Words: 12,000+
Author's Note: OK last smol batch of chapters to hold you while I continue to work on my other story! Hope you like!
------
On Smackdown, Seth Rollins walks out in a black suit and his briefcase. The crowd heavily boos him as he flaunts his briefcase.
"Last Monday on Raw, I was seconds away from cashing in my Money in The Bank contract on John Cena. John, I got a message for you. You got lucky on Monday night. You got lucky but the clock is still ticking because, what was it? Not even 24 hours, into your 15th reign as champion and you were flat on your back...unconscious...in the center of this ring. In a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero." He spoke. "Look at this face...look at this face, look at it real hard and get used to it. Because very soon, this will be the face of the WWE. Hah hah!"
Dean's theme comes on as he walks out, with a microphone in hand. Wearing a leather jacket, his shoulder was taped up.
"And there is the man that Seth Rollins stabbed in the back, last month," Cole reminded. "His former brother, Dean Ambrose. And Ambrose has not forgotten."
"An incredibly sore loser..." JBL mumbled.
"You're delusional, Rollins!" Dean stated. "You're talkin' crazy, you really gonna think you're gonna get your hands on those titles? No, no, not while I'm around. I warned you no matter where you are...no matter what you do, no matter how much of a plan you and your sugar daddy, Triple H, concocted...I'm gonna be there. Every time. I mean hey, how did your little championship plan work out for you?"
After they showed the highlights of Cena getting attacked by Kane and Rollins trying to cash in only for Ambrose to attack him, Seth looked annoyed at the footage.
"Watch that footage...watch that footage and watch it over and over and over again. Because that's your life for the next year. You think that briefcase is a blessing? No. That briefcase is a curse because it's every excuse I need to ruin your life. To ruin your future and to ruin that precious face of WWE." Dean declared as he took a few steps forward.
"Yeah? You think I care? You think I care if you show that video, over and over and over? Look I know you better than anybody. And I know you don't have what it takes to keep that up for a year," Rollins replied. "You got lucky on Monday night. You can't keep that up for a year. And you can't stop me from cashing in this contract, and becoming the next WWE World Heavyweight champion."
Dean walked down the ramp and took off his jacket. "Of course I can...I'll start, right now."
"Oh, here we go! Dean Ambrose has been waiting for this moment!" Cole exclaimed as the crowd cheered loudly.
Ambrose slides into the ring and Rollins swings his briefcase at him. Dean manages to duck his attack and starts unloading on him with frenzied punches.
"Rollins & Ambrose brawling to kick off Smackdown!"
The crowd boos once Orton runs out and beats Ambrose down. Seth recovers and starts to join in the assault by stomping on him. The crowd screams and cheers loudly once Roman's theme comes on with him running down the ramp. As soon as he slides in, Seth and Orton beat him down. Roman stands up and goes right after Orton, giving him a headbutt. He gives Seth and Orton back and forth punches until Rosa runs out.
"Another Authority goon..."
Rosa goes to ringside, in her Fourth of July outfit which is red waist high shorts, and a USA themed top. She manages to grab Roman's leg, preventing him from moving. Orton takes advantage and he hits him with a big boot to the face, beating him down with Rollins. The crowd cheers loudly once Morgan dashes down the ring in skinny jeans and a USA themed crop top while having her hair in a high pony tail. She had a USA themed cap on her head, along with USA themed fingerless gloves. Rosa turns around and gets speared, while Roman fights back and throws Seth to Dean, who starts unloading on him, in the corner. Rollins retreats, along with Orton, while Morgan gets in the ring.
"You broke my nail! You broke my nail!" Rosa screamed as she got held back by Orton.
She tries to get back in the ring, while Morgan throws her cap at her.
"You broke my nail! You see what you did!? You see what you did!? I had to pay a lot of money for this!" Rosa shouted.
Roman's theme comes back on, while he stands tall with Morgan and Dean. Roman glances back at her, and Ambrose, before watching The Authority goons retreat.
"And here comes the boss." Cole said over the loud boos while Triple H walked out.
"All right. Think you guys have made your point. So now let me make my point. And my point is the only one that matters. Dean Ambrose, you wanna fight? Well tonight you will get a fight when you face The Viper, Randy Orton. And Morgan, Roman...since you two like to stick your noses in everyone's business, if any of you interfere in that match tonight, Morgan, you'll never get a Diva's championship opportunity ever again, and Roman, you'll be out of the fatal four way match, at the BattleGround Pay Per View, for the WWE World Heavyweight championship." Triple H announced. "Good luck."
Morgan shook her head, rolling her eyes at the news, and turned to her comrades, asking if they were all right, while fist bumping them.
---------
Later that evening, Natalya, Nikki, Alicia, Cameron, Eva, Naomi, Layla, Summer, & Rosa were in the ring. The ring was decorated in a Fourth of July themed party. Some divas were dancing, while Rosa grabbed a mic to cut a promo on how all the women were invited except for the crazy ones like AJ, Paige, and Morgan. She received heavy boos as she proceeded to talk highly of herself but as she spoke, Morgan walked out without her music as Rosa remained oblivious.
"I would like to say that it feels great to be in a public place, without being around a Harley Quinn wannabe like Morgan, right?" Rosa chuckled as Morgan got in the ring, while the divas watched on.
The Philly Diva checked out the table of food and went for the punch. She took a cup of punch and leaned on the ropes. Taking a few sips she continued to watch Rosa rant to the crowd.
"We can have so much positive attitude with the divas, without being around negative attitudes like Morgan. This is the Fourth of July! So let's make it memorable!"
"Uh..." Cole trailed off.
"Yeah, uh, Rosa?" JBL asked as Morgan grabbed the punch bowl.
"Thank you, yes I know. I know. Thank you. I'm glad you agree with me. I'm glad you—" Rosa began before Morgan poured punch on top of her head, making her drop the mic.
She shrieked and quickly turned around to see the Outspoken Diva laughing.
"Are you kidding me!?" She shouted but got shoved back into the table, making her butt land on the cake.
The divas laugh at her, while Alicia decides to defend her friend, by throwing a hamburger at the Outspoken Diva. Unfortunately, it hits Natalya instead, making some laugh at her.
"Uh oh. This is not going to end well." Cole warned.
Rosa gets off the cake and tries to throw a couple of cookies at the Outspoken Diva but hits Cameron & Summer instead. Layla laughs but gets attacked by Summer while all the divas start fighting.
"And here we go!"
"Morgan had no business out here, whatsoever!" JBL shouted.
Morgan grabs a cookie sheet and whacks Rosa in the head with it, making her fall on the table of food. Her hair and body are covered in food and Morgan quickly grabs a sugar cookie and escapes the ring, watching the chaos in amusement. Rosa tries to escape the food fight with the divas but finds herself in the middle after she starts bumping into them, provoking them. The refs had to rush down the ring to break it up,
while the crowd cheers for The Outspoken Diva.
"What a Party crasher...the party didn't even get a chance to start!" JBL scolded.
"Morgan is laughing away at this." Cole chuckled while Rosa slipped out of the ring.
She starts freaking out and has a temper tantrum as Morgan's theme comes on.
The Philly Diva shrugged and took a bite of her cookie, giving Rosa a thumbs up. "Great party, Rosa! Great party!"
She glares at her and stands up. She marches after her but slips and falls on her butt from the food on her shoes, making the crowd laugh harder.
Morgan tweets 'LaRosaMendes Your party was lame, so I decided to spice things up. I think it turned out great!'
--------
Later in the ring, Dean throws Orton out of the ring. He starts slapping himself in the face, before going for a suicide dive.
"He's not all there, but he is still fun to watch." JBL looked on.
"Come on, Randy," Seth said on commentary.
Dean throws Orton into the barricade and rolls him in the ring. He starts walking around before turning his attention to Rollins. He runs over to the announce table and jumps on top of him as the crowd cheers.
"Ambrose taking out Rollins! And now the fight's on! The fight's on!" Cole shouted as he started pummeling Seth with punches.
He throws him into the barricade and gets back in the ring. He rolls Randy up for a two count. Orton strikes him with an uppercut as he leans back, in between the ropes, to give him a clothesline. Dean bangs on the mat and starts hitting himself, again.
"Seth was floored by Ambrose."
Dean goes for the Dirty Deeds by Orton counters with a scoop slam. The crowd boos as he tries to go for a DDT on the ropes, but Ambrose counters by tossing him over the top rope. Dean tries to go for another suicide dive, but this time Rollins hits him with his briefcase.
"Oh!" Cole and the crowd shout. "Rollins right to the bad shoulder, with the briefcase."
The crowd boos while Rollins rolls Ambrose in the ring. Orton drops Dean down with an RKO and Rollins rips off Dean's protective bandage on his shoulder.
"Ambrose is hurt, Ambrose is hurt," Cole looked on. "The injured shoulder exposed."
Orton gets on his knees and holds Dean down, targeting his injured shoulder.
"Oh no, look at this," JBL said as Seth got on the top rope.
The crowd cheers loudly once they see Roman & Morgan rush down the ramp.
"Hey! Roman Reigns! And Morgan!" Cole exclaimed.
Reigns pushes Rollins off the top rope, while Morgan slides into the ring and hits Orton with a shining wizard. Dean rolls out the ring, while Orton rolls over and gets back to his feet, rubbing his chin from the kick he received. Roman connects with the Superman punch as he gets hyped.
Morgan slides out of the ring to check on Dean, while Roman prepares for the spear. He does a loud battle cry but Seth pulls Orton out of the ring.
"And Seth Rollins..."
"Seth Rollins knows where he is," JBL added.
"...saving Orton. And for tonight, The Authority's Orton & Rollins escape the wrath of Roman Reigns, Morgan Lopez & Dean Ambrose. But these issues are far from over."
Roman's theme comes on as he stands tall. Roman gets out of the ring, to meet up with Morgan, helping up Dean.
"Somebody give me my case!" Seth shouted as Roman rolled Ambrose in the ring, while Morgan went after Seth's contract. "Somebody give me my contract! Morgan! Don't you dare!"
The crowd cheers once she gets in the ring, with the briefcase.
"What is she doing!? That's not even hers!" JBL exclaimed.
She decides to kick the briefcase out of the ring, like a football, making it fly all the way to the stage.
"Are you kidding me!?" Seth shouted and ran after it, making her laugh.
"She can't do that!" JBL shouted. "That's assault!"
"But she did it, anyway." Cole chuckled. "John, Orton & Seth Rollins may rue the day that they went after Reigns, Lopez, & Ambrose."
Dean gets up while Morgan & Roman look at Rollins and Orton on the stage.
Roman showed his fist. "Remember this? You gave up this...for that?" He said, meaning The Authority and briefcase.
"Disgraceful," Morgan shook her head, disappointed in Rollins.
-----------------
Melanie & Jon decided to spend their Fourth of July at Jane and Diego's house, in Philly. Jon and Jane were in the kitchen, working on bringing the plates, forks, knives, burger and hot dog buns, and bowls of food that Jane made, on the table, in the backyard.
"So, this is your first time barbecuing, dad?" Melanie was sitting in the backyard, on a chair with her right knee up to her chest as she held it.
"I—I've done this before." Diego stuttered and continued grilling.
"You sure?"
"It's been a while."
"How long we talking?"
"A few...month—years."
She widened her eyes. "Years!? What am I going to do with you?"
"You know Melly, you should be helping." Jane said as she set a bowl of grapes on the table.
"I am. I'm making sure dad doesn't burn those burgers."
"What about the hotdogs?" Jon asked, putting the burger and hotdog buns on the table.
"Could care less," Melanie replied.
"Damn, that's how you feel?" He smirked.
"Burgers are better."
"I beg to differ."
"No argument. Burgers all the way." Melanie reached for a grape but Jane slapped her hand. "Mom!"
"No grapes until you help out. You know what? I'm putting these all the way in the back of the fridge."
"Oh, come on! You don't have to do that." she tried to reach for the grapes again but Jane took it back inside.
Jon laughed. "Someone's not getting her little grapes."
The Philly Diva narrowed her eyes at him and stood up, taking his cap, and putting it on her head. "And someone's not getting the chance to cuddle tonight."
"Okay, I'm sorry." He followed her. "I said I'm sorry!"
"Cuddle? Aw! So adorable. I guess Jon is a big softie, isn't he?" Jane smiled.
"Yes. It's really cute." Melanie smiled.
"Why do you gotta embarrass me, in front of Jane?" he complained, feeling embarrassed.
"Priceless! He looks so embarrassed!" Leah laughed, walking in with a Fourth of July themed cake.
"Leah, you're here." Melanie grinned and hugged her after she set the cake down.
"How's the eye? Money in The Bank was crazy! Jon! Why the heck would you elbow her, you big jerk?" Leah teased.
"All part of doing spots," he replied. "Plus, my woman can take a hit when it comes to wrestling." He put an arm around Melanie's shoulders and kissed her on the cheek.
Melanie and Leah help out by setting up the table. After everything was done, everyone sat at the table to eat. Melanie took a cheeseburger, while Jon took two hotdogs. Leah decided to take four hotdogs and put mustard, ketchup, and relish on all of them. She then grabbed some pickles and put them on top of the hotdogs.
Leah grinned and looked at the mouth watering food, in her eyes. She looked up to see Melanie looking at her like she was crazy, while about to take a bite of her cheeseburger.
"What? This is good! You should try it. Want some? A friend got me into this. You know what? I think I should also put some cheese on these hotdogs." Leah took a few pieces of cheese. "Want one?"
"Uh, no thanks." Melanie chuckled. "You sure are eating a lot."
"I didn't eat breakfast. I'm starving!"
Jon and Melanie examined their food, catching Diego's attention.
"How is it?" Diego asked.
The Lunatic and Harley glanced at each other, before taking a bite of their food. They started chewing it and began to make nauseated facial reactions, while Melanie started coughing.
"Oh no! Are you two okay!?" Jane freaked out, while Jon began coughing. "You said you cooked them properly, honey!" She exclaimed to her husband.
"I did! I did!" Diego yelled in nervousness, while Leah watched the show, enjoying her weird hot dogs.
"They're choking! You're trying to kill them!"
"I am not! I made them, well. Mine are just fine!"
"Because you were trying to kill them, that's why!"
The couple stopped arguing at the sound of Jon & Melanie laughing.
"Fooled you!" Melanie chuckled.
"Mel! Don't scare me like that!" Jane exhaleed.
"That was good." Jon low fived his girlfriend.
"It tastes great, dad." Melanie smiled and begins eating again, along with Jon.
"I'm glad. See? I wasn't trying to kill my princess. She's just fine." Diego proudly praised himself.
"Sure...So, what's been going on in the WWE?" Jane asked, her daughter.
"Been having meetings with Creative lately about an upcoming feud. They're going to be ending my feud with Rosa, around SummerSlam. They have three feuds in mind for me. Two are very risky, but the other is strongly possible."
"What are the feuds?"
"Can't say. WWE doesn't want any leaks or spoilers. But if I get the okay to tell you, I will. And also, WWE wants you to come back soon, mom,"
"Ooh! I am so excited! I love the World Wrestling Entertainment. It's so fun."
"How's the bakery?"
"Popularity is growing so much, thanks to the continued support of you and the WWE."
After talking about the bakery, Melanie glanced at Leah, who poured an enormous amount of mustard, relish, and ketchup on her new hot dog.
It looked like the hot dog and drenched bun were drowning in the three condiments.
Leah reached for the can of whipped cream and prepared to put it on the hot dog.
"Whoa, Leah. Whipped cream on hot dogs? That's...concerning," Melanie felt her stomach turn from the sight.
"Huh? Oh, I wasn't going to put whipped cream on hot dogs. No, not at all." Leah nervously giggled. "I'm going to put it on the cake."
"Okay then,"
Maybe Leah was just really hungry.
-------
Early in the morning, Melanie slept peacefully, in the arms of her lunatic. She was happy to be home for just a little while before going back on the road. But her peaceful slumber was interrupted when she woke up to the sound of throwing up. She got out of Jon's arms and glanced at the clock.
"3..." She mumbled, before getting out of bed.
She stretched and adjusted her tank top, before heading out of the room. She walked down the hallway and saw a light in the bathroom.
"Hello?" she timidly knocked on the door.
"D—don't come in here!" Leah's muffled voice replied, instantly.
"Leah? Are you okay?"
"I'm doing great!"
"I'm coming in." She opened the door, seeing her flushing the toilet. "Were you throwing up?"
"Y—yeah. I got the flu..."
"Leah." Melanie crossed her arms and softly replied. "As much as I want to believe that after all that stuff you ate on those hot dogs, I don't. Don't lie to me."
Her friend started to break down and cried, wrapping her arms around her. "I messed up. This was not supposed to happen..."
"What?"
"I took three fucking pregnancy tests. And they all came back pregnant. I'm knocked up. I'm fucking knocked up and I'm so scared!"
Melanie was taken aback by her confession as she looked at the pregnancy tests on the floor. They both sat down on the floor, while Melanie examined the tests.
"Leah..."
"We used protection! I don't understand why this has to happen to me! I don't even know if Brad wants kids. I'm so scared to tell him,"
"Leah, things are going to be all right. Stay calm. Everything is going to be okay. I'm here for you," She put a soothing hand on her right shoulder.
As Melanie gave her a pep talk, Leah's nerves began to go down as she listened to her say the right things to get her to relax.
"Brad loves you to death. He always shows off that goofy grin when you're around. He's going to be happy that he's going to start a family with someone like you,"
"You're right...thank you." Leah smiled.
-------
Next week on Smackdown, Morgan was backstage, leaving the trainer's room. Her ribs were still a little banged up but she was getting better, day by day. Looking at the floor, she bumped into Rollins as the crowd booed. He showed off his briefcase, before smiling at the diva.
"Hello, Morgan."
"Rollins..." she tried to leave but he blocked her way.
"You've been avoiding me for a while. Why?"
"I haven't been avoiding you. Now if you excuse me..." She tried to go the other way but got blocked, again. "Move. Or be moved,"
"Did Ambrose tell you to stay away from me?" Rollins asks with a grin. "You're quiet...so I guess that's a yes. Guess he knows what I'm trying to do."
"What do you want...?" She asked, looking annoyed. She just wanted to leave. She did not want to be around him.
"I just want you to come home."
"Home?"
"Everyone is holding you back. Is this the singles career you want? Pointless matches? No championship? You deserve better."
"I told you I rather start at the bottom than go to The Authority. And The Authority isn't a home. Nor is your little dark side. I can never bring myself to be a sellout like you."
He chuckled for a couple of moments and placed his hands on her shoulders, looking into her eyes.
"You know I hate people who lie to themselves. I didn't sell out, I bought in. And you should, too. You're lost, Morgan. But you're going to find yourself again, really soon." He smirked and left her alone.
"More mind games by Rollins. Will Morgan be able to stay strong?" Cole asked as she leaned on the wall and sighed loudly.
--------
Next week on Raw, after finding out Ambrose was attacked by Rollins, Orton, and Kane out of nowhere backstage while cutting a promo on Reigns and Cena, Morgan ran to the trainer's room door.
"Where is he?!" She shouted but got held back by a few refs.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Morgan! Morgan! Calm down! Ambrose is okay. He went to a local hospital." They tried to explain.
She sighed loudly and started storming off to the men's locker room. She saw Seth nearby, along with Orton, and stomped over to them. She shoved the sellout back roughly as the crowd cheered loudly.
"Why!? Why would you do that!?" She shouted.
Orton was about to interfere but Seth stopped him, enjoying watching her break down.
"Getting mad, huh?" Seth grinned. "Good. Embrace it. I want the aggressive Morgan, back. I want my Morgan back."
"Oh, you're gonna get aggression...as much as I want to bash your head in, I'm not gonna do that. Dean will. And when Dean gets in the ring with you...I am going to enjoy him, pulverizing you, and making you regret all those chair shots that we all received. And I hope that he hurts you so badly...that you'll never think about selling out, ever again, you piece of crap." She stormed off, leaving Rollins watching her with a grin.
"You're cracking...not much longer..." Rollins murmured to himself.
With Roman and Cena in the men's locker room, Roman was seated, adjusting his gloves.
"Okay, so Ambrose is out," Cena stated. "Now it's just you and me against Kane, Orton, & Rollins. This was an obviously set up by The Authority, you get that right?" He asked while Roman remained silent. "Damn it, Roman, stand up!"
Roman stood up and faced off with him. "I understand that you wanna be WWE World Heavyweight champion, you should! But you have to trust me! Neither one of us is gonna walk out champion, this Sunday if we don't get on the same page, tonight." Cena exclaimed.
"Nobody knows the numbers game like me," Roman spoke up. "They took out one of us...by the end of the night, we take out three of them. Believe that."
The door burst open. "Do you two have your heads stuck up your asses?!" Morgan shouted as the crowd cheered, loudly.
"Now, Morgan we were—" Cena began.
"The hell is wrong with you two!? You just stood there and watched him get beat! Why didn't you go after him? Why didn't you help him?"
"We wouldn't have made it in time..." Cena managed to say.
"Do you know how long that beating was!? Do you!? You could have run backstage and helped him out! But no, you just stood in the ring. And I'm just finding this out, now? When it happened at the beginning of the show?!"
"Morgan, calm down," Roman reassured. "We got this. You know that I know the numbers game better than anyone."
"I know but I can't calm down. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of these beatings and two on one, and three on one assaults. They're not men, they're puppets. Brainwashed by The Authority. Driven by power. That is not me. And I'm not gonna become a victim of that. I don't know if this was a message, directly sent to me from Rollins, but I'm not having this. These assaults are gonna stop, tonight." She stated and bumped fists with Roman. "I'm standin' at ringside with you, two."
"Okay." Cena nodded. "But do you trust me?"
"Yes. You helped us out in that tag match with the Wyatts. I trust you. Just do me a favor and try not to get attacked. Stick together, tonight. You never know what The Authority is going to do next. Now, If you excuse me, I'm gonna eat some grapes to calm down..." She left as the crowd laughed.
Roman cracked an amused smile. Morgan and her love for grapes will never change.
-------
Morgan kept her word and stayed at ringside to check on Roman & Cena as they went up against Rollins, Kane, and Orton. Things really started to turn around when Roman got tagged in by the champ.
The crowd goes nuts while Roman drops Orton down with a clothesline and punches Kane off the apron. He drops Randy down with another clothesline and starts to get hyped up.
"What a right hand!" JBL said as he witnessed Randy getting punched in the face by the Samoan.
Orton gets positioned for Roman's signature apron dropkick as the crowd cheers. He slides out the ring and runs over to the fallen Viper, before connecting his right boot to his head. Roman high fives Morgan before sliding back into the ring. He taunts the crowd before punching the mat. Kane gets back in the ring but gets dropped by the Superman punch. Roman sidesteps Seth's flying knee attack and clotheslines him out the ring, at the end of the ramp.
"There goes Rollins," Cole said as he held his knee, in pain.
"Rollins hurt his leg," JBL said while Orton took advantage and beat down Roman.
Roman manages to drop the Viper down with a Samoan drop and prepares for the spear.
"Roman Reigns does this on Sunday, then he can walk out as WWE World Heavyweight champion."
Kane slides back in the ring and attacks him from behind while the ref tries to break it up. Orton joins in the assault by stomping on Reigns and the ref had no choice but to call for the bell. Cena manages to get
in the ring and tosses Kane outside the ring. Before Kane could get back in, Morgan manages to hit him with a low blow as the crowd cheers.
"Low blow by the Outspoken Diva!" King cheered.
Back in the ring, Cena goes at it with Orton while Roman rolls out of the ring. Cena tosses Orton over the apron and ducks Kane's punch, making him hit Orton instead as the crowd goes nuts. Cena starts going after Kane and picks him up for the AA. Kane manages to get back on his feet and shoves him away while Roman goes for the spear on Orton. Orton swiftly evades Roman's attack, making him hit Cena instead as the crowd 'Ohs!'
"He speared Cena!" Cole shouts.
"Not good." Morgan mumbles as she walks around the ring.
Kane drops Roman down with a punch and turns around to get hit with an RKO.
"That's your partner!" King exclaimed.
"Don't trust anybody!" Cole stated while Morgan tried to check on Cena, in the ring.
Randy's theme comes on as he gets on the top rope to taunt the crowd. He jumps off the top rope and turns his attention to the Outspoken Diva.
"Come on, she has nothing to do with this," King complained as Orton grabbed her from behind, by her hair, as his theme faded out.
"Ow! Get off, asshole!" She shouted as she tried to escape his strong grip.
He positions her on the apron, preparing for his signature apron DDT. No matter how much she tried to push him away, she could not escape his strong grip. As soon as he is about to drop her, Roman slides back into the ring, still angry that he got beaten down.
