We're all at Aly's place getting ready, since we're in Chicago for Raw tonight. As she's getting ready, her phone goes off.
"Hello?" She asks, holding her phone against her ear with her shoulder as she continues to get ready.
"Alyssa, it's so great to hear your voice. Haven't talked to you in forever." She hears her mom's voice on the other line.
"Hi Mom. I know it's been a while, it's just we've been so busy." She smiles.
"Well I have good news for you."
"Okay..."
"We're going to be at the show tonight."
"Oh! That's awesome."
"Can't wait to see you tonight."
"I can't wait to see you guys either. Well listen I have to let you go, I have to finish getting ready because we're leaving soon."
"Alright, well tell Mike I say hi."
"I will. Bye, love you."
"Love you too."
She hangs up the phone and sets it aside. After she finishes getting ready, she walks out of the bathroom to grab her jacket.
"Mom says hi."
"What did she call for?"
"They're coming to the show tonight."
"No way really?"
"Really."
"It's too bad you're not competeing tonight, they would've probably loved to see."
"Actually I have a dark match."
"Oh you do? Okay then, they'll see you compete afterall."
"Yup." She giggles.
"But speaking of the show tonight, try to be careful when we're out there in the ring with the Rock." She adds.
"I'll try."
"And you try to relax, since John's gonna be in the ring with all of us." He adds.
"I'll try my best not to punch him."
"As long as you try. Ready to go?" He asks, putting on his jacket.
"One last thing." She steps up close to him and smiles.
He raises an eyebrow and looks at her curiously, then she reaches up and kisses him.
"I love you." She says after pulling away.
"Love you too." He smiles.
"Now we can go."
He nods and she grabs her bag before heading out and down to the car. In the meantime, I'm finishing up getting ready and I hear my phone ring.
"Can you get that? I'm a little busy right now."
"Yup." Alex says, grabbing my phone.
"Hello?"
"Alex, how's my soon to be son-in-law?" He hears my mom's voice on the other line.
"Hi Amy, I'm good. How are you?"
"I'm great, thanks for asking. Can you do something for me? Can you put Carly on the phone please?"
"Hold on just a sec."
Alex taps on the bathroom door.
"Babe, your mom wants to talk to you."
I stop what I'm doing for a second to grab the phone and put it to my ear.
"Hey mom."
"Hi sweetheart."
"Haven't talked to you in forever, what's up?" I ask.
"I have a surprise for you."
"Ooooh, what is it?"
"We're coming to the show tonight."
"You are? That's great! You'll be able to see me compete tonight, me and Aly."
"We will? Good!"
"Yeah, not until after the show's over but you'll still see us."
"Well at least we'll get to see you."
"I know, I can't wait to see you though."
"We can't wait to see you either. I'll let you go, I'm sure you have to go soon. We love you."
"I love you too."
We both hang up. I finish what I was doing and come out of the bathroom.
"My parents are coming to the show tonight."
"Really? That's great."
"Yup, which means Aly's parents will most likely be coming too."
"That's going to be nice, you guys will get to see your family."
"Hey, you and Mike are part of our families too...so you'll get to see them as well."
"Right right."
"Anyway, ready to go?"
"Yeah." He nods, giving me a quick kiss.
Then we grab our jackets and put them on, on the way out. And we reach the car and get in, heading to the arena. We get there and go inside, walking to our room as usual.
"So, guess what? My parents are gonna be in the crowd tonight." Aly says to me.
"Mine too." I reply.
"Yay, this is going to be cool."
"I know. You know they're gonna wanna talk to us after our match after the show." I laugh.
"Of course."
After a while of waiting, the show finally started...playing the usual WWE intro. But now Raw intro, instead the cameras went right to the ring where Punk was sitting in the middle of, with the lights dimmed and a spotlight on him.
"Oh great."
"And of course everyone is cheering for him since he's from here."
"Ugh, don't remind me."
"I'm gonna miss this. See I have my severe doubts that when I descend upon Atlanta...at Wrestlemania, that the fans in Atlanta are gonna...warmly receive me like my people here in Chicago."
"Not just yours jerk."
"And you all are my people. Just like the members of the new Nexus were my people, and I watched Randall Keith Orton take them out one by one."
"Because they deserved it." I say.
