SmackDown Filming: January 12, 2010

"I'm so upset about this." I tell Michelle. "After everything we've been through to fight for this, it's still no."

"I am not any happier about this than you are." Michelle mutters.

"They're literally splitting Maryse from the group on Monday."

"At least you and Eve are still together."

"For now. I'm not sure how long that'll last."

"Hopefully you'll still have a while with Eve. How's everything with you and Randy?"

"Good, how's things with John?"

"We're doing great."

"I'm glad to hear that."

"Yeah, at least our relationships are doing great right now because work obviously isn't."

"At least this Tag Team match tonight can be like one last stand with the two of us as allies."

"Agreed, if only the girls could have been allowed to join us tonight."

"We can't accompany you two to the ring tonight?" Eve asks as she and Maryse enter the locker-room.

"Yeah...unfortunately no one is allowed to be at ringside. You two can't and neither can Layla."

"That's such bullshit." Maryse comments.

"I completely agree, especially considering you're getting split from the group on Monday." I add.

"This is so stupid. We proved plenty enough why we shouldn't be split up. I'm so pissed."

"I think we all are."

"We have the right to be. We put so much work into getting this to happen in the first place." Michelle comments.

"I'm even doubtful Marissa and I will still be allies for much longer." Eve sighs.

"Me too honestly." I put my head in my hands.

"So there's seriously nothing we can do now?" Maryse questions.

"Unfortunately, I think we're out of luck."

"This is the worst. We had such a good thing going on. We were even drawing in viewers, not only for just us but for the entire Divas division."

"I think they'll realize they made a mistake in splitting us up, but we're out of options."

Michelle shakes her head. "They killed one of the best things in the company right now. They screwed up. We're just gonna have to prove them wrong."

I smile. "That's something I completely agree with."

After talking to the girls, I figured going to see Randy would lift my spirits some, and I knew exactly where Randy was at the moment. I go to Ted and Cody's locker-room and walk in.

"They want to break up Legacy…" Ted mutters.

"Huh?" I ask before actually realizing what Ted had said. "Wait...what?!?"

"They want to…"

"I heard you. What the hell?"

"Rissa…" Randy pulls me to him. "Take a second. Calm down."

"Okay...okay...why do they want to split you?"

"Creative sucks."

"Good point, but I'm supposed to be informed of these things since I'm representing Stephanie right now."

"Uh oh. Boss Lady getting mad." Cody comments.

"I'm not really a boss. I just give them what Stephanie thinks. They don't even really like me."

"True, I guess you would've had no issue with convincing them to keep the Divas of Domination together if you were the actual boss."

"Yeah…on the topic of that actually…"

"What happened?" Randy asks with concern.

"You guys weren't the only ones who got news about your faction today."

"And?"

I sigh. "We're getting split. Maryse is getting split from us on Monday. Eve and I are still together for now, but neither of us are expecting that to last long."

"I should go check on Ryse." Ted stands up.

"I'm gonna go find Eve. See you guys later." Cody follows Ted out of the room.

Randy pulls me onto his lap. "How are you feeling about this?"

I lean on Randy. "I'm so pissed. I'm pissed about my group getting split up. I'm pissed about your group getting split up. I'm just so pissed."

"You can't do anything?"

"Not for my group. I may try to see about Legacy, but I'm doubtful I can do anything about that either."

"This sucks."

"No kidding."

"Do you know what you're gonna do career wise now after your group is split up?"

"I guess just focus on being Women's Champion. If I'm not Women's Champion by the time Eve and I are split up, I guess I'll go after the Divas Championship."

"Sounds like a plan." Randy smiles. "But just so you know, since both of our factions are getting split up, I think that's a great excuse for us to do more together on TV."

"I couldn't agree more." I kiss Randy. "Just so you know, I'll manage you anytime."

All the ladies tell the fellas

We can do what they can do

We can do it even better in broken heels…

"This is a Divas match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the team of Michelle McCool and the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

("Glamazon" plays)

"And their opponents, first, from Buffalo, New York, Beth Phoenix!"

("Obsession" plays)

"And her partner, from Richmond, Virginia, Mickie James!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Michelle started the match against Beth. They exchanged Right Hands with each other. I watched on eagerly, glad to see Michelle keeping up with Beth. Michelle gained the upper hand and hit Beth with a Big Boot. Michelle pins Beth.

1...2…

Mickie breaks the pin. She hits Michelle with a MickDT. I hit Mickie with the Picture Perfect. Beth hits me with a Glam Slam. Michelle hits Beth with a Faithbreaker. Michelle pins Beth.

1...2...kickout!

Michelle tags me in. Beth tags in Mickie. I hit Mickie with a Thesz Press and unload punches on her. The referee pulls me off. Mickie tackles me to the ground. I roll out of the ring. Mickie followed me. I caught her off guard with a Superkick. I grab Mickie and roll her into the ring. Michelle runs to Beth's side of the ring and pulls her off the apron. I hit Mickie with the Chaotic Ending and pin her.

1...2...3!

"Here are your winners, Michelle McCool and Marissa!"

We celebrate in the ring together. This was likely the last time Michelle and I could be allies on TV for a while, but I was glad to have this last chance with my best friend.

Michelle pulls me into a hug. "Thank you so much. I love working with you, and you're a great best friend."

I hug Michelle back. "Same here. Thank you."

Michelle and I exit the ring together and head backstage to meet up with Eve and Maryse in guerilla.

"So what now?" Eve asks.

I smile. "We prove them wrong."
