Quitters

An action can lead to a movement...

FedExForum Arena

Memphis, Tennessee

"Okay, when Daphne comes through that curtain, I want to be the first one to hug her and say that everything is going to be alright." Colby Lopez told Jonathan Good, Renee Paquette, Brie Danielson and Nikki Garcia-Colace. All of them had come together to talk Daphne Consuelos from walking out on the WWE again. The look on Daphne's face looked so emotional and there was no way that she could have been acting.

"Colby—" Brie tried to tell him an important detail about Daphne's match, but was interrupted by Mr. Money in the Bank.

"Brianna, I'm trying to keep a good eye out for my girlfriend. You know? The one that you caused the title?" Colby did not want to focus on anyone, but his girlfriend at the moment as Brie rolled her eyes.

"Brie Bella cause her the championship. Brie Danielson is the one that is innocent. That's not the point though. Colby—" Brie tried to inform Colby, but he interrupted her.

"Brie, I just want to be there for Daphne." Colby pointed out as Brie rolled her eyes. There were some things that Colby will never be able to understand. One of the things: women and their emotions, some; well, most of the time.

"Colb, there is something that you really going to need to know about Daphne—" Jon tried to inform Colby next, but he was not listening.

"Listen guys, I am trying to redeem myself from SummerSlam," Colby informed them, while the emotion on his face began to show, "I know, I kept trying to push the fact that Daphne was alright and that she will be back, but that was me refusing the fact that there was something up with her. I'm afraid that being a victim of Stephanie's storyline is going to make her quit again. Stephanie is someone that never gets her karma, so I'm afraid that is going to drive Daphne to quit."

Everyone in the group looked down, remembering the day that Daphne pulled a Phil Brooks and walked away from the company, after things did not go a certain way for them. Renee looked back up at Colby, "Look, Daphne's not going to quit this time." she informed Colby.

"How do you know that, Renee? You obviously knew Daphne better than some of us, but were obvious to the fact that she quit at SummerSlam." Colby responded.

"Listen Colby, you really need to hear what we know." Nikki spoke up to Colby.

"I'm not quitting, Colby."

The entire group looked at the curtain, where Daphne came in from. Daphne formed a small smile on her face as Colby raced over to give her a giant hug, "Colby, I'm not quitting. Stephanie and creative really wanted me to channel the emotion that I felt at SummerSlam. I know, we haven't been open about our scripts, but creative wants a face turn for me and I am happy about where the script is going."

Colby cracked a smile on his lips. He let out a laugh like he was a little boy on Christmas morning. He was so thrilled of the fact that Daphne was not quitting or walking away like last time. She was remaining in the WWE. He connected with a kiss on her lips and spun her around, "I am so fucking happy right now. I thought I was going to lose you."

Then, the rest of the group let out some fake coughs as Daphne and Colby looked at them, making sure that the couple did not forget about the rest of the group.

"We did not forget about you, guys," Daphne said as she walked closer to the group, "I still got a lot of things that I would like for you guys to check out." she said with a smirk on her face.


"Look," Seth Rollins tried to consult his girlfriend and former Divas Champion, Daphne Anne. Daphne was coming off from a championship loss against one of the co-leader of The Authority, Stephanie McMahon, "I feel bad that you lost your match against Stephanie, but at least, the Divas Championship is within The Authority still. It's not like you lost the title to Paige, Emma, Summer Rae, Naomi or Natalya."

"I not only lost the title, but I lost my two best friends to that egotistical bitch," Daphne almost felt like crying. It was embarrassing that she was embarrassed by her own boss. She should have not been so naïve. She should have not been so confident, "Why am I being tortured like this, Seth? I am one of the best Divas in the WWE. I work with Stephanie!"

"Now, now calm down," Seth told her as he rested his hands on her shoulder, so that she was able to stand still, "You still have a rematch clause. You have one shot of getting your championship back, before you have to go demand for another one."

Daphne nodded her head; Seth did have a point, "You're right! I have my rematch clause—"

"Well, well, well, look do we have here," Stephanie, along with Brie and Nikki Bella came into the camera shot. Stephanie had the Divas Championship on her right shoulder, "We have such a lovely boyfriend trying to assure that everything will be okay for his girlfriend. Oh Daphne! It seems like you're missing something, but what?" Stephanie looked at Nikki, who pretended to ponder.

"She's not missing anything, Steph. The title is right here," Nikki patted the Divas Championship on her boss' shoulder, "Where it actually belongs."

"You and Brie are the Paul Reveres of the Divas Division! You traitors!" Daphne growled at The Bella Twins as Seth tried to hold back his girlfriend. Stephanie smirked.

"I like that she is in a fighting mood tonight, right ladies," Stephanie questioned as Brie and Nikki smirked, "How about you two ladies, face the team of Daphne Anne and….Paige tonight?"

"I like that," Brie said, "I like that a lot. Come on, Nikki." she patted her sister on the back as they left the camera shot. Daphne looked at Stephanie like he had done a huge mistake. Daphne and Paige have not gotten along lately and knowing how the two of them were two different Divas, who had the same objective, she hoped that she and Paige will be able to look eye-to-eye with.


"You Can Look, But You Can't Touch" played throughout the arena as Brie and Nikki did their Bella shimmy, before walking down the apron, "This is a Divas Tag Team Match Scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the team of Brie and Nikki, The Bella Twins!" Eden introduced them as Brie and Nikki walked around liked they owned the place. Since they were in Stephanie's good graces, it sure seemed that way. Their alignment with Stephanie meant that the Bella Brand was going to get stronger and the stronger, the more money they will gain.

