AJ stood next to Randy at the gorilla position and 2 seconds later they were walking down the ramp, and when she entered the ring the bell rang. It started off with them running towards eachother and grappling till Brie did a fast and smooth headlock takedown. AJ got up fast but was met by a clothesline but got up again and was met by dropkick. While AJ was down Randy jumped on the apron and did their signature distraction catching Brie's and the referee's attention. When Randy jumped off Brie turned around and got a kick to the midsection and AJ climbed up and did the black widow and Brie tapped. AJ's hand was raised in victory and Randy entered the ring and they shared another kiss and then they left the ring. Walking down the halls backstage they walked into their locker room. Inside was Stephanie and Hunter on the couch waiting for them, the couple stood up as Randy and AJ entered the room.
"Great job" Hunter complimented the two
"We just wanted to say that AJ is going to be in the title picture in the future" Stephanie informed them
"Thank you!" AJ thanked her
"You deserve it" Stephanie said genuinely before she and her husband left the locker room
"Congrats" Randy smiled hugging AJ
"Thanks" AJ said hugging back
"Let's get ready" Randy said pulling away
An hour later both were ready to leave the arena and head to the next city, AJ and Randy got in their rental and ate dinner and arrived 2 hours later at their hotel. When they arrived to their room they sat on a leather couch next to eachother.
"Are we both going to be champions in this storyline?" AJ asked him
"Yeah" he told her "So, why were you so quiet after the show?"
"I was just tired" she lied, truth was she was feeling uncomfortable that Trent was in the same room as her earlier.
"Okay" he said letting it go
AJ reached for the coffee table in front of them and turned the tv on and a Total Divas was on.
"What is this?" he asked
"Total Divas, a 'reality' show for the other Divas" she explained about to change the channel but Randy stopped her.
"Come on, let's watch it and make fun of them" he encouraged playfully
"Fine" she smiled
They watched the entire episode laughing, mocking and poking fun at the divas on the show. After the show they got ready for bed, but they noticed there was only one king sized bed and AJ didn't really want to sleep on the couch again. So they came to agreement to sleep in the same bed, at first they were at lying as far away from each other in fear of making the other person uncomfortable. But eventually they got closer and felt comfortable next to each other and both fell asleep peacefully.
Early in the morning, AJ woke up facing Randy who was still sleeping, her first instinct was to move away. But she couldn't, because she felt so comfortable next to him and he warmed her little body. Randy's arm went around her shoulder and he pulled her into his bare chest him. She felt so warm inside and loved seeing him sleeping peacefully and she fell asleep in his warm embrace again. 3 hours later Randy woke up with AJ curled up in his chest. He carefully rolled over so he wouldn't wake her and he checked his phone. He had to start getting ready for the show so he got off the bed and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. When AJ woke up Randy was fully dressed and was sitting on the bed next to her.
"Good Morning" he greeted warmly standing up
"Hey" she greeted sitting up
"I don't want to rush you but we're supposed to be at the arena in 2 hours" he said when AJ jetted out of bed and ran into the bathroom and after 10 minutes she was fully dressed and they both headed down for breakfast. After they got food on their plates they went to sit at a little round table. When they settled they both dug in and after 2 minutes if eating AJ took a little break and then she saw something that immediately upset her. It was Trent sitting 2 tables behind Randy he was just casually reading the paper and sipping his coffee. Randy noticed AJ looking over his shoulder and she looked upset.
"AJ, is something wrong?" he asked concerned
"Everything's fine" she assured but not taking her eyes of Trent
Randy looked back but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. He contiuned eating but studied AJ carefully. After breakfast they went up to the room they packed their bags and checked out of the hotel.
During the car ride to the arena AJ was dead silent and still upset about Trent. Then AJ's phone recieved an sms, she took it out of her pocket and checked it.
Please April, I need to talk to you. -Trent. AJ read the text over and over again, she had way too much on her plate right now and she didn't need to have to deal with Trent so she decided not to reply hoping Trent was going to give up soon.
"Who was that?" Randy asked keeping his eyes on the road
"Nobody" she replied quickly causing Randy to get suspicous
They arrived at the arena 5 minutes later and when they did AJ stormed off to catering leaving Randy alone. He went to his locker room and dropped his bags off, he thought to himself and decided he had to do something about AJ's upset behavior. He headed to the divas locker room and knocked on the door and it opened revealing Kaitlyn.
