Punk couldn't help but to laugh at how the situation with his boss just ended. He had started off so receptive to his creative outlets and then dismissed it just like every other time he tried to talk to him. Shaking the thoughts from his head, he went in search of John boy. Surprisingly enough, Punk found John in the Gorilla watching the tag team match. Standing there for a minute to see how the match was going, Punk just beamed. Tyson was getting his ass kicked by none other than Santino. How embarrassing that must be, he couldn't even comprehend. All of the sudden, Zack Ryder took out Justin Gabriel and Santino hit the Cobra for the three second count. Punk just laughed to himself, which in turn caused John to jump at the sound right next to him.
"Sorry John, but that was fucking funny!"
"I guess, but something just seemed off with Tyson tonight. He looked all distraught when he got to the ring like someone told him before he went out there that someone hit his dog."
"Well, it's something like that I guess."
"What the hell did you do now Phil? Don't tell me that it was you who hit his dog."
"I don't even know if that tool has a dog, but that's not the point. I guess you can say that I had something to do with why he was so out of it."
"Come on man, tell me what you did."
"Ha! Natalya broke up with his sorry ass. I went to find her to see if she would be my tag partner for our main event match and when I got to his locker room they were yelling and arguing with each other."
"What were they arguing about this time? It seems like they are always yelling at each other, usually over something really stupid and unimportant."
"This time it wasn't something stupid, it was about Natalya's career. Anyway, from what I heard while NOT eavesdropping, Tyson just wanted her to be a manager from now on instead of a wrestler. I knocked on the door and gave her my proposition and she accepted. He immediately started berating her again and she just snapped. She said that she had enough and just dumped his ass right then and there."
"Well good for her. So she is going to be your partner huh?"
"Yup, who's your partner?" Punk asked out of plain curiosity.
"I was going to ask Beth, but she just had a match. It took me a minute or two to think of another credible Diva who can wrestle, but I finally remembered one."
"Please, dear god, do not tell me that you chose Eve! I don't know if I could put up with her lying and conniving ways tonight."
"Dude, don't worry. After her admitting on live television that she was just using me to further her career, I've had nothing to do with her. So no, it's not Eve; I chose Layla instead."
"Okay I think that this just might work out somehow. When I talked to Vince, it was kind of weird. He actually praised me about coming to him with this idea."
"Really? Was he sick or something?"
"Funny, but no he said he had been looking for a way to get Natalya back in the spotlight. Who would have thunk that he would like this match idea?!""
"I wouldn't have believed it in a million years. I think it's a great idea instead of the same old same old match between you and me."
"Agreed. Now let's do this." Punk said, finally shutting up seeing that the Divas had just arrived and the Tyson was making his way back through the curtain, clutching at his neck.
"Why the long face there Tyson? Cobra got your tongue?" Punk laughed as he prodded, trying to get a reaction out of him.
Surprisingly, Tyson kept his mouth shut and just glared at Punk instead. If only looks could kill. When Tyson laid his eyes on Natalya, who showed no signs of remorse, his eyes went soft. He opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off when John's theme song hit.
"Well Layla that is our cue to leave this little get together. Shall we?" John asked as he offered his arm to the British Diva.
"We shall. See you guys out there." She responded with a smile as she linked her arm with his and offered a wave to her opponents.
"Natalya, can we please talk about what happened?" Tyson asked in a pleading manner.
Before Natalya could respond, Punk's theme song hit and just like John did to Layla, he offered his arm to her.
"Shall we?" he asked, mocking John.
The look in her eyes said a thousand words even though she didn't say a single one. She looked as though she was going to give him a chance to explain, but she chose to take Punk's arm. Leading her to the curtain, Punk turned his head to get one last look at Tyson, who's pissed off look had come back all of the sudden. Giving the Canadian a smirk, he walked through the curtain with his ex-girlfriend.
Once out on the stage, he let go of her arm so that he could crouch down like normal. Checking his 'watch' her cupped his hands to his mouth and yelled.
"It's clobberin' time!"
He punched the air just like every time he made his way to the ring. The only thing different this time was that he had Natalya with him. Instead of walking down the ramp backwards, he offered his arm to Natalya again and she took it, hesitating a little bit, worried about how this was going to play out. The crowd was quite confused at the pairing of Natalya and CM Punk, but they went ahead and cheered them on, despite the fact that they were both supposed to be heels.
As the bell rang, Punk started off the match with Cena. They locked up and grappled around for a minute or two before Cena got the upper hand by putting Punk into a headlock. Hitting Cena with several elbows to the gut, he was able to get loose. He ran the ropes and hit his opponent with a hard clothesline that immediately knocked him to the mat. Going for the cover, he ended up with only a two count. Standing back up, Punk started to hit Cena with sharp kicks to the chest and back. Again running the ropes, he went for a shining wizard, but Cena caught his legs and went to lock in the STF. Punk, surprised, wiggled his way over the ropes which cause Cena to have to break the hold. Using the ropes to get back to his feet, he looked up just in time to see Cena's body coming right at him. Moving out of the way at the last second cause Cena to bounce back off the ropes and land with a hard thud to the canvas. This gave Punk room to tag in Natalya.
Entering the ring for the first time, the third generation Diva used all of her strength to get Cena back up to his feet. Once he was on his feet under his own power, she swung her hand back to slap him, only to have him catch her hand. With a shocked expression coming over her, she was scared about what was about to happen. Cena then hauled her up onto his shoulders like he was going to hit the Attitude Adjustment, but was hit with a kick to the gut from Punk instead. Cena dropped Natalya back down onto the canvas on her feet and stumbled back to the side ropes. Landing a dropkick, Punk cause Cena to fall between the ropes and land with a hard thud on the floor on the outside.
Punk then exited the ring to let Natalya grapple with Layla. Getting her wits back in order, Natalya noticed that her opponent wasn't in the ring or even standing on the ring apron. Looking around, she saw that Layla was ringside checking on her partner. Quickly sliding out of the ring, she came up behind the brunette, grabbed a handful of hair and yanked back hard. Letting out a scream of pain, Layla hit the floor just about as hard as Cena did when he went through the ropes. Taking a second to taunt the crowd, Natalya threw her arms up and yelled out her signature "YAY!". Turning her attention back to Layla, she grabbed a handful of hair again and tossed her back into the ring. Layla rolled to the center of the ring and, on wobbly knees, got back to her feet.
As Natalya slid back into the ring and was met with a stiff kick to the ribs. She hollered out in pain as Layla started to stomp on her stomach and kick her. As she went for another kick, Natalya caught her foot and pushed her back, sending Layla flying across the ring. Using the ropes just like Punk did to get back to her feet, Layla charged at her. Quickly utilizing a drop toe hold, Natalya sent her opponent face first into the second turnbuckle. Pulling Layla back by her shorts, she went to roll her up, but thought better of it. Grabbing both of her legs, she crossed them around her right leg and flipped Layla over onto her stomach and leaned back.
Out of the corner of her eye, Natalya saw that Cena was stirring and trying to get back in the ring, but when both knees were on the ring apron; Punk ran around and pulled him back by his belt, sending him crashing back down to the floor below. With a signature laugh, Natalya grinned when she heard the sound of Layla tapping out. Hearing the bell ring, she dropped Layla's legs and kicked her out of the ring where she fell to a heap right next to John. After the referee raised both hers and Punk's hands up in victory, he surprising grabbed her up in a hug and the hoisted her up onto his shoulders. He then grabbed his title and went to all four corners and celebrated with the crowd who loved their heels.
