"So, now that you've made your statement to Stephanie and The Authority, we need to talk logistics." Adam stated, watching as CJ adjusted her sweatpants before laying on the couch of the bus. She was tired, seemingly always tired these days, but he had her attention and he knew he did. The cameras for the WWE24 special were set up and rolling, but he had to ignore them because if he paid attention to them then she would and sif she was paying attention to them then the footage wouldn't be as genuine and her focus would no longer be on him. "What is your plan?"

"Going into SummerSlam, my plan is to win." She responded simply, lifting her legs so Dean could sit down on the couch and rub her feet. "And, should I not win, I'll be fine with it. No tantrums, no breakdowns, just me doing me. I'll get my rematch, request that there be no disqualifications, get it back, and everything is fine."

"How long are you going to keep going like this, Chrissie?"

"Until my contract expires after WrestleMania 32." She responded without hesitation, stunning both men but they were proud that she knew she couldn't keep going at the rate she was. "I want to be able to be at home with my daughter, have another kid, be at home with the dog and let Olivia grow up normal."

"Normal?"

"As normal as she can be, being the daughter of a third generation professional athlete with a father who will most likely be on the road full time." She shrugged, looking at Dean who gave a shrug of his own. CJ sat up, looking Adam in the eye as she leaned forward. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm proud of you. You're growing up, kiddo." He explained, smiling when she flashed a grin in his direction. "Never thought I'd see the day."

"Yeah, well, I've done a lot of legendary things in the last six months."

"And I want to do something that I think is special but you might think I'm patronizing you."

"What's up?"

"I want you to use my music at SummerSlam." Adam stated, watching with a smile as her eyes widened and her mouth fell open. This was something that they had touched on before, back when she was training to become a wrestler and she had said that she wanted just one match where she used his theme and paid that tribute to him. Back then he had no idea that he would be retiring before she really ever had a chance to get a big match so he had told her that they'd be tagging on that big night. "And no you're not dreaming."

"You said-"

"Keep in mind that I wasn't planning on retiring back when we had the conversation in 2005."

"This is true." She mumbled, sitting up a bit straighter when Adam held his hand out. "One condition though."

"Name it."

"We do the whole entrance together, Tony Chimmel, pyro, and all."

"Then you need some Rated R inspired gear."

"I'll send the text to Heyman." She stated, clasping her hand in her dad's to shake it with a grin. She was so excited to have Adam in her corner at SummerSlam, but now the pressure was on. Having him in her corner, using his music, performing his entrance, and the fact that she was doing this for her daughter made it so she had to win. She'd take her loss if it happened, but losing wasn't really an option anymore.

"What's on your mind?"

"Just in awe that this is actually happening."

"Get that out of your system, babe. Brock wants you in the ring tomorrow." Dean commented, gently patting her shoulder as her smile stretched into a grin. "The text said something about new moves."

"Finally." CJ breathed, knowing just what Brock was interested in teaching her (since there was only one thing Brock hadn't taught her) and grateful that he finally felt like she was ready to learn it. She had been pushing the Beast since she had become a Heyman Girl, Brock's excuse being that she wasn't mentally ready for something like that.


"You can't be afraid of the mat." Brock called from where he was sitting on the turnbuckle across from CJ. Seth was laying on the mat, ready for her to finally jump off and onto her. "Worst case scenario: you don't get the full spin in."

"Worst case scenario is me breaking Seth."

"Worst case scenario is actually you breaking your neck." Dean put in from where he sat atop another turnbuckle, Adam nodding his agreement from where he sat by the ring with Olivia in his arms. "But you can't think about that part. Be fearless."

"Yeah, Nikki Bella?" She teased, standing and turning around so she could moonsault onto Seth. It wasn't what she was looking for, nor was it what Brock wanted her to do, but it was something that she was familiar with that would help her get out of her scared mentality in terms of flipping off the top rope. "I did it fine on the trampoline, I don't understand why it's so scary up here."

"Pretend you're on the trampoline then." Seth suggested, patting CJ's back since the blonde was still laying across him. "It was a great moonsault, though."

"Thank you, Seth." CJ murmured before getting off of him, turning to Brock as she sat up. "What were you thinking about when you did it at WrestleMania against Kurt Angle?"

"How cool it would look when I watched it back."

"Figured as much." She murmured, shaking her head with a smile as she stood. "Ready Seth?"

"As I'll ever be." He assured, giving a thumbs up as she climbed to the top turnbuckle and stood, looking only at Seth as she steadied her breathing and readied herself for the jump.

"OH MY GOD!" Heyman screamed from the doorway as CJ landed on Seth, grinning when everyone turned to look at him.

"Jesus tits." CJ breathed, Seth patting her back again before sitting up with her. "You okay?"

"I'm good. You did good, sweetheart." He assured as Heyman got into the ring, notepads in his hand that were quickly handed over to CJ to look through.

"Got the text last night and quickly set to work with somebody to work on designs for your SummerSlam gear." Paul explained, looking to Brock as CJ and Seth looked through the designs. "Why are you trying to kill both the Women's Champ and WWE World Heavyweight Champion in one go?"

"This is the biggest match of her career so far, we need to pull out all the stops." The Beast reasoned with a shrug, watching as Dean joined the two in looking through the designs. The three were on one page for a while, pointing and discussing the design and comparing them to the picture of Adam's gear to the left.

"I'm a huge advocate for the jacket, but I prefer the black pants to the red." CJ murmured, Seth nodding his agreement as Dean shrugged.

"I like that the jacket doesn't have the clasps all the way down, but just the one to close it so you could be showing off the belt around your waist as you walked down the ramp." Dean commented, CJ nodding her agreement as she pulled his phone from his pocket to google something.

"Reminds me of the ring jacket Nattie used to wear." She explained, finding the picture and showing the two men sitting beside her.

"I see it." Seth commented as CJ stood with the book and hopped out of the ring to show Adam. The four men in the ring watched as the father-daughter duo discussed what CJ wanted for her gear out of the pages they looked through, but Dean was paying closer attention to their faces as they spoke. There was something about the way they were looking at each other as they communicated that was just so pure to the blonde, and he hoped that he and Olivia would be able to have that bond like CJ and Adam had.
