Getting to the arena, Roman went to get changed before going to find Valentina. She looked nervous and when their eyes met, he smiled. Placing his hand under her chin.
"Stop worrying so much. They've apologized and know they were in the wrong. They'll listen to what we have to say", he said.
She nodded. Taking her hand, he pulled her along with him towards Hunter and Stephanie's make shift office. He knocked and she took a deep breath. The door opened and Stephanie smiled at them before frowning.
"What's wrong?", she asked, looking between them.
"We need to talk to you and Hunter", he said.
She looked into the office before looking back at them and nodding. She opened the door wider and let them in. Hunter stood in front of his desk, hanging up the phone.
"Oh, if you're busy we can come back after the show", Valentina said.
Hunter shook his head no and walked over to shake their hands.
"I just finished. So what's going on? Roman, if this is about the manager thing, we can't change the storyline. Besides, fans love it", Hunter said.
"No, this isn't about that. I'm fine with her being my manager and she and I have actually worked a lot out. This is about Kevin Owens and Eva Marie", he said.
Hunter looked at Stephanie and she joined him, sitting on his desk.
"What's going on?", she asked worried.
"I've remembered more of what happened, quick flashes", Valentina said.
Hunter nodded.
"We know there's nothing anyone could do, seeing as it was so long ago, but all we ask is that you keep them away from me and Val. We know about the draft, is there anyway you could put them on one roster and us on another?", Roman said.
"I'll see what I can do, but my dad is the one putting the rosters together. I'll be in charge of Raw and Shane will have SmackDown.", Stephanie said.
Valentina squeezed Roman's hand.
"Don't worry, since you two are married to each other, you'll be put together.", Hunter said.
"I'll talk to my brother about convincing our dad to put Owens and Eva on the SmackDown roster. I want you two on Raw", Stephanie said.
Val and Roman smiled and nodded.
"Thanks", Val said.
They were about to walk out.
"Roman", Hunter said.
He turned to look at one of his bosses.
"Don't go looking for Owens. Walk away", Hunter said serious.
Roman nodded.
Val came back early from being on the road for a whole week. She dropped off her stuff at their apartment. Texting Dean and asking if he was with Roman. After getting confirmation, she drove down to the performance center to surprise him. She walked in and saw him by one of the rings, Roman was leaning against the ropes talking to Sasha. She touched his arm and he laughed. Val started to wonder what they were talking about. He said something and Sasha laughed, her hands on his chest. He stepped away and fixed his hair back into a bun.
"You're such a dork", she heard Sasha say as she got closer.
Val couldn't help but glare and feel jealous.
"So what do you say, help me in the ring?", Sasha asked.
"He can't, he's busy", Val finally spoke up.
Roman looked towards her and smiled even bigger.
"Sweetheart", he said, before climbing out of the ring.
Sasha gave Val a look and Val returned it. Roman hugged her and kissed her.
"Why didn't you tell me you were home?", he asked, running his fingers through his girlfriend's hair.
Val kept her eyes on the woman who thought it was ok to touch her man. Roman noticed and smirked. He kissed her neck and shoulder.
"Mind giving us some privacy", Val didn't ask.
Sasha chuckled and rolled her eyes before finding Bayley and Charlotte two rings down. Val followed her till Roman cupped her chin and forced her to face him.
"What the hell was that?", Val asked.
"I was practicing with Dean and he had to go use the restroom, she came over and just started talking to me.", he said.
"She touched you. Why didn't you tell her to stop?", she asked.
"I moved away from her babe", he said, he wasn't mad that she was jealous.
She turned in the direction of Sasha. Roman wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's waist.
"Just because I'm on the main roster now doesn't mean you're single. He's still mine and the next bitch who thinks it's ok to touch what's mine…", she didn't get to finish her threat.
Roman placed his hand over her mouth, she was saying it out loud for all the women to hear. Sasha raised a brow at them.
