I walked into the back and everyone clapped. I took a bow and blew a kiss before I began to walk back to the trailer. I was stopped by Renee Young, mic in hand.
"Devin, first of all I want to say welcome back. After eight long years, you've finally made your return to the WWE. And your return couldn't be any greater. You just won the first ever Women's Royal Rumble match. How are you feeling?"
"Good." I shrugged. "I knew I had this in the bag."
"Have you picked out..." Renee started but I cut her off.
"If you want a full interview you're going to have to schedule one with. I'm a busy woman, Renee." I said before walking away. I made it to the trailer and Dolph planted a kiss on me.
"That was amazing." He said. "You did great."
"Thanks babe." I smiled at him. "Too bad, no one is even going to care."
"Why do you say that?" He asked.
"Who does she think she is?" Katarina said entering the trailer. I looked at her before looking at him and he nodded. "How dare she? You won the first ever Royal Rumble and she had the audacity to come out try to shake your hand?"
"Kat, it's not that big of a deal..." Seth tried saying.
"Not a big deal?" Kat said. She rolled her eyes. "What a joke. That's like if... Conner McGregor coming and interrupting you winning a title or something. You just don't do it."
"That would be kinda cool, actually." Dolph said.
"Wouldn't it though?" Seth said looking at him.
"Focus." Katarina said. "Who are you going to pick?"
"Um.." I said.
"Whatever title you pick is the show you're going to end up on." Katarina added.
"True." I said.
"It's going to be Smackdown, right?" Dolph asked.
"Um.." I said.
"No, it's going to be Raw." Seth said. "We're going to rule the division as brother and sister."
"No, we're going to rule the division as besties." Katarina corrected him. "Right?"
"Look, guys." I said. "I don't know what show I'm going to go to." I said. "I want whatever is best for my career. I need to study the champions more..."
"You do realize if you go to Raw we are never going to see each other?" Dolph said.
"I feel like you of all people would understand what it means to do what's best for your career." I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"Yea, how so?" He asked crossing his arms over his chest.
"You literally dated Vikki Guerro to help your career?" I threw my hands to my side.
"Why is that always your go to thing to bring up?" He asked.
"Oh, I don't know because it's incredibly ridiculous that you dated her." I shrugged.
"Yea, well let's talk about how you were head over heels for Cody Rhodes." He said batting his lashes and clasping his hands.
"I told you to never bring him up." I said sticking a finger into his face. He smirked at me and stretched back in his chair.
"Well it's incredibly ridiculous you dated him." He mocked me.
"I swear to..." I started.
"Okay." Seth said. "Before you kill my foolishly-stupid future brother-in-law, let's go get dressed to celebrate your big win."
"Oh, yea." Katarina said. "We can invite some of the newbies from the locker rooms so you can start to get introduced to everyone." I held my breath for a moment.
"Fine." I said grabbing my suitcase and walking out of the trailer.
It was around midnight when we made it to some new hot bar Philly. I wore a sleeveless black super low V-neck pant with a pair of bright red Jimmy Choo's. My hair was the only thing to keep my bare shoulders warm in the cool February air. Dolph wore a pair of blue dress pants and a white button up with flamingos with the top buttons undone with a blue blazer over it. Dolph walked in front of me and pulled open the door and looked at me, waiting for me to thank him.
"Your shirt is stupid." I looked at him before walking in. I caught a small smirk on his face as we entered. We found our table and it looked like everyone was already there. "Sorry we're late, someone couldn't decide what they wanted to wear." I looked over to Dolph before sitting in my seat setting my gold clutch on the table.
"Hey, that's a pretty cool shirt though." Seth said. I looked to Dolph who grinned at me causing me to glare at Seth. "What?" He asked holding his hands up.
"Anyways." Katarina said, dressed in a classic long sleeve black dress with a pair of hot pink heels. "Devin, I would like to introduce you to Sasha Banks, Bayley, JoJo, Alexa Bliss, Aralynn Davis, Finn Balor and you know Roman and Dean."
"Boys." I said fist bumping the two shield members.
"Welcome back." Roman said.
"Yea, good to see you." Dean said. I grabbed my water and began to sip on it.
"Devin and I actually know each other." Finn started to say. The water caught in my throat and I started coughing.
"You okay." Dolph said placing his hand on the small of my back. I nodded as I cleared my throat.
"How do you know each other?" Alexa asked putting her elbows on the table and placing her chin in her hands.
"We..." Finn started.
"We met on the indie circuit." I said. "We um.. tagged for a bit in Japan." I nodded. Finn looked over to me and smiled a little.
"Interesting." Alexa said tapping her fingers on the table. We order some food and drinks and talked for a couple hours. I really liked the girls. They were definitely changing this business for the better and they were just cool people in general. We said our goodbyes and Alexa caught my hand. "Since we're besties now, I guess it's safe to say you're going to stay away from my title." I let out a laugh.
"Ask Katarina how I am with my "besties" when they have something I want." I smirked pulling my hand away and walking away. We got into our rental car and Dolph started driving. We rode in silence, not because we were mad at each other, it was more of the fact that he was annoying. Dolph stopped the car at John F. Collins park and I looked at him.
"I thought we could go for a walk to clear the air." He said.
"It's freezing out and I don't have a jacket." I said pushing an eyebrow up.
"Come on." He said as he got out of the car and opened my door. He held his hand out to me. I rolled my eyes and took it. We started walking and he shrugged off his jacket and placed it on my shoulders. I grinned a little as we kept walking. We stopped at a beautiful art piece. It was made of metal, there were an assortment of swirls and flowers.
"This is amazing." I said gazing at it. "Thanks for this." I said turning to Dolph who kneeled on one knee. I brought my hands to my face as I started at the blue box in his hand. It was opened and inside was a oval cut diamond maybe the size of a carat and a half with three smaller diamonds on each side on a rose gold colored band.
"We have been together for eight long years now, you have stuck by my side no matter what I've done and I have done some stupid things." He said. "So Devin Rose Rollins, will you be my wife?" He asked. My eyes watered a bit and I smiled a little. "Just a reminder these pants cost us a six hundred dollars and I'm ruining them in the snow."
"Yea." I nodded. He walked over to me and picked me up before planting a kiss on me. He set me down and slid the ring on my finger. "Aah, I can't believe you're becoming a Rollins."
"Wait what." He said. "No you're becoming a Ziggler."
"It's a much bigger name than Ziggler sweetie." I said placing my hand on his shoulder. "We can talk about it." I said.
"Yea okay." He scrunched up his face.
RAW
Alexa was in the middle of her match with Bayley. I had a game plan and it was a good one. I walked out onto the stage and I smiled throwing my hands to the side and crossing my arms. Alexa was screaming from the ring and pointing for me to go to the back. Bayley capitalized and caught Alexa in a roll up and won that match. I titled my head from side to side before giving her a small smirk. I turned off the stage and walked into the back.
SMACKDOWN
It was the same plan as last night. Charlotte was in a match with Carmella. I walked out onto the stage, same style as the night before and stood there. Charlotte sent a look my way and I smiled and waved. Carmella tried rolling Charlotte up by Charlotte stood her ground and sent a big boot into her face. She wrapped Carmella up in a figure eight and stared at me while she tapped. I smiled again. Tilting my head from side to side again and walking away. For the next few weeks this was my strategy against them to see who the better opponent would be over time.
