Introducing…..Madison Barbie
Chapter 2
(2300 Arena: Philadelphia, PA)
Madison reached the locker room she was directed to by the security guard. Jim Cornette had advised her to hurry and change into whatever she was going to wear for the night, because she would be sharing the locker room with Kevin and Sami once they arrived. Since they were teammates, Jim wanted them to mix and mingle before the show began. Madison however couldn't help but wonder why Jim didn't answer her question when she asked him why she couldn't just simply change in the women's locker room.
She took time to admire herself in the mirror after changing clothes. Her long brunette hair was curled at the ends with the top middle part pulled back. She wore a simple white t-shirt, that was tucked into her knee length red and white polka dot ruffle skirt, and it was anybody's guess how she could even maneuver in the glossy black 5 inch platform heels. She located a large bow that matched the color of her skirt and clipped it to the left side of her hair. After experimenting with numerous shades, she settled for the blood red glossy lip gloss.
She heard mumbling getting closer to the door so she quickly stood up and made sure she looked presentable. She thought maybe it was Jim Cornette, however when the door opened, it was two guys. One with dark brown hair and a short stubble beard. The other guy, a ginger haired man with a medium stubble beard. They both froze mid-conversation and stared her down.
"Hi…" The ginger said, breaking the silence.
"Hey, you must be Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn." Madison responded.
"Yep, that would be us." Sami answered.
Madison approached them and extended her hand which they both shook. "Well hopefully we'll have some fun together." Sami said with a hopeful smile.
Madison smiled back. "Well I'll catch you guys in a few, I gotta go meet with Jim Cornette to discuss my spot in the match tonight." The brunette beauty said.
She roamed the halls, passing by many of the other wrestlers that were scheduled to perform that night. She waved when she saw a group of women discussing a match, however the girls didn't wave back at her. She just chalked it up to them not knowing who she was.
"Aww, well don't you look great tonight." Jim Cornette complimented.
"Well thank you." Madison replied.
"How are you feeling about your first day?"
Madison sucked in a large breath through her teeth. "I'm so nervous."
Jim raised an eyebrow. "Well don't be, you'll do great tonight I'm sure."
"I'll do my best, so what am I doing tonight for my debut tonight?"
"Okay, so tonight Kevin and Sami are taking on The Young Bucks. Just stay behind the curtain the whole time and watch the match to make sure you don't miss your cue. Once Matt and Nick hit the Meltzer driver on Sami, you are to come out to the ring, get on the apron, and distract the referee. While that is going on, Kevin will sneak and attack the Bucks with a chair. Then he will Package Piledriver Nick and drag Sami to cover him for the pin. Sami will get the 1-2-3, then after the win you get in the ring and raise their hands in victory before heading backstage with them." Jim explained.
Madison shrugged. "Sounds easy enough."
"Yes it's pretty simple to execute. Just make sure you give it all you got. We are investing a lot in you young lady." Jim laughed waving his finger at her.
"You are?" Madison questioned with a laugh. "You saddled me with a manager gimmick.
Jim frowned in annoyance. "Which is all the more reason for you to go out there and prove yourself."
Madison rolled her eyes. "Noted." She responded with a sarcastic undertone.
The night went just as planned and was executed to perfection. Madison right on cue when it was her time to come out. She received a couple of whistles and cat calls from some of the men in attendance, and a majority of fans were intrigued and curious as to who she was.
"You guys looked great out there." Madison smiled once they made it backstage.
"Thank you." Kevin smiled. Sami was still too busy trying to catch his breath to respond.
"You were good too…You didn't look nervous at all out there." Sami said in between panting.
"Glad to hear that, because my biggest fear was that I'd go out there and end up looking like a deer in headlights."
"Are you umm doing something after the show?" Sami asked.
Madison stared into space as if she was thinking. "No, not really. Why?" She asked.
Sami shrugged. "Well me and Kevin were thinking about going to grab a bite. Figured you might want to come with us since you're our new partner." He smiled.
"I'd love to go. I'm hungry as hell. Haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning. Been too nervous to keep anything down."
