I decided to write this story after typing a bio for and using my OC, Alexis Hardy. If you want to read it, everything you need to know about Alexis will be found on my profile. I own none of the other Superstars and Divas used in this story.
"Another week, another few days of taping and traveling." Alexis Hardy mused out loud to herself. Alexis was a worker in the WWE and needless to say, she loved her job a lot. But then again, she'd been with the company ever since she was 15, which is something that surprises people when she tells them how many years she's been working as a pro wrestler. One thing she started to despise about the company as of late though was the fact that so many of the newer wrestlers acted cocky and arrogant on-screen as well as off-screen, so Alexis, or Alex as her friends and family members called her, tended to stay away from mostly everyone. Because of this, most of her co-workers passed around rumors saying things like Alex was stuck-up or she thought she was better than everyone there.
Sighing, Alex flopped down on the couch in her locker room backstage, put in her earbuds, and decided to listen to her iPod until her friends R-Truth and Kofi were done with their segments and matches for the week so they could leave. Alex had her own match earlier on the show where she fought and won against Tensai. 'He was too easy to beat. I've fought him before, so I just had to keep my speed up.' Alex thought to herself smiling. She had almost drifted off into a nap when the rumbling of her stomach woke her up. 'Damn it I'm hungry. Guess I'll head to catering to see if I can scrape up something to eat. I knew I should've brought my emergency stash of Pocky.' Alex thought to herself. Groaning, she leapt up from the couch and went out into the hallway when she almost ran into one of the other Superstars.
"Ow! I'm so sorry. I should've been watching where I was going." Alex apologized.
"Yeah you should've, you little creep." the other person snapped.
"Oh fuck. Hello Mikey." Alex said, groaning when she finally saw who it was.
"That's The Miz to you, you little runt. Where are you headed off to? Going to find something to break?" The Miz said mockingly.
"No, if you must know, I was heading to catering. Contrary to what everyone believes not all of the women here 'fear the fork', so to speak." Alex said.
"I know you don't. I can tell from the way you were having a speed-eating race with Phil that you eat. Plus it's kind of obvious from how big your stomach is." Miz said, laughing.
"Ooh. You really burned me with that one. LayCool just sent me text Mikey. They want their insults back." Alex said, smirking.
With a pained look on his face, Miz said, "Whatever. I've got more important things to do with my time than argue with some little kid." After saying that, he turned on his heel and left the way he was heading.
Sighing, Alex just walked along singing in time with the Sleeping With Sirens song 'With Eyes to Hear and Ears to See'. She finally made it to the catering area and got some of the cookies that were laying out when she felt a tap on her shoulder. Spinning around, she found herself face to face with Stephanie McMahon.
"Hey Steph. What brings you to these parts?" Alex said smiling.
"Hey Alexis. I'm here because my dad wants to talk to you. He's in his office here if you want to see him." Stephanie said.
"Sure thing." Alex said. She had no clue why Vince McMahon would want to see her, but knowing him he might have wanted to consider giving her a new gimmick. As she was walking with Stephanie, Alex asked "By any chance, do you know why your dad wants to talk to me? Last time I went to see him, he tried to get me to wear more girly clothes as my ring attire."
"If I remember right, he said something about trying to give you a storyline with some of the Diva rookies on NXT. So that means you have to have bonding time with some of our new recruits." Stephanie said.
"Great." Alex said, not so enthusiastically. It's something that's a little known fact about Alexis is the fact that she didn't really want anything to do with the Divas, whether it was Divas already on the roster or the WWE's newest finds. To Alex, all of the Divas were either horrible wrestlers or just too pretty. She missed being surrounded by Divas that she made friends with, but she still kept in touch with her friends so that made things easier on her.
When they finally made it to Mr. McMahon's office, they went inside to find the boss himself waiting for them. "Alexis, welcome. Please have a seat." Mr. McMahon said, gesturing to the chairs in front of him.
After Alex sat down, she immediately asked Vince, "Ok Mr. McMahon. Stephanie told me that you're trying to peg me with a new storyline mentoring some of the rookie Divas. Who are they and when do I start?"
"Well, first of all, the Divas should be two that you should have no problem working with seeing as how they mirror you in personality. The Divas you have to mentor are AJ Lee and Kaitlyn. But respectively their names are April Mendez and Celeste Bonin. You start next Tuesday." Mr. McMahon said.
