It's back to Monday night, the dreaded Monday night that is. We're all at Mike's place, including his parents because they wanna show him and Aly the nursery that's all done before we all leave for the show.
"I'm excited to see it." She smiles, rubbing her stomach.
"I know, I am too." Mike smiles as well.
He kisses her head and she smiles more.
"Alright, are you ready to see it?" Carol asks, coming out of the hallway.
"Yes!" Aly beams.
"Follow me."
They follow her to the nursery. She smiles before opening the door and stepping aside so that Aly and Mike can walk in.
"Oh my god." She gasps, covering her mouth.
"Mom...this is amazing." Mike says, looking around.
"It's gorgeous." Aly breathes.
She walks around and looks at all the different things in the nursery. She touches the round crib and feels herself tearing up.
"I love everything."
"It's beautiful, thank you." She says to Carol, smiling with watery eyes.
"You're very welcome, I was happy to help."
Mike hugs his mom while Aly wipes her eyes. Then she walks over and hugs her as well.
"We really appreciate you guys doing this for us."
"It was no trouble at all."
"Savvy will love this." Aly smiles.
"She really will." Mike nods.
"It seems like he agrees." She adds, touching her stomach.
"Awww."
"My stomach moves now." She tells Carol.
"Awwww that's great."
She pulls up her shirt and shows her. She watches and waits until there's visible movement.
"Oh there she is."
"Mmhmm." She smiles.
"That's cute."
She puts her shirt back and pats the spot. She takes one last look around the nursery and smiles, before leaving and heading back out to the living room. She has her fingers laced with Mike's and she hugs his arm.
"Oh by the way, you're gonna have to head to the arena without me." Mike says.
"Why?"
"I'm heading to the arena later with Truth, we're gonna talk to each other of what we're gonna do if we have to talk to Hunter. Then we're heading to the arena."
"Oh."
"But don't worry because Alex doesn't have a match on Raw, so you won't be alone."
"Okay."
"I think we may end up deciding on apologizing for what we did last night, see where that gets us."
"I think that's a good idea."
"Yeah it doesn't hurt to at least try." I nod.
Mike nods.
"Well we're gonna head to the arena, we'll see you all there." Carol says.
"Alright." We says, hugging Carol and Greg.
They hug Mike as well before heading out the door and going to the arena. Aly snuggles into Mike's arms, instent on getting the affection she can before we leave. Soon it is time to leave unfortunately, and she hugs Mike tightly.
"...I don't want to leave you..." She mumbles quietly.
"I know you don't, but unless you wanna be in the same car as Truth, then you go with Carly and Alex."
She sniffles and pulls away.
"I'll be there soon."
She nods a bit, looking sad.
"I love you."
"Love you too."
Then he leans in and kisses her briefly. She reluctantly steps back as he breaks the kiss.
"I'll let you know when we're on the way."
"Okay. Be safe."
"I will be."
Mike crouches down and kisses her belly, making her smile softly.
"I love you Savvy."
"She loves you too daddy." She says as she moves a bit.
"I know she does." He smiles.
"We'll see you in a bit then."
"Of course." He nods.
"Love you." She says, getting another kiss.
"Love you too."
We say bye to Mike and head off to the arena. Once at the arena, we go right to the room since Alex didn't have a match this time so he didn't need to get ready or drop anything off. Aly curls up on the one couch while Alex and I cuddle on the couch. The show eventually starts and for once in a long time the Raw entrance plays, with added people because of it being a super show. The pyros and everything go off and the usual introduction from Cole happens. Tonight the guest star is Hugh Jackman, and we'll see him later. After that of course Punk comes out to start the show off.
"Oh look. It's Chatty." Aly rolls her eyes.
"Oh look he's limping...he's hurting. I have to say he deserves it."
"Yup."
It hurts to get into the ring, and he goes over and gets handed a mic, his music fading.
"I have to admit that this particular building has never been super kind to CM Punk. I um...I had to forfeit the World Heavyweight Championship here one time, because I was not fit to compete. One time actually it might have been the first time I've ever wrestled here...Bob Holly punched me so hard in my left eye, that I still to this day have a dead spot. And now I got to come out here, I can't turn my head left or right. I can barely put my weight on my left leg. I'm beat up, I was in a war last night and it's very evident if you take a look at me. But I think the thing that hurts the worst on me right now is my pride."
"Aww poor baby." Aly mocks.
