Welcome back for chapter four. I could get a lot of heat for this but I'm jumping to 2010, the first episode of season two of NXT. I hope that isn't too fast and I hope you all enjoy.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OC and idea. All others mentioned belong to their rightful owners and the WWE.
Side Note: This chapter is set in 2010. I hope that isn't too confusing or too fast. Oh, and Miz calls Selene by her middle name which is Alex. Carry on.
Warning: This will contain spoilers for the June 8, 2010 episode of NXT. You have been warned.
Recap: Selene went with Mike and John Morrison to their ECW show, where she would have her first match in the WWE. On the way back from changing, she ran into Kevin who was someone she just couldn't get off her mind. At one point in her match, Selene found herself on the outside of the ring by the first row of seating. As Katie Lea was goading the fans into booing her, Selene noticed Kevin sitting in the front row and telling her to go get Katie. With those words in mind, Selene let Katie Lea have it and ultimately defeated her in her debut match.
Say It To My Face
I honestly have no idea why Mike wanted to invite me to this show called NXT, basically a male Diva Search if you ask me, and why he would even want me to help him be his co-pro to this rookie Alex Riley. I arrived at the arena and besides being annoyed that I was even here, I was lost. I found a stagehand and asked him politely for directions to Mike's locker room. After he gave me directions, and I thanked him, I headed to Mike's locker room. I knocked when I got to the door and after hearing Mike's conversation end, I walked into the room. I looked up from my phone and my jaw hit the floor when I saw Mike's rookie. It was that guy Kevin who I bumped into on my first day in ECW. "Kevin?"
"Selene. I didn't think I'd be seeing you here tonight." Mike did a double take and tried to figure things out, which resulted in a confused look on his face which I have come to call his brain fart face.
"Wait, you two know each other?"
"I don't know about 'knowing' each other but I've run into him before. He was that guy I told you about that I ran into before my first match." Mike stepped back from Kevin and gave him his snobby look.
"Oh, so that was you who distracted her that night?" Kevin threw his hands up, trying not to start something.
"Whoa, wait a minute. She wasn't distracted that night. She looked great in the ring and when she was thrown outside of the right, I even told her to go get Katie. After I said that, she owned Katie and won her match." Kevin stepped towards Mike and I almost laughed at how he was trying to intimidate Mike. Mike started to laugh and clapped a hand on Kevin's back.
"Don't worry, Kevin. I'm just messing with you. So, Lex, this is the guy you were fawning over after your match?" I gasped and slapped Mike with my purse.
"Shut up! I wasn't fawning over him. I just...kept talking about him." Kevin smiled and I honestly felt my knees get weak.
"You were talking about me?"
"Mmhmm. Mike, where is your rookie?"
"It's Kevin, apparently. His ring name is Alex Riley and he's my rookie this season."
"Really? So you want me to 'co-pro' with you for Kevin? I mean, Alex?" Mike nodded and I just glanced over at Kevin who still had that smile on his face. "Yeah, sure, why not."
"Awesome. Go give her a hug, big guy."
"Who, me?" I looked at Kevin and Mike was just laughing at him.
"Yeah, you. Go on." Mike shoved Kevin towards me and after a few seconds of hesitating, Kevin gave me a warm hug. "Alright, alright. Enough. We gotta get ready." I pulled away from Kevin and looked past him to send a look Mike's way.
"We? Mike, I was ready when I pulled up tonight. You are the one that has to get fresh for the audience." Kevin laughed and Mike shoved him.
"Fine. Just out, you two." Mike shoved me and Kevin out of his locker room and shut the door behind us.
"Someone didn't get his beauty nap tonight." Kevin laughed and I motioned for him to follow me.
"Selene?"
"Yeah?"
"I have a question for you, if you don't mind."
"Not at all. What's up?"
"Are you and Mike..." I stopped, turned around to look at Kevin and starting laughing.
"No. He's my best friend and I'd feel weird dating him." I heard what sounded like a sigh of relief come from Kevin and I started to laugh. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh, I was just wondering."
"Right."
