SmackDown Filming: June 23, 2009

I posed in front of the green screen with my championship. The cameraman instructed me to change my pose every few pictures. They wanted me to take pictures with my title before the Bash on Sunday. Once we were done, I went to look for Randy. However, I apparently wasn't paying enough attention because he and I bumped right into each other. I almost fell, but Randy grabbed my arm and caught me.

"Watch yourself, Marissa. You could've hurt yourself." Randy says as he pulls me up.

"That surprises me coming from you." I say mockingly.

"That hurts." Randy mocks being hurt. "So...do you want to guess who I talked to?"

"Who did you talk to?"

"John."

"Cena?"

"He wanted to be friends again. I'm also supposed to apologize to the rest of you for him."

"Oh. Isn't he still injured?"

"Yes, he isn't mad at me over it. He just wants to make amends with us. Don't think he's trying to make amends with Michelle though."

I sigh. "I think it's pointless to be mad at this point. I was holding a grudge for a woman who has now been behaving pretty shitty. Plus he doesn't really need to apologize to us when he didn't cheat on us. I also don't want to keep you from one of your best friends. I don't agree with what he did, but I forgive him."

"Okay. Now we have to talk to the others."

"We?"

"Yes. Let's get ready for our match now."

"Okay."

Randy grabs my hand and we walk together to Legacy's locker-room

I grabbed my leather jacket from Maryse as she and Eve were in there with their boyfriends as well.

"Do Eve and I need to come along?" Maryse asks.

I look over at Randy.

Randy nods. "Ted and Cody are coming, but they can't touch Layla or Alicia, so yeah, it wouldn't be a bad idea."

I look back at Maryse. "You heard the man.

Randy and I got put in a Mixed Tag Team match with Michelle and Chris after last night. Randy and I were going to have plenty of backup in case either person tried something.


Chris and Michelle were already out in the ring flanked by Layla and Alicia.

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…

"Introducing their opponents, first, from Saint Louis, Missouri, the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

Eve and Maryse were with me, and we stopped at the ramp and waited for Randy and the boys.

I hear voices in my head

They council me

They understand

They talk to me…

"And her partner, also from Saint Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 245 pounds, the WWE Champion, Randy Orton!"

The boys join us at the ramp, and Randy offers me his hand. I take it as the crowd cheers. We walk up the stairs, and he holds the ropes for me. We enter and share a kiss. He does his pose in the corner. We head to our corner.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Randy and Chris start the match off. I try to keep my eyes on them, but I can't help but glare daggers at Michelle. She's doing the same to me. Randy hits Chris with a Dropkick. He heads to the corner, and I tag in.

Michelle runs at me, but I avoid her and do a Dropkick of my own. She gets up and hits me with a Clothesline. Alicia pulls out brass knuckles, but Maryse notices and attacks her. Layla takes them and hits her. Eve Clotheslines Layla. Michelle rolls out to get involved, and I hit a Suicide Dive on her, Layla, and Alicia. I run into the ring and tag in Randy to make the men the legal participants in the match.

Randy and Chris hit each other with right hands. Chris all of a sudden hits a Codebreaker. He gets in my face, as I'm back on the apron, and yells at me. I roll my eyes and slap him. Chris turns around and gets an RKO from Randy. Randy pins Chris.

1...2...3!

"Here are your winners, the team of the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa, and the WWE Champion, Randy Orton!"

I get in the ring to celebrate with Randy, and Randy pulls me to the side.

"Do you want to punt him?" Randy asks.

"You're wanting to punt him?" I ask.

"No, I want you to do it. There's a small difference."

I grin mischievously. "Sure."

Randy holds Chris down. I line myself up in the corner to get ready to Punt Kick Chris, but Michelle distracts me and Randy for a moment to give Chris a chance to escape. Chris, Michelle, Layla, and Alicia head backstage.

Randy and I rolled out of the ring with our friends right behind us. He and I shared a victory kiss on the stage. We knew things didn't quite go as planned, but now, it's time to focus on the Bash.


Randy and I were in bed in our hotel room together. We had both gotten comfortable a while ago and hadn't moved since.

Randy moved his right arm to the lower part of my back. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there's something that's been bothering you for the past week or so. Something that we haven't discussed."

I sigh. "It's probably dumb."

"I don't care. If something is bothering you, you should get it off your chest."

"I just hope it doesn't offend you. I swear that I do completely trust you. When I was showing off the promise ring last Monday, Brie Bella made a comment. I think it was something along the lines of he must love you so much, considering he is done with having one night stands because of you. It just put the thought of you going and sleeping with someone else in my head. I don't think you would do it, but it triggered my insecurities. I've only had two serious relationships before you, and we both know how they both ended. They both cheated on me. I'm the common factor. Those relationships were totally different. It makes me think that maybe I wasn't enough, maybe I'm not a good girlfriend. If that's the case, how am I supposed to be any different for you?"

Randy wiped away a tear that had started to roll down my cheek. "The common factor is that they both were shitty boyfriends. Chris is Chris, and your college ex, Jason or whatever his name was, was a total jackass. You're a great girlfriend, and I love you. I intend on being with you forever and always. You're enough, and I'm not going to cheat on you."

"Sorry, I'm so insecure."

"I get it. You've been cheated on twice, and it's messed with you emotionally. I get why you feel like that. This relationship is going to be different though. I promise."

"Thank you."

Randy kisses my neck. "And if you're in the right mood, I can show you right now just how much I love you."

"I'm actually in that mood right now. You can go right on ahead with that."

"Great."
