Characters : Kelsa Cage / John Cena / Lots more.
Her back totally ached from that nights practice. She was so grateful that Vince Mcmahon offered her this job for which she had aspired for so long, however only now was the agony of her choice sinking in. Sure she loved all the action and athleticism wrestling was made of, she had always been a tough honey, but tonight, sitting in the bar drinking back a milk, she was hurting due to a clothesline delivered at OVW by a very strong lad known as Wire. Quickly after exiting the ring from which the OVW crowd was shouting at, Wire had chased after Kelsa to make sure she was okay and that his clothesline wasn't too much for her. She assured him she'd be alright, although she knew she would be sore later. And yes, here not more than 3 hours later, she was sore. She looked up at the TV screen in the bar and saw the Subway commercial starring John Cena. As she finished her milk she smirked at the television set and thought, man, he must think he is all that. She never liked that John Cena, never having actually met him, she could just tell there was something about him that irked her the wrong way. Sure he was handsome, and somewhat funny, but to her, he was just another big shot wrestling guy that thinks his stuff doesn't stink and probably even was cockier than anyone she ever knew. No no, she knew if she ever had the opportunity to share a roster with him she would likely steer clear of him. His kind was never any good for her. "Another cow juice "? The bartender asked Kelsa. "No thank you though, I'm good." With that, she paid for her glass, and left to go back to the apartment complex for which she stayed at while training down in Ohio. Driving back to the apartment, she thought, wow I've been here for 10 months, longer than anyone else at OVW and I am grateful to Mr. Mcmahon for this opportunity, but I really am ready for the big time. WWE. Sure she was only 22 years old, but to her, time was quickly passing and she was yearning more than ever to be a diva on Raw. Lucky for her the next morning…
Chapter 2
Early the next morning before Kelsa even had breakfast, she received an unfamiliar phone call. " Hello?"Hi, is this Kelsa Cage?"
"Yes it is" Whose this"
"Hi Hun, this is Barb Tomliss calling for Mr. Mcmahon., If you would, he would like to have a meeting with you this afternoon if its possible.
"Oh, wow, yeah sure that would be great, " Not really knowing what the meeting was about, she was somehow excited.
"Okay, pack some things, and be at the Ohio Inter. Airport at 5 pm today, and we'll have a car awaiting you in Westman, PA. "
"Westman, PA?? isn't that where Raw is at tonight??"
"Yes it is, well we will see you then bye hon."
Oh wow, Kelsa thought, and what could this mean? She's having a meeting with Mr. Mcmahon at the same area RAW is being held? She didn't want to get her hopes up to much. But she hurried and packed and quickly 5 rolled around.
As she stepped off of the plane and felt the cool breeze hit her face she suddenly got very nervous. She decided to take a deep breath and realize whatever this meeting was about, it would be okay.
She was lead to her ride by someone who had known her very well…
Chapter 3
"Trish??? Trish is that you oh my goodness Trish !! HI!! "
"Hey girl!! Oh wow, it's been like a year?!? Come here!"
Trish and Kelsa go back. Kelsa had always been a huge fan of Trish, and Trish had seen something in Kelsa when she saw her back at OVW about a year ago, it was about 10 months to be exact. They got to talking and discovered they had a lot in common and practically hung out any chance they got. They were really close and although had been far away from each other, with Trish being on the road w/ wrestling, they still kept in touch through the phone and online.
As Trish took kelsa and dragged her into the car they quickly caught up w/ chat.
"So how is everything Kelsa? How are you doing?"
"Well, as of now I'm super excited, but I'm just curious about what this whole thing is about, do you know?"
"Well Kelsa, All I can tell you, is there has been lots of talk about you recently. You know when Mr. Mcmahon, myself, Torrie, and HHH came to OVW to visit 6 months ago? "
"Yeah how could I forget? "
"Well anyways, everyone was So impressed with you and theres been lots of talk since. "
"Really?" Wow, I hope that means good news!"
"Oh we're here! I've got to run back to the hotel, I will be back to pick you up in an hour? "
"Wait an hour? What if I'm done before then? "
"Don't worry,,, an hour. "
"Okay,? "
"Miss Cage, this way, "a lady in all black escorted Kelsa to a huge office.
A sign on the door read, Chairman Vince McMahon.
The lady knocked on the door and Vince said come in.
Chapter 4.
