Monday Night RAW

Seven Days Until TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs

Greensville, South Carolina

"How many awards am I going to have to get for Colby's behalf?" Daphne Consuelos questioned to Jonathan Good and Joe Anoa'i backstage, who was backstage for some reason that Daphne had no clue about. She had come back from getting another award that Seth Rollins had won—it was his third award tonight and he was still nominated for at least four more, which scared her because she refused to carry all of his awards for the rest of the night. This year, Daphne Anne was nominated for Diva of The Year, along with Brie and Nikki Bella, who were separate unlike last year, Paige and her rival, AJ Lee, who was not even here tonight. When these awards happen, there is at least one or two that are rigged, while the rest are what the fans want—at least, that is what is said backstage, but she could not be too sure about it.

"Knowing Colby, he'll place it behind your Diva of the Year Slammy." Jon said as Daphne rolled her eyes—it was unsure if she was going to win Diva of the Year, but it would be nice to win it. She thought that she had a good 2014. It may have had its twist and turns, but it all worked out well for her in the end because she was able to become a two time Divas Champion.

"Oh Jon, you're an in the closet Daphne Anne supporter. You seem like the person that voted for me over and over again on the app. You really do believe in me!" Daphne smiled like it was the most heartwarming thing that she had ever heard before. Jon snorted, knowing that she was only playing along with him.

"I only voted for you because Renee would kill me if she didn't." Jon defended himself as Daphne continued to smile.

"If it makes you feel better, I voted for you for one of the awards." Daphne informed him as Joe shook his head in disbelief.

"I can't believe you—showing favoritism. Aren't you forgetting the person that has believed in you all along?" Joe questioned as Daphne patted him on the back.

"How did you know that I voted for Dean Ambrose as Breakout Star of the Year?" Daphne asked, shocked as Joe widened his eyes.

"You voted for Dean Ambrose as Breakout Star of the Year?" Joe raised his voice louder as it startled the Ultimate Diva. Daphne gestured for Joe to calm down, knowing that if The Powerhouse got angry, then it would do no one good.

"Wait," Jon spoke up as the three of them went into an awkward silence. There was not a single word that was said between them, which made Daphne uncomfortable, "You don't think I am good enough to win Superstar of the Year?" he raised a brow at her. It was a fact that Dean was not only nominated for Breakout Star of the Year, but Superstar of the Year as well, along with the other members of what once made up The Shield.

"I voted for Colby for Superstar of the Year, but I think that my vote does not matter anyway. I feel like some of these awards are predetermined. What do you guys think?" Daphne asked.

"I personally do not care at all," Jon shrugged his shoulders carelessly. To him, it did not matter if he won one award or no awards tonight because he felt like wrestling should not owe him something, but he owes something to wrestling, "I feel like anyone should not owe me anything at all. I feel like what I do already is enough and I'll continue to bust my ass each and every night and I do not do anything for awards or glamour, but not everyone is going to agree with what I have to say."

"Well," Joe responded as he looked up the ceiling and then back at his friends, "I feel like having these types of awards are nice because it's good that the WWE is noticing the things that we are doing. I feel like getting an award is nice and it lets you know that you are in the right track with your career. I do not think that the awards are rigged whatsoever. I think, whoever wins are the people that actually deserve it."

"I kind of have to disagree with what you say," Daphne countered, knowing what Joe said was something that Vince or management put him up to say. She's noticed ever since The Shield disbanded that Joe has been having this massive push, which kind of rubbed her the wrong way. It was like the push came out of nowhere because she basically left Jon trying to fight with Colby. When Joe finally had that match with Colby, he got an injury the night before the event, which really left a huge gap at the match card. Daphne really liked Joe, but she felt like he was too green and that he needs time to improve his craft, before WWE got ideas of letting him win a Rumble match and headlining WrestleMania, "I feel like some of these awards are rigged."

Joe was getting a little irritated with Daphne, taking his relaxed back off the wall that it was once pressed on, "Say what you believe, but that is not going to stop me from thinking that way."

Daphne was shocked that Joe was acting a little irritated, "Whoa! I'm sorry, I was just giving my opinion. Who pissed on your cornflakes this morning?" she scuffed as she looked at a different direction.

