"Hey. This is Lise who’s unfortunately unavailable right now. She’s quite busy." *giggle* "Just leave your message and I’ll get back to you. Later."

After the digital voice complete with the sounds of a male chuckling is heard, AJ Lee can be seen letting out an exasperated sigh after hearing it, sitting on the floor of her locker room. Still covered in Lise's blood, she puts the phone to her mouth and takes a deep breath, scratching the back of her head awkwardly as she puts her foot forward and taps it on the floor impatiently. Her voice stutters while she talks into the speaker.

"Hey Lise... It's me, AJ. You haven't called back yet so I'm just calling again in case you missed my last call...and the other eight...Well uh you know, if you got them, I'm gonna sound like a broken record but I'm sorry for costing us the match, and I'm really REALLY sorry for what I did to you. I just...cracked under the pressure and I don't know what came over me. Look, call me back, I'll go to therapy, I'll wear handcuffs, I'll do anything. Just please, talk to me..."

After hanging up and putting her phone in the back pocket of her shorts. She rubs her hands over her cheeks to wipe the tears dripping in her eyes and then she looks up at what is revealed to be a large collection of photos of her together with Lise nailed to the wall. Some of them show the two hugging, others show them playing games, practising their wrestling together, and their wins after matches. She takes one picture from the wall, which shows them holding hands and skipping together. After smirking for a moment, she puts it in the pocket on the backside of her shorts. She then walks towards the lockers in her room and softly slams her head into the metal before letting out an ear piercing shriek as she punches it repeatedly before putting her hands on the back and using all her strength to knock it to the ground, completely cracking the bench under it. Then she stomps on the downed locker, leaving massive holes on the back of it before picking up one of the chairs and slamming it into the mirror in the room, giving her 7 years bad luck. Suddenly. she remembers her attack in the ring while holding the chair and gasps, throwing the chair out of her hands before stumbling backwards and falling. She crawls backwards now, until she reaches the bathroom wall, specifically the shower. Letting out a deep sigh, she stands up and turns the shower on before sitting back down. Initially only letting it soak her hair, she looks up and allows it to wash over her face momentarily. After completely cleaning herself from Lise's blood, she whips out her phone again while still being drenched, and calls Lise once more, her voice starting to crack.

"Uh, hey...It's me again..."

[♡☈ɑ√əη]

*Just finished with her match, and fully satisfied with the outcome, Raven stepped into the hallway posing for the cameras forgetting about the pains of war for the moment. Seeing the ReAction crew approaching, Raven snatched the mic from the interviewer deciding to do the job for them.*

Rae| Yes, you people have witnessed the beginning of my dominance tonight. Knocking Sapphire out was only the surface of what I'll do in this tournament A.K.A. my road to gold. Unfortunately, I'm sure that Ambien will try her best to be a thorn in my side. I'm sure that she has other things to worry about like the lack of trust and honesty within her marriage.

*Raven held her hand over her heart, acting as if she was really concerned*

Rae| I just hope it all works out for her............

AH WELL! Back to Moi! I'm gunning for that title that should've been mine months ago & I won't allow a soul to stop me. Trust, I will do anything to see that I come out on top. Even if I have to be "creative".

*Raven stops to hold in a giggle thinking about the actions she pulled to gain a win tonight. "Creative" was her spin on what people have called her in the past - a low-down-dirty, cheating bitch*

Rae| And, Amber? If you should make it in this tournament long enough to face me, just know that your time with me in the ring will be just as short as your time with your father. Ya dig?

*Raven glared at the camera as if to look Amber eye-to-"eye". She tossed the mic back to the interviewer while beginning to walk off. Just then, he called back out to her. Rae rolled her eye as the interviewer did the same last time they met*

Interviewer| Wait! What about the words that Amber's friend, Morgan Davis, had for you earlier tonight?

*Raven just scoffs*

Rae| I didn't mention her or her lil hand-me-down segment when I had the mic. What does that tell you?

*Raven a finger to the side of her head as if to tell the interviewer to think. She shook her head walking off leaving them with that*

[Heartbreaker]

Between the events of finding out CM Punk possibly returned to former flame Tia Brooks and AJ Lee’s harsh betrayal and beatdown, Lise Starr was heartbroken, ironic given her nickname “The Heartbreaker”. As the show had come to an end, she was seated inside of the medical room still dressed in her baby-blue wrestling attire. The doctor had been stitching the opened wound which was caused by AJ Lee while Lise was cleaning blood off of her face with a wet face towel. The doctor finished stitching the wound and applied a bandage to the forehead of Starr. As she finished cleaning the remaining blood off of herself, Christy Hemme entered the medical room with a microphone in her hand.

“Lise, I know tonight was not a great one for you. All I want to know is how are you feeling?”

“W-What? What do you want from me? Can’t I have just one moment without people asking me questions? Unlike all these other interviewing idiots, you actually know what it’s like to be a wrestler. Would you have liked people bugging you about the feeling of badly hurting your neck which lead to your eventual retirement?”

“Let’s not go there Lise. I’m just doing my job, alright?” Christy replied with an uneasy tone in her voice.

“Whatever. You want to know how I’m feeling? Hurt... betrayed... lonely. I’m back to where I was.” She said while sniffing. “What the hell did I ever do? Was I a horrible person in a past life or something?” Tears ran down her face. “The guy I really liked and trusted ended up doing dirty shit behind my back... to make matters worse, my best friend. My best friend lost it. I knew AJ had a lot going on in that head of hers but after this... I-I don’t even know what to say.”

After she got off the medical exam table, Lise Starr picked up her bag and placed it onto the table. Unzipping the bag, she took out her phone and a black hoodie. While she checked her phone, Christy looked puzzled. “You’re probably wondering why my bag is here. Well, as soon as I regained my consciousness in this room I quickly got out of here. I had to do it. I do not want to see AJ so I got my stuff. I’m lucky I avoided seeing her because she’s got a lot to say.” Raising her phone, Lise played a voice message which was sent by AJ Lee, who's voice could be heard cracking in the message.

"Lise... please talk to me... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... I hurt you and I took advantage of you, I admit it, but I only kissed you because I care about you... Call me back when you can."

