Chapter 1: Static Electricity

Walking backstage on her first night on the main roster, Aria Connors had every symptom of being nervous. She really didn't know anyone, except for brief conversations with the talents that came down to the NXT level of the company. That in itself wasn't very often. The arena was larger than what she was used to and it begged the question, would she be okay in that environment? On top of that so many more questions started to invade her constantly swirling mind. How would she fit in with the other divas? Would she mess up in front of thousands of people?

The butterflies in her stomach were fluttering, making her tremble. The walk down the hall seemed endless; but she finally arrived at the door that read 'Woman's Locker-room'. Pushing the door open, it was completely empty to her eyes. That gave her a moment to relax before she was surrounded by women that would eventually hate her. That's just how women are. It's always about who has better position within the company than it had to do with talent. She knew that better than anyone.

Aria sat her bag down on the floor and sat down on the edge of the bench, leaning forward to unzip her bag. Pulling out the specially made outfit that was gift from the only friend she had down in NXT, Becky Lynch. The material was soft to the touch and lime green in color. A smile formed on her full lush lips. Removing her strapped sandals, she slid her jeans away from her body. Slipping the vinyl pants up, she mentally approved of the look it gave her. Lime green with a white stripe down each leg. The top was a crop tank top that hugged her ribs underneath her breasts.

Laughter cut off the quiet moment when the door opened to reveal two of the main roster divas. Paige and Natalya glanced in the direction of the newcomer. She had long wavy dark brown hair with bright red highlights. Her eyes were the brightest shade of blue they had ever seen, it was uniquely beautiful to see first hand.

"You must be Aria." Natalya stated taking a step closer to the new girl.

"Yeah, it's nice to finally meet you." She replied standing up to shake the veteran's hand.

"I've heard good things about you; but it's no cake walk here. You will definitely be tested."

Taking back her hand, she knew exactly what Natalya was talking about. It was the same questions she had been asking in her own mind. Paige smiled, she reached out to hug her. It had been quite a while since she last saw her. When she debuted on the main roster, Aria was out with a minor injury to her ankle. "So you finally made it up here, how are you feeling?" She asked letting Aria go from the friendly embrace.

"I'm super nervous."

"Rightfully so, you will debuting against me." Another female voice stated coming into the room and the conversation.

Aria shifted her gaze from Paige to the woman who had just walked into the room. It was none other than Brie Bella, sister of the current Divas Champion Nikki Bella. Almost instantly the feeling in the room dampened. Paige's smile quickly faded as she watched Brie walk further into the room, stepping in between the two friends. Her dark eyes glanced at Aria up and down, taking in her look. She noticed her well toned arms and stomach; but her face was rival to her own. Instantly, she felt threatened by her; but unlike Nikki, she would give the girl a chance.

"I look forward to debuting against you, Brie. I've loved watching you grow as a dominant diva in the company." Aria complimented.

"Thank you..."

The woman surprised her by the way she talked. There was a hint of an accent; but she couldn't tell what kind it was. The butterflies in Aria's stomach was slowly going away, which made her happy. It meant that she was finally comfortable in her surroundings. She sat back down on the bench to lace up her wrestling boots. The three other divas went about their business, trying to ready themselves for the show.

Looking down at her phone, she saw that her mother had texted her over an hour prior. Her parents never approved of her ditching the idea of collage to go to try and become a wrestler. She always felt like they were disappointed with what she had become; but when she finally made to the WWE, they started to open up.

Sliding her finger against the screen, she tapped one to open the message. "Good luck tonight, I'll be watching." There was no greater feeling that knowing your parents supported you in what it was you did with your life. Tying the laces into knots, she stood back up fully ready for her debut match. It was time to find a place to stretch out.

Walking out of the locker-room, she wandered the halls trying to find the perfect secluded place to warm up; but there was people everywhere. Camera crews, stage crews, creative department, and so many others were rushing around to get the show ready for the live TV. Aria turned the corner to see Stephanie McMahon talking to some of the creative team members.

"Oh Aria, could I have a moment." Stephanie asked catching sight of her newest member to the roster.

