Tonight is the NXT and Smackdown tapings, Justin being a part of the NXT tapings tonight. She and him are currently in their hotel room, getting ready before they had to head to the arena. She's currently in the bathroom doing her hair and makeup after getting dressed. Once everything looks perfect, she puts her things away and walks out of the bathroom and goes to grab her shoes for the night.
"You look amazing, as always."
"Awe. You look as sexy as ever. I love the tie."
"Why thank you."
"You're welcome." She smiles. "You should wear them more often." She adds.
"Maybe I will."
"I would like that very much."
"Of course you would."
"What can I say. You are just that good looking."
"Of course I am."
"You really think so, huh?" She smirks.
"Well of course I do."
"Not gonna lie, but you are right."
"Hmm, I think we should go before you end up not wanting to go."
"That is a good idea, even though I already do not want to go."
"Come on..."
"Coming." She giggles.
She stands up after fixing her shoes and walks over to Justin. She laces her hands with his and they make sure they have everything they need before heading out. They make their way to their car and get in, heading to the arena. When they get there, they head inside and since it was about a half hour until showtime, everyone was running around, being busy.
"Looks like we just made it."
"Got a good half hour to go."
"Ah. Everyone seems to be rushing though."
"No, they're not really rushing."
"Oh. Well how about we go find some place to stay before you have to go out."
"Sounds like a plan."
Justin and Vi then head to his locker room that he will be using and walks in and sits on the couch. She leans into Justin's side as he arm goes aver her shoulder as he runs his fingers over the bare skin of her shoulder.
"Having fun?" She giggles, looking up at him slightly.
"Tons of fun."'
"Thought so." She giggles. "I had to wear this dress."She adds.
"I love it."
"Which is why I chose this one, just for you."
"Good choice."
"Glad you think so."
The show soon starts and after the intro, the first match to start things off, had Alex going out first with Percy Watson, their opponents being Darren Young and Titus O'Neil.
"Oh, it's Alex. This should be a good match."
"He's on a losing streak though isn't he?"
"Yea, but he is better than that."
"They're treating him and Mike the same way, with jobbing to all these people." She adds.
"I am sure things will get better for them. They are to focused on Wrestlemania right now."
"Yeah more focused on Rock and John. They've completely forgotten about everyone else."
"They are trying to hype it up more than they should probably."
"Well it's not fair."
"That is how they do things now."
"How well I know."
The match starts out with Alex and Titus. They circle and Titus takes control of the match instantly. That changes after an Irish Whip and Alex takes control now. Titus backs up into his corner and tags in Darren Young. He runs at Alex and Alex takes him down and then he gets to his feet, pushing Alex into the corner. He throws Alex into the opposite corner and Alex moves at the last second, bouncing off the ropes as Darren bounces off the corner, and clotheslines him. He goes for the cover, Darren kicking out at two. Titus tries to cause a distraction and Alex goes over, hitting him with a cheap shot, knocking him to the floor.
"That is what you get! Don't mess with him!"
Alex climbs out of the ring and to the top rope in the corner, only to have Darren get up and kick him in the head, knocking him off the corner and back into the ring. Darren goes over and picks him up, delivering a neck breaker before tagging in Titus. They double team Alex before Darren gets out of the ring. Titus picks Alex up only to clothes him back down. Back over in his corner and Darren tags himself in, them double teaming him again. Darren lits Alex up and drops him onto the top rope, before going for the cover, only getting a two count.
"See, he can do so much better than what they have him doing."
Alex reaches for Percy, but Darren goes over and hits him with his own cheap shot, so now Alex can't tag Percy in right now. Darren goes back over to Alex, dragging him into his corner while Percy tries to get in the ring, causing a distraction. Darren tags Titus in again and then he gets out. A clothesline in the corner by Titus before a few hits to the chest of Alex. Titus gets distracted by the ref and Alex hits Titus in the face, before elbowing Darren. He hits Titus again and elbows Darren again and then he hops up onto Titus' shoulder reaching for a tag to Percy, but Titus never lets him. Instead he brings him over to his corner, but Alex counters and rolls Titus up, not knowing that Titus made a legal tag to Darren, so Darren breaks up the cover.
"Boooo...Alex could have won!"
After a back breaker, Darren goes for a cover, only getting a two count, and then he gets Alex in a submission hold. It takes a while, but Alex manages to get out of the hold and gets to his feet and gets Darren to let go. A counter after another and Alex comes back, and little did Darren know, Alex tagged Percy in and Darren knocked Alex out of the ring, over the top rope. Percy climbs to the top and when Darren turned around he hit him with a double ax-handle. Percy takes control of the match now, not letting Darren get a shot in. He gets fired up before doing his signature move and then kicking Titus out of the ring before he gets involved. However, Darren hits his finisher and Percy gets pinned...Alex and him losing.
"This is getting old. Week after week jobbing to others who they are better than."
"That's good work right there. That's good work. Now, you see Percy...what we have here ladies and gentlemen is a failure to communicate." Titus starts, getting into the ring. "You see Percy, you've been going around and telling folks in the back that you deserve a rematch against me. Well Percy, next week you'll get your rematch. And I promise you, you better be more aggressive and have a better attitude than you've ever had. Otherwise you'll be just like these folks here again...a loser." Titus finishes, leaving the ring.
"He does deserve a rematch. Someone needs to shut Titus up."
Then up next they see that Derrick is going to be going against Heath.
