Author's Note: Last chapter of the night! Enjoy (:


February 2010

I sat on one of the free benches in the tight WWE Clinic that was holding its annual tryouts. To say that I was nervous was a complete understatement. I could barely even function and my match was next. Ricky was sitting next to me and watching the matches very intently. He never took his eyes away from the ring and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself. If only it could be that simple for me.

My opponent was a woman by the name of Melissa, her in ring name Colbie. Ricky had introduced me to her a couple weeks ago and since then we have been preparing for this match. It didn't matter who won or who lost because in the end either Melissa or myself was getting that WWE contract. The WWE Talent Relations would be evaluating our in ring ability, our confidence, our charisma, our attitude. This very last match was the most important thing to me, and even though I was going to lose the match to Melissa I still had a chance for that contract.

Soon enough it was my turn. Ricky and I walked over to the side of the ring and he gave me a last minute pep talk. "Okay, listen to me Jordyn. You have completely dominated these past four days and I am so proud of you, so proud of you. If you don't get the contract then that's okay, there are always next tryouts and we work ten times harder. But, I don't want to think about that because I know in my heart that you'll be walking out of here with that signed contract. I have put all my faith in you. Remember, domination, determination, and devotion. You have all three."

I shook my head and smiled up at him. "I won't let you down."

"Good luck."

I slid into the ring just as Melissa did. This match was completely created by her and me. We had a ring announcer introduce us and then the bell sounded. The whole idea of these tryouts was to show who we truly were and how we would act in the WWE. It was like we were out our own taping or Raw or SmackDown. My in-ring name was Jordyn Delaney, I mean no disrespect to my surname of Taylor but Jordyn Delaney, doesn't it have a ring to it?

"Introducing first the challenger from Los Angeles California…Colbie!"

"And her opponent from Saint Louis, Missouri…Jordyn Delaney!"

Melissa walked over to the referee and asked him to keep me away from her and then she slid out of the ring and onto the floor. She stuck her tongue out of me and I rolled my eyes. Suddenly, she ran back into the ring and slapped me across the face. She ran out of the ring again, returned and smacked me once more. I was clearly pissed so I took her down and catapult Melissa. I had Melissa on the ground and I began to hit her profusely across the face as she screamed and thrashed her arms. I stood up and kicked her in the stomach and then a kick to her face. Melissa threw her hand to her face and the ref checked on her.

"My nose is broken!" Melissa cried out. Ha, exactly how we planned.

The referee held me back but of course it was a trap and Melissa kicked me in the stomach and pushed me into the corner, bashing my head on the turnbuckle. I fell to the ground and Melissa picked me up by my hair and threw me across the ring. I rolled over onto my back and saw Melissa standing before me. She pulled me up and choked me with the ropes and I heard the referee warn her.

Melissa went for a dragon sleeper with a body scissors but I got to my feet quickly and escaped what was about to happen to me. I hit a back breaker on Melissa. A clothesline and drop kick followed by a leaping head butt to Melissa and then I grabbed her by her hair and tossed her across the ring. I got a near fall after Melissa hit the mat. Melissa retreated to the corner and I went for a splash into the corner but Melissa moved. I closed my eyes just as Melissa pulled me back and threw me down onto the mat. Melissa and I went at it for a near three more minutes before she hit me with a neck breaker for the three count.

I laid in the ring, lifeless for a minute, before I rolled over on my stomach and flipped my hair back. Melissa walked over to me and put her hand out for me to grab, I reached for it happily and she helped pull me up. We hugged and then gave each other a high five.

I slid out of the ring a minute later only to be hugged again by Ricky Steamboat.

"Great job in there Jordyn, it was the best I have ever seen from you."

"Thanks so much that means a lot."

I drank some Gatorade and sat down for a little bit before Ricky walked up to me with a huge smile on his face. This must mean good news.

"I have someone I want you to meet," he said casually.

"Okay," I replied before I stood up and followed him to another room. A few men were in there and also one women and I knew her right away. Stephanie McMahon.

"Jordyn, this is John Laurinaitis, Joe Smith, David Jacobs, and Stephanie McMahon."

"Nice to meet all of you," I said and shook their hands.

Stephanie smiled brightly at me; she was the definition of a powerful and beautiful woman.

"We are glad to meet you also," John stated. "In fact we were just discussing a few things with Ricky here and we were wondering if you wouldn't mind signing a contract with the WWE."

I shouted with glee, I mean how could I not? I was holding in all my screaming for this very moment and I didn't care in the slightest bit.

"Are you serious?" I asked and looked at all their faces. They all seemed pretty serious to me.

"Completely serious," Stephanie said. "In fact we were wondering if you could take a flight out with us tomorrow afternoon and we can write up a contract for your time with the WWE."

"Tomorrow afternoon?" I asked, surprised. So not only was getting I contract with a WWE but I was leaving Tampa tomorrow…That's like in less then twelve hours.

"Yes, we have a flight set for noon. Would you be ready by then?"

I glanced over at Ricky and he nodded. "Of course, how long would I be in Stamford?"

"A few days top," she said. "We just need to have tests done, sign some waivers, and have a sit down with Creative to see where we want to take your character. All boring stuff," she said with a smile.

Boring stuff? These next few days would be ones I would never forget.

"I'm so excited, thank you so much for this opportunity," I said and shook all of their hands again and talked to Stephanie a bit.

She was very nice and informative. I had to meet them at the local airport tomorrow at eleven and then we would go from there. I'd be back in Tampa by Sunday and I didn't even know what I would be doing after that. Would I still work with FCW? Maybe head to NXT? Raw? SmackDown?

The possibilities were endless and whatever path I was about to take was something I surely would never forget.