Orton releases her and turns around, only to get speared as the crowd gets hyped.
"Spear!" Cole shouted as Roman roared. "Is it Roman Reigns' time?" He wondered as his theme came on.
Morgan rubs the back of her neck while Roman helps her up.
"You all right?" He asked.
"Never better. Thanks." She said as she looked impressed.
He has changed a lot ever since The Shield went their separate ways. It looked like her boys were doing well in their singles careers. Although she wished she could say the same. But she was happy for her boys and their success.
"Will Roman Reigns win his first world championship?" Cole asked. "Who is gonna win, Sunday? Cena? Orton? Kane? Or Roman Reigns?"
-----------
On Smackdown, in Triple H's office, Seth was checking out his phone until Kane walked over to him.
"Kane. What's up, man?" Seth greeted. "Look I just uh...I kind of wanna get on the same page, here tonight. I mean I know what happened on Monday, and...I wouldn't really take what Orton did to you, personally. If it was about the WWE World Heavyweight championship, you gotta understand that. But tonight's different. Tonight is about Dean Ambrose."
"I don't need your voice of reason...I'll deal with Randy on my own. In fact, I hope that Orton's watching, tonight. Because I have plans for Dean Ambrose." Kane said, making Seth crack a smile.
"Good. Good, good, good, I like that. Just do me, one little favor, please. Just leave a little bit of life in him, so that I can finish the job at Battleground."
"Or...you could just be a man and face him yourself," Morgan spoke up as the crowd cheered. She walked in on them talking, as she shut the door. "Oh, that's right, you're scared. Anyway, do I have a match, tonight? Did the stupid Authority say anything about me?"
Seth and Kane turn their attention to the diva. Kane looked like he was about to grab her neck but Seth swiftly got in front of him, to stop him.
"Don't," Seth ordered in a stern tone and made him back up. "...touch her."
Now that... caused attention from the audience as the Outspoken Diva stared at Rollins' sudden behavior in surprise. Him defending him? Something was up.
Ignoring the fact that he just defended up, Morgan put her hands on her hips, taunting Kane. "Oh, I'm sorry, what were you gonna do? Chokeslam me? Still mad I low blowed you, on Raw? Aw, sorry to hear that. Maybe next time you'll know when to stay out of my way."
"What are you doing here?" Seth asked.
"I just asked if I have a match. And I'm not supposed to be talking to you, so answer my question, so I can leave."
"Yeah, in fact, you do have a match. Next. Get ready."
"Good." She turned around and opened the door but Seth grabbed her hand. She snatched her hand back and shook her head. "Don't touch me. Don't ever put your hands on me, again."
Rollins put his hands up in defense. "I just wanted to say watch your back, tonight."
"Why should I listen to you?"
"Because I want to help you. I still care about you, grapes."
"I told you not to call me that. I'm not trusting a word you say to me," she replied and left the room.
----------
"This match is set for one fall, introducing first, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Morgan!" Lilian announced.
"Here comes Morgan, out here to try to gain some momentum for her match against Rosa Mendes, this Sunday." Cole said.
As soon as she comes out, Morgan gets whacked from behind with a guitar, by Rosa as the crowd gets hype.
"Oh my gosh!" Cole shouted.
"What was that for? Sending a message?" JBL asked as Morgan's theme faded out.
"Just give up, already! Don't come to Battleground on Sunday, Morgan!" Rosa shouted.
She waits for her to get up and flattens her out with a swinging neckbreaker, as the crowd 'Ohs' at the impact.
"Morgan is out. That guitar shot was brutal." Cole cringed as the titantron showed the highlights again. "What is the meaning of this? This was not necessary!"
"Yes, it was! Rosa is making a statement! Don't mess with Rosa!" JBL replied.
Rosa grabbed a mic, as the crowd booed her. "Aw, Morgan, are you tired? Tired of me beating you down? Coming after you? I'm sorry. But I'm not going to stop. I don't like you, and I'm going to continue making your life a living hell unless you pack your bags, and leave. But since you want to act tough, it just made me even happier. Why?" She laughed. "Because I cannot wait for our match at Battleground. But there's been a little bit of a twist. You see, our match...is a last diva standing match."
"I cannot wait for this. I can't wait till Sunday." JBL said as the audience cheered loudly at the match idea.
"A last diva standing match?" Cole wondered.
"Yes, you heard right, WWE Universe. A last diva standing match. And if you win, you'll earn my respect. I won't bother you, anymore. I'll stay out of your way, just like you wanted. But if you lose...I want you to leave. Stay away from this company and stay out of my way, while I become the next Diva's champion. Ha ha! And Morgan, I cannot wait to see you...motionless...flat on your back while the ref begins to count."
She paused before counting in Spanish. "Uno...dos...tres...cuatro...cinco...seis... siete...ocho...nueve...diez." She laughed and dropped the mic as her theme came on.
"What a statement by the Latina. What is going to happen, Sunday?" Cole asked as a few refs rushed over to help Morgan, who was lying on her back, out cold.
"I don't know but as soon as Morgan recovers from this attack, all hell is gonna break loose," JBL guaranteed.
Later backstage, Seth jogged over to the trainer's room and found Morgan getting an ice pack on the back of her neck.
"Morgan, you all right? You see? I told you to watch your back. I was trying to help you." Seth explained.
As soon as the Sellout and Outspoken diva locked eyes, the doctor felt tension in the room and quickly left.
"I hate you...so damn much..." She muttered as she glared at him.
Seth grinned. "Oh, so now you hate me, huh? I doubt that."
"Just go away, all right? I don't want anything to do with you."
"And yet you truly haven't done anything to keep me away. I think you like having me around,"
"Seth..." she warned.
"All right, all right. I tried to be nice. Fine. I'll go. But I hope you get better and beat Rosa on Sunday," He presented her with a bag.
"What is that?" She raised a brow as she removed the ice pack off her neck.
She started to get suspicious of what was in the bag. But she saw Seth...smiling? Not smirking, or giving her a smug look, but a smile. Just like the smiles he would give her when they were a part of The Shield. Just like the good days.
Suddenly he placed a hand on her cheek as she gave him an incredulous look.
"I really hope you get better, Morgan. I knew Rosa was gonna attack you. So, I tried to warn you. Rest up." He suddenly kissed her forehead and left the room.
"Uh oh. Bold." JBL said as the crowd got invested at the turn of events.
"H—hey! You don't just kiss me and leave! Who the hell do you think you are!?" She exclaimed and sighed heavily. "...Battleground can't get here fast enough..."
As she opened the bag, she was surprised to see that it was freshly washed grapes. Eating a few, she shook her head as her eating something from the enemy caught the attention of the crowd.
"Grapes...what are you up to, Rollins?" she murmured.
"More mind games?" Cole wondered.
"Maybe Seth is really trying to be nice." JBL defended.
"I doubt that. Something is up. Maybe he's trying to earn her trust, back?"
------
During the Battleground PPV, backstage, Morgan was stretching for her match as she got a loud reaction from the crowd.
She was tired of going after Rosa. What will it take for her to back off? She had more important things to deal with, like being a champion. Rosa had become a nuisance ever since she beat her the first time. Morgan couldn't wait to get this match over with so she could leave her alone for good.
"I do not feel like having this pointless match..." Morgan mumbled to Dean. "It's like every time I beat her, she just keeps coming back. I got a feeling she likes getting her ass kicked."
"Have you been trying to stay away from Seth?" Dean asked out of the blue.
His obsession for revenge was strong. He always got even and tonight he will finally be able to get his hands on the Sell Out.
Morgan paused and smiled. "He isn't gonna get to me. Haven't talked to him." She embraced him, while the camera showed her looking worried. "Just focus on your match...not me. Please. I'll be fine."
"I'm glad." He cupped her face and kissed her forehead before leaving.
The camera continued to show her stretching until she heard chucking.
"Yes, he isn't gonna get to me. Haven't talked to him. Just focus on your match...not me. Please, I'll be fine." Seth repeated, making her roll her eyes. "Nice white lie, Morgan,"
"Go away.." She retorted and stopped stretching.
"The clock is ticking, Morgan. This version of you, this person that you're trying to be is going to expire, soon. There's always a dark side to every person. And I'm going to expose that. You're going to come back to me."
"These little crappy mind games you're doing isn't working. So, cut it out..."
"It is working. You know it's working. Morgan, it's OK to be selfish. To do things for yourself. The dark side of you is trying to crack open. I mean, you just lied to Ambrose, saying that you haven't spoken to me. What does that make you? You're coming back to me, Morgan," he smirked and walked away, leaving her upset.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, Mister Money in The Bank, Seth Rollins," Tom announced as Seth grinned and tapped on his briefcase. "Seth, I wanna get your thoughts tonight, before your match with Dean Ambrose."
"I'm smilin' Tom. You should smile, too. It's a historic night, my friend. Cause tonight is the night that I finally put the dagger in Dean Ambrose, and finish him off, once and for all. You see I dismantled The Shield, he's been like uh...like a little cockroach. You know what I'm talkin' about? Just like scurrying around, and then you try to stomp 'em out but you just can't seem to kill em. Tonight that little cockroach, Dean Ambrose, he gets squashed."
Tonight Seth was not messing around. He wanted to destroy Ambrose and take him out of the equation. Then all he had to do next was to become the new WWE World Heavyweight champion.
"And before I do that...I wanna take a second to answer the question that Ambrose so arrogantly posed to me, you know the one...right before I curb stomped his head into oblivion? The answer is no. No, that's not all I got. And Dean Ambrose knows me better than anybody, he knows what I am capable of. And tonight...he is gonna get everything that he bargained for out of me." Seth laughed. "And when I'm finished, with that babbling, out of control, lunatic, when I put him out of his own misery, you can bet, my eyes are gonna be glued to that Fatal Four Way championship match, because...Tom, you may very well be looking at the next WWE World—"
Seth immediately gets cut off by Ambrose, who ambushes him.
"What are you gonna do to me!?" Dean shouted as he continued pummeling down the Money in The Bank winner with punches.
"Hey! Hey! Common! Dean!" Referees and security rushed over to the two and tried to break up the brawl.
"What are you gonna do!?" Dean continued to shout as he grabbed Seth by the hair and tossed him into some work equipment.
"Hey! Hey! Get off of him!" Security shouted as they tried to get a hold of the lunatic, who was all over him.
Dean finally gets restrained, after pushing down a lamp, nearly hitting Seth, while an irate Triple H marches over to the chaos.
"What are you gonna do to me, Seth!?" Dean shouted. "What are you gonna do!?"
"Get him out of here!" Triple H ordered. "Get him out of my building! Get this piece of crap out of my building! You are not gonna screw this up! Get him out of here! I don't wanna see him back in here, either! Get him out!"
Dean gets taken away while Triple H walks over to Seth, who manages to get back up to his feet.
"What the hell was that!?" Seth angrily shouted.
"I mean, I mean, wha—what just happened?" Cole asked. "Triple H just threw Dean Ambrose out of the building?"
"And demanded them to not let him back in," King added.
"The guy's unsafe," JBL commented in a blunt tone.
"Come on, you can't do that."
"I agree with Triple H. Do what's right for the company."
"Of course you do..." King rolled his eyes.
"The question is, what did Dean Ambrose do, though? He attacked Rollins, they were supposed to have a match, coming up, right now. And Triple H has kicked him out of the building. I mean Ambrose has been waiting weeks and weeks for this." Cole recalled.
"And Ambrose's stupid own self, cause himself to not have this match, right now." JBL dissed. "We can blame Dean Ambrose right now because we apparently don't have a match."
"I mean, everything that Dean Ambrose has been put through by Seth Rollins & The Authority for the past couple of weeks...remember last Monday night on Raw—" Cole got cut off.
"And he couldn't wait a few more minutes?!" JBL exclaimed.
"No! No! Triple H is overreacting, what's the difference if the match starts back there, or starts up here?" King pointed out. "They are supposed to fight, anyway."
"Exactly." Cole agreed.
"Because in here it's certified, you have a referee, you have a match, that was not a match." JBL said. "It's a lunatic out of control. Let's just hope his girlfriend doesn't lose her mind tonight, either. Bad enough we got one crazed person out of control tonight. But with two, all hell will break loose."
----------
After AJ's match against Paige, the titantron shows the backstage area. The crowd gave Rosa loud boos as she sat getting her hair & makeup done.
"I cannot wait until my match. Beating Morgan is going to be such an accomplishment. I mean, I beat her before, but this time she'll be gone. Away from the WWE. Ugh, it's such a dream come true. I mean Morgan is bipolar...friggin' crazy...she needs help. Professional help." Rosa ranted.
The reception of the crowd turned positive when they saw the Outspoken Diva walking towards her, from behind. She wore her wrestling skinny jeans, and Morgan themed crop top with a denim jacket, instead of her hoodie, revealing her new attire. Her hair was getting longer again as well. It was almost near the middle of her back again, as it was in a loose and curly hairstyle.
Rosa's foe gently tapped on the makeup artist's shoulder and politely asked her to leave, which she happily obeyed.
"Uh oh," Cole mumbled while Morgan opened up some blush.
"I mean, I don't get why everyone likes her. She sucks at wrestling. She has no personality. She acts like a wannabe Harley Quinn hey what are you doing?" Rosa brushed the blush off her arms and got out of the chair.
She turned around to witness the Outspoken Diva behind her the whole time, sprinkling blush on top of her head.
"Hey! Are you kidding me!?" She picked up the chair, she was sitting in, and threw it across the hallway, near Morgan, but she moved out of the way.
Morgan punches her in the face and spears her onto the make up table as the crowd cheers.
"Someone get help! Morgan what are you doing!? You have a match tonight!" JBL shouted while Rosa screamed.
The Outspoken Diva starts throwing Rosa's head up and down on the make up table before getting grabbed by a small army of referees and security.
"Hey! Hey! Morgan! Get off her!" The security guards shouted.
"Get her away from me! You're crazy!" Rosa screamed.
"Get off of me!" Morgan shouted as she got taken away.
"Control yourself!" A referee shouted back, trying to calm her down.
Triple H jogs up to Rosa and helps her up. "The hell happened?" He asks.
"Morgan happened! I hate her! I do not want to be in the same ring as her tonight. Call the match off! Do something! She's out of control and isn't ring ready for me." Rosa grabbed him by his jacket.
"Rosa, I got it." He reassured.
"No! I want something done, now! She has to GO! NOW!"
"Relax," he said in a calm tone.
"I can't believe this...Morgan had no right to do that. The woman was just getting her hair and make up done!" JBL criticized.
"I would always watch my back if you have Morgan on your bad side. Rosa should have seen that coming." King recalled.
Later on with Morgan, she stood backstage, trying to take some of the make up off her jacket.
"Quite the brawl you got into back there." Seth walked up to her.
"Ah. Quite the head you got there," she replied.
"I am the genius and creator of The Shield, after all." He boasted.
"No," she replied in a blunt tone, stopping what she was doing as she turned to face him. "You see if your head wasn't shoved so far up Triple H's ass, you'd see how much of a sellout you are. Oh, by the way, watch your back. Dean could be anywhere. He could be watching us, right now."
"Watching?" Seth looked confused.
"I mean, you didn't actually think I would lie to Dean, did you? All part of the plan," She patted his back, while chucking, before walking away, leaving Seth looking around, backstage, worried for his well being.
"Did Rollins just get outsmarted?" Cole asked as the crowd cheered loudly. "It seems like all those worried looks Morgan would give Ambrose was just an act to fool The Authority. It seemed to have worked,"
"I knew Ambrose & Morgan were up to something. I'm glad she really didn't lie to Dean." King praised.
"Great...this is just perfect...more chaos tonight, I can already feel it," JBL grumbled.
--------------
'WWE Exclusive Video'
Morgan was leaning on the wall, on her phone. She looked up and watched Triple H walk backstage, heading to his office while Rollins headed out to the ring. Looking around to see if the coast was clear, she opened the storage closet, to reveal Dean.
"He's headed to the ring." She grabbed his hand and led him to the gorilla.
A nearby referee witnessed Ambrose and Morgan, together. He was about to go tell The Authority, but Morgan grabbed him by the back of his shirt, giving him a threatening look.
She said in a low, threatening voice, "Don't do that." while shaking her head.
The referee nodded quickly and walked away, looking scared.
She exhaled. "This is the best I can do. Punch him in the face for me, okay?"
Dean smirked and nodded. "Gladly. You didn't have to do this."
She grinned and shrugged. "Hey, Harley always got a plan. All right, I gotta go. Good luck out there." She turned around but he grabbed her hand.
She turned back around to face him, wondering what else he wanted. He wrapped an arm around her waist, gazing into her fierce eyes before he met her lips with his. Even though he was still mad at Rollins, his kiss was surprisingly tender and passionate. Morgan, surprised at the sudden kiss, began to kiss back, wrapping her arms around his neck. She got backed up into the wall, while Dean smirked into the kiss, not surprised at tasting her grape flavored ChapStick.
They heard Justin announcing Seth Rollins, as the crowd booed. As much as Dean didn't want to stop, he released her. Morgan, catching her breath from the heated kiss she had just received, ran a hand through her hair.
"Thanks, baby." He smiled. "I appreciate you doing this for me."
"No problem. Kick ass out there."
She received a wink from her boyfriend, before leaving him to his dirty deeds.
-----------
After the Intercontinental championship battle royal, Rosa got in the ring, as the crowd gave her boos.
"I guess you're waiting for Morgan to kick my butt, tonight, right?" She asked as the crowd cheered in response. "Well, too bad! She's not going to face me, tonight! The match is off! I will not be in the ring with a crazed woman. She needs to get her act together. I mean, I could get injured by her. And none of you want me injured, right?"
She scowled as soon as the crowd chanted 'Yes!' and shook her head.
"How dare you!?" She got out of the ring and jumped over the barricade. "You! Who is your favorite WWE Diva?" She asked a male audience member, in his early 30s.
"AJ!" He shouted with excitement as the fans cheered and high fived him.
She scoffed "You're not a real WWE Diva fan. What about you grandma?" She asked a nearby elderly woman.
"I love Naomi." She replied with a sweet smile.
Rosa sighed. "What about you, tattoo artist?" she looked at a woman, covered in tattoos, in disgust. She looked to be in her early 20s, and had a Morgan themed tank top, on.
"Morgan all the way." The woman smirked.
She rolled her eyes. "Typical..." She continued to walk around. "Who is your favorite WWE Diva?"
"Eva!" A man shouted, earning some boos and laughs from the crowd.
"Are you joking? You would pick Eva instead of me? Ugh...And what about you, ladies?"
"The Bella Twins!" A group of teen girls shout with excitement, before waving at the camera.
Rosa rolled her eyes again and continued to walk around. This was ridiculous. She didn't find one fan yet. She might as well ask the kids.
"What about you little girl? Don't you love a role model, like me?" She kneeled to the eight year old girl.
"Is she serious, right now?" King asked with amusement as Cole laughed.
The little girl shyly smiled and timidly said, "M—Morgan is my favorite WWE Diva. She's so awesome and nice and bubbly and pretty and she looks so cute with Dean."
The crowd cheered again, while Rosa stood up and glared at her.
"You haven't raised your child, right." She dissed her parents, as some nearby audience members 'Oohed!'
"Oh come on, Rosa." King called out.
"Hey! She's right. Rosa is a great WWE Diva." JBL defended.
"Let's see if the parents were raised right. Who is your favorite WWE Diva?"
"Natalya." The mother, in her late 40s, replied with a grin.
"Oh, real cute," Rosa replied in a harsh tone. "And what about you, pops?"
The husband stood up and said, "Paige!"
"Ugh! Is there anyone who isn't stupid? Is there anyone who has me as their favorite diva!?" Rosa shouted. "All of you have no taste!"
The crowd cheered loudly when they saw Morgan running her way, through the crowd.
"Uh oh! Watch your back, Rosa!" Cole warned.
"Oh, this is gonna be good!" King looked on with anticipation.
"What about you, college boys?" Rosa went over to a group of guys in their early 20s and sat on one of their laps. "Don't you love a diva who is all woman?" She played with his short black hair.
"Yo! She's sitting on your lap, bro!" The second college boy exclaimed.
The first college boy was grinning like an idiot, having Rosa on his lap. The third and fourth started taking videos of their friend with Rosa.
"So who's your favorite diva?" Rosa smiled in a flirty way and caressed his face.
"Uh..." The first college boy nervously chuckled.
"Don't be shy. Tell the truth." She added in a sultry voice. The college boy glanced at his friends, still enjoying having Rosa on his lap. "Tell everyone who you think is the hottest WWE Diva. Who you fantasize about. Who you adore and cheer for every week."
"Morgan." He replied proudly.
The crowd erupted in loud cheers while Rosa's smile dropped into a frown.
"Damn!" The college boy's friends yelled.
"Tonight is not Rosa's night, is it?" Cole chuckled as Rosa got off his lap.
Meanwhile, Morgan was hugging and taking a picture with the little girl and woman with the tattoos, thanking them for their support.
"Are you kidding me!?" Rosa shouted. "All of you stupid people would pick Morgan, instead of me!? All the other divas, instead of me!?"
The crowd cheered loudly when Morgan finally reached Rosa.
She turns her around and snatches the microphone from her.
"Hey!" Rosa shouted before getting hit in the head with the microphone.
"Pipebomb!" The college boys shout.
"Here we go!" Cole shouted while Morgan started unloading on Rosa. They leaned up against the barricade before she tossed Rosa over it. "Looks like they're picking up where they left off, earlier tonight!"
Before Morgan jumps over the barricade, she heads over to the college boy, smiling and kissing him on the cheek.
"I love you." he grinned.
"Aw. Love you, too." Morgan beamed and took a quick photo with him.
"Will you marry me?"
"You're too cute." She giggled, while he high fived his friends.
She turns her attention back to the thorn in her side and jumps over the barricade. Rosa ambushes her and they both tumble down as Rosa strikes her with punches. She starts screaming as soon as Morgan gets on top, and viciously strikes her in the face, several times.
"Ladies, break it up!" Referees and security shout as they start to separate the two.
Morgan gets restrained by the referees as they wrap their arms around her waist, while the crowd boos. Rosa manages to get some free shots by kicking Morgan, wherever she can.
"This is brutal! These two hate each other!" King exclaimed as Morgan started to get taken up the ramp.
"Get her out of here! Get her out of here! You crazy bitch! You piece of trash!" Rosa started kicking and screaming.
As soon as both divas, manage to get up to the stage, Morgan escapes the referees and leaps on top of Rosa, and a few security guards, making them all fall down.
"I knew she wasn't gonna let her off the hook, so easily!" King exclaimed as the two divas started rolling down the ramp while trying to strike each other.
Morgan stands up and tosses Rosa into the barricade. Rosa yells out in pain and rubs her back, before getting grabbed by her hair as she gets thrown into a ring post.
"All the frustration, the mind games, the smart remarks, all the attacks, everything that Rosa has done to Morgan all these months, is getting shown right here," Cole looked on as the referees and security desperately tried to pull Morgan off of her.
The spitfire finally gets pulled off of Rosa, by the guards. Rosa scrambles into the ring, with Morgan high on her tail.
"Well, Morgan still wants her match," Cole added, as the Outspoken Diva tried to get in the ring, but got arms wrapped around her waist, by security guards.
"Get the hell off of me!" The Philly Diva screamed and punched a security guard in the face, as the crowd cheered loudly, not expecting her to strike one of them.
The security guard, was Jamie Noble, as he stumbled back and rubbed his jaw.
"Morgan! Morgan! Calm down!" Joey Mercury, another security guard, shouted as he grabbed her by the waist.
He lifts her up in the air, a little, and takes a few steps back, trying to take her backstage.
"I said get off!" she screamed in anger and elbowed him in his head.
She turns around and kicks him in the stomach, before throwing elbows and punches. Joey desperately tries to keep her under control, by trying to grab her arms, but fails. King screams in a high pitched voice, as The Outspoken Diva starts beating up the security guards, with punches, elbows, and kicks, to pry them off her.
"She just punched a security guard! Arrest her! She's assaulting referees and security guards! She's crazy! She's insane! Arrest her!" JBL shouted.
The crowd was loving it. It's not every day you see a WWE Superstar, or diva, for that matter, attack referees and security guards.
"Would somebody take this spitfire out of the building!?" JBL continued to complain.
"Get her out of here!" Fit Finlay shouted as he managed to grab Morgan from behind, while other security guards grabbed her arms and legs.
"What will it take to calm this woman down!? Get her out of here!" JBL shouted.
Rosa, who was still in the ring, recovering from the assault, watches Morgan get restrained.
"You're crazy!" Rosa screamed.
"I'll show you crazy!" Morgan screamed back as she managed to free her legs and an arm.
She kneed Fit Finlay in the stomach, before running to the ring, again.