"That's not gonna happen at all." Justin says.
"I would love to see Wendy get beat."
"But unfortunately he's not here, and that match is just a decoy for what's really going to be happening."
"What is that?" She turns to look at Justin.
"Well you've seen how Maxine's been treating him right?"
"Of course. It is hard not to see it."
"Well Kaitlyn came to me the other day and came to Alicia, asking if we would all join in on an intervention for Derrick. An intervention of Maxine."
"Oooh."
"Something needs to be done about her." She adds.
"And..." Justin starts to say, but a knock on the door and Kaitlyn's voice calling his name stopped him.
"...looks like we have to head out there now."
"I will see you when you get back." She sighs and gives Justin a quick kiss.
"You can come out with me, there's nothing against you going out there. You can come out with me only if you want to."
"I would like that."
"Well let's go then."
She walks over to Justin and laces her fingers with his as they make their way to the curtain and wait to go out. Soon they do and they get into the ring, sitting in the chairs set up. Justin, Vi, Kaitlyn and Alicia sit there in the ring, in chairs, waiting. Soon enough, Derrick comes out and they all stand up. He's confused as he gets into the ring.
"Looks like he is clueless."
"That was the plan."
"Derrick Derrick, this is a safe place, this is the trust tree." Kaitlyn says.
"This is actually a ring, and I have a scheduled match with Heath Slater, the red-headed ginger man..."
"Derrick, you do not have a match tonight." Justin adds.
"This...this is an intervention."
"Intervention for what? I mean I have a clean bill of health, I don't understand..."
"Only five foot five inches of pure evil...pure evil." Alicia adds.
"Brown haired whore."
"Are we talking about Trent Barretta, because we can't be talking about my girlfriend Maxine, she's a sweetheart, she's a peach."
"No, is there anything more evil on NXT please?"
"Dude, she's a piranha. She's evil, you need to lose her man. Do me a favor, think back. Think back to when you were single and you were happy and you were smiling all the time. Team Single, remember that?" Justin asks.
"I mean this girl is crazy. I mean anger management classes, court appointed therapists, that is nuts." Alicia adds.
"Man, she beats up random crew members backstage." Justin continues.
"And she makes everyone's life miserable." Alicia adds.
"Some peach she is."
"And Kaitlyn came to us and..." Justin starts to say.
"Hold on, so Kaitlyn I assume you set this up? And as much as I appreciate all of your efforts, I have a match with Heath Slater..."
"Derrick! Derrick Derrick, hey! We all care about you, just look, watch this. Watch." Kaitlyn says, pointing to the tron, which plays a video package of all the things that Maxine has done to Derrick.
"Yea, she seems fantastic." Vi sarcastically rolls her eyes.
"Now Derrick, are those signs of a...healthy relationship? But hey, the first step is admitting that you have a problem."
"I get it, but you don't see her at home. She's...okay. And I mean, I don't wanna die alone, and I guess we're in love, I mean..."
"Oh you're in love. Derrick, she's just using you. Wait till the next guy that comes around, that can do more for her career. Oh you're in love? Is it because she hits you? That's not love, that's weird."
"Maybe he likes it rough."
"Okay okay, well love guru, oh wise one please tell me what is love."
Kaitlyn puts her mic down, before taking Derrick and kissing him before dropping him.
"Oooohhh."
That's when Maxine comes running out and Alicia tries to restrain her, while Justin keeps Vi behind him. Then Kaitlyn and Maxine go at each other. Derrick tries to restrain Kaitlyn, while Justin grabs Maxine.
"Whoa!"
Maxine makes him let go and she grabs a chair, going after Kaitlyn and Derrick, but Justin grabs it out of her hands. Alicia restrained Kaitlyn while Maxine went over and started slapping Derrick left and right in anger. Justin goes over and grabs her, pulling her away the best he could. Maxine screams for Justin to get off her and let her go, and when he does she does one thing to possibly make Derrick jealous and that's turn around and kiss Justin.
"No she did not!"
He instantly pushes her off of him and that's when Vi storms over and starts attacking her to the point where Justing had to pull her off of Maxine.
"Stay away from him you stupid whore! I mean it!"
She rolls out of the ring and starts heading back up the ramp, glaring at both Vi and Kaitlyn. But more at Kaitlyn because of kissing Derrick.
"You better watch! Go back with your 'boyfriend'."
They all wait until Maxine had disappear backstage before getting out themselves and heading back up the ramp and backstage too.
"I-I can not believe she did that! She better hope I do not see her again."
"Vi...calm down." Justin says, her face in his hands as he's trying to soothe her.
"I can't! The nerve of her!"
She starts rambling on and Justin does the only logical thing and kisses her. She slowly starts to calm down and kisses back. She runs her hands up his chest and around his neck, pulling herself closer to him. Once he feels that she's calmed down, he pulls away, resting his forehead against hers.
"Better?" He asks.
"Much."
"Good. Now let's go relax for the rest of the show before Smackdown."
"Lead the way." She smiles.
He smiles back, once again lacing his fingers with hers and they head back to the room to relax for the rest of NXT before Smackdown starts up. In the meantime, Ted and I have finished eating dinner and decided to stay outside for a while. I was currently sitting on the dock, enjoying the calm feeling and watching the reflection of the moon on the water.
"It is so peacefully and beautiful out here." I say.
"Which is why I love being home when I can be."
"I can see why. Nice and relaxing."
"These couple weeks off have been amazing." I add.
