Ana:

I'm sitting in a creative meeting it's one of my very first creative meetings. I've been working with creative for a couple weeks now. The plan was for me to start after Summerslam but I didn't want to wait that long so I started early. I've helped with writing the shows and helped put the card together for Summerslam. I know Dean is facing Roman for the WWE Championship after they had an amazing feud that has gone on since Money in the Bank but at Summerslam it is set to end and a new feud for both of them is to begin. Dean doesn't win the championship at Summerslam. "Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose are probably our top guys in the WWE right now," says Mike one of the guys on creative. "They have put on one hell of a feud but like all good things it has to come to an end. It's time to move on, it's time to come up with some new ideas," he says.

"Roman Reigns we're trying to build him up for a match against Undertaker at Wrestlemania this year so we have to watch what we do with him. I want to change Roman's character up a little bit," says Vince. "I want something new from him. I want something that takes him away from the Shield persona. I need to see something different from him. Dean and Seth have had a new character since the Shield days while Roman has stayed within that persona, same entrance music pretty much, the same ring gear," he says, "we need something different. The fans want something different."

"That's true," says Mike, "but with Roman Reigns there's not much that we can really do with him. His mic skills aren't that great and his move set is kind of limited."

"I beg to differ with that," I say, "Roman has improved greatly with his mic skills if you listen to him cut a promo today as opposed to 6 months ago you would see the difference. He is doing really well and he's over with the crowd. It took a while to get him there but he is there. His move set was limited but if you have been watching his feud with Dean you can see that he has pulled out new stuff because they know each other's move set. We have seen something new from each of them. Roman has been impressive lately. He is better than he was 6 months ago and he keeps getting better. I don't think it's fair to say that about him anymore. He has proven himself over and over again. I don't know what more he has to do to prove that he is meant to be here. I mean after all he is our champion right? How can you be so down on the champion?"

"It's simple," says Mike, "the guy doesn't impress me. I think he has a lot more work to do. I wasn't in agreement with him being the champion if I had my way he wouldn't have won at Money in The Bank."

"But he's impressive. He has been working his ass off," I say, "it's not fair to say that he's not better than he was before. He was a little rough last year but he's getting better. I think most of us are impressed by his work and his promos but I agree that he could use a character change. I mean the Shield persona has been going on for a while but the fans do look forward to seeing him come through the crowd at every show. Maybe a couple months ago I would have said to make him heel but he's doing well as a face. I think turning him heel would cause us backlash. If you wanted him to be heel it should have been done when he wasn't over with the crowd but the ball was dropped on that one. I say we keep him doing what he's doing with the same character and then maybe closer to Mania like after Survivor Series start to change his character a bit, start building up to what we want him to be at Mania when he faces Taker. You know come Mania everyone is going to pull for Taker so the best time to make him heel is heading into Mania. WE need to leave it as it is right now. He's doing all right. The fans haven't complained too much and as the champion do we really want to risk changing up his character? It doesn't seem like a good idea."

"She makes a good point," says Vince. "Changing up his character right now could be crucial we'll leave it as is for now but after Survivor Series I want him to start changing. I want ideas of a new character for him."

"Well, Roman has this look," I say, "he can pull off cocky pretty well. Why not make him some cocky obnoxious guy that talks about looking better than everyone and how he's the best. Let him talk about how he owns the WWE and owns the ring. Get people to hate him that way."

"That would never work," says Mike, "the guy doesn't have it in him to be a cocky bastard with his poor promo skills."

"And his promo skills will get better they already have. We have been writing stuff for him for too long. He is uncomfortable with it. Let him be himself, let him come up with his own promos," I say, "you might be surprised. Have you ever watched his interviews? When he's himself is when he is most comfortable."

"But we want to write his promos," says Mike.

"And that's where the problem lies," I say, "it doesn't matter writing his promos keeps him limited and you want him to breakout and go beyond his limits. How can he do that if we're holding him back by writing his promos all the time? We have to let him be himself. We have with Seth and Dean and look at those two."

"Dean is a natural talker though you know that. He's been cutting good promos since his independent work."

"And that may be true but you let him be himself, try doing that with Roman and he might impress you. I'm impressed by Roman and how much he has improved. It's not fair to say he hasn't because he has. The guy has been through the ringer," I say. "Don't tear him down after you have gone so much to build him up. It's not fair to him."

