After getting off Skype with Chyna, Melanie decided to call Celeste first and she answered on the first ring.
"What the hell were you thinking!?" Celeste yelled on the other line as Melanie couldn't help but start laughing at her reaction. "Are you-are you laughing!? Do you know how upset I am? Why would you go back to TNA if you spent your entire wrestling career working to get to the WWE? What is wrong with you!? How could you go to that place?!"
"Whoa, wait a minute, what are you talking about-"
"Why are you staying on TNA?!"
"Celeste-"
"No! At least go to a different wrestling company. That was a slap in the face. You could of least told us and given us a heads up so we wouldn't be freaking out!"
Melanie laughed again, "I couldn't. WWE told me to keep it under wraps,"
"Wait what?"
"Put me on speaker,"
After Melanie explained the situation to the girls whole were still in Celeste's room. Relief seemed to wash over them as they were happy she wasn't staying and that it was just a misunderstanding due to her being told not to share her plans with anyone yet.
After chatting with the girls, Melanie called Colby and he answered on the third ring.
"Well...if it isn't the TNA Knockout." Colby greeted, making her chuckle
"I'm not staying, you goofball. Put me on speaker. I know Jon and Joe are there."
Colby announced to the boys that she was on the phone and put his phone on speaker.
After explaining, she was glad her friends and Jon understood what was going on. She missed them so much and couldn't wait to be back when she was told to return. But for now, she wanted to live in the moment and enjoy this rare opportunity given by WWE and spend time with her TNA friends.
Jon grinned, "Good that you're not staying permanently. I'd drag you back to WWE myself if I have to," he teased
"Oh trust me, I know," she replied. "I'm happy you guys understand. I'll be back in WWE before you know it!"
'Next Thursday, TNA'
"This is a Knockouts tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the team of Melanie and Velvet Sky!" Christy Hemme announced as Melanie and Velvet walked out to Velvet's music.
"Melanie is set for her match in her first TNA match in years. Her cousin, Chyna is in the crowd." Mike said as they got in the ring.
"Yep, Chyna. She was in a huge match with Kurt Angle against Karen and Jeff Jarrett. What a match that was." Taz looked on while Gail and Brooke got in the ring.
Melanie was wearing pants similar to AJ Styles and an AJ Styles shirt as a crop top.
Velvet starts off the match against Gail. She begins to taunt Velvet before pushing her head. Velvet spears her and starts unloading on her until the ref grabs her off. While the ref tries to hold back Velvet, Gail manages to hit her with a cheap shot, taking control of the match with her partner.
"Come on Vel!" Melanie cheered on as she tried to fight back and overpower Gail.
She manages to fight back against Gail's headlock and drops her down with a facebuster. Velvet crawls over to Melanie as she gets the tag and the crowd cheers. She runs in the ring as Gail stands up and Brooke scrambles in the ring. Melanie double clotheslines them as they both roll out the ring.
"She's all over the place. Good grief!" Taz exclaimed as she jumped through the ropes and on top of them.
"Welcome back Melanie!" Mike laughed.
She grins and gives him a high five before throwing Gail back in the ring. Gail scrambles to the turnbuckle, sitting down and tries to beg for mercy.
"That's not gonna work on me," Melanie shook her head, making her way to her.
But then Gail pulls her forward and throws her face first into the turnbuckle.
"Hard shot by Gail." Mike looked on and pinned her for a two count.
"Are you serious?" Gail complained.
She starts to take control of Melanie and then decides to pick her up to prepare for the eat defeat. Melanie manages to reverse it and gives her a backfire. She pins her but Brooke breaks it up.
"So close!" Taz exclaimed.
Velvet runs and tackles Brooke down, and takes care of her outside the ring.
Melanie decides to put Gail in the breakdown as she tries to break free. Gail manages to escape the hold by putting her foot on the rope. And near the end of the match, Melanie catches her in the backfire and pins her for the win.
"Here are your winners! Melanie and Velvet Sky!" Christy Hemme announced
Velvet goes into the ring to hug her as Chyna smiles and claps for them.
'Later'
Later on the night, Melanie was backstage, near the entrance, waiting for her cue to interfere in Bully Ray's match against Samoa Joe. After a producer told her that it was her cue to go out, She ran down the ring, still in her AJ Styles shirt but her pants had been replaced with jeans.
"Here comes Melanie!" Mike exclaimed as the crowd gave her a big pop.
She saw the ref down on the mat and Bully Ray hitting Samoa Joe with a chain off the ropes. She quickly motioned the ref to look at what Bully had done. The ref witnessed it and signaled for the bell to be rung while Melanie grinned in satisfaction.
"What?" Bully Ray exclaimed.
Earl Hebner (The ref) grabs the chain and shows it to Bully before throwing it back on the mat. Melanie looks amused at ringside but then Bully turns and glares at her while she gets in the ring.
"Your winner by disqualification Samoa Joe." Christy Hemme announced.
"You..." Bully Ray growled at Melanie after pushing the ref down.
He got right in her face but she stood her ground and narrowed her eyes. She would not be intimidated by him.
"What? Are you gonna do something?" She asked
"So, think you can come back and help your little friend out? AJ is going down and I am going to make you watch." He grabbed her arm.
She manages to knee him in the stomach as he stumbles away from her. Brooke and Garett Bischoff, allies of Bully Ray and members of his team called 'Aces & Eights' quickly get in the ring.
"Grab her!" He yelled as Melanie was grabbed by Garett. Bully grabbed her chin and forced her to face him. "You think you can assault me and get away with it little girl!? I should teach you a lesson about respect!"
"Screw you!" Melanie retorted.
