"I'm ready to be glammed up JJ!" I smile and sit down in her chair, "Well, okay then." She smiles and opens her bag of hair products as Leslie walks over. "Well, my two favorite girls Adriana and Eva." She smiles as Jackie begins to braid my hair. "Hi Lee!" I smile and wave as she opens her bag of makeup, "I just saw Eric, he was very busy showing everyone your recent picture on Instagram and obsessing over it." She laughs and grabs the foundation, squeezing some onto the back of her hand before putting it on my face.
"No he was not." I say and Jackie laughs, "Honey, he was. He was even drooling too." Leslie smiles and blends the foundation into my skin with a beauty blender. "Aw." Eva says and takes another sip of her Starbucks, as Leslie grabs her cream contour kit and her brushes. "He's such a dork." I say and look up at the ceiling as Leslie puts the whitish yellow cream under my eyes, and Jackie starts to braid on the other side of my head.
"You two are the cutest couple ever." Jackie adds and I smile, "Thanks JJ." I say and Leslie begins to blend everything out. "Well, your hair is done and did you finish that protein shake." Jackie asks and puts her stuff back in her bag before putting some hairspray on my braids. "Yes I did." I say and she grabs the empty bottle from me, "Good." She says and throws it in the garbage can as Leslie starts to put on my eyeshadow.
"Thanks for the beautiful hair JJ, love you." I smile and high five Jackie before she walks down the hall towards where the boys usually are. "You're gonna look so good out there." Leslie says and grabs another eyeshadow brush, "Do you want red or pinkish colored lips?" She asks as she adds another eyeshadow color onto my eyelids. "Pinkish." I say as she nods, and puts down the eyeshadow brushes.
"Look up." She says and grabs the mascara, applying a generous amount on both sets of my eyelashes. She puts the tube of mascara down and grabs the pinkish liquid lipstick, "Eric, I told you she's not done yet. You gotta wait big boy." A voice says from behind where Eva is sitting.
"Please Jackie, she's my world." I hear Eric plead and you can tell he's pouting, "Fine, but don't touch her hair." Jackie gives in and I sigh. "Oh joy." Leslie laughs and applies the liquid lipstick on my top and bottom lips, "How you doin'?" Eric smiles as he gets closer to me. "Hey tough guy." I smile and he goes to kiss me, "Ah, ah. I've got lipstick drying." I say and he frowns. "Sorry." I laugh and shrug as Eva high fives Billy.
"Highlight, yes no?" Leslie asks as she holds up a hot pink compact, "Yes please." I say and she opens the compact, grabbing the highlight on her fan brush and adding it on the tip of my nose, my Cupid's bow, and my cheek bones. "Thanks Lee." I smile and hop out of the chair, "Somebody looks hot." Eric chuckles and hands me my coat as I put in my earrings and tie my choker around my neck.
"Thanks baby." I blush and put on my coat, "10 more minutes Addi." Eva says and ties her hair up in a ponytail. "Okay thanks Eva, I'm gonna go take a selfie real quick." I say and jog over to the door that says exit, I push it open and walk outside. I take a deep breath and pull my phone out of my coat pocket, swiping up to reveal the camera.
I look over at a light post and take the picture multiple times, "Cute." I smile to myself and open Instagram to post the picture.

@AdrianaWWE : Glammed up and ready to watch my boys take down the Vaudevillians😈 @wweaallday21 @bigcasswwe
I turn off my phone and run back inside as I see Eric and Billy standing with Stephanie, "Hi Stephanie." I smile and set my phone down on the chair I was sitting on a few minutes ago. "Hey Adriana, I was just telling the boys that I'd like to finally give you and Enzo a storyline. I know you two are dating, so I figured why not give you guys a storyline. We're not gonna do it tonight, but we'll do it in Pittsburgh. Now, I know that's a while a way but it's your hometown and the execs and I thought it would be a great idea to introduce the Enzriana storyline." Stephanie says and I raise an eyebrow.
