Damage and Jewels sat together in the back. Smackdown had been pretty boring lately. All the cameras were focused on the Riott Squad and Charlotte, occasionally Naomi and Becky Lynch. Even Carmella was pushed out of the spotlight, even though she was the first ever, Ms. Money in the Bank.

"Cody has been doing so good since he's left the WWE." Jewels said starting at the latest updates on her cellphone.


"So, I just tell you about what I think of the clip?" Jewels asked staring in the camera. "Oh describe what's going on got it." She nodded. "I'm currently dating former WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes. He's been doing extremely well on the independent circuit as of lately, which is great for him and I'm really proud of him."


"Almost makes you wish you would've left with him, huh?" Damage grinned looking over to Jewels. Jewels smiled sheepishly.

"I mean, sometimes." She said. "But I've worked my ass off to get to the WWE and would like to win a title or two before I leave."

"Fat chance." Damage said. "Us girls have a total of two titles to fight over and it's one on each show. And there's at least ten other girls going for the title."

"It sucks." Jewels said. "It's like they want to give us equality with the boys and they gave us Money in the Bank and this Royal Rumble, but no more titles. Could you image if they gave us Women's Tag Team titles."

"We would be unstoppable." Damage grinned. "We would never drop the titles. We know each other better than any other girls on the roster."


"I've known Jewels for years now." Damage said. "We worked together down in developmental and on NXT before we met Savanna. Then the three of us became a stable, Savanna got most of the lime light and whatever, we were her lackies to put it lightly. Savanna was nice though. She was a really good leader and I mean after that Jewels and I started getting shots at other championships and whatever."


"It sucks." Jewels said sitting back in her chair. "All the directors do is point everything back to the Riott Squad."

"The Welcoming Committee had a little going for them too." Damage replied. "Before the idea died."

"Maybe this TV show will help us get a little recognition though." Jewels said. The girls nodded their heads before turning their attention back to their phones. Not long after there was loud voices coming from the hallway. Jewels and Damage stood up and walked out the hallway and followed the voices.

"Aralynn, why are you ignoring us?" Liv asked. "I thought we were all friends."

"Yea, we just want you to get the attention you deserve." Ruby added.

"When was the last time you even had a match?" Sarah grinned. Aralynn looked up at the woman and rolled her eyes before trying to past.

"We aren't done talking yet." Ruby grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Aralynn now stood in the middle of all the woman.

"Is there a problem?" Damage asked. The Riott squad turned their attention to them.

"Does it look like there's a problem?" Sarah asked.

"Well, yea." Jewels said simply. "If there wasn't one, why would Damage ask."

"You girls should beat it before I beat you." Damage replied crossing her arms over her chest. Ruby locked eyes with Damage.

"You better watch your back." Ruby said before turning away.

"You should get a better haircut!" Jewels yelled after them before turning her attention to Aralynn.

"You good?" Damage asked.

"Yea, I'm fine." Aralynn replied.

"I don't get why girls have to be so catty." Jewels said.

'I appreciate it." She said. "Ever since I got here, everyone's kinda ignored me. Except for Ruby and her goon squad. It's because we had beef down on NXT and Ruby hasn't like me since."

"Well, we've got your back no matter." Damage said.

"Yea, maybe we can become a trio and give the goon squad a run for their money." Jewels said hopefully.

"That's not a bad idea." Damage said nodding her head. "Jewels you're a genius, we just got to get the storyline writers to actually utilize our potential."

"Fat chance of that happening. Ric Flair's daughter will always be the center of attention." Aralynn added.

"You're really pessimistic." Jewels said.

"I call it being a realist." Aralynn shrugged.

"Our opportunity will come sooner or later." Damage said.


Damage sat down on her couch and folded her feet underneath her. She sent a text and set her phone down before picking her braided hair up and putting it into a ponytail. She was dressed in dark gray leggings and a neon green tank top with matching Nike's. The perfect ten walked out of a room holding a plate with green beans and a piece of steak on it and looked at her.

"Where are you headed?" Tye Dillenger asked.

"To the gym and then maybe a jog." Damage replied.

"Oh, do you want me to get dressed really quick and go with you?" Tye asked, he wore sweat pants and no top.

"Oh." Damage said.

"Or were you going with someone else?" He asked taking a bite of green beans.

