Quitters
Sometimes, we need to discuss things that might turn the argument really ugly...
Monday Night RAW
Two Weeks Until Survivor Series
Liverpool, England
When you are in the WWE, every job is difficult. I believe it was safe to say that there was no such thing as an easy job and that every job was difficult in its own way. Especially, when you are a backstage interviewer like Renee Paquette; not only did she had to look presentable, but she had to make sure that she did not fumble her words or everyone will be able to pick that up and she will be the laughing stock in the WWE. It has been a week since Daphne Consuelos was kick out of Phil and April Brooks Chicago home and her personal asshole, Jonathan Good had offered her a temporary place to stay, until she actually found a place that she would consider home, but there was a problem—Daphne felt like she needed to ask Renee's permission to move in with her boyfriend, knowing that Renee and Jon had been going out for a while and things are getting serious for the two of them. The last thing that Daphne want to do was strain her best friend's relationship with her boyfriend because Jon asked Daphne to move in with her over his girlfriend.
"Ladies and Gentleman, Daphne Anne!" Renee Young said as the WWE Universe gave a mixed reaction when Daphne walked into the interview shot, "Now Daphne, last week you added the stipulation that if AJ Lee were to lose the Divas Championship that she would also lose her career. Do you think that the odds are now in your favor, now that this stipulation has been added?" she asked as she placed the microphone near Daphne, who smirked.
"Renee, the odds were already in my favor without that stipulation and AJ knew that. I could have defeated her and taken the Divas Championship, but I do not like AJ Lee and I wanted her to feel how I felt to have everything taken away from me. Now at Survivor Series, she will know how I felt. She will not only lose her Divas title, but her career as well. You are looking at the new Divas Champion and once I win that title, I will solidify my place as one of the best female wrestlers to every grace the WWE Divas Division. Forget Natalya, Paige and Emma or even Charlotte because I am like NXT and I am taking over!" she exclaimed as Daphne left the camera shot. Then, the segment ended as Daphne and Renee approached each other and gave each other a hug.
"You did so fantastic!" Renee praised her best friend, "I am so glad that you're back. I have missed you like hell. I could see why you did it, but I am just glad that my best friend is back and I am secretly rooting for you at Survivor Series. Well, it's no longer a secret, but I think that you get the idea." she joked as she straightened Daphne's jet black hair.
Daphne giggled, "Yeah, we have been friends for a long time and I know that we will do anything for one another, but I need to tell you something," she informed Renee, who could tell from Daphne's emotions that it was something serious, "Look, you know that April kicked me out of her home and that I have been living in a hotel for the past week and I know that we are in the road so much that we do not get time in our own homes, but Jon has offered me a place to stay at his home in Las Vegas, but I wanted to ask you about if because I do not want to accept his offer if you do not want me to. I do not want to cause a strain in your guys' relationship or for you to take it as a slap to your face that I am moving into his home and you're not."
"Daph, I told Jon to offer you a place to stay!" Renee beamed as Daphne's blue eyes widened in confusion. Renee asked him to offer her a place to stay? Renee was the one that put him up to it? "I knew the last thing that you wanted to do was bunk with me in my pigpen and I knew that Jon had a clean home, so I asked him to offer you a place to stay. Look, I am not going to get jealous. I only want to move in with Jon the minute that we're engaged. As of right now, you need a place to stay and you can stay with Jon, if you want to. I just hope that the two of you do not kill each other, but I think you might to ask Colby for permission. He normally can get offended with these things." Renee pointed out as Daphne sighed, knowing that if she were to talk to Colby about this that it might turn to be such an ugly argument.
