corner once again and run to go hit a Running Stomp on Layla. Beth levels me with a Clothesline. I roll out the ring. Beth grabs Layla and throws her across the ring. Layla stands up, but Beth drives Layla into the corner. Beth lifts Layla onto the top turnbuckle and hits her with a Superplex. Beth pins Layla.
1…2…
I break the pin. Layla rolls out of the ring. Beth and I get in each other's faces. Beth shoves me to the ground and laughs. I get back up and slap her across the face. Beth holds her cheek and goes to Clothesline me, but I avoid it and nail her with a hard Right Hand. Beth punches me back. We start exchanging punches. I block one of Beth's punches and Irish Whip her into the ropes. Beth rebounds off the ropes, and I hit her with an Arm Drag. As Beth starts to get back up, I lock her in a submission that I haven't used in quite some time, the Octopus Stretch. Beth tries to force me to release the submission, but I keep it locked in. Layla comes in and breaks the submission with a Dropkick.
Beth rolls out of the ring. Layla goes to Clothesline me, but I avoid it. I kick Layla in the gut before hitting her with a Suplex. I pin Layla.
1…kickout!
Layla is struggling to get up, so I climb up to the top turnbuckle and go for a Crossbody. However, Layla gets her knees up and then rolls me into a pin.
1…2…kickout!
I nail Layla with a Dropkick before hitting her with the Picture Perfect.
1…2…
Beth breaks the pin. She grabs me and throws me outside of the ring. She then picks up Layla and hits the Glam Slam. Beth pins Layla.
1…2…kickout!
Layla slaps Beth across the face before raking Beth's eyes and kicking her in the gut. Layla hits Beth with the Layout. Layla pins Beth.
1…2…
I break the pin. I kick Beth out of the ring. Layla swings at me, but I duck and hit her with a Superkick. Layla is stunned, so I pick her up and hit the Chaotic Ending. I pin Layla.
1…2…3!
"Here is your winner and STILL the WWE Divas Champion, Marissa Orton!"
The referee hands me my Divas Championship and raises my arm in the air. I notice Beth glaring at me as she starts to get up, but I shrug it off. This was my moment to celebrate.
Randy and I hung around a monitor along with a few other wrestlers as we watched Cena face Laurinaitis. This match was a huge deal because if John Laurinaitis lost, he was out of power. If Cena wins, he would be able to do what I hadn't been able to do yet and would be doing a service for the whole roster.
"I'm throwing a party after Cena wins." Punk comments.
I nod. "That's gonna be one hell of a party. Am I invited?"
"Yeah, it's an open invite, except for Eve and David Otunga."
"Sounds reasonable."
""Sounds like a hell of time." Sheamus comments.
Punk laughs. "Oh, it will be."
I look at Randy. "Sorry that you didn't win tonight."
Randy shrugs. "It's no big deal. I had tough competition. At least I wasn't the one who got pinned."
"Fair enough."
We all were expecting Cena to win when Big Show, who Laurinaitis had fired, appears and hits Cena with the WMD.
"You've gotta be kidding me." Randy mutters.
I just shake my head in disbelief. The other wrestlers watching with us are making comments as well. Laurinaitis pins Cena.
1…2…3!
"Here is your winner, John Laurinaitis!"
I look at Randy. "Screw this. Let's go before we run into the guy."
Randy grabs my hand. "That's fine with me."
