SmackDown Filming: December 15, 2009

"I need coffee…" Maryse whines.

"How do you drink it so much?" I ask.

"Because it's amazing, and I can't go without it. You're missing out."

I roll my eyes. "I do drink coffee, but I don't drink as much coffee as you do."

I need to go find Randy, but I'm not ready to get off the couch. I remain on the couch and admire my Slammy Award from last night.

"Do you like your Slammy?" Maryse asks. "I swear I keep seeing you looking at it."

"Yeah, I never thought I'd win one. It's kinda cool."

Michelle walks in and yawns. "I need some sleep…"

"Do you all need something?" I turn to Eve.

"Well, I feel like I need a chocolate bar..." Eve says.

"Of course you do." I roll my eyes.

Legacy walks in, so I get up. Ted hugs Maryse and me. Cody kisses Eve. Randy wraps his arms around me.

"Hey, handsome." I mutter..

"What are you up to?" Randy whispers.

"Nothing right now honestly."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive."

"Okay, I love you." Randy kisses my forehead.

"I love you too."

Michelle turns to me. "Have you talked to your dad yet?"

I nod. "Yeah, I did talk to my dad before I came in here."

"What did he say?"

"He's going to let us have the match at Royal Rumble. We're getting our Triple Threat with Mickie."

"Great!"

"Why did you guys ask for a Triple Threat with Mickie?" Cody questions.

I shrug. "I'm trying to end this bullshit with Mickie. Michelle didn't get pinned or tapped out at TLC. She's also got her own issues with Mickie. We had a discussion and agreed that we could do a Triple Threat match."

"And Mickie doesn't know yet." Michelle adds.

"That too. I have a Singles match with Mickie tonight, but I don't think I'll be getting my end to this tonight. It'll take time."

"Well, you've got time to plot what you want to do to her at the Royal Rumble."

"I know. I'll take that time to plot for sure."

("Obsession" plays)

"This is a Divas match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Richmond, Virginia, Mickie James!"

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…

"And her opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Eve Torres and Maryse, from Saint Louis Missouri, the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

I locked up with the woman who attacked me on Sunday. Mickie throws me across the ring. I land hard. She pulls me up by my hair. I slap her and catch her with a Headscissors. Mickie flies across the ring. I go for a Picture Perfect to end this match quick, but Mickie somehow reverses it into a Long Kiss Goodnight. Mickie pins me.

1...2...kickout!

I roll Mickie into a Cradle.

1...2...kickout!

Mickie Clotheslines me. I poke her in the eye. She reverses my Powerbomb attempt into a Snap DDT and pins me.

1...kickout!

I hit Mickie with a Chaotic Ending. I catch her with a knee to the head while she's on the ground. I pin her.

1...2...kickout!

Mickie nails me with a Clothesline. I get up and get hit with a MickDT. Mickie pins me.

1...2...3!

"Here is your winner, Mickie James!"

Things didn't go as planned, and I was disappointed. Mickie smirks at me as I'm on the ground. I go to roll out of the ring, but she pulls me up by my hair.

"I want your title." Mickie sternly tells me. "I will be the next Women's Champion."

Mickie slaps me and goes to leave the ring. I pull her back in the ring and hit her with a Chaotic Ending.

I grab a microphone. "So you want a title shot, Mickie?! Well, you've got one! At Royal Rumble, it'll be you versus me versus the woman I didn't pin or submit on Sunday, Michelle McCool! You can have your shot, but you won't be champion!"

Randy smiles at me while I'm changing into my normal clothes. "Don't be hard on yourself for losing to Mickie tonight."

I give him a serious look. "Why shouldn't I be hard on myself for losing? I shouldn't have lost to Mickie. There's no reason for me to have lost the match to her other than I wasn't doing my best tonight."

"And we all have bad nights sometimes. At least it wasn't for the Women's Championship tonight. You still are the Women's Champion."

"I know, but losing to Mickie tonight is only going to make it harder to shut her up for good."

"I know, but you'll still find a way to shut Mickie up. We both know you'll get it done. If I could finish things with Kane, you can finish things with Mickie."

"I hope so."

Randy stands up as I finish changing and pulls me close. "You'll get it done. You're just being hard on yourself because you lost tonight to Mickie and Creative rejected you on Sunday. You're too stubborn to give up so easily though. We both know that. You don't need to be so hard on yourself."

I sigh. "I know, but it's stressful."

"I know, Rissa, but you're gonna do it. I have faith in you. Have some faith in yourself."

I smile. "Thanks, Randy."

"Just think about it, once you take of Mickie, you can focus on getting ready for WrestleMania, and you could have the Divas of Domination all together by the time that comes."

"I hope so."

"You'll figure all of this out."

"I'm trying. What about you? Have you figured out if you can find your way to going after the WWE Championship?"

"I'm working on it. Sheamus has no issue defending against me. I just need higher ups to let me or give a Number One Contender's match."

"You should talk to my dad. He'd probably give it to you."

"I'll talk to him Monday. What about you? Have you discussed your issue with your group getting split up with him?"

"No, but I was hoping it wouldn't have to get to that point."

"You may need to."

"Let's put a pin in that for now, Randy."
