We get to the arena walking inside, and then going into the usual room that we hang out in.
"Tonight should be an interesting night, with Undertaker coming back and all..."
"Yeah."
Eventually the show did start, with 2/21/11 coming up on the screen with a countdown below and the latest promo video playing in the background. The picture changes abruptly to the Raw intro, then the pyros and of course Cole introducing the show. That's followed by John's music playing and he runs out like his dorky self always does. Aly and I both wave at the tv. He runs down the ramp and slides into the ring like always, and looks around at the cheering crowd. He stares and points over at the Wrestlemania sign, then as his music fades he grabs a mic and starts talking.
"What a day, what a day, what a day, what a day!" He exclaims, pausing as the crowd cheers.
"And what a crowd." He continues.
"So..." He trails off, and the crowd chants 'Rocky'.
"So I win the Elimination Chamber last night. And find out that I'm going to Wrestlemania! I will face the Miz for the WWE Championship. I mean it should be a...it should be a wonderful accomplishment, it should be a wonderful night filled with wine, women and song all rolled into one. Moments of smiles and bad decisions. Maybe waking up with a headache, maybe waking up simply saying...I'm going to Wrestlemania!"
"Okay..."
"But this isn't your normal situation. 'Cause ever since last Monday, I haven't been hearing about the Miz, I haven't been hearing about the Elimination Chamber. I've been hearing about some alleged comments made by the Rock. Walk into a gas station 'Yo, Rocky was talking about mad about you man, what're you gonna do about it?'. 'You can't let Rocky talk trash about you like that, what're you gonna do?'. 'I can't wait to see Raw to see what Cena says about the Rock'." John says, imitating people's voices.
"This should be interesting." Aly says to me.
"Guys I...I don't know what to say. I mean honestly I...I was gonna let him slide, he's...he's the Rock. I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what. This is what I think we should do...I think we should look at the footage one more time and then maybe we'll decide what to do. Let's take a look at what he said...please please. Roll the footage."
They roll the footage of Rock making fun of John, mocking him and whatnot...calling him a bowl of Fruity Pebbles.
We can't help but laugh.
"You know what? I guess I was really excited to see him last Monday, but after watching that back...he was pretty much making fun of me. I...I think I should...I should probably say something about that right? Wait. Wait wait wait wait wait wait. Guys if I go there and if I call somebody out, there's only...there's only one way I know how to do it. I haven't...I haven't done it in a long time, but I still do have a degree in Thuganomics."
"Aha, his rapper gimmick. This should be good."
"Oh jeez."
"You know what, you know what? I think we got to do this here tonight. I think we have to answer the Rock, I think we have to send a message, because if I don't...I won't be able to focus on Wrestlemania. I won't be able to focus on Miz. If I don't end this tonight, then all I will hear about is Rocky. So I'm gonna do this once, this is a one time deal for ya'll here tonight."
"He's actually going to do it, ohhh this is going to be good."
"I should probably make sure I still got it...hold on a second...ahem. Yo yo yo...no that's not right. Yo, alright I got my Fresno state of mind, I'm ready to do this. Let me get my chain out for a second. Finally the Rock came back and everyone was getting with it. Till' he said I was talking trash, but he would never be specific. It's because I wasn't talking trash Rock, I was talking truth. You left us hanging high and dry to play a fairy with a tooth?"
We all laugh.
"And...and then you walk into this ring, and tell these people that I'm lame man? He wore lipstick in Get Shorty and rocked a skirt for The Game Plan. This Fruity Pebble that you dealing with, I'm not your average jabroni." He says, then taking a purple pinwheel out of his pocket.
"I'm like a big purple pinwheel Rock, so go ahead and blow me." He continues, blowing the pinwheel.
"Oh my god." Aly cracks up.