All of a sudden, AJ runs down to the ring from the crowd and begins to unload on Bully as they roll out the ring. Melanie breaks free of Garett's hold as he turns his attention to AJ. Brooke tries to grab Melanie but she kicks her in the stomach as she stumbles to the turnbuckle. She starts unloading on her with punches before she throws Brooke out of the ring. The Philly Diva turns around and sees Garett back in the ring. She ducks his clothesline and AJ gets into the ring to clothesline him down.
AJ and Melanie glance at each other before striking Garett with a double dropkick as he falls out of the ring. Bully, Brooke and Garett scramble to the back.
Standing in the ring, she turned around to face AJ. She smiled widely and jumped on him for a hug as the crowd cheered loudly when he hugged her back.
But then, security rushes down the ring as they quickly escape them and go into the crowd and celebrate with them.
"Well, it seems the lone wolf and Melanie have reunited!" Mike exclaimed.
"Oh great..." Taz retorted. "AJ was supposed to be out of the building! Not inside the arena! Wasn't he escorted by Dixie?"
'Next week, Raw'
It was October 7th and Stephanie was in the ring while the crowd booed her loudly.
"I bet you all miss your precious Morgan, am I right?" She asked as the crowd cheered for Morgan. 'We want Morgan' chants surround the arena. "No, you don't want Morgan."
The 'We want Morgan' chants get louder as Stephanie gets annoyed.
"You want Morgan? Well, too bad, I terminated her contract and she will never ever be a part of the WWE again!"
"Stop!" A voice called out.
Stephanie turned her attention to the stage to see a woman running down the ramp with a mic.
"Who is she?" Cole asked.
"Please. Please give my daughter her contract back." The woman got in the ring while the crowd cheered for her.
"Well, well, if it isn't Jane Lopez. Morgan's mother." Stephanie retorted
"Stephanie, my daughter shouldn't have done what she did. I believe she learned the consequences. Just please give her back her contract,"
She chuckled. "Well Jane, it seems that I can't do that. You know why? Because you raised a wild child!" She spat as the crowd booed and Jane looked down. "How dare you have your daughter put her hands on me? Haven't you taught your daughter some manners?"
"Yes, I have. Sometimes I agree with what my daughter has done to you. I saw how you treated her. She did not deserve that and neither did the Rhodes family."
"I'm sorry, what did you just say? Do you think you can just come here and talk like that to me? I am Stephanie McMahon."
"Yes, we all know who you are. What we all don't like is your abuse of power." Jane remarked as the crowd cheered again.
"Abuse of power?" She asked before slapping her down to the mat as Jane held her face in shock. She starts unloading on Jane and yelling "Where's your daughter now? Where's your daughter Jane? She's not here to rescue you!"
"I cannot believe she just put her hands on Morgan's mother!" Cole exclaimed.
Stephanie throws her out of the ring and a ref rushes down to help her
"Morgan isn't going to stand for that." Cole guaranteed. "She isn't going to let Stephanie get away with this."
"I'm afraid for Stephanie's well being now," King added.
"Stephanie has a game plan. She knows what she is doing. Morgan is not a part of the WWE anymore." JBL reminded.
'Backstage'
Eva Marie was walking around and saw Dean Ambrose and the rest of The Shield prepping
"Hi guys." She gave them a grin while the crowd gave her mixed reactions
The Shield look at her in confusion. Although they were intimidating, Eva didn't seem to be scared.
"Is she crazy?" JBL asked.
"Who knows," Cole said
"So...any word on Morgan coming back?" She asked as they stared at her, unamused. She could feel herself blush at their attention. Especially Dean's. She was loving it all.
"Well...since she isn't on the WWE roster, I guess you need a new Shield's girl. I'm that girl for you. I can be The Shield's girl. First Lady, Harley Quinn, anything you want me to be. I'll do a better job than Morgan if you give me the chance. Think about it." She winked and walked away as The Shield glanced at each other.
"Is she serious?" Seth retorted while Roman shook his head.
-----
Offscreen, Jane walked backstage, talking with Stephanie who praised her for her efforts on working with her on the storyline.
"Jane?" Celeste grinned.
Jane turned around and her eyes lit up. "Celeste! It is so good to see you, sweetie." she hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Nice promo out there. You were great."
"Why thank you, doll baby."
"Hi, Jane!" April grinned
"April! So nice to see you, sweetie! How are you?"
"Great! We are so happy to have you here."
"I'm happy to be here too. It's so nice to be in the WWE." she said and turned to see Jon, Colby and Joe approaching them. "Jon!"
"It's great to see you here," he smiled after she gave him a hug and kiss.
Jane looked at Colby. "Ah, so you're the prankster."
"Guilty as charged." Colby grinned. "It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too. Melanie has told me all about your prank war with her. I'm rooting for you. Don't tell Melanie."
"I won't. I can't wait till she comes back. I got a lot of pranks to pull on her."
Jane turned to Joe. "You must be Joe. Melanie has told me a lot about you too. It's nice to meet you. She tells me how understanding and patient you are with her."
"Melanie is the best. It's nice to meet you, too." he smiled.
'Thursday, TNA'
Melanie was managing AJ while he was in a handicap match with two members of Aces & Eights. Knux and Garett Bischoff were taking control of AJ while Bully Ray was at ringside, on commentary.
"Come on AJ!" Melanie supported but he got butterfly suplexed by Garett.
AJ starts to fight back and hits Garett with a spinning kick in the face. AJ manages to roll up Bischoff for the win but then Knux and Garett gang up on him until Bully Ray gets in the ring with a chain.
Melanie gets on the apron, about to get in the ring but Brooke runs down the ramp and grabs her leg to bring her down. She hits her head on the apron and holds her head while Bully hits AJ with a chain.
