Robbie collapsed on Roman's chest, exhausted. Both of them panting  with sweaty bodies pressed tightly together. "We need a new hobby."

"Why fix what's not broken?" he asked, sighing contently.

"I  guess you're right," she rolled off of him and onto her pillow. "So,  you were the locker room leader on Raw, does that carry over to  Smackdown?"

"No, I can't walk in and step on anyone's toes in a  lockerroom that has already been built and bonded but I will do all I  can to make this place better, leader or not," he stated. "Are you going  to be alright in your lockerroom?"

"Yeah, you know they had the  NXT callups going back and forth between Raw and Smackdown anyway so I  know most of the girls. Plus, Bayley, Mickie and Liv made the jump to  Smackdown with me so I'll be alright."

"Oh, I almost forgot about your girlfriend, Sonya," he teased.

"Stop," she covered her face with a pillow. "I think people still lowkey believe those lesbian rumors but whatever."

They both showered, got dressed and Roman grabbed his bags to leave first.

Robbie sat on the bed. "I can't wait until the day when we'll be able to walk out of that door together."

"Soon," he leaned down to kiss her before walking out.

In  school, she always hated walking into a room last and now was no  different as she entered an extremely full Smackdown locker room. Upon  her entrance, all eyes flicked to her and every action and conversation  seemed to cease.

Robbie cleared her throat to break the awkward silence. "Hi..."

Most of them greeted her, smiled or went back to their business as she walked through and found a spot.

"Hey sexy lady," Sonya spoke.

"I believe that would be you," Robbie shot back at Sonya who was dressed in all black.

"So, who's booked tonight?" Mickie asked.

"Kairi has a short match with Peyton," Paige answered.

"We  filmed a short backstage segment that'll air during their entrance and  after that match we'll randomly come out to...clap," Mandy scoffed.

"Aren't  Charlotte and Becky supposed to be facing off?" Robbie asked,  remembering a promo tweet on it. Those two were noticeably absent from  the locker room.

"Yeah, again. I'm not going to lie, it  was bad enough when our time was getting cut for the triple threat  before Mania," Carmella said. "Now we'll have to compete with Elias and  his fifteen minute concerts and not to mention Roman!"

"Yep, and I  love him but Roman's inclusion is going to kill us. I know they're  trying to feature him in small doses so the fans won't turn on him again  but once he hits the title scene, he's going to have 20 minute opening  segments and 15 minute main events to close the show," Lana agreed. "We  would definitely need 3 hours like Raw in order for all of us to be  showcased properly instead of rushed matches and segments."

The subject changed to something else and they all went about discussing new things.

Sonya's head turned to Robbie. "Wait, I just thought about something, did your boyfriend get drafted here too?"

Boyfriend seemed to be the trigger word that made heads turn in her direction.

"Boyfriend?" Ember raised a brow.

"Is he your beard?" Liv jokingly asked.

"Actually, the lesbian counterpart to beard is skirt and no, he is not," Robbie replied.
