It's the next morning, and Mike had gotten up early for a media day promoting the show tonight at TD Garden. He let Aly sleep and he gathered his suit and everything that he was gonna wear today, leaving the suit hanging over the chair and went into the bathroom to take a shower. When Aly woke up, it was right when his shower had ended and he walked out with the towel wrapped around his waist.
"Mmm...that's a nice thing to wake up to." She says sleepily, eyes traveling over him.
He grins and chuckles at her comment.
"You're very welcome."
She laughs a little, still looking.
"Media day huh?" You ask.
"Yeah. A few radio interviews." He says, removing the towel and getting his clothes on.
She props herself up, giggling quietly as she watches him.
"Aren't you gonna be hot in that suit?" She asks, as he starts to put the suit pants on.
"Probably." He shrugs.
"You're dedicated, you know that?"
"I know I'm dedicated, but thank you for pointing that out anyway."
"Want some company?" She asks.
"You know I always love you coming with me, but that's entirely up to you."
"I'll come. I'm up anyway and I'd be bored without you." She says as she gets up out of bed.
Then she goes over to her things and searches for something to change into. She picks out a pretty strapless dress with roses on it and changes into that. She pulls out a pair of heels and puts them on before she goes through her jewelry. Then she grabs her makeup and heads into the bathroom to do both that and her hair. She stands there for a minute, debating on how to do her hair. After a while of debating on how to do it, she thinks of something and starts styling her hair. As she finishes that and goes to her make-up, Mike comes in behind her.
"Don't you look beautiful."
"You always think that." She smiles as he puts his hands on her hips.
"Because it's the truth."
She tilts back and goes to kiss his cheek, but he sneakily turns his head so she gets his lips instead.
"Sneak." She laughs as she pulls away.
"But you love me anyway."
"Very much."
"And I love you...very much." He adds.
She smiles and nuzzles his cheek before returning to her makeup. He watches her in the mirror with a smile as on his face as he rests his chin on her shoulder. She laughs lightly when she feels his hands move to her stomach.
"And I love Jellybean very much."
"And as I always tell you, Jellybean loves you too."
"I know." He smiles.
She finishes her makeup and anything else she needs to do and then turns around in his arms.
"As much as I would love for us to be like this all day, you can't be late for those interviews."
"Right." He sighs, and kisses her forehead.
Then he lets her go and they leave the bathroom. They grab what they need before leaving the room and heading down to the car to head to the first interview of the morning. She lets him lead him in, their fingers laced together. They walk into the first studio and are greeted by everyone, before waiting over by the mic. Mike stands there while a chair is pulled up for her to sit down in next to him. He puts his hands on her shoulders and she lays hers on his. Then after waiting a while the interview had started and Mike took his spot standing next to her.
"My lord, look at the three piece suit on a man who...do you remember when you were last...do you remember when you were here..."
"I was here like 8 years ago."
"Yeah, and you were like a reality tv mess."
"A mess? I think I was a huge star in the reality tv...granted I did like 9 shows."
"But you didn't have like a $3,000 three piece suit on."
"True, and I also wasn't a former WWE Champion as well. I was on a reality show."
"I also wasn't married at the time." He adds.
Aly smiles as he takes her hand and squeezes it.
"This is so impressive, I love watching the progress of people as they move through life and become super successful."
"Thank you I feel like it all kind of started over here as well, I mean my wrestling career kind of like started over here against LB."
"I know, I mean think about that you and LB wrestled at the uh...Roxy. It's called something else now...Club Royale. So congratulations."
"Thank you, it's been a long long journey, uh...it's been a lot of hard times, a lot of hard work. But uh...finally got to main event Wrestlemania 27 and it's been pretty incredible ever since."
"How's it been mulling through the WWE...I'm a huge fan."
"Yeah, it's been incredible. I mean there's a lot of hard work in the beginning because I wasn't really accepted if you will, I was from a reality show. I always thought that WWE was kind of a fraternity along with the WWE Universe...the fans as well as the locker room and a guy coming in from the reality shows isn't gonna get well liked right off the bat. I had to earn my stripes."
"So they thought that you were fake, and they were real."
"Exactly, exactly...exactly."
"Now are you happy with this or are you gonna...do you wanna do movies...like what's your..."
"I'm pretty happy with this, I mean if a movie comes along that I'm really passionate about, of course I'm...I'm not gonna say 'No, no I'm not doing it'. But I mean I'm sticking with WWE as of right now. I'm having a blast doing it. I mean how many times do you get to go out there in front of 10,000 people at the TD Garden and literally have them all booing you? Telling you that you're miserable and that we hate you. It's not everyday you get to have that so it's the best job in the world. I mean I just got back from Austrailia where we had a 5 day tour where we're going in front of Austrailian fans. I have fans in Austrailia, I've been to China.
"So now that you're making big bucks in WWE, have you bought anything? Did you buy a ferrari or did you buy a..."
"Well I have a home in Los Angeles, I'm looking for a home in Las Vegas, because I enjoy the good gambling life. You know it's a good time on the strip."
"And I got married there so needless to say, we like Vegas." Mike adds.
"What do you like to play?"
"I always like playing Hold Em'. Yeah, I'm a good Hold Em' guy. I hate Blackjack, 'cause I always seem to lose. I feel if the table gets in a bad realm then I'm lost in it, I'm done...cash me in."
"So you want a place in Vegas."
"Yeah place in Vegas..well looking for a place in Vegas, I have a place in Los Angeles, I drive an X6 BMW. I don't mind...I mean I'm not bragging. I don't mean to brag in my three piece $1,000 suit. I'm not that type of guy."
"Miz a texter asked, how great is Coral's rack?"
"I haven't seen it in a while, but back when I was on the show it was incredible. I mean you could watch it on the show and literally go 'admire em'."
Aly raises her eyebrow at him.
"And now I'm going to be in trouble with my wife...thanks." He adds, once he sees her face.
"Mmhmm." She mutters.
"What's up with Alex...this texter said."
"Alex Riley? Uh...he's an ungrateful, uh...uh...ridiculous retard. I don't know he's an idiot, I don't like him. I mean nobody likes him anymore. I mean the kid uh...basically I brought him into the WWE. And I kind of brought him all the way through...he's ungrateful...took him under my wing, gave him a WWE contract and then what does he do after I fire him? He basically proceeds to uh...beat me down unmercifully, but it was by a sucker punch of course. You know everytime you get sucker punched, it's hard to come back from that. So yeah, nobody likes him. Now he's in Money in the Bank by the way, July 17th which is the pay-per-view. He's in Money in the Bank and this is the opportunity to get a contract to have a WWE championship match. This guy has had one win his entire career in the WWE, and now all of a sudden he's getting an opportunity to go to Money in the Bank, which I think is a load of crap but you know whatever. I see how it is."
"Who do you really like...like the legends?"
"Oh the legends? I was always an Ultimate Warrior fan, but now it's funny because I'll watch his matches and literally go 'Oh my god these are god awful'. But however I'm still watching it going 'This guy's incredible'. Just because of the energy he exuded."
"Do you have a lot groupies?"
"Groupies? Well you know we call them rats. They're here, they're everywhere, I mean they're in the hotels wherever but uh...not into it. Not for me. I mean back on the Real World they were a lot better but I'm 30 now and I'm married so yeah."
Aly nods, slightly smiling and resting her free hand on her stomach.
"Miz a texter would like to know who is humble in the WWE, and who is cocky."
