Chapter 7

"So, Traci honey, tell us about this little plan you believe would interest us" D'Amore stated as Traci sat down across from him.

Traci smiled sweetly at him as she perched on the edge of the chair. She carefully crossed her tanned brown legs, ensuring the VERY short dress she was wearing crept up just a little bit further, revealing more to D'Amore's drooling eyes.

"Well, how would your boys here like to get a jump start on Generation Next before the big tag team title match in two weeks?" she purred seductively.

D'Amore's eyebrows raised slightly.

"What exactly do you have in mind, and why on earth would you give a damn about the tag team title match, or us for that fact?" he questioned, suspicious as to what she was planning. Traci was a very beautiful woman, but he knew she was as devious as they came, often sacraficing anyone she could in order to make sure her and her man got what they wanted.

"Well, you see there is a little match tonight that, well, has some big implications for my lovely title here. Now, in my best interests I am counting on Madison winning against Jackie. But to ensure that that happens right I need Generation Next out of the picture for tonight, which is where your boys come in" she replied sweetly.

D'Amore looked at her, slightly confused as to what she was talking about.

"Hang on a minute honey" he said, rubbing his chin "You want Madison to win, yet you want Generation Next out of the picture? How exactly does that work? I would think that you would want them at ringside to help her then"

Traci sighed, frustrated.

"Look, I know it seems strange but if I just let Generation Next attempt to help that stupid bimbo then there is a chance they could screw up. With my plan I can guarentee she will win, thus giving me the simplest title defense, okay" she explained.

D'Amore just stared at her, before grinning at her.

"You know what babe, you have a deal. We'll make sure Generation Next doesn't play any part in the match tonight" he drawled as he led her out of the room, making sure he got the best view of her ass on the way out.

Traci smiled at him as she walked out the door.

"Thanks sweetie" she grinned before making her way back to Matt's dressing room.

D'Amore closed the door before bursting out laughing.

"Dumb bitch" he laughed as he sat down next to a very confused looking Petey.

"What on earth was that? Why the hell are we helping a tramp like Traci?" he questioned the coach.

"Relax Petey, trust me, in no way are we helping that dumb ass, what we ARE doing is giving ourselves an advantage come Final Resolution though" he said, looking over at the tag champs.

"So how are we not helping her but helping ourselves?" Petey questioned again, more confused. D'Amore shook his head.

"You may be my prized student Petey, but you are so thick sometimes"

Petey frowned at him.

"Listen, we are going to take out Generation Next, but it's not going to help Traci - she still going to get her ass kicked. See what she doesn't know is that Madison doesn't need Generation Next or her help to win tonight, and by actually helping Madison win tonight she is in fact sealing her own fate" D'Amore replied.

"So what's the plan then?" Bobby Roode questioned with a huge grin on his face.


Austin watched Madison walk nervously around the room and frowned. Although he had told her earlier he understood why she wanted to compete tonight, he still wasn't so sure. For one he was worried about how she was going to actually wrestle with her back in such a condition, and secondly and more importantly he was extremely worried about D'Amore becoming involved in her match tonight. He looked back up in time to see her watching him intently.

"So, you got everything planned?" he questioned, avoiding her gaze.

"Yeah, I guess. Is everything okay?" Madison asked, sitting down next to him.

He gave her the most encouraging smile he could muster, not wanting her to worry.

"Absolutley Maddy. Just remember out there to focus on the match. You know that Rodrick, Alex and me will take care of anything else that should happen - alright"

Madison just nodded and smiled. She could sense that he was worried about interference from Canada or 3D - not that 3D would be in any condition to become involved after the beating they had received earlier.

"I know - you got my back, right?" she smirked playfully.

Austin gave her a serious look - he was in no mood for joking around. Although he had only known this pretty little blonde lady for maybe three weeks at the most, she already had this strange pull to her that he found hard to ignore. He knew she trusted him the most out of their group and maybe for that reason he felt the need to protect her.

