Elimination Chamber is in about an hour, and we're all busy getting ready. Aly walks out of the bathroom after getting changed and whatnot, then goes over to her shoes and slipping her feet into them. Then she feels hands on her hips.
"Hi." She says without turning around.
"Hi." He says back, laying his head on her shoulder.
She gives a tiny smile and lays her head against his, holding his opposite cheek with her hand.
"I don't think we're going to get off easy with the stalkers this time." She says after a minute of silence.
"Yeah I know..."
"Oh well. At least we've had this much time without anyone making a humongous deal about us getting married."
"Which is a very good thing."
"Mmhmm...gave us time to enjoy it."
"Be prepared for Cole to talk to you about it tonight. Afterall he did freak out about it Monday, clearly heard it on the tv."
"I know, I heard him." She giggles.
"Still can't wait until July though..."
"Of course." She kisses his cheek.
"Shall we get going now?"
"Yeah." She sighs as he pulls away.
"Stupid crutches..." She mumbles under her breath.
"I know you hate them, hopefully you'll be off them soon."
"Hopefully."
He grabs his things, and then holds the door open for her to head out first, then he follows. Meanwhile I've come out of the bathroom and sit on the bed to slip my shoes on. Sitting there, I feel arms go around me and I'm pulled back slightly. Alex places a kiss behind my ear and rests his head against mine.
"A little warning next time if you decide to move me like that." I laugh.
"But it ruins the surprise." He chuckles.
"You and the surprises."
"You know you enjoy them."
"I can't deny that...I do."
He grins and laughs.
"As much as I would love to stay sitting here, we do have a pay per view to get to." I laugh.
"Right." He agrees and pulls away.
Alex grabs his things as I get up, and then we head out the door and down to the car...finally getting into it. We head off to the arena, Aly and I go into the room while Mike and Alex go change to be ready for Mike's match. Aly stretches out on the couch lazily, yawning a little.
"Yeah a bit. Its harder to sleep since I'm used to sleeping on my right side but that's the side my bad knee is on."
"Ah, right."
"But I still have Mike to cuddle with so that helps."
"Aww." I smile.
She smiles a little and giggles. Then Mike and Alex walk in, Alex sitting next to me. Then Mike walks over and sits Aly up slightly so that he can lay her head in his lap. She snuggles into him, a small smile on her lips. The show then starts a few minutes later, with the usual welcome from Cole, along with Josh and Booker T. Then Del Rio's music plays and Ricardo introduces him in spanish of course, but he mentioned something about the NFL's Oakland Raiders being losers.
"Ooh he's brave haha."
Then Del Rio comes out and cuts a pre-match promo about being committed to excellence, unlike 'low-class people from Oakland'. Kofi's music plays as Del Rio continues to talk trash. He comes out with the Intercontinental Championship for a non-title PPV opener match. In the end of the match though, Del Rio wins with the cross arm breaker...making Kofi tap out.
"Boring."
Randy is shown standing backstage as Cole, Booker and Josh talk ringside. Cole has the Slammy award sitting in front of him as usual as he speaks to Booker on what is most likely going through Randy's mind at this point. Then Booker talks about Randy being a future hall of famer. The camera changes to Edge backstage and he's being interviewed by Grisham. They talk as Drew walks into frame saying that he's going to take Edge's most prized possession. Edge comments that the one think Kelly Kelly and the title belt have in common is that both will never be seen on or with Drew.
"Ohhhhh he got dissed."
The screen goes back to the ring where they're dropping the Elimination Chamber. Each member makes their way down the ramp and into the ring, into their respective pods. The match then starts, and Teddy announces the 6th person in the match who is replacing Dolph Ziggler and it happens to be Big Show.
"Ooooh."
"Oh jeez."
It starts off with Edge and Rey. At the announcer's table Booker says everyone knows the odds are against Edge in this match, but continues by adding that Edge has been in these situations before and should be able to hand himself. Rey backdrops over the ropes, landing on the steel grating.
"Ouch..."
"Ow..."
The crowd starts to count down with the clock as the overhead light show leads Wade into the match next. After much back and forth on one another, both Rey and Edge look a bit tired in the ring as Barrett enters and begins to dominate both of them.
