Robbie collapsed on Roman's chest, exhausted. Both of them panting with sweaty bodies pressed tightly together. "We need a new hobby."

"Why fix what's not broken?" he asked, sighing contently.

"I guess you're right," she rolled off of him and onto her pillow. "So, you were the locker room leader on Raw, does that carry over to Smackdown?"

"No, I can't walk in and step on anyone's toes in a lockerroom that has already been built and bonded but I will do all I can to make this place better, leader or not," he stated. "Are you going to be alright in your lockerroom?"

"Yeah, you know they had the NXT callups going back and forth between Raw and Smackdown anyway so I know most of the girls. Plus, Bayley, Mickie and Liv made the jump to Smackdown with me so I'll be alright."

"Oh, I almost forgot about your girlfriend, Sonya," he teased.

"Stop," she covered her face with a pillow. "I think people still lowkey believe those lesbian rumors but whatever."

They both showered, got dressed and Roman grabbed his bags to leave first.

Robbie sat on the bed. "I can't wait until the day when we'll be able to walk out of that door together."

"Soon," he leaned down to kiss her before walking out.

In school, she always hated walking into a room last and now was no different as she entered an extremely full Smackdown locker room. Upon her entrance, all eyes flicked to her and every action and conversation seemed to cease.

Robbie cleared her throat to break the awkward silence. "Hi…"

Most of them greeted her, smiled or went back to their business as she walked through and found a spot.

"Hey sexy lady," Sonya spoke.

"I believe that would be you," Robbie shot back at Sonya who was dressed in all black.

"So, who's booked tonight?" Mickie asked.

"Kairi has a short match with Peyton," Paige answered.

"We filmed a short backstage segment that'll air during their entrance and after that match we'll randomly come out to...clap," Mandy scoffed.

"Aren't Charlotte and Becky supposed to be facing off?" Robbie asked, remembering a promo tweet on it. Those two were noticeably absent from the locker room.

"Yeah, again. I'm not going to lie, it was bad enough when our time was getting cut for the triple threat before Mania," Carmella said. "Now we'll have to compete with Elias and his fifteen minute concerts and not to mention Roman!"

"Yep, and I love him but Roman's inclusion is going to kill us. I know they're trying to feature him in small doses so the fans won't turn on him again but once he hits the title scene, he's going to have 20 minute opening segments and 15 minute main events to close the show," Lana agreed. "We would definitely need 3 hours like Raw in order for all of us to be showcased properly instead of rushed matches and segments."

The subject changed to something else and they all went about discussing new things.

Sonya's head turned to Robbie. "Wait, I just thought about something, did your boyfriend get drafted here too?"

Boyfriend seemed to be the trigger word that made heads turn in her direction.

"Boyfriend?" Ember raised a brow.

"Is he your beard?" Liv jokingly asked.

"Actually, the lesbian counterpart to beard is skirt and no, he is not," Robbie replied.

"Who is he?" Peyton asked.

"Uhm, I can't share that," Robbie shook her head. She especially couldn't share that it was the guy they accused of cutting their TV time.

"Lesbian rumors and a boyfriend that you can't name? Hmm," Billie smirked.

"Robyn is not a lesbian or bisexual and if she was, it's none of our business so stop the interrogation," Sonya defended. "I am so sorry. If I'd known they'd turn into a bunch of giddy school girls I wouldn't have brought it up."

"It's okay. The reason I'm not trying to share anything about him is because I'm not sure if the relationship will last. Honestly, I'm thinking about breaking up with him and waiting on someone worthwhile to come along," Robbie strategically said, planting seeds to be single by the time Roman divorces. "Trust me, when I get a good one, everyone will know. If anyone needs me, which I doubt, send them to catering because that's where I'll be."

She was just getting ready to dig into a slice of pizza when a member of the creative team approached her.

"The competitors for Money in the Bank are going to be announced Monday on Raw and you're included," he said.

"What?" Robbie sat up straighter, her mind trying to process what he'd just said. "Really?"

He nodded. "But, we can't just throw you in there with no build. You'll be in a match with Ember Moon tonight."

The match got off to a quick start due to time constraints with Ember attacking at the bell. Robyn rolled to the outside, but Ember used a flip dive off the middle rope onto her. Robbie took over by sending Ember shoulder first into the ring steps and then suplexed her onto the floor. Ember slammed her to the mat and hit a double foot stomp. Ember went for The Eclipse, but Robyn avoided and used that to take over, stomping on the elbow that took Ember out of action for months before her recent return. She further capitalized on Ember's elbow by putting her into a Kimura lock that Ember quickly tapped out of. They were portrayed as equals for the most part but Robbie needed the win since Ember was already established.

"That was a really great match," Roman complimented her in gorilla.

Robyn blushed, batting her lashes at him. "Thank you."

"As a veteran though, I need to give you some advice," he leaned down next to her ear and she waited curiously, expecting criticism. "Next time go up a size on the trunks because the ones you're wearing now kept riding up. The way your ass hung out has my dick ready to drag you into the nearest closet."

"Let's go," she whispered.

"Unfortunately, I have a dark match against Orton after the show," he replied. "Go ahead to the hotel room but don't change out of that gear. I want you just like that."


Roman made it home Wednesday afternoon. As always, his sons ran to him before he had both feet in the door.

Galina was next, kissing him on the cheek. "First full weekend back on the road. Are you good?"

"Yeah, I'm good," he replied. "I'm a little sore but that's to be expected. The real test is going to be the European tour in May where I'll be on the road from the 8th to the 18th overseas, then Money in the Bank on the 19th and then Smackdown that Tuesday."

"That's a long time," she took a deep breath. "Let me ask you a question, are you completely sold on Robyn?"

He didn't have to think very long. "Yes, why do you ask?"

"She's on Smackdown as well which means you'll be with her during that time period…"

"Yep," he confirmed. He hadn't thought about this yet. This will be the most time they've ever spent together and it would certainly make or break their relationship.

"If everything goes well between you two, when you come home I think it's going to be time to tell Jojo and your parents about the divorce."

This was the moment that Roman had been dreading since they first decided to separate last year. He knew he couldn't put it off forever and it had to be done. The only thing he could hope was that they, both his parents and Jojo accepted it.
