Sellouts

Sometimes, you have to fight for ones that you love...

WWE Monday Night RAW

Six Days Before Extreme Rules

St. Louis, Missouri

"You see, it's all about tying your opponent; he cannot move to the ropes. The only thing that he can do is tap out. With a smaller opponent, it's much easier; however, with a bigger guy, you will find a more difficult time since he has more strength to move to the ropes." Daphne said as she demonstrated the proper way to execute the submission.

Jon continued clawing to the ropes. Finally, he found his way to the ropes as Daphne waited five seconds before releasing. She went back to her feet as she assisted Jon with her hand. Jon used her hand as leverage to get back up, "I might need a little work, but I'll be ready for Extreme Rules. How about you? You're going to get placed in a Hardcore match against Brie. Do you know if you'll win this match?"

"Stephanie is making seem that way. I'm hoping that I don't screw anything up. Paige/Tamina is an Extreme Makeover match. I feel like us Divas have a lot to prove. I've been stressed with April and the news she told me with Renée. Talking about her, Jon," Daphne sat on the apron as Jon took a seat next to her. There was no doubt that he looked concerned,"I heard that Renée has been offered a giant deal by ESPN. An offer I think she would be crazy not to take. This can make her the next Erin Andrews."

The announcement of news shocked Jon. He hadn't heard Renée talking about this. Has she been hiding this? Why would she hide this from her friends? Daphne was her best friend. Why hide this from her? Daphne must be preparing for a 'bitchsuelos' tongue lashing, "She never told me. Why didn't she tell you at least? Why did you have to learn this from April? This news does not make any sense at all. Is Renée taking the deal?" the panic exposed from his tone of voice. Jon really liked her and the thought of not seeing her everyday will drive him nuts.

"She really likes you, Jon. I think her feelings for you might make her stay. I've meant to tell you about what I got from the convo with her, but things have distracted me. Wrestlers aren't given with time to talk with one another. What I got from it is that she thinks you're attractive. However, you sometimes act like she doesn't matter." Daphne explained as Jon widened his eyes at the explanation.

"That's because I'm really focused at wrestling. I do this for a living. This has made me not the best when it comes to dating. The women I have dated have been crazy. You say she likes me?" he asked again to clarify what Daphne had told him. She nodded, "Wow! Perhaps, if I make my move now, she'd stay?"

"No clue. Renée doesn't know that I know about her ESPN deal. I'm thinking about giving her one of my lectures to set her straight." Daphne told him with a bummed out voice.

"Look," Jon spoke up, grabbing her attention, "I'll talk to her about what I had just learned. You've lost Phil and April already. I don't think you want to lose your childhood best friend. I'll see what is up and tell you about it. Besides, I have some news on Colby that you will like."

This triggered her interested. She rose up, fixing her slouchy posture, "What did Colby say about me? Is it bad?" she asked like a scared little girl. Jon laughed at her fears and concerns.

"Colby is madly in love with you. I mean, he has known you ever since you began wrestling. You grew up to be a beautiful woman in his eyes. All he does is want to kiss you. True story; I don't lie about stuff like that." Jon explained as Daphne began to blush at the thought of Colby liking her back.

This news from Jon confirmed everything that she wanted confirmed, "Before you walked into the locker room at the Smackdown taping, Colby and I almost kissed. You confirmed everything that I needed to know. I think the storyline with us is making us get closer. I'm wonder when the script will call for a kiss."

"You just started caring for Seth. It's going to take some time, but it will come. Maybe, we'll add a fourth member to The Shield." Jon joked as Daphne laughed.

"Keep dreaming, Assbrose."

Daphne Anne was backstage talking to Brie Bella about what has been happening to Brie as of late. Ever since WrestleMania, these two have been on talking terms about everything. The two had something to relate about being in the crosshairs of The Authority. The camera showed them laughing with each other.

"I really don't understand why you are not afraid of what Evolution can do to you. Being almost dragged straight to hell by Kane still scares me." Brie shivered at the thought of Kane putting his hands on her.

"They haven't hurt me. The Shield have been there to save me on time. I think I've been wrong about those guys all along. They are decent human beings when they want to. I really don't know how I can watch the match from here. It's going to be an emotional rollercoaster." Daphne explained to her.

Brie agreed, she had felt the emotional rollercoaster for the past few weeks. The emotion of watching everything horrible happening with Daniel ever since SummerSlam. Brie had witnessed everything and kept her mouth shut, knowing it can all bite her back hard in the end,"I am going to feel the same way watching Daniel. I'm hoping for the best. Kane is truly a monster, but I know never to doubt Daniel."

It felt good for Daphne that she had someone to talk to about this stuff. She felt like a loner, when it came to her struggle with The Authority. Brie can relate to her in ways that other Divas could not relate,"I'm pulling for Daniel this Sunday. Just like I am pulling for The Shield to pull off a victory over Evolution. I know I've been harsh on those guys, but my hatred for them does not compare to what I feel about Evolution."

"What do you feel about Evolution, sweetheart?"

A masculine voice interjected itself into their discussion. To Daphne, it was the last voice that she wanted to hear. No, it was no member of The Shield that was talking, but a member of Evolution. Brie and Daphne looked into the eyes of The Animal, Batista. Brie began to get defensive, getting behind Daphne as she stood in her place. Batista looked at what Daphne was wearing; the one thing that stood out was her 'Hounds of Justice' T-Shirt that she was wearing in support of The Shield. The shirt ended midway as it enhanced her chest.