"Because I have to come out here in a building that's always not been so kind to me, and I have to admit that maybe I was wrong. You see I have to admit that R-Truth and the Miz were right. There is a conspiracy here in World Wrestling Entertainment. It's not the conspiracy that the Miz and R-Truth are talking about. There is a conspiracy and this conspiracy I think involves a lot-" And Punk is cut off by Hunter's music.
"I was not done."
"I think that's too bad."
He stands there at the top of the ramp for a few moments before walking down to the ring. He gets a mic to after he gets into the ring and his music fades.
"Here's the thing Punk, I'll give you credit...I'm every bit as beat up as you are. I can barely move today. We went to war last night, war. But the fact remains that today, I am still the COO of the WWE. So I'm gonna come out here first and I'm gonna do my day job. In two weeks is our next pay-per-view Hell in the Cell. Last night John Cena made history, when he won the WWE Championship for a 10th time. And Alberto Del Rio deserves his rematch. You see here's the thing, quite honestly, you deserve the rematch you never received either. That is why in two weeks for the first time ever, the WWE Championship will be contested in a Triple Threat Hell in the Cell match."
"Poor John."
"Now that I've got the business aspect over, if you can't get it through your thick head at this point that I am not involved in this conspiracy. If you can't get it through your thick head that I had nothing to do with Kevin Nash attacking you at SummerSlam or attacking me and you last night. If you can't get it into your thick head that I had nothing to do with Miz and Truth attacking both of us or that I cut your microphone. If you can't get that through your thick head, then here's the thing..." Hunter says, taking off his suit jacket and loosening his tie.
"I got no problem going back to war with you right now!"
"And I got no problem going back to war with you right now, and I kind of wish a whole bunch of people wouldn't get involved. But you can go ahead, put your tie back on, I was gonna get to my point before you interrupted me. I came out here and I said that my pride is a little bit hurt, and think about it me and you...no we don't like each other. And somebody is using that to their advantage. My ego doesn't want to admit just as much as yours doesn't, that somebody is playing the both of us. Alright? You can't deny the fact that you and me have issues okay? There is a conspiracy here in the WWE, but it doesn't involve you. It involves somebody a little bit higher up on the ladder if you know what I mean."
"Now I could go on and on about Miz and R-Truth-"
"Hey! Hey that's enough! That's enough, this has gone too far!"
"Of course Laurinaitis comes out."
"I don't think it's been enough. I-"
"Wait a second. I agree about a conspiracy. But Punk, you're in the middle of it okay? I don't believe a word you say. You're not fooling me, you're not fooling anybody here okay? Triple H, don't believe anything CM Punk has to offer. He's just upset because CM Punk could not beat you."
"I'm upset because I couldn't beat him...you wanna know why I'm upset? It's because I figured this out...wait one second...John Laurinaitis ladies and gentlemen. What's your job title here in WWE?"
"Executive Vice President of Talent Relations"
"Executive Vice President of Talent Relations...how ironic. It's because of you I figured all this out. Last night when you wished me good luck, I saw it in your little stooge corporate eyes. You think you deserve to be the C.O.O. So if Hunter lost the match, you thought you were primed and ready to swoop right in and take over right? No, I'm willing to bet that you're the one responsible for sending R-Truth and Miz to the ring last night. I'm willing to bet that you're the one that cut my microphone off last week. I bet dollars to doughnuts that you're the guy that had Kevin Nash text himself and assault me at SummerSlam."
"First of all you're out of line Punk okay? I agree and admit that Triple H has lost control of the show, but that's because of you okay? I don't want to be C.O.O, I have a job, I take care of the talent and look out for the welfare. But I'll tell you what, I will not be disrespected as the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, because you work for me. And don't you ever forget that. You work for me."
"Yeah and I'm the C.O.O of this company, and you work for me. Now I'm not sure where all of this is going, but I'm gonna get to the bottom of this I can promise you that."
"It's all him okay? It's his fault. Punk I'm going to wish you the best in all your future endeavors...you're fired!"
"Hold on a second...you're not fired. If anybody's gonna get fired around here, I'm gonna do the firing. I'll tell you this, I don't know where all this shakes out, but I can promise you this...I'm gonna get to bottom of it and by the end of the night, somebody is getting fired." Hunter finishes, dropping the mic and getting out of the ring.
"That's...not good."
"No it' not. I have a bad feeling about this."
"Well whatever happens, whoever gets fired, we blame Laurainitis...he brought up firing people."
Laurinaitis leaves as well, following behind hunter, leaving Punk in the ring. Up next however and a 8-Man tag team match between Gabriel, Sheamus and Air Boom going against Christian, Wade, Otunga and McGillicutty.