"Ehhhh."
After a while no one is eliminated and the next person to come out of their pod was Kane. Followed by Kane after a while was Drew.
"Bleh."
He picks up Rey and throws him into the glass pod. Big Show is the last to enter the match and it's all men now. Show is able to eliminate Wade with a pin. Rey climbs onto one of the pods and leaps off onto Show with a senton. Kane then chokeslams Show and eliminates him. Kane catches Drew by the throat and chokeslams him, eliminating him as well.
"Hahahaaaaaa." Aly and I both laugh.
Rey hits a 619 on Kane. Then Edge spears Rey and Kane, but covers Kane to eliminate him. Kane doesn't leave the match, instead throws a fissy fit and chokeslams both Rey and Edge. After that, Kane leaves the chamber. Rey hits the 619 on Edge and heads for the top rope. Edge spears Rey midair, going for the pin and wins.
"Knew that was gonna happen."
"Pretty obvious."
After the match, Edge is in the center of the ring holding the title. Then Del Rio comes running out and dropkicks Edge in the center of the ring. He then uses the cross arm breaker. But as two refs are trying to get Del Rio off of Edge, we hear Christian's music and he makes his way down the ramp and into the ring. He attacks Del Rio, but is grabbed by a ref. He is able to break free once more to attack Alberto. Finally the refs escort Christion out of the ring and back up the ramp.
"Nice."
Then backstage we see Jerry getting ready for his match against Mike later and he's being interviewed by Striker. Jerry talks about his his emotional rollercoaster ride, and also about his mother dying one week ago tonight. Matt says that everyone is rooting for him to win and wishes him luck.
"Yeah, he's not gonna win. He can get all the good luck wishes he wants."
"I agree." Aly says, glaring at the tv.
We're now looking back out to the ring. Booker T is announce to the ring. Then he introduces Trish Stratus as one of the trainers for Tough Enough. The crowd welcomes her to the ring and she does a weak Rock impression, followed by a weaker Booker T impression. She finishes her time in the ring, saying she hopes to see one of her personal favorites, Jerry Lawler...win the WWE Championship.
"Think again, it's not happening."
The next match of the night was for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Santino and Kozlov were defending against Slater and Gabriel. Slater and Gabriel make their way to the ring accompanied by Ezekiel, followed by Santino and Kozlov being accompanied by Tamina. The match is announce, the bell rings and the match begins. Santino takes the offense in the match as always. But later on, Slater tags in Gabriel with Kozlov not noticing the tag. Gabriel hits the 450 splash for the win, so they're now the new tag team champs.
"Again?"
"That's just great."
During the break a stagehand knocks on the door, telling Mike that he should start heading out or well hanging around the backstage area since his match is coming up soon. Aly slowly sits up and reaches for her crutches as everyone gets up. We head out of the room and hang around backstage, that is until Todd motions us over for a small interview with Mike. Mike is asked how he feels going into the match and he responds with 'It's not 1983'. Mike then takes stabs at both Jerry and the Rock about being oldies in the company before he walks away. Aly and I look at each other and laugh as we follow after him.
Then as we watch on the tv, we hear Vickie quietly saying 'excuse me', which launches the crowd into boos. She makes her way to the ring and once she's in the ring with the microphone she says 'excuse me' again but adds 'please' at the end of it.
"Oh now she says please?"
"I didn't know that word was in her vocabulary."
The crowd quiets down just enough to hear her out. Vickie says she needs help getting Dolph re-hire. She starts begging the WWE Universe to go to facebook and Twitter in hopes that will work to get Dolph re-hired. Teddy's music plays and he walks out telling Vickie to stop, because she's embarrassing herself. Vickie then says for Teddy to look inside his heart. Teddy explains that he did not hire Dolph back but did hire someone else, that he gave free reign to thank her for all her time as acting general manager.
"Bet you it's Kelly."