"All right, Ms. Ambrose," he says.

"Ms. Bennett," I say correcting him although he is not wrong.

"Ms. Bennett, who would you like to see Roman in a feud with? I can't think of anyone that would really generate a good feud with him. Again, Roman is limited."

"As much as I am sure everyone would love to see Roman face Big Show again for the thousandth time, I think we can do better than that can't we?" I ask.

"I suppose," says Mike. I can't stand Mike he is one cocky bastard. Every time he opens his mouth I feel like stupid comes out. I constantly find myself rolling my eyes at his logic.

"What about Bray Wyatt? Let's put Bray Wyatt into a feud with Roman. I think the idea was good that you started last year. Wyatt had a grudge against Roman because he felt anyone but Roman should be champion well now that Roman is champion why not have Wyatt come after him for the championship? Pick up on the feud. Have Wyatt get into Roman's head again making him feel like he doesn't deserve to be the champion but let's leave his innocent child out of it," I say, "keep it respectful. Have Wyatt play mind games with him. I mean their feud wasn't bad but once again it was creative that dropped the ball on it when it just came to a dead stop. Start it back up. It should be interesting to see."

"That's a good idea," says Stephanie. "That is a really good idea. Let's pick up on the Roman and Bray Wyatt feud. Ana is right we did kind of just let it hit a dead end. Let's revisit and revise it. Let's start it over again the night after Summerslam."

"And stop dropping the ball," I say, "Bray Wyatt was someone that had a good future, had a lot of potential you break up the Wyatt family and then he's just someone that's there. You just throw him in where you can. It's kind of sad to watch. Roman vs. Bray has the potential to being a good feud if we do it the right way and with Roman being the champion it deserves more than what it got last time. I mean that's just my opinion," I say.

"We love your opinion so much, Ana," says Mike sarcastically. "Seriously do you even watch the product or do you just watch your husband?"

"I watch the product and I watched you suck on your job," I say. "You think people want to see Big Show vs. Roman Reigns a thousand times or how about the whole Authority thing? How long does it have to go on before it's finally over? I mean you are out of touch with the fans it's pathetic. The only time you listened to them was when the Philadelphia crowd threw a hissy fit because Daniel Bryan didn't win the Royal Rumble and Roman Reigns did. That's when you just pushed Roman under the rug and started screwing with him. You spent all that time building him up and then nothing. It was pathetic because of ONE city compared to the entire WWE universe. Philadelphia is a rowdy crowd I get it, they know their wrestling but I think that what happened that night was a hissy fit and a temper tantrum because they didn't get what they wanted so you screwed Roman over for months."

"Okay," says Stephanie, "this is getting a little too personal. We hired Ana because she is talented and she knows the business. She's good at what she does and she has some really good ideas."

"Writing for a magazine about celebrities does not mean she has the talent to work for WWE Creative."

"Okay," I say, "I may not have started out writing for WWE but I have my degree in this stuff and I have been watching the product for over 10 years. My fiancée is in this business it's what he eat sleeps and breathes," I say, "I have learned everything from him. I can see when something isn't being done right and technically a lot of things haven't been done right. I'm just here to give fresh new ideas not to see the same stuff over and over again. Yes I am opinionated but so are you. I'm telling you what the fans see and want to see. We preach about listening to the WWE universe but we really aren't listening to them. We are so out of touch that it's ridiculous. It's time to make a change, give them what they want. Stop screwing around with the people that deserve it. You have some feelings about Roman, I don't know why and I don't care but you can't sit there and say the man hasn't worked his ass off to improve and that he hasn't improved in the last few months. If you look at his work a year ago and compare to this year you will see he has come a long way. What more does the guy have to do to prove to you that he is worthy of his position and he deserves to be champion? You were holding him back and holding him down for the longest time now he's champion and you still want to hold him down."

"I just don't think he deserves to be champion," he says, "I would think you would want Dean to be the champion?"

"Let's leave Dean out of this one. Just because he's my fiancée doesn't mean I'm going to say he should be champion. It's not about him. WWE doesn't revolve around him but you did your job of screwing around with him too for a while. He had a lot to prove to you and he did it. Dean loves what he does. He doesn't care if he's the champion or not. It's not about that for him. It's about being in the business doing what he loves and putting his body on the line every night for the fans. Don't pull him into this."

"Let's leave the personal stuff outside the meeting room," says Stephanie, "but we do need to discuss Dean."

