Raw: October 19, 2009
"Guess who Snoop Dogg invited to walk out to the ring with him!" Eve tells us excitedly.
"Beth Phoenix?" Maryse jokingly guesses. "Has to be why you're so excited."
Eve rolls her eyes at Maryse. "It's me and the Bella Twins!"
"Oh, well that's cool."
"Lucky." I smile. "But Snoop being here is actually very good for me. I didn't know he was guest host until now."
"How's that good for you? Do you know Snoop?" Eve questions.
"I don't know if you two remember, but since I was upset and Chris and I had just broken up, I spent most of the day of WrestleMania 24 with Randy. We ended up spending an unplanned sizable chunk of that day with Snoop Dogg." I give the girls a knowing smirk.
"Girl, I would've never expected you to ever do that."
"Only time it happened, it will probably never happen again."
"I see. That's crazy though. I'm going to go now. See you later."
"See you later."
"I need sleep…" Maryse whines. "I'm so tired."
"Why are you tired?"
"Well...Ted and I were up most of the night expressing our love."
"Oh, Ryse." I shake my head.
"It's not like we were the only couple doing it last night." Maryse gives me a mischievous look. "Were we?"
I look at the ground. "No…but Randy and I know to make time for sleep."
"Knew it."
Suddenly, the door knob starts to rattle.
Maryse looks through the peephole and looks at me worried. "Call Randy. It's Kane."
"Shit." I go to grab my phone, but Kane barges in.
I look at Maryse. "Try to escape and find someone we can trust. He's after me, not you."
"Okay." Maryse nods.
"I'm back." Kane looks at me with cruel intentions obvious. "I told you and Randy I was coming back for you two."
I go to punch Kane, but he grabs my arm. Maryse goes to leave, but Miz corners her into coming back into the locker-room. I watch Maryse with concern.
"Where do you think you're going, sexy?" Miz asks smugly.
Maryse slaps him. I chuckle.
Kane shoves me against the wall. "Orton isn't coming to save you."
"How do you know that?" I ask with an attitude.
"I just know."
"No, you don't. I just know is literally the dumbest reason in the world by the way."
"Yes, I do. Randy is in Stephanie's office, which you also know is true. We both know he's occupied at the moment."
I knee Kane in the groin. "Didn't know that, did you, Kane?"
Kane falls to the ground. Miz shoves Maryse at the wall. She falls to the floor. Miz and I look at each other before I run for my phone and grab it. Miz runs after me. I quickly duck away from him and text Randy.
Me: Kane and Miz are in the locker-room. Please get someone down here quickly. Maryse got shoved by Miz. I am worried she got further injured.
Miz runs after me again. I drop my phone, avoid being grabbed by him, and slap him across the face. Kane gets up and grabs me from behind. Miz stands up and goes to smack me, but Ted attacks him from behind. Kane releases his grip on me to stop Ted. Cody goes to attack Kane, but Kane fights with him and Ted.
I roll out of the way and check on Maryse. "You okay?"
"Fine." Maryse answers. "How did Cody and Ted know?"
"I managed to sneak a text to Randy. He must've got a hold of them for us."
Kane overpowers Ted and Cody, but John and Michelle run in. John goes after Kane. Michelle stands in front of me and Maryse to check up on us. Miz gets up and helps beat up John. Randy finally runs in and helps John fight off Kane and Miz. John takes out Miz with an Attitude Adjustment. Randy takes out Kane with a RKO. Ted and Cody get up, and the four men throw Kane and Miz out. Cody leaves to make sure Eve is safe as well. Ted checks on Maryse. John and Michelle sit on the couch.
Randy checks on me. "Are you okay?"
"I guess…" I sigh.
"You guess? Rissa, that worries me."
"I can't say I'm fine. Kane came after me and Maryse again. I seriously can't keep doing this."
"Don't worry, Rissa. I'll protect you from the scary Big Red Monster. Like I said, I'm gonna find a way to finish this. He didn't kiss you again, did. he?"
"No kiss, Randy."
Randy kisses me. "Good, those lips are for me to kiss only."
"I hope this eventually blows over. I want it to be safe around here, especially since Stephanie is pregnant, you want to bring in Al soon, Chris and Morgan are expecting, and many of the others have kids. It needs to be safe for them."
"I hope so too. Now, get ready for your commentary duty. You've got to make a huge decision." Randy brushes some hair out of my face.
"I know. I think I might already know who I want though."
"Good, it'll make things easier for you."
I look at the time. "I gotta go now actually. I need to be in guerilla. See you later."
I am sitting at commentary with Michael Cole and Jerry "the King" Lawler. Melina and Gail are in the ring ready to have their match.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Melina and Gail lock up.
"Marissa," Michael Cole looks at me. "Who exactly decided to make you captain? I mean who wants you as captain of the Raw Divas team? I sure as hell don't."
Melina rolls Gail into a cradle.
1...2...kickout!
"I want her as captain, Cole." Jerry responds. "She's basically the main event of Raw, the Women's Champion, and a McMahon."
Even Jerry Lawler sees that my popularity is a good thing, unlike Creative apparently.
"She's just a weak little Diva, who couldn't beat up anyone without her Divas of Domination group." Michael Cole retorts.
"A weak little Diva? This woman could easily kick your ass." Jerry tells Michael.
"I'd like to see her try."
"Cole, for starters, D-Generation X named me captain. They have been very strategic when it comes to handling Team Raw going into Bragging Rights. They had every reason to choose me to captain the Divas team for Raw. As for kicking your ass, I can get that arranged if you'd like." I remove my headset and stand up as Gail hits an Eat Defeat on Melina and goes for a pin.
1...2...3!
"Here is your winner, Gail Kim."
I hit Michael Cole with a Clothesline and enter the ring.
I extend a hand to Melina. "Melina...you're not on my team for Bragging Rights."
I pull my hand away with a large smirk on my face.
I extend a hand to Gail. "Welcome to the team, Gail."
Gail's song plays as we shake hands, and we walk backstage.
Eve greets us as we arrive in guerilla. "Welcome to the team, Gail!"
Gail smiles at Eve. "Thanks for having me. I know that Miss Women's Champ over here has great taste."
I laugh. "Thanks, Gail. I'm honored to have you on my Bragging Rights team."
"I'm honored to finally do something with you. I almost thought that time would never come. I remember when you came in back in 2004. I saw that drive and determination from the start, and I'm glad to see it's still there." Gail pats me on the shoulder. "I gotta get going. See you two later."
Eve nods as we both watch Gail walk away. "Are you doing okay after what happened with Kane earlier?"
I shake my head. "Absolutely not, but I refuse to let it stop me from doing my best at this job. Let's go. We're supposed to meet Chelle and Ryse in our locker-room."
"Are the guys free to be near us, just in case?"
"They're all a bit busy right now, but Stephanie sent some security guards to stand guard over our locker-room after what happened earlier."
"That works for now."