"Well here's the one big, glaring difference between Randall and myself. He lives in a fantasy world and I fancy myself a realist. Because the truth boiled down to it's essence is this...whether you're a member of the new Nexus, or you just happen to live in the town that I was born and raised in...I really don't care what happens to you."
"Right back at you."
"You got punted in the head...it's not my problem. My problem is Randall Keith Orton."
Everyone starts chanting that Punk sucks, and start chanting Randy's name.
"If I want somebody to go fetch me a coffee or if I want somebody to watch my back, all I have to do is snap my fingers and I can get any number of mindless little sheep to do whatever I want!"
"Oh, shut up."
He then immediately stands up.
"So now for weeks this monumentous, psychological advantage that the Viper has built up, turns out to be nothing more than...a false sense of security. Last week, Randall slipped up. He told the world, oh he told the WWE Universe that he likes to travel around on his big, fancy superstar bus. You know what? Let's just take you back to last week. Let's take you to that glorious parking lot. I want to share with you once again this beautiful, hallmark moment."
We roll our eyes. They play the footage of course, then return to Punk still in the ring.
"I know Randall Keith Orton cares about his wife, and I take tremendoush satisfaction in knowing that when she goes to sleep at night now, she closes her eyes and she finally sees him for what he truely is. She finally sees him on the cold concrete, helpless with me standing over him. Randall never, ever should've punted me in the head two years ago. It cost me a championship and now, I have cost Randall Keith Orton the respect of his family!"
"Psh whatever. Just because you beat him up doesn't mean he's going to lose their respect. You're retarded."
"And all this hatred...all this hatred that I have inside has just been keeping me warm. And Randy...his family...will never look at him the same ever again. And I am just getting started! I close this sick and twisted chapter...at Wrestlemania." He ends, dropping the mic and proceeding to get out of the ring.
That's when Randy's music played and he walked out, his right knee heavily taped up, but he is totally pissed off.
"I told you he was going to be pissed."
He limps his way slowly down the ramp, staring down Punk. When he gets closer to the end of the ramp, he speeds up a bit, then climbs up into the ring and Punk immediately starts attacking him. But Randy gains control and uppercuts him, knocking him out of the ring, outside the ropes. Then he gets Punk on the ropes and drops backwards, slamming Punks' head into the mat. That's when he drops to his knees and gets into 'Viper' mode.
"Oh boy."
He then starts to calm down as he sees the spot that Punk's in. He slowly gets up, walking over to Punk before backing up into the corner.
"As much as I want him to do it, I don't think he'll be able to."
"I don't think so either."
Randy then moves forward going for the punt, but his knee gives out on him and Punk rolls out of the ring. Randys sitting in the corner as Punk turns around with an evil smile on his face, and the crowd starts chanting his name instead of booing him. Randy manages to pull himself up as Punk slides into the ring. Randy is basically hopping on one leg, and in the end Randy gets more beaten up and given the GTS before his music plays and he gets out of the ring.
"I hope Randy kicks his ass."
The screen changes to a couple things that are gonna happen tonight. First they show that there will be a confrontation between Hunter and the Undertaker, then they show the confrontation betweem John, the Rock, and Mike that will take place later tonight. Before we go to a commercial break we see Christian walking backstage and he knocks on a door, where Edge walks out of. We see that they'll be tag teaming up next.
"We've been invaded by Smackdown."
"But Christian's cool, now he I don't mind being here."
"Right."
"Most likely it's gonna be Del Rio and Brodus Clay as their opponents...blehhh."
"Not really worth paying attention to."
"Not really."
So after the commercial break, the match happened and we of course didn't pay any attention to it. In the end Edge and Christian won, and that resulted in Del Rio taking out his anger on Christian with the cross arm bar. Then we see the matchup for Wrestlemania for Trish, Morrison and Snooki vs LayCool and Dolph Ziggler with Vickie. The screen changes to a bar, and we see amongst the people, Trish and Snooki.
"Bar brawl."
"Oh yeah, that'll definitely happen...with LayCool. Because you know they're gonna show up."
"Too predictable."
We go to another commercial, and Mike motions for Alex to follow him out of the room. We exchange looks and follow them curiously. The show has came back on, and the cameras have caught Mike and Alex by the WWE logo backstage, with Alex having just flipped it upside down so it's an 'M'. Mike takes out his phone and takes a picture of it, smiling and show it to Alex who says it's 'perfect'.
"Niiice."
