Addie had a mall day with the divas and Seth before Raw. She was in good spirits because she had been cleared to compete. She was so ready to wrestle when she could. However the company was focusing on other wrestlers now. So she didn't know when they would let her compete. But it was nice that they knew she was available when and if they needed her.
Addie relaxed herself in a chair while she talked with Paige and Summer Rae. Roman was talking on the phone with his daughter nearby. It was then that Seth came up to her with news Vince needed them. It was confusing but none the less they headed to his office. They were surprised to see Hunter and Stephanie there as well. They didn't look to happy and Addie felt nervous. "Seth good to see you! Vince said.
He shook Seth's hand and gave him a pat on the back and asked how he was. "Fine Seth said nodding. "And how are you Miss Addie? He said shaking her hand. She felt nervous shaking the boss's hand. She said she was fine as well. "I got the news you were cleared to compete today. "Yes Sir Addie said smiling. "That's great to here. And good timing too. My son in-law and daughter here were discussing ways to make women wrestling important again.
I would say were doing a pretty good job of it. But you have been injured and haven't been able too much in your career at all so far. Addie nodded not really understanding where this was going. Whatever he had to tell her why did it involve Seth? "Well with you in action now I think it's time to reintroduce you to the WWE universe. Don't you think so? "Yes sir that sounds great. "I had a feeling you would say that.
Hunter tells me you were skilled on the indie scene. And as you know he agreed to your signing. I think you're beautiful and talented too. I think you would be a force to be reckoned with in this divas division. I would like a face for the divas division. I see a lot of potential in you. I'm thinking matches with the likes of Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks. Maybe a rivalry with Paige or the Bellas.
So many opponents for you face. Maybe you can challenge for the divas championship. "That would be an amazing opportunity sir. Thank you for believing in me. She was smiling and Seth was grinning at her. "You're welcome so I was thinking about a good way to reintroduce you tonight in an exciting way. We already have some good divas matches for tonight I didn't want to change. So I had a better more exciting idea.
Tonight you're going to be in a match not seen in the WWE before. A tag team match. You and Seth will be teaming up together. She and Seth smiled at each other. Against Matt and Kane. Addie's heart dropped. "What? Seth said loudly. She is a diva. That is her ex-boyfriend and a monster who's stalking her. How is putting her in a match with them a good idea? "It makes for interesting television Vince shrugged. And are you suddenly thinking the divas aren't important? Seth bit back a retort on all Vince had done with the divas division.
"No not if it's an actual wrestling match done with just wrestling. Kane is not going to do just that. He's unpredictable. Matt abused her in real life. How is that a good idea? He did it outside the ring you know he will inside the ring. "Makes it interesting doesn't it Vince smirked. I'm always hearing about how I'm not in touch with my company. But I can still make compelling television matches. This is a good story to get the audience invested.
I'm always hearing Vince doesn't care about women's wrestling. But here I am giving a diva an opportunity. He turned to Addie "I'm putting extreme faith in you tonight. Allowing you to work with the guys. Show the world what a good diva you are. Hell I'm not even looking at you as a diva tonight. I'm looking at you as a superstar and future champion. The crows will get behind you as you face this obstacle.
Facing your ex-boyfriend and stalker as you say. It's perfect! And Seth it will help the crowd to get behind you too. You must face adversity to keep this lovely young woman safe. Good luck tonight to both of you. And by the way the match is no outside interference. Now you two are dismissed. Hunter and Stephanie hadn't said a word. Which meant Vince made up his mind. And there would be consequences if they refused. They met up with the guys and told them what happened. "What the hell why would he do that Jay said deadpanning. "I don't think Vince even knows why Roman said shaking his head. "And we can't even interfere Jimmy said. " Well no offense to Addie but she isn't gonna be able to compete with them.
If it was just normal wrestling it might be different. But WWE wrestling is a lot different. Some women wrestle men on the independent scene or other promotions. But Addie told me one time she never did. They looked to where Addie had joined Naomi and Natalya in a conversation. Seth sighed "this is completely unfair and a mismatch. I know what I need to do out there. But it's the worry of what might happen anyway. I'm not used to having to worry about someone else during my matches.
Kane had went to find Matt after speaking with Vince. "A tag team match? Kane I thought no one was supposed to know we were partners? Though I guess they will just see it as random. "Yeah even though it's not. "What do you mean? "I went and asked Vince for this match. "Wait you asked Vince? Why would you do that? Now everyone will know. And come to think of it you asked Vince? I didn't know we were normally allowed to do that. "Were not but I have been around for so long he doesn't mind as much.
Not to mention he and I have a love hate relationship. You know with me attacking him and his son, choke slamming his wife, and kidnapping his daughter once. "Yeah I could see why he might get upset about that. "But anyway so he sometimes gets a little intimidated and agrees to my ideas. But I think he actually really liked this one. It's a match the crowds haven't seen before. And he wants to change it up. "Well that's great and all but who said I even wanted to wrestle tonight? And sounds like I need to chat with Vince.
He told me I had a shot for the intercontinental championship and it hasn't happened yet. "Oh trust me I think I can get him to agree to that. But back to the match tonight I think you will enjoy it. 'Okay who are our opponents? "Seth Rollins and Addie. "What no way Matt said surprised. "You got Vince to agree to a match like that? "He thought it would spice up the broadcast a little bit. And the story would be something that people would care about. "Well I'm not complaining about that this is great.
