So slapping Stephanie McMahon was not a part of the plan for the evening. Walking backstage I felt incredibly embarrassed I had never been so unprofessional to do something like that and I had always followed orders for a promo however the words that Stephanie had said had struck something within me and caused an automatic reaction. Expecting to be screamed at by Vince as soon as I walked through the curtain I was shocked at the clapping I was receiving from the boss himself. I had just slapped his daughter off script yet he was applauding that, turning around Stephanie came walking through the curtain smiling wide causing my confusion to strengthen.

"That was so good" She told me pulling me into a hug. Wait what? Am I missing something here? She quickly attempted to explain "I hope you don't mind me leaving you out of the plans a little bit but we were hoping for a bit of a reaction from you". This caused me to just stand staring at her. I felt like slapping her again however I just nodded before walking away to pick my stuff up from the locker room as I was no longer needed for the night I decided to head back to the hotel no longer feeling like being in the arena.

Walking into the hotel I was thankful that I was not a part of smackdown the next night and after an interview with Michael Cole would instead be heading home for a few days. I was also thankful for Nattie offering to catch a ride with someone else so I could head out early. The comment Stephanie had thrown my way in the ring was bothering me. I knew she had only said it to cause a reaction from me but I always wondered how different my life would have been if only Shane and I had still been together. Would we have been married would we have siblings for Declan?

Changing into my pjs I lay in bed watching what was left of Monday Night Raw, I turned away as my phone began ringing a number that I didn't recognise appeared on the screen I decided to answer anyway. "Hello" "Hey it's Shane, I hope you don't mind me calling" the voice on the other side informed me. "How did you get my number" "Well you never changed it and honestly I never deleted it even when I changed my phone I always made sure I had your number because there were many times that I felt like ringing you" He replied making my heart skip a beat slightly. "I just wanted to see how you were handling the whole storyline thing" he continued making me sigh loudly. "I'm not super impressed but your dad didn't really give me much of a choice it was either this or most likely disappear for a while, I wasn't about to take the risk of being taking off shows"

"My dad's an asshole when it comes to getting what he wants, he'd be a fool to take you off shows" "It wouldn't matter he's got all the younger and prettier girls who could work as many shows as he wants so they get a shot at the title" I replied making Shane scoff in response "you're beautiful you shouldn't sell yourself short. I was a fool to ever lose you." This caused me to stay silent there were so many things that I wanted to say in response, I wanted to declare my undying love at him but instead I just chose to say "I wish you had never lost me" "I regret it every single day and I wish I could take that phone call away. I always try and think what our life would be like if we were still together" He told me causing the tears that had slowly filled up in my eyes to slowly start falling down my face.

Michael Cole youtube interview

"Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to my weekly interview on and YouTube. This week I'm joined by the lovely Emma Teller, Thank you for joining me"
"Thank you for having me Michael" I replied smiling at him.
"I think we should just get straight to it and address the situation on Raw and ask why it happened, what made you come out and stand up to Stephanie McMahon"
"I think it's a pretty simple answer Michael, Stephanie was running her mouth about Shane and I'm bored of hearing it. I'm pretty sure we're all tired of hearing it, every single week we are forced to listen to that screeching voice and Stephanie believed she could get away with it because he was not in attendance however she made a mistake because I was in attendance and I was not about to let anyone run their mouths about my boyfriend, I don't care who they are"
"What were your thoughts when Shane returned last week at Raw"
"My thoughts in all honesty was finally! Finally someone who would help this company, instead of letting power get into their head. Stephanie McMahon believes she is best for business but I'm pretty sure we all know she is most certainly not! Stephanie McMahon and Triple H help the people they want and not the people that the fans want and I know that Shane wants all superstars to have their chance"
"What are you intentions heading towards wrestlemania" Michael continued asking me. After taking a moment I finally answered "my intentions are supporting my man and making sure that he is in the best shape possible for wrestlemania"
"Any final thoughts Emma" Michael asked me allowing me to have the final word of the interview staring straight at the camera a small smirk made its way on my face
"Welcome to the true queendom Stephanie and believe me when I say you'll regret every minute of it"