"Oh my God, she is just like her boyfriend! They're both nutcases!" JBL exclaimed while holding his head in annoyance.
Rosa scrambles out of the ring, as soon as Morgan gets in. Hair all in her face, and seething, Morgan stands up and starts pacing around. The referees and security manage to prevent her from leaving the ring, to help Rosa get out of harm's way.
"This is insane!" Cole exclaimed.
Triple H stormed down the ring, with an irate expression. "What the hell are you doing!?" he shouted at the referees and security. "Get her out of here! Get her out of here!"
"Thank you! About time! Do something, Triple H!" JBL cheered.
Triple H roughly takes off his jacket, and loosens his tie, before taking it off and unbuttons the first three buttons of his shirt.
"You are not gonna ruin this for me!" He tried to get in the ring but the security intervened and held him back.
"Good grief!" King shouted.
"Get her, Triple H! Get her!" JBL cheered.
"What are you gonna do?! What are you gonna do!?" Morgan yelled, taking off her denim jacket as she put her arms out, waiting to see what the COO was going to do. "What are you gonna do, huh!?"
'This is Awesome!' chants began to occur as Melanie fought the smile that was trying to come across her face, getting to have this moment with Triple H. As she continued to hear him shout in character, she quickly bounced back and maintained an angry expression.
"I'm sick of this crap! I'm sick of it!" Triple H continued to shout.
"Do something! Do something!" she shouted back.
"The heck is she thinking!?" JBL exclaimed. "She's gonna get fired! She's out of here for sure! Fire her! Fire her, Triple H! This is too much chaos in one night! First Ambrose, now Morgan!? This is ridiculous! Fire her! Fire her, now!"
"Would you shut up!? Rosa had this coming. And everyone knows how wild Morgan can get when she's angry." King snapped.
After a minute of getting retrained, Triple H punches the security guards away from him, and gets in the ring, as the crowd cheers loudly.
"Oh boy," King said, in a worried tone.
Morgan looks enraged as she locks eyes with the COO. Her facial expression showed a scowl. Meanwhile, Triple H's face was red with rage as she witnessed a vein popping out of his neck.
"Uh oh! Uh oh! What is Triple H about to do!?" Cole shouted.
"Let's get ready to rumble~!" JBL laughed. "Morgan has really done it now."
"Morgan didn't do anything wrong. Let her fight!" King retorted as security and referees separated the COO and Outspoken Diva.
The crowd was cheering in anticipation, feeling a fight.
"Morgan! Calm down!" Referees shouted as she was backed up into a corner, while The COO was getting backed up in the corner, across from her.
"All right. All right. I'm fine. I'm fine." Morgan put her hands up in defense.
"You are gonna get it! I'm so friggin' tired of your crap! I am so friggin' tired!" Triple H yelled.
Suddenly, she jumps over the referees as she nearly gets across the ring, but they manage to hold her back.
"I am afraid of what's gonna happen," Cole said.
"Hunter! Hunter! Let's go! Out of the ring!" Security shouted as the crowd booed loudly.
The COO gets escorted out of the ring, where he meets up with Rosa.
"Darn it..." King frowned.
Morgan looks at the crowd. She wasn't going to let them be unhappy. She quickly runs up to the corner, facing the ramp, and gets on the top rope. Referees rush up to her, trying to convince her to get down.
"What is she doing, now!?" JBL exclaimed. "Get her down!"
"Oh boy! Look out!" King shouted in a high pitched voice as they witnessed Morgan perform a crossbody on Triple H, Rosa, and the security.
The crowd was cheering like crazy as she went after the COO, unloading on him with elbows, and punches. Anything to get some hits.
"What is she doing!? You can't put your hands on the COO of this company! Arrest her!" JBL yelled.
Loud 'Holy shit' chants surround the arena while Morgan starts kicking and screaming as she gets restrained by the referees.
"Morgan is fighting everybody!" Cole shouted.
"I am going to kill you! You are finished! Done!" Triple H managed to get back on his feet and grabbed her by the hair, despite getting pulled back by security.
Celeste tweets 'HOLY CRAP! WWEMorgan101 has gone CRAZY! I love it! #MorganOnTheLoose'
"Who do you think you are!? I am the COO of this company! I created you in this business! And I will take you out! You think you can do this to me!?" The COO was seeing red and he put his hands on her neck.
Morgan, manages to grab a hold of his wrists, trying to get his hands off her neck.
"Stop! Stop!" Referees and security guards shouted. "Get off of her! Enough! That's enough!"
"Get your damn hands off of me!" she managed to give him a kick in the balls as King yelled again in a high pitched voice.
"She just low blowed the boss!" Cole shouted.
"She is going to get so many consequences from this..." JBL guaranteed.
"Morgan! That's enough!" Security shouted.
Celeste tweets 'Why bother breaking it up? All hell has gone loose!'
"Get her out of here! Get that crazy homicidal bitch out of here!" Rosa shouted.
Morgan gets backed up by security and referees near the commentating table.
"Morgan! Do you think before you do things!? You're gonna get fired over this!" JBL shouted.
Morgan snapped her head towards JBL and stormed up to him, gripping him by the jacket. "I don't care!" she screamed in his face.
King laughs as she shoves him back into his chair. She searches under the ring and grabs a chair.
"All right, I'm calling 911, now." JBL took out his phone.
"You deserved that, John," King said with amusement.
As soon as the Outspoken Diva takes out the chair, the referees and security get defensive.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Morgan! Put the chair down! Put it down! Enough!" They shouted as the crowd cheered her on.
The spitfire starts pacing back and forth before slamming the chair on top of the announce table while screaming.
"Somebody calm her down!" JBL yelled.
"You do it since you want to so bad," King replied.
Morgan throws the chair away and goes right after Rosa again, who was trying to help Triple H up.
"Watch your back!" Cole warned as Morgan grabbed Rosa from behind and laid her out with the Morganizer.
The crowd booed once security managed to pick The Outspoken Diva up and begin taking her to the back as her theme came on.
"Morgan just made a statement!" Cole shouted.
"A dumb one. It's a ticket to unemployment." JBL criticized. "Can't believe she attacked me."
"You shouldn't have been running your mouth." King retorted as Triple H struggled to get up while gritting his teeth, in pain.
"Come on. We need to get you checked out." A referee helped him out.
"Get off of me! Get off!" The COO shoved him away. "I want Morgan. Now." He ordered.
"That's not a good idea—"
"FIND HER!"
-------
On Raw, Melanie was backstage, watching RAW with April and Celeste, who came to visit.
"I cannot believe you went at it with Triple H," Celeste said in amazement.
"That was friggin' awesome. You two going to have a singles match against each other in the future?" April asked.
Melanie grinned. "Fingers crossed. I'd love to face him. Call it a taste of what could happen in the future if the demand is high enough,"
Later as she and April head to catering, they see a big bowl of grapes just for Melanie, as it had the name 'Morgan' on it.
"Time for grapes!" Melanie immediately attacked the bowl.
"Hey! I want some!" April tried to grab some but the Philly Diva blocked her way.
"Aye! Aye! I'm trying to eat my grapes, here. Give me some privacy. Get your own!"
"You can't share? Give me some!" April managed to snatch some from her hand and shoved them in her mouth.
"April! Those are mine! There's another grape bowl over there for everyone else!"
"Haha! Nope!" she teased and grabbed the nicely sealed grape bowl, running away with it.
"Hey! Come back here!" Melanie ran after her.
"Hey dudes, grapes, hide em. Beware of the grape monster. Bye!" April dashed away after giving Jon a bowl of grapes.
"What the—oh no way, you take it." Jon gave Colby the bowl of grapes.
"Hell no, man. I don't want to get speared." Colby gave it to Joe.
"Just because I do spears, doesn't mean I want to get hit by one." Joe gave it back to Colby.
They started passing around the grape bowl like a hot potato, not looking forward to dealing with Melanie's wrath. Melanie always got defensive about her grapes. She was very passionate about them in catering.
"Hey, Heath! Here you want some grapes?" Colby gave Heath the bowl.
"Thanks, man." Heath walked off with the bowl as he sighed out of relief.
"Oh my God! You killed Heath!" Jon exclaimed.
"You bastard!" Joe punched Colby in the arm.
"He'll live...barley." Colby laughed.
The Outspoken Diva walked around backstage. She asked whoever she could find where April would be at. She wanted her grapes back. And she will get her grapes back. She always gets her grapes back.
------
"Hey, look what I got? These grapes are good. Haven't had them in a while." Heath started popping them in his mouth.
"Where'd you get them?" Nic asked, getting off of his Twitter account.
"Colby and the guys gave them to me."
Nic looked alarmed. "Wait. Dude, those are MELANIE'S grapes!"
"Oh shit!" Heath quickly left the table and dashed to the men's locker room.
"Aye! Don't leave them with me! I don't want to get attacked!" Nic helplessly looked at the bowl. He saw Jon and quickly put it in his hands. "See ya, bye!"
"Hey! I don't want this!" Jon called out but Nic quickly ran away.
"Where are my grapes!?" Jon heard Melanie's demanding voice, nearby.
Being so alarmed by her voice, he almost dropped the bowl but managed to catch it. He mentally thanked his reflexes as he ran around backstage to find April, and saw her hanging out with Celeste and Ettore.
"You started this. You end it." Jon handed the bowl back to April.
"Oh, come on!" April whined.
"Hey!" Melanie shouted across the hallway and started running after the four of them.
"Ah!" April shrieked and set the bowl down on a table while running away with everyone else.
"Are you guys serious?" She checked on her grape bowl. She turns around, only to get smacked in the face by grape pie.
"Smack cam!" A goofy laugh filled Melanie's ears.
The pie felt cold like it had been in the refrigerator. She removed the pan from her face and slowly wiped the pie off her eyes, and mouth.
"Damn! I got you, good!" Colby laughed.
Melanie laughed with him while he playfully punched her shoulder. All of a sudden, she ceased her laugh and frowned at him.
"Oh shit " He tried to run away but The Outspoken diva jumped on his back, making him fall down on his chest, leaving him in her wrath.
Meanwhile, Celeste, Jon, Joe, April, Heath, Nic, and Ettore came back and laughed at Colby, who was getting beat up.
"Why are you laughing? You guys are next!" She got up and ran after them, laughing to herself as she heard them scream and yell for help.
-----------
Later, as soon as they showed Stephanie getting arrested on TV, Morgan tweeted, 'Stephanie is a #SmoothCriminal. This is an awesome night. Still laughing.'
Dean walks out to the ring, as the crowd gets him a loud pop.
"The wild one. Last night, Dean Ambrose and Morgan Lopez went crazy. Dean Ambrose, not one, not two, but three brawls Seth Rollins last night. Triple H called Ambrose unfinished business. So, he's putting Cesaro in Ambrose's way." Cole said.
"Unfortunately tonight, Morgan has been suspended without pay, until this Friday for Smackdown. The Authority has also ordered that Morgan will be in a handicap match." He informed.
"This is ridiculous! She doesn't deserve this!" King exclaimed.
"Oh yeah? Tell that to the COO. She deserves it. She shouldn't have put her hands on him!" JBL defended. "Last night, Morgan got into two brawls with Rosa and got physical with the COO of the company. Another thing, she helped Dean Ambrose get back in the building last night! She has every right to get suspended. Some WWE Diva she is...And I really think Triple H should have given her a more extreme punishment. Like firing her. Suspending her longer. Giving her a fine. Something else."
"You're just mad because she put her hands on you." King retorted.
Dean loses his match via DQ after hitting Cesaro with a steel chair. He starts throwing chairs into the ring but Cesaro rolls out the ring.
"Is that all you got?" Ambrose's eyes widened.
He sets a chair down and sits on it backward.
Morgan tweets 'My sexy #LeatherJacketBadass is taking charge tonight. Look out WWERollins. And remember, watch your back!'
Later backstage, Rosa was with Renee Young for an interview.
"Ladies and gentlemen—" Renee got cut off by Rosa who snatched the microphone from her.
"Hi, Renee. You're friends with Morgan, right?" she smiled.
"I am but what does that—"
"I wonder how far Morgan will go to save her friends," she smirked and walked away, leaving Renee speechless.
"I don't like that smirk. I have a feeling Rosa is going to do something in the near future." Cole said with concern.
"I hope not..." King replied.
Morgan tweets 'LaRosaMendes DON'T go after my friends. ESPECIALLY ReneeYoungWWE. She has nothing to do with this. Don't put her in our business. Leave her alone.'
'Backstage pass'
"Dean, your DQ tonight over Cesaro, was that Dean Ambrose sending a message, to Seth Rollins?" Eden asked.
"Hey, it's just me doing what I gotta do to survive around here. That's just me getting a clean victory. That counts as a clean victory, right?" he asked. "Cause like, if Seth Rollins gets a forfeit win, over a guy that's not even in the building, at Battleground, then how come that doesn't count, as a win, huh? Same thing, right? Okay, I'm sorry, I'm complaining. I'm making trouble. I'm being irresponsible. I apologize. I apologize, everybody. Here's what I wanna know. How is Stephanie McMahon? Has anybody heard from Stephanie McMahon? She in jail, tonight?"
"Stephanie." He looked at the camera. "Stephanie, I have a message for ya, I hope you can hear me. I'm gonna try to get a hold of you, tonight and get you some phone numbers, of some guys that I know that gotten me out of similar situations, that you're in tonight. The names are Sneaky Pete, and Fat Tony the good guy, they're...they're good at what they do guys, and they helped Morg and I out in the past before. Although Morgan was much luckier, but anyway, I want you to know somethin' all right? If any of those big burley women in jail, tonight, try to mess with you or try to push you, you stand up to them, okay? Because you're a McMahon, all right? Stay strong Stephanie, we're all prayin' for ya."
Morgan tweets 'LMAO! Sneaky Pete...Yep, they helped me out a lot back then. Bar fights...Glad I was lucky. #LuckyCharm # StephanieTheJailBird'
-----------
Once Smackdown came along, Morgan was in the ring, getting ready for her match.
"As you can see, Morgan is getting set for her four on one handicap match. I have to admit, this is unfair. I feel like Triple H should have done something else, instead of this punishment match." Cole said.
"He did the right thing. She needs this. She needs this beating so she can get her act together. She isn't going to be off the hook for putting her hands on her boss." JBL criticized.
Morgan glances at the divas in the ring. Summer Rae, Eva, Alicia, And Cameron. She is in no mood for this match as she crosses her arms, leaning on the turnbuckle.
'Ding Ding Ding'
"And here we go wait a minute!" Cole shouted as Rosa slid into the ring and attacked Morgan from behind. "This was a setup!"
The crowd boos as Rosa takes off her heels and starts beating Morgan down with them.
"She deserves this beating. She asked for this." JBL replied as the Philly Diva got ambushed by the divas.
Cameron grabs Morgan by the hair but gets punched in the face.
"She's fighting back!" Cole said as the crowd cheered.
She starts to hold her own as she punches every diva away from her. But Summer and Eva get a hold of her arms, giving Cameron and Alicia the advantage to kick her in the stomach. Morgan falls down on her knees, while Alicia prepares for the scissors kick.
"What a shot by Alicia!" Cole exclaimed.
"Pick her up, again!" Rosa ordered as the divas lay her out with their signature moves.
"Morgan is helpless," Cole said as Rosa grabbed a chair and set it in the middle of the ring.
She grabbed Morgan by her hair and gave her a dirty look. "WHEN are you going to LEARN to stay down and know your place around here? This isn't 2013! The Shield is no more! You're irrelevant to this company! You're nothing without The Shield! Just give up! And I promise, if you continue to stay here, we are going to make your life a living hell." She shoved her away.
Morgan felt groggy as she slowly started to get up to her feet with the support of the chair. The crowd 'Ohs' as soon as Rosa hits her with a swinging neckbreaker on the chair. Then, Eva gives her a microphone.
"1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10." She laughed and taunted the crowd with the divas as her theme came on.
Morgan rubs the back of her neck and glares at Rosa, as she exits the ring.
"Rosa has made a statement. But I don't Morgan is going to give up so easily," Cole said as she got from a referee in the ring.

Forced To Believe Chapter 71- Closing The Chapter

Chapter Summary: Rosa's words begin to get to Morgan. Morgan has one final match with Rosa at SummerSlam, ending the feud once and for all.
Words: 9.000+
------
On Raw, Rosa went up against Emma for a match.
"Here we are, getting set for some diva action. Rosa and Emma." Cole observed as the ref signaled for the bell. "And here we have Natalya at ringside, as our guest ring announcer. She did a great job announcing these two talented divas."
Rosa and Emma's match starts with Emma in control. But things turn around once Rosa manages to move out of the way before Emma can hit her with a running crossbody in the corner.
"Good grief! What a bump." King said with worry.
Rosa grabs Emma by the hair and lays her out with the swinging neckbreaker. She is about to go for the pin but decides to take a page out of Morgan's book and hit Emma with the Morganizer.
"Haha! That was brilliant!" JBL praised while the crowd booed.
"Taking someone's finisher. Rosa is starting to really provoke Morgan with these mind games." Cole says.
"1!"
"2!"
"3!"
"And Rosa dominates," Cole announced.
"Here is your winner, Rosa Mendes!" Natalya announced with a frown.
Rosa glances at Natalya and rolls out the ring. She steps up to her and snatches the microphone out her hands.
"Close...but not really. You forgot one thing...that I am going to beat Morgan Lopez and become the next diva's champion afterward. Now, announce me like that." She ordered.
Nattie didn't like the tone of Rosa's voice and gave her a dirty look.
"Say it!" Rosa shoved her.
"Uh oh!" Cole exclaimed when Nattie slapped her in the face. "Natalya with the slap to Rosa!"
"You don't talk to me like that." The Queen of Harts spat and started walking away.
Fed up, Rosa snatches her hair from behind and tosses her into the barricade.
"Oh come on!" King exclaimed as she started unloading on Natalya.
"You don't ever do that to me!" She shouted and threw her into the barricade again.
The crowd erupts into cheers when Morgan dashes to ringside. Turning around, Rosa runs away, laughing at what she's done.
"Stay away from my friends!" The Outspoken diva shouted. "They have nothing to do with this!"
"With SummerSlam fast approaching, will Morgan get the last laugh and close the book for this feud?" Cole asked as she helped Nattie.
"I hope so," King said.
-----------
On Smackdown, Rosa walked down to the ring with a huge grin on her face.
"On Monday night, Rosa went up against Emma, and decided to add insult to injury by giving Emma the Morganizer. The Morganizer, John." Cole reminded.
"And it was a great thing! She did it better than the Outspoken Diva herself." JBL praised.
"I would like to call out Renee Young. I want to be interviewed, right here, right now. Where are ya?" Rosa looked around.
"Interview?" Cole asked with confusion
"Renee, if you don't get in this ring, right now, I will drag your little ass." She threatened while Renee walked around ringside. "Are you gonna stand there and look stupid? Get your butt in this ring and do your job."
After watching her reluctantly get in the ring, Rosa continued, "Now before we start this little interview, I've asked the WWE universe this question at Battleground. And you better not disappoint and give me a wrong answer, you understand me? Now...who is one of your favorite divas?"
"Rosa..." Renee began as she grinned at the crowd.
"You see? I knew she was a fan. That wasn't so bad right?"
"Actually, Rosa I wasn't finished." She said as the crowd cheered.
She turned back around and gave her a dirty look. "Excuse me?"
"Morgan is one of my favorite wrestlers—" Renee got cut off when Rosa grabbed her by the hair.
"Excuse me!? I'll ask you again! WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE WWE DIVA!?"
"Rosa has become obsessed over this," Cole said with concern.
"No, she's not. She's not obsessed." JBL defended.
Morgan dashes down the ring, while Rosa releases Renee. Rosa goes for a clothesline but she ducks it, to drop her down with a spinning heel kick, making her fall down and roll out the ring.
"Thank goodness!" Cole looked on.
"Get back in here! I watched you for weeks, beating up Nikki Bella, and going after my friends. This ends now! Renee isn't a wrestler, so why are you putting your hands on her?!" Morgan shouted as the crowd cheered in agreement. "I'm sick of it! You talk about being a dominant diva, but here you are putting your hands on a woman, who isn't a wrestler! So, since you want to put your hands on defenseless women, why don't you fight me? Let's not wait till SummerSlam. I want this match done and over with, so I can earn your so called respect and you can leave me the HELL alone! Let's get nuts!"
Rosa shakes her head and Morgan drops her microphone.
"I'm not ready! You'll fight me when I'm ready!" Rosa yelled.
"You are such a bitch!" She shouted before going over to Renee to help her.
"Thank goodness for Morgan saving Renee. That was uncalled for." Cole said.
"She wanted to make a statement," JBL stated.
"By going after Renee Young of all people? She didn't have to do that."
-----------
Next week, on Raw, Morgan storms into the Diva's locker room, seeing Rosa chatting with Alicia, Eva and Cameron.
"Oh, look who it is—" Rosa got cut off when Morgan grabbed the handles of her chair and forcefully made her face her, as she was looking in the mirror.
Eva, Cameron, and Alicia got in her face but Morgan glanced at them.
"Don't do that. Step away. Now." The Outspoken Diva ordered, in a harsh tone.
The divas backed off, leaving Rosa on her own. Morgan leaned in, having a stare down with her SummerSlam opponent.
"If you ever...touch my friends again...you're gonna wish that you never started to feud with me from the beginning. This feud was nice. It was fun. But at SummerSlam, I close the book. This is the last chapter. At SummerSlam you're history. I want a fight. And you better be worth my time after all the crap you've put me through."
Rosa smiled. "No. You better be worth my while and not be a crazy lunatic in the ring. I'm not scared of you, Morgan. I know what I'm going up against. You just better be ready. Got it? Good," She stood up and left the locker room.
Later, Seth was in the ring, about to go at it with RVD. But then Justin announces that Heath is Seth's new opponent.
"Oh come on!" Cole exclaimed as Seth started to grin.
Morgan tweets 'Haha! Don't judge a book by its cover. I wouldn't underestimate Heath WWERollins'
"Look at the smile on the face of Seth Rollins. He's loving this." King said as the match went underway.
Seth starts to dominate the match but the crowd starts to cheer when they see Dean walking around ringside, near the announce table.
"Look who's here." Cole looked on.
"You see how much time I have?" Seth pointed to the clock, showing that he had 14 minutes left.
Out of nowhere, Heath hits Seth with a neckbreaker and goes for the pin, to get a near fall. Dean continues to observe the match and takes Seth's briefcase.
"Wait a minute. Dean Ambrose just took his briefcase." King pointed out.
"He can't do that," JBL exclaimed as Dean opened up the briefcase and took out the contract.
"Gimme my contract!" Seth shouted and pointed. All of a sudden, Dean cringed as he slowly ripped the contract in half. "Oh, okay. Okay..."
"He just ripped the contract in half!" Cole said in shock.
Dean continues to rip up the contract before putting a few pieces in his mouth, only to spit it out, seconds later, and tosses the rest of the paper away.
"Somebody call the police department, please? He's destroying someone else's property!" JBL shouted.
"Why doesn't Rollins come out here and do something?" Cole asked.
"Why don't the police do something, about it!?"
"Slater!" Cole shouted as he kicked Rollins in the face.
Heath quickly goes for the pin but gets another near fall. Dean looks around and takes a fan's drink. He takes a couple of sips before opening up the briefcase.
"What are you doing?" Seth called out. "Hey!"
Morgan tweets 'Hey! Theft! That drink was probably a Pepsi! And Pepsi is the best!'
CM Punk favorited her tweet and replied, 'WWEMorgan101 you know it. #PepsiBuddies'
"Wait a minute, Dean." King chuckled as he positioned the drink to be poured into the briefcase.
King makes a disgusted sound effect as Dean slowly pours the drink in the briefcase.
"I hope it's waterproof!" Cole cringed.
"Put that down! Put that down!" Seth shouted.
Morgan tweets 'I love watching WWERollins get mad over stuff like this. #BigBabyRollins'
Dean walks around and grabs a fan's popcorn. He takes a few bites and walks back over to the soaked briefcase.
"Seth Rollins can not concentrate with Dean out here," King said with amusement.
"Not at all." Cole agreed.
Dean pours the popcorn into the briefcase, twisting his face into a nervous expression. He looks around and decides to grab JBL's hat. He puts it on his head as the crowd cheers.
"Now, he's really stealing things, right?" King asked.
Morgan tweets 'Indy memories coming through! He stole his hat! #CowboyAmbrose #CowboyMoxley #GrandTheftAutoPGStyle'
"Oh no! Look at your hat!" Cole exclaimed as Dean put JBL's hat into the popcorn and soda infested briefcase.
He shuts it and locks it.
"Come on! Somebody call the police!" JBL shouted.
