that’s happening is the tires are spinning and spitting dirty snow all over me. I’m frozen to the bone by that point, so I text John Cena and Beth Phoenix. I’m telling them how I’m stuck in this ditch and I don’t know what to do. Luckily, they were both only a few minutes behind us on the same road, but by this point, literally, I saw my whole life flash in front of me while I was in this snow globe. My body was shaking, I was so freezing, and the only gloves I had were to keep me warm while I was walking from my car to the hotel—they weren’t gloves to try to push a car out of a ditch during a blizzard.
    But then I think we’re saved because a cop in a truck pulls over before John or Beth even arrive. He calls me over, making me climb out of the ditch and walk all the way over to where he parked for some reason instead of getting out and walking toward us. Then he goes, “Ma’am, where do you think you’re going?” So I tell him I already called the tow company but they wouldn’t come out, and he goes, “Of course they’re not going to come out. And ma’am, you can’t be down there trying to push your car out of the ditch.” So I ask him, “What am I supposed to do? I have a flight to catch in the morning.” Then he tells me, “I can either take you to a hotel or you can come to the station and wait until the road is clear, but that won’t be until five or six in the morning.” But my flight was at seven, so I told him there was no way I could do that. So he asks me, “What do you want me to do then? Do you want me to take you to a hotel, or do you just want me to leave you here?” Next thing I know, he starts asking me if I’m the one who sideswiped some car. He’s like, “Are you sure you didn’t hit anybody?” And when I tell him no, he just goes, “Huh,” and he leaves Katie and me there. He just drove off.
    So there I was, walking back to the car and then trying to push it back up the hill again while Katie tried to gun it one last time. I still remember John finally pulling up and looking down at us after the cop had already left. He was like, “Get back in the car and warm up.” Within a few minutes it ended up being John, Beth, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, and one of our security guys all out there trying to push my car out of this ditch. And I’ll tell you how crazy John is, he was in sneakers and shorts, the shorts he wears to the ring, and a T-shirt. While the rest of us were trying to get bundled and wrapped up with as much as we can find, he’s out there in a blizzard in his shorts.
    Anyway, we all get behind the car and push it out of this ditch and back onto the road. Somehow, someway, we were able to all work together and get my car back on the road. So what we did was, we all followed each other the rest of the way to the hotel. We were this big trail of cars slowly working our way through the blizzard at 30 mph down the highway. Then we saw some guy who had also spun out up ahead, so we all pulled over and tried to get him out of the ditch as well. Then that same cop pulled up and told the guy that he had to leave his car there, so the guy hopped in someone’s car and took off.
    But all I kept thinking was, “Why would that cop just leave me there?” What if I was all alone? Would he have just left me to freeze? But looking back, we’re just lucky there wasn’t a whole lot of traffic on the road when we started to spin. Once we started into our 360s, I was just so worried that we were going to keep going all the way through the median to the other side and spin through the oncoming traffic. We’re very fortunate that we ended up in the ditch, even if it did take us a long time to get out. Luckily, with the muscle of all our guys and the sheer brute strength of a couple of Divas, we were able to get out of there.