Lise's eyes widened a tiny bit when AJ's voice mail referenced the kiss. “Did she kiss me while I was knocked out? W-What the hell is wrong with her? Kissing me while I'm unconscious and leaving me TWELVE voice mails? Oh my god..." After shaking her head for a brief moment, Lise placed the phone back into her bag and zipped it. She then put on her black hoodie and zipped it up. “N-Now if you excuse me, I’m going home.”

“You’re going home already, Lise? But you haven’t even showered yet and you’re actually going to walk out in the streets dressed in wrestling attire with blood on it?”

“Yes, I’m going home in my blood splattered ring attire... I just don’t want to be here... I might catch a taxi or something. No no no... not a taxi because it might be the same one Punk and SHE were in...” Finishing her words with a sniff, Lise placed the hood over her head and picked up her bag, placing the strap over her shoulder. “...Bye.” Leaving the medical room, more tears ran down Lise Starr’s face.

[The Bradley Clan]

Mike Bradley heads backstage and straight to the parking lot, but before he can exit the arena, Christy Hemme approaches him from behind.

"Mike, after tonight's Battle Royal, you'll be facing your sister AND Carnage in a triple threat match at Slammiversary for your Television Title. What are your initial thoughts on the match?"

"I hope you're not expecting me to be worried, because let's face it - I won a triple threat match to get this title in the first place, I sure as hell can win another one to retain. And as far as I'm concerned, the opposition is no different - Carnage is basically another Genesis, and my sister is basically another Christopher Daniels. Me, on the other hand? Well, as I told the commentary team, you don't know what to expect from me. I got the upper hand in this match, even against Danielle."

"Speaking of Danielle, you finally got revenge on her for her aggression towards you by hitting her with the Meta Theory after the match. What does this mean for your relationship?"

"Seriously? She's the one who burned the bridge between us when she tossed me over the top rope in the Battle Royal before Riot Control. All I did was jump across the gap and meet her. She's not as tough as she thinks she is. She thought I would never retaliate for what she's done to me. Well, news flash, sis, you're my opponent at Slammiversary, you get treated just the same as Carnage or anyone else who would dare take this belt from me. Get ready, shortstop, because there's more where that came from!"

Mike turns back towards the parking lot, but then spins around with one more thing on his mind.

"Oh, and Katie... keep your disease-ridden ass out of this match. It doesn't concern you. If you want a shot at this title, wait your damn turn. Until then, go back to the docks and keep blowing sailors for 50 cents."

Mike flips off the camera and finally drives off in his rental car.

[❤Rose❤]

Right after the show is over and after Amanda has kidnapped Katie she shuts off her truck in front of her mobile home and climbs out of it. She's still dressed in her ring gear and looks hot and sexy like usually. Even though she's still pissed because of her loss a smile comes into her face as she thinks about her last actions.

"We'll Sapphire, you won this fucking match and you made me look like a moron again. Shit and this for the second time. Damn, now really everybody in this roster knows about my weakness and maybe they will use it against me too. But as you can see, that doesn't stop me. I'm still here and I'm still causing chaos and fear. Just remember what I did to your cute lil friend, haha.
Oh and a small advice for you, better stay away from me right now or you'll end the same way as Katie, haha. But be warned, with you I won't be so nice and friendly as with Katie."

She laughs in a dirty way and walks around the truck. With some difficulties she pulls the still unconscious Katie out of the truck and then the revving of a bike can be heard. Amanda looks up and sees that her sister Casey just arrived. Now Casey throws the unconscious Katie over her shoulder and brings her into the house while Amanda follows her. Then the scene fades to black.

[DΔShΞR]

The GZWA crew catch up Leon and Amber Torres sitting backstage kn a crate following the number one contender Battle Royal. Leon is icing his head and Amber is on her phone tweeting away. Leon sees the crew walk up and puts the ice down and gets Amber's attention. The couple turns too the crew.

|Amber Torres|
So before you guys say anything. Yes, i am mad at this guy. And what happened out there was personal. This is business here, so we will deal with that on our own time, not here.

Leon looks away and sighs.

|Reaction Crew|
Well, Amber you won your match against Taryn to advance in the tournament. What are your thoughts on the others that have advanced?

|Amber Torres|
Of the three girls I said were competition two are left. Candy Cane doesn't scare me, honestly. Raven on the other hand. I find it said that such a beautiful girl has to act so ugly to get ahead here. I refuse to play on someones personal life to win. That being said, Raven you don't faze me. And at the end of the day you'll get yours.

Amber gets up and brushes past the Reaction Crew. Leon sighs and puts the ice pack back on his head as the scene fades.

[Laura Jackson]

As Laura walked through the back of the building she was talking on her phone.

Laura Jackson
No I can't wait either seeing Revis in a Bucs jersey can't wait!

Laura Laura wait up.

Laura turned and saw Christy coming over towards her she sighed at the sight.

Laura Jackson
Look I got to go some idiot wants me. Yeah bye.

Laura turned and looked at Christy.

Laura Jackson
What the hell do you want?

Christy Hemme
Laura you are out of the women's tournament at the hands of Paige after you cost her shot in the tournament so why did you do what you did.

Laura Jackson
First off I cost Paige nothing. I came out to get a better look at the match since I thought when I advance I will face one of those girls so I should scout. Paige throw a little fizzy fit and tried to attack me. As for the quote grabbing her leg I was getting up after I tripped on the ramp and needed to pull myself up. It's not my fault Paige's leg was the closet thing to do that. Paige need to grow the hell up and accept defeat not mess with other people!

Christy Hemme
So is that a warning to Paige?

Laura Jackson
Yeah it is Paige go back and play with little dolls else I promise you. You'll never reach 21!

Christy Hemme
Well one last thing before you go what are yout thoughts on your lover Amanda Cortez taking Katie Matthews like she did.

Laura Jackson
Simple bitch had coming and if she needs someone to help her sort things out I will more then happy to help.

With that Laura walked off leaving a clearly disgusted Christy looking on. 

[Brandon]

Genesis is being shown packing his bags and getting ready to head out of the arena, when the ReAction crew approach him for a comment regarding tonight's events. 

