John Cena and Nikki Bella beat Miz and Maryse after a grueling 20 minute barnburner. As they're celebrating, Nikki stops and stands in the middle of the ring. She looks expectant, like a moment that is going to change her life is inevitably near. She wants John to tell her something. She wants John to ASK her something. They lock eyes and the mood turns intimate - like 70,000 screaming fans faded into nothingness and the ring was the size of a spotlight.
John moves towards her - deliberate, but not hastily. He feels the gravity of this moment push down on him harder and harder with each step he takes. He is five feet from her. The world gets even smaller. He's next to her. She looks softly upward and he slightly downward. Her lips curl to a smile and his remain steadfast. Nikki's head turns slightly in a playfully quizzical way.
"John. It's been a long time that we've been wrestling... with our hearts. I love you and I want you to know that it's okay to love me too. Don't you have something you'd like to ask me?"
John looks at her and feels the pitter-patter of her words against his soul. He allows himself a smile to mirror hers. His hands caress her shoulders and he leans close to her face - an immediacy hot enough to melt glaciers.
"Nikki. Honey. I told you from the very start..." A tear rolls from her eye as she takes in his words. This is it. Their time is now.
John's right hand moves from her shoulder and finds itself in front of her face. "YOU CAN'T SEE ME!" John yells as he wiggles it back and forth like a windshield wiper with ADHD. The next thing she knows, she's up on his shoulders and crashing down to the mat in an Attitude Adjustment from the man she's loved for so long. Her body feels nothing but the pain in her heart from John's betrayal and rejection. Her senses are dulled to the point of uselessness. She barely hears John telling her that there was somebody else. She doesn't feel the snapping and twisting of her limbs as John locks her in the STF with her face pointed towards the entrance ramp to see who this mystery lover that ruined everything will be. She hears one last sound in the distance before her consciousness slips away:
*BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE MOOOOOOOODE*