"I agree. Mostly because I got to spend it with you." Ted leans over and kisses my cheek. "But there is good news, kind of...back in action next week." He adds.
"That is great!" I smile and kiss the corner of his mouth. "I bet everyone misses us." I add.
"Do you know what on yet?" I ask.
"Not yet. All I know is we go back next week."
"At least you are back, even though these few weeks have been great."
"They have." He nods.
"When we get the chance we have to do it again."
"We do" I agree.
"I will have plans for when we do."
"Oooh, like what?"
"A surprise."
"Hmm...okay."
"You will love it. Trust me."
"I love all your surprises."
"Of course you do. Only the best for you."
I lean back into him and look up at him. "Of course."
Ted smiles and kisses the top of my head as he wraps his arms around me. I snuggle into him as we both look over the lake at the moon and stars.
"So beautiful." I say in awe.
"Not as beautiful as you." Ted whispers, kissing my cheek.
"Always the charmer."
"Only for you."
"Of course."
"Another fun filled day tomorrow?" I ask.
"It's gonna be another fun filled week."
"I would not doubt that. Been fun the past few weeks."
"It always is."
"Right. Anything with you is fun."
"And I think it's a movie night." I add.
"I think so too. Cuddling all night."
"Scary movies are good for that."
"So a scary movie it is." Ted grins.
"Lights off and everything to get the full effect."
"If you get to scared, just remember I am right here."
"Oh I know, but I'm pretty good when it comes to scary movies. Unless it's one I haven't seen before."
"How about you pick the movie then. Do not want you that scared."
"Right. Well let's go now then, make it a movie marathon for a few hours or so."
"Good idea. Lets go." Ted say standing up. He offers me his hand and I take as he helps me up. Ted laces his fingers with mine and we head up to the house. Once we walk in, Ted locks the door before joining me in the living room.
I find a movie on TV that I've already seen so it's not that scary, and once I have one picked out and it's on, he goes around, shutting the lights off. After shutting everything off Ted comes to join me on the couch. Once we are all set I start the movie. Not to far into the movie we can hear rumbles of thunder in the distance that seem to be getting closer.
"I think we came inside just in time earlier."
"We did. The roll in was unexpected over from the river."
"Or Mother Nature just knows we're watching this movie and is making the weather appropriate." I laugh.
"She has her ways." Ted chuckles.
"She does." I nod.
"Should make the movie even better."
"Of course." I say, snuggling into him more as we continue to watch the movie.
Ted holds me a bit tighter making sure I feel safe, while rubbing his thumb gently over the skin of my arm. I sigh in content and lean my head on his shoulder resting one hand on his leg and the other on my lap. The storm however is only a quick passing one and after about a half hour it got quiet and soon that first movie had ended.
"You want to pick this time?" I ask, looking up at Ted.
"Sure, of course."
"Not your movie...just saying. There's only so much distraction I can take."
"So I am distracting huh?"
"Yes you are, you should know that by now."
"I do know. You tell me all the time." Ted says, looking for a movie.
"Because it's true."
"As you are distracting for me."
"And sometimes it's not intentional."
"What can I say. You are perfect no matter what."
"So are you."
"All because of you."
He soon finds a movie and we turn our attention to the TV and watch that. Ted starts to run his fingers through my hair and I can feel myself starting to drift off. I started to run my fingers across his chest, trying to stay awake. "You're making me fall asleep and I'm not even tired or ready to go to bed yet."
"Sorry. I can't help it. You are just so soft and touchable."
"Good to know, but I'm not ready to fall asleep yet."
"I should stop then." Ted says, resting his hand on my side.
"You don't have to stop, I'll just try and keep from falling asleep."
"Maybe I want to keep you up a bit longer."
"I can fight it, trust me."
"Good. Then I would not be able to do this." Ted grins and leans down giving me a soft gentle kiss.
"No, you wouldn't be able to, would you?" I smile, after he pulls away.
"No I would not. Now you can go to sleep whenever you feel you need to."
"Still too early to go to sleep."
"Maybe we can do that again then..."
"Oh you would love that." I giggle.
"Of course I would." Ted grins.
"Hmm...I don't know...I don't think you'd be able to stop yourself this time.
"Is that a bad thing?"
"No, not really."
"Well then..." Ted trails off. He leans down and presses his slips to mine kissing softly at first. He then wraps his arms around me and starts to deepen the kiss as he slides his hands to my waist. I make a soft noise, then start to run my nails down his chest, to his abs. Since his indents were exposed a bit, I was able to get to them so I moved my nails over to them. I felt Ted tense and heard a slight growl come from his chest. He then moved his one hand to my thigh and started to squeeze it slightly. I knew things were gonna go a bit farther like before, so I had to stop him, because of his bad wrist.
"...Your...wrist..." I managed to say between breaths.
"...I know."
"You need to be careful."
"Remember you said no getting carried away until it's healed." I add.
"Right. Just could not help myself."
"Yeah, I know. It's hard to not get carried away."
"Especially with you."
"Yes, especially with me."
"You're just so irresistible."
"Good to know." I giggle.
"How about we finish this movie?"
"Good idea."
Ted kisses me one last time before we turn our attention back to the movie. I snuggle into him as his arms stay around me. We finish that movie and move onto another one. We manage to watch that one before I yawn slightly.
"You're tired." Ted notices my yawn.
"Just a bit."
"If you want we can go to bed now or I can carry if you fall asleep here."