"Brooke making sure Melanie doesn't get in the ring," Mike said. "Bully is trying to make sure AJ doesn't make it to Bound For Glory." He continued after Bully Ray was done hitting him with a chain.
AJ starts to get up and Bully Ray throws him over to the ramp as his theme comes on.
The members of Aces & Eights taunt the crowd as Bully Ray trash talks AJ.
"The last person you see will be me! The last voice you hear will be mine. I'm gonna take you out. I'm gonna bust you open AJ! I'm taking you away from here!"
"Can AJ even make it to Bound For Glory?" Mike asked as they got off the air.
'Next Thursday'
Melanie was backstage with AJ Styles. She had just heard the news that Dixie Carter put a bounty on him for 50 grand.
"Dude, they have a bounty on you! This is not cool." Melanie leaned on the wall.
"I got it handled," AJ reassured.
"You said that last week..." She rolled her eyes.
"We both got blindsided. It won't happen again. I'm going to go out there to respond to Dixie's bounty."
"Well, I'm coming with ya." she said and followed him when he started walking
'In the arena'
AJ and Melanie walk down the ring to his entrance theme. She walked in front of him and stopped at the end of the ramp as AJ stopped behind her. Once the song says 'Get ready to fly!' AJ removed his hood and did his taunt while Melanie did his taunt in front of him and kneeled a little. Melanie grinned and tagged some hands and AJ held the ropes for her to get in the ring.
She got on the top rope and did AJ's taunt with her hands while wearing a pair of his trademark gloves. Once she got off, she stood next to him and they both had mics in their hands.
"Dixie Carter, you reek of desperation. Are you kidding me? You want to put a bounty on my head and then give someone the opportunity to go to Bound for Glory if they take me out?" AJ exclaimed.
"Weak~." Melanie said and shook her head.
"I gotta tell ya, I'm flattered. I'm flattered because you know that I'm gonna win at Bound For Glory." AJ said as the crowd cheered. "You're scared to death, and you know when I win that World Heavyweight title at Bound For Glory, I am gonna make you pay."
'AJ' chanted surround the arena.
"She really needs to get put in her place. And we all want to see AJ make Dixie pay, right?" Melanie asked as the crowd cheered.
"So all of you, who want to cash in on your bounty, I'm not gonna run, I'm not gonna hide, come and get paid." AJ dropped the mic.
"He's nuts. He's crazy." Taz exclaimed.
"Dude, you sure?" Melanie asked after dropping her mic and he nodded. She decided to leave the ring and let AJ handle his business.
Moments later, backstage AJ was in the locker room and Melanie walked up to him.
"What the hell!? What happened to you now?! I leave you for 30 minutes and you're banged up?" She exclaimed.
"I got ambushed. I'm fine. I got away." AJ responded.
"This is not friggin' cool! We gotta do something."
"Mel, just for now let's focus on the contract signing."
She sighed. "Fine. You win."
"Good."
"What do you mean good? You don't always win." Melanie pushed him on the arm but then he winced in pain.
"Oh crap, I'm sorry!"
'In the ring'
"Ladies and gentlemen it happens this Sunday on PPV, The main event for Bound For Glory, in the presence of the President Dixie Carter, we will make it official. Here to do it are the combatants. Introducing first, the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Bully Ray." Jeremy Borash said, standing with Dixie Carter and Security.
One of them is holding the briefcase filled with 50 grand. With Brooke and Bully Ray already in the ring, AJ Styles and Melanie come out.
She walked in front of him and AJ stretched his arm. They stand at the end of the ring and do his taunt after they hear 'Get ready to fly.' Melanie jumped in the ring while AJ got in by the middle rope. She leaned on the ropes while AJ and Bully stood on the podium.
"Gentlemen it happens this Sunday on PPV, the main event of Bound For Glory. We need now to make it official, the World Heavyweight Champion will go first, Bully Ray if you will please?" Jeremy asked.
'AJ' chants surrounded the arena while Bully signed the contract and grabbed the mic.
"I did not waste any time signing that contract did I? I'm gonna make this real simple for you redneck. You can't beat me."
Melanie rolled her eyes and Bully took his hat off and put it on Brooke's head.
"You ain't got the brains in your head to beat me, you ain't got the passion in your heart to beat me and you ain't got the thunda' in your fists to beat me. I'll give you the microphone when I'm done!" Bully snapped at Jeremy, who wanted the mic back.
"Let me give you a little wrestling history lesson. In 1985, a man by the name of Ric Flair destroyed and took out 'The American dream' Dusty Rhodes. A month later Dusty Rhodes returned and told the world how Ric Flair had put him on hard times. How Ric Flair had put the wrestling industry on hard times. How Ric Flair had put the wrestling fans on hard times. How Ric Flair put Dusty Rhodes' family on hard times." Bully continued. "Fast forward almost 30 years later. Do you know who I am? I'm Bully Ray and for the past year and a half I have put the wrestling world on hard times. I started off with Jeff Hardy inside of a steel cage on Lockdown and became the World Heavyweight Champion. I defeated Sting at Slammiversary and made sure that he could never have a shot at the championship again."
Melanie sighed. She was getting bored as he rambled.
"I ran Chris Sabin back into your X Division. And make no mistake, I'm the guy that ran Hulk Hogan out of here and put him on hard times. What does this have to do with you? I can see the confusion in your eyes kid. In 3 days, at Bound For Glory, when I defeat you, I'm gonna put you on hard times. I'm gonna put your fans on hard times. I'm gonna put your little scank on hard times." he pointed at Melanie as the crowd booed him.
She glared at him and was about to step up to him but AJ put his hand out and she stopped.