"Seriously?"
"Weird."
The match starts after the commercial break, with McGillicutty and Gabriel. Kofi tags himself in going for the over, but McGillicutty kicks out. Kofi tags in Evan and things go downhill from there, McGillicutty eventually tagging in Otunga. He tags in Wade a bit later and Evan just doesn't get a break. Wade tags in Christian. During the whole match, Cole, Jerry and JR talk about Mike and Truth from last night, Jerry apparently hearing that they were fired.
"Uh no they weren't Jerry. Where are you hearing things from?"
Evan quickly tags in Sheamus and with him in the ring, Justin and Kofi help to get Wade and McGillictutty out of the ring, Christian tries to get involved and backs out like the little scaredy cat he is, and Sheamus wins with his finisher the Celtic Cross.
"Buh-bye." I snicker.
"Hah. Nice."
Then Hunter is backstage talking to a ref, and the ref is concerned for his safety after what Mike and Truth did last night.
"...Miz and R-Truth are on their way to the arena right now, and I'm concerned for my saftey as well as the other referees."
"Well I understand that Chad, but you got nothing to worry about alright? You tell Miz and Truth the second they walk in this door, you bring them to me, I wanna see them."
"Yes sir."
Aly bites her lip in worry.
"Now I know it's bad." She mutters.
She takes a shaky breath and rubs her stomach. I frown and untangle myself from Alex.
"You go make sure she's okay this time, I do it a lot." I say to him.
Alex nods and gets up, going to sit by her.
"Windy..."
She moves and leans against Alex.
"I'm just worried." She sighs.
"I know you are, we all are."
"I know."
"I know it's hard, but try to think positive up until he sees Hunter."
"I'll try."
He nods and then wraps his arms around her in a hig.
"I know you need one of these from me."
She laughs quietly and hugs back.
"Definitely."
"Thanks DC."
"You're welcome."
After the commercial break Ricardo was in the ring.
"Ugh, go away."
Aly rolls her eyes. Del Rio comes out in one of his fancy cars and he's not in a very good mood apparently. Ricardo introduces him in Spanish of course, and not too long after Morrison came out to face him.
"Blehhh."
Aly glares, growling a bit. Del Rio takes out his anger on Morrison and it ends in a vicious cross-arm breaker.
"Someone's a child aren't they? Throwing a tantrum for losing last night. Get over it...you baby."
"Crybaby." Aly mutters.
Then of course there was another commercial, but at least after the commercial it'll be entertaining because of Hugh Jackman.
"Finally something worth watching." I say after the commercial break is over.
"Yeah."
Justin introduces Hugh and the crowd goes crazy. He gets into the ring and he's such a character in the ring, shaking Justin's hand before being handed the mic.
"Hello Cleveland! I am so excited to be here on Monday Night Raw. I got to tell ya', hosting the Oscars was cool, but the Oscars isn't in front of 15,000 screaming fans in Cleveland. You having a good time? Alright, if you guys love the WWE Superstars, I know you're gonna love the ground and pound action in my new movie Real Steel. The robots are gnarly, they go at it from beginning to end, it'll get you out of your seat, it' a big sports drama I know you're gonna love it. It opens on October the seventh, so make sure-"
"EXCUSE ME!"
"Oh good lord, what the hell?"
"Excuse me! Excuse me! I said excuse me!"
"Oh my god, SHUT UP!"
"Excuse me!" She says again, getting into the ring with Dolph following.
"Whoa..."
"Well...excuuuuse me..mmm. Hi Hugh."
"Ewwwwww."
"Ewwww."
"I am your biggest fan."
"Thank you."
"And I totally agree with People Magazine that you're the sexiest man alive."
"It was a few years back." Hugh states.
"Many years." Dolph retorts.
"Someone's jealous." I snicker.
"Haha." Aly laughs.
"Yeah, I was just introduc-"
"I'm sure that you will agree with me that I am the hottest WWE Diva."
"Ummm...more ewww."
"Uh...no. Hell no at that."
"Vickie right? Vickie, you are...a diva."
"Wait wait wait, I'm sorry I'm sorry..." She says to Dolph.
"She's a diva right?"
"I represent-"
"Hang on, does that say Cougar?"
"Watch the hands." Dolph interjects.
"Sorry..alright man. You represent..yes Vickie.."
"I represent the hottest superstar in the WWE, the United States Champion Dolph Ziggler."
"Hottest? Um no."
"Hell no."
"Good to meet you Dolph." Hugh says, extending a hand.
