Big thank you for the two reviews I got, they meant a lot and it does encourage me to write when people review, again I own nothing.
'How could you not do anything? This wasn't in the script? Why didn't you send anyone down?' Brie was furious with Stephanie for not doing anything to stop Orton that night.
Although Steph and her had never been close they respected each other, Daniel was a key player in the WWE though he had been badly concussed two nights ago and was under orders not to wrestle for at least two weeks.
Brie hated leaving him at home, she hated travelling without him even if Nikki would travel with her. John was off as well, everyone was getting injured lately and without Daniel Orton and Seth Rollins were the two big names on the timetable.
Stephanie had expected Bries visit, but frankly watching the women complain wasn't something she cared about, Daniel hadn't meant to be popular or chosen, sure they had given him a push but the fans had picked up on him far more than had been intended.
As a result, she and her husband had been forced to make him a key player, however much she hated to admit it the fans ultimately had a say, and why they liked someone they like the world know about it. Bloody Twitter she thought to herself, watching Brie get more and more agitated.
The real problem with Daniels success, was that her father happily pointed out she and Hunter weren't able to fully control the company. How could they run a company when the fans were dictating who they wanted to see.
Shane had been more than happy to mock that, and though she had worked with Daniel a lot and grown to like him as a wrestler, he didn't fit what the company wanted.
He wasn't tall, handsome, muscular, in fact he was the opposite, but then they had loved Mick Foley and he was in physically worse shape.
Even Stephanie couldn't deny Daniel was talented in the ring and on the mic.
She nodded and the Bella stopped speaking, 'Brie, I understand you're upset', Steph rose from behind the desk and went the other side, closing the space between the two women, 'but honestly, there wasn't much I could do,
'Randy is one hell of a wrestler and yeah okay he crossed a line but Daniel started the fight, he turned it physical and the fans loved it. You wouldn't be coming to me complaining if Randy was the one out of work for two weeks, honestly it was best for business'
'Steph I know you think that but he was totally out of control, Daniel could have been seriously hurt' Brie interrupted, she saw a flash in Stephanie's eyes as she did this but she was too angry.
'I know that, but he wasn't,' she smiled, 'listen, Daniel is a big boy, he knew starting a fight with Randy might not go well, he chose to do it. Am I going to send out refs and security to pull Randy off him? And what, let those guys get hurt? No, because then I would have to suspend him.
'And whilst you may not like him, right not he is a top earner, a big name, Cena is out at the moment, Brian has been in and out, so yeah we need him, beside, everyone loved it. Especially you running out and trying to stop him, hell the cameras even caught that conversation with you and Orton weeks ago backstage, this is a great angle and again, it's best for business.' Steph finished satisfied, in fact, she realised she could spin this.
Call her father, tell him it was something she had worked up, he would be happy it was doing well, it wouldn't look like she couldn't control Orton and she didn't have to worry about suspending him. Daniel was only off for two weeks, once he was back they could take advantage, set up a big match for the next pay-per-view. Hell throw in the championship and it might even be main event.
Brie wasn't happy though, 'he is out of control'
Steph didn't like that, no, if Brie said it to her others might say it behind her back, it would get back to her father, 'you know what Brie, this is a great angle and it might be good to remind you, that whilst your sister is the Diva's champion you aren't. In fact, you should be grateful that this happened because Nikki, Daniel hell even John Cena are all big names but right now you aren't.
'Be flattered by Randy's interest, tell him you don't want anything I don't care, but get this straight, he isn't out of control. He is fully under my control, just like you. And you my job isn't to keep you happy. No it is to keep all the fans happy, so if you want to cause problems, then maybe Daniel should stay home for a few more weeks, hell, you can stay home with him. May I also remind you, that Randy is a long term friend of mine and Hunters'
Brie was shocked, this was not the direction she had wanted, Daniel was be furious she had spoken to Stephanie in the first place, but leaving and him not being allowed back for weeks would cause all sorts of arguments, 'I didn't mean for that…' she started.
'Good, then it's settled, this is the new angle and since Daniel isn't here I'm leaving you to tell Randy the good news. Today.' And with that Brie was dismissed.
Thanks for reading & please review