"I'm cocky. I'm probably the most cocky out of everyone, that's probably why people don't like me."
"Now before you go I just want to refresh my mind and the listeners. When you and LB wrestled at that Matt Light charity event..."
"Kicked his ass."
"...did you win or did LB win?"
"That's cute. You know that was back in the day in my reality days alright? But I will admit this today, LB actually beat me. However we were in a tag match alright? So all this stuff was going on, all the shenanigans were going on, and all of a sudden LB gets behind me and school boys me up 1 2 3. And it was a fast count, it was a very very fast count."
"9 years ago..."
"LB beat a WWE..."
"...a former WWE Champion to be completely honest with you."
"By the way you were hugely successful..."
"I also lost to Rowdy Roddy Piper by the way. A 60 year old Rowdy Roddy Piper the other day, so I've had my share of losses and my share of wins."
Aly can't help but giggle a little. Then someone calls in and asks Mike what it was like working with Ghost Hunters.
"Ghost Hunters? You know it was interesting because it was really weird. They take us to this location where it's kind of like very eerie. And you're standing there in the dark and they're like you know you can ask the ghosts questions, and try to get them to do something. So I'm standing there in the dark going 'Hello? Is there anyone here?'. I tell you...for 10 hours I'm standing in this darkness, like...this is what they do, this is their job."
Mike talks a bit more, before everyone thanks him for being on the show and whatnot. Aly waits for him to pull the headphones and everything off before she stands up. They both say bye to everyone there before walking out and heading to the next studio that's in the building.
"I'm surprised, nobody's asked about Jellybean." She remarks as they walk.
"Not yet anyway." He adds.
"True."
Since the other studio wasn't too far from where the last was, it didn't take too long for them to get there. When they walked in, they both sat down at the table and as usual for everything to start. Aly leans her head against Mike's shoulder.
"Alright so we've got Monday Night Raw tonight, it's happening at the Garden. If you want tickets, they are on sale, you can go to . Tickets start at just $20. Listen to who else is gonna be there...Alex Riley, the Big Show, Dolph Ziggler...and the Miz. Good morning Miz."
"Good morning!"
"I'm awesome."
"No I'm awesome, that's my catchphrase. You can think of your own catchphrase okay?"
Aly laughs quietly.
"You're incredibly sharp dressed today."
"Thank you very much, I dressed up just for you."
"Oh you did?"
"Yeah I saw the tweet and I was like 'Well I have to dress up now'. If I'm gonna beat Kennedy, I basically have to."
"But I also dressed up for my wife, because she really likes it." He adds.
She laughs and leans up to kiss his cheek.
"We didn't even know that you were coming in. We sent out a Twitter message early this morning, because we heard you were going to be in the building. I'm a huge fan of yours."
"Well thank you."
"I can't believe it's been 10 years since the Real World."
"It's been a decade. It's been a decade...I feel old, and I'm only 30."
"So I heard you we gonna be in the building, I said 'Well Kennedy this guy likes a good challenge. Do you want to try and play Can't Beat Kennedy?'."
"I don't think you guys realize that when I was on the Real World, I dominated all challenges. Whether they were puzzles, physically, mentally, it didn't matter. I beat everyone at everything. And then I went to the WWE, and I beat everyone there too. I'm a former WWE Champion, I won at Wrestlemania 27, I have so many accolades, you cannot compare to me. You may be 434 and 37, but today you're going to be 434 and 38 sweetheart."
"Well I wish you luck."
"I don't need luck. When you're this good, when you're this sharp dressed, you don't need luck."
"Miz will you go ahead and kick Kennedy out of the studio please."
"Get her out of here!"
"Alright good luck brother."
"I don't need luck. You need the luck...you need the luck."
Aly looks amused, rubbing her stomach while resting against Mike's shoulder.
"Alright so we have sent Kennedy out of the studio, we have five pop culture trivia questions. You have to answer more correctly than Kennedy to win. If you tie..."
"Is there a time?"
"Uh no, you have all the time in the world. If you tie, it's considered a loss."
"Really? No wonder she's won so many times."
"The tie goes to Kennedy."
"Zero...she gets zero right..."
"The push goes to the house."
"Alright here we go, question number one. The new Harry Potter just days away from opening...what was the name of the first Harry Potter book and movie?"
"First Harry Potter book and movie was...Harry Potter and...I don't know though it's like s...sor-...I don't know. I know the Deathly Hallows is coming out Part 2, and supposedly Harry Potter dies maybe I don't know."
"Sorcerer's Stone dummy." She says, laughing.
"Question number 2. Kate Hudson had her 2nd child over the weekend. Who is her famous step father?"
"Oh her famous step father...is Kurt Russell. BOOM! BOOM! I thought-...and she had a boy by the way, boom!"
Aly moves off Mike's shoulder because he's moving around. She looks at her stomach and then at Mike before shaking her head and giggling.
"Question three..what ar-"
"And it was with the Muse's lead singer, BOOM!"
"What artist's first hit song was called Pon De Replay?"
"Pon De what?"
"Pon De Replay."
"Pon De Replay?"
"Yeah, what artist..what singer...her first hit song was called Pon De Replay?"
"Uh Lady Gaga I don't know."
"Rihanna." She nudges him and laughs.
"Alright, number 4. David and Victoria Beckham welcomed their-"
"You knew that?"
"-first daughter into the world over the weekend. Their first son was named for a part of New York..."
"Brooklyn. Boom! Come on! Come on!"
"Natalie Portman-"
"There's also Cruz as well."
"-has announced the.."
"And they had a baby girl, boom. Oh you want more?"
"Question number 5. Natalie Portman has announced the name of her baby. Who did she star with in 'Black Swan'?"
"Oh uh Mila Kunis."
"Alright let's get Kennedy back in the studio please. Come on back. Kennedy making her way back into the studio. Kennedy the Miz who is wrestling tonight at the Garden for Monday Night Raw got 1 2 3 out of five right."
"Not bad, very respectful."
"Well look at you with your little smirk...with your little smirk. Very respectful...yeah okay okay."
"His wife knew the ones he didn't."
"Question one. The new Harry Potter just days away from opening...what was the name of the first Harry Potter book and movie?"
"Uh Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."
"Nerd."
"Am I a nerd too then?" She asks him amusedly.
"Maybe a little, but that's okay because you're my wife."
She laughs and steals a quick kiss.
"Question 2. Kate Hudson had her 2nd child over the weekend. Who is her famous step father?"
"Kurt Russell."
"You got kind of quiet..Miz."
"Yeah...yeah."
"You were all big and bad when you got in here now you're all quiet and demure."
"Yeah I don't like this."
"Question 3. What artist's first hit song was called Pon De Replay?"
"Rihanna."
"What?"
"Yeah!"
"What?"
"Yeah!"
"Rihanna?"
"That's how we do that here."
"Ohhh come on!"
Aly laughs at Mike.
"3 to 2 for Kennedy..."
"This game sucks."
"3 to 1, excuse me. Uh question number 4-"
"It's not the game Miz, it's not the game."
"-David and Victoria Beckham welcomed their first daughter into the world over the weekend. Their first son was named for a part of New York. What's his name?"
"Brooklyn."
"Name another son."
"Where he was conceived."
"Name another son, name another-"
"Cruz."
"Right now we got 4-2 for Kennedy, going to the final question. Natalie Portman has announced the name of her baby. Who did she star with in Black Swan?"