"Listen Jackman, no..listen...hey over here. I didn't come on the set of Batman and interrupt you when you were berating some sound guy, or yelling at some PA because your latte was too hot, too cold or too foamy. So I don't appreciate you interrupting MY time. This...this was supposed to be my celebration. Because once again I proved how damn good I am as the greatest United States Champion this business has ever seen, because last night at Night of Champions I defeated 3 other superstars to retain my United States Championship. Not robots...no offense Mason Ryan...but real life people."
"Only because Vickie cheated for you." Aly scoffs.
"Exactly." I agree.
"Alright congratulations man..alright..."
"I'm not done."
"I'll listen, carry on."
"Unlike A-Ry, I get it...I get it. Cleveland is the town of the underdog, everybody knows that."
"Excuse you?" I fold my arms across my chest at the mention of Alex.
"Who practically knocked your ass out last night? I can do it again too." I add.
Aly snickers and so does Alex.
"And I know in your new movie Real Steel, you coach an underdog and you make him a winner."
"That's right."
"But you know what?"
"What?"
"That's a movie and this right here...is as real as it gets."
"Are you staring me down? You staring me down?"
"You hypnotized? You getting a little confused? We all know that underdog is just another word for loser. And just like people who meet you...I'm not done...I'm not done talking to you. No offense, just like people that meet you, losers lose."
"Alright alright, hang on a second. I think you just disrespected an entire city Dolph."
"Not my problem."
"You gotta get your client under control here seriously. Alright, here's what I...I love an underdog right? I love them so much, I'm gonna go back into the locker room, I'm gonna find the biggest underdog I can find, I'm gonna help him to come out here and have the upset of his life and humiliate you in a match. What do you say to that?"
"Whoever you go back there and get, whoever it is, it's going to be on your hands when I humiliate him in this ring. And he's gonna wish that he quit the business before he ever met me, no offense!"
"Oooh someone has an anger issue."
"Yep."
"Really?"
"What are you Miz? No you're too big."
"What? Alright..."
Then clearly what's being said by the crowd is 'We want Ryder'.
"You want Ryder?"
"It doesn't matter who it's gonna be!" Dolph yells.
Then Hugh gets out of the ring and goes over to the crowd being handed one of their signs before getting back into the ring.
"Are you kidding me? What, are you going back to your trailer? This is real life tv, not a joke!"
Of course the sign says 'Ryder Wolverine.' The music Hugh came out to plays and he leaves the ring quickly before heading backstage.
"Oooooh."
"It would be cool if it was Zack."
"I have a feeling it will be."
"Good for him. He deserves matches."
Then inside the parking lot of the arena, a car is pulling up and stops. We see Mike and truth get out of the car and get confronted by Laurainitis.
"Guys, Triple H wants to see you immediately."
"Okay, we'll be right there. Mr. Laurainitis, we want to apologize to you. We know we put you in a bad position last night and we apologize if we compromised your integrity in any way." Mike apologizes.
"Tell Triple H we'll be right there." Truth adds.
"Alright, let me know how it goes."
"Thank you." Mike nods and he walks off.
Mike and Truth look at each other and start to head into the arena with worried/sad looks on their faces.
"Oh god." Aly mutters.
"Remember, try to think positive." Alex reminds her.
"I know, I know. It's hard though."
"I know it is." He nods.
Aly lays her head against his shoulder and sighs. After the commercial break was the next match of the night, showing footage from Smackdown of both Sin Caras. First to come out was Sin Cara and this time it was the original one, since he was shorter and less buff then the new one. Cody was the next to come out, being Sin Cara's opponent. Cody got into the ring and did everything, but before the match could even start, Sin Cara's music hit again and the new Sin Cara comes out and that leads to another Sin Cara and Sin Cara confrontation in the ring again. This confrontation leads to a bit of a fight between them, the original Sin Cara knocking the other out of the ring.
"Yup, this will be interesting."
"Yeah."
And now the moment that's been making us nervous and worried all night. Hunter's in his office getting coffee when Mike and Truth walk in. Aly holds onto Alex's arm.
"Hunter, this is all on me. I should have never put my hands on a referee. Not that we don't think he's still in this conspiracy, we both think he is. But we know you're not a part of it, and we should have never interfered with your match, and we're sorry." Mike says first, with the sad/apologetic look on his face.
"I want to apologize too...to you. I wanna apologize to the WWE Universe, even to all the Little Jimmies." Truth starts to say and Mike gives him a 'look' about that.
