Smackdown Filming: June 9, 2009
A few more of the Divas, including Eve, came to the show today. Some, including Maryse, still stayed at their respective hotels.
Eve and I sat in Legacy's locker-room with Ted, Randy, and Cody, just talking and hanging out. I sat on Randy's lap while Eve sat and leaned on Cody. Ted just laid on the ground and stared at the ceiling.
"That beatdown on Michelle last night was awesome, Marissa. Too bad it didn't last longer." Eve comments.
"I know. I was enjoying it." I replied.
"You just wanted to kick her ass." Ted adds grumpily.
"Aw...is Ted missing Maryse?" Cody asks.
"Of course he is, Cody." Randy laughs.
"I miss her because she's the only other one not in a relationship." Ted retorted.
"She would be if you asked her out, Ted." Eve tells him.
"Then we would all be with the members of Legacy." I mutter.
"You'd be Legacy's Ladies." Randy says.
"How long have you been waiting to use that one?"
"Two days."
"That's short, but I like the ring of that. Ted, you got to ask Maryse out."
"I'll eventually do it if I decide to do it." Ted tells me.
"If you keep waiting because of fear of rejection, you're never going to get anywhere."
"Well, I don't think just kissing her and then confessing my feelings is likely going to work."
Randy pulls me closer. "Hey, don't be mad that it worked for me. I just did something that worked out, but she's right. To get a chance with Maryse, you may need to take a chance to ask."
I nod. "Exactly, but to be honest, if you and I hadn't known each other for so long, I wouldn't have been so okay with you kissing me like that."
"I hear you. I wouldn't have done it to just anyone."
"Good. Man, you're great though."
"I know."
I roll my eyes. "Whatever."
"And you'll be telling me how great I am once we're at the hotel tonight."
"Not if you keep acting like that. We got to go. Eve has a match against Layla."
"Bye." The boys say as I'm on my way out the door.
Randy's P.O.V.
After Marissa and Eve leave, Cody speaks up.
"I thought you wanted to get more serious with your relationship and give Marissa a promise ring." Cody says to me.
"I am. I just haven't given her it yet." I show them the ring.
"That's a beautiful ring, Randy, but you need to give it to her soon. Chris never gave her one, so it'll prove to her that this relationship is going to not involve you cheating on her considering your past." Ted tells me.
"I know, Ted. She's special. I want to make sure she knows that I don't plan on having any more one night stands. I'm ready to change. I'm planning on giving it to her after Eve's match."
"You better, Randal." Ted and Cody comment at the same time.
"I will. I know something like this is usually something that younger people, high schoolers maybe even, do, but I feel like this is the kind of gesture she needs from me. She's never voiced any concerns about me cheating, but we've not even discussed my past habit of having a lot of one night stands. Plus, with Chris cheating on her, I don't doubt she does have some fear about it."
"Who could blame her?" Ted asks. "She does have some valid reasons to have that fear."
"I'm well aware, Ted."
"Good, also tread lightly when doing this. Most couples don't involve a promise ring after only a month."
"I'm aware, but this case gives me valid reasons for this. I know her very well. I'll do what I can to not overwhelm her."
Eve's P.O.V.
All the ladies tell the fellas
We can do what they can do
We can do it even better in broken heels…
Marissa and I walk out in leather jackets, boots, black shorts, and the DoD t-shirt.
"This match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Denver, Colorado, being accompanied to the ring by the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa, Eve Torres!"
When we enter the ring, we drop our jackets and wait for Layla and Michelle.
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 enter with matching attire.
"And her opponent, from Miami, Florida, being accompanied to the ring by Michelle McCool, Layla!"
They enter the ring, and Marissa and Michelle exit so the match can start. I remember what Marissa said. Be aggressive.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Layla immediately clothelines me. I get right back up. Layla goes to kick me in the face, but I grab her leg and throw her on the ground. I stomp on her head. I go for it again, but she grabs my foot to throw me on the ground. She grabs my neck and put me in a sleeper hold. I struggle to get out. Layla is yelling at me to tap, but I won't. Marissa starts getting the audience riled up. I start hearing the crowd chanting my name. I get out of the sleeper hold. I nail Layla in the face constantly with punches and kicks. When she is weak enough, I go up to the turnbuckle. Michelle tries to pull me down, but Marissa attacks her from behind. I do my Evesault from the top rope and go for a pin.
1…2…3!
"Here is your winner, Eve!"
I roll out of the ring when Michelle enters it. Marissa grabs me and Michelle stares at us.
"Get back here!" Michelle yells at us.
Marissa and I share a look and before we both just laugh at Michelle before heading backstage.
Marissa's P.O.V.
I hugged Eve when we got backstage.
"Michelle was pissed." Eve laughed.
I laugh. "Just imagine how pissed she'll be when Ryse gets involved."
We walk towards Legacy's locker-room, but Randy is outside the room when we get there.
"Go on Eve. I got to talk to my girlfriend alone." Randy says to Eve.
"Okay." Eve goes to head inside the locker-room.
"Now I'm worried." I comment.
"Don't be." Randy calmly tells me.
"Okay. Why are we out here?"
"I need to say something. I love you, Marissa. You are very special. And I want to promise you that I'm not going to hurt you, cheat on you. I promise you that you are the only one for me. So this is yours, a promise ring."
"I'm speechless, Randy. I wasn't expecting this at all. I love it." I tell him as he slides it on my left middle finger.
Randy kisses me softly. "I'm ready for us to become more serious."
I smile. "Me too."
"I know you've dealt with some crap in the past with your ex from college and with Chris. I know that my past probably doesn't help the worries that I'm sure are in the back of your mind, but I'm going to remain loyal. You're the only woman for me. I know it's early to give you something like this, but I feel like you could use some reassurance."
"It is early, but I don't mind. I might actually cry a little. Thank you."
"Of course. It may be a little early to say I love you, but I already said it a few minutes ago. May as well say it again because it's true. I love you."
"I love you too. I think we can move a bit quicker than most couples though since we've known each other for so long."
"You're probably right about that. You're amazing."
"So are you."