"Enzriana?" I ask and she laughs, "It's your ship name." She says and I nod. "Okay then." I laugh with her as Eric grabs my hand and Billy chuckles. "Now, go have a good match." She smiles before walking away, "Well then, are you ready baby?" I ask and grab my phone.
"Totally." He says and I smile up at him, "I'll be right back, I wanna give Eva my phone." I say and quickly peck him on the cheek before jogging down the hall to see Eva sitting on a couch watching the TV screen. "Hey best friend, can you watch my phone?" I ask and she turns around, "Of course, tell the boys I said good luck." She smiles and I toss her my phone. "Thanks E, will do!" I yell and jog back down the hall to meet Eric and Billy again, "Showtime." I smile and we walk over towards the stage entrance.
"Quick prayer?" I turn to the boys and smile as they both nod, I grab each of their hands and we bow our heads. "Please protect these two boys tonight as they enter the ring, keep an eye out for them. Give them the strength to beat the Vaudevillians and come out of the ring safely. Ne nome del Padre, del Figlio, e dello Spirito Santo. Amen." I say and finish off in Italian as the boys say, "In the name of the father, son, and Holy Spirit. Amen."
"Okay." I say and make the sign of the cross as someone hands Eric and Billy their microphones, "In 3..2..1!" The same person yells and their intro music begins to play. The crowd starts screaming and cheering as we walk out, Eric becomes Enzo and runs around with his hand in the air. Billy becomes Big Cass, a serious look on his face as Enzo runs up in front of him.
"Here comes Enzo, Big Cass, and wait a minute, is that Adriana?" The announcers exclaim as we walk towards the ring, "Just yesterday they hated each other!" Another announcer chimes in as we stop on the runway. "My name is Enzo Amore, and I am a certified G, and a bonafide stud. And you can't teach that!" He yells into the microphone as I cross my arms and stick my hip out.
"And this right here, this is Big Cass, and he's 7 foot tall, and you can't teach that!" He yells again, "And this right here, this is Adriana, and she's a damn princess, and you can't teach that!" He yells and the crowd cheers even louder. "Bada boom, realest guys in the room! How you doin'!" He yells for the last time before him and Billy get into the ring.
2 Minutes Into The Fight
"Come on Enzo, you got em!" I scream and clap as Eric tries to grab Aiden English who tags in Simon Gotch, "Come on Zo!" I yell and put my hand in the air as Simon grabs a crawling Eric and leads him towards the center of the ring before launching him into the ropes.
Everything becomes silent and it feels like I'm watching in slow motion as Eric hits his face hard off the 2nd rope before the back of his head slams to the mat and he falls to the ground in a heap. My heart drops into the pit of my stomach as the ref jumps down to see if he's okay, and Billy runs over to him.
My eyes widen as the ref calls for the bell and a medic jogs over to check on Eric as Kofi, Big E, and Xavier walk over to me. "Don't cry on me Adriana, he'll be okay." Xavier says and I push them out of the way as I run over to Eric. He's out cold, and the medic motions for the stretcher to come down.
"Baby, baby come on. Baby, please get up." I say and Billy slowly pulls me away from him as they put a neck brace around his neck and get the stretcher lowered down, I wrap my arms around Billy and sob as they get Eric onto the stretcher and put an oxygen mask over his face.
They quickly, but carefully wheel him up the runway and Billy and I follow. They take him backstage and towards the EMT, they get him into the back of the van with care and I stand with Billy tears flowing out of my eyes right now. "You his girlfriend?" One of the medics asks me and I nod my head, "Go in with him." He says and I let go of Billy as he helps me up into the back of the EMT.
I sit down on the left side of him as one of the medics begins to check his pulse and stuff like that, "Eric, move your fingers if you can hear me." He says and I watch as Eric slightly wiggles his fingers. I put my head in my hands and the medic nods, "Your girlfriend is here, she's going with you to the hospital." He says and I lean over and look into Eric's bluish, greenish eyes.
"Hi mio amore." I say and hold his hand as he smiles weakly, "You're gonna be okay baby, I promise." I smile back at him and run my hand against his cheek. "Ti amo." I smile again and say 'I love you' in Italian.