Morgan tweets 'Somebody call 911! A sexy Lunatic Fringe is on the loose, ruining WWERollins's MITB briefcase.'
Dean stands up on the announce table, raising the leaking briefcase in the air, and making the commentators move out of the way.
"There is soda everywhere!" Cole moved away.
While Seth continued to yell and scream at Dean, Heath rolls him up for a pin.
"1!"
"2!"
"3!"
"He did it!" Cole shouted as the crowd went wild.
Dean's jaw drops and he starts laughing, while Seth begins freaking out. He just lost to Heath Slater for goodness sake! And it was all because of Ambrose. He was furious.
"The winner of this match, Heath Slater!" Justin announced as Seth ran his hands through his hair and began slamming his fists on the mat.
Dean drops the briefcase and gets off the table, dancing to Heath's theme. He leaves while Seth goes over to the announce table.
"How could you let him do that!?" Seth shouted and looked at his briefcase.
"I'm sorry man, what are we gonna do about it?" King shrugged.
"Oh God!" Cole looked on in disgust as Seth opened up the briefcase.
"Ah~" Seth whined and looked away.
It was hard to look at his well earned briefcase, in his opinion, ruined. He dumps everything out, looking frustrated as he starts kicking the table and throwing a chair.
"Dean Ambrose gets to pick the stipulation against Rollins at SummerSlam and I can guarantee ya, that Dean Ambrose is gonna make it good," Cole said as Rollins stormed off, with his ruined briefcase.
Morgan tweets, 'Ha! WWERollins #YouMadBro?'
Rollins replies, 'WWEMorgan101 Shut up! Just SHUT UP!'
She replies back 'WWERollins Ha ha! Sucks to be you.'
--------
Next week on Raw, Morgan walked out to the ring to a huge pop.
"Morgan! She's looking so bubbly, tonight. I love it when she smiles and twirls." King said with excitement.
She gets in the ring and grabs a microphone, enjoying the loud Morgan chants.
"You guys are so good to me." She chuckled and they cheered in response. "I won't keep you long. I'm not gonna bore you about what I'm gonna do at SummerSlam, but I just wanted to talk about the last diva standing match, this coming Sunday. This will be the last time I have to deal with Rosa and her annoying ways. It's time for me to move on to more important things. Like becoming Diva's champion. So AJ, Paige, don't think this spitfire has forgotten about the title. I just want to thank you two for keeping the title warm for me, while I take care of an annoying piece of crap..."
Rosa walked out, as the crowd booed her. She got in the ring and grabbed a microphone.
"Oh, here we go. What Morgan? What? You got something to say? You gonna tell everyone about Summerslam?" Rosa questioned.
"I was getting to it—"
"What are you gonna do Morgan? Tell everyone about how you're gonna kick my ass, at SummerSlam? Talk about being tired of wrestling me? I'm tired of wrestling you, too! You see, Morgan, you're like the John Cena around here."
"That's a terrible comparison—"
"Shut up!" Rosa shouted, as the crowd 'Oohed' at her comment. "Fans love you. You have everything that I WANT! The push I wanted. The kids find you as an inspiration. I wanted all that. But you took it all away from me. You know how hard it is to watch all these divas get all these title shots and opportunities? No. Well, not anymore. And this Sunday, I am going to give you a beating that you have never seen before."
Morgan remained silent, as she continued to listen to her talk.
"Why are you still here, Morgan? To try to become better than your boys? To make sure they don't outshine you because you're a diva? Ambrose, Reigns, and Rollins are always going to be better than you with the route you're going. It's a fact. You don't have to stay here in the WWE for them. And you don't have to come to SummerSlam. You can go home, and hang up your boots. Be a wife and a mother. Not pretend to act like a crazy person and attack your own boss, for attention."
Morgan began to narrow her eyes as Rosa rambled on.
"It's no secret you're clearly upset about The Shield. We all know it. And you desperately want things to go back to the way they were. You want things differently but guess what, stuff happens and you have to deal with it. Not be a big baby about it. Things are different around here, Morgan. It's not 2013. This is 2014. The Shield are no more. Stop living in a fantasy and face reality. Who are you going to become in this company? A dominant WWE Diva? Someone who doesn't look back and keeps going forward? Whatever can get you to the top? Or are you going to continue pretending that you're The Shield's girl? I saw you crying backstage numerous times, asking yourself what you could have done differently. But you seriously need to wake up and accept the fact that The Shield is done and over. Your boys moved on. You need to as well."
Rosa then began to frown at her, shaking her head. "I know exactly what is going on here. I'm not dumb. I see it and smell it from a mile away. You think I don't see what these people see? You are slowly becoming someone you hate. Someone you wanted to avoid since you stepped foot in this company. Don't think I don't know what's going on here. So, when are you going to look at yourself in the mirror? And take off that mask? To show who the real Morgan, is?"
Morgan was about to speak, about to tell her off but stopped herself, making Rosa raise an eyebrow as she felt like she just proved her point. Conflicted, Morgan dropped the mic and nodded, shocking the audience when she just got out of the ring.
Rosa scoffed and shook her head. "Hit a nerve?" she asked as she dropped the mic while her theme song came on.
"I don't, I don't know what to make of this," King said as the Outspoken Diva headed backstage.
"This is the first time that I have ever seen Morgan walk out like this. I'm surprised. What's going on?" Cole looked on.
-------------------
Melanie headed to Gamescom with Paul Wight, better known as Big Show.
"Gamespot here, at the 2014 Gamescom, and I'm delighted to be joined by the lovely Outspoken Diva, WWE Diva Morgan Lopez." Danny O'Dwyer said as she waved at the camera, wearing her trademark denim jacket, and casual wear. "So, today we'll be talking about your thoughts on WWE2K15 and answer questions that the fans and I have for you."
"Let's do this." Melanie grinned. "I'm ready."
"So, Morgan, there are rumors going around that you haven't been scanned for WWE2K15, is that true?"
"Yikes, I didn't think the rumors would get that far. Might as well confess. I have been scanned and everything but I was one of the last ones to get scanned. My schedule got really crazy with the WWE Live events. And every time 2K wanted to call me in to get scanned, I couldn't do it. So, it was like very last minute and stuff. But it's really fun. Can't wait for the game."
"Oh great. Because I'm sure the WWE Universe would love to play as the Outspoken Diva, in the game." He said while she nodded in response. "So, are you an avid video gamer? Do you play a lot?"
"Loving video games. Thanking AJ for everything about games. I haven't played any in a while because of my crazy schedule but when I have the free time, I'll try to get at least an hour or two in. The last game I played was with AJ when we were playing GTA V online. I also love The Sims, and a lot of those games. And I'm trying to recover from trying the demo of the new Silent Hill game. So, if my voice sounds a little hoarse, today, it's because of my screaming from all those jump scares." She laughed with him.
"You think you'll get it?"
"I dunno! I don't wanna lose my voice!"
"I would love to ask you, are you crazy? I've seen Harley Quinn show up these past weeks."
"Yes. I am a little rough around the edges. I have some screws loose and I can be a loose cannon if I get angry in the ring. But I'm really nice. Promise. I'm not gonna go crazy on you if you call me crazy or Harley Quinn. Although AJ on the other hand...you may wanna watch out."
"All right, on a more serious note. And you knew this question was coming."
"Yes." She nodded.
"The question that is on everyone's mind. Why did you walk out? Why did you walk out when Rosa was cutting a promo on you? You've been one of the top trends on Twitter these past couple of days, and we all want to know. Why?"
"I'm just...I'm so tired of explaining myself. Why not just wait till Sunday to make a statement? Not cut the pointless promos. Actions speak louder than words. And you will understand that on Sunday,"
"So, what do you think of WWE2K15?"
"It's so realistic. I'm excited. The work and the effort for this game are amazing. It's like you're watching WWE live. It's real, and it's like, for example, Randy Orton. You can actually see him doing his moves realistically. And it's like it's actually him wrestling in the ring, and it's actually him doing his own moves. It's awesome."
"That's very cool. So, Morgan you are a huge grape lover. When did you actually start eating grapes and why do you love them so much?"
"Funny story, okay so, I haven't tried grapes until I was 16. I know. Crazy. Shocker. My friends thought I was crazy for not eating a very common fruit for all these years. But I wasn't into trying new things and I always thought grapes looked gross. Especially when they look a little brown. I was like, ugh, no thanks. So, I stayed away from them. But then I finally tried it. I was like, oh my God, where have you been all these years!? They're just so juicy. I can't stop eating them. Just the sourness, the sweetness, jeez!"
"We heard Dean will be in a new WWE movie. How do you feel?"
Melanie's eyes lit up. "I'm excited! If you see how good he performs in the ring, then imagine how awesome it'll be to see him on the big screen. It's gonna be sick! Can't wait to see Officer Ambrose in uniform."
"I see a little blush there." Danny pointed out, making her giggle. "I have a question, what do you think about the fangirls? Do they love you? Hate you? What?"
"Yikes. I deal with different types of fangirls. Some love me, love me and Dean together, some hate me, envy me for dating their dream guy, some like to do research on me, trying to see my flaws or something, some think of me as a role model and just an awesome diva, like there are different types of fangirls out there. But the negativity some of them give me, it's not worth dwelling on. Not everyone is going to love me. So, that's that."
"All right, what's your worst injury?"
"I haven't really broken any bones or anything. But right now it's my ribs, back at Money in The Bank. When I tried to do a moonsault on Seth on top of a ladder, my ribs weren't so lucky. They hurt like hell. I hate hurting my ribs. It sucks. And that's one of the reasons why I'm not wrestling a lot in the ring, right now, as I really would like to, but WWE just wants me to heal up, and be in the best shape I can be for SummerSlam."
"So, do you see yourself and Triple H having a match? You two got in a heated confrontation back at Battleground and I know you two have some unfinished business. And also, where would you like to take him on? SummerSlam? WrestleMania? Royal Rumble? Or another place?"
"First off, hell to yes! I want that jerk in the ring with me, ASAP! I want to kick his head off." She said with determination. "Morgan holds grudges, and she isn't gonna let you slide with that little stunt, you pulled, Triple H. And also, I wouldn't mind facing him on RAW. Raw has a lot of big moments and it'll make me think about him and Chyna going at it."
"Speaking of Chyna, do you think Chyna will get her hands on Triple H, anytime soon?"
"I wish! Oh man, I want that to happen so badly,"
"So, we all heard about the WWE Magazine having its final issue coming up. And come to find out, you, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns will be on the cover. How do you feel? I know you've always wanted to be on the cover of the WWE Magazine and you finally get your wish."
"I am so happy and blessed. To be on the cover of the final WWE Magazine is so unreal. And I was pretty happy when they wanted all members of The Shield and not just the guys. I'm so excited and I hope you guys enjoy the final issue."
"Why do you love Dean so much?" Danny asked on behalf of the fans.
She blushed and laughed. "Fangirls?"
"Or it could be fanboys wanting to know,"
"It's hard to put into words. I love Dean so much. He has always been there for me since back in the Indy days. And we've just clicked ever since I met him. He's funny, he listens to me, and I'm always so comfortable with him."
"Even when you blush?" He teased.
"Danny, stop embarrassing me!" She laughed and playfully punched him on the arm.
"What's your best moment with Jon Moxley?"
"Despite all the awesome, and crazy moments I had with him, the one where he was the special ref for my match and he hit me with the Moxicity, to make me lose, started everything for me. Reason is because that really started our feud. Our popularity grew and stuff. If it wasn't for that attack, I don't think I would have been at TNA when they checked me out. And then on to the WWE."
"Another fan question, Do you hope to get married to Dean?"
"Absolutely." Melanie smiled.
"And would you like to get married to him onscreen or off?"
"Off." Melanie immediately replied. "Definitely off. I really wouldn't want my wedding filmed by Total Divas. Let me rephrase that. Hell no. No way I'm getting my wedding filmed for Total Divas. F outta here. And WWE weddings are always bad luck, so we're gonna stay away from having a wedding in the WWE."
"That's a beautiful ring on your right hand."
"Guess I should show you my rock." She revealed her hand, showing a ring on her right ring finger. "It's a promise ring."
Danny checked out her white gold ring, with her birthstone on top, and diamonds around it. "I saw how shiny it looked."
"Thanks." She grinned.
"So, tell me, how does it feel wrestling with your boyfriend?"
"I loved taking on Dean back at the Wyatt Family feud. It gives me pleasant memories of the Indy days. And working with him is awesome. A lot of divas are with WWE superstars but don't get to work with them, so it's a blessing to be able to work with Dean. He really helps me out with wrestling. And we're used to working together a lot, so it really works."
"In the future, can you see you and Dean Ambrose holding tag team belts?"
"Haha, that is very interesting." She chuckled. "Anything can happen in the WWE. So never say never to that. I can see us as a badass tag team. We dominate a lot together."
"Last question, do you think The Shield will ever reunite?"
"Yes. Even though we are all on a rocky road, deep down, we still all love each other and think of each other as a family. Right now, we're all focusing on our singles careers, and right now I'm focused on taking Rosa down once and for all at SummerSlam. And then making sure my journey as a single's competitor shines bright. I'm looking forward to the future." She smiled.
"Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions. And thanks for coming to Gamescom."
"No problem, thanks for having me."
"Morgan Lopez, everybody." Danny signed out.
-----------
For Smackdown, Morgan was on commentary for the show.
"Morgan, the question that is on everyone's mind, why did you leave?" Cole asked.
"Look, I'm tired of explaining myself, 24/7 when it comes to kicking someone's ass. I'll let my actions do the talking. That's why I left." She explained.
"So...Rosa didn't get under your skin?" JBL instigated but Morgan ignored him.
"Rosa seems to have been really trying to do mind games by doing your finishing moves," Cole said as Rosa took down Naomi with a suplex.
"I could care less. She can't do it like me, anyway. She can add insult to injury." The Outspoken Diva shrugged.
"And I think we're about to see it, again!" Cole shouted as Rosa trapped Naomi in Morgan's breakdown submission.
Naomi had no choice but to tap as the crowd booed.
"Here is your winner! Rosa Mendes!" Lilian announced as she got her hand raised.
"That was awesome." JBL applauded.
Rosa gets out of the ring and taunts Morgan.
"That's gonna be you at SummerSlam! Believe that!" Rosa turned around and started walking away.
Morgan sighed and took off her shoes. "I didn't want to do this..." The Outspoken Diva got on top of the announce table as the crowd cheered.
"What the what are you doing!? Get down! And watch the hat! I already got it ruined once by Ambrose!" JBL exclaimed.
"Look out!" Cole shouted as she jumped on top of Rosa, pummeling her down with punches. "Morgan and Rosa going at it!"
"Get off of her, Morgan! She didn't do anything!"
"You and me are gonna have some fun, this Sunday!" Morgan shouted before getting taken away backstage along with Rosa as referees tried to separate them.
"Uh...I think we just lost a commentator." Cole laughed.
"She'll be back..." JBL mumbled.
Later that evening, Morgan came back to continue commentating during Jack's match against Bo Dallas. After the show when Roman Reigns took care of the Miz, she took off her headset and enjoyed the dark segment as the Wyatt Family, Rosa, Seth, and Kane surrounded the ring.
Dean rushes down the ring to aid Roman, as they stand back to back. The crowd cheers even louder when Sheamus gets in the ring, to back them up. All the heels, but Rosa rush into the ring, and go after the faces. Morgan decides to get up from her seat, as she sees Rosa, over to her.
"Don't come over here. Don't do it." Morgan pointed out.
She sees the heels taking over the faces and decides to hit Seth with a low blow from ringside, as he was leaning on the ropes. That gives Dean the advantage to dropkick him as he rolls out of the ring. Morgan sees Rosa grabbing Dean by the leg and starts chasing her around the ring. Dean strikes Seth with a suicide dive, making him run backstage.
Sheamus gives Erick and Luke a brogue kick. Kane grabs Sheamus by the neck, preparing for the chokeslam until Roman drops him down with a Superman bunch. Rosa slides into the ring, to get away from Morgan and so does Bray. But Bray gets dropped back down by a Superman punch. Roman roars and hits Kane with the spear as the crowd cheers loudly. Dean and Sheamus get back in the ring to celebrate but witness Rosa in the ring.
"U—um, I mean no harm." Rosa put her hands up in defense, looking scared.
Dean and Roman start stalking her, as she tries to get away from them. Suddenly, Morgan slides back into the ring, as the crowd cheers for her. She rests her hands on her knees, awaiting for Rosa to turn around.
Dean and Roman yelled "Boo!" making her shriek and turn around, only to be laid out by backfire.
Rosa rolls out the ring as the crowd cheers, and the faces celebrate and taunt the crowd, in the ring. Morgan fixes her denim jacket and laughs.
"Haha, did you see her face?" The Philly Diva bumped fists with Roman as he laughed at her response.
Melanie, breaking out of character along with everyone else, finally gets out of the ring and starts tagging hands and taking photos. Meanwhile, Jon was standing on the announce table, getting hyped up. He sees a rose on the floor and picks it up, putting it in his mouth.
"Morgan! I hope you win on Sunday!" A little girl cheered.
Melanie smiled and thanked her, giving her a big hug. Meanwhile, Jon takes the rose from his mouth and holds it as he starts tagging hands at ringside. He sees Melanie with fans in front of him and gently grabs her by the wrist, making her turn around.
She saw the rose in his hands and laughed lightly. "Really? Thank you,"
"Yeah, really. You're welcome," he replied with a laugh before giving her a loving kiss, making the crowd cheer louder.
Jon heads up to the stage with Joe, continuing to taunt the crowd, while Melanie continues tagging hands at ringside. She sees them motioning her to come over as they start doing The Shield pose.
"Really?" She laughed as the crowd encouraged her. "All right, all right."
She walked over and stood in between them, putting her fist up.
SummerSlam was going to be great, this Sunday. Melanie couldn't wait.
------------
It was Sunday morning, and staying at a hotel in LA, Jon got himself situated for the big night ahead of him.
"Dude, where's Mel?" Joe asked, coming into the room after Jon let him in.
"She went to the pool. She wanted to enjoy the sun before heading to the arena." He replied.
Later, the two guys hear someone knocking on the door. Jon answers it to reveal Renee & Danielle.
"All right, Jon, where are you hiding her?" Renee smiled.
"Where's Melanie? April's trying to find her." Danielle informed.
"She's at the pool," he informed them.
"Pool!? We have a big night ahead of us! Why would she be at the pool?" Danielle walked off. "Wait until I see her! She's gonna get it! I thought she got kidnapped or something!" She went on, walking down the hallway.
Renee rolled her eyes in amusement and caught up with her.
"I heard she got challenged for the ice bucket challenge." Joe brought up.
"She did, huh? You thinking what I'm thinking?" Jon showed a mischievous grin.
"As long as I don't get killed, I'm in." He bumped fists with him.
With Melanie, she decided to get some sun before SummerSlam. She wore a red polka dot bikini and short jean shorts while taking a nap, on a white poolside chair, enjoying the hot sun. Meanwhile, April walked around the poolside area, trying to find her with Danielle & Renee.
"There she is!" Danielle pointed out.
"Mel, get up! SummerSlam is today!" April shook her.
"Hm..." Melanie mumbled, taking off her brown sunglasses. "Gimme ten more minutes..." She put her sunglasses back on.
"You've been napping all morning! We gotta get to the arena, soon." Renee took her sunglasses off, her eyes.
"And also you gotta donate. Your 24 hours is up." April pointed out.
"Donate...?" Melanie looked at the three women with a confused expression.
"The challenge," Danielle called out.
"Challenge? What challenge?" The Outspoken Diva yawned as the three divas glanced at each other.
"You don't know what the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is?" Renee asked.
"Um...no?" Melanie got up from the chair.
"Oh my gosh, we gotta get you educated! Shame on you, Mel! And you're the Twitter sensation. Check out the videos of the ones that challenged you." Danielle took out her phone.
The three divas gave Melanie an educated lesson about the challenge and showed her a couple of fan videos.
"And you gotta check out Phil's. He challenged you." April grinned.
"He did what? And I'm finding this out now, because?" Melanie exclaimed as she watched Phil's video.
"...And I challenge the grape monster, Melanie Laurer. Sorry, not sorry, Mel." Phil grinned in his video and motioned for his friend and April to pour the big bucket of water on him.
"I hate him..." Melanie said with a laugh.
"No~ don't hate my man! He's the best in the world!" April nudged her.
They checked out Ronda's video, along with Dana White and Celeste's ice bucket challenge videos.
"So, we're still making you dump ice on yourself." Renee grinned.
"Fine, fine, I'll do it and donate."
"I'll be recording!" April took out her phone, while Renee and Danielle went back inside to get a big bucket of ice.
Meanwhile, Melanie tweeted, 'I'm a targeted woman for the Ice Bucket Challenge? Challenge accepted! CMPunk, danawhite, RondaRousey, CelesteBonin, and WWE Universe.'
"Ready!" Danielle giggled as she brought with big bucket of ice and some water with Renee to the pool area.
"Recording?" Melanie asked and April nodded in response. "Hey, it's Morgan Lopez and I've been nominated by Ronda Rousey, my awesome enemy, Madison Rayne, CM Punk, Dana White, Celeste Bonin, and the WWE Universe to take part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Before I get started, I would love to encourage everyone to get involved and donate, please." She looked at the large bucket before her and exhaled. "Okay..."
April started to giggle when she saw Joe and Jon in the background, behind Melanie. Joe gave Jon the large black bucket of ice and moved out of the way. Danielle and Renee struggle to keep their laughs in, catching Melanie's attention.
"I know, you can laugh." Melanie pointed out. "All right, let's do this—AHH!"
She screamed out of shock when she got a large bucket of ice and brisk water dumped on her head. She was soaked head to toe, jumping up and down in surprise, at the sudden coldness. The divas laughed while Melanie ran her hands through her cold and wet hair, shivering. Jon laughed and placed the bucket on top of her head.
"What the heck was that!? I wasn't even ready!" she shouted and took the bucket off, throwing it at Jon, who evaded it.
"What? It's for charity. You'll live." He grinned.
"Oh okay...okay. Fine. You know who I nominate? I nominate my mom, dad, Chyna, my good buddy from TNA, The Devil's Man, and...you, T Master." Melanie pushed Jon.
"T Master? What? No way. I donated—" Jon jumped in shock as she dumped her original freezing bucket of ice water on his head.
"Now, you're all nice and wet for the fangirls. And it's all for a good cause." She laughed and placed the bucket on top of his head.
She turned him around and kicked him in the butt, making him fall into the pool as everyone started laughing out loud.
"How's the weather down there?" She laughed and turned back to the camera.
He got out of the pool and took off his leather jacket and shirt, leaving him just in his sneakers and jeans.
"Man, that water's cold." Melanie shivered. "Anyway, don't forget to donate!" She gave the camera a thumbs up.
"Watch your back!" Danielle warned but it was too late.
Melanie screamed as she got a pair of strong arms, wrapped around her waist. She got pulled back, and fell in the pool, making a big splash.
April laughed and ended the video. "Now, that's a keeper."
----------
While the SummerSlam Kickoff was underway, Melanie had on jean shorts with black fishnet stockings that had tiny holes, that were almost invisible to see until you get up close. Black boots, a red vest that stopped before her pierced naval and it showed a little bit of her black bra underneath. She put her hair in loose curls and headed to catering.
"Nervous?" Brie smiled and handed her a bowl of grapes.
"Appreciate it." She exhaled. "I'm kind of nervous. This night is going to seriously change the course of my career, I can tell you that."
"So is mine," she replied with a sweet smile. "But you're going to do great out there. Just like you always do."
"Thanks, you will too."
Sadly, at the last minute, WWE changed the time for Milena and Melanie's match. They had even less time for their match and the two decided to work on doing as many crazy spots as possible. When wrestling news sites grabbed a hold of the leaked news that their match time got cut down, social media was not too happy. Their match was barely longer than Paige's match going up against AJ later that evening. Of course, both Melanie and Milena were pissed but they were going to make sure to do what they do best even with the short time limit.
Melanie tweets 'Time to make a statement, tonight. Somebody is going to get hurt. You know who you are. #FistsAreOnFire'
SummerSlam started off with Hulk Hogan and now it was time for Melanie's match against Milena. It was pretty darn cool of WWE to let the Last Diva Standing match be the opening of the show. And Melanie was going to make sure not to disappoint.
"This is a last diva standing match!" Justin announced as the crowd cheered loudly.
"Ooh! We're starting off big tonight!" King said with excitement. Nothing like diva action to get the King hyped up.
"Introducing first, from San Jose, Costa Rica, Rosa Mendes!" Justin announced as she walked out with a smug look.
