Cobo Arena, Detroit Michigan

The next week Aaliyah was walking through the arena heading over to the gym to get a short work-out when she was approached by Eric Bishoff.

"Why hello there Ms. Grace." He greeted with a disgusting grin.

"Vishoff." Aaliyah said back.

"It's Bishoff, look I saw what happened last week on Raw, JBL never should have came and attacked you during your match and I know you would have wanted to get some payback."

"Obviously."

"But the match between you and Torrie was a no-contest and I can't have that, so I decided to put you in a tag-team match tonight, Torrie and JBL vs. you and a partner of your choice."

"What, but I don't know anybody here, how am I supposed to find a partner by tonight?."

"Figure it out." He answered coldly. "Have a good day and good luck in your match." Eric walked away with a smile on his face.

"Asshole." Said aaliyah, she then headed down to the gym trying to figure out who she was going to have for a partner tonight.

That Night

Aaliyah was pacing back and forth in the women's locker room trying to think of a partner in less than 7 minutes. Eddie nor Rey couldn't do it because they had been booked for their individual matches, there was only one last option, but she didn't want to do it.

"Do I have much of a choice?." She said aloud. Aaliyah walked out of the room and made her way to a different locker room, reaching the door she was searching for she knocked on it, but there was no answer, she knocked on it again, but still no answer.

"He's not there." Came a voice, aaliyah turned to her side to see Kurt Angle standing a few feet away. "If your wondering."

Aaliyah lowered her head. "Thanks."

"Your welcome Ms. Grace." He said.

"Well if you see him, could you tell him I'm–." Aaliyah took a sigh building up the urge to say it. "Sorry for last week and if he forgives me, to come to the ring."

Kurt nodded. "Sure, I'll tell him."

"Thank you Kurt and sorry for how I acted towards you too." She said before running down to the gorilla. Kurt smiled.

"Guess she's not a bitch after all." He said.

At the gorilla position

Just as aaliyah reached the gorilla her theme music began to play, after catching her breath, she made her way out. Once again she could see flashes everywhere and a mixture of screaming and booing, she could hear some cat-calls from the guys, but she knew that was from her outfit, a Leopard romper with black fur trimmings along with black wrestling boots. Reaching the ring she stood on the opposite side of the squared circle next to the ropes, when her music died down she as well as the crowd turned to the ramp to see who would come out.

There was dead silence for a minute or two, Aaliyah lowered her head sadly guessing her potential partner refused her offer. That was until she heard music beginning to play, the crowd were on their feet as the man made his way down to the ring. Aaliyah lifted her head up with a smirk when she saw him.

"And making his way to the ring weighing in at 248 pounds, from West Newbury Mass...John Cena." Lillian announced. John slid into the ring and stood next to Aaliyah.

"Thanks, but I still don't like you." Aaliyah whispered to john.

"Your welcome and same here." He whispered back, he stood on the outside along with JBL while Torrie and Aaliyah stayed in the middle, the bell was sounded and the two locked.

Aaliyah held Torrie in a headlock while she desperately tried to escape, JBL was shouting at torrie to break out of it. Torrie began to punch aaliyah in the mid-section and she finally broke the hold. Torrie grabbed her by her head to hit a DDT, but aaliyah was clever and grabbed the ropes so torrie fell on her back. While aaliyah recovered torrie crawled over and tagged in Jbl, he entered with a smirk on his face as he watched the diva try and compose herself, when she realized who was in the ring she tried to tag in john, but jbl ended up grabbing her hair, she yelped in pain at the force.

"Get off of me!" She screamed.

"Your gonna get yours bitch." He growled into her ear before john came into the ring, he clotheslined him and jbl fell and rolled out of the ring.

"You okay." John asked as he helped her up.

"I'm fine." She said, suddenly torrie jumped on john's back trying to choke him out, john smiled at her attempt before he grabbed her by her hair and slammed her into the mat. Cena rolled out of the ring while aaliyah went to work on the fallen diva. She picked her up and irish whipped her into the turnbuckle pressing her foot against her neck so she would choke her, the ref began to count forcing her to move her away to the middle of the ring.

Aaliyah turned to the outside where john had just whipped jbl into the steel steps, she winced as she watched him connect with the steel, john turned to her and winked at her. Aaliyah nodded and turned back to her opponent, she got behind her wrapping an arm around torrie's neck and the other around her forehead, the crowd was on their feet as aaliyah slammed the back of torrie's head to the canvas which knocked her out cold. She tiredly rolled on top of her and the ref counted 1...2...3.

"And here are your winners Aaliyah and John Cena!" Lillian announced s john rolled into the ring. The ref raised his hand, he was about to raise aaliyah's, but she rolled out of the ring and made her way up the ramp, she took one last look at john who looked confused as well as everyone in the arena before disappearing behind the curtain.

20 minutes later in the hallway

Aaliyah was on her way back to the hotel when she heard someone call her name.

"Aaliyah!" She turned around surprised to see John Cena running up to her, he also had his luggage with him.

"Yeah." She said putting her hands on her hips.

"What's wrong, you left the ring before we could celebrate." He asked.

"I don't celebrate victories." Said Aaliyah as she turned around and began walking towards the entrance, john followed beside her.

"What do you mean you don't celebrate victories?." He asked.

"Look, I appreciate you helping me out there, but I had a job to do and I did it. I don't gloat over winning a match, maybe you and the other guys do, but I don't. Thanks for the help earlier, but you and me are back to square one, I don't like you, you don't like me, bye John...see ya." Aaliyah kept walking as john just stood in his spot taking in what she just said.

"Yep." Said John. "She's defiantly gonna be a problem."
