Hey guys! I'm back after over a week! Apparently, I've been too lazy to update... again. Don't blame me, okay? I have a really small attention span when it comes to updating. I already had the match idea for this chapter in the summary of the last one, so refer to the last chapter for more info. Thanks to wolfgirl77769 for reviewing! And a VERY happy belated 19th birthday from me to you!
In this chapter: Maria fights Michelle McCool for the Women's Championship on Smackdown! Will she win? And what does Dolph have to do with the outcome?
Chapter 5: Confronted
Start of Smackdown
Smackdown had started to tape its show at around 8 after ECW and 2 matches for Superstars were already done. The traditional Smackdown pyro went off while the WWE Universe cheered and showed off their signs for their favorite Stars and Divas.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Friday Night Smackdown!" announced Jim Ross. "This is good ol' JR, alongside my broadcast partner Todd Grisham here tonight."
"That's right JR, and what a show we have for our fans tonight," replied Todd.
Then the two announcers talked about how Michelle would defend her title against Maria, the rest of the show, and the Submission Match between Punk and Taker for the World Title.
Backstage before Maria's match
Maria was warming up before her title match against Michelle. She was wearing a white top with a big red star and white shorts with several red stars on them. For some reason, she'd told WWE Creative that she wanted them to ditch her "Legs Like That" theme and have her new song be "LoveFuryPassionEnergy," which was the song of her friend, former WWE Diva Lita. Since she was starting a new chapter of her life, she also wanted to be announced as "Maria Punk." Luckily, she had gotten her way.
"Hello Maria," Michelle sneered, standing face to face with her opponent. She was wearing a faith - based Army outfit with a camo top and matching shorts. Although she sometimes wore her hair in a ponytail, Michelle was letting her hair fall on her shoulders.
Letting out an annoyed grunt, Maria questioned, "What do you want Michelle? I'm trying to warm up here."
"So I heard that Dolph broke up with you a couple of weeks ago. I personally think he made the right decision," Michelle told her enemy proudly.
"Michelle, let it go. All right?" asked Maria.
"You know what? No. I will not let it go. I told WWE Creative that I would make a better manager for Dolph than you." Michelle crossed her arms. "But did they listen? No."
"Hey. At least I'm not known for dating a popular Superstar. Unlike you.... Michelle McTaker," Maria replied nastily.
"Um, how'd you know I was dating the Undertaker anyway, you little nosy brat?"
"I can't ignore the rumors, Michelle. I know about you two. Personally, you guys don't make a very good couple at all." Maria gave her enemy a smirk.
Infuriated, Michelle shouted, "WHAT?! How dare you say that to me? Mark loves me, and he and I both know it!"
"Well, he keeps telling other wrestlers that he's only dating you because you wanted him to. He loves his ex wife Sara!"
"Do NOT say that name to me ever again! You understand me?!" Michelle shouted, getting even more irritated.
"Oh. Okay... Michelle McZiggles," Maria smirked. Then she slapped Michelle in the face and walked off.
"Just you wait Maria! I'll beat you tonight! You hear me?" Michelle shouted, walking away. What Michelle didn't know was that Mark had been standing in the hallway behind her, not happy with what he'd heard.
Michelle McCool vs. Maria for the Women's Championship
Maria walked out to the ring first, while "LoveFuryPassionEnergy" played in the arena, of course.
"The following Divas match is set for one fall, and it is for the WWE Women's Championship," said ring announcer Tony Chimel. "Introducing the challenger, from Chicago, Illinois, Maria Punk!"
Maria blew the fans a kiss and climbed in the ring and posed on the turnbuckle. Then Michelle walked on the stage with the title around her waist.
"And her opponent. From Palatka, Florida, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Michelle McCool!" Tony announced.
Maria left the ring, beat Michelle down for a while, and immediately threw her in the ring.
After about 5 minutes, Michelle finally got her second wind. Pulling Maria's hair, she screamed, "You do not slap me in the face!"
"Michelle, come on. Let go of the hair!" referee Chad Patton told her.
Refusing to do so, Michelle screamed again, "Do NOT slap me in the face! You hear me?"
Then, rather unexpectedly, Dolph came down to ringside, checking out the two Divas in the ring. However, this annoyed Michelle.
"Dolph. No! Let me defeat Maria by myself, all right?" she asked him.
"But Michelle, I wanna help you out babe!" Dolph protested.
Getting up, Maria saw Dolph and got frustrated. But that was only for a few seconds. She capitalized on his presence and rolled Michelle up.
"One, two, three!" Chad counted.
Maria and Michelle were shocked. Maria was the new Women's Champion!
"Darn! Nooo!" Michelle screamed, tugging at her hair. She immediately ordered Dolph to get in the ring. Then she knocked Maria back on the ground and stomped on her a bit. She then lifted her up and held her arms.
"Dolph, give her a ZigZag for me!" Michelle instructed.
Just as Dolph was about to do so, Phil ran to the ring and looked at Michelle.
"Get out of here! NOW!" he shouted at her.
Needless to say, Michelle left the ring and ran away to the back.
After Michelle was gone, Phil and Dolph exchanged words angrily. Then Phil slapped Dolph in the face and they fought back and forth for a while. Then as Dolph was about to hit the ZigZag on Phil, he got out of the manuever and gave him a Go To Sleep, putting him down for the count.
"That's what you get for dumping Maria, you bastard!" Phil shouted at him.
He left the ring and went up the ramp to pose with Maria. The fans were rather bewildered by this. Wasn't CM Punk supposed to be a heel?
Undertaker's locker room
In his locker room before the Submission match, Mark had watched what just happened. Smirking and nodding his head, he kind of liked what he had seen. He knew right off the bat that Phil loved Maria again. However, he knew that Phil had better have been thinking about his match against him later that night. Or else he would screw up and do something stupid, making the fans regret ever seeing the match in the first place. Shaking his head, Mark finished getting ready for the Main Event.
Done! Haha! I like how it turned out. And as you can see, I took the title off McTaker. I know she's still Champion and that she's still dating Undertaker, but... I HATE HER. Sorry Michelle fans, but I had to say it. Object to the chapter all you want, but I'm proud of it. Okay, my rant is over now. Goodnight!
