A/N: Hey dudes and dudettes. Hope you enjoyed the last chapter. Thanks for all the Get Well wishes, they made me smile. You know what else makes me smile? Facial muscles! And reviews. So thanks for all the reviews too! Most of this chapter seems to be in-ring stuff. I don't think I'm really good at writing that but I tried my best as it was vital to the story. Anyway... On with the show! You know the drill, read, review and enjoy!

Chapter 7: Ain't That A Kick In The Head.
.
.
I was stood at the Gorilla along with Ted, Cody and Randy, bouncing on the balls of my feet trying to pump myself up. I was dressed in my new ring attire, long, leather looking, black tights and a black and red halter neck bikini style top. Across the back of my tights it said 'Legacy' matching in with my stable mates.
When I first saw the outfit it reminded me a little of what Maria Kanellis would wear but I tried not to compare myself to anyone else. I kept reminding myself that it could be worse, I could be wearing the same as Kelly Kelly, next to nothing.
I shuddered at the thought.
John Morrison, Melina, The Miz and John Cena arrived a few minutes later, we would be competing in a eight person mixed tag match and our match was up next.
Melina and I chatted a little, going over how our parts in the match would go down before the music signalled Raw was back from commercial.
We got into our positions and waited.
.
Randy's theme blasted through the speakers, followed by a chorus of boos with a few staggered screams, and we made our way our onto the stage. Ted and Cody led the way down the ramp to the ring, with me slightly behind them and Randy trailing at the end, soaking in the hatred the crowd was spewing.
As I climbed the steps to the ring, I stole a glance at the St Louis native. He was in full Viper mode, steely stare, serpent like movements and signature smirk etched on his face.
I climbed into the ring and stood with Ted and Cody as Randy went to the turnbuckles and performed his pose. He made his way towards us as Miz, Morrison and Melina made their entrance, followed by Cena.
The crowd went wild, all the CeNation members were on their feet as 'The Champ' and his team descended upon the ring.
Once the crowd has simmered down and we were in our respective corners the match began with Cody and Miz starting.
.
.
The match started off slow, both males locking up and trying to out maneuver the other. Miz got the upper hand after a hard knee to Cody's sternum. He followed that up with a few chops and kicks before tagging in Morrison. Cody got an uppercut in and tried to take advantage by going for a dropkick but missed due to Melina pulling Morrison out of the way. Morrison lifted Cody to his feet and proceeded to throw him about the ring like a rag doll. Cody managed to knock him off his feet with a clothesline and quickly tagged in Ted.
.
In the corner Randy verbally berated Cody which only made the crowd boo harder and louder.
Meanwhile in the ring Ted had turned things around. He was now standing over Morrison delivering stomps to his legs, fully aware that this was his best chance at grounding the high flyer. Randy and I encouraged Ted while Cody stood sulking after his telling off from Randy. Ted lifted The Shaman of Sexy to his feet and went for Dream Street, Melina ran into the ring jumping on Ted's back trying to pry him off her boyfriend. The referee tried to get the shrieking woman back to her corner but she would not relent her grip.
Randy nudged me and I stepped into the ring, grabbed the brunette by her hair and ripped her from Ted throwing her to the mat with a thud. Melina rolled out of the ring while the referee ushered me over to my corner.
Ted delivered Dream Street and went for the pin but Melina once again broke the count at two. Ted clenched his jaw as he glared at the woman before she slapped him across his face. He stood up, towering over her, she leapt between the ropes to the safety of the apron while Ted walked towards us and slapped my hand.
He pointed at me then to Melina while telling me to 'Deal with her' loud enough for the cameras to pick up.
.
Once again I climbed into the ring, Melina had no choice but to get in, this was a mixed tag match. Men vs men, women vs women. She gingerly stepped through the ropes, careful to stay away from me as we circled the ring. As she passed by the Legacy corner she took her eyes off me and I took the opportunity to get my hands on her.
I grabbed her by the arm and twisted it behind her back, yanking it every few seconds. She reversed it and began twisting my arm before I elbowed her in the face.
Melina stumbled towards the corner, leaning on the ropes. I approached her and launched her into the opposite corner, hard. I then proceeded to run at her with a hard clothesline. She sank to the floor and I began choking her, relenting at the count of 4.