"What's up?"

"How are things going today?"

Aria smiled, she knew that her boss was just curious about how she was feeling. Tucking her hair behind her ear, she opened her mouth to speak; but before she could Randy Orton called out to Stephanie. He seem agitated about something. Maybe it was because he wasn't getting what he wanted, she really didn't know. All she knew was that he was clearly angry.

"Why am I being off another show? This is getting ridiculous." He stated in a loud voice, not yelling but loud enough to get his point across.

"We just don't have anything for you right now, I'm sorry."

Aria could relate to creative teams not having anything for them. Almost a year ago, the same thing happen to her down in NXT. Randy had been written off TV to film a movie; but he was finished and ready to come back. He was chomping at the bit, anxious to get back out there and perform in from the crowds.

Randy let out an annoyed sigh before turning to look at the newest diva on the roster. He recognized her from NXT. She was the one who made a name for herself with the aerial tactics. It wasn't just the aerial moves, her power was no joke either. Aria looked him dead in the eye, there was a softness behind his baby blue eyes that really didn't fit his onscreen personality. She wondered how much of his character was really him.

"She's a new one." He commented.

"Yeah, meet Aria Connors. Newest Diva to the main roster." Stephanie introduced.

Aria held out her hand for him to shake. He looked at her with a questioning gaze and simply walked passed her. She turned around to see him continue on down the hall. That was the first time someone brushed her off when she was trying to be nice. Honestly, she felt like there was more to his behavior than just ignoring a simple handshake.

"I'm sorry about that. He hasn't been very happy with us as of late. There just hasn't been anything for him."

"That's a shame. The people really like him." Aria replied folding her arms across her chest.

"Go on and get ready for your match, I'll talk with you later."

Nodding her head, she stepped aside to let Stephanie walk away. Aria continued onward in finding a place to warm up her muscles. Taking a left down another hallway, she finally found a dead end that would be perfect for her. Resting her leg up on a large box, she leaned forward stretching all the muscles in her thigh. Her legs were the biggest part of her arsenal and needed to be properly warmed up.

Switching legs, she felt the tension release from the muscles. Shaking the kinks from the rest of her body, Aria turned to see a familiar face standing at the end of the hall. Roman Reigns. He pushed himself from the wall he had been leaning against and stood before her with a smile on his face. She couldn't help but return the smile. They had gotten to know each other a little bit while he was training down at the performance center preparing for his return from a hernia injury.

"Hey you." He said taking a step closer to her.

"It's been a while since I've see ya."

"You know how it is. I've been fighting my way to the top."

She laughed at his comment; but that's how it was when coming back from an injury. The fight to get back to where you once were was very real. It was frustrating and disappointing at times. She would know. She had been there once before. "I thought I'd come say hi and wish you luck out there." He said placing a large hand on the top of her head.

"I appreciate that; but I got to get out there soon."

"Talk later then?"

"Sure."

Aria stepped passed him continuing on towards the stage. The butterflies returned to her stomach causing her to feel slightly nauseous; but she suppressed it down by thinking about her how proud her parents were of her in that moment. Turning around once, she saw Paige give her a thumbs up. It was show time. Hearing Brie's entrance music still playing, she waited for the hard rock sound of 'Core of My Addiction' by Fireflight.

She walked through the curtain, stopping at the center of the stage. She was soaking in the feeling of so many people cheering at her entrance. The vision was simply breathtaking. Walking down the ramp, Brie made eye contact with her opponent for the night. Aria stepped through the ropes and stood before Brie. "The following divas contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Scottsdale Arizona...Brie Bella." Lillian introduced allowing Brie a moment to pose for the crowd.

"From Aughrim, County Wicklow Ireland...Aria Connors."

Brie then knew exactly what accent the woman had when she spoke. It made her that much more beautiful in her eyes. The referee signaled for the bell and the match begun whether Aria was ready for it or not. Leaning slightly forward, she locked up with Brie in the center of the ring. Wrapping her arm around her neck, Brie pushed her away only to get knocked down by Aria's shoulder.

