Thanks to you guys who have reviewed. This story, just as a reminder, is set in 2007, therefore a lot has changed for Roxy and maybe Randy. Those changes will be rediscovered and answered shortly. Thanks for reading, here's the next chapter...


The next week at Raw was going to be hell, for sure. Roxy knew it was gonna be nothing short of a disaster. Through out the week, Theodore R Long had convinced Roxy to let him have both Muhammad Hassan's tag team partner, Davari, and Sylvian Grenier's partner Rob Conway put over to Smackdown! 'Don't worry, Vince has told me that he'll have a replacement for you that will make up for everything!' Mr Long spoke. Yeah right, where was the replacement gonna come from, the sky?

Roxy, for once, had to trust someone. Urgh, the word 'trust' just brought back memory's from a man she had given every ounce of trust in her body to.

Wrecking her thoughts, a knock came at her office door.

"Come in." Roxy sighed.

"ROXANNA!" called the voice.

"Eugene, how are you?" she asked, quite flatly.

"I'm ok thanks Roxy..."

"Ummm, Eugene, I'm sorry but while we are at Raw, please call me Miss Richards yeah?"

"Oh. Ok." he replied, quite saddened.

"Are you looking forward to your match against Scotty 2 Hotty tonight?"

"Yeah should be fun!" Eugene clapped up and down.

"Good, well you go and get ready and I'll see you after the show yes?" Roxy told Eugene firmly, nearly forcing him out of the door.

Before too long, the office phone started ringing...

"Hello, Miss Richards General Manager of Raw speaking, how can I help you?"

"Miss Richards, how are you getting along?"

"Everything's going fine thank you Mr McMahon."

"Good. Listen I wanted to congratulate you on the Draft Lottery the other week. The ratings went up a bit, so keep on with the good work!"

"Thanks, listen I need to ask you something."

"Ask away."

"Mr Long at Smackdown! said that you have a replacement for both Rob Conway and Davairi."

"I do indeed, he is popping round to see you by the end of Raw."

"Oh, ok. Who is it?"

"You'll see soon enough. Oh, I've got to go, I've got another call coming through. Good luck for tonight."

"Thanks, bye." Roxanna said, more confused than before. Why the hell couldn't Vince have told her who it was then?

'Oh well, why not wait a few more hours!' Roxy thought sarcastically to herself.

In the mean time, she was thinking of ways to increase Raw's ratings. A couple of years ago at Wrestlemania 21, Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels stole the show. Maybe...

Miss Richards decided to walk down to the ring and announce the main event match for next week. She walked out to the ring to a few more cheers than a couple of weeks ago. She looked around the arena. This week it was about 75 full, which was an improvement, but still not enough to truly be classed as successful. She grabbed a microphone and started speaking to the adoring fans...

"Hello North Carolina! Thank you for coming out to Raw tonight. Listen, I have an announcement that will not only concern you, nor the fans next week in Arizona but the great WWE fans all over the world! You see, I was sitting in my office, thinking about what should be our main event match next week, live on Raw. Then I was thinking about what an advantage it was having the only Olympic Gold Medallist in WWE History on Raw. And then, I remembered Wrestlemania 21 when HBK tapped out to Kurt Angle. So next week, only on Raw, it will be the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels vs the Olympic Hero Kurt Angle part II!"

The crowd roared in excitement. They couldn't believe they would get to see the greatest Wrestlemania match ever be replayed!

Roxy made her way to the back, more than just a little happy. She was caught up with a less than happy Kurt Angle...

"Did I just hear you right?"

"You sure did Kurt!" Roxy smiled.

"Rox...I mean Miss Richards, why not save the match until the next pay per view?"

"Kurt, come to my office, I want to show you something."

Kurt eyed Roxy up and down and grinned. What was it she wanted to show him?

"Kurt, these are the past years Raw ratings." Roxy said, handing Kurt the piece of paper.

Kurt looked at the listings in shock.

"Wow, not good are they?"

"Hardly! A block buster match that only you and HBK can delivery could be just the remedy!"

"Ok...I see your point." He said handing back the sheet.

Kurt and Roxy looked each other down like they had do so many times in the past...

"Ok, well, good luck for next week." she finally spoke, leading him to the door.

"Thanks." He said, walking back to his locker room.

Roxy slumped against the door. She didn't realise that being the General Manager was such hard work. She had to respect her Father at least a little for that...

She became distracted until her mobile phone bleeped. She had received a text. 'Alright Rox, can't wait to see you, hope everything is ok, call me when you can next go out love Gavin xxx.' Roxy half laughed to herself.

"He is so sweet." she muttered. She started to reply to her text when the door was knocked on again.

"Ok I'm coming." she shouted, walking over to the door, not taking her eyes off her phone.

"Yes?" she spoke, still not looking at who ever was at the door.

"Hey Roxy!" the familiar male spoke. Roxy dropped her phone in shock...
