Survivor Series
Scottrade Center

Daphne Consuelos could not be any more excited. Even though she knows the result of the match, she was so satisfied of the build-up that this matched had received. It was treated like a serious match and not some piss break match like the other Divas matches have been. This was going to be better than the piss break matches that people were used to. They knew whenever Daphne Anne entered the ring that the match was going to be memorable. She was excited for everything and she was not looking at the match and whether she wins or loses, but from the storytelling of it. When she entered the Divas Locker Room, she found that Brie Danielson and Nicole Garcia-Colace were not inside. The only Diva inside the locker room was April Brooks, who was Divas Champion. April was already in her ring gear as she sat in the bench looking at the Divas Championship.
"I'm sorry, it seems like you are preoccupying the locker room, so I'll find somewhere else to stretch." Daphne said as she turned her head away from April. All she needed to do was to stretch as she already had her black, tight leather cat woman-like body suit on. April looked at Daphne and saw that it was now or never.
"Daphne, come back!" April instructed as the Ultimate Diva was shocked that April invited her back in. She even had to point at herself to see if April was talking to her, "Yes! I mean you! I even said your name. Sit down!" she gestured for Daphne to take a seat next to her. Daphne shrugged her shoulders and sat down next to April, "Look, I know that we have had our difference in the past, but I respect you in the end of the day. I did not kick you out of Phil and my home because I'm a bitch, but I really wanted you to find your own direction in life and not have to rely on my husband for guidance. I don't want you to rely on Colby's direction for you as guidance, but you need your own direction in life. You might think that you are being pulled at two different directions, but you're not at all. You just can't decide for yourself, so you rely on what people want for your own direction. I think you need to learn about what you want for your life."
Daphne let April's words soak into her mind, "Look, I do need to find my own direction in life, but at SummerSlam, I felt so lost and Phil was there to pick me up. If your concern is that Phil was going to leave you for me, then I just want to assure you that it is not going to happen at all. I love Colby with all of my bitchy heart and he was the reason why I wanted to become a professional wrestler. Look, the results are set on stone for tonight and I do not care about the results at all. All I care about is giving the best match of our entire careers. Will you help me at doing that?" Daphne asked, seriously as April moved her head around.
"Sure," April said, speaking a little like AJ Lee, "But, don't take this conversation like we are going to be besties because we're not. We are just on better terms than we are before," she informed Daphne, who stood up and went for the door, "Oh Daphne!" she exclaimed as Daphne looked back, "Break a leg."
Daphne nodded, "Break a leg too." she said as a smile formed on her face, when she went out the door.
"This is a Divas bout scheduled for one fall and it's for the Divas Championship!" Eden exclaimed as the fans began to cheer, "The stipulation added by Daphne Anne is that if AJ Lee were to lose the match that she will no longer be a WWE Diva," "Sellouts" by Breathe Carolina played throughout the arena as Daphne Anne came out to a mixed reaction because there was no telling if she was the face or heel of the match. It seemed like Daphne was a tweener, who was leaned towards the heel side due to her actions on RAW this past Monday, "Introducing first, the challenger: from Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Daphne Anne!" she beamed as Daphne tagged a few hands, before sliding from the bottom rope and posing, before "Let's Light It Up" by Kari Kimmel played to a bunch of cheers as AJ Lee stood on the ramp as she looked at the Divas Championship, before raising the title in the air and skipping to the ring, " Introducing her opponent, from Union City, New Jersey, she is the current Divas Champion, AJ Lee!" when AJ slide under the ropes into the ring, she stood on the left side of the ring and kissed the Divas Championship, before giving it to the referee. Daphne stood on the right side of the ring as the referee called for the bell to start the match.
With the match underway, Daphne and AJ locked up as Daphne pushed AJ to one of the corners and held her there as the referee counted to four. Then, she gave a huge kick to AJ's stomach and pulled her arm to throw AJ to another corner, but AJ was strong enough not to move and connected with a clothesline to Daphne, who felt to the floor. AJ went for a cover as Daphne quickly kicked out at one as the two Divas stood up and exchanged a look with one another. For sure, they knew that this was going to be a tough match to win, not because of how quickly they got up from moves, but for the fact that no Diva cannot afford to lose this big of a match. Daphne kneed AJ in the stomach, as she felt to her knee and used the ropes to bounce from and connect with a sharp kick, making AJ fall back. Daphne grabbed AJ's left arm and connected with a DDT on it as AJ felt the sharp pains of her arm. Daphne began to smirk and that was when everyone knew that trouble was going to come.
"Daphne seems to be doing pretty well as of far. She has managed to get the champion, AJ on the ground," Michael Cole acknowledged as Daphne grabbed AJ by her neck and applied some pressure on to it, "She needs to be careful not to get too confident or that is when she will melt under the pressure," he added on as Daphne got AJ's arm, in which she DDT and wrapped it around the champion's neck as AJ screamed, "Now Daphne with this painful submission!" he exclaimed.
"That is the arm that Daphne injured a few moments ago. Will she make AJ tap?" Jerry Lawler questioned as the referee pulled Daphne away from AJ. The Ultimate Diva raised her hands, so that the referee knew where her arms are and then she began to step on AJ, making sure that she was in pain.
