Monday Night Raw after the Rumble. Aly and Mike have already gotten ready and are waiting down in the car for us. Alex and I are getting ready like usual, and I come out after changing and put my regular clothes back into my bag. I turn around as Alex is finishing up getting ready himself and I notice something different about him. His right cheek on his face was slightly puffy/swollen. I immediately worry and I become concerned.
"Alex?" I ask, as he's preoccupied in front of the mirror getting ready.
"Huh?"
"What happened to your face?" I ask, walking over to him.
"Wha- oh that. It just swelled up from a hit during the Rumble."
"You got hit that hard? It doesn't hurt does it?" I say, a concerned tone heard in my voice.
"Not really but thank you for the concern." He says, kissing my cheek.
"Well when things like this happen, how can I not be concerned..."
"I've had worse, I'll be fine."
"I know you've had worse...I've seen it. Especially the moment involving a now unemployed bald headed ninja Kaval..."
Alex winces and touches the back of his head, remembering the incident.
"Yeah, like that."
"But, you never have to deal with him again. Or the risk of that happening." I say, wrapping my arms around his neck and staring into his eyes.
"Right." He smiles a little, resting his forehead against mine.
The ringing of my phone snaps us out of the moment and I unwrap my arms from around him. I walk over and answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"What's taking you so long?" Aly asks on the other line.
"We were talking about something, sorry. We'll be down in a minute." I reply.
"Okay."
I hang up and put my phone in my bag, grabbing my jacket and putting it on and my bag.
"We should get going, Aly's being a little impatient tonight." I laugh.
"When isn't she?" Alex laughs.
"When she's occupied by Mike."
"Which clearly isn't happening right now." I add.
Alex chuckles and agrees, putting his jacket on and following me out of the room. We head downstairs and then outside, getting into the car. Aly notices in the rearview mirror what happened to Alex.
"Whoa, DC what happened to you?"
"Bad hit during the Rumble." He shrugs.
"But he's okay." I add.
"And that's all that matters."
"Right."
"So what's going on for matches tonight?"
"Well I got a rematch with Edge tonight." Mike replies.
"Oh great." Aly rolls her eyes.
"Yeah, since no one won last week, this time there HAS to be a winner."
"Well hopefully it's you."
"Hopefully."
We get to the arena and head inside. I drop back to walk by Aly.
"So are you and Mike okay?" I ask.
"Yeah we're fine. Talking with Sully helped. I'm still not happy with what Mike did but it is what it is." She replies shrugging.
We stop by the room to drop off our things and then we hang around backstage itself and as the show starts we stop and watch the tv screen to see what is going to happen. After Cole does the introductions, the camera goes to Justin in the ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time, Alberto Del Rio's personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez!"
He comes out by the ramp and just speaks plain spanish. The only thing we understood was when he said the city and state we were in.
"Ugh, speak English idiot."
Then a mariachi band comes out with a dancer, being led down the ramp and into the ring by Ricardo. Then they were followed by the beeping of a car horn and in drives Alberto in one of his fancy cars as usual.
"Oh jeez." I say, rolling my eyes.
He gets out of the car and poses on the ramp as usual, then gets into the ring where it was all set up with a carpet and balloons, the band and everything. He grabs a mic as he gets into the ring and the music stops, signalling that he was gonna talk.
"My name...my name is Alberto Del Riooooooo! But you already know that."
"We wish we didn't."
"You people...you people never never listen. I told you it was my destiny to win the Royal Rumble. But you didn't listen. That's your problem, you never listen."
"You never listen!" Ricardo butts in.
"I told you."
"He told you." Ricardo butts in again.
"Somebody shut them up." Aly sighs.
"Anyway anyway anyway, tonight...tonight we're going to celebrate me, Alberto Del Rio. Hey...hey hey hey hey hey, I'm going to headline Wrestlemania! Hey hey hey hey, even that you don't deserve it because I know this is a blue collar town. I hired the best mariachi in Mexico. This mariachi only plays for the Mexican president Calderon and myself. But hey hey hey hey, this is not Justin Bieber's music..."
"Ew...Bieber." Aly twitches.
"...this is real music. This is real music. Anyway, I have something really important to tell you. As the winner of the Royal Rumble I can choose who I'm going to face at Wrestlemania. The WWE Champion, or the World Heavyweight Champion. And I have made my decision. And I'm going to tell you my decision right now. The championship I will be going after at Wrestlemania will be...the..." He pauses and then speaks in Spanish so no one knows what he's talking about.
