No Way Out: June 17, 2012

I finished putting my gear on and looked at myself in the mirror. I didn't like not having Randy around for a pay per view, but I needed to defend my Divas Championship tonight. I had to put all of my emotions aside for now. I couldn't let all of that get in the way of wrestling tonight. Someone knocks on my door. I walk over to open it. I find myself looking at John Cena.

John smiles at me. "I hope I'm not interrupting your preparation for your match tonight. Can we talk for a few minutes? Alone?"

I smile. "Of course, come on in."

John walks in. "Thanks."

I close the door behind John. "So what's going on?"

"Obviously, I have a Steel Cage match against Big Show tonight, which, if I win, makes John Laurinaitis lose his job."

"Yeah, what does that have to do with me?"

"Well, I was talking to Vince, and we both think that you should be at ringside. Vince did already give you permission to fire Laurinaitis if he couldn't. Plus, it's the main event tonight, so you'll already have had your Divas Championship match."

"Okay."

"Really? You don't need more convincing?"

"No, you make a really valid point, Cena. Plus, any opportunity to potentially be a part of the demise of John Laurinaitis is something I can get behind."

Cena laughs. "Fair enough. I'm gonna head out. Good luck tonight, Rissa."

"Thanks, you too. See you probably after my match and before yours."

"See you later." Cena leaves and closes the door behind him.

I walk over to the mirror and start braiding my hair. Despite not having Randy around to talk me out of anxiety before my match, I felt really good about everything tonight. I just had a feeling everything was going to be alright.

("Glamazon" plays)

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Divas Championship! Introducing first, from Buffalo, New York, the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix!"

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 opponent, from Saint Louis, Missouri, she is the WWE Divas Champion, the Queen of Chaos, Marissa Orton!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Beth and I circle around the ring. I go to Clothesline Beth, but she grabs me and lifts me up over her shoulder. Beth locks me in a Bear Hug submission. I elbow her head and until she releases the submission hold.

I jump off of Beth before she goes to Clothesline me, but I duck and hit her with a Dropkick. I pin Beth.

1…kickout!

Before Beth can get up, I lock her in a Side Headlock. She elbows me in the ribs to force me to release it.

I go to grab Beth again, but she shoves me before going for a Clothesline. She grabs me and hits me with a Suplex. Beth pins me.

1…kickout!

Beth slams my face on the ground before rubbing it into the ground. Beth pins me once again.

1…kickout!

Beth grabs me up off the ground. I roll her into a pin.

1…2…kickout!

I go to Clothesline Beth, but she moves out of the way. I stop myself from running into the corner. Beth tries to grab me from behind, but I elbow her in the face. I then slam Beth's face on the turnbuckle before climbing up to the top turnbuckle. Beth punches me before climbing up to the second turnbuckle. I punch Beth to stun her before hitting a Sunset Flip Powerbomb. I pin Beth.

1…2…kickout!

I kick Beth in the side before taking a page out of Randy's book and stomping on Beth. When Beth starts to get up, I go for a Running Knee, but she catches me with a Clothesline. Beth then picks me up over her shoulders and drops me face first onto the ground. Beth pins me.

1…2…kickout!

Beth immediately grabs me and locks in a Headlock. I elbow my way out.

Beth grabs me by my hair and slams me onto the ground. She then picks me up and goes to hook my arms for the Glam Slam. I elbow Beth in the side of the head. She releases her grasp on me. I kick Beth in the gut before hitting her with the RKO. Then, for extra measure, I pick Beth up again and hit her with the Chaotic Ending. I pin Beth.

1…2…

I get hit with a lead pipe before the referee can count three. The ring bell rings to signal a Disqualification, which due to champion's advantage means that I am still Divas Champion. I roll over to see Eve holding a lead pipe. She grabs me off of the ground. I shove her away from me, but she catches me with another swing of the pipe. I fall to the ground. Beth gets up and gets in Eve's face. They argue before Eve starts attacking Beth with the pipe as well. Once Beth is laid out, Eve rolls out of the ring and grabs my Divas Championship.

Eve enters the ring as I'm struggling to get up. She smirks at me before holding up the Divas Championship. I glare at Eve. Eve throws the Divas Championship at me before exiting the ring as her theme song plays.

She was going to pay for this.

John Cena follows me into my locker-room after my match. "Are you going to be alright?"

I shake my head. "Yeah, I'm still coming to ringside for your match tonight."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I may have been attacked with a pipe just a little bit ago, but I have way too much at stake here to not go. I'm going, and you're going to win so John Laurinaitis is gone."

"What if Eve comes after you again?"

"I'll be ready for it. If you don't win though, there's no way I'll be able to get my hands on Eve for some payback because we both know that Laurinaitis won't allow it. You're going to beat Big Show and take Laurinaitis out of power tonight, and I'll handle Eve tomorrow. Got it?"

"Sounds like a plan." Cena replies as my phone starts to ring.