"Good, we'll meet you in the parking lot in a few."

"Man I wish they'd serve some wine in here." Sami complained.
"Want to get drunk huh?" Madison giggled.
"Nope, I would just like a simple glass with my dinner." Sami answered before folding his arms.
"Well a Philly cheesesteak isn't necessarily a dinner darling." Madison said in a teasing tone.
"Yeah, and besides you aren't really known to know when to stop after one glass whenever you do drink. Oh and you also are terrible at holding your liquor." Kevin inserted.
Sami whipped his head towards Kevin, eyes slightly big and mouth agate. "Did you just say that I can't hold my liquor?"
Kevin made an amused face. "Come on Rami, you know you're a lightweight when it comes to drinking."
"Oh and you're so much better?"
"I don't drink." Kevin stated. "Well once in a while I do."
"Did you just call him Rami?" Madison asked with an eyebrow raised.
"That's his real name." Kevin answered.
"I really can't believe you just sat there and said that I can't hold my liquor." Sami continued.
Kevin rolled his eyes and took a sip from his water. "Let it go lightweight." He said while sporting a smirk.
"You want to have a drinking contest to see who holds their liquor better?" Sami challenged.
"Some other time." Kevin replied.
Madison watched their exchange while giggling to herself. They were like two frat boys going at it about a stupid topic.
"So what exactly is your character gonna be?" Sami asked.
It took Madison about six seconds to realize that he was talking to her. "Oh…Umm what do you mean?" She asked.
"Well are you going to play an evil heel like Kevin or an overly cocky heel like me?"
Madison found herself dumbfounded at the question. Jim didn't discuss that part with her. He had just simply told her what to do in her debut. He hadn't told her how to act or how she would eventually be acting. "You know what I don't even know the answer to that question."
"Jim didn't go over that with you?" Sami asked.
"No he didn't actually." Madison answered.
"So like Jim to forget important shit to mention." An annoyed toned Kevin said.
Madison couldn't help but feel like there was some animosity between Kevin and Jim Cornette. She first noticed it when they were leaving the arena. Jim spoke to Sami and Madison, but he barely would even look at Kevin. When they eventually did talk, Kevin spoke with extreme sarcasm and malice in his tone.
"Make sure you speak with him about that next time you see him. Wouldn't want you just being a plain manager like the others, you should stand among the others.
Madison nodded and stood up reaching in her purse. She pulled out money to pay for the meal. "Well I guess I'll see you guys later. I have to go now to make sure I catch the last metro rail back to Brooklyn."
"Sit down. I'll take you home." Kevin said.
"No it's okay I know the metro rails like second nature."
"Madison it's too late to be going to a metro rail station." Kevin replied with a stern tone.
Madison sighed. "You sure? You don't really have to take me home."
"It's no problem. Besides I have to drive in that area anyways, It's only like an hour and a half drive, might be faster because it's late at night therefore no traffic." Kevin insisted.
"Alright then if you're sure." Madison said before sitting back down.
After finishing eating, they hopped in Kevin's rental car, which was a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Sami, who had talked practically the whole time in the restaurant, was sleep soon as Kevin got on the highway. If there was one thing Madison caught on to quickly, it was that she had a lot in common with Kevin. The whole ride back to her apartment, they laughed and talked about various topics, nothing seemed to be off limits with them. Another trait they both possessed was their outspoken attitudes.
"Well I guess I'll see you next time." Kevin sighed. That was the fourth maybe fifth time he said this after parking outside of Madison's apartment. Every time one of them said the dreaded "see you later" they somehow ended up engaging in another conversation.
"Tell sleepyhead back there I said goodnight." Madison giggled. Sami was still slouched over in the backseat snoring. After grabbing her bags out of the trunk, she waved goodbye to Kevin. Kevin waved back with a smile and didn't drive away until he saw her walk into her apartment.
Madison, exhausted from the long night opted to just sleep in her bra and panties opposed to pajama pants and a t-shirt. As she drifted off to sleep, she couldn't help but wonder if being a manager to Kevin and Sami would be so bad afterall…