"Necessary to flip that logo as well?"
"Yes." Mike nods.
As we're all standing around, we're watching the tv screen that's near us as the camera is back to ringside. That's when we hear the GM ding after a bit of talking from Josh and Jerry.
"Hmph, wonder what the GM's gonna do this time."
"Hey King...don't bother. I've got this. Can I have your attention please? I've just receieved an email from he anonymous Raw general manager...on my iPad."
"Well don't you feel special."
"Ass."
"And I quote. After last weeks' brutal beatdown at the hands of Michael Cole, I need to know if Jerry Lawler is truely ready for Wrestlemania. Therefore tonight, Jerry 'The King' Lawler will go one on one, with the all american american Jack Swagger. How do you like that Lawler?"
"That's stupid."
"Well the GM is stupid."
"True that."
The screen changes and we see the matchup between Hunter and Taker at Wrestlemania, and followed by that it's a little promo thing for it. After that they show the schedule of events all week in Atlanta leading up to Wrestlemania. During that, we see Corre walk by on the way to the ring.
"Ugh." Aly makes a face and presses against Mike.
"You know what's even worse now? Once that restraining order is lifted...Wade's gonna try twice as hard to get me since he has a title now." I comment and Alex growls.
"And you know that it will get lifted, since he's been on good behavior."
"Yeah..."
"So not looking forward to that..."
"Me neither."
By the time everything was done, Corre was in the ring and Gabriel was introduced. Then Big Show's music played mixed with Kane's and they walked out together. Followed by them after they got to the bottom of the ramp was Santino with Tamina and Kozlov.
"This oughta be good."
In fact it was, Santino went against Gabriel one on one with Kane, Show, Tamina and Kozlov ringside for him. And ringside for Gabriel was Corre. At one point Slater tried to get involved but backed off when Santino went to give him the Cobra. That's when Kane came around and hit him so hard he fell down to the ground.
"Haha."
Then while the ref was distracted, Kozlov tripped Gabriel and acted like nothing happened. Wade tried to get involved, but Big Show got him with a boot to the face.
"Serves you right."
Alex snickers.
Santino wins with the Cobra and celebrates like he always does. Big show laughs and gets into the ring, and he too does the victory move that Santino does. Kane gets into the ring and doesn't look amused at first, but he too ends up doing the victory move himself.
"Oh my god haha."
After their little celebration, some videogame footage from the new WWE All Stars game is show, then we see that Hunter is walking backstage, heading for the ring to address the Undertaker soon.
"This should be good."
"Yup."
After the commercial break and finding out another guest at Wrestlemania, the cameras go to the ring, and after a few moments the Undertaker's music plays and he walks out, with the usual fog around him, and makes his way slowly down the ramp. He makes his way to the ring, the lights going back on, and as he gets into the ring and looks around his music is interrupted by Hunter's, followed by him walking out. Then once he gets to the ring, standing on the side of it...his music stops and Undertaker's plays and the lights go out for quite some time.
"Ooookay."
When the lights come back up, Hunter is in the ring and he's staring down the Undertaker. That's interrupted by the sudden sound of Shawn's music playing.
"Heyyyy!"
"Nice!"
Of course he comes out dancing like his dorky self, and the pyros go off for him before he makes his way down to the ring. Hunter's just looking at him like 'what the hell are you doing', and turns his attention back to Taker. He dances his way over to grab a mic while Taker and Hunter still stare each other down, and when his music fades the whole arena chants 'HBK'.
"Another one who doesn't tell us when he's going to be on Raw." I laugh.
"Yeah, what gives?"
"I am really sorry, about interrupting. But boys I got to tell you, that there was absolutely no way I was gonna miss this. This Sunday Wrestlemania 27, the biggest match of your careers. On one side you've got the Undertaker. The Phenom, the Deadman, the last Outlaw and as much as it pains me to say it...the greatest streak of all time."
"The 18-0 undefeated Wrestlemania streak. But on the other side you got the Game, Triple H. The cerebral assassin, the king of kings, the 13 time world champion and perhaps his greatest asset...he's my best friend."
"Aww."
"But you now something, after this Sunday I guarantee you neither one of you will ever be the same again. Wrestlemania 27, no holds barred. And with that...I've just got one question. What in the world makes you think...that you could do what I couldn't?" Shawn asks, turning to Hunter.
"Oh boy haha."
