Disclaimer: We don't own WWE, Vince does (duh)
Prologue: October 3rd 2005
Mickie James was very nervous. One week from today would be her professional wrestling debut on the WWE brand RAW. She had come to the Monday night show. However, this time she wasn't in the audience witnessing the matches but backstage nervously awaiting to meet the female wrestler, who her storyline would be shared with.
She took a deep breath before knocking on the grey door in front of her entitled 'Divas'. She wasn't sure whether to wait for permission to enter or just go in but before she could do either the door opened and WWE's very own ditzy diva greeted her.
"Hiya," Maria Kanellis beamed.
"Hi," Mickie greeted back only not as confident. "Uh, do you know where I can find Trish?" Mickie flustered. Mickie was only really confident around her friends and in the ring. When she met people for the first time she was a little shy especially in presence of such happy-and-go diva like Maria.
"She didn't come in today," Maria replied. Mickie's brow furrowed. She swore on a phone call to Vince McMahon that he had told her to come in and meet the blonde diva on this day but maybe she was mistaken. "Are you the new diva?" Maria asked jumping up and down a little.
"Yep," Mickie said smiling in response to Maria's enthusiasm. She felt an instant liking for this diva. Maybe they could be friends when she started touringwith WWE. "I debut next week," she informed Maria.
"Oh right. So why are you here today?"
"Something about meeting Trish to discuss our storyline..." Mickie wasn't actually entirely sure why she was here a week early. She had already booked a hotel room and all the stuff she needed was still packed into the two suitcases that were still unpacked and lying inside her hotel room.
"Well in that case why don't you come with me? I can show you a room where you can watch the broadcast if you'd like." Maria offered as she stepped into the hallway, shutting the door behind her. Seeing as Mickie's plan for that evening was no longer an option she decided to follow the diva down the hallway and into a small sized room equipped with a large TV screen.
"Thanks," Mickie said as she sat down on the sofa positioned opposite the Sony TV screen.
"No problem," Maria smiled back, "I have to go and do an interview then I've got a match with Jillian Hall but I promise I'll be back. Then you can tell me about yourself!" Maria did her famous giggle then exited the room, leaving Mickie in there alone. Mickie switched on the TV screen in time to see the starting credits of the show she was soon to be appearing on. The first match tonight would be the current WWE champion John Cena against Charlie Haas. It was obvious that John was going to win. How could he lose with his signature move FU? He was the champ after all. True to Mickie's prediction John Cena secured his victory by pin fall after inflicting a devastating FU.
Mickie smiled to herself. She couldn't get her head round the fact that she was actually going to be on RAW's main roster. She thought back to the day when the contract had been placed in front of her. There were tears in her eyes as she signed on the dotted line that guaranteed her a career in WWE. After years of hard training she was finally getting her reward in the form of a place on the roster of the number one company in sports entertainment. Two years of sending tapes and a development contract period on Ohio Valley Wrestling's farm territory later and here she was. After two years of sending in tapes and having a developmental contract with Ohio Valley Wrestling, WWE's farm territory, here she was. Only seven more days, Mickie sighed. She was itching to show her in ring abilities but in reality her first RAW match would be in two weeks time. Next week she would just briefly appear on screen during Trish's match and do a short promo afterward but she didn't mind; there would be plenty of time to wrestle. She understood that, especially in the professional wrestling industry, it was important to build an on-screen persona. It made things more interesting. Mickie smiled to herself. RAW better be prepared for what she had to offer!