"He's retarded I swear."
Mike motions for us to follow him and we go to the curtain. He tells one of the tech people to play his music. Once it plays, we walk out a little while later down the ramp and into the ring. Aly and I decide to stay over by the corner.
"Alberto, before you make your decision I just wanted to say congratulations. You winning the biggest Royal Rumble in the history of this company is impressive. Almost as impressive as winning Money In The Bank, cashing it in, beating Randy Orton three times and remaining the WWE Champion." Mike says.
"Only not really." Aly mumbles.
"I just hope you choose to face me at Wrestlemania. Because make no mistake about it, I will be the WWE Champion by the time Wrestlemania comes around. Now I can't say the same for the World Heavyweight Champion Edge. Edge, let's face it, he's going to lose his World Heavyweight Championship at the Elimination Chamber. But I thought I'd should tell you something about Edge. Last night as I was leaving the arena, he was celebrating. He was telling anyone that would listen, that he was going to embarrass you at Wrestlemania."
"I hope he does." I say quietly and Aly nods in agreement.
"He mocked your accent, he said that real champions don't wear cute, little Eddie Bauer scarfs. His words, his words. He even said the cars you drive in here around, are rentals. Don't look at me, ask Alex Riley..ask him."
"Alberto, I give you my word. I heard Edge say to anybody that would listen, that he has no respect for a second rate JBL, meets Tito Santana knock off like Alberto Del Rio. I heard it."
Aly and I both snicker quietly.
"I know you Miz, and to me this is...some ploy to make me choose Edge instead of you. Are you lying to me..." He trails off and ends in Spanish.
"Alberto...me lying really? Really? Really? Listen, you took out Edge's little buddy Christian. He's threatened by you. Edge doesn't like you and most of all he doesn't respect you. I just figured I would tell you the truth about Edge, talking about stuff behind your back."
Alberto goes to talk but then Edge's music interrupts him. We all look towards the top of the ramp as Edge walks out.
"Oh no..."
"Just great..." Aly rolls her eyes.
As Edge is taking his time to get into the ring, Del Rio takes his eyes off of him for once second and looks over at us. He smiles and does that wink thing of his to us.
"Oh ew." Aly says, almost gagging.
Aly and I decide to get away from him and go over to Mike and Alex, staying close to them for safety.
Edge gets into the ring and Del Rio turns his attention back to him as the music fades.
"Alberto Miz is right, he's absolutely right...I don't like you and I don't respect you. But he's wrong about one thing...see I wouldn't say those things behind your back. I'd just come out here and tell them to you to your face. See I will be champion at Wrestlemania. And if you choose to face me, I will beat you. Want to know why? Because I'm the Rated-R, Superstar." He says rolling the his R's.
We all look to Del Rio to see what he's going to say.
"But you already knew that didn't you?" He asks, imitating the wink that Alberto does.
"The only thing I know is that it's my destiny to be the greatest of the great." And then he continues the next sentence in Spanish.
"And at Wrestlemania, I will be...the new..." Del Rio continues, looking between Mike and Edge.
"...World Heavyweight Champion."
Aly sighs a little in relief.
"Congratulations, take this with you." Edge says, hitting Del Rio over the head with the mic.
We back away with Mike and Alex, Edge turning to look at them. We all get out of the ring, Mike telling Edge that he's not going to do anything. We leave as Del Rio kicks Edge and then grabs a guitar as he gets up. He hits Edge over the back with it and we're already up the ramp as he gets Edge in the cross arm bar submission lock.
"I swear I about gagged out there." Aly grimaces, shuddering as we get backstage.
"Oh I know...now I feel gross after that."
Mike and Alex look at us in confusion, having missed the exchange between us and Del Rio.
"He basically checked us out and then winked at us." I answer the confused looks on their faces and they scowl.
"But I don't think we have to worry about him becoming a stalker. I think he has at least that kind of respect for us."
"One would hope. I'm still feeling creeped out though."
"Right, we don't need to be creeped out more than we are."
She nods and shivers again. We get back to the room and relax for a while before the show comes back on. We lean against Mike and Alex, giving random shudders every now and then.
"Okay there's got to be some way that can get you two less creeped out."
"I don't know." Aly shrugs.
"Me neither...no idea." I agree.
"I'm sure the feeling will go away eventually though right?" Alex asks.