"Okay. You got me. I was asking because I didn't want to seem as if I was trying to steal you away by asking you if you wanted to go out for a drink with me after the show tonight."
"Oh. Yeah, sounds like fun." Kevin was about to say something when LayCool walked by, laughing about something.
"Oh look, Layla, it's the rookie who won't be winning this season of NXT and his wannabe pro." I rolled at my eyes; I really hated LayCool, on and off screen.
"Hey look, Alex, it's two hoes and their short bald pimp." LayCool and their rookie while Kevin laughed. "We better leave. We might catch something just standing next to them." I looped my arm in Kevin's and we headed back to Mike's locker room, leaving the three of them stunned on the spot. I knocked on Mike's door and led Kevin back into the room after hearing Mike say we could come in.
"Well aren't you two chummy already."
"We just ran into LayCool and Selene straight up served them. It was hilarious. Does anyone know who that Kaval guy is?"
"I do." Mike and Kevin looked at me and I just gave them a look over my compact mirror. "What? I do my research. The guy is pretty seasoned in the independent circuit. He's not someone to be taken lightly, for sure."
"You think he's going to win, Alex?"
"Why are you asking me, Mike?" Mike and I started to laugh when Kevin answered him. "What?"
"Alex is my nickname for Selene, Kevin. Chances are, I'll be calling you Kevin more than I'll be calling you Alex."
"Or you could just call him Riley, Mike." Mike nodded but Kevin still looked confused. "Don't worry, Kevin, when I'm talking to you I will make sure that you know it." Kevin nodded and smiled. "Alright, let's go you two. Lex, try not to hang on him too much."
"I'll try, Mike." I rolled my eyes and followed the two guys out of Mike's locker room and to the curtain.
NXT Show
"Are you sure you want me to 'co-pro' with you, Mike? What if I'm not cut out for it?"
"You'll do fine. Kev is already fond of you and you are so technical in the ring, it puts the rest of these Divas to shame. Please? If not for me," Mike pulled Kevin in front of him and they both gave me the puppy dog eyes. "Do it for Kevin. Please."
"Alright, I'll do it. Just turn off the puppy dog eyes." Mike and Kevin high-fived and hugged me at the same time. "I got it, guys. Let go. Matt is about to start the introductions." Mike let go and Kevin smiled at me. Mike's music hit and he stepped out from behind the curtain, ready to introduce his brand new rookie.
"Allow me to introduce to you the WWE's next breakout star, my rookie, Alex Riley!" Kevin winked at me before joining Mike out on the ramp. "Now, my last rookie didn't go so well, so I'm enlisting some help this time. Please welcome, my co-pro, Noelle Alexa!" I stepped out from behind the curtain and waved at the audience, looping my arms with Kevin and Mike before we headed down to the ring. Matt introduced John Morrison next, who in turn introduced his rookie Eli Cottonwood. Eli was intimidating but he was kind off strange. After John Morrison, was Cody Rhodes who introduced his rookie Husky Harris. Husky definitely lived up to his name and to be honest, I thought he was creepy too. Following Cody was LayCool and I rolled my eyes as they introduced their rookie Kaval. As they made their way down the ramp, they made Kaval carry their championships which just undermined the poor guy to an unbelievable extent. Mark Henry was after LayCool and he introduced his rookie Lucky Cannon. I didn't know what to make of Lucky but I wasn't going to judge him without seeing what he's capable of. Kofi Kingston was next to introduce his rookie Michael McGuillicutty, who I will admit was kind of cute. McGuillicutty is the son of Mr. Perfect so he definitely had some big shoes to fill and I'd bet money on him having some serious talent. MVP came out next to introduce his rookie 'Showtime' Percy Watson, who had some serious personality and was very entertaining. Zack Ryder was last to introduce his rookie, Titus O'Neil. I heard that Titus used to play professional football, which was pretty cool. I looked around the ring and I had to admit, this season of NXT was going to blow the last season out of the water.
-FIN-
Phew! That was a long one. I hope you all enjoyed it. Next one will be out soon.
