The next week on Raw
About half way through the night it was time for Dolph and I's next scene.
I was just finishing a conversation with Natalya back stage while getting a drink at catering.
"Bye Kelsey, I will see you later!" she said walking away. I turned around only to find my self face to face with Dolph.
"I guess a congratulations is in order," he said gesturing to the title on my shoulder.
"Damn right, I am the Divas Champion." I said boldly with a smile.
"I have to say it looks mighty good on you."
"Finally, something we agree on."
"I do know of something that would look even better on you," he said flirtatiously.
"And what is that?" His face broke out into a huge grin.
"Me." He winked.
"You are such a perv!" I scoffed, throwing my drink at his face before storming off.
Cut. I returned to Dolph laughing. He was wiping off his face. The camera man and the crew began to disband.
"You look so refreshed!" I joked.
"Did you have to put ice cubes in it? You knew you were going to be throwing it in my face!"
"Yep, I wanted it to be realistic," I said giggling.
"You are lucky I owe you like a million favors!"
"Or what?"
"Or I would get you back, Blondie!"
"Pfft I doubt it. Especially because you don't have the time. You better go get ready for your match pretty boy!" I teased.
"Haha very funny." He looked at the clock. "Oh shit, I do need to get ready."
"Told you!" I yelled as he ran off.
Tonight saw Dolph facing off against Santino Marella. Zack however, was up against Jack Swagger one-on-one. This match was supposed to be Zack's shot to prove he has what it takes to be a contender for the United States Championship.
We burst from the curtain enthusiastically in our purple outfits. The crowd cheered wildly, it was such a great feeling to get such support from the fans. For some reason, our careers had reached new heights as an on-screen couple. The fans loved us. We made our way down the ramp. Woo! Woo! Woo! We sauntered down to the ring, I was having fun showing off my new title. Our little celebration ended when Jack Swagger's music started. I exited the ring and decided to join King and Cole at the announcers table.
"Look Cole, we are being joined by the new Divas Champion, Kelsey Ryder!" King said excitedly.
"Oh great, you get way too excited by the divas," Cole fired off rudely.
"What Cole? I love puppies! But let's give our Diva's champion a little more respect."
"Thanks King, I'm glad to be here," I said cheerily.
"So how does it feel to be the new champ, Kelsey?"
"Well, Jerry, surreal. That's the only word I can think of to describe it. I really haven't been with the WWE very long so it was a surprise to get such a privilege so early in my career."
"How does your loser husband Zack Ryder feel about your success," Cole asked.
"My wonderful husband is very happy for me and is supportive of what I do. You just watch Cole, he will win that United States Championship." He rolled his eyes.
"So the Ryder's are aiming to be the new golden couple here in the WWE?" King asked.
"As my husband would say Woo Woo Woo, You know it!" I said laughing. "We are young, talented, and on the rise. You better believe that we will be reigning champions together very soon."
"Well we'll just see about that, your husband is getting destroyed in the ring."
"He will take back this match. You just watch, dick!" I spat. It was perfect timing as Zack managed to counter Swaggers submission. He kicked him in the gut. Zack seized his opportunity to land the rough ryder. 1...2...3. "Yes! You see Cole, he is more than capable and deserving of being a champion again. It was nice talking to you King." I shook his hand and slid into the ring.
Zack gave me a giant hug. Woo! Woo! Woo! The crowd was ecstatic. We began making our exit. We were most of the way up the ramp when we turned to face the ring to watch Jack Swagger's angry face. Out of no where, Zack went flying to the ground. I turned to face Dolph Ziggler, a chair in hand, slowly walking backward up the ramp, he smiled and turned around. I set my title down by Zack and marched after to him. I caught up, yanked his shoulder to make him face me, and slapped him in the face. He just stared a me with that devilish grin of his and a hand covering his slapped cheek. I kicked him in the walnuts. With Dolph writhing on the ramp, I turned and tended to Zack. I helped him up and walked him backstage. Once again, the crowd ate it up.
Back at the hotel, I finished settling in and found myself a little restless. I grabbed my purse and my room key and headed to the lobby before making my way up to Dolph's room. I knocked.
"Hey Blondie," he said meekly. He was holding ice to his family jewels.
"Hey Dolph, sorry about your nards." I said stifling a laugh.
"It's not funny!"
"I know, but to be fair, you didn't fake the move right. Your legs weren't in the right place. I didn't mean to hurt 'em!"
"I know but damn, maybe you missed your calling as a football kicker." I smiled.
"I guess so. I still do feel pretty bad so I brought you a present." I reached into my purse and pulled out a package. I handed it too him. He unwrapped it and laughed.
"A Kelsey Ryder action figure! You got your own figurines! Congrats. It looks just like you, ya know if you were reeeeealllly small."
