Tonight is the draft, and we're all hoping that none of us end up getting drafted to Smackdown. We've all gotten ready and are now on our way to the arena. When we get there, Aly and I head to the room while the guys go to the locker room to change.
"I hope this doesn't go bad." Aly sighs.
"I know. Everytime the draft screen comes up when it's cycling through everyone's picture, I'll be sitting here a nervous wreck."
"Me too."
"It's so going to be a long night."
"Yeah, that's for sure."
The guys come back, just as the show was beginning. They walk over and sit next to us, as
we see the ring and a Battle Royal breaks out between Smackdown and Raw and it's for the
first draft pick of the night.
"Oh jeez."
"We better get the first draft pick."
"Hopefully."
There were a few close calls, but eventually the first one to be thrown out for Smackdown
was Kane.
"Awww too bad."
"Oh well."
Raw for now has outnumbered Smackdown, until a few of the Smackdown members get
Khali over and out of the Battle Royal.
"Ohhh boooo!"
"Joy."
Sheamus then tries to eliminate Wade, struggling and struggling.
"Come on...get him out!"
But Wade stops him and gets off the rope.
"Grrrrr."
"Darn."
While Drew was trying to eliminate Bryan, we didn't see it until the cameras panned over,
but Kozlov was eliminated.
"Double joy..."
We sigh. Ezekiel Jackson was the next one to be eliminated, followed by Heath Slater.
"Haha bye Wendy!"
"Haha!"
Chris Masters then goes over the top rope and teeters on the edge for a second before
falling.
"Pfft fail."
"Whoops."
Then soon after that Wade was eliminated.
"Awww too bad. Thank you Ted." I laugh.
But not too long after that Kofi had eliminated Ted.
"Stupid...getting caught up in eliminating Wade." I shake my head.
"Well he never was a bright one."
"I think some of Maryse's airhead ways rubbed off on him." I laugh.
Mark Henry was now working on getting Brodus Clay over the top rope. That ended in him and Brodus both going over. Not too long after, Yoshi got eliminated.
"Oh come on, what the hell." I sigh in frustration.
"This isn't looking good."
Drew then tried to get Sheamus over the top rope, but never succeeded. That was short
lived because as Sheamus was getting back into the ring, Drew hit him and knocked him
out.
"Yeah...defintely not looking good."
"Nope."
We go to a commerical as Santino is trying to get Drew over the top rope, but when we
come back, Drew tried to eliminated Evan who countered and eliminated Drew instead. Santino looked like he was gonna fall and get eliminated but he held on and climbed back
up. He faced Big Show who was in the ring, and went for the cobra, but got it turned on
himself and getting eliminated.
"That was dumb."
"No kidding."
Then Cody starts talking trash, which in the end gets him eliminated by Mason Ryan. About
a second later, Kofi ends up eliminating Daniel Bryan. All that was left was Kofi and Big
Show on Smackdown and Mason and Evan for us.
"Yeah...this isn't going to end well."
"Yeah no."
Of course Evan and Mason got eliminated, which ended up getting the draft pick for
Smackdown.
"...great..."
"Oh god." Aly sighs.
The screen changes to the scanning through of each superstar and diva to go to
Smackdown. We're sitting there nervous, hoping that it's none of us. The scanning stops
and the person who's being drafted to Smackdown was in fact John.
"Oh thank god." I say in relief.
"You took the words right out of my mouth."
"Good, he can stay there. One less problem to deal with."
All of the Smackdown Roster stands up backstage where they're all watching what's going
on, and they're in shock of what just happened...a happy shock. But all of Raw was in a
disappointed shock. John came out onto the stage and got thrown a Smackdown t-shirt. He
puts it on and the screen fades to a commercial before he heads backstage.
"Good riddance."
"Hey, I'm gonna go to catering for a minute. You want anything?" Mike asks Aly.
"I'll take a vitamin water, you know what kind I like."
He nods and kisses her quickly, before getting up and heading out the door to head to
catering.
"Boy do I feel so much better now that we don't have to worry about John anymore after
tonight."
"I know." She agrees.
"Though there is still Extreme Rules to worry about."
"Yeah, I can't wait until that is over."
"Me too..."
