(Tag Team Match with AJ Lee [taking Layla's place] against Paige and Alicia Fox RAW 10/06/14)
I looked out to the crowd who a majority of them were cheering, calling me by my wrestling nickname "The Silent Diva", which has been stuck with me since I was in NXT. I was waiting to be tagged by April (AJ Lee) so I could have my chance to be in the ring, if I get that chance. April isn't really a team player so I almost expected to not even participate in the match. We're in a tag team match against Saraya (Paige) and Victoria (Alicia Fox). It was part of their storyline as Paige found Alicia Fox as her new best friend and AJ is sort of looking for a new best friend, so she's looking for a new friend throughout the Divas Division. So today's match, she chosen me because she "disliked me the least" out of all of the other divas.
Right now April was in the ring with Victoria as she was just tagged in by Saraya as I was still outside of the ring, waiting to be tagged in. April was doing fine until she received a nasty back breaker from Victoria. I stuck my arm out so she could tag as she was crawling in pain. Soon she reluctantly tapped my hand and the referee gave me the cue to join the match. I jumped inside the ring from the top ropes and wasted no time attacking Victoria. I backed away when the referee counted to four when I had held her against the steel post. I smiled as I could feel the crazy positive energy from the fans. I started pacing around a bit waiting for Victoria to get up as April was trying to get me to tag her back in, but I wasn't going to let her have this win. I wanted to show April and to the fans that I can wrestle just as good as her or even better.
Once Victoria regained her composure, she charged after me and I did the same, but I caught her my finisher called "Silent Killer", which was a wheelbarrow bulldog, putting her to sleep. I went for the pin and the referee counted to three before signaling for the bell to be rung as the match was over. I stood up and the ref grabbed my hand and raised my arm in victory. April came inside and rolled her eyes at me, but grabbed her title and skipped around like normally, as I smiled to the crowd before I left the ring to head backstage.
I headed straight to my locker room to take a shower so I could freshen myself up. I smiled as I felt the hot water touch my skin, getting rid of the sticky sweat off my body. Soon I lathered my body with my favorite body wash, before rinsing myself off. I did it one more time before I stepped out of the shower to dry myself off and changed into something comfortable but casual. I put on a little makeup and headed out to the catering area.
After I had fixed my plate, I scoped around the room and saw that Melina (Rosa Mendes) and Nattie (Natalya) were sitting together at a table. I walked over towards them to sit down, since I knew the two ladies as we were traveling and rooming together due to Mark Carrano's orders. I sat my plate down on the table and the girls smiled at me as they waved to me as to say hello. I waved back in return with a small smile of my own.
"You did great in your match out there, Adrienne. The fans has really taken a liking to you." Nattie said, using her hands to translate in American Sign Language for me to understand.
"Yeah girl you looked HOT out in that ring tonight. I'm glad you didn't let April take all the spot light." Rosa (as she preferred to be called) spoke since she didn't know ASL but knew I could read lips pretty well.
I thanked them both using sign language, which they both knew fortunately, before I began to eat my food.
I guess I should briefly introduce myself. My name is Adrienne Davenport, I am twenty-three years old and as you already know, I am a professional wrestler for the World Wrestling Entertainment, under the name Sabrina. I have a hearing impairment, meaning I am deaf, which is the reason I use sign language to communicate. However, I wasn't born completely deaf, but my hearing wasn't perfect either. I really started to lose my hearing when I was young at the age of four years old. As for my wrestling career, I have been wrestling professionally since I was nineteen as I started in Ring of Honor before I signed a contract with WWE to start out in their developmental program NXT. Two years later, I have proven myself and to Vince McMahon and Paul and Stephanie Levesque that I was good enough to be a part of the main roster. Now here I am, a member of the main roster for over a month now.
"So Adrienne, have you found a wrestler that you fancy?" Rosa asked and Nattie gave her a stern look, as I bit the inside of my cheek and looked down shyly.
