I'm back! Sorry I haven't updated; I have been quite busy with family events, so don't blame me. I updated my Halloween sequel if you haven't read it yet. Kudos to i luv hardy and wolfgirl77769 for reviewing!! I kinda knew you'd love the 'Michelle McZiggles' part, I luv Hardy. And believe it or not, I first heard about Mark and Michelle being together after reading Undertaker's profile on the Online World of Wrestling website. Read the profile and it'll tell you the two are dating (which btw, I do not enjoy). Wolfgirl77769, I have been debating for quite a while on what to do with this. I've decided that I cannot tarnish Taker's submission record because a lot of Taker fans will hate me. However, I'm willing to compromise, so here's what I will do. Punk and Taker will shake hands after the match and Maria will console Punk in the back, followed by a confrontation with Dolph and Michelle. Then I'll have Punk face Morrison in an Intercontinental Title match with Maria by his side and win the match. I'm really sorry about my decision, but I hope you like the compromise. On with it!
Chapter 6: Submission Match and Faceoff
Main Event: Submission Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
CM Punk vs World Champion The Undertaker
Now the taping was almost over, and it was time to do the World Title match between Phil and Mark. Hopefully it would be a good match for the fans to watch live. Maria was backstage, watching everything unfold from a nearby television screen with the Women's title on her shoulder.
In the ring
Phil came out first to his entrance music while Tony Chimel announced his entry to the ring.
"The following contest is a Submission Match. And it is for the World Heavyweight Championship! Introducing the challenger, from Chicago, Illinois. Weighing in at 222 pounds, the only Straight Edge champion in history, CM Punk!" Tony announced to a confused and silent WWE Universe.
The reason why the WWE Universe was confused and couldn't boo Phil was because he had saved Maria from a Dolph and Michelle ambush earlier and they thought Phil really wouldn't be able to win the title. After Phil's entrance was over, a famous "Gong!" was heard, the lights went out, and the fans were on their feet.
"And introducing, from Death Valley. Weighing in at 299 pounds, he is the World Heavyweight Champion, the Underrrrtaakerrrr!" Tony announced, holding out Taker's name.
Mark came to the ring wearing his Lord of Darkness coat, which was hiding the belt around his waist. He climbed the ring steps and raised his arms, turning the lights back on. After getting in the ring, he took off his L.O.D. coat and looked Phil dead in the eye.
"You and me Punk. Forget about Maria. This is for the belt," Mark mouthed to Phil.
Afterward, the two locked up and the match was underway.
Later in the match... Phil's POV
What was I doing? I know the match was for the gold, but to be perfectly honest, I couldn't stop thinking about Maria! I think I might love her. Mark was aware of the screwjob that I had planned to do to him, and he wanted me to get a chair and hit him with it.
"Come on! Hit me with the chair Punk. I dare ya!" he shouted at me.
After a small hesitation, I went outside the ring and got a chair. However, I took too long and referee Scott Armstrong finally took the chair away from me.
"What the hell?" Mark mouthed to me.
Recovering quickly, I kicked and punched Mark, preparing for the Go To Sleep before locking in the Anaconda Vise. Finally, I lifted him onto my shoulders on his stomach, but Mark elbowed his way out of the GTS. Then he flipped me upside down and gave me a Tombstone Piledriver, which the fans were happy about. He walked over to me slowly and locked in the Hell's Gates. Already exhausted from the match, I screamed in pain.
"Come on Punk! Tap! Tap!" Mark screamed at me.
I really wanted to win the belt for Maria, but the Hell's Gates was brutal! After about a minute of me screaming in agony and Mark wanting for me to tap, I finally caved in. Mark was still the Champion.
"Here is your winner, and still World Heavyweight Champion,The Underrrtakerrrr!" I heard Tony tell the WWE Universe.
Mark left the ring with the belt, backing away slowly and looking at me with a somewhat worried look on his face. He quickly got out of and posed with the belt, while I was laying in the ring, trying not to cry.
After the taping... Maria's POV
After watching Phil in the Submission match, I felt bad for him.
"Hey Maria," said Eve, walking up to me. "Did you just finish watching the Submission Match?"
"Uh... Yeah. What about it?" I asked my friend.
"I saw that Phil couldn't concentrate somewhere in the middle of it. I think it's because he was thinking about you."
"What? No, that couldn't have been it. I mean, he's supposed to be a heel," I told Eve, confused.
"Ria, think about it. He saved you from Dolph and Michelle after you won your title match. The crowd was dead silent, girl," Eve replied, sounding serious.
Thinking about it, it was then that I realized the truth.
"Wow... I can't believe it. Aww! That's really sweet that he feels that way." My voice was cracking and I was clearly emotional.
After I'd said that, I heard Phil and Mark talking. They were talking about the match, and after they were done, they shook hands and hugged. Mark'll probably think I'm being mean to him by saying this, but I've never seen him hug anybody like that in my life. I'm serious! Phil came over to me and Eve.
"Oh uh... hey Phil," Eve piped up. "Well.. I'll just leave you guys alone now." Then she took off to find Melina.
"Ria, I'm sorry about not winning the match and winning the title belt. I really am," Phil told me.
Giving him a hug, I said, "It's okay Phil. At least you tried."
When we broke apart, we were face to face with Dolph and Michelle. Ugh. Great.
"What do you want?" I asked them nastily.
"Shut up you ditzy bitch," Dolph snapped at me. Then he looked at Phil and said, "So I heard from T - Lo that you'll be facing John Morrison for the Intercontinental Title at Bragging Rights."
"Uh... Yeah? So what if I am?" Phil snapped.
Phil's POV
Michelle walked up to us and replied, "Phil, you know as well as we do that you won't have a chance."
"What is that supposed to mean?!" Maria screeched.
"It means that Phil will not be leaving Bragging Rights with the gold. That way, Dolph will have another shot. And win," Michelle told her coolly.
Just then, Maria walked up to Dolph and Michelle and slapped the crap out of both of them!
"I can assure you guys this," she said slowly to them. "Phil WILL walk out of Bragging Rights with the title belt. And when we do, we're going out to celebrate."
"Oh, I don't think that'll happen after Morrison gets through with him," Dolph said with a sneer.
Maria slapped him again.
"Dolph, I wouldn't be too sure about that." Maria showed a smirk.
Before Dolph and Michelle walked away, Maria finished, "Oh. And Dolph? Don't... ever... call... me... a... ditzy... bitch. Again."
Maria and I nodded our heads and stared at the couple opposite from us for a while before all 4 of us broke away from each other.
Tada! All done! Again, I hope you like the compromise, Danielle. Until next time...