"Ok, calm down", he whispered in Val's ear.
Val glared at him. He removed his hand.
"I'm yours, they know it and I know it. Besides, she can't compete with you", he said, looking Val in her eyes.
Roman was dressing for his match, Val was getting her makeup done. The women's title sitting on her lap.
"You don't deserve that title and you don't deserve him", Valentina sighed.
If Val's eyes weren't closed and Leslie wasn't doing her make up, she would have rolled her eyes at Eva.
"So that's what that stench was, your disgusting excuse of a perfume.", Val said.
Leslie tried not to laughed, Val smirked.
"All done beauty", Leslie said, tapping Val's shoulder.
She opened her eyes to see Eva twirling her hair between her fingers. Val sighed.
"What do you want? Let's get this over with because it's exhausting talking to you", Val said.
Eva leaned forward.
"You think you've won, but you haven't. You brainwashed him into thinking that I had something to do with what happened with Kevin. I didn't, just because I gave you a ride to the hotel", Eva said.
Val shook her head.
"If I had the ability to brainwash him, we wouldn't have been separated for five, almost six years. I'm not the one telling him you had anything to do with it, but I'm starting to think you did", Val said, before standing.
Eva stood in front of her, stopping her. Val sighed.
"I didn't stick Kevin's dick inside you", Eva raised her voice.
The few people in the hall were staring and whispering. It wasn't like they hadn't heard the rumors.
"No, you just dropped the drug in my water and let him know when I got to the hotel, because what a coincidence that he was waiting for me when I got there.", Val yelled.
Eva slapped Val.
Val had had enough of Eva. She was tired of people thinking she was a slut and cheated on her husband. Now that she knew Eva had a hand in what happened to her, she wasn't going to take her shit. Not only did Eva touch her husband, but told her son that she was going to take Val's place. Val faced Eva, before punching her in the face. They grabbed each other by the hair and pulled. Val dragged Eva a bit before Eva scratched Val's cheek. It stung and Val let her go.
"You stupid bitch", Eva yelled.
Val could feel blood on her cheek. Eva's lip was bleeding, Hunter jumped in between them.
"Enough", he shouted.
He looked between them.
"I want you both in my office, now", he was pissed.
He looked at Joey, who was holding Eva. AJ Styles held Val back.
"Watch them", Hunter said to Joey.
He nodded and walked them to Hunter's office. He sat them in opposite places while he stood between them.
Roman had finished putting his gear on and walked out of the locker room, putting his hair into a bun. AJ ran up to him.
"Your wife just got into a fight with Eva", he said.
Dean joined the conversation.
"Awesome, did Val win?", Dean asked.
AJ chuckled.
"She got a good punch in before Hunter intervened", AJ said.
Roman quickly made his way to Hunter's office. He got there in time to hear Hunter yelling and Eva making her way out of the office, pissed. His wife followed a few seconds after.
"Tina", he called.
She looked towards him and closed the space between them. She set the women's title on a box beside them.
"What happened?", he asked, taking his wife's chin between his fingers and tilting her head to look at the bleeding scratch on her cheek.
"She wouldn't leave me alone. I was going to walk away like Hunter said, but she slapped me. I just lost it, I had enough", she said.
Roman nodded.
"Let's take you to get that cleaned up. I don't want you to catch something from her", he said.
Val chuckled and he laughed softly. She grabbed the title as they walked towards the medic.
"As for punishment, I'm losing my title", she said softly.
"What?", he asked.
She nodded.
"Eva was in the running to win the NXT women's title but he took it from her and as my punishment, he took mine.", she said.
Roman sighed.
"I'm sorry", he said.
She looked up at him.
"I can always win it back", she said smiling.
He nodded.
"You will", he said.
He leaned down and kissed her cheek. The medic cleaned Val's cheek.
"I heard about that punch. She came by here, looks like it will bruise", he said.
"Good", Val said.
Roman and the medic chuckled.
