Lola was, oddly enough, considering what was going on over at Impact Wrestling. The whole Claire Lynch and AJ thing was bizarre. She had a sinking feeling about it, but she couldn't put her finger on why. It just didn't sit well with her, even though it didn't involve her or WWE.

She tried to shrug it off, but it remained a niggling distraction at the back of her head.

'I hope Jericho has fun with The Highlight Reel tonight. There's no telling what Ziggler might do. But it should be interesting to watch, no matter what happens.' Lola had to admit that she was anxious for the night's events, especially with Wade Barrett so close to returning.

Her thoughts shifted suddenly to Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio's feud. Theft wasn't exactly something that should be tolerated, but how best to handle it? She was sure Booker would have an idea for how reparations should be made, so she sent him an email regarding handling it quickly and expediently.

Satisfied with that suggestion, she considered Ryback's current path of destruction and chuckled. He wanted more opponents in "handicap" matches, so soon, very soon, he would get what he wanted and face four opponents at once. Yes, she would see that they would feed him four.

And as for Lesnar's match against Hunter? Oh, there would be some interference there, even if it was made into a steel cage match.

After all, she had to maintain control over her puppets, even the ones that didn't realise she was pulling their strings.

Another thought struck her, and she decided to take a little stroll to clear her mind.

She bumped into Alberto as soon as she reached the side-walk.

"Buenos días, Lola. Como estas?" he asked with a glint in his eye.

"Estoy bien, gracias. Y tu?" She had too many words coursing through her mind to pay him her full attention.

"Muy a gusto para verte. I am very happy . . . now that I am looking at you," he remarked as he reached for her hand and planted a soft kiss on the back of it.

Lola was caught off guard. She cleared her throat uneasily. "That was, uh, quite some work Sheamus did to your car last week, huh?"

He groaned. "Yes, and he will pay for it, one way or another."

Lola merely nodded. "Stealing isn't really becoming of a champion, is it?"

"Not unless he is the Rated R Superstar, of course," Alberto ceded.

Now she smiled. Even after what had happened between them so many months ago, he could still make her smile.

"I, um, should get going, Alberto. I have . . . an appointment to keep," she exaggerated. She determined that she should keep her distance from the Mexican Aristocrat for a while.


In a dark café, Lola sat, unnoticed in a corner booth, typing her thoughts out on a small laptop computer:

Sin Cara versus Cody Rhodes? Rhodes seems to enjoy feuding with masked opponents, and Sin Cara's very popular in Mexico. Could be good.

Ryback to chase Jinder Mahal? Mahal runs from Ryback, despite Mahal's arrogance. Potential stalker sort of thing. Ryback should get as many opponents as he wants, if he can handle them.

Kane and Daniel Bryan needs resolution. DB is doing very well playing the unhinged jilted fiancé. He's right, though, that he should get a title shot soon. Buildup to a match at SummerSlam? Night of Champions?

AJ needs to be put in her place soon, by someone with experience. Stephanie? Me?

Punk. Suggest Miz, Drew McIntyre, or Mason Ryan (feud or team up with). After Triple Threat match at SummerSlam for title, if he loses, prep for move back to SmackDown temporarily. A month or so. If he retains,

Tag team division needs some work. More proper teams, not just whoever wants to team up for one or two matches.

Lesnar versus HHH. Have someone underneath ring? If steel cage, otherwise, someone should run out to distract. Nash? Ryback? Big Show? Cena? Bring up someone from NXT? Or perhaps Reks and Hawkins? They must be frustrated with not getting enough time in the ring, and they are good when allowed to have a match.

Yoshi Tatsu needs more airtime. Damien Sandow versus Yoshi has gone well, but needs some more fuel to it. Or Sandow versus Zack Ryder. Yoshi and Zack tag team?

Wade Barrett. His return is imminent. Needs a decent feud for his return.

With her musings sorted and her wishes sent to the Board of Directors, she shut down her computer and sat back to enjoy her hazelnut latte.
