The Wizard of RAW…Oz meets WWE! (by the way, I actually found a copy of the script of Oz online so I am following the movie…but it's WWE style. I'm not going to follow it religiously however, as Beth ends up in Oz and meets Scarecrow, Tinman, Lion and journeys to Oz it will get funnier, I promise! Some of the lines I have the WWE characters saying are very close to original lines or are actual lines from the movie. The thing that has been most fun for me while writing this is changing the songs to make them lol-able. I can't wait until you read the songs for Scarecrow, Tinman, and Lion. I hope they make some of you lol. So here is the story!

Chapter 1

Tonight RAW was filming at and arena in Kansas. Inside that arena Beth Phoenix ran down the hallway and stopped. Santino trailed closely behind her hanging his head a bit and looking sad and sullen like a little puppy. Beth stopped and turned to him. Her platinum hair was pulled back into two sunny pony tails that hung down her back. She wore a blue and white checked shirt which she had rolled up and tied the bottom of it in a knot to reveal her midriff. With this she wore tight jeans and black heels. She watched down the hallway to make sure he wasn't coming after them.

"He isn't coming yet, 'Tino. Did he hurt you? He tried to, didn't he? Come on—we'll go tell Adamle and McMahon." Beth wrapped her arms around her boyfriend and stroked his hair. "Come on, 'Tino."

Santino gave a slight whimper and followed Beth down the hallway.

"Mr. Adamle, Mr. McMahon!" Beth hollered as she spied the two men squabbling and squawking over something. "Mr. M, Mr. M!"

"I'm telling you Adamle--" McMahon began, his brows bunching in annoyance at the other man.

"Just listen to what Shane-O did to 'Tino!" Beth said cutting in between the two men and stroking Santino's hand.

"Beth, please, we're trying to discuss something here." McMahon growled.

"Don't bother us now Beth, this is important business with myself and Vince." Adamle put in.

Beth looked a bit distressed that the two men were ignoring her. They began to go back to their bickering.

"I—I understand but, oh, Mr. M! Shane just hit 'Tino in the back with a chair just because he got in Shane's office and was looking through his things."

"Beth, please!" Vince shot her a hard glance.

"But 'Tino doesn't do it all the time, and he's too dumb to figure anything out anyway! Now Shane say's he's going to call the police and--"

"Beth!" Vince turned to her with a bark. "Beth, we are busy!" He boomed inching closer to her. His eyes glimmered with annoyance.

"Alright." Beth finally sighed, defeated. Beth slinked away from the two men with Santino wandering behind her. In the back stage area Beth saw three men warming up before tonight's RAW show. Jamie Noble was struggling to lift some heavy weights. Nearby stood Kane and John Cena who watched the scene.

"How am I doin'?" Jamie managed to grunt out as he strained with the weights.

"Careful Jamie, don't strain yourself." Kane warned.

Suddenly, one of the weights rolled out from Jamie's hand and landed with a thunk on John's foot.

"Ow!" John drew his foot up and hopped around holding it. "Right on my foot!"

"Well you should have moved your foot out of the way!" Kane growled.

Beth approached the three men and stood with her hands on her hips.

"Right on my foot!" John repeated bending and massaging his hurt toes.

"Lucky it wasn't yer head boy." Jamie laughed with a grin.

"Jamie, what am I going to do about Shane? Just because 'Tino--"

"Listen Beth, Jamie Noble's got some things to do before the match tonight. Gotta go out t'the ring and get a little last minute practicin' in." Jamie curled up his arm in a flex and tapped a finger against the muscle, as though Beth was supposed to be impressed.

"Now, look Beth." John butted in to the conversation. "You're not using your head against Shane. You'd think you didn't have any brains at all."

Beth snarled at John and threatened to step on his already sore foot.

"I do too have brains!"

"Well, why don't you use them? Just keep Santino with you and don't go near Shane. Santino won't go snooping in his office and you won't get into trouble. See?" John said proudly, as though he had just solved world hunger. He crossed his arms over his muscled chest.

"Oh, Cena, you just don't listen!" Beth rolled her eyes.

"Well, your head isn't made out of straw you know." John retorted and tapped the side of his head.

Beth sighed and walked away from John. Jamie made his way out of the backstage area and up to the ring to get in some last minutes practicing. Beth stopped when she saw Kane rubbing at his knee. He groaned and lowered his frame onto a metal chair.