After the commercial break, Todd Grisham comes on the screen from backstage.
"Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the newest member to Friday Night Smackdown,
John Cena. John I've got to ask you, what's your reaction to the draft?"
"Shock, suprise, awe, disbelief...I can tell you one thing, the SyFy network is partying like it's
1999. Because the biggest move in WWE history has happened!"
"But guess what? We don't care." Aly scoffs.
He goes on and on with useless nonesense that we can't even understand because he's
talking so fast.
"You see Todd, life changes. You got to change with it, kind of like a caterpillar becoming a
butterfly, or Dennis Rodman going from a man to a woman...and then back to a man. But
the biggest change of them all will be this Sunday at Extreme Rules. Because I will walk in
there as a member of Smackdown into that steel cage, and walk out the WWE Champion!"
"Whatever."
"And John Cena will bring the WWE Championship back...to the smack."
But then John and Todd look over, with the camera panning out to reveal Mike walking up.
"Is that so? Cena, too bad your last match is against me when I beat you at Extreme Rules.
The best part is, after this Sunday when it comes to Raw...you're right...I can't see you."
Mike laughs, mocking John with the 'you can't see me' hand motion John does, before
walking away.
"He would do that." Aly says, and can't help but laugh.
The screen changes and it goes back out to the ring, and Cole starts ranting again. We then
find out that he will be facing JR in a match tonight. After that they just had to replay what
happened between Truth and Morrison last week.
"Lame."
During Truth's little 'speech' or should I say 'rant', Mike came back and handed Aly your drink as he sat back down next to her.
"Thank you." She kisses his cheek.
"You're welcome."
Truth's rant goes on forever, until Morrison runs out and attacks him from behind. Refs
come out to pull him off of Truth, and back him up. When they let him go, Morrison goes right
after Truth again, until annd three refs have to pull him off. Morrison gets away again and
continues the attack, before the commercial break comes up. During the commercial break
we see this creepy looking promo that we've been seeing for a couple weeks now. We
finally get to see who this person is, and I immediately recognize who it is.
"Hey, that's Awesome Kong from TNA."
"Yeah it is and the commercial is creeping me out."
The screen changes to a name and it says 'harm', then it changes again and it
says 'Kharma'.
"I guess that's her new name now."
"Guess so."
When we get back from the commercial, Eve's music is playing and she's in the ring for her
match for yet another draft pick.
"Ewwww, go away."
"Ugh."
"All I'm saying is that she better not let the show down and lose."
"Agreed."
The her music faded and LayCool's music hit, and out walked Layla.
"Not her..."
Shortly after her Michelle walked out.
"And her..."
"I don't think McCool is gonna be helping her, not after what I've heard has been happening." Aly points out.
"I think Eve will get this one."
The match was pretty pointless, Cole interrupted again as usual as Michelle distracted
Layla.
"Clearly he does not learn no matter how many times we hit him and/or knock him out. Shut
up Cole...no one wants to hear you."
"He just doesn't get it."
As he walks up the ramp after Eve wins the match he's still talking. He finally stops and
walks backstage. Michelle and Layla start fighting and as Layla's attacking Michelle she
starts crying like a little baby.
"Enough of this...get on with our draft pick."
"Come on already."
Finally they get to the draft picking and once again we get worried. It seems like it's taking
forever, but finally it comes to an end to reveal that we get Rey Mysterio. The screen changes
briefly to everyone backstage, and Raw is ecstatic. We see Zack Ryder sitting there between
Randy and Yoshi...fist pumping in happiness.
"ShortBus being ShortBus." I laugh.
"Haha nice."
Rey comes out and the pyros go off, before he gets his shirt and heads backstage. The
screen fades to backstage where JR is warming up for his match against Cole before we go to a commercial. After coming back Cody's backstage doing an interview with Todd.
"God he looks ridiculous with that plastic mask. Take it off you don't need it!"
"He's creepy."
"Uh...yeah."
The next match is about to start and Kofi comes out to represent Smackdown for another
draft pick.
"He was just in a match...seriously?"
Then Sheamus comes out as his opponent.
"Hmmm, tough to say who'll win this."
"Yeah, I don't know."
