“Thank you very much.” I smiled as my first ever interview as the New Cruiserweight Champion ended.

This is so unreal still.

“Okay, you're free to go and explore the arena and meet the other wrestlers if you want.” One of the staff members said as they were looking at a clipboard in their hands.

“Alright, thanks.” I said, taking off down the long hallways filled with working staff members here and there, fixing things for RAW tonight.

Still can't believe I'm at RAW.

As I kept walking I greeted some superstars along the way and chatted for a few seconds as they were off to get prepared for the show.

“Don't you dare be sour! Clap for your New Cruiserweight Champion and first ever Cruiserweight Classic winner!” A trumpet started going off after the chant along with clapping coming from behind me.

Please don't make me twerk.

I turned around and saw The New Day as they clapped and started twerking and gyrating their hips in circles. Xavier Woods doing the same, except he was blowing his trumpet to a beat.

“C'mon Champ, clap with us! We know you want to!” Kofi smiled as he kept clapping and dancing. Big E was making faces as he clapped and gyrated his hips to Xavier's beat.

I sighed a chuckle as I smiled at them nodding my head a bit. “Alright.”

They cheered as they began to sync their hips together and clapping. I moved my hips a bit and clapped my championship belt to the beat.

“Oh c’mon, TJ, we know you can move your hips more than that!” Xavier exclaimed as he motioned over at my hips and began to play his trumpet again.

“It's all in the hips, champ!” Kofi said as he placed his hands on his hips moving them in a circle.

“Yeah, just let yourself relax and gyrate those hip bones!” Big E placed his hands behind his head as he gyrated his hips more and more.

This is getting to sexual...especially with these guys...

“Like this?” I asked, moving my hips a bit more into a circle as they all smiled at me.

“Yeah!”

“Alright champ!”

“That's our boy!”

I chuckled at them as they high-fived each other. “Alright well, I think I'll keep walking around. Thanks for the hip gyration lesson. I'll see you guys around!”

“Yeah sure, no problem champ!” Xavier smiled as he lowered his trumpet and waved at me along with Kofi.

“If you need us, just listen to Francesca. She'll guide you to us.” Big E said, Xavier and Kofi both smiling and presenting the trumpet as if it was a trophy.

They named the trumpet.

“Okay, I will. I'll see you around?” I said unsure anymore and kind of freaked out, yet I didn't show it.

They smiled as they walked off, the clapping and the sound of Fran-I mean, the trumpet's beat sounding off down the hallway.

Awkward...

I turned towards the direction I was heading off to in the first place and walked on down the hallway.

My stomach started growling as I saw some staff members walk by with some plates and take out boxes in their hands.

Man, I go for anything right now.

As I kept walking looking for catering, I saw none other than the beauty that haunts my dreams every night walk into a room.

If only you were mine, princess.

I walked over to where she walked in and looked inside, seeing it was catering which I was looking for. Most superstars and staff members were seated at tables eating and chatting away like normal people without ripping each others heads off like in the ring. It's fucking weird seeing them act normal and not crazy like in the ring at times. It just blows your mind away.

I looked around in search of where Vee went off to. “Where is she?” I mumbled to myself as I searched every seat in catering for her.

She did walk in here right?

“If you're looking for Mendoza, she's over by that corner over there.” A voice spoke from next to my ear, making me slightly jump. I looked next to me to see Sami pointing in a direction with his finger. “See?” He asked, looking at me then at where Vee was.

I looked over at where he was pointing and saw Vee Mendoza herself seating in a chair at a table at the far corner of the room, all by herself as she ate her food in peace.

How the hell did I not see her?

“You know, if you want to get close to Vee and not have Seth on your ass like he did to Ambrose and Bálor, you can always distract him or become a ninja.” Sami suggested as he leaned against the closest wall, his arms crossing against his chest.

Ambrose and Bálor?

I arched an eyebrow up in interest. “What did he-”

“He threatened Dean that he'd have him be pulled by ropes and have horses pulling on his limbs until no more and he sent Finn on the injured shelf for some months.” Sami cut me off as he explained, shrugging his shoulders.

Well shit, man. I don't want to be around horses or Seth in the near future. Maybe even never.

“I thought you saw that match. You know the one at Summer Slam. Seth versus Finn for the Universal Title. That one title belt that looks exactly like the woman's title and WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt, but in red.” Sami rambled on.

“I get it. Yes, I did see that match, but I didn't think Seth would go that limit to have Finn Bálor back off of Vee like that. Especially injure him for however many months.”

“Yeah, well that's Seth Rollins for you.” He patted my shoulder as he stood next to me again. “So, what's your plan?” He asked, as he stared off into the chat filled room of catering.

I looked over at him confused, but looked over at where Vee sat all alone at a table. I smirked slightly, a little light bulb turning on in my head.

“Are you good at distracting people?” I asked Sami, as he looked over at me, an unsure look on his face.

“I have a feeling I'll be pedigreed into the floor sooner than I can yell for my mommy.” I smirked at him as I placed my hand on his shoulder, squeezing it a bit.

“Don't worry, I'll make sure that doesn't happen.”

“Bullshit! You'll probably be getting it on in the broom closet with Mendoza before you can come for my rescue from being planted into the ground. Even though I doubt you'll be getting it on with Mendoza unless she rejects your ass and most likely gives you a black eye or dislocated jaw. The girl can punch and kick like Scott Adkins if you ask me. Have you ever seen Undisputed 2 and 3, man the dude knows how to kick ass and-”

“Wait.” I held my finger up, silencing Sami from his rambling. “How the hell do you know she can punch and kick like Scott Adkins? Did you-”

“No, I just had an argument with her last time I talked to her about Supernatural. I just said that Castiel is an idiot at times and has a monotone voice of a boring narrator. And I may of gotten a black eye and a bruised shin from her…” Sami trailed off as he looked anywhere, but at my eyes.

So, she's feisty also? That'll be fun to see.

“How did you talk to her without Seth beating you to a pulp?” That was something I wanted to know.

He looked at me and shrugged. “Seth thinks I couldn't get with a girl like Vee even if I tried. He just doesn't see me as a threat I guess.”

Huh. That's kind of helpful.

“Well, I need someone like you to help me with my plan on distracting Seth from Vee. Can you do that for me?” I asked him, a look of contemplation on his face as he looked from Vee to myself.

“I do need a friend for the meantime while Finn recovers and returns.” He smiled as he stretched his hand out for me to shake. “Deal. I'll help you out Mister Manik!”

“It's TJ Perkins now.” I corrected him with a straight face.

“Whatever!” We both laughed at our antics as we shook our hands in deal of our plan to take action.

Let's hope this works.
