Raw: June 22, 2009
I smile as I read the match card. I fight Alicia Fox tonight, Michelle and Eve are fighting each other, and Brie is fighting Natalya. Three Divas matches on one Raw. As far as I knew, that was a new record. I pass Maryse and Ted as I head past my locker-room to find Randy and his locker-room. I knock on the door of his locker-room when I find it. Randy lets me in.
"Welcome to Raw is Orton!" Randy shouts as I walk past him and into the locker-room.
"Why are you making fun of Chris?" I ask with annoyance of being reminded of my ex.
"He is here tonight and has promo time that I plan to interrupt. I'm going to beat him so bad he'll never ever be the same again!"
"In that case, would you please shut the hell up?"
Eve and Cody bust out laughing.
"You guys are so funny. She got you there though, Randy." Eve laughs as she speaks.
I shrug. "We're just naturally that funny. Well, I am at least."
"And hate Chris Jericho. And I'm also naturally funny, Marissa." Randy adds.
"If you say so."
The door opens, and Maryse creeps into the room. "I have news. Michelle's little entourage or whatever we're calling it has added two more members."
"Who?" I ask with curiosity.
"Rosa Mendes and...Mickie James."
"Melina is gonna be pissed about Mickie being around Michelle, but I thought Cena cheated on Michelle with Mickie."
"That's why I came by. I had a feeling you hadn't heard the rumors yet."
"What rumors?"
"Michelle supposedly cheated on John first, so she convinced Mickie to seduce John since she knew Mickie found him attractive."
"Who'd she cheat on John with?"
"Um...your ex, Chris Jericho. That's why I wanted to come tell you personally about it."
I put down the bottle of water I was drinking. "Seriously?"
"Yeah…can't wait to see the fit Morgan is gonna throw over it."
"I doubt she'll take it well."
"Are you upset over it?"
"Well, it seems she convinced Mickie to get John to cheat and had us pitying her. I just don't get why Chris. This is screwed up."
"I personally believe either Michelle thinks it'll get inside your head or she has bad taste in men." Randy adds.
"You told me I had bad taste in men when you found out he cheated on me with Morgan." I recall what he told me after he found me crying after I discovered Chris and Morgan making out.
"Well, that was over a year ago. You learned and have much better taste in men now." Randy gestures at himself.
"Whatever." I throw my water bottle at him.
"Don't be violent." Randy catches the bottle.
"That wasn't violent. I'm just annoyed with your comment."
"Why? It's true."
"But you're showing your ego."
"I know deep down that you love my ego."
"Keep telling yourself that, Randy."
All the ladies tell the fellas
We can do what they can do
We can do it even better in broken heels…
"This Divas match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Saint Louis, Missouri, being accompanied to the ring by Eve Torres and the WWE Divas Champion, Maryse, the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"
All three of us wait in the ring for the opposing team.
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 her opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Layla and Michelle McCool, Alicia Fox!"
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Alicia and I lock up and she kicks me in the gut. She then takes it upon herself to throw me over her shoulder and face first on the apron. She pulls me up by my hair.
"You can't beat Michelle on Sunday!" Alicia yells.
"That's where you're wrong." I elbow myself out of her grasp.
I Irish Whip her into the ropes. When Alicia heads back towards me, I Clothesline her. I decided to try something that I didn't do much. I climb up to the top rope, and when Alicia gets up,still stunned, I go for a Missile Dropkick. Alicia goes down. When she gets up, I give her a regular Dropkick. We repeat this cycle a few more times. The fourth time she gets up, I put her on my shoulders. I do a Picture Perfect. Layla and Michelle try to get involved, but Maryse and Eve attack them from behind. I go for a pin.
1...2...3!
"Here is your winner, the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"
I roll out of the ring, and Eve and Michelle get in.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Michelle and Eve lock up. Michelle immediately kicks Eve in the gut. Michelle pulls Eve to the ground and puts her in a Sleeper Hold. Layla starts skipping around the ring.
"Let's go, Eve!" Layla chants mockingly.
Maryse and I plan to attack Layla, but she gets a little too close to the ring, and someone trips her. The person keeps hold of her leg. When Layla gets up, she screams and starts to run, dragging Hornswoggle out. This distracts Michelle, and Eve rolls her into a pin.
1...2...3!
"Here is your winner, Eve Torres!"
Maryse and I ran into the ring to celebrate with her. Hornswoggle runs in too, and Eve hugs him as a thanks.
Come on!
You know I got ya, yeah.
One, Break the wall down.
(Break down the walls)…
Chris walks into the ring with a microphone in his hand and the WWE Intercontinental Championship on his shoulder. I couldn't stand Chris, and the only reason I was watching this, from guerilla no less, was because Randy was planning on interrupting him.
Chris smirks before speaking. "There's no question about it. I am the best champion in the WWE. No one can disagree. I am better than CM Punk, Maryse, Marissa, and…"
I hear voices in my head
They council me
They understand
They talk to me…
Randy walks in the ring with a microphone and the WWE Championship. He stands on the second rope and holds up his title.
"Randal…" Chris says with evident annoyance. "Why are you out here?"
"It's simple really, Christopher. I just wanted to question why you seem to think you are the best champion in the WWE when you don't even have the most prestigious title." Randy holds up his title.
"Not the most prestigious title? I make this championship more prestigious than the WWE Championship. Anyway, I was saying I am better than Tommy Dreamer, Maryse, CM Punk, you, and your little girlfriend, Marissa, who, as far as I'm concerned, is a pathetic excuse for a Women's Champion, combined."