"Mila Kunis."
"That is correct."
"Wooo!"
"So even if I had gotten them all right, even if I had gotten them all right I would've lost."
"Yes."
"So mainly she always gets them all right correct? And then she always wins."
"Not all the time-"
"That's how you do it. This game's rigged. This game is rigged."
"We all know this game's rigged, I understand..."
"If this game is rigged, then wrestling is.."
"How dare you? You bite your tongue."
"...at the Garden, tickets are on sale if you go to . The Miz, who are you fighting tonight?"
"Whoever the unlucky person is. Whoever steps in the ring with me will get their heiny handed to them if you will."
"I also see CM Punk, this is his last match in Boston."
"Yes his last match in Boston and it could be John Cena's last match in Boston, because if John Cena loses to CM Punk on July 17th at Money in the Bank pay-per-view, Vince McMahon will fire him. Because CM Punk is leaving WWE, his contract is done July 17th. But he's in a WWE Championship match, so if CM Punk wins that match, the WWE Championship's gone. Yeah, it's kind of weird right? It's never happened before."
"Then they're gonna fire John Cena."
"I hope they do, because I'll take his spot. I'll take all the kids wearing his merch too."
"Monday Night Raw tonight in the Garden. , tickets are only $20. Is there something you'd like to say before you leave?"
"...fine fine fine. Hello, my name is the Miz from LA, and I can't beat Kennedy. She's awesome." He says after sighing.
Aly pats his thigh sympathetically and giggles. Then once the show had ended they all said their goodbyes and Aly and Mike were off to the next interview. She decide to steal another kiss from him before they go in for the next one. Then as always, they walk into the studio, greet everyone there and then sit down at the table, waiting for the show to start. She grabs Mike's left hand and pulls it over to her lap, playing with his wedding ring.
"Hey good morning everybody, just had one of the most humiliating moments of my life. The Miz is here, who is as you know a tough guy, bad guy in the WWE. He confessed to me off the air that he is a fan of the New Kids On The Block."
"Not only that but here's the thing though, it's not that I'm a fan like..when I was in 4th grade I went to a concert 'cause I was a little kid and all the girls in my 4th grade class loved New Kids. So I was like 'Well I'll like New Kids, if the girls love them then I'll love them'. So then I went to Dancing With The Stars and they were performing with uh...well the reason why I went to Dancing With The Stars is because Chris Jericho was on it, he's former WWE superstar, so you know supporting the brotherhood. So Backstreet Boys and New Kids performed on two different stages at the same time, and they're across from each other. And the Backstreet Boys perform and then I'm like 'Okay'. I'm standing there 'cause everyone's standing and I'm like 'This is okay'. But all of a sudden the Backstreet Boys point to the New Kids and New Kids go 'Step by step', and I literally like...it was almost like I got goosebumps and I was like a little kid again and I jumped out of my seat. And I think I screamed louder than Jordin Sparks who was sitting like two rows next to me."
Aly laughs, remembering that. Then they played 'Step by Step' over the radio.
"Yes exactly. Exactly! I mean, I don't know if that's embarrassing, but I'm not embarrassed. A real man can admit that okay? That takes a tough guy to actually be able to admit that."
"So do you know who you're fighting tonight?"
"No, we have no idea. I'll get there today and figure out the whole show and what I'm doing."
"Hold on hold on. Come on, that's not possible."
"I'm that g-...yes it is, we're that talented-"
"Don't they...well Cena's gonna be there."
"Yeah John Cena will be there. He's actually in the main event tonight going up against CM Punk in a street fight. But what am I doing? What do they say that I'm doing on the card? They just say I'm there. So whatever it is, I'll be stealing the show. That's what I do everytime I'm out there."
Then they get into a conversation about various wrestlers and whatnot.
"Who's Kelly Kelly?"
"Kelly Kelly is a beautiful, gorgeous diva. Our divas are smart, sexy and beautiful."
"Oh so she's not a wrestler."
"She's a diva. She wrestles."
"Oh she does wrestle."
"Yes."
Aly looks up at the mention of Divas.
"And of course my wife does too, but she currently isn't due to...well I'm sure you've been following and you watched her reveal the big news." He adds.
"Yes we did. Congratulations to the both of you."
"Thank you." They both say.
"Now I'm sure there's a bunch of people out there with a lot of questions about that. Let's get some of them out of the way and answered right now. First of all how far along are you?"
"3 months."
"Do you know what you're having yet?"
"No, not yet, we won't find out for about another 6 weeks or so.
"Have you decided on names if it's a girl or if it's a boy?"
"We have but we aren't telling the public until the baby's born."
"Understandable, now Brie and Nikki Bella..."
"They're twins...that's all I'm gonna say."
"Dolph Ziggler."
Then they all joke around about his name, calling him a porn star.
"It sounds that way but he's actually our United States Champion. He's the champion of the United States of America."
Then Mike started talking about John Cena and CM Punk, and what's gonna happen Sunday if certain things happen, and then Kelly Kelly's website. Then they got talking about what wrestling used to do in Boston with going to high schools before going to the Garden to make extra money, and what it's like backstage before the show starts.
"Now what is your signature move?"
"My signature move is the Skull Crushing finale. Basically I put a guy in a full nelson, I sweep his leg and his skull hits the mat. Hence, basically being the finale. It's a Skull, it's crushing and it's a finale."
Aly laughs lightly and resumes playing with his ring. Mike's then asked about where he's from and that turns into a conversation about Lebron and basketball in general. After that they ask for advice on getting muscles and what not.
"Work out, eat right, that's what I do. You work out, you eat right, you train, you don't sit on your butt all day and just talk smack. You literally have to go to the gym guys, alright? You have to eat right. You don't just go to Dunkin' Donuts and eat your french crullers and drink your coffee and thing you're gonna get muscles. You actually have to go to the gym and actually work out."
And a conversation about protein breaks out, talking about the protein shakes and everything that they can take after working out. The interview only lasted a few more minutes longer, before the it had ended. They played his music before thanking her and Mike for being there. Then after that they both got up and left.
"Done?" She asks.
"Yeah we're done."
"Gooood." She sighs, leaning against him.
"We can go get lunch now if you want. All those interviews took up like half the day."
"Lunch sounds great. Maybe a nap afterwards..."
"Of course." He smiles, as they both get into the car.
They go and get lunch before they go back to the hotel. Once they're in their room, she kicks off her shoes and curls up in bed, yawning. He changes out of his suit into mor comfortable clothes, before climbing onto the bed next to her. She scooches and lays against him. He kisses the top of her head, before draping an arm over her, resting his hand on her stomach.
"I love you." She yawns.
"I love you too."
She snuggles down and dozes off while he rubs her stomach. It's a few hours or so later and we're all getting ready for the show, I'm just making sure I have everything that I need for tonight, even though I don't need much since I have the night off. I find the shoes that I chose to wear tonight and put those on, before heading into the bathroom to fix my hair. Alex pokes his head in to watch and he smiles at me.
"Hey gorgeous."
"Hey." I say back, glancing at him in the mirror while attending to my hair.
He steps the rest of the way in and slides his arms around me.
"You're gonna do this a lot when I'm in the bathroom doing this aren't you?" I giggle, as I put my brush down and pick up the pink feather hair clip and put it back into my hair.
"Mmhmm."
"Well I can't complain anyway."
"'Course not. I love you." Alex kisses my neck gently.
"I love you too." I smile.