Daphne groaned. The thing that she did not want to do was ask Colby about moving in with Jon knowing that he could be a bit of a hard ass. Also, she had that fear that Colby might be offended that she didn't ask to move in with him, but one of his best friends, whom she did not even get along with; however, Daphne felt like it was not the right time to move in with Colby, perhaps when their relationship got a little more serious, then she will take it under consideration, but as of right now, she needs a place to stay and Renee had asked Jon to offer her a place. Who was she to decline? "I am going to hate talking to Colby about this, but I feel like it is a discussion that we need to talk about, but," she looked at her iPhone and noticed that it was almost time for her to go out there and wrestle. She was going to be facing Trinity or Naomi tonight, while AJ was in commentary, "I have a match to get to. Thank you for not being rude, Renee. It means the world to me." she gave her friend another hug, before she went to the gorilla.
Naomi went on the top rope and connect with a diving crossbody at Daphne, who was trying to block it. She went for a cover as Daphne kicked out at two. Meanwhile near JBL, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler, Divas Champion AJ Lee sat next to them, "So AJ, you and Daphne are going to face each other in two weeks at Survivor Series," Michael began as AJ was focused on the match, "Are you feeling confident approaching the match? The last time that the two of you face, it was ruled a no contest. Do you have that fact lingering in your mind?"
"Here is the thing, Cole. I may have not defeated Daphne at Hell in a Cell, but Daphne cannot handle when there is a huge opportunity. She is someone that always cracks under the pressure and that is her greatest weakness. When the stakes are high, she breaks down and she exposes all of that emotion. You see, I know what Daphne Anne is all about. I have wrestled her and she is good, but I am better than her." AJ claimed as Daphne delivered a big kick to Naomi, who wanted to elbow her in the face. Daphne situated herself on the top rope as she grabbed Naomi by the hair and connected with a superplex. The two Divas were on the floor as Daphne slowly went for the cover, but Naomi kicked out in two in a half.
"Daphne has said that she wants you to feel what she felt," Jerry pointed out, while AJ scuffed as Daphne and Naomi got up with Daphne delivering a sharp kick to Naomi's stomach, "Damn, if Daphne felt what Naomi is feeling now, then I think that you should reconsider things." he added on, while Daphne connected with a side Russian leg sweep, before going for another cover, but Naomi kicks out quickly. AJ looked a little concern about how Daphne was dominating the match, but she was not going to let that emotion be exposed.
"I am not afraid of Daphne Anne. I am not afraid of what she is all about. Meanwhile, she has been playing the role of Dr. Phil between identical twins that have bigger baggage than Nikki Bella's implants, I have been trying to be the best Divas Champion in WWE history—something that Daphne will never be in her entire life," AJ said as Naomi was finally gaining back control, which made the Divas Champion smirk. Naomi connected with a rear view, making Daphne fall back hard. Then, Daphne attempted to get up, but Naomi delivered a series of dropkicks, before connecting with a hurricanrana. Naomi then grabbed Daphne and connected with her finisher, which was a modified falling inverted DDT as she went for the cover, but Daphne kicked out in two and a half, making Naomi shocked.
"Daphne Anne kicked out! You got to admire her guts and determination! Wow! Got to love it, Michael!" JBL was the loudest that he had been all match long as AJ too her headset off as she looked impressed, but worried about what to expect as Naomi was about to go for Slaymission, but Daphne countered with the Bitch Lock, her heel hook as Naomi was trapped in the center of the ring. Naomi tried to reach for the rope, but Daphne had a tight grip on her, so she had no other choice, but to tap out as "Sellouts" blasted in victory.
"The winner of this match: Daphne Anne!" Lilian Garcia exclaimed as Daphne got her arm raised in victory as she made sure to look at AJ, making the title gesture near her waist. AJ was ringside and that was when she really knew that she was going to fight the woman that would not give up in this match. A woman that was out for her blood, but AJ was not going to count herself out. She was going to give her match at Survivor Series everything that she had.