"You want to know the truth? Truth is you got soft. The truth is somewhere along the way you decided it was more important to be the Showstopper and Mr. Wrestlemania, which you are. But you realized a long time ago Shawn, you don't have to win every night to be those things. I'm not Shawn Michaels, not even close. I have to win, and I will win." Hunter replies, turning to face Taker after.
"Hm.."
"16 years ago, I walked into that locker room for the first time. It was filled with legends, future icons of this business. You know what I saw? I saw one guy that stood head and shoulders above everybody else. One guy that I could clearly see was the glue that held this all together. I watched that guy do things that no human being should be able to do. I watched him ductape a flak jacket to himself because he'd broken every rib and was still gonna go to the ring that night. I watched him wrestle with broken bones, torn ligaments, I watched him crush one entire side of his face, and wrestle the next night."
"Nuts."
"I learned real quick that that's what this business is about. He didn't do just because he was told to, or because he had to, because that's who he was. I learned that if I should pattern myself after anybody in this business, it should be that guy. That he represented everything that the WWE was, and should be. That guy was you Deadman. I learned to respect you more and more every single day."
We all nod in agreement.
"And there's only one guy in this entire business that I respect more...as much as you. And that's him..." Hunter trails off, pointing to Shawn.
"Five or six years ago Shawn and I were driving down the road, and we made a pact with each other. That if one of us ever got to the point to where we could no longer perform at the standard that we had set for ourselves, then the other guy would look that guy in the eye, and tell him it's time. And if the guy couldn't accept it, we'd end it for him."
"Somehow that doesn't surprise me."
"That's how much we respect each other. I came back after a year off for one thing. I came back and stood in this ring for one reason only. And that is to stand here, out of respect to look you dead in your eyes and tell you it's time. Now that might not be a popular decision, a lot of people probably can't see that. YOU probably can't see that, but I can see that. Here's the thing, you will always be a legend. You will always be an icon, you will always be the Phenom, you will always be the Deadman. And I will always respect you more than any other. But in six days you will no longer be undefeated at Wrestlemania."
"Confident isn't he?" I remark.
"Because whether I want it to be or not, I am the one, as in 18 and 1. At Wrestlemania 27 Deadman, you...and your streak...with all due respect, and well deservedly will rest in peace."
"If I ever got to the time, where I felt someone should put me down, I'd want that person to be you. That's the respect that I have for you. But it ain't that time. And I know that you're gonna kill yourself trying. But in the end, the streak will still be alive, and so will I." Undertaker says, after taking the mic away.
"Ooh that match is gonna be brutal."
"And if you don't want to take my word for it, ask him." He says, pointing to Shawn.
"You see Shawn walks around everyday of his life as the man who gave me the two greatest Wrestlemania matches of my career. And he came that close, yet he still didn't get it done. And now when I look in the eyes of Shawn Michaels, I don't see the same confidence, I don't see the same arrogance. What I see is a man that I humbled. What I see is a man who will soon go into the Hall Of Fame full of regrets. What I see is a man who's career...I ended."
"That's kind of harsh but yet kind of true." Aly says to me and I nod.
Shawn goes to superkick Taker, but he catches his foot and gets him set up for a chokeslam. That's when Hunter breaks them apart and gets in the face of the Undertaker as Shawn is leaning in the corner.
"Shawn...tell him why I'm gonna beat him at Wrestlemania." Hunter demands, but Shawn doesn't say a word and looks semi-upset.
"Shawn..."
He still doesn't say a word and they both turn to look at him. Shawn looks at the both of them before getting out of the ring and walking away.
"Wow."
Hunter tells Shawn to look at him, and he does but he says sorry and walks back up the ramp, turning his back on Hunter.
"Aww."
Then Undertaker's music plays, and he leaves the ring too, heading back up the ramp. One last glance at each other and he heads backstage. Then once again before the commercial break they show the confrontation that will go down between Mike, John and Rock.
"It's going to be interesting for sure."
"Oh yeah."
After the commercial, we see that Cole and Swagger are running around in a circle in the ring to Swagger's music. Then once the music faded, Jerry's played and he walked out and gets into the ring. The match did end a while later by DQ on Jerry's part, because he took a steel chair and repeatedly hit Swagger in the back with it. That's when Jerry turned his attention to Cole and started walking over to his little box.
"Get him Jerry!"
"Do itttt."