I finish what I need to do in the bathroom with Alex still wrapped around me.
"Okay, I'm done now...you're gonna have to let go."
"Aww."
"You have all night to cuddle with me."
"True." He agrees, finally letting go.
"And I know my shirt is torturing you, because it's exposing my shoulders and everything." I snicker, walking out of the bathroom.
"Yeah..." He follows me out.
"Don't even think about it...not happening right now. I know what you're thinking of doing."
"Aw."
"But it's fun." He adds.
"I know but like I said, not right now."
Then I grab my things and he grabs his and we leave to meet you and Mike down at the car. Meanwhile Mike's gotten up and ready, letting Aly rest a little longer before he wakes her up.
"Lyssa...time to get up."
She mumbles incoherently, trying to hide her face.
"We have to get going to the show."
He gently moves her head and presses his lips to hers. Then he does like she did to him yesterday and takes her bottom lip between his and nibbles on it lightly. This wakes her up all the way and she pulls him down a little, groaning quietly.
"I knew that'd get you up." Mike chuckles as he releases her lips and pulls back.
"Duh." She says with a small laugh, sitting up.
Then she goes into the bathroom to fix up anything that needs fixing, before coming back out and slipping her shoes back on. She comes out and Mike's facing away from her so she sneaks up and slides her hands into the back pockets of the jeans he's wearing now.
"You just love doing that."
"Mmhmm." She giggles, squeezing lightly while kissing the back of his neck.
"Are you trying to distract me?"
"Is it working?"
"Maybe a little."
Aly laughs and takes her hands out of his pockets. Her phone goes off and it's a text from me asking where they are.
"Oops, we're gonna be late if we don't get downstairs."
Then they both grab their things and head out the door and downstairs, out to the car. They see Alex and I waiting for you two, with me leaning back into him with his arms around me, while he leans against the car.
"Awwww. Lovebirds." She teases.
"You're one to talk, we were gonna be late if you didn't hurry up." I add.
"That was kind of my fault. I wanted to let her sleep a little longer." Mike says.
"Well that's okay, understandable. Can we go now? It's kind of hot out here."
"Yeah."
We pile into the car and drive to the Garden. We managed to get there in enough time to head to the locker room so the guys can drop their things off, and we head to the room to watch the show.
"This could be a long night."
"When isn't Monday night a long night for us?"
"Good point."
The show eventually starts like always, but this time CM Punk's music plays first as he is opening the show. He walks out with a megaphone.
"Found a way around the mic's." Aly snickers.
He walks down the ramp at his own pace and gets into the ring like he always does. Then he went over to the ropes and got handed a microphone, then took the guy's headset and put it on, talking to someone telling them to not turn his microphone off before his music fades. He places the megaphone down and then proceeds to sit in the middle of the ring like he's been doing a lot lately.
"Story time again." I comment.
"Do I have everybody's attention now? I feel a little bit of recapping is in order. If you didn't see the show last week, then I can't blame you. I didn't watch either because I wasn't on. I was suspended by Vincent K. McMahon. I was suspended because the week prior to that, I got into a little bit of trouble because of some things that I said. I didn't get in trouble because I announced that July 17th my contract with World Wrestling Entertainment ends. I didn't just get in trouble because I said not only am I going to defeat John Cena this Sunday at the Money In The Bank Pay-Per-View. But that I was going to leave with the oh so precious WWE title, rendering all future champions completely irrelevant. I didn't just get in trouble because of this little nugget mentioned when Vince McMahon finally dies that the company will fall into the hands of his idiotic daughter and his son-in-law, who I believe I referred to as a doofus.I got in trouble basically because I have the balls to say things that nobody else has the balls to say. Things like this company inside and outside the ring are filled with a parade of shameless ass kissers. But never fear, tonight not only am I reinstated, not only is my championship match with John Cena back on..." Punk continues, standing up and grabbing the megaphone.
"...I brought back up just in case they cut my microphone off." He adds, talking into the megaphone.
The crowd starts chanting 'CM Punk', and he presses a button on the megaphone that makes an alarm sound go off.
"Just in case." He adds, before putting it down.
"A lot of you are probably wondering exactly why I'm holding a live microphone right now. I'll explain it to you. Vince McMahon desperately wants to sign me to a very long term, very lucrative contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. It's funny to me that Vince is bending over backwards to give me everything I've ever wanted, and the reason that's funny is because all I ever really wanted is this little microphone. See this...this is power. This voice...this is power. And in anybody else hands, this is a microphone and in my hands it's a pipe bomb as I showed two weeks ago. So Vince McMahon finally sees me for what I am, and that is the hottest property in this industry today. He finally sees that way because I did something that he and his endless empty suits could not do. I made WWE socially relevant. And I'm not talking...I'm not talking about you people because you don't really count. I'm talking about the real world. See in the real world the WWE has always gotten a mention or two for two reasons. The first reason being that CM Punk is speaking his mind. The second one is because somebody died. It's true. But now the WWE because of me is all over YouTube. I'm a YouTube sensation. ESPN is falling all over themselves to try to get me on their radio shows, to try to get me on their tv shows. Jimmy Kimmel's people are ringing my phone off the hook, they want to know exactly what I have to say, they're begging for my story. And I find it funny that I have one foot out the door and Vince McMahon finally wants to give me everything I want. Well if five years ago Vince McMahon treated me this nice, I wouldn't have five years of pent up ammunition to unload on him. I wouldn't have so much to say." He goes on, sitting back down in the middle of the ring.
"I know Vince McMahon and I know how he does business, and he's gonna come here and he's gonna expect me to sit down in his office and have a nice little man on man conversation about a contract. But I also know that he likes to do things that have never been done before. So I say tonight Vince McMahon, we have the first ever live contract negotiation in the ring. And who knows, maybe I'll sign, maybe I won't, maybe...Vince McMahon will have to join something that I like to call the CM Punk Kiss My Ass club."
That's when John's music plays and he walks out down to the ring.
"I'm talking...sir. Sir I'm afraid your music is just too loud!" Punk says over the megaphone.
"Aha. Nice."
"Cut it, cut the music, turn it off. You want to talk go ahead talk. What were you saying?" John says after he gets into the ring with a mic.
"Hey everybody it's John Cena! Thank you. Thank you for getting me reinstated to a job that I didn't even really want in the first place. Thank you for giving me everything that I could have ever wanted. See not only at Money in the Bank am I going to beat you for that title and god when I beat you for that title, I'm probably gonna change the way it looks because that thing has been far too ugly for far too long. You've made a couple of things completely real come this Sunday. I am leaving John, I will beat you for that title and I will leave, and now the thing of it is you...you're gonna get fired? Yeah let's go Cena. Let's go to Chicago so I can beat you for that title. But if you think that Vince McMahon is really gonna fire you, I'd like to take you back a couple months ago when you were fired and that lasted all about seven days. It's not gonna happen, so you don't have that to worry about."
"You done?"
"Let's be honest, probably not but would you like to say something? I have a megaphone."
"No, I want to make sure you get it all out, because you've made a very truthful statement. We've been waiting for about five years to say that you actually have a set of balls. Congratulations. And apparently you also have a mouth and you like to run it. I'm out here to set you straight. 'Cause for three weeks, all I've heard is how you say you're walking out of Chicago at Money in the Bank with the WWE Championship. You gotta go through me to do that. And you just act like I'm some sort of pushover. Like because you're CM Punk and you've got a live mic in the middle of the ring, that it's irrelevant who you face in Chicago because nobody's gonna stop you from walking out with the WWE Championship. I got news for you Jack, I'm no pushover. And no no no no no, easy easy. I know why you think it...because I was halfway knocked out when you were at the top of the stage and you said you were the best wrestler in this company."
