'He actually came,' Robbie thought to herself as she walked  toward the tall, hooded figure standing in the airport parking lot in  Orlando. The hoodie hid his most identifiable features: his tattoos and  his manbun. She noticed sunglasses covering his eyes as she closed in on  him.

"Why do you look so surprised?" he asked, leaning against his car.

"Because I am!" the smile on her face grew and the excitement flowed through her body. "I had my Uber app open just in case."

"When I tell you I'm going to do something, I do it," Roman affirmed, taking her bags to the trunk.

"I  missed you so much yesterday," she said, leaning over the armrest to  kiss him. "With you not being on the road full time we only get Monday's  together and since you missed last night I thought I'd have to go 2  weeks without you."

"Yeah, when they told me that I had to sit  this Raw out to sell the angle with McIntyre, you were the first thing I  thought about so I decided to take the drive up here to come see you.  What did I miss?"

"Backstage was pretty uneventful but an interesting article hit the dirtsheet yesterday..."

"About us?"

"No,  of course not. If that ever hit the net you would know, trust me," she  laughed before reading the headline from her phone. "Another LGBT member on the roster? The best part is the article cites a 'backstage member' as the source. This is why we have to be careful because the leakers are surrounding us."

"And if you were a lesbian, whose business was it?" Roman asked, stopping at a red light.

"Exactly,  the dirtsheet is getting dragged for 'outing' me though. I feel bad now  because all of these lesbian groups are following me now and lesbian  WWE fans are tweeting support. Yesterday I was just ignoring it but now I  have to address it because I don't want to mislead people into thinking  I'm a lesbian only to pop up with you, a whole man, eventually."

RobynWWE: While I fully support the LGBT movement and LGBT rights, I myself am not a lesbian or bisexual.

"So, how long is eventually going to be? Can I have an estimated time of divorce?"

"At  first we were going to drag it out until the end of the year but now we  just want to get it over with so we're looking at July or August," he  answered, looking over at her. "What are you doing?"

Robyn stared  out the window, mumbling to herself. "Oh, just some calculations. I know  you're a private guy with your marriage and I'm sure that's not going  to change post-divorce. I'm not expecting to post selfies of us or  become cast members on Total Divas but I'm sure we'll be traveling  together so the fans are going to know and as we see, people backstage  leak stuff to dirt sheets all the time. That being said, before when we  had no public ties, us coming together just could've happened. Now that  we'll be working together closely with the campaign, we have to handle  our moves very carefully to not give the impression that we were  sneaking around before your divorce."

"I thought about that too," he agreed.

"Let's say you do it in July, what's the appropriate time for a public figure to be seen with another woman after a divorce?"

"I don't know, like 2 months?" he shrugged.

"Joe!"  Robyn exclaimed. "That'll be PR suicide. I don't care how amicable you  paint the divorce, if you start dating again that quick it'll lead to, 'if it only took him 2 months to move on he must've never loved Galina in the first place or worse, 'if he's with Robyn already they must've already had something going on before the divorce.'"
