Cuts Heal In Time (CM Punk)

Chapter 45: Money in the Bank

Money in the Bank 2012

Bella sat in the middle of the ring, with a protective mask on her face, waiting for Tamina to walk out.

She would never get tired of fighting at Payperviews. She looked at the crowd in confusion and asked them without the microphone, "Where is she?" wanting to taunt her a bit before she came out.

But before Tamina could walk out, Vince Mcmahon did. 

Bella looked up with from where she was sitting with furrowed eyebrows and demanded a microphone.

Before Vince could speak, Bella spoke up, "Vince. As much as I love seeing that handsome face," the crowd laughed, "I kind of have a match that you're interrupting."

"Well, as much as I hate to do this," he began, "there's not enough time on the card for your match."

"Excuse me?" Bella's eyes went wide as the crowd began to boo. 

"There just isn't enough time, so we're rescheduling your match for Monday Night Raw tomorrow."

"Are you serious?"

"Unfortunately I am."

"I was promised a Payperview title defense."

"I'm sorry about that, really," he said with no emotion on his face, "Maybe at the next one."

"Vince. I knew you didn't give a damn about the divas' division. But when I signed my contract, I truly believed things were changing," She said, still from her seated position, "I thought that when you signed a once in a generation talent like me, you were coming to your senses. I thought you were finally deciding to invest in the divas' division," She stood up from her seated position, "There are women all over the world that can wrestle their asses off. And the fact that WWE is supposed to be the mecca of pro wrestling, but there are Payperviews with not one women's match is an embarrassment. You are an embarrassment."

"Now Bella-" he started, but Bella cut him off, "I wasn't finished," she growled, causing the crowd to cheer, "This is pathetic. Coming to WWE has done absolutely nothing for me except provide me with some new shoes. It's absolutely pathetic how awful you treat the women who work here. You know, I always shit on the other divas for not matching up to me in the ring, but I'm beginning to see why. They have no reason to work hard because there's no point. It doesn't matter how talented they are. All that matters is whether or not they have a pretty face. That's pathetic. You're pathetic for fostering an environment like this. I don't know how your wife or daughter looks you in the eyes."

His face began to get red. 

"You are running this company into the ground. You are completely blind to the talent around you and you are stuck in the past. I actually feel sick to my stomach right now. That's how disgusted I am by you. You better get your shit together or I'll quit and take the divas' championship with me."

She rolled out of the ring, fuming, and walked up the ramp.

-------------------------

A furious Bella had to leave the arena to get some fresh air before going on Twitter.

@wwebellaf: @vincemcmahon didn't tell me my match was CANCELED until I was already dressed and in the ring. In a sad attempt to embarrass me, you made a mockery of yourself.

@wwebellaf: @vincemcmahon look at how much money I have made you in my tenure with the WWE. I have record selling merchandise and 5-star matches despite being given limited time 

@wwebellaf: If any of you want to see what I'm capable of when given the time, respect, and freedom I deserve, watch any of my matches from Japan, Mexico, or SHIMMER 

She felt a smile form on her face when she saw that Punk had the same idea, having already taken to twitter.

@cmpunk: bullshit.

@cmpunk: never met anyone more talented or hardworking than bella. @vincemcmahon is a sexist pos

@cmpunk: Lots of times you don't agree with your boss, but this is plain out stupid. These are the times I question why people still watch us.

Bella began to walk around the neighborhood to clear her head, when her phone started blowing up.

She got multiple texts from Jade:

Jade: TWITTER

Jade: GO ON TWITTER

Jade: BELLA! NOW!

Bella: OK RELAX

Wanting to take a break from her walk, she took a seat on a nearby bench, before going on twitter. She was absolutely blowing up. Her name was trending,

@matthardybrand: @wwebellaf is a gem. too damn good for WWE

@shawnmichaels: @wwebellaf is a star... really annoyed with the booking for #MITB

@johncena: Never give up @wwebellaf you deserved your match

@mariamenounos: I'm a big fan of @wwebellaf and was super pumped to watch her fight tonight :(

@heelziggler: bummed that I didn't get to watch @wwebellaf what's up with that?

@gailkimITSME: not even surprised at what happened to @wwebellaf WWE likes to bury their most talented wrestlers

@randyorton: I would've much rather watched @wwebellaf than some of the other people fighting but what do I know

---------------------------

Punk's match against Daniel was pretty back and forth and with Aj as the ref, things were extra tense. 

But Daniel pushed Punk into Aj and he caught her with an accidental elbow that sent her crashing to the floor. So a replacement referee had to fill in for her.

Bryan eventually hit Punk with a superplex off the top rope that left both of them down on the mat.

Then Aj returned, storming down the ramp to get back into the ring.

She brought a chair into the ring, but instead of hitting any of the men, she dropped it in between them so that they would fight over it. Daniel ended up picking it up first and went to work on Punk.

They went back and forth before Daniel locked Punk in the "Yes!" Lock with a kendo stick, but Punk countered and reversed into a GTS, but he only got a two count.

Punk took control for a bit, before Daniel hit a kick that left him looking dazed which helped him take control again. 

Then out of nowhere, Daniel hit the running knee.

Aj was down on the mat, about to count before Bella's music blared throughout the arena.

Aj's eyes widened at the sight of Bella, who ran down the ramp.

She hopped up on the apron and locked eyes with Aj.

"What are you doing?" Aj asked, "Get down!"

"No!" Bella yelled. Aj took a step closer to Bella, the only thing between them was the ropes.

"What are you doing?" Aj asked once again.

Bella smiled at Aj devilishly before cupping her cheeks and planting a passionate kiss on Aj's lips. 

The crowd went crazy, and Bella soon pulled away. Aj had a confused look on her face that turned into a smirk, as Daniel continued screaming her name.

"Aj! Count!"

She finally remembered that she was reffing the match and when she went to count, too much time had passed, and Punk was able to kick out.

Bella hopped down from the apron, satisfied with her distraction before licking her lips and skipping up the ramp to go back to Punk's locker room.

By the time she got back there, he put Daniel through the table to retain his title