CM Punk had the nerve to sit back and tell me that he 'respects' me. Punk, you have no idea what the word respect is, or what it means. Dean Maddoxxx sure as hell doesn't either, and it shows after tonight's chain of events. Punk wants to play games and have this "Best of Three" series with the King? I suppose that's fine and dandy. I mean, I may as well grant him this one final request. Cause after Slammiversary? CM Punk won't be able to run his mouth anymore. I'm going to wire his mouth shut and plant my foot so far up his ass that it's going to quench his thirst! Dean stole a victory from me and CM Punk is doing everything in his power to steal away my pride, my honor and my dignity. Rest assure, he or his Straight Edge Society won't  succeed. Next week? I'm coming prepared for war. Punk? Pay close attention to what I do to your boy, Dean-o. ;)

[Deleted]

After the end of the show, Katie Matthews had been taken by Amanda to her trailer home far away from the arena, with no one aware of where she is. Dragged into a bed room by someone she cannot see, she is forcibly tied onto the posts of the large bed. She looks from side to side and mutters to herself in a dejected voice. "Guess this is the end for me..." She hears the door open in front of her and her eyes slowly roll up in the direction of the door.

Amanda enters the room. Still in her ring attire and pissed like hell she glares at Katie. After getting tickled until she wet herself in public she still feels humiliated and would love to disappear forever, but that can't happen and so she only glares at Katie, full of hate. "Ok, lil bitch, now someone will pay for what this slut has done to me. And this someone will be you." She laughs in a dirty way and she slowly comes closer to the bed.

Katie only sighs and turns her head up slightly to look at Amanda, looking as though she had accepted the idea that she were about to be murdered. She talks to Amanda in a dejected voice. "Sapphire's not my girlfriend anymore, I had nothin' to do with what she did to you..."

But Amanda only laughs. She is out for revenge and she wants it now. "You know what? I don't give a fuck. And why the fuck should I believe you? So don't tell me your fucking lies." Holding her wet panties she sits down on the side and grabs Katie by her chin, turning her head so that she is forced to look at Amanda. "And now say that you're sorry."

Katie stares into Amanda's eyes, her own eyes being large in height like a cat. She whispers loudly with a deep sigh. "I'm sorry..."

But Amanda is still aggravated and she doesn't listen to her. Instead she stands up and takes off her urine stained shorts. "You know what... I don't believe you. Deep inside, you're laughing at me." Then she holds the wet panties in one hand. With her other hand she forcefully opens Katie's mouth and shoves the panties in. "Haha, I hope you like this."

Rather than scream or react with disgust, Katie only drops her head and keeps the wet shorts in her mouth as tears drip down her eyes, She slowly nods, as if to agree with what Amanda had said.

But as Amanda sees the tears she feels almost feels sorry for her. Realising that wasn't Katie's fault and that she has no real reason to terrorize Katie, she quickly pulls the panties from Katie's mouth and looks at her. "Ok, maybe you really do feel sorry for this crap... So there's no need to terrorize you. but I do have a better idea to make this fucking bitch pay." She comes a bit closer again and kneels down on the bed besides Katie. "Ok, you say that you aren't her girlfriend anymore? Well, maybe it's true... So prove it. Say that I'm your goddess and that you do everything for me." She smiles in a seductive way and now she crawls over Katie, rubbing her legs against Katie's stomach.

Katie's voice cracks and she bites her tongue. "I'm weak...I used to be strong, I wouldn't be in this situation, I'm just a pathetic waste of skin." She raises her head up to look at Amanda again and stares directly at her with her massive dripping eyes. "If you've taken me out from the world, just kill me now..."

Still on top of Katie, Amanda looks down at her in confusion. "Kill you? Why the fuck should I do that?"

"There's no point in me livin', I've spent my life only wanting to fight and hurt people, and I don't feel like that anymore, I don't feel....right." Turning her head away from Amanda, Katie begins to sob, which she struggles to prevent from happening because of her hands being tied back.

"I have a better idea." She moves a bit down and rubs her body over Katie's. then she whispers into her ear. "Why don't you join our lil group and help me out a bit? We will find a way to get our revenge" Then she bites Katie lightly in the side of her neck with her lips. "And I'll show you a reason why life can be so wonderful."

Upon being nipped on the neck, Katie lets out a gulp. She keeps her eye contact off of Amanda and talks quietly. "Why would you want me to do that? I'm a weakling and you hate me for being with your sister, you want to take me out..."

But Amanda doesn't let her talk anymore. Her face comes closer to Katie's till their lips meet. Then she shoves her tongue into Katie's mouth and kisses her passionately. While Amanda kisses her, Katie does not resist, partially because of her being trapped, and partially due to enjoying the feeling. She soon joins in, even moaning erotically and closing her eyes. Then Amanda breaks the kiss and licks her lips. "I don't hate you. I want you to help me out a bit." She runs her hand over Katie's cheek and smiles. "So if you promise not to run riot I will untie you." After she feels Amanda stroke her cheek, her mouth rises upward in a smile for a split second before she returns to her depressed state. "I promise not to run riot..."

Amanda reaches besides the bed and then she pulls switchblade from behind it. She opens it and cuts the ropes so that Katie is free, then putting the knife away. "So now it's up to you... You can leave or you can stay here with me and become a member of the strongest stable here in this company." She bends down and strokes Katie's cheek before she kisses Katie again. Her body rubs on top of Katie's slowly and seductively as she whispers in her ear again. "And now show me that I'm your goddess... Prove that you're worthy to get inducted and be part of our group." She nips Katie playfully on the ear.

Katie grabs Amanda by the back of her head and pushes her so that she's lying on the bed. Then she takes her long sleeved shirt off to reveal her bra, Showing no sign of emotion, not even a smile. Throwing herself forward, Katie slams her lips into Amanda's and lies on top of her. She moans as she sticks her tongue into Amanda's tongue, even thrusting her own body on top of hers. Amanda wraps her arms around Katie and their tongues lock up. Her eyes are closed as she gently rubs against Katie's body and her hands run gently over her back. Then the scene fades to black.