"What do you want, Dave? Shouldn't you be with your buddies?" Daphne snarled at him, not wanting to have this discussion with him. Batista laughed at the delusion that is Daphne Anne. To him, this woman was gorgeous. She was nice to look at. The way that her straight jet black displaced all the way to her back was stunning. The way that she carried herself was so badass. She had the most gorgeous blue eyes that he had ever looked at.

"I just thought that I ask you something: why?" Batista began, "Why would you waste your time with The Shield when you can hangout with winners like myself, Orton and Triple H? I thought that you were someone that had good taste in men. I mean, what do you see in The Shield that you don't see with us? Most importantly, what do you see in Seth Rollins that you don't see in someone like myself?

"Before you answer that, Daphne," Seth Rollins swooped in the save the day for the Ultimate Diva, wrapping his hand around her waist, "I am kind of curious of what you see...in The Shield over Evolution. Daphne having a reputation as blunt and outspoken Diva, I think that her response will be good." Seth smirked as he, Batista and Brie looked at her, awaiting for a response.

"I'm sorry for interrupting, but I really need to talk to Brie about something," Stephanie McMahon interrupted Daphne, before she could respond. Seth sighed as he, Daphne and Batista looked at what Stephanie was going to say, "You see Brie, I don't really see you watching Daniel's match because there is going to be a chance that you won't recover from yours."

Daphne looked around confused as Brie held a glare with Stephanie, "I don't have a match at Extreme Rules. What the hell are you talking about?"

Stephanie smirked at Brie. She was such an airhead sometimes, failing to get the point, "You see Brie, you're going to be competing at Extreme Rules. Against..." Stephanie pretends to look around for Brie's opponent, before locking eyes with Daphne, "Daphne Anne! You can consider this a WrestleMania rematch." that was the last thing that Stephanie said, before walking out of the scene. Brie looked at Daphne, knowing that she is going to enter hell once again to put away that bitch again, "Oh yeah, I almost forgot," Stephanie walked in again, "Your guys' match is going to be a match we haven't had in the Divas Division for the longest time. Your guys' match is a Hardcore Match. Good luck..." Stephanie walked away as Brie and Daphne looked at each other. Batista laughed at them as Rollins assured them that it's going to be okay.

Colby Lopez was looking for Daphne backstage. He had promised Jon at WrestleMania weekend that he would ask Daphne out on a date. He didn't know how everything was going to work out for him. Colby saw the eyes that Daphne had given Dave Batista after their backstage segment. It was like she was a star struck fan that could not contain her emotions. It almost made him jealous. Batista was one of the guys that Vince McMahon liked. He was a former World Champion. He had the look that the WWE wanted in their champion. What was Colby? Just a former Tag Team Champion, one-third of the faction, The Shield. Batista was part of Evolution. One of the biggest factions in WWE history. How could he compare himself to Dave Batista?

"I honestly think that you're overreacting about Dave." Joe Anoa'i tried to make his friend calm down, when he couldn't find Daphne. Colby ran his fingers through his two-toned hair. He felt that Daphne was with Dave right now. Colby knew about Dave's reputation with the Divas backstage. He knew for a fact that Batista was always looking for a 'victim' to exploit and take advantage of. Dave knew for a fact how big of a Diva Daphne was. He knew what a confidence booster that his friend would be to The Animal.

"I know, but Dave's reputation. She's so young and I just don't want her to get hurt because of that asshole. Daphne deserves better than that guy. I feel the need to protect her from him," Colby explained to Joe and Nicole "Nikki" Garcia-Colace, who was also with them, "I need to find her because I need to ask her something really important." Colby resumed to his searching throughout the narrow hallway. The further he went through the hallway, the more darker it got.

"Holy shit, you're going to ask her to marry you," Nikki beamed as she thought that this could be the reason why Colby is anxious to find Daphne, "I've been anticipating the day, but that would make me that one friend that doesn't have a ring." she was bummed out, just thinking about having no ring.

"I have no ring, Nicole." Joe showed her his empty ring finger.

"Oh yeah, forgot about you.." Nikki retorted awkwardly.

"I'm just asking Daphne out on a date. I don't plan on considering marrying her after the first date," there was no doubt that Colby can be a hopeless romantic sometimes. Daphne was basically a childhood sweetheart to Colby. He's known her since she was seventeen years old.

"There's no way that she'd go on a date with Dave. She likes you way too much. Or that's what she tells me." Joe didn't want to get Colby's hopes up with Daphne. The last time that he talked to her, she mentioned Colby.

"I don't know, guys," Nikki began, placing her hands on her hips. Her eyes on the person that they had been looking for and with the guy that they hoped she wouldn't be with, "Daph, looks quite cozy with Dave." she concluded as she looked at Dave and Daphne talking.

Colby died a little on the inside. The happiness that she showed was what he wanted for her. For a second, he thought that something could happen with him and her. He almost kissed her. The anger infused within him as he watched Batista take Daphne by the hand and lead her to the locker room. Colby vowed that at Extreme Rules:

He was not fighting for Daphne Anne, but for Daphne Consuelos.

Awe! Colby fighting for his best friend. A little background of why Colby is so defensive when it comes to Daphne being with guys in the next chapter as well as a Jon and Renée confrontation about her ESPN offer!
