When you and Zelina are done with breakfast, you both get up and take your plates to the designated area to put them at and are about to leave when suddenly one of the employees comes towards you specifically and tells you that one of his colleague wants to speak to your for whatever reason. Confusion strikes at first when you hear him say that, but when you turn to Zelina, she gives you a short hug and tells you to be quick about it. She's someone who keeps the schedule in check after all and that's why you don't wanna disappoint her. So when you both seperate again, you follow the smaller guy to what seems to be an office and there sits the person who wants to talk to you. It's the waitress who has brought you the food and kept looking at you while eating. That's just another reason for you to be on guard as you slowly sit down and keep your eyes on everything that moves when the young woman leans forward. 

The light uncovers her blond hair and blue eyes as a flawless smile flashes towards you. This creeps you out a bit, but you stand your ground while the young woman looks at you, taking in your features again. It is then that her voice rings out in a small giggle.

Waitress:" I have expected you, sir."

Y/N:" Oh bullshit, you have kept looking at me permanentaly. Why did you do that?"

Lilith:" Shouldn't we start with introducing ourselves? My name is Lilith Thompson."

Y/N:" Alright, now I know who to stay away from. You made today the last time I will be here."

Lilith:" Leaving so soon? I thought you had some more time on your hands than this. Tell me, what does a man like you want with a girl like that one who was here with you?"

Y/N:" You know I could just go and tell your boss about all of this, right?"

Lilith:" You're talking directly to the boss. I took over after my parents retired, so you don't have to look very far."

That's true and that also means you have no way of actually getting her punished for anything she may be about to do to you. Lilith is her own boss, which means she also has control over her employees. You're about to get in her face when suddenly more lights go on and she stands up, walking right in front of you. Her work outfit is very right to say the least, showing her body very well to you, but you're not one to be fooled into such things.

Lilith:" I haven't seen a person like you in some years. You're giving off this special aura...The wild, dominant man. You don't seem to like following rules and that makes this meeting more thrilling."

Y/N:" Riiight. I'm outta here."

You're close to getting up, but then Lilith pushes you back down and places one of her feet against your stomach. The fact that her short skirt just slid up a bit doesn't matter to her as she tries to get exactly what she wants. The young blond is holding you hostage there and her eyes also say that she has a whole lot planned for the two of you. In a normal setting, you would like this, but since you're supposed to be leaving in a bit, there is no time to waste with such stuff. But Lilith doesn't give a damn as she drives her shoe into your lower body while giggling at your dismay. 

LIlith:" Ahaha, look at you. You're supposed to be a dominant force and yet you can't break free from my grip? Just as I thought: you're all show, but no substance. Breaking you will be fun."

A moment later, she puts on a pair of black gloves and begins to slap you repeatedly. You would hit back, but earlier in your life you swore to yourself to never hit a woman. Then again, this calls for an exception to that rule and so you seize the opportunity to strike when she has her back turn to you. Getting up, you sprint at her and tackle her onto the desk, not caring about any documents lying around. Unfortunately that just excties Lilith more as her tie wraps on the back of your neck and she pulls you closer for a kiss. It would've gone further, but to your luck, the door springs open and in comes a pissed off Zelina who rips you off of Lilith. Checking yourself, you can just watch as Zelina goes all out on the blond who now has no chance in the fight. Fists are flying at the same time as Zelina is whipping LIlith from the table and drags her to the nearest wall. Not only is it rare to see her this aggressive towards someone, it's also showing that she really tries her best to protect you as much as you protect her. And as much as you like to take risks, the ones involving losing friends, family, loved ones or co-workers aren't high up on your list, so when you see Lilith scramble back behind her desk, you grab Zelina's wrist and make your way out of the restaurant and to an alley quite a few feets away from it. There you both stop and take a short breath before talking about what just happened.

Zelina:" Alright, this bitch is crazy. What was her intension anyways?"

Y/N:" She was out for an obedient slave and so she tried to keep me there for herself. I don't know why she assumed that I was the fitting candidate for it, but I wanted no part of that shit."

