''We're back bitches!''
Alexa glanced up from her scripts, a smile creeping across her face when her eyes landed on the two identical brunettes making their way towards her.
Nicole and Brianna Garcia-Colacem better known as the Bella Twins. She hadn't seen the pair in almost a year, but it was glaringly obvious that they weren't as identical as they had been when they left the WWE.
She dropped the papers onto the bench and rose, giving both women warm hugs. ''Hey!''
''Good to see you, Lex.'' Brie smiled at her.
''You too.'' Alexa responded, her eyes crossing over to Nikki, who had returned with a new set of twins of her own. ''Nice tits, Nik.''
''I know, right?'' The woman grinned, proudly jutting her chest out. ''And you'd be surprised how real they feel... you want to touch them?
Her sister let out an exasperated sigh. ''Nicole!''
''Sure.'' The Latina shrugged, casually stepping forward with her hands in front of her.
Brie rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest as she watched her sister take hold of Alexa's hands and guide them to her breasts. ''This is beyond weird...''
''They feel awesome.'' Alexa told her, giving them a gentle squeeze. ''If I hadn't known you before you go them done, I'd swear they were real.''
Nikki smirked, raising an eyebrow. ''Maybe you should get yours done if you like them so much?''
''I-''
''Don't listen to her, Lex.'' Brie interjected quickly. ''Your boobs are fine.''
''Your boobs are pretty awesome.'' Nikki agreed, her eyes dropping to look at them briefly before she reached out, her hands coming up to rest on them.
''Nicole!'' Brie cried again. ''God, you have so sense of personal boundaries!''
''I don't mind.'' Alexa assured them with a smile. ''We're friends, right?''
Nikki beamed back at her before shooting a glare to her sister. ''See, Brie. Lex-''
''What the hell is going on in here?''
The three women turned to face the doorway, finding Celeste watching them with an amused expression on her face.
Nikki laughed, dropping her hands as Alexa did the same. ''Nothing, Lex was just admiring my new boobs.''
''Okay...'' The Texan drawled. ''Well, they want us to film our segment now, if you guys are done feeling each other up?''
''I can't believe we get to face each other at Wrestlemania!'' Celeste gushed. ''It's going to be so cool.''
Alexa laughed, nodding. ''I know, I can't wait.''
They had just finished filming their promo which had basically just been laying the groundwork for the eventual match between the pair next month. They were both beyond excited; it would be the first time the Diva's Championship would be contested on the pay-per-view, it was going to be Celeste's first ever match on the grandest stage of all and it was Alexa's first match back at Wrestlemania since before her injury.
''Want to head down to catering and watch the rest of the show from there?''
''Sure.'' Alexa grinned at her friend. ''I don't have to go down to ringside with the guys tonight so I'm all yours.''
''Good.'' The woman looped her arm around hers and started to lead her down the hallway. ''Because I have some ideas for our match...''

Monday 25th March
''Jesus Chris, it's fucking freezing.''
''Man up, Torres.''
Alexa flipped her boyfriend the bird as they trailed behind Joe and Colby, walking through the Pittsburgh street towards the Fearless Athletics building, home of CrossFit South Philly.
''So, I've never done this before, what's all the hype about?''
''Uh, it's a little hard to explain.'' Colby shrugged. ''As long as you know the basics, you'll be fine.''
She turned to Jon with a cocked brow. ''Basics?''
''Lifts, squats, burpees.'' He clarified, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. ''You'll be fine.''
They walked inside and Alexa was a bit taken aback, the gym wasn't like any she had ever been in before. Instead of the usual weight machines, treadmills and cross-trainers there were ropes, boxes, hand weight and bar bells and more kettlebells than she had ever seen in her life. The back wall was painted a vibrant shade of red and there were pull-up rings hanging nearby as well as numerous ropes hanging from the ceiling.
''Looks like a fucking torture chamber...''
The Iowan glanced back at her with a smirk. ''You'll love it!''
Alexa remained unconvinced, grumbling under her breath as the man strode over to a big chalkboard in the corner. She dumbed her gym back to the side and pulled off her jacket before getting into her pre-workout stretches. Once she was finished, she strolled over to join the guys in front of the board, planting her hands on her hips as her eyes skimmed over the words.
''What's a HSPU?''
''Handstand push-up.'' Joe replied, chuckling at her expression. ''You do all that yoga crap, right?''
She gave him a light shove. ''It's not crap, but yes, I do.''
''You should find it pretty easy then.''
''Don't listen to him, sweetheart, I love the yoga.'' Jon leaned over to whisper in her ear. ''That sort of flexibility is hot.''
Rolling her eyes, she stepped away from him and over to Colby; the man taking her under his wing and walking her around the warehouse, patiently explaining to her what exercises were to be completed where and the benefits to her body of each one. After setting her up with a weightlifting station and setting her weights for her, he left her to it.
If he ever came to a point where wrestling wasn't an option anymore, she knew he would make one kick-ass CrossFit trainer.
She easily completed her lifts and moved onto her pull-ups and burpees, after which she honesty felt like she was dying. Her water bottle was practically empty and her towel was drenched in sweat, it was a lot harder than she anticipated. She took a quick break before sluggishly moving over to the back wall where she had seen everyone else doing their HSPU's.