"Wait I'll stop you right there."
"Go ahead."
"I am the best wrestler in the world."
"Yeah...okay." I shake my head.
"Congratulations you got a set of balls, a big mouth, and self confidence. And you also said that I am a vision of what this company believes the best should be. Because I prance around all these appearances and smile for the camera. You got it twisted, I do that because I love it. I'm the best because I have this and I earned it. You think...you think...you are the best wrestler. Congratulations for thinking that. I hate to tip my ace here, there's a lot of people who thought that. A LOT of people. Names like Triple H, John Layfield, Edge, Batista, Randy Orton, Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, even the late Eddie Guerrero. Every single one of them, thought the kid couldn't hang with me. Thought there's no way that he can wrestle with me in this ring. Every single one was disappointed. I didn't come out here to run my mouth. You think you're great, here's what I think. I don't care if you got a mic or a megaphone, I don't care if you stay or if you go, I don't care if Vince McMahon fires me or if he's full of it. I don't think I'm coming to Chicago at Money in the Bank to whip your ass."
They both dropped their mics and after a few seconds the GM chimed in.
"Oh boy."
"Can I have your attention please, I have just recieved an email from the anonymous Raw general manager. And I quote. Mr McMahon is on route to negotiate with CM Punk. But in the meantime I think that if this is John Cena's last night on Raw, we should see him in action. So Cena, don't go anywhere because you're going to be competing in a very special match next."
"Good luck." Punk says over the megaphone while walking backwards up the ramp.
"Well that took forever."
"Yeah."
"Although I barely was paying any attention to it, because someone decided to start distracting me."
Aly laughs and Alex gives a cheesy smile.
"Well I can't blame him." She adds.
"Someboday else was getting antsy too." She continues, tilting her head to look at Mike.
He just smiles innocently.
"Hah you can try to look innocent, but I don't believe it."
"What's it gonna be a lingerie pillow fight?" John asks once the commercial break ends.
"Ladies and gentlemen I was informed during the commercial break that our general manager has made the following match a handicap match."
After a few moments, Punk's music hits and out walks McGillicutty and Otunga.
"Of course...who else would it be."
"Boring...I don't really feel like paying attention."
"Yeah gotta love John and all, but when it involves the bland brothers it's really not worth watching."
"Nope."
The match was long with of course Cole's ranting, because he doesn't shut up during matches. We were barely paying attention, because well it was a bit boring, and we were back to being distracted. Mike couldn't keep his hands off Aly's stomach, and Alex couldn't keep his hands or lips off of the exposed skin due to my shirt. Mike also starts to put his lips on her exposed shoulders as well and she sighs quietly.
"This is the start of getting you back for yesterday." He mumbles.
She giggles quietly.
"I kind of figured."
She tilts her head as he goes up her neck. Aly and I both exhange amused looks.
"No marks...not yet anyway." I say to Alex.
"I know." He mumbles.
"That goes for you too." Aly says to Mike.
"Darn." He pouts.
"Maybe later." She giggles.
"If you behave." She adds.
"Promise." He grins.
She kisses his cheek. We look over at the screen just in time to see John win the match and see his hand raised in victory.
"Good for him."
Once he walks up the ramp it was another commercial break. After coming back from it we saw the same old Mark Henry thing they always play with him going all crazy like Truth and we see that he is of course facing Big Show Sunday. Then the screen changes and Dolph is backstage with Vickie.
"We need to have our facts straight and be prepared. So pretend I'm Mr. McMahon, what're you gonna say to me?"
"Oh jeez."
"Oh boy."
"Your Vince right. Listen Vince, you need to fire CM Punk, don't renegotiate with him...fire him. And while you're at it, fire John Cena too, 'cause as long as I'm the United States Champion, we can make that the premiere title in the WWE. 'Cause everyone knows I'm the premiere superstar in the WWE today."
"Well are you gonna tell me how to do my job?" Vickie says, mocking Vince's voice.
"No, I'm just telling you the truth. Except I'm not doing it out in the ring or insulting you or your family. But sir, last week you looked like a total wuss."
"I'm not a wuss, I'm Vince McMahon. I work out, I am strong. Do you know who I am? I'm your boss." Vickie continues, until Drew interrupts them.
"Hold on, I think I can get it. I'm Vince McMahon damn it. I'm the man! It says so in my name, McMahon!"
"Oh my lord. Watch, they'll get busted by Vince." Aly says, tilting her head more for Mike.
"Hah, that'd be funny."
"No, I'm Vince McMahon."
"No you WERE Mr. McMahon. Now you're just a shell of what you used to be. And if you don't realize what you have in talent of Dolph Ziggler, you should be the chairman of AARP instead of the WWE. So why don't you take your tacky outdated suits, your old man hair, and your dead possum breath and retire."
"Come on Ziggler, you've been close to the guy. It's more like a dead possum wrapped in a diaper. That more accurate?"
"Haha I get it. His breath is like a dead possum, wrapped in a baby's diaper soaked in vomit!" Vickie adds and starts cracking up, but she stops and almost freaks out when Vince has just shown up and is standing there next to her.
"Told you." Aly laughs.
"How're you doing Vickie? Dolph, Drew. Two of my fastest rising stars. You two deserve to have the spotlight, do you know that? I agree with you, I really do. As a matter of fact you deserve to have a really big spotlight so, why don't the two of you team up in a match tonight against say maybe the largest athlete in the world, the Big Show?"
"Busted." I snicker.
Dolph and Drew thank him but clearly they're not happy about it.
"Anyone got a mint? Mint. Because uh...what I really wouldn't want to have is...bad...breath!"
Drew makes a face and walks away, then Dolph and Vickie hurry away.
"That was dumb of them." I shake my head.
"Mr McMahon everyone all over the world is wondering what's gonna happen at tonight's live contract negotiations between you and CM Punk. Do you have a comment sir?"
"Everyone all over the world?"
"The entire world."
"The entire world?"
"All over the world."
"Why don't you tell the entire world that I said they can go to hell."
Then we see Kelly walking through the halls, because she's in a match up next.
"Yayy. Go Kelly."
Aly nods in agreement. After the commercial we were right back in the ring and Melina was sitting on top of the ring post, while she waits for Kelly to come out.
"Heyyyy."
"Haven't seen her in a while."
"I like her new ring attire."
"Me too."
"It's sparkly." I grin.
"Mmhmm." She laughs.
Then once the camera switched over to commentary, there's the Bella Twins sitting next to Jerry.
"Ew...what're they doing there?" I make a face, but yet being semi distracted because Alex is still doing what he has been doing.
"I dunno." Aly replies absentmindedly, distracted herself by Mike.
Then Kelly comes out and the Bellas have nothing to do but insult her. All through the match they insult her, especially for how skinny she is and everything.
"Ugh, I'm really getting tired of hearing them with their insults."
"Mmhmm. First they were making fun of pregnant women, now they're making fun of Kelly? Like they're oh so perfect...hah, don't make me laugh.
In the end Kelly won and the Bellas grab mics for most likely more insults.
"Hold on hold on, wait a minute. Um hello. Wow. Well now that that's over maybe you can go find some food."