Zelina:" I was getting impatient anyways since it was supposed to be a quick chat and not...whatever that was."

Y/N:" Well, at least we're unharmed. It could've ended way worse."

Zelina:" Yeah, let's just get back to the hotel and pack our stuff for the arena tonight. Hunter wouldn't be happy to hear about this."

Y/N:" We don't have to tell anybody. This only involves us and her, so anyone else knowing would put us in a bad spotlight and maybe even risk our working storyline."

Then Zelina nods and laces hands with you as you make your way towards your car. That whole thing has woke you up real good and so you see yourself as ready for the day. Luckily the workouts have been put to the afternoon, otherwise you would've been more pissed than you already are. Not that there are many people you dislike, it's just not right for you to go work out after such a stressful situation.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hours later, you and everyone have made it to the arena for Smackdown Live tonight. This time you and AJ will have a regular match, no special rules, no dumb interruptions, no fooling around. This is about showing the world what you can do under normal circumstances. You expect great things for the future and hope that everything will go as well as the last few years. Yeah, there have been a few train wrecks here and there, but all in all it was nice. Not only in NXT and in the main roster, but also your free time doing the things you love have brightened your horizon. You do a lot more parkour than before, you meditate, you eat healthier and you're also a lot more present on social media which makes your followers happy as well as the company. You stream every now and then, just talking about yourself, how you became friends with others, where the whole thing is going and what your workout routine consists of. Most female viewers are just there to look at you while other, more serious people genuinly thank you for the time they can spend with you. the digital age has brough the world many interesting things and such live streams are a nice way to connect with the masses. You know Xavier Woods has his own thing going with UpUpDownDown while Jeff Hardy has a lot more artistic work he wants to do from time to time. You heard of his band before, but never actually took the time to see , if they had any official albums out. Then again, not every band can put out a record every three years or so.

Right now, you're in your lockerroom stretching as Cathy Kelly comes in for a short interview with you. This has become a regular thing already, but you're happy to do it anyways. Straightening your hair, you smile and stand next to young Cathy who is a bit shorter than you.

Cathy:" I am here with the man who has beaten AJ Styles in an Extreme Rules match just a few days back. Y/N, thank you for taking the time to talk with us. Knowing what AJ is capable of and what he has already done around the world, how are you preparing for your match against him tonight?"

Y/N:" My preparation is the same as always. I keep a cool head, a calm mind and when I hear my music hit, I go out there all guns blazing. I have a very short temper when it comes to certain things and when someone ticks me off, they get to experience hell by my own hands. I kick asses everywhere whenever I want. I am saying whatever I want to whoever I please and there is nobody out there to stop me. AJ is just a little bump on the road for me while I try to get to the top and become the new Phenomenal One."

Cathy:" Well. Thank you for the insight on your preparation, but what happens if Andrade returns sooner than expected and isn't fond of the things you do around here?"

Y/N:" He either lives with it or does something about it. I'm not here to keep myself in check for whatever happens out there with myself around. Back when ECW was a thing, nobody gave a damn in the ring when people had barbed wire stuck in their bodies or when they were thrown into hundreds of thumbtacks. These guys were almost all the time out there, beating each other senseless and look what happened to them. The ones I still know have moved on to become legends of the business. Tommy Dreamer? Legend. Sabu? Legend. The Dudleys? Legends and my personal favorite Tag Team of all time. The extreme element is missing these days and that what I wanna bring back."

After that, Cathy nods and gives a few words to the WWE universe who have been watching right after the intro ended. They are already loving the idea of more extreme things happening around here, so the Last Man Standing match that is planned for the next Pay-Per-View will hold more value and be hyped a lot more. You have seen snippets of a promo package that is about to be worked on over the following weeks. AJ has also fueled the fire online when he spoke about his past experiences and compared you to some wrestlers he has faced over the years. You know that Chris Parks, the former Abyss, is working as a producer backstage, so there is a lot to learn from him as well.
