Corporate Suits

Your Black Knight

The door opens, revealing Sasha Banks.

"Ms. Banks. How may I assist you?" AJ greets from her desk.

The mocha woman blinks, her red shutter shades placed atop her matching colored hair.

"I can come back later. Your hands look full with the Bellas..." She sheepishly smiles.

"You can tell me now, it's fine." April reassures.

"W-well..." Mercedes blushes, biting her lip and looking down at her multi colored kickpads.

"Banks? It looks like you're about to ask me out on a- ouch!" AJ pouts, Nicole having discreetly pinch her girlfriend's arm. That successfully shuts the New Jersey native up.

"I was wondering if you could come to NXT Takeover : Respect?" Sasha looks up.

"Of course! That's a big day in Divas history, I wouldn't miss it for the world!" April smiles. "Is that all?"

"I just wanted to make sure you were coming." Sasha's smile becomes brighter, Nicole and Brie arching a curious brow at the woman. "Ehem." Mercedes clears her throat, "a-and you guys too. If that isn't a problem..." She then asks the twins.

"No problem."

"We'll be there." Nikki answers after her sister. Mercedes leaves with a wave.

"Well that was weird."

What makes a Knight a Knight?

His deeds? How noble he is?

How can you judge someone's nobility based off of the things he's done?

In this world, there's opposition. No matter how many people side with something, there's always that one person to counteract the status quo.

Are you that one?

Roman would think so, yes.

As he sits in Stephanie McMahon's office, a bruised Daniel Bryan sitting next to him he thinks over what he's done.

Technically, he's in the wrong given that he threw the first punch. Even saying that Daniel provoked him wouldn't help, since Daniel was just responding from Roman's opening statement about signs.

"An unauthorized fist fight and injury of another talent in the process." Stephanie starts. "If you were in my shoes, what would your punishment be Daniel?"

"Me? I didn't start it!" Bryan exclaims.

"What are you, five? Just answer the damn question." Roman grumbles. Daniel glares at Joe.

"Excuse me Mr. Danielson, Joe doesn't sign your paycheck, I do. And I just asked you a question." Stephanie huffs.

"...A suspension wouldn't be bad..." He hesitates.

"Says the already dormant wrestler."

"Joe!" The McMahon scolds, smacking her hand against the desk. He relents with a grunt. "What would be your suggestion?"

"I think a fine."

"Would you be able to handle it? I don't think cheerleading pays well." Daniel snickers, Roman standing and crowding the veteran again.

"You lay one hand on each other and this is the last time you'll see your name under WWE Talent." She threats, Roman sitting. "So. I've thought of something better. Daniel, you and Roman are now tag team partners."

Sitting on an equipment crate with her feet swinging in the air is Mercedes. A lot has been on her mind lately, with the main roster move and finishing up her life in NXT.

It's a shame that they're leaving one of the Four Horse Women behind, but they leave Bayley with her being a champion.

The Main Roster has been welcoming her with open arms, both male and female alike.

The fans, they've been the only constant in her life at the moment. But she wouldn't complain even if she could, simply because she's grateful for where she is.

"Hey girly." Trinity's poking her thigh, Tamina behind her cousin with a smile.

"Hey guys." Mercedes smiles.

"You look like you belong on a Drake music video." Tamina comments, causing the three women to laugh. "What's got you so deep in thought anyway?"

"Nothing really. Just counting my blessings." The Boss answers. "I'm just..." Sasha blinks rapidly, willing the familiar burn in her eyes away. "Really grateful..." She gives a defeated sigh, the tears rolling down her face.

Naomi gives a watery smile, near the point of crying as well as she pulls Sasha down for a loving hug.

"I mean...this has always been a dream... *sniffle* to be here doing what I love..." More sniffles and sobs, Trin having shedded tears as well. Tamina looks on with a smile.

"As long as you remember your roots. Remember why you're in the WWE, how you got into the WWE, and you'll do just fine, KV." Naomi gives some advice.

Brianna sits in the locker room, listening to her husband rant about the meeting he just left from.

"I mean- us?! Teaming together?! What the hell was she thinking?!" Daniel rages. "It absolutely makes no-"

"Yeah Daniel, I'm doing fine." She cuts off.

He stops, frowning and pushing his lips to the left side of his face in confusion. "That's...good? I guess?"

She huffs angrily. But before she could chew him out on being an insensitive ass the door opens, and there's Roman Reigns again.

"Came for another round? Or are you here to apologize?" The Yes!Man smirks.

"Fuck you, you goat." Roman swears. He directs his attention to Brie. "How's your wrist? You didn't hurt it bad, did you?" The man's voice has changed from bitter and raw to soft and mellow for the Bella.

"It's healing." Brie nods from her seat on the far right. Daniel looks down and notices the bandage tape.

"My wife's well-being isn't your business." Bryan steps up.

"Apparently it wasn't yours either since you caused it." Roman shoots back. "You didn't even ask her, did you?"

"Get the hell out of my business and out of my life!" He yells, covering up his mistake he was just called out on. "As for your information, I did ask her, and I know how she's feeling. It's none of your concern."

Joe nods, "I'll be seeing you around a lot more often Danny, and now I'm getting happy about it. Because I get to see your lovely wife too." He gives Brie a smile, "See you later Sunshine." Brianna finds herself blushing at the nickname.

AJ contemplates her choices before scribbling the last Divas match and sending it to be officiated for the night.

Nikki Bella versus Sasha Banks versus Charlotte
( Divas Championship )
-------

A/N : I'm a pimp named Slickback

Nicole could be snatched out of a historic title reign! What's AJ's reasoning for booking it? On the other hand, Sasha could be Divas Champion, and so could Charlotte! How will Nikki take the news?

Brie and Roman perhaps? And Daniel's a bit of an ass, yes, but he's overprotective of his wife so bear with him~
