Mariana's POV
"Mariana! Wake up! You should have been up at least an hour ago!"
I sat up in my bed and saw my best friend Alexa standing in the door way all dressed and ready to go.
"Oh crap! Did rose call?"
"No, But if you're not out of that bed in 15 minutes I'm leaving you."
"Okay, GOD, you're grouchy in the morning." I got out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror my purple hair resembled a birds nest and I have bags under my eyes big enough to be considered a carry on. I rushed through my usual routine and got dressed. In exactly eight and a half minutes I managed to make myself look human. I'm weird I had my carry on packed for almost two weeks, I wish I could say the same about my huge suitcase. Where am I going you ask? WWE is having their first show in North America after a month long tour overseas and I get to start travelling with them again. Alexa is making her dark match debut tonight so she gets to come with me. I grabbed random clothes from my closet and threw them in my suitcase. My phone rang just as I closed my suitcase.
"Hello?"
"Hey. You guys on your way to the airport yet?" My sister Rosetta asked
"Almost. I slept. In." I said as I was struggling to grab my coat and gather my bags
"What are you doing?"
"Trying to leave and the faster I get out of here the faster I can see you."
"Fine. See you soon." Rosetta hung up the phone
My sister was Rosetta Tearling A.K.A WWE diva Allison Simmons. She started out as a valet for Dean Ambrose almost two years ago and has worked nonstop to earn the respect of the company and fans and she is now one of the top Divas in the WWE and manager for the Wolf Pack. Allison and Dean share an on-screen love affair that started when Dean was in between feuds with Seth Rollins and Randy Orton. Before you knew it Allison and Dean turned into Rosetta and Jonathan off screen. My name is Mariana Tearling. I'm a Youtube vlogger/ beauty guru. I have two highly successful channels and I basically follow my sister around the world and film the adventures we have.
I walked out of my room into the kitchen to see Alexa standing there with a piece of toast and keys in her hand
"Eat this on the way. We're already late." I nodded grabbed the toast and headed out the door.
Rosetta
I looked at the clock. Their flight got in about 20 minutes ago. I've been here for at least an hour now. Jon had passed out in the passenger seat beside me a while ago. I was scanning the crowd of people coming out of the automatic doors and honked the horn when I saw them.
"Holy shit! Rose what are you doing?!" was all I heard as I got out of the car.
As I walked to the back to open the trunk Mariana came running over
"I missed you!" she said as she ran into me full speed
"Yeah me too." I said as I tried to break out of her hold.
Alexa followed behind her with her bags
"You nervous?" I asked as she was putting them in our trunk
Alexa and I had become close friends when I was in training down in Florida at the performance centre.
"Not really. Just so damn excited to finally get a chance at the main roster." she said as she got into the back
I got into the driver's seat, Jon was fiddling with the satellite radio trying to find a good station. He settles on a classic rock station. I hear a groan from Mariana as I drive off. She hates when Jon has control over the radio because he never listens to one station it's always a different one each time.
By time we get to the arena it's already mid-afternoon. There are some die-hard fans standing behind the gate we just drove into. I got off and waved and proceeded to unload my bags and walk into the arena. Mariana was not far behind me already in full vlogging mode
Mariana
"Hey guys. Tonight we're in Oklahoma City. Look at the fans here." I waved to the group of people standing behind the gate "It's my first RAW vlog in over a month. This time I brought Alexa with me. Say hi Alexa." I turned the camera towards her
"Hi Alexa." She giggled as she waved at the camera. I ran to catch up with Rosetta and Jon
"How's every ones favourite couple?" I asked walking backwards in front of them as I filmed them. Jon held a thumb up. "Someone's a little jetlagged."
"You try getting on a plane for thirteen hours yesterday. And when you get here it's today despite traveling backwards in time zones!" Rosetta said Jon started laughing. I turned the camera towards me
"We'll leave the jetlagged weirdoes on their own." I said as I turned to round the corner. Next thing you know I was on the ground
"Oh I'm sorry. Didn't see you there." Someone said to me in an Irish accent
I looked up to be greeted by Stephen A.K.A Sheamus. He offered his hand I took it and hopped up I brushed myself off.
"It's fine. I was busy filming. I should have. Hey! Where's my camera?" I looked around for it frantically.
"Is that it over there?" he asked pointing at a little red light blinking from under a crate. I bent over to pick it up.
"I'm really sorry again. Can I make it up to you with dinner sometime? Is that still recording?"
