Unexpected return can either shake things up or ruin things...


Monday Night RAW

Two Weeks Until WrestleMania 31

Des Moines, Iowa

Seth Rollins was with J&J Security backstage at The Authority's office, discussing some strategy for tonight. He had his golden Money in the Bank briefcase in his possession, looking very cocky and confident.

"Boss, Daphne has been acting pretty disrespectful towards Stephanie. Do you know what's up with her?" Jaime Noble asked curiously as Seth got serious, knowing that Stephanie and The Bella Twins have been getting under Daphne's skin for the past couple of weeks. Daphne had done her best to ignore what the three of the women had been saying, but Daphne snapped last week and demanded for a rematch for the Divas Championship at WrestleMania.

"Daphne is a woman that has high standards for herself. Whenever she does not reach them, she gets upset and down on herself. Look, I am the same way—we are both perfectionists in specific ways. Everything has to be perfect and at Fastlane, nothing was perfect for her, but she plans to make that up at WrestleMania," Seth explained as Jamie and Joey Mercury started to laugh, "What's so funny about that?" he asked in a rude way.

"Does Daphne know who she is getting in the ring with again?" Joey asked him, "She's facing Stephanie McMahon again and for the title. Can she afford to get embarrassed for the second year in the row? Last year, she lost to a Bella and now, she's going to lose to the boss. This is career suicide for her."

"Hey now, I think that you both are underestimating what my girlfriend is truly capable of. I feel like she has a lot to live up to as she has never won a WrestleMania match before." Seth may have been wrong to underestimate her at Fastlane, but WrestleMania was upon them and he promised never to doubt her again, even though Fastlane was a low point of her WWE career.

"Hey Seth," Triple H entered the camera shot as Seth turned around, "You said that you wanted to talk to me?" he reminded him as Seth nodded his head.

"Yeah look, I know that it may seem like Daphne has been at odds with The Authority, but she wanted me to assure you, Stephanie and everyone else that she is still with The Authority, but she is not getting along with Stephanie for a while now. Daphne just thinks that she having the championship is what is best for business." Seth explained as Triple H did not respond, but looked serious as he took in what Seth said.

"Daphne has always been a troublemaker in the company. She is known to be very vocal and not afraid of the consequences. This is why I thought that she would be perfect for The Authority, but Stephanie wanted The Bella Twins. So, we decided to pair those three together, but I did not know that Stephanie was still into getting rid of Daphne. I thought I changed her mind. Look, I'll try to talk with Stephanie and tell her to go easy on Daphne—until WrestleMania because I still have faith that my wife will kick your girlfriend's ass." Triple H said in a serious tone as Seth began to chuckle, believing that Hunter was being funny.

"Oh, you're actually serious." Seth's chuckle began to fade away as the awkward tension filled the office.

"You're damn right I am." Triple H responded.


Stephanie McMahon, Brie and Nikki Bella were backstage as they got ready for their in ring segment that was coming next. Basically, Stephanie was going to build up their match three weeks from now and get under Daphne Anne's skin even more. The two women were giggling and acting high and mighty, before Triple H entered the camera shot.

"Hey honey," Stephanie approached her husband, giving him a kiss on the cheek, "What are you doing here?"

"Steph, you know how much I love you, but make sure that you go easy on Daphne, before WrestleMania. Seth is getting concerned and knowing that Seth is the future of the business, it would be best that we keep our future happy and if that means not hurting Daphne until WrestleMania that is exactly what we'll do." Triple H was acting like a strict businessman and wanted to do what was best for business.

Stephanie chuckled as well as The Bellas, "Don't worry, Hunter. We'll go easy on her." she vowed as Hunter looked seriously at her again, knowing that Stephanie was not going to do what he said, but he hoped that she would show the slightest compassion and do what he wanted her to do.

"You better, Steph." Hunter said, before he stepped away from the camera shot.


"Welcome to the Queendom" played as the WWE Universe booed. Stephanie and The Bella Twins came out and embraced the boss, "Ladies and Gentleman, welcome Brie and Nikki Bella and the Divas Champion and Principal Owner of the WWE, Stephanie McMahon!" Lilian Garcia exclaimed as Stephanie raised the championship above her head as she walked to the ring. Brie and Nikki applauded Stephanie as she rose the championship.