"I was going to go with AJ." She said. "We haven't hung out in a while and he's in town so we were going to hit up the gym and go for a run and then catch some lunch."

"Oh, ok." Tye said giving a weird smile and nodding before continuing to the kitchen.

"Unless you don't want me to hang out with him?" Damage replied.

"Nope, you're good." Tye replied finishing his food and rinsing his plate under water before setting it into the dishwasher.

"Good because I was going to go anyways." She laughed.

"Of course you were." Tye replied under his breath. "You don't hang out with a lot of girls, ya know."

"I hang out with Jewels all the time." She said.

"Yea, but you have two friends." Tye said.

"What? No." Damage said shocked, but knowing it was true.

"Maybe you should hang out with some of the girls from work?" He asked.

"Maybe." Damage said her phone dinged and she looked at it. "AJ is leaving for the gym and I'm going to meet him there. I'll be home in a little. Love you." She said grabbing a tote bag and walking out the door.

"Love you too." He said as the door shut.


Jewels tapped her feet on the ground staring at her laptop screen waiting for a reply. She was waiting for her daily facetime from Cody. It was the only bad part of dating someone who was no longer at the company. They barely ever got time to see each other and it sucked, but they both were focusing on making the most on their careers before settling down for anything major.

"Hey babe." She answered as the Skype call began.

"Hi." He smiled. "What's new?"

"Damage and I saved this girl Aralynn who was getting picked on by Ruby and her squad." She shrugged.

"That's very noble of you." He said. "Wish I could've seen you be a superhero for some poor girl."

"Yea, I wish you could be here for it." She replied. He frowned. "It's okay though. I understand why you can't be and everything.."

"I'm sorry." He said.

"No, no really it's okay." She said. She bit her lip and her eyes darted away.

"But..." He said, knowing the face.

"It's just hard because you're the only person I have supporting me." She said tearing up. "I haven't spoken to my parents in God knows how long."

"That's not your fault." He said. "This is your dream and you deserve to live it."

"I know." She said letting a couple of tears fall. She tried blinking them away. "I miss you."

"I miss you too." He said. "Hey, what if I take some time off in two months and I spend a week with you."

"Really?" She smiled.

"Yea, I can do that. We aren't going to see each other until June and I think I would love to see you sooner than three months from now." He replied.

"That would be so amazing." She smiled.

"But only, if you stop crying." He replied. Jewels ran her manicured hand across her face and smiled.

"I'm so excited." She grinned. "Now, can we talk about something else."

"What's that?" He asked.

"Can you please dye your hair back to brown?" She grinned.

"How dare you?" He asked. "My dad and brother are both blonde and you want me to be the odd ball out?"

"Cody..." She started. "I've just known you for so long with brown hair and..."

"Well, I say good day to that then." He replied turning his head away from her.

"Cody.." She said.

"I said good day." He looked back to the screen before the call ended. Jewels mouth fell open as she stared at her phone. Almost immediately she received a FaceTime from Cody again. She stared at it and let it ring.

Babe, it was a joke... She read the text as it popped up onto her screen. She snickered a little before calling him back again.


Savanna pulled her brown hair into a messy bun as she stared at her laptop screen. Square black glasses sat on the bridge of her nose and she bit her bottom lip as she tapped a pen on a desk. A slouchy gray sweater was the only thing she wore over her dark blue Calvin Klein boy shorts. She pulled a knee to her chest as she reread the articles that were posted online. All of them talked about either Absolution, the Riot Squad, Charlotte, Becky and Naomi. She let out a sigh realizing she was out of the spotlight.

"Roman, I don't know what I'm going to do." Savanna said spinning around in her chair towards Roman who sat sprawled out on the couch in their study reading a lengthy novel.

"Well princess, you can go get your hair or nails done, you could go play tennis with the Tiffany tennis ball carrier I paid $1500 for because you couldn't just leave your balls in the bag because they might fall out, oh or you could use the Louis Vuitton Skateboard case I spent $8,000 and go learn how to skateboard or you could..." Roman replied looking over the top of his book.

"Roman, you don't have to be so mean. And that's not what I meant." She pouted before turning around and looking back to the computer. Roman let out a sigh and sat up and set his book down.

"What don't you know, baby girl?" He asked. Savanna didn't reply right away.

"I don't know how I'm going to get back into the spotlight." She said. "It's always been the Savanna hour. I've always been at the top and now... I'm no better than Blue Pants." She said disgusted thinking of her as she turned back to Roman.