"See if I fall asleep and if I do you can carry me."
"Sounds like a plan."
"Probably won't take long, knowing me."
"Well it was a busy day so of course you would be tired."
"Right. I'm surprised you're not."
"I am, but not too much."
I then rest my head on his shoulder as I watch the rest of the third movie we picked out to watch. Once that was over I let out another yawn, trying to hide it from Ted.
"I saw that."
"Saw what?"
"That yawn."
"Are you sure?"
"Scar..."
"Okay okay, I yawned, but I'm still awake aren't I?"
"Yes you are." Ted says. "Another movie?" He asks.
"Hmmm, well I'm not sure if I want to really fall asleep during it."
"Want to head to bed and relax there?"
"I think that would be the better idea, yeah."
"You head up and I will turn everything off and lock up down here."
"Alright." I nod.
I stand up and kiss Ted quickly before heading upstairs while he does everything. When I get there I walk to the bedroom and climb under the covers and wait for Ted. Shortly after Ted comes up and walks in. He then climbs into his spot next to me and I snuggle his side. And it really didn't take long for me to start getting tired more and soon enough I felt myself falling asleep.
"Night Ted." I was able to say before I was completely out. Ted whispered ' night' back and kissed the top of my head before going to sleep himself.
In the meantime, NXT had just ended and Vi and Justin are relieved, because that means that SmackDown will start soon. They are currently in his locker room and he has been all cuddly since that 'scene' earlier. He had her sitting in his lap with his arms around her as he kisses the back of her neck. "Mr. Cuddles I see." She giggles.
"Yup." He chuckles.
"I'm not complaining."
"Of course not."
"This is just want I need after earlier." She sighs in content.
"I know."
"I am sorry. I did not mean to over act out there."
"It's okay."
"I can not believe she had the nerve with me out there. I am sure glad I went now."
"You know, I really don't think she cares."
"Obviously not." She says. "Whore." She mutters.
"Can't say I disagree with that statement."
"That is all she knows how to do. No class." Vi shakes her head.
"Not really, no."
"I do not want to think about HER right now. What do you have going on tonight?"
"Smackdown match."
"Oh. Two shows in one night. Do you know who?"
"Drew I believe."
"Should be easy. He really has not had much going on the past few months." Vi says. "Feel bad for him though." She adds.
"Yeah I do too."
"I just hope that Long does not fire him. He does have a lot of talent."
"Right. Who knows what could happen."
"These days, I do not think anyone knows anymore."
"I know, with how things get crazier around here."
"True. When do you go out?"
"5th match of the night."
"So we have some time to cuddle then."
"Plenty of time."
"I like the sound of that." She sighs, snuggling into Justin more.
"Then we can leave after my match, unless Cody has one and you wanna stay and watch that."
"Hmm...We can leave after yours. I really do not want to stay longer than we have to."
"Alright, sounds good."
"I wonder how Scar and Ted are doing. Have not heard from her today."
"I'm sure they're fine."
"Me too. It is just not the same without her here."
"They'll be back next week. I heard Ted's back in action next week."
"That is great! They both must be excited."
"Yeah I'm sure they are. Just don't know if he's gonna be doing a Superstars taping or be on Smackdown though."
"Well whatever it is, I am sure he is happy to be back."
"Right. We can only hope nothing goes wrong in whatever match he has."
"That we can. He has been through enough."
"He has, I think she has too with him being hurt and out of action or a couple weeks."
"She has. She has been so worried about him and everything. I do not know if she can handle him getting hurt again."
"And this she isn't gonna be able to stay home with him the whole time. She's lucky she got these past couple weeks off."
"She is. She is going to be a mess if it happens again."
"Exactly."
"She has us though and we can help her as best we can."
"Right." He nods.
She turns to Justin and gives him a quick kiss. Justin pulls her in closer and starts to deepen the kiss. After he pulls away he leans his forehead against hers. "I love you." Justin whispers, rubbing his nose against hers while running her hand over her back.
"I love you too." She smiles and gives him another kiss.
When she pulls away, she goes back to snuggling into him. Justin keeps his arms around her and holds her closer to him. She starts to run her nails up and down his arm sighing in content. The screen on the TV changes, the WWE intro playing before showing a video package of Daniel Bryan and his title reign, advertising his match against Randy tonight before going to the SmackDown intro.
"The little twerp is so in for it tonight."
"Randy does not play like that."
Sheamus comes out to the ring once the show was introduced.
"You know since winning the Royal Rumble match, all I can think about is WrestleMania. Stepping into that ring, in front of over 80,000 members of the WWE Universe, and millions and millions more watching around the world, I'm going to be in the main event of the greatest show on earth. And I cannot wait to step in the ring face to face with the World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan. You know since Daniel Bryan became World Champion, he's become a changed man. He's become conceited and obsessed. So much so, that he reminds you of someone else, after they won their first WWE Championship. Me. When I won my first WWE Championship over 2 years ago, I believed I was the greatest thing ever, I believe I deserved it, I became wrapped up in my own ego."
"You did. As for Daniel, he changed for the worse."
"Well a matter of fact, I should've realized how lucky I was. I should've known that the WWE Championship...was the greatest trophy I could've earned at that time. But what happened? I became the one thing I despised my entire life. I became a bully. And what I needed was, I needed somebody to remind me where I came from. I needed someone...to set me straight. I needed someone to knock my block off and realize what I had achieved and who I was. Well Daniel Bryan needs the same thing."
