Faded

August 1st

"Hey Addi, ready for tonight?" Mercedes smiles as I make my way down the hallway, my hair up in curlers as I take a sip of my protein shake. "Yes and no." I laugh slightly as she shakes her head and laughs, "You and Eric are a tag team, I'd be freaking out." She says as I roll my eyes jokingly. "I have to admit, being in a team with my boyfriend is pretty great." I laugh as Mercedes smiles, "I knew it, now go get ready." She says and smacks my butt playfully before walking away.

I laugh and shake my head, taking another sip of my protein shake as I walk down towards Leslie, Jackie, and Eric, "Hello children." I smile as they both look over at me. "Hey babe." Eric smiles as Jackie smiles widely, "I think the curlers have been in long enough, my scalp is burning." I say as Leslie and Eric laugh, and Jackie sits me down in the makeup chair.

"You said you were wearing the camo outfit tonight, right?" Leslie asks and opens her bag of makeup and supplies, before pulling out primer and foundation. "Yeah, I've always wanted to wear that one. It's my favorite." I say and take a sip of my protein shake as Jackie begins to take out the curlers in my hair, Leslie begins to apply my makeup, and Eric is going over his promo for tonight.

"I heard a little rumor that you changed your entrance and music." Jackie says as she places the curlers down on the makeup table, "Yeah, wanna hear it?" I ask and pull my phone out from the pocket in my hoodie. I unlock it and click on music, the name of my new entrance song is Royalty. I click play and it begins to play, Italian royalty music plays for a few seconds before the beat drops and the beat sounds like the beat to the song Purple Lamborghini. "A-D-R-I-A-N-A, the name of a queen. Never forget."

I mouth along to the rap as Eric nods his head, the music stops and Jackie claps. "I love it." Leslie and her both say at the same time. I smile and grab Eric's hand as he chuckles, "It's the beginning of a new era, and what better way to kick it off then changing up a few things." I smirk and peck Eric on the lips.

30 Minutes Later

My new music begins to play as I fix my hat and make sure the championship belt is around my waist, the beat drops and I run out. I throw my arms up in the air and spin around as the beat continues to blast throughout the arena as I point to one side of the arena, then to the other side before bringing my hands in front of me and throwing my head back as my pyrotechnics go off. Red, white, and green lights lighting up everything around me as I walk to the ring.

The crowd cheers and screams as my new entrance continues to blare, I get into the ring and stand in the middle before doing the same exact thing I did as soon as I got out here. My music cuts off as I take off the belt and hold it up in the air proudly, "This is all me! I did it! I earned this!" I scream as the crowd screams and claps.

The ref hands me a microphone and I put the belt over my shoulder, "I've dreamt about winning the Women's Championship ever since Trish Stratus held the title, I dreamt about begin apart of the Divas revolution and now I'm apart of the Women's revolution, and I'm standing in this ring in front of all you people as the WWE Women's Champion." I say proudly and look around at all the people in the arena.

Just then a certain someone's entrance music starts playing and Charlotte walks out, microphone in hand as she scowls at me. I roll my eyes and fix the belt as she walks to the ring, I look down at my sharp matte black nails as she climbs into the ring.

"What's the matter Charlotte? You look pretty mad, but I can't seem to put my finger on why." I say and put my finger on the belt as she rolls her eyes and scowls, "I was the very best for over 300 days. You see sweetheart, you capitalized on one mistake. But, you see sweetheart, it's one thing to take home the prom king and it's another to get him to put a ring on your finger. And that's what you are Adriana, you're just a one night stand." She growls and I laugh.

"You're the daughter of Ric Flair, if it wasn't for a one night stand you probably wouldn't be standing here." I say and the crowd explodes with 'Oh's' and cheers. Then another entrance music begins and I cross my arms over my chest, Chris Jericho walks out and quickly gets into the ring.

He says a few things that I really don't pay attention to, but he crosses the line when he decides to say. "Maybe Charlotte will send you back to the same hospital where you lost something of importance, if you know what I mean." Tears begin to well up in my eyes as they both laugh, I try to fight them back but one falls down my face and although we're reciting our scripts, Chris gives me a look of sorrow as Eric's music plays and he runs out.

I quickly wipe away the rest of the tears and stand up straighter as Eric yells his usual entrance, "My name is Enzo Amore, and I am a certified G, and a bonafide stud, and you can't teach that!" He says and puts his hand up in the air. "Bada boom, realest guy in the room, how you doin'!" He yells before running into the ring, he does his little dance move before walking over to me.

"Adriana, for real, how you doin'." He smiles and picks up my hand, placing a kiss on the top of it. I blush and smile as he lets go of my hand, "Adriana, I say you go for it sister. Rumor has it, when it comes to Enzo and his love life, there's only one word to describe him!" Charlotte laughs as I roll my eyes. "Actually that's where your wrong, sweetheart. You see, I'm apart of his love life and lemme tell ya it sure as hell ain't soft." I wink and high five Eric as the crowd laughs and Charlotte and Chris stare at me dumbfounded.

"But, aye babe. Look what we got over here, huh?" I ask as we both point at Chris and Charlotte, "Whatta we got over here, a cuppa haters, cuppa haters. Jericho, listening to you speak, time passes like a kidney stone." Eric says as I laugh and nod my head. The bickering between men continues for a few minutes before Mick Foley, one of the GM's of Raw, comes out and announces our mixed tag team match.

This is gonna be so fun, I think to myself as Chris covers Charlotte's ears.
