Arriving in Chicago for Raw I make my way to the divas locker room with Saraya. Nicole and Brie are already inside when we arrive. "Brie, your back." I say excitedly.

"I am." She confirms.

"How was your honeymoon?"

"Fantastic, but it's good to be back."

"How's Brian doing?" I ask. "I'm so sorry."

"He's doing what he can, but they are giving him some time off after tonight to plan the funeral and organise things."

"I'm sorry." I repeat. "If there is anything you guys need, don't hesitate to ask."

"Thanks you're a good friend."

We make our way to Mark's office for our weekly meeting. "Morning ladies." Jane greets.

"Three weeks out from Extreme Rules, it will be Sarah vs Paige for the championship." Mark begins.

"Tonight's match will be Paige versus Alicia and after the match Sarah will come out and cut a promo." Jane announces. "On Mainevent, it will be Nikki vs Tamina. And on Smackdown it will be Sarah vs Aksana."

"That's all for today ladies have a good show." Mark dismisses us and we leave.

After our meeting I make my way to merch as I have a meeting regarding my new shirt that's about to be released and tonight I'll be advertising it for the first time. I make it to the merch team and take one of the shirts out and place it against my body. It's a white T-shirt with a big red kiss with XOXO on the front and on the back it's got DEADLY BEAUTIFUL in black bold letters.

I put the top on and its perfect. I finish off the look with high waisted skinny jeans and grey knee high boots. Once I'm dressed I head to hair and make-up where Amy does my hair in long curls and my make-up has a gold smoky eye.

Once I'm ready I head to catering to get some food. I walk in with Nattie and we run into Colby, Jon and Joe. "Watch out it's the Sheild." I joke.

"Ha-ha." Colby laughs. "Nice shirt."

"Thanks, if you would like one they will be available on WWE Shop in two weeks."

"No match tonight?" Jon asks.

"Just a promo."

"When's your next match?" Joe asks.

"Smackdown." I answer.

"Are you happy you're working with Saraya?" Jon asks.

"I am, she's great. She knows what she's doing, and she wants to do big things, so it'll be interesting to see how the match goes."

"I'm sure whatever you two come up with it will be great." Colby assures.

"It will." I agree.

About an hour later Saraya and Victoria are given the signal to head to the gorilla. Victoria goes first and once the commercial break has finished, Paige's music hits and she walks out to a huge reaction from the crowd. The match begins and it's back and forth until Paige gets the upper hand and takes control. She eventual wins by submission and I'm given my cue.

The crowd erupt as I walk out with a mike in my hand and my title on my shoulder. "Look who's here." Cole alerts.

"Our Divas Champion! It looks like she has a few words to say." Jerry observes.

"I like her shirt." JBL compliments.

"Well done Paige you're starting to prove yourself here, it's what I want to see." I start off. "But there's still a decision you have to make. I see you're still holding your NXT title." I point out. "This is the big leagues Paige, not NXT." I enforce. "When you fight me at Extreme Rules, you're fighting for my title. I want the fans to know who really is the best diva in this company, and to do that you need relinquish your NXT title." I advise. "We only need one champion here and at Extreme Rules we will find out who really is the best." I finish and drop my mike.

"Sarah has a point." Cole admits.

"I agree." JBL agrees. "Sarah has made some valid points if you want to be the best you have to beat the best, I think Paige will do the right thing and relinquish her title."

"We will have to wait and see, but I can already tell this is going to be one hell of a match." Jerry predicts.

Once the show is over we start packing up our stuff. A knock is heard at the door and Nicole answers it. She smiles. "Rena, it's for you." She alerts.

"Coming." I respond zipping up my bag. I walk over to the door and I scream. "OMG, Phoebe! What are you doing here?"

"I kinda missed you so I wanted to surprise you." She says hugging me.

"Omg, that's so exciting, I'm so glad your here, we just finished the show."

"I saw."

"We were just leaving, do you want to join us for some food?" I ask her. She nods. I turn back into the locker room. "Saraya we have an extra."

"Sounds fun." Saraya chuckles and we leave.

Saraya, Phoebe and I arrive at a little diner in town and order some food. "Glad to be finished filming for a bit?" I ask her while taking a bite. She laughs at my hunger. "Don't laugh at me, I'm starving."

"Yes, I'm glad to be finished for a bit." she responds.

"How long do you have off?"

"A couple weeks."

"That's great, what are you doing?"

"Just cooling off, clearing my head, I was hoping I could come to Extreme Rules."