[The Bradley Clan]

Thomas Morning and the ReAction crew catch up to Danielle Bradley as she makes her way to her locker room, still sore from the Battle Royal ad the post-match attack by her brother.

"Danielle, you're one step closer to achieving your goal of unseating your brother as Television Champion, but you're not the only challenger in that match as a result of Justice's interference. What do you have to say about the outcome of the match?"

"I'm not happy about it for two reasons - one, I don't get to face my brother one-on-one like I should have, and two, I'll have to worry about a de facto fourth participant in Justice. If Mike and I can agree on one thing, it's that we don't want or need her anywhere near our business. I'm disease-free, and I'd like to keep it that way."

"What about Mike's post-match Meta Theory?"

"I knew you were going to ask me that. Mike, I hope you're listening - you got me good. Now we're even. At Slammiversary, we'll break the tie and see who truly is the better wrestler between us. Spoiler alert - it's me!"

"But what about the third participant in the match, Carnage?"

"I don't know if Justice wants to cost him the title or help him win it, all I know is that Carnage is just the third wheel in this match and can be taken out of the picture quickly. Now, if you'll excuse me--"

A GZWA staffer approaches Danielle with a letter.

"What the hell is this?..."

Dear Ms. Bradley,

After witnessing the actions you and your brother have taken against each other in recent weeks, we hereby order both of you to refrain from any and all physical contact until the Triple Threat match at Slammiversary. Failure to comply with this order will result in your removal from the match, or, in your brother's case, forfeiture of the Television Championship. In addition, we request your presence at the GZWA headquarters for a special sitdown interview with your brother and Christy Hemme to take place before Slammiversary. We feel this interview will build great anticipation for your match.

Sincerely,

The GZWA Board of Directors.

Danielle shakes her head as she finishes reading the letter.

"Hoo boy..."

She crumples the letter and heads into the locker room, slamming the door behind her.

[Victor Phillips]

*Seen in mid convo, Raven was seen on the phone seemingly aggravated as she played in her honey brown ponytail. Sucking her teeth, she began to talk.*



Rae| I just don't see why you two have to be so damn friendly with each other. I'm your girlfriend and I'm beefing with his wife, so you should hate his guts by association. Loathe with me, Victor. It's fuuuuu-uuuuun!

*Raven awaited an answer. She was hoping that Victor would jump right on the "I hate this asshole" wagon, but alas, he was a genuinely nice guy. A fighter til the end, but not one for petty rivalries without a purpose.*

Vic| Rae, you know that’s not me. I’m not here to make enemies, I’m here to win championships. Don’t think I don’t have your back though babe, because I do. But like I told you before, you’re a big girl and I know you’ll handle your situation with Amber in your own special way. But do you really believe that this is a good use of our time?

*Victor clearly was leaning towards the "leave me out of this" way of thinking but felt the need to give Raven the opportunity to persuade him that the whole Amber fiasco was necessary. With Victor's last words Raven came to a revelation......*

Rae| I think so, because you know what? I'm actually Amber's friend in all this. All this time Amber's been oblivious to Leon taking lil' Dash on a field trip to the clinic and I had to be the one to shine the light over her head. He was lying to her and I, like a true friend, told her about his trifling ways. I don't know why that heffa is mad at me. I'm just doing what feels right in my heart.

*Raven actually believed that to some degree.*

Vic| Rae, you know I know about that sweetheart you have on the inside, so I understand you are trying to help the girl. After all, you're not just bouncing around causing mischief because what you said clearly had some truth behind it. I mean the whole thing came off a little "Jerry Springer'ish", but I trust that your intentions are good. Plus it mustn't have distracted you too much, because I seen you out there kicking ass. So do what you need to help your friend, but remember we've got one goal...gold.

Rae| Trust me, I haven't. "Gold" has been the name of the game ever since the year started and it'll be synonymous with our names soon enough.

*Victor & Raven are clearly on the same page still, but Victor now understands Raven's situation with Amber better. With that said, Raven & Victor say their goodbyes and end their phone call and go their separate ways to handle some post-Primetime stuff.....at least until later tonight*

[Xion Zeros]

After checking both the paramedics and her locker room, CM Punk sighs heavily as there is no trace of Lise Starr still in the building. He witnessed the betrayal of Lise's former best friend on the replay on the monitors backstage.

CM Punk uncharacteristically kicking himself for hanging out with Maddoxxx to enjoy their win tonight instead of sticking around for Lise's match. If he did, maybe he could have done something to help her.

CM Punk: I told that girl that AJ was nothing but trouble and she didn't listen...

Tia walks up to Punk with her hands on her hips, " Well they do say karma is a bitch. Don't blame yourself for her foolish mistakes."

Punk rolls his eyes, "You know it's your fault that she didn't listen to me. I knew it was a bad idea to be a gentleman and let you share my taxi at the airport. Of course the stagehands had to spill the beans and Lise thought I was sneaking around with you behind her back. We both know you're always crawling back into my bed one way or another, don't we Sweet Cheeks?"

Tia shakes her head in disgust and rolls her eyes back, "Oh please Phil, don't flatter yourself. Besides, it's not my fault that your new little girlfriend is so obsessive and jealous. But then again, why would anyone want to trust a snake such like yourself. I am getting so sick of people thinking that we are still getting involved with one another. It's kinda like that Keisha Cole song minus the cheating part. I might as well had, but in this case no thank you. Look Phil, things aren't gonna be the same between us, maybe never, but as much as we get on each other's nerves, we still should try to find some kind of respect towards each other. Arriving to the arena with you today did bring back some memories don't get me wrong, but not once did I make any advances. I was just taking it as mutual respect between employees."

Punk smirks, "I'm shocked. For once, we are on the same page. It has to be pretty damn cold in hell right now." He sighs briefly while scratching his head, "Besides, it was the least I could do. You got roughed up pretty bad by Lisey. I know how much it sucks to be injured. How's your back doing anyway? And no, I'm not offering to give you another 'ride' either. I don't need you suing me for whiplash after riding the CM Punk Express."

