WWE The Shield's Recruitment: Behind The Scenes

Week 51: Pushing The Envelope

"Here is your winner...Stephanie Skye."

Stephanie heads to the backstage area to meet up with the guys after her handicap match.

"Nice match out there." Dean compliments her.

"Thanks," She wipes the sweat from her head.

"Good work keeping your stamina up."

She smiles, "Well thanks to you I had a lot of practice with that." Dean raises an eyebrow, "I'm just kidding."

Later...

Stephanie is with Kharma and Mark as they prepare to film their segment.

"So Stephanie, you are going to be answering questions from Renee as usual and then Kharma is going to come in to attack you from behind, so just a usual brawl which leads to Kharma being triumph along with the Wyatts standing over you."

Stephanie nods her head but Kharma clears her throat, "What if dying the brawling I toss her into those lockers and slam her into a table."

Mark shakes his head, "Let's just keep it safe I don't want to risk any injuries to Stephanie."

"I mean if she can't handle it then we can keep it simple but it would be more interesting to have it end that way."

Stephanie sense that challenge that Kharma is laying out for her to go to the extreme. She scoffs, "It's fine, Mark. I can take the beating."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, it'll put more fuel to the fire."

He shrugs his shoulders, "Alright I guess it's not as bad as falling off a ladder. Just be careful."

"How do you feel your odds are against Kharma?"

Before Stephanie can answer the question she's jumped by Kharma, who hits her in the back of the head with you forearm. Stephanie gets to her feet and tries to defend herself with some forearm shots but Kharma brushes them off. Kharma grabs her by the vest and lifts her off her feet to slam her into a set of lockers three times before dropping her on the ground. The Wyatt Family joins Kharma as they stand tall over Stephanie.

"Finish her off." Bray whispers to Kharma.

Stephanie crawls to an open crate to get herself up and prepare for the slam through the table. Suddenly Kharma comes around the crate and grabs the lid. Before Stephanie can realize where her hand is, Kharma slams the lid on her hand. She lets out a loud scream in pain.

"What the hell was that? That wasn't part of the plan."

She clutches her hand to her chest until Kharma brings her to her feet.

"Alright, you wanna change the script? I can do that too."

Stephanie spits in her face feeling a little more satisfied until Kharma lifts her high in the air and slams her into a table, splitting it in half.

Meanwhile, Dean is watching the whole segment unfold as is shocked to see Stephanie being tossed around like that. It wasn't planned when they left her.

"What just happened?" He thinks to himself as he sees Stephanie lying there. "Is she okay?" Dean asks the doctor.

Later that night...

Stephanie is leaving the medical room after getting her hand checked out.

"What was that about?" Dean asks coming up from behind her.

Stephanie hides her bruised hand, "What?"

"That whole segment."

"We made some changes to make it more exciting."

Dean takes her hands from behind her back, "This wasn't planned. I know, I talked to Mark and he was just as concerned as I was."

"So," she snatches her hand back, "it was improvised."

"Why didn't you say anything about it?"

"Because the last thing I wanted was to go crying to mommy and daddy about it. I can handle it. Besides, it was good for TV." She says before walking away.

Dean grabs Stephanie's arm to stop her, "Stephanie, you have nothing to prove to her. Don't put your body at risk for the ratings. Trust me when I tell you that's it's not worth it."

Stephanie doesn't reply. She simply shakes him off her and continues to walk towards the women's locker room.
