The next few weeks were tense. Since the NXT women were called up in the main roster's stead, April didn't think it was nice nor smart to just simply ship them back off to NXT. Well, some women just had to go, they couldn't look bad on the big stage. The rumors were really spiraling- even causing some guys to pick sides and it was still shocking that AJ still hadn't heard the news.

Nicole could feel the hatred whenever she was around certain former NXT women. Which meant Carmella, Alexa Bliss, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce were most definitely on her list to watch out for. There wasn't a transition from backstage to the ring yet in terms of the war, maybe the NXT girls were planning a perfect time to try and expose Nikki and take over the main roster.

"Oy!" Nikki was sitting alone in catering when an Irish woman made her presence known next to her.

"Hey Becky." The Bella said unenthusiastic. The Lass Kicker sighs, rubbing Nicole's shoulder.

"Look, I know we aren't close, but from what I've seen, you're a good girl. It must be stressful keeping all of this away from AJ." The Latina sighs.

"Yeah."

Rebecca pulls Nicole into a hug. Nikki's a little surprised but hugs back anyway- she needs the comfort since Brie took a leave from WWE (when in actuality she took a leave from Daniel and Roman) and AJ's been busy with planning a brand split between the somewhat overcrowded women wrestlers.

"You know you can talk to me. Which seems a little creepy I'm saying it now because we haven't really talked ever but now you need a shoulder and I was just offering-"

"Becky! I get it."

"Was I rambling just now?"

Nikki laughs, "Yeah, yeah you were." The Irish woman laughs embarrassed. "It was cute. And I don't think it's creepy at all. Thanks for the comfort, but I got a match." She stands, heading towards the gorilla with a somewhat rare smile on her face.

Nikki Bella versus Carmella.

Just Nikki's luck. Maybe she should've hugged Becky a little bit longer so some of her Irish luck would rub off on her.

"Looks like we get to go at it tonight." She hears the voice she's most definitely starting to despise. "Tonight I'll show you just why you should be sent straight to NXT."

Nikki didn't give Carmella the benefit of eye contact, "You should be careful, your mouth's running a race your legs can't endure."

The Staten Island Princess cackles, "Wow, how original." She whips Nicole back with a pull on the woman's shoulder. "I'll show you that I can talk the talk, and walk the walk. This won't be the last you see of me."

"Unfortunately."

🎶 F A B U LO U S 🎶

Carmella sneers at Nikki before walking through the curtain to make her entrance.

"This match is set for one fall! Coming to the ring, from Staten Island, New York, weighing 110 pounds, Carmella!"

The blonde brushes off her shoulders before doing her signature moonwalk. She struts down the ramp, touching a few fans' hands before entering the ring.

🎶 You can look, but you can't touch~ You keep dreaming on the stars above~ 🎶

"Wait wait wait hold up!" Carmella already has a mic and Nikki stops at the entranceway, fans booing at how she ruined Nikki's entrance. "I just want to congratulate Nikki on her recent success!" She starts clapping while fans are clamoring in confusion. "Well, recent success-es. You see, her first success is being able to step in the ring with a real woman."