"Kelsa Cage, have a seat. I'm going to make this very simple and short. We want you. You have exactly the kind of "it" factor we like in our divas. Not to mention your in the ring ability is great. So tonight if you want to go behind the scenes of a RAW Monday night live, that would be wonderful. If you decide to go ahead and sign a contract after that, one will be waiting with your name on it. Just be at the Honda Center tonight by 6-30 tell the man you wish to see Joe Gleams and tell him your name and he will help you backstage. So thank you Kelsa, but I have to run. "
As Kelsa sat in the office she began to tear up. OH my word!! I can't believe this! She quickly bounced to reality and got so excited she ran out of the room gleaming with smiles!! She couldn't wait to tell trish, oh great Trish won't be there to meet her for an hour??
"SURPRISE!! Congratulations ! "Trish jumped from behind the door with a stuffed animal and cupcakes!
Chapter 5.
As Trish and Kelsa sat in the car driving back to the hotel Trish had this to say.
"So congratulations girl on getting the job I'm so happy to finally see you on ship! "
"Thanks, I'm super excited! Good thing I packed A TON of stuff coming up here. "
"Yeah no kidding, but heres the scoop, we are going to run to my hotel room I'm gonna have a shower, and then get ready to head to Honda Center. From there, I'm going to get ready for the show and then I will see you backstage. "
"Sounds good. I'm guessing I can use your hotel room to get ready? "
"Oh yeah! "
As soon as Trish left, Kelsa started pacing around the room. This was her night to meet everyone she had to dress to impress?
She unfolded her big suitcase and dumped all her clothes she brought onto the bed. No this won't work, no not this either, YEAH this will do. It was a tight bright green shirt that was very cute. She would wear that with tight jeans and sexy boots. She had her long blonde hair up in a pony. She looked really cute. Not sexy, but cute. Cute was definitely the way to describe her style. She was conservative but very beautiful. She was never very comfortable in revealing and "hot" outfits. But this worked for her. She was a good girl with good morales. And she knew exactly what she wanted.
At the door followed by at least one hundred people waiting to get into the Honda center she was next to hand her ticket.
"Yeah I'm here on business I need to see Joe Gleams?"
"Oh Hi, are you kelsa? "
"Yeah thats right. "
"I'm Joe, just one minute, PETE! hey I need you to take over my shift now. This is the girl I'm supposed to escort backstage. "
As he took her by the arm, he moved around lots of people and opened up a door that read EXIT only, he said" now I can go with you, or you can feel free to take off by yourself its up to you. "
"I can go myself. Thank you. "
She looked down a long hall and couldn't see anyone. she saw a second hallway that crossed the first one quite a ways down. She took a breath and started off that way. As she got a little closer she saw Carlito pass ahead. She got excited and hurried her pace. As she got to the end of the hall, she turned to her right to see at least 4 wrestlers she recognized. It was Carlito, Chris Masters, Jeff Hardy and Maria. As she walked passed, she heard Carlito say, " Now that is cool." She knew he was talking to her so she gave him a glance that read " What are you looking at?" As she turned to him Carlito said, "yeah sweet thang, I'm talking to you. " She just blushed and turned to leave. As Maria giggled, she grabbed Kelsa on the arm. " Kelsa is it? Kelsa replied yeah, how did you know? Maria said Oh well us divas are expecting you. Hey girl, I'm Maria and this is Jeff, Chris and the pimp himself Carlito. " Everyone laughed. Everyone exchanged hi's and then Maria offered to show Kelsa around a bit.
Surprised at how kind Maria was, she took her up on that offer and they began walking down the hall.
"Now this is the ladies locker room where we all gossip about the boys. " they both laughed.
"And this way down here… is the boys locker room. where we don't dare go for fear that the smell might make us pass out. " They laughed again.
"Maria, are you seeing any of the wrestlers ? Or is that whole dating each other thing kind of a no no?"
"Well as of right now I've got my eyes on Jeff, but we're just friends… for now anyways. "
"You guys would be a cute couple. "
"Thanks I think so too lol"
a man with an earpiece and a clipboard ran down the hall and shouted, 10 minutes til showtime everyone 10 minutes!!
