Summary: Everyone loves Victoria McMahon, the cousin of Shane and Stephanie, unfortunately, so does Raven. To what lengths will he go to, to prove this to a woman who he has wronged in the past? Takes place before the brand split.
Chapter 1
Victoria McMahon walked down the hallway, a smile on her face. It had been a while since she had visited her uncle last, or even paid any attention to wrestling, she had been too busy with college, she was twenty-two now and had just graduated. A few of the wrestlers she knew, the older ones in the company or the ones that had been here before.
"Hey Tori." Debra said to her. "I haven't seen you in a while, how've you been?"
"Hi Debra." She said, stopping to talk to her. "I've been great, how about you?"
"Perfect." She said. "I married Steve."
"Congratulations." Tori said. "You look great, haven't aged a day since I saw you last."
"Thanks, you too, honey." She said.
Victoria was five feet, five inches tall and very slender. She was also strong, but you wouldn't be able to tell unless she flexed her muscles. She had dark blue eyes and naturally blond hair.
"Who are you talking to Debra?" Austin asked, coming up to her.
"You know Victoria, Steve." Debra said.
"Yeah right, the only McMahon that I can stand." Steve said. "About time you came back."
"I've been busy." Tori said. "I got to go though, have to go talk to Vince."
"Ah, what do you want to talk to that bastard for?" Austin asked.
"I got to go, bye." She continued walking down the hallway. She came to Vince's office and went inside. Nobody was there.
Vince came back a couple of minutes later, along with Stephanie.
"Hey Vince." Tori said.
"Tori." He said. "It's been too long." He hugged her.
"Aren't you going to say hello to me?" Steph asked.
"Of course, hello Stephanie." She said.
"That's better Tori." Steph said and gave her a hug.
"What are you doing here?" Vince asked.
"Well, I just graduated college and I was thinking about what career path I might pursue." Victoria said.
"Oh no." Vince said. "You don't mean wrestling, do you?"
"Please Vince, I'm really good." Tori begged.
"I don't know." Vince said.
"Please?" Tori asked. "You can give me a tryout match or something."
Vince sighed. "You realise you're putting me in a very awkward position."
"C'mon, what harm can I do?" Tori asked.
"Just give her a tryout match, like she said daddy." Steph said.
Vince thought for a second. "Ok, Raw is going to begin in about ten minutes, you are going to came out with me, I'll introduce you, then give you your match. Alright?"
"That works for me." Tori said.
When Raw began, Vince and Tori walked out and went to the ring. Vince took a mike. "Everyone, I'd like to introduce my lovely niece, Victoria McMahon. She is the newest wrestler on the roster and tonight, I am giving her a match to prove herself. I've decided that her opponent will be none other then Trish Stratus."

Tori's match wasn't for another half hour, so she was walking around visiting with the people that she knew and meeting the ones she didn't, when she came face to face with none other than Raven. She didn't even recognize him at first, he had changed his appearance so much since the last time that she had seen him, when he was working for a rival company. But when she looked into his eyes, she knew who it was.
*Flashback*
Time: Three years ago
Place: Hotel room
"I can't do this anymore Scott." Tori said. "I can't keep it a secret any longer, I have to tell someone about us."
"Tell who?" Scott Levy, Raven, asked. "It doesn't matter anyway, there is no 'us'"
"What do you mean?" Tori asked. "We've been together for a year, doesn't that matter to you?"
Scott laughed. "We aren't together Tori." He said.
"What are you talking about?" She asked.
"I can't believe how naive you are." He said. "If we were together, I would have let you tell people."
"Then what are we?" Tori said.
"We are nothing." Scott replied. "I've been using you whenever I was in town, but the last few months I've grown bored of you."
"You're using me?" She repeated. "I thought that you cared about me."
"Did I say that?" He asked.
"Yes." She answered.
"Then I lied Tori." He said. "Not that it matters anymore, anything that we had, which wasn't much in the first place, is over with, I'm through with you."
*End flashback*
"Wrestling Tori?" He asked her. "Coming in to my yard to play, huh?"
"Get out of my way." She said.
"Or what?" He asked.
"Or you'll regret it." She answered.
"That's funny, because I don't regret anything that I've done to you." He taunted her.
"This guy bugging you Tori?" Undertaker asked, coming up to them.
She looked at Raven.
He started to back away. "This isn't over Tori, we'll bump into each other again, just wait and see." He turned and left.
"Thanks 'Taker." Tori said.
"No problem." He replied.
"Well, thanks anyway." She said and was about to turn around and leave. "Oh, say hi to Sara for me."
"Will do." He said.
She left.
Raven watched her leave from a shadowed corner, he licked his lips. "This definitely isn't over."

J.R.: So far Tori has done a tremendous job for someone who has no previous wrestling experience.
King: Well, she is a McMahon.
J.R.: That she is, oh, and a DDT to Trish.
King: I hope the puppies are fine.
J.R.: She goes for the pin and gets a two count.
King: Hey, look who's standing in the entranceway.
J.R.: It's Raven, he has no business being out here.
King: Victoria just realised that he's there.
J.R.: He distracted her long enough for Trish to roll her up into a pin, but she counters into a pin of her own and gets the three count.
King: Raven's walking down the ramp way.
Raven entered the ring as the referee raised Tori's arm. She walked over to him. "What the hell are you doing?" She asked him.
"Testing you." He replied.
"Well, test this." She punched him in the face then left the ring.
King: What's going on there?
J.R.: I wish I knew.
"What was that?" Vince asked her when she got backstage.
"What was what?" She asked.
"Raven, what did he do?" Vince asked.
"Nothing, his presence was annoying me." Tori answered. "Are you going to hire me?"
"You did good." Vince replied. "So, I'll risk it. Welcome aboard."
"Thanks." She said. "I'm going to go tell a couple of people the good news."
"Alright." Vince said.
She turned and walked down the hall. She was going past a locker room when someone grabbed her and pulled her in.
