Coming back from commercial, it was decided to do some promos. Parker had finished getting changed. All she really did was tape her wrists. She sat in a steel chair in front of Christian. "So...you want to call you Christian, or what?"
"'Jay' will be just fine. Do you have any name you like to be called?" The current InterContinental Champion asked.
"I'll stick with 'Parker'."
"I always thought that was a boy's name. I know it's a last name, but I didn't know it could be a first name."
Parker smirked. "I used to be called 'The Girl With Two Last Names' since Ricky Bobby was the guy with two first names." Both of them chuckled. "So what should our promo be?"
"I'm thinkin' the whole 'teenage-crush' kinda thing. You know, you crushed on me when you were younger and now you're my rookie. It'll be very funny for the fans." Jay had his signature smile when he finished.
You have no idea how true that is, sweetheart. Parker was screaming on the inside. "I like that idea." She said.
"So, what's with the cargoes?"
"When I was a kid, my brothers always wore them. And for Christmas, each of them bought me a pair. Since then, I only shop at Hot Topic and Spencer's." She explained. "The only other woman I can remember that wore cargoes is Lita. I figured I should bring back that kind of fashion image. Plus, these ones were custom made for wrestling." Parker smirked. "So you think we should wing it?"
"I think that'll work." Both wrestlers walked out toward the interview spot. Josh Matthews stood there and smiled when he saw them
"Hey, guys. You ready for your first promo, Parker?"
"You bet, Josh." And with that, they started.
"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce one of the competetors in the Battle Royal, accompanied by her pro, Christian, the lovely Parker Maddison." Parker came into view with Christian right next to her. She had the school girl grin on, and was bouncing in excitement. "Parker, you are the only woman in this season of NXT. You have to tell us, how does that make you feel?"
"I feel honored, to be honest. People have always said that I'm too agressive to fight women. So this is a great alternative." She answered.
"I see. Can you tell us who your favorite Superstar is?" Josh asked.
Parker's grin widened. "He's standing right next to me, Josh. It's a total honor to have a man as experienced as Christian. He's done it all in this industry, and now he's gonna teach me. Plus, look at that smile. That's total a bonus!" Everyone "ooh'd" to that answer.
"Is there any woman in this industry you believe could be a great tag partner that maybe you could teach to face men?" Josh asked.
"Well, there is one girl. AJ's got great potential."
"Wait. AJ? The crazy chick?" Christian interrupted.
"Yeah. C'mon, man. Think about it. She's original. She's got a great personality, both in and out of the ring. And she has looked into the eyes of the Big Red Monster and didn't show any fear. Hell, she skipped around him, jumped into his arms, and kissed him. And she's not crazy." Parker looked at the floor briefly then back at Christian. "She's just more open minded than others."
"I take it you were called crazy a few times, Parker?" The interviewer guessed.
"Sadly, yes. I might look like this cool tom boy, but I was bullied as a kid. I told my brothers and they protected me until I learned to defend myself. So, by the time I got to junior high, I was respected as both a person and a woman." Parker explained. But everyone booed when someone walked up behind her. Turning around, Parker flinched when she saw it was Daniel Bryan. "AHH! That goatface is even uglier in person." The Universe laughed.
"Oh, you think you're real special, don't you," Daniel then leaned in close to her face as he seethed the next word. "Rookie."
Parker looked between Josh and Christian. "Okay, I did this when I tried out to be a cheerleader, even though they told me I could never be one. Dumb bitches. Let's see if I remember the words...
'Brick Wall/Waterfall
Daniel Think He Got It All
But He Don't/ And I Do
So Boom With Yo' Atttitude
Peace/ Punch/ Cap'n Crunch
I Got Something You Can't Touch
Bang Bang/ Choo Choo Train
Watch Me Now Just Do My Thing
Reece's Pieces/ Buttercup
Mess With Me/ I'll Mess You Up'"
The Universe exploded with cheers and laughter. Even Josh and Christian cracked a smile. Parker then smirked as she spoke. "Pick up a knife and fork, baby, 'cause you just got served." And with that, Parker and Christian left and the promo ended.