"Thank you, they literally just came out. So naturally, I bought like six of them. I figured if anybody I wasn't related to wanted one, it would be you."
"I'm so glad I have one! I didn't know yours was coming out so soon. I did buy a lot of my own when mine came out. But I will treasure this forever! I will put it next to my Dolph Ziggler's when I go home next." He cut it out of the package and sat it on the nightstand. I smiled at him.
"Just make sure they treat her like a lady!" We both burst with laughter. "Oh, and I did bring you another gift…." I reached in my bag again, "tequila!" A huge smile crossed his face. "I figured you could use a little pain reliever for your nether regions They had a rough night."
"You are just so thoughtful!" he said laughing as I started pouring the shots.
"Cheers!" We each tossed back a few shots.
"So Blondie, before I forget, I booked our hotel and flights for my cousin's wedding."
"Oh yeah! That is going to be so fun! Where are we going again?" I poured more shots.
"California, so we also get to work on our tans!" We knocked back shots.
"Perfect, I'm getting sick of spray tanning."
"Yeah, it gets old fast, but its much better for my skin."
"God, you are such a chick sometimes." We threw back another shot.
"Hey! I am not! I'm just well maintained."
"Oh okay, whatever you say, Pretty boy!"
"Jeeze, now I know you have been spending wayyy to much time with Zack. He is the only one that insists on calling me pretty boy, like it's an insult to look this awesome." He said jokingly.
"Pfft, I don't spend extra time with him, just work related events!" I argued. We took more shots.
"You lie! You have been on his True Long Island Story youtube show like every week for like a month. That isn't in your mandatory job description!"
"He thought it would be a good idea since it would help show us as a couple. I'm supposed to be his wife on tv so it makes sense that I would be a part of his show online. The fans seem to like it too. It's good for our brands as wrestlers."
"You know he came up with that as an excuse to spend time with you outside of work."
"It sounded more like business to me," I said with a shrug.
"Oh bullshit. Why do you think he hates me being around you? He wants you to himself, he sees me as a threat."
"Well what's the problem with me hanging out with him and getting along? We have been married for six years, I have known him for ten. It's nice not to be fighting."
"But shouldn't you duke it out? I mean there has to be unresolved issues there, I mean god Kelsey, he waited until you went to sleep and left. All he left was a note. How can you just get along with someone after that?" I had to admit he made a lot of good points there.
"I know. I just…I don't want to fight. It's easier to get along for the show as long as we are working together. Once I don't have to work side by side with him, I would be more willing to bring that shit up. I mean the reason I came to the WWE the night I got discovered was because I came to ask him for a divorce. I had the papers and everything, all it needed were our signatures and a witness. I was so ready for that part of my life to be over. I never thought that we would ever get along again let alone almost be friends."
"I know and I'm sorry, Kelsey. I can't judge or tell you what to do, I'm not in your shoes. I really didn't mean for that to come off like I'm mad or lecturing you." He sighed. "You are just really important to me and I don't want you to get hurt again. I just want to protect you from all of that. To protect you from him."
"I know Dolph. I understand completely. I'm glad I have you looking out for me." I gave him a giant hug. "Now stop being a wuss and do more shots!"
"Challenge accepted! I refuse to be called a wuss by a woman!" I smiled at him deviously.
"But I'm one hell of a woman!" I said with a wink.
"That you are Blondie. One of a kind." We slammed more shots. Our heads were definitely getting fuzzy. We goofed around for awhile. Then I got an awesome idea.
"I know what we should do!"
"What?"
"Let's go swimming!" I said excitedly. He looked less than thrilled by the idea.
"I don't have a swim suit with me."
"I don't either, lets go." I jumped up and walked towards the door. He hesitantly followed me. He knew that I got into trouble on my own.
We walked stealthily down the hallway and downstairs to the lobby. We were pretty intoxicated at that point and were walking pretty wobbly. We finally found the door to the pool.
"Dammit! It's locked!" I pouted. Dolph looked a little relieved.
"That's okay Kels, we can just go back upstairs." He put an arm around me stabilizing both of us simultaneously as we walked. As we passed through the lobby, a group of girls were eying up Dolph.
"Hey hot stuff, wanna party?" A tall brunette cooed flirtingly.
"No thanks."
"Aww come on!" Her friend called out.
"I've got all I need tonight right here!" He said pointing to me. "Goodnight ladies." I laughed and waved. We continued to journey to his room. The event in the lobby kind of stuck in my mind.
"Why don't you have a girl friend Dolph?" I asked drunkenly.
"Why don't you have a boyfriend?" He fired back with a smile.
"I have a husband, an ex-fiancé, and you for a best friend, I think that's all I can handle for right now," I said laughing.
"Touché Blondie, touché."
"So what's your excuse?" I said pressingly.
"I don't have one. Plus, you're all the girl I need!" He winked.
The rest of the night was a blur.