In the end of the match, Sheamus missed his signature kick move and got two kicks to the
head by Kofi...his finisher move. Sheamus went down and was out like a light. Kofi covered
him for the win to get Smackdown the draft pick.
"Really?" I sigh.
"Joy."
Again the draft goes off again, scanning through everyone. It stops and we find out that
Randy has been drafted to Smackdown. Everyone on the Smackdown side freak out
happily, while Raw sits there disappointed and in shock.
"Oh well."
"I think we're getting robbed of the best people."
"They're trying to make up for Edge." Aly shrugs.
"Still not cool though."
Randy walks out onto the stage with a grin on his face, catches the shirt after standing there
for a while and puts it on and the screen fades as we go to another commercial. We come
back and the Corre's music hits and out walks Gabriel...this match being for another draft
pick.
"Oh great."
After the Corre's music fades, Morrison's hits and he walks out all confident and everything that he's gonna win the match.
"Oh jesus." Aly sighs.
"We could use the draft pick...so root for him to win maybe?" I ask.
"Um...I'm just gonna be quiet."
The match started, and Morrison had the upperhand for most of the match. Control of it
switch over to Gabriel and vice versa. It looked like Morrison was gonna win the match, but
Gabriel moved out of the way quickly, which caused Morrison to land on his knee like he
always does when he misses a move. Gabriel climbed to the top of the turnbuckle and got
into position, then successfully hitting Morrison with the 450 Splash. He then covers Morrison for the pin and won the match for yet another draft pick for Smackdown.
"I don't have a good feeling about this..."
Once again the draft screen comes up scanning through people. After waiting for a few seconds longer the scanning stops to reveal the next person drafted to Smackdown.
Unfortunately it ended up being Aly.
"WHAT?"
Her drink bottle bounces to the floor as she stares at the screen. The screen changes back
to the ring, and Morrison has a look of pure shock on his face and can't believe what has happened. Gabriel on the otherhand had the biggest grin on his face. She's just speechles, opening and closing her mouth several times before shaking her head and getting up to head out there.
"I was hoping this wasn't going to happen..." I sigh, after she leaves to head out to get the
Smackdown shirt.
"...wow..." Alex mutters while shaking his head.
Her music hits and she walks out onto the stage, not really happy with the draft decision.
She's tossed the shirt, and she catches it...putting it on with a still not so pleased look on
her face. She looks doesn at the shirt and then up at the crowd and she shrugs. She blows
a kiss at the crowd and waves a little before disappearing backstage. We go to another commercial as she walks back into the room, and sits down next to Mike.
"Are you gonna be okay?"
"...I don't know right now..."
"You know there is the possibilty that you can be drafted back...I mean that happens."
She shrugs, sinking back into the couch with a sigh. After we came back from the
commercial it was the match between JR and Cole. It ended really bad for Cole since JR repeatedly punched him and ended up splitting his lip open, and JR broke his hand in the
meantime. Swagger got involved which caused the DQ and of course he and Cole ganged
up on JR and started whipping him with his own belt. Jerry got involved next to help and took
out Cole, then Swagger and started whipping Cole with JR's belt. The GM dinged in of
course and changed this Sunday's Extreme Rules match to a Country Whipping Match.
"Oh jeez." I say.
Then Scott Stanford walks into the room, after knocking of course...the cameraman
following him in. Mike and Alex stand up, getting ready for Mike to be interviewed again. We
sit on the couches and out of the way of the camera so the interview can be done. We just
sit there in silence, Aly picking at the bottom of her Smackdown shirt.
"Ladies and gentlemen, standing standing alongside WWE Champion The Miz...now Miz..."
Scott starts to say but is cut off by Alex.
"Ahem..." Alex says, taking the mic from him and flipping the WWE logo upside down so it's an 'M'.
I roll my eyes, looking slightly amused.
"Miz coming up this Sunday at Extreme Rules..."
"Oh now you care about what I have to say Scott? I thought the topic on everyone's mind was
the draft. No wait it's John Morrison and R-Truth. No no...I forgot. The big story is that next
week when school's closed and mail delivery stops, and we all come out to celebrate the
birthday of The Rock. The people's birthday, yippee! The most electrifying birthday in birth-a-
tainment..."
We roll our eyes.
