Lilian Garcia opened the PPV by grabbing the mic and introducing the first match to the 15,607 fans in attendance.
"This match is set for one fall, and it is for the Diva's Championship!"
The titantron lit up pink and black with spider webs flashing back and forth from grey to white. A small woman skipped down to the ring with a title belt shaped like a butterfly around her waist. Her theme song played and she skipped around the ring in her knee-high Chuck Taylor shoes, short shorts, and AJ Lee shirt which she cut up to the bottom of her bra.
Like shooting stars are burning,
Light up the sky
Let's light it up
Light it up, light it up
Light it tonight
Let's light it up
L-let the night
L-let the diamonds
As they shine in your eyes
"Introducing first, the champion, AJ Lee."
AJ sat on the middle rope with her legs crossed and her arms spread across the top rope, waiting for her opponent.
"And from Scottsdale, Arizona, Brie-"
The titantron turned to a camera backstage and the audience watched as Brie Bella was being helplessly tossed into a messy pile of boards, tools, and other electrical equipment. Aksana threw Brie around like a rag doll until she was nearly broken in half. AJ watched the screen in enjoyment and snickered at the helpless Bella Twin. She knew she would retain her title due to the fact Brie was horribly injured. She took the microphone from Lilian and laughed psychotically.
"Looks like I get to keep my championship, huh? Nobody can beat me, I told you I'm-"
I'm here to show the world
I'm here to show the world
Come on!
Do what I say
"Better watch what I do"
Better heed the warning
I'm here to give you
If you ever doubted me,
you don't have a clue
I'm here to show the world
I'm here to show the world
At that moment, Dolph Ziggler, AJ's former on and off screen boyfriend walked out in a black suit with a neon pink v-neck underneath. He laughed with the mic in his hand as he watched AJ twitch around in the ring after hearing his theme.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! AJ! You're giving yourself just a bit too much credit!" He leaned back and laughed.
AJ went berserk at the sight of her ex like she always did when he interrupted her matches or promos.
"You may think you've beaten everyone back in that locker room, but I believe you missed someone," Dolph smirked at AJ while she gave him a hateful, crazy look. "But I don't think you've met my new girlfriend. Ladies and gentlemen, Meredith Harrison!"
Meredith walked out from behind the curtain and stood proudly beside Dolph. Her hair was beautifully curled and her makeup was done up to perfection to compliment her attire.
Her boots were metallic gold and her attire was red with gold trim. The neckline was also used as straps to hold up the v-shaped belly shirt. The bottoms of her attire showed off her long, tanned legs and beautifully proportioned figure, but were long enough to cover up the scars.
Dean watched from backstage in awe as he looked at her beauty. She was no longer his, she even confirmed it. He wanted her, he wanted what was best, and he wanted her to be happy which she was until he'd lost her trust.
Watching Dolph set his hands on Meredith's bare hips sickened Dean. When Meredith walked down to the ring with Dolph, he held her hand and sat on the middle rope and waited for her to step in between them, but first, she had to do something else.
Meredith stood on the edge of the ring and seductively walked over to Dolph and wrapped her leg into his arm as he dipped her down. He supported her with his palm flattened to her lower back and deeply looked into her eyes.
"Dolph..." Meredith whispered.
"Just go with it, pretty girl." He grinned.
The kiss wasn't supposed to be this elaborate, and it sure as hell wasn't supposed to make Meredith want to kiss him.
Dolph pulled Meredith into a powerful, long kiss and didn't stop until she did. The whole crowd got a rise out of the fact that AJ was going crazy watching these two kiss, but Dean's reaction backstage was much much worse.
AJ charged at Meredith, but Meredith elbowed AJ in the mouth, causing her to fly back a few feet so Meredith could finally step into the ring.
Meredith stayed on AJ while she was down. She did multiple takedown maneuvers that Seth had shown her, and AJ was wearing out fast.
The match was going mostly in Meredith's favor until AJ reversed a move and locked her into the Black Widow which brought Meredith down to one knee, and then the other. She was fading quick, and if she didn't tap soon, she was going to pass out or AJ was going to break her arm.
Dolph saw that Meredith needed help, so he put on a distraction to make AJ release her.
"Hey! Hey AJ! AJ guess what! Aw, babe!" He jumped up and down on the outskirts and flailed his arms in the air.
