Raw: June 8, 2009
I walked around backstage with the WWE Women's Championship around my waist. Michelle had tried to take me out last night, but she didn't get the job done. Everyone I walked by looked at me with shock. After last night, everyone thought I was going to take a break, but I wasn't. I knew the attack last night was rough for what Divas usually go through, but at the end of the day, I'm the WWE Women's Champion. I couldn't just let this slide.
However, Randy, being distracted from his match because I got attacked, lost his championship last night, and while he said to me that it wasn't my fault, I still felt bad. Before I entered the arena for Raw tonight, no one thought I'd show up. At first, I didn't even plan on showing up, but after thinking while in bed with Randy last night, that changed. I was upset that what happened with Michelle happened, but I wasn't going to let it stop me from being here.
Most of the Divas didn't show up after the brawl and attack last night. The only ones that I was certain did were Michelle and me, though I figured there was a good chance Layla or Alicia may be around. Maryse and Eve were going to come, but they were obviously in pain, seemingly worse than I was, so they stayed at the hotel.
I saw and knocked on Legacy's locker-room door. Randy opened the door with a concerned look.
"Rissa...there you are, babe." Randy tells me as he gives me a look of concern.
I shrugged. "Yeah, here I am."
"Are you doing okay? I know you're still feeling the effects of what happened last night."
"I am, but I needed to be here. Everything is getting ready to change tonight. I want to be here for the change that's coming...and kick Michelle's ass. I'm in a bit of a mood to get some revenge."
"Knew it. And I understand." Randy stepped out of the way. "Come in."
I walked into Legacy's locker-room. "Thanks. So...when are you cashing in your rematch clause?"
"I'm not. Legacy has decided to go to the alternative." Randy gave me a devilish smirk.
"You're taking John out of action."
"You know it." Randy says before kissing me.
The kiss starts off like normal, but the further we get into it, the more deep it gets. It turns into the deepest kiss we have. I pull away for breath.
"Damn." I gasp.
"That was very...damn." Randy mutters.
We're about to talk some more when someone knocks on the door. I open the door and come face-to-face with the last person I'd expect.
"Trish." I say with surprise. "Come here! How have you been?."
We embrace. Trish Stratus and I are very close. We met in 2004 when I was in the original Diva Search, and we immediately clicked. When WWE decided to sign me after I was eliminated, she decided to help train me. She helped me get to where I am today.
"Why are you here?" I ask.
"I was originally here to watch only, but then I heard that Eve and Maryse weren't here and supposedly, Michelle is sneaking Layla in to surprise you. So I decided I wanted to help you." Trish explains. "It's not like the two of us haven't worked together plenty before."
Randy walks over to wrap his arms around me. "Does this mean the Devious Duo is back?"
Trish smiles. "Hell yeah."
Take your past, burn it up and let it go
Carry on, I'm stronger than you'll ever know
That's the deal, you get no respect
You're gonna get yours
You better watch your f'n neck…
To Be Loved by Papa Roach plays as the opening fireworks go off, and Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw and talk about last night.
You're not enough for me (Oh no no)
Just another man in love with me (Just another man ooh)
Gotta open up your eyes and see (hey, hey Oh well)
You're not enough for me (oh no)...
Michelle and Layla walk out to the ring and Michelle grabs a microphone.
"Everyone wants to know why." Michelle says as she walks around the ring. "Why did you do it, Michelle? Why? I'll tell you why. I did it because I was sick and tired of Marissa. She got everything she wanted, and I was pushed to the side. And I'm tired of it."
I know I want that girl so bad
I lie awake at night
And think of all the things that I would do
With a girl like that…
I walk down to the end of the ramp and grab a microphone. "That is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard."
Michelle smirks. "Oh, are you scared of a two on one fight, Marissa? I know Maryse and Eve aren't here."
"Actually, Michelle. I've got someone to even up the odds. You see, unlike you, I know the value of making sure a friendship lasts, and it just so happens that an old friend reached out to offer some help to ensure that I can get some revenge on you tonight."
Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha, Oh!
Oh it's time to rock and roll.
This time I'm in control.
Right now I own the streets.
I got the keys to the city.
That's cause I get down…
The crowd explodes at this. Michelle and Layla's jaws are wide open.
Michelle start to laugh. "Trish Stratus? Such a has been."
"You two are such bitches." I comment as Trish and I enter the ring.
"What are you going to do about it?" Michelle says as we stand face-to-face.
"Something I should've done a long time ago." I reply before slapping her to the ground.
I start attacking her. Trish starts attacking Layla. Layla quickly escapes, but I still have Michelle. Layla has to help her out.
"We aren't done, bitch!" I yell. "This is far from over!"
"Ted, you came up with an amazing plan." I say.
"I must agree for once. It is a pretty good plan." Cody adds.
"Um...thanks." Ted mumbles.
"Okay. We figured out how we will get Cena, but what are we going to do with you, Marissa?" Randy asks.
"Why me?" I retorted.
"Michelle's going to be coming after you. I'm not leaving you out in the open for her. She'll jump you backstage or something."
"Let me go with you." I tell him.
"But Marissa…"
"Please, Randal. I'll stay out of it, but I want to watch it up close."
"Are you sure? It's going to be very violent."
"I'll be fine. Without Michelle, the Divas of Domination are Legacy's girls. Ted just needs to ask Maryse out. We're constantly around you guys. Plus, we're professional wrestlers, Randy. We're pretty used to violence."
"Fine, you win. Don't get yourself hurt."
"Do you really think I'll get hurt? With there being all three of you, will John even be able to get near me? I highly doubt it."
"I get that. I'm just a tad overprotective."
"A tad?"
"Maybe more than a tad, but still, if you got hurt because of being around something I was doing, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself."
"I know how to handle myself, Randy. Don't you worry about me."
"I guess you're right. I'm sorry."
Ted gives a small chuckle. "Man, Randy, she owns you."
I roll my eyes. "Ya know, Ted, this may be why you don't have a girlfriend."
"I would if I wanted one."
"If that was the case, you'd be dating Maryse by now." Cody comments.
"I could ask her out whenever I decide to."
"It's funny because I'm pretty sure you've had feelings for her longer than I've had feelings for Eve and Randy's had feelings for Marissa, and you still haven't asked her out."
"I will one day, and you're gonna look real dumb when it happens."
Your time is up, my time is now
You can't see me, my time is now
It's the franchise, boy I'm shinin now
You can't see me, my time is now!..
"Last night, I beat Randy Orton for this." He holds up his title. "Now it's time to find a new…"
I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They talk to me…
The trio and I walk out, and Randy has a microphone in his hand.
"John, I know you were about to say it's time to find a new number one contender, but we won't be needing to find a new number one contender because you won't be champion." Randy tells John.
Ted and Cody slip in the ring with chairs, and Randy follows suit after kissing me on the cheek. They attack him, and Randy snaps John's leg with his chair. John cries out and the boys roll out of the ring. Randy grabs me and pulls me in a kiss.
While I got that this was a work thing at the end of the day and hadn't really been thrilled with Cena lately, I felt uncomfortable just a little after watching that. I knew John was hurt. It just didn't rub me quite the right way.
Randy pulled me even closer. "I'm going to be WWE Champion once again very soon. We'll sit at the top of the company as our rightful place once again."
I nod. "Absolutely."
We make it to the stage. Randy takes one more look at John before smirking. Randy walked backstage with me walking right with him, and Ted and Cody were following right behind.
I look at Randy. "That injury is gonna be nasty."
Randy nods at me. "I know, but John and I have always agreed that whatever happens out there is just business. He won't hold it against me at all."