"New attitude, more focused, I think Rosa has a chance here. This is the final chapter of this feud, they close the book in this personal story, and I can't wait to see the outcome." Cole looked on.
"I agree. This rivalry has been going on for a very long time. And finally, it comes to a close. The final showdown. I am so excited. Who do you think is gonna win?" King asked.
"Despite Rosa's actions, I think Morgan is gonna come out on top. But I can guarantee that Rosa is going to give it all she has and prove that she is a worthy future Diva's champion one day. No more messing around. Things are getting serious."
The arena dimmed its lights as the beats of Morgan's theme came on.
"And introducing her opponent, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Morgan Lopez!" Justin announced as she walked out to a big pop, putting her hands on her hips.
Her wrestling attire started glowing in the dark, showing off the neon colors from her belt, vest, and fingerless gloves.
"She's here! The Outspoken neon beauty!" King said with excitement.
Celeste tweets 'Here we go! #OutspokenNeonBeauty in the house! End this feud once and for all WWEMorgan101!'
"Morgan has dealt with Rosa for many months, and now she seeks closure. She wants to beat Rosa here, tonight, and close the book of this story." Cole informed as she twirled around and tagged hands.
"Morgan, stalking Rosa outside the ring." King looked on as The Outspoken Diva touched each ring post she passed while staring down at Rosa. After walking around the ring twice, she got in the ring.
"Got a feeling these two are going to give each other a lot of pain and suffering here, tonight." JBL said.
'Ding Ding Ding'
Milena and Melanie stared at each other and nodded. They were pressed for time so they were going to have to do a lot in a short amount to at least make this last match worthwhile.
Morgan runs and jumps right on top of Rosa, pummeling her down with punches as they roll out the ring.
"This is getting violent, quick!" King exclaimed.
The announce team moves out of the way, once she slams Rosa's head on top of the announce table, over and over again. Rosa elbows her in the stomach and tosses her into the steel steps.
"Good grief!" Cole shouted.
"No more games, Neon girl!" Rosa tossed her into the barricade, while Morgan held the back of her neck.
Rosa waits for her to get up, and lays her out with a swinging neckbreaker.
"Count!" She ordered the ref, who was at ringside, to keep a healthy distance from the action.
Celeste tweets 'Come on #NeonDiva, get up!'
"1...! 2...!" The ref began to count.
"This match may end early!" Cole looked on.
"3...!"
Morgan starts to get on her hands and knees.
"4...!"
She almost gets to her feet with the help of the barricade.
"5...! She's up." The ref stated.
Annoyed at the outcome, Rosa rolls the Neon Diva back into the ring.
"Come on, Morgan, is this what you wanted?" She taunted and grabbed her for a suplex.
The Philly Diva counters and hits her with a suplex of her own, as the crowd cheers. She Irish whips Rosa into the corner, and hits her with the handspring back elbow.
"Uh oh, this might get ugly," King said with worry as she placed Rosa on the top rope and tried to go for another suplex.
"W—wait a minute!" Cole shouted as Rosa managed to put Morgan in a suplex position. "Outside the ring!"
"Oh my gosh!" King screamed in a high pitched voice as Rosa suplexed her outside the ring.
"Off the top rope! They may be broken in half!"
The crowd chants 'This is awesome' while the ref slides out of the ring and checks on the two divas. Morgan was laid out, flat on her back, while Rosa was laid out, face first.
"Can we rewatch that landing? Oh!" King said as the titantron showed the suplex a couple of times. "Look how hard they landed."
The suplex really took a toll on them both, especially their backs as they were still exhausted.
"I didn't think it was gonna get this dangerous, this quick!" Cole said as the ref began to count.
"1...!"
"2...!"
"3...!"
"4..."
"5...!"
"6...!"
Both divas start to stagger up to their feet. "7...!"
Both of them make it back to their feet. Rosa walks around the ring and grabs a kendo stick, as the crowd cheers.
"Oh no...no. Do not, do this! There's a better way!" King shouted.
She walks back over to Morgan and tries to hit her with it, but she catches it and yanks it out of her hands.
"Uh oh!" Cole shouted as she whacked Rosa on the arm, with the stick.
Rosa tries to run away but Morgan is right on her tail, continuously beating her with the stick. She drops Rosa down with a whack to the face, with the stick, and gets back in the ring. She starts to get back on her feet, while Morgan goes for a suicide dive. But Rosa manages to move out of the way, while Morgan lands on her face.
"What a landing!" Cole looked on.
"Good grief! Is she okay?" King asked while The Outspoken Diva held her face. "She didn't break anything, did she?"
Rosa rolls Morgan back in the ring, and places her on the top rope again, with her back facing her. She makes Morgan go in the tree of woe, better known as hanging upside down, on the turnbuckle, as she gets a chair.
"What is going on with Rosa, now?" Cole asked.
"We're gonna end this match, quickly, okay?" Rosa mentioned before striking Morgan's stomach with the chair. The crowd 'Ohs' at the impact as she yelled out in pain.
"Morgan's defenseless! Get her down, ref!" King shouted.
"Again..." Melanie murmured to Milena, prepared for the pain.
Rosa laughed evilly and hit her hard against the stomach once again as Morgan cried out in pain.
"Let them fight, she'll be fine," JBL replied.
"Repeated shots..." Melanie murmured again to her.
Suddenly, Rosa continuously hit her with the chair, taking out all her frustration.
"Doesn't feel so good, does it, Neon girl?" Rosa taunted and hit her one more time, before letting her go.
Morgan falls down and clenches her stomach, as the ref begins to count.
"1...!"
"2...!"
"I think this is it. Rosa did a lot of damage to that midsection." King murmured in defeat.
"3...!"
"4...!"
"5...!"
"6...!"
"7...!"
"8...!"
Morgan manages to get back on her feet and continues to hold her stomach. Rosa tries to go for another swinging neckbreaker, but Morgan counters and hits her with the backfire.
"Backfire!" King said with excitement as the crowd cheered.
She slowly gets on the top rope and hits her with a moonsault. Rosa rolls out the ring, while Morgan continues to recover. The moonsault took a lot of energy from her. After a minute of recovering from Morgan's offense, Rosa looks under the ring and gets a bag.
"What on earth...?" Cole wondered as she got back in the ring.
She opens up the bag and dumps it out, in the middle of the ring, causing the crowd to go crazy seeing two women in WWE with thumbtacks.
"T—that's thumbtacks!" King shouted.
"Is she out of her mind!? Thumbtacks!?" JBL shouted as Morgan started to get up.
'Ugh...fuck my life...' Melanie complained in her head as she tried to mentally prepare for what was about to happen.
'You got this...it's going to be okay...you can do this...' she thought in her head, trying to encourage herself.
Morgan runs over to her, going for a clothesline, but Rosa manages to pick her up.
"I'm sorry!" Milena murmured, knowing this was going to hurt like hell for her, and slammed her on top of the thumbtacks.
King screams in a high pitched voice while the crowd cheers loudly.
"AHH~!" Morgan screamed out in pain as she arched her back from the pain.
-----------
"AHH~!" Melanie screamed inside of a CZW ring.
Silver thumbtacks were all over her back, arms, legs, everywhere as she got suplex in the middle of the ring by Christina Von Eerie. The loud holy shit chants were everywhere as the commentators were freaking out.
"Do you want to continue?!" The ref asked.
"No!" Melanie shouted as the ref called for the bell.
She started crying and began to freak out as the referees tried to help her. She was scared out of her mind, and never felt this pain before. And she never wanted to feel it again in that moment.
-------------
It took weeks of convincing to agree to this spot. It began to give her PTSD of that match in CZW. But Melanie knew she'd be able to power through the pain. That match toughened her up and made her more open to those risky spots. But it was nothing like having thumbtacks all over your body.
Her body was shaking as she felt agonizing pain. Stabbed all around her body. The discomfort and agony were clearly shown on her face.
"Oh my God!" Cole shouted while she continued screaming in pain, clearly going beyond selling the pain of the thumbtacks. "What a way to start off Summerslam!"
"She's wide awake now! Rosa isn't playing around, this time!" JBL yelled. "She caused this!"
Melanie started to calm down, still shaking from the pain.
"Oh my God! Oh my God~!" King continued to shout and scream. "Thumbtacks all over her body!"
The crowd chants 'Holy shit!' while Melanie lays back down on her back as tears began to flow.
"Morgan's in pain, guys. The tears in her eyes," Cole observed while Rosa grinned in satisfaction and laughed.
Thumbtacks were everywhere. On her back, legs, arms, hands, clothing, almost everywhere on her body. She used to regret having that match against Christina because it came to an end so quickly, but it changed her. She wasn't going to chicken out and quit the match. And she wasn't going to give up and stay down, again.
"1...! 2...! 3...! 4...!"
The referee's counts filled Melanie's head and so did the crowd's cheers. She could hear Milena in character, laughing in the background, most likely taunting the crowd.
Crying as she fought through the pain, she slowly started to get up. She heard the ref inform they had only 3 minutes left of their match, being one of the shortest matches on the card.
Morgan wipes her tears and started to get up on the count of 7.
"So much heart. Can't believe she's continuing this match." Cole said as the crowd cheered. "Thumbtacks and all."
"There you go, always playing the tough girl. It's okay to just stay down and give up, for once!" Rosa shouted.
"As cliché as it may sound, give up isn't in my vocabulary." Morgan snapped, in an icy tone.
"It is in my ring! You're done!" Rosa kicked her in the stomach and threw her out of the ring.
"These two are very hostile towards each other. I don't think they'll ever become friends." JBL said.
"Rosa has dominated this whole match. Morgan has tried to hold her own, but it seems that Rosa always finds a way to keep her down." King said as she grabbed another kendo stick and whacked Morgan's back with it.
Morgan falls down on her knees but manages to get back up, slowly walking up the ramp. Rosa whacked her back every time she tried to make a step up the ramp.
As soon as they get on the stage, Rosa tries to hit her in the head with the kendo stick but Morgan manages to catch it and throw it away. She tries to go for a powerbomb, but Rosa counters and hits her with powerbomb of her own, at the edge of the stage, on the left side.
"No! Morgan may be broken in half!" Cole shouted as Rosa walked over to the right edge of the stage, taunting the crowd.
"I got a bad feeling about this..." JBL mumbled.
"1...! 2...! 3...! 4...!"
"Come on Morgan!" King shouted.
"5...! 6...!"
"She's motionless, King. I think this is it." Cole said in defeat.
"7...! 8...! 9...!"
The crowd explodes into loud cheers when Morgan kips up.
"Taking a play out of Shawn Michaels' book!" Cole shouted.
"She's still alive?!" JBL yelled in disbelief.
"Woo hoo!" King cheered as she managed to come out of her groggy state.
She stares down Rosa's back and makes a gun sign, before shooting it towards her head.
Rosa turned around and widened her eyes. "How did you get up so fast!?"
"Believe in that, bitch!" The Outspoken Diva started running up to her, and speared her off the stage, onto a table as the crowd's cheers got louder.
"Oh my God!" Cole and King shouted as the ref quickly rushed over to the two divas.
"You okay?" Melanie asked Milena in her ear.
"Yes. I love you. Amazing match. Thank you for this rivalry. Thank you for helping me with my career,"
"Love you too. Milena, thank you so much for everything," she moved off her and laid face first on the ground.
"1...! 2...!"
"Is this it!?" King shouted.
"3...! 4...! 5...!"
Morgan starts to stagger up to her hands and knees.
"6...! 7...! 8...!"
And with the help of the stage, she finally manages to get back to her feet. Rosa was still down and out, motionless.
"9...!"
"10! Ring the bell!" The ref shouted as the crowd yelled 'Yeah!'
"Here is your winner! Morgan Lopez!" Justin announced as the crowd cheered loudly.
The ref raises her hand and helps her. She was starting to bleed with the thumbtacks but the pain was bearable as the adrenaline pumped through her.
Celeste tweets 'Short and sweet with a lot of extreme spots. Making an impact with little time is awesome.'
"Morgan finally closes the chapter. Very extreme match up. Rosa may have dominated most of the match, but Morgan endured the beating and came through." Cole praised.
"Can we see that spear one more time? Good grief! What a landing!" King shouted.
"And it seems that Rosa isn't going to be a problem with her, anymore. Incredible match." JBL praised.
"Wearing these battle wounds, proudly." Morgan gave the camera a thumbs up and tagged some hands.
How do you think Jennie would do in BTS vs Zombies episode of BTS Run?
Lmfaoooo I got PLANS! I’ve been getting inspo from those tik toks on how black people react at haunted houses and Jen gotta be on full defense. She will not like this episode with the zombies, poor thing lmfao. She wouldn’t even want to go outside when the episode started as Hobi got chased. She’ll be letting out a lot of F and S bombs which’ll get bleeped out 😭😭
At one point I want her to end up having the camera crew lose her because she ran too far off from getting scared. Eventually she’ll be found and begin the mission while fighting for her life, already warning people that if something pops up at her she gotta put herself first
She’ll be the screamer, the track runner, the never mind (immediately wanting to turn around and go somewhere else) and eventually getting so fed up she’ll be about to throw hands when someone tries to approach her.
As soon as she sees a zombie crawling on the floor fast af, cue the obituary 😭😭😭
However, the track runner skills will come in handy. I don’t see zombies catching her with the way her adrenaline will pump during filming. Despite the complaining, she’ll power through
Forced To Believe 67- Going Our Separate Ways

Summary: Morgan goes on her own. Jon takes care of Melanie's ex once and for all.
Words: 8,000+
Author's Note: This got more of her toxic ex with some mentions of abuse so just wanted to warn y'all! Last time he will be in the story.
-------
The main event with The Shield, Morgan, and Cena up against The Wyatts and Rosa started off as a back and forth match up until The Wyatts started to dominate Cena and Dean. Things start to pick up when Bray slams Cena down and goes for a running senton. Cena manages to roll out the way.
"And John Cena creates a little bit of space, can he capitalize?" Cole wondered.
The crowd gets hyped once Roman gets tagged in. He slams Luke down with a clothesline and hits Erick off the apron. Erick gets back in the ring and tries to clothesline him, but Roman swiftly evades it, so Dean can jump on top of him. While Ambrose starts unloading on Erick, Rosa gets in the ring. While the ref and Roman are distracted, she goes down on her knees to try to low blow him but Roman catches her forearm in time.
"Uh oh!" Cole exclaimed as she tried to yank her arm back.
Roman makes Rosa stand up as she starts begging for mercy. He picks her up over his shoulders and slams her down with a Samoan drop. Morgan connects with a moonsault and Rosa rolls out the ring. Roman bumps fists with the Philly Diva and slides out of the ring to hit Luke and Erick with a dropkick outside the ring. Dean clotheslines Erick out of the ring but gets bounced off the apron by him. Morgan gets back on the apron while Luke gets planted by Reigns with a slam.
"Cover him." King urged but the pin got broken up by Erick.
He starts pummeling Roman down until Cena connects with a crossbody to take him out. He tries to go for the AA but Erick manages to evade it and Bray takes the opportunity to hit Cena with the Sister Abigail. But as soon as Bray turns around he gets dropped by a Superman punch. Meanwhile, Morgan and Dean get back in the ring and dive on top of Erick and Rosa outside the ring.
"Man!" JBL shouted when Luke dropped Roman down with a big boot.
"Reigns may be out," Cole said as Luke went for the pin.
Luckily Roman kicks out. Luke starts looking around the arena, acting weird and Roman manages to spear him when he turns around.
"Spear!" Cole shouted.
"1!"
"2!"
"3!"
"Reigns, Ambrose, Lopez and Cena win!"
Cena, Morgan, and Dean get back in the ring to celebrate. Roman and Dean hug before they get their hands raised by the ref, along with Morgan and Cena.
"Thank you." Morgan smiled at Cena while Cena gave The Shield members a nod in approval.
"Triple H and Seth Rollins can not be pleased," Cole said as the camera showed them in Triple H's office, looking on. Meanwhile, back in the ring, Cena raises The Shield's arms in victory.

Next week on Raw, Paige was taking on Cameron while Naomi was at ringside. All of a sudden, Rosa runs out and attacks Paige, making it a disqualification.
"Why is Rosa out here?" Cole exclaimed as she threw Paige out of the ring, while Cameron slid out the ring.
Rosa grabs the Diva's Championship and slides back into the ring.
"What is going on?" King asked as Rosa was in her street clothes, while she grabbed a mic.
"I got something to say." she spoke as the crowd gave her no love. "Don't make me tell you to shut up! I have something to say so shut up! All of you! You are looking at the next—AHEM!"
"This is so disrespectful. Let her talk." JBL said as the crowd continued to boo her.
"You are looking at the next Diva's Champion. I am so tired of watching all these vulgar divas get title shot after title shot, when you got a veteran like me, who has been working hard and improved, not getting a shot—SHUT UP!" She shouted again. "But instead of complaining about it, I decided to take action. I don't care who I have to beat, but the next diva in line for this title is me! Not Naomi. Not Cameron. And certainly not some Philly cheese steak eating, Harley Quinn wannabe, bitch!"
"Whoa, was that necessary?" King asked.
Suddenly, Morgan walks out in her trademark tank top, jeans, and hoodie.
"Oh here comes the Philadelphian, now! She just finished eating her Philly cheese steak! I bet she ate a lot of TastyKakes in the back, too!" Rosa mocked, making Morgan crack an amused smile as she got in the ring and took off her hoodie. "Looks like she ate some bagels with that Philadelphia cream cheese too. You look like you gained a couple of pounds, you pig! Haha—AH!" She shrieked as she got speared.
"Uh oh! Here we go!" Cole shouted.
Morgan continues pummeling Rosa with punches before throwing her across the ring. She knocks her down with a couple of clotheslines before dropping her back down with a roundhouse kick. She grabs her and hits her with the backfire, in the middle of the ring, as the crowd cheers for her. She stands tall and looks down at Rosa's motionless body, shrugging. Her theme comes on while she picks up the Diva's championship to louder cheers. She looks at it and sees Paige getting back in the ring. They face off as she raises Paige's championship in front of her with a smirk.
"Looks like Cameron and Rosa aren't the only ones that Paige needs to watch out for." King grinned.
"I see the tension. These two do not like each other, do they?" JBL said as Paige snatched the title from her and got in her face.
Morgan looks nonchalant at how Paige snatched the title from her as the ref separates them.
"Morgan surprisingly the woman with a few words, tonight. I don't think this is going to be the last of these two." Cole predicted.
"I agree! I hope they go at it soon." King cheered.
"Hey, Morgan. Morgan." Triple H was shown on the titantron again as the crowd boos while she narrowed her eyes. "Congratulations, you are on your own again, just like when you debuted. No brothers. No boyfriend, you are all alone. Seem like you didn't get the memo when Rosa said she will be next in line for a title shot. And it seems that you think you deserve a title shot more than Rosa does. Well how about you prove that to me? Later on tonight, you will go one on one with the Diva's Champion, Paige, in a nontitle match,"
The crowd cheers loudly at the idea, while Morgan gives Paige a smirk while Paige nods a couple of times. The crowd starts chanting 'This Is Awesome'.
"And Morgan...don't disappoint me. I hope you prove to The Authority and the whole world that you don't need your little boys to hold your hand, in this company. Prove to everyone that you don't need anyone to help you out. That you don't need a team for success." He continued.
"Paige and Morgan going at it, later on, tonight!? I can't wait!" King said with excitement.
"This is going to be physical," JBL guaranteed.

'WWE Exclusive Video'
"Please welcome my guest at this time, the WWE Diva's Champion, Paige," Tom announced.
"Tom." Paige greeted.
"Paige. I wanna get your take on what just transpired in the ring between Morgan, Naomi, Cameron, and Rosa Mendes. Is there anyone on the diva's division that you think will be a threat to you?"
"I am very excited for the competition. There's a bunch of talent. You got Naomi, who is really, really athletic. You got Natalya, who is actually a big idol of mine, and then you got Morgan. A diva who wrestles guys, she's charismatic and plucky, and her passion for wrestling is great. I'm really looking forward to facing her in a match, tonight."
"We saw a little bit of mind games portrayed by her, earlier when she raised the title in your face. How do you feel about that?"
"I don't like it when the divas touch something that's mine. Especially when it's the diva's championship"
Morgan walks up to her and gives her a smile. "Sorry to interrupt."
"No, no, you're fine," Paige replied, eyeing her cautiously.
"I don't think you're a rookie. You belong here. I admire you. Admire your wrestling. Your passion. You busted your ass and you deserve that title."
"Thank you. I admire you, too. I've seen all that you've done. It takes a lot of guts to step in the ring with WWE Superstars."
"I came here because I just wanted to thank you, for thinking I'm a threat. But I'm not after your title...yet. I got some unfinished business to take care of. I was just making a statement. For you, and all the other divas to stay the hell out of my way." The Outspoken Diva said in a forceful tone as she narrowed her eyes.
Paige steps up to her as they face off. Dryly chuckling and nodding she said, "I think you should be the one to stay the hell out of my way. I'm looking forward to taking you on. Just think again if you think you'll win against me,"
"Hm. Likewise...you and I are gonna have a lot of fun in the future."
"Yes...we are. I'm nothing you've ever faced before. You honestly think you can win against me?"
"I don't think. I know. And tonight I'm going to prove that."
"Is that right?"
The tension was starting to build up as Tom started to get uncomfortable, with the situation.
"L—ladies let's not get physical. Your match will be coming up soon," he reminded nervously.
"Watch your back." The Outspoken diva said in a threatening tone and walked away.
"Yep...We're going to be the best of friends." Paige smiled at Tom.
----------
"This is a diva's bout set for one fall! Introducing first, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, The Outspoken Diva, Morgan Lopez!" Justin announced.
The crowd gives her a big pop as she twirls around and does her taunt.
"Triple H ordered this match. Morgan going up against Paige to see if she can handle her own alone, without Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins." Cole informed.
"Speaking of Dean Ambrose, are they still together?" King eagerly asked.
"King you'll never have a chance with Morgan. Cut it out!" JBL shouted while Morgan slid into the ring and taunted the crowd on the turnbuckle.
"I was just asking. Jeez. It was a curious question." King grumbled.
"Morgan takes on the Diva's Champion, Paige, next," Cole announced before they went to a commercial break.
As soon as they came back to the USA Network, Paige was already in the ring while the ref calls for the bell.
"And here we go. Two dominant divas going at it. This is going to be great!" King grinned while Paige and Morgan shook hands before circling around each other.
They lock up and Paige takes her down with a headlock. Paige's neck gets caught in between Morgan's legs as she breaks the hold. Paige quickly escapes it as they both stand up. The champion hits her with a couple of clotheslines before smashing her head down on the mat.
"I like the physicality by Paige." JBL complimented as she got a two count.
"Come on Total Diva." Paige made her stand up and started headbutting her, before throwing her across the ring.
"Paige is already taking it to Morgan." Cole observed.
"Just wait. She's gonna get mad really soon." JBL guaranteed.
"These two divas have a reputation for getting very angry in matches," King informed.
Morgan is sitting on the bottom turnbuckle as Paige starts screaming. Paige begins stomping on her and taunts the crowd while turning around.
"I told you!" JBL shouted as Morgan speared her and started pummeling her with punches.
Morgan lets out a scream of her own and tries to go for the breakdown submission. Paige manages to evade it and rolls out the ring to get herself together. The Philly Diva decides to get on the apron and hit her with a diving clothesline, making the crowd cheer.
"And Morgan connects with the clothesline!" Cole looked on.
The ref begins to count while Morgan tries to throw Paige into the barricade. Paige counters it and throws her into it instead, making the crowd 'oh'. Paige throws her back in the ring, while she gets in between the ropes.
"She loves to scream a lot, huh?" King asked as Paige hit Morgan with a couple of knee strikes while screaming.
Morgan kneels down on the apron and holds her chest, feeling sore from the knee shots. As soon as she stands up, Paige whacks her face with an elbow, making her fall off the apron.
"Good grief! That elbow connected right to the mouth!" JBL shouted as Morgan held her mouth and cringed in pain.
"Come on Morgan." Paige taunted as she waited for her to crawl back in the ring, at the count of 6.
The Outspoken diva begins fighting back with clotheslines and stuns her with a kick to the stomach. Morgan takes advantage by jumping on the middle rope and hitting her with a calf kick to the back of the head.
"What a kick!" JBL exclaimed.
"And Paige kicks out at two! I thought that was it right there." Cole observed.
Paige gets up and tries to go for a clothesline but Morgan ducks it and lays her out with a bicycle kick.
"That should be it and Paige kicks out again!" Cole added.
"She hit her right in the jaw,"
Morgan throws Paige into the corner and tries to go for a handspring back elbow smash but she moves out of the way. She rolls Morgan up and gets a two count.