"Oh yeah sorry." I turned it off "Dinner? With me? When?"
"Who else?" he gave a hearty laugh "When are you free darlin?
"It depends. I'm always here. Shouldn't you ask a girl's name before offering dinner to her?"
"Okay what is your name?" he asked a playful tone in his voice
"It's Mariana."
"So Mariana. Are you free for dinner with me anytime in the near future?" he asked again that playful tone still there.
"How about in Dallas next Monday, after the show?"
"Sure, see you then." He walked away without another word. I stood there staring at him as he rounded the corner unsure of what had just happened. I felt a pat on my back.
"Mariana. You good?" Alexa said from behind me.
"I think Sheamus just asked me out?"
"What?" she asked as we started walking towards the catering room.
Rosetta.
Jon sat down with his meal in hand.
"Babe. You sure you're not hungry?"
I nodded my head and got up "I'm going to go talk over that match with saraya"
"Okay see you in a bit." He said as he took a bite of his food. I walked around backstage looking for Saraya. We had our match to see who would become number one contender for Naomi's Diva title.
"Hey! Rose!" I turned to see Joe.
"Hey! What time did you get in?" I asked
"Around one. You?"
"I don't know three I think. I'm honestly so tired. Saturday can't come faster." I said
"Yeah. You guys still coming down this weekend?" he asked
"Yeah. I can't wait to surprise Kelsi for her birthday."
"She's so excited. She's been asking me if you guys are coming for her party."
"Aww that's so sweet! Have you seen saraya around?"
"Last I saw her and em-tenille go that way." And he pointed in the direction behind him
"Thanks. See you out there. Tell Sami to come find me. I need to talk to him about Smackdown tomorrow" I gave him a half hug and walked the other way. Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Solomon Crowe are one of the toughest trios the WWE has seen since the shield. I happen to be their manager which makes me one of the top WWE divas.
I saw Saraya sitting on a crate talking to Tenille. Tenille Dashwood and I go way back. We met in wrestling school and have been friends ever since. We both made our NXT debut around the same time and Emma made it to the main roster just before Paige and Allison made their main roster debuts.
"Where's your pack?" Tenille teased
"They're out hunting for their next victim." I retorted and turned to Saraya "We have to go over our match." I turn to tenille "Creative likes to keep our scripts until the last possible moment."
"I got mine when I got here." she said holding it in her hand
"I was trying to find you so we could show you."
I grabbed Saraya by the hand "Let's go bug them."
Tenille yelled from behind us "Good luck!"
We were busy trying to find the writers room when Mariana came up to us with her camera
Mariana
"Hey look its Saraya and Rosetta. Hey guys!"
Saraya stopped and turned towards me "HI! It's been forever since I've seen you!"
"I know! I've been at NXT the past month. I still have some vlogs that I have yet to make public thanks to the way they run that down there."
"Haha bet you got more time to rest. How's your house coming?"
"It's great." I had just recently moved out of Jon and rose's place and into my own house in Orlando with Alexa. That's partially why I stayed home from the euro trip. It's pretty different being away from my sister. But I figured I'm 22, why not now. I never actually planned on getting involved in the WWE. When my sister got signed to NXT I moved to Florida with her to help her transition and I pretty much just stayed here. I'm taking some film and TV classes at a university in Orlando and I'm going into my third year this spring. So in between terms I travel.
"I have a date next Monday." I said quietly
"With who?!" my sister snapped
"Stephen."
"Sheamus Stephen?" saraya asked
"Yeah."
"How did that happen?" my sister asked
"We kind of ran into each other and started talking" I said smiling at our encounter
"Be careful. Okay? some of these guys aren't all that nice." Rosetta warned
"Rose. I've been here for two years. I've been to your indie shows. I know." I grabbed my camera "These two have a match tonight if I'm not mistaken. Any words to the fans before the match despite them not seeing this until tomorrow."
Rosetta said "I'm going to change up my move set. The person who can name the moves I use in the comments below get a shout out from me in the next video. Now you have to film our match tonight." she laughed as her and saraya walked towards the offices. I kept recording
"Well let's see what else is there to do before I go sit upstairs. I'm kind of hungry let's go see what Laura is feeding us today." I filmed my walk to the catering room. I walked in just as Jon was walking out "Oh there goes my future brother in law." He just smiled as he walked past me. I walked in and looked around until I saw who I was looking for
"Slater gator! WWE tag team champs! How you guys been?" I said as I walked over to them.