"Honestly I mean 1 mil a month isn't healthy."
"But hey don't take our word for it, your skin is crying for help. It's saying feed me Kelly, feed me!"
"And you know um..can we get a closeup please? Underneath this painted on clown face, weave head is some serious need for proactive."
"I mean it did wonders for Katy Perry you know that right?"
"Yeah except she's not a teenage dream. She's nothing but a malnurtured nightmare." Brie says to Kelly.
That's when Kelly snaps and starts attacking Brie. Then they both start kicking at her and everything, and that leads to Eve running out to help. It works for a bit, until it's two on one again when the Bellas go after her. They get out of the ring to start heading back up the ramp.
"Okay, I've had enough of these two." I say, pulling from Alex's arms and standing up.
"Me too." Aly agrees and slides free of Mike's hold.
"Be careful." He says as she stands up.
"I will be, you know that." She kisses him gently.
"Can't help but be protective."
"I know."
I give Alex a quick kiss before we both quickly walk out of the room and to the curtain before the Twins get backstage.
"Alright, I'll go out first. If any one of them starts to head back that's when you come out."
"You got it." She nods.
I walk through the curtained area while their music keeps playing, but I storm out and up behind them and the crowd goes crazy of course. But I storm down what's left of the ramp before I can get to them. I don't stop until I hit Brie and she goes falling down onto the ramp. Nikki turns and goes to hit me but I block her shot and then slap her which sends her stumbling away. Then I take Brie and bring her down the ramp a bit before throwing her into the barricade a couple times. I turn to Nikki who started to approach me, but when she saw my face she backed off and started to hurry away back up the ramp. She gets to the top and Aly steps out, holding a spray can in one hand, shaking it up with a smirk. This causes her to back up, but little did she know that I was not too far behind her after dealing with her sister. I crossed my arms over my chest and smirking myself as she kept backing up. Then she bumped into me and she realized I was behind her. She goes to run away, but I hold her by her arms in a hold that's hard to get out of while Aly walks down the ramp with the can of spray. Aly pops off the cap and once she gets close enough, starts spraying her. She starts yelling and screaming and everything, also struggling against my grip, but it's no use. Both of us just laugh. Once she feels like she's gotten her pretty good with the spray, she stops and I let her go. She darts off, before slowly making her way up the ramp and glaring at the both of us.
"Here..." I yell to her, walking over and picking up Brie and shoving her up the ramp since she's capable of walking again.
"...you can have you sister back. I'm done with her for tonight. She has what's coming to her Sunday!"
Aly can't help herself and she sprays her too as she goes by her.
"Ohhh you ruined the pretty white pants." I snicker.
"Oops." She grins evilly.
"Now let's go see if Kelly's alright."
Aly nods and tosses the spray can to one of the stagehands before we go check on Kelly. We climb into the ring and go over to her and help her up, asking her if she's alright. She tells us she'll be fine as long as she gets ice from the trainers. So we help her out of the ring and we all walk up the ramp, getting her backstage. We drop her off at the trainer's office before heading back to the room. But as we're going back to the room, we see Mike walking down the hall dressed in his ring gear and everything.
"Aww that time already?" Aly asks, pouting slightly.
"I guess so. Which means Alex is more likely getting ready himself."
"Darn."
As soon as the camera crew had stopped following him due to the commercial break, he stopped when he got to us before heading to the curtain. She steps into his arms, kissing his cheek.
"Good job with the spray out there." He chuckles.
"Thanks." She giggles.
"You be careful out there, no matter what kind of match you're gonna be in." She adds.
"I'll do my best." Mike replies, kissing her forehead as he moves his hands to her stomach.
"Jellybean your new good luck charm?" She laughs lightly.
"I hope so." He chuckles.
She smiles and kisses his lips.
"You better get going."
"Right, I'll see you after everything."
"Love you."
"Love you too, and Jellybean."
"Jellybean loves you too daddy."
"Awwww." I smile.
Mike and Aly smile and he steals a kiss from her before he heads out to the curtain. Then we walk along again to get back to the room. Just as we were about to walk into the room, Alex had walked down the hall from the locker room in our direction.
"I'll meet you in there okay?" I say to you.
"Alright. Be careful out there." Aly says the last part to Alex as he gets to us.
"I'll try my best Windy." He says, before she heads into the room.
Alex then hugs me, pressing a kiss to my temple.
"No vest tonight huh?" I giggle.
"No." He chuckles.
"Aww that's too bad, I like it."
"I know you do."
"Nice work out there by the way." He grins.
"Why thank you." I smirk.
"No one messes with my friends, especially if it's the Twins." I add.
"Of course not."
"Have I ever told you that I think you're hot when you get angry like that?" He smirks.
"Oh really..." I raise an eyebrow.
"Yep." He nods.
"Good to know."
"Well I guess you should go get going now right?" I add.
"Yeah... love you."
"Love you too." I smile, leaning up and stealing a kiss from him like he always does with me.
Alex smiles and kisses my head, squeezing me gently before he leaves. Then I walk into the room and sit down on the other couch as we wait for the show to come back on. Aly sighs.
"I don't like all those ladders out there."
"Me neither."
We watch as Mike walks down the ramp and gets into the ring with a mic. He walks over to the ladder in the middle of the ring before climbing up it and sitting at the top, underneath the Raw money in the bank briefcase.
"You know, there's no better view than sitting on top of this ladder, and looking down upon each an every one of you. See I'm used to being on top, I'm used to being the best, I'm used to being the Miz and that makes me different than everybody in the ladder match at Money in the Bank pay-per-view. And it's not because I'm the most must see WWE superstar of all time. It's because I know what it means to take THIS path to becoming a WWE Champion." Mike says, pointing up to the briefcase.
"I know the smell, I know the taste, I've been there before in a way none of my opponents ever have. Sure, some of them have been close, but close doesn't make them a winner. Close doesn't make them a champion. I know what it takes to be a champion. And everybody's gonna find out exactly that I still have what it takes to be a champion. Up here, I'm quite comfortable. Because this...is where the future happens." He points to the briefcase again.
"And I am still the future. And every pretender this Sunday in this Money in the Bank match will learn why I am the Miz...and I'm..." He goes to say his catchphrase but is cut off by Lispy.
"Mike is not amused." I say, when we see the look on his face as Swagger comes out and he climbs down the ladder.
"Uh no."
"You're the future? You're at the top? Alex Riley must've hit you in the head way too many times Miz. Let me refresh your memory. I also have won the Money in the Bank ladder match, and I also have cashed in that contract and became a world champion. Let me tell you something Miz, I'm gonna do it again." Swagger says getting into the ring.
"Ehhh no you're not. You're Lispy for pete's sake."
"Really? Really? World champion really? Really? Really? Really? Let me ask you a philisophical question. If someone wins Money in the Bank and they cash it in, and nobody remembers it, did it really happen?"
"Ooooh burn." I snicker.
"Ahahaha I love my husband." Aly laughs.
"Do you think I care what these idiots remember?" Swagger retorts before Evan's music interrupts them.
"I don't know about everybody here but I'm tired of hearing you two talk about what you've done. I'm here to talk about what I'm going to do on Sunday." Evan says, before running and sliding into the ring like he always does.
"I'm gonna steal the show! I'm gonna climb that ladder and go airbourne and win Money in the Bank." He finishes and that's when Kofi's music hits.
"Okay everyone else in the match is gonna come out now and watch, the GM will pin in with some retarded match as usual." Aly points out, a small scowl on her face.