"We recognize the error of our ways and won't do anything like that again. Trips, we love being WWE Superstars, there's nothing we love better. Please..I'm sorry. We think you're doing a hell of a job as C.O.O, and we apologize."
"Fine...I accept your apology." Hunter states.
"Since you...decided to put your hands on an official, I've decided to fine you each $250,000 a piece. I'll expect the check on my desk Monday morning."
And once Hunter said that amount of money, their faces went from happy and relieved to shock and awe.
"Better money than suspension or firing." Aly murmurs, feeling somewhat relieved.
"Yeah, that's a lot of money though."
"I know."
"Now get the hell out of here before I fire both of you. Wait a second..." Hunter says, stopping them before they leave.
"...one more thing. Since you both love being WWE Superstars so much, you'll have no problem competing tonight then against CM Punk...and John Cena. Now get the hell out of my office."
They leave and then there's another commercial.
"You okay now?" Alex asks Aly.
"Yeah, I think so. Thanks DC. You can sit with Dolce now."
"Alright." He nods, hugging her once more before getting up and coming back over to me and sitting back down.
I snuggle back up to him and he rubs my stomach. After the commercial, JR's in the ring and Teddy has just left. Apparently Randy as invoked his rematch clause and he will face Mark Henry at Hell in the Cell for the title. JR introduces Mark for an interview. About halfway through the interview though, the door to the room opens and Mike walks in. Immediately she reaches out for him. He walks over and sits next to her on the couch, engulfing her in a hug. She buries her face in his neck, practically sitting in his lap.
"I'm so glad nothing bad happened." She mumbles.
"Thank god it was just a fine." Aly adds.
"I know, I'm relieved it ended up being that." He nods.
She feels him kissing her head and his hands move to her belly. She leans into his touch.
"But wait, Hunter's firing someone by the end of the night. It can't be you guys, because he accepted the apology...who else could it be?"
"Who knows?" Mike shrugs.
We missed the whole thing with Mark Henry, not even noticing the commerical break, only seeing us come back from it and Jerry is being helped out from ringside. Then we see what Mark Henry was doing, he was hurting JR and then he hurt Jerry but putting him through the announce table.
"Wayyy out of control." I shake my head.
"No kidding." Aly says, having moved her head just enough to see.
Then while Josh and Cole are talking about what just happened, Kelly's music goes off and she walks out with Eve for obviously their match.
"Ooooh I wanna get Eve for attacking Nattie last night." I growl.
"I know but at least Charity is able to get her for us."
"Yeah true."
Then Beth's music goes off and she walks out with Nattie.
"Well good, Nattie can get her back for what she did."
"Yeah."
The bell rings and it's Beth starting off with Kelly. Beth takes out all her anger on Kelly for losing last night, but only for a short time until Eve is tagged in. Beth tags in Nattie once she got Eve down and they work together and double team her. Eve kicks out on the first pin attempt by Nattie. Eve takes cheap shots to Beth and then out of nowhere gets a roll up pin on Nattie to win the match.
"WHAT? WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"
"Just when we thought the division was turning around." Aly sighs.
"You know if it's still like this by the time you have Savannah and I have Gummy Bear, we're definitely coming back."
Aly nods in agreement. Eve and Kelly high tail it to the ramp, walking up backwards. Beth and Nattie look on in anger at them at what just happened. Then out of nowhere, we know it's Charity...she comes running out and just like last night, takes out both Kelly and Eve. But this time focuses more on Eve when she dishes out more of an attack, since Eve was the one who got the ridiculous roll up.
"Go Charity!"
The camera stays on Charity as she evilly smirks down at the barely moving Eve. The screen fades to Hugh Jackman backstage in the locker room.
"Alright let me get this straight...you're hardly ever on Raw, the Divas of the WWE want nothing to do with you except for your fiancee, and you made up an Internet Championship that you gave yourself."
"Woo woo woo, you know it bro."
"Alright, you're um...you're not an underdog man, you are delusional. You are out of your mind, you're kind of pathetic, you are perfect!"
"Yeah!"
"Perfect man."
"Let's do it bro!"
"Let's do this!"
"Let's go!"
"Come on!"
"Let's go, let's go! Let's do it!"
Then Zack and Hugh both leave the locker room, heading out for obviously the match against Ziggler.
"What a dork." Aly laughs.
"But we all love him, Charity being the one who loves him more."
"Right."
After the commercial break, first there was a special look at Hugh's movie Real Steel and from the clip we saw it actually looked like a pretty awesome movie.
