An opportunity gained

Chapter 18

We were now sat in a black car, but not just any old car...IT WAS A LIMO!! I've never been in one before so as you can tell I was super excited! Mark was having some champagne and offered me some but I shook my head because I didn't want to stink of it. I looked at Mark carefully, he had black trainers on, old worn out black jeans, a top that was no longer white, a tie that wasn't done up properly and a jacket that looked too small for him. He didn't look very...well...acceptable for Vince, then again he says he's done this before. 

"Take a picture, it will last longer" He said with a straight face. I playfully hit him then he just laughed. The car suddenly came to a stop, we looked at each other. My heart was racing and I felt like I had sweat running down my face. "Don't worry, just be yourself" Then he grabbed my hand but even his was sweaty, I could tell he was nervous. 

We stepped out of the car and into the sunlight, I felt like I was in a tropical island because all it does is rain in England. I smiled thinking of home. I wonder what mum and Joe are doing. 

"That's it smile" I looked at him confused but he just pulled me into the back of the arena. Then everybody was stood in front of me, people who I've admired since I was a small child, guys I grew up watching not only just on Raw and Smackdown but on PPV as well. And right now they were stood in front of me. I hadn't realised Mark has let go of me and was now nowhere to be seen. 

"Hi" I turned round startled only to find Cm Punk stood in front of me. The guy that won back-to-back Money In The Bank matches at the biggest show of the year WrestleMania, the guy that had the best character back in 2011 and gave the most memorable pipe bombs, the guy that held the WWE championship for 434 days and the guy that took The Undertaker to the limit at this year’s show of all shows. I'm speechless. "Cat got your tongue?" He said with a smile. 

"Come on Punk, we need to rehearse for tonight’s Raw!" And then I saw Daniel Bryan. Wow his beard is even bigger in real life! He's one of the guys I have the most respect for, I mean just look at him. Just 3 years ago he got introduced as the 7th member of team WWE at Summerslam and just this year he was main eventing it for the WWE championship, wow. 

"Well see you later kitty!" And he winked at me. 

"Ermm...bye" I blurted out. He stopped dead in his tracks. 

"Ahh, kitty does have a tongue" Then he carried on walking, I just shook my head. Then I turned around and saw all of the divas, some of the woman I could be working with. There was Natalya, The Bella's, Naomi and Cameron and...oh...Eva. Yeah she's the one I hate. She was a model before she came to the business and now she thinks she owns the place? I know JoJo came into the business the same way but at least she's willing to work hard unlike some... 

"Are you the new girl?" I didn't realise Natalya was stood in front of me. Now I defiantly was speechless, she's the woman I idolise. She's one of the main reasons I want to be here. 

"Yes" I said in a high pitched voice, she giggled a little. 

"Don't worry about anything" She gave me a warm smile and pulled me over to where the other divas were sat. "Hey girls, we have someone new joining us" 

"Well maybe" I cut her off. 

"Tell us about yourself...ermm...what's your name?" I sat down and smiled at them all. 

"Well I'm Samantha Cornelius but you can just call me Sam. I'm from the UK which is why I sound different, I've loved wrestling ever since I was 5 years old. I idolise girls like Trish, Victoria, Lita, Michelle McCool, Karma, Beth Phoenix and even you Natalya. I still love all of you guys though and respect everything that you do. It’s my dream to be here and that's what I'm trying to achieve, hopefully Vince, Steph and Hunter will think I've got what it takes" I smiled at them all. 

"So you just got told to come here without being tried out?" Eva gave me a cold stare. 

"Well, I guess so" And she walked off. "What's her problem?" 

"Don't worry about her" I guess this was Nikki talking because not only does she have the bigger boobs but a John Cena shirt on as well. "Do you like Cena?" She asked me. Oh God what do I say? 

"Ermm...well, okay I don't. I like him and respect him outside of the ring though" And I gave her a smile. 

"Awesome" She gave me a smile back. 

"Who's this" I didn't even recognise the voice but the shoes I did. 

"AJ meet Sam" Ahh AJ Lee, the current divas champion. She inspires me too. 

"Hey!" She said bouncing up and down. "Want to meet the other divas here?"

"Okay!" Well I wasn't going to say no. So I got up and followed AJ back to the locker room where Katelyn, Layla, Tamena and Rosa were all sitting. 

"Hey girlies, I have Sam here" They all looked at her confused and then saw me and smiled. "She could be working here with us, so be nice" They all laughed. We sat and chatted for a while, then Raw was going to go on the air and I needed to be gone.

I walked back through to the food court only to be stood with the Viper and the Dead man himself...that's right Randy Orton and The Undertaker were right there. I quickly grabbed a bottle of water and tried to run but not before a tattooed arm grabbed me. 

"Hey there, where you off to?" It was Randy 

"I don't really know..." I giggled a little. 

"You can stay and chill with us if you want" I gave a quick glance to Taker who nodded. 

"Ermm...okay" So we went and sat on some black leather couches. I've got to be honest with you, I would rather be in a room with spiders than these two. 

"So why you here?" 

"I might be working here" I quietly said. 

"Doesn't sound like it" It wasn't Randy who said that, Taker. I looked up at him, another guy I grew up watching. 21-0 at WrestleMania. An 8 time champion, the 2007 Royal Rumble winner. When I was little I was shit scared of him. But not today! 

"Oh believe me when I say this, I would love to be in this business. Whether I don't come out of champion or have an amazing undefeated streak at the grandest stage of them all, this is where I belong" And I got up and walked away. But not before I heard Orton say this...

..."She's got guts, recon she could beat you at Mania?" And with that I smiled. 

"Ahh there you are kitty!" Kitty? Then I spun round and saw Punk smiling. 

"Ermm...here I am" I smiled weakly back. 

"How are you finding it here?" 

"What going around and meeting people? The hardest part, I think the part when I start wrestling will be easy" I said laughing. 

"Well I hope I see you around" And then he walked off. 

"Right we better be getting back now" I was so happy to see Mark!

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL DAY MARK?!" I didn't mean to shout it just came out.

"Calm down, I was talking to Vince!" 

"WHAT THAT TOOK LIKE 7500 HOURS?!" I know a little over the top, but I was worried. 

"Yes!" And he laughed. 

"YOU KNOW I DON-" But he cut me off. 

"Shut up with your shouting and get in the car!" The journey home was quiet, it had been a long hard day, and yes meeting people is sort of hard. Now I just wanted my bed, I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