Sure enough Kelly Kelly's music blares as she makes her way to the ring. Vickie tries to run as soon as Kelly gets into the ring, but Kelly keeps her there in the ring. Vickie had offered to shake her hand but Kelly kicks Vickie in the stomach, slamming her head into the mat repeatedly. LayCool then come out and went after Kelly. LayCool drops Kelly ringside and Michelle shoves her knee into Kelly's head. Trish Stratus then comes running out and successfully fights off LayCool...and in six inch heels no less.
"She gets major points for kicking ass in those shoes."
"Definately, any other person would probably end up hurting themselves."
"I think you two could pull it off if you wanted to." Alex says.
"In six inch heels? I think I'd hurt my ankle or something." I comment.
"I'm with Dolce on that one."
"Never going to risk that one of these days..."
"Uh-huh." Aly shakes her head.
Then we head down to the curtain since Mike's match is coming up in a minute or so. We do the usual and go out with Mike and Alex and get into the ring to wait for Jerry. Jerry makes his way to the ring and after his music fades, the bell rings to begin the match. Jerry takes the upperhand early in the match. Mike goes on the offenseive but Jerry hits a superplex for a nearfall early on. Alex did interfere twice already, without the ref seeing. But this time when Alex tripped Jerry and started walking away, the ref turns and looks at Alex and then ejects him. Alex starts flipping out.
"Calm down, we'll meet you back there." I say to him.
He doesn't listen and he keeps flipping out.
"Alex calm down, Mike's got this. Go backstage." I say, starting to push him up the ramp.
He reluctantly goes, still mad. I return ringside, to watch the match intently. Mike later runs towards Jerry who pulls down the ropes causing Mike to fall out of the ring. Mike hits Jerry from behind, Jerry retaliating by throwing Mike into Cole over the announcer's desk. Then Jerry throws Mike back into the ring. He then makes his way tot he 2nd rope and looks to the Wrestlemania sign as the crowd begins to chant his name. Jerry hits Mike, and later on Mike sets up for his finisher but Jerry gets away. Jerry DDT's Mike, and then he hits him with a fist drop and went for the pin. But Mike puts his foot on the bottom rope at the very last second. Mike gets the second wind and hits the Skull Crushing finale for the pin, winning the match.
"Yes!" Aly exclaims, sighing in relief.
After the match, Cole makes his way into the ring and holds up Mike's hand in victory. Mike then gets out of the ring with the title and looks back at Jerry who is sitting in the ring. We slowly make our way up to Mike on the ramp and backstage with him. We pause briefly backstage and Aly hugs Mike as best she can while having the crutches. After she hugs him, Alex comes up and he hugs him congratulating him like he always does when Mike successfully defends the title. Aly and I exchange smiles as the guys hug. Then we all hang around backstage to watch the final match of the night...the Raw Elimination Chamber match. Mike insisted we watch in the backstage area to see who wins the match. Aly finds a chair and sits down.
The screen goes to John backstage, shown eating a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. Todd kind of looks at John, who responds with 'I'm feeling yabadaba delicious'.
"Dork."
Then we see Striker with Punk in a different part of the backstage area, where Punk says that he is definitely going to win the Elimination Chamber match, then that's followed by a Wrestlemania video.
"Yeah right Punk."
"If anyone's gonna win, it'll be John."
Aly nods in agreement. John is still pretending to eat Fruity Pebbles as he makes his entrance to the ring, after everyone else goes out of course. The match is announce, the bell rings and the match starts. Morrison and Sheamus start off the match, where Morrison has the advantage early on in the match. At one point Sheamus clotheslines Morrison in the middle of the ring. But he jumps right back up and makes his way to the top rope. Sheamus pushes him off and onto the grating before he is able to attempt any high flying moves. Randy did enter the match at one point, and now it was Punk's turn to come out. But problem...Punk was stuck inbetween the opening in the glass.
"Oh my god is he seriously stuck?" Aly asks incredulously and we stare for a minute.
"He is! Hahahahahaha!" Aly and I bust up laughing.
Randy starts beating Punk's head as it's sticking outside the pod. After Punk is outside of his pod, he gets into the ring where Randy RKOs him and pins him to eliminate him.
"Pffft, well that's an embarrassing way to lose."
"Oh yeah."
