Author's note: English isn't my first language and though I think I'm quite good at it, there will be mistakes. I hope you don't mind. Please leave comments because I want to improve my writing. I hope you enjoy the story. This story is written so that it would be half a year from now, just after survivor series. I gave Edge a second short reign as a champion and he lost it to Triple H who is the champ when this story starts.

I walk towards the arena with my suitcase rolling behind me. Today is my debut on WWE-TV. I had already met most of the women who were going to be my colleagues and enemies in matches for the future, but not the men. When I had turned 18, already halfway of my senior-year of high-school, I made an important decision. I wanted to drop the 50 pounds I was too heavy by going to the gym. I felt like I was missing out on all the things that a teenager was supposed to do, dating, wearing nice revealing clothes and just confidence. I had many friends, male and female, but I just wanted more. At first I only did cardio workouts to get in shape and burn the fat, but I took on working weights when I started to feel better and got stronger and stronger. My body got tighter, until I was a perfect size 6 with a muscular abs and pronounced biceps. My legs didn't touch each other when I walked, my arm-fat didn't wiggle when I waved a friend goodbye and I didn't have to wear high underwear to cover my belly. I loved it. When I started working out it wasn't my intention, but when I looked at my new body I came to think of my long lost dream of becoming a professional wrestler. I had been a wrestling fan since I was small and I always wanted to be one myself some day. I had put that dream aside when I started getting overweight when I hit puberty, I didn't want to be the Viscera of female wrestling, but now was the time to follow this dream.
I quickly applied for a karate-course; in the small town I lived was no opportunity to practice wrestling. I figured taking fighting courses would be the next-best-thing. I practiced taking bumps on my own in my room until I know exactly how to fall on my back and head without feeling pain. I watched numerous tapes looking at the moves and trying to copy them without an opponent. When I left to study Journalism at a college 10 hours driving away from my hometown when the new school year started and a new world opened. All these people only knew the slim, confident and strong version of me AND there was a small wrestling class on campus. The class consisted of 7 boys that practiced 3 times a week with a trainer, and after I showed my knowledge of wrestling and my dedication to the industry they quickly accepted me as one of the guys. I fought with the smaller guys and started becoming better and better. I could win matches from some of them, even when they tried their best. I wrestled in independent shows in the weekends in the neighbourhood and after graduating from college I gave myself one year off for wrestling in the independent circuit. I moved into a small apartment in my old home-town wanted to see if I would be able to make enough money by wrestling to afford that. If I wouldn't succeed I would get a job in journalism and just forget about my dream. I tried my best and it was very hard to pay the rent and cover all the other costs I made. I travelled a lot and felt quite lonely from time to time, but after a few months I was approached by WWE and signed a contract with them quick. I couldn't believe my luck.
I went to a business meeting with the female part of the Raw roster before starting to meet them and today was going to be my first day on the road. The next few weeks I am only going to make non-wrestling appearances and so I can get used to the time on the road and so the audience can get used to me. I am going to play the part of the on-screen sister of Rob van Dam. After I had signed my contract and the storywriters were discussing ways to write me into the script, they came up with the idea of this storyline because they thought we kind off looked alike and arranged a meeting for the two of us. We immediately clicked and the part was written. Rob is the current Intercontinental champ and I am going to assist him in his challenge to keep the title. He is defending against Edge, a multi-time IC-champ and a two-time-WWE-champ who likes to use dirty tricks to win his matches.