''Need help getting up?''
Turning around, she smirked when her eyes fell on Jon. He had obviously been working up quite the sweat too, his chest glistening; he had removed his t-shirt, leaving him in just his shorts as he ran a towel over his face.
''...What?''
''And you call me a perv.''
'What can I say? You're obviously rubbing off on me.''
''I-''
''Shut up.'' She quickly cut off his response, knowing all too well what was about to come out of his mouth.
Jon wandered off and bending over, Alexa planted her hands on the mat before kicking her legs up and pushing herself upright, her feet balancing on the wall to keep herself steady. Despite the fact her arms felt like jelly, she managed to complete her handstand push-up's relatively quickly.
Soaked in sweat, she collapsed to the ground as soon as she was done, trying to regain her strength. A few moments later, she felt someone nudge her shoulder with their foot and reluctantly opened her eyes, finding Colby grinning down at her.
''So? How was it?''
''I feel like I'm dying... but I kind of like it... does that make me a masochist?''
RAW
''Now, the issue here is that AJ Lee has said, on a number of occasions, that she believes Kaitlyn has abandoned her just like, well, everybody else over the years.''
The bell sounded and Kaitlyn wasted no time in diving on her former friend, landing blow after blow to her face.
''Kaitlyn doesn't see it that way, these two used to be best friends. And Diva's Champion, Kaitlyn, taking it to AJ Lee!''
King chuckled. ''You're right about that! Kaitlyn's going to get up close and personal with AJ!''
The two-toned woman threw AJ into the corner, the smaller woman bouncing off the turnbuckle and into Kaitlyn's elbow, sending her to the canvas.
''Well, in just thirteen days, Kaitlyn will be getting up close and personal with Sierra.'' Michael stated. ''The 'Shieldmaiden' looking to regain the Diva's Championship at Wrestlemania.''
''That's definitely going to be one to watch!''
''And Kaitlyn still in control here, AJ hasn't managed to get any offence in at al- ooh! What a slap!''
The man spoke too soon, AJ having got to her feet and managing to land a hard blow to her opponent's face.
''AJ's a whack-job!'' Michael said, watching as she was laid out by a vicious clothesline from the Champion. ''She's a few fries short of a Happy Meal!''
Jerry laughed. ''You don't just slap Kaitlyn and then just skip around the ring!''
''It's a shame their friendship had to come to-''
SIERRA. HOTEL. ECHO. LIMA. DELTA.
SHIELD
Kaitlyn, who had just lifted AJ up onto her shoulders, turned to face the ramp uneasily as Special Ops blared through the speakers.
''What's Sierra doing out here?'' Michael wondered.
The woman had emerged from the side of the stage, coming to a halt just in front of the ring; her arms crossed over her chest and a sinister smirk on her lips as she stared at the woman inside the ring.
''I don't know, but it can't be good.''
''We've already seen her out here once tonight, when The Shield took on Justin Gabriel, Khali and Zack Ryder.''
Kaitlyn was forced to tear her eyes away from the woman as AJ managed to struggle out of the hold she had on her, dropping down behind her and rolling her up for a near fall.
''Smart move by AJ.'' Michael noted. ''Trying to take advantage of the distraction caused by Sierra.''
Sierra casually strolled around the ring as the two women grappled inside, heading over to the timekeepers area. Leaning over the barricade, she snatched the Diva's Championship belt from the official, a devious look on her face as she carried it over to the ring.
''What is she doing?''
She slid into the ring, ignoring the referees demands for her leave and approached the unsuspecting women. The pair had managed to slam into each other at the same time and were just slowly starting to stagger to their feet.
Kaitlyn was the first to stand, turning around and looking at the woman in dread when she saw her in the ring. Not giving her the chance to react, Sierra ran forward and crashed the title belt into her skull.
''Oh my God!'' Michael cried in horror.
The referee signalled for the bell, Kaitlyn winning the match via disqualification.
The crowd were booing heavily as AJ finally turned to see what was happening, still slightly dazed from her opponent's attacks. Her eyes widened and her jaw went slack when she realized that she had just lost the match because of Sierra. She stomped over to the Latina, angrily shouting and getting in her face before delivering a slap to the side of her face, the sound seemingly echoing around the arena.
''What is AJ doing?!'' King gasped. ''She IS crazy!''
Sierra barked out a laugh at AJ's audacity, her free hand coming up to rest on her stinging cheek before a dark look spread across her face. AJ quickly took a step back, nearly stumbling over her own feet in her haste to get away from the woman.
Michael chuckled. ''Looks like AJ has just realized what she's done.''
Sierra dropped the belt to the mat before reaching out and grabbing a handful of the smaller woman's hair, smirking when she screamed. She delivered a hard kick to AJ's stomach before hooking her arm around the back of her neck.
''She's not doing what I think she's do- oh! DDT! DDT right onto the Diva's Championship belt!''
Sierra snatched the belt out from under AJ's head before she stood, flipping her hair over her shoulder before raising it above her head, the disapproving roar of the crowd in her ears and a satisfied smirk on her lips as Raw cut to commercial.