"You think I did alright?" She asked.
"Are you kidding? Did you see the look on Daniel's face? Josh always has to keep a straight face and even he smiled. Now it's time for your match."
Parker was so excited. It was time to prove herself. The one thing she always made up for when having difficulty in a match was to be the one to bring comic relief. She hoped to bring a lot of comic relief.
"Welcome back to NXT. Tonight, our rookies are going to be in a Battle Royal. The winner will take Michael Cole's place on commentary for a week. Now, let the rookies come out and ring the bell."
All the rookies walked out and stepped into the ring. once all eight were there, the bell rang.
Jackson decided to be an idiot and went to grab Parker. She bent backwards, doing what Jerry Lawler would call a Matrix. That initiated the the match. Everyone went to grab someone and throw them out. of the ring. But two rookies knew how the game was played. They both slid under the bottom rope and waited outside the ring. Parker and Chimo. They decided to talk to each other. They watched the other guys fighting, and the first to be eliminated was Jackson.
Parker ran to the side where Jackson was thrown. She stood next to him and laughed. Jackson didn't find it funny at all. He stood and started yelling at her. It was hard to hear exactly what was said, but one word was heard. "BITCH!" Jackson yelled. Parker's cheerful expression vanished and was replaced with rage. She grabbed his arm and Irish Whipped him into the barracade. Everyone on the other side jumped back.
Jackson tried to stand, but Parker yanked him up and set him up for a Suplex. Once his arm was over her shoulder, she pulled him up and threw him over her head. When she was finished, she spat on him and walked away.
Chimo warrily looked at the young woman before she waved her hands as in telling him she wouldn't do anything to him. They both went back to talking. They noticed Joshua climbing up one of the turnbuckles. Turning to each other, they played Rock/Paper/Scissors. Parker got Paper and Chimo got Scissors. Chimo silently cheered whereas Parker pouted. With that done, Chimo waited for Joshua to fully climb up the turnbuckle before leaping onto the ropes and pulling him down. Getting him to stand on th apron, he wrapped his arms around the Californian and jumped onto the ground. Being eliminated, Joshua was mad and walked up the ramp to stand next to Zack.
Parker saw an opportunity to eliminate Holata. The others were trying to push him over the rope. Since he was the biggest rookie, it was hard, even with three others trying to push him over. She knew that if she got his legs up, the others would push him over a lot more easily. She ran up and fro the outside of the ring, she pushed his legs up, giving the others an advantage. Kake, Steven and Ayres lifted Holata over the rope and pushed him off the ring.
The three in the ring looked at each other and didn't know who to throw out next. Steven made the mistake of standing to close to the ropes. Both Kale and Ayres Double Clothes Lined the Australian over the rope, crashing to the ground. Sadly, Kale stayed next to the ropes to gloat. Ayres took advantage of that and Drop Kicked him over the ropes.
Chimo and Parker slid back into the ring and faced Ayres. They decided to do what he and Kale did and Double Clothes Lined him. It surprisingly worked. Now the last two faced each other. Chimo ran over and picked Parker up, bridal style. He walked over to the ropes and dropped her over, thinking she landed on the ground. She still held on to the ropes and pulled herself up onto the apron. Once standing, she whistled. When Chimo turned around, he looked shocked. So, he charged. When he was close enough, Parker grabbed his arm and pulled him over the rope. She pulled him hard enough to send him onto the ground. The bell rang, showing Parker's victory.
"Alright, Parker. You're the winner of the Battle Royal!" The Universe exploaded. Everyone went nuts over the young girl. "You get to replace Michael Cole on SmackDown! and RAW. Congradulations."
Christian walked down the ramp and slid into the ring, huggiong his rookie. Parker's eyes widened from the physical contact. Chills ran over her skin. She kept telling her self how it was only because of her teenage crush ove him. But she wasn't very convincing.
"In two weeks, we will have our first elimination. So, keep watching and get ready to vote. Until then, I'm Matt Striker and the is NXT." And with that, the show ended.
