Christy was at the head of the rope while Mickie anchored the team, Trish, Eve, Jamie and Amy comprising the remainder. Across from them, A.J was at the head of the rope with Cena anchoring, Chris, Punk, Josh and Alex making up the rest.
The guys, at this point, were just trying to save face and trying to avoid being completely swept by the girls. Not to mention the fact that their fragile egos were already stinging and hard.
“You know,” Eve began while they waited, “if it weren’t for the fact that they were so damn cocky about this, I might almost feel bad.”
Amy scoffed, “I wouldn’t, regardless of the situation. This has been a long time coming where it concerns that group of miscreants.” A pause, “Josh excluded, of course, since we’ve only just met him this year.”
Jamie smirked a little, “doesn’t always seem that way though.”
“No,” Amy agreed, the two watching as they guys were huddled together, “I know that we could get disqualified but, we have the perfect opportunity…”
“We could just say that we were warming up?” Mickie suggested, a smirk on her face. “It’s not our fault if they aren’t ready.”
Christy glanced back, “but that could jeopardize our total victory and I want to be able to rub this in for years to come.”
And that point seemed to outweigh any other, the women waiting until the guys were ready before setting up; bare feet digging into the sand. Despite the obvious weight differences, the girls were able to put up a good fight though on more than once occasion, Christy was teetering close to the edge of the water pit.
But then, it just took one moment of hesitation on the guys’ part, probably convinced that they had won. And that dismissal had been all the girls needed to find that one last burst of strength. Giving one almighty tug they sent A.J, Chris and Punk into the mud put; Amy and Jamie deciding that Alex and Josh needed to be dunked as well.
