- WWE Draft 2016 -

With AJ, Karl, and Luke still together as a group with myself included, we were still the bullies running the tag-team division. However, we were in for a rude awakening when it was announced that they're going to split the brands up with Stephanie taking over RAW, with Mick Foley, and Shane taking over SmackDown, with Daniel Bryan.

With Seth Rollins being RAW's first draft pick and Dean Ambrose, the current WWE Champion, being SmackDown's first. The rest of us sat backstage, yearning to know where we're headed to next and who we're going to be separated from.

They weren't going to tell us who got drafted where until its announced to the world, so this worried me when they announced that AJ was SmackDown's second pick on their roster. I was biting off my nails in the back until it was announced that was in a match against Dana Brooke for that evening.

Before that, however, I was scheduled for an interview with Shane and Bryan, themselves. So, I made my way that way, sweating bullets. I really wanted to be with my AJ. I was going to convince them of that, too.

With the cameras rolling, Shane and Bryan were in the backstage office, so I flew in with an evil grin. They faced me, attempting to laugh, but kept it professional.

"Eliza," Shane breathed out, seemingly surprised of my existence, "what can we do for you?"

"No, Shane," I began to counter him, "it's what I can do for you."

He and Bryan exchanged a questionable look before they glanced back at me. "What would that be, Eliza?" Bryan asked instead of Shane.

"Let's be honest, guys," I hinted, giving them a knowing look, "the whole entire Diva's Division needs a makeover. And, it seems like both Charlotte and Sasha are headed to Raw, while you guys - SmackDown Live - need some pretty powerful women on your roster to carry out an even better Diva's Division than Raw."

They seemed stunned, yet impressed. I can only hope that I've done my job here, to earn a place on SmackDown Live. "Tell you what, Eliza," Shane began to tell me, "if you can beat Dana tonight in your match, we'll definitely consider adding you to the SmackDown Live roster. How does that sound?"

My heart skipped a beat, especially when I seen AJ show up off-camera, but I focused on Shane and Bryan in front of me at the moment. So, I smiled and nodded frantically. "You got it," I assured them with a wink. "I win and you add me. See you guys later!"

As soon as the cameras stopped rolling our session, I ran off off-screen to AJ where we embraced in a hug. If we're on two different rosters, then we will be living two different lives. I didn't know how I would feel about that later. I just know that I won't like it whatsoever.

He kissed my forehead and our eyes met in the middle, his solid blue orbs meeting my dark ones. "What's wrong?"

I shrugged and sighed, "Worried, that's all."

"Because we might be split apart?" Why did he even have to ask? He already knows why.

I nodded, sulking my shoulders, and replied, "Yeah, and Paige and Del Rio has already been split up in the Draft, so why not us, too?"

He touched my shoulder and I perked up to it. Our eyes met again, but it hurt to see them now, so I looked away from him. Then, he touched my knee and it lit a fire within me. "We'll be okay. We always are, you know that."

"Eliza London to the front curtain for match," the announcement went off and I jumped up.

However, before I can ran off, he grabbed my waist and brought me back to him. He kissed me softly and hugged me tightly. "I love you and whatever happens, we'll make it. We always do."

I nodded and smiled to reassure him, and said that I loved him more before I can run off to the curtain for my 'Make It Or Break It' match-up.

I was nervous going out of there, unprotected without AJ and them, but I knew that I would be okay in the end. Once my entrance was made, and since Dana was already out there, the bell rung and we faced each other in the center of that ring, ready to go.

She started yelling, like she normally does, and keeps whipping her long bleached hair in my face. After much frustration, I caught it mid-air right before it was about to hit my face again. She started screaming and waving her hands frantically in the air before I slammed her down backwards.

As soon as I whipped her on the ground, I was all over her, making sure to keep her isolated to where I can win this in the end. I was getting a lot of heat from the crowd as I went around taunting everyone, including Dana.

Then, I was being pulled down when she pushed me and I fell to my face. She started to hammer down on me and the WWE Universe began to chant along with it, "Beat Her Face!"

Wait a minute... Is this what happens when two heels face each other? They just go for whoever? I guess they really hate me more, then. They clearly don't want The Club taking over SmackDown Live, too.

However, when she finally got up and grabbed me by the roots of my hair, I shoved her backwards and bounced up on her like white on rice. I was not about to let her win. I was going to make an example out of her tonight on, hopefully, my last night on RAW.

