Hello Brooklyn ► Zack Ryder

Prologue

Brooke wandered aimlessly around backstage.

She wanted to go to the Divas locker room, but knew if she did, all she would hear was complaining from almost everyone. She wanted to be on TV as much as anyone, but she knew complaining wasn't the answer.

Eventually, she decided she might as well head there and put on her ring gear, in hopes that she was scheduled for a match.

It only took a few minutes to reach the locker room, but when she got there, she wished she hadn't. The moment the door opened, everyone whipped their heads toward her and glared.

She walked to the back of the room, where the two Divas not glaring at her were standing.

"Why is everyone glaring at me?" Brooke asked, confused.

"Honey, they're just jealous that you have a match tonight and they don't," Natalya explained.

Brooke's eyes widened. "I-I have a match?"

Nattie smiled. "That's right, and it's against - "

"Me."

Brooke turned around to look at the other Diva who wasn't glaring at her.

"I'm going against the Divas Champion?" Brooke asks, raising her eyebrows.

"Yep," AJ says, smiling. "You win, too, because Kaitlyn comes out to distract me."

"Oh, wow, that's awesome," Brooke said, incredulously. "I can't believe I get to wrestle the champ. I've wanted this for a while, so I'm excited."

AJ smiles. "I'll see you in the ring."

Brooke quickly puts on her ring gear and walks out of the room, heading to the GM's office. She knocked on the door, and heard, "Come in!" She opened the door to find Vickie Guerrero and Brad Maddox talking.

"Hi," She says, softly, smiling.

They stop talking and look at her. "Hey, Brooke," Brad says.

"I just wanted to thank you for giving me a match tonight."

"Actually," Vickie says. "It was my idea. I had planned for it to be on SmackDown, but Vince wanted AJ vs. Kaitlyn again, so I convinced Brad to schedule it for tonight."

"Well, thanks," Brooke says. "I'm glad I have a match. I can show off my new ring gear. I've had it for weeks, but haven't had a match."

"You look great," Vickie gushes.

"Thanks!" Brooke says. "Well, I have to go. I'll see you on SmackDown!"

She exited the office and headed to Gorilla, but when she was halfway there, a crash stopped her. She walked faster down the hallway, where she found the source of the noise.

"Zack?"

Zack Ryder looked up from a knocked over stack of crates, running a hand through his hair.

"Oh, hey Brooke..." He says, blushing slightly.

"What's wrong?" She asks, frowning.

"I had a dark match and lost!" He says, sighing. "I'd be okay if it was on TV, but it wasn't. I lost and it wasn't even on TV!"

"Well, it couldn't have been that bad," She says.

"I lost to Sin Cara."

"Oh..." She says. "When was your last match?"

"At a house show on Saturday," He says. "I didn't win then, either."

"At least you had a match..." She mumbles. "Hey, Zack, I actually have a match tonight, so I'll see you later."

She walks by him, frowning, and heads to Gorilla, where she finds AJ and Big E Langston. AJ sees her disappointed face and gives her a reassuring smile. Her music plays, so she skips out to the ring, the arena filling with boos.

Brooke's music plays next.

"FIGHT!

You're afraid,

Like I make my deals with the devil.

You've been at it for years,

But couldn't reach that next level!

Let's keep it real,

This is no competition to me!

Even if everyone around you acts like they don't see!"

"Making her way to the ring, from Detroit, Michigan: Brooklyn!"

Brooke gets in the ring, headbangs to the song, gets on the top turnbuckle, and puts up some peace signs with her hands.

AJ rolls her eyes and smirks. Brooke smiles deviously and the bell rings.