"He does. Bullies are not good and that is what he is."
"And lucky enough for him, come April 1st I'll be more than happy to show him when I kick his arse, and become the new World Heavyweight Champion!"
"EXCUSE ME!"
"Ugh. Not her again!" Vi rolls her eyes.
"EXCUSE ME! EXCUSE ME! Sheamus, what a wonderful story you told. It was so special, but you know what my favorite part of your story was? My favorite part is when you finally stopped talking."
"I wish you would stop talking."
"Now we don't want to spoil this heartfelt moment, but do you think anyone really cares about your little story? You say you wanna give the people what they want, what they deserve. They deserve to see the greatest sports entertainer in the world today, the show off Dolph Ziggler in the main event of WrestleMania." Dolph adds, taking the mic from Vickie.
"I would rather see Horneswoggle than you."
"Not you. Oh and Sheamus, I don't want to freak you out man but, your hair's on fire brother." He continues.
"It is kinda bright tonight." Vi laughs.
"Really fella? That's joke's almost as old as your grandmother Vickie there."
"Ooooohhhh! Burn big time!"
"Excuse me? Let me tell you something fella. I am not old, I am experienced!"
"I do not want to know about that, thank you."
"Um...gross."
"Right." Vi shudders.
"You know there's all this talk about John Laurinaitis and Teddy Long running both shows. Which for the record, Dolph and I prefer John Laurinaitis over the bald nincompoop Teddy Long. But for your information Sheamus, I am the only person without the last name of McMahon that has ever been a general manager for Raw or Smackdown. So if you're looking for someone to help..." Vickie's cut off by Teddy's music.
"Thank god someone shut her up!"
"Well...Vickie Guerrero, the only thing that you're going to run is Dolph Ziggler's career right into the ground. Now let me show you how I run SmackDown baby girl. Let's get some action going in that ring. Dolph say hello to your opponent for tonight, Sheamus."
"She is not doing a good job with Dolph right now."
"Not at all."
"He is going to be a nobody soon enough."
"I know, keep hiding behind her and he will be."
"Shows what a real man he is."
"And that match is going to start right now." Teddy finishes, leaving.
"Watch her get involved."
"As always."
"I can't stand that."
Sheamus applies a headlock then runs the ropes and hits a shoulder block, but Dolph comes back with a dropkick and shows off while Sheamus gets up. They lock back up and Sheamus hits another shoulder block, then he holds the ropes to avoid a dropkick and clotheslines him. Sheamus clubs him in the corner and Dolph tries to roll outside, but Sheamus catches him on the apron then ties him in ropes and punches him in the chest. He suplexes him back in the ring and gets a two count, then Dolph rolls back out of the ring so Sheamus goes after him and rolls him in. Dolph catches him with a kick to the head, then he uses the ropes to hit a neckbreaker and kicks him in the corner.
"They are taking it to each other."
Dolph hits another neckbreaker then puts Sheamus in a headlock, but Sheamus makes it to his feet and connects with a few forearm shots. Sheamus comes back with a powerslam for two, then Dolph puts him in a sleeperhold but Sheamus backs him into the corner and flips him outside to break the hold. Dolph leaps off the top rope but Sheamus catches him and hits an Irish Curse and goes for the pin, but Vickie puts Dolph's foot on the ropes. Sheamus calls for a Celtic Cross, but Dolph slides out and gets a near fall, then Sheamus calls for a Brogue Kick but Vickie calls for backstage help. Swagger runs out and jumps on the apron, but Sheamus kicks him down to the floor and gets hit with a Zig Zag. Dolph makes the cover, but Sheamus kicks out so Dolph goes for another sleeper, and Sheamus counters with White Noise for the win.
"I can not believe she did it again! But Sheamus showed them."
Teddy is seen walking backstage on the phone with Aksana as he walks into his office. He hangs up and then Laurinaitis and Otunga are waiting for him.
"Mr Laurinaitis, this is my office. Now what can I do for you."
"Teddy I came here to be the better man...and came here to get an apology."
"Apology? What're you talking about?"
"Teddy when you viciously attacked me on Raw this past Monday, I hurt my back. I actually went to the hospital Monday Night."
"What?"
"Luckily it's not broken. But the MRI did show that I have a lower lumbar strain.
"Which only proves how tough Mr. Laurinaitis is. A normal man wouldn't even be standing up, let alone standing in your office. By the way Theodore, just because those criminal assault charges have been dropped, I'm still contemplating filing a civil action against you for your brutality."
"He deserved it! I for one and happy he did what he did."
"And Teddy, I'll accept an apology instead."
"I'm not apologizing to anybody. Now I think everybody enjoyed what I did to you this past Monday on Raw, shoving you on your rear end. You looked like a combination of a cow on ice mixed with Sesame Street Big Bird. And I got a laugh out of that playa'."
"You think that's funny Teddy? You're not gonna get a laugh out of next week when I run SmackDown, and show you and the Board of directors how it should be done right."
"And you won't be laughing when I run Raw this Monday. And as for your coffee sipping sap right there, he will be going one on one with the over 7 foot, 350 pound giant the Great Khali. Now I suggest to the both of you, get to stepping, get out of my office, before I put some stank on ya'."
"Teddy you need to calm down a little bit. You may wanna try some yoga." Laurinaitis says before he and Otunga leave.
"I am not looking forward to that next week."
"Neither am I."
"Not going to be a fun night."
"Not really."
