Billion Dollar Bitch
It's time. Monday Night Raw. Stephanie's made it clear to Stacy that she's not going to be playing games. However, has Stacy realized that the McMahon genes are too much for her? Or will she go blindly into Raw thinking, she has an opportunity to shine?

Stephanie McMahon is sitting at a long rectangular table. Several other RHW superstars are sitting along the table also, like John Cena, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn, Jazz, the list goes on. Stephanie however, is growing somewhat agitated, as the session has gone on for nearly an hour and yet not a question has been asked to her. Instead, questions have been asked to the likes of John Cena, about his Royal Rumble match, or to Sean O'Haire about his final royal rumble entry.
[::] Reporter #4 - Amy [::] Stephanie!
[::] Beauty Personified - Stephanie McMahon [::] Yes?
[::] Reporter #4 - Amy [::] What are your thoughts about Monday Night Raw? The final Raw before Royal Rumble?
[::] Beauty Personified - Stephanie McMahon [::] I think it's going to definitely be a deciding factor on the morale of those involved come next Sunday. A win can propel you forward while a loss can shove you down into a rut that you can't get out of in time. So it can make or break someone in an instant, depending on how they play their cards.
[::] Reporter #5 - Steven [::] Have you heard the latest poll? 67% of RHW viewers are expecting you and Chris Jericho to lose tonight against Randy Orton and Stacy Keibler…
[::] Beauty Personified - Stephanie McMahon [::] How many times are these polls correct? People's opinions can be swayed, whilst facts cannot. Chris Jericho is one of the greatest RHW superstars ever, and with me in the ring along side him, I don't think there's anything he and I can't accomplish both in and out of the ring. All I have to do is focus on Stacy, and let Chris take care of Randy. And if Randy decides he wants to get a little randy with ME, then I'll take care of him while I'm at it. I've progressed quite a ways since my days with WWE where I hit slaps and kicks. This makes my women's title defense against Lita at WWE look like a cakewalk. Trust me, Stacy isn't ready for what I've got in store for her. And Randy, as well as every RHW fan, might come out surprised.
[::] Reporter #4 - Amy [::] Stacy Keibler is a former Women's tag team champion, and Randy is a former Hardcore, United Conqueror, and Columbus champion, as WELL as former tag team champion…
[::] Beauty Personified - Stephanie McMahon [::] The keyword there, is former. They've all been beaten, they all have their flaws and their losses. I'm not going in there thinking this is going to be easy, but this also isn't going to be the biggest fight of my life. I know from both what I've experienced as well as seen… Stacy's head might be into it, but her heart isn't and neither is her body. Stacy can't hold a candle to real competitors here in RHW, and that alone is going to be her biggest obstacle to overcome. Herself. If she can't get over her own demons, and exorcise them before Raw starts tonight, she's in for it. She can't handle what's become of her, and she can't handle the ferocity of a challenge in the ring. Physically, she'll be spent. Mentally, she might not even be there to begin with. Her concern is on Randy Orton at Royal Rumble, and Randy at the Rumble alone. She's neglecting to remember, that Randy has to make it past tonight. As does she. Making threats for the future don't mean anything if the present doesn't catch up and bite them in the ass first.
[::] Reporter #5 - Steven [::] Speaking of Royal Rumble, do you have anything to say in regards to the Women's Free For All match? You're going up against quite the competition…
[::] Beauty Personified - Stephanie McMahon [::] Oh I do have something to say, but I'll let my actions do some of the talking for me tonight when I waste one of the opponents I have to deal with come Sunday.
Stephanie stands up as the reporters suddenly find her more interesting now that she's put forth verbal threats. She ignores them for the vast majority before exiting from the miniature stage and heading out the back exit.

- When in Doubt :: Dish it out -
Steph is alone in her and Chris' locker room. She's seen neither hide nor tail of her man in shining armour as of late, but she quarries not over this minor dilemma as she sips at a bottle of water, her arms resting on her knees as she stares halfheartedly at Randy Orton's first promo, as they recap it for tonight's big match.
[::] Beauty Personified - Stephanie McMahon [::] God Randy, you can't expect anyone to believe this, can you? You've become so ass backwards that you're about to shit through your nostrils. Kiddo, you'd better realize, and fast, the mistake you're making. You're trying to say Chris has bad karma? For costing you that match last week? I beg to differ with you. You were the one who ran down Jericho weeks ago. You were the one out for vengeance, trying to maim and retire a living legend. And you say he has bad karma? No Randy... What you did, is going to come back threefold, and Monday Night was barely the tip of the iceberg. You tried to end a person's career, and extinguish the very flame that keeps many of these competitors going night in and night out. And for what? Out of jealousy? Out of spite? The god's don't favor that Randy, and the only sacrifice they're going to accept, I hate to tell you, will be your broken body lying in an unconscious heap on the mat at Royal Rumble, courtesy of Christopher Irvine.
She stares again, squinting at his shadowed figure before sighing and setting her water bottle down on the table before her.
[::] Beauty Personified - Stephanie McMahon [::] Yes, everything about Jericho is fueling your hatred. You forget Randy, you once were his shadow. You were once the man who idolized his every move. Worshiped the ground he walked upon. You were once... The sole proprietor to the teachings of someone as schooled as he is. This man isn't serious you say? He's a joke? I'll have you know rookie boy, that Chris Jericho is a member of one of the most elite groups of professional wrestlers to ever grace this earth. He's a graduate of the Hart Dungeon.
Stephanie crosses herself as she says this, giving proper respect to the deceased Stu Hart.
[::] Beauty Personified - Stephanie McMahon [::] Out of thirty men, all save two, left and went home. Bodies broken. Minds warped. Their lives forever changed, at the hands of failure. Can you image those who prospered? Lance Evers, known to this industry as the anti-charismatic Lance Storm… and Chris Irvine, your supposed mortal enemy, Chris Jericho. Two of the finest technical athletes to ever step between the ropes. And you defile this as a joke? Randy, running around with a cheerleader, is a joke. Having to resort to potential vehicular manslaughter, is a joke in this business. You'd think, if you were to make an impression… you'd at least be original about it. But no. You had to go and mimic a fat samoan man. I shudder to think what you must come up with in your spare time. I hate to break it to you, but the 'look at me!' thing was already done. Try harder next time.
[::] Beauty Personified - Stephanie McMahon [::] The future won't be passing Jericho by.. The future is the one stopping at every turn, letting you go to the bathroom and release your little piss breaks. You have potential, I won't lie. My experience in this business knows reality from fiction, and that line is becoming more and more blurred with you Randy. You can't tell what's real and what's fake anymore. And I'll give you a hint, Stacy's chest is real. In all seriousness Randy, you were never billed to be intimidating. You were never imagined to be anything more, than a third rate, only in the business because his daddy was, loser. Now, I can understand you saying the same about me. As a matter of fact, I would expect it even. But the thing of that is, I worked my ass off to get where I am. My father, you should know, would never accept anything less than greatness. I have my college degree to do what I did for my father's company. I've been involved since I was in diapers. And speaking of which? You might want to stock up… because I have a feeling that after Royal Rumble is over and done with? You might not be leaving your bed for a very… very long time.
With that, Steph turns off the promo on her television and takes another drink of her water before she rummages through her suitcase to prepare for her match tonight against Randy Orton and Stacy Keibler.
