Cuts Heal In Time (CM Punk)

Chapter 42: Amusement Parks

Raw July 2nd

At the beginning of Raw, Punk, Daniel Bryan, and the various superstars who were going to be in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match found themselves in the ring together.

John Cena was the first in the ring. He kicked the show off by addressing the WWE Universe and discussing his preparation for the contract that could put him in direct contention for WWE's supreme prize once again. 

As he spoke to the crowd, Daniel, Punk, and Chris Jericho made their way to the ring to trade verbal barbs and make a case for their own supremacy.

Later in the night, AJ had a mixed tag match with Stephen (Sheamus) against Dolph and Vickie. Aj ended up picking up the win for her team, hitting Vickie with a Shining Wizard before snatching the microphone out of Justin Roberts' hands and screaming "YES!" as she skipped away. However, her joy was cut short when she ran into CM Punk backstage and found out he had entirely missed her match due to a "personal phone call." Little did she know, he was in his locker room messing around with Bella, and she had already pinned Vickie by the time they were finished.

After that, she made a beeline for Bella, who was in catering.

Onscreen:

"Bella!"

"Aj," she nodded.

"Can you believe Punk missed my match?" she asked in disbelief.

"You had a match?"

AJ's mouth dropped.

"I'm kidding. I watched it," she lied, patting the smaller girl on her shoulder, "congrats on the win."

"Thanks," Aj blushed.

"Uh, you're welcome."

"What was your favorite part?" Aj asked, sitting on the table.

"Um, I guess the shining wizard," she literally guessed. That was the finisher Aj was currently using, and obviously she won the match, so Bella figured that was a good guess.

"That was mine too," she giggled to herself.

"Good." Bella was relieved she guessed correctly.

"I can't believe Punk though," she shook her head, "he really missed my match."

"Did he tell you he was going to watch?"

"Well, no," Aj pursed her lips, "But it was implied."

"Oh, it was?"

"Yeah."

"How so?" 

"Well, we kissed."

"Right," Bella trailed off.

"He's the worst." 

"And why are you telling me this?" Bella asked, confused.

Aj looked taken back, "I thought we were friends."

"We're friends," Bella reasoned, "But you do know that Punk is my best friend."

Aj's smile dropped, "Right."

"But if you want, I can make sure he watches your next match."

"You know," Aj began, "I'm not even sure if I want him to watch my matches anymore."

"Good for you Aj."

"As long as you watch my matches," she smiled devilishly at Bella. who had widened eyes as she tried to hold back a chuckle.