"But most of all, I'm gonna put you on such hard times, that I'm gonna send you home a defeated man with no contract, with no championship and when you get back to that trailer park in Georgia, I wouldn't be shocked if your wife and 3 kids weren't there anymore. I'm the Darth Vader of the wrestling business. And you ain't no friggin' Luke SkyWalker"
Bully pushed the mic to AJ's chest.
"You know what, I can appreciate your little story, but let me remind you, you're no Ric Flair and I'm no Dusty Rhodes. That was in the past, we're in the future, kid," AJ said. "The fact that you can compare yourself to someone like Ric Flair just shows who you really are. And to disrespect Melanie just shows who you really are as well. Now it may be inappropriate, I may regret it tomorrow but let me tell these people who you are. You're no more than a big...dumb...bitch!" The crowd cheered as he pointed at Bully Ray.
Melanie laughed and high fived him while Brooke dropped her jaw. Bully looked taken aback by his comment.
"And you have no idea who you are getting in the ring with this Sunday. I have everything to lose and everything to gain. I have to win this Sunday. To make you beg." AJ pointed to Dixie. "To make you lose the World Heavyweight Title and everything that means to you." he pointed at Bully Ray. "I am the most dangerous, the most intense and the most desperate man you will ever get in the ring with. And I will beat you at Bound For Glory. And I will make you pay and be the next World Heavyweight Champion."
He signed the contract as Melanie patted his back.
"You know what Dixie? Hold up a second. I'm taking it back. I'm not putting my world title on the line. But what I am gonna do is cash in the 50Gs right now." Bully dropped the mic and threw the podium to AJ's chest as he grunted and stumbled back.
Brooke takes Melanie out with a cheap shot while she is distracted by the fight. She starts stomping on her and waits for her to get up as she has Bully Ray's title in her hands.
"Oh no, she isn't about to hit Melanie with that title, is she?" Mike asked with worry.
Melanie stands up and Brooke runs towards her with the title. She ducks at the last second and strikes her a spinning kick in the face as Brooke stumbles out of the ring. Bully tries to hit AJ with his chain but AJ moves out of the way and grabs the briefcase out of one of the security guard's hands, hitting him with it as he stumbles out the ring. AJ opens the briefcase and Melanie helps him throw the money at Dixie. Melanie laughs at Dixie trying to collect the money on the mat.
"You are looking at the new World Heavyweight champ. You might as well hand that over to me, right now!" AJ said to Bully as he stood in front of him by the ramp and raised up his title. "That is everything to me! That is gonna put food on my kids' table, that is everything to me." He pointed at the title.
"Can AJ close the deal? Can Styles gain the power and control of the champion? We'll find out on Sunday. You gotta join us at Bound For Glory." Mike said.

'Friday Night, at Melanie's parent's place.'
Melanie was with her Aunt Aria, watching Smackdown in the living room, on the couch.
"Miss wrestling in that ring huh?" Aria grinned.
"Guilty as charged," Melanie admitted.
"Did you see Triple H getting knocked out?"
"Yes! Man, I wish I was there! WWE had to make me leave when the good parts happen."
Aria laughed. "The firecracker is on." She said as she and Melanie watched Eva Marie in a Shield attire
"Wow." Melanie chuckled. Eva strutted to where The Shield are. "Man...Jon looks so hot in his Shield attire..."
"He does look like he's been working out." Aria added. "I know you two miss each other."
"Oh, you don't even know."
"I'm afraid to ask what you two will do to each other once you take one glance at one another." she giggled and then they continued to watch Eva on screen.
"Hi, guys. So...I was wondering if you think I should be in The Shield. I mean...you need someone who is more fiercer right? Morgan really isn't the girl for you. And that is all she is. A girl. You need a woman. A woman who can be a true believer in The Shield. She was forced to believe and has been pretending to believe for months. It's time for a change. I am that change." Eva said as The Shield glanced at each other. "I guess you need more time to think about it. I'm always patient. Especially for you Dean. You know...Morgan has been playing you for a while. She's only with you because she is forced to. She wants to leave The Shield. She said it herself."
"Hahah!" Melanie laughed.
"Dean...I think it's time for you to upgrade. To a real woman." She smirked as Ambrose gave her a blank stare.
"Wow. Eva really wants Morgan to hurt her." Melanie chuckled.
"Are you two friends offscreen?" Aria asked.
"Yep. That's my girl, right there. Creative had some talks about her getting involved. You'll see more on it on Total Divas,"
Later in the night, Dean Ambrose was walking backstage and Eva Marie rushed to him and held on to his arm.
"Hi, Dean!" Eva grinned.
Dean exhaled, looking annoyed. "Get off of me..." He retorted and pulled away.
"Of course Master J. Anything for you." Eva smiled while he walked away.
"Ha! Hahahaha." Aria laughed as she fell off the couch, while Melanie dropped her jaw.
"This chick is crazy!" she laughed and clapped her hands. "That was gold. Gold! Eva is living up to her annoying character,"
Later, Melanie and Aria watched Alberto's in ring segment with Josh, and then Melanie's phone rang.
"Ooh." She grinned and answered it. "Hello?"
"Melanie! It's great to hear your voice. How are you?" Stephanie asked.
"I'm great. Watching Smackdown as we speak. How are you?"
"I'm well, thank you. So, I just got done talking to Creative. We want you back in the WWE to continue the storyline. We are ready for you to come back,"
Melanie gets up from the couch and does some silent Jumping ballet dance moves out of excitement.
"Great!" Melanie cheered.
"We'll go into more details when you come by on Monday. Keep it a low profile. Details will be sent to you shortly,"
"Awesome." she got off the phone and jumped up and down. "Yes! Yes! Yes! I can't wait to see everyone again!"
