SmackDown Filming: July 14, 2009

I sit in Legacy's locker-room with Randy, Adam, and Torrie. We were catching up on everything that's happened since Torrie and I last saw each other. It's been a while.

"So we kind of just got back together." Torrie explains.

"That doesn't even surprise me." Randy comments.

"Of course it doesn't. So, Marissa, how am I making my big return tonight?"

"Morgan is having an open challenge to any member of the Diva Barrage. That now includes you, so you can answer." I explain to Torrie.

"Torrie is going to enjoy fighting Morgan." Adam adds.

"Of course! Let me at that little bitch!" Torrie exclaims.

Adam looks at the time. "Maybe you should go get ready, Torrie. Let's go. Rissa, Randy, we'll see you two later."

Torrie and Adam leave. I lay my head on Randy's chest.

Randy holds me close. "This is nice."

I nod. "Yeah, but it won't last long. Someone will interrupt us."

"Well, I'm gonna enjoy it for now. Are you feeling confident about your plan?"

"Yes, I'm confident with this plan. It will work, but I'm still anxious about leading a team that isn't just the Divas of Domination."

"I think you've been doing a pretty good job."

"Thanks."

Maryse, Eve, Ted, and Cody enter the room. They sit themselves down.

Randy sighs. "And there's the interruption."

Maryse looks at me after rolling her eyes at Randy. "How are we dealing with Morgan and the betrayal? Surely, you have a plan."

I hadn't told anyone that I was letting Torrie handle Morgan yet.

"Torrie's got Morgan. As for Jillian and Katie, I have nothing." I answer.

"We could handle it." Eve suggests.

"You could, but Maryse can't. She has to focus on Mickie. They'll be fighting over the Divas Championship."

"Who will I work with then?"

"Torrie's got Morgan. Maryse has Mickie. I have Michelle. The Bellas have Natalya and Beth. Kelly and Melina got Alicia and Layla. Maria has Rosa. Gail sort of quit last night, so I guess Candice."

"Okay...Gail quit?"

"Yeah. From our team at least. I'm not sure if she quit WWE or not. It was confusing."

It feels like I want to let it go (go)

Show you think I'll never ever show (show)

Were burning down the house tonight (tonight)...

Morgan enters the ring with a microphone. "On behalf of Team McCool, I am issuing an open challenge to any member of the Diva Barrage to compete against me. This is a huge opportunity and…"

I just need a little space to call my own

Just a corner of the world where I can be alone

With you…

The titantron goes to a blank screen for a moment but changes to Torrie's titantron. The crowd goes insane as she walks down the ramp, into the ring, and gets in Morgan's face.

"The newest member of the Diva Barrage is standing right here." Torrie tells Morgan while staring Morgan down.

Morgan rolls her eyes. "That's really funny. You think you can…"

Torrie slaps Morgan across the face. Torrie and Morgan brawl in the ring. A referee separates them. The bell signals for a match to start. Torrie immediately hits a Facebuster and goes for a pin.

1...2...3!

"Here is your winner, Torrie Wilson!"

The rest of the Diva Barrage had been backstage together, watching this go down. We were all ecstatic to see Torrie win, especially that quickly.

Torrie quickly exits the ring and heads backstage. After Torrie gets backstage, I run over and embrace her. Others from the Diva Barrage applaud her.

Michelle walks over to us. "What was that, Torrie?! I thought we were friends!"

"Not anymore, Michelle." Torrie replies. "Why would I want to be friends with someone who has a jealousy issue like the one you clearly have? The issue you have with Marissa is clearly rooted in jealousy, and one day, I hope you realize that you're in the wrong."

"This is ridiculous." Michelle storms off.

I look at Torrie. "You absolutely killed it. I'm gonna let you talk to the others. Randy's waiting for me, so I'm probably gonna just go hang out with him."

Torrie nods. "Alright. I'll see you around."

I walked over to Randy. "Told you."

"Never doubted you." Randy tells me in response.

Randy rubbed my shoulders as we sat in bed together at the hotel. "You seem stressed out."

I nod. "I am a little bit."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

I sigh. "I'm not sure how long this Diva Barrage thing will last. Gail quit on it already, and there's too many women for everyone to get along with each other for very long."

"Well, Michelle's group has just as many women. You only need this to last while her group is still up and running. Once they're done, you can be too."

"That's a good point."

"It is." Randy stops rubbing my shoulders and gets out of bed. "Once it's all said and done, you can go back to just having Eve and Maryse."

"That'll be nice. What're you doing?"

"Lay on your stomach." Randy tells me without answering my question.

"Alright, but why?" I ask I move to lay on my stomach.

Randy gets back on the bed and starts massaging my back. "Because I'm trying to do something to make you feel better."

"Well, thanks, handsome. Guess I'll need to return the favor soon."

"I don't doubt that you'll find a way to return the favor, but it's not necessary. I just want you to feel better. You're stressing yourself out."

"I always stress myself out."

"Maybe, but this is more than normal. I think you can hold out until Michelle's group falls apart. Then, you go back to normal and get your Women's Championship back because I know you're more than capable of that."

"You're right. I'm just stressed and frustrated. Thanks for letting me vent."

"Of course. If things were the other way around, you'd let me vent too."

"I would."

Randy finishes massaging me and lays back down. "You make me happy."

I turn to look at him and smile. "You make me happy. Hopefully this thing with the Diva Barrage and Team McCool doesn't go completely to shit for me."

"I don't think it will. You're smart. You'll figure things out."