Daphne, Saraya-Jade Bevis, Brie Danielson and Nicole Garcia-Colace all waited behind the gorilla as they waited for the Diva of the Year votes to be tallied. It was safe to say that four of these women were feeling pretty nervous about going out there, if they ended up winning the award. To Daphne, she really did not care if she won the award or not. Unless, she can look back at 2014 and say that she had an eventful year. It had its highs and it sure had its lows, but she was glad that she was able to establish herself as one of the most hated Divas in the locker room. When 2015 approaches, she hoped that she can be a tweener or at least the tweener that she wanted to be. Vince McMahon thought by making her a tweener that she might not be so hated by the WWE Universe, but she continued to be hated because she showed her heel tendencies a lot with her opponents.

"Alright ladies," Kevin Dunn approached the four Divas, "The votes have been tallied and the Diva of the Year will be AJ Lee. The thing is: AJ does not work here anymore, so we figured that it would be a good idea to bring Daphne Anne out to "accept the award in her behalf", but Emma will come out and the two Divas will begin to brawl, which will build up Emma versus Daphne at Tables, Ladders, Chairs and...Stairs. So, Daphne, go out and just get heat without breaking the fourth wall." he did not want to waist his breath on her, so he just left, before he cued to Jerry Lawler, who will be handing out the award.

The camera paned to Divas Champion, Daphne Anne, Paige and The Bellas, who were awaited to be called Diva of the Year. The drum roll began as Jerry said, "And you have voted; the 2014 Slammy Award for Diva of the Year to: AJ!" he exclaimed as Daphne shook her head in dissatisfaction as she exited out the gorilla area. The Bellas went into an opposite direction of Daphne, while Paige yelled at Titus O'Neil as unexpectedly, "Sellouts" blasted throughout the arena with a storm of boos as Daphne came out happily, like she won the award. She snatched the award from Jerry and told him to go away.

The WWE Universe continued to boo at her, "You know? It is such an honor to get to hold this award. Even though, I did not win the award...thanks, WWE Universe," she rolled her eyes, "But, I could brag about myself being the fighting Divas Champion that AJ never was, but I feel tired and bored of doing that. So, I am here to accept this word in behalf of AJ Lee. I hope that she is able to cherish this award because this will be a constant reminder of Daphne Anne being the one to end her career. This will be the constant reminder that I am the best Divas Champion in WWE history and that I always win in the end of the day. That's just life: there are winners and there are people like Emma, who are losers. People like Emma do not deserve to even touch a championship in the WWE, but somehow, she manages to rack herself up a Divas title shot," she began to rant as she was oblivious to Emma being right behind her with a some powder from the makeup department backstage, "What is Emma to me? She's a joke, who dances like an idiot in the ring. She is someone that is never going to be Daphne Anne, she is someone that will never be great and at Tables, Ladders and Chairs and Stairs, I will retain my championship, while Emma gets back in line like the loser she is."

The back of Daphne was met with a bunch of powder as she could feel the powder making contact with her skin. She turned around to see, who would have done such a thing as Emma began to punch away with her, "Emma attacking away on Daphne Anne!" Michael Cole commented as Daphne began to fight back with a huge knee to Emma's gut. Daphne had a message to show her and what was a way that she was going to get her message through?

By throwing Emma off the stage like she did with AJ at Chicago.

Before Daphne could accomplish that task, Emma stopped her at her tracks and was able to throw Daphne down the ramp. The Divas Champion rolled down the ramp as Emma continued her assault. The WWE Universe was going crazy as Emma whipped Daphne onto the barricade, before grabbing her by the hair and slamming her head against the ring apron, before the both of them entered the ring. Emma had Daphne, where she wanted her, but then, The Bellas suddenly appeared on the apron to help provide a distraction for Daphne. Sadly, the plan backfired because Emma was push Nikki off the apron, while managing to throw a punch at Brie, knocking her out onto ringside. Daphne did the best to use clothesline Emma, but Emma was able grab Daphne and place her on her shoulders and connect with the Emma-plane, which was an airplane spin, which made Daphne almost want to throw up.

Daphne went dizzy outside the ring as the WWE Universe cheered for Emma at #Emmalution played as Emma continued to talk back at Daphne, even gesturing that she wanted the Divas Championship, "Emma sending a message to Daphne Anne tonight!" Michael said.