"Sellouts" played throughout the arena as cheer erupted throughout the arena, "Introducing their opponents. First, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Daphne Anne!" Daphne walked down, looking at her former friends. She had full intentions of getting rid of those bimbo twins and running full force to her boss and demanding a rematch for the Divas Championship.

"Stars In The Night" screeched throughout the arena as Paige walked out confidently, "Introducing her partner, from Norwich, England: Paige!" Paige walked to where Daphne stood as the two of them talked about a game plan.

"It seems like Daphne and Paige are talking a game plan for the match." Michael Cole commented as Daphne and Paige finally agreed on something, before entering the ring. The two Divas made it to their respected corner as Paige started the match for her team, while Brie stated the match for The Bellas.

The bell rung as Nikki grabbed Daphne by her feet as she goes face first against the apron. As Paige was distracted because of what occurred with her partner, Brie rolled up Paige for a win.

"The winners of the match: The Bella Twins!" Brie escaped the ring as Nikki began walking up the apron. The match was no longer than fifteen seconds and the nightmare of the IWC came to life. They saw one of the best female wrestlers in the WWE being buried by a Bella. Paige was in disbelief that Brie managed to win the match so quick. Paige was distracted; she never meant to let her guard down long enough for Brie to capitalize on a win. Paige went to check on Daphne, who held her nose, in which she felt was bleeding.


Backstage, Daphne Consuelos' iPhone 6 Plus kept buzzing as she had placed her phone on vibrate, if a notification from Facebook, Instagram or Twitter showed up. She felt pretty upset over the fact that the Divas match was so short. She knew how the other Divas felt, but she had made a promise, before the fifteen second match occurred that she would fight for the opportunities for the other Divas. Daphne wanted to see other Divas be given a chance at longer matches, well-developed storylines and for them to be looked as more than a piss break; more like competitors.

"Wow, I felt like I just fought an Ironwoman match!" Daphne sarcastically approached Vince McMahon, who had wanted to talk to her about WrestleMania. In response, Vince rolled his eyes. He could not careless about the Divas Division. To him: the Divas were only for eye-candy. They are never meant to be actual stars.

"I know, I know, but it's not my focus right now. I want to talk to you about WrestleMania." Vince informed her as Daphne began to calm down a little bit. She remembered Vince and her conversation about her helping him give the WWE Universe the best WrestleMania ever, before Vince stepped down from creative control in the WWE. Daphne had not forgotten the conversation and she was well aware that she would help him make some creative decisions.

"Shoot." Daphne responded.

"What do you think about John Cena beating Rusev for the United States title?" Vince questioned her, looking desperate to see her approval, knowing that he had to make this the best WrestleMania ever or the WWE Universe would be desperate for him to step down and not even touch the WWE again.

"Well, I think that it would bring some significance back to the United States Championship," Daphne paused as she could hear her phone vibrating again, not wondering why her phone was going so crazy as it should have slowed down a bit, "Did creative think that Rusev should go over Cena?"

"Creative thinks that Rusev's winning streak should have ended months ago, but I think that John Cena is the guy to break it." Vince told her as Daphne nodded her head, hesitantly. She wondered if anyone would hate the idea of Rusev going over Cena because Cena is someone that doesn't need this victory and it should be someone fresh and new that should put an end to his winning streak.

"As long as you know how to make sure the loss does not impact Rusev, then go ahead with that plan. Do I have to remind you about Bray Wyatt?" Daphne said as Vince sighed in response, wishing that Daphne did not remind him of Bray and how he lost all of the momentum in the world with the loss to John Cena at the last WrestleMania.

Daphne's phone continued to vibrate, but she ignored it instead, "Look, I don't think that Bray going against Taker is not a good idea. I mean, Bray has already lost some momentum against Cena at the last WrestleMania and knowing the shape that Taker is in," she shook her head, not wanting to look at Mark Calaway also known as The Undertaker getting a concussion in the beginning of the match and having Brock Lesnar carry the match—which he cannot do well, "I hope that Windham can be careful with him—"

Daphne's phone vibrated as Vince seemed a little irritated, "Pick up the phone, dammit!" he snapped at her as Daphne quickly grabbed the phone, which was in her bra.

All the notifications were coming from Twitter as they read:

That Divas Match was a joke! Vince needs to GiveDivasAChance

I bet if Divas were given more time, they can steal a show. GiveDivasAChance

I told you by sending Paige to the main roster that she would be fed to The Bellas. GiveDivasAChance

Daphne looked at the hashtag that was trending and it was GiveDivasAChance. Daphne was shocked—the WWE Universe has snapped and for the first time in a long time, they have shown that they care about Divas getting equal opportunities like the WWE Superstars. It made her heart melt.

"What are you looking at?" Vince snapped as Daphne showed him her phone, "What is this?" he asked her with confusion on his face. He is looking at the hashtag and the comments of the WWE Universe. They were not satisfied of the fifteen second Divas match—they were very pissed off and they are pointing the fingers to him.

"This is a birth of a movement in the Divas Division," Daphne responded with a smirk on her face as she took her phone away from Vince's grasps, "The question is: will you give them what they want?" she questioned as she turned on her heel and walked away.


Okay, so I added in the "Give Divas A Chance" as a side story for "Quitters". I'm not sure with how far I will take it, but hopefully, it will be decent. What did you think about Colby assuming that Daphne was going to leave WWE after the loss? What did you think about the interaction between Daphne, The Bellas and Stephanie? What do you think of Vince reaching out to Daphne above advice about WrestleMania? Is he desperate or is he determined to show people he is not out of touch?
