CHAPTER 17

Great...I thought, feeling my face immediately form into an irritable frown...my first ever match in the WWE, and it's against that Barbie doll airhead. Pft, nice start!

I continued frowning as I walked alongside Stephanie to the ring, trying as hard as I could to calm my irritation down in case she saw it and asked what was wrong? I could also see Summer trying to hold back the same restraint as she walked alongside me.

The other Divas had now left, so it was just the three of us alone in the main arena together. When we got in the ring, I noticed that there was a table, and three chairs already set up in there.

''Take a seat ladies'' Stephanie said gesturing to us, and we each took a seat opposite her without looking at each other.

''I'm sorry this is all so last minute'' she said, opening up her notebook and looking over her notes ''but my father and creative decided to change a few things round to accommodate Faiths arrival, and thought it best that Faith had her first match against you Summer, seeing as your fairly new yourself. We figured that the audience would better accept her if she went against you, rather than one of the veterans'' she told us.

She then took a deep breath while looking at Summer a little apologetically ''and...we're going have Faith win the match up tonight'' she said.

''What! But I have an un-defeated streak!'' she protested.

I looked down smiling.

''I know, but we have other plans for Faiths character leading up to the Monday Night RAW after Royal Rumble'' Stephanie said very calmly.

''But...she just got here!'' Summer said through clenched teeth, while staring at me angrily.

''If this is going to be an issue Summer, we can take a step down the ladder and put you back in NXT if you'd like...'' Stephanie said in a serious tone ''I shouldn't have to remind you, both of you, that your contract with us dictates that we can rearrange storylines within reason as we see fit, as long as its best for business. Now I don't want to come across as a bitch here Summer, but you're not the big Superstar yet, and you're certainly not in a position to make demands on your contract. Having said that, we've got great storylines lined up for you in the near future too, so don't make me regret my decision'' she said, looking directly at Summer ''look, just be patient Summer okay, because I think you'll like what's coming'' she smiled.

Summer smiled back halfheartedly, while Stephanie turned back to face me ''tonight Faith your to wear the costume we designed specially for you, and we will test out the theme song we agreed on too, ok?'' and I nodded ''Good. I'm really look forward to finally seeing you wrestle live, don't let me down Faith'' she smiled.

''I won't Stephanie, I promise'' I smiled back,

''Perfect'' she said ''we also want you to win the match by using your famous finishing move that we discussed called 'The Leap Of Faith'. If that goes down well with the WWE Universe, then this will be marketed as your signature move'' and I nodded. Stephanie looked down at her notebook, then back at us ''your match will be directly after Team HELL NO and the Wyatt's, so make sure to be ready and waiting by gorilla position for your theme songs. Your match is to last about 20 minutes, and as you know everything is on a clock, and timed accordingly, so no going over. The ref will guide you on time via the hidden code we use. I know you both know this already, but I'll have a ref go over it with you both later just in case, and Faith I'll have a member of creative come by and see you with the finalized schedule for the show. So, I wish you ladies good luck, and I will see you both at the end. Uh, actually Summer, would you mind if I had a word with Faith in private please?'' Stephanie asked.

''Sure'' Summer said cooly, and got up quietly and left the arena.

Stephanie watched until summer left, before turning to me.

''I'm sorry about that'' Stephanie said apologetically ''Summer's a sweet girl, she really is, but we've had a problem with her attendance of late, stemming from personal issues which I can't discuss. A few of the girls have had to cover her matches for her, and that kind of thing just can't happen in the WWE. It interferes with storylines, and it's just plain unprofessional. Even though she has had an un-defeated streak, I wanna take the light off her for a while, and concentrate on you. And in that time, I hope Summer regains control of her personal life, because to be a main eventer, your attendance has to be absolutely on point! The WWE Universe is expecting their favorite Superstar to be there every Monday and Tuesday to entertain them, and that can't happen if you're constantly absent from the roster. Don't worry though, Summer will bounce back soon. And in the meantime, it'll be your turn to shine'' she smiled ''So...do you have any questions Faith?''