"And you're electrifying yes, but hang with me that's just absurd. See now you got to tell your family that you just got schooled by Barney's turd. Oh no no no, wait wait wait wait. That's your material, you can have your joke back. Just don't go racing to Witch Mountain Rock, 'cause your mountain is Brokeback. Oh no no no no no, wait wait wait. The Rock's new movie, well it's nothing like Walking Tall. He spends the movie in a bowling alley polishing my balls."
"Pffft."
"The people's champ? He's never with the people, Rock your words are seethrough. You imitate me everytime you leave, for seven years we couldn't see you. And and and...and is it Rock or is it Dwayne? Pick a side, come on son. If I was you I'd stick with Rock, 'cause Dwayne ain't got a Johnson. And you'll see me at Wrestlemania, well then I'll make sure not to miss it. But you ain't gonna whip my candy ass, dude I make sure you kiss it. You're the Wrestlemania host Rock, that's your role...know it. You tell these people here that you love them, I'm here every week to show it."
"Niiiiice."
"That's called a first round knockout, and now you know that I'm not playing. Run your mouth all you want dude, it doesn't matter what you're saying." He finishes, putting the mic down and leaving the ring and heading back up the ramp and backstage.
"That was good." I laugh.
"He's still got the rapper in him, that was awesome." Aly adds and I nod in agreement.
Then the camera goes over to Cole and Josh, Cole announcing he's going to interview Jerry in and be professional about it. Then they show a picture of what Morrison did at Elimination Chamber last night, scaling the top of the dome of the chamber. After that they play the countdown of the 2/21/11 surprise, then a commercial. After coming back from the commercial they play the slam of the week, which was what Punk did to Morrison with the spray in his eyes. After that, Morrison comes limping out..clearly still in a great deal of pain.
"He's an idiot."
After he gets into the ring, Punk's music plays and he walks out. He too has all he can do to walk out, let alone kneel down on the stage like he always does. He too limps down the ramp like Morrison.
"He's an idiot too."
"Yup."
The match starts, and they move around like they're not hurt. But Punk kept going after the injured leg of Morrison. In the end of the match though, Punk wins with the GTS. The ref raises his hand and then he leans against the ropes, asking for a mic.
"Randall! Randall Keith Orton, where are you at?"
"Oh jeez, dude you are asking for it now."
"I'm right here! I'm standing right here in the middle of my ring. And I...have decided...to give my new Nexus the night off. I promise you, this is not a setup. People make decisions, that affect other people's lives day in and day out. These people decided today, to buy a ticket to see me!"
"Don't lie to yourself. Nobody really likes you."
"September 7th, 2008...Randall you decided to punt me in the skull. Rendering me unable to defend my World Heavyweight Championship. A few twists and turns aside, and that leads us to today. Right here right now. And you have the most important decision of your life to make. See the...the bright lights of Wrestlemania Randall, are not in your future. Just...walk...away. You don't deserve to be at Wrestlemania. And it's up to you to decide why. And it's either going to be because you're too crippled to compete, because I am going to finish what you started. Or...or Wrestlemania's not in your future because you actually care about your physical well being. 'Cause I'm gonna hurt you, if you show up to Monday Night Raw next week. So just...walk...away."
"Watch, Randy will pop up from nowhere and kick his ass."
"Just walk away, Randall. If you don't...if you show up next week to Monday Night Raw, I will turn you upside down. I will pour your heart out onto the mat." Punk finishes, looking to the side and the camera pans over to reveal Randy sliding in and he attacks him.
"Told you."
Punk avoids an RKO, sliding out of the ring, and crawling backwards up the ramp. Nexus comes running out to help.
"Well he lied...doesn't look like he let Nexus have the night off."
"He's a wuss."
Nexus tries to go after Randy but Punk holds them back. It becomes a staredown, until Randy's music plays and the screen fades to a commercial. We come back to the commercial to Ricardo being announced to introduce Del Rio.
"Why can't he go back to Smackdown? Seriously...no one wants him here."
"I know right?"
