Friday Night Smackdown
Libby was sitting on a crate backstage in her SWAT gear and wearing an eye patch talking to AJ Lee. "So you have a match tonight against Rosa Mendes?"
"Yep! But it'll be over before she knows it," AJ said holding her title belt up on her left shoulder. "I saw your match last night, it was good."
"Yeah I enjoyed it. I did not enjoy having to fight against Paige."
"Hey, I wouldn't really trust Paige. You saw what she did to me didn't you?"
"Yeah but she just wants your title belt." AJ stood up from the crate.
"I'm just saying, Libby. Paige is not one to be trusted." AJ looked around. "So where's your boyfriend," she said with one of her little girl smiles. AJ turned and skipped away. Libby didn't know what to think of with the things that AJ said. Libby knew that right now AJ and Paige were not on good terms with each other, so maybe AJ is just saying stuff to drive a wedge between Libby and Paige. Libby didn't really know AJ that well, but what she did know is what everyone in the locker room says about her and that is that she is crazy. Libby just shook it off and started walking around backstage.
As much as Libby tried to ignore AJ's warning, she couldn't help but think about it. Libby was deep in thought and not really paying attention about where she was going. The show would be starting soon and she would be a guest on Miz Tv. Libby started recalling her memories of the past few months and as if at the flick of a switch, she realized something. Right at that moment Libby was turning a corner and walked straight into to someone. "I am so sorry," Libby said looking, only to find that the person she had walked into was none other than Seth Rollins. "Oh it's you," she said rolling her eyes.
"Nice to see you too. What's with the eye patch?" Libby lifted it up to reveal her black eye. "Damn."
"Yeah all thanks to your pal Randy Orton."
"So where are you headed?" Libby threw him a disgusted look.
"None of your business."
"All right fine! But before you leave I just wanted to say, we make a good team don't we?" Seth asked with a smile on his face.
"Seth stop it!" Libby did not appreciate the advances he was making. "We had a good match. That doesn't make us a team. What happened last night will never happen again. I don't trust you Seth!" Libby could tell that made Seth mad. "I don't appreciate you coming to defend me either, just leave me alone."
"Is there a problem here?" Both Libby and Seth turned to find Roman walk towards them. Libby gave sigh of relief.
"Nope, he was just leaving," she said turning back to Seth. Seth gave her one last look before walking away. Libby turned to Roman.
"What was that all about?" Libby started shaking her head.
"Nothing, just Seth being Seth."
"Well come on they want you near gorilla." Roman grabbed Libby's hand and the two walked away.
The Miz walked out on stage and accepted the boos from the WWE Universe. He took his place and the ring and gave his little acceptance speech for winning the IC title, as if we haven't heard it before. "Now I would like to introduce my guest for tonight, Libby." Libby's music hit and she walked out from gorilla and threw her arms up for the WWE Universe. Roman accompanied Libby to the ring. Libby grabbed a mic and took a seat while Roman stood behind her. "Thank you Libby for coming on my show."
"Well, thank you for having me Miz."
"I've seen what you've done since you've made it to the WWE and I must say that some of it is impressive."
"Well thank you Mi"-
"But it's not as impressive as the Marine 4 is going to be or my victory at Battleground when I because the new Intercontinental Champion!" Libby turned to glance at Roman and then shot The Miz a dirty look for cutting her off. The crowd booed. "So Libby, let's have a look back at all you've done here in the WWE." The Miz gestured towards the Titantron where a montage of Libby started playing. It showed close-ups of Libby being a Rosebud for Adam. Then Libby's debut and some of the matches with her and Adam. "It looks here like the two of you had a little thing for each other and even became a team. But Adam didn't satisfy you enough because you started looking elsewhere," Miz said to the WWE Universe. The montage then jumped to footage of Redacted interfering in Roman's matches and clips of Libby and Roman backstage. Then the unveiling of Redacted's identity. "Well I guess didn't like not knowing who his secret admirer was. It brought a smile to Libby and Roman's face to watch the footage but those smiles went away with The Miz's commentary.
"That is not at all what happened!" Libby said in the mic.
"Oh, oh, oh. Just wait Libby there's more."
"No! I don't want to see anymore footage," Libby said while getting up from her seat. "The only thing that I want right now is answers and I'm going to get them tonight. So Adam, you better get your fisted ass out here right now and start talking!" The Miz leaned back on the ropes with a smirk on his face. All he was interested in was starting trouble. Libby and Roman stood side by side in the ring waiting for Adam.
Adam's music started playing and he walked out without his Rosebuds. He kept a watchful eye on Libby and Roman as he walked down the ramp and climbed into the ring. He grabbed a mic and had a very sorrowful look on his face. "Libby, just calm down. You need to understand that everything I did was for your own good."
"My own good! I'm broke and it is all because of you!" The crowd started going crazy and Adam had to take a deep breath before speaking again.
"Come on Libby, just stop. This isn't you! You're not a lemon."
"YES I AM! And it's all your fault! Now start talking!" Adam didn't say anything. He just stared down at Libby.
"Well Adam," started The Miz, "If you can't find the words to speak then this footage can just speak for you." The Miz gestured towards the Titantron again. Footage of Stephanie McMahon and Adam having a discussion backstage started to play.
"So we have a deal then?" said Stephanie. "You're going to do the Authority a favor and get rid of that Libby." To which Adam agreed. Libby was in shock from watching it. She and Roman both turned to Adam who had look on his face like a child gets when they get caught sticking their hands in the cookie jar.
"Where did you get that footage!" Adam yelled at The Miz. The Miz just smirked and shrugged his shoulders. Adam turned back to Libby and Roman. "Oh don't even act surprised!" Adam said pointing to Roman, "You knew about it the whole time!"
"What?" Libby said stepping away from Roman. Roman confessed but Libby was still in shock to really react. "Adam I just can't believe you! After all we've been through, you go and sell out to the Authority!"
"Libby I had no other choice. It was either I destroy you or Kane."
"Adam! You don't stab your friends in the back!" Libby was furious.
"Libby. It may not have been the highlight of my career but you seem to be managing well without me." Adam said looking at Roman. Roman grew angry and started walking towards Adam. Libby stopped him.
"Adam." Libby started looking at him with evil eyes. "You better pray that someone pours some sugar on me, because I'm only getting sour and sour. Eventually I'm going to get rotten and you won't even be able to handle it. Don't be a Rosebud everyone," Libby said to the crowd and then faced Adam again. "Because the only thing that you're going to do is wilt." Libby threw done her mic and left the ring. Roman trailed behind her.