Backstage, Daphne searched for her boyfriend, Colby Lopez because she needed to have an important conversation with him. She had a feeling in the back of her mind that the conversation was not going to end well, but it was better than him finding out on his own. This conversation could be like a bandage and she could just rip it and handle everything all at once. At last, she found Colby talking to James Gibson, who was known as Jamie Noble and Adam Birch, who was known as Joey Mercury and together, the two of them were known as J & J Security—Seth Rollins' personal bodyguards, while in The Authority. She approached the three of them with a smile on her face, "Gentlemen," she greeted Adam and James and then looked at Colby, "Rejected Power Ranger," she joked with her boyfriend as she went into his arms to hug him as Colby kissed the top of his head, "I hope that the two of you don't mind, but I would love to talk to my boyfriend."
"Of course, take all the time that you need." James nodded, while he and Adam escorted themselves out of the way, so that Daphne would be able to have the conversation with Colby. Colby raised a brow at his girlfriend, wondering if there was anything wrong with her. Was she deciding to quit the WWE? Ever since SummerSlam, his girlfriend was unpredictable to him; there was not telling what was going on in her mind.
"What's up with you?" Colby asked as she gave a small smile.
"Look, you know how I have been living at hotels for the past week. Well, Renee asked Jon to offer me a place to stay for a little while, until I have a place to stay and I am thinking about accepting it, but I want to know that everything is going to be cool between the two of us and I do not want any resentment if I accept Jon's offer. I know that I hate Jon with a freaking passion, but his heart is at the right place with this. If it makes you feel better, we are never at home and always on the road, so there will almost never be me bunking with Assbrose." Daphne explained as Colby let all the information sink into his brain.
"I got to be honest with you—I hate the idea," Colby said as Daphne's heart sank into the floor, "I do not understand in what world you believed that this would not offend me in some way. I never understood why you did not ask to stay at my place in Davenport. I do not understand the fact on why you decided to choose a man that you wanted to kill over your boyfriend. I do not understand where your mind is at, but do what you fucking want, but I hate the arrangements. I do not understand why Renee doesn't hate Jon for offering you this opportunity over her. I do not understand how you can accept this without any thought at all." Colby expressed his dislike for this moving arrangement.
"Renee asked Jon to help me out. He does not want to see me homeless and also, we have been dating for three months. I do not want to move in with you so early into our relationship. I do not believe that we are in the stage, where we should be moving in with each other. Renee said it was fine, she does not want to move in with Jon until he proposes, so I am fine until he proposes to her, but this arrangement is not going to be forever, but until I can find a place that I can call my home." Daphne explained, trying to explain to Colby, but he was not convinced.
"We may have been in a relationship for three months, but I have known you for nine years. Should that matter to you? I have no problem with you moving in with me, but somehow, it's a giant issue with you." Colby argued with her as Daphne rolled her eyes, not wanting to have this argument with her.
"I moved in with Isaac and it was a personal hell. I moved in with Rami about four months into the relationship and we broke up eight months later. I feel like our relationship needs to go on longer, before we can consider living with each other and whatnot. I want to know for sure that we are in this for the long haul. Do you understand?" Daphne whispered as Colby chuckled under his breath as he looked at his girlfriend.
"I am in this for the long haul, but are you?" Colby said as he walked past her, not wanting to do anything about her as Daphne sighed and slide her back down against a wall as she recollected her thoughts. She knew the conversation was going to get ugly, but there was a part of her that hoped that Colby understood what she wanted and that he was cool about it. It was either she accepted Jon's invitation to bunk with him for a little while or watch her relationship with Colby fall apart. She had to focus on that, while trying to focus on her match against April in two weeks. It was official.
Daphne was conflicted.
What do you think Daphne should do? Do you think that Colby overreacted about Daphne wanting to move in with Jon or does he have a point? Do you think that Daphne Anne versus AJ Lee for the Divas Championship will end in happiness or heartbreak? FYI, Rami is Sami Zayn, if I have not clarified that yet. I apologize for not updating last week, but I had some weekend homework that would not go away. Please favorite, follow and review! :)
