It's been five months since Anita and Finn divorced. Irelynn stays with Anita and Finn visits every weekend when he's in town. A month after the divorce, Anita had a miscarriage. She believes that the stress she tried so hard to not get to her lead up to it. Anita started working backstage at NXT so she would be home with Irelynn. That's where she met Damian.
Damian met Anita one NXT taping where she was helping out one of the girls with their gear.
"You do nice work." Anita jumped and turned around. "I didn't mean to scare you." Damian said with a chuckle. "You startled me." She said. "Do you need help with something?" She asked, placing the garment down. She was dressed in"No. I just wanted to talk to you. You're very beautiful." Anita blushed, but then sighed. "I'm sorry. If you're looking for a relationship with me, I can't. I just got divorced." Anita told him. "I know. You were married to Bálor, right?" He asked. Anita nodded. "I'm not going to push you to date me or whatever. I just wanted to talk to you." Damian told her. Anita smiled. "I'd like someone to talk to." She said. As she sewed, she and Damian talked. He liked how held up she was after losing her baby and her marriage. "How are you holding up?" Damian asked her. Anita looked up, then looked back down at the garment. "I'm holding. It's not the first time I lost a baby." Anita told him. "It is the first time my marriage fell apart though." Damian put his hand over hers. "I really am sorry about that." Anita shrugged. "It is what it is. I think he married me because I was pregnant." Anita told him. Damian scoffed. "That's not a good reason to marry someone." He said. Anita chuckled. "Yeah. Tell me about it." Candice came back for her jacket and smiled. "This is perfect! You can't even tell I snagged it on my car! Thank you so much!" She said, hugging Anita. "You're welcome. It's what I'm here for." Anita told her. She ran off and Damian smiled. "You didn't tell me you were working the costume department." He said. "I'm not. I'm sometimes backstage help for the girls. I mostly help Mr. Regal with the women's division." Anita told him. "So you came up with the Women's War Games match?" He asked. "Yeah. I also was the one to push for the women to do Hell In A Cell, TLC, and more men type matchups." Damian nodded. "Badass."
"Thank you. So, any match for you tonight?" Anita asked. Damian nodded. "Will you be watching?" Anita nodded. "You're matches are awesome. I enjoy watching you." Anita told him. Damian smiled. Mr. Regal walked up to them a few minutes later.
