Thank you to everyone for following and reviewing. I apologize for the grammatical errors in the first chapter. I have to look over my chapters before I review them more often. Thank you and enjoy the chapter.
Also even though in real life, Zahra is not with the WWE/NXT anymore, in this story she is a wrestler and is on the WWE roster. Just FYI
"This is bullshit! This was a load of crap..."
Taryn kept thinking of that over and over in her mind. She was about to scream to the high heavens . However, the last thing she wanted to do was get suspended by her boss and cost her career because of the fact that Seth, that fucking idiot would be her mentor.
There was no way they were letting this happen.
"Umm..with all due respect, Ms. Stephanie and Mr. Mcmahon... but are you sure that its a good idea?" Taryn really wanted to question their job skills but it seemed as though they already knew what they were doing.
Seth smirked at seeing Taryn's discomfort about this position. He wasn't thrilled to be mentoring her either, but he knew he would gain some ounce of revenge by making her life a living hell.
She looked different though; Seeing as how her hair was darker and she was curvy in all the right places, along with the fact that she started putting on some makeup, green of course, with a cat eye design and she had green mixed in with her black hair. Her in ring persona was that she was an wicked outcast and the WWE creative board loved her idea and decided to go with it.
"We believe its a great idea!" Hunter quipped, excited. "I know you two don't get along with each other and everyone is pretty well aware of that. However, this will be perfect for the WWE. Especially for the up and coming story lines."
It was almost over a year since Seth turned his back on his brothers after WWE payback and was now the golden boy of the Authority. Of course off screen, Seth, Roman and Dean were still brothers but they now had solo careers. Right now Seth was Mr. Money In The Bank thanks to Kane's help at MITB (Money In The Bank.)
Taryn was only 26 years old and she had yet to earn any championship opportunity. She felt as though she was being ignored sometimes but she knew her chance would come. She's been busting her ass ever since she came up to the roster and has proven herself time and time again that she was not a diva, but a female wrestler wanting to be taken seriously. Her and her sister Ariel both trained morning and night and out on the road with only one day off a week. Even despite the criticism from the other divas and the mocking from The Bella Twins, Paige and Alicia Foxx, she refused to let any of them get inside her head.
She just wanted to be accepted and she never had that feeling in high school. Her sisters were more accepted than her and with being in the WWE, she wanted to just prove herself and who better than the Authority, despite the despicable acts they have set on.
She never trusted the Authority and have gotten into serious arguments with them, but not to the point as she knew they needed her...well in this case they needed Seth more.
"I'm sorry..story lines?" Taryn was confused but Stephanie ignored her.
"Let's be clear about this. The chemistry you two have-"
"Ok with all due respect, there is no chemistry at all!" Taryn explained. "I mean honestly, Miley Cyrus and I don't work well together."
"It's Seth, you dumb ass." He rolled his eyes.
"Well you look like Miley Cyrus." She retorted, ready to smack him.
"Both of you, quiet." Stephanie warned them. "Don't interrupt me again. And Let's be honest Rollins, you could use the mentoring as well."
Seth scoffed at the opinion of the Authority, in disagreement with that statement.
"Ok, hold on a second. I am the future of the WWE. I am in line to be the next WWE World Heavy Weight Championship. I have been wrestling in the indies for years.."
"All the more for the both of you to get your attitude in shape." Hunter straightened them both out, seeing as they were glaring at each other. "There have been complaints from your other co workers about your recent fighting backstage. This isn't the first time you two have caused trouble. Now this is the solution to fix this and Taryn has her match next. You two need to improve as wrestlers so either you fix it or we will, damn the fact that you two are the top WWE superstars."
"Bottom line; Either get it together, or don't come back." Stephanie warned them. "Now, get ready as Seth you will be accompanying her to the ring tonight for her match against Tamina."
"I'm not doing it." Taryn was defiant as she crossed her arms. She was not going to work with this arrogant jackass. "I'm not here to kiss ass, I'm here to gain respect."
"And you are also here because you have a job to do. Now both of you, get to it." Hunter glared at them both.
There was nothing else to say as Seth and Taryn both left the office. From the moment that they have stepped into the WWE, their hatred for each other rekindled and they started fighting again. It got out of control to where they almost hurt one of the audience members as they were fighting in the crowd. Taryn did more of the attacking than Seth and at times, Seth would have J&J security attack her or pull pranks on her, ones that were pretty cruel and embarrassing to where she almost ran him over with her rental car as she was driving to the airport that night with her sister, Ariel.
They were walking into the hallway as Taryn pulled the hood over her head as her gear sported a black romper with furry knee high boots and her skeletal gloves.
Seth was wearing an "Authority" shirt with his leather pants and gloves, carrying his briefcase.
"Just so we are clear, I don't need any help from you." She stated as they made their way to the entrance as the Divas match was about to start.
"If you didn't need any help, you wouldn't be a jobber in your matches. It's clear you suck at wrestling." His arrogance coming into fruition.
"Honestly do you ever stop breathing?" She was close to pulling her hair out.
"Do you ever stop running your nagging mouth?"
"Damn it, Colby Lopez I am not in the fucking mood with you!" She snarled, saying his real name, looking up at his 6'1 frame. "I swear to God I am going to-"
"Oooh what are you going to do, nag me some more?" He mocked her angry face. "Come on little troll,
Taryn had enough as she just kicked him in his shin and walked away.