"Look ya'll, Evan I appreciate your confidence, I appreciate everybody's confidence. But at the end of the day, this is all just talk. This is Money in the Bank we're talking about people. This is an 8-man ladder where everybody puts everything on the line. Our bodies..." Kofi starts to say before getting into the ring.
"...our careers, the future! All for a chance at the most prestigious title in the history of the WWE. Anything can happen when you step through these ropes. Anybody can climb up this ladder and anybody can win this match. If I win, it's not going to be because of what I do, or what I say here tonight. It's gonna be because of what I do in the ring on Sunday. I mean you guys think it's a coincidence that one of the greatest superstars ever in the WWE had to retire because of injury? He got injured in matches like this, and that superstar's name...was Edge." Kofi continues.
"He's got a point..."
"I don't even want to think about that."
Then Truth's little entrance thing hits with him only talking and he walks out with a mic.
"Oh boy here we go with the whacko."
Aly rolls her eyes.
"Surprise surprise surprise! The conspiricies against Truth continue. You see everybody's talking about CM Punk vs John Cena. Ya'll must've forgot two weeks ago, I beat John Cena. The Truth threw the WWE Champ through a table. And all you little Jimmies, ya'll saw it. And now...and now I'm supposed to climb a ladder...and grab a briefcase? How am I supposed to climb a ladder and grab a briefcase when I got...I got acrophobia ya'll!"
"Acrophobia?"
"Fear of heights maybe?"
"But I tell you what, the conspiracy knows that I'm afraid of heights." Truth adds, getting into the ring.
"Oh, I guess you were right."
"Well I just assumed."
"But there better not be not one spider on this ladder. There better not be no spiders in this ring this Sunday, because I'm afraid of them too."
"Uhhh yeah me too." Aly says, shuddering.
"You see that briefcase right there? If I open it up and I see a spider, the grits gonna hit the pan. That briefcase gonna get got!"
"And that's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but..." Truth is cut off by Alex's music.
Alex then comes running out down the ramp and slides into the ring. Mike quickly scrambles out of the ring and over by the ramp and then Del Rio's music plays and he comes out in his fancy car as usual. Mike just smirks, because Alex couldn't get to him.
"This is an absolute Vergüenza...a disgrace! I should not even be in Money in the Bank! I took out Rey Mysterio so I'm the number one contender! And now we have John Cena against CM Punk? You've got to be kidding me. But the question is why...I'm gonna tell you why. John Cena is afraid of Alberto Del Rio."
"Yeah, okay."
"And now I have to do it all over again, just to show you that it's my destiny to be the next WWE Champion. Fine...in six days I'm gonna teach a lesson to every single one of you. And that's a lesson for destiny." He finishes and his music plays again, but that's cut off by the GM ping.
"Can I have your attention please, I have just received an email from the anonymous Raw general manager. And I quote. Alberto Del Rio has a point. And since we have six of the Money in the Bank competitors in the ring, let's have a match. So Miz, Jack Swagger, and R-Truth, you will team up to face Evan Bourne, Alex Riley, and Kofi Kingston in a six man tag team matchup that starts right now!"
"Told you it was going to be retarded." Aly mutters.
"Well we can be happy that it's not a one on one match involving Mike and Alex, with the risk of what happened last week happening again."
"True..."
The match started during the commercial break and the ladders outside the ring were left there while the one in the ring was moved. It started off with Evan and Lispy...of course. Mike tags himself in after a bit and he kicks Evan repeatedly before picking him up and kneeing him in the head/shoulder a couple times before hitting him again to lay in the ropes. Once Evan got off the ropes, Mike bounced off them himself and kicked Evan in the face...one of his signature moves. He went for the pin, but Evan kicked out. Mike picks Evan up and holds him while he tags in Truth. Once Truth gets a hit in on Evan Mike goes back outside the ropes. So now it's Truth and Evan and Truth had control over the match, until Evan got up foing for a tag, but he got the control back. Another nearfall and Truth is arguing with the ref. It stays as Truth and Evan for a bit longer until Truth misses the scissor kick and Evan jumps up and knees Truth in the face. Evan gets up and is able to tag in Kofi. So now it's Kofi against Truth and Kofi just took over the match where Evan left off. Kofi was going for his finisher Trouble In Paradise, but he stops as he sees Swagger and cheap shots him, and Truth comes over and attacks him.
"Truth, look out!" We hear Mike yell as Kofi climbs the turnbuckle.
But it's too late as Kofi jumps and lands on Truth, going for a pin. But Mike rushes in and breaks up the pin and he goes after Kofi before rolling out of the ring. Kofi gets up and then Truth runs and hits Kofi so he falls out of the ring through the ropes. After the next commercial break Mike was in the ring now going against Kofi and Mike goes for a pin but Kofi kicks out. Mike tags Truth in again and they work together to supplex him, followed by Truth with the pin, and Kofi kicks out. Again Truth has control over the match and he goes over and tags in Swagger. Kofi then fires back with hitting Swagger, Truth and then cheap shots Mike, sending him off the side of the ring and to the floor. Kofi bounces off the ropes and jumps, trying to jump over Truth and Swagger to tag either Alex or Evan in, but they catch him and Kofi ends up reversing with a double DDT. They all roll around with Truth rolling out, and Kofi finally gets the tag to Alex. Alex rushes in and spears Swagger, and repeatedly starts punching him. He rolls away and repeatedly drops Swagger each time he gets up. Then he delivers a spinebuster after coming off the ropes and he's all fired up. He goes over to Mike and flips him over the top rope and he lands in the ring and then goes back over to Swagger for a DDT, but Truth comes in and stops him. Evan rushes in and takes care of Truth and after Swagger gets up and sees Alex laying on the mat, he runs towards the corner, grabs a hold of it and lifts himself up, attempting to land right on Alex. But his plan backfires as Alex lifts his feet up and kicks him right in the jaw. Then Alex plants Swagger and goes for the pin, and wins the match for him, Evan, and Kofi.
"Well...good for Alex."
But then Mike sneaks up behind Alex and gives him a Skull Crushing Finale, which leads to Kofi coming in and dropkicking him out of the ring. Aly sighs. That leads to Truth knocking Kofi out of the ring, and Evan kicks Truth right in the head. He climbs the turnbuckle to deliver Airbourne, but out of nowhere Del Rio comes over and pushes him off the top of the ringpost. Then he grabs the nearest ladder and takes that down, sliding it into the ring and he climbs in after. He takes off his jacket and picks up the ladder and then he hits Swagger with it, followed by Alex, Truth, and then Kofi. Then while Mike is up on the side of the ring, he hits him with that too. Then he takes it and he throws it and it hits Mike again and knocks him over, and he's holding his arm showing that he's feeling some pain from the impact of the ladder.
"Oh no no no." Aly shoots up off the couch and dashes out of the room.
"Whoa wait for me!" I call after her, dashing out of the room too.
Aly doesn't slow down, heading straight for the curtain. She doesn't even slow down there, she dashes right out of that curtain and down the ramp as safely as possible until she gets to Mike. She skids to a stop by him and drops to her knees.
"Let me see." She tells him immediately.
He grimaces as he lets go of his arm in order for her to take a look at it, and I rush past them to see if Alex is okay as well.
"Sorry, sorry." She whispers as she presses on his arm gently and he hisses.
"Seems like it'll be bruised and sore for a while, I don't feel any broken bones." She says after checking his arm for a bit.