"Oooh I wanna go see that."
"Yeah, me too."
After that, Ziggles was in the ring already with Vickie by his side. Once his music faded, Zack's went off and he walks out with Hugh and Charity, Hugh wearing one of the Broski headbands.
"Aha, nice."
The match starts and Zack goes for a pin early on with a roll up. A 'Let's go Ryder' chant starts and Zack just takes control of the match, going 'woo woo woo' like he always does in his matches, before he hits the Broski Boot on Ziggler. He goes for the cover and Dolph kicks out, Zack screaming 'are you serious bro' because of that. Hugh is coaching Zack from ringside and Dolph mouths off to Hugh and everything. Dolph gets distracted again and Zack gets the roll up, only for Dolph to kick out. A bit into the match, Zack is leaning against the ropes as he rests for a bit and that's when Vickie slapped him across the face.
"Ohhh hell no."
"Charity will get her."
"Oh yeah, no doubt about that."
The ref clearly sees Vickie getting involved, but she pays no mind to the ref yelling at her. That's when he points to the back, ejecting her from ringside.
"Haha!" I laugh.
"It's about damn time." Aly adds.
"I know right?"
As Vickie is busy arguing with the ref about getting ejected, Charity runs up and spears her to the ground. We laugh. The ref is distracted with that before going over to Zack to check on him. Then we see Hugh sneakily making his way up the steel steps, watching the ref and all around him. He rushes over to where Ziggler is leaning against the ropes and punches him in the side of the jaw, before jumping down quickly.
"Sneaky Hugh."
"Thank you Hugh Jackman." I snicker.
Zack hits the Rough Ryder on Ziggler, pinning him to win the match. Him, Hugh and Charity celebrate in the ring, Zack and Hugh hugging a lot before he and Charity hold both of Zack's hands up in victory. After the replay, Hugh and him do the man hug, and Zack is woo woo woo-ing, before another commercial.
"Way to go." Aly smiles.
"Well I should be getting ready for the match now." Mike says.
"Aw." Aly sighs.
"I know...and you should stay here, with Punk being in the match, things can get ugly."
"I know." She sighs.
He does the usual and kisses her first, before moving down and moving her shirt so he can kiss her stomach. He says some things to savannah, before saying that he loves the both of them. He kisses her again before he gets up and ehads out to go get ready for the match.
"That feeling is back." Aly says once he leaves.
"But Hunter accepted the apology, nothing bad can happen."
"I know but I still have the feeling..."
"Oh no..."I frown.
Aly gets up and sits on Alex's other side.
"Just in case..." She tells him and he nods.
After the commerical Vickie was watching backstage and Swagger comes up. She's now managing him along with Dolph. Then Punk is in the locker room getting ready for the main event match and John walks in with a big smile in his face. They talk to each other until the cameras are back in the arena by ringside. A thing on Hell in the Cell is shown before the match starts and Mike comes out first. Truth comes out next and then they do the 'You Suck' rap/song as they get into the ring.
"He's being a goof again...he's dancing." I snicker.
"That's my goofball." Aly giggles.
After the commercial break, Mike and Truth are talking until Punk comes out first, followed by John once Punk's in the ring. After everyone's all set, Mike shakes the ref's hand and said he's sorry for last night.
John shakes the ref's hand and Mike attacks him. A bit later, Punk tags in and they double team Mike for a two count. Mike fights back and tags Truth in. Punk and Truth with a toe hold, and then a suplex for a two count. Truth hits Punk with stomps, but Punk comes back with a blow. John tags in and takes Truth down for a two count. John let's Truth tag out so he can take on Mike. A drop toe hold to Mike, but he kicks out. Mike gets up and then wiggles free, taking John down for a two count, and that leads to a commercial. Coming back from the commercial, Mike kicks John in the face and he bounces around, taunting John. But John gets right back to fighting Mike. Mike comes back with what Cole calls 'vintage' Miz. Mike drags John to the heel corner and tags Truth in for two. Chinlock on John in the center of the ring, before John works to his feel and then suplexes free. Both of them are down, but when John gets up he's slammed down by Truth. John is dragged over and Mike tags in.
Mike on John with kicks as he dances around him. A bit after that, John throws Mike off, but both of them are down. Truth tags in and is able to stop John from getting the hot tag. Truth stomps on John but is backed off by the ref. John gets up and gets slapped by Truth, and then Mike tags in and they double team John. Mike stomp John down in the heel corner and then locks on John's head, eventually letting free to talk smack to Punk. John comes back with a spinebuster to Mike and a cheap shot on Truth, but then runs into a clothesline from Mike. Mike flies at John with a flying knee, but John counters.
