A/N: Hey guys, White here once again. This story much like A Dashing Birthday was meant to be up in 2013, but because we weren't sure how WWE events would play out, I held it off until now. This one is an AU, which explores the fantasy idea of a Diva World Heavyweight Champion. It also was back when I personally couldn't stand The Show-Off having AJ by his side. I apologize for any ZigLee fans or Dolph Ziggler fans I've upset. There will be stories featuring him in a more warm positive light coming soon. Hope you enjoy this one guys!
April 8th, 2013
"ZIG-ZAG! ZIG-ZAG! COVER! COVER! NEW CHAMPION! A NEW CHAMPION! DOLPH ZIGGLER HAS CASHED IN MONEY IN THE BANK!" Michael Cole screamed at the top of his lungs.
The ref rang the bell to a roaring crowd, signaling that the match was over. "The winner of this match and NEEEEEEEEEEW World Heavyweight Champion, DOLLLLLLLPH ZIIIIIGGGLLLER!" Justin announced.
"Well you gotta give The Show-Off credit! He picked his moment, he picked the right moment!" King added.
"And he took advantage of Alberto's wounded ankle, look at this opening attack on it." Cole said, cuing to the replay.
"He could barely stand, a brilliant move by Ziggler!" JBL praised, as AJ and Big E got in the ring to join the new champion.
The petite, energetic AJ gave Dolph a warm, loving, hug, all while concealing a smirk.
"I did it! I did it baby, it's finally mine!" Dolph crowed.
"I know baby, I'm so happy for you!" AJ grinned and giggled before whispering in his ear. "And I can't wait to give you just what you deserve..." She purred.
"And what might that be babe?" Dolph asked with a smile.
"This..." AJ said sweetly, backing away from Dolph ever so slowly and kicking him between the legs hard.
"What the...what just happened?" Cole wondered, astonished.
"I think AJ just broke up with Dolph...in her own special way." King said, confused from just what happened.
AJ smirked innocently at her ex-boyfriend and grabbed the title, skipping off with it.
As AJ skipped up the ramp merrily with the World Championship belt draped over her shoulder the fans popped with chants of "AJ! AJ! AJ! AJ!"
Ziggler looked on in disbelief as AJ gave the famous YES chant, with the stolen title.
The fans chanted with AJ, booming with chants of "YES! YES! YES! YES!"
AJ gestured to the title. "Mine!" She giggled.
Dolph had a look of pure shock and pain as he was still recovering from the low blow as Big E. consoled him. Dolph only muttered out two words. "Not...yours." He groaned.
AJ shook her head, giggling. "Mine!" She squealed.
Dolph grumbled out three words in pain. "I...hate...you..." He seethed in pain.
AJ winked, and skipped to the back.
The fans clapped and cheered for AJ, enjoying the sight of the Show-Off without his championhsip belt.
AJ smiled as she skipped gleefully to the back with the stolen title belt.
Superstars and setup crew watched AJ with curiousity, what was she doing with the World Championship belt?
Miz strolled up, his IC belt around his waist having somehow survived the former champ Wade Barrett. "Hey AJ."
"Hello Mizzy." AJ smiled at him. "See anything different about me?" She asked, patting her World Championship.
"Yeah. You have the World Championship belt. That's Ziggler's." Miz chuckled a little.
"I know." AJ nodded and smiled.
"Why do you have it?" Miz asked.
"Because I wanted to show him just how serious our break-up is. That and the fact that it just seemed fun." AJ giggled.
"You can't possibly hold it yourself...you'd have to give it back to him." Miz gently reasoned.
"Awwwwwwww but I don't wanna." AJ whined adorably, holding the belt close to her. "This belt is mine." She pouted.
"How is it yours?" Miz asked gently.
"Because..." AJ said but she couldn't get the words out right as she was trying to form new ones.
Miz kneeled before her, smiling. "It's okay, you can tell me."
"Because." AJ blushed softly. "Dolph never really loved me." She quietly admitted.
"He didn't?" Miz asked, a little surprised.
"He didn't." AJ shook her head. "He only saw me as a trophy to show off in front of his opponents and the WWE Universe." She admitted, a little bitterness in her voice.
