Jasmine Winters, the same reporter that did the report on my story, says, "I'd like to welcome my guest, AEW superstar Dr. Britt Baker."

Britt smiles and waves.

Adam says, "That's my game room. She's at my house."

"Is this live?" I look back at Roderick and ask.

He nods at me. "I just got the notification on my phone," he says.

Adam's mother says, "Oh no."

Britt says on the TV, "It's good to be here."

Jasmine says, "So, it looks like you're still living in Adam Cole's house. Is everything okay there?"

Britt's smile is forced as she says, "You can say that. I'm in the process of moving out and finding my own place."

Adam mutters, "I told her to move out two weeks ago."

Jasmine says, "So, I'm just going to ask this question straight forward. Everyone wants to know. Did you purposely injure NXT Women's Champion Angelina last night in your match in The Great NXT and AEW War?"

Britt chuckles a bit and says, "Purposely? No. Do I regret it? Also no. She'll probably be out for a long time, I mean, we saw the brace and the crutches in that video of her walking out of the hospital. If my injuring her forces her to relinquish her title then I'm not mad about it."

Adam says, "I think I'm making a little appearance on AEW this week while you go on NXT for your injury update. I think I might bring Tegan and Candice with me too."

I look at Adam and I say, "And you told me to leave it alone."

He looks at me and says, "She basically just admitted to injuring you on purpose."

I cross my arms over my chest and say, "I told you that yesterday and you told me to leave it alone."

"I didn't want to believe it," he says.

I roll my eyes and look up at the TV. Jasmine asks, "Where is all this animosity toward Angelina coming from?"

Britt asks, "Do you want the story she's told you, or do you want the real story? The real story will leave everyone almost shook."

Jasmine asks, "Does it have anything to do with the cheating rumors?"

"It has everything to do with the cheating rumors," Britt says.

I cover my face and listen to Britt talk on the TV. "I found out that my ex-boyfriend, Adam Cole for anyone that doesn't know, was sleeping with your NXT women's champion for weeks before he broke it off with me."

Jasmine's eyes widen and she says, "Oh, really? That's interesting. So, you're confirming that the cheating rumors are true."

Adam pulls out his phone and dials a number. "What are you-" I start.

He cuts me off and points at the TV, where I hear Britt's phone going off. She laughs and says, "Speak of the devil." She answers the phone. "Hi, Adam."

Adam says, "What do you think you're doing? This is not your topic to speak on."

"Aw," she says. "You're watching me." She waves at the camera. "Hi, Angelina, since everyone knows you're there too."

Jasmine asks, "Is that Adam Cole on the phone?"

Britt nods. "It is," she says. "He's watching."

The reporter asks, "Can you put him on speaker?" Britt presses a button and Jasmine talks again. "Adam, can you speak on the rumors that you cheated on Britt Baker with Angelina?"
