Back In Action
Right after SummerSlam, Mr. McMahon was already on the prowl for our next big Raw commercial. No one knew just yet what he was planning, but the plans would be told later tonight. And to make things even better, tonight I was filling in for Mick Foley at the announcers table, it would be my first time commentating ever.
As I got myself pampered up in a pair of jeans, a white corset top, and a pair of sneakers I couldn't help but be giddy, I was actually gonna be working alongside the famous Good Ol' J.R. Who was brought here when I was at the last draft. This was gonna be awesome.
"Torrence, get to the curtain, your up" Jim, one of our show worker said as he opened the door to the dressing room. I smiled and nodded to him as I made my way to the door.
I had changed a lot about me after Summerslam, I had dyed my hair a new bright red color, it suit me more than the blonde even though I looked great with that as well. I skipped giddily down the hall as I made my way to the curtain. Matt and I were better than ever, and after our little elevator conversation after Summerslam I was even back on talking terms with Randy, not sure how good Matt felt about that, but Randy was still my friend after all.
Suddenly my entrance music began. I had even changed that as well to Rockstar by Prima J. I was a totally new Torrence. Smackdown's Torrence. I pointed and waved to the crowd as I stepped through the curtain. I high fived the fans hands as I made my way across the ring and over to the announcers table.
J.R. stood up and hugged me before gesturing me to sit down in the empty chair beside him. I smiled and gladly sat down and placed on my very own headset.
J.R.: Tonight ladies and gentlemen I will have the honor, of co-hosting with the lovely Torrence Lexington here tonight. Welcome Torrence, your looking beautiful as ever
Torrence: Aw, thanks J.R it means so much to me to come out here tonight and call these matches with you
J.R: Alright. And tonight Smackdown is brought to you by Smackdown Vs. Raw, 2009. It will be hitting store near you, this November.
Torrence: And by Just For Men Aftershave. I tell ya J.R, nothing drives me wild more than a man wearing Just For Men.
J.R: Well then, I just might go out and get me some of that
Torrence: You don't need no aftershave to drive me wild J.R.
After our little comments the first match began which was a one-on-one, MVP vs. Brian Kendrick.
Most of the night went pretty regular. All the matches went on, J.R. and I were having a great time commentating together, I think this was actually the most fun I've ever had on Smackdown, and I've had a lot of fun times here.
During Matt's match verus Dave I tried my best not to let everyone know that we were dating each other by being as impartial as possible, but it was hard to do with all my comments on Matt's personal health after seeing some of the moves Dave was using on him, I knew most of it was planned, but some of those things looked like they really hurt.
Suddenly during the end Matt reversed a kick to the gut from Batista and twirled him around only to hit Dave with the TOF and get the pin. I then jumped up and cheered but quickly sat back down and regained my compulsive. J.R just looked to me and laughed as the ref handed Matt his U.S. title. As Matt held his title up in the air he looked to me and winked. I smiled back before commenting on the win with J.R.
As J.R. and I continued our commentating, Mr. McMahon's music suddenly began to play. J.R. and I stopped talking and turned to the ramp as we saw Mr. McMahon standing at the top with a mic in hand.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight as promised I said I would have a plan for our next big Raw commercial. And I've decided that it will be a steamy video featuring the divas of the WWE. Now, all of the divas are here tonight to compete in a divas battle royal, to see who will be named the lead of the commercial. And the other four divas will be chosen by you, the fans. So ref ring the bell and lets get this start!" I had to admit, I really didn't expect this.
As the ref rung the bell I watched as one-by-one all of the divas from Smackdown, Raw, and ECW made their way to the ring. It was times like this that I missed being in the ring, I hated that I couldn't be part of this competition, I had never been in a divas PPV commercial, and I wanted this one.
As all nintheen divas of the WWE stood in the ring, Mike, the ring announcer suddenly stood up from his seat and held the microphone up to his mouth.
"The final diva competing in this divas battle royal... Torrence Lexington!" My eyes grew wide at the sound of my name. Did he really just say my name? Was this a dream? Was I actually getting back into the ring after these past three months? I quickly placed my headset on the table, and jumped up from my seat. The fans cheered as I climbed into the ring.
