You're Either Nexus or Against Us

I do not own anything from the WWE.

Inspired by a side story I'm working on with amplified ecstasy. Check out her WWE stories too! :)

Summary: Torrie Wilson left the company in 2008, afraid she would never be able to wrestle again. Now after two years of training and hard work, she is finally ready to make her comeback. John Cena, her former boyfriend and close friend is thrilled, but Raw's new GM has plans for the Cover Girl involving the newly formed heel stable, Nexus. When Torrie becomes close with the leader, Wade Barrett, will John stand by and let watch her slip away or make a stand for the Boise babe?

Chapter One: Welcome Back!


Her black high heels click-clacked down the hall as she glanced at the names on the doors, looking for a certain CeNation leader. "Randy Orton...no," she muttered before a hand grabbed hers and pulled her back.

"I know you weren't just gonna walk by my dressing room and not say hi, Wilson," Randy stated.

Torrie laughed and pulled him into a hug. "Hey Randers," she teased. "How have you been?"

"Good. It's nice to see you again. Have you said hi to Cena yet? He's been acting like a kid in a candy store since he heard you were coming back," Randy chuckled.

The blond smiled and shook her head. "Not yet, I'm looking for him right now."

John was definitely pumped to have Torrie back in the WWE. They used to be an on screen couple and dated off screen for a while, but they decided it couldn't work once Torrie left the company. They always promised to stay friends and maybe try to have a relationship again if they could work it out.

A knock on his dressing room door caused John to quickly open the door with a huge grin. "Tor-" His face instantly fell as he was greeted by the Nexus. "Damn it, guys. The show has even started yet. What do you want now?"

After Randy pointed her in the right direction, Torrie smooth down her little black dress and approached Cena's room. She saw a group of guys standing around the doorway, must be the new heel stable she had heard about. She knew about the current storyline with John being forced to be a member. Torrie wanted to know more about that and her own storyline. She filmed a segment that aired last week, signaling her return. In the promo she stated she had an important announcement and even she didn't know what that was yet!

"We're looking for our newest member," Wade said.

"I'm right here," John replied, raising a brow in confusion.

Wade chuckled. "No, not you. The GM assigned a diva to join Nexus."'

"A diva?" John asked, wondering who it could be. "Oh no, it better not be..."

"Excuse me," Torrie said, pushing her way past Nexus to give John a hug. "Hey, I missed you!" she grinned. John hugged her back a bit tighter than normal.

Wade looked the blond up and down. Not bad...if she could fight, then maybe this could work. "Torrie, is it?" he asked. "I'm Wade Barrett," he smirked, holding out his hand. "Welcome to Nexus."

Torrie turned toward Wade and took his hand. "Hi, it's nice to meet...what?" Now it was starting to make sense. This had to be that "major" announcement...

Wade laughed at her reaction. She was kinda cute. "Oh it's not that bad. Trust me, we'll take good care of you."

Raw's GM approached them and smiled. "Wade, I take it you told Torrie what was going on," Shane McMahon said. That's right, Shane McMahon was Raw's mysterious GM. He was finally going to reveal himself tonight. "I'll fill you in on the details later, Torrie. As for tonight, you'll escort one of the members of Nexus to the ring for their match. You make your announcement about joining Nexus and next week, we'll put you in your first match, okay?"

Torrie nodded and watched Shane go out to open the show. A member of Nexus? Torrie was only heel once in her career, could she really do it again? She was happy to be back and be a part of a major storyline, but she was definitely nervous. She had a lot at stake. Torrie wanted to prove that she was more than a pretty face. Her last run with the WWE was amazing, but all that she was really remembered for were her bikini and stripping matches.

John didn't like the idea of Torrie being with Nexus. Not that he didn't want her to be a part of this huge storyline, but he was a little nervous too. Why? He could easily see Wade checking out Torrie...

Shane walked out with a huge smirk on his face. "That's right! I am Raw's GM!" he cheered before doing his classic little dance. "Well now that we got that out of the way, let's start the show! I think we should open with a bang, hm? How about WWE's current champion, Randy Orton," he paused for the loud cheers.

"Defends his title...in a steel cage match!" The crowd went crazy. "Now who should Randy face? Someone different...someone who I think deserves a little more respect. Tonight Randy will face Wade Barrett for the WWE championship!"