'AJ Lee and Kaitlyn? Ugh. They already sound like a couple of not that talented Barbies.' Alex thought. Sighing, Alexis stood up and said, "Fine. So am I going to have to follow a script or am I going to be able just ad-lib what I say?"
"We decided that since both of these women are still a little green you're going to have the liberty to ad-lib everything to say. Then if we like how things are going, we'll consider giving you three scripts to make things official on-screen. And Alexis, this means that you are going to have to spend time with these girls. As soon as you meet them next Tuesday, you're going to be traveling with them too. Understood?" Stephanie said.
Groaning, Alex said "Fine." Once they finalized the details of the storyline, Alex left the office and headed straight back to her locker room. As soon as she got back, she slammed the door, ran to the couch, grabbed one of the pillows, buried her face in it, and screamed as loud as she could. After she finished screaming, she collapsed on the couch with tears running down her face. 'Why? Out of all the people to work on this roster, why do I have to work with the fucking Divas?' Upon hearing her door open, she saw R-Truth and Kofi come in with their bags ready, but when they saw Alex in tears, they each took a seat on the couch on either side of her.
"Alex, what's wrong?" Kofi asked, putting an arm around Alex.
Wiping her face, she said "I just came back from a meeting with Vince and Stephanie. They want to put me in a storyline with two people at once."
"Well, that's cool. Who are the lucky guys you get to be in a storyline with?" R-Truth asked.
"That's the thing. The two people in this storyline with me aren't guys. They're honest-to-goodness Divas." Alex said, tearing up again.
"Maybe it won't be so bad. These two can't possibly be as bad as some of the ones in the past. And who knows? Maybe some of your skills and awesomeness might rub off on them." Kofi said smiling.
"He's got a point Alex. I mean, you might actually like having to spend time with other girls instead of the two of us and the other guys all the time." R-Truth said laughing.
Wiping her face again and laughing, Alex said "You might just be right. Maybe I can milk some fun out of doing this. Now let's head back to the hotel. Fighting Tensai wore me out. Plus I need to call Matt and Jeff and tell them the good news, provided they aren't asleep yet."
Alex left the arena and headed back to the hotel with R-Truth and Kofi. The trio checked in and they went to their own rooms. After Alex took her shower and got dressed in her pajamas, she rummaged around in her bag and got her Skelanimals rabbit Jack out and laid in bed, preparing to call her brothers. After her phone rang for a few seconds, Matt finally answered. "Hey Alex. We just saw you on RAW and we think it's epic that you beat Tensai the way you did."
Smiling into the phone, Alex said "Thanks. I was sure after that splash he almost had me, but like a Hardy, I didn't give up."
"Awesome. Nice to see that us training you hasn't failed." Matt laughed. "So what makes you want to call us at 11:45 at night? Don't you have to get some sleep so that you can make your flight back home in the morning?"
"That's the thing I wanted to talk to either you or Jeff about. Vince and Stephanie had a meeting with me and they want to give me a new storyline." Alex said.
"That's awesome. Who are the guys you get to feud with now?" Matt asked.
"Actually the girls I'm in a storyline with are new. Vince wants me to mentor them so that they can get a good feel for being in the company. And me being the dope I am, I agreed." Alex said. "What if I do this and they don't want to work with me?"
"Sis. Calm down because if you don't when you get home, all of your signed Alesana posters will a big pile of ashes. You just need to give being around these Divas a chance. If they like, then that rocks. If they don't, then they're losing out on being friends with one of the coolest people in the world." Matt said reassuringly.
"Thanks for those words of encouragement. Now do you think you and Jeff could do a bit of research into their backgrounds and let me what you two find? Their names are April Mendez and Celeste Bonin. I'm so tired now." Alex said yawning.
"Sure. Now make sure you get enough sleep. The others can't wait to play once you get home. Night baby sis. Love you." Matt said.
"I love you too big bro. Good night." Alex said, ending the call. Once she turned off the lights in her room, she rolled over on her side and grabbed Jack. 'Maybe what Matt, Ron, and Kofi said. Maybe I will like these new girls. But then again, with my luck, I'll just be thankful if they even want to talk to me.' Alex thought before she fell asleep.