"Okay," I say. "Let's discuss Dean."

"As we all know Dean is losing the match at Summerslam and will not be the champion. He was supposed to become the champion but he made the decision not to be when he decided to go part time after Summerslam," she says surprising me. I had no idea that Dean was going part time. I had no idea at all.

"Dean is going part-time?" I ask, "when did that decision get made?"

"You didn't know your fiancée was going part-time?" asks Mike. "You two don't talk about his career?"

"When did this decision get made?" I ask.

"Maybe two weeks ago," says Stephanie, "Dean came to us and asked to be dropped down to part-time. He is working RAW and pay-per-views and will do overseas tours but as for Smackdown and house shows he isn't working them." I feel my agitation rising. I don't like secrets especially something like this that not only affects him but affects me also. He didn't even talk to me about it before making the decision and that is what pisses me off the most. "So since he is doing part-time we can't give him the championship. It wouldn't be right to have a part-time champion. I don't want to take him out of the main event spot because the guy has really good potential and he's a great talker and a great wrestler. His style is different than most. I like the grittiness of his character and the craziness of his character. I want to see him as the champion and I want to see him in the main event but right now we can't do that. I don't want to put him on the mid-card either so there has to be a happy medium. I have been watching someone for a while that I think would make for a great opponent for him. Kevin Owens has been in this feud with John Cena for a while now and it has been a pretty good feud. Kevin Owens is impressive, his mic skills are amazing like Dean's and his wrestling skills are just as amazing. People hate him because he speaks the truth and since Kevin is set to retain the US championship at Summerslam I would like to see Dean and Kevin have a feud and battle for the US Championship of course have Dean win it eventually but I am interested in seeing what these two can do together. I feel like it is something the fans would want to see. I think they could put on some good matches and they would have an amazing battle on the mic. I think this is going to be good."

"I think it will be awesome," I say trying to hold back my anger. I'm really upset over Dean deciding to go part time without talking to me about it first. I thought we were doing better than before but apparently I was wrong. He bought a cabin without talking to me first and now this. Do I even matter in his world?

DEAN:

"So you're really going part-time?" asks my best friend Roman.

"Yeah," I say as I am getting ready for my match tonight at RAW in Tampa, Florida.

"What made you go part-time?" he asks.

"I just feel like I am away from my family too much. I am missing out on so much of Natalia's life. When we had our weekend away at the lake in Cincinnati I realized I don't know anything about my daughter. It has been a long time since we actually sat down and had a daddy daughter day. I don't spend enough time with Ana either and with the baby coming in January I think I need to be home more. I missed a lot of Natalia's life when she was little because I was doing this. I love this business and I love my job but I love my family and I just want more time with them."

"So you're just doing Raw then?"

"Well, I was going to only do Raw and the pay-per-views but I think I should do Smackdown too. I just want more time with my girls."

"I understand," he says, "but are you sure you really want to drop down to part-time? What did Ana say about it?"

"She doesn't know," I say.

"Your wife works on WWE Creative and you didn't tell her that you dropped down to part-time? Are you crazy? You should have told her. She could find out before you get the chance to tell her. You know they are starting to plan past Summerslam right now. You should have told her."

"I was planning on it but with all the wedding planning it kind of got lost in the mix," I say, "I'm going to tell her as soon as I get home. She should know."

"Knowing Ana she is going to be pissed that you didn't' talk to her about it first."

"Probably but everything will be all right."

"I would love to see how you work your way out of this one," says Roman as my phone starts to ring.

I pull it out and see that it's Ana calling. I don't answer the phone and let it go to voicemail. A couple minutes later I hear an alert for the voicemail. "It is Ana."

"So why didn't you answer it?"

"Because I am scared," I say as I hit the voicemail icon to listen to it. "What if she knows?"

"Your problem, Uce," he says, "I told you. You'll learn."

"Thanks," I say as I listen to the voicemail.

"Hey, Jon, it's your WIFE," she says with emphasis on the word wife and I can hear it in her voice she is upset. "When you get home we have to talk, you know what two people do when they want to make things work. We need to TALK," she says, "I don't know why you didn't answer your phone but when you get home we'll have a nice discussion and when I say a nice discussion I mean I will talk you'll listen."

"She knows," I say as I hang it up. "She knows."

"You're in trouble," says Roman, "You better make it right."
