Cuts Heal In Time (CM Punk)

Chapter 9: Debut

Monday Night Raw March 2012

Bella had been traveling with the WWE for the past couple weeks. She was set to debut tonight and had been working out with Punk in anticipation.

Traveling with the WWE was like nothing she had ever done before. They were in a new state every week, and she got to travel on Punk's ridiculous tour bus. It was pretty overwhelming for her, but she was lucky to have a friend like Punk, especially since many of the divas were slightly hostile towards her. But she couldn't complain. She had been spending most of her time in her hotel room or with Punk when he wasn't with Amy.

Punk and Amy had a weird relationship to say the least. They were clearly more than friends with benefits, but it seemed like they never spoke to each other at all. And whenever they did speak, it resulted in a fight of some sort. But they had been together for years, and Punk was big on loyalty.

Punk barged into his locker room, where Bella was getting ready for her debut. Punk thought she looked badass. Her ring gear was simple : very short khaki shorts shorts, red sports bra, and a simple cropped white tank top.

"Wow."

She looked up with her now reddened cheeks, "Stop."

"You look amazing," he smiled, "And I can't wait to see you kick some ass." He knew how much better Bella was than the entire divas division. She genuinely had no competition.

"I'm really nervous. I've never fought in front of this many people before."

"Once you get down to the ring, you won't even notice the people around you."

"Really?"

"Really," he said, "and I'll be the first person to congratulate you when you get backstage."

"You're the best."

"In the world," he added.

They hung out for a bit, watching the show in his locker room before he walked her to the gorilla. She was facing one of the Bella Twins tonight. Punk didn't know which one, and he didn't care enough to find out. He was preparing to watch the match from backstage by himself, but a crowd of superstars and divas gathered around him to watch "the new girl" that everyone was talking about. She had this mysterious aura to her that people often pointed out. Everyone had this desire to figure her out. In the weeks that she had been traveling with the WWE, she seemed so closed off from everybody in the business except for Punk and sometimes but rarely Eve. Bella didn't dislike Eve, but ever since she officially joined the divas division, Eve was a tad standoffish, especially in the company of other divas.

But still, Bella had become a common subject of locker room conversation. Punk always called the guys out when they talked about her in front of him, but they continued to do so when he wasn't around.

Bella's song, (Rock) Superstar by Cypress Hill blared throughout the arena

A lot of uh, sharks out there

Tryna take a bite of something

What's Hot

Lot of chameleons out there

Tryna change up

Anytime somethin' new comes along,

Bella Fury appeared on the screen and images of her tattoo that said "Bella Fury" on her knuckles appeared with it.

Everybody wants a bite

Don't happen overnight

Bella walked out with a determined look on her face, holding her hands up above her head, before lowering her arms to hold her fists out, flashing the tattoos that said her name on her knuckles.