I grab my phone and check it. "It's Randy. He probably was watching the match and saw me get attacked with the pipe. I should probably take this."

"Okay. See you in a little bit. Tell Randy that I say hi." John leaves.

I answer the phone.

Me: "Hey."

Randy: "Hey, I was watching your match and saw what happened. Are you alright?"

Me: "Yeah…I'm probably going to have some bruises, but I'll be alright."

Randy: "That's good. Admittedly, I was a little worried. At least you're still Divas Champion."

Me: "She's going to pay for that though. I'm not letting that slide."

Randy: "Who could blame you? At least you're done for the night."

Me: "Actually…I'm not."

Randy: "Why aren't you…you're going to be at ringside for Cena's match?"

Me: "I know you probably aren't necessarily happy about it, but I should be. I'm going to be. If Laurinaitis tries anything, I'll stop it. If it makes you feel any better, I'll stay away from Big Show as much as I can."

Randy: "That does make me feel a little bit better, but please be careful. I understand why you're doing it. If anything happens to you, I'm coming after John Laurinaitis myself."

Me: "Okay. I should probably head to guerilla soon. Love you."

Randy: "Love you too. Bye."

I had been sitting at ringside while Cena was facing Big Show. I was sitting by my father and John Laurinaitis. Luckily, my father was between myself and John Laurinaitis because I didn't want to be near Laurinaitis one bit. Unfortunately, Big Show looked to be the more dominant person in this match so far.

Cena hits Big Show with a shoulder tackle and pins him.

1…2…kickout!

Cena crawls towards the open cage door to escape. However, Laurinaitis, despite being on crutches, throws the referee into the barricade before shutting the door. Vince, however, follows Laurinaitis and pulls him away before opening the door. Laurinaitis shoves Vince into the door, closing it on Cena.

I slowly get up and walk towards Laurinaitis and Vince. I was not only upset that Laurinaitis blantly interfered in the match, but I was also upset that he had the nerve to put his hands on my father.

I get in John Laurinaitis's face. "What the hell was that?!"

"Doing what I have to do to keep power!" Laurinaitis responds.

I roll my eyes before doing something that I've wanted to for a long time and shoving Laurinaitis to the ground. I turn around just to see Big Show knock out the referee. Show hits Cena with the WMD. Vince is getting checked on, and Cena is out cold. I realize that only Laurinaitis and Show are the only other people standing at the moment.

Big Show approaches the door, but Brodus Clay shows up with a chair, preventing Big Show from using the door to escape. Big Show goes to climb the cage, but Brodus moves to prevent that as well. Big Show tries the door again, but Brodus moves to block him again. Big Show goes back to climbing the cage but Santino and Alex Riley run out and start climbing the cage to stop Show. Laurinaitis is busy watching so I sneak past him to grab a kendo stick before getting closer to the situation as I realized that I may need to do something drastic to save this match.

Big Show hits the cage, knocking Santino and Alex off. Brodus and I exchange a worried look before Zack Ryder runs out. Zack goes to climb the cage, but Big Show knocks him off with a WMD through the cage. Big Show starts climbing the cage as Kofi Kingston runs down to the ring. Kofi climbs up and meets Big Show at the top of the cage.

I sigh as I realize what I need to do. "Randy isn't going to let me hear the end of this."

As Big Show is distracted by Kofi, I start climbing up the cage while holding the kendo stick. Big Show shoves Kofi off of the cage, but I manage to strike Show before he notices me. Show is stunned. I bounce his head off of the cage. Show is only dangling at this point and is still stunned. I kick Big Show, and he falls off of the cage and back into the ring. I sigh before starting to climb back down the cage.

Brodus helps me get off the cage. Cena slowly makes his way to escape through the door, but Show pulls him back. Cena hits Big Show with an Attitude Adjustment. Cena goes to pin Big Show, but realizes the referee is knocked out. Big Show goes to escape the door as Cena goes to climb the cage. When Cena arrives at the top of the cage, Laurinaitis swings his crutch at Cena to prevent him from escaping. I walk over and hit Laurinaitis with the kendo stick, knocking him to the ground. Cena escapes the cage just before Big Show. I sigh in relief as the ring bell rings and Cena's theme song starts playing.

"The winner of this match, John Cena!"

I run over and hug John. "You did it. He's gone."

Cena laughs. "I think that was a joint effort. I think you saved my ass."

"Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do."

Cena taunts to the crowd. Laurinaitis swings the crutch at him, but Cena avoids it and lifts him up in the Fireman's Carry position.

Vince walks over with a microphone. "This thing working? John Laurinaitis! You're fired!"

Cena hits John Laurinaitis with an Attitude Adjustment through the announce table. Vince heads backstage. I wait on Cena as he celebrates.

I smile at Cena. "Are you gonna defend me when Randy gives me shit about going after Big Show?"

Cena grins at me. "Of course. You saved the match for me. I owe you."