"All good things happen to those who wait," Aria smiled
---
'Sunday, TNA Bound For Glory'
Backstage, Melanie helped AJ put on his jacket. "You don't have to baby me, you know?" AJ said.
"Just like old times. I know you don't want me to interfere and this is my last night, but if I see anything going on, I'm coming down there. I really hope you win. You deserve it."
AJ smirked and hugged her tightly as he thanked her for everything and for sticking by him.
"I'm sorry for everything," he said.
"I already said I forgive you. It's okay. We're okay. Now go out there and win that title." she grinned after he kissed her forehead.
Later on AJ's match against Bully Ray, Melanie watched backstage as Dixie Carter walked out.
Dixie asks the security for a chair and they give it to her. But then she gives it to Bully Ray. But then AJ springboards on the ropes and kicks Bully in the head with it. AJ pins him but Dixie tries to intimidate the ref as Bully kicks out.
Having enough, Melanie runs down the ring and goes to ringside as the crowd cheers. She watches in horror as AJ gets thrown onto the exposed boards of the ring while trying to do the piledriver on Bully.
"What are you doing here!? Get back! Go backstage!" Brooke yelled at her, who was managing Bully Ray at ringside.
"Uh oh," Taz said as Melanie and Brooke walked over to each other.
Brooke shoves her around but then Melanie spears her down and starts unloading on her. She then hits her with the backfire to take her out as the crowd cheers.
"Let's friggin' go!" Melanie shouted at the crowd
"Melanie! What are you doing?!" Dixie exclaimed but she ignored her and turned her attention to AJ.
"Come on AJ! No distractions! You can do it!" Melanie yelled as she saw him on the mat and Bully on the top rope.
Bully hits an elbow on him and blows a kiss to Dixie while Melanie looks at him with disgust.
"Yes!" Melanie cheered when AJ kicked out. She cringed when Bully hit him with a chair shot on the back and then he does it again. "AJ, come on! You've worked too hard to lose now!"
Bully positions AJ for the pile driver but AJ counters and kicks him on top of the head.
"Yes! Keep going! You got this!" Melanie cheered.
AJ grabs a chair and hits him with it.
"Knockout Blow," Mike said.
"No DQ and now it's backfiring on us. Dammit." Taz retorted.
AJ gets on the turnbuckle and points to Dixie and does the Spiral Tap on Bully. He pins him for the win.
"Yes! New champion!" Mike exclaimed.
Melanie jumped up and down and ran in the ring. She jumped on AJ as they hugged and celebrated
"This is a nightmare!" Taz exclaimed as the announcer announced that AJ was the new champion while Dixie got upset on the ramp.
After the show, Melanie breaks her Twitter silence with one tweet for her Morgan Lopez character that shooked the WWE Universe, '#WatchYourBack'
--------
'Next week, Monday Night Raw October 21st 2013'
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have some interesting news. Morgan has finally broken her silence after being away from the WWE for weeks. She has tweeted '#WatchYourBack' and I wonder what she means." Cole saod.
"I don't know but I can't wait to find out." JBL grinned.
"Sounds threatening."
"You think Stephanie is worried?" King asked.
"She should be," JBL admitted.
Later in the ring, Stephanie and Triple H were doing a promo.
"So, Morgan decided to tweet watch your back. Does she actually think I'm scared of her? I have way more power and I can have her arrested. No one can touch me. I mean, Morgan is the worst diva in WWE history! Who would want a diva who curses? Who would want a diva who slaps a boss? Who would want that? Who would want a diva to speak up for others and say everything that's on her mind? That's not a Divas Champion. A Diva's Champion is pure...strong... someone who stands out. Morgan is not that diva. And never will be. So tonight...I am stripping her of the title." Stephanie smirked as the crowd heavily booed. "No, no, no, I am doing you all a favor. This is best for business. So, do you want to see a new Divas Champion? Someone better than Morgan?"
The crowd chants 'No! No! No! No!'
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Stephanie grinned. 'We want Morgan' chants surround the arena. "Oh, you all don't mean that..." She waved them away while Triple H chuckled.
Suddenly, Brad Maddox quickly rushed down the ramp in panic and got in the ring as the crowd booed him.
"Stephanie, Triple H, I am sorry to bother you-" Maddox began.
"Give us one good reason why you just interrupted us." Triple H said, unamused.
"Um, w-we have a problem," Maddox said with nervousness.
"What?" Stephanie asked, not interested.
"M-Morgan is in the building," Maddox announced to a big pop from the crowd as Stephanie's eyes widened.
"What!?" King screeched.
"Well, that sparked Stephanie's interest," Cole said.
"There is going to be hell to pay," JBL said in amusement as Stephanie and Triple H started to panic
The crowd was exploding when they heard that one of their favorite divas was back.
"This crowd is electric!" Cole yelled.
Stephanie reluctantly looked around the arena in shock, and worry. This can't be happening, right now. Triple H on the other hand, was livid.
"What the hell do you mean, she's in the building?!" He yelled at Maddox as he tried to explain. "How did she get in!? How did she get in the arena!? Where was the security!? I thought you said you had everything handled!"
"Sir, I tried to but somehow she found a way." Maddox tried to explain.
"Do you know what you have just done!?"
"Where are you, Morgan?! Come out here and show yourself! Where are you, in the crowd?! Backstage? Come out right now!" Stephanie yelled, trying to act tough.
She had some backup, so she may be okay.
"Is she here? Is she really here?" Cole asked.
Morgan walked out on the stage, wearing black skinny jeans, black fingerless gloves and a black shirt with its sleeves cut up, as the crowd exploded. She smirked and put her hands on her hips.
