The next week Teddy Long puts Austin into a match with Ashley but first she must scout her next opponent from ringside. "To what do we owe this occasion?" JBL asks when Austin takes her place beside him at the announcer's table. "I'm here to scout my next range of opposition. I'm Austin by the way." "Yea we remember from last week. I'm JBL." He says shaking her hand. "And I'm Michael Cole." He says reaching across JBL to shake her hand. "You were quite impressive." "Thank you." She replies as Kristal makes her way to the ring.
JBL spends most of his time preoccupied with Austin asking her questions as Cole struggles to commentate the match. "This isn't going to settle." Austin comments. "See how Miz helps out Kristal? That's not going to fly next week. I'm not fighting the both of them." "You can always do a four way mixed tag match." JBL comments. "True. Thank you for mentioning that JBL." She replies laying a hand on his shoulder in response. "Would you have a partner though?" he asks. Kristal puts away Layla, the second loss for her in two weeks. Austin passes a sheet of paper to JBL before standing up to leave. "Cole, JBL." She says nodding a goodbye. "Good luck tonight." Cole adds. "Thank you Cole." JBL grabs her around the wrist and when she looks to him they exchange only a silent nod between them. "Luck." He finally adds. "Thanks." Well she's certainly not your every day average Diva is she?" Cole asks. "No, she's too good to be one. That one there is a fighter." John comments.
Last match before the main event
Austin appears once again through the curtains and paces her way to the ring, a look of stone determination on her face. Ashley's about to catch it and the feeling seems to be felt throughout the arena. Austin had made her mark last week, and it's apparent that this girl isn't playing around. "What do you think of this girl JBL?" Cole asks. "I'm not really sure yet." He replies. Inside he knew what he felt but that wasn't the subject at the moment. Soon enough he wouldn't have to hide how he feels about her.
She shrugs her shoulders at JBL when their eyes lock as if to ask 'What?'. They seem to have a silent conversation between them and he finally nods yes. She smirks and gives him the thumbs up. "What's going on with the silent hand signals and stuff you two are sharing?" Cole asks. "None of your damn business Cole." JBL replies.
Much like Layla last week, Ashley is having little to no luck breaking Austin's momentum. She barley gets to hit a few moves admist Austin's fury of heavy blows nearly turning Ashley inside out. "Damn!" JBL yells after witnessing Austin mow Ashley down with a boot to the face. Austin casually covers Ashley, there's no way she'll be getting up after that one. The ref counts the 3 count and Austin leaves the ring with a undefeated streak started. "You know Cole, I think I like this girl." JBL comments.
