Bekka's POV

        "Hey Bekka, Brad needs to talk to you" Ryder informs me as I stretch. Ryder Orton has been one of my best friends in the WWE for years; along with her brother, Randy. I walk to the greenroom to find Brad Maddox, Raw's General Manager.

        "You wanted to see me?" I ask, taking a seat.

        "I did, actually. I put you in a match tonight" He announces.

        In a spark of excitement, I ask: "Against who?"

        Maddox takes a pause before answering, "It's a mixed-tag against AJ Lee and Zack Ryder. The thing is, I'm still debating about who should be your partner"

        Out of nowhere, someone enters the room, "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt." He says as he shuts the door slowly. But before the door can close completely, Brad puts his hand out;

         "Wait, Dean. Come back in here for a sec" 

        He does as he's told and walks back in, shutting the door behind him. Dean Ambrose: United States champion, 1/3 of the Shield, and potentially insane. That's almost all I know about this guy. Brad faces me once more, "Bekka, this is Dean Ambrose. Tonight, he will be your tag team partner." As he uttered the words, I tried not to do much protesting. I hardly know this guy and I'm working with him tonight? I guess it's a start.

        I take a moment to get a better glance at him and look back to Brad.

        "Alright, I guess that could work." I respond politely, standing up from my seat.

        When I stand, Dean finally gets a word in, "Challenge accepted" Not knowing whether it was a complement or an insult, I shoot him a glare. Oddly enough, he retaliates with a playful wink. I finally break from the awkward battle and turn my attention back to Mark.

        "Well, you two have some things to talk about so I'll just leave you to it" I say, shuffling out of the room.

        I shut the door behind me to see my good friend, Angel walking towards me.

        "Woah. Did you get in trouble or something?" She asks.

        "No. But I have news" I announce.

       Angel stares at me like a child being shown the world's biggest lollipop, "ZOMIGOD TELL ME!" She urges.

        I bite my lip and manage to get words out; "I'm teaming up with Dean later..." My voice begins to trail off.

        "That's amazing news!" She continues, "If you an Dean get close, you can join me and Seth on dates!"

        Angel is Seth Rollins' girlfriend. So when you think about it in the way that she does, she's the only one dating a Shield member and Seth is the only one dating a member of our stable, The Goddesses.

        "Look, it's a one-time thing. Just another last minute partner fill-in" I inform her, hoping to set her straight.

        Angel begins to twirl, "You never know. You two seem like the perfect pair. I ship it big-time and if you two end up dating, Ryder owes me 10 bucks."

        Of course there's money involved. I decide to go with it, "And what is Ry's side of this bet?"

        "If you two become besties, she gets 10 bucks from me" She giggles.

        "Well, I'll see you later. I have a match to prepare for." I close, walking toward the locker room.

        "And I'm going to give Ryder the good news!" Angel yells to me. I role my eyes to the comment and make a left turn to my destination.

        Right as I redirect myself, I run into something that's basically a brick wall. I look up to see my tag mate, Dean. It happened so fast, I wasn't able to stop myself from yelling:

        "What are you, a fucking ninja?"

        He chuckles, "You must have the wrong guy. Seth's the ninja, I'm more of the strong, psycho type"

        "I'm well-aware of Seth's ninja-skills. Angel tells me all about how he uses said skills..." My voice trails off, realizing it's spewing too much information.

        Dean clears his throat, forgiving the awkward moment, "So I was just wondering, you wanna get something to eat after the show? I heard there's a great Tai place not too far from here"

The last thing I wanted to do what get too involved with this guy, so I had to let him down easy enough to where he doesn't get distracted during the match.

        "Dean, you seem like a pretty radical dude. But I just feel like it's best if we pull it off tonight and get things done" I said it as gentle as I could without sounding creepy. He was silent as he looked at his feet and back to me.

        "Well, I guess that's reasonable. Catch you later"  I half-waved and walked to the locker room to get ready.