The security stop him and tell him to put the chair down and walk away. He listens and walks away, but turns back around and starts hitting the box with the chair, then dropping it and proceeding to climb the box to get at Cole. Cole backs away like a scaredy cat, and security tries to handle the situation.
"Hah."
But in the end Cole takes his cup of soda and throws it in Jerry's face, making him let go of the box and security get him away from Cole...and he starts yelling at Jerry.
"Stupid Cole."
And yet again we go to another commercial, after we had just come back from one. When we do come back they replay the match between Ziggler, Morrison, Trish, and LayCool from last week. That could only mean one thing...a match involving them or well some of them. When the replay ends we see Vickie walking out to no music and the crowd boos her.
"Ugh."
"Get her off the screen..."
She stops on the ramp halfway, before taking out a pair of sunglasses which turn out to be the kind that Morrison wears for his entrance. Then Morrison's music hits and she imitates his entrance with the hand movements and the pyros.
"Oh...my...god..."
"You too the words right out of my mouth."
She gets down to the ring, getting in and grabbing the mic.
"Excuse me! Snooki, I hope you're watching because what I did to Morrison, is what LayCool is going to do to you! And after the match at Wrestlemania, you will find yourself in a very familiar place. Passed out and unconcious." She says, then laughs evilly like she always does before Dolph's music hits.
"Witch much?"
"Not at all." Aly says sarcastically.
Next to come out was Sheamus, followed by Daniel Bryan and lastly Morrison.
"Weirdo, Whitey, Brat and Monkey Boy. This isn't worth watching at all."
"Nope." She sighs.
We decide that since we're still backstage, to just sit down and relax and just wait until it's time for all of us to go out. The match ends eventually and in the end Sheamus and Dolph won...of course. Then they replay what happened between Punk and Randy earlier tonight, and that's followed by Randy being shown resting his knee backstage with a bag of ice on it and his face twitching in anger.
"I wouldn't bother him, he looks ready to rip somebody's head off."
"Randy if I could for just a minute, will you now make it to Wrestlemania?"
"You may not know this about me, but I have serious...anger management issues."
"I think everyone knows that."
"That's not new."
"I have ruined the careers of men...who I barely knew. Simply because I could. Now keep that in mind when I tell you that I have never ever in my life despised a human being, more than CM Punk. So your question shouldn't be will I make it to Wrestlemania. Your question should be, will CM Punk...make it out."
"Both are good questions."
Again we see the confrontation that's going to happen between Mike, John and Rock before
going to a commercial. After that commercial we find out the final inductee to the Hall Of Fame, and it was the Road Warriors. Once that was over, we're back to Snooki and Trish in the bar as Josh is trying to ask them questions...but someone comes up and interrupts them. Trish tells the guy to go stand away from them while they get the inteview done.
"Fail."
"So Snooki, how's your training with Trish going?"
"Trish Stratus, she trains me so good, I'm ready to go to Wrestlemania. I have sick moves
and I am ready to bring on LayCool and Vickie. So bring it on..." She says, and the last word is bleeped out.
Josh then tries to ask another question but Danny interrupts again. Trish tries to get him to go away, but Snookie steps in and slaps him and then pushes him, and he gets taken out of the bar.
"Pfft."
Then they start talking over themselves and Josh thanks them, but then is told that LayCool is at the bar that Snooki and Trish are. The screen goes back to the bar and of course there they are standing behind them, trying to get their attention. They finally do and when they turn around, Snooki throws her drink at Layla and a bar brawl breaks out between them.
"Told you."
"So predictable."
"Yup." Aly nods, leaning into Mike and sliding her arms aorund his waist.
After the whole bar scene was over, we see that up next is the confrontation between Mike, John and Rock.
"This should be interesting."
"Yeah."
After the commercial break, we see Rock by the curtain waiting for them to hit his music so he can go out. Eventually they do and he goes right out and down the ramp, getting into the ring and making his entrance last forever. He walks over and grabs a mic and his musc fades...the crowd chanting 'Rocky'. He takes forever to talk but he finally does.
"Finally...the Rock has come back to Chicago! Back to the city where it all started for the Rock. You see Chicago, is a very special place to the Rock. The Rock competed in his very first Wrestlemania, right here in this very building! But see the Rock, he never admitted this but that night, the Rock was nervous. The Rock was nervous, but he did something that defined the rest of his life. That night, this arena, first Wrestlemania, the Rock decided to bring it. And on that night was the unofficial birth of Team Bring It. You see the Rock brings it, the Rock's fans bring it, we're all on Team Bring It."
