MNR - 1/30/12 *Part 2*

**POV Warning: This chapter contains lots of The Miz's thoughts and feelings.**

Arena - 10: 47 p.m.

The Miz waited for "The Viper" to make his hysterical entrance, where he would walk down the ramp all slow and cool like he was all that and then some...

And then sure enough...

"I hear voices in my head, they council me.. they understand.. they talk to me.."

Randy Orton's music hits and the people in the audience go crazy with their pathetic "Apex Predator" t-shirts and loser signs and stupid camcorders... 

Orton stopped at the end of the ramp, staring at him in disgust like he was some sort of useless piece of trash..

And that's exactly what Randy thought of him. 

.......

Miz watched as he raised the WWE title into the air up in the corner of the ring and how the hundreds of people in Philadelphia responded with delight..

When Orton got down and handed the Championship to the ref, Maryse's song began and she strutted out onto the stage. The crowd was happy to see her as she walked down the ramp in her beautiful beige dress and brown boots.. Her hair was long & curly and her nails were perfectly done (as usual.) She smiled and winked at Randy as she made her way over to the announce table.. The Miz looked watched her with a smirk, apparently thinking that he was the one she winked at.. 

Randy had a thing about Maryse coming out and watching his matches because he didn't like distractions.. But this distraction was looking particularly hot tonight.. so he let it slide just this once.

The bell rang and Miz blew a kiss at Maryse, who wrinkled her nose in disgust and gave him the hand in response.

Randy laughed and shook his head when Miz  made a pout with his lips, then got serious and lunged at him fiercely. 

A few good right hands and The Miz was holding his head in pain.. Then Randy held him up and pushed him into the ropes. When Miz bounced back, he clotheslined Orton and went for a quick cover, which the Viper kicked out of..

Then he got angry and started stomping on Orton's left leg repeatedly.. 

Stupid Randy! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

Randy clenched his teeth in pain as he grabbed his leg and crawled over into the corner..

The Miz stepped all the way back into the oppsite corner, then ran and hit Randy with his signature turnbuckle move.

He smiled triumphantly and looked at Maryse. She, of couse, was paying no attention to him as she studied her french manicure..

Miz was lookin' to end things early and stood behind Randy as the Viper tried getting to his feet..

C'mon... 

C'mon...

C'mon..

Finally, Orton was on two feet and The Miz went to the side of him, wrapping his arms behind his head for the Skull-Crushing Finale, but Randy threw him forward, over his head.

Maryse was actually watching now, as Miz regained his balance and composure and charged toward Randy, but..

He ran into an RKO... 

Then Orton slithered into the cover, and pinned Miz for a three-count.

The WWE Universe cheered wildly as the annoucer said, "And here's your winner, the WWE Champion.. Randyyyyy Ortonnnnn!"

Maryse smiled, got up and headed towards the ring. 

The referee handed Randy his WWE title and raisd his arm in victory.. Maryse clapped and hugged him.. he put his arm around her as they watched The Miz lay flat on his back..

Randy shook his head. And that's what happens when you don't learn to keep your mouth shut...