Tia smirks as she shakes her head, "There's the sarcasm I grew to love. Thank you for being concerned, I am actually feeling a lot better. As a matter of fact, I am ready to get back in the ring soon against your new found ring rat once she is done with her crazy bff drama. Yeah, you've heard right, I am far from done with Lise. So while I am taking this time to heal, I have been focusing on my new protege Tennel Blade. To be honest, I have been stress free since. I should personally thank AJ the next time I see her."

CM Punk adds, "Yeah, you thank little Miss April-May-June-July and you'll have your own little demented psycho BFF on your hands. Don't you have enough crazy girlfriends with that sorority you're in?"

"Hey, you leave girls out of this. At least we are sorority level and not like those little high schoolers that flock you. Oh and don't worry, I am smart enough not to trust a crazy chick like AJ, I just want to say a little thank you and that is all. Just a word of advice Phil, because I care so much, drop the whole "I dig crazy chicks" thing because it is going to get you in a whole lot more trouble than I did," Tia winks at Punk and giggles.

CM Punk laughs, "Just because Lise still plays Pokemon on every flight doesn't mean she's still a kid... You forget that I'm not afraid of crazy chicks. I dated Daffney before I dated you. She made AJ look like she has Tourettes. Seriously though, that's really nice of you to look out for Tennel like that. It looks like my good nature rubbed off on you. Wow, that didn't sound right..."

Tia's eyes grew big in shock and slightly giggles, "If you say so? Nah, I'm just kidding, you did teach me a lot through my career. There wouldn't be The Best Diva in the World if it wasn't for The Best in the World himself. Speaking of Tennel, I have to deliver some news to her about her final task to winning the gold. It was actually nice to clear things up between us. But lets not get too comfortable if we don't want to be accused of anything anymore."

CM Punk folds his arms, "Yeah, I think I have gone too long without insulting you. Being nice to you for extended periods of time isn't good for my health. Maybe I should just drop your phone number conveniently into Genesis' mailbox. He needs a good rebound to hit it and quit it. Would be good for his ego before I crush it at Slammiversary."

"Fine as long as I can give your address to the Legendary Mae Young. Bye Phil, till next time." Tia balls up her fist and lightly taps Punk's shoulder and makes a click sound.

CM Punk shudders, "That's one challenge that I'm not even brave enough to conquer... Oh yeah, one more thing, Tia. Stay away from Kanye, okay? I don't want you going North West."

As Tia walks away she screams, "Whatever!"

He briefly watches her leave with his eyes on Tia's ample rear, Punk shook his head and adds, "I swear I never get sick of seeing that girl walk out of my life."

[Xion Zeros]

After seeing the footage of Amanda kidnapping Katie and the security personnel were unable to stop her, Mariah frantically picks up her cell phone and calls Amanda's phone. It rung twice before Amanda picked up.

Mariah: "Amanda, now you listen to me right now. I don't care what issue you have with Katie, but bring her back NOW. I'm not playing any games with you. If you're going to start acting like a child then I'm going to start treating you like one..."

Amanda has picked up her phone and listens to her sister. A smile comes into her face, but it's mean. Then she answers. "Aww, are you finished? You should breath between your talking, haha." She laughs a bit, but then she becomes deadly honest. "But tell me a reason why I should bring her back. I think she likes me more than you, haha. Oh and what do you mean with treating me like a child? Do you wanna lock me up in my room? Haha, no chance."

Mariah clenches her fist tightly as she listens to Amanda, "Don't make this personal, Amanda. I promise you, I don't want this to get personal between us. If you take it down this road, I won't be apologizing for what happens next. Bring Katie back home or ELSE."

"What else? You wanna threaten me? Aww, I'm so scared." Again the dark haired girl laughs. "And now you listen. I don't want it to become personal, so you better stay out of my way. And if you want Katie back, then come here and get her. You know where you can find me. But take this as a warning. I'm not scared of you and I don't have any remorse to beat up my own sister. Oh, I forgot, you're the GM and can't fight. Too bad for you. Haha ..."

Mariah only gets even angrier, "I may not be able to lay my hands on you personally as long as I hold this position, but I swear... if any harm comes to Katie, I'm going to personally make sure the rest of your life for you and all of your sick little friends is nothing but a living hell."

She giggles in a mean way. "So try it ..."

Mariah merely laughed at Amanda's taunting, "Seriously, you think I'm going to come to you and right into an ambush? I'm not stupid, little sister. Remember I'm the one who has beaten you just as many times as you have had sexual partners. Tell me, what is this really about? Why, Katie? If you wanted to talk to me, the only thing you had to do was ask."

"But I didn't wanna talk to you. But I'm nice and I tell you why Katie. This little bitch fits perfectly to my plans. And it was a great way to shock some people here. And they'll even more shocked when they see what comes next." But Amanda is still offended of Mariah's words. "And don't talk bad about my friends or I send Casey to you for a short lil visit. And I don't know what problems you have with my sex life. At least I have one."

Mariah rolls her eyes at the other end of the phone, "What plans? I wasn't aware that you were actually capable of coherent thought. Just be a good girl and bring Katie home safe and sound and I'll make sure me and rest of QBM go easy on you and your friends."

Now Amanda really laughs. "And what if Katie doesn't wanna come back? Oh, and you can't scare me with your stupid bimbo group? What shall they do to me that could be worse than the stuff Sapphire did to me? Haha, so you see, I'm no good girl, so try to catch me if you can, haha ..." She chuckles and even though Mariah can't see her, she flips her the bird.

"Katie's coming back... I'm not going to give up on her - ever."

"If you think so, then keep dreaming." Amanda thinks about hanging up the phone, but then she whispers into the phone. "Oh, I forgot my last words ....Go to hell, big sis." Then she hangs up.

“Excuse me, Morgan. You wouldn't mi....”

Before the Reaction interviewer could get the chance to execute a well-planned segment, Morgan snatched the microphone from his hands. Her eyes stern and direct towards the interviewer. A glare that could scare many children away. The room was completely silent, until Morgan's thoughts finally decided to release itself. Morgan lifting up the microphone to speak her mind, and the many thoughts she did have over this Primetime's many disasters.