"It feels great to be the Divas Champion!" Stephanie said as the WWE Universe booed, "Honestly, this has been the most amazing feeling, not only because I haven't held a championship for such a long time, but I took this championship of the Ultimate Bitch, Daphne Anne. Finally, I can say that I knocked off that ungrateful little girl off her high horse. You see, Daphne has always been ungrateful. She has a spot in The Authority, she is dating the future of the WWE and yet, she is unhappy with what she has. She has to go further by wanting to be the one to end AJ Lee's career and capture the Divas Championship and just because she has been able to accomplish all that, she thinks that she is better than me."

The WWE Universe chanted "Yes! Yes! Yes!" which annoyed Stephanie, "Do you all think that Daphne Anne is better than me?"

"YES!" the WWE Universe said loudly.

Stephanie looked back at Brie and Nikki, who rolled their eyes, "Don't let them get the best of you." Brie advised her as Nikki added on, "Ignore the haters."

"Daphne does not know who she is stepping into the ring three weeks from now. Just like I crushed her spirit by taking her championship, I'll take away the one thing that means the most to her and that is Seth Rollins. Honestly, I'll ask him to make a decision that I would like the answer to by the end of WrestleMania. Either he stays in The Authority or he stays with that little girl because from this moment forward, Daphne Anne is out of The Authority!" Stephanie declared as the WWE Universe gave a loud cheer.

"Sellouts" played throughout the arena as Daphne Anne came out with Paige next to her. The two Divas stood on the ramp with a microphone in Daphne's grasp, "Wow! You kicked me out of The Authority! Honestly, I was actually going to give you a notice to when I was going to get out of The Authority, but you made things a lot simpler," she explained as Paige shook her head, while the two Divas entered the ring, "A lot simpler to do this." Daphne hit the mic against Stephanie's head, knowing her down as a cheer erupted to the WWE Universe as Daphne began punching away at Stephanie. Nikki tried to rip Daphne away from Stephanie, but as Nikki turned around Paige delivered a harsh kick to Nikki's jaw, knowing her down to the floor. Brie went on to attack Paige; the two Divas threw fists at each other.

Daphne and Stephanie rolled around in the ring trading fists at one another, but Nikki hit Daphne from behind as she grabbed Daphne. Meanwhile, Brie threw Paige out of the ring as the three women surrounded Daphne in the ring. Nikki clutched Daphne's arms, so that Stephanie could slap and punch Daphne as hard as she could, but before she could…

"Out of My Mind" blasted throughout the arena as a returning Eva Marie came running to the ring. She clotheslined Brie and then Nikki. Eva elbowed Brie in the face, before dropkicking Nikki. Stephanie attacked Eva from behind, grabbing her by her gorgeous red hair, but Eva slapped the boss across the face as Daphne grabbed Stephanie and threw her out of the ring. Paige grabbed Nikki by her legs and pulled her out of the ring and speared her through the barricade as Eva kicked Brie in the stomach and threw her at the bottom rope. The WWE Universe cheered as the three faces standing in the ring as Eva raised Daphne and Paige's hand as "Sellouts" played.

"Well, it is safe to say what side Eva Marie is on." Michael Cole pointed out as Stephanie yelled for someone to bring the Divas Championship to her. Once she got the championship back, Stephanie raised it in the air to taunt Daphne.

"I think that Paige might have found herself a partner in Eva Marie!" JBL beamed as Eva and Paige talked about being partner at WrestleMania, which Paige seemed to agree at.

"THIS IS OUR HOUSE!" Paige yelled at the WWE Universe cheered.

Before panning to backstage, the cameras got The Bellas and Stephanie arguing with each other, when it came to the return of Eva. In the ring, Paige and Daphne high fived each other, while Eva went to hug Daphne, knowing that the two of them were good friends and tag partners, before she had to go get surgery. It seemed like things were working out well for Daphne, but will it continue to be this way going to WrestleMania?


Honestly, I get the feeling that people will hate the decision of inserting Eva into this storyline. Some maybe wondering why I didn't bring back Emma or make AJ return, but I wanted someone that Daphne knew quite well and in the last story, Daphne and Eva had talked about them teaming with one another. It might be her and Paige teaming up, but at least she was in a main Diva storyline, which the WWE would have wanted her to be. I know that Eva might be one of the worst Divas in the roster and I know that I might have made her a little better than in real life, but it will be soon noticed that Eva is the weaker Diva when it comes to Daphne and especially, Paige, but we'll see how all of this pans out.

What do you think of Eva's return? Was it unexpected? What about Seth going to Triple H about Daphne? Could there be some tension between Seth and Triple H?Thank you for reading! Please favorite, follow and review! :)