He pulls up in the usual new car, then makes his way to the ring. On his way to the ring, Kofi runs out and attacks him. Ricardo tries to get involved but that fails. But it turns bad for Kofi, as Del Rio brutally attacks him. Del Rio does walk away after the cross arm breaker, but runs back and shoves him into the ringpost. Mike motions for us to get up and follow him, because he's going to head out soon to say a few things to everyone. We all do so. Aly instantly laces her fingers with Mike's, earning a smile from him. We start heading in the direction of the curtain and as we're walking, the guy that Mike shoved last week takes one look at him and basically runs away. Aly and I both laugh. We wait at the curtain until the commercial break was over, and when it was the tech guy plays Mike's music and we walk out to the usual mix of boos and cheers. He raises up the title for the crowd to see, while Alex points at the Wrestlemania sign. Mike drops the title back onto his shoulder and his music fades, mic in hand. Aly and I both stand off towards the corner.
"Last week you people embarassed yourselves. I watched grown men jump up and down, weeping like little girls over another man. That man was the Rock. Now don't get me wrong...back in 1999 I remember sitting in my dad's livingroom, watching the Rock electrify. I watched him rip apart his opponents verbally. So you could imagine my excitement, when the Rock stood in the middle of the ring and said my name. I was wondering, 'Oh man, what classic line would the Rock say about me'. And then he said it. The Miz absolutely, unquestionably, undoubtedly 100% completely sucks."
Aly and I shake our heads.
"Really? Really, that's the best the Rock can do? One of the greatest talkers in the history of sports entertainment, and that is the best that I suck? I've heard kindergarteners say worse than that! Do you people all think I suck?" He asks and a majority of them cheer.
"Really? Really? Really? Well now I'm a little hurt. Let me...check my tears in the reflection of my championship gold!"
"You tell 'em." Aly laughs quietly.
"You see while the Rock is hosting Wrestlemania, I will be main eventing beating John Cena. And speaking of John Cena, John Cena and the Rock are different in a lot of ways...but they have one thing in common. They are both cultural icons, and you people love them for it. Well let me tell you something, I could care less of what you people think of me. You can sit there and chant that I suck, you can sit there and chante that the Miz is awful, I could care less. And let me take this one step further. It doesn't matter what you people think! Because I am the most must see WWE Champion in the history of this company! Now can you see that?"
"Yes." Aly and I say, nodding in agreement.
"Because I absolutely, unquestionalbly, undoubtedly, completely am aweeeesoooome!" He finishes, but the GM ding rings out through the arena.
"Oh no..."
Aly rolls her eyes and growls a little.
"Can I have your attention please. I have just recieved an email from the anonymous Raw general manager. And I quote. Enough about the Rock, I will deal with him when I'm ready. However, the Rock and Sock connection was a formattable tag team. So tonight, the WWE tag team titles will be defended against you Miz...and your partner tonight...John Cena."
"Oh boy."
"I have a feeling that may not end well."
"Yeah me too."
We head backstage, and I'm stopped before we could get to the room because I was told that I had to get ready for my tag team match with Natalya to go against Eve and Gail.
"You guys go ahead and go in the room." I say to Mike, Aly and Alex.
"I'm waiting for you." Alex shakes his head.
"I'll be fine going out there with just Natalya...you don't need to..."
"Alright. Just be careful." He sighs.
"I will. But I'm sure Natalya won't let anything happen to me, she's got my back."
He nods and kisses me.
"Before I forget, you should hold onto these while I'm out there..." I say, taking off the rings and handing them to him.
"Of course."
I go into the room with all of them, just to get my bag. Then I head out and down to the locker room to get changed. Natalya had met me in the locker room to change herself. During the commercial break, we all headed out to the ring. Natalya and I were standing in the ring looking over at Eve and Gail. I stare down Eve of course. They replay what happened between Eve and myself backstage, until the refs pulled us away from each other. Natalya and I agreed on having her go up against Gail. They instantly locked up with each other, and Natalya had Gail against the ropes. The ref backs her up and I interfere a little bit, Gail turning around to hit me but I jump down and out of the way. Natalya goes to run at Gail, but she sends her out of the ring and out onto the floor. She picks her up, but I go over and shove her away, heading for her myself. I go to do something, but Eve comes around and clotheslines me and stares at me as she backs away.