"I thought Paige had her—oh!" Cole shouted once she hit the Paige Turner out of no where.
She goes for the pin but Morgan manages to kick out at two.
"No!" Paige put her hands over her head and looked at the ref in shock.
"That was two!" The ref put up two fingers.
"How did Morgan kick out of that?" King asked as the ref continued to explain to Paige, that the count was two.
Morgan manages to stand up and gets on the top rope.
"Watch your back, Paige!" King warned but Morgan connected with a crossbody.
She quickly makes her stand up and connects with the backfire. She pins her, but Paige kicks out a two.
"That was three!" Morgan exclaimed but the ref put up two fingers, explaining that it was two.
A tired Outspoken Diva decides to place Paige on the top turnbuckle and goes for a suplex.
"Is that enough to put the Diva's champion away?" Cole asked as she slowly crawled over to Paige and put an arm on top of her.
"1!"
"2!"
"Oh!" The crowd exclaimed as Paige kicked out again.
The crowd starts chanting 'This Is Awesome' while Morgan and Paige lay down on the mat, exhausted.
"These two are giving each other their best shots. What will it take to win?" King wondered.
The crowd begins to chant 'Let's Go, Morgan! Let's Go, Paige!' as the two women get back on their feet at the count of 7 and start hitting each other with back and forth punches to the face. Paige kicks her in the stomach and picks her up to connect with a cradle DDT. She goes for the pin but Morgan kicks out at two.
"That's it!" Paige screamed and roughly turned her around, grabbing her legs. "You're going to tap! This is my house!"
"Paige is getting frustrated," JBL looked on.
"Uh oh, is Paige about to go for the PTO?" Cole asked as she managed to grab one of Morgan's arms.
Morgan manages to make Paige release her with her free arm and quickly counters her submission by sitting on her back. She quickly puts her legs under her arms and stands up while giving her a camel clutch as she bends her body back.
"Tap!" Morgan screamed while Paige desperately tried to escape the hold as the crowd got hyped.
"Will Paige tap!?" Cole shouted but she managed to escape it and roll out of the ring. "I thought she had her there."
Morgan goes for a suicide dive but lands on her face as soon as Paige evades it. The crowd 'ohs' at the impact while Morgan holds her face in pain.
"Good grief! Is she okay!?" King shouted.
"She landed on her face!" JBL looked on as the ref checked on her and signaled that she was okay.
The ref gets back in the ring and begins to count again as the crowd starts chanting 'This Is Awesome' again. Morgan's face ached badly from hitting the floor and her head on the barricade. But she still powered through.
"The ref is up to six," King said while Morgan staggered up to her feet.
She makes it back in the ring, at the count of nine, as the crowd gives her a big pop. Paige waits until she gets up and tries to go for another Paige Turner, but Morgan swiftly moves out of the way and connects with the Morganizer.
"Morganizer! Is that it!?" Cole shouted as Morgan went for the pin.
"1!"
"2!"
"3!"
"And that's all she wrote!" King cheered as Justin announced her as the winner.
Morgan rolls over and continues holding her face. She was definitely going to need an ice pack to ease the pain.
"Awesome match!" King praised as Morgan got her hand raised by the ref and taunted the crowd.
Paige gets up and faces off with her again, before shaking hands. She gets out of the ring, while Morgan continues to celebrate.
"Looks like Morgan can hold her own with or without Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins. I see the championship around her waist already." JBL said, impressed.
"But she still has some unfinished business with Rollins and Mendes," Cole reminded as Triple H was shown on the titantron, again.
"Well looks like you really can hold your own after all." Triple H chuckled and clapped for her, sarcastically. "Good for you Morgan. I'm proud of ya."
She grabbed a mic and chuckled before getting serious. "Shut up! Don't get your panties in a bunch. I've been holding my own since day one when I stepped foot into this company and I'm gonna continue holding my own. And there's not a damn thing you can do about it. You can do what you want. I'm alone. No brothers, no boyfriend, I can handle it."
"She can't talk to him like that!" JBL shouted while Triple H looked amused.
"She just did." King laughed.
She began to speak again. "Do yourself a favor and stop wearing your wife's panties since she clearly wears the pants in the relationship. And since you and her still got this grudge against me after what I've done to you two, what ever you put in my path, I'll cut right through."
She drops the mic and does her cocky curtsy as her theme comes back on.
"What a statement!" Cole exclaimed.
"A very disrespectful statement!" JBL complained.
"I liked it! Go, Morgan!" King cheered.
Morgan tweets 'Sorry I don't hold my tongue and I don't back down to anyone. Save the sarcasm for someone else TripleH.'
Paige tweets 'I got a little taste of what I'm going up against when WWEMorgan101 and I take on each other for the title. We cool?'
Morgan replies 'RealPaigeWWE yes, we're cool. Like you said, we're gonna be the best of friends. Ain't that right buddy?'
----------
After she was done with her match, Melanie went to her hotel room to freshen up and put on some casual clothes. She couldn't keep her mind off of Jon and decided to occupy herself by working out. While she continuously worked out, she was unaware that Milena and Renee had walked in.
"Mel. Mel. Mel! MEL!" Milena shouted, making her stop. "You've been going at it so harshly. Relax,"
Melanie exhaled and readjusted herself. She was trying to occupy herself for weeks to get her mind off of Jon. Milena and Renee already made her feel guilty about being upset with him and didn't want to see him at all, right now. Luckily with the new storyline change, she wouldn't have to be around him often. At least for now because of what Creative plans on doing with her, Milena, Jon, and Colby in the future. Creative wanted to spice things up around Money in The Bank, and SummerSlam.
"Sorry...just lost in thought," Melanie admitted and downed a few gulps of water.
"I'll say. Have you talked to Jon, yet?" Renee crossed her arms.
"No..." The Philly Diva grumbled.
"You should. He's worried about you." Milena suggested.
"Very," Renee added. "We were just trying to help."
"I know...I know and I'm thankful for that." Melanie smiled.
"He's not mad at you for being angry. But he just wants you to understand why he did what he did."
"You're right. Look I'll be talking to him, soon."
"Promise?" Milena asked.
"Yes," Melanie nodded.
"Great. Just let me know if you two need this hotel room to catch up. Milena and I already made plans to sleep someplace else." Renee giggled, making Melanie crack an amused smile. "I'm heading to the store. You two want anything?"
"Grapes, please!" Melanie grinned.
"Only if you talk to Jon, like right now." Renee gave her a stern look.
"I will, I will."
"You better." She grabbed her bag and left.
"I'm taking a long bath." Milena headed to the bathroom.
"You need anything?" Melanie asked.
"Nah." She shut the door
"Okay, enjoy your bath."
"I shall!"
Melanie exhaled and checked her phone. 'I'll make a quick stop, then I'll talk to him.' She thought as she grabbed her handbag, and left the hotel room.
-----
At a local bar once again, Melanie found Greg sitting at an empty table, waiting for her. He looked her way and waved as she sat across from him.
"5 minutes," she announced.
"Come on, not this again. Can I have a normal hang out with you?"
"Nope."
He sighed. "Well, how were the grapes?"
"...Delicious."
"I'm glad." He eyed her up and down.
"Eyes up here, or I'll stab them."
"Feisty. I missed that. Then again, you were never that feisty back then," He chuckled. "I Wonder what happened."
"I grew up, instead of acting like a love sick little girl."
"I see. Well, you look beautiful, tonight."
"...Thanks..." She mumbled.
"And that green shirt really brings out your beautiful eyes. Gorgeous. And that skirt...wow. You've really gotten stronger over the years from wrestling,"
"Uh huh..." she responded bluntly.
"Melanie...look, I really want us again." He put a hand on top of hers. "I know what I've done was unforgivable, but I still love you. I never realized how much of a good woman you are until we broke up. But I promise, if we get back together, I will treat you like a queen,"
"That sounds really cliché..." She snorted and removed her hand.
"I know it does, but I really mean it. You're smart, sexy, independent, you got your head on straight. You're goal oriented. And I love that in a woman. I'll do anything for you to be in my arms again." He tried to sweet talk. "Just let me be the man for you. Let me be the man you marry and have kids with."
Suddenly, she noticed him trying to lean forward for a kiss and she immediately shoved him away with all her strength, taking him off guard.
"What the hell?" he exclaimed with annoyance in his voice.
She chuckled. "This is what I came here for. To let you know to stay away from me and that somebody already beat you to it. I'm with Jon,"
I'm with Jon...she said it proudly and she found herself truly missing him after all this time. She may have been upset with Jon these past weeks, but she was still in love with him, and that will never change.
Greg was taken aback. "The fuck? You're with Jon? Are you serious? Please tell me you're fucking with me,"
"Yeah. I am with him. So, cut the crap you've been doing. This little bullshit act. I can see right through you. I mean, did you honestly think I was gonna wait for you, all these years? That I still had feelings for you? I'm not smitten with you, anymore."
He clenched his fists and started to get angry, before showing off a smug look. "Ah...so that street dog got you smitten eh? He wanted you so badly that he decided to keep you away from me. He swept you off your feet, didn't he? Can't say I'm surprised...you are easy. And to think it took me a few months for you to be in my arms. I wasted my time..."
Melanie smirked. There was the Greg she knew. The arrogant bastard. He used to call her every name in the book when he didn't get his way.
He chuckled and shook his head. "I can't believe you downgraded. You're still as stupid as ever. I made you ya know."
"You didn't make shit, dickhead..." She fired back.
"Shut your fucking mouth, you little bitch." Greg slammed his fist into the table as she looked amused at him for getting upset since she was getting under his skin. "You've gotten hotter over the years. You could work a little bit on the chest but your ass is fine. Including those legs. I'm surprised you're with that piece of shit. Or are you with him because you pity him, and what he's been through? Is that it? Well, I've been through worse! Where the fuck were you all these years?"
"Oh, I don't know...making love to the man I love? Enjoying my wrestling career? Not thinking of you, that's for sure. You're the last thing on my mind."
"Why would you be so stupid and choose him over me? He's a bad influence on you."
"That's where you're wrong. He busted his ass to get where he is today. He's the coolest best guy friend I have ever had, and the best boyfriend ever. All the sacrifices he's made, and all that he went through to keep me away from you, makes me grateful that I have someone who just doesn't want me for my body. Someone who actually cares for me and doesn't call me every name in the book. And besides...he's more of a man than you'll ever be."
"You and that shitty attitude of yours. You're still that little girl, I dated years ago. But I can make a woman out of ya,"
"No, you can't, asshole,"
"Now listen here you little shit—"
"No. You listen to me." She stood up. "And if you ever talk to me like that again, I'll kick your ass,"
"Empty threats...I own you, Melanie. You need me,"
"You are so full of shit." She punched him hard in the face as he held his jaw and stood up.
She suddenly kicked him in the groin, making him groan and drop down to his knees. She let out a breath. That felt great.
"Listen and listen well. I didn't come down here because I missed you. I came down here to look at how worthless you are. How does it feel that you're never going to experience this? A good woman? Doesn't feel good, does it?" she tilted her head, glaring at him.
Greg shot her a dirty look and managed to stand up. "You fucking c—" He tried to strike her but his fist got caught by an enraged Jon.
Melanie was startled that Jon was there. Did he follow her? Did Milena and Renee find out she was gone for a long period of time?
Jon shoved Greg into a couple of empty tables. His face was filled with frustration and rage while he snarled. "Now you're about to get killed."
Melanie, still startled at the turn of events, turned her head to Jon, giving him an astonished look.
"B—Babe!" She exclaimed, after getting herself together.
She earned a growl from Jon in response as he started stalking over to Greg.
"That is the last time you're gonna touch her," Jon growled.
"It was self defense! She punched me!" Greg exclaimed. "And I don't appreciate you putting your fuckin' hands on me!"
"That doesn't mean dick to me!"
Greg stood up and tried to lunge at him, but got pushed back by Melanie, as she stood between them.
"No, no, no, stop it. Both of you! Do not do this petty crap in public!" She exclaimed.
There were already people looking at the trio. All she wanted to do was stand up to Greg and never see him again, but now things had just gotten worse. Great...from the stares and people filming she could already see the headlines now. Two WWE Superstars were involved in a disruption at a local bar after the show.
"Here comes Jonny boy. Melanie's Superman. Always stickin' his nose where it doesn't belong. Why don't you get outta here?" Greg tried to act tough but got his collar gripped up by him. "Get your fuckin' hands off of me, man!"
He shoved him back and they started to have a shoving match.
"Guys! Enough!" Melanie exclaimed as Milena and Renee rushed over to the trio to help break it up.
"All right, that's enough, for now," Renee spoke up.
"What kind of man are you, to try and put your hands on a woman?" Jon glared at him.
"He did what?" Milena looked at Jon and then Melanie.
"This son of a bitch almost hit her..."
"Are you serious?!"
"You know what? We're done, here. I'll be back for you, honey." Greg said to Melanie.
That hit a nerve.
"Don't ever call me honey. And if you ever call me honey again, I'll rip your tongue out, so you won't even taste the sweetness of honey anymore. You don't own me. And you don't tell me what to do, or call me names, dick." The Philly Diva threatened, earning a chuckle from him as he left.
She exhaled. That felt good. While giving herself a mental pat on the back, she witnessed Jon storming out of the bar.
"W—whoa wait, where are you going?!" She started following him, along with Milena and Renee.
"To put his head on a STICK! I'm not done with that motherfucker!" He made a frustrated growl and continued pacing around, making Milena uncomfortable at the sight. "He makes me so mad! I swear to fuckin' God if I ever see him around you again...I am gonna hurt him...so...so bad!"
"C—can you not talk in a Moxley promo?" Melanie tried to calm him down, but that only motivated him as he put his hands on her shoulders.
"Babe, I'm gonna make him scream so loud, that he's gonna tell me, with the gurglin' sound that he makes...that he'll never...ever give you any thought, ever again. He's gonna get fuckin' dropped. I want his blood on my hands,"
"Jon, Un-Mox yourself right now, would you please? Can you please just calm down?"
"Just don't kill him. Hurt him. Don't kill him." Renee reminded.
"Too late. And when I find him, his ass is done. That worthless sack of shit is gonna get everything handed to him." Jon released her and stormed off.
"Jon!" Melanie got grabbed back Renee and Milena.
"Greg deserves an ass kicking." Renee stated.
"He does but not in public! What are Paul and Stephanie gonna think if this gets out of control?"
"You know the Levesques and WWE higher ups have been preventing Greg from all WWE events? Paul and Stephanie have done everything they can to make sure Greg didn't try to do anything crazy during the events. But for him to go this far and to almost punch you in the face...why did you have to leave, like that? I wish you could have told one of us and we would have gone with you." Renee frowned.
Melanie sighed. The guilt was setting in. She didn't realize that even Paul and Stephanie were involved in this. It was time to own up and apologize for getting so defensive and worked up on the situation when they were all only trying to help.
"I'm sorry, guys. I should have listened to you. Maybe it was for the best that I didn't know...I just wanted to handle this shit myself and move forward,"
"Mel, we love you." Renee gave her a hug. "And we just want you to be safe. I think it was best that you did know, because of how you stood up to him,"
"Yeah, that was funny. I'm glad you did." Milena smiled and gave her a long, warm embrace. "Let's head back to the hotel room."
"What about Jon?" Melanie asked.
"It's best to give him some space and let him take care of Greg with the guys," Renee replied. "Everything is under control."
"I hope so..." she mumbled as they headed back to their hotel room door and they saw Danielle and Nikki standing there.
"Melanie! I heard what happened, are you okay?" Danielle embraced her.
"Two guys fighting over you...must be hot. I wish..." Nikki chuckled.
"Nicole." Milena frowned.
"Sorry, bad timing." Nikki put her hands up in defense. "How are you feeling, Mel?"
"I just want to know where Jon is." She replied as they all walked into the room.
"I saw him, Colby, Joe, Stu, and Randy leave the hotel. They seemed pretty pissed." Danielle informed.
"I don't blame them." Milena crossed her arms.
"Is there anything we can do, to make you a little happier? Boost up your mood?" Nikki suggested.
"Nah. But thanks. I'll be in the bedroom." Melanie replied.
"Okay, we'll be in the living room," Renee replied as the girls said their goodnights to Melanie.
Melanie headed into the bedroom and got on her bed. The former Shield's girl stretched her legs, while under the covers, enjoying the warmth after getting some goosebumps from the air vent. She exhaled and started to think about Jon, again. The feeling of being alone without him, tonight, was starting to become unbearable.
----------
Jon was in his hotel room, pacing around. His fists were bruised up and bloody from punching Greg into next week. He felt himself getting more worked up as he thought of more ways he should have hurt him. But he knew that he wouldn't be messing with Melanie anymore, after what he and the boys did to him.
"Where is he?" Colby asked as he walked with Joe, Randy, and Stu.
Jon was way in front of them, stalking around.
"He better be praying that we'll show him mercy after I'm done with him." Stu pounded his fists.
Being a bare knuckle brawler was a huge advantage to make sure Greg got a beating he deserved.
"How's Mel?" Randy asked.
"She's doing all right. She's back in her room with the girls." Colby informed. All of sudden they see Jon dashing across the streets. "I think he found him!" He shouted as they quickly followed him.
Meanwhile, with Jon, he began chasing Greg all over the streets.
"Get away from me, man!" Greg shouted in a hurried voice.
Jon lunged at him and tackled him down, in an alleyway, as he let out a pained grunt.
"L—look man, I'll stay away from her. Just let me go, man. Let me go. I'm sorry man—"
"Oh, now you're sorry? Now you're fuckin' sorry!?" Jon shouted and roughly lifted him up and threw him into a wall, before punching him hard in the face, repeatedly, while the guys caught up.
Jon smirked at the memory, but it wasn't enough. He should have done more but the guys pulled him off of him and got a couple of hits in, too. He should have broken something. He should have broken his nose, or jaw. But a bloody and bruised face might have been enough.
Jon let out a frustrated growl and punched the front door.
"Dammit!" He shouted as he continued to pace around.
He wished that he could go back in time and redo the beating he had given Greg. Maybe adding more force into the punch to break a bone. Worn out from physical activities, he decided to take a shower, to try to calm himself down.
-------
Melanie tossed and turned in bed, trying to get some sleep but couldn't because Jon was still on her mind. She thought about visiting him but maybe he was still mad. Maybe she should wait until he calmed down.
"That's it." She got up.
No more procrastinating. Time to talk to Jon and clear things up. She put on a pair of gray sweatpants while still wearing her white tank top, and put on a pair of black & white Chuck Taylors.
"I'm gonna visit Jon." She informed the girls while grabbing her phone.
"Finally!" Renee grinned. "Please be careful."
"I will, don't worry." She smiled and left the room.
After a few minutes, she arrived at his hotel room door and let out a sigh as she looked at the door with nervousness. She took a step back and turned around to walk away but turned back around to face the door, reluctantly looking at it.
"Don't be a coward..." She mumbled to herself and timidly knocked on the door.
The door was quickly swung open to reveal Joe who smiled brightly.
"Hey, grapes. It's great to see that you're OK," he let her in.
"Hey, thank you. Is Jonny here?"
"Just got done taking a shower. He was trying to cool himself down and wash the blood off." The Samoan informed.
Melanie was taken aback by his sudden explanation and widened her eyes.
"B—blood!? You guys didn't kill him, did you? Is Jon okay?! Are you okay!? Are the guys okay?"
Joe laughed at The Outspoken Diva's rambling, which calmed her down. "Nah. We didn't kill him. Even though Jon really wanted to. But Greg got an ass whooping of a lifetime. He won't be bothering you, anymore. He's actually afraid of your boy, now. I think it's hilarious. We're fine, Mel. But enough about the guys, what about you? Are YOU okay, baby girl? Tell me the truth,"
She ran a hand through her wavy hair and nodded twice. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're okay. Jon was really worried about you. We all were. Just don't scare us like that. Especially Milena. She started freaking out like crazy,"
"I can only imagine..."
"I'm heading out to see Colby and Randy. I'll let you and your boy talk it out." He pulled her in for a friendly hug and kissed her forehead.
He exited the room while having his phone in his hands. Melanie relaxed on the couch and waited for Jon to get done in the bathroom. She spent some time watching the local news for weather updates, and checking her Twitter, to favorite and retweet her fans tweets. After ten minutes, she heard the door open to reveal Jon in his dark blue pajama pants, with no shirt. He was drying his face with a small white towel but stopped, once he saw his girlfriend, giving him an apologetic smile.
Surprised she came to visit, he continued to remain silent, while he put the towel down, and gazed at her. He truly missed her and was happy she was here.
"...Hey." She greeted, in a tight voice.
She could still see the anger in his body language. The shower did not calm him down at all. Jon's body, and messy hair was still damp from the shower, as he made his way to his suitcase.
"We...need to talk." She stood up from the couch.
He unzipped his suitcase and turned his attention to her. "Oh, now you wanna talk..." He gruffed and started pacing around the hotel room, again.
"C—can you stop pacing and just sit down—"
"No. I've been trying to talk to you for weeks! I've been worried sick about you!" He stopped pacing around.
Melanie's annoyance started to get the better of her. "Well I'm fine, thank you, very much,"
"Yeah, thanks Captain Obvious. I see that, thanks to me. Now what would have happened if Milena & Renee hadn't told me you were gone, and Greg punched you? Then what?"
"I was prepared for it. I would have stopped it."
"And what if you couldn't?"
She sighed loudly. "Stop with the what ifs, okay? Don't make me feel any guiltier than I already am,"
"Guilty, huh?" He sat on the edge of the bed. "So, now you wanna go back to him? Make him boss you around again? Treating you like a—"
She crossed her arms. "No one makes me do what I don't want to do. He can't control me, anymore. I'm never going down that road, again."
After a moment of silence, she decided to speak up again as she approached him. "...Thank you. For earlier. You saved me. Even years ago when you told me to get out of the relationship. If it wasn't for you, I would still be in that toxic relationship. I still would have been trapped. These past few weeks have been crazy but it got me thinking about me, you, our relationship, and the future,"
Jon's expression changed into anxiousness. "...y—you...wanna break up with me?"
"Oh my gosh..." She chuckled and hit him on the head, feeling his damp, messy hair, brush against her fingertips.
"Ouch. What was that for?" He rubbed his head.
"You're ridiculous. No, I don't want to break up with you. I never do." She explained, making him feel relieved.
"Then what have you been thinking about?" He calmed down, giving her his full attention, and not thinking about graphic scenarios about Greg dying.
"I realized...I just want my life to be with you..." She said in a soft voice.
Jon started to show a soft expression, replaying the sentence his girlfriend just said. She wants her life to be with him. And only him. The way she said it with seriousness and with love, made him crack a small smile. He wasn't a professional at romantic things, but over the years he's become a softie whenever they were alone together, despite his laid back attitude.
"No matter how much I want to stay mad at you...I can't. And I'm sorry for lashing out at you and that I didn't listen to you," she continued. "I guess I just never realized how much you care. How everyone cares. For you to go through all that. Night and day. Just to make sure I was safe and that he didn't come after me. And a while ago you kicked his ass. I'm glad you did. What am I gonna do with you?"
"Keep me," He stood up and wrapped a muscled arm around her waist, making her top a little damp.
"Hm...I dunno...I could..." She ran a hand down his cool chest.
"You should." He smirked and wrapped his other arm around her waist, to embrace her as he caught a whiff of her perfume.
She knew how territorial he was with her, and was grateful for the trouble he and everyone else went through to keep her safe. She felt safe in his arms. She knew that everything was going to be all right.
"I'm gonna go. I'll let you have your space, and continue to cool down. I'll see you tomorrow." She pulled away, turned around, and headed for the door but he stopped her with a gentle, but firm hand. "What's wrong?"
He got behind her and pushed her hair behind one of her ears, to reveal the other side of her neck, completely bare.
"What are we waiting for?" He rasped out.
"Waiting for what?" She shivered as he lightly caressed her arms before sliding his hands down her waist and resting on her hips, admiring her curves.
He grabbed her hips and pulled her back, closer to them, making sure there was no space between them. He had been fighting his arousal for her ever since he saw her on the couch, but couldn't take it anymore. He missed her. He missed holding her, and he missed loving her, physically.
"Lanie..." He whispered in her ear, in a husky voice before lightly kissing her neck. "It's been weeks. Do you know how badly I want you, right now?"
"I—I have no idea. How about you show me."
"You sure? Last chance to reconsider. If you stay, we're not going to be sleeping anytime soon. We have a lot of catching up to do."
She turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Stop talking."
She pulled him in for a passionate kiss. He smiled into the kiss and placed his hands on her ass to lift her up, making her wrap her legs around his waist.
"You're frisky tonight. I thought you were angry." she teased.