During the break, they watch as Heath comes out for his match, and he waits in the ring for a while until his opponent comes out, who is Santino.
"Wendy HAD to be here...I hope Santino kicks his ass!"
After strutting around the ring, Santino gets in. The bell rings, starting the match. Santino throws his shirt in the crowd then does a split to avoid a punch by Slater and follows with a hiptoss, but Slater gets his knees up and blocks a headbutt. He kicks Santino a few times then they trade punches, and Santino runs the ropes but Slater connects with a heel kick for a two count. Slater goes up top but Santino shakes the ropes and gets him to fall on the turnbuckles, then Santino hits the Cobra and drags Slater away from the ropes and makes the cover.
"Haha! Take that Wendy!"
"That's what he gets for flirting with you last week."
"Good. I hope he gets it."
It's a while before there's another segment and this time it's Eve backstage, making sure she looks perfect.
"Hoeski.." Vi glares.
"Hey Eve, uh...I know we have a match coming up next but there's something I really need to talk to you about." Nattie says, coming into the locker room.
"Go ahead."
"Uh you and I haven't always seem eye to eye but um...I want you to know that what you're doing to Zack is inexcusable. Zack is a really good person, he's a genuine person Eve."
"This is what you wanted to talk to me about before our match? Thank you Natalya for being the TMZ breaking news story of the week...you think I haven't been hearing this for the past two weeks? At least I'm honest enough to admit that I used Zack. And while I'm being honest, while Zack may have been sweet and genuine, he really stinks."
"Now that was going to far. Zack is a great person!"
Then it's the farting thing that they have Nattie doing again. Eve makes a face in disgust, but Nattie smiles.
"No Eve...THAT stinks." She continues grinning and leaves.
Eve puts a hand over her mouth. "How...dare you?" She says, grabbing a nearby scarf and covering her mouth with that.
"Haha. She told you Eve."
"Not so tough now is she?"
"I think not. About time someone told her how it is."
Natalya was the first one out and she waited a while until Eve came out next. The whole crowd boos her and her smile fades from her face as she struts down to the ring and gets into it.
"I really do not care to see THAT out there."
"No one does."
Natalya does a cartwheel to get out of an armbar, then she runs at Eve and rolls her up for two before escaping another armbar. They both kip up then Eve slaps Natalya, and Natalya runs at her but she gets knocked down and put in a choke submission. Natalya escapes the hold and goes for a rollup, but Eve reverses it and holds Natalya's legs and gets the win.
"Are you kidding? That was not even a match!"
"You know how the matches are."
"Yea, but at least Charity and I gave them something they could enjoy."
"You, Scar, and Charity are the only ones that can give people the better matches."
"'Cause we know how to make things exciting. We do not mess around out there like some of the others do."
"Exactly."
"The Divas now a days." Vi shakes her head.
Cody now comes out with Charity, and they go down to the ring this time instead of staying at the top of the ramp. He gets a mic and stands in the middle of the ring to talk, Charity next to him.
"Wonder how he is going to embarrass Big Show this week."
"Last week I chronicled the Big Show's pock marked, crater laden rear end, suffering an embarrassing loss to Aki Bono at WrestleMania 21." Cody says and the picture of Show's rear end was shown in that sumo diaper thing.
"I did not want to see that again...Thanks Cody.."
"And this past Monday night on Raw, Floyd Mayweather knocking out the Big Show at WrestleMania 24, was the embarrassing moment dejour." Cody continues, showing a picture of that.
"I still do not know how he did that..."
"Now if you hear it from Show, I'm at the top, the tippy top of his you know what list, because I cost the Big Show the opportunity to go to WrestleMania. Well Show, I hope it's a thank you list. Because I saved you sir. Saved you the embarrassment of floundering yet again on the grandest stage of them all."
"Got a point there. He has not done that well there."
"Listen...listen. I know you're the world's largest athlete. I know you're a former World Heavyweight Champion. You're one of the biggest stars in all of the WWE. You're The Big Show, but at the big show..haha...you're a choke artist."
"Sad, but true."
"Need proof? WWE has some pretty extensive archives when it comes to Big Show's most embarrassing WrestleMania moments. If you look, they'll just keep coming. For example..." Cody's interrupted by Show's music.
"Uh oh. This is not going to go to well."
Cody stands there as he glares at Show as he walks down to the ring and gets into it. But as soon as he gets into it, Cody drops his mic and ushers Charity out of the ring first, before following her. They both escape through the crowd.
"Come on Cody. Stand up to him."
"Cody! Cody! Hold on a second. Hold on a second. Where are you going? You don't have to leave, I mean hey I wanna come out here and watch your next video segment. I mean I can laugh at myself, I mean sometimes I'm pretty funny. Well...sometimes. Come on back down man. Come on Cody, we can watch this together like friends."
"Friends? Yea right. He knows you better than that."
"Now Cody, well...I mean if you're not gonna come back down here, then uh well...I guess I just have to come get you don't I?"
Show goes to get out of the ring to get Cody, but Teddy's music stops him.
"Thank god for that. Good thing Charity is safe."
"Show...wait a minute. Just a minute Show. Alright...now Show, listen. Now this...I understand, but let me explain something to you. Now I can't have you bursting out into the audience sending people flying like the running of the bulls or something playa', alright? Wait wait wait. Now I know you and I talked about this, and I'll tell you what..it's a done deal. Now Cody, you want to talk about a WrestleMania moment? Well guess what playa', you got one. When you put you Intercontinental championship on the line at WrestleMania!"