"Really? Really? That's what everyone's talking about? Let tell you something. First of all, we
recieve news that the love of my life...my wife got drafted to Smackdown. Smackdown?
Really? That's not where she belongs...she belongs here with me. Not on some second
rate show with a bunch of losers."
A small smile appears on her face.
"And next week nobody's gonna be talking about the Rock's birthday, or at least they
shouldn't. Because there's gonna be something even bigger to celebrate. Despite the fact
that I should even have to compete in a triple threat, let alone a steel cage where I could
lose my WWE Championship without even being pinned. This Sunday at Extreme Rules, I
will find a way to win. Because that is what I do. John Cena will go to Smackdown a loser.
John Morrison wherever he goes will always be a loser. And as for me...every single Raw
fan, every single network executive at USA should be on their knees praying to the high
heavens that I don't get drafted to Smackdown."
The smile disappears from Aly's face and she sighs, continuing to fiddle with the shirt.
"Because if I do, Monday Night Raw...Monday Night Raw within one month will be
cancelled. And mark my words...Sadie will be drafted back to Raw tonight. And that is a
guarantee, because I'm the Miz...and I'm...aweeesoooome."
The camera guy gives the all clear as the screen fades out to a commercial, and then he
and Scott leave the room and the guys sit back down with us. She leans into Mike's side
quietly. We come back from the commercial and they show a replay of what happened
between Punk and Randy last week where Randy won and Nexus ran out and attacked him.
Once that was done, Randy was in the ring with Dolph for a match for 2 draft picks.
"Two draft picks? Come on Ziggler!"
"Go Ziggles."
Dolph didn't really get much control in the match, of course. Randy won in the end with the
RKO and covered Ziggler for the Smackdown win.
"Freaking A." I sigh.
"Great."
The draft starts up again, but before it could pick anyone Punk's voice emerges interrupting.
"Hold up, hold up, hold up...the draft pick can wait."
"Uh no it can't."
"Oh my god Punk, just shut up."
"The most important man on television has something to say. I find it extremely
ironic...extremely ironic that this Sunday the pay per view is called Extreme Rules. I have no
doubt that we're gonna get nasty Randy...we're gonna get extreme on each other. But the
word rules just doesn't fit, because the rules don't apply. Except one...you have to answer
the referee's 10 count, and trust me I'm gonna beat you with so many sticks, so much
furniture, with my head, with my elbows, my knees, my feet and my own two hands, and
YOU will have nobody to blame but yourself. You put me in this situation."
"I think you got yourself into that situation. Suck it up you baby."
"A simple RKO out of nowhere will not get you the 1 2 3 on Sunday Randall. And I'm gonna
send you packing to Smackdown beaten up, broken down, turned inside out, and hurt. A
former shell of what you use to be."
"Punk there are many things that I miss from being on Raw. One of those things Punk that I
won't be missing, is having to hear you ramble on and on and on. Punk after this Sunday
you won't be talking, you won't be walking, you won't be eating, you won't be drinking, you
won't be moving. All you'll be is sleeping...unconscious sleep. Because...I will be...the last
man standing."
"Alright shut up so we can see the draft picks please."
Randy's music hits and then the draft picks start to resume...but unfortunately thanks to
Punk we head to go to a commercial.
"Thank a lot you ass."
Aly rolls her eyes. After the commercial we find out who was picked during it. First Mark
Henry got drafted to Smackdown, and then Sin Cara got drafted. Then another match was
scheduled for two draft picks, and out walked Wade first. After him, it was Rey.
"Go Rey! Get us two draft picks!"
"Come on Rey..."
The match didn't last long because in the end he set up Wade for the 619 and executed it,
then he jumped from the top turnbuckle and pinned Wade for the win.
"Finally! Make up for what we lost!"
"Good."
The draft went going again, first we got Big Show and then we got Del Rio.
"Not him...Dorito...ewww."
"...Dorito..." Aly snickers.
"Has a nice ring to it...Alberto Dorito."
Aly can't help but laugh. His music plays but he never comes out. He's backstage with
Ricardo and Brodus and he's complaining to Ricardo in Spanish.
"Uh hello...english please."
