A camera pans down what seems to be an empty hallway. The cameraman’s footsteps clicking underneath. The closer he reaches the end of the hallway, unknown, murmuring sounds make notice becoming clearer and clearer to the cameraman’s speaker. As soon as he turns right to the end of the hallway, the cameraman spots two individuals: a male and a female. They were sitting side by side on a wooden bench, communicating to each other. Both are familiar to the wrestling fans and camera crew alike, so the cameraman zooms in closer to get a better view of the individuals, and a clear comprehension as to what they were socializing about.
“You know, we both have to defend our championship belts for the first time at Pay-Per-View.”
The recognizable voice and figure reveals to be The Beautiful Dragon herself. Mei Long gives a long exhale noisily as she looks to the ground, already feeling nervous about obtaining the belt, and could potentially lose it easily.
As she leans down, the cameraman is able to recognize the male figure.
"I know, but I'm not too worried. We earned them by busting our asses and now it's time for us to show why we deserve to keep them."
AJ Styles replies, turning to Mei. He's no stranger to holding a championship, and even though this is the first time he's held the GZWA Heavyweight Championship, he's not ready for his run to come to a screeching halt.
"I can tell you're nervous, and to be honest, I am too. We have a hell of a fight ahead of us, but I know we can do it."
"Yeah.....Of course."
A.J.'s encouragement, and admitting empathy, rallies Mei up a bit, leaving a smile at she dazes into his sky colored eyes.
"We came too far into our wrestling careers to give up now. I just know this match with Lise Starr and Maryse will not be easy. I have to keep my eyes open for any tricks they might pull up their sleeves. I just don't know much about this Sapphire girl, but I hope she is a good partner, unlike Lise Starr. I guess we will see how this turns out."
Mei, listen to me. No matter what happens out there, don't forget that you are the champion and to me, you will always be a champion, whether or not you have to belt to show for it. You've done a hell of a job to this point, and I know that win or lose tonight or at Final Encounter, you're better than both of those girls.
Mei Long does what she has never done before, or at least on camera. She inches closer to him, leaning as her head presses against his shoulder. Her arms wrapped around his arm, with one hand examining his biceps, as loose as they were because he currently wasn't flexing them.
"So how do you feel about Genesis being your partner tonight? Knowing Genesis, I'm sure there's still animosity between you both."
As Mei touches his arm, he places his opposite hand over hers. He nods in agreement before speaking.
He glances at Mei before smiling, and getting caught up in the moment.
You know, you would think that after all the tag team matches that I've had and all the guys I've teamed with, that I wouldn't let personal feelings affect how I feel. I think Genesis and Daniels are the two guys that no matter if we're on the same page or opposite sides of the ring, I never know what to expect.
He slowly moves his arm from his side, and wraps it around Mei's shoulder, moving closer to her as well.
"Sometimes though, not knowing what to expect can be a good thing."
Mei Long changes into curiosity in her eyes.
"What do you mean?
Without even thinking, AJ leans in closer to her and kisses her softly. After a few seconds, he snaps back into the moment, breaking the kiss as he realizes what he had done.
Mei, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I just got caught up is all.
Even though a part of him didn't mean to kiss her right then and there, he had felt the chemistry that had been building between the two of them over the last month or so. He had hoped she felt the same, but didn't want her to feel something she didn't and definitely didn't want to ruin their friendship, if he had simply been emotionally mixed up and confused with everything going on.
Mei Long widens her eyes in shock over this sudden spark. It leaves herself silent as she separates from him and looks to the ground once again.
"I......I should be going. I'll catch you around."
Wait--
AJ starts to say something, but Mei Long pushes herself up to her feet, walking away from camera's view to the end of the hallway. She stops to give A.J. one last glance, chuckling at this moment, before finally walking off.
AJ stands up, conflicted as to whether or not to follow her. He brings his hand up, touching his fingertips to his forehead before closing his eyes and shaking his head in disbelief about what had just taken place.
