No Authority - WWE Fanfiction

Chapter 31 | Repercussions

I frantically paced back and forth in the diva's locker room, unsure of how I would go about this match with AJ. AJ was extremely over protective of her diva's title and even though i'm one of her closest friends, there's no doubt she'd go to any extreme to make sure it stayed in her grasp. I couldn't help but overthink as to why The Authority would grant me such a huge match, especially when all I've done is trash them. Not to mention those countless encounters with The Shield and Randy where I've angered them to the point of almost killing me. I had a hunch that this was just a ploy to humiliate me in front of hundreds of people. However, my mind was still infuriated by Dolph's actions. One minute he's a scumbag attacking my closest friend's then the next minute he's acting as if nothing ever happened? It was disgusting.

That championship would indicate my worth within this company. It would prove to The Authority that I definitely was not some punching bag but then again the thought of having to fight against AJ made me soften up which was the worst part. I couldn't allow myself to stand back and allow AJ to take advantage of me within the match but then hurting her would stick with me forever. I was caught up within a mental war. This is why they were doing this, they wanted me to break, they wanted to see 'Alix' get demolished. Surely if The Authority got involved then Punk and John would be right out there to protect my sanity but then again, with The Shield, Randy Orton and Triple H it could end in a bloodbath.

"Alix? Are you okay? you look flushed." Naomi helped me over to the closest bench, sitting me down and studying my facial state.

"I'm alright. I'm just beginning to get caught up with this match." I spoke with a slight stutter unintentionally but I truly was nervous.

"I understand you're nervous, hell, I would be too. You have to look at this as a great opportunity though. This is your chance to prove you're not the little girl that belongs with The Authority anymore. This is YOUR chance to put the Diva's on show and make a good impression. I know you've always wanted to have a match like that and I know that you've always wanted to hold that title. Do what's right for you, not for anyone else even if it does mean going against the ones you love, in this case AJ." Naomi spoke softly, each of her words meaning something. I took it upon myself to listen carefully and I nodded once she had finished.

"You're right. I'm just so uptight about everything The Authority has been doing lately. Attacking Daniel,Punk and John. Getting Ziggler to join them. I'm surprised they haven't victimized any of you yet. I just want to lead this company out of the dark and make everyone feel safe rather than live in fear of The Authority." I let out a sigh, hanging my head in sorrow as I stared down at the floor. I felt Naomi place a hand on my back, tilting herself over to look at me from a sideways angle.

"And you can. Don't hold yourself back from your full potential just because you want to protect the rest of us. Do what you can, win or loose, either way we'll all be proud of you." Naomi patted my back in a comforting manner. I felt a small smile creep onto my lips as I nodded my head.

I rose up from the bench and scratched the back of my neck. I waved my goodbyes to Naomi before exiting the locker room. I couldn't help but exhale all my worries through my sighs, I felt extremely uneasy. Truthfully I continuously thought of how I'd like to win the match or more so wanted to win the match. This was a huge title opportunity and a chance to put the division on the right track again, I had to make a statement. I grabbed onto my sleeveless leather jacket from the crew member that had been rushing after me. I slid it on as the words 'No Authority' were fairly visible on the back of it. I tugged on my hair so that it was parted both ways in front of my chest, leaving my back visible.

I allowed a small breath to escape from my lips as I wrapped the white wrist tape around both my hands and wrists in a very messy way.  As matches came and went, the time grew much closer to where i'd be facing AJ. I had my game face on, this wasn't the type of match for The Authority to screw me over again. I'll win that belt, not just for myself but for the rest of the two locker rooms.