“I don't give a damn about any question you are going to ask me. I'm here to discuss something different. Yes, I gave Raven a taste of her own medicine, and deserved each and every dose of that shit. That's what her ass gets for embarrassing Amber on her son's birthday. I can't talk about how classless she is though, because we're both Southern girls, but I can talk about how fake she is.”

“But I'll have that saved up until next time. There is something even more important that I'd like to talk about. We all just watched two of the most hot ass messes tonight. One of them was Tia and Philly Cheesesteak together in the limo. I know damn well I didn't see that bullshit with two of my very own eyes!”

Morgan's composure was loose like a cannon. Morgan trying to force it within her with a loud sigh. Air escaping her nose with a strong push.

“You know what? I'm not even surprised. The girls always fall for the abusive types, and when they try to run, they find their way back again. I don't know what they did, but I will be asking questions.”

“The next is my friend Katie. I heard that she got kidnapped. I tell you one thing. It better not be that butch ass bitch trying to pull tricks. I was too busy trying to put Loose Lise and Apeshit April in their places, that I wasn't keeping an eye on my girls, and the bullshit going on involving them. First that punk, and now it's those looney ass lesbos. Amanda thinks that she's going to get the advantage over Katie and Mariah. I wish she tries that shit with me. I will curb stomp her ass all the way to China.”

“I don't know what's going on with these girls, but it seems I got caught slippin. I'm going to have to regulate and keep this clique still in tact, since it seems I'm the only one that won't take shit from anyone here!”

[Kayda Erikson]

What is wrong with me? she thought to herself. As we see Taryn making her way backstage. Again she lost her match. She could have had a opportunity at the championship...but lost it.Truth was she was partly distracted tonight as she kept thinking about what Sapphire said to her a few weeks ago. no...don't let her get to you Taryn,your better than her.Even though she's been criticized a lot in this business, why is she letting Sapphire get the upper hand? You had a huge opportunity to get a shot at the championship but you blew it Taryn... she keeps saying over in her head.Wondering and arguing to herself with her losing she accidently bumps into someone and mumbles

sorry....

that's okay...are you okay?

asked the man.Taryn shakes her head no as she lifts it up to spot a man she hasn't seen before.But truth was she was still new to the company

not really...don't I know you from somewhere?Aren't you a lawyer or play one on tv?

she asked probably already making a fool out of herself.He chuckles shaking his head

no,you must have me confused with someone else.Im Trent Lewis...

he says putting his hand out.Taryn smiles looking at him before placing his hand in his

nice to meet you Trent.Im Taryn Terrell

oh, from TNA.I remember you.You and Gail had a lot of good matches there

thank you very much.At least you seem to think im a qualified wrestler

oh? Your having problems with the divas already?

Not really all of them.Truth is I haven't had a chance to meet the others yet.Its just one so far

Maybe I could help...I've been here a lot longer than you have.Who is it?

Her name is Sapphire

she says making him choke a little bit.Taryn looks at him out of concern wondering why he did that

are you okay?

f-fine...I just need a drink...

he says walking over to the table and grabs himself a water bottle before taking a sip.Taryn follows looking at him

you okay?

she asked again as he lets out a cough nodding his head

yeah,sorry about that

maybe I should go...I taken most of your time

no...you can stay...

you sure?Your looking a little pale

she says as footsteps were heard making her roll her eyes great...what more could she want from me today? she thought as she spots Sapphire walking up to them.

The Crown Jewel is not in a good mood after her night. Yes, she had beaten Amanda, but she had lost to the one diva that she really wanted to face and beat, Raven. The loss cost her a chance to become number one contender to the GZWA Women's Championship, an opportunity that she'd waited almost a year to get. She wouldn't have even been as upset if it would have been a clean loss, as Sapphire did respect Raven for being similar to her in that neither woman was really a "diva" however, Raven had used the distraction of Genesis' entrance theme to gain the victory, which was completely dirty and underhanded. Sapphire also had an extremely heated exchange with her ex boyfriend earlier in the night, adding salt to the already open wound. She marches up to Taryn and Trent, folding her arms and leaning her weight on one leg, her eyes bouncing back and forth between the two.

Trenton Jeffrey Lewis! I told you to come find me as soon as possible because --

Oh my Gosh, Jeffrey! What are you doing here?

Sapphire was cut off by a flamboyant sounding male's voice, as she and Trent both turn to see who spoke. A bald man stands with his hands on his hips, looking at the group.



Taryn, Sapphire, and Trent all look at the man confused, as he walks right up to Trent, and hugs him tightly.

Umm...It's Trent, and I work here.

He tries to put some space between this man and himself, and succeeds after a few seconds, causing the newcomer to appear hurt at his actions as Trent adjusts his suit and tie.

Jeffrey, I'm surprised at you. Why don't you introduce me to your friends?

As he speaks, he looks around very obviously paying attention to the superstars as they make their way past.

I-I'm sorry, but I'm not Jeffrey. I think you may have me confused with another employee.

Trent turns his attention back to the women.

Now, Sapphire, you were saying something?

Fine, Jeff. Break my heart, it's okay. I should have known you always would.

He turns away from the group and takes several steps away as Sapphire begins to speak before turning his head back to them briefly and over dramatically walking away seemingly hurt at the interaction that had taken place. Meanwhile, Taryn and Sapphire exchange glances of confusion before looking at Trent, who is attempting to pretend the whole thing never happened.

Trent, is there a confession that you'd like to make on ReAction?

What?! Kristine, I have no idea what the hell just happened. Speaking of not knowing what happened, how's your head after that Bitch Kick from Raven? Fitting name too, by the way.

Okay, don't admit it. Those rumors will be all over the internet by the end of this show, anyway. And what did I tell you about calling me Kristine? It's Sapphire. Second, that's very fitting for Raven as that is exactly what I think she is after she stooped down to such a low level as to distract me by playing Gen's entrance music to win.

Speaking of Genesis, you two had quite the conversation earlier tonight.

Sapphire lowers her eyes to the ground. Her heart is still aching from what was said early in the show, and she really doesn't want to discuss her personal life in front of Taryn.

I'm not going to talk about Genesis tonight.