Wade smirked and gave Torrie a look. "Shall we?" he asked, holding out his arm as Nexus' theme song was playing. Torrie hesitated before looping her arm around his, giving John one last glance before she headed out with Wade.

The crowd was thrilled to see Torrie back.

"It's great to see Torrie Wilson back on Monday Night Raw, but what's she doing with Wade?" Cole asked.

"I guess we'll find out soon enough," Jerry replied. "She must be out here to make her announcement we heard about last week."

"I think you're right, King. For those who missed it, let's replay it."

The promo ran from last week with Lay-Cool standing in the ring, mocking the other divas and asking for a worthy opponent, someone equal in beauty and strength. That's when Torrie appeared on the screen.

"Hey, Lay-Cool. You want a "worthy" opponent? I'm right here," she smirked. "I'm back with the WWE and I have a major announcement for you and the WWE universe next week. So like watch out, okay? Real talk!"

Wade held open the ropes like a gentleman as Torrie stepped into the ring. She was handed a microphone and took a deep breath before speaking. "Hey guys, did you miss me?" she asked, hearing loud cheers in response. She tried not to come off too friendly since she would be making a heel turn soon. "So if you haven't figured it out by now, my major announcement is... you're looking at the newest member of Nexus!"

The crowd had a mixed reaction. Wade slipped his arm around Torrie's waist and smirked. John was watching this from backstage and sighed. "I need a snack or a stiff drink," he muttered, making his way toward the catering section.

Randy came out as his music played, keeping a good grip on his title belt. He had that cold glare on his face as he stared down Wade and Torrie. "Good luck," Torrie whispered to Wade before quickly sliding out of the ring as the steel cage came down.

The two locked up in the center of the ring and the match was underway. It was pretty intense considering not only the rivalry between the two but also the steel cage, which was definitely being used to inflict some major pain. Eventually Wade managed to hoist Randy up for The Wasteland, but Randy elbowed Wade until he dropped him. As Wade was recovering, Randy struck hard and fast with an RKO.

1...2...3!

"Here is your winner and still WWE champion, Randy Orton!"

Torrie cringed slightly as Wade lay there, looking lifeless. She approached the door to the steel cage, but backed away as Randy stepped out and gave her that emotionless stare. She trembled slightly and waited for Orton to make his way up the ramp before entering the ring. Torrie bent down as Wade was coming to and slowly helped him up. He leaned on here heavily as they slowly made their way backstage.

"You okay?" Torrie asked, slightly worried.

"I'll be fine, but thank you," Wade replied, gently taking her hand. He knew all about Torrie's past relationship with John and knew that being with her would really get under his skin. It was too perfect. "Listen, Torrie, how would you like to get some dinner with me and the other guys? You know, get to know Nexus."

Torrie grinned at his offer. It was pretty sweet of him. "I'd love to, Wade, but I have to start training early tomorrow morning. My first match is next week and it's been a while since I've been in the ring," she said, blushing slightly.

"Ah, I understand. Maybe I could stop by and help you train?" Wade offered. "Show you some secret moves," he winked.

The blond giggled and bit her lip while thinking. "Sure, that'd be great."

"See ya then," Wade said before walking away. John approached the girl soon after.

"So, did you enjoy being out there again?" he asked with a grin.

"I loved it! I'm just nervous about actually fighting again," Torrie admitted.

"Aw, don't worry about it. You'll do great once you step into the ring," John said. "And if you want, I could even help you train again."

"Oh, I'd love that! Wade offered too," Torrie said.

"Oh...when are you two training?" John asked, trying not to sound too desperate for answers.

"Tomorrow morning. I should probably get ready to head back to the hotel."

"Yeah... Well look, maybe I'll stop by too. I mean I'm sure Wade can help, but he's never been a WWE champion before," John smirked.

Torrie giggled. "Oh, John, I've missed you," she said, hugging the man.

"I've missed you more," he whispered, returning the affection.

Torrie slowly pulled away. "Well, I better go grab my stuff. I'll see you around, okay?"

John nodded and watched Torrie go. He kept telling himself this whole thing with Wade would blow over. It's only just a storyline after all...right?


Thanks for reading! Lemme know what you think! I have a few ideas planned and if people enjoyed this chapter, I'll definitely post more. :)