"Not us."
"Nope. Team Awesome, sorry."
"That's right." Mike states, proudly.
We laugh.
"Team Bring It, isn't just some slogan. No, Team Bring It, is a way of life. With Team Bring It, you knock down doors, you kick down walls! And anyone who tells you, you can't...you take your fears, your insecurites, your worries, you roll them all up into a ball, you turn those sons of bitches sideways and stick it straight up their candy ass!"
"When you're on Team Bring It, you go after your dreams. And recently the Rock has had a
dream of his own. And that dream, was that he came down in the middle of this ring, in front of all of you and he called out John Cena."
"You can call him out all you want. Mike actually did something and totally owned him for weeks." Aly scoffs.
"The Rock calls out John Cena, his wannabe rap music hits, he saunters down that ramp in his bright rainbow shirts. Coming out here looking like a homeless power ranger. John Cena gets in the ring, and he says 'you can't see me'. And the Rock says 'Oh yeah? You wanna see something with your eyes, well how about you see this'? The Rock's fist to his lips and his boot right to his ass! But then the Rock woke up, dream is over. This is reality. John Cena, the reality is this...the Rock is HERE! The great one is here! And the Rock ain't alone, the Rock is never alone. And the Rock means never alone. The Rock is with the millions..." He trails off and the crowd finishes.
"...of the Rock's fans. And to put it in words you can understand John Cena...the People's Champ is here!"
After a few cheers, John's music hits and he walks out just all smiles.
"Ugh."
He runs down and slides into the ring as usual, and does his normal ring entrance stuff. His music fades and he picks the mic back up that he placed on the mat.
"This is what I wanted. Rock, this is what I wanted. The Rock is finally back in the WWE ring! Ohhh, and not just back...man...the Rock is cooking like he never missed a snap. Smackdown this...jabroni that...if you smell this, Rock this is where you belong. And..."
We roll our eyes.
"Do you hear...the people? Do you hear these people? Do you hear the millions chanting your name? Rock, years ago when I opened my mouth about you, I was one of the millions. I didn't know why...you left. And I wanted you back for moments like this! Moments when there's not an empty seat in the house, because the power you have over people is undeniable, and if you don't believe me look. If you dont...if you don't believe me...listen. If you don't believe me, feel...the electricity, the excitement that can only be brought by only one man, and that man is you Rock."
"Psh."
"I'm glad you came back, and man when you came back you were smokin'! You even mentioned my name. It was like an honor, like a celebrity roast, like when the Rock makes fun of you...you're in. But I...I wanted to listen to what you had to say. And, in the weeks following your presentations via satellite, I wanted to listen to what you had to say, because everything I said about you Rock, everything had both meaning and merit. But I wanted to know...I wanted to know..." He's cut off by 'Cena sucks' chants.
Mike and Alex snicker, Aly and I just look amused.
"I'll get to that in a second, but I wanted to know...what problem the Rock had with me. So...so what I did was, I cut through the catchphrases, I overlooked the jokes we've all come to know and love, to find out what problem the Rock had with me. There were lots of them...there were lots of them. My color...was wrong. You were offended by the way that I talked, because I wasn't raised in a certain place. The type of music I listened to offended you. Oh this one's a great one, Hustle, Loyalty and Respect...hot garbage as you said?"
"Hah" Mike smirks.
"So apparently, the Rock had a problem with my moral code and here is the kicker, this one surprised even me. My audience is kids. It is Rock, and I'm damn proud of it. I'm damn proud of who I am, and I'm damn proud of what I've become! Now if you have a legitimate gripe about me not working my tail to the bone to further this business, then we've got something to talk about! If not my friend, who in the hell are you? Who in the hell are you to judge me? Who in the hell are you to say I can or can't wear a certain color, talk a certain way, listen to a certain kind of music, chastise the way I live my life or god forbid the age of the people that watch this product that I love?"
"Hmph."
"If that's what it takes to be on Team Bring It Rock, you can keep your application I don't want it. You see, every single week, I walk down this ramp as myself. And there are some people that like it, and as you heard tonight there are some people that don't. You know what I don't do? I don't try to change their mind, because I am in no position to judge anyone. When this is all said and done, oh I'm gonna be judged, but I got news for you Great One...I ain't gonna be judged by you."