Gail goes over to Natalya and throws her back into the ring. After an elbow and a kick to the leg, Gail sends Natalya into the corner and runs towards her...and does a jumping clothesline on her. She runs again, but Natalya moves as she jumps onto the ropes. Gail jumps off and covers Natalya going for the pin but Natalya kicks out. Another elbow and another throw into the corner by Gail, followed by another run at Natalya. She gets outside the ropes after a special move and elbows her. When she goes to jump up onto the ropes, I've gained my strength back and pulled her down making her land outside onto the ground. Natalya goes out and picks her up, then repeatedly slams her head onto the side of the ring, before throwing her back in. She then stomps on her, then goes to jump and land on her, but Gail moves out of the way.
Natalya comes over and tags me in, and then Gail tags in Eve. I go right for her and she sends me right into the corner she came from. She elbows me in the face, and I stumble away against the ropes. Eve grabs my arm and throws me into the opposite side, and I come back only to be met by a dropkick by her. I quickly get up and try to hit her and miss, which causes her to come back from the ropes and does a cross body, going for the pin...then I kick out at 1. We both get up and when I turn around, Eve kicks me in the gut which sends me bending over holding it. Then she kicks me in the shoulder drops me to the mat. She turns around and sticks her hand in the air and then does the standing moonsault, going for the pin again. Natalya comes in to try to break up the pin, but Eve gets up and heads for Natalya...making her get out of the ring.
I took advantage of the distraction and kicked Eve's legs our from under her when she turned around. I start to pick up Eve, but I change my mind and cheap shot Gail. Eve goes for the rollup, as Gail gets into the ring, distracting the ref. Natalya comes in to get Eve off of me and when Eve gets up, she drops her to the mat with her arm. She quickly rolls out of the ring and I go for the cover...the ref counting to 3 giving Natalya and I the win. Back in the room Mike, Aly and Alex high five.
"Go Dolce!"
I smirk and stare at Eve, because so far for my fight for that title it's 1 and 0 right now. When we get to the top of the ramp, Natalya grabs my wrist and we raise up our hands and victory. We then head backstage as they show the countdown for 2/21/11. Natalya and I talk and whatnot about how I'm going after the Diva's Championship now, and that I'm now 1 and 0 against Eve. When we get outside the door to the room, we say bye to each other and then I walk in.
"Wooo, way to kick ass Dolce." Aly grins.
I smile triumphantly.
"Thank you...I am now 1 and 0 against her." I say, sitting down on the couch.
Alex laughs and kisses my cheek.
"Now, I don't think tonight can get any better."
"It's still possible, but who knows."
"I'm gonna need my rings back." I smile, looking at Alex.
He smiles and takes them out of his pocket, sliding them onto the right fingers.
After the commercial break, we're met with the countdown still going from earlier. It started on 25 seconds and as it was getting closer to zero, we could hear the crowd counting down with it. The promo video thing plays but it's no longer the promo video really. The door of the old building opens and Undertaker walks out. The lights are out by the ring and then his music plays. Amongst all the smoke on the stage, out walks Undertaker slowly down the ramp.
"Duh, that was obvious."
He stops midramp and a lightning bolt comes from the ceiling and lights up the stage with fire, as he continues his way back down the ramp and gets into the ring.
"Okay, now that was cool."
"Hell yeah."
As soon as he was in the ring, and rolled his eyes back after taking off his hat and rolling them back. But his music soon faded quickly and we hear the sound of Hunter's music.
"DUDE!"
"WHAT THE HELL!"
The crowd goes nuts, and then even more nuts as he emerges onto the stage with the usual bottle of water. He looks up and takes off the sunglasses and stares at Undertaker, while taking off the leather jacket he had on. Then he proceeded to walk down the ramp, still staring at Undertaker.
