SmackDown Filming: October 13, 2009

I keep myself near Randy. Kane had decided to send us another threat last night. I was incredibly anxious as I held on tightly to Randy's arm.

"I want you to stay as close as you can to me unless it's during my match." Randy whispers in my ear. "Got it?"

"Got it." I responded. "But I have a match too."

"Against who?"

"Mickie."

"Good luck."

"Don't need it. Michelle and I planned a disqualification finish to help our storyline."

Michelle walks up. "Guess what."

"What?"

"Mickie asked Chris if she could be on the team."

"So she tried to undermine you to get on the team?"

"Pretty much. Chris told her that all of those decisions were up to me."

"And?"

"There is no way she'll be on my team."

"I'm thinking about asking Melina or Gail to join mine."

"Well, since Eve has a spot, make Melina and Gail face each other and then decide."

"That's good. I'm gonna do that."

"See, Rissa, I have good ideas."

"I know."

"Well...I gotta go. See you later, Rissa."

"Bye."

Michelle leaves. Randy kisses my cheek. I smile, but I change to frowning when I see Mickie walking past us.

"Bitch." Mickie whispers.

"Jealous." I whisper back.

"I don't like her one bit." I tell Randy after she leaves.

"Me either, wish she'd get over me."

"I'm going to see Stephanie. Are you going with me?"

"Nope, that's your sister. If you don't show up, she will know something happened. She can be trusted."

"Okay, I'll see you after that."

"Love you, Rissa."

"Love you too. See you later." I head off to see Stephanie.

As I walk into Stephanie's office, she rushes me into a seat. I look at her confused.

"I need to tell you something…" Stephanie gives me a serious look.

"What is it?" I ask with concern.

"I'm pregnant, but Paul doesn't know yet. Since I'll be taking time off, someone has to represent me as Executive Vice President of Creative. I'll still come up with the ideas. I just want you to be my representative."

"I guess I'll do it. Aurora and Murphy will be excited to know they're going to have another sibling."

"I hope. Maybe we'll have a son this time."

"I hope it's another daughter then."

Stephanie rolls her eyes. "Good luck, Rissa."

"Thanks...can I tell Randy what all this about?"

"Yes."

"Thank you, um, since I'll be doing this for you, can I have some time soon to talk to you about a decision made by Creative that I'm kinda concerned about?"

Stephanie nods. "I think I know what you're referring to. We'll discuss it soon."

"Thank you."

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…

"This is a Divas match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Saint Louis, Missouri, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

("Obsession" plays)

"And her opponent, from Richmond, Virginia, Mickie James!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Mickie and I lock up. She puts me in a Sleeper Hold. I easily escape. I slap her. She holds her cheek, and I slip out of the ring. Michelle is walking towards the ring as planned. Mickie goes to run after me, but Michelle hits her with a Big Boot. The referee signals for a disqualification. Michelle walks backstage. Tony Chimel offers me my championship. I yank it away from him as I pretend to be mad and walk backstage.

The cameras show Michelle, Maryse, and Eve talking in our locker-room. I angrily open the door and slammed it behind me.

"Michelle," I walk up to her and get in her face. "What the hell was that?!"

"An assist." Michelle replies with a smug look.

"What kind of assist?! You know what...don't answer that! What you did was…"

"Was what, Marissa? Genius? It makes you pretty angry, doesn't it? It makes you angry knowing that I did something better than you."

"You don't know what you're talking about."

"Yes, I do. You hate it when someone does something better than you, just like Randy. You two have the same type of ego. I could probably lead a team better than you, and that makes you angry."

"We'll see about that, Michelle. My team will beat yours at Bragging Rights, and you'll be eating your words."

"We'll see about that. You'll be the one eating your words after Bragging Rights. See you later, girls." Michelle smirks before leaving the locker-room.

I turn to Eve. "Eve, you listen to me. We are not losing under any circumstances to SmackDown at Bragging Rights. Michelle is going to eat her words and be put in her place, got it?"

Eve anxiously nods. "Got it?"

"Good."

I look at Randy as we're in bed together. "Do you ever feel so frustrated with work?"

Randy gives me a sympathetic look. "Sometimes, is this about them wanting to split the Divas of Domination?"

"Well, that's one of the things. I just don't get it. They aren't even talking about splitting you guys right now, and Legacy formed first. This literally feels like it's because we're popular and the higher-ups don't like it. I don't even know if Stephanie will want to hear me out on this."

"So how're you gonna fight it? You are far too stubborn to just let this go."

"I don't know. I almost want to just go above and beyond on everything in the script to make us more popular and make it hard to split us. I know it could make things worse. They could get mad, force me to lose my Women's Championship, and be pulled from TV. I can't just let it happen though."

"Well, I'll bring you to ringside constantly if that happens. Keep you on TV and popular."

"Thanks, Randy. You know what else? I'm so over this shit with Kane. It's like every time we think it's done, he comes back. Laurinaitis is encouraging this, and my dad won't do anything about it since Laurinaitis has not done anything to me directly and is one of my dad's favorite yes men. I'm so tired of this."

Randy gently grabs my face. "Look at me. I'll find a way. I'm gonna finish this. I'll kick Kane's ass again. I'll kick Miz's ass. Hell, if that doesn't stop it, I'll kick John Laurinaitis's ass if I have to. I refuse to let this keep going."

"I'm sick of being afraid that Kane could come after me any time at work. I feel like a damsel in distress, and I hate it."

"I know. I'll find a way. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you."

"I wish this wasn't on you. I love you so much."

"I love you too." Randy kisses my forehead. "And if Kane thinks he's scary, he's got another thing coming. I can be scary too."
