Raw: November 23, 2009

"I don't like you, Orton." Michelle comments.

"I don't like you, McCool." Randy replies.

"Oh shut up already." Maryse rolls her eyes. "I would like it to be peaceful for my return tonight."

"At least you're not an Indian." Eve mutters.

"It's Native American." I comment. "But they refuse to say that apparently."

"I'm a pilgrim." Michelle adds. "This is the weirdest match we've ever been in."

"I'm the Gobbledy Gooker." Maryse says. "I might have it worse."

"I'm taking pictures." Randy laughs.

"Don't." I tell Randy.

"You have to let me. I won the bet."

"They don't though. You can't force them."

"Yeah." Michelle smirks as she stands up. "I'm leaving."

"I guess I will so you aren't alone, Rissa." Eve tells me.

"Me too." Maryse adds. "But I'm wearing the head too, so no one can tell it's me."

"In that case, would you want to take one on my phone too, babe?" I ask Randy.

"You're lucky that I'm nice." Randy mutters before taking my phone. "Say cheese."

"Cheese!" We all say before Randy takes the pictures.

Randy takes a few pictures on our phones before handing mine back.

"I'll send the pics to you guys later." I tell Eve and Maryse as they're heading out the door.

I found the best picture and posted it on Twitter before sitting down next to Randy.

Randy smiles at me. "You have to admit that this isn't too bad. I haven't made you do too much."

"Yeah." I shrug at him. "But this match is gonna suck. I don't want to team with Melina anymore."

"But you shouldn't have to after tonight, right?"

"Shouldn't have to. I'm over it already. After tonight, it should be just me and my girls. Of course, there will also be instances of me managing you at times too."

"I do love when you manage me. It's too bad I'm in a Battle Royal tonight."

"It's a Number One Contender's Battle Royal though. If you win, you can wrestle against John for the WWE Championship again."

"Good point, I still have it better than you tonight I guess."

"You do."

"The following is a Thanksgiving Mayflower Melee match set for one fall!"

(the Pilgrims's song plays)

"Introducing first, the pilgrims, Michelle McCool, Layla, and Jillian!"

"Look people, we get it." Michelle huffs as her team enters the ring. "It's Thanksgiving and here we are dressed as pilgrims. How original? They've made us do some stupid things in the past, but thanks to our guest host, The Governor, is by far the stupidest. Go ahead people…"

"Ladies and gentlemen," Justin Roberts, the ring announcer, interrupts. "It's been nineteen years since he made his debut. Please welcome your special guest timekeeper, the Gobbledy Gooker!"

(the Gobbledy Gooker's song plays)

Maryse walks out acting like the Gobbledy Gooker.

"And their opponents, the Indians!"

(the Indians' song plays)

"Melina, Eve Torres, and Marissa!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Jillian and Melina start the match off. They lock up, and Jillian throws Melina on the ground. Melina reverses an Irish Whip and hits Jillian into the corner. Melina goes to do a move off the second turnbuckle, but Jillian pulls her down. Melina in thrown on the ground again. She is thrown into the corner, and Jillian goes for a Back Handspring move. Melina reverses it. Melina performs a Bulldog and pins Jillian.

1...2...kickout!

Layla pulls on Melina's hair. Melina gets distracted and goes after Layla and Michelle. Layla and Michelle both jump off the apron and start to walk away. Jillian hits Melina with a Clothesline. Jillian starts freaking out because she sees Layla and Michelle leaving. Eve and I share a look before jumping on Layla and Michelle. Jillian is distracted, so Melina is able to pin her.

1...2...3!

"Here are your winners, the Indians, Eve Torres, Marissa, and Melina!"

Eve and I head backstage as Melina stays in the ring to get interviewed by Jerry Lawler. We watch from backstage.

"Okay." Jerry says as he enters the ring. "We wanna see if we can get a word with one of the winning Indians, Melina, and we've been joined by the Gobbledy Gooker as well here tonight. Made a surprise appearance."

"Maryse." Eve and I mutter as Layla and Michelle join us.

"Maryse is dressed as the Gobbledy Gooker?" Layla asks with confusion. "Is she recovered?"

"She's cleared." I answer.

"But first," Jerry looks at Melina. "Tell us just a little bit about that victory because it was a big win."

"I'm just so happy to be teaming with Eve and Marissa. And…" Melina gets cut off by Jerry.

"Look out!" Jerry shouts.

Maryse attacks Melina from behind. Maryse continues to attack Melina without showing any signs of backing off. Jerry tries to help Melina, but Maryse tells him to back off. Maryse finally takes the Gobbledy Gooker suit off to reveal a shirt much more her style with yellow pants. She freaks out and takes the pants off. She has black shorts underneath that are more her style. Maryse throws the costume onto an unconscious Melina. Maryse smiles and does her signature hair flip before exiting the ring. She smirks as she walks up the ramp.

I sat in Legacy's locker-room with Eve and Maryse to watch this Battle Royal, as all three members of Legacy were in it.

"So how's it feel to be back?" Eve asks Maryse.

"It feels amazing." Maryse smiles. "And I can't wait to work with you two again. I've missed it."

"We have too." I comment.

"Well, I don't plan on getting hurt again, so you're stuck with me now."

"Do you plan on going after the Divas Championship since Melina has it?"

"I don't see why I shouldn't. It does look really great on me."

"It does, and I think it'll be great to have both championships in our group again."

"It definitely will be."

I kept my focus on the Battle Royal. It was down to the final three participants, Kofi, Sheamus, and Randy. Suddenly, an explosion hits, and Kane's theme music starts to play. Randy looks towards the stage, and Kofi takes the chance to eliminate Randy from the Battle Royal.

"You've gotta be kidding me." I mutter.

Kane shows up on the stage and stares at Randy. Randy, clearly livid, looks at Kane too.

"Are you gonna be okay, Rissa?" Eve asks with concern.

I nod. "Physically, I'm okay, but I'm so over this. I'm pissed. He just needs to leave us alone. I'm gonna go see Randy."

"Is that a good idea?" Maryse questions.

"Ted and Cody will be in guerilla waiting on Randy. I'll be fine. I just want to see him."

"Be careful."

"I will."

I exit the locker-room and head into guerilla. Kane was gone already, and Ted and Cody were talking with an irate Randy. I walk over and lean on Randy. Randy immediately puts an arm around me before I walk with them to exit guerilla.

"Do you two want time alone?" Cody asks Randy and me.

Randy nods. "A few minutes would be nice. We'll catch up with you guys."

Randy pulls me into an empty hall. He keeps me in his arms and holds me close.

"So what do you want to do?" I quietly ask Randy.

Randy sighs. "Get my hands on Kane."

"Do you want another match with him?"

"Honestly, yes, I do."

"I'm not thrilled we're still dealing with this, but I think I can push enough to get you a match against Kane at TLC. I just want you to promise me one thing, Randy."

"What's that?"

"Finish this at TLC. I'm ready to move on, and I know you are too."

"I am." Randy kisses my forehead. "I'll finish this. I promise."
