Later on that night Madison was sitting in the gym with Kofi and Dolph joking around, she was waiting for Phil's segment with Dwayne and then she was heading anywhere there was alcohol.
"So I heard you're not traveling with Phil anymore whats up with that" Kofi asked as Madison shrugged her shoulders not knowing what to say.
"Its just quieter when I'm on the road by myself"
"Gets lonely though" Dolph chimed in.
"If you ever get bored traveling alone you can travel with us"
"Thanks guys, but I'm good for now"
"Well word is you are about to start traveling with The Shield anyway, that should be interesting" Madison smiled at the thought.
"Yea well we will see, nothing has been decided yet" Dolph jumped up from his chair obviously full of energy and anticipation to get into the ring.
"Phil cant be too happy about sharing you" Madison looked at Kofi and pursed her lips, but before she answered Dolph interrupted.
"This conversation is taking a turn, we got to keep shit light in here before I go nuts" Kofi smiled as Dolph kicked her foot off of his leg.
"And what do you have planned Zig?" Madison asked smiling at this over grown five year old.
"I don't know, you want to spar" Madison tilted her head and furrowed her eyebrows.
"You want to spar with me?"
"Yea why not, come on show me what you got girly" Madison laughed and stood up pulling her shorts down.
"You sure I don't want to hurt you, would hate for you to get another concussion" Kofi laughed out loud, leaning back into his chair as Dolph's mouth fell open into a smile.
"HaHa big talk from such a short person" Dolph was interrupted as his phone rang. "Saved by God his self" Madison laughed and sat back down next to Kofi.
"So how are you doing really?" Madison smiled at Kofi, he always treated her like his little sister, keeping a close eye on her well being back when they used to travel with Phil together.
"Why do you ask that?"
"I talked to Phil, he's worried about you" Madison scoffed, she was sick of everyone acting like she couldn't take of herself or make her own decisions.
"I don't know why, he needs to worry about himself and his fight with Dwayne"
"Ooh please you know that Phil has this" Madison nodded and smiled at Kofi, it killed her knowing that she was the only one that knew Phil wasn't walking out of The Rumble with the championship. She suddenly felt to closed in and knew she needed a break from the protectiveness that Kofi was lovingly showing her.
"I'm sorry I gotta go find Mia" As she said her goodbyes she let out a sigh of relief, she hated when Phil got brought up, she couldn't help but feel sick whenever she thought of him with April, but she knew that they were better off friends and she would be happy when everything went back to normal. Walking to The Shields locker room to find Mia no doubt with Dean she smiled as she walked into the room Roman being the first to greet her.
"Hey Maddie"
"Hi Ro" He raised an eyebrow at her nickname for him, but she swore she saw the faintest hint of a smile. She smiled at her assistant who was sitting as close as possible to Dean Ambrose, she was happy that Mia had found someone. Seth walked out of the bathroom to see Madison and he stopped for a second nothing was working his mind has gone completely blank all he saw was her, as she looked up at him and smiled he quickly dropped his eyes and continued to his chair on the other side of the room, he was fully prepared to avoid and keep his mind on his girlfriend.
"So Seth does the offer still stand?" He looked up at her and had to keep his stare from being so intense.
"What offer?"
"To train me"
"Ooh yea... I mean if you still want to"
"Yea I'm excited"
"So what like tomorrow?" Madison felt herself nod, only because she couldn't form any words, the image of Seth shirtless and sweaty took over her mind leaving her almost breathless. She was thankful when her phone went off letting her know that it was time to meet Phil and Paul. Telling Seth to text her with a time and place and saying goodbye to the other Shield members her and Mia went off to meet Phil.

As Madison stood with Phil and Paul waiting for The Rock's concert to come to an end she felt the air between her and Phil tense up she wanted to ask him if he had talked to Mark yet but she decided against it, she didn't want him to be upset with her but he had to know she was unhappy in her role. All she wanted was for him to take her seriously because maybe if he did everyone else would. She looked from the screen as she saw Seth and Dean walk by the excitement peeked when she thought of what she would be able to do with them, even if Phil didn't like it when she debuted with The Shield was determined to be more physical and then she would show Phil what she was really made of. She watched The Rock set his equipment aside, saying that he wants to take this time to call someone out as The Rock asks WWE Champion CM Punk to come to the ring because he has something to tell the champion, Getting their signal CM Punk with Paul and Madison in tow he makes his way to the staging area and The Rock presents some 'facts' for CM Punk saying that, for 421 days, no one has been able to stop Punk. The Rock then takes a shot at Heyman, saying that Heyman has 'Twinkie Tits' and implies that Madison slept her way to the top earning her a 'Slut' chant from the crowd causing her to roll her eyes and shake her head before turning his attention back to CM Punk, telling Punk that he isn't God, but as God as his witness, he will beat Cm Punk for the WWE Title. Punk then whispered something to Paul who in turn nodded at Madison before CM Punk charged the ring as The Rock meets him on the way to the ring and the champion and challenger brawl around the ringside area repeatedly breaking free of the grip of the host of referees that tried to separate them. Finally, some WWE agents rush out and are finally able to successfully restrain CM Punk and The Rock from tearing each other apart. Madison smiled smugly as she made her way backstage with Phil, she was about to make a quick exit when Phil just had to say something.
"You upset that you didn't have a more physical role" She turned on him and looked him in the eye.
"Why are you being an ass about this?"
"I'm trying not to be but you don't see other valets looking to be anything more then that"
"So that makes me wrong, I'm bored Phil cant you see that" Phil rolled his eyes and waved her off.
"You do whatever you want to do, but you are not a wrestler Maddie, your a valet but you want to fight so bad I'll get you a match next week" Madison balked at him, she hadn't asked for a match she just wanted him to train her, was it so much to ask that she knew how to defend herself.
"Phil that's not what I asked for"
"No, you want to fight I'm gonna get you a fight and if you survive that then we can talk" Phil walked away from her leaving her speechless, she was annoyed beyond belief Phil was acting like she wanted to take his spot or something. She knew how long it would take for her to be able to understand stuff but all she wanted was a chance.