What about your rival, Amanda kidnapping your girlfriend or I guess now, your ex girlfriend, Katie Matthews?

Sapphire keeps her eyes downward, remaining silent as Taryn takes the opportunity to grab the microphone from Trent.

Taryn raises an eyebrow listening to the two of them talking So, maybe Sapphire has a weakness afterall? she thought to herself But would she really stoop that low just to get a rise at her?That's not what I do she says to herself

Okay, Taryn are you willing to speak to me about your match tonight?

he asked making Taryn look back at Sapphire hearing the other thing about Katie.Why would someone play somebody else if they were in another relationship? she thought.Maybe Sapphire has a lot of problems and Taryn was at the wrong place wrong time thing?Trent looks at Taryn

Taryn?...You okay?

he asked making her snap out of her trance as she nods her head

F-fine...just thinking about something.What was the question again?

Just wanted to get your thoughts about your match.But if you have something you like to get off your chest feel free to do so

he says noticing something obviously was bugging her Should I confront her about this?Would I really be that cruel? she thought before shaking her head after what she said why shouldn't I? she thinks looking at the expression on Sapphire's face.She was hurting,she can tell.She felt that way once upon a time....wait...am I feeling sorry for her? she sighs running a hand through her hair

Me and Amber had a match.A battle to see who would be next in line for the women's championship.Would I have like to win tonight?Of course who wouldn't.But the fact is...it didn't happen.I lost...and I may never get another opportunity again

How do you feel about that?

im not happy about it obviously.I have this dream...to show everybody you don't need to judge a book by its cover on what kind or how they act...she says this taking a pause staring at Sapphire saying this

because you never know how they will turn out in the end.Because karma will come back around bitting them on the butt.You should really think before you judge.Or you'll be missing out on a great opportunity to know that person

she says before moving her eyes back on the floor as Trent nods his head

and that second thing?

it's not worth it...im tired, and im going to go back into the locker room to change.Sapphire, I don't know much about you,but I know your hurting right now.I can see it in your eyes.I had that same look once before.You know the reason why I didn't anything about your problems tonight?Because im not that kind of diva.I don't use people's personal problems to mess with their minds or one up the feud.I've see how it works in the past,it's never pretty.We have issues I know, but im saying this as one diva to another who respects what you do in this business,if your looking for a stranger to talk about what your going through,or if you want to lash out at me,im here...you know where to find me.Trent, it was nice to meet you,hopefully i'll see you around again

she says with a smile staring at Sapphire once more before beginning to walk away

Sapphire can't help but shake her head as Taryn begins to walk away still in disbelief.

We weren't finished here, Taryn.

Taryn turns back around, as Sapphire continues.

First, you're tired? I was in two matches tonight, and unlike you, I'm not just going to settle with the cheap way I lost.

Well, you did beat Amanda.

Sapphire spins around and glares at Trent for chiming it. She didn't care about defeating Amanda, she had done it before and it wasn't the preferred match she wanted to win.

I don't care about my win against Amanda. I've beaten her before, and I can keep doing it. I wanted to win my match against Raven tonight. I wanted to advance and get an opportunity at the Women's Championship. Second, I'm not a diva, Taryn. That's an insult to what I do, and if you had any respect for me or anything that I hope to accomplish in GZWA, then you would know that I am an athlete and a wrestler. Not just any athlete, but The Crown Jewel of GZWA. You know what?

An evil smirk crossed her face.

I think it's time for you to find that out first hand.

Sapphire rubs her hands together excitedly, switching her eyes between Trent and Taryn.

Good luck, Diva.

She laughs as she gives Taryn the once over, and turns around towards Trent.

One last question, Sapphire?

The slightly cocky Crown Jewel smiles, nodding her head to allow him to ask. Instead of asking a question, Trent locks eyes with Sapphire, and he pulls her in tightly against his body. She struggles slightly, but as he gazes into her eyes, she eases up, even smiling at him and caressing his cheek with her hand, rubbing it down his chest. Trent looks deep within her soul, leaning closer to her and kisses her passionately. Upon releasing her, an evil smile forms on his face as asks his final question.

Would you agree that you and Genesis are finally over, and that you're all mine?

Immediately, Sapphire snapped out of her little trance and returned to being The Crown Jewel.

I will never be yours, Trent. My heart has and always will belong to Genesis.

She whips her head around to shoot a dirty look towards Taryn, as if to warn her to stay away from him.

Guess I'll be seeing you in the ring.

She turns her back around, and heads off towards the locker room, as the camera shows an obviously frustrated Trent Lewis.

Oh, you will be mine, Kristine. It's just a matter of time...

An evil grin is on his face as the camera feed fades out.


OOC - Thanks to @tma for Taryn Terrell's parts.

[Kayda Erikson]

It felt really good to get my hands on El Arrendajo Ardiente tonight for the crap he's done over the last several months, especially for what he did to Mei Long last Primetime. No one puts their hands on my girlfriend, and he's lucky that all I did was beat him in the middle of the ring.

AJ glares into the camera, knowing that El AA is probably somewhere watching.

Tonight, I also got to step in the ring with Hano Eiyu, the winner of the 2013 Riot match who will be challenging for my GZWA Heavyweight Championship. I've said it before, I respect the man, and I'm looking forward to facing him when the gold is on the line. I've held this belt for almost a year, and although that's a long time, I'm not ready to give it up quite yet. Now, I'm sorry to cut this short, but I need to get ready. Mei and I have plans tonight.

[Tyler Storm]

The ReAction crew catches up with Tyler Storm after he walks out of the "Gorilla" after his match.

RC:Tyler,Tyler can we get a moment?

Tyler:Yea,you sure can.

RC:How does it feel getting the win in your debut match?

Tyler:Awesome.I was feeling so pumped out there with the fans cheering me on and being the opening match was just as awesome.

RC:Any words for management?

Tyler:I'm glad for the chance to show everyone what I'm made of and to put some cash in your pockets.

RC:Final question,Whats next for you?

Tyler:Keep working towards becoming the man here in GZWA.Nothing less than that.Now I'm going to go celabrate.

RC:Thanks for your time.

