Quitters

Just because you might want something more does not mean that you will end up getting it...

Monday Night RAW

One Week Before Survivor Series

Roanoke, Virginia

"Creative wants you and Daphne to become a couple?" Colby Lopez was in utter disbelief about what his former Shield teammate, Jonathan Good admitted. This explained everything about Renee suggesting the idea that if Jon and Daphne were to form a friendship, they would not be killing each other, whenever they do a romantic scene with one another. Jon was oblivious to the idea, until after he asked Daphne that he could bunk with him until she has a home of her own. Renee had heard the idea of the romantic angle before Jon and she was the one that opened up to him about it. Jon went to creative for clarification and he did that and much more.

"Yeah. I do not see the logic in it at all. I think that it is just Vince's head coming up with ideas. This storyline could just be an idea that Vince made. Most of the time, these storylines never happen. So, you do not need to worry at all. Although, creative said that they either want me or Nick Nemeth to do the angle. By the looks of things, if they do the angle, it might be Nick that does it because he uses the girl to his ultimate advantage. I do not work that way, so I would be okay with that, but instead of getting angry about Daphne about not wanting to move in with you so soon in the relationship, you should be pissed at the fact that this angle was even brought up." Jon suggested as he stuck his hands in the pocket of his "Unstable" jacket.

"I just like her too much. I felt like we've known each other for a long time and the idea that she does not want to move in with me just hurt me. When she bunked with Phil, I felt like a little piece of me was gone. I thought that I was never going to see her again. There is a part of me now that does not want to let her go. I have promised to always protect her and I feel like I am failing at that if she is not by my side." Colby looked at the floor upset as Jon could see how conflicted he felt about Daphne. It explained part of the reason why he did not want Daphne to bunk with anyone else. It was because he does not want to let go of her. He does not want to be away from her.

"Man," Jon spoke seriously, "You are got fucking soft, Lopez," he elbowed the sellout in the ribcage as Colby did the exact same thing to Jon as he yelped at pain, "OW! Fuck! You know that I am dealing with a serious injury and it's thanks to you!" he snapped as Colby laughed evilly.

"I would not be afraid to do it again." Colby responded.

WWE Headquarters

Four Days Until Survivor Series

Stamford, Connecticut

"Hello again everyone and welcome to our weekly on and my guests this time are the two Divas that will be facing each other for the Divas Championship this Sunday at Survivor Series: Daphne Anne and the Divas Champion, AJ Lee," Michael Cole introduced the two Divas, who were sitting across from each other. Daphne was wearing an all-black pants suit and AJ was wearing a tee shirt with a comic book character on it and some red and black padded capris with the Divas Championship on her lap, "Now ladies, this is my first time doing something like this, so be patient with me. The two of you Divas will be facing each other for the Divas Championship. If AJ were to lose, she would not only lose her title, but her entire WWE career. The first question goes to Daphne: why would you even consider having a title match under that stipulation?"

Daphne looked directly at AJ, "Michael, have you have hit rock bottom? When AJ Lee came back and took that Divas Championship away from Paige that was my definition of rock bottom. Everything around me was shattering and I was not strong enough to glue the pieces back together. I thought the stars were aligned for me to take the title off of Paige. With Hunter, Stephanie and Seth telling me that it was a done deal that I was going to be the next champion, I believed them. I thought that nothing was going to ruin as perfect of a moment as this. I interrupted Paige and was about to cash in that phony Divas Championship match opportunity, but AJ ruined that moment for me. Basically, it was all AJ's fault. She could have not came back and she wouldn't be wrestling for her career."

"So, you wanted me to become a quitter like you? I can tell you that I am not that same little girl that I was in the beginning of the year. I let the power of becoming the longest reigning Divas Champion in WWE history get into my head and it made me become a better person. I got too comfortable and Paige managed to take the title away from me. I refuse to get too comfortable again. I will not let my guard down and drop this title to you. Daphne, when you placed this stipulation, you did not do it to pressure me, but to pressure yourself. People believe that you do not work well under pressure so by placing the stipulation, you are trying to prove to all of those naysayers that you can thrive under pressure. So, it seems like the only one to prove something this Sunday at Survivor Series is you." AJ responded seriously as Daphne began to get an angry look on her face.