"I think so."
After the commercial break, they replay what happened with Del Rio and Edge, then move onto Jerry and Cole. Out of nowhere the GM ding rings out through the arena.
"Oh god, what now?"
"I don't know but it probably isn't good."
"Can I have your attention please? I have just received and email from the anonymous Raw
General Manager. And I quote. Tonight for the first time ever, we're going to have a Raw Rumble match. Seven superstars will participate. The winner of the Raw Rumble match will go on to face the WWE Champion at the Elimination Chamber pay per view. The remaining 6 competitors will battle in the Elimination Chamber match itself. Tonight's participants in the Raw Rumble match are Randy Orton...CM Punk...John Morrison...R-Truth...Sheamus...Jerry 'The King' Lawler..."
"You have got to be kidding me!"
"...and John Cena!"
"Figured."
Then the bell rings signalling the start of a match. It was Santino and Kozlov vs McGillicutty
and Husky for the Tag Team Championships. It was a long and grueling match, but in the end Santino and Kozlov won. As they were walking up the ramp, out runs Randy and he slides into the ring where Husky still is. McGillicutty tries going after him and misses, falling right into an RKO. He rolls out of the ring, and Husky suffers the same fate.
"Haha."
Randy stares at Husky and the backs up into the corner, after hearing from the crowd chanting his name. He then gets into position and we know what's coming...the dreadly punt to the head.
"Do it...do itttt." I chant.
"Come on, do it." Aly adds.
"Randy Orton...Randy Orton do not do that!" We hear Punk's voice ring out through the arena.
"Do it anyway!"
Randy turns his head and then we all see Punk coming out with the rest of Nexus behind him.
"Don't do it Randy. You don't want to do this, this is nothing you want to be a part of. It's certainly nothing that I would do. Randy...RANDY...do I have to say please?"
"Sure, not like he's going to listen."
Randy stares in Punk's direction, with the evil look in his eyes.
"Randy I'm not going to beg you. But for once in your life, take some advice...don't do it. If you kick Husky Harris in the skull right now, there will be serious consequences and repercussions."
"Do it anyway!"
Randy looks back and forth between Husky and Punk, then settling his eyes on Husky. He thinks about it and then steps away, staring at Punk and then one side of the arena...followed by the other side. He no longer has to think, as he looks at Punk and smiles evilly. He backs up right into the corner again, setting up for the punt. He then runs and successfully punts him in the head, rushing out of the ring as Nexus run down to Husky's aid.
"Haha!" Aly and I both laugh.
"One down...four to go."
"Yup."
Randy runs into the crowd and to the top of the seats where everyone is. His music plays as he stares at Nexus from above. The screen fades to commercial as his music keeps playing.
"Okay, so Randy gains some points back for doing that."
"Yes."
After we come back from the commercial break again, they replay what Randy did which was just epic. Then as Cole and Jerry were talking, Ted's music plays and out he walks with Maryse.
"Ewwww."
Aly growls, glaring.
His music fades as he goes to talk, walking down the ramp and around the ring with Maryse.
"Jerry Lawler...the King! You know it doesn't thrill me to say it but, your career is over. And mine, mine is just getting started. You don't need anymore opportunities Jerry. It's time for guys like you to step aside for the future." He says, walking up to the announce desk.
"Agreed." Mike nods.
"So why don't you do the right thing for the future, and give me your spot in tonight's Raw Rumble."
Jerry goes to answer but Cole takes the mic from him.
"King King King, let me...let me handle this."
"Oh jeez."
"Teddy...how disrespectful can one man be? Have you ever met Jerry 'the king' Lawler? This man is a legend. This man is a hall of famer. You've heard of the showstopper right? This man is the scene stealer. There's no way he's going to allow his selfish, self-centered, narcissistic ego take himself out of the match tonight...and give the spot. No way, not in your lifetime! It won't happen. Just exhale Teddy."
"Nice."
Then Jerry takes the mic away from Cole.
"Let me tell both of you guys something. You know...I'm not giving my spot up in the Raw Rumble to anybody. You know how they always talk about the Road to Wrestlemania? Well mine has always been under construction. I've been in the WWE for 18 years now, and I've never competed in a match at Wrestlemania. So as far as I'm concerned, my Road to Wrestlemania starts tonight in that ring."
We roll our eyes.