Getting back up, Brie countered with a forearm to the face. Stumbling back a step, Aria shifted and struck back with a kick to the gut. Running into the ropes for a springboard effect, she turned her body in mid-air to land on Brie's chest with her legs. Struggling to get back to her feet, Brie clearly had not been prepared for Aria's aerial moves.

A river of dark hair scattered across the mat as Aria went for the cover. At the last moment, Brie lifted her shoulder off the canvas. The commentary crew at ringside were completely stunned by Brie Bella's ability to kick out of such an explosive move. Aria nodded her head, respecting the resilience in the veteran.

Brie struggled to her feet as the crowd got more vocal at the appearance of Nikki Bella. The current Diva's Champion was on no one's favorite list. She had been doing quite a few questionable things as of late that helped maintain her champion status. Aria instantly pointed at the twin, warning her to stay out of the match.

Nikki raised her hands innocently; but leaned against the apron slamming her hand down. She shouted for Brie to get it together and focus on the newbie. Aria turn back around towards her opponent and walked right into a dropkick. Rolling onto her belly, she avoided the running knee. Instead, Aria swung her legs around Brie's neck pulling her down into a pinning combination. The referee was in perfect position to see that the shoulders were down. His hand came down three times, ending the match with a win in Aria Connors column.

The Bella Twins were in complete disbelief at the loss. Nikki rolled into the ring just as Aria slid out of it. She wasn't sticking around to get double teamed. Backing up the ramp, she looked into the ring at the angered veterans and all she could do was smile. The wait was worth it. The live crowd was absolutely amazing and they got behind her every step of the way.

Walking backstage, she reached for a bottle of water sitting in a tub of ice on a table. She heard clapping behind her. Jerking her body around, she saw Randy Orton leaning against the nearest wall clapping his hands together. Aria studied him a moment before thinking of what to say to him. His actions were slightly confusing considering the fact that he had blown off a simple handshake earlier on.

"Impressive." He stated.

"Thank you."

"I apologize for my earlier actions. It's just highly frustrating to be kept off TV, when it's something you want to do."

Aria took a sip from the cold bottle of water. Placing the cap back on, "Don't worry about it. I get it. I'd be pissed to." She replied with a smile. He stared at her, memorizing details of her face. The color of her eyes were strangely unique; but he couldn't seem to stop staring into them. Clearing his throat, he took a couple steps closer to her.

"Should we try this again? I'm Randy Orton..." He introduced holding his hand out.

"Aria Connors..." She replied accepting his handshake with a smile.

The feeling of his skin against hers sent a spark of electricity straight up both their spines. The only logical explanation was just static electricity, nothing more; but to Aria it just seemed like it was more than that. Taking her hand back, she cradled it against her side. "So what do you call that move that nearly knocked Brie out?" He asked.

"Dragon Whisper."

"Nice name for it. Again, I'm sorry for earlier. I got to talk to the creative department about getting myself back out there."

He turned to walk away from her. As he continued to walk, he found himself smiling at the thought of seeing her again. Watching her out in the ring was a special thing to see first hand. Hardly any of the females did aerial moves, not since Lita. He hoped that she'd go far in the division. There was so much potential there.

Aria was slightly taken aback by his appearance and words. She felt bad for him. All he wanted to do was do what he loved most. She felt like she was taking his spot on the show, the new comer. Cursing under her breath, she turned to walk back to the woman's locker-room. Pulling the door open, all the divas were inside changing or getting showers. "There she is!" Paige yelled from across the room with her arms outstretched.

"Awesome job out there tonight." She said again closing the distance between them.

"Thanks, I appreciate it."

"So now, you can come out with us to celebrate a successful debut."

She honestly didn't know if she had that in her. All Aria really wanted to do was get some sleep and call her mom; but the pleading look on Paige's face made her want to cave in. "I don't know. I think I just want a quiet evening in my hotel room."

"Alright then, we are going to be right down the road if you change your mind."

In that moment, Aria doubted that she'd change her mind. Unzipping her bag, she saw there was another text message from her mother. Her heart swelled at the thought of reading it; but the first thing that was on her mind was a hot shower.
