SmackDown Filming: November 24, 2009

I watched from the side as Michelle and Eve had their interview segment. Michelle is getting interviewed. Eve walks up to her.

"Michelle," Eve gives Michelle a serious look. "What's up with you lately? You have been acting out against me and Marissa. I'm sick of it. We're supposed to be a team. Bragging Rights is over. Survivor Series is over. Can't we move on now?"

"Things have changed. Me and Marissa? We were friends. And I thought you and I were friends too, but you always side with her. I'm not going to stand by and let myself get dragged down by Marissa's ego. You and Maryse should reconsider your decisions too. Don't let her drag you two down." Michelle sternly tells Eve before walking away.

I clap. "Good job. Good job, you guys."

"Thanks, Rissa." Eve smiles.

"I'm still upset that Creative wants to go through with splitting us up, but you two killed that segment."

"Me too, but we've told you we'll all go if necessary. So what are you doing for Thanksgiving?"

"Rissa, Randy, John, and I are going to the Orton's." Michelle answers.

"Oh well, Ted, Maryse, Cody, and I are going to Dustin's."

"Dustin's?" I question.

"Yeah, that's Goldust's place."

"Oh, I see." Michelle comments.

"Ted's family, Cody and Goldust's family, us, and Chris and Morgan are going."

"Chris and Morgan?" Michelle asks.

"They're used to celebrating Thanksgiving with friends since most of both of their families don't celebrate it, since they're Canadian, so we decided to invite them."

"Do the Rhodes and DiBiase families always have Thanksgiving together?" I ask. "I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time."

"They do." Randy says as he walks up to us. "Remember back in 1995, my family got invited too, and you went with us. Cody kept trying to annoy you, and Ted, being his thirteen year old, annoying self, kept trying to flirt with you."

"And you told him I was too good for him."

"I did it for the better. Think about it. He's with Ryse. And you're with…" Randy gestures at himself. "This sexy beast."

"Good job. Please don't say that again. You're stealing Chris's lines. Does anyone know the gender of his and Morgan's baby?"

"The baby is a girl." Maryse says as she walks up with Ted. "Morgan just told me."

"Yay! I can spoil her!"

"Chris is going to be so annoyed with you for that."

"Probably, but that's the point."

"I'll help." Maryse smirks.

"Oh yes." Ted tells us. "The eight of us will be the greatest unbiological aunts and uncles ever. Well...Ryse is biological. Where's Cody and John?"

"I don't know. Come on, Rissa. We've gotta go wrestle."

"Come back as soon as you're done!" Randy shouts as we head to the guerilla area.

"I will!" I shout.

I don't know if Randy even heard me. I wait for our turn to head to the ring.


("Paparazzi" plays)

"The following Tag Team match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the team of Emily O'Hare and the WWE Divas Champion, Melina!"

All the ladies tell the fellas

We can do what they can do

We can do it even better in broken heels…

"And their opponents, representing the Divas of Domination, the team of Maryse and the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Maryse starts the match off against our "old friend," Emily O'Hare. Emily and Maryse go back and forth with right hands. Emily gets the advantage and throws Maryse into the corner. Emily chops Maryse's chest a few times before waiting for Maryse to be in the right position for the Brogue Kick. When she goes for it, Maryse avoids it and slaps Emily. Maryse then hits Emily with the French TKO. Maryse goes for the pin.

1...2...kickout!

Maryse tags me in. I run in and hit Emily with a Clothesline. She gets back up and I lock in a Sleeper Hold. She is forced down to her knees. She ends up getting to the ropes which forces me to release due to the rope break. Emily grabs my arm and tags in Melina. Emily then holds me back for Melina to try to kick me. When Melina does try to kick me, I duck, and she kicks Emily on accident. I pick Melina up and hit a Picture Perfect. I go for the pin.

1...2...kickout!

Melina slaps me. I hold my cheek. I go to kick her, but she dodges with the Matrix Move and hits me with a Clothesline. I start crawling towards my corner to tag in Maryse. Melina tries to stop me, but I manage to hit her with a Dropkick and tag my partner in.

Maryse hits a Thesz Press on Melina. She unloads punches on Melina. When she finally gets off Melina, she waits for Melina to get up. Melina gets hit with the French Kiss. I hit Emily with a Thesz Press as Maryse pins Melina.

1...2...3!

"Here are your winners, Marissa and Maryse!"


After we get backstage after the match, I find Randy in our locker-room. He pulls me into his arms.

"I'm sweaty." I mutter.

"I know." Randy whispers. "But I don't care."

"You don't?"

"Nope."

Randy runs his fingers through my hair. I let my head rest on his chest.

"Kane really pisses me off." Randy tells me. "You know what? A lot of the roster has been on my nerves lately."

"Just come up with some evil plan to beat them all up." I responded. "By the way, I got the match against Kane approved."

"Good to know. I'm ready for this to be over."

"Me too. To be honest, there's some things I want to get over myself."

"Mickie?"

"That's one of them."

"Considering she made comments coming after you as recently as a week ago, I don't blame you."

I chuckle. "You let her have it though."

"I did it to defend you. I won't tolerate her crap."

"I know. You are the best. I hope you know that."

"I love hearing you say that I'm the best."

"You and your ego."

"You love my ego."

"I do. I feel like I don't know what to do about Creative splitting my group up. I don't think they really even listened to me."

"Be persistent. Maybe the girls are right, maybe you all need to go."

"You know why I don't want that."

"I do, but you may not have a choice, Rissa."

I sigh. "You might be right."

"I don't think you should give up on it though."

"Do you think I'm planning on giving up on it?"

Randy laughs. "I know better. You're too stubborn for it."

"I am. Man, I wish we could just relax and not have to worry about all this. It's been hard lately."

"I know, but we'll get there."

"Will it be soon though?"

"Kane will be taken care of soon. I think you should be able to take care of one of your things, either Mickie or the breakup of the Divas of Domination. Things will be better soon. I promise."