"Feels like my joints are rusted." He muttered. He rubbed at his knee and looked up, seeing Beth there. "You listen to me Beth, don't let Cena kid you about Shane-O. He's just a sour-face spoiled brat at that." Kane stopped and looked around to make sure McMahon didn't hear his negative comment about his son. "He doesn't have a heart, you know?" Kane studied Beth's face. "You should have a little more heart Beth, and take some pity on him."

"Well, I try to have a heart." Beth mumbled casting her eyes downward.

Kane reached for his bag with his wrestling tights inside and pulled his hand up. It was smeared with a dark smudge.

"Oil…that's what I get for riding to the arena with Taker on his bike." Kane mumbled. Beth left the bald man to himself and left the backstage area and walked out to the ring. Santino hoisted himself up onto the barricade between the first row of seats and the ring area. He scratched at his ear like a flea bitten mutt. Beth made her way to the ring where Jamie was practicing moves.

"Listen 'ere Beth, you ain't gonna let that swine Shane make a fool outta ya, are ya?" Jamie asked as he bounced around the ropes. "He ain't nothin' to be afraid of. Have a little courage, that's all."

"I'm not afraid of him." Beth said as she climbed the turnbuckle.

"The next time he squawks, walk right up t'the guy and spit in his eye, that's what I'd do." Jamie said as he paid little attention to Beth who was balancing on the turnbuckle and more attention to his own practicing. Beth let out a shriek as she lost her footing and toppled backward. Jamie jerked his head up just in time to see her fall, and he quickly ran to the other side of the ring and ducked under the ropes and knelt to where Beth was lying on the floor groaning. Jamie quickly helped her up and then sat on the edge of the ring mopping his brow.

"Are y' alright Beth?"

"Yeah, I think I'm okay. I just fell." Beth rubbed at the small of her back and sat next to Jamie on the apron. Kane, John, Adamle, and McMahon had all wandered out to the ring and had seen Beth's spill and Jamie's reaction. "Jamie, you're more scared than I was!" Beth exclaimed with a little laugh.

"What's wrong Jamie, you gonna let one little fall rattle you like that?" John said with a smirk.

"Look at you Jamie, you're white as a ghost." Kane laughed.

"What's all this jabbering when I have a show to run?" McMahon growled at the group. "I know three bone-headed superstars that are gonna be out of their jobs if they don't get their asses moving."

"Well, Beth was up on the turnbuckle see--" Kane started but was interrupted by Vince.

"I saw what happened, now get moving!" Vince ordered.

"Vince, one day I'm going to be a hall of famer. Then you won't be able to talk to me like that!" Kane declared while wagging his finger at his boss.

"Yeah, and maybe they'll just make a statue in tribute to you Kane." Vince laughed with sarcasm. "But I wouldn't start posing for it now." Vince clapped the big bald man on the shoulder. Kane glared at Vince before jerking away from his hand and ambling away from the ring.

"Vince, y'see Beth here was up on the turnbuckle and she just kinda toppled off." Jamie explained.

"I get it. You guys shouldn't be out here right now anyway."

"Yes sir." Jamie cast his eyes downward. Beth turned to Vince, figuring now maybe she could get a word to him about his son.

"Mr. M, do you know what Shane said he was going to do to 'Tino? He said--"

Vince stopped the blond woman with an interjection.

"Beth, you're just imagining things. You always get yourself all worried over nothing."

"No--" Beth tried, but again her words were usurped by interruption via Vince.

"Now Beth, why don't you just help all of us out and find some place where you won't get in to any trouble!" Vince growled at her. Beth hung her head as Vince walked away from the ring. He seemed to treat her like an annoying little kid. She was not respected, she may as well have been a joke to him. Her problems didn't matter. All the other superstars had already left, leaving her and Santino by herself. 'Tino just sat on the wall swaying his feet back and forth happily like a dog wagging its tail as a sign of its ignorant bliss.

"Some place where there isn't any trouble." Beth sighed as she slipped under the ropes and walked aimlessly around the ring in thought. 'Tino hopped down from his perch on the wall and soon sat himself on the apron. He looked up at Beth with wide eyes and continued to swing his feet back and forth.

"Do you suppose there is such a place 'Tino? I suppose there must be..." Beth trailed off in thought as she leaned against a turnbuckle and looked up thoughtfully to the rafters above. "It's not some place you can get to with a car or a plane, it's like some silly place…" A smirk danced on her lips as she thought of someplace where she couldn't get into trouble. "I think I found it once when I was with Hardy, Rainbow." Beth closed her eyes and began to sing softly.