"Duuuude this is nuts."
He makes his way around the ring and standing outside the ropes. He does his usual ring entrance, then stares back at Undertaker before getting back into the ring. Him and Taker have a staredown and whatnot. After Hunter's music fades, he and Taker keep staring each other down. Hunter walks closer and gets int he face of him, still staring him down. Then he looks up at the Wrestlemania sign, Taker following his gaze.
"I'm almost insulted, Hunter didn't tell us."
"Maybe he wanted it to be a surprise, like for the whole WWE Universe."
"Still not cool." She laughs.
They then look back at each other where Undertaker scoffs, smiles and shakes his head. He puts his hat back on, still shaking his head and then walks away. But he stops with Hunter still staring at him, and then he suddenly turns and faces Hunter. Taker does his taunting move...dragging his thumb across the neck. Then Hunter proceeds to do his taunt, this is followed by them still staring at each other as the screen fades out.
"Niiiiice."
"I guess the night can get better."
"I guess so."
After the commercial break, they do another Wrestlemania promo, ending with the days left until it. They then replay the confrontation between Hunter and Undertaker. After that Sheamus' music plays and he walks out for his match.
"Keebler Elf."
"Mayo Man."
Then out comes Mark Henry, who doesn't look too happy. In the end Mark did win, beating Sheamus and getting revenge for what happened last week between them. After that, they showed the matchup for the tag team title match before going to another commercial. When we came back from the commercial, there was Daniel Bryan backstage with his girlfriend Gail Kim.
"Ewww."
"Eugh." Aly makes a disgusted face, hiding against Mike.
"You know what, seriously though...you did really good in your match tonight. Even though you did lose to Carly and Natalya..."
"Find something funny do you?" Sheamus asks angrily, walking up to Daniel.
"Hey hey hey, easy there...we weren't laughing at you."
"You know what I find funny? If I just ripped off your head in front of your girlfriend. That'd be hilarious wouldn't it?"
"What's your problem huh?"
Sheamus doesn't respond, instead walks away all frustrated and angry.
"Ooookay then." I say.
After that, we go back to Cole and Josh. They then show the first inductee into the Hall Of Fame. Then they show the latest inductee, Hacksaw Jim Duggan. As we go back to the ring, Cole is talking and getting into the ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen, to one hall of famer to another. Because in just a few moments I am going to interview Jerry 'The King' Lawler."
We roll our eyes.
"Now those of you who think that Jerry and I may fight, that's not gonna happen. Because the general manager has ruled, that if we touch one another we'll both be terminated. But what I'm going to do is be the bigger man here. Let bygones be bygones, because I am indeed an journalist. And despite what Jerry Lawler has said to me over the years, I'm going to conduct a professional interview because I am indeed the voice of the WWE. Beside Mr. McMahon in his early days, I'm better than Gordon Solie ever was. I'm better than Gorilla Monsoon. I'm surely better than Jim Ross, and I am indeed better than Jerry 'The King' Lawler."
"I don't think he's better than JR, but nice try."
"So ladies and gentlemen, many of you may not know this but I am indeed a former war correspondent and an award winning broadcast journalist. So up next I'm going to put those journalist skills...well onstage here tonight because I am going to interview Jerry Lawler. And all I can ask of you...is your attention please." He finishes and the screen fades.
"I don't think I'm give that my attention." Aly remarks.
After the commercial, we're back to Cole in the ring, where he introduces Jerry. He walks out and gets into the ring as Cole is clapping. We didn't really want to pay attention to this, so we ignored the tv for a while, that is until the stagehand came and knocked on the door, telling Mike that he had to get ready for his match which was coming up soon. Aly sighs a little as Mike pulls away to go change. As we wait we watch what unfold between Jerry and Cole. Cole is now at the announcer desk and Jerry calls him a coward. Cole takes off the headset and his suit jacket, followed by arguing with Jerry. Then he takes his cup from the table and throws water in Jerry's face. When Jerry went to go after Cole, he ran away scared.
