Chapter 3: Debut Night
Batista walked away from Angel's–Elena's door with a smile on his face, leaving him to think about when she first arrived in the WWE. The diva known as Angel had been working in the WWE for the last two and a half months. He remembered the debut videos for her a few weeks before she actually appeared.
First a black screen, and then a silver butterfly would appear, a halo lighting a top of it. Suddenly, a young woman appeared with the same butterfly on her black tank top, wearing jeans and combat boots. She only said one line, one that grabbed Batista's attention as soon as she said it. "Look out boys. Angel's here to bring Hell to the WWE." With a final wink the screen goes to a clip saying "Debuts in–" however many weeks.
Batista even remembered the first time he saw her in person. He was getting ready for his match when he had to talk to Teddy Long about something. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw her. Her wavy light brown hair with highlights, just going past the shoulder blades. She was wearing the outfit and shoes from her debut videos. He could see her talking with Teddy Long about what was to happen that night. Batista didn't realize he was walking closer to them both. Pretty soon Teddy Long had stopped in the middle of his conversation with the new diva and greeted the champ. "Hey there Batista. I want you to meet, Elena Kovac, also known as Angel. She's the new diva debuting tonight," Long stated.
"It's an honor to meet you," Angel said shyly holding her hand out to shake his.
"It's my pleasure," Batista replied and shook it gently.
"Well I better get going. It was nice meeting you," Angel stated and walked off to get ready for her debut. Batista couldn't help but watch her as she left.
"So what can I do for you, playa?" Long asked. Batista came back to reality and discussed his match with JBL for his title.
Batista was in his locker room pulling on his arm pads when the announcer called out the diva match about to start. His attention was drawn to the monitor to see Torrie Wilson strutting down to the ring. After doing a few poses, she waited confidently for her opponent to appear. For the first time ever, 'Wings of a Butterfly' by H.I.M. boomed from the speakers, making the audience wait in wonder for the new diva, Angel. There, at the top of the ramp, Angel stood with her hands on her hips. She looked all around the arena at the audience, already cheering for her. Even before she stepped into the ring with Torrie, Batista could already tell she held potential. She slowly made her way to the ring and stood there in front of Torrie.
"Oh come on!" Torrie laughed into a microphone. Angel simply stood there unaffected and left her hands on her hips. "This is supposed to be your debut night! I mean, I'm supposed to fight you? Tell you what hun, we'll make tonight easy on you and you can just wrestle someone like...Michael Cole?" she laughed.
Angel simply took the mic out of Torrie's hands and brought it to her lips. "Listen Torrie, all I was told was that you were my opponent tonight. And I plan on fighting you, unless you want to back out. So I'll leave it up to you," she said and gave the mic back to her. Torrie looked like she was thinking about it, when she slapped Angel across the face. Torrie went on the attack and started slapping Angel all over the place.
Batista couldn't help but say "Come on, get up!" towards the monitor. Angel finally blocked the slaps from Torrie, and flipped her over her. Angel jumped to her feet and clotheslined Torrie to the mat as soon as she tried to get up. Torrie laid on the mat, coughing as Angel waited for her to get up. Angel gave her a quick knee to the stomach, and suplexed her. Once Torrie was on the mat, Angel started climbing to the top turnbuckle, about to perform one of her three best moves. This was to be known from this night forth, the Flying Angel, which was a moonsault off the top turnbuckle. She pinned Torrie for the 1...2...3! Angel had won her debut match, and the audience knew they could expect great things from her.
Batista had caught himself cheering "Yes!" when the referee declared Angel the winner. He watched as the audience cheered and the referee held her wrist in the air. The smile on her face was priceless, making Batista smile as well. A stagehand told him his match with JBL was next, as he made his way to the curtain to the show the Wrestling God what being World Heavyweight Champion was all about. While walking down the hallway, he saw Christy Hemme and Stacy Kiebler greeting her and congratulating her on her first match. He wanted so badly to stop and do the same, but his match was any moment. Though he saw her look over at him, as he winked in her direction, continuing to make his way to the curtain. Batista didn't see Angel blushing crazily as he walked away.
Angel quickly said goodbye to Christy and Stacy and made her way to her locker room. She jumped up and down, cheering for herself. "Yes! Yes! Yes! I did it! I won my first match ever in the WWE! I hope the family was watching! I should call them after–" her rambling was interrupted by the announcement of the championship match about to start. Angel sat down on the bench and watched Batista come out of the curtain. He was so tall, and muscular, and...big. Angel blushed furiously as she saw him walking down the ramp with such confidence, and the fact that he had smiled and even winked at her. Once the match was over, Angel packed her things and started heading towards the garage to drive back to the hotel. However, before she got there, she ran into the current tag team champions, MNM. She didn't like them from what she saw on tv, but she figured she shouldn't judge them so quickly. Though they were pretty much blocking her way to the garage. "Excuse me," she said politely trying to make her way past them.
Melina was the first to even acknowledge her, "Oh look guys, it's 'Angie'," she chuckled.
"Angel," she corrected. "But my real name's Elena Kovac. I know you guys, Melina, Nitro and Mercury," Angel stated trying to be nice.
"Well of course you would, we're MNM," Melina scoffed as Mercury and Nitro snickered behind her. Angel had to do all she could not to roll her eyes. "We did find time in our busy schedule to watch your match. You did pretty good for an amateur," she smiled.
Angel mentally clenched her fists, "Thanks."
"What was that move called again? The 'Flaking' Angel?" Melina asked with a sweet voice, covering the malicious intentions.
"The Flying Angel, actually. Maybe I'll show it to you sometime," Angel replied just as sweetly. Or maybe I'll just do it to you, she thought to herself. "Excuse me, but I need to get to my car. It was nice meeting you." Angel started trying to make her way past them, when they completely blocked her way.
"What exactly was that supposed to mean? 'I'll show it to you'? Was that a threat? Let me tell you something sweetheart, I'm the most dominant diva in this business. You do not wanna mess with me," Melina snarled.
"Is there a problem here?" a new voice intervened. Angel felt someone standing behind her, and this someone was pretty big. She noticed the nervous looks on MNM's faces, and got the courage to finally look behind her. The World Heavyweight Champion was standing behind her, with a slight glare towards MNM. Melina signaled them to take their leave, glaring at Batista as they left. After making sure they had left completely, Batista looked back to see that Angel had vanished. He looked all around and started heading to the garage, wanting to speak with her. Once he walked through the door, he saw her jumping into her car, and driving out of the garage quickly. Batista stood there for a few moments, staring at where she had been a moment ago. He shook his head with a smile on his face as he walked back inside. From that moment on, Batista had been watching the shy diva from a distance, always a smile on his face.
Angel was in her car driving to the hotel, a blush invading her cheeks the entire time. Though a smile couldn't help but creep onto her lips as well at the thought of the Animal coming to her rescue. Not bad for a first night, she thought to herself.
