Raw: July 6, 2009

I walked into the regular Divas locker-room and saw everyone I asked to be in there was there. Katie Lea, Maria, Candice Michelle, Gail Kim, Eve, Kelly, Maryse, Melina, Brie, and Nikki were all in the locker-room chatting away in their own groups. I stood on a chair and coughed to get everyone's attention. They all looked at me.

"Thank you for giving me your attention." I address everyone in the room. "Now, I know some of us don't get along that well with each other, but we have a common enemy right now."

"And who would that be?" Gail asks.

"Michelle and her six buddies, who are now called Team McCool."

"And why is that important?" Maria asks.

"Because let's be real, they won't stop until they have beaten us all."

"What are we supposed to do about it?" Katie Lea asks.

"We need to work together, all of us."

The Divas mutter about how it'll never work.

"She's got a point." Melina tells the others as she gets on her own chair. "I already agreed to help her, and we all know we can't stand each other."

Everyone else laughs at that.

I smile at Melina. "I hope this shows how serious this issue is going to get. Michelle will keep her allies to take out everyone she considers to be in her way, and one way or another, that will end up being each and every one of us who isn't in this Team McCool."

"And how are we supposed to fight Team McCool when they'll have the numbers on all of us if we don't work together?" Melina adds.

The other Divas start nodding and seemingly opening up to the idea.

"So...are we all in?" I ask with anticipation.

Everyone says yes at the same time.

"Great." I continue speaking. "As you all should know, the Million Dollar Man is tonight's guest host. Since he's the father of one of my boyfriend's Legacy teammates, I should be able to find out what Team McCool has going on tonight. Once I do that, I'll get back to all of you, so we can make a plan to fight back tonight. Thank you all for being a part of this."


I ran into Legacy's locker-room very excited. I knew things were falling into place to be able to fight Michelle and Team McCool. I stop dead in my tracks when I see Ted DiBiase Senior sitting on the couch. Maryse walks in behind me. Her jaw drops. I look at her.

"That's your boyfriend's daddy." I whisper to Maryse.

"Hi, Mr. DiBiase." I say out loud to Ted.

"Marissa, I always have to tell you, call me Ted." Ted Senior says as he holds out his hand to Maryse. "Hello, Maryse. I'm Ted's dad if you didn't realize. Ted Senior."

"Um…hello." Maryse shakes his hand while clearly nervous.

"Don't be nervous." Ted Senior hugs her. "By the way, Marissa, I know Michelle has promo time tonight."

I smile. "That's nice to know. I will definitely be using that information. Thanks."

"Of course. You use that information to get done what you need to do."

Randy and Ted Junior walk into the locker-room. Ted Junior's jaw drops. He grabs Maryse.

"Dad...you haven't been messing with Maryse. Have you?" Ted Junior asks.

"Oh no. Of course not." Ted Senior remarks.

Randy and I chuckle at the conversation between the Million Dollar Man and his son.

"Did you talk to the other Divas?" Randy asks me.

"Yeah." I answer Randy.

"Did you manage to get them to agree?"

"Yes...thanks to Melina."

"Just give her a chance. Maybe she's changed."

"Maybe, Randy, maybe."

"I understand why you're reluctant, but, Rissa, what other shot do you have at fighting Team McCool? If you lose Melina, you may lose most of the other Divas."

I sigh. "I know. I'm not doing this any longer than I have to though."

"That makes two of us." Maryse adds. "I take it the other Divas agreed?"

"Yeah, but a lot of the convincing came from Melina."

Maryse shook her head. "As much as I can't stand her, I gotta admit she knows how to talk."

"Yeah, and for now, we need her for that."


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)...

Team McCool all walked out in a line. Michelle grabs a microphone. She turned her head to the left and then the right and smirked.

"At the Bash, I made history as I became the first person to hold both the Divas and Women's Championships. Much to the dismay of my former teammates, Eve, Maryse, and Marissa. But you know what? I don't care. They're just jealous of me...and the rest of Team McCool. Why? Because we're flawless. And they're just…" Michelle gets cut off.

All the ladies tell the fellas

We can do what they can do

We can do it even better in broken heels…

We stop at the stage. Maryse grabs a microphone.

"Pourquoi serions- nous jaloux d'un pathétique d'un champion comme toi?" Maryse asks with annoyance.

"What did she say?"

I grab the microphone. "She said why would we be jealous of a pathetic excuse of a champion like you, and to be honest, I agree with her. We have no reason to be jealous."

"Actually…" Layla looks at us. "You three should be jealous of all seven of us, especially Eve, because we're flawless."

"Oh no no no, Layla." Eve retorts. "You've got it all wrong. We could beat you all down right here right now."

"You and what army?" Natalya asks.

"You just had to ask."

Melina's theme hits and Katie Lea, Maria, Candice Michelle, Gail Kim, Kelly, Melina, Brie, and Nikki walk out and stand with us.

"This good enough for you?" Kelly asks as we all stand together on the stage.

Team McCool stares at us before getting out of the ring. The seven go to attack us. A Diva brawl breaks out. Nikki is fighting Beth, Brie is fighting Natalya, Eve is fighting Layla, Kelly and Maryse are fighting Alicia, Katie Lea and Jillian are fighting Rosa, Candice and Gail are fighting Mickie, and Melina and I are fighting Michelle. My group ends up winning, and Michelle's group runs away. Melina's music hits, and we celebrate. I hear Jerry Lawler call us a barrage of Divas. That gives me an idea for a name, the Diva Barrage.