I was happy she asked, because I myself had been meaning to ask this for a while... ''First of all thank Stephanie for all your kind support of me. And yes actually, I do have one question...um, where can I find Mr. Paul Heyman? I mean I've never had the chance to thank him in person for recommending me so proudly'' I told her.

Stephanie smiled at me warmly ''Paul is a very busy man Faith, sometime more so than Hunter and I. He's a hot list promoter, representing both the WWE and his client Broc Lesnar all over the world. Even I have to book an appointment to see him sometimes'' she chuckled ''but I have no doubt that he would absolutely love to meet with you again too. I will pass your message on to him, but your one of the family now, so you'll get to see Mr. Heyman at some point or another'' Stephanie said looking at her watch and stood up ''I have to run now Faith'' she said, placing a warm hand on my shoulder ''but again, good Luck tonight, and I'll be watching backstage. I can't wait to see you perform!'' she beamed, and with that, Stephanie got up and left the arena.

I thought about what she just said about summer, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret for her. However, it was quickly replaced with the probable thought that she most likely brought it upon herself.

I stood there in the middle of the ring, just taking in the silence of the empty arena, and in a way I found it quite comforting... What a contrast this will be compared to later I thought, as soon every seat in the house will be filled with cheering fans! Oh my god, I can't wait! I thought, feeling very excited now.

I looked at my watch, and it was about 4:00pm, so I decided to take some 'me' time, and look around the building and familiarize myself where everything was . I did a couple of rope runs before I left the ring, then slid out under them, landing perfectly on my feet. I smiled happily as I strutted towards the arena doors, feeling on top of the world as today I officially become a WWE Diva.

The second I pushed the doors open, I was met face to face with Summer Rae, who was standing there glaring at me with a blaze of fire in her eyes!

''Bet you thought that was pretty funny didn't you?'' she sneered, taking a step closer to me.

I never budged, I just looked at her calmly and said ''get out of my way Summer, I don't have time for your idiocy right now''

''I'll move when I'm good and god damn ready'' she hissed, taking another step closer to me.

Just then, I saw Eva Marie emerge round the other corner as both girls now blocked my path.

''Better hear her out sweetie'' she said leaning her hand against the wall by my head ''...because you don't want us as enemies, not so soon in your career'' she smiled.

''What's this all about?!'' I demanded, looking at them both irritably.

Eva took a step closer to me...

''CAN I HELP YOU LADIES?!!'' Paige boomed all of a sudden, as she came walking back from wardrobe.

Both Summer and Eva spun around startled.

Thank god! I thought...and not because I was scared of them, I mean could handle Eva and Summer, but I just didn't want any drama, not on my first day anyway.

Paige looked menacing as she glared at them both with her dark painted eyes.

''We were just wishing Faith here good luck for tonight'' Summer said cooly, while stepping back from me slightly.

Paige took a step closer to Summer, towering over her tall body over her as she leaned down and said ''you're gonna bump into the likes of yourself one day Summer, and then we'll see if you'll still smiling babygirl''

''Bitch!'' summer hissed, grabbing Eva's arm as they both quickly walked away.

Eva paused and looked back though....

''This isn't over ladies, you just started a war you won't be able to finish'' she snarled.

''Pft, whatever'' Paige said, shunning her away with her hand.

''Oh and Faith, you better stay away from Roman'' Eva warned, though narrowed eyes.

''I think I'll let Roman decide that ' Miss: I'll Bed Everything', I mean... 'Miss All Red Everything'' I smirked back, and watched as she stormed off angrily with Summer following close behind her.

Okay, I know I just stooped to their level, but I couldn't help it, I had had enough of those two for one day.

Paige however absolutely loved it, as she shouted ''That was awesome!'' at the top of her lungs while laughing loudly.