But are we even allowed to do anything to her? "Vince himself told me he wasn't looking at her as a diva tonight. But that he was looking at her as a competitor. So as our opponent it is allowed. That being said I doubt she will even be in the ring. She will just stay on the apron and look pretty. Seth want tag her in of his own accord at least. "How do we know it want be us against all those guys she whores around with?
"I don't think she actually does that with all of them. Never the less it's a no outside interference match. They try to come out Seth and Addie will lose the match and they will be fired on the spot per Vince's orders. So basically we can just use this time to beat up on Seth. And intimidate Addie as well. We don't have to put hands on her to be terrifying. "Yeah I guess our right Matt said.
Addie put on her ring gear unenthusiastically. She had wanted to wrestle. But she hadn't wanted her first match to be this. She didn't want to be anywhere near matt or Kane. Which begs the question why were they tag teaming. Just the other day eh was protecting her. Now he was on his side? Was he actually wanting to cause her harm? Well he had done it before so eh was to say he wouldn't again.
Why was she even wearing ring gear? She had no chance in this match or to help. Seth would be all alone and she had to watch. And it was because of her. Who knew what Kane could do? But she had to know from Matt. She went out of the locker room quickly. "Hey where you going? Jimmy asked." Going to find Matt and talk to him. "What Addie are you crazy? "I have to do this Jimmy. That's all there is to it.
He walked to catch up with her and they found Matt surprisingly easy. He smirked when he saw her but that disappeared when he saw Jimmy. "Matt we need to talk Addie said. Jimmy please give us a minute. Just stand over there if you want. He looked ready to argue but sighed nodding his head as he gave them some privacy. "You with Jimmy now? Heard he was married with kids. You breaking up families too? I thought it was just Seth. "Cut the crap Matt were all just friends. "Yeah right so what brings you here? Addie was peed off by his attitude. "You heard about our match tonight?
"Yeah I have actually. I see you're dressed for it already. Figured you would be excited to get back in the ring. By looking at your face it seems I stand corrected. "How did you end up in the match? "Well how did you end up in the match? Seems to me someone put us in it. "They don't normally put divas in matches against superstars. I have never tagged with Seth before. You haven't with Kane before.
Were all involved so how did it happen? "Addie I don't know if you don't know. But that's how it's been for a while hasn't it? Personally I think you should be happy about the match. Your back competing and in a main event too. Stealing the show with the guys. It's what you always wanted wasn't it? Taking attention away from everyone else. Being with your little boyfriend Seth and rubbing it in my face.
"I haven't rubbed anything in your face. No one is together. I am in this match against my ex-boyfriend and Kane. Nothing about this is exciting. Seth is going to be all by himself in this. No outside interference permitted. I feel awful about it. "Of course you would it being Seth. He actually deserves this wake up call. It's going to teach him not to get involved with you. You're the cause of his suffering anyway.
I learned that when I was with you. If you weren't causing physical injuries you were breaking hearts. "If there's anyone causing physical injuries it was you. And I put up with it for a long time. Matt laughed "you think that's bad? Well honey its going to get worse. I got a secret for you. I have been working with Kane this whole time. Originally he was going to help me get you back. But I realize now I don't need you.
Seeing her discomfort he winked at her before walking away. "You alright? Jimmy asked. Addie nodded "I'm fine. Let's go. He could tell something was wrong but didn't push it. There was obviously some nerves over the match tonight. He would leave it to Seth to find out if anything else was wrong. He never did know what women were thinking. And now didn't seem like the appropriate time to find out.
Addie sighed putting her head in her hands. She stood up seeing Seth approach. "Seth I'm freaking out I don't know what to do. I don't need to be out there and I can't help you. "Addie just calm down Seth said putting a hand on her shoulder. It's going to be alright. I want let anything happen to you. I'm not going to tag you in the match. I have faced odds like this before it will be fine.
"But Seth I don't want you hurt either. Seth grinned "calm on Addie I'm a wrestler I'm trained for stuff like this. Il do my best out there to win the match for our team. And you do your best to cheer me on. Alright? Addie nodded because that was all she knew to do. They headed toward the gorilla position. As Seth made his entrance Addie followed him. Upon standing on the ramp she could see their opponents already in the ring.
Matt was smirking while Kane looked focused. Seth urged her to follow him down the ramp and then to the ring apron. "Listen he said softly to her if anything goes wrong get out of here as fast as you can. "Okay I will Addie said. "Don't worry Seth said one final time before stepping into the ring. Matt was smirking "why don't you put her in? The match began and Seth showed why he was the architect.
Matt kicked him in the head stopping his momentum. He through Seth into the ropes and smacked his head against the turn buckle in Addie's corner. "Yeah what do you think about that huh? You're with the wrong man. You're going to regret the day you broke up with me. He suplexed Seth and wet back to taunting Addie. Seth attacked him from behind and rather than deal with him Matt tagged in Kane.
He said nothing to her instead he focused on Seth. Kane got the upper hand and Addie felt torn. She felt helpless not being able to do anything. Kane smacked Seth throwing him into Addie. As he fell into her he tapped her hand as he fell out of the ring. Her face went white the referee couldn't possibly think that was legit. He couldn't possibly make her get in this match. And against Kane of all people. She looked at him and though torn he motioned her in.
