Later on that night John Cena's music started up. He saluted the crowd and went into the ring. It was time to answer the unanswered questions and clear the air on certain things.

"The reason I'm out here is to clarify a few things," he started telling the WWE Universe, "you know I've been here in the WWE for ten years. And I gotta tell you during my time here I've had pretty rough, interesting, and challenging encounters. But in my ten years here, I have never been this involved or this interrogated more than I have in the last week or so when the world keeps asking me 'what's really going on between you and AJ?" The crowd started to make a little noise and cheer. "Now- hold on," he said putting a hand up. "Duck tailing off of that, I'm pretty sure a lot of you have seen the photos of AJ and I on New Year's. There's been a lot of talk. A lot of hate. A lot of people asking me how I could have anything to do with her after what happened at TLC. People want to know why I don't hate her. Well I'll answer you this…" John removed his cap. "One reason, is the word hate itself. If these individuals were real fans of mine that would back me through thick and thin, they'd know that this solider stands to rise above hate." John paused for a minute. "Was I upset that I didn't walk out with the Money in the Bank briefcase? Yes, I was, but I'm not gonna hold a grudge, because like I said, this year, I will become the WWE Champion. Secondly, well a lot of people have also been asking me 'are you in love with AJ Lee?'" The crowd started to applaud louder. "Well, truthfully, I'll tell you—

"Excuse me," Vickie came walking down the ramp. "Excuse me."

John rubbed his head and laughed, this was becoming like a routine for him. "Now, why didn't I see that coming?" he asked the people, shaking his head.

"You know I'm getting sick and tired of you and AJ coming out here and broadcasting this disgusting, lustful, love story every week. The WWE Universe believes in me, as the Managing Supervisor, to bring in-I said EXCUSE ME!" She yelled again through the cheering and booing crowd. "They all believe in me to bring in the truth. And exposing the truth is exactly what I have been doing very well, Mr. Cena. I mean you coming out here, confessing your undying love for AJ, this just confirms that you did have an affair." John rolled his eyes, not even bothering to interrupt. "But since this is a new year, it's put me in a giving mood, so I'll give you my warmest congratulations." Vickie started clapping. "Yes, my wishes of love for you guys so you can bask in the courting phase." She giggled, placing a hand over her heart. "So sweet, tears." Her face turned sour again, she rolled her eyes. "While it lasts. Because the one thing that I will enjoy more than watching you two squirm week after week, is watching both of you implode, when your whole world comes crashing down on both of you."

"What?" John mouthed with a look of disgust.

"It will, John, and I hate to say-…no, who am I kidding?" she laughed. "I love to say I told you so, because it's already started, after she pushed you off that ladder, costing you your match with Dolph Ziggler. And yet despite of what happened, you continue to be her knight and shining armour, kissing her in the ring, whisking her off to an enchanted castle for a romantic rendezvous. I don't know if any of the millions of fans you have has asked you this particular question, so allow me to do so myself, John…are you insane? Because may I remind you who we're talking about? Who you're dealing with? This is psychotic AJ Lee. Let's review her timeline for a moment, shall we? AJ Lee cost Daniel Bryan the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania." John went to say something, but Vickie held her finger up. "And, AJ proposes to CM Punk without ever going on a date with him, only after sending a few texts…I mean, who does that? And then-…I'm not done yet." John was again cut off. He knew what Vickie was doing. Now that she had no more to stake on the scandal, she was just trying to convince him that AJ was flat out crazy. "And Kane even confirmed that AJ is unstable."

"Vickie, what is your—

The discussion was interrupted by the Light It Up theme song. The people stood on their feet giving AJ a welcome ovation. She didn't come out skipping, however she walked down the ramp looking very calm.

John shot a cold glance at Vickie before approaching AJ when she entered the ring. AJ placed her hand on his chest, telling him she was ok and that she was not going to go after Vickie.

"Let me guess, AJ, you're gonna start denying everything I've said," Vickie said smirking, "that you haven't acted like a love-sick puppy every time a guy backstage would say hi to you?"

John shook his head at AJ telling her not to take any notice.

"It's ok," she mouthed to him. "No, I'm not going to deny it, Vickie. It's true. I've made a lot of mistakes in the past, especially when it comes to men. But I'm trying to learn from my mistakes and I want to become a better person." AJ was still calm. She felt she could go up against anyone that night without losing it. "And thanks to you, I'm not GM anymore. And now that I'm not GM, I can date whoever I want." She playfully grinned as she said this. She looked at John who knowingly smiled at her.

John stepped forward between the two women. He started to speak again, "and in saying that." He removed his cap again. "Before I was interrupted, I mentioned that a lot of people have been asking me If I'm in love with AJ."

The people started cheering, the cheering moved gradually across the arena. Eventually they stared clapping and chanting: John loves AJ…John loves AJ. AJ blushed and smiled, rubbing her arm nervously. She looked up at him with a clout of hope in her eyes.

John stepped closer and took her small hand in his. "Yes, AJ…I'm in love with you." He dropped his mic and held his arms out to the side as he finally said what he's been wanting to say. The crowd cheered. AJ covered her mouth with her hand as John's words repeated over and over again in her head. It was as if one of the deepest desires of her heart had come true. She grinned bigger than she had ever grinned. Without any hesitation she ran and threw her arms around The Champ, John Cena, who lifted her in his arms. The two started to lip lock, with enthusiasm and passion. Vickie stood at the side with her arms folded, she was at a loss of words.

As the two broke the kiss, their foreheads rested on each other's. AJ let out a laugh of happiness and John thought he saw her eyes getting cloudy. She couldn't believe it. Her heart filled with content. Despite everything that Vickie had ever said about her, or everything she had done in the past, John looked right past it all and didn't judge her.

"I love you too, John," she said to him, making him really smile for the first time that night.

John's music started up again. It was as if the two forgot that Vickie was in the ring. John exited the ring first. He held out his hand for AJ to help her down. She grabbed his hand. He pulled her close and wrapped his arm around her giving her a kiss on the forehead. AJ sighed happily against him, biting her finger as she felt giddy. Before going backstage John saluted the crowd once more and then saluted Vickie who was still in the ring.

Meanwhile backstage, Nikki and Brie Bella finished watching that entire scene on one of the screens.

"Unfreaking believable," Nikki said turning away from the screen. "Can you believe that?"

"That is sickening," Brie said.

"That little she-devil thinks she can sink her claws into any man."

"Well John obviously loves her—

"No, hey!" Nikki said, "He thinks he's in love. But he's not. Like Vickie said he's not in love he's in lust. And that'll wear off sooner than you think."

"You're jealous that John's with AJ." Nikki scoffed and shook her head, her hands going on her hips. "Look, Nikki, AJ hasn't got anything on us."

"I'm going to end her," Nikki said, "I'm going to be the one to walk out with the Diva's title…and with John."
