Royal Rumble: January 31, 2010

"She didn't even show up tonight." Michelle comments.

"Not surprised." I responded.

"Me either." Maryse adds.

"Hey, it's probably good that we have a break from her though. Maryse, you would've probably tried to kick her ass again. Rissa, do I even need to say why to you?" Michelle gives me a serious look.

"I'm sure Eve is pissed at me anyway. I just don't get why that happened in the first place." I roll my eyes.

"That makes two of us." Maryse mutters.

"It's probably good she isn't here for your sake, Rissa, since you called her a slut." Michelle tells me.

"Technically, I did too."

I turn to Michelle. "Do you think I shouldn't have said it?"

"Maybe it wasn't the best move, but you aren't wrong. I did what I did a while back, and even though John and I are clearly past that, I'll admit it's a slut move. Plus, I didn't even do it with one of my best friends' significant other. Eve and Ted crossed the line pretty badly."

"Yeah, speaking of that, Ted is here."

"How do you think Codes is doing?" Maryse asks.

"He's going on a date with Layla on Saturday. I'd say well."

"Yeah, good for him."

"Did you and Ted officially break up?"

"No, I want to see if he'll come running back to me. I want to give him a chance to admit his mistakes and apologize to me."

"On a scale of one to ten, how pissed do you think Eve will be at Layla for going on a date with Cody?"

"On a scale of one to ten of how pissed Eve will be, it'll be an eleven."

"I can see it now. Eve flipping out about this. She brought it on herself though."

"She did."

"Are you ready for our match, Rissa?" Michelle asks.

"I have been ready for this one for weeks."

"Me too. Mickie has had this a long time coming."

"Yeah, she has."

Maryse smiles. "Give Mickie a little comeuppance for that recent attack on me too."

"We will."

("Glamazon" plays)

"The following is an Elimination Fatal Four Way match, and it is for the WWE Women's Championship! Introducing first, from Buffalo, New York, Beth Phoenix!"

("Obsession" plays)

"And her opponent, first, from Richmond, Virginia, Mickie James!"

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 their opponent, from Palatka, Florida, Michelle McCool!"

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 their opponent, from Saint Louis, Missouri, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

This Fatal Four Way is an elimination match, so Michelle and I plan on working together against the other two Divas in the match. Beth stares down Michelle and walks over to her. Beth gets in Michelle's face. I watch them carefully. Beth shouts things that I can't understand at Michelle. Then, I see what's going on, Beth is distracting Michelle to help Mickie. Beth and Michelle are yelling at each other. Mickie sneaks up behind Michelle to attack her, but I grab Mickie by the hair and throw her across the ring. Beth goes after me, but Michelle sends her to the ground with a Big Boot. Mickie is on the top rope about to jump on Michelle, but I kick her in the leg to stop her. Michelle and I climb to the second rope in the same corner as Mickie to perform a Double Superplex, but Beth gets under us and turns it into a Tower of Doom. We all go down. Mickie and Michelle both roll out of the ring. Beth pins me, but I knew she would. This is how I will eliminate her. I was playing a bit possum to lure Beth in.

1...2…

I roll Beth into a Cradle.

1...2...3!

"Beth Phoenix has been eliminated!"

Beth looks at me with shock, but then she smiles.

"That was good, McMahon. You played me well there." Beth laughs. "Now, go win."

Beth leaves the ring. I see Mickie about to hit Michelle with a chair on the outside. I rebound off the ropes and hit Mickie with a Suicide Dive, knocking both of us to the ground. Michelle grabs Mickie and throws her back into the ring.

Michelle goes to hit Mickie with the Big Boot, but Mickie grabs Michelle's leg and tosses her to the ground. Mickie then picks Michelle up and hits her with the MickDT. Mickie pins Michelle as I struggle to try to get back in the ring.

1...2...3!

"Michelle McCool has been eliminated."

I missed saving Michelle from elimination by less than a second. I have to be the one that wins now. I can't let it be Mickie

I duck as Mickie tries to hit me with a chair. I hit her with a Dropkick. She gets back up and runs at me, but I give her an Arm Drag. I then kick her in the face. She looks out of it, so I pick her up and hit the Chaotic Ending. I pin Mickie.

1...2…

I get pulled out of the ring and hit the ground face first as someone continues to attack me. I roll over to see my attacker's face. It's Eve. I feel myself getting dragged into the ring. Mickie hits me with the MickDT before she pins me.

1...2...3!

"Here is your winner and the NEW WWE Women's Champion, Mickie James!"

Mickie skips up the ramp with the championship that should've still been mine. Eve is still standing at ringside.

I roll out of the ring to immediately confront Eve about her actions. "You already caused enough problems by sleeping with DiBiase. This isn't helping you any. What the hell, Eve?"

"You called me a slut." Eve responds. "Did you expect me to just take that, Rissa?"

"Well, considering that's what you acted like, you should've, but since you decided to cost me my Women's Championship…" I slap Eve.

Eve falls to the ground whilst holding her cheek and looks at me angrily.

I walk up the ramp. "It's on now, Torres. It's on. You just started something you can't finish."
