Part Two

Eve reached down, immediately grabbing at the divas' title that was in her bag, pulling it out and bringing it up to rest over her shoulder. "What about the division? What about the divas' title?" she managed to ask, and she knew from the looks on most of the other women's faces that they had the same question, the same worry. If Teddy Long's bright idea was to just scrap the division and make them all managers... Oh, yeah. He might not get out of the locker room alive.

"Now, now, girls. Calm down-"

"Women. Or ladies. We're fully grown adults, not little girls," Tamina stated, a warning edge to her tone as she spoke, the woman glaring daggers at Booker T's senior advisor. Eve was pretty sure the man actually gulped when he looked over at her. Perhaps he was realizing just how many of the women in this locker room could toss him around or twist him into a pretzel. Eve was certain that she could make him tap, and she figured that Natalya could easily do that, too... And both Kaitlyn and Tamina could probably throw him around pretty viciously if they wanted to. And implying that the division might be going away? That could make a lot of the women want to beat him up.

Teddy cleared his throat a little nervously, then pasted that annoying smile on his face again, once more looking like it was Christmas and he was Santa Claus gifting them with some amazing gift. "Okay, ladies. My bad. But you do need to calm down. The division isn't going anywhere. There's still a title, and there's still going to be matches for you, but not all of you are going to have matches every week, so you're going to be a manager as well."

"What about me?" Rosa questioned. "I already manage Epico and Primo, and I am perfectly happy there. I'll stay with them, right?"

"Yes, yes, of course. Any of you that is already walking out with someone will continue to do so. Rosa will remain with Epico and Primo, Naomi and Cameron will remain with Brodus Clay, Natalya will remain with the Great Khali and Hornswoggle. AJ will remain with Dolph and Big E Langston," the man stated, and Eve was pretty sure that she heard Kaitlyn snort at that.

"Until she tosses him off a high place and skips off with someone else," the woman muttered, and Eve had to fight the urge to smirk at that because it was pretty damn accurate. AJ had made a habit of shoving guys off turnbuckles or ladders or... something. Seriously, the girl had a really bad dating history and, to be quite honest, Eve wasn't sure dating was the right word for some of it. It seemed that, at least in a couple of cases, it had more been AJ pursuing the guys and them humoring her until her neediness got to be too much for them to deal with.

AJ sent Kaitlyn a withering look. "Dolph and I are forever."

"We'll remind you of that statement this summer, when you've gone through three other guys and don't even remember Dolph's name any longer," Eve stated briskly, ignoring the surprised look from Kaitlyn at that, as well as the glare from AJ, the current divas' champion instead looking straight at Teddy Long. "How long do we have?" she wanted to know, and he sent her a confused look... Which, unfortunately, Eve thought was pretty much his natural expression.

"I'm not sure I understand what you're asking."

"You're telling us that we have to be managers. There are several of us that don't have any current affiliation to any of the male superstars," the woman said, glancing around the room as she spoke, gesturing to indicate the other divas. Kaitlyn, Layla, Alicia, Tamina, Aksana... her. "That means that there are still several of us that have to find someone to manage. I'm simply asking how long we have to find someone. You said this managing thing starts next week. Is that the deadline for us to find someone? And what happens if we need more time?" Eve wanted to know, noting out of the corner of her eye that Layla and Alicia were both nodding in agreement with her words. Clearly, they had the same concerns that she did.

Teddy cleared his throat again, looking a little nervous as he shot a look toward Tamina - clearly, she was the diva he was most concerned about for some reason; maybe because unlike most of the rest of the women, who were keeping their expressions polite, Tamina looked a few seconds from going after him. "Well, see, that's where you're a little confused-"

"If she's confused, then so are the rest of us. How long do we have to find someone to manage? And what happens if we can't? It's a big decision, both for us, and for the man we start to manage," Layla declared, and Teddy adjusted the tie he wore before speaking again.

"Well it seems that there is some confusion, because you all seem to think that you have to find someone to manage," he said, then sent them all a bright look like he was about to bestow some great gift on them. Eve half-expected the man to tell them not to worry their pretty little heads or something condescending like that. "You see, girls-"

"Ladies," Alicia corrected him in a near-growl, clearly getting frustrated, but Teddy ignored her.

"Seeing as this was my idea, I've already got everything put together. You don't have to find someone to manage, because I've already chosen somebody for you."

"And they agreed to this? Or are they as in the dark about it as we are?" Kaitlyn wanted to know, the Houston native looking offended by the fact that Teddy had taken it upon himself to choose who they would manage... And probably more offended by the idea that Teddy may have consulted the men in question but was just assigning them without any regard to what they might want. Eve figured it was about damn time that the other divas' realized how much of a chauvinistic pig Teddy Long could be.

"Well, to be honest, it's a bit of a surprise for them, too. But that's part of the excitement. Neither of you will know until it's announced. Which it will be... Tonight, live on RAW. Next week on RAW is when you'll start to manage them," he said, giving them all a winning smile. "Now... Any questions?"

"How fast do you think you can get out of this room?" Tamina asked, and Teddy gave her a confused look.

"Why do you ask that?"

"Because if you don't get the hell out of here, I'm going to beat the crap out of you," the woman said, rising to her feet as she spoke, her hands curling into fists.

It turned out that Teddy Long could move faster than any of them expected him to.
