Monday Night RAW

Six Days Until The Royal Rumble

Dallas, Texas

"I have been really impressed by your work," WWE Hall of Famer and the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels praised Divas Champion, Daphne Consuelos backstage, before Monday Night RAW began, "You've got attitude and you make me want to punch my television and call you a word that is not Godly of me to do so." he laughed as Daphne laughed a long with him.

"Thank you, Shawn. I have been just doing what I have been allowed to do. I'm always fortunate to get praise from people that have done majors for the WWE. It's an honor that you're even talking to me, even though that you have an important segment later tonight. So," Daphne wanted to move on from herself and focus on the talk backstage and that was the Royal Rumble Match. Even though Daphne already had an idea about who was going to win the Rumble, but she questioned who other people thought was going to win the Royal Rumble and headline WrestleMania, "Who do you want to win the Royal Rumble Match?"

"My pick is Dean Ambrose," Shawn informed her as Daphne looked a little surprised. She thought that Shawn would have picked Daniel Bryan, since he was part of his wrestling school, "That guy is insane, but I feel like he can get the job done. Who do you want to win?" he asked her the question back to her.

"Dean's a good friend of mine, but Daniel Bryan needs this win. Who would not like to see the David versus Goliath of our generation? The underdog versus the man that The Authority is looking for. Whenever I think of that match, it makes me want to get the WWE Network and watch the match." Daphne felt like she was going to have a little friendly argument with Mr. WrestleMania himself.

Shawn nodded, seeing where Daphne was coming from, "Alright, I see where you're coming from, but you need to think about this: what if Brock Lesnar's opponent was a lunatic that wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty? Brock needs an opponent that is about as tough as nails as he is and I think that Dean Ambrose can be that guy. Dean is reckless, he's nuts and he might not be what the WWE is looking for, but he brings that unpredictability in the table."

"Look, I see where you're coming from Shawn," Daphne placed a hand on Shawn's shoulder, "But, the people want Daniel Bryan. People want to see Daniel Bryan conquer the odds and have the title match that he never even had a rematch for."

Shawn scuffed, "Well, Daniel has a chance to earn his title match now! My money is still on Dean Ambrose!"

"You!" Daphne pointed at him, "Are a hard man to convince!"

"You!" Shawn pointed at Daphne back, "Got a match that you need to prepare for tonight. So, chop, chop!" he shooed her away as Daphne gave him a playful glare, "It was nice talking to you, Daphne!" he smiled at her.

Daphne was already walking away from Shawn as she formed a small smile on her face, "It was nice talking to you too, Shawn!"

Daphne Anne was already in the ring with Natalya as the bell rang. The two Divas locked up as Natalya backed Daphne into a corner as the referee counted to four. Natalya backed away, giving Daphne a little space as the two Divas locked up again. Natalya kicked Daphne in the gut and grabbed her by the hair and slammed her against the mat, she quickly went for a cover, but Daphne pushed Natalya out of the way. Natalya then connected with a headlock as the pressure was applied to Daphne. Daphne was doing her best to get out of the headlock, but Natalya had a strong hold on her. Natalya released the hold, bounced to the rope and connected with a mini-dropkick on Daphne, before going for a cover, before Daphne kicked out at two.

Natalya grabbed Daphne and attempted to apply an abdominal stretch on the Divas Champion, but Daphne was able to elbow Natalya in the face and connect with a clothesline. Ringside, Brie and Nikki Bella were clapping ringside as the heel heat began to be heard. Daphne grabbed Natalya and connected with a harsh kick to her face, before she went for the cover, but Natalya kicked out. Daphne began to knee Natalya on her throat over and over again. Daphne could even hear Natalya scream in pain, before the referee held her back. Daphne went back and pulled Natalya by her blonde hair and took her in between the ropes. Daphne placed her knee on the back of her neck as Daphne, with her own hands, reached inside Natalya's mouth and began to rip it apart! Natalya squirmed to get out of the hold.

"Get the hold out of her!" Emma screamed to the referee. It was not only Daphne, who had two people with her ringside, but Natalya had two people ringside with her as well. Natalya had Emma and Paige, while Daphne had Brie and Nikki. This Sunday at the Royal Rumble, the six Divas were going to participate in a six Divas tag team match. Their feud has built up ever since Tables, Ladders and Chairs and it was going to go down in just six days.

"SHUT UP, EMMA!" Daphne said as she continued to apply pressure onto Natalya's neck, before jumping off with her hands up, so that the ref knew that her hands were not doing any funny business at all. Daphne waited for Natalya to recover a little bit. Paige and Emma continued to root on their partner for the six Diva tag at the Royal Rumble as Daphne went to approach Natalya, but Natalya pushed Daphne away and connected with a powerful clothesline. Natalya then went on to attack the Ultimate Diva, throwing fist directly at her face, before the referee had to pull her away. Daphne rolled out using the bottom rope, while The Bellas rushed to her aid, but at the same time, Paige and Emma rushed to the other side of Daphne to make sure that there was no funny business happening. Daphne was in between of Paige and Emma and The Bellas and she held her hands out in defense.

"Get away from her!" Nikki pointed at Paige, who was approaching closer to the Divas Champion, "She's our partner. Go focus on your own partner." she placed her hands on Daphne's shoulders.

Suddenly, Nikki took a couple of steps back as she watched Daphne being dropkicked to the announcers table. Her head collided with the edge of the table as Daphne held her head back. It felt like in that particular moment that Daphne's world just froze. There was no way that she could afford to get another head injury or even worse, a concussion. She was already champion and there was no way that anything or anyone was going to ruin the moment for her, "Oh God, oh God," Daphne Consuelos muttered under her breath, "This cannot be happening again." she didn't know if she was letting her paranoia get the best of her because it was just a hit head first into the edge of the announcers table.