"Absolutely, is anyone else wanting to come?"

"Uh, just me, Paul, Leah and Ian."

"Ian, really?"

"Yeah, he said he loves being at the shows, so he wants to see Extreme Rules."

"Okay then, more people to cheer me on then," I tease Raya.

The next day Saraya, Phoebe and I arrive in Chicago and check in to the hotel. "You don't have anything today?" Phoebe asks.

I shake my head. "No I have Smackdown tomorrow, so you can either stay and explore or you can come to the taping?" I suggest.

"I'll do the second one."

"You just want to see the superstars don't you."

She giggles and smiles. "Maybe. It doesn't hurt to look."

I crack up. "There are a few that are easy on the eyes."

"Maybe a certain shield member." She teases and I roll my eyes playfully. "Any development?"

"No, not yet. As I've been telling everyone, I'm focusing on me and I'm focusing on my match at Extreme Rules." I remind her. "Maybe when things settle down, something might happen as we've shared a few moments, but right now it's just me and my work."

The next day Phoebe and I arrive at the arena for smackdown and make our way backstage. After a while of getting things organised for the show and leaving Phoebe to fend for herself, I venture to find her and she is talking to Colby and Joe. "Mind if I steel my friend back?" I ask.

"Go for it, see you round Phoebe." Colby responds and they walk off.

"Having fun?" I ask her.

"Sure am." she confirms. "It's a completely different atmosphere back here, it's fun." She answers. "And boy I see why you like him."

I playfully hit her. "It's time for me to get ready, will you be okay finding your seat?"

"I'm a big girl I can manage."

"I'll see you soon then."

"I'll be rooting for you."

"You better be." I laugh and walk off.

I head to hair and make-up where Amy begins to straighten my hair and once thats complete she does my make-up. I then put on my gear, which is a purple and black long sleeved crop top with black fish nets for the sleeves and matching shorts.

I make my way to gorilla and meet up with Ziville. She walks out first, then once the commercial ends my music starts and the crowd erupts.

I walk out to a huge reaction from the crowd and stand at the top of the ramp and raise my title above my head. "And her opponent, from Seattle Washington, she's the Divas Champion, Sarah." Lillian announces.

I jump onto the apron and face the crowd and blow them a kiss. I place my title in my corner and the ref asks us we are ready and he rings the bell. "This match is underway." Cole announces.

Aksana and I circle one another and we lock up. I use my strength and push her into the corner ropes and get counted for four. I release her and she pushes me and the crowd oohs. "Aksana just pushed Sarah out of the way, that wasn't a good idea." JBL warns.

I turn to look at her and smirk. "What are you going to do?" she taunts.

My smirk gets bigger and in an instant it drops and her eyes go wide. "We know what that means."

I pounce and take her down and start unloading punch after punch until the referee pulls me off her. "Come on." I yell out to the crowd and they cheer loudly.

"Sarah is fired up." Cole says loudly.

I run at Aksana and deliver a massive close line. "Wow." the crowd echoes as I quickly cover her. "1, 2." but she kicks out.

I pull her into a neck lock and she starts to fade, but she fights out by elbowing me in the gut. She runs the ropes and delivers a close line. Aksana covers me "1." but I kick out quickly. "Sarah kicks out." JBL announces.

The match continues on and it's back and forth and I've just delivered a nasty spine buster to Aksana in the corner. I pull her up by her hair and lift her into a fireman's carry on my shoulders. "It looks like Sarah is setting up for the Back Attack." Cole alerts. I deliver The Back Attack and she collapses to the floor. "Back Attack."

"I think this match is over." JBL guesses. Instead of covering her I stomp on her back and I set her up for The Saraniser. "Sarah is locking in The Saraniser." JBL alerts. I lock it in and arch her back further and she screams in pain. "Is Aksana going to tap?"

I feel her hand start to tap and the referee rings the bell. "Here is your winner by submission, the Divas Champion, Sarah." Lillian announces.

After the show is over I find Phoebe. "You did great." She praises.

"Thanks." I thank. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yes, where are you headed?"

"New York." I answer.

"You actually travel a lot."

"I do."

"Have you been overseas yet?"

"No I haven't, but in a few months we are going to Europe and touring over there for two weeks."

"How exciting."

"Any dream place to go to?"

"So many but Paris and Rome are on the top of my list."

"You'll love Paris."

"You've been?"

"Yes. The shows have fan conventions every year."

"Cool." I finish. "We better go."

"Let's go then."
