Chapter 29

Mercedes smiled brightly as she walked backstage at the arena for Raw later that night. After conquering her fears that past Friday, she was so happy. She had been very happy about getting together with Colby, getting engaged to him, and having Evelyn. But everything else fell into place with that fear she had had for over a year. That fear was gone.

Mercedes was also very happy, because she had Evelyn. She was carrying her in a sling. Evelyn slept soundly in that sling as her mother walked through the arena.

"There are my girls," Colby said.

Mercedes smiled. Colby was talking with Booby Roode. The two were discussing their segment for later that night.

"Hi baby," Mercedes said, walking up to him.

"Hi," Colby replied, kissing her. "And hello my baby girl."

Mercedes smiled as she looked at a sleeping Evelyn.

"All tuckered out," Colby said. He leaned over and kissed Evelyn on the top of her head.

"Hi Bobby," Mercedes said.

"Hey," He replied. "How are you?"

"I'm so excited! I can't wait for later tonight. And there is something great happening for Sasha Banks's feud with Peyton Royce. It has to do with a trade!"

"There's a trade?" Colby asked.

"Yep. Two female superstars from SmackDown are coming here. And two female superstars from Raw going there."

"Who's being traded" Bobby asked.

"Ashley and Pam are going to SmackDown," I whispered. "And Becky and Leah (Carmella) are coming here."

"Why was there a trade?" Colby asked.

"WWE wants to have two horsewomen on each roster. Becky is going to be partnering with me when Billie Kay gets into the mix with Sasha and Peyton. Team B.A.E. is getting back together!"

Colby laughed. "Does Fergal know?"

"More than likely. I was just told by Mick Foley and Stephanie about the trade. Ashley and Pam know too. They're excited. But you know Becky and Fergal are both going to be really happy, because of being on the same roster."

"Oh, yeah," Bobby said.

"Well, I'm going to let you two go back to talking about tonight," Mercedes said.

"No, we're good. Take your fiancé with you."

"Oh, thank you."

"Enjoy," Bobby said walking away.

Colby smiled at Mercedes. She smiled back.

RAW

Peyton Royce was in the middle of the ring. The referee held her arm in the air as she had just defeated Bayley in a match.

Sasha Banks's music suddenly hit. The fans went wild. Peyton looked up at the ramp. She was attacked from behind, knocked to her knees. The fans cheers as they saw Sasha.

Sasha smiled as she stood in the ring. She looked at Peyton. Peyton looked back at her. Sasha smiled at her. Peyton went to scurry away, but Sasha grabbed onto her.

"I told you, you were the first one I was coming after when I came back!" Sasha exclaimed. She then put Peyton in the Bank Statement. Peyton held on, but eventually tapped.

Sasha held onto the hold for a bit longer. The referee had to pulled her away.

Sasha let Peyton go, getting to her feet. She stood in the ring.

"Sasha! Sasha! Sasha!" The fans cheered.

Sasha nodded her head with a huge grin. She raised her hands in the air as if she were showing off her Legit Boss rings.

Commercial Break

Sasha smiled as she walked back stage with a huge smile on her face.

"Sasha? Sasha?"

Sasha turned her attention to the backstage interviewer Charly Caruso.

"Can I get a word about her attack on Peyton Royce just moments ago?" Charly asked.

"Well, about a month ago, I made my first appearance in a WWE ring in a year. I told the world about my recovery from my rape, having my daughter, getting engaged to a wonderful man, and everything else that happened since I had my interview with Michael Cole about my rape.

"But Bobby Rood, as his name says, was rude. He came out to the ring when I was talking with Bryon Saxton. Seth Rollins, my fiancé, quickly came out. Roode had the audacity to call me a slut and call me a liar about my rape. I have said many times and I will say it again. I would not call cry rape if I hadn't been!

"But Seth took care of Roode and has been for the last month. But then Peyton had the audacity to approach me, say my daughter was better off if I had given her up, and calls both me and Seth selfish for being here and not at home with our daughter.

"I am not selfish! And Peyton is basically calling other women selfish, because they are working and not at home with their kids.

"But I said to Peyton after I gave her a slap across her face that she was the first one I was coming after when I returned. And I made that perfectly clear with my attack on her tonight.

"So, Peyton," Sasha said, looking at the camera. "The Boss is back and you're the first one I'm going to deal with before I go after the WWE Raw Women's Championship. Bank on it!"

Sasha walked away from Charly. The camera cut from backstage with them and back to the ring with Michael, Corey, and Bryon saying a few words about Sasha.

"That was great, Mercedes," Charly said as she hugged her.

"Thank you," Mercedes said.

"Welcome back."

"Thank you."

Mercedes smiled. She was so happy.

People were waiting around for her. She hugged them all.

"It was great being in the ring with you," Cassie (Peyton Royce) said, hugging her.

"You too," Mercedes replied.

"I can't wait for our match on Saturday," Jessica (Billie Kay) said, hugging Mercedes as well.

"Me too," Mercedes said.

"But also, having the storyline with you, Becky, and Cassie."

"Yes," Cassie said. "It's going to be amazing!"

Mercedes smiled.