"What if I do have to prove to myself something? If I get rid of you, I get the title and a Division in which every Diva can have a crack at the Divas Championship. Look, people may like me or hate me because of Seth, but one thing is for sure and that is that every single person in the crowd appreciates me for placing the Divas Division on notice again. You have not done jack for the Divas Division. I do not see the change that you speak of. We are still being underestimated by everyone in the locker room and by the crowd each and every night. The only Diva that has done something is me! I have shown them that women can be taken seriously in this profession. I have placed the Divas Division on track and it is not thanks to you!" Daphne shouted.

"Now AJ, you and Daphne have had a little history with each other in the past, but now, it looks like Daphne does not even care—all she wants is to get rid of you? When the stipulation was added, how did you feel? Did you feel angry or scared?" Michael asked as AJ thought about her words for a moment as she looked down at her Divas title.

"When I was a little girl, I grew up with nothing at all. For my wrestling career, I had to basically live in my car. I even struggled wondering if I would get a meal that day. This was all I wanted," AJ patted at the title, "THIS WAS ALL I FOUGHT FOR!" she shouted as the room got silent. No one spoke a word before AJ spoke up again, "Daphne, you might think that you have me all figured out, but you do not know a damn thing about me! You're someone that had basically everything handed to you as a child. You had two parents that loved you and you have a boyfriend that would take a bullet for you. I did not even have a set of parents growing up, but I am damn lucky that I get to wear this wedding ring every single day, knowing that there is someone out there that loves me," she lectured as she held up her wedding band, so that Daphne could see, "You might think by taking my career away from me that you take it all away from me, but you don't and you never will."

"You do not know me at all, AJ," Daphne whispered, "We have two things in common and that is we basically grew up with one parent. My mother was at work so much that it seemed like my father was raising me by himself. The other thing is that we have been mistreated by men in the past. Men have used us to get their points across, but it all worked out for us. I did not grow up with riches. I grew up in an ordinary house in Ajax. It was nothing glamorous. I moved to a bigger house at the age of eight because the money my mother worked her ass to get was finally piling up, but did I want to follow in my mother's footsteps? Nope! I wanted to become a wrestler and I was not going use my mommy's money to get there. Hard work and years of dedication was going to lead me to this moment and it will all pay off this Sunday!"

"Daphne, I am not trying to take away all of the hard work that you have created. I know, you're someone that paved the way for women like Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Emma, Paige and any other woman that came from the Indies to try to make it in the WWE. You placed Independent wrestling on the map and made WWE Officials pay extra attention to it, but let's face it. People started giving a damn about the Divas Division was because of me. It was not because of you. Yeah, you had a following before you signed that contract in the WWE, but I placed the Division on notice. The only thing that you have done was demonstrate that a Diva can fight in hardcore stipulations like Trish Stratus, Lita, Victoria, and Molly Holly, but we do not want the Division to be like it once was—we want it to be better than that." AJ explained as Daphne tilted her head to the side, taking in everything that AJ said.

"I agree," Daphne spoke up, "But, I need you out of the way if I want to accomplish that. You make it seem to be that there can only be one Diva that is able to change the Division for the good of it. I believe it takes more than one Diva to change a Division. Divas like Natalya, Emma, Paige, Naomi are just some of the women that can help revolutionize the Divas Division. Hell, even you can, but you might not even be working for the WWE to ever see that unfold. AJ, at Survivor Series. I am really going to give you the fight that you have been wanting all of you fight, but it's going to be the last fight you will ever be in. I am not the same Daphne Anne that broke down at SummerSlam. This is a new Daphne Anne and she refuses to let the pressure to get the best of her."

"That is where you're wrong Daphne, you always managed to feel the pressure and you will at Survivor Series." AJ said as Daphne stared at her like it was piercing through her soul.

The moment that you have been waiting for is coming in the next chapter: AJ versus Daphne; one last time! Do you think that Daphne will finally get the belt or will AJ prove Daphne wrong once again? When you read the interview, was there someone that you agreed with more? Did you agree with AJ or Daphne or are the two of them off with some points?