"It's Morgan!" King screamed in a high pitched voice.
"Oh my!" Cole exclaimed.
She had the Diva's Championship around her waist and her hair was back to its straight and curly style.
"How did she get the title!? Maddox! This all your fault!" Triple H yelled
Morgan took the title off her waist and set it down. She started to take some steps down the ramp while Stephanie hid behind Triple H.
"Brad, do something! Do not let that woman in this ring!" she ordered as Brad reluctantly got out of the ring and walked up to Morgan.
"Stephanie isn't acting so tough now huh?" King taunted.
"Agreed," Cole said.
"Morgan, I'm going to have to ask you to leave," Brad ordered.
"Okay. I will. Right after I take care of something." Morgan walked past him but then Maddox grabbed her arm. She turned around and kneed him in the balls. "Don't touch me."
"This is what you get if you put your hands on Philly's diva." JBL said.
She grabs Maddox and hits him with the backfire on the ramp as the crowd cheers. Triple H and Stephanie's eyes widen and they look at each other. Morgan turns her attention to the ring and fixes her gloves.
"She's ready to pulverize Stephanie for what she did to her mother." JBL added
"Here we go!" Cole shouted as she ran into the ring.
She dodges Triple H and spears Stephanie as the crowd explodes. She starts unloading on her with punches while Stephanie starts screaming for dear life.
"Look at those punches!" King exclaimed.
Triple H grabs her off of her but she escapes his hold and smacks him right in the face as he stumbles back. She turns her attention back to Stephanie and runs after her but she runs out of the ring. The crowd boos
Stephanie as she runs up the ramp while Triple H follows her.
Morgan glared at them. "You will never get away with this!" She screamed.
"You're out of your mind!" Stephanie yelled as Triple H held her back.
Morgan tried to calm herself down and ran her hands through her hair. She turned her attention to Brad Maddox and got out of the ring. She grabbed a chair as the crowd cheered.
"Uh oh." Cole looked on.
The Outspoken Diva pointed to Stephanie and walked to Brad Maddox who was still trying to recover from her earlier attack, at the end of the ramp.
Angrily, Morgan hits him hard with the char.
"What a chair shot!" King exclaimed.
She started hitting Maddox with the chair again and again and again, taking her frustration out on him. After she was done she threw the chair away and did her taunt with her right hand as her theme came on.
"You are going down." The Philly Diva declared as the crowd backed her up, cheering loudly.
"Morgan has made her mark. She's back and back with a vengeance." JBL said
"Where is The Shield?! We need to do something!" Stephanie grabbed her husband by the suit, shaking him as he tried to calm her down.
"Calm down. We'll handle it." Triple H reassured

'Backstage'
Melanie walked backstage and was attacked by hugs from the divas.
"One at a time! Yikes! Don't squeeze me to death!" she laughed as she fell on the floor.
"I'm so happy you're back!" April gave her a big hug after the divas helped Melanie up.
"I'm happy to be back too." Melanie smiled. They all catch up she is told to go to Renee for an interview.
"Melanie! I missed you!" Renee smiled and hugged her.
"Hey! I missed you, too!" Melanie grinned.
They got ready for the segment and waited until Raw came back from their commercial break.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, the returning, Morgan Lopez." Renee smiled and the camera revealed Morgan as the crowd cheered loudly for her. Morgan did the rock on sign to the camera before giving Renee a small smile. "First I would like to say, welcome back."
"Thanks," Morgan said. "It's good to be back. Especially with the fans cheering me on. I never heard them give me this much loudness, so it's pretty awesome."
Renee smiled. "So, how do you feel about Stephanie? We all saw the violent attack you did to her, Triple H and Brad Maddox. How are you feeling right now?"
"I'm pissed! Beyond pissed! It's one thing to torment me, but it's another to get my family involved. Especially when you put your hands on my mother. After what I did to Brad, just think of what I'm going to do to you, Stephanie. All I have to say is...Stephanie...I'm coming for you." she looked at the camera with a serious face and walked away.
After the segment, Melanie started walking to the diva's locker room.
"Grapes!" Colby called out as she turned around and ran to give him a big hug as he spun her around.
"Colby! I missed you! What's up, man!?"
"So glad to have you back! Wait till you see the pranks I have for ya."
"Ooh, can't wait." She grinned but then squealed when she got bearhugged by Joe.
"There she is!" he cheered
"Joe!" she gets set down.
After catching up, Melanie goes back to the diva's locker room to grab her bags. "Hey, Anyone seen Jon?"
"Yeah, he's already at the hotel. He's waiting for you." Nikki winked.
"We all know what that means." Trinity teased.
Melanie blushed. "Haha. Can't wait to see him."
Later, Melanie goes to her hotel room. When she opened the door, she saw rose petals all over the floor leaving a trail from the entrance to the bedroom with candles. She grinned and looked around to see the lights dimmed as well. Walking to the bedroom, she saw more rose petals and the bed sheets were red and satin.
"I need to leave more often if I get this type of treatment," she teased when her waist was grabbed from behind by Jon. "Damn, this is nice,"
"You're back..." He murmured in her ear. She turned around and pressed her lips against his, smooching him deeply before breaking apart. "I missed you."
"I missed you, too. What's all this." She looked around.
"Ah...decided to do something a little romantic. Hope I did okay. I'm not used to doing this stuff but you deserve it." He rubbed the back of his neck and smiled.
She missed his cute little smiles when he always wanted to try something new.
"I love it!" She squealed when he picked her up and laid her on the bed.
"Glad to hear." He murmured against her neck before locking lips with her again.