"Uh...That is not good..."
"Against...The Big Show!"
"WHAT?" Vi and Justin clearly see Charity say as she stands there in the crowd next to Cody.
"That is not going to be good at all.."
"Now Show, I know you've got some other business to take care of with the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry."
Then Mark's music goes off and he walks out for his match against Show up next.
"This again?" Vi rolls her eyes.
A bit into the match, Cody and Charity come back for commentary.
"Big Show was quite excited about our upcoming WrestleMania match, but he's got his hands full in the match with the World's Strongest Man Mark Henry."
"I wanna know why you was running Cody." Booker T adds.
"Why was I running? I'm not disputing who the Big Show is. Like I said, he's a choke artist."
"Not to mention crazy."
"You didn't answer the question."
"He did answer the question Booker, weren't you listening?" Charity asks.
"Exactly. The Big Show is an every day player, he isn't a game day player, WrestleMania's game day."
"He better hope that happens."
"Mark Henry with those steel steps in his hands!" Cole exclaims.
"For god's sake..." Booker trails off.
"You're not gonna make it to WrestleMania." Coday says calmly.
"We can only hope."
Mark screams and throws the steel steps, but Show moves at the last second, making the steps bounce off the ring post.
"Speaking of hurting one another, I think Big Show's hurt his ribs right here on the outside strut." Cody says.
"Looks like he hurt your ribs when you was running over that barrier Cody."
"Oh it's always the same...it's always the same. I don't know how many times I'm gonna tell you Booker..." He trails off.
"...he wasn't running away from the Big Show, he was buying his time." Charity finishes for Cody.
"Aint that the truth."
"If it looks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, it's a duck in my hood." Booker comments.
"Charity does that make any sense?" Cody asks her.
"None at all." She shakes her head.
"He needs to stop trying to be funny."
Show is laying by the corner and Mark climbs it going for that splash move he does or whatever it is. He lands it successfully.
"Again, on the ribs of the Big Show." Cody points out.
But Big Show kicks out.
"Well Cody, as we were referring to earlier, Mark Henry exposed the pulley that tie the turnbuckle to the steel post. The steel was exposed and Big Show went rib first into that steel and since then Big Show has not been able to recover." Cole explains.
"And favoring the ribs, I told you. Favoring the ribs."
"Not good for Show, but good for Cody."
"Cody, that's your WrestleMania opponent, the giant, the Big Show. How're you feeling now knowing that you have to face this man in 30 nights at WrestleMania?" Josh asks, after watching Show spear Mark Henry.
"I'll answer that Josh. Cody's not worried about anything. Have you seen the Big Show's record at WrestleMania? It's not very good." Charity answers.
"She's got a point."
"But Big Show was on a winning team last year at WrestleMania."
"Statistically the odds are in my favor." Cody replies.
"He is right. Big Show has not done so well at the past Wrestlemanias."
After a World's Strongest Slam, Henry covers Show, but Show kicks out. Henry gets another near fall then he gets up and runs at Show, but he runs right into a Knockout Punch and Show makes the cover to win.
"Cody needs to watch out for the punch of Show's."
"Everyone Show faces has to watch out for that."
True. If he gets that, then it is not going to be good."
Cody takes the headset off, putting the IC title over his shoulder as he stares Big Show down. Charity takes her head set off and stands up herself, grabbing Cody's free hand. The screen then fades to Teddy backstage walking around and he spots Drew.
"Drew, there you are playa', been looking everywhere for you. Now Drew, now you know I've been cutting you a lot of slack playa. And if you didn't start winning, I was going to have to let you go."
"I know that sir, but you know circumstances..."
"Tonight it's do or die. If you lose, you're fired."
"Sorry Drew, guess you are getting fired."
"Teddy you can't be serious."
"Good luck to you." He says, walking off.
"Teddy, come on, please. Damn it."
"He is going to need all the luck he can get."
Then Cole, Booker and Josh talk about Drew possibly getting fired, then they talk about Randy being back tonight and getting revenge on Daniel and then they play again what Daniel did to him last month on Raw. Backstage Randy is in the locker room with Matt Striker for an interview.
"Randy, welcome back, how do you feel?"
"I'm fine, and for a while there I wasn't feeling myself. But now, I am back to normal. And by normal, I mean angry."
"That is the Randy we all know and want to see."
"Cold-blooded and hell bent on getting revenge on Daniel Bryan for what he did. I'm not talking about my concussion. This goes beyond physical pain. Daniel Bryan cost me the opportunity to walk into WrestleMania as world champion. And I don't think he fully appreciates how steep a price he's gonna have to pay. And tonight...I collect."
"Someone is in trrooobbbblllleeee."
"Good, he deserves it." Justin chuckles.
"He does. That was a cheap shot to Randy and he should not have done it. What a coward."
"Right. Well I have to get ready for the match."
"Awww." She pouts. "Don't be too long." She adds, pouting her lip.
"You know I will be going out with you."
"Of course." He says, kissing her quickly before getting up and going to change.
While Justin is changing she walks over to the door and leans against is while she waits or him. Once he walks out she bites her lip seeing he has no shirt on. "Mmmm...My sexy werewolf."
"You know it." He chuckles.
"All mine." She says, looking him up and down, biting her lip.