"Ouch!" He held his leg. "Damn, that troll can't take a joke."
"So it turns out, Seth will be accompanying me to my match tonight." She grumbled as she met up with AJ Lee, Naomi and Maria Kanellis. Ariel went up and hugged her sister from behind.
"Ooooh I knew you two was in a love connection." Ariel teased
"Oh God just shoot me already." Taryn whined.
"What's the big deal? Seth is actually pretty cool and he's cute too." AJ smirked, having a slight crush on all the past members of the Shield even though she was married to CM Punk, who retired.
"Puppies are cute. Babies are cute. Seth Rollins face is what makes babies cry and puppies die" She shook her head, disgusted.
"I swear you know Mama Lucia would laugh at you right now if she had the time to come here tonight." Ariel pecked her cheek.
Taryn and Ariel both sighed, thinking of their graduation day when they and Kristen visited their mom at the hospital, seeing as she was on her last dying breath as they knew it was time for her to go. The funeral was hard to even sit through but their Grandmother Lucia helped the girls through it. Taryn didn't know how to process it.
Anyway, RAW had finished going off of commercial as it was time for the Divas match. Tamina Snuka was out there first, accompanied by Naomi as they were playing a heel role.
Then "Sleigh Bells; Demons" was playing through the speakers as smoke started appearing and then Taryn came out, doing a loud screech as the fireworks popped off into the arena.
"Her opponent, she is from Santa Monica, California. Making her way into the ring, accompanied by Mr. Money In The Bank, Seth Rollins. Weighing at 115 pounds; Taryn!" Lillian Garcia announced.
"And as we can see, Seth and Taryn are apparently here together tonight." Michael Cole discussed.
"I mean, don't those two hate each other." Byron Saxon questioned, chuckling at how many times those two have fought.
"Well Taryn is going to have to get over it. I don't even know why she likes to cause trouble, her and her sister. They have both caused trouble ever since they stepped foot here. Taryn is lucky to be assisted by the man, who will be future champion.!'' JBL praised Seth.
"Honestly, Taryn has been making it pretty damn well on her own so she really doesn't need any assistance." Michael argued. "And to be fair, Seth's the one who started it."
"I can agree with Cole here on that one." Byron added his two cents.
Taryn slapped high fives with the young fans as there was a mixture of boos and cheers, mostly cheers for Taryn. She looked at the front crowd and saw that Stefan wasn't even here.
"Maybe he's running late.." She assumed.
But she had to focus as she was up against the most dangerous diva there was and that was Tamina. Even though her and Naomi were best friends outside the ring, she was still a heel and Taryn definitely had to keep her eye on them.
The referee signaled the start of the match and rung the bell as Taryn and Tamina started to get into a headlock position with each other, with Taryn getting the upper hand as she elbowed Tamina in the face. As she ran for Tamina to do a clothesline as she bounced off the ropes, Tamina kicked her in the face. She tried to pin her but Taryn kicked out. It was then that Tamina tried to put her into a sleeper hold, as Taryn was struggling to get out of her grasp, despite the cheers coming from Seth.
Eventually she was able to get out of it but got knee'd in the stomach by Tamina. Naomi tried to get up on the apron to distract the ref but Taryn punched her, knocking her down. Tamina then tried to go for a Samoan drop but as for the pin, Taryn kicked out.
15 minutes into the match and pretty soon, Taryn gained the momentum and went into full attack as she hit Tamina with every ounce of strength in her moves. The crowd was right behind her as she was gaining the upper-hand and getting right into Tamina. Naomi tried to go for distraction once again and this time it worked as she yanked Taryn's hair, knocking her down.
Tamina was ready to end the match as she went for the Samoan Splash but then she hit the mat as Taryn rolled out the way doubled over in pain from the hardness of the mat. She then locked Tamina in her submission hold as she put her into the "Straight jacket" (Inverted sharpshooter with double chickenwing).
Within those seconds, Tamina tapped out and Taryn had the victory as she stood up, the ref raising her hand.
"Here is your winner by submission; Taryn!" Lillian announced as she smiled
Tamina rolled out the ring as Naomi helped her, the both of them glaring at her. Taryn still didn't see any sign of Stefan during her match and wondered where he was.
She didn't think too long as she felt her head being knocked over by a briefcase thanks to Seth Rollins. Taryn fell over as she rubbed her head in pain.
"Wait a minute, who is that?!" Michael Cole asked as they saw a dark haired girl running down the ramp, covered in tattoos and in a sexy new ring gear as she pulled Taryn up.
"Finish her!" Seth told the girl.
Taryn opened her eyes to see it was Zahra Scrieber, the newest WWE diva on the roster. Zahra did her finisher on her and the crowd booed as Seth and Zahra kissed each other over Taryn as she was down.
"I knew it...I knew it was another trick.." Taryn's voice said over in her mind.
They both left the ramp as they both mocked and made fun of her as Taryn sat up, rubbing her head while the ref checked on her to see if she was ok physically.
Taryn knew she would be ok, as she stood up, exhausted and in pain.
This wouldn't be the first time and this sure as hell wouldn't be the last time.
She had a feeling the Authority was part of this. This whole mentoring thing had to be a set up and she was indeed correct as Stephanie and Hunter came out and hugged both Zahra and Seth Rollins.
This wasn't over. This was FAR from over.