Melanie started to gain control of the kiss as her hands traveled down to his jeans. Before she could unzip them, he grabbed her hands and shook his head.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
As much as he wanted to get things heated quickly, he wanted to take his time and show her how much she meant to him.
"I want this to be about you tonight. So just relax..." He put the covers over them as he began to kiss her again.
'WWE Main Event'
Stephanie and Triple H are in the ring. "As you can see, Stephanie and Triple H are in the ring. They decided to confront Morgan and her mother. I just hope this doesn't turn into a blood bath." Josh said.
Morgan and Jane walk out hand in hand as the crowd cheers for them. They tag some hands and walk in the ring.
"Well Morgan, I know that you want to settle this battle, and so do I. But, the board of directors has ordered a match for Hell in a cell. It will be you against AJ Lee for the Diva's Championship. If you win, I am forced to get in the ring with you and must leave you alone..." Stephanie said.
Morgan smirked. Stephanie had her hand out to shake her hand with her. She was about to shake it but got slapped by her as the crowd booed.
Angry, Morgan was about to attack her but Jane stopped her and stepped in front of her.
"Sweetie, it's okay. I'll handle it." Jane said and turned to Stephanie but then turned back around and slapped Morgan as the crowd was shocked.
"What?!" Miz and Josh exclaim.
Morgan was stunned and looked at her mother. "What the hell? Why would you just slap-" She began but got grabbed by Jane for the backfire as the crowd booed
"Jane just backfired her own daughter!?" Miz shouted as she shook hands with Stephanie.
"Welcome back Morgan!" Stephanie taunted and raised hands with Triple H and Jane.
Triple H's theme came on while Morgan held her head and looked at them with confusion.
"Are you kidding me?" Miz asked.
"I'm so confused right now," Josh added.
"Was this a plan by Stephanie and Jane from the beginning?"
"What a swerve..."
'WWE Exclusive Video'
"What do you think of your mother's actions?" Renee asked.
"Well, she got brainwashed," Morgan declared. "Stephanie is deep in her head and that caused her to do what she did. It was a setup. Right now I'm not happy at all and I am pretty pissed off that my mom gave me a backfire but you know what? Stephanie started this and I will end it."
'Later'
Melanie and Jane chat backstage. "Did I do that DBT right?" Jane asked.
Melanie laughed. "It's called a DDT."
"Oh! I have to remember that."
"Haha, you did it well. Even though it took us a while to try to do it." she giggled at the memory of her and Jon trying to teach Jane the DDT.
-----
Jon watched in amusement, on the apron as Melanie and Jane were in the ring, hours before Raw. Melanie had on a sports bra and gray sweatpants.
"Okay, you put me in this position..." Melanie began as she was in the backfire position in Jane's arms.
"Uh, I don't want to hurt you, sweetie," she said in a wary tone.
"Mom, I got this. Kick your leg out and drop me."
Jane obeyed and kicked her leg out to give her the backfire. Melanie dropped down the mat hard.
"Oh my gosh! Sweetie are you okay?!" she freaked out when she got up and still saw she was on the mat.
Melanie got up, unharmed and chuckled. "I'm fine, mom,"
She sighed out of relief. "Great! How did I do?"
Jon and Melanie give her a thumbs up and she cheered
-----
'Smackdown'
Morgan was backstage, primping as the crowd gave her a loud reception. Eva Marie walked over to her as the crowd booed her heavily. "Well, well, it's the so called Shield's girl."
Morgan rolled her eyes. "What do you want...?"
"I'm so sorry about your mom. Maybe it was for the best." she chuckled. "Never mind, I didn't come to say that to you. What I wanted to say was that...your spot is going to be taken by me. The Shield want me as their new Shield's girl."
Morgan scoffed and started to put on lip gloss. "Well, if you want to get your ass beat again, I have no problem doing that."
Eva Marie glared at her and slapped the lip gloss out of her hands as the crowd looked on with shock and said 'Oh!'
Morgan exhaled, trying to maintain her patience and slowly turned to face her with a scowl.
"Oops, my hand moved on its own." she heard Eva mention.
"You know...I saw your little moments with my boys. Enjoy it while it lasts."
"Oh, I will. You know, Dean has been working out a lot. He even lets me feel his muscles."
"I don't know how many times it will take for you to get through that head of yours that Dean is mine and you should stop trying. You see, those." Morgan pointed at her chest. "Will not win you anything. This is why you can't be me. I don't flaunt my body around. And I don't rub every accomplishment in people's faces. You say that you are going to replace me but you can't. A, you don't that the heart that I have in the ring, B, you don't have the guts I have in the ring, and C... your jaw is messed up." She said before punching her straight in the face.
Eva held her mouth in shock as she fell on her butt.
"Oops, my hand moved on its own. Joke's on you," she smirked and walked away while Eva continued to hold her face.
"Wow. Well, Morgan is in action next." Cole said as Smackdown went to a commercial break.
'In the ring'
AJ gave Morgan a spinning kick in the face as she fell face first on the mat. She then began to skip around in the ring.
"AJ and her skipping," Cole said.
While AJ was taunting the crowd, Morgan got up and started giving her repeated clotheslines until and hit her with a dropkick.
Morgan gets on the top rope and waits for AJ to get up to give her a crossbody.
"Beautiful move!" JBL complimented.
She was about to pin her but then Jane runs down the ring as the crowd boos her.
"What is Jane doing here?" Cole asked with confusion.
"What are you doing here?" Morgan asked as she walked to the ropes and gave her mother her full attention.
"Is she trying to apologize?" JBL asked as Jane tried to plead for forgiveness.
But then AJ grabbed Morgan for a roll up and won the match.