The distraction worked and AJ let go of Meredith and ran towards the ropes at Dolph. This gave Meredith time to recover and roll AJ up for a pin.
"1, 2-" The ref counted, but AJ kicked out.
Both women stood up fast and Meredith's momentum was building.
Do it, Meredith. Do it. Impress Dean.
Why Dean was the only thing on Meredith's mind right now, she didn't know, but it was helping.
AJ ran and went to Shining Wizard Meredith, but she ducked and picked up AJ over her shoulder.
Do it, Meredith.
Meredith spun AJ around and drove her into the canvas. Spinning Side Slam was Dean's finisher back when he was in CZW, and Meredith knew this would get his attention, even thought she was the one who'd done the breaking up.
Meredith covered AJ slowly as she drug herself over to the smaller woman and the count started once more. This time, she didn't kick.
"1, 2, 3."
The bell dinged, and the ref announced that Meredith was now the new champion.
Meredith, you did it. I knew you could do it.
Dean watched proudly from backstage and grinned at the realization that she'd watched his old matches to use one of his moves. He knew she loved him just as much as he'd loved her. This relationship wasn't over, Dolph's career was.
"This match is set for one fall and is for the United States Championship!"

"Making his way to the ring with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, weighing in at two hundred twenty-five pounds, he is the United States Champion, Dean Ambrose."
The three men walked down through the crowd and hopped the barricade like usual and Dean slid into the ring, awaiting the man he wanted to destroy.
"And the challenger, from Hollywood, Florida, Dolph Ziggler!"
The same theme music hit as earlier when Dolph came out before the diva's match. Dolph walked down to the ring with Meredith and prepared himself for the match.
Dean hadn't planned on Meredith coming down and being in Dolph's corner. This was a great downfall for him because he was easily distracted by her. Meredith hesitantly looked over at Dean who had already glued his eyes to the newly crowned Diva's champion. His eyes locked sympathetically and loving into hers. That look made Meredith weak and he knew she loved it. Although Dean didn't know if he was trying to psych her out, or himself.
The bell dinged again, and the two men were soon locking up and spinning in circles until Dean drove Dolph's body into the corner and started wailing on him. He kicked, punched, slapped and even clawed; Dean would do anything to make Dolph hurt just as bad as he was at the moment.
The ref pulled Dean away and warned him that if he didn't lay off, he would be disqualified. This meant absolutely nothing to Dean; he would lose the match, but would retain his title. But shit, if he was going to be disqualified, he was going to use much more than just his hands,
Dolph rolled into the middle of the ring, practically unconscious, as Dean rolled out of the ring and looked underneath the apron for weapons. He chose the side that Meredith was on so he could talk to her secretly without the crowd noticing.
"I can taste you from here." He snickered.
"You're a pig." She muttered and rolled her eyes in disgust.
"Yeah, but I know you love me, baby." He whispered and puled out a steel chair from under the ring.
"I never said I didn't, Dean."
Dean got up and pulled Meredith's face in his direction. She pretended to struggle and act disgusted to the best of her ability.
"You make me so proud, you know that?"
"Go win your match, asshole." She hid her smile and watched as he walked up the steel steps back into the ring.
Dean walked into the ring and the ref tried to stop him from using the chair, but Dean didn't care. Even though it seemed as if Meredith wasn't mad at him anymore, Dolph kissed his girl. Even though it was scripted, it still stung, and Dean didn't know what was happening to himself.
Seth and Roman both got into the ring and they all started mauling Dolph. Soon, a Triple Power Bomb was in formation, and the body of Dolph crashed onto the canvas.
The bell dinged and Lilian Garcia said Dolph won by disqualification, but due to rules, the ref handed Dean his title.
"Yo, Mer!" Seth yelled to her as she was about to walk out.
"Yeah?" She held ice on her shoulder from the Black Widow from earlier.
"We're all going to a party, wanna come?" He offered.
"Will Dean be there?" She lifted her brow.
"Uh..yeah...sorry, nevermind." Seth shooed his hand.
"No," Meredith walked towards Seth, "It's fine."
"Then let's get a move on, miss champion."
So, Ireally thought this chapter was super long when I was typing it,
but then I realized that its actually pretty short compared to my previous chapters.
Don't worry, chapter 13 will be much longer. Reviews!