"Oh yeah...John Cena you're right. The Rock ain't gonna judge you. There's only one man who judges you. The same one who judges the Rock, that's the good lord himself. But you damn sure better realize...that the good lord can't save you from the Rock whoopin' your monkey ass all over Chicago!"
We sigh and roll our eyes again. John stands there not amused.
"You wanted me to address you like a man. I have said everything I needed to say to your face, like a man. You wanna fight..." John trails off, dropping the mic holding his arms out.
That's when Mike motions for us to head out, and once we get to the curtain they play his music and we all walk out. Aly and I both search the crowd and find our families, smiling at them. After stopping at the top of the ramp, we make our way down it and get into the ring after Mike and Alex. On the way into the ring though, Mike had grabbed the mic sitting on the stairs. Aly stays close to Mike and I stay close to Alex, because of John. When Alex gets a look at John, his facial expression changes. I put my hand on his arm, trying to calm him.
"Really? Really? Really? This is how it's going to be? Being upstaged by the 'O' brothers? Overhyped...and overrated? Cena in case you forgot, despite your little surprise last week, this past month I've owned you."
"John Cena is going to lose at Wrestlemania. But at least, at least he'll go down swinging. John Cena will come for a fight! Unlike you...Great One. See Rocky...Rocky, I know something that nobody else knows. I know a secret. You are not going to do a thing tonight. Nothing. I've done my research. Your movies have grossed over 1.2 billion dollars. Now, one of the biggest movie stars in the world is not going to risk getting beaten up and embarrassed by me."
We both tilt our heads in acknowledgement. We keep an eye on Alex though, making sure he doesn't snap and go after John.
We then see that John has gotten out of the ring so that it can be just Mike and Rock confronting each other.
"Ahem, because it's not a risk. It's a guaran-damn-tee, that if you even look at me funny, I will beat you so bad...that you won't even be able to go into Hollywood or step foot anywhere else. I am the WWE Champion! And I STILL will be champion after Wrestlemania. So go ahead Rock, run your mouth all you want, run your mouth like only the Rock can! Because in the end, I don't think you'll actully do anything. And you know why? Because I'm the Miz...and I'm...awesome."
Aly smiles a little.
"Miz, you should know by now...it doesn't matter what you think." Rock says, stepping closer and getting into Mike's face.
Alex tells me to get Aly and back away, because things could get ugly pretty fast. I go over to her and repeat the message. She nods and we both duck out of the ring, just in case. After watching them face to face for a few moments, and Alex getting angry...suddenly Alex hits Rock and then he and Mike both start ganging up on him.
"I had a feeling that was coming."
They had him for a good amount of time before Rock came back and kicked Mike out of the way, then went after Alex. After one final hit, Alex is fipped over the ropes and lands outside of the ring. This left Mike getting beat up by Rock in the ring. Resulting in a Rock DDT, followed by the People's Elbow, then Mike was thrown out of the ring. Immediately both of us are over by them, helping them up. We head backstage with them, after grabbing the title and see Rock get AA'd by John due to the distraction of Mike. We shake our heads. We get back to the room, so that we could grab our bags to get ready for our match once the show was over. But first we make sure Mike and Alex are okay. They assure us they're okay and we head off to get changed. Once changed we head back to the room, and ask if they're coming out with us. They exchange looks and nod.
They get up and walk out of the room, then we head to the curtain. Once our music hits, they walk out with us. After walking down the ramp and getting to the ring, we see our families, and take a bit of time to walk over to them. We talk with them until our opponents come out. Aly and I kiss Alex and Mike before going to get in the ring, leaving the two of them with our familes. Throughout the match, Mike and Alex would be talking to our families while also paying attention to the match. In the end we won, and then rolled out of the ring, back over to our familes and the guys. We get hugs and praise from our families before Mike and Alex put their arms around us. We say that we'll talk to them later, because we have to go back and change, then head home for the night. We say goodbye to them and everything and then go backstage to the locker room.
After changing, we head right out to the car to head back to Aly's place, since she and I were the only ones who had our things with us. We pile into the car and drive back to Aly's place. Once we get back, we walk in and head right to our bedrooms since it was a long night. We say our goodnights to each other before heading to our rooms.