"You know what else Cole? If it weren't for you, I would probably be the WWE Champion right now. You see I can beat the Miz, I know I can beat the Miz. And I'm going to be in the Raw Rumble...and as a matter of fact Teddy I'm going to win it."
"You won't be beating Mike." Aly mumble, glowering.
Ted then smacks Jerry on the back of the head, shoving him as well and then walks away with Maryse laughing. Jerry stares at Ted and then walks around quickly and goes to punch Ted right in the face. But Ted immediately hides behind Maryse and Jerry stops instantly.
"Too bad he won't hit her. I'd laugh."
Ted is smiling up a storm, laughing at Jerry. He lets go of Maryse and she slowly turns around with a look of shock on her face. Ted's reaction changes and he says 'what' to her. She says 'what' herself and she smacks Ted right across the face. She shakes her hand, after the slap then does her hand motion thing to him and walks away. That results in Ted being distracted and Jerry knocking him out.
"Pfft."
The crowd chants 'Jerry' and Cole goes off on a rant about what just happened. They replay what happened with Cole still ranting. Even after the replay he's ranting even more.
"Ohhhh, shut up already."
Aly just rolls her eyes.
Another commercial break, and when we come back there's this creepy promo thing where we see boots and the bottom of a trenchcoat. The person walks up the steps of a building and disappears. Then the numbers 2-21-11 appear on the screen.
"Creepy much?"
Aly studies it, tilting her head.
"Seems like a very Undertaker like thing..."
"Yeah I can see a reference like thing to him. I guess we'll find out February 21st."
"Guess so."
Then after that, we go back to the ring area where Cole and Jerry are sitting with the Bella twins, and Daniel Bryan's music is playing. Daniel was taking on Tyson Kidd with Gail ringside for Daniel. In the end Daniel won and he was celebrating in the ring with Gail. That's when the Bellas got into the ring to offer their apology to Daniel and Gail. But then one of the Bellas shoves Gail and she shoves back, sending one of the Bellas to the apron. Then yet again, another fight breaks out between Gail, the Bellas and Daniel.
"Oh my god, here we go again." Aly scoffs.
During the match though Mike had gone to get ready for his match against Edge since it was coming up after Daniel's match. He came back to get all of us right when the refs were pulling the girls apart from each other. We walk out and the camera focuses on Mike and us walking to the curtain to go out to the ring.
"I hate these matches, they're good for nothing but a headache." Aly mutters.
"I know. But I kind of have a bad feeling about this match."
She nods in agreement, frowning. We all ended up coming out during the commercial break. Alex being spoken to by Mike as we stand outside the ring on the floor. After all the
introductions, the bell rings and the match starts. They lock up and Mike breaks the hold, they then stare at each other. They circle each other and lock up again. Edge gets Mike in a headlock but Mike gets out of it, and Edge counters his move. Edge punches him a few times until he leans against the ropes. He then elbows him in the back, making Mike stumble away. Edge pushes against the ropes and sends Mike running, but Mike counters and sends Edge running. Mike bends over but Edge grabs him and does a swinging neckbreaker. Edge quickly goes into the cover but Mike kicks out at 1. Mike backs up into the corner as Edge comes after him. The ref counts down as Edge repeatedly kicks Mike while he's in the corner. He backs up after 5, and then hits Mike across the back as he gets back up. Edge holds Mike in the ropes as the ref counts down. Edge lets go before 5 of course. Another rope movement but this time as Mike gets over to Alex and us, Alex pulls him out of harms way outside the ring.
Edge comes over and picks Mike up by his hair, back up onto the side of the ring. But Mike grabs the already injured arm from of Edge from earlier tonight and jumps down, making it hit the top rope. Mike pulls Edge out of the ring and throws him into the steel steps. Mike picks him up by the hair this time, rolling him back into the ring. He goes for the pin, but Edge kicks out at 2. Mike then knees Edge in the back, and elbows him in the chest/shoulder a couple times. He gets him in an arm lock submission move and holds it for a while until Edge gets up and gets out of the hold. But as quickly as Edge countered, Mike counterd right back, going after the arm again. Mike goes for the pin again, but Edge kicks out at 2. He then goes after the arm again and leans Edge into the ropes and the ref counts down to make him let go. He does and while the ref is distracted, Alex comes in and punches Edge in the head, making him bouce back off of the ropes. Mike goes for the pin again and Edge kicks out at 2.