But then the GM dings in, and Cole reads that due to a pod malfunction...Punk didn't have a fair chance. So he let Punk get back into his pod, to re-enter into the match.
"Aw hell. Stupid GM." I grumble.
"That's crap..." Aly adds.
Mike and Alex just shrug. Punk is put back into his pod. Sheamus, Randy and Morrison were still attacking each other. John is the next to enter the match, but as soon as his door opened Sheamus ran up in his pod and kicks John in the stomach.
"Hey! That's not fair!"
"Jerk!"
Then John and Morrison are at each other, until Sheamus runs up on both of them with a
double clothesline. Sheamus who is not paying attention is attacked by Randy from behind and then Truth is let out of his pod. After Sheamus had gotten up, he was waiting right there for Truth to come out. Truth tosses Sheamus onto the steel grating. But eventually Sheamus kicks Truth, covering him and pinning him...eliminating him. Randy is now attacking Morrison, and then rams him through the glass of one of the pods. Then John and Randy start attacking each other. Punk's pod opens yets again and Randy is waiting for him. But John attacks Randy with an AA before he could even get to Punk.
"Niiiice."
But Randy counters with an RKO on John, which leads to Punk hitting Orton with the GTS and a pin to eliminate him. The crowd chants 'CM PUNK!" as Rand exits the chamber. In the meantime Morrison hits a cross body on Sheamus, eliminating him. John and Punk start attacking each other. John gets an AA on Punk, but Morrison recovers and breaks it all up.
"Damn you Morrison!"
"Ass!"
Punk them attempts a springboard off the ropes but slips. He quickly recovers and hits John with a move on the grating. Punk is clearly heard yelling 'Owww!' after that. Morrison does some high-flying stuff off the steel fencing, finishing up with a cool kick on Punk. He then attempts a split-legged moonsault but Punk moves just in time. Morrison is favoring and holding his knee, and Punk ends up eliminating him. It's now down to only John and CM Punk.
"Come on Sully."
A few seconds later, John attempts the AA on Punk but he blocks it by holding onto the ropes. John just simply pushes Punk over the ropes and onto the steel grating with an AA for the pinfall. Punk is eliminated and John wins. Aly and I high five. The screen fades with John celebrating in the ring.
"Told you he would win."
"I know and I agreed with you." Aly laughs a little.
"The only question is...what does Mike think about it?"
"I'm not sure..." She says, eyeing Mike.
"This is what I was trying to avoid, but I think we all knew this was gonna happen." He comments and we nod.
We then follow him and Alex back to the locker room so they could change.
"Well tonight has been amazing." I comment as we wait outside the locker room.
"Yeah."
"I kind of wish I would've had a match against Eve, but I'll get her sometime."
"I know, you'll get your chance. As for me, I just want to be free of these damn crutches."
"I don't blame you..."
"The most annoying part is not being able to hold hands and stuff with Mike." She sighs.
"Well let's hope the next few weeks go by as fast as they can..."
She nods.
"I'm hoping they'll let me off these soon. My knee feels better than it did those first two days."
"Maybe you should have a talk with the trainer to see if you can be let off them because of that."
"Yeah...do you think we'll have time to do it before we leave?"
"I don't see why not..."
She smiles. Then Mike and Alex walk out of the locker room, all changed.
"Hey, do you think we can make a quick stop at the trainer's?" Aly asks.
"Why?" Mike asks, looking concerned.
"Nothing bad, I just want to see if they'll let me off these crutches."
"She's feeling better than she did those first two days." I add.
"Ohh...yeah I guess."
Then we make our way to the trainer's, Aly heading inside while the rest of us wait outside the room. After a few minutes Aly comes out grinning...no crutches in hand.
"No crutches anymore?"
She shakes her head with a broad smile. Mike grins and walks over, hugging her freely since she don't have the crutches anymore. She wraps her arms around him tightly, giggling happily.
"The night can't get any better..." He mutters.
"I totally agree." Aly replies.
Alex and I look at each other with smiles. Alex drapes his arm across my shoulders and kisses the top of my head.
"We'll let you have your moment there, we'll be back in the room waiting." I comment.
Aly waves at me to show they heard, then Alex and I walk off.