Aly rolls her eyes. After the commercial again, we go back to ringside and then we see the
matchups for Extreme Rules so far. Teddy Long's music hits and he walks out after the
matchups changed off the screen.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our main event tonight will be six man tag team match. And it will
be for final 2011 WWE draft picks. From Team Raw, CM Punk...Alberto Del Rio...and the
WWE Champion The Miz."
Aly squeezes his hand.
"Against Team Smackdown's Christian, Mark Henry, and John Cena! Holla'!"
"...of course..." I grumble.
"That's just great." Aly sighs.
"Well I guess we better be heading out there..."
Everyone gets up and we start the walk out to the ramp. Mike's music hits and we walk out,
doing the usual stuff on the way to the ring, before getting in. We wait a while, before Punk's music hits and he walks out getting into the ring. Lastly it's Del Rio and he takes his sweet time getting to the ring as always.
"Ugh. Retarded Jerk." Aly mumbles.
"And Dorito..." I giggle, and she snickers.
We wait in the ring, as Christian's music hits and he walks out, then waiting down at the end of the ramp. Mark Henry comes out next and walks down the ramp and stands down at the bottom of the ramp, before getting into the ring. Finally John's music hits and he comes out like he always does, sliding into the ring and whatnot. We all get out of the ring as he slides in and Mike just glares at him as he does his in-ring stuff. As we're standing there beside the ring, John looks over and points at Aly and then her Smackdown shirt before motioning to their corner, silently saying that she's supposed to be over there supporting them instead of supporting Mike. She glares and shakes her head, holding up her left hand and tapping her wedding rings.
"He comes first." She mouths as she points at it.
The bell rings as Mike gets in first. Everyone on Smackdown decides to let Christion go first. They circle each other before locking up and then leaning against the ropes, which in return Mike gets pushed forward going into the opposite side. When he comes back, he shoulder blocks Christian to the apron. Mike hops around as Christian gets up and he holds up a hand. Mike grabs it and then he kicks him and gets him in another headlock. Again like they started with the ropes, but Christian fell to the mat to avoid the shoulder block again. Mike jumped over and when he bounced back from the ropes, he ducked and Christian jumped over him. Again he went against the ropes and came back, meeting shoulder block my Christian. He grabs his arm and twists it, dragging him over to the Smackdown corner and he tags in John. Mike gets out of Christian's grip and quickly gets away from him and John, sliding out of the ring for safety.
John just laughs as Mike glares and we go to a commercial. Mike was back in the ring with John when we came back and it wasn't looking too good, since now John had supplexed Mike. Mike reached over and tagged in Punk, who John immediately took down. He pushes Punk into the Smackdown corner and tagged in Mark Henry. Punk basically got beaten down by Henry. Punk crawls over to the Smackdown corner and Christian was tagged in and Punk was still getting beaten down. Christian jumped off the top rope, but Punk capitalized after he got up and went for the GTS. Christian got off and then a few moments later went after Del Rio, and got distracted. When he turned back around, Punk kicked him square in the side of the head and we clearly heard the impact. Punk tags in Del Rio and Christian is now the one to get beaten down. Del Rio gets him in the Raw corner and tags in Mike after knocking Christian down.
Mike now goes to work on beating down Christian, including with kicking him in the head. He goes for the pin, but Christian kicks out. Then Mike gets him in a chin lock and the crowd starts cheering for Christian, which of course gives him the strength to get out of the hold, and get up. But when he goes to tag in someone else, Mike grabs him by the shirt and slams him backwards onto the apron. He pulls him over to the Raw corner and tags in Punk and they work as a team to hurt him even more. Christian is just not getting the chance to fight or tag anyone in. Punk goes back over to the Raw corner and tags Mike back in and they work together again. While Christian is down, Mike turns and glares at John which gets him distracted. When he turns around, Christian hits him and goes to get him in the Killswitch. Mike counters and pushes him into the corner, backs up and gives Christian the running corner clothesline move. He goes for the pin, but so close and Christian kicks out. Mike goes over and tags in Del Rio and he beats down Christian even more, trying to hurt him. He goes for a pin but Christian kicks out.
