It's been two weeks since my birthday and it's the start of Wrestlemania week. It's starting to set in, that on Sunday I'll be wrestling in my first ever Wrestlemania for the Divas Championship.
Tonight is the Wrestlemania 30 press conference which will be streamed live on the WWE network and all us ladies are going to be there. We arrive at the Hard Rock Café and there are dozens of media personnel waiting to snap photos of us.
We pose together making our way down to the entrance, when out the corner of my eye, I catch a little girl waving at me. She realises I've spotted her and the smile on her face grows. I walk over to her and she starts jumping up and down. "Sarah." She squeals.
"Hello." I greet.
"Mummy its Sarah." She says excitedly.
I glance at the mother and she sends me a warm smile. "What's your name?"
"Olivia."
"How old are you?"
"I'm 9."
"She's a very big fan of yours." her mother mentions.
"I want to be just like you when I grow up."
I smile. "Would you like me to sign your shirt?"
"Please."
I bend down and sign her shirt. "There."
"I want to be a WWE Diva too."
"Do you?"
She nods. "You're my idol and I want to be just as pretty as you."
"Sweetie you already are and I don't doubt you won't do anything you put your mind to." I encourage. "How about a quick photo?" I suggest. She nods excitedly and we quickly pose and I'm escorted inside.
The next morning I wake up and get ready for my second scheduled appearance for the week. Today I'm going on Live with Kelly&Michael with Brie and Nikki promoting Wrestlemania and the new season of Total Divas.
I'm wearing a long sleeved black velvet dress with white stilettos and my hair is in long waves flowing down my back with a subtle smokey eye.
Once I'm ready, I meet up with Brie and Nicole who are speaking with Kelly Ripa. "There she is." Nicole alerts.
"Hi." I greet.
"It's nice to meet you Serena." Kelly greets.
"You too."
"Are you informed about what we will be discussing?"
"Yes."
"Great." she smiles. "It's lovely to see you all, I'll see you out there." Kelly finishes and walks off.
About ten minutes later we are escorted backstage and the show starts. A short while later Kelly and Michael start to introduce us. "Please welcome our first guests, WWE Divas and stars of E's hit reality show, Total Divas, Brie and Nikki Bella the Bella Twins and Sarah." Kelly welcomes out.
The crowd cheers loudly as the Total Divas theme comes on and we walk out. The audience stands up and cheers us as we make our way to our seats. "Wow you three are just beautiful." Michael compliments us as we take our seats.
We all laugh. "Thank you Michael."
"How's your week been?"
"Crazy busy." I respond.
"But it's all worth it." Nikki adds.
"So Nikki, Brie you two have been with WWE for a while now?" Kelly asks.
"We have." Brie confirms.
"We actually took some time off for a bit, but we came back around the same time that Sarah started." Nicole adds.
"And Sarah you debuted after Wrestlemania last year right?" Michael asks.
"I did." I confirm.
"What was it like?" Kelly asks.
"Very nerve racking, but once I got out there I didn't want it to stop."
"And you're injured now right?" Michael asks.
"That's correct, I've healed and I'm stronger than ever, but I just don't know when I'll be back." I lie.
"And how did you injure yourself?" Kelly asks.
"I fell off the corner turnbuckle and landed on my neck and shoulder."
"And that was for the divas title right?" Michael asks.
"Yes, I was versing Brie."
"And you broke what?" Kelly asks.
"I broke my neck and dislocated my shoulder."
"But you're still standing!" Michael expresses.
"I am. It was a very hard time for me, but I had a wonderful support team working with me through it all."
"Well look at you, you look better than ever, doesn't she everybody?" Kelly asks the audience and they cheer in agreement. I smile. "It sounds like you have a few fans."
I smile. "That I do."
"Now, you three are on Total Divas, how has that been for you, showing people your real lives?" Michael asks.
"It was intimidating at first, but after a while we got used to it." Nikki answers. "The fans see us on screen as tv characters, not as Brianna, Nicole or Serena, it gives them an insight into what we do outside of the ring." Nicole responds.
"What about you Brie?" Kelly asks.
"Nikki said it perfectly, it allows our fans to see us as real people. We show them our relationships, our fights, our hard times, our triumphs, what everyone goes through."
"And what about you Sarah, you were the newbie of the bunch for a while but you skyrocketed to fame really quickly, did that scare you?" Kelly asks me.
"Definitely. I was young when I first started my career and I was alone, but when I came to WWE and met all these lovely ladies I found a new family and being with them helped a lot." I respond.
"So Brie and Nicole you've been on every episode of Total Divas and Sarah you're on a select few has that worried you?" Michael asks.
"Not at all. I love it and still do, but I was injured and I didn't want people to see me going through the pain that I was in, because I had some serious problems to deal with, I had to work on me before I allowed any cameras in my face." I explain. "But once I was healed and got back into my training, I started filming again."
"Now back to Wrestlemania, Brie and Nicole you two are fighting for the Divas Championship, what about you Sarah?" Kelly asks.
"I haven't been informed." I lie.
"Lastly, Brie you're getting married soon right?" Michael asks.
"I am. The Friday after Wrestlemania I'm marrying Daniel Brian." Brie confirms.
"And Daniel may have two matches on Sunday?" Michael questions.
"May, no he will, and I know he's going to walk out of Wresltmania, WWE World Heavyweight Champion."
"Nicole your dating the face of the company John Cena, how are you going, you've had problems in the past?" Kelly asks.
"We are madly in love, but what relationship doesn't go through tough times." She retorts.
"Good point. Sarah is there anyone that has caught your eye?"
I smile. "Maybe, but right now I'm just focusing on myself and truthfully if it happens fate will make it happen."
"Sounds deep." Kelly jokes.
We all laugh. "I like to make things that way."
"Well that's all the time we have, thank you for coming on and Nikki and Brie good luck on Sunday." Michael concludes and we go to a commercial.
After the interview Brie, Nikki and I leave for New Orleans. We arrive late that night and make our way to the hotel. Entering the lobby, I message April to come get me from the lobby.
As I'm waiting, I feel someone tap me on my shoulder. I turn around and standing in front of me is Randy. "Randy. What are you doing here?" I question.
"I'm here for Mania, as are you." He responds.
"I know that, but why are you here in front of me, you not supposed to be in my presence?"
"Listen, can we just have a conversation without the rudeness?"
"You don't deserve a conversation from me. You treat me with no respect, so why should I talk to you?" I defend. "Now excuse me, I have somewhere other than in front of you that I need to be."
April at that moment approaches. "That looked heated." she mentions
"You don't say."
"What happened?"
"I have no idea he asked to talk, I declined and walked away."
"Good on you." April praises.