"Niiiice."
"You know, I hope that Wrestlemania challenge Jerry issued to Cole actually happens...that would be something to see at Wrestlemania."
"True."
"I mean can you actually see Michael Cole in the ring...competing?"
"Not really."
Eventually Mike comes back, and then we all get up and follow him down the hall to the curtain. As we're walking, all of Corre goes out instead of just Slater and Gabriel. They get into the ring and wait for us to come out. Mike's music plays and we all walk out and down the ramp. We stop at the bottom of the ramp and wait, and then John's music plays. We stand ringside with Alex, while Mike is in the ring as John slides in and does his ring entrance.
"Mike looks kind of pissed." I say to Aly as we see Mike glare angrily at Gabriel.
"We head a run-in with Gabriel last night after you and Alex left us." She explains.
"Ah, wasn't too bad I hope."
"Well he basically said that Mike and I being married wasn't going to stop him from coming after me once the restraining order gets lifted."
"The nerve of him. Well at least tonight Mike gets to teach him a lesson."
"I know. He probably would have went after him last night if I hadn't been holding onto him."
"Right. Too bad this isn't a 6-man tag team match. Alex would love to go after Wade...even though he hasn't done anything or said anything recently to us."
"Yeah."
"But don't you have the very uncomfortable feeling right now? I know I do."
"I've been trying to ignore it."
The ref raises up the tag titles, and then John's music fades. Mike takes off his shirt and
hands it to Aly, before looking inbetween Corre and John. Gabriel decides to let Slater go first and Mike tells John to get out of the ring and to watch and learn. The bell rings and the match starts. Gabriel and Slater strategize, then Slater and Mike circle each other. Mike and him lock up, and Mike immediately picks Slater up and drops him to the mat. He keeps his arms around Slater's neck until he counters and grabs Mike's arm and twists it. Mike counters doing many small moves and flips Slater onto his back. Slater runs at Mike and he does the same thing, but holding onto the arm. Slater tries to counter, but Mike twists his arm back behind his back. Slater elbows Mike in the side of the head, then goes against the ropes only to be met by Mike knocking him down. Mike kicks him and goes for the pin, but no good since Slater kicked out.
Mike grabs Slater but is distracted by the ref saying something about the hair and Slater counters. He hit Mike one last time, before going and tagging in Gabriel. Mike sees and immediately trips him, making his face slam to the mat. He kicks then punches him, then punches him again as he looks over at John briefly. Mike picks Gabriel up and goes over to John, holding his hand out for John to tag as they stare. John tags in and he goes after Gabriel now. He throws him into the corner and then into the opposite one...running full speed and then grabbing his head and slamming him to the mat. He goes for the pin, but Gabriel kicks out. John throws Gabriel into the ropes and when he comes back he kicks him in the shoulder. But John retaliates by punching him. He picks him up and then flips him over onto the mat. John looks at Mike, and Mike holds out his hand for the tag...taunting him.
John tags Mike in and he immediately starts going after Gabriel. He throws him into the corner and executes the running corner clothesline, Aly's favorite move. Gabriel stumbles forward on his stomach. Mike looks at John and then gets behind Gabriel and as soon as he gets up, gets him in position for the Skull Crushing Finale and does it. He goes for the pin and stares at Slater who backs away from stopping the pin. The ref counts to 3, Mike and John are the new tag team champions.
"Oh my god." Aly and I stare in disbelief.
John can't believe it himself, and he gets the other title and gets into the ring..posing on the turnbuckle like Mike is. The celebration soon ends when Wade decides to open his big mouth.
"Hold it right there!"
"Effing jerk." Aly growls and I glower at him.
"Hold everything. The Corre have decided, that we want to invoke our rematch clause for the WWE Tag Team titles. And once more, we want to invoke them right now!"
