Raw: November 30, 2009

"It's almost December." I tell Eve.

"That isn't good." Eve comments. "I hate Winter."

"I don't see why."

"It's too cold for me. What are we doing tonight?"

"I'm challenging Melina to a match, Marissa is fighting Layla, and Eve, you unfortunately have nothing." Maryse answers as she walks in.

"Okay then. I'm leaving."

"Bye."

"Actually, wait a second, Eve." I tell Eve.

Eve turns around and looks at me. "What's up?"

"I've already discussed this with Michelle, but I need to tell you two. I'm giving in. I'll let you guys come with me to talk to Creative about splitting us up if you still want to. However, I want to plan this meticulously if we're all going to go because I don't want this to backfire, alright?"

"Alright, keep me in the loop about this plan. Is that all you needed?"

"Yeah, you're good to go now."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye." I turn to Maryse as Eve leaves. "How was your Thanksgiving?"

"Pretty fun, how was yours?"

"I did enjoy it some, but I wish I could have enjoyed it more. Randy and I are both so stressed about work though. It affected how much we could actually enjoy the holiday."

"Fair enough. It sucks that Creative wants me to split from the group soon."

"I know. That's why I want to speak to them again sooner than later. I think they're wanting to have Eve and I separate soon after you split."

"This sucks."

"I know."

"I heard about your plan for tonight too by the way."

"Are you gonna tell me it's too risky?"

"No, I just want you to be careful. With Ted, Cody, and Randy all planning on being there, you should be pretty safe, but still…"

"I get where you're coming from. I'll be careful. Randy was reluctant about this at first."

"He's got good reason to. Let's go find our boys before the show. I'm sure you'll want to discuss this plan to lure out Kane anyway."

"Right behind you."


"I need a drink." I mutter as we sit in mine and Randy's locker-room.

"You said you needed cake earlier." Maryse comments.

"I need both."

"I'll get you rum, Coke, and some chocolate cake before we get to the hotel." Randy tells me.

"This is why you're a great example of an awesome boyfriend."

"Thanks, Rissa."

"I got to go. It's time for me to face Melina." Maryse tells us.

"I'll walk you to guerilla." Ted says as he stands up.

They leave. Randy cuddles with me.

"Thank you." I whisper.

"You're welcome." Randy responds.

"I can tell you're nervous."

"I'm going to be a bit nervous until we take care of this tonight. I'm gonna be concerned about your safety until it's done."

"I know. I'll be okay though."

"I'm trying to ensure that you are. You didn't have to do this for me."

"I know I didn't, but I'm just as sick of Kane as you are. This is the least I could do to help you get your hands on him some."

"And I'll be sure to show you how much I appreciate it once we take care of this tonight. Please tell me you have still focused on your match a little though."

"I am focused on my match. Layla isn't someone to look over, especially since she does train with Michelle sometimes now."

"Glad to hear you've still got your head straight."

"Trust me, I'm focused."

"Good, Maryse's match is starting."

We look at the TV and watch Maryse's match.

Randy grabs my hand. "I've got you tonight. It's about time we have the upper hand in this."

"We should. It's not like Kane has buddies around really now. Kelly, Miz, and the rest of them have split off from this shit now." I tell Randy.

"I know, but I don't think we can be too careful tonight."

After Maryse's match is over, I kiss Randy on the cheek. "I need to get going myself. See you out there?"

Randy nods. "See you out there. Go beat Layla."

"I plan on it." I smile and leave for my own match.


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, the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

You're not enough for me (Oh no no)

Just another man in love with me (Just another man ooh)

Gotta open up your eyes and see (hey, hey Oh well)

You're not enough for me (oh no)...

"And her opponent, from Miami, Florida, being accompanied to the ring by Michelle McCool, Layla!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Layla and I lock up. I toss her across the ring. Layla gets up and hits me with a Clothesline. She picks me up and hits the Layout. She pins me.

1...kickout!

I slap Layla before getting ready to hit a Picture Perfect, but before I can, Michelle pulls on my arm and starts yelling at me. Layla rolls me into a cradle, but I reverse it into my own pin.

1...2...3!

"Here is your winner, Marissa!"

Layla exits the ring and, along with Michelle, quickly heads backstage to give me my time to do what needed to be done.

I grab a microphone to cut a promo on my own. "And that's another one down. You know, in two weeks, we have the TLC pay-per-view, but I don't have a match for the show yet. It seems that no one wants to step up to me and…"

("Man on Fire" plays)

I jump at the sound of Kane's music and an explosion. I act fearful as Kane starts heading down towards the ring, but I wasn't afraid, knowing that Legacy would be around any moment now.

Just as Kane climbs onto the ring apron, Ted comes out of the crowd and jumps him from behind. Cody appears from the other side of the crowd to join in and help Ted. I feel Randy's arms wrap around me.

"I owe you one." Randy whispers as he carries me out of the ring. "Thanks, Rissa."

"No problem." I kiss Randy's cheek as he sets me on the other side of the barricade. "Go get him."

"On it. See you backstage." Randy goes to join in on beating Kane as I go through the crowd to head backstage.
