SmackDown Filming: June 16, 2009
"Muscle and Fitness Hers?" Nikki asks as we sit in Catering by ourselves.
"Yeah. I'm going there on Saturday for a photoshoot. I'm going to be on the cover in September." I replied.
"That's cool. So did you and Randy celebrate last night?"
"Yeah."
"How?"
I look down and blush.
Nikki giggles at me. "I get what you mean. Dolph told me we're doing the same thing when he wins a title."
"We're dating perverts."
"No kidding."
"So I hear you and Brie are getting into a rivalry with Natalya and Beth on screen."
"It's true."
"That's great for you two. You two haven't really had the chance to really show off on TV yet. This may be that chance."
"That's what I'm hoping for. It's hard to get those kinds of chances though, especially for us Divas."
"You're preaching to the choir about that. I completely get it."
"How'd you do it? You're in a pretty good spot."
"I got lucky enough to get their attention after I eliminated Melina in that Battle Royal at WrestleMania. They were willing to give a shot in a Number One Contender's match. I took it and won that much. I had a lot of anxiety heading into my Women's Championship match at Backlash. I knew how hard it would be to get another chance if I didn't win."
"But you did win. But didn't you have a reign before that?"
"I did, back in 2006. It wasn't even for a month though. Plus, I know the only reason I got that opportunity was because they decided to do a tournament after Trish retired as champion and vacated it."
"I see."
"I'm glad we at least have a second championship in the division now. I don't particularly care for the design of the Divas Championship, but we needed this."
"I couldn't agree more."
"But Beth has been Women's Champion. You and Brie could use this rivalry with Beth and Natalya to get the right attention."
"That's what I'm hoping for."
"No!" Cody yells as I enter Legacy's locker-room.
I look at him confused. "What's going on?"
"Cody's just mad cause he is losing horribly at Sorry." Randy comments as he motions for me to sit.
"Why are you playing Sorry?"
"We got bored." Eve tells me.
"Okay. Where's Maryse and Ted?"
"Went somewhere private. Ted's supposedly going to finally ask her today?" Cody explains.
"Really? Did we pester him into it so badly that he did it?"
"I guess so."
I sit down as the door opens. Maryse and Ted walk in together, holding hands.
"He actually did it." Randy says in disbelief.
"Yes, he did, Randy. Stop picking on him now." Maryse tells Randy.
"Fine. It's official that you three are Legacy's Ladies." Randy pulls me closer to him and kisses my forehead.
"We're going to hear that a lot aren't we?" I ask.
"Just because you asked, you will."
"That's fine with me. I've got the leader."
"And you're happy about it."
"Of course." I kissed him.
"Good luck tonight."
"Thanks, Randy."
"Anyway," Cody starts to say. "Ted, we're all glad you finally asked Maryse out because you were gonna risk losing your chance if you didn't."
Maryse sits on the couch. "I actually knew that Ted had feelings for me. They've been mutual feelings, but I didn't want him to feel pressured into a relationship. I was waiting to see if he would make a move."
Ted sighs. "Am I really that obvious?"
"Yes, but I think it's adorable."
"What I'm hearing is that Marissa and I can get him back for the harassment he's given us since we've gotten together." Randy comments.
"Honestly, he's been harassing me and Eve too." Cody adds.
Ted rolls his eyes. "Randy, it's only been about a month and a half. Get over it. Cody, it's been a week since I found out about your relationship. What can you even complain about?"
I laugh. "You make a point about Cody, but you have been harassing me and Randy a lot. And I can hold a grudge."
"I'm not scared of you, Marissa."
"You should be. I may take my sweet time to mess with you, but I'm changing the topic for now. How did three relationships form between the members of our factions just within a month and a half? That's kinda nuts."
"Let's be real. We've all pretty much just been spending time with each other since you and Randy got together." Cody tells me. "It was encouraging this. Plus, Ted has had feelings for forever. It was inevitable for them."
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 tag team match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Eve Torres, the team of Marissa and Maryse, the Divas of Domination!"
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)...
"And the opponents, being accompanied to the ring by Layla, the team of Michelle McCool and Alicia Fox!"
They enter the ring. Alicia and I start the match off. We lock up and Alicia kicks me in the gut. She Irish Whips me into the corner. Alicia goes for a clothesline, but I dodge and tag Maryse in. Maryse and Alicia go back and forth with right hands until Maryse hits the French TKO. Michelle tags herself in. She hits Maryse with her Big Boot and goes for a pin.
1…2…kickout!
Maryse is faster and makes it to me. I run in and clothesline Michelle multiple times before she hits me with the Big Boot. She goes for a pin.
1…kickout!
Michelle then tries to put me in the Heel Hook; however, I kicked her in the face to counter. I get up and Clothesline her. I put her in the Figure Four Leglock. She struggles but makes it to the ropes. We both get up and she hits another Big Boot. She picks me up and goes for the Faithbreaker, but I manage to recover and get to the point where I'm on her shoulders. I keep punching her and get away from her grasp to hit a RKO in midair. The crowd chants holy shit while I go for a pin.
1…2…kickout!
I decide to go for a Punt Kick, but she pulls me down by my leg and puts me in the Heel Hook. I try to get the ropes, but there's no way I can so I have to tap out.
I immediately roll out of the ring, and Eve and Maryse come to my side. This was no way to get momentum going into the Bash.
