Chapter 16
They went to catering and Lily ate a little bit but not much. She was already getting excited. After they ate, John showed Lily around some more and introduced her to some of the Divas. She got to meet Kelly Kelly, Layla, Beth Phoenix, AJ, and Eve.
All and all, Lily was having a great time. She even got to meet Kane and Undertaker. They were scary at first. Mark aka Undertaker was really nice. He talked to her and welcomed her to the WWE and Raw. Glen aka Kane wasn't as scary as he was on TV but he still scared her.
Raw was a three hour show that night so it started at 8. Around 6, John took Lily back to the locker room so he could get ready. Randy, Ted and Cody were already there and dressed. Randy was doing his normal pre-show routine while Ted and Cody were talking quietly. John grabbed his things and went into the bathroom. When he came back out, Ted insisted on taking a picture of the two Cenas together. Time seemed to pass quickly after that and Raw started. They watched it on a monitor in their locker room. Soon it was time for Cody to head out to a match.
"Good luck Flying Squirrel!" Lily said laughing.
"Thanks Lily pad. See ya in a bit." He replied and then was out the door.
Lily watched as Cody wrestled in a match against Heath Slater. She cheered when Cody won the match. She laughed when Anna, who had accompanied her boyfriend to the ring, started getting excited and jumped into Cody's arms. Anna had so much energy.
"Alright Lils, I have to go. My match against Kane is soon. Good luck tonight." Randy said.
"Good luck Uncle Randy." Lily said while hugging him.
Now it was only Ted, John and Lily in the locker room. Soon it was time for Ted to go as well, leaving Lily and her dad. They watched the matches. Randy won and Ted lost. After a few more minutes Cody came back in to shower and change. John had to leave for his match so Lily stayed in the locker room with Cody. She was starting to get nervous. Cody came out in jeans and his Cody Rhodes t-shirt which made Lily laugh a little.
"So are you excited Lily pad?" he asked her.
"Kind of getting nervous. What if I trip over my own feet or something stupid?" she replied.
He tried to reassure her but the closer it gets to time, the more nervous she feels. She ended up in the bathroom throwing up. Cody tried to calm her but doesn't have much success. He got up and answered the door when he heard someone knocking. He invited the person in and Lily squealed when she came out of the bathroom.
"Uncle Shawn! Oh my goodness! What are you doing here?" she squeaked.
"Well, I couldn't very well miss your debut now could I?" Shawn Michaels answered.
Lilyana ran to him and wrapped her arms around him in a big hug. Shawn hugged the girl back and laughed.
"How did you know?" she asked curiously.
"That would be because I told him." Hunter said walking into the locker room.
Lily thanked him by hugging him as well. Then she turned to Shawn with a frown on her face.
"What's with the frown?" he asked.
"I think you wasted your time coming here. I don't think I can go out there." Lily told him.
"Nonsense. You will be just fine. You are a second generation wrestler and the daughter of John Cena. You were born to be in that ring little miss." Shawn told her.
Finally, Lily's nerves calmed down and she was ready to show the world what she was made of. In just about 10 minutes, she would be walking out to that ring in front of the WWE Universe with her head held high.
5 minutes later, someone knocked on the door and reminded them that Lily needed to be in the gorilla area in 5 minutes. Cody was supposed to walk her there and John would meet them.
"Shawn, Hunter would you two like to help me walk Lilyana to the gorilla area?" Cody asked them.
They both agreed and the four were off to the gorilla area. Lily was still feeling nervous but not as bad as before. When they got there, John and Randy were both waiting for her. She smiled and ran over to her dad.
"You ready Princess. Remember it will be just like we rehearsed ok?" he asked his daughter.
"I'm as ready as I will ever be Dad." She said.
There were a bunch of girls already gathered around, waiting for their names to be called. Anna was in the center of the ring with a mic in hand.
"WWE Universe, I am proud to share with you something very exciting. Mr. McMahon has given me permission to start the Lil Divas division. This group is made up of girls ages 12 to 17 years of age. Now please help me welcome them all to the WWE! I will call them out here one at a time." Anna said.
Lily listened as Anna called the girls out there. Soon it was time.
"Now for the last girl I would like someone special to come out to introduce her. So John Cena would you be a dear and come out to the ring please?" Anna said.
John's music played and he made his entrance. Anna handed him a mic and he grinned proudly. Once his music stopped he addressed the crowd.
"It is a real honor for me to introduce this last girl to you. She is someone very important to me and I know she will give it her all any time she enters this ring. She knows what the words Hustle Loyalty and Respect are all about. So, WWE Universe please join me in welcoming…My daughter…LILYANA CENA!" John announced.
His music played again and Randy had to push Lily out there at first. After the little nudge he gave her, she ran out onto the stage. The crowd was roaring. Chants of "Let's Go Cena" erupted from the audience. Lilyana made her way down to the ring and ascended the metal stairs. Just as he did in practice, John held the ropes so she could enter the ring. She climbed in and smiled at the audience. Then, she put both arms in the air in a classic Cena pose. This had the crowd cheering louder.
Lily was soaking it all in when someone behind her shoved her. She turned around and she a girl that looked to be about 14. She had blonde hair. The girl's name was Keri. Lily got mad and shoved the girl back. The crowd was cheering. After the girls shoved each other a few times, Lily looked at the girl and grabbed her dad's mic.
"Keri, if you want some, come get some." She said and dropped the mic.
Anna ran over and got between them while they were staring each other down. Anna had a plan. Once she got both girls' attention she spoke.
"How would you all like to see these girls in action in their first ever match, right here tonight?" she asked the crowd.
The crowd went wild with excitement. They loved the idea. Lily grinned at Anna and indicated that she was ready for anything. Keri just kept glaring at her. When John Laurinaitis came out and tried to object, Triple H came onto the stage with mic in hand.
"I have spoken to Vince and he agrees with me on this. There will be a Lil Divas match later tonight between Keri Jensen and Lilyana Cena. Johnny save your protests because you have no say in this matter." Hunter said and then walked out.
The girls began getting out of the ring and heading back stage, leaving Anna and John standing there with Keri and Lily who were still staring at each other. Anna grabbed Keri and pulled her out of the ring and John led Lily out. Backstage, everyone greeted Lily and told her how great she was. She just smiled and thanked them. She couldn't believe she was going to have her first match that very night.
