Chapter 3- My New Job

~ Monday: May 1, 2017 ~

I walked into the arena for RAW. I was nervous. What of they didn't want me in their group? What if they already had their own routine and I was messing that up for them? I got my hair and makeup done which I usually never do and then got dressed for the interviews tonight. I sat in a chair waiting for the camera crew to get here and my guests.

"Well, don't you look beautiful."

I turned around as Jon approached me. My first guest for the night.

"Thank you."

He smiled as he sat down across from me. "You nervous?"

He motioned to my hands grasping my phone. I looked down. I hadn't even noticed I had been shaking. I was never nervous but something about this new task left me almost unable to breathe.

"I'm fine."

"Don't put on that fake bravado with me, Marci. I can tell you're scared but it is going to be fine."

"Yeah, maybe."

"Hey, it will. You don't think I wasn't nervous when I was put in my first big match. I was scared out of my mind. But I got through it and so will you."

I nodded and tried to force my hands to stop shaking.

"Well, look who is here?"

I saw Joe walk towards us and sit down in another chair. Only one seat left. Only one last person to arrive. And the one I was the most disgusted with.

"So, this is our big reunion, huh?"

And that was when I heard that annoying voice. I turned to see Colby come over to us.

"Looks like it. What's up man?" Joe pulled Colby into something of a hug before Colby sat down in the last chair. The chair closest to me.

"Well, hey, Marci. So, you're the person who is going to bring back The Shield, huh?"

"Looks like it, Colby."

"Well that means we will get to spend more time with each other then."

"Yeah, sadly."

"Aw, don't be like that."

He tried to put an arm around me but I stood up from my chair.

"I have to go prepare."

I walked off and heard the guys laughing as I left. You can do this, Marci. Paul told you that this is just temporary. You just have to get The Shield back together and then in two to three months, you can go back to journalism for a little while and then you can wrestle. You can do this.

"So, Dean. At the end of RAW last week, Seth attacked you. Are you going to get revenge on him tonight?"

"You know what, Marcella. I'm going to let Seth be for now."

"No offense, Dean, but you have never let things go easily."

He laughed. "Maybe I'm a changed man."

"Come on, Dean. Let's be serious. What are your plans for Seth?"

"I guess we'll see, won't we? See ya, later."

Jon winked and then walked off and I prepared myself for the interview with Joe.

"Roman, you have a huge match tonight. Tonight you fight against a formal rival of yours, AJ Styles. Are you ready?"

"I am. I am very ready for this. AJ Styles might be 'Phenomenal' but I'm so much better."

"And what happens if you don't beat him?"

Sadness filled his eyes for a couple of seconds before he smiled again. "I'll beat him. See you, baby girl."

He put a hand on my shoulder before walking off. One left and the one I dreaded the most.

"Seth, Dean said that he was going to forget what happened on RAW last week. You're lucky. That man has literally tried to end your career several times. Is it smart to be picking fights with Dean?"

"Marci, while I was on the shelf with my injury last year, I took some time to figure out where I was at and what really mattered to me."

"And what really matters to you?"

"You'll see. I got to go. We done here?"

I nodded and Colby walked off set.
