A New Paige

More Than Just A Headache

PAIGE:

My head still pounding, I walk inside the arena.

"Paige, you shouldn't be here tonight."

"I'll be fine, don't worry, Randy."

"I'm just worried." I give him a smile and look at the TV. Kane and Jericho were battling it out. Chris pins Kane and I look at Randy.

"I should go get ready." He pulls me in for a hug and I walk into the Divas room.

------------

Nikki walks in, giving me a worried look.

"I'm a little worried, Paige. Are you ok?"

"I'll be fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Now let's go kick some ass." She smirks and we walk out.

-------------

I shake my shoulders and walk behind Randy as he was being interviewed by Renee.

"You're a hypocrite, Randy." He turns to me, his face held menace but his eyes were filled with concern.

"And how am I?"

"You were an amazing wrestler. You're dad was an amazing wrestler and then you join with the Authority! They don't care that you're good, they just care about their image. All they care about is who your daddy is."

"Funny you should say that, Paige."

"I'm not a sell out, Randy."

"Well at least I didn't betray my best friend just to attain a title."

"As you can tell, AJ and I are still friends."

"Does she think that?"

"Of course she does!" He snickers and suddenly AJ appears.

"Oh, Paige. When I beat you at Night of Champions, we can still be friends." I give a smug smirk and look at AJ.

"I'll be waiting, bestie." And then I walk off.

I stagger my way to my dressing room, holding my head.

"Paige, you alright?" I look towards the direction of Leati - who was running towards me, a concerned look on his face.

"Just my head, Joe. Don't worry."

"You seem to be in serious pain, do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

"You're up next, I don't want you missing your match. Good luck."

"I can get Naomi or Nikki."

"I appreciate it, I really do. But no thank you."

"Randy?"

"No, Leati. I'm fine, honestly." He frowns and looks around.

"Brie! Can you take Paige to the hospital. Something's not right with her head!" Brie runs towards me, dressed in heels, it was impressive.

"What's wrong? I knew I shouldn't have wrestled against you! Did Nikki warn you?"

"Nikki was highly against the idea of me going out at all but I said I would."

"That was stupid." I glare at Brie, earning a frown. "I'll take her, Joe. Don't worry."

"Thank you, Brie." I give a glare to Leati but he just gives me a worried look before walking off.

Brie takes me to her car. "And this time, I'm staying with you through the whole thing." I roll my eyes but shoot Brie a smile. She gives me a serious look as we drive towards the hospital.

ROMAN: (Hey! A new POV!)

I battle Seth inside the ring. Ultimately pinning him. I smirk and walk up the ramp and into the back.

Randy approaches me.

"You weren't in that match, were you? You're worried about Paige?"

"Yeah, I am. She's actually at the hospital with Brie. She was holding her head in pain." A look of concern crosses over Randy's face. But the cameras come and we go straight to filming.

"You're not gonna be that lucky at Night of Champions, Roman." I stare at Randy, sizing him up.

"By the looks of it, Randy. Neither will you." Randy takes a step closer to me, staring down his nose like the ignorant snot he is.

"I will beat Chris Jericho. I will destroy Chris Jericho. I am the Legend Killer after all." I scoff.

"Or maybe, The Viper will be taken out. Squished like a bug. Just like what I'm going to do to Seth Rollins." We stare each other down until the cameras cut.

Seth runs in.

"Paige isn't doing so well." We both look at Seth. "She needs surgery."