"Great!" titus said
"When Rosetta told us you didn't come to Europe we were absolutely heartbroken." Heath said with his thick southern accent.
"Oh I was having the time of my life down in NXT. I hardly realized you were gone." I said with just a hint of sarcasm
"That bad eh?" Titus asked
"The whole scheduling thing is messing up my upload schedule. And the guys down there aren't as fun as you guys."
"Meet anyone interesting down there?" Heath asked
"No they're all pretty boring. It's good to be back where I know everyone." I picked my camera up again "What was your favourite part about the European tour?"
"I don't know man. Those fans over there really took well the slater gator. Not sure if our fan's here can top that." Titus said
"I know! This was one of our best tours yet!" Heath said excitedly. He grabbed my camera and started walking up to random superstars that were walking in and out of the room.
"He's never going to stop doing that is he?" I say to titus
"Nope. I think he loves filming people more than you do."
I laughed "I missed you guys." I gave him a hug and went to get food. I heard footsteps behind me
"And here we have the young blogger feeding. Building up the strength to blog her boring life."
"Heath give me my camera."
"Will you use my footage?" he asks
"I always do."
"The fans love heath cam."
"And it's vlogging! A contraction of video blogging!" he gave me the camera and carried my plate back to our table for me
"Someone's being extra nice today." I say as I sit down.
"I have to be nice sometime." He said
"What do you want?" I asked
"Why do you assume I want something? I like being nice to my bestie." He said trying his best to sound offended.
"Heath. Are you developing a crush on me? Because I have my eyes on another red head here. sorry." I say teasingly
Titus was laughing behind him "No not you. Not that there's anything wrong with you you're beautiful you're so nice, I mean any guy would be lucky to. Sorry, off track. That blonde that started travelling with you lately. Is she single?"
"Nice save. And her name is Alexa. Yeah she is, why?"
"If she's on the main roster now you should, uh, put in a good word in me."
"I see… I'll see what I can do, only because I love you." It was hilarious to watch heath stumble over his words. I took the last few bites of my food. "I'll let you know what happens"
I got up and made my way around the arena. I saw April. April Jeanette brooks is one of the first people I befriended when I got here, she's also known as the WWE's craziest diva AJ Lee. She helped introduce me to a lot of the people that my sister and I didn't know at first. She loves starring in my videos. She's probably the reason they get so many views to be honest
"HEY!" she came running towards me
"HI! I missed you!"
"I missed you too! We have to have one of our movie nights soon. Come out to my place this weekend?"
"Sure. I've got nothing better to do. Rosetta is on the live shows almost all weekend."
"All I have is an appearance at this convention on Sunday. You'll come along and film everything right?"
"Sure. I've actually got a date Monday."
"With who?!"
"Stephen."
"Stephen as in Sheamus?"
"Yeah."
"Why now? Out of nowhere! I mean that's great seeing as you've been crushing on him for the past year but it's weird!" April exclaimed
"April. Calm down. It's one date. Who knows, we might not even hit it off." I said
"Oh you will." She said patting me on the back. I made my way upstairs and found my usual seat behind the commentator's table.
Rosetta.
I headed towards the ramp. Jon and Joe were waiting for me. We were kicking off RAW with a promo hyping Roman's main event match against Seth.
"Hey you guys ready? Where's Sami?"
"Sami's right here." I heard him come running up behind me. He picked me up and put me in a bear hug
"Oh my god Sami! Put me down!"
"I haven't seen you in a month! " He said as he held me tighter
Sami Johnston. He and Jon have been friends since their days in the Indies. It's only fitting that they work together in the WWE. I met Sami in NXT, We got called up around the same time. We had a fling in NXT it never worked out so we became best friends. He spends more time at Jon and I's house than he does his own.
"Maybe think twice next time before jumping off a ladder." Sami is just getting back from an injury. He cracked some bones in his foot in the money in the bank ladder match in June. It took two months to completely heal. He missed summerslam. The beginning of September he didn't get medically cleared to travel to Europe with us, because he missed a few rehab sessions with pain and that was the last I had heard from him until today.