"Mike's right, the night can't get any better."
"Yeah, tonight's been awesome." Alex agrees.
"I don't think awesome begins to cover it. But the only thing that wasn't so awesome...was you getting ejected. The ref didn't even see you trip Lawler."
"That wasn't cool but at least Mike still came out with the win."
"All by himself too."
Alex nods. We walk into the room, and sit back on the couch until Aly and Mike come back. Meanwhile, Mike sets Aly back down on her feet but doesn't let go as they move away from the trainer's doorway.
"I am SO glad to be rid of those crutches. I missed this." She snuggles into him.
"I know, I missed this too." He smiles.
She tilts her head back and lays a soft kiss on the corner of his mouth, the smell of vanilla reaching him.
"I smell that Vanilla." He states.
"Vanilla birthday cake." She giggles quietly.
"You and the flavored lip glosses." He chuckles.
"They're fun." She smiles.
"Nothing beats that raspberry sorbet though..."
"I'll wear that one soon." She smiles a little and places another kiss on his mouth
"Although...I can get used to this one." He smiles.
She laughs and kisses him again, ignoring the sound of footsteps coming closer.
"Ugh..." She hears Gabriel's voice.
She gives him the finger without pulling away from Mike.
"The restraining order against me will be lifted...mark my words..." He comments.
She breaks away from Mike.
"There's nothing you can do anyway."
"Yeah...right."
"You obviously haven't been paying attention to Raw have you."
"No, I saw. But you think that's gonna stop me?"
She holds onto Mike since she can feel him tensing up.
"Just try and see what happens, you have no idea what you're in for." She snaps.
"You must have rocks for brains if you think you're taking me from my husband." She adds,
putting emphasis on 'husband'.
"Come on man, let's just go...it's not worth it right now." Slater says to Gabriel.
Gabriel growls but lets Slater push him down the hall.
"You okay?" Aly asks Mike, looking at him.
He stares after Gabriel, looking angry.
"Hey." He turns his face to her and meet his eyes.
"Ignore him."
"I'll try to...he just really gets under my skin sometimes..."
"I know. Hopefully he's the only run-in tonight. Let's head back to the room."
He nods and then laces his fingers with her as they start to walk back to the room. She lays her head against his shoulder.
"I missed this too..." She comments.
"Yeah." He agrees, kissing her forehead.
She smiles softly and hugs his arm. They make it back without anymore stalker run-ins. Alex and I left the door slightly open for them, so that they'd know it was going to be safe to walk in. Mike taps on it before pushing the door open. I happened to fall asleep since it's been a long night.
"Be as quiet as you can, she fell asleep." Alex says to Mike and Aly.
"I'll grab your stuff, you carry her. I want to get out of here." Mike says quietly.
He nods, and gets up before picking me up off the couch as Mike grabs his stuff along with Alex's. Then we all head out of the arena and into the car, heading back to the hotel. Byt the time we get to the hotel, Aly's dozed off with her head on Mike's shoulder. He gently shakes her, and tells her that we're back at the hotel.
"You can sleep as soon as we get up to our room and you change."
"...don't want to move..."
"You're going to have to...I'm carrying me and Alex's stuff."
Aly grumbles and opens her eyes blearily, stumbling out of the car. Mike goes to the trunk to get the bags, Alex gets out first and then reaches in and pulls me out. Then we all head inside, up to our floor and into our rooms. Aly kicks off her shoes and takes off her jewelry, stealing one of Mike's shirts and changing. He changes himself, and then they both climb into the bed. Meanwhile Alex sets me on the bed, taking off my shoes before trying to wake me up so I can get changed.
"Carebear..." He rubs my cheek gently.
I mumble incoherently, then open my eyes sleepily.
"Time to get changed love."
"Already? Well help me up first..." I yawn, holding out my arms and he pulls me up.
I stretch, feeling the cracking of joints and then walk over to my bag and grab clothes to change into, heading into the bathroom. Once I walk out from changing, I drop my other clothes in the bag and then collapse on the bed. Alex pulls me over to my spot and kisses me gently.
"Night love."
"...night..." I manage to mumble.
