Nitro went for his finishing move and nailed Mercury with it to perfection and went for the cover, this was it, he was going to win at Wrestlemania, sure, he was making his friend leave WWE, but that was another story. He waited for the referee to leap down next to Mercury's shoulders, but instead music hit the arena and out from the back came Linda McMahon. He got up off Mercury who stayed lying on the canvas and looked on at Linda. He glanced round at referee Mike Khioda, who shrugged his shoulders and looked just as surprised as Nitro. Mercury was getting to his feet, he too, looked very shocked. Nitro looked at him and realised he didn't know anything about this. They had been friends for a long time and he could tell that they were both as surprised bewildered by what was going on. The crowd had fallen silent as Linda stepped into the ring. Finally her music stopped and she began to speak.

"I guess you're all wondering why I'm out here, and so you know, my husband, Vince, has no idea either. I have arranged for this match to continue with a different referee, so Mike Khioda, thank you for your time, but for this match you are now dismissed"

Khioda looked shocked and amazed, but Linda owned the company, she was boss, so obliged and stepped out of the ring.

"And now let me announce the new referee for this match…" Linda was stopped dead in her tracks as Vince McMahon appeared at the top of the ramp, microphone in hand and said,

"I don't know what you're doing Linda, but I run this company and I assigned Mike Khioda to referee this match" he then turned his attention to Khioda, who was still walking up the isle, "Turn round and get back in the ring and carry on with the match" he bellowed at Khioda, who looked even more surprised and uncomfortable with this situation.

"Beg to differ Vince" Said Linda from the ring "You may run this company, but I own part of it, which means I get a say in what goes on, Mike Khioda, if you value your job you'll get your ass to the back right now"

This was a new side of Linda that people had never seen before, the audience was silent, Nitro and Mercury looked on in utter disbelief, and even Vince looked taken aback by it. Khioda walked to the back as Vince spoke.

"Ok Linda, so you've got another referee for this match, who is it and why?"

"Well Vince, why will be explained later, it's someone I hired about a week ago, both Nitro and Mercury know this person well" she turned her attention to the audience "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the WWE's newest Diva, Danielle" and with that Danielle appeared dressed as a referee, but she had only had time to get to the top of the ramp when Vince spoke again

"Cut the music, cut the music, who the hell is this, what is she doing here and why did you hire her?"

"Vince you're so naïve sometimes, I can hire who I want, and I thought you would have guessed by now who she was" Vince looked blank "also, she knows both wrestlers well and it seems fitting for her to referee the match"

Nitro stared on, could not believe what was happening, Mercury, too seemed shocked and a little nervous about the thought of her being the referee.

Vince scrunched up his face, he knew there was nothing he could do about it, Linda had a right to hire who she wanted, but Vince couldn't help but wonder just who she was and why she was there.

Danielle climbed into the ring, Vince turned and went to the back while Linda, for some reason took a seat at ringside. Danielle called for the bell and the match started again. However it didn't last long, after a few nice moves from both wrestlers, Mercury signalled for Nitro to go for the finish, as he did so, however, Linda got up on the apron and nailed Nitro with a chair knocking him out-cold. Mercury looked completely shocked and was about to ask what was going on when Danielle nailed hm from behind with a chair, he too was knocked out-cold. Danielle positioned Nitro and Mercury so they were covering each other and counted to three, declaring the match a draw. With that, Linda and Melina both climbed into the ring and raised their arms in the air in victory standing over, and looking down at the motionless bodies of Nitro and Mercury, the crowd booing all three women, the question on everyone's mind though was what on earth was going to happen as far as the firing went.

Vince came down to the ring, to a mixed reaction for once, and as he was about to speak and ask what was going on, Linda beat him to it and made an announcement.