Daphne then grabbed AJ by her cheeks and made eye contact, "You think that you can step toe-to-toe with me? You're sadly mistaken, AJ! YOU WILL NEVER BE BETTER THAN ME!" Daphne screamed as AJ connected with a huge slap, making Daphne turn her back, but AJ was able to grab Daphne and connect with an inside cradle.
"AJ with the upset!" Michael exclaimed as the referee began to count the cradle, but Daphne was able to kick out of it, "Daphne managed to escape, but that vicious kick from Daphne!" he said as AJ fell to her back after Daphne delivered a harsh kick to AJ's face, "Now, Daphne with the cover! Do we have a new Divas Champion?" the referee began to count, but AJ managed to kick out.
Daphne grabbed AJ by the hair and took her in between the first and second rope and with her leg, she and with the rope, applied pressure on her neck. Daphne used her hands to open AJ's mouth, trying to rip it apart. The referee counted to four as he pulled Daphne away from AJ. She waited patiently for AJ to recover to then, connect with a northern lights suplex, before rolling herself on top of AJ and connecting with a series of punches at her face, before getting off of her. Daphne grabbed AJ to connect with a suplex, but AJ kept blocking it and AJ was able to counter with her own suplex as Daphne held her back in pain. AJ waited for Daphne to get up and connecting with a few dropkicks. With Daphne on the floor, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to connect with the shinning wizard, but out of nowhere, Daphne sprung up and connected with the heel hook, The Bitch Lock as she had AJ in the center of the ring with the submission hold. AJ was in pain and had the urge to tap out, but she knew that she could not have her career ended by this bitch.
AJ struggled to crawl to the bottom rope. This was the one thing that she needed to do. She had to fight for what she wanted. This was something that she had been doing all of her life. Daphne had a strong grip, but AJ managed to make it to the bottom rope as the referee counted to three, before Daphne managed to get herself disqualified. AJ kicked Daphne in the stomach, before connecting with her neck breaker and going for another cover. Daphne managed to kick out at two. AJ grabbed Daphne by her hair and took her to the top rope as she wanted to connect with a superplex. This had to be one move that she needed to do to slow down her momentum. Daphne tried to punch herself out of AJ's grasps, but AJ continued to get her situated for the superplex. After about a minute of doing that, the two Divas fell from the ring with no sign of them getting back up.
"This is awesome chants!" broke it from the WWE Universe, showing their involvement in this match. All of the sudden, Brie and Nikki Bella came from the ramp, trying to get Daphne to get back into the match. Brie stood there emotionless, not knowing what to do, while Nikki tried to get Daphne, back up to her feet, while AJ jumped on Nikki and punched her face, not wanting anyone to interrupt the match that she was supposed to have with Daphne. With Nikki out of the way and Brie not doing, she tried to set her sights on Daphne, who was trying to recover, but something that the WWE Universe never expected to happen, happened.
Brie stood in front of Daphne to protect her from AJ.
Daphne was shocked by the gesture as she smirked to make it seem like she knew exactly what Brie was planning, "No! You are done, AJ! You're finished! Just walk away, like your husband did!" Brie slammed as the WWE Universe went in "ohhh" and then presumed to chant, "CM Punk". AJ was fuming because of the insult and jumped on Brie, before grabbing her by the hair and throwing her against the steel steps as Daphne came from inside the ring and connected with a dive onto AJ. The two Divas were on the floor for a moment, before they both entered the ring. Daphne kicked AJ and tried to counter with the Bitch Cure, but out of nowhere, AJ connected with the Black Widow as Daphne struggled out of the submission, but out of nowhere, Daphne was able to connect with the Bitch Cure.
"We have a new Divas Champion!" JBL exclaimed as "Sellouts" blasted throughout the arena as Daphne stood on her knees in the center of the ring, feeling the emotion from everything that has been going on with her life.
"The winner and NEW Divas Champion: Daphne Anne!" Eden exclaimed as the referee handed her the Divas Champion as Daphne looked at the title from her grasps, before Brie tackled on top of her in a celebratory hug, before Nikki went in to join in the fun.
"Oh my God! Daphne proved all those doubters wrong and she is now a two time Divas Champ!" Jerry exclaimed, "But, look at AJ," he said, while the cameras panned to her back against the barricade as she looked at Daphne, feeling upset about the loss of her title, "Being Divas Champion meant so much to her and now, she will not have an opportunity to even get her rematch because her WWE career ends tonight."
Brie and Nikki assisted Daphne back to her feet as Daphne raised the Divas Championship up in the air to a mixed reaction from the crowd as she went up the ropes to celebrate her victory, before the camera panned to her, "This is for you!" she mouthed to the camera, before blowing it a kiss as she raised the title up in the air.
"Daphne Anne has struggled with reaching the mountain top with the past two years and the struggle ends tonight at Survivor Series!" Michael exclaimed as Daphne and The Bellas exited the ring to celebrate backstage, while AJ stood up from the barricade to an applause from the WWE Universe. "Thank you, AJ!" chants broke out as she began to get emotional. It sucked that she had to go out there and not only lose her championship, but her career, but she has been able to do things in her short WWE career that most Divas would ever dream about. Now, she has a husband to go home to and perhaps, she can watch the start of Punk's MMA career take off and be the proudest wife in the world. She choked on her own tears, she may have been the loser of this match…
But, she felt like the biggest winner in the world.