I shoved her on her face and, immediately, took advantage of this opportunity. I snatched her up and placed her head underneath my right arm and swung out my leg to preform my signature move, Bullet Dynamite. She was down, but I wasn't done just yet. I picked her back up and performed AJ's finisher, The Styles Clash.

Now, I was done officially. And after the count of three, the match was over and I was going to SmackDown Live.

I threw her off of me as AJ's music started to play to show that I had won. The referee raised my hand in victory, then I signaled for a microphone from Lilian and she gave me one, so I trailed back to the middle of the ring next to a defeated Dana Brooke.

"Cut the music!" I demanded, right off the bat, and it did stop. To the crowd, I announced: "Here's just another example of why I'm the best female wrestler in the world! I don't have to have muscles, like Dana, to take down a division of women and rebuild it in a day. I don't have to come from some wrestling family, like Charlotte and Natalya, to make sure I'll have a place in history one day. I just know that I'm the best without even being told that I am. Hell, you people don't have to because AJ tells me every night, just saying..."

That's when the crowd went fucking wild, some whistling and some laughing. It was just a combination of different reactions and it honestly made me smile a little bit, to be honest, making me think that AJ was probably backstage right now, shaking his head in embarrassment.

"I'm leaving and heading to SmackDown Live, where AJ and I will take over just like we did here on RAW-"

Here comes the money! Here we go... Money, Money, Money, Money, Money! Dollar, dollar! Holla, holla! I was suddenly being cut off by Shane's entrance music and that's when my heart dropped, and I fell silent immediately.

On the stage stood Shane and Bryan, both with mic's in their hands, ready to grill me for what I had just said. On the other side of the stage was Stephanie and Mick Foley. They were at their posts, ready to make new draft picks. Here we go again, I guess...

"Eliza," Shane breathed out my name first, looking very serious, "I told you that I would be think about adding you to SmackDown Live's roster if you won against Dana, which you did. Congrats, by the way."

"And you're such a strong character, too, Eliza," Bryan picked right up where Shane had left off from. "Honestly, I see you as becoming a champion in the future. Will that be here on RAW or with us on SmackDown Live?"

The crowd booed and cheered all in one notion, seeing how some were on my side while others weren't at all. I didn't say a word. I was going to show them respect and give them the time of day to explain themselves.

Bryan and Shane exchanged a strange look, then slowly began to smile and nod at each other. "We think we know where your new home will be," Bryan started saying, leaving in a silent and short suspense. "SmackDown Live's next draft pick is..."

"Eliza London!" Shane announced, picking right up where Bryan had left off at.

I smiled and began jumping up and down, beyond excited that I'll stay with AJ through thick and thin. "Thank you, guys! You won't regret this, I swear!"

I made my way down to them and they welcomed me in with a group-hug. "Congrats, Britt," Shane whispered in my ear as we released and exchanged a small smile between each other.

Going backstage in between Shane and Bryan, Bryan was the one who stopped me once we were there in a private area to talk, just me and him. "Are you and AJ planning on having kids of your own one of these days?"

The burning question rises... But I understood why he did what he did now. Holy shit. I nodded with a sigh and replied, "Well, about that, um... I was kids, but he's not exactly on-board with that idea just yet. He's promised me marriage, but not kids just yet."

He nodded, rubbing his bearded chin. "I see," he nodded his head. "You should definitely talk to Nicole about stuff like that. You and I both know she's in the same exact boat as you are, too."

He wasn't wrong about that, but I didn't want to stay on that subject anymore. "And what about you and Brie? Kids?"

He nodded with a huge smile and responded, "Yes, we are! Soon, I hope."

I smiled and turned my back on him, but then stopped and looked back at him again. "I know why you did what you did, by the way," I said to him, letting the connection click.

He pulled his eyebrows together in confusion, but managed to grin. "What you mean, Britt?"

"I'm on SmackDown with AJ, then you ask me if we want kids, Bryan," I pointed out witch a small chuckle. "I think that you and Shane didn't want us separated for a reason, so... Thanks. I really do appreciate you guys a lot."

With that said and out of the way, he nodded, obviously seeing how he was caught, and smiled. "Of course, Britt. What are friends for, anyway?"

Spinning around, I noticed AJ waiting down the hall for me with Luke and Karl. I silently thanked God that he wasn't standing right behind me when Bryan was saying this to me because, God knows, that I would definitely be in trouble for that.