Mike then goes after the arm again, putting pressure on it, holding it there for a while. Edge does manage to get up and counters the move like before. And again just as quickly as Edge countered, Mike countered right back. He ran and went against the ropes, coming back and hoping to get Edge, but Edge gained momentum and flipped sort of and knocked Mike down. Mike gets up though and Edge immediately comes after him. But Mike countered another move, going after the already hurt arm of Edge. He then continues to work on the injured shoulder and hold it for a while. Edge reaches and reaches for the ropes, which he does manage to grab, making Mike let go. Mike runs to knock Edge off the side of the ring but he counters and slides underneath Mike, rolling him up for the pin. But Mike powers out just in time. Mike still has the momentum and goes for another pin, but of course Edge kicks out.
He kept on the injured shoulder/arm of Edge and holds it again for a while. Edge gets up though...again and counters, going after Mike. Edge sends him against the ropes and gets tricked in one move. Then they both go against the ropes and end up kicking each other in the face as well. Both of them are down and the ref starts counting down. Both of them are slowly moving and start getting up. Both get to their feet and then Mike goes face first to the apron by Edge. Mike leans on the ropes and then gets up goin after Edge, but Edge counters. Edge covers, but Mike kicks out. Edge goes right after Mike in the corner. Mike throws Edge into the opposite corner as soon as he gets up. He runs at Edge but he moves and rolls up Mike trying for a pin again. But Mike powers out just in time. Mike gets right on Edge and kicks him in the face, going for another pin. But no, Edge powers out again. Mike gets up and goes outside the ring, getting up to the top rope, and jumping off but Edge counters and gets Mike down. Edge then sets up for the spear as Mike gets up. But as Edge runs, Mike sidesteps and Edge goes into the corner.
All of a sudden the crowd goes crazy and we hear John's voice.
"Hey. Hey Miz! Miz hey! You can do it! What's up man? What's going on? There's a party going on up here, we're having a good time!"
"What the hell?"
"Don't mind me, we're just cheering for you! No no no no, we're cheering for you...we're all cheering for you."
Mike then goes over and stares at John way up in the stands.
"Miz is awful. Miz is awful."
Aly rolls her eyes. But when Mike turns around, he's speared by Edge and Edge covers him and wins the match.
"What the hell!"
John is laughing as Edge gets out of the ring and walks back up the ramp. Alex comes over and pulls Mike out of the ring and he kneels down on the floor, Alex asking him if he's okay. Mike stands up a bit and leans against the side of the ring as he and Alex stare up at John. Cole walks away from the desk and comes over to Miz to see if he's alright. Mike pulls away from him and Cole goes ranting off on Alex.
"Go do something."
"He's all the way up there!" Alex retorts.
"Go up there and get him!"
Aly ignores Alex and Cole, rushing to Mike to see if he's alright. Mike says nothing but stares at John way up in the stands. Cole goes back to the desk and Alex goes back over to Mike.
"You alright?"
Then they stare up at John, as we go to another commercial break.
"Mike" Aly asks, trying to get a response.
"I'm fine...let's go..."
Aly bites her lip and nods as we all head backstage.
"Mike don't worry about this, it was a pointless match to begin with." I comment and he nods.
"You're okay though right?" Aly asks.
"Yes, I'm fine."
"Alright, just making sure..."
"I'm going to change, I'll meet you at the room." Mike says.
"Okay." Aly says and we all walk back to the room.
"I'm just glad that Mike is okay. I can't even tell you how mad I would have been at Sully if something had gone wrong when he distracted Mike." Aly says once we all sit down to watch the show while waiting on Mike.
"You and I both, I guess John wanted revenge after what Mike did in the Rumble last night."
"I guess so."
"But still not cool."
"No, not at all."
After the commercial break we come back to Cole and Lawler, and they reveal that Stone Cold is going to be the host of the return of Tough Enough.
"Ooooh, that sounds like it's going to be interesting."
"Oh yeah, for sure."
But the celebration for that is soon interrupted by the sound of Vickie's voice.
"Excuse me!"
"Oh god no..."
"Oh hell."
"Excuse me!" She yells walking out.
"Edge may have won his match tonight...but his odds on winning Friday are nearly impossible. See, I have quite the surprise for Edge. The World Heavyweight Championship will be defended. It will be defended in a way that has never ever been defended before. So I invite everybody to join me on SyFy to witness this historic Smackdown occasion." Vickie adds, then after she finishes she walks backstage.
"Ooookay..."
"And that concerns Raw how?"
