The next night Madison tried to find answers as to who those men were that all but ensured that CM Punk would remain champion but she found no helpful answers from anyone. When she had asked Paul about them he just shrugged and said it must've been creative. Now here she was walking down the hall heading off to find the writers room more importantly Mark who was the head writer for WWE, if she learned anything while working beside him was that nothing got past Mark.
"Hey Madison that was a great match last night" Mark said as she found him outside in the hall.
"Yea Punk worked his ass off, can't wait for the celebration tonight"
"Yes should be interesting" Madison figured now with the small talk out of the way she could start asking the questions she wanted answers to.
"So about last night, what was that?" He nodded and laughed.
"I take it Paul didn't tell you"
"Of course not, likes my reaction to be as real as it can be"
"Sounds like Paul, the guys are from NXT, you've really not seen them?"
"Ashamed to say no, been so busy on the road"
"I understand that"
"What do they have to do with Punk?"
"We aren't sure yet, but we'd like to give them a manager, either you or Paul" Madison's eyebrow raised, she couldn't manage them they didn't look like that even wanted to be managed.
"What about Punk?"
"Don't worry you'll still be a co manager to Punk, besides wont happen to at least after the Rumble" Madison nodded rolling her eyes. Punk was supposed to be taking on the almighty Dwayne Johnson, just the thought that he could possibly end Punks reign pissed her off, the belt had to stay on Punks waist it would make no sense for a part timer to be champion. The company and the fans deserved a fighting champion and that is exactly what Punk was.
"Alright well if you know anything about it let me know, Paul won't tell me shit" Once he agreed to go to her with any news they said their goodbyes and headed their own way.
"You're Madison" the voice stated stopping her in her tracks, turning she saw one of the men from last night.
"And you're the guy that helped my client keep his title, not that I'm not grateful but why?" The man with the blond streak in his hair shrugged.
"Just doing what I'm told" Madison nodded slowly, getting an actual look at his face, he was gorgeous, like beautiful. Madison had to admit she was entranced by his lips as they moved, she should probably figure out what he was saying.
"So Ill see you around?" Madison shook her head shaking away the thoughts and gave him a smile.
"Sure looks like it" he smiled and walked away with a chuckle, did he notice her noticing him, knowing her luck he did. Looking at the time on her phone she saw that we were only 10 minutes from Punks one year celebration that would be held in the ring by her and Paul.
"Shit" Running down the hall to the gorilla she saw Paul and Phil waiting.
"Where were you, almost missed my party" Madison laughed and adjusted her shorts.
"God forbid" He bumped her shoulder and smiled as his music hit.
"Lets go celebrate me" he said with a smug smile, causing her to roll her eyes and smile back at him.
Walking to the carpeted ring there were a mix of cheers and boos but either way the attention was on Punk and his title. As Paul and Phil started talking about his year long reign Madison just stood there and smiled, looking at everything Punk had gone through in this business it was nice to see him doing exactly what he wanted. As Paul commented on all the Hall of Famers that couldn't beat Punk, Punk mimicked all of their trademark moves. Once Paul mentioned the match between Punk and The Rock she couldn't help the eye roll, it was so stupid. Listening to Punk talk he turned and looked at her and Paul.
"Only 2 people believed I could win and they are standing in this ring" Paul and Madison looked at each other and back to Punk just as Ryback's music hit. Great now what? Punk pulled her arm pulling her behind him, tossing the mic as Ryback made his way down the ramp, but before he could even get to the ring the 3 men from the night before pounced on him. Madison stood behind Punk watching as Ryback started to fight back.
"Paul get her out of the ring" Paul grabbed her hand and guided her out of the ring just as Ryback made his way into the ring only to be attacked again by the men he had just laid out. They just kept getting back up no matter how hard you knocked them down. Madison found myself smiling as they took apart the announcing table once again, her eyes locked on the man with the blonde streak and she could feel the excitement pulse through her. After they triple power bombed Ryback for the second time they quickly slid in the ring as though to announce that it was their ring.
"Focus on Punk" Madison turned as Paul whispered in her ear, embarrassed that she had been caught staring she quickly gave Punk all her attention as he yelled he was the best in the world. In this moment she knew he was, but her mind couldn't help going back to the man standing in the ring who was now looking right at her.