"Here is your winner! AJ Lee!" Lilian announced.
"Are you kidding me!?" Morgan yelled at Jane who smiled innocently.
'Later on Smackdown'
The Shield guards the ring while Jane stands in the ring. The crowd booed her heavily for what she did to Morgan.
"Is that any way to treat a woman? To boo her? That is disrespectful!" Jane exclaimed.
"Disrespectful has become Jane's catchphrase as of late," Cole informed.
"I know you all want to know why I'm doing what I'm doing to my daughter. Well, my reason is that Stephanie is right. Morgan needs to respect her and Triple H. They were right about everything and I believe that this is best for business."
"Jane has become a puppet for Stephanie. She fed her lies." Cole said with disappointment.
"Enough! Stop with the best for business crap!" Morgan's voice was heard as she walked on the stage with a mic. The crowd erupted in cheers as she wore jeans and a Hounds of Justice shirt.
"Oh, sweetie! You're here! Great. Don't worry Shield, you can let my lovely daughter pass. We need to have a mother daughter talk."
Morgan walked down the ramp and stopped, looking at her team.
"I wonder what The Shield thinks about all this." JBL said.
"I wonder what Ambrose thinks about this," Cole recalled as Ambrose and Morgan locked eyes.
"A lot of history between these two,"
"Um, hello? Morgan, get in the ring, please. Come to mommy!" Jane said impatiently
Morgan reluctantly walked past Ambrose and got in the ring. She looked at her mother in disappointment and shook her head.
"Don't you dare shake your head at me? I did this out of love! Love!" Jane shouted
"Do you hear yourself right now? You've been brainwashed." Morgan stated.
"Brainwashed? Ha! I beg to differ." she scoffed.
"At Hell in a Cell, Morgan will take on AJ Lee and defend her Diva's Championship against her. If Morgan wins, she will continue her reign as champion and Stephanie McMahon will be forced into the ring with her and must leave Morgan alone. What a match that is going to be." JBL said.
"You see sweetie; Mommy did what she did because it was best for business," she informed her. Morgan laughed and she started to get upset. "Stop laughing! Don't laugh at your mother!"
"Oh my gosh! I cannot believe you got brainwashed! You got attacked by Stephanie and now you are aligning with her? Knee slapper! Knee slapper!" Morgan exclaimed as the crowd took over and chanted 'Knee slapper'
"Knee slapper? The only knee slapper I should have is how you have bad taste in men." Jane snapped.
That caught Dean's attention. His facial expression turned to confusion as Roman and Seth glanced at him. Then he slowly around, giving Jane a stare.
"Uh oh," Cole murmured.
Morgan looked around. "Excuse me?"
"He is only going to break your heart. Don't pick the street dog. He is a bum. You shouldn't be with him, sweetie." Jane pointed at Dean as Morgan looked down and the crowd booed. "I mean, he's made you so violent over the months. I mean, what you did on Raw was uncalled for. Come back to Mommy, not The Shield. They are not good for you."
That caught Seth and Roman's attention as they turned around.
"Stephanie was right, you can be a wild child when you are with The Shield. From kicking people in the face to giving Brad Maddox those chair shots," she went on. "I mean, you have acted like Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins but not Roman and I do not want you to explore your beast mode. Those men are not a good influence on you. So please, do not go back to The Shield. Come back to mommy. Mommy knows best."
Jane smiled and had her arms out for a hug. The crowd chants 'No! No! No!'
Morgan put the mic to her lips. "Mom. I love you and I always will no matter what. I'd never put my hands on you or even dare to call you a bad name." she decided to give her mom a big hug.
She then got out of the ring and started walking past The Shield but then stopped. "But...as for my taste in men. I think my taste in men is just fine."
She turned around and made her way to Ambrose. Grabbing him by the neck, she pulled him in for a heated kiss, making Jane drop her jaw.
"Oh my God!" Cole exclaimed as the crowd cheered loudly.
Dean and Morgan started making out as he slowly wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close while her arms wrapped around his neck.
"No! Get off of my daughter!" Jane shouted while Seth and Roman looked amused.
Morgan stopped the kiss and wiped the corner of her mouth with her right thumb before turning her attention to Jane.
"Sorry Mom, but my relationship with Dean is justified." She said as her theme came on.
Jane started freaking out in the ring while Morgan taunted the crowd and made her way up the ramp. Dean smirked and touched his lips
"I guess we got our answer that Morgan isn't going to stop hanging out with The Shield," JBL said.
"I still can't get over that kiss!" King exclaimed.
"Yeah. That kiss was Justified." Cole said with amusement.

'Backstage Fallout with Jane'
"How do you feel about your daughter and what she did?" The interviewer asked
"I am disgusted at how that street dog put his hands all over my daughter! Those hands were close to her behind! That is dis-re-spect-ful! My daughter will not be with that dog any longer. I'm making sure they don't stay together. My daughter deserves better. Much better. She needs an upgrade and Mommy will find her a real man. Ugh! I cannot believe my daughter would kiss that dog! And with the tongue! They were sucking each other's faces off! Disgusting! My daughter should not be kissing that way! Mommy knows best! Good day!" She walked away with a determined look.
After the cameraman stopped rolling, he looked shocked.
"Your mother got some talent." He complimented as Melanie stood next to him and smiled.
"Yeah, she's always like this when it comes to wrestling. She'll be on full throttle and make sure that she does her best at all times."
"How did I do sweetie?" Jane asked, walking over to Melanie as the cameraman walked away.
"That was amazing. I did not know you could vent like that."
"This is so fun! I love the WWE! I want to wrestle. Maybe I can be the New Shield girl,"
"Okay, you are pushing it." She laughed with her.
