Takeover

Chapter 7: Debut

Cassidy half squatted near the center of the ring. Sweat dripping off her face. Her hair flayed and matted everywhere. But that didn't matter. Cassidy was waiting. Waiting for her opponent to rise from the spot she was standing in. The woman did as was expected. The moment she turned around, Cassidy lunged forward with the ferocity of a tigress. Not even needing the momentum from rebounding off the ropes, Cassidy smashed her shoulder into the abdomen of her adversary, the impact sent a chill-inducing sound to the ears of the audience who responded with loud cheers. They've just witnessed the unfolding of a set up to a finisher they've now become familiar with. Cassidy stood up from the body she had just speared, now underneath her. She turned around to see the small framed brunette she called her best friend, smiling sweetly and holding her hand out for the tag. Once the tag was made, the audience once again roared as Cammi effortlessly jumped from her spot all the way to the top rope. Cassidy walked out of the ring to a place where she could both enter if something went wrong or make sure her opponent's partner didn't interfere. Cammi performed her Shooting Star Press and hooked the legs for the three count. Ding ding ding! The two girls were no longer strangers to winning, but the sound of that bell was music to their ears every single time. They did per usual: held their hands high in the air together, broke off to different corners to do the same, and take in the crowd's love as they left. Same old same old. They loved it every time.

Coach usually approached them after every match to congratulate them and tell them to get to the showers. Today was different. This time he looked nervous.

"Hey, Coach. Is something wrong?" Cammi asked, her eyebrows raised in curiosity and worry.

"Uh no,no. Nothing's wrong. We just have a visitor today. A very important visitor," he narrowed his eyes and motioned towards the right with them, telling both girls to discreetly look that way.

They, of course, were not discreet at all, whipping their heads in a painfully obvious way to look behind them. They spotted a man in a suit, nothing much else to him: he was an older gentleman who was just scouting the scene. Scouting. Scouting.

Cassidy jumped at the realization and turned back to face Coach who now had his face in a hand out of embarrassment. Cammi, however, did not catch on as quickly.

"Who is that man?" she asked.

"That, my girls, is a talent scout. But not just any. A talent scout from WWE. Don't get overconfident or anything, but he seemed to be pretty interested in your match tonight," he stated slowly and cautiously so as not to excite them too much.

"You're kidding," Cammi breathed, a smile lighting up her face. "I'm gonna go introduce myself!"

"What are you crazy?" Cassidy grabbed Cammi's wrist as she walked forward. "You can't just interrupt the man when he's doing his job!"

Cammi grumbled but she knew Cassidy was right. She'll have to wait to get a word in.

Hours passed before they even got a chance to speak, but Cammi, being the charmer that she is, seemed to weave a spell with words that spoke to him. After all was said and done on their introduction, they got down to business. Apparently, WWE was in need of more talent, particularly in the diva's division. They were reluctant to bring in the divas from NXT, for the reasons the man was not willing to speak of, but it was great news to both Cammi and Cassidy. That night was the night they were offered a contract with WWE, set to start immediately. For what reason, they weren't sure, but it was an opportunity that never happened to anyone. Ever. This was a chance and they were going to take it. Sure it was a bit of a shortcut, but that didn't mean that they didn't bust their asses every day and every night ever since they began training. This was their dream and they sure as hell were gonna do it. After a heartfelt and tearful goodbye with their wrestling academy, they were immediately booked on a flight for Florida for a little practice in the performance center and then their debut on RAW.