John gets a diving tag and brings Punk into the ring. Punk goes after Mike and Truth, running a high knee then bulldog to Mike, along with a flying clothesline. Punk gets Mike up, but Mike fights it off. Mike almost hits Truth in the face, but stops himself. A dropkick sends Mike into Truth and a GTS to Mike causes Punk to cover him and win the match.
"Shit." Aly mutters.
John and Punk celebrate, Mike and Truth being outside the ring. Hunter comes out interrupting the celebration, clearly to announce who's getting fired.
Aly clutches Alex's arm.
"Sorry to interrupt the celebration guys, I am. Punk...good match. Miz, Truth...you're fired." He states, before walking back through the curtain.
"Wait..w..what?" I say, my face going pale, looking as white as a ghost.
Aly goes sheet white herself and covers her mouth. Instantly her eyes fill with tears. Mike is seen going 'what?' as he looks at Truth. Then he's saying 'no' and shaking his head, and before we know it, he and Truth are rushing up the ramp to go after him.
"I knew it." Aly chokes out, bursting into tears.
Everyone else besides us are sitting backstage near the curtained area, in disbelief of what's just happened. Hunter walks through the curtain before he's stopped by Scott Stanford to get a word on the firings. Then out of nowhere Mike and Truth come up behind Hunter and start attacking him. All the superstars around the area pull Truth and Mike off of Hunter and he's repeatedly yelling 'get them out'. Groups of superstars have Mike and another group has Truth and they're heading for the doors. Mike is heard saying 'no, I hate you' to Hunter before he's thrown out behind Truth.
"No...no!" He yells as the door closes.
Aly moves one hand over her heart as she feels it beating fast and she gets short of breath. He other hand fans her face since she's starting to get hot.
"Windy...Windy what's wrong?" Alex asks, getting really worried as he looks at her.
"Don't...feel...good."
Then he can hear me starting to act in a way that concerns him, which causes him to look over at me too. He gets up fast and heads for the door, going out into the hallway and looking around for an employee. Once he finds one, he asks them to go get the trainers because of what's happening with Aly and with me. A few minutes later, two trainers come in with bags. They check us over once before deciding to bring us to the room to be checked out further and get help with what's happening to us. Aly ends up walking beside one of them with an oxygen mask over her nose and mouth. We make it to the trainers room, and they have Aly sit and relax while she uses the oxygen mask to breath for right now. They wet a cloth and use that to cool her down some and to clean her face a bit though the tears keep coming. Alex stands by my side and keeps an eye on both of us.
"H...how...how could he do that?"
"I don't know." Alex sighs, running his fingers through my hair.
Then after a bit Hunter walks in, first seeing you with the oxygen mask and then me over with Alex. He starts to come over to us, but Alex sees him and gets up to stop him.
"Sir, I mean no disrespect but it's best for you to leave them alone after what just happened. They're upset enough."
Hunter looks at us.
"Please." He adds.
He looks at us one last time before looking back at Alex, and he nods before walking away and leaving. Alex sighs in relief before going back to me. At this point though, everything hit me and hit me hard, causing me to be breaking down and be in less shock. I cling to Alex and he does all he can to soothe me.
"...go see Aly...she needs a hug...too..."
"You sure? I don't want to leave you if you need me."
"I'm sure...until we get out of here...she needs you too."
"Alright." He says and kisses my head before walking over to her.
She's leaning against the wall behind her, staring at her rings and fiddling with them while tears keep running down her face.
"Windy..." Alex says, holding his arms out for a hug.
She glances up and sits forward so they can hug. She clings to him once he wraps her in a hug.
"I want Mike." She sobs quietly.
"I know. As soon as the trainers say you're all right, we'll go get his things and we'll find him. I'm sure he knows about you in here, he won't go far or even leave the parking lot."
"I want him now..."
"The trainers haven't given you the okay to go, I'm sorry. Windy...we can't right now."
She sobs louder, hiding in Alex's chest.
"I wish I could do something right now, I really do."
Alex rubs her back, trying to calm her down. It takes a while, but the trainers come over to check Aly and to check me for the last time. I'm cleared first and I get down, walking over to Alex and Aly.
"Alright, you can go. If the symptoms come back then you need to see a doctor." The trainer says to her as she takes the mask off of her and Aly nods.
"Thank you." She murmurs softly.
"Let's go get his things, and we'll find him."