"I have no idea."
"You know she don't even belong here, go back to Smackdown."
"I wish she would."
Not too long after, Eve's music plays and out she walks with the title and with Natalya. Aly scowls.
"I hope she doesn't think she's keeping that for very long."
Aly nods slightly in agreement, glowering at the screen. Then they show a highlight picture of what happened last night during the match. After Eve's music faded, LayCool's music played and they walked out.
"Okay, they're wearing the same attire from last night...ew."
"Ew..."
Then they showed what happened earlier today backstage with LayCool.
"No listen I did my part, I always do my part."
"You're right Chelle I'm sorry. It's not my fault, you kicked me in the face with your big foot."
"My big foot? Shrimp, are you kidding me?"
"No no no no, Chelle you totally did your part. It was the referee's fault, totally his fault."
"You're right, it was the ref's fault. I guess everyone can't be..." Michelle trails off and looks at Layla.
"...flawless." They say together.
"Aww, Chelle..." Layla says, and they hug.
Aly and I both roll our eyes.
"Gag me with a spoon..." I comment, just as Mike walks in and he looks at me weird.
"LayCool." Aly tells him simply.
He mouths 'oh' and joins her on the couch. She slides over to curl against him.
The match started and Michelle was basically getting her butt kicked by Natalya. That is until she tagged in Layla. When Layla stopped arguing with Michelle, she turned around and stared at Natalya, stopping in her tracks. When Natalya started walking towards her, she screamed and curled up on the apron in fear.
"Oh my god, what a wimp."
Natalya tapped her on the shoulder and she screamed again. Then she kicked her lightly
and she still screamed. Natalya then picked her up and she screamed more. Layla got down off of Natalya's shoulder and she went back to staring at Natalya. Natalya didn't move more than an inch and Layla went running and jumped up and just started clinging to Michelle who was outside the ropes.
"This is retarded." I say.
"No wonder Divas have a bad name." Aly comments.
"They're ruining the word 'Diva' for the rest of us."
"Half these girls are ruining what used to be a good Women's division."
"I know...Natalya, Melina, Beth and ourselves are basically the only good ones in the division."
"Kelly too. But yeah, that's pretty much it."
"Everyone else is just a big joke."
"Yup. The biggest being LayCool and Maryse.
In the end, LayCool won due to a distraction.
"Pointless...and they need to go back to Smackdown too."
"Agreed."
Another commercial break and when we came back Khali's music plays and he walks out with Mark Henry. The camera briefly looks into the ring and the Uso Brothers are in the ring.
"Wow, they stand no chance against Khali and Henry."
"Yeah no..."
Khali's music is cut off due to the GM ding.
"Oh..." I sigh in frustration, shaking my head.
"Now what."
"And I quote. As I see the Usos stand across the ring from the Great Khali and the world's strongest man, let's face it...they don't have a chance."
"Noooooo..." I say sarcastically.
"Yeah they're soooo going to win."
"So to give the Usos a more competitive advantage, I've decided to alter tonight's contest and instead these two teams will compete in a dance off. Each team...each team...will have the opportunity to strut their stuff inside the ring. And you the WWE Universe will be the judge on who is the winner. Gentlemen let's boogie woogie woogie."
"Oh my god."
The music starts and first up are the Usos. They start dancing and Cole starts singing along to the music, and then he starts dancing himself.
"Oh god, what an embarrassment."
"Oh lord."
"Definately the biggest nerd EVER."
"Yeah pretty much."
The music stops for a brief moment and then starts up again for Mark and Khali to dance. Mark was more into the dancing than Khali.
"Now this is amusing..."
Aly just snickers. Even Mike and Alex are amused. The music stops, but then the Usos go right after Khali and Henry. But their plan backfired as they both get knocked out. Then they replay what happened with Randy and Nexus earlier tonight, including the punt to Husky's head.
"Now that was just epic."
"That was good."
We go to yet another commercial and when we come back they show that little creepy promo thing. Then they show the trailer for HHH's new movie The Chaperone. After that was over, it was now time for the Raw Rumble match. The rules were the same as the Royal Rumble match last night. The first participant to come out was Morrison.
"Ugh."
Then #2 was Sheamus.
"Keebler Elf..."
"King Mayo!"