I picked the brunette up and delivered a devastating kick out DDT.
As I got to my feet I heard yelling from behind me, outside the ring the men were fighting, the referee yelling to them over the ropes. There was so much movement, I couldn't make out who was who.
As I turned back around Melina came at me knocking me to the ground. She picked me up and began shrieking, I knew she was going for a Sunset Flip. I allowed her to get onto my back, as she threw her arms in the air and went to flip me, I grabbed her legs and used her own momentum to throw her down onto the mat with a sickening thump. I went for a pin but the ref was distracted with the brawling men.
.
I walked to the ropes, Morrison and Cody were at the announce table exchanging blows while the ref urged them to get back to their corners. Randy, Ted and Cena were directly in front of me as was Miz who was picking himself off the floor.
Once Miz was on his feet I grabbed onto the top rope and jumped, swinging my legs through the bottom, connecting with Cena and Miz, kicking them both in the face.
Ted and Randy moved away and I turned back around.
Melina had gotten to her feet but was leaning on the ropes screaming to Morrison on the outside. I moved towards her, giving her a boot to the gut and lifted her performing a swinging side slam. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Miz getting back in the ring, he ran at me and instinctively I super-kicked him. He went down like a cannonball.
That's when I noticed Ted and Randy fighting with each other while Cody lay on the ground. I got distracted with my team mates that I never noticed Morrison until I felt it was too late.
As I spun around I was met with his foot connecting with my face. I must have turned too much because that kick hurt like a bitch.
As I hit the mat I felt something warm trickle down my face.
I rolled out of the ring and realised that I was bleeding.
Morrison's boot must have caught me slightly, slicing my cheek and eyebrow in the process.
.
.
I lay on the outside of the ring while Ted and Cena went one on one.
Randy on the apron shouting instructions to Ted.
Cena made quick work of The Fortunate Son, forcing Randy to finally get in the ring with him.
It didn't take long for Randy to get the upper hand.
He gave Cena his patented back breaker and then went on to stomp every limb on his body before giving one last stomp to his head.
Then.. he went into Viper mode.
Stalking Cena as she struggled to get to his feet.
The Viper began pounding on the mat, the crowd went wild, yelling to Cena to 'Watch Out', etc.
Once on his feet, the Viper pounced and delivered a perfect RKO to 'The Champ'. Randy covered Cena for the three count and the win for our team.
Cody slipped into the ring with his and Ted's tag titles in hand while Ted helped me up from my position seated against the barrier. Randy snapped his belt from the referee and exited the ring, followed by Cody. Ted and I had already made our way to the bottom of the ramp.
Randy looked at me with concern on his face and reached out to put a hand on my face, momentarily breaking character. He seemed to realise his mistake and turned to yell at Ted and Cody, blaming them for my injury slipping back into character.
.
.
Once we got backstage Ted stopped me.
"Are you OK?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." I replied.
"You need to get that looked at."
"You OK?" Randy asked coming over to where Ted and I were standing.
I nodded.
"Let me see" He said taking hold of my face. "It doesn't look too bad, you'll maybe need a stitch or two. I'll take you to the trainer's room, get Kevin to have a look at it."
"You guys can head back to the locker room. I can go on my own." I said moving out of his grip.
"It's fine. I want to see Kev about my shoulder anyway." He replied "We'll see you guys back in the locker room." He said looking to Ted and Cody.
.
Ted looked at me and I nodded, assuring him I was indeed OK once more before he and Cody took off down the corridor. Randy then turned to me with a small smile on his lips and motioned for me to follow him.
.
.
As we walked down the corridor in the direction of the trainers room my head began to spin, my steps were staggered and there was a shooting pain in the back of my head.
I blinked a couple of times to shake it away before slowing my pace as the dizziness got worse.
I stopped completely, holding onto the wall for support as the sounds around me became muffled and I struggled to hear anything at all. Before I knew it, I was on the floor and staring up into the steely blue eyes of the Viper.
My eyes got heavy again and I struggled to keep them open, I blinked a few times before they closed one final time and the darkness enveloped me once again.