Del Rio made a bad move with putting Christian on top of the turnbuckle, because Christian fought back and knocked him down onto the apron. He capitalizes on Del Rio and then he and Del Rio slowly crawl to their corners. Del Rio tags in Mike and Christian tags in John. Of course John got all fired up and got the upperhand of the match. John turns and does 'you can't see me' to Punk, and when he turns around he gets knocked down hard by Mark Henry.
"Ooookay then..."
"Most likely a heel turn...again."
Aly sighs and shakes her head. Mike and John are slowly crawling around, and then slowly get up. John's back is to Mike and when they both get up, Mike hits John with the Skull Crushing Finale and pins John for the win and the two draft picks.
"Yes!" We cheer, high fiving and hugging.
The guys do their own celebration in the ring, until the draft picks come up. The first one came up and it kept cycling through until it stopped. We see that Aly got drafted back to Raw. She lets out a squeal of happiness and proceeds to rip the Smackdown shirt off, throwing it on the ground. She slides happily into the ring, and basically jumps on Mike, hugging him tightly. She laughs loudly as he spins her around. But it came time for the 2nd and final draft pick for the night. This one seemed like it took forever...to build the suspense. It stops and John ends up being drafted back to Raw too. Aly's somewhat disappointed but not enough to ruin her happiness at being back on Raw. Then out of nowhere John slides back into the ring and attacks Alex from behind, goes over and knocks Del Rio down, and then goes after Punk and throwing him out of the ring. He turns around to go after Mike, but Aly's standing in front of Mike, not letting John get to him.
She folds her arms over her chest and stares down John with a scowl. He contemplates what to do, before deciding to roll out of the ring and not get hurt this time.
"That's what I thought." She mutters.
The show ends with Aly and Mike standing strong in the ring. She and Mike get out of the ring, Alex and I follow them back up the ramp. They go to the locker room so Mike can change, Alex and I stop by the trainer's to get ice because of how John hit him, his jaw was hurting. Aly waits for Mike and then they walk back to the room to make sure they got all of their stuff. They head out to the car to wait for me and Alex. We get to the room next and make sure we grab all of our things.
"Your jaw hurts...that means you can't kiss me."
Alex pouts.
"Well, not the way you usually do anyway."
"Damn." He mumbles.
"I guess until it starts feeling better, we'll have to settle for the normal stuff." I say, kissing him quickly.
"Better than nothing."
"More of the draft tomorrow...I'm dreading it." I sigh, grabbing my things.
"Yeah..."
"Whoever wasn't drafted tonight is still at risk. The mere thought of you possibly going to
Smackdown..." I trail off.
"I know but if it happens, we will make it work. The shows stay in the same areas most of
the time so we'll be okay Carly." He reassures me and kisses my head, holding me against
his side.
"The house shows aren't the same...Smackdown doesn't go to the same places as Raw."
"I know but I'll call and skype and everything during that time if I get drafted."
"I know, and at least with Smackdown on tv...I can be there with you because I own a title.
That's the only good thing that'll come out of it if it happens."
"Right and if I do end up over there, it will give me a chance to break out on my own."
"Yeah I know."
He looks down at me and stops, tilting my chin up with his finger so that I'm looking into his
eyes.
"We'll be okay. I love you no matter what happens." Alex says firmly.
"And I love you too. Just don't think I won't freak out and get upset about it, if it does
happen...because there's a good chance I will."
"I know." He sighs as the two of us start walking again.
We walk out and over to the car, putting our things in the trunk before piling into the
backseat. Then it's off to the hotel.
"Oh before I forget. We got to catch a plane in the morning to LA." Mike says to Aly.
"What for?"
"Going to Dancing With The Stars to support Chris."
"We get to see Chris? Awesome!" She smiles.
"It's the results show so we see if he stays or goes home."
"Aww well he did say he's coming back to the WWE when he's done with dancing..."
"Well, we'll just see tomorrow night won't we?"
"Right."
"And I'll be sure to update you guys on who gets drafted tomorrow and to where." I add.
"Yeah. Hopefully nothing bad happens with that."
"I hope not. Tonight was bad enough."
"No kidding." She sighs.
"Oh by the way...how's the jaw feeling DC?"
"It feels better than it did."
"That's what the ice does." I point out.
"Yes I know." He says dryly.
Then we pull up to the hotel, and get out, getting our things from the trunk and heading inside and up to our rooms.