I shook my head no to answer her question. I haven't really met or talk to any other wrestlers besides Nattie, Rosa, and Trinity (Naomi) since I've been a part of the main roster. I'm sure that everyone works for WWE knew about my hearing impairment due to Paul and Stephanie when they introduced me to the whole roster as they announced to everyone about me joining them. However, I haven't really met anyone and due to the fact I kept to myself a lot as it came natural for me to do so.
"Oh come on. There's got to be at least one male wrestler that you find attractive." Rosa urged on as Nattie was still giving her that stern look, telling her to drop it.
"It's okay Nattie. Rosa is just curious." I said. Yes I can talk, but only if I am wearing my hearing aid. It helps me speak more clearly, but I never really use my voice unless I had to or if I'm talking to Rosa and Nattie since they are the only one I talk to besides the bosses Stephanie, Vince, and Paul.
I shrugged, because I really didn't have eyes on anyone. I haven't met anyone else and most of my 'friends' were down in NXT still. However, Rosa was still expecting an answer from me.
"I haven't really looked at anyone that kind of way." I answered with a shrug from my shoulders and took sip of my drink, instantly going back to being silent.
Rosa just shrugged, but smiled. "I know you're lying, but I'm not going to pressure you. You tell us when you're ready." She said with a wink. I blushed and looked away so she wouldn't see my face.
Soon one of the tech producers walked up to our table and told Nattie and Rosa that they had to go cut a promo with some of the other Total Divas and guest star Nene Leakes and get everything ready for their match later on tonight. The two of them nodded at the man and they faced me, telling me that they had to get ready for their match soon. I nodded and told them that I would meet them at their locker room when they were done.
After Nattie and Rosa left, I got up from the table when I had finished eating and walked around the arena. I didn't really have anywhere particular to go, I just didn't really want to sit in the catering. I thought about going to the Divas locker to watch the current match that was going on. However, the chance being there alone was very unlikely, so I just kept looking around until I found an empty room to watch the match.
I ended up finding a room shortly after, smiling as I saw that the TV had the subtitles on. I walked in and sat down in one of the chairs that was in the room and put my focus on the current match on the TV which was Rusev verses The Big Show. Although I was pretty focused on what was going on the television screen, I could feel a presence right beside me. I didn't get a bad vibe from this presence, but I didn't get a good one either, more like awkward I guess. I looked to my right and I saw a male figure sitting in the chair next to me with his hands folded behind his head and his right leg folded and laying on top of his left knee.
This guy had short dirty blonde hair that was pretty frizzy after having a match earlier, partially covering the front of his blue eyes. He was wearing a black muscle shirt with white bold letters that says "Unstable", blue jeans, black wrestling boots, and tape wrapped around his hands and wrists. I instantly recognized him as the "Lunatic Fringe" Dean Ambrose, well that's his ring name, but I didn't know his real name. This was the first time I was sort of face to face with him since I have been a part of the main roster.
Dean turned his head and caught me looking at him, because he smiled at me…or was it a smirk? I don't know, maybe it was a mixture of both. I gave him a small smile but quickly looked away and focused back to the match that's on the screen. However, I could feel that he was still looking at me. I tried to ignore his gaze, but eventually I faced him again and he was eyeing me up and down.
"So you're the Silent Diva that everyone is talking about. Didn't think we would ever cross each other's path." Dean said, with that smirk still playing against his lips.
I nodded and gave a little shrug, because I didn't know what to say since I don't know what our colleagues actually say. about me. I wasn't sure how to take his last statement though, but he chuckled at my silent response.
Dean got up from his seat as he was getting ready for his match that was coming up. "Well it was nice to meet you, Sabrina. Hopefully next time we meet, you won't be so silent and we can have a normal conversation…well depends what you define 'normal' since I tend to do things differently." He smirked and walked out, leaving me to myself in the room again.
Once he left, I was just confused about what happened. Did I just have a 'conversation' with the "Lunatic Fringe" Dean Ambrose? Well he did all the talking, but it's just weird to me. I have been here for almost two months and this was my first encounter with the man that some warn me about. Sure our encounter was kind of awkward, but I didn't feel uncomfortable with him around. I don't know, I just felt different is how I could only describe it. However I wonder if we would meet up again…
