Trust Comes First (A WWE Fanfic)

Chapter 61 Defending The Title

   The week had dragged on, between taping Smackdown, avoiding Shield and Phil and dealing with everyone trying to cheer me up I was exhausted. With RAW tonight I knew I would be in serious danger of losing my title if I didn't get my shit together. I was going up against Naomi in a Championship match. This was my 5th one in 7 weeks and I was tired of being the Authorities whipping toy. Just my luck as I was walking through the halls, dressed and ready to go in dark blue tonight, I saw AJ and Phil. Steeling my eyes I flexed my fingers, seeing them spot me, Phil throwing an arm over her shoulder. If I didn't have a promo to cut I would have decked him right there. AJ threw me a triumphant smirk and I brought my hand up, checking my eye, giving her the finger. I grinned as I passed them, seeing the cocky smirks drop off their faces. I made my way to the promo area, seeing Eden.

"Please welcome my guest at this time, your Woman's Champion, Lila."

The crowd erupted as I stepped into frame, a smirk on my face, title on my shoulder. My hair was wilder than usual, falling down over my shoulder and down my back. It was getting long again and I adamantly refused to cut it.

"So we saw you last week go against PCB with the Bella twins and dominate. Later that evening you delivered a heartwarming apology to Roman Reigns who was formerly your best friend. How are things going for you now?" she asked, holding the mic towards me.

"Things are great. I have a clear conscience now and I feel more able to take on the challenges and matches the Authority seems to enjoy throwing at me. They seem to think they can take my title from me by putting it on the line all the time but they don't realize one thing. When they gave me the title I was never planning on letting it go." I stated, eyes flashing in anger.

"Even after everything you went through at TLC when the Authority let The Director of Operations, Kane throw you through a table you're still fighting them?"

The clip flashed on the screen and I watched, mesmerized. It was the first time I had seen it and I was amazed at how hard I flew and hit the table. I watched as I lied there amongst the cracked pieces of table and how he threw my title down at me.

"Kane threw me through a table and I'm still standing here saying they're nothing but a bunch of overgrown, un-talented, no good, corrupt bullies. I am not nor will I ever be scared of The Authority, Kane or the Shield." I stated firmly, the crowd shouting their approval.

"I wouldn't be afraid of Shield either if I was bouncing from bed to bed between them." Someone laughed crazily, "I didn't know you said best friend when you really meant bed buddies."

Instantly I was seeing red, AJ and Phil walking in front of me, an arm still wrapped around her shoulder. He was grinning as he looked down at her and then to me. I shifted my title, watching her eyes fly to it.

"Oh AJ you sound so bitter baby. Are you feeling a little, well under par? Are you afraid Punk preferred me to you is that why you need to attack me on screen? Or because you know I walked away from TLC when you would have cracked?" I smirked, hand on my hip, fingers drumming against my skin, "Oh wait. You came here cracked."

"You wait till Kane gets a hold of you Lila." She pointed, stepping away from Phil, "You think he's just going to let you get away with running your mouth? And I am not crazy, Punk is with me isn't he?"

"When are you gonna get it AJ?" I shook my head, staring down at her, "I'm not afraid of what happens to me, because I can take it. You throw me down I get up and throw back twice as hard, as for Punk, I guess he's with you now, after he was in my room last night." I grinned, watching his face fall slightly, than fury filling his features.