I waved to the fans before turning my attention to to the other divas in the ring. I looked over to Ashley who gave me a slight thumbs up before putting her game face on. I smiled back before positioning myself for this match. This was gonna be interesting.
After the first five minutes. Cherry, and Layla had been eliminated and removed from ringside. Ashley had personally eliminated Layla with drop kick off the apron, the bitch was back. At the moment I was getting worked over by Victoria as she slammed me into the turnbuckle.
She ran towards me but I quickly hopped up and wrapped my legs around he neck while sitting on the top of the turnbuckle. I looked over to Mickie who only gave me the approval to borrow her move. I then hopped off the turnbuckle and twirled around with a hurracarrana which flipped Victoria over causing her to slam butt first into the mat.
I cheered and pointed to the crowd after the move only to have Natayla slam her forearm hard into my back, that was gonna briuse later. I fell to the matt and was rolled over by Natalya as she began hitting my in the face with a few forearms, which was also gonna briuse later.
Suddenly she was thrown off me by the hair thanks to Ashley. I smiled as Ashley helped me back to my feet. She then went to work on Natalya while I went over and kicked Victoria in the stomach with a back kick as she got up. I looked over to Ashley and nodded. We both pointed to the crowd before tossing both Victoria, and Natalya over the top rope.
Later in the match Kelly Kelly, Maria, Melina, Eve Torres, Lena Yard, and unfortunaly Ashley had been knocked out by a forearm from Maryse. I looked around the ring at my competition left. It was myself, Christy, Mickie, Candice, Beth, Torrie, Maryse, Michelle, Lita, and Dawn Marie left. Things were about to get ruff.
Finally after a long ten minute match it was near the end, and only only four of us left in the ring. Myself, Candice, Beth, and Trish. We all went to work on each other. I attacked Beth while Candice, and Trish ducked it out on the side. The Raw women's champion was just as strong as I remember, and she seemed even harder to take down now.
I tried to throw her into the turnbuckle, but she twirled and threw me instead causing my back to smack into the hard turnbuckle. I fell to the ground holding my back in pain. How many briuses were I gonna get tonight in this once match. Beth then grabbed my hair and threw me back into the turnbuckle.
She began chopping away at my reddening chest. I groaned in pain with every knife-edge chop that was delivered to my tender chest. As she went for a fourth one I quickly ducked and pushed her into the turnbuckle. I began punching at her body before she suddenly pushed my away. I quickly rolled over on the mat and jumped back up before continuing my assault with a monkey flip throwing her across the ring.
I then noticed Trish and Candice both fighting to stay alive on the apron as the hit each other with forearms to the face. I smirked before running over and sliding my feet under the ropes knocking both their feet off of the apron, and sending them tumbling to the padded floor.
I then turned back around only to get hit with a clothesline by Beth. I feel to the mat clutching my throat as Beth picked me up once again by my hair. I quickly slapped her hands away and slapped her hard across the cheek. That really pissed her off. She tackled me to the ground and started wailing on me hard. I rolled her over and began returning the favor with a couple hooks of my own.
Beth then threw me off and rolled over as we both got to our feet. The enraged champion charged at me which I quickly returned by running forward and grabbing her hair from the back and pulling her down to the mat. Beth got up again and I preformed the same move.
Finally she got the message and stop running at me, instead she just slugged me hard across the cheek causing me to stumble back and grab the ropes. Beth smirked to the crowd before running towards me. I took this opportunity and ducked down to the mat pulling the ropes with me causing Beth to go flying over them and down to the floor.
"And here's your winner. Torrence Lexington!" Mike called as the crowd went while. I was amazed myself, it had been months since I had been in a ring, and I was still as good as when I left, well maybe a little rusty, but still good. The ref hopped into the ring and raised my hand into the air as Beth had a fit slamming her hands on the floor, and yelling.
I smirked to her before running over and hopping on the turnbuckles. I pointed and yelled to the fans as, it was their support that kept me fighting through the entire match. J.R cheered as well, he even got out of his seat and clapped for me. It was truly the perfect night.