"I was supposed to win that match. Instead I have to sit on my ass for four months because of a stupid slip up." Sami was supposed to win that match. Solomon was supposed to be Mr. Money in the bank. He was supposed to be in a feud with Damien Sandow who is now a two time money in the bank contract winner. Tomorrow at the Smackdown taping Allison and Solomon are supposed to address the situation. The welcome was done and the stage manager told us it was our turn. Our music hit, I got completely into character and grabbed dean by the arm. He led me out. Roman walked ahead of us and Solomon walked on the other side of me. The crowd was going nuts. We got into the ring, Roman and Dean helped me in. I grabbed a mic and said "Who here wants to see a match between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins?" The crowd went nuts. Roman and Seth are having a really good feud because Seth interrupted in a match against Sheamus for the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
"Well that's too bad because Seth Rollins has been running scared since he left the authority. To be honest I think he's a little intimidated by the pack. What does the WWE universe have to say about that?" The crowd roared yet again. Seth's music hit.
"Oh yes, I'm so intimidated. Roman reigns is going to superman punch me into oblivion! Ahh! Yeah right. Back to reality. The real question is Does Roman Reigns really want to get involved with me again after what happened last time." They played the clip of the shield break up over again for like the actual millionth time since it happened three years ago.
"Oh Seth get over it. You sold out and look where that got you. You're running from the authority, you're running from the wolf pack. Pretty soon you're gonna run out of space to hide Seth, and have to face the consequences you have coming your way." I said just then triple h's music started playing him and Stephanie McMahon came out she had the mic
"Hello Seth. Nice to see you. You guys want to see Seth in a match tonight right?" The crowd roared "Now we don't want to disappoint the fans now do we Seth?" Seth started backing away from her towards the ring. "Tonight you guys will get Romans Reigns vs. Seth Rollins." The crowd started to cheer "Oh but wait I'm not done. Dean I know we didn't always get along but I believe we can trust you to be special guest referee. You're a fair guy all about stopping injustice."
Dean grabbed the mic "We know a little bit about injustice, don't we Seth?"
"SHUT UP AMBROSE!"
Dean laughed a little and handed the mic to roman "Seth tonight you better believe that I'm going to my revenge, no one costs me a title shot and gets away with. Tonight the Wolf pack is going to make you tuck your tail and run. BELIEVE THAT!" The crowd went crazy our music played and we walked out of the ring and into the back. Colby followed not long after
Seth Rollins is played by Colby Lopez. He had been best friends with both Joe and Jon since they joined the shield. That's the fun of being a WWE superstar, it's all an act. Seth Rollins may be the WWE's top heel right now, Colby Lopez on the other hand is a huge sweetheart who's kind of dorky and loves his friends no matter what.
He came up to us. "Who's driving to fort worth with me?"
Sami spoke up "me?"
"How'd you get here?" Joe asked slightly confused
"I took a cab from the airport to here. "
"Seriously?" I asked
"Yeah, I wasn't going to rent a car if I was the only one in it. You get better rates for more than one person. Besides I didn't want to pay for gas by myself." He said
I shook my head and laughed. Colby said to me
"You should get ready for your match. Come one guys let's go." Joe started following Colby. Jon grabbed me in a hug.
"Good luck." He kissed the top of my forehead and said to Sami "You, better not try nothing because I'm not out there."
Sami just laughed and grabbed my hand and led me towards over to the curtain "Come on rose! Let me stretch you out."
I looked back at Jon and winked he started laughing and walked away. I waited for the match to be almost done then I did my warms ups Sami sat against the wall and listened to his Ipod. The crew went out and did their thing Saraya came up beside me
"You ready?" I ask
"Oh I was born ready!" Her music hit she walked out. She always got a really high adrenaline rush before matches. But honestly who could blame her, the bigger crowds were electric. I get chills down my spine every time my music hits before a match and they start cheering or chanting. It's the best feeling in the world and I honestly wouldn't trade it for nothing else. Sami grabbed my hand and led me out of the ring. We walked down the ramp he held up my arm and pointed at me
"Making her way to the ring accompanied by Solomon Crowe. From Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Allison Simmons!" The crowd howled because that was out thing. Sami held my hand as I went up the stairs and I got in. The bell rung.
Mariana
Rosetta and Saraya's match was on I had my camera resting on the barrier. The match was pretty good lots of back and forth. Rosetta pulled a bull dog out of nowhere. That's one new move. Then she did a springboard leg drop and went for a pin. 1! 2! 3! She won. The ref raised her hand
"You're number one contender Allison Simmons!" Paige had a fit of rage and did the Paige turner on her and walked out with her music playing. Solomon came into the ring and picked Allison up. He helped her out of the arena. Those two probably had the attack all planned out. They love beating each other up. I sat through a few matches. Sheamus had a match against Damien Sandow because of the contract. From what I'm understanding Roman and Sheamus had a feud going. Roman was supposed to win the title at the PPV when Seth interfered and Sandow is mad because he was going to interfere and these storylines are all connected. It's enough to give anyone a headache but the fans love it none the less. He came out and I could have sworn he looked in my direction and winked but I probably just blinked. Sandow came out with his briefcase and blabbed on about how he rightfully deserves this and that. I was honestly a little bored with it. I grabbed my phone and text Rose.