"You're still the best, princess." Roman said holding his arms out to Savanna. She went over and sat on his lap. "You just aren't thinking with your head. What do all of the girls who are at the top right now have that you don't?"

"Hair extensions?" She asked not sure where Roman was going with this.

"No, think about it." He said. "The Riott Squad." And just like that it clicked.

"How'd you get so smart, babe?" She asked giving him a kiss.

"Part of being the big dog, I guess." He grinned at her.

"I know the perfect girls for this job." Savanna smiled sinisterly.


Aralynn arrived at Chez Llama wearing the fanciest thing she owned which was just a black dress and a pair of black strappy sandals. She was excited for her meeting with Stephanie. It sounded like she was finally getting a run for a title. She was shown to her table and she sat down moving her curled brown and purple hair over her shoulders. She waited for a few minutes before checking the time on her phone. It wasn't like Stephanie to be late like this.

"Aralynn?" Jewels said. Aralynn turned around looking at Jewels who wore a skin tight off the shoulder dark purple dress and black booties. "What are you doing here?"

"I have a meeting." She said. "What are you doing here?"

"I have a meeting too." She said scrunching up her face. "I guess I can sit with you until it starts." She said sitting down.

"What are you guys doing here?" Damage asked as she walked up. She wore a stunning red dress with lace sleeves.

"It seems like we're being set up." Blake said rounding at corner wearing a black pencil skirt and a jade green long sleeve top.

"Isn't it weird that all of us are here and the only one that isn't is Savanna." Katarina said. She wore a white dress that stopped midthigh that was covered in lace.

"Well, looks like you've figured me out." Savanna said walking up to the table. She wore a maroon halter dress that flowed at the bottom. She walked past everyone towards the head of the table. "Ladies take a seat." She said. The girls sat down reluctantly.

"Savanna start talking before I leave." Katarina said.

"Kat, I thought we were coming a long way." Savanna said. "Anyways, I know everyone is super disappointed they don't have a meeting with Stephanie about a title match..."

"How did you send that from her email?" Jewels asked. Savanna stared at her briefly before continuing.

"However, I have an opportunity of a lifetime." She said. "We are going to create a stable." The table was quite.

"Why the hell would we do that?" Aralynn asked. "All you've ever been is a bitch to me, why would I want to team up with you?"

"Language." Savanna said. "We aren't at a Denny's. And because, how many articles online are you guys apart of?" No one answered. "And how many matches on TV have you girls actually won since the middle of last year?" Silence again. "When was the last time any of you had a title run?"

"What's your point Savanna?" Blake asked crossing her arms.

"My point is, everyone is focused on tag teams and stables right now." She said. "But think about it, they're all pretty weak. Mandy can't wrestler her way out of a paper bag, Sonya is kinda really independent, none of the girls in Riott Squad have similar personalities or wrestling styles. Then you look at all of us, we are the backbone of this division and with me in charge, we will be close to running this company."

"Okay... say we bite on this, we aren't on the same show, this would never work out." Damage said.

"That's the beauty of it." Savanna said. "We can run all of the shows. Raw, Smackdown... NXT.. 205 Live, we will be unstoppable."

"The only problem is 205 live is a male dominated show." Jewels said. "Or else this would be a great idea." Savanna grinned.

"It's 2018." Savanna said. "Women can do anything men can do. What do you girls say?"

"I'm in." Jewels said. "I need more TV time."

"Jewels is in, then so am I." Damage said. Savanna smiled and then turned her attention to the other girls.

"Come on Blake, friends stick together." Savanna said.

"Fine." Blake said. "But just remember, I will break you if you screw me over."

"Say no more." Savanna said. "Kit Kat? Just like old times? I'm ready to move past it all." Katarina stared at her. She got that feeling inside of her... the one where you know you probably shouldn't trust someone... but you've known them for so long and you miss what you had together.

"Yea.." She smiled. "Just like old times."

"Aralynn?" Savanna asked. Aralynn stared at her.

"Don't really have anything else going on." She shrugged. Savanna clapped.

"This is fantastic." Savanna said. "The only problem is... we don't have any girls down on NXT."

"I know a couple of girls who might be willing to do it." Aralynn said.

"We are going to be unstoppable." Savanna said. "Okay, now lets talk appetizers." Savanna grinned picking up the menu.