We went to another commercial and when we came back it was still Sheamus and Morrison in the ring. After the first 90 seconds were over, the countdown went off and when it buzzed, the 3rd person to come out was John. Aly just watches quetly, not so pleased with John afer what happened earlier. He ran down the ramp and immediately went after Sheamus after sliding into the ring. He then goes after Morrison, after taking care of Sheamus. But that lasted not too long since Morrison gained momentum and went after both John and Sheamus. After the 2nd 90 seconds, the buzzer went off and the 4th person to come out was CM Punk.
"Booooo."
"Ewwww..."
He comes running down the ramp and slides into the ring, immediately going after John as Sheamus and Morrison go at each other. Then Morrison gets away from Sheamus and Punk goes after him too. Then he goes after Sheamus and goes after each and every person in the ring. The 3rd 90 seconds went by and the buzzer went off, with #5 being R-Truth and he runs out, sliding into the ring. No one gets eliminated this round and the buzzer goes off again and out runs Jerry.
"Let's just go finish watching this out there somewhere, since we're leaving right after this
match is over." Mike says, motioning to the door.
"Okay." We agree.
We grab our things and head out, choosing an area close to the exits so that we can leave right after the match. During the time that we were leaving the room, the last participant to come out for the match was Randy. When we get to a tv to watch the rest of the match, we see Randy running out and slow down as he doesn't see Punk in the ring. He starts looking around, and under each side of the ring. He gets to the side that Cole and Josh are by and he looks under. There he spots Punk and he pulls him right out from under the ring.
"What the hell was doing under there?"
"Hiding like the wimp he is, obviously."
"Good point."
As we're watching the match, Punk gets eliminated by Randy, but Truth comes over and eliminates Randy.
"Awww too bad."
We continue with watching the match, and that's when we heard Eve's voice saying hi to Alex as she got closer.
"What gives her the right to talk to him after what she did to him last year?" I mumble to you quietly.
"I don't know but one remark about the title and I'm kicking her ass."
"Hey..." He says, not interested in talking to her as he's busy watching the match.
Aly and I are eyeing her warily matching scowls while Mike and Alex are more into watching the match.
"I just wanted to say that you look really handsome tonight."
"...thanks." Alex says after looking at her weirdly.
"Don't you have somewhere to be, and other people to annoy?" I comment and she ignores me.
"Well I'll be seeing you around." She says in a sultry voice, touching his shoulder before walking away.
I glare at her as she walks away and shake off the thought that came to my mind.
"I hope she gets her ass kicked."
"Me too..." I agree.
Alex brushes off his shoulder while making a face.
"I don't blame you for making that face." I say to him.
"Creepy woman."
It came down to John, Sheamus and Jerry. Jerry eliminated John on accident, and when Sheamus went to eliminate Jerry, John jumped up and pulled on the top rope sending Sheamus to the floor and eliminating him.
"Joy." Aly rolls her eyes and scowls.
"I guess we can go now..."
"Yeah, let's get out of here."
We grab our things and we head out the nearby doors and get into the car. I was deep in thought the whole ride back, being silent the whole time. We get out of the car and head into the hotel. Mike and Alex walk ahead, talking about the last match and Aly drops back to walk with me.
"You okay?"
"I'm just thinking...something is bothering me."
"Eve?"
"Yeah..."
"What about it?"
"I don't know...the way she was acting towards Alex...it seems like she was flirting with him or something."
"Yeah...but you know you don't have anything to worry about. Alex isn't about to pay her any attention, his eyes have always been on you."
"I know...it just bothers me that she would try anything. Like really?"
"Now you know how I feel with Maryse stalking Mike all the time."
"And here I thought that no one was going to try to go after him."
"Well I guess it was bound to happen at some point."
"Yeah, but a while after our engagement is announced?"
"Must be confident in herself." Aly shrugs.
"Must be. You'd think she'd know not to mess with me after what you and I did to her."
"She's stupid like Maryse. How many times have I had to beat the crap out of Maryse and she still comes after Mike."
"Yeah, you got a point."
"If Eve tries something, we'll be there to kick her ass."
"That's for sure." I nod.
"So don't let it bother you, we'll deal with her when the time comes."
"Well you'll get to deal with her when your rematch comes up, because you are entitled to one."
"True. I'll be sure to beat her up extra good for you then."
"Oh please do, I can't wait for that."
"Me either."
Then we get to our doors and walk into our rooms for the night. Alex looks up as I walk in.
"Hey there you are." He says and then notices the look on my face.
"Something wrong?"
Kind of...but it's not as bad as when we left the arena."