He sighs in relief.
"We'll get you some ice when we get backstage."
"Just sit up, lean against the barricade for now. I have some business to take care of." She adds as she helps him up, and then turns her attention to Del Rio in the ring.
She glares at him, scowling as she starts to walk over. Then she gives me a quick glance as I have stood up on the other side of the ring. She gave me a look and I nodded, and then we both climbed up onto the side of the ring, both glaring at Del Rio. We get into the ring and he realizes we're there and gives both of us a confused look. We just continue to glare at him as we slowly made our way closer and closer. He keeps looking between us and decides to give us a flirty smile. I growl CRACK! My hand cracks him across the face harshly and he stumbles backwards. Del Rio then stumbles back into reach, and Aly smacks him across the other cheek. He stumbles back again and when he comes back into reach, Aly lifted her leg and knees him hard where the sun don't shine. He drops like a rock and the crowd goes 'Ohhhhhhhhh'.
"That's what you get for what you did!" She yells to him.
She pushes his body over with her foot and glares before turning and going to get out of the ring. I do the same, but get out on the side that I got in, going over to Alex and helping him up.
"Does Aly need to look at your arm?"
"I think I'm alright, just need ice." Alex mutters.
"Alright, let's go then." I say, draping one of his arms around my shoulder as I help him walk along until we get to Aly and Mike. She helps Mike up and lets him lean on her.
"He alright?" I ask.
"Yeah. Just need ice and rest."
"That's good at least." I nod, as we make our way back up the ramp and backstage.
"Yeah." She sighs.
Then we bring them down to the trainers and wait outside as they walk in to get the ice for their arms. She leans against the wall and closes her eyes, letting her head drop back to rest on the wall. She tries to take deep breaths to calm herself down.
"Are you gonna be okay?"
"...think so..." She mumbles.
"I think you need a hug."
She comes over and hug her. She hugs back, continuing to breathe deeply.
"Would it help if we all went back to the hotel instead of sticking around?" I ask.
"That would be a good idea."
Then the guys walk out of the trainers office holding icebags to their arms. They see me hugging her and frown.
"I'm trying to help her calm down."
Mike frowns deeper.
"Its just best for you guys to go get changed so we can go back to the hotel." I add.
"We'll just meet you back at the room, so we can get the rest of our things." I continue.
They both nod reluctantly. Alex starts to walk away and Mike does too, but much slower than Alex. Mike keeps looking back at me hugging her and I keep telling him to get changed. A few minutes later I nudge her.
"Come on, let's get back to the room." I say soothingly.
She sighs and pulls back, rubbing her temples. Then we make our way back to the room, walking in and getting our things together while we wait for the guys to get back. She stretches out on one of the couches, her arm over her eyes. I sigh and sit down on the other couch, sensing that she's not completely calmed down at the moment. Then the door swings open and Mike and Alex come in.
"I don't know what to do...she's not entirely calmed down." I say to them quietly with a sigh.
Mike goes over to her and crouches down by the couch. He sees she's breathing deep but it's shaky, showing that she's trying to calm down but it hasn't worked yet.
"Lyssa...hey, what's wrong?" He says in a soothing voice.
She feels him start to rub her stomach with one hand. She sighs.
"Just scared." She whispers, her voice wobbling.
"About what? About me, and what happened out there?"
She nods.
"Sunday too." She mumbles softly.
"You can get seriously hurt Sunday...you managed to walk away with only a bruised and sore arm tonight from that ladder, but Sunday it could be a lot worse." She adds, and sniffles a little.
He frowns and moves her arm from her eyes, and leans down to hug her tightly. She latches onto him and buries her face in his shoulder. I watch from the couch I'm sitting on and let out a sad sigh, because to see her upset makes me kind of upset myself only because I don't like seeing her so sad. Alex walks over and puts his arms around me, resting his head on mine.
"I don't like seeing her like this." I say quietly.
"I don't either." Alex replies just as quiet.
"If it wasn't for Del Rio..."
"Yeah."
I frown and lean against him.
"I know you can't help but worry..." Mike mumbles into her shoulder.
"Let's just go. I don't want to be here anymore." She sniffles.
He nods.
"Want me to carry you? Or are you good?"
"I'm not making you carry me, you hurt your arm." She says firmly, pulling away and wiping at her eyes.
Then she gathers her things as she gets up, and Mike grabs his bag. Alex and I get up too, and grab our things before we all head out the door and out to the car. The car ride is quiet and so is the elevator ride up to our rooms. After Alex and I walk into our room, I just drop my things on the table, take my shoes off and start taking my jewelry off, but I do it without talking or anything. Alex slides his arms around me, just holding me comfortingly.
"This night turned out great." I say sarcastically.
"It could have been worse." Alex points out calmly.
"I know, but she's upset in there and I can't do anything."
"Love, you might not be able to calm her all the time now. Her moods are different than the ones you're used to."
"I know, but still. Pregnant or not, it still hurts me to see her upset like that."
"I know, it bothers me too Carly."
"I think I need sleep, maybe the morning will be better."
"Yeah." Alex agrees, kissing my head.
"And since we have 3 days off now, how about we spend them at my place?" He adds.
I turn in his arms and lean against him, nodding into his chest.
"That sounds really good."
"I figured it would."
"We'll head out in the morning." He adds, squeezing me gently.
"Sounds good."
"Good. Now let's get changed and get some sleep." Alex kisses me after his remark.
I nod and go into my things for something to change into, and Alex does the same. Once we're changed, we climb into the bed and since the air conditioner was on because it was still hot and humid outside, I snuggled into him more in case I were to get cold. Alex makes sure I'm tucked against him and comfortable. He kisses me and then reaches for the light.
"Night love."
"Night."
Mike and Aly are in their room. Mike drops his bag by his others while she sits on the edge of the bed, kicking off her shoes while she takes off her jewelry and pulls her hair down. It's quiet for a while, until Mike speaks up.
"Are you gonna be okay?"
"...yeah."
"Well we'll fly out in the morning to your place for our 3 days off, if you want."
She feels his eyes on her so she just nods and makes a small noise of agreement. He frowns and walks over, wrapping her in his arms from behind and rests his chin on her shoulder.
"I don't like when you're sad." He says quietly.
She leans back into him, her hands resting on his arms and she turns he face into his neck. She presses a soft kiss there.
"I know...it's just hard to come down from that emotional freak out when I'm so worried about something happening to you and then the wedding is next week and..." She trails off and sighs.
"...I know." He says, hugging her tighter.
She turns in his arms and pulls them up so they're standing as close as possiblem burying her face in his neck. Mike moves them from side to side slowly, rubbing her back soothingly. She closes her eyes and feels herself really start to calm down now.
"I love you." He mumbles, after kissing the top of her head.
"I love you too." She murmurs softly and kisses his neck.
"We should get some sleep."
"Mmkay." She agrees as he backs away a little.
Mike takes her face in his hand and kisses her forehead. She leans up and pushes her lips to his. After she pulls away, she leans her forehead against his with her face still in his hands and she smiles.
"Now...we can go to bed." She states, a small giggle escaping.
"Just one more..." He grins, pressing his lips back to hers for a few moments, before pulling away.
"...now we can."
She giggles again and pulls free from him so she can get changed. He gets changed himself, and then they both climb into bed and his hand rests on her stomach like always.
"Night, love you." She kisses him briefly.
"Love you too, night Lyssa."