"Will Emma walk out of this Sunday with the Divas Championship? I think that could happen!" JBL beamed, not believing what he was saying.

Daphne Consuelos walked back into the backstage arena, feeling a little dizzy with what occurred outside of the ring. There was no doubt that Tenille Dashwood knew how to do an airplane spin, but she wished that she was not the victim of it. She approached Colby Lopez, who stood there as he watched her whole segment, wondering if she was okay after that airplane spin, "Everything seemed to be executed well out there." he said, breaking the silence between the two of them as he gave a pat on the back to his girlfriend.

Daphne could have sworn that she was going to throw up, but the puke passed her mouth, so she was good to go, "It was executed very well. I hope I did a good job at making Emma strong because she needs the momentum on her side for this Sunday. I'm just thrilled that she is getting the push that she deserves. She was one of the Divas that I wanted to work with during my reign as champion, so I am totally fortunate that I am able to work with her from the start of it."

"I thought you did wonderful out there. Not meaning to move on to another subject, are you and Jon going to the live event for NXT this Thursday?" Colby asked, knowing that Daphne had asked Jon if he wanted to go to the event with her this Thursday because she had been a total bitch to him for a while. She thought by bringing him to the event might help them be better friends with one another.

"I guess, he just needs to see if there is no media on that date, but since Renee is doing the preshow panel, I suppose that he would want to tag along. I had intentions with talking to some of the female wrestlers and possibly Matt Polinsky. Hunter wanted me to talk to him, saying that it could help me in the near future, but I do not know what he means about that. It is probably about his concussions and how he deals with them, which can help me because I've gotten a few concussions last year. I keep hearing backstage that he has some news to tell everyone, which is making me nervous!" she explained, hoping that the news was good news for him because Corey Graves could be the future of the WWE and possibly a WWE World Heavyweight Champion some day.

"I'm trying not to hope for the worse with this guy. The guy is talented as hell and he does not deserve not to be living his dream. I hope the news is good news because he's part of our generation of NXT and it would be wrong, if he will not be able to come up to feud with one of us." Colby explained as Daphne frowned and nodded.

"I really want to work with him because we never crossed paths at NXT. Look Colby," Daphne took a deep breathe, as she wanted to move on to another subject, "Would it be ridiculous of me for wanting to have a main roster meeting before TLC this Sunday? I feel like ever since the Stone Cold podcast that the main roster has been pretty pissed about how things have been running in the WWE and I feel like if we all confronted Vince about our feelings that he might look at things from our perspective. Also, this would grant me with an opportunity to talk to Vince and let him know that he was right about me and that I have been such a horrible bitch as of late."

"I think that it's a pretty good idea, but do you think that the roster would want to listen to the Divas Champion? I know for a fact that I will listen to you; Brie, Nikki, Jon, Renee and maybe, Joe would want to hear you out. Probably Claudio and T.J. as well, but do you think that you're gambling too much with your career? I feel like you're going to need to have some star power with you that is on good terms with Vince and if he refuses to listen to you, he might want to listen to him." Colby responded as Daphne nodded, knowing that Colby was correct. She needed some star power by her side that was willing to let Vince know in which areas he's fucking up and it has to be someone he will not get mad at.

"How about you, Colby? You're Mr. Money in the Bank and you're cool with Trips, so could you be that star power that I need?" Daphne requested as Colby formed a smile on his face. He felt honored that he was the first person that his girlfriend when to, when she thought of star power. He may be one of the top heels in the WWE as of right now, but he thought that Daphne needed a certain top face to help her out with confronting Vince.

"I'm actually kind of honored that you went to me first. I'll help you out, but I feel like you need a top face to help you with confronting Vince as well." Colby responded as Daphne raised a brow.

"You don't mean..." Daphne was not sure if she wanted to compete the sentence.

"Yes, I am talking about John Cena."

Do you think that Daphne will actually reach out to John Cena about confronting Vince? Or do you think that John is so far up Vince's ass that he will try to put a stop to it? What do you think about Daphne versus Emma? Who will come out on top? Will Daphne retain or will Emma win? The next chapter will be the NXT: R Evolution chapter as she will have a chit-chat with Jon about some things. Thank you for reading. Please favorite, follow and review! :)