"Hey" Kaitlyn greeted a bit alarmed since Randy never talked to her except for when it came to AJ
"Hey, can we take a step outside?" he asked her
"Sure" she agreed stepping outside the door
"It's about AJ" he started "She got upset this morning by something she saw at breakfast, later in the car she recieved an sms and it immediatley upset her even more"
Instantly Kaitlyn knew what it was, but wondered if AJ would want Randy to know. But she decided not to share such personal information with him.
"Really?" she said acting surprised "I guess I'll talk to her about it"
"Please do" he said walking away
Kaitlyn walked to catering to find AJ and she did, AJ was sitting alone with a plate of fruits but she wasn't eating it she was just staring at the table. Kaitlyn walked over to the table and sat across from AJ.
"AJ, Randy's onto you" Kaitlyn informed her best friend
"What do you mean?" AJ asked looking up at Kaitlyn
"He came to me and told me that you were upset at breakfast and when you recieved an sms" Kaitlyn explained
"You can't tell him" AJ said in a low voice
"Wasn't going to" Kaitlyn started "But you need to do something about it"
"What can I do?" AJ hopelessly asked her friend
"A. Talk to Randy and let him help you B. Talk to Trent" Kaitlyn told her
"I don't like any of them" AJ said queitly
"AJ, you really have to do something" Kaitlyn said "Or I will be forced to do so" and then she stood up and walked away
Randy was sitting in his locker room when there was a knock on the door. He shot up and opened the door and a producer appeared outside.
"Your scripts for tonight" the producer said giving him 2 scripts
"Thanks" Randy thanked and slammed the door shut
When he went to go sit down there was a knock on the door again, he opened it and his best friend Cody was there.
"Randy, shall we finish our therapy session?" Cody teased lightly
"Yes we shall, Dr. Phil" Randy played along, they both shared a laugh and then got settled in his locker room they continued talking for about 5 hours.
20 minutes after Cody had left there was 1 hour left until the show and AJ came in with her bags and she got the script from Randy and started reading it.
They were going to have a tag match against Fandango and Summer Rae and they were going to go over.
When AJ finished reading she got changed into her ring gear and left to go to get her makeup done. Randy had also gotten changed and he oiled himself up for the match.
50 minutes later of preparing they both met at the gorilla position and discussed what they were going to do with Fandango and Summer Rae for a brief 10 minutes. Randy and AJ went out first and they were met by cheers and chants. Then Fandango and Summer came afterwards. AJ and Summer started the match off locking up and Summer took AJ down with a headlock takedown. AJ got up and kicked Summer in the gut and ran the ropes and went for a clothesline but Summer ducked irish whipped AJ into the nearest corner. Summer charged towards AJ but before she could hit AJ, AJ ducked and when Summer turned around AJ kicked her in the gut and did a shirinui and pinned Summer.
"1….2!" but Summer kicked out and when AJ turned her back Summer ran to Fandango and tagged him in. Therefore AJ had to tag Randy and he would face Fandango. They charged towards eachother but Randy hit Fandango with a powerful clothesline. Fandango got up quickly and irish whipped Randy into the corner. He charged at him and went for the corner clothesline but Randy ducked and tackled Fandango to the ground and got up and stomped him until the referee stopped him. Fandango got to the ropes and used it as support to stand again but when he faced Randy he was clotheslined out of the ring. Fandango fell out of the ring hard but after the referee counted 5 he got up on the apron slowly and Randy came up to him punched him in the mid-section and did and elevated DDT. Then Randy pinned him but the referee was distracted by Summer Rae. AJ ran behind Summer and pulled her of the apron and then there was a catfight outside the ring. Randy got up and got slightly distracted by the divas fighting, Fandango recovered and when Randy faced him he went for a punch to the face but Randy ducked and irish whipped him into the ropes and performed a snap scoop slam to Fandango. Then Randy did his signature coil and RKO'ed Fandango and pinned him. "1...2….3!" the bell rang and Randy's theme came on AJ came into the ring and they did their signature victory kiss and went backstage.