She slides off the table and follows us out.
"I want to go outside now."
"I'll take her Alex, you go get his stuff." I say to him.
Alex reluctantly agrees and kisses me before he heads off. We turn and head otuside to find Mike.
"Mike!" We call once we get out into the parking lot.
We find him somewhat near the doors, pacing back and forth.
"Mike!" We call again to get his attention.
His head shoots up and he dashes over. She practically throws herself into his arms, sobbing again.
"First things first, I'm relieved you're okay Lyssa."
She nods slightly, burying her face in his neck.
"But you're not..." She mumbles.
"It's not fair." She chokes out.
"I know Lyssa, I know."
She continues sobbing quietly with her face in his neck.
"This isn't gonna stop us though. We'll get back somehow."
"I've done it before and I'll do it again. You believe me, right?" He adds.
She nods.
"It's still not fair though."
"I never said it was." He sighs, rubbing her back.
"It's gonna be a tough week."
She nods and sighs. I step up and hug Mike as best I can while he tries to calm her.
"She wasn't the only one at the trainers...I was too. But what I was going through was less severe than what she was going through." I tell him.
"Glad to see you're alright then." Mike says.
"Yeah, you have Alex to thank for that because he got somebody to get the trainers."
"I'll thank him later."
"Well he should be coming out soon, he is getting your things from the locker room."
Mike nods, kissing Alys head and resting his head against hers. Soon the doors open and Alex walks out into the parking lot with all of Mike's things. He also has our purses that we accidently left in the room.
"Thanks for taking care of them." Mike says to Alex.
"I had to, but you're welcome." He nods.
"Let's go to the car." Mike murmurs to Aly.
She nods and moves to his side but doesn't let go.
"I'll drive Mike." I say as we make our way to the car.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, I'm sure."
"Carebear, why don't you let me drive." Alex adds.
"I'm fine to drive." I tell him.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Alright." He replies.
Then we get to the car and Alex hands me the keys. I unlock it and Alex puts Mike's things in the trunk while Aly and him pile into the backseat. I get into the front and start the car and everything, Alex getting into the passenger seat. Then we leave the parking lot and head back to Mike's place. The drive is mostly quiet as Mike succeeds in calming her down. We pull into the driveway of Mike's place and we all get out. Mike gets his things out of the trunk and we all head inside. We give hugs and say goodnight before going to our bedrooms. In their bedroom, they both change for bed, Mike changing out of his ring gear and everything since he still had it on. She reclines against the headboard, wearing boyshorts and a short top that leaves her belly bare. She rubs her stomach while watching Mike. After he finishes getting changed, he comes over and gets under the covers next to her. She cuddles against him, taking comfort from the skin contact.
"I really wish those bad feelings I had were wrong." She mumbles.
"I know. Me too."
"I'll figure something out, don't worry."
"I'm still going to worry no matter what but I believe in you."
"Good." He nods.
Mike and her both look down when he stomach starts to shift.
"Someone's awake."
"Yup."
She puts her hand over the spot.
"She was worried about you too."
Mike puts his hand there too.
"Well she doesn't have to worry. Daddy will take care of things."
"I think she knows that now."
"I'm glad." Mike says, kissing her head.
"I love you..." He says before moving down to her stomach.
"...and I love you." He adds, kissing it.
"We love you too."
"So much." She adds.
Mike moves back up, still rubbing her stomach. He kisses her briefly before pulling her into him as close as possible. She kisses him again. When she does pull away, she gets comfortable in his arms and buries her face in his chest. He starts to run his fingers through her hair and she slowly dozes off. When he notices a change in her breathing, he knows that she's now sleeping. He leans down and kisses her head, before reaching over and turning off the light and dozing off himself. Meanwhile Alex and I have gotten changed for bed.
"It's definitely gonna be a long and tough week."
"Yeah..."
"...you're okay though right? I mean I know the trainers said you were alright to go but, I wanna make sure." He adds.
"Yes Alex. I'm fine." I assure him.
"He said he'll figure out some way on how to get back, makes me less worried and everything so I'm fine."
"Okay. Just asking."
"I know, it's okay."
We climb into bed and snuggle.
"So any reason why you didn't have a match on Raw?"
"I'm on Superstars this week, that's why."
"Oh."
"Well that's better than nothing."
"Right." He nods.
"Should be fun."
"Yeah."
Then I start to yawn.
"Someone's tired."
Alex rubs my back.
"You should get some rest."
"Yeah...you're right." I nod.
He kisses me gently.
"Night love."
"Night."
