I slowly opened my eyes. Ted's arm was still draped around me and my head was resting on his side. I groaned and looked up at the digital clock in the elevator. It had been 4 hours. We were expected at the arena in another 4 or 5 hours. I was hoping to get a proper nap in, but it looks like I'll have to settle. Ted was still fast asleep but unlike Cody I can stand his snoring. It's actually really cute, not to mention the hilarious facial expressions he makes when he sleeps. Not that I watch him sleep or anything like that. All of a sudden aloud ringing noise interrupted my thoughts. I get up slowly, trying not to wake Ted and made my way over to the phone in the elevator.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hi Miss. I am very sorry that you got stuck in the elevator. We assure you you'll be out in no time. The engineers are restarting it now." The hotel staff assured me.
I felt a smile spread across my lips. "That's great."
"You should arrive on your desired floor within a few minutes."
"Thanks." I said hanging up the phone. I walked over to Ted and got down on my knee and shook him gently.
"Huh?" He said, waking up. He rubbed his eyes and looked at me.
"The elevator should be working in a few-" I was cut off by the elevator taking motion again. I laughed softly. "Now."
Ted stood up and cracked his neck. "Well that was an interesting way to spend my day." He teased.
I hit him in his sides. "Whatever. You know you enjoyed spending four hours with me in an elevator." I grinned.
"After the yelling, I thought it was pretty great." He stated, smirking at me.
I smiled and then the elevators opened and I saw a worried Kelly, Cody, Randy and Maryse. I picked up my bags and walked out as Ted followed.
"OMG! Are you okay?" Kelly and Maryse asked in unison. They both knew how claustrophobic I get.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said turning to Ted and smiling.
Both girls followed my gazed and smiled. "So you two are good now?" Kelly asked.
I nodded.
"Well that's good then." Maryse said, with a warm smile.
I could hear Cody approaching me, laughing. "So you stopped the elevator without thinking and then just remembered you were claustrophobic?" He said in between laughs.
I shook my head at him. "It's not funny." I said.
"It's pretty hilarious." Cody stated.
"Well I'm glad you find it amusing." I said hitting him in the back of the head. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go into a very open room that I like to call my hotel room." I said walking off.
The RAW roster was all told to go to the arena 2 hours earlier than usual, because Vince wanted to speak to the full roster. People were saying it was about some wrestlers taking drugs or something like that. Others were saying it was about a new superstar or diva. Personally I didn't really care, as long as it didn't have anything to do with me. As Kelly and I made our way into the conference room, most of the roster was already in there. I sat in between Ted and Cody while Kelly sat with Randy on the other side of Cody.
I leaned over towards Ted. "What's this about?" I asked.
Ted shrugged. "Apparently some new superstar."
"Why do we need to be here?" I asked. I wonder if they did this with me.
"You're asking the wrong person." Ted smirked at me. I rolled my eyes and sat properly in the chair.
All the superstars and divas talked among themselves a good 15 minutes before Steph and Vince made their way in front of us onto a podium. I sighed. I really hope this didn't take long, apparently my match was first and I really needed to get ready. I hadn't even had my hair or make-up done. Vince cleared his throat while Stephanie took a seat not too far from the podium.
"Thank you for joining us everyone." Vince said. "Now we've called you all here today because we are announcing that we will be welcoming a new superstar to the roster. I know just a few weeks ago we welcomed our newest Diva, Alex to the roster but this man's skill and talent was just too good to pass up." Vince announced. When he mentioned my name, he's turned in my direction. I just flashed them a fake smile. I hated when things like that happened. "So this man is very familiar with wrestling. He's been wrestling for a good 7 years. He is very young and he's talent in the ring is remarkable. I think he has a bright future in the WWE." Vince stated. "Now obviously he will be joining the RAW roster."
"When will he be debuting?" Someone asked.
"I was getting to that." Vince confirmed, looking down at them. "They will be debuting tonight. They'll be coming shortly after RAW begins. So you can all meet him then. Uh…" Vince's voice trailed off as he flipped through the papers on top of the podium.
He sounds pretty impressive. Although Vince wasn't tell us that much about him. We didn't know his name, how many title's his held, where he's trained or even where he is from. I looked at Ted and Cody's facial expression, it only read one expression: boredom. Boredom was on most of the Superstars and Diva faces. Although a few divas seemed very excited, talking amongst themselves. Obviously thinking about if he's cute or something conceited like that. I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed.
"Do we get to hear anything else?" Another superstar asked. Everybody was obviously curious, but they had better things to do. Like rub baby oil all over their bodies or something.
"Yes, yes. Hold your horses. Now he has worked and trained at one Wrestling facility which was owned by his Uncle, Atlantic City Wrestling. He has held over 8 championships in his career…" Vince's voice continued but I didn't hear a thing after that. I stiffened. My mouth formed an 'O' shape and I felt a lump forming in my throat. Ted noticed me and shook me slightly.
"You okay Alex, what's wrong?" he whispered.
"I-I… uh…" I couldn't say anything. I knew exactly who Vince was talking about.
"Alex. What's wrong?" Ted was getting worried now, I could tell.
I blinked a few times. "Ryan…" I managed to blurted out.