"Oh, I still am," He threw her on the bed and crawled on top of her, giving her a mischievous look. "And I'm gonna take all my anger and frustrations out on you,"
In the morning, the couple slept in bed, in a spooning position. Melanie felt Jon's muscular arms around her waist, again, making her feel warm and safe. He gave her a soft, kiss on the cheek, making her smile.
"You okay?" He asked, in a gentle tone.
"Yeah. I'm glad I stayed."
"Me too."
"Another thing, remind me to never let you wait so long, ever again. I don't know what it is about your animalistic behavior at times but it's a big turn on,"
"I think it's because you drive me nuts. In a good way." He said as she turned to face him, pulling him in for another smooch.
---------
At the hotel pool, Melanie was lounging in a chair with Milena, Renee, and Nikki.
"Hey, Mel you didn't come back last night. Something happen?" Milena asked.
"She got laid." Nikki declared.
"Nicole!" Melanie exclaimed.
"What? You did, right? That had to be the reason you stayed the night. It was about time. You two just needed to release all that frustration,"
"I do feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders," she admitted.
"See? I'm right. If Jon gets a tour bus, make sure the bed has a mirror on the ceiling. You can watch yourself, while you're doing it. It is so hot,"
"Okay! Okay! On to a more appropriate topic." Renee spoke up and chuckled.
"Can I have some fruit salad?" Melanie asked, looking at Renee's bowl of fruit salad, next to her.
"No way!"
"What? Why not? It has grapes!"
"Because you only eat the grapes in a fruit salad, and leave the other fruit untouched," Renee pointed out.
The Philly Diva hesitated. "I...I manage..."
Milena giggled. "Sure. We need to take you to Grape Rehab for your grape addiction,"
"Dude, I am not addicted to grapes." Melanie guaranteed.
"I would love to know how you don't get tired of eating the same fruit almost every day." Nikki pointed out.
"I also get a kick out at how catering made Melanie her own grape bowl, so everyone else can have the other bowl." Renee smiled at the memory.
"Oh yeah! I also remember her trying to take a few grapes from everyone's bowl. It was hilarious!" Milena laughed.
"But it's so good. And juicy. And sour. And sweet." Melanie daydreamed about her grapes.
"Catch." Renee tossed a grape at her, and she caught it in her mouth with ease.
"Another!" Melanie took off her sunglasses.
"Let me take a video." Nikki took out her phone to go on the camera app. "Okay, go!"
Renee started tossing grapes at Melanie, as she swiftly caught each one in her mouth.
"Go Melly!" Milena clapped.
Renee laughed. "You're a trip."
"Thank you, thank you very much," Melanie said in her Elvis voice while putting a thumbs up to Nikki's camera.
"Got it. Now that's a keeper." Nikki posted the video on all her social media profiles.
Melanie stood up and stretched. She adjusted her rainbow colored two piece before sitting around the pool side, putting her legs on the water. Unknown to her, Colby started sneaking up behind her, while Nikki caught him on camera.
"Smack cam!" Colby smacked her with his bare hand and tried to dash away.
"Hey! Get back here!" She managed to grab the back of his jeans, pulling him down on the ground as she started beating him up.
"Damn! She got him, quick!" Jon Uso shouted with his brother, while the divas laughed.
"Ah! Mel! All right, you win!" Colby managed to escape and laughed with her.
Forced To Believe 68- They Can't Control Me

Summary: Morgan tries to make history. Seth continues his mind games.
Words: 9,000+
-----
Stephanie, Seth, and Triple H were chatting in their office and Morgan walked into a huge pop.
"Well, you got some nerve to come in here after how you disrespected my husband and myself last week." Stephanie glared at her. "What are you doing here?"
Morgan ignored her and turned her attention to Triple H. "I want to be in the Money in the bank briefcase match." She spoke up with seriousness as the crowd cheered for the idea.
"What!?" King shouted in a high pitched voice.
The Authority was taken aback at her seriousness about the match as they glanced at each other. Stephanie started to laugh, while Seth smirked.
"You? A diva? In the Money in The Bank match? That's a nice joke,"
"Does it look like I'm joking?" Morgan instantly asked.
"W—what!? You can't just barge in here and drop a bombshell like that! Are you crazy!? Hunter we are not having a Diva be the WWE World Heavyweight champion if she is a part of this match. Having a WWE diva like her represent this company! It will be embarrassing!"
"Steph, I got this." Triple H reassured. "So Morgan...you're one of our toughest divas and you want, out of all things, is a spot in the Money in The Bank briefcase match?"
"Yes," The Outspoken Diva replied.
"She lost a screw..." JBL stated. "Is she crazy?"
"Why not a title shot?" Triple H suggested.
"No."
"Why are you so determined to be in this match?"
"To make history."
"And you expect me to give you that opportunity after what you said to me, last week?"
"No...I don't...but I'll earn it."
Triple H began to ponder. "Earn it, huh...?"
"Let her have a match," Seth suggested, making Morgan look his way. "I'd like to see the look on your face when you lose tonight."
"Hmph...So what are you gonna do? Have me in a handicap match against all the divas in the locker room, to be in the match?" The Outspoken Diva asked.
"That would be nice," Stephanie said, admiring the idea.
"Make me have one hand tied behind my back?"
"That's even better." Stephanie pointed out.
Triple H snapped his fingers. "I got it. Tonight, in the main event...you will have a match against Randy Orton. And if you win, you'll get a spot in the match. You will be the first WWE Diva in history to be a part of the Money in The Bank Ladder match,"
"Actually make it a no disqualification match," Seth suggested.
"I don't care what match you do. As long as I'm in that's all that matters," Morgan replied, not liking the mischievous look on Seth's face.
"All right, a no disqualification match against Randy Orton." Triple H stated.
Although she was surprised at the match and how it wasn't a handicap match, she accepted the offer.
She nodded twice. "Good."
She went to leave but stopped as soon as Stephanie spoke up. "But...Seth, Rosa, Kane, my husband and I will be at ringside."
"Ah...I see where this is going..." Morgan retorted. "Is that why you said no disqualification?"
"You're correct. And Morgan...if you lose this match...let's just say you're not going to have a job, anymore." Stephanie laughed as the crowd booed.
"Are you kidding me?" She stepped up to her.
The Billion Dollar Princess looked down at her, in her heels. "It's okay to back out now. Would you actually risk your career to try to be in this match?" She asked as Triple H looked amused. "You really think you can beat Randy Orton? But like you said, you'll get through anything against all odds. Let's see how you do in this match. I can't wait for this. I can't wait to get a front row seat, because I want to personally wish you luck in your future when I say the words... you're...FIRED!"
Morgan narrowed her eyes at her, before looking at Seth and then Triple H.
"You see how harder things get when you decide not to join me?" Seth recalled.
"Unlike you, I like a challenge," Morgan smirked. "I'll do it. Orton and I tonight. It's on," she left the room to loud cheers.
"What!? Morgan, it's not too late to reconsider!" King warned.
-----
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Morgan Lopez." Renee smiled as the camera revealed Morgan. "Morgan, tonight may be your last match, what is going through your mind? Why are you risking your career to be in this match?"
"Nervous. But sometimes you gotta take risks. I don't regret what I've done. I made history before, and I want to continue making history. I came into the WWE with a few goals in mind. And one of them is what I'm trying to do now. Right now, I'm on my toes because I got a strong feeling The Authority is going to try something, tonight. But whatever they do, I'll cut right through."
After her interview and saying her goodbyes to Vickie Guerrero after Stephanie got humiliated by getting thrown into the pool of whatever that stuff was, it had given her some hope, that there was a chance that she could get through this. Vickie went out with a bang even though she lost her match against Stephanie. She wasn't going to allow Stephanie to push her around any longer.
She put on her fingerless gloves and sighed while sitting on a bench. All of a sudden, the crowd laughed once she saw Bo Dallas sitting next to her, looking ahead with a silly grin.
"Uh...can I help you?" She asked, looking confused.
Bo turned his head and patted her back. "Morgan, turn that frown upside down. Keep your chin up. Everything is gonna be okay! Just hang in there."
"Right..."
"You want to be in the Money in The Bank briefcase match? Then take the chance. Chase that opportunity down because it won't wait for you, to catch up. You can do it, Morgan. All you gotta do is BOlieve!" He gave her a big grin and jogged away, to do a victory lap.
"Okay..." Morgan chuckled as the crowd laughed. "That was random."
------
Triple H and Seth talk about Money in The Bank in his office as the audience booed them.
"There's no other way, you heard what he said out there. I don't wanna be this close from grabbing that contract and have him come out of nowhere, and ruin it for me. If he's gonna screw me over, every single chance that he gets...you gotta put Dean Ambrose in this match." Seth demanded. "You gotta put Dean Ambrose in this contract ladder match, with me, please. You got to."
"You want him when you can control him?" Triple H asked.
"I know it sounds crazy. I've controlled Dean Ambrose for two years, in The Shield. I need him where I can see him. I need to have eyes on Dean Ambrose at all times."
"Actually, wasn't his Harley the one who controlled him? And speaking of his Harley, what are you gonna do if she gets in this match, as well? Two targets on your back. Then what?"
Seth chuckled. "Morgan? Don't worry about her...I got her. It's her last match in the WWE, against Randy Orton. And we're all gonna be at ringside. She's not gonna win when I'm around. I know all of her moves and I know her tricks. I know her better than anyone. She will not be in this match. All I gotta focus on is Ambrose. Please. And besides I want to see the look on Dean Ambrose's face when I'm the one standin' on that ladder, with the contract in my hands. Crushing his dreams..."
"If this all blows up in your face...Dean making you lose...and Morgan winning tonight...it's going to be on you. You wanted the no DQ, and you wanted Ambrose in the match. You never know what's gonna happen, now. I hope you know what you're in for."
"I got this."
Triple H chuckled and patted his back. "Love your confidence man...you got him. Dean's in."
With Morgan, Nikki was chatting with her backstage but left once Seth walked over to them.
"What the hell do you want?" Morgan retorted and chose to keep talking instead of listening to what he had to say. "I'm in no mood for games when I got a big match coming up. And when I win tonight, I'm coming to Boston, and when I do, I'm gonna make sure you feel every ounce of pain that you put me through. You shouldn't have made an enemy out of me, Seth. Biggest mistake,"
"I tried to warn you, Morgan. I tried to warn you to stay away from this. From my business. Now you've gotten yourself in a bad situation. You don't have to do this. You could forget the match,"
"And waste an opportunity throwing you off a ladder? That's my dream!" She said with an ambitious look.
He chuckled and nodded, while the crowd cheered at her comment.
"Suit yourself. Did you pack your bags, yet? Keep in mind this is a no disqualification match. I wouldn't be so enthusiastic about that. Considering that I'm gonna be at ringside. I'm looking forward to my boot going down on the back of your head, and your face laid down on the mat. I just wish it didn't have to be this way. Goodbye Morgan. I enjoyed the time I spent with you. If only you would turn to the dark side with me. We'd be unstoppable," He smirked at her and walked away.
She shook her head and continued stretching. But Seth's words started to get to her. Anything could happen tonight. The Authority could all just jump her, and it wouldn't even be a match. They could hold her legs down while Randy goes for the pin. They could hold her down while she got hit with a weapon. Anything was possible and she was not looking forward to it.
------
Randy Orton was pacing around with an amused look on his face. He was glad The Authority picked him to personally make Morgan leave the company. He still held a grudge against her and was going to make sure she paid. At ringside, The Authority were already plotting their plan for the match, awaiting her arrival.
"You think Morgan has a game plan for tonight?" King asked, sounding concerned. "I don't want her to leave..."
"She brought this on herself." JBL bluntly replied. "Why risk your career for Money in The Bank? It's the dumbest move."
Backstage, Morgan was listening to the doubts and looking at the tweets fans were saying. She cracked a smile. Her real fans never forget to realize that she has the unpredictable gene just like Dean. She was going to prove that in a couple of seconds. She wasn't going to go down without a fight. And if she had to leave with a bang, she will. But if she stays, she'll make sure to represent all the women at Money in The Bank. The first beats for her theme blared around the arena as the crowd started whooping and giving her a loud pop.
"Introducing the challenger, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Morgan!" Justin announced as she walked out with a huge smile and taunted the crowd.
"This may be the last time we hear Morgan's name get announced here in the WWE!" King exclaimed. "I got goosebumps. I'm scared guys."
"Stop whining!" JBL scolded.
"I have now been informed that if anyone interferes in this match, they will be fired on the spot," Cole informed.
"Looks like she is all alone," King whined.
"But Morgan still has her head up high. She said she's not scared to do things alone now. She doesn't want her former teammates to help her, through this. She wants to deal with this mess herself." Cole quoted.
As soon as Morgan finishes tagging some hands, she gets on the apron. She steps in between the ropes but stops herself. Orton raises a brow, while she begins to chuckle. This might be her last match, so why make it memorable by doing something she has wanted to do for a while? The crowd begins to explode into loud cheers as soon as she clotheslines Triple H and Stephanie down.
"What the hell!?" JBL shouted.
"Morgan! Morgan just clotheslined The Authority!" Cole shouted as she started pummeling down Stephanie.
Rosa, Seth, and Kane were still in shock as they continued to see what she was doing.
"Has she lost her mind!? She can't do that! Arrest her! Fire her! Do something! That is assault! Stephanie isn't even in the match! Get off of her!" JBL shouted, not liking what was transpiring in front of him.
The crowd begins to chant 'This Is Awesome' as the bell still did not ring, yet. Rosa quickly grabs Morgan off of Stephanie.
"Hit her! Hit her!" She commanded Kane, who fixed his black glove.
"And now the numbers game comes into play," Cole observed as Stephanie and Triple H were still down.
Morgan continues struggling to get out of Rosa's strong grip while Kane goes for an uppercut. The Outspoken Diva quickly escapes the hold, just in time, making Rosa eat the uppercut, as the crowd 'Ohs'.
"Oh my gosh! Is Rosa okay!?" King exclaimed as she fell down, knocked out.
Kane, not caring about her well being, turns his attention back to Morgan. The Philly Diva connects with a low blow, making him fall down to his knees.
"This cannot be happening!" JBL rubbed his temples.
Orton continues to look on, his facial expression unreadable as he continues to observe his opponent. She quickly starts speed walking after Rollins, who starts walking back.
"Oh great...I think Miss Lopez wants some closure before she leaves. How dare she attack Stephanie McMahon? That's a ticket to unemployment city!" JBL complained.
"Back up." Morgan demanded in a harsh tone as Seth started backing up, faster, putting his hands up in defense.
Seth sees Orton slithering out of the ring, behind her. Orton dashes towards her, aiming for a clothesline but she ducks, watching him clothesline Seth, instead. Orton's eyes widen and turns around to be jumped on by the spitfire diva as she starts giving him frenzied punches.
"Morgan's out of control! Somebody stop her! Thank you!" JBL shouted as Seth grabbed her off of Orton.
"You need to calm down," Seth exclaimed and rolled her in the ring.
"The hell was that!?" Triple H shouted as he got up and held the side of his neck. "Are you kidding me!? Are you kidding me!?"
He starts pacing around, taking off his jacket, and tie, unbuttoning the first three buttons on his shirt. He was vexed with Morgan's actions, so far and didn't like that his plan wasn't doing so good. His face showing an angry expression, red with frustration, as he continues to yell and scream.
"This was not supposed to happen!"
"Haha! This is great!" Cole laughed as the crowd laughed at Triple H.
The crowd was still getting a kick out at how he got clotheslined by Morgan, so easily. Morgan took off her hoodie, with her gloved hands, leaving her in a Morgan themed cut off shirt that stopped just above her belly button.
Stephanie finally got up and scowled at the diva. "You are going to regret this!" She screamed and got on the apron with her husband.
Kane, Seth and Randy get on the other sides while Rosa was still knocked out.
"Now the numbers game is really coming into play," Cole said as Morgan got held down by Orton and Kane, while the ref tried to restore order.
"The match didn't even start yet. Come on! This isn't fair!" King exclaimed while Stephanie gave Morgan a stinging slap in the face.
"Do you know who I am!? I made you into this company! My husband and I made you into the wrestler you are, today! You do not disrespect me! Do you hear me!?" She yelled in her face, as she continued to give her slaps.
Morgan was released as she stood on her hands and knees.
"No...No not like this! Not this way!" Cole shouted as the crowd cheered with anticipation, seeing Triple H bending Morgan forward and placing her head in between his legs, setting up for the pedigree.
"Pedigree!" He called out as Morgan landed down on her face, on the mat, motionless.
"Finish her." Triple H ordered as he got out of the ring with the others, leaving Orton to stalk his prey.
The ref reluctantly rings for the bell as the crowd boos. Orton shows a serpent smile and goes for the pin.
"1!"
"2!"
"And kick out by Morgan! How did she kick out of that!?" Cole exclaimed as the crowd cheered, loudly.
Triple H narrows his eyes, while Stephanie does not look happy.
"Don't worry. I got this." Seth reassured The Authority.
Orton begins to stalk Morgan, waiting for her to get up. He decides to walk back to a corner and rocks back and forth while holding the ropes on each side. The crowd begins to cheer with anticipation again while Morgan begins to get on her hands and knees.
"Oh no. No. Orton don't do this!" Cole begged.
"This is going to be over quick," JBL called out while Orton runs up to Morgan.
She quickly evades his punt kick and rolls him up for a pin, making the crowd go wild.
"1!"
"2!"
"Oh, and Orton kicked out at two! So close! That would have been an upset." Cole called out.
Morgan starts fighting back with clotheslines and runs to the ropes, only to get her ankles grabbed by Seth as she falls down, face first. The crowd boos while Seth taunts the crowd.
"And Seth Rollins...Morgan needs to keep an eye out for The Authority. Just as she was gaining momentum, it gets taken away from her, by The Authority. Things aren't looking good." Cole continued as Orton hit her with a swinging neckbreaker and got a two count.
The Viper starts stomping all over her body as she lays down on her back, while Stephanie claps.
"That's what I'm talking about. Make her suffer!" She ordered.
Orton stomps hard on her left arm, making her yell out in pain. Randy was starting to enjoy himself, inflicting pain on his opponent. He slides out of the ring and grabs a chair, from the time keepers area.
"Well, this is a no disqualification match. Anything goes." JBL said.
"No. The Authority just wants to finish Morgan off, for good." King grumbled.
"Well, maybe Morgan deserves to be finished off, for good for the lack of respect, she's giving The Authority."
"She doesn't deserve this. She just wants to make history. But she has to go through all this, to do it? It's not fair."
"Well, she said she'll earn a spot. And that's what she's trying to do."
Randy gets back in the ring while Morgan is back up to her feet. He lunges at her with the chair but she ducks. As soon as he turns around, she dropkicks the chair, to his face as the crowd erupts into cheers.
"And Morgan countered!" Cole shouted.
She makes Randy stand up and Irish whips him to a corner as she hits him with a handspring back elbow. Orton drops down and rolls over to the middle of the ring, while she gets on the top rope. Rosa, who finally manages to get back up, gets on the apron. She tries to distract The Outspoken diva but fails once she gets kicked off. She goes for a crossbody but the crowd 'Ohs' as soon as Randy gives her an RKO in midair while she rolls out of the ring.
"RKO!" JBL shouted.
"That has to be the best thing to happen to Morgan. It would have been over, there." Cole called out, as she remained motionless.
"Morgan is going through a rough time, trying to focus on the match, with all these distractions," King said while Randy hit her with a belly to back suplex on the barricade.
"This is what happens!" Orton shouted before throwing her into the steel steps.
"Good grief!" JBL exclaimed while Triple H patted Orton's back.
Orton takes off the top step and sets it down. He places Morgan's head on top of it, patiently waiting for her to stand up.
"I'm afraid of what he's going to do next," King said with concern while she began to stagger up on her hands and knees.
He decides to make her stand up, slowly and lifts up her chin, gazing at her groggy state. He tilts his head to the side, before hitting her with an RKO on the steel steps.
"RKO on the steel steps! Morgan is out." Cole observed. "W—wait what is he doing, now?" He asked while Orton slowly made her stand up, again.
"Not again!" King shouted as he gave her another RKO, while the crowd booed.
Stephanie starts mocking the yes chant while chanting 'Yes!' with a smug look.
"This wouldn't have happened if Morgan had just stayed in the diva's division and stopped getting into men's matches," JBL stated.
"Well, I think it's awesome that a WWE Diva wants to be in matches with male superstars," King replied.
"Of course you do..." JBL bluntly replied back.
"Morgan has not gotten much offense with The Authority on her back," Cole observed while Orton rolled her back in the ring.
He slides in the ring and goes for a pin but Morgan kicks out at two.
"What!?" Stephanie shouted as the crowd erupts into loud cheers. "No! Count again!"
The ref obeys as soon as Randy goes for the pin again but gets the same result.
"Don't worry. There's more punishment where that came from." Orton made her stand up again.
He tries to go for another RKO but she manages to push him again, to try to go for the Morganizer. Orton manages to evade it and tries to go for another RKO. She evades it again and hits him with a backfire, out of nowhere.
"Backfire! Backfire! Come on, Morgan! You can do it!" King cheered as she slowly went for the pin, but Orton kicked out at two.
The Philly Diva continues the offense by striking him with a couple of kicks before dropping him back down with a roundhouse kick. She turns around and quickly drops Kane, Rosa, & Triple H down with a suicide dive as the crowd gets hyped again.
"Morgan! Morgan again attacking The Authority!" Cole shouted while Stephanie's jaw dropped.
"She should be focusing on the match! She was in control Stupid!" JBL exclaimed.
"How is she stupid? She's trying to make sure the numbers game is in her favor!" King exclaimed.
She slides back in the ring before Seth can grab her, and swiftly hits Orton with a shining wizard. She slides back out of the ring and runs after Stephanie.
"Run Stephanie! Run!" JBL warned.
She manages to slide under Seth's legs and continues running after Stephanie. Unfortunately, she gets clotheslined down by Triple H, from behind as the crowd boos. He roughly rolls her back in the ring.
"Finish her! Now!" The COO ordered.
Orton drops Morgan down with a sick clothesline and drags her to the apron. He hits her with his signature rope hung DDT to continue the damage.
Morgan was in a lot of pain. The beating from Orton was one thing, but the constant cheap shots from The Authority were making her madder, and madder. Randy starts to do his signature taunt to the crowd, making the crowd boo loudly. He smirks while Morgan crawls over to his feet. She manages to give him a low blow.
"Morgan with that sneaky low blow! Smart move, can she capitalize?" Cole asked as she slowly started to get up, along with Orton.
She runs to the ropes but Randy manages to counter her upcoming attack with a scoop powerslam.
"1!"
"2!"
"Oh!"
"WHAT!? WHAT!? NO! NO!" Randy started banging on the mat and yelled at the ref, while the crowd erupted into loud cheers.
"Morgan kicked out! It was two!" King cheered.
"Barely..." JBL replied while Triple H face palmed.
"What a near fall! What heart!" Cole exclaimed while Orton continued arguing with the ref.
Morgan takes advantage by grabbing a chair and whacking his back with it.
"And now Morgan with the chair!" King shouted as she continued to unmercifully hit him with the chair.
After she was done, she positioned him for the Morganizer hold on the top rope.
"We've seen this before!" Cole reminded.
"But not on the chair!" King shouted as soon as Morgan hit Randy with her finisher, on the chair.
"1!"
"2!"
"Oh!" The crowd shouted as soon as Stephanie slid in the ring, to break up the pin.
"Oh, come on! Morgan had that won and you know it!" King shouted as the crowd booed loudly.
Stephanie started to taunt the crowd. "You should have stayed in the Diva's Division, Morgan. We didn't have to do this, but you left us no choice."
She pretends to act sorry while Morgan gets on her hands and knees and starts to seethe. Stephanie stops her taunting as she watches in shock at Morgan banging on the mat and screaming.
"Uh oh. This isn't good. You do not want to encounter this episode." Cole warned.
Stephanie takes a step back but then Morgan launches herself at her, unloading on her as the crowd chants 'Yes!'. But then Stephanie manages to escape. Seth slides into the ring to help Stephanie. Morgan tries to go for a kick but Seth effortlessly catches it and drops her down with a kick to the back of the head.
"Yeah! Get her! Get her!" Stephanie pointed out while Seth awaited her to get on her hands and knees.
As soon as she does, Seth goes for the curb stomp but The Outspoken diva outsmarts him by evading the stomp. She plants him down with a spinning heel kick to the face, making him fall out the ring.
"Morgan just dropped Seth Rollins!" Cole shouted as the crowd erupted into more cheers.
Stephanie's jaw drops again and tries to escape but gets grabbed by the crazed diva.
"Come on Morgan, she's a mother! She's a wife! You're not one of those things! How do you expect to be one of those things, if you're gonna be acting crazy!?" JBL exclaimed.