Justin walks over and takes her hand and laces their fingers, kissing her on the cheek before they head out. They leave his locker room and head to the curtain and wait for him to go out. Drew goes out first and not too long after that, Vi and Justin go out. Instead of getting into the ring with him like always, she stays on the outside after he kisses her quickly and gets into the ring himself.
"You got this babe!" She calls once he is done all his poses.
After a while after the bell rings, Drew uppercuts Justin and gets a two count, then Drew whips him off the ropes and avoids a spinning heel kick and clotheslines him for another near fall. Drew punches him in the corner and hits a few short-armed clotheslines, then tries to hit a backbreaker but Justin counters with a headscissors takedown. Justin goes up top and hits a 450 splash for the win, then Drew gets up and realizes what happened and Teddy Long appears on the Titantron and fires him.
"Yes!" Vi cheers. "Uh oh..." She says after hearing Teddy talk.
She then walks over to Justin and kisses his cheek as they head up the ramp.
"Now we can go back to the hotel after you change."
"Finally!" Justin says happy wrapping his arm around her.
On their way back to his locker room, they pass by Cody and Charity as they're on their way out to head back themselves. "Hey guys!" Vi says once they see them.
"Heyy." Charity greets.
"Nice job on commentary tonight."
"Thanks."
"Too bad about your match though Cody. I know you will win."
"Oh I know I will too."
"Of course."
"On your way out?" Vi asks.
"Yea. Long day." Charity says.
"Much needed time alone." Cody adds, pulling Charity to his side.
"Like always." Vi giggles.
"Hey. You do the same thing." Charity laughs.
"And if Scar was here, we'd be saying that she does the same thing."
"Can't blame us can we."
"Not really."
"That is because we are the best." Justin grins.
"Well we won't keep you from that quality alone time."
"Thanks." Charity giggles. "See you later." She says as her and Cody walk off.
As Charity and Cody walk off, so does Justin and Vi, walking the rest of the way to his locker room. Once they get there and walk in, she pulls Justin over to her and gives him a long, hard kiss. Before he can respond, she pulls away. "That was for winning tonight." She smirks after pulling away.
"Why thank you." He grins.
"Anything for you." She smiles, running her hands across his chest. "Now go get changed so we can get out of here." She adds.
"Right." He nods, heading to change.
As Justin is getting changed, she just gets a few things ready before they head out. Once Justin comes out and is ready, they head out of the arena to the car and head back to the hotel. Charity and Cody are already at the hotel, and changed for bed, currently laying there cuddling. Charity is laying on Cody's chest just drawing patterns on his chest with her nails as he runs his fingers along her arm. "Tonight was...interesting..." Charity says a bit warily.
"It was." He agrees.
"Just sucks you have to go against him." Charity sighs.
"I know, but what can you do..."
"Hope for the best."
"Even though I know you will win." She adds.
"Right. Statistically I can't lose."
"No you can not and you will not. I have that feeling."
"As long as I have your support..." He grins, kissing her head.
"You will ALWAYS have my support."
"And you will always have my support." He adds.
"Of course I will." Charity smiles. "I love you too much to not support you."
"And I love you."
"I think I love you more." She giggles.
"No, I think I love you more."
"I don't know..." Charity bites her lip.
"...I think so." He chuckles.
"I do love you a lot. More than you could ever know." Charity blushes.
He smiles and leans down, kissing her briefly before pulling away. Charity smiles and keeps tracing patterns on his chest, sighing in content. "These are the moments I love." She murmurs.
"Can never get enough of it."
"No we can not. Which is why I enjoy every moment of it."
"So do I."
"Can't get any better than this."
"Not at all."
Charity then leans up and kisses Cody on the cheek and snuggles into him while he wraps his arm around her pulling her closer to him. She soon ends up falling asleep to the sound of his heartbeat and Cody follows shortly after. Meanwhile Justin and Vi have gotten back to the hotel a short time ago and they're getting ready to change and lay down themselves. Vi was currently looking for something to wear, having a bit of trouble.
"Need help?" Justin asks.
"I think I do."
"Say no more." He says, walking over to help.
She watches in amusement as Justin looks for the right thing for her to wear. Once he finds something he likes, he turns to her. "Nice choice." She smiles.
"I thought so."
"Well thank you." She smiles and kisses the corner of his mouth. She then goes into the bathroom and changes, taking off all her makeup. She lets her hair down and brushes it out before walking out and heading for bed.
"Beautiful." Justin smiles as she climbs into bed and under the blankets.
"As you always say." She smiles, snuggling into him. "And are you trying to kill me?" She asks.
"I always sleep like this." He chuckles.
"I know, and it kills me every time you do."
"Good to know."
"What can I say? You are just that good looking to me."
"So are you."
"Am not..." She blushes.
"Yes you are."
"Alright. Only because YOU say I am."
"It's true."
"I am glad you see it. I don't."
"I know you don't, but I'm not gonna stop proving it to you."
"I would not doubt that. You have not stopped yet."
"Because I love you."
"And I love you too. Which is why I appreciate everything you do for me."
"I'm glad." He grins, kissing her briefly.
She holds Justin there for a bit longer, not wanting to let go just yet. Once she feels better, she pulls away and lays on his chest, just running her nails across it gently. Justin reaches over and turns off the light, and gets more comfortable in his spot.
"Night. Love you." She whispers getting more comfortable herself as Justin starts to run his fingers over her arm.
"Night Vi, love you too."
She smiles to herself and soon goes to sleep and Justin shortly follows after watching her for a bit.