However before he had a chance to say anything else the lockerroom door was kicked open. Before he could yell out to Alex and Rodrick, who were in the corner of the room playing video games he felt a rough blow to his head. He looked up to see Johnny Devine standing above him, grinning like the overgrown circus monkey he was. Austin felt sharp pains in his midsection where Devine was now laying him strong stomps.

"Just remember boys, the titles go nowhere at Final Resolution, except for around the waist of Team Canada" D'Amore announced as he grabbed Madison around the waist.

Madison struggled to get away from D'Amore, but his grip on her was tight. She watched with tears in her eyes as Devine continued his assault on Austin. She looked to the left to see both Alex and Rodrick being beaten down by Eric Young and Bobby Roode. Surprisingly to her, she did not see Petey anywhere in the room.

"Alright boys, I think these losers have had enough for now" he announced "And Maddy, sweetheart, good luck for your match tonight" he whispered in her ear before throwing her to the floor like a rag doll.

Austin watched with pain wretching through his body as D'Amore, Devine, Roode and Young left the room, laughing. Austin watched as Madison began to crawl over to him before blacking out.


"Austin...Austin" Madison yelled as she crawled over to where he was laying. She panicked when she realised he was no longer conscious.

She looked around the room to see both Rodrick and Alex moving slightly. She gently tapped Austin's face, hoping desperatley that he would respond. She looked up towards the door when a figure emerged.

"Holy shit, what the hell happened here?" AJ Styles questioned as he rushed over to where Madison was crumpled next to Austin.

"D'Amore and his bitches just came in and took everyone out" she cried, still trying to wake Austin up.

"Maddy, oh god are you okay?" Traci questioned as she rushed into the room.

Madison looked up at her and shook her head.

"I'm going to get the EMT's, hang tight honey" AJ said as he rushed out of the room.

"What happened here?" Traci asked as she looked around the room.

"Team Canada happened" Madison bluntly replied.

"Shit, you going to be okay for tonight? You wern't hurt or anything?"

"Nah, but I can't fight now" she murmured as she looked down at Austin. The EMT's came rushing into the room.

"Listen, obviously Gen Next arn't going to be much help to you now, so how about I get Matt to accompany you tonight - you know, just incase Canada come back or Raven gets involved" Traci suggested.

She looked up at Traci, as if it was some kind of joke before it clicked to her - Traci had been in on the attack. This was her big plan to make sure that Madison won tonight - to take out her teammates so that Matt could be by her side to ensure she won! She felt the rage burning inside of her, and it took everything she had left inside not to smack Traci's face off right then and there. She glared at her.

"I really don't think thats a good idea Traci, you know, conflict of interest and all" she remarked before turning her attention over to Alex and Rodrick, who were getting stitches in their head.

"It's not a conflict really Maddy, Matt would just be there to make sure no one interfered and that it was a fair match - that's all" Traci pleaded.

Madison looked at her. The brunette beauty had one of those desperate looks on her face. Madison shook her head, it was sad the level Traci had stooped to over a title belt.

"Fine, whatever. But if anyone interfers I will kick their asses" she glared.

She quickly made her way over to where Alex was sitting.

"Hey, you okay?" she questioned, examining the big cut on his forehead.

"Yeah, I'll live but Team Canada won't when I'm finished with them" he growled.

"Yeah tell me about it. Listen I have my match so I'll catch you afterwards"

"Wait a minute - no way. You are not going out there by yourself"

"I won't be - Matt Bentley is coming out with me"

Alex just looked at her.

"What? No way, why?"

"Look, long story but I know what I'm doing okay. It's all under control" she said as she made her way out the door "Make sure Austin's okay, alright"

"Madison, wait" he yelled after her but it was too late, she was already out of sight.


"Making her way out to the ring, being accompanied by Matt Bentley, from Toronto Canada, Madison Mendes"

Madison walked down to the ring to the chorus of cheers from the restless Florida crowd, who were somewhat perplexed as to why she was in the company of Bentley instead of Generation Next.
Jackie was already waiting in the ring - absent of any company from Raven whatsoever.

The two women eyed each other up from the different sides of the ring. The referee rang the bell to signal the start of the match.