"You want that title for yourself don't ya?" Miz asked with a grin.
AJ paused before smirking a little. "Well...yeah." She giggled as she nodded her head happily.
"How do you plan on getting it?" Miz wondered.
AJ had a thoughtful look on her face. "Wrestle Dolph in a match?" She asked.
"Tonight?" Miz asked. He knew if she did, he liked her chances.
"Well yeah if its possible." She said, noting how Dolph already had a match.
"Yeah. I'll even help ya." Miz smiled warmly.
"Really? AJ asked, a growing smile on her face.
"Yup." Miz smiled warmly.
AJ couldn't help herself. She gave The Awesome Superstar a warm, friendly, hug. "Thank you, thank you Miz!" She squealed happily.
"Any time. Come on, he's probably still out there whining and complaining." Miz laughed.
"True." AJ smiled and nodded. "Lets go back out there." She giggled.
Miz smiled, leading the way.
AJ skipped close to him, on the way down the hall.
Sure enough, they were still out there as AJ came out with the world title flanked by Miz.
The fans cheered AJ on, seeing her as the World Heavyweight Champion.
"She's back Michael, maybe she's having second thoughts?" JBL wondered.
"That's not likely, knowing AJ and wait...is that The Miz with her?" Cole asked, noticing the IC Champion accompany AJ to the ring.
"Your right Cole, what's The Miz doing here?" King asked, even more confused now.
AJ entered the ring, happily skipping around all four corners of it with the World Heavyweight Championship on her shoulder.
Miz couldn't help but smile, especially seeing the angry glare Dolph was giving the duo.
"You have a lot of nerve coming down to my ring with my World Heavyweight Championship." Dolph growled, pointing to Miz. "And whats this guy doing here?" The Show-Off sneered.
"Your World title? It's mine, Ziggy." She said, mocking her former nickname for him as she giggled.
"I'm just enjoyin' the show. She wanted me to come out with her." Miz grinned.
"I cashed in my Money In The Bank briefcase, I beat Del Rio, that title is mine! ALL mine!" Dolph declared, practically throwing a tantrum in the middle of the ring.
"Tell ya what. You want it so bad, if you can beat me right now in a No Disqualification match, I'll give it to you. But if I win, I become recognized as the official World Champion." AJ challenged.
Dolph smirked. "You just made the biggest mistake of your entire life! AJ, YOU'RE ON!" He answered, accepting the challenge.
"Somebody get a ref out here! This is great!" JBL shouted.
A young referee ran out of the back and into the ring, ready to start the match.
Miz looked to AJ with a smirk as a signal to ask if she wanted him to get involved.
AJ nodded at Miz, letting him know it was alright for him to get involved.
Miz grinned, getting behind Dolph and planting him with the Skull-Crushing Finale.
The New Jersey crowd roared in surprise as Dolph was put down face first into the canvas.
Miz then lifted Dolph's head up enough so that Dolph had to be on his knees. "You got it AJ, light him up a bit." Miz coached, instructing her to try a Shining Wizard.
AJ stood across from Dolph near the ropes before charging in with a successful Shining Wizard.
Dolph fell to the mat, out cold. "Cover, cover him!" Miz grinned.
AJ grinned, covering Dolph in a basic body pin.
Miz stood against the ropes, blocking Big E Langston from coming in.
The crowd went nuts with rising cheers as the pin was counted. "ONE!...TWO!...THREE!" The fans roared with excitement as Let's Light It Up played.
"I DON'T BELIEVE IT!" JBL screamed.
"THIS IS AMAZING!" Cole yelled in disbelief.
"AJ is now the first ever Diva to win a World Championship! I have NEVER seen this before!" King yelled, as the crowd just watched history happen in front of them but the voices of the commentators were matched in volume by the voices of the crowd in the IZOD Center.
AJ meanwhile was in tears of joy as she collected the title belt.
AJ was on her knees, happily clutching the World Championship lovingly to her heart while crying tears of joy. She just made history tonight as the first Diva to hold a World Championship in her hometown of New Jersey no less.