"Somewhere, when I was with Rainbow, one fine night….there's a land that we went to once when we both got high. Somewhere, when I was with Rainbow, was so surreal, and the things that our heads did dream really seemed unreal. Someday I thought I'd be a star and wake up where the troubles were far behind me! Where tears would melt and never drop and the cheers of fans would never stop that's where you'd find me." Beth hung her head a bit and felt a tears hang on her lashes. She reached her hand between the ropes where 'Tino was looking up at her and she ran her hand over his hair lovingly. "Somewhere, over the rainbow, dreams don't die…some fly over the rainbow, why oh why can't I? If happy little diva's fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why can't I?"

With that Beth sighed and slipped out of the ring. She exited the arena area as 'Tino trailed behind her, cocking his head and wondering to himself…when did Beth get high with Jeff?

Shane-O stormed out of his office and down the hallway. He was on his way to meet his father and discuss the matter of Santino poking around in his office. Shane came upon Mike Adamle backstage with Beth and Santino near by.

"Mike!"

"Hey Shane."

"Have you seen my father? I have something we need to discuss." Shane barked. "About them." He jerked a thumb at Beth.

"What happened?"

"What do you mean what happened? Can't you see the bruise on my face?" Shane pointed to his cheek where one could only see a faint dark patch if you strained hard enough.

"Oh, you mean she hit you?" Adamle peered at Shane's cheek thoughtfully, not seeing any bruise.

"No, her boyfriend!" Shane tried to explain.

"Oh." Adamle crunched his brows together in confusion at the younger McMahon. "You mean she hit Santino?"

Shane rolled his eyes and then glared at Adamle.

"No."

Shane was glad that he now spotted his father approaching the group. Maybe something would now be done about this heinous act.

"They are a menace to RAW!" Shane announced with vehemence as his father approached. The older McMahon looked over to Beth and Santino. Beth narrowed her eyes to slits and walked toward the group when she overheard that they were being talked about. Shane turned to Santino and poked a finger at his chest. "I'm calling the sheriff on him and having him arrested. Then I want him suspended!"

"Suspended!" Beth shrieked. "'Tino? Oh no, you can't! You can't do it Mr. Adamle! Mr. M, you won't let him do it will you?" Beth tugged at Vince's sleeve begging.

"Uh, erm, of course we won't, will we M?" Adamle said this as more of a question to Vince rather than a promise to Beth.

"If you don't Dad, I'll make your life a living hell. There are laws protecting people from such abuse!" Shane-O stomped his foot angrily.

"Well, what if Beth keeps a tighter leash on Santino here?" McMahon suggested. "He's not that threatening really—unless he's around a threatening person that is."

"I'll just let the police decide then. They can see my face." Shane crossed his arms over his chest, he was bound to get his way.

"But--" Beth stuttered.

"Well, we can't go against the rules Beth." Adamle said, a bit sorrowfully. He really didn't like Shane-O very well and he didn't see the harm in him getting his chops busted a bit. But obviously Shane didn't share the same feelings.

"I'm afraid Santino will have to be suspended." Vince stated. Santino's face dropped and he slouched like a canine that knows he's in trouble.

"No!" Beth nearly cried.

"Now you see reason." Shane smiled to Adamle and Mr. McMahon. He motioned towards a security man who stepped forward. "I'm having this man escort him out so he can't hit me again."

"No! Don't have him arrested, please don't have him suspended, I'll hit you myself!" Beth snapped taking a large stride towards Shane. Vince pushed her back gently.

"Beth!"

She narrowed her eyes to angry slits and her mouth disappeared into a tight line. She felt tears sting at her eyes.

"You wicked bitch of a man! You ass!" Beth tugged on 'Tino's arm as the guard handcuffed him. "Adamle, don't let them take 'Tino! Mr. M, please!"

The guard cuffed Santino and began to lead him away. Beth looked through her tears first at Mr. McMahon, then at Adamle. She then turned on her heal and ran away to the locker room. McMahon shrugged and walked off leaving Adamle and Shane-O.

"Shane McMahon," Adamle started with a scowl. "Just because you own half the world shouldn't mean you can control us all! I've waited a long time to tell you what I think of you…but being that you're the boss's son, well, I can't say it!" Adamle turned and stomped away to his office leaving a smirking Shane.