"If you don't shut up!" King scolded him.
Stephanie starts calling out to her husband while getting lifted up for the reverse GTS. The crowd starts chanting 'CM Punk!' before Morgan delivers the move.
"Are you kidding me?" JBL shouted as Stephanie rolled out the ring.
Rosa slides back in the ring but gets caught with the Morganzier before she rolls out of the ring. The crowd begins to chant 'This Is Awesome' while Morgan dropkicks Triple H off the apron, and onto Seth & Kane.
"And now the rest of The Authority is taken out!" Cole shouted while Morgan ducked Orton's big boot.
She quickly kicks him in the stomach and goes for a Chyna DDT on the chair.
"DDT! DDT! DDT! Can Morgan do it!? Can Morgan accomplish one of her goals in the WWE!?" Cole yelled in anticipation.
"1!"
"2!"
"3!"
"Oh my God!" Morgan screamed and quickly moved away from Orton's body, with her eyes widening.
The crowd gives her a big pop as her theme comes on. She puts her hands on her head, looking on with astonishment, that she just won the match, and won a spot in the MITB briefcase match.
"She did it!" Cole shouted.
"Yes! She did it!" King cheered.
"Here is your winner! And will be in the Money in The Bank briefcase match, Morgan Lopez!" Justin announced as the crowd cheered louder.
She gets her hand raised as her eyes start to water, with tears of joy.
"Let's go! Hell yeah!" The Outspoken Diva jumped up and down.
"No way! No way! This cannot be happening! I demand a rematch!" JBL shouted.
"Morgan did it! She did it! Yes!" King cheered happily, ignoring JBL's protests.
"Morgan has accomplished one of her dreams, here in the WWE," Cole announced. "This has to be very emotional for Morgan. This win means so much for her. She overcame all odds,"
Suddenly, she quickly flees the ring, as soon as The Authority tries to get her.
"NO! No~!" Stephanie screamed. "Why!? Why1? How did this happen!?"
Morgan runs up to the stage and taunts the crowd, while having a hand over her mouth, still in shock.
"You are gonna regret this, Morgan! This isn't the end!" Triple H shouted and started pacing around.
"You had one job! One friggin' job!" Seth complained to Kane, Rosa, and Randy.
"Didn't you say you got her!? Didn't you say you would handle her!? It's your frickin' fault I lost the damn match! Now look what happened!" Orton fired back while Triple H tried to separate them, getting in each other's faces, as the crowd looked amused.
"We are NOT havin' this right now!" Triple H shouted.
Everyone in The Authority was livid. First Ambrose, now Morgan? This was not good. This was bad. Not one but two crazed wrestlers in the ring? All hell was going to break loose.
"I knew this might have blown up in your face." Triple H said to Seth.
"I got this. Don't worry. Let her have her fun." Seth replied.
"This is going to be an interesting match, this Sunday. Morgan has made history. She is now the first WWE Diva to be a part of the Money in The Bank briefcase match," Cole informed.
"Congratulations! She deserves it, after what she's been through." King grinned.
"I told you! I told you!" Morgan shouted at The Authority, with tears of joy streaming down her face. "I told you I'd cut right through!" She taunts them again, as the crowd cheers.
She continues jumping up and down & twirling around the stage, pissing The Authority off even more.
"I love it when she's so happy!" King admired.

'Post Show'
"Dean," Tom called out, jogging up to him as he turned around, near the doors, backstage. "The news just came from Triple H. Seth Rollins vouched for you to be in the Money in The Bank ladder match, you're in the Money in The Bank, this Sunday."
"Hahaha." Dean laughed out loud and slapped the door, showing a huge grin on his face. "I knew it. I knew he would. He really didn't have a choice because I was gonna show up in Boston, anyway. Y'know I already uh, kind of made that clear."
He put his hand on the wall while putting the other hand on his hip. "Uh, I would just go ahead and walk up that ladder, after pummeling Seth Rollins, half to death. Grab that briefcase, take it to downtown Boston, sell it at a pawn shop, if they didn't go ahead and put me in that match, so that's what's best for business. Smart decision by Triple H. You know what was a bad decision, by Triple H? Getting on my bad side, and making an enemy for life, of Dean Ambrose. I've never liked Triple H. I've always had respect for him as a competitor but I never really liked him. He was in Evolution, I was in The Shield, y'know but now he's got an enemy for life. Seth Rollins has an enemy for life. And that's bad. Your life changes when I am your enemy. And it's just gonna keep gettin' worse, for them."
He put his hands on Tom's shoulders. "I'M GOIN' TO MONEY IN THE BANK, TOM!" He shouted and slapped on his cheek a couple of times, before resting a hand on his shoulder.
"How's Triple H gonna explain this? How's Triple H gonna explain to the WWE Universe, to his investors, how's Triple H gonna explain to his wife that scumbag Dean Ambrose, is holding a contract for a World Heavyweight championship shot? God that really looks bad for the company, doesn't it? I'm sure he'll figure it out. Cause he's our boss." Ambrose smiled. "And he knows what's best for business!"
He walked through the door, walking backstage, shouting, "Hey! I'm goin' to Money In The Bank!"
He saw Morgan's back a few feet in front of him as she was talking to Renee, getting interviewed. He decided to slap her ass while walking by her. The Outspoken Diva jumped and put her hands on her behind as she saw Dean walking past her, with a smirk on his face. Renee giggled at what just transpired and Morgan's shocked face reaction as the camera continued to be on them. The Philly Diva shook her head and smiled, before wiping the tears of joy in her eyes after winning her match.
"Morgan, you won!" She smiled while she grinned and sniffed. "Congratulations! You are the first WWE Diva to be apart of the Money in The Bank briefcase match. How are you feeling?"
She cleared her throat and exhaled. "I uh...I'm sorry..."
"No, no, this is your moment. You've made history. What you did out there was awesome!"
"Thank you. I um...I'm trying to prove that women can do anything. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. What matters is that you're in the match and you're a woman making history. And it feels good...It feels so good!" She laughed while wiping more tears from her eyes. "The Authority needs to remember that they can't control me, and I just proved that, tonight. I'm going to Money in The Bank, and I'm pretty damn proud of it. Sunday is going to be awesome. I told them I was going to cut right through them,"
-------
On Smackdown, for the opening segment, Seth Rollins, Randy Orton and Triple H were in the ring.
"Welcome to Smackdown!" Triple H greeted, earning a small reaction from the Pittsburgh crowd. "You know in this business people sometimes refer to things in eras. There's a Golden era...the Rock and wrestling era...the Attitude era...the Ruthless Aggression era...today I heard it called the Reality era. But I think more accurately, it would be called...The Authority era. Because The Authority is constantly making history. Take this Sunday for example, at the Money in the bank Pay Per View, history will be made, for when the first time ever, 8 men will compete in a ladder match. And I guarantee you at the end of that match...we will crown a brand new WWE World Heavyweight champion. And that man will be the brand new face of the WWE." Triple H smiled at Orton. "But that's not all...at the Money in The Bank Pay Per View, you don't only get that, no, no, no, no, there's much, much, more! You also get a traditional Money in The Bank contract ladder match. In which one man—" he stopped as the crowd started chanting loudly for Morgan.
"And one woman," Cole added as the chants got louder.
Triple H looked around with a scowl on his face after hearing Morgan's name around the arena.
"...And one...woman..." He grumbled. "One woman who should not even be in this match...who doesn't deserve it...and only won by a fluke."
His statement earned loud boos from the audience. The crowd started to add insult to injury by chanting 'You Got Clotheslined!' to him, reminding him of how he got dropped so easily while Morgan was about to get in the ring, during her entrance, back on Raw. Orton started to get annoyed because the crowd was continuing to remind him that Morgan pinned him, but Seth remained calm, smirking to himself.
"...One man because Morgan will not be climbing up that ladder...will retrieve a contract that allows him to create his own opportunities." Triple H began to smile at Seth, who returned the smile while the COO put a hand on his shoulder. "Now if I was a gamblin' man, I'd say that when Sunday is over...you're lookin' at a pretty solid group, right here. I would be willing to say that the brand new WWE World Heavyweight champion and brand new face of the WWE, will be none other than Randy Orton. And standing by his side, with a briefcase and contract in hand, allowing him a chance, at a championship match, anywhere, anyplace, anytime, will be Seth Rollins. And whenever you like it or not, ladies and gentlemen, that is what's best for business."
"Hunter you're exactly right," Orton spoke up. "That is what's best for business. This Sunday at the Money in The Bank, Pay Per View, I will ascend that ladder." He pointed up to the two titles hanging up on the ceiling. "And not only be the Viper, not only be the Apex Predator, I will be the WWE World Heavyweight champion. And once again the face of the WWE,"
"That's right," Seth mentioned, taking a few steps forward to where Orton was standing. "Also on Sunday at the Money in The Bank Pay Per View I will climb the ladder, I will beat seven other superstars, including Dean Ambrose & Morgan. And I will forge my own destiny, when I secure a contract that guarantees me, a WWE World Heavyweight championship match, anytime, anywhere. And in case...things don't work out, like Hunter said. We always got a Plan B,"
"Now, wait a minute, wait a minute." Orton interrupted. "Mister Plan B, please tell me what exactly do you think is gonna go wrong?"
"Take it easy, Randy. It's not unthinkable that you might not get the job done again, y'know. I mean, you didn't get the job done on Monday when you lost to Morgan. Making her in my match, thank you very much. Now I got two crazy people to deal with,"
"Seth, it's not unthinkable that Morgan is gonna throw you off that ladder and possibly even win your match, this Sunday, making you lose to a woman as well. What's not unthinkable is that without your Shield guys, standing by your side, that I don't whip your ass,"
"All right, all right." Triple H got in between them. "Hey, all right. Okay, you're gonna do this in front of everybody, all right I understand that sometimes there might be some trust issues. Randy, do you know why you should trust, Seth? Seth, you know why you should trust, Randy? Because I do. That's why. Because I trust him and that's why you should trust him. And you wanna know the reality of it? For both of you? Whether you like it or not, there's one constant that isn't gonna change. And that is The Authority. That is not going to change. So, here's the thing, you can either survive against The Authority or you can thrive with The Authority. So, while trust might be a little bit of a bitter taste in your mouths...adapt or perish. This is the future. This is the present."
He touched Orton's shoulder and pointed over to Seth. "This is the future. This is the plan and like I said...this is best for business. All right? Now...we'll move on because where you see Seth Rollins lately, you see one man. Dean Ambrose."
Once the crowd heard Dean's name, they gave him a big pop. It was no surprise that Ambrose was very over with the crowd these past few weeks.
"And you can be excited all you want, because in just a moment you're gonna see Dean Ambrose. That's the good news. But unfortunately for all of you, and I just gotta say that I love doin' this. I've got some bad news for ya." Triple H said in a British accent.
----------
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome The Outspoken Diva, Morgan Lopez!" Lilian announced as the crowd gave her a loud pop.
She walks out in leather shorts, a white crop top that stops just before her pierced naval and black ankle boots. Her black hair was straightened with bangs, having a huge smile on her face. She tags some hands and grabs the microphone on the top steel step before getting in the ring.
"Morgan is in such a good mood, tonight. And can you blame her? Let's take you back to Monday night." Cole said as they showed the highlights of her match against Orton. "Do you believe in miracles, John?"
"She just got lucky. I have to admit, what she did was clever..." JBL grumbled.
"This was a huge upset,"
Morgan stands in the middle of the ring, embracing the warm reception from the Pittsburgh crowd.
"Wow, it's very active here in Pittsburgh!" She chuckled. "You guys show me a lot of love, every time I come out here. And I'm grateful for that. It's all of you who keep me going. I've met some awesome fans, crazy fans, haha, and even met some inspirational fans, telling me I saved them. That I motivate them. I'm grateful for that, too, but the thing is, all of you motivate and inspire me. Your passion for the WWE and wrestling makes me elated to come out here and perform for you. You guys saved me. There were so many times that I wanted to give up. Even on Monday but as I heard you guys cheering for me, I just had to keep going. And I thank all of you for supporting me because on Monday, I made history and this Sunday I'm going to Money in The Bank!" She grinned as the crowd applauded.
A 'You deserve it!' chant breaks out, making her pause and look around with gratitude.
"I didn't just win for myself. Everything I did on Monday was for a certain Straight Edge friend." She said as the crowd chanted 'CM Punk' loudly. "My cousin Chyna, The divas, past, future and present...and for all of you guys. I proved that being a female wrestler doesn't mean being eye candy or anything cliché of that sorts. I wanted to do stuff with the guys and here I am about to accomplish one of my goals, this Sunday. Man...I grew so much over the years. Being that nobody. That regular new diva, trying to make a name for herself back in 2012. Getting into trouble and losing a few screws by going after one of the most dangerous groups in Sports entertainment, The Shield. Then little ol' me gets forced into the group. Became The Shield's girl. Hated The Authority's orders and became the Outspoken Diva. And look at me now. On my own, continuing to kick ass and being your favorite diva. Your Heroine. Trying to save the diva's division with some of the most awesome female wrestlers on this roster. I'm the former Shield's girl. And now The Morganation is on full throttle. It's my time, now. And I want you guys to believe in me. Believe in Morgan Lopez. I promise I will not let you down win or lose. I promise to never go to the dark side. I'm your diva,"
Seth's theme blares out as the crowd heavily boos. He walks out in his black shirt and black pants without his black jacket. With a smirk on his face, he watches her look annoyed as he makes his way into the ring.
"What is he doing out here?" Cole asked.
"Intimidation? That's one of her opponents, this Sunday." JBL reminded over the 'you sold out!' chants.
After a few moments, Morgan began to speak. "I don't appreciate you coming out here, trying to ruin my one on one time with the fans. So, whatever the heck you have to say, make it quick. And if this is about you bragging about how you're going to win with whatever Plan A, B, C, D, whatever the hell type of plan you're doing, get the hell out of my ring," The Outspoken Diva pointed to the stage as the crowd cheered.
Seth chuckled. "I love that about you. You're so courageous. Even when you're all alone. Grapes, I came out here—"
"Don't ever call me that again," she narrowed her eyes as it struck a nerve and past memories that made her heart ache.
Watching how she reacted to the nickname, Rollins grinned. "What? Grapes?"
"I said don't call me that!"
"Why not? You always used to love it when I call you that, Grapes,"
"Mind games by Rollins?" Cole asked.
"Don't you remember all the times I would toss grapes at you, and you would catch them with your mouth? Remember all the times you would hug me after I would buy you a bag of grapes? Our funny prank wars, against each other? You remember that? You remember those good times?"
"That was past..."
"And it can be our future. We can still enjoy those good times."
"Well it could..." she shrugged. "But you gotta remember that you were the one who whacked my back, with the chair. You were the one who chose to stab me in the back. You were the one who hit my head, so hard, with that chair, that blood was coming out, the side of my head. You were the one who chose this path. I'm not going to follow in your footsteps. So, what do you want?"
"All right. All right. Since you want to pretend that you don't miss me, I'll just cut right to the chase. You've had your little moment on Monday. But if you come to Boston on Sunday...I'm not gonna like what I'm going to do to you. I came out here because I care about you. I don't want you to get hurt, on Sunday. Please, just forget about the match. Don't come to Boston on Sunday. For your own safety,"
"Let me think..." She paused for a moment. "No."
He grinned and nodded a few times. "Okay. I warned you. Do you want to know what I'm gonna do to you?"
"I don't know...but I know what I'm going to do to you. I'm gonna make sure I throw you off the ladder." She guaranteed.
"Did you see what I did to Ambrose?" He chuckled as the titantron showed him beating him up and curb stomping him. "I could do the same to you...but I don't want to. This doesn't have to be this way. Don't be the heroine. Just come with me. Be more successful with me. What do you say?"
The crowd started chanting 'No!' while Morgan looked around at the crowd.
She tries to kick him but he swiftly grabs her leg.
"Uh oh," Cole called out.
Seth grinned and shook his head. "Bad move, sweetheart. Bad move." He released her and kicked her, hard in the stomach, making her yell out in pain.
She clenches her stomach with her right arm and falls down to her knees. She was glad she didn't eat a heavy meal because she would have thrown up. The impact of his kick made her cough a couple of times. As she tried to recover from the pain, Triple H, Rosa, Kane, and Orton walk down the ramp as the crowd boos. Morgan grits her teeth and looks up at Seth, & The Authority with a glare.
"Oh no Morgan get out of there!" Cole shouted.
"Too late," JBL said while the guys got in the ring.
She manages to get back to her feet, with the help of the ropes, continuing to hold her stomach.
"This is how it's gonna go down," Seth spoke. "You are either going to come with me and join me to become the power couple of the future. The best wrestlers of the future and help me win at Money in The Bank or...you can drop out of the match on Sunday for your well being. Go back to wrestling divas. Staying out of my business, and shutting your mouth."
"Neither!" she shouted, earning loud cheers.
"You are so difficult! You are so stubborn! Why won't you just stop being the heroine? I know all of your moves, Morgan! I know you better than you know yourself! Take my hand and we'll be unstoppable. No speed bumps to go by. You'll be so much more successful. You are the only Shield member that I wanted along with me. The only Shield member I knew would be successful with me. But you said no. And I had to do what I had to do. I hit you with that chair not because I wanted to sever our bond. I may have said that, but the truth is...I did it because I wanted that to be a wake up call, for you. You're weak being a good person. You can be so much stronger. I know you can. I want the real Morgan back. This is not you,"
"You want me to join you, after all that crap you said about me? How I'm nothing without you? I'm everything without you! I'm better without you. This is the real me. I'm the Outspoken Diva and I'm pretty damn proud of what I've accomplished so far, without the likes of you, Reigns, or Ambrose and everything I've done so far has felt so good. I'm more focused than ever and I showed that on Monday night! And unlike you, I like to earn things and not sell out. I don't care if I have to start back at the bottom, I will not go to the dark side and I won't take the easy road. Give me all the curb stomps you want. But at least I'm not a bitch to run away from their battles." She snapped as the crowd cheered.
She is then held back and forced down on her knees by Orton and Kane.
"This is not good. Someone needs to stop this." Cole said.
"Morgan, make the smart move now and drop out of the match. We can forget about what happened, on Monday. It will be best for business for you to drop out." Triple H spoke. "You are so pathetic...how you just keep coming and coming after The Authority...and for what? Every time you come at the Authority, you always get punched down. Just give up."
"Pathetic huh?" she spoke up. "Hey, hey, how does it feel? How does it feel that you got a woman in a men's match? A Money in the bank match? Will you be able to swallow your pride and watch as I climb up that ladder and take that briefcase? Will you be able to swallow the fact that a WWE Diva, a woman, a female wrestler might become the WWE World Heavyweight champion?"
"There is no way that any of these people want to see a pathetic, worthless, piece of trash like you be in the Money in The Bank match, this Sunday. A C-plus player. You are a disgrace to this company and you are a disgrace to women's wrestling,"
"Oh, bite me..." She retorted
"Kane, she's all yours." Triple H ordered while the crowd began to boo once Kane positioned her for the chokeslam.
"Wait a minute! Look who's here!" Cole shouted as the crowd screamed and cheered.
Ambrose dashes down the ramp and slides in the ring. He quickly jumps on top of Rollins, while Kane releases Morgan.
"Dean Ambrose! Going after Rollins!" He exclaimed while Morgan rested near a corner, leaning on the bottom turnbuckle.
Triple H and Rosa quickly escape the ring, leaving Orton, and Kane to help out Seth. Seth finally manages to escape Dean's crazed punches and runs out of the ring. Orton kicks Ambrose in the midsection, making him rebound the ropes and return with a clothesline. Rosa slides into the ring and grabs Dean's left leg so Kane can drop him down with a big boot.
"Oh! And a big boot by Kane." Cole winced.
The Philly Diva stands up and tackles Rosa down, before pummeling her with punches. Rosa rolls out the ring, while Morgan stands up, unaware of Orton waiting for her to turn around.
"Don't turn around, Morgan!" JBL warned.
As soon as she does, she manages to push Orton away from doing the RKO and drops him down with the backfire as the crowd cheers. She throws him out of the ring, at the end of the ramp, while Ambrose dropkicks Kane off the apron, behind her.
"Ambrose and Morgan standing tall," Cole said.
The two back up and look up at the ceiling at the Money in The Bank briefcase.
"Um...are those two aware that they'll be competing against each other for that briefcase, up there?" JBL asked as the two turned around and looked at each other.
Morgan smirks and pushes past him, to get out of the ring. Ambrose who was still panting from the brawl he had, raises a brow, while looking amused as he turns around to watch her grab a ladder. She gets back in the ring and sets it in the middle of the ring.
"What is she planning on doing, now?" Cole asked as Ambrose nodded and got a ladder to set it next to hers. "And it looks like Ambrose is going to do the same. What are they doing?"
They both climb their ladders, facing the stage. The Authority looks on with angry looks as the crazed duo looks up at the briefcase, inches away from them. They both grab it and take it off the hook together as the crowd cheers.
"This is something else," JBL said as Morgan held the briefcase in her hands and looked at it, with admiration.
She hands the briefcase over to Ambrose and he checks it out as his theme comes on.
"Ambrose and Morgan standing tall," Cole said as they held the briefcase together and slowly raised it up in the air. They look at it, and then back at The Authority. "But the questions that remain are, will they work together? Or go against each other, at Money in The Bank?"
"I don't know but things are going to get real interesting, this Sunday," JBL said as The Authority regrouped on the stage.
Ambrose gets down from the ladder and sets the briefcase down. He starts yelling at Seth, saying that he's gonna make sure to get even with him, this Sunday. Morgan rests her elbows on top of the ladder, looking amused.
"You are not gonna ruin this for me! You are going to regret this!" Seth shouted.
"We cannot let Morgan win that briefcase! We cannot let Morgan win that briefcase, Hunter!" Orton exclaimed to Triple H.
"And Ambrose! Do you know what type of chaos that would be? Having Ambrose or a diva represent this company as WWE World Heavyweight champion?! You just don't do that crap! That just can't happen!" Seth exclaimed.
Morgan jumps off the ladder, and the crowd erupts into louder cheers once she jumps on Ambrose, hugging him. He wraps his arms around her waist, while she wraps her arms and legs around him. Showing off that they are still going strong, they give The Authority a show, by kissing passionately in the ring.
"And they're still together even if they're doing their own thing. You know John, I honestly think it doesn't matter which one of them will win. As long as either Ambrose or Morgan grabs that briefcase and shatters Seth's dreams, that's all that matters." Cole said.
"Hm...I don't know..." JBL replied, skeptical. "Every person for themselves. This can break friendships. And relationships. You've seen what happened with Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow, last year,"
Triple H scowled at the couple in the ring, grinning at The Authority, and taunting them. "Let them have their fun. They aren't going to be winning on Sunday. I guarantee it. If Plan A doesn't work...then Plan B will."
Hey!
I know you already have plans for Seth and Morgan and I know this is gonna probably be a weird request. But I thinking of spicing things up little bit. Have Morgan faced Paige for the Diva championship and have Seth cost her the match then Seth have Paige attack Morgan after the match. Dean comes out and attach Seth to save Morgan but he gets outnumbered by The Authority. Then Dean’s forced to watched Seth smooshed a knocked out Morgan kinda like that Randy Orton, HHH and Stephanie segment. Sorry if this request is strange and long but thank you for taking your time ready this and you’re doing an amazing job with your stories 😊
Hey!! Omg that is not strange at all! I actually think this is the first request for my wrestling story on here hehe so thanks a bunch! I like it! Wow Morgan is officially kissing all members of the shield 😭😭
I definitely already got some plans in mind since the story was written years ago although I’m occasionally switching stuff up as I edit the prewritten chapters but I could write it as a request/what if scenario! I hope you’ll be cool with that! 😁. I’ll add it to the list! But who knows maybe I could squeeze it in somewhere in the story. I’ll see how I feel!! But I totally do not mind writing it. I hope you like what I write when I get to it!
Randy was a menace during that time omfg. Shooked the entire wrestling world with that kiss 😭😭 it brings back a ton of memories.
Also whenever I get to where I stopped at for this story, I wanted to write what if scenarios for Morgan. Because I have so many ideas with Morgan in different storylines that happened. And I’d like to just make separate scenarios for now on after I manage to kind of end the story with this idea I had but never got the chance to write. Some what if scenarios I had in mind are: what if she returned when Seth and Dean were backstage with Roman, teasing a shield reunion. Maybe Morgan in the middle of Ambrose and AJ Styles since she has history with them both. Her in the middle of Ambrose vs Rollins when Ambrose attacked him and turned heel. Even Morgan returning to WWE and Roman, who is the Tribal Chief at the time, wanting her by his side.
