VELVET SKY

Velvet Sky stood backstage at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. The beauty from Connecticut was in the middle of speaking with a worker backstage when a male approached her from behind. She could feel a set of eyes on her and slowly turned around to face none other than her ex boyfriend, PJ Black. PJ stood there with his Path to Glory championship resting over his muscular shoulder with a cocky smirk on his face.

paul.lloyd.jr;;pj.black: Oh, hey there... Velvet. Wow, looks like you're actually going to try and wrestle a match tonight. Interesting.

Velvet narrowed her eyes at him, unamused by his condescending tone.

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: What do you want?

She practically hissed her words at him. PJ simply chuckled in response. The backstage hand Velvet had been talking to looked like they wanted to speak up. That was until PJ Black shot them a warning look and they dismissed themselves from the conversation without another word.

paul.lloyd.jr;;pj.black: I just wondered if you caught my match last week. You know... I won. I seem to be doing that a lot lately since I cut you loose...

PJ paced around her, his fingers grazed against her black and blonde hair. She instantly recoiled away from him.

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: Cut me loose? Funny that I remember it being me who walked out on you. And don't touch me!!

Velvet smacked his hand away from her hair.

paul.lloyd.jr;;pj.black: Think you'll win your match tonight?

Velvet glared at him.

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: What does it even matter to you?

paul.lloyd.jr;;pj.black: It doesn't really. I just already know the outcome.

PJ shrugged his shoulders.

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: Which is....?

paul.lloyd.jr;;pj.black: You, losing. Like always. I mean let's face the facts here Velvet, you can barely beat one person in the ring, let alone three. The odds are against you. But then again the odds always seem to be against you, to the point where it affected me. Now that I'm free of your bad luck, of you... dragging me down... I'm a winner. That's something you'll never experience and deep down inside, Velvet, you know it too.

Velvet bit her lip. His words made her blood boil. She continued to glare a hole through him, hating that he was gaining amusement from all this.

paul.lloyd.jr;;pj.black: But don't worry, Vel, whenever you give up this trashy biker look and want to go back to those tight dresses and heels, give me a call. I might still be up for having you around, then. Maybe.

He laughed and walked off, leaving her standing there with her fists balled at her sides. It had taken everything in her not to slap the taste right out of his mouth. The cameras cut away to another segment.

-----------------------------------------------

Later in the evening the cameras returned backstage where Velvet Sky stood along Michael Cole who held the microphone up to his lips.

one.and.only;;michael.cole: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time, Velvet Sky.

Velvet did her best to smile and nod.

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: Hey Cole.

one.and.only;;michael.cole: Velvet, if you don't mind me asking why you seem a bit off this evening. Is there something on your mind?

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: That's the understatement of the century. I have a lot on my mind.

one.and.only;;michael.cole: Care to elaborate for us?

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: There are just some individuals around here that are going to start regretting messing with me. You can only push me so far before I finally snap back, and Michael, I'm right on the edge.

one.and.only;;michael.cole: Does this have anything to do with your former boyfriend Justin Gabriel?

Velvet nodded her head before she spoke again.

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: A lot of it yes, and you know what, it's fine.

one.and.only;;michael.cole: It is?

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: Yes, because it only gives me more motivation to prove everybody wrong. I'm sure my ex isn't the only one doubting that I can pull through this match tonight. But I'm here to tell you that I'm taking this thing all the way. I've got everything to prove right now and tonight it all begins. I'm going to pull out all the stops to ensure that it's ME who goes on to face the EBWF Women's Champion, Trish Stratus.

one.and.only;;michael.cole: Do you have anything to say to your opponents this evening?

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: Ladies, tonight, it is all or nothing. We all have a chance to win a spot to face Trish Stratus, and I know we're all equally hungry for that opportunity. But only one of us is going to walk away tonight the number one contender and you're all looking at her right now. 2016 will be a new and prosperous year for Velvet Sky. I don't care if you're brand new to the EBWF like Bayley, you've been lingering in and out of the lime light like Eva Marie, or if you've been in and out of this company more times than most people change their underwear, like AJ Lee.

Velvet smashed her leather gloved hand into her opposing hand.

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: You can keep your cheaply dyed red hair, your inflatable armed tube men and Wal-Mart brand headbands. None of that will get you passed me tonight. I'm in it to win it. Ladies, consider yourselves warned.

Velvet Sky brushes passed Cole without another word. Michael smiles back at the camera.

one.and.only;;michael.cole: ...and there you have it folks, straight from Velvet Sky who tonight will go on to face Eva Marie, Bayley and AJ Lee in a four way battle for the number one contender for the EBWF Women's Championship. That match... is next!

Michael Cole nodded as the camera cut out to black.