"What ab- Ohhh...you're bothered about Eve aren't you."
"Is it that obvious?"
"Maybe not to some, but you know I can read you like a book." Alex points out, taking my hands and tugging me into his arms.
"I don't get it...last year she didn't even try to come after you. Now a while after our engagement is announced, she's making moves on you."
"I don't know either but she can try all she wants, I'm yours for life."
"I know, but it still bothers me that she's going to start doing this."
"Try not to worry about it, we'll deal with it as it comes." Alex says, kissing my forehead.
"That's what Aly said too basically..." I laugh slightly.
"Well, she's right." He chuckles.
"She does anything, I'm going after her. Make things hurt more than what Aly and I did to her last year."
"Fiesty." Alex smirks.
"Shut up..." I laugh, rolling my eyes and playfully pushing him and he laughs.
"Now let me go so I can change out of this dress..."
"Hmmm, I don't think so."
"And why not."
"Because I don't want to let you go..."
"Well you're going to have to at some point." I giggle lightly.
"Nu-uh."
"Alex...come on."
"Fine...ruin my fun." He says, letting me go.
"You'll live." I reply as I go to my bag and get something to change into.
"Oh, I don't know about that..." He trails off.
I shake my head in amusement, going to get changed. After I come out after changing I see him laying across the bed.
"Still alive?" I giggle.
"Barely." He mumbles.
"Awww, poor baby." I tease.
"Hmph."
"Now move, you're taking up the whole bed."
"Nope."
"Come on." I say, climbing up and lay on him.
"Now I'm definately not moving..." He mumbles, with his eyes closed.
"Alex." I laugh.
"Move..." I say, poking his chest repeatedly.
"No."
"Then I'm not stopping the poking."
He wraps me in a bear hug, pinning my arms down so I can't poke him.
"What now?" Alex asks, opening his eyes.
"I may not be able to move my arms, but I can still use my hands."
He raises his eyebrows. I'm able to move my hands and I poke his sides. He chuckles and then catches me offguard with a kiss.
"Hey...no fair...sneak attack." I mumble and he smirks.
"Should've thought about that, before poking me..."
I don't reply, having gotten distracted as he deepens the kiss. But I do manage to whine a little since I can't move my arms. He chooses to let my arms go in favor of threading his fingers through my hair. I settle my hands on his shoulders, but I unfortunately had to pull away for air.
"You're evil sometimes..."
"You love it." Alex chuckles.
"And you have to move...still..."
He scooches until he's laying in his spot but I'm still resting on him.
"See? You lived."
He chuckles.
"Now was it so hard to wait for that?"
"...yes..."
"Poor you." I say, patting the top of his head jokingly.
"Haha." He says dryly.
"Not everything will come to you instantly...there are some things you have to wait for..."
"Yeah..." He sighs.
"But I think it's time to go to sleep, we had a long night."
"Right." He kisses my forehead.
"Night love."
"Night."
Meanwhile Aly and Mike are already changed and are laying in bed.
"I'm glad you're okay after that spear." Aly says quietly, drawing circles on his chest.
"I've gotten speared before, I mean it's not like tonight was the first time ever that I've gotten speared."
"I know but still."
"I'm just a bit sore, but other than that I'll be okay."
She nods quietly.
"Oh by the way...Carly was really quiet tonight after we left. Let me guess though, it had to
do with Eve right?"
"Yeah. She's bothered by the fact that Eve's starting something now after knowing about the engagement for a while."
"She's going to become a stalker like Maryse..."
"Probably." Aly sighs.
"Well that's great...that's just what they need." He sighs as well.
"I know but there's not really anything we can do right now."
"Yeah, I know."
"I'm just glad none of our stalkers can do anything."
"Yeah, that's the good thing."
"There's a lot less stress knowing that I don't have to constantly worried about them trying things."
"Yeah, you don't need all that stress."
"You too."
"I know, I'm under enough stress with the issue with Jerry."
She growls a little.
"Ooh that makes me so mad. He's a bitter old man who needs to keep his dumb ass out of
the ring and leave you alone."
"Well he's not beating me at Elimination Chamber...no way."
"Not a chance."
"We got 3 weeks until then...we won't have to worry about it for a while."
"Right."
"But I know we've had a long night, maybe we should get some sleep?"
She nods and reaches up to kiss him lightly.
"Night, love you."
"Love you too, night." He says, shutting off the light.