I bit my lip in anticipation, irritated at Chris's comment about me and also knowing that would strike a nerve.
Randy gets in Chris's face. "Don't bring her into this."
"What, Randy? Does the Viper have a soft spot? You used to be ruthless and go through everyone without there being any lines that you wouldn't cross. Now all of a sudden, Mr. Orton, you end up in a relationship with a second rate Diva, and you're upset because I mentioned her. And let's not forget that I was with her first anyway. What you are now is pathetic."
I had it with Chris and his comments. I know that there was no way I should've been mentioned this much in this. Chris was using this chance to insult me because of what happened between us the night at the bar when Randy and I got together. I wasn't supposed to go out there, but I didn't want to just let this happen. I glance at Vince, thinking about how I could make this work. Vince noticed my glance and just gave me a nod in approval. I didn't hesitate to go to the ring.
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 into the ring with my Women's Championship, and Randy holds the ropes for me. Randy hands me his microphone immediately, knowing that I was wanting to talk and had to have gotten permission.
"Yes, Chris, I was with you first." I say as I look directly in his eyes. "But that's honestly the biggest regret of my life because you were complete shit at being a boyfriend. Don't paint it like you were one who got out of that relationship. We both know I'm the one who dumped your sorry ass."
The crowd reacts loudly.
"Biggest regret? I'm a sexy beast! You lost this! It's okay though, Marissa. My new girlfriend, Michelle McCool, is a way better upgrade."
"Oh good, you found someone on the roster as horrendous as you. And she'll probably be okay with your cheating because she does it too."
"Nice, Marissa." Chris rolls his eyes. "Has anyone told you how much of a hypocrite you are?"
"How am I a hypocrite, Chris?"
"Well, you're talking about me and Michelle sleeping around, but I'm pretty certain you do too. For starters, I'm aware that you slept with Randy pretty much as soon as we broke up. Now, you're dating him. Soon, you'll get over Randy and move on to your next main event star. I wonder who it'll be. Aren't you tight with Edge? Maybe it'll be him. Or, wait, Cena is single now, and you're friends. It could be him. You're just waiting for another main eventer for you to sink your claws into to cling to some popularity, so don't come out here and criticize me."
That was over the line. I quickly slap him across the face. Chris stumbles but doesn't fall to the ground. I go to attack him, but Randy pulls me back. Randy carries me backstage as his music hits.
Once we get to his locker-room, Randy, Cody, Ted, Maryse, Eve, and I all start laughing.
"You got him good, Marissa." Cody tells me.
"Yeah, she did." Ted agrees. "By the way, we can go through with our plans for next week. I talked to my old man, and he's cool with it."
"What plans?" I ask in confusion.
Randy wraps his arm around my shoulders. "The six of us are going to Ted's dad's beach house all next week to celebrate yours and Cody's birthdays and the fourth of July."
"Wow! That's awesome! Thanks!"
"Yeah, thought it'd be a nice little surprise and help you get your mind off of things."
"I probably need that."
"Maryse and I are going to head out." Ted tells everyone as he and Maryse stand up.
"I think Eve and I will follow you out." Cody adds before also going to head out.
"Close the door behind you. Marissa and I will be a few."
Our four friends head out and close the door. I looked over at Randy, having a feeling that he wanted to talk. We were both already in street clothes, so we really didn't have a reason to stick around.
Randy pulled me close to him, so my head was on his chest. "Do you want to talk about it?"
I shake my head. "Chris is such a jerk."
"I tried warning you about him."
"I know. You do know I'm not dating you for popularity, right?"
"I know. I think Chris was just trying to put some doubt in our relationship. I know that's not why you're with me. Plus, I made a move on you, not the other way around. I know you don't plan on leaving me for Adam or John. Chris may be seemingly dating Michelle, but how serious is their relationship anyway? Michelle got with Chris likely because she got lonely without John. Chris is probably with Michelle to have a chance of possibly getting away with cheating and having a girlfriend who doesn't care. It's not a good relationship. You and I have something that's different from what they got. We've got love and pure affection. There's real feelings and romance. I'm constantly just wanting to be with you because you make me happy. I know we're moving a bit fast, but I know we've got something. That's what matters."
"You're right. You're amazing. Does it irritate you that I still get upset with Chris?"
"I don't get irritated with you. I get irritated with him though. He put you through some shit that you didn't deserve. I know it hurts for you to be reminded of that. I get it. I'm not doubting that you're upset that Michelle is dating him. I'm not mad about that. I know you don't have feelings for him anymore. You love me, but that doesn't mean you have to just look past what he did now."
"Thanks, and yeah, it upsets me. There's all the cheating that was involved. Plus, it's the woman who was supposed to be my best friend who's sleeping with and now dating my ex boyfriend who was awful. She's well aware of how he was to me. I don't get it. I thought I knew her, but apparently I don't."
"You'll get through this. We can talk whenever you need to. After tonight though, I have a feeling that we may be meeting those two in a Mixed Tag Team match soon."
"I hope it's an Intergender Tag Team match, so I can beat him up too."
Randy laughs. "If it's not, I'll do it on your behalf."
"Thank you. I couldn't express how much I truly appreciate you."
"I know you appreciate me. Are you ready to head out? We can go grab dinner."
"That'd be great. Thanks."