"Daphne collided head first into the corner of the announcers table. What people need to know is that Daphne has a history of head injuries," Michael Cole informed the WWE Universe and possibly people watching wrestling for the first time about a specific detail about Daphne, "It looks like she might have done something to cause another injury to her head." the camera zoomed to Daphne holding her head, but fearing to get up. Brie rushed to Daphne's side as Nikki stood guard, playing the role as the muscle out of the three of them.

Brie Danielson whispered, "Did hurt your head again?"

Daphne Consuelos felt like crying, but she had to be the strong fighting champion, "I'm so scared of hurting it again, but I need to continue the match." she stood right back up and was able to make it before the count to ten. She thought that she was going to get counted out. Let's just say the minute that Daphne Anne slide back to the ring that she jumped on Natalya and began to bounce up and down. She pulled away from Natalya as Natalya ran towards her, but Daphne elbowed her in the neck and connected with a DDT as she went for a cover. Natalya kicked out at two in a half and that was when Daphne knew that she had to end the match. It wasn't only because she was afraid of another head injury, but Natalya needed to be put to a stop.

Daphne grabbed Natalya with a headlock and prepare to launch herself to connect with her finisher, the Bitch Cure, but Natalya was able to elbow Daphne out of the way and connected with a powerful clotheslines. Natalya then grabbed Daphne's legs and prepared to go for a Sharpshooter as it connected. Daphne was rolled to her stomach as the painful submission move. She tried her best to fight to the rope, but then she was prepare to tap out. All of a sudden Natalya found herself on the floor, when Brie connected with the missile dropkick. The bell rung as Natalya won the match by disqualification. Daphne sneaked out of the ring to grab her championship. Brie and Natalya were in the ring fighting and throwing punches at one another, before Paige connected with a harsh kick directly to Brie's face. Paige grabbed Brie and connected with the RamPaige. Then, Nikki tried to save her sister by attacking Paige, before getting clotheslined by Natalya. Emma then came into the ring and brought Nikki up her shoulders and connected with an Emmaplane spin. Nikki fell on the matt dizzy as Daphne pulled Nikki by her feet and out of the ring. Daphne already had Brie on the ramp next to her, while she held Nikki up.

"THIS IS OUR HOUSE!" Paige yelled as the WWE Universe cheered as "Stars in the Night" played.

"CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, LADIES!" Daphne screamed as she raised her title up in the air, "At the Royal Rumble, the three of you are done for!"

"Come on Daphne," Colby Lopez said as he was with Daphne getting her head checked to see if she did not reinjure it or got a slight concussion. Honestly, Colby thought that Daphne was not hit so hard and that everything was going to be fine with her, "Everything is fine. The hit did not look so serious that you need to be tested to see if you have a concussion..."

Daphne covered her left eye as she looked at the chair in the wall with letters that went from big to small, "H, O, N, S, D, C, C..." she read the random letters as Dr. Andrews nodded in approval.

"Good, now cover your left eye and read the third row." he instructed as Daphne did what she was instructed to do.

"O, K, H, D, N, K, U, S..." Daphne read the eye chart.

"Alright Daphne," Dr. Andrews began as soon as she was done reading, "By the looks of things, you're just fine. You have nothing to worry about." he concluded as Daphne nodded.

"Told you!" Colby said as he approached closer to her and kissed her on the head, "You have nothing to worry about at all. You're all healed up and you'll be prepared for the Royal Rumble. We got some big matches this Sunday and nothing is going to get in the way of that."

"Hey! It's not my fault that my last concussion left me scared to do anything at all. Look, I just want the doctors to be able to look at my injuries before I do something reckless that could possibly end my career. Besides, Nick Nemeth always advised me whenever I get banged up in the head that I should get it checked out. Nick is someone that has gotten concussions and he just doesn't want the same thing to happen to me. Also, Matt Polinsky ended his wrestling career because of concussions and head injuries. I just do not want that to happen to me as well." Daphne explained as Colby nodded.

"I totally understand you. I'm just trying not to get you scared, but it almost kills me to see you wrestling. I feel like you're too fragile to go out there, but you are proving me wrong each and everything that you belong in a ring." Colby pointed out as Daphne raised a brow.

"Where in the hell did you get the impression that I am fragile?" Daphne seemed a little offended by the fragile comment because she was not weak. She wanted to leave off an impression that she was strong as a rock. There was nothing that can stand in her way and her attitude was the reason why nothing can stand in her way. There was no other bitch in the WWE that could get the job done like Daphne.

"Daphne, I know you're not fragile, but I feel like you are. I mean, you've been through so much and I feel like the minute you get that Divas Championship taken away from you that you..." Colby could not complete his train of thought. He did not want to think of the worst case scenario that would really piss off Daphne.

"Who said anything about losing the Divas Championship?" Daphne said in an angry tone.

"Did you not hear who your next feud is with?" Colby questioned her as she shook her head, "Daphne, your next storyline involves Stephanie McMahon."

If you saw the update on my profile, Stephanie is technically not a Diva, but the woman that will feud with Daphne next. What do you think about Daphne feuding with Stephanie? Will Daphne drop the title to feud with Stephanie? Will Colby play a part in Stephanie versus Daphne? Who will win the tag match this Sunday at the Royal Rumble: Daphne and The Bellas or Emma, Paige and Natalya? Please favorite, follow and review! :)
