It's time for the Smackdown taping, and we're in the car, running late. I've phoned Hunter but got no reply. I groan and find the number for Michelle. She answers on the first ring. "I've been waiting for your call Ambrose" she laughs. "What's up?" "Running late" I groan. "Destiny threw up literally everywhere as we were ready to leave. But we're nearly there." "Quit with the worrying" she says, calming me instantly. "Hunter has already moved Layla's match to later in the show. You've got plenty of time. Tell Dean not to rush. His match is set for the main event." "Who?" I ask, already knowing the answer. "Randy" she says. "Making it some kind of revenge for you moving his foot, using Dean to get to you." "Ok" I say, looking at Dean. "We're nearly there, see you in a few." I hang up and look at Dean. "What?" he asks. "You've got Randy tonight" I say. He nods. "Kinda guessed that doll" he says. "Revenge for last night, right?" I nod. He grins. "It's ok" he says covering my hand with his. He pulls into the arena car park and shuts the engine off. We get out of the car quickly and grab the bags. I grab the car seat and we rush in to the arena.
"Nice of you to turn up Ambrose" Hunter says as we get to the locker room. "Hunter, I..." I start, and he grins. "Relax Torrie" he says. "Michelle already explained it to me. How is she?" "She seems to be ok" I say. "No more sick, so that's good." He nods. "Go get ready" he says. "Street clothes for the run in." "Ok" I say, looking down at what I'm wearing. "Keep the jeans" he says. "Sandra has customised a Shield shirt for you." I smile. "Thanks Hunter" I say and head in to the locker room. Tracey quickly takes Destiny from me and I run to wardrobe. "Was beginning to think you weren't coming" Sandra says smiling at me. "Me too" I admit. "Destiny threw up everywhere just as we were leaving." "She ok?" she asks straight away. I nod and she smiles. "That's babies for you Torrie" she says hugging me. "Bring her to see her auntie Sandra later." I nod and thank her for the top before heading back to the guys. I kiss Dean as I run past him straight to my bag. "Hairbrush hairbrush hairbrush" I groan pulling everything out. "Woah Tor" Dean says taking the bag from me. "Chill. You get changed, I'll find your brush." "Awwww teamwork" Seth chuckles. I grin and pull my top off, spraying deodorant everywhere before pulling the top from Sandra on. "Eyes front and centre Rollins" Dean growls and everyone laughs. Dean hands me my brush and I pull my hair up into a messy bun. "Ro is gonna walk you to gorilla" Dean says kissing me. "I think one of us should stay with Dessie for a bit, make sure she's ok." I nod and kiss him. "Love you" he whispers, his forehead resting on mine. "Love you too" I say before heading out with Roman.
Michelle is roaming the corridor. "Just the person I've been looking for" she says spotting us. "Oh, um, hi, um..." "Roman" he says holding his hand out. "Roman" I say. This is Michelle. Hunters PA." "Ah" he says smiling. "You're the new pain in the ass. Good meeting you. Now I feel sorry for you." "You do?" she asks warily. "Sure" he says. "Now Hunter has managed to find someone for Torrie to rant at instead of him. You two are gonna be seeing a lot of each other." Michelle groans. "Thanks for that" she says sarcastically. I smile. "Nah don't worry" I say. "Hunter will still get both barrels. I kinda like you more than him." Roman laughs. "So what were you looking for me for?" I ask. "Ah yeah" she says handing me a script. "Do not let this out of your sight. This is yours for Dean's match. Top secret. I don't even know what it says." "Oh 'Chelle" I groan. "I'm just headed to the ring. Can you hold on to it? I'll find you as soon as I'm back here." "Of course" she says smiling. "I'd better go before his Lordship calls me." We laugh as her phone rings. Hunter. "Too late" she groans, waving as she walks down the corridor. "Just a warning baby girl" he says kissing me. "Randy is gonna cut a promo saying how he wants Ambrose tonight, and as he can't have the one he wants, he's gonna settle for Dean. He's gonna come out and do it after this match, so you'll still be ringside. Hunter wants you to react." "No problem" I say kissing him back. We watch on the screen as Layla and Naomi lock up. "You know what you gotta do" he says. I nod, take a deep breath and head down the ramp.
The boos are phenomenal. I smirk as I make my way to the ring. Layla watches me warily. "Carry on" I say. "Don't mind me." She's yanked backwards by her hair and Naomi grins at me. "Come on Layla!" I yell. "Fight back!" She frowns at me and Naomi catches her by surprise again. "Fight Layla!" I yell, banging on the apron. She's on the mat, slowly getting to her knees. It's time. I slide under the bottom rope and hit her with a curb stomp. The ref calls for the bell as Naomi slides under the rope. The crowd boos me as I smirk over Layla's prone figure. Randy's music hits and Layla is helped out of the ring as he walks down to me. "Torrie Ambrose" he drawls as he climbs the steps and gets in the ring. "Fancy seeing you here. Oh wait, it was Layla's match, of course you're gonna be here. Seems to me like you only turn up to matches you want to interfere in. Looking after number one?" I take the microphone Lilian hands me through the ropes and smile at him. "Randal Orton" I drawl back to him. "Fancy seeing you here. Oh wait, you'll be anywhere I am to try and intimidate me. Well, keep trying kiddo. I'm not scared of you." "Well you should be" he growls. "Last Monday on Raw, you cost me the match against Reigns. Tonight, I'm gonna get my revenge for that. But, as you're a girl, I can't get my revenge on you. So I'm gonna get the next best thing. Your beloved Dean." I shake my head. "You wanna fight me Randal?" I ask. "You really wanna fight me? You wanna get revenge, take it out on me. Dean had nothing to do with it. It was all me." He smirks. "Maybe you should think twice about getting involved in my matches then, eh Torrie?" he says softly. "Hunter! Hunter! Get out here!" Hunters music hits and he walks to the ring quickly. "What's going on here?" he asks, getting between us. "I want Ambrose" Randy growls. Hunter nods. "I can allow that" he finally says. "No!" I yell. "His problem is with me, not Dean." Hunter nods. "Unfortunately Torrie" He says. "Randy can't fight you. Main event tonight. Randy Orton versus Dean Ambrose." Randy smirks at me as his music plays. I shake my head and go to get out of the ring. "Torrie" Randy calls. I pause mid way through the ropes and look at him. "I promise I won't hurt him too badly" he smirks. I get back in the ring and slap him across the face before getting out and heading backstage.