"JERK!"
Then the GM dings in, and Josh goes up to read the email.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the anonymous Raw general manager says...ring the bell!"
The bell rings again and the ref takes away the tag team titles from John and Mike.
"That feeling is back." Aly mumbles to me.
"Wade and his big mouth...ruins everything..."
"Yeah...stupid jerk."
We did go to another commercial, during that time Mike had control over the match against Gabriel. When we came back he still did. Gabriel gets up, but Mike sends him crashing down once more. He keeps twisting the arm of Gabriel, even when he gets up. Mike goes over and tags in John, but Gabriel scurries away quickly and tags in Slater. The crowd chants for John ash he and Slater go against each other. Slater has control of the match until John was sent against the ropes. John did a cross body and picked Slater up, going over to Mike and tagging him in. Mike kicks him as John holds Slater there, then John slaps him across the chest before exiting the ring. Mike does it as well, then tries to send Slater to the ropes but gets it countered and he goes instead. Mike comes back and kicks Slater in the shoulder. The ref is distracted and Ezekiel gets involved by grabbing Mike's feet and tripping him.
"HEY!" Aly yells.
Alex jumps up trying to tell the ref what happened, getting him distracted so Slater just wails on Mike as much as he can. Then he runs and kicks Mike out of the ring, bu the rest of Corre. Alex tries to go and help but Ezekiel and Wade block his way, staring him down as Mike rolls about on the floor behind them. The ref is still distracted and Gabriel takes this chance to go and kick Mike in the face, then repeatedly punching him as the ref is distracted still. The ref turns around and Slater tags in Gabriel...this giving Gabriel the free reign to do what he wants to Mike. He jumps and makes his fits land on his back. He rolls him into the ring and goes for the cover, Mike kicking out. Gabriel punches Mike, but Mike gets up instantly and retaliates with a kick to the gut..followed by a punch. He goes to punch him again but Gabriel counters and goes for the pin again...which leads to Mike kicking out. The match was long and grueling, Slater and Gabriel not giving Mike a chance to tag in John. Mike got the tag to John and he was all fired up, taking down Slater.
John did 'you can't see me' and then the five knuckle shuffle. He got Slater up on his shoulders for the AA, but Mike got up from laying on the mat and got behind John, delivering a Skull Crushing Finale to John and Slater. He quickly rolls out of the ring, grabs the title and dashes away with Alex as Slater gets the pin...regaining the titles for him and Gabriel.
"And there's the cause of the bad feeling." Aly sighs.
I shake my head.
"Let's go..."
She nods and follows me. We get up to Mike and Alex just as Mike drops the title onto his shoulder, and then we all walk backstage.
"Okay Lyssa, that's not what it looked like out there."
She raises her eyebrow and he starts to ramble. She motions for Alex and I to head back to
the room. I nod, but we head in the direction of the locker room so that I can change out of my ring gear.
"Okay Mike, you're rambling. Slow down."
He keeps going and she sighs. She reaches up and pulls him into a kiss, cutting him off in midsentence. She pulls away after a while and stares at him, as he finally opens his eyes.
"Now, calmly tell me what that was out there."
"Actually...you know what, it doesn't really matter. I'm not mad, just...annoyed I guess. I get that this is going to happen more now that you two have a match for Wrestlemania so there's no real point in me being mad. I'm not happy with it...but I get it." She adds before he can say anything.
"I guess all I can say is sorry then..." He comments.
"It's okay." She gives him a small smile.
"Now go get changed."
He nods and they head in the direction of the locker room so he can change. She waits for him outside the locker room, fiddling with her rings and ignoring her surroundings. He eventually comes out, bag in hand and then wraps an arm around her shoulders. She slides hers around his waist and they walk, leaning into him. When they get back to the room, Alex and I are already back and waiting outside the room with our things as well.
"We're ready to go when you are."
"We're ready."
"Alright." I say, and we all head out to the car and head back to the hotel.
