SmackDown Filming: January 5, 2010

"So what's on your plate tonight, beautiful?" Randy asks me as I'm putting my ring gear on. "I know you don't have a match. What's got you putting gear on?"

I smile. "I'm gonna kick Mickie's ass one way or another. Chelle and Layla have a Tag Team match against Emily and Kelly. I'm expecting Mickie to make an appearance either during or after that match."

"So you're gonna go after her when she goes after Chelle?"

"Exactly."

"Good idea. I kinda wish I'd have something to do like you do when we come to SmackDown. I don't mind watching you do your thing and supporting you, but sometimes, sitting around with nothing to do myself makes me bored."

"I know there's the Brand Split, but you ought to talk to Teddy Long. He likes you. He'd probably get you a match sometimes when we're here."

"That's not a bad idea. I may need to do that and see what Teddy can do."

"We could at least get an occasional Mixed Tag Team match if anything."

"I'd take that. I like doing stuff with you, and I doubt anyone here can beat us in a Mixed Tag Team match."

"I agree. We do have some pretty great chemistry in the ring."

Randy laughs. "That's what I keep hearing. Anyway, kick Mickie's ass a little extra for me tonight."

"Did she do something else I don't know about or is this just about you being sick of her?"

"For once, Mickie hasn't done something else. I am also just really sick of her trying to get between us and disrespecting you. I don't get to wrestle and fight her like you do, so you gotta get some in on my behalf, Rissa."

"Don't worry, I've got you covered, and if she somehow gets the best of me tonight, Michelle can get her hands on Mickie too."

"That's true, but I'm doubtful Mickie will get the best of you tonight."

"Me too. I'll get her tonight."

Michelle hits Emily with a Faithbreaker and pins her as Layla holds onto Kelly's leg to avoid having her break the pin.

1...2...3!

"Here are your winners, Michelle McCool and Layla!"

Michelle and Layla just beat Emily and Kelly in a Tag Team match. As they celebrate, Mickie attacks Michelle from behind. Mickie then turns around and attacks Layla. I run down the ramp and slide into the ring, coming face to face with Mickie. We stare each other down.

"Go ahead." I taunt Mickie as we remained looking at each other. "I'm right here. Do it. Try it. Try to hit me."

"Why should I?" Mickie questions. "What are you up to?"

"Are you scared to hit me, Mickie?"

Mickie goes to walk away, but I grab her arm.

"You know what?" I give Mickie a serious look. "Why don't we have a match? Right here, right now, and I'll even put my WWE Women's Championship on the line. You can't say no to that, Mickie."

Mickie sighs. "Fine…you're on."

I hand the referee my title.

"This is a Divas match scheduled for one, and it is for the WWE Women's Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, from Richmond, Virginia, Mickie James!" Tony Chimel announces.

Mickie poses for the crowd.

Tony continues. "And the opponent, from Saint Louis, Missouri, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

I pose for the crowd.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Mickie and I lock up. I run Mickie into the corner of the ring. I continue to punch her. I get pulled off by the referee. Mickie tackles me to the ground and punches me continuously. I shove her off of me. I then get up and pull her up by her hair and hit a Neckbreaker. I pin Mickie.

1...2...kickout!

Mickie hits me with a MickDT and pins me.

1...2...kickout!

Mickie goes to Irish Whip me into the corner, but I reverse it, making her go into the opposite corner. I lifted Mickie up onto the top turnbuckle and hit a Superplex. I do a taunt.

"I'm the Queen of Chaos! And I am the best!" I shout in Mickie's face.

Mickie shoves me down and rolls me into a Cradle.

1...2...kickout!

Mickie and I fight for a few minutes before I lock her in a submission hold that I rarely use, the Octopus Stretch. Mickie tries to reach the ropes, but I weaken her to her knees before she makes it. Mickie taps out.

"Here is your winner and STILL the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

I roll out of the ring and hold up my championship as I walk up the ramp. Tonight went very well for me.

Randy stands in guerilla as I make it backstage. "That was a big risk you took out there. I didn't expect you to put your Women's Championship on the line."

"It was my only way to sucker her into a match." I shrug. "It's not like I lost the Women's Championship."

"Seeing that makes me a lot more confident that she won't be walking out of Royal Rumble as the Women's Champion." Michelle tells me as she walks over. "It's between you and me. One of us will be the Women's Champion after that Triple Threat."

"Either way, we both know it's a good result."

"Exactly, and if we don't have an answer about keeping the Divas of Domination together by then, I think we might need to ask your dad about it again."

"Agreed."

Randy pulls me close. "Hopefully everything works out for you guys. Man, I'd be pissed off if Legacy was in your situation."

"As your girlfriend, I'd also be pissed off about that, but one way or another, I'll figure this out. I'll find a way. I can be as stubborn as I have to be."

Michelle laughs. "Makes me glad we're fighting for the same thing. You're so stubborn."

"You guys wouldn't want me any other way though."

"Well, Randy is almost as stubborn as you are. I think he needs you to balance it out."

Randy rolls his eyes. "You don't have the right to talk about my stubbornness."

"I think I just did. I'm gonna go find John. See you later, Rissa." Michelle walks off.

"Chelle is right though." I tell Randy. "You're really damn stubborn."

"I know, but you can talk about it since you're my girlfriend who is always putting up with me. She's not you."

I laugh. "So people have to earn the right to talk about your stubbornness?"

"As far as I'm concerned, yes, they do."

I shake my head as Randy and I exit guerilla. "You're such a pain in the ass."

"You always tell me that."