"Oh that's our cue, well Kelsa it was great talking to you , as short as it was but I hope I'll see you after the show and oh I gotta go!! enjoy! "
"thanks !! have fun! "
as the hallways quickly became flooded with superstars headed off to their areas for showtime she became overwhelmed by all the talent! She spotted Torrie, HHH, Hbk, Johnny Nitro and Melina, Mickie, Edge, Edge… wow he was hot. She always liked edge she thought he was cute. But she felt in the way so she ran down to the girls locker room and knocked. She entered and saw Candice, and Trish!
"trish there you are, wow you look hot!"
"thanks girl I've been waiting for you! Candice this is her! "
"Hi, I'm Candice welcome to raw! " "Hi Candice, thank you so much wow you look great too! "
"Thanks but I've got to run I have a match w/ maria first! bye girls! "
"Bye! "
"Trish oh wow, I'm so excited to be here I just saw hhh and hbk, and edge… "
"edge? uh oh… girl you do NOT need to be crushin on edge I told you he is bad news. "
"Crushing? Trish come on, I'm not crushing on Edge, or adam or whatever , I just you know, think hes fine! "
"Well that may be but don't let him know that, EGO maniac!! "
"really? And here all this time I thought John Cena waas the ego maniac! "
"well , I don't run into john cena too often hes always with a different girl after the shows. But yeah I'm sure he is an ego maniac as well. "
"Really? Always w/ a different girl huh? hes that big of a player? "
"Honey one thing you learn about wrestlers, there are no relationships here, only relations. "
"what do you mean?"
"I mean most of the guys in this industry are players, it's the name of the game."
Oh, " a little surprised at trish's bluntness, she knew some had to be playing the field but most? yikes.
"Well girl I think you need to go mingle a bit and get to know some people so I don't have a match for awhile so come on."
Following trish they stopped to see Hbk and Hhh
"Hunter, shawn , this is raws newest diva Kelsa Cage. "
"Kelsa? Wow pretty name,"Said HBK, and pretty girl.
She blushed for a second time that night.
Hunter agreed by saying very pretty girl." Where are you from?"
After a quick thanks , Kelsa said she was from Arkansas.
Hunter and HBK said at the same time.. " Woah woah woah country girl"
"lol yeah,."Said kelsa.
W"ell the gang is going out to Montro 9 after the show, you should definitely join up Kelsa." HHH replied to the girls.
Trish said. "Yeah it's the hottest club out this way. You'll have a blast."
"Yeah for sure, sounds fun." Said kelsa with that trish took her by the hand and said " Bye boys!"
They heard John Cena's theme song and Kelsa said, lets go sneak a peak. Trish said "I got the impression you didn't like John Cena."
"Well I don't, he seems so cocky but…… I would like to see him perform I mean he is the champ? "
"Well okay. through here…" trish took her hand.
As they walked through an area that looked off limits they got a clear view of the ramp to the ring. "Wow there he is huh. He's so fine."
"Kelsa? You just said hes way cocky and you DO not like that kind of guy, yet you think hes fine? okay okay I won't bust your chops the guy is gorgeous."
they both giggled.
About 20 minutes later, trish had to go to get ready.
"You'll be fine right? if you want you can have a seat here at the back and greet wrestlers as they pass by?"
"oh sounds fun, the corny greeter in the hall?"
"haha kelsa your crazy you look great and you need to meet some people so get on!"
" okay. but come get me as soon as your done. "
"will do."
Kelsa sat there all lonely for what felt like the longest time until….
chapter 5.
Along came a big and masculine build that sat right across the table from her.
she looked up to see none other than john cena staring directly at her.
he didn't say anything but kept staring.
She nervously gave him a smile that made her feel uncomfortable.
"maybe I shouldn't be sitting here, or am I in the way?" all these thoughts ran through her.
about 3 minutes had passed then he finally spoke up.
"I'm John."
"yeah I know, hi, I'm kelsa."
"Kelsa, beautiful." he said
"Thanks my mom chose the name." she said.
"I meant the girl."
Oh, only this time she dind't blush.
Wow, real smooth she thought, I wonder how many times hes used that one on girls.
"well kelsa I take it you're the new diva I've been hearing so much about?"
"Depends, what have you heard?"
"well that you're the newest diva" trying to make her laugh
She giggled a bit and said" well yeah in that case. That's me."
"Nice to meet you cutie, but I got to go. I guess I'll be seeing you. Bye Kels."
"Bye Bye." "Kels" she thought? hasn't even known me for 4 minutes and already is giving me a nickname? he moves fast.