"Hey how you doin?"
"Great! How was Alexa's match? I swear she's hiding from me. I can't find her anywhere."
"It was freaking amazing! She'll be making her main roster debut soon. The crowd was really taking to her. When did Sami get here?"
"I honestly couldn't tell you. The dork is crazy enough to take a cab here."
"LOL." Stephen just won the match with white noise. He climbed the turn buckle to the left of the announcers table and looked in my direction. I waved he winked and he got his hand raised and walked into the back. Now it was time for the main event. Roman walked out and got a huge crowd pop. Then Dean came out and Seth came out. He tried to run and attack Roman, Dean hopped on him and pulled him off of Roman.
"I want a clean match!" he was yelling, I picked up my camera, Seth attacked again, they were falling all over each other
"And now we have a match involving the three stooges" I did a panoramic shot of the crowd. The bell was finally rung and roman and Seth were going at it. Seth was try trying to get dirty in the corners, Dean did a quick 5 count. Rosetta must be back stage fawning over Jon in his ref shirt. The match was a lot of Seth dominating then roman did the spear and got the quick pin. The match was over. Roman got his hand raised and Dean and he were celebrating. I got up from my chair and turned the camera towards me
"Let's go find Rosetta." I walked past heath
"You riding with your sister?"
"Yup. and Alexa." I added
"OH! You sure you guys don't want to ride with us? We got room in our car right?" he turned to Titus
"I mean I gue…"
"see! We'll wait for you guys by the gate."
"Okay. Thanks." I said walking away giggling. I walked into the diva's locker room. Alexa was sitting there talking with Rosetta.
"Hey! I've got us a ride."
"You're not riding with us?" Rose asked
"Not tonight."
"Okay text me your room number. Love ya!" She hugged me grabbed her bag and walked out of the room
"Who are we riding with?" Alexa asked gathering her things
"Heath and Titus."
"As in the tag team champs?"
"Yeah. I may as well tell you this now." She looked at me confused "Heath wants me to put a good word in for him with you."
She giggled "Oh okay. Got it."
We walked out of the locker room and towards the gate and there was heath.
"Here let me take your stuff." he said to Alexa
"Thanks but I got It." she giggled
"Way to be obvious. I said as I walked in between them towards the car. They were talking and laughing behind me. I walked up to Titus
"This is going to be a long three hours."
He laughed and put the bags in. "Mari, you get shotgun this time."
"What I-I have to sit in the back?" heath said suddenly nervous.
"Good luck" I said as I walked passed him to the front seat. We started the drive all I heard from the backseat was
"So. Uh. My names heath."
"I know."
"Oh yeah, I guess you knew that. Heh heh. So uh, you on the main roster now?"
"Not sure yet. I'm on a try out kind of thing. I'll be at shows all this week if you want to hang out some time." She said
"Huh? Oh sure. I'll be around."
I took out my phone and played some games. An hour passed and we were all getting pretty sleepy. I took out my IPod and plugged it into the correct jack. I found some one direction and played it out loud.
"I'm not listening to one direction for two hours." Titus said
"How did you know I was going to play one direction?" I said as Rock Me started playing. I started singing along. Alexa sang the chorus and I'm pretty sure heath fell in love in that moment. As the song ended I took out my camera
"We're an hour into our drive. I decided to liven things up with some music. Titus isn't really enjoying my music choice. What do you think about it heath." I turned to film him he was looking at Alexa who was dancing in her seat. He blushed
"I uh, don't mind it." he said all red faced. Heath was usually pretty chill. I'd never once seen him get nervous around girl. We sang for another hour before Alexa fell asleep. I took out my camera and decided to film
"Her guys." I whispered "Where almost in Fort Worth. Alexa fell asleep, she had a great match. I got footage of that. I'm going to end this vlog here seeing as it's technically Tuesday. So bye guys. Hope you enjoy. Say bye Titus."
"Bye." He said with a yawn. We got to Fort Worth, I got Alexa and I's hotel room and we went to bed excited for the next day.
