It had been weeks since the incident with Eric Young. The feud was going strong and I was getting more TV time each week. I sat down with the team who handled Breaking Ground and they informed me that they'd put a package together already about my own journey to WWE and where I was now.

"We've included Tye, of course," one of the assistant producers said. "You're both on this season so it's about your own journey but, because of the storyline and your real life, we're going to tie you in together at points."

I nodded, it made sense of course.

There was a knock on the door and I turned, Mike telling whoever it was to come in.

William Regal entered the room and smiled at me, coming over to me quickly. I'd done a stint in England and that's when Regal had found me, recommending me to the rest of the talent scouts. It had been happening at the same time as they had scouted the WWE UK tournament and Regal hadn't been around too much in the last few weeks as he helped organize and settle the UK wrestlers that were coming over here.

"Ms. Hyde, just who I was looking for," he said as I, very unprofessionally, dove in to hug him, like a daughter would a father. He laughed and hugged me tightly. The night I'd met Regal I'd been busted open above my eye and he'd shaken my hand, blood and all. He and I didn't stand by protocol much.

"Hi boss man," I said, smiling at him. He kissed the crown of my head before forcing me to step back from him an arm's length. He tilted my chin up so he could see my neck in the light.

"No marks," he commented.

"The thing with Young was so long ago, of course there's no marks," I said.

Regal smirked at me. "I was referring to Mr. Dillinger." I blushed bright red, causing him to laugh. The producers laughed too and I turned, seeing the camera was on and pointed at me. I'd forgotten they'd turned it on for the discussion of Breaking Ground and realized they'd just caught their first clip of me.

"You planned that," I said, turning to look at Regal who smiled down at me cheekily.

"You, my dear, are many things but you do put your best face forward. This program is about you, the real you. So, give them the real you, jokes, bad hair days and all."

I laughed and nodded, hugging him again. Regal smiled and pulled me from the room with him and the cameras followed. I was glad there were certain restrictions on their following but I knew from the moment I got to the PC every day and any meetings about my future, they'd be there.

Regal directed me into the gym area full of rings and I saw Tye wiping his face off as he spoke to Dash wilder, the two of them clearly having just finished grappling.

"Mr. Dillinger," Regal called out. Everyone's head turned to see him, his voice clear and distinct in the room. Tye, obeying immediately as all of us did when either Regal, Hunter or Bloom called us, rushed over and smiled at me before turning his attention to Regal.

"I have a bone to pick with you sir," Regal informed him. The cameras circled us and I felt Regal's grip tighten for a moment. He was telling me to relax. He would do this, whatever it was, with or without the cameras around.

"Yes, sir?" Tye asked, his voice slightly uncertain if this was a joke or Regal had an issue with him.

"Who do you think you are, taking my pride and joy, the only female talent I brought back from the UK this last go around and make her your girlfriend? Huh? I don't need her getting caught up with the likes of you."