[Tia Brooks]

Tennel is in a giddy mood after winning her match to be a step closer to the gold. She sees her new mentor Tia Brooks walk by.

"Tia, just the woman I wanted to see. I can't believe it, I am still in the running."

Tia shakes her head, "Well you better believe it. You can't start doubting yourself now. All that will do is put you back to where you were. So what you need to do is keep believing in yourself and that GZWA Women's Championship shall be yours."

Tennel smiles, "You know your right Tia, and that is why I am honored to have you as my mentor. Too bad I didn't have you as my Pro during NXT. You know, to be honest, I feel a bit uneasy that I didn't actually win fair tonight. You know with the interference and all."

"Aww, I'm sure Adriana wasn't that bad of a Pro. But then again, what is she doing now? As for you feeling "uneasy", don't. Like they say, if life hands you lemons, make lemonade. Or in your case, if life hands you blood, make blood pudding or whatever."

Tennel rolls her eyes, "I got your point, but don't think it is cute to insult me."

"My bad, but anyways, you are not off the hook just yet. You have one more task to complete, and it is the most important one yet."

Tennel sighs, "Another one! I think you just like to torture me or something."

"Don't give me no lip Miss, I know what I am talking about. Trust me, you will be as good as gold. I gotta go, be prepared in a couple of days. Toddles!"

As Tia is walking away Tennel says in frustration, "Here we go with the gold references again."

[❀ℋine 'ea❀]

reaction|“What made you want to request that match in particular?”

mei|“Well, sort of a response. One who feels that the diva division shouldn't be respected. That we don't have what it takes to be known as great wrestlers. The “Anti-Diva” perhaps. This was just to prove this individual wrong. To have a match that female wrestlers can test their strength and ability. A little more blood, sweat, and tears. Besides, a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match can be entertaining, especially when divas are involved.”

reaction|“Who do you think is going to win the tournament?”

mei|“That golden question. I'm not so sure this time around. The women are all such wonderful competitors. With different styles reflecting these women, the victor I still can't speculate. Now, I'd like to go further, but I have a busy night. Catch you guys later.”

---

She walked into her locker room, feeling relieved about another Primetime ending. She had an upcoming date with A.J., so her mood was easily content. With the many bullets of sweat gliding down her body, she had to take a quick shower to cleanse them away and relax the hard worn muscles used. She took one last look at her championship belt, hanging in her locker, with a sigh under her breath.

Her shower moment was short as expected. Her outfit was halfway suitable for public, wearing medium-washed jeans, and a black laced bra. Her hair still wet, which the towel in her hands was meant to handle.

Her eyes glanced to the locker in front of her. The tension released in the shower, resurfaced again. She dropped her towel at an instant. Her championship belt was missing. It's golden glory swept from her grasp. Mei wondered if she was being tricked after requesting the match for Slammiversary, so she searched throughout her room , searching her locker and her suitcase. She even speculated if she may have moved it herself.

Looking inside of her locker and suitcase and there was still no sign of it. Mei stood in the center of the room with her hands on her hips, deeply confounded. Just then, her locker room door slowly opened with Raven on the other end peeking her head in. She observed a flustered Mei, giving a sincere smile & nod.

raven| Hey, hun. I heard all the noise form out here. Everything okay?

Raven proceeded to step all the way in, uninvited, browsing Mei's locker room noticing her locker disheveled and suitcase ransacked. Nonchalantly, she leaned up against the wall across from Mei knowing what was on her shoulder would immediately catch her attention.



As if everything was fine and in place, Raven looked at Mei expecting a legit answer to her question.

Mei spun towards the bronze-complected girl. Her blonde streaks under her ebony hair striking towards the Dragon's eyes like a bullet. Another thing also struck her. Mei's championship belt on her shoulder.

Female competitors pulling dirty schemes for success wasn't new in GZWA, or better yet any kind of business, but with the many taunts thrown towards the champion by her other opponents, she held many of her responses in. This time, however, was different. At the sight of someone unfairly swiping her accomplishments away from her, her sight formed into a fiery glare towards the mischievous bird. The Dragon's legs sneaked forward while her upper body followed behind, inching closer towards her opponent. Her arms mimicking the Indian stance.

mei| Already playing tricks aren't you? That shouldn't be a surprise.

Raven just leaned off the wall with a Cheshire grin. "Playing tricks" was one of the more nicer terms she's heard for her brand of tactics. Sliding the title off of her shoulder and into the palm of her hands, Raven stared at her reflection, wiping her hand over the championship gold feeling complete....whole fir the first time in a long while.. The only problem she found in this moment came when she slid her thumb across the name plate. That mere second seeing another name beside hers on that title quickly broke the mesmerizing hold that belt had on her.

raven| Not any kind of trick at all. Just admiring what's.....yours - for the time being, that is.

Raven pushed herself to say that the title was Mei's as she folded the straps and held it out to her. No cheap shot, no underhanded trick, no attitude. Simply giving the title back until the time comes when the plate is to be engraved with a new name.

Mei gave a short glance to the belt, placed in the wrong woman's hands, before her eyes lifted upwards towards the tall Raven in front of her. Mei slowly got a hold of the golden glory. wanting to claim what was her's. She was expecting another trick to be pulled from Raven's sleeves as she lifted the belt away from the ravenous athlete's grasp, so she was one second away from heading towards her battle stance.

Mei was a fighting champion, no doubt about it. Rae smirked as she noticed Ms. Long was ready for the worst possible outcome, but all she did was smirk eying the title back in Mei's grasp more than anything. Seeing Mei grip the title close in her possession only made Raven more uneasy as giving it back was hard enough....but she shook it off not showing it, only letting out a giggle.

raven| I see the love you have for that title is real. At least you have real feelings for one thing around you, right?

Raven winked, turning on her heels as she headed towards the door. Before exiting, she turned back around to catch the look on Mei's face both of them locking eyes. Rae looked at her with a devious grin as if to further say that 'she knows' adding to her last words. Closing the door behind her and waving "ta-ta", Raven finally made her exit from her surprise visit.

raven| Smooches.

Mei only left a powerful glare at Raven as she exited the locker room.
