Taylin had made her way into the arena, she was standing with the media crew, watching. AJ was out with Ziggler right now, and even though Taylin wasn't happy with the storyline that brought AJ together with Dolph, she liked the two together. They were very good with each other. That was the bright part of her day. The next match was Kaitlyn and Alicia. Taylin found herself grimacing as the match went on. The crowd was a big part of wrestling, and they were barely aware that there was even a match going on. When the diva's were out, that's when most people went to the bathroom, or concession stand. That was the main thing Taylin wanted to change. Before the match was over, Taylin went backstage before she acted on her gut feeling that was telling her to go drag them both out of the ring.
Her eyes searched the crowded hall, finally finding who she was looking for.
"AJ, you ready for our meeting?"
"Can I get cleaned up?" AJ asked.
"Of course. Is 30 minutes good?" Taylin asked.
AJ nodded and headed towards the locker room. She started towards her office when she heard a familiar voice call her name.
"Taylin Williams?"
"Hey Jericho." She smiled, as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Where's your old man?"
"Dad's at home." She said.
"He let you out alone? Here?" Jericho laughed.
"I'm working here now." Taylin smiled.
"No shit?"
"And, if you don't mind, let's just keep Dad's name quiet."
"Ah, sure I get it. So what's your job here? You wrestling?" He asked.
"No." Taylin laughed. "I'm President of Diva's. Trying to build up the division."
"But you're not wrestling?" Taylin shook her head. "I've seen you in the ring before, you could kill them all." He smiled.
"I gotta go, it's about time for me to head out. It was good seeing you again. Tell your dad I said hi."
"Sure will. Later Jericho." She said, walking towards her office, not noticing the eyes that were following her. She stopped and found something to eat before heading to her office. When she got there, AJ was standing outside the door.
"Sorry, I got hungry." Taylin smiled.
Once they got inside Taylin asked AJ to have a seat, while she looked over her files.
"Listen, Ms. Williams, I know that you don't like me too much. I just want you to know how much I love this business, and I will do whatever I have to so that I can improve my ring skills, and whatever else I need to improve." AJ said.
Taylin was kind of taken back by her.
"First things first, my name is Taylin, please call me by it. Second, I don't know where you got that I don't like you. I went out and watched you with Ziggler, and can't think of one time that I didn't have a smile on my face. You have so much spunk, and so much potential."
"Really?" AJ asked.
"AJ, I'll be the first to tell you, I hate how you got to where you are, the storyline you were given was absolutely awful, jumping from man to man."
"Tell me about it."
"But, you and Ziggler are really able to pull things out of the other that wouldn't be seen if you two weren't paired together. I like where you are. I don't want to change where you are. I love your back story of where you came from, and how you got here." Taylin said.
"Thank you." AJ said softly.
"That being said, I would also like to get you back in the ring with the diva's." AJ rolled her eyes.
"What?"
"I hate having to hold them up all the time." AJ said.
"I know, but AJ, you're one of my strongest diva's. You have great technique in the ring. You know who you are. Your character is amazing. When you're in the ring, I can't take my eyes off you. Our division needs that. We need the draw of the match again. You can help me bring that back to the Diva's." AJ smiled at her.
"My meetings tonight haven't gone well at all, and I guess I need your help. I need an ally."
"What do you need me to do?" AJ asked, smiling.
"Talk to the girls, please. Try to make them understand that I'm just here to make things better." Taylin said. "Let me know what's going on with them." AJ agreed. Taylin spent the rest of the show and hours afterword going thru the script for the next week. She made numerous changes, before looking at her watch and realizing that it was 2am. She should have been on the road 3 hours ago, and she still had to go back to her hotel room and get packed up.
An hour later she finally found herself on the road, heading towards the next city. Her phone vibrating against the dash caused her to jump. She grabbed it and smiled at the number.
"Can't sleep Dad?" She asked.
"You know me too well, Tay." His gruff voice comforted her.
"I figured you could use some company on the road. How was your day?"
"Honestly, pretty shitty."
"What happened?" He asked.
"I wasn't exactly welcomed with open arms. People don't like change."
"Taylin, don't you dare let them make you doubt yourself. You have amazing ideas. I believe in you."
"Thanks Dad." She smiled, he always knew how to bring her spirits up.
