OOC - Good luck everyone this week. I’ve tried to concentrate on more out of ring stuff as thats what I’ve wanted to do with Bayley for ages but just not had a chance to yet.
--------------------------
Asleep in her hotel room, the sudden vibrating sound of her phone woke Pamela with a start. Bleary eyed she checked the name, it was Jay her agent. A picture of him dressed in a white 70’s suit filled the screen and made her smile. She always felt waking up smiling was the best way to start the day.--------------------------
Jay - HEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYY HEY BAYLEY! OOOH AH. I WANT TO KNOOOW IF YOU’LL BE MY GIRL!
Jay - Pammy baby, how’s things!? Is it leg day?
Bayley - Nope.
Jay - Hmmmmm, arm day?
Bayley - Nope.
Jay - Oh, shoulder day?
Bayley - Nope.
Jay - Ermmmmmm, elbow day?
Bayley - Nope.
Jay - Well I’m afraid I’m running out of body parts you could be working on you gorgeous grappler!
Bayley - It’s rest day. I was asleep.
Jay - Oh…..
Bayley let the silence hang in the air before chuckling.
Bayley - It’s ok, I needed to get up anyway.
Jay - Sorry for waking you up Pammy baby, I just wanted to check in with my little hugaholic!
Immediately the enthusiasm was back in Jay’s voice.
Jay - I’ve just got the reports through on your merchandise sales from the EBWF head honchos and you my little lovely are smashing it! Here was me thinking all this goodie two shoes act…..
Bayley - Hey you know it’s not an act!
Jay - Well act or not, you’ll be able to retire by the end of the year the amount of t-shirts you’re selling! It’s fantastic!
Bayley - It’s been crazy, I just keep doing what you tell me to do Jay.
Jay - Well Pammy baby if I could bottle that attitude I’d be the richest man alive. You’re doing really well at the moment.
Jay let the compliment hang in the air. She was terrible at taking such praise and he knew she would be squirming on the end of the phone trying to come up with a response. But he switched to a much more serious voice.
Jay - I’m guessing you heard about Joanie.
There was another long pause.
Bayley - Yeah I did. It’s pretty awful. I wouldn’t even be here without people like her. It’s crazy people will never really know just how much she done behind the scenes here as well.
Jay - I know. I spoke to her a few weeks ago and she had nothing but good things to say about you. Made us laugh how different your characters are. She was wondering how it would have gone if she’d pitched the hugger gimmick to Vince McMahon all those years ago how that would have gone down. Haha.
Bayley - If I can achieve one tenth of what she did for women’s wrestling in my career I’ll be happy.
Both of them fell silent. It was unusual for them to have such a serious chat. Their conversations took the same format, Jay joked and Pamela bashfully responded, so this was new ground for both of them.
Bayley - I kinda want to do something for her at Warfare. I don’t know what though. I’ve asked at the EBWF if I can get some gear made up in DX colours, maybe get 9th wonder written on there somehow. I dunno. It’s a silly idea really…….
A complete lack of self belief crept into Bayley’s voice. Jay hated it when she put herself down.
Jay - No way, it’s a great idea. I’ll make some phone calls and see if I can make it happen. But you know you don’t need to do any grand gestures. She’d never want you to change up your butter wouldn’t melt in the mouth character for her.
Changing like a flash, Jay’s voice went back to it’s usual chirpy tone.
Jay - Actually Pammy baby, that reminds me. You’ve got a match with Alexa Bliss week don’t you!? Can you do me a favour.
Bayley - Errrrmmm I guess so.
Jay - Put in a good word for me!
Bayley - JAY! Am I not good enough for you?!
Jay - Goodness me, you’ve got a jet pack sending you to the moon baby, you’re a star in the making, I don’t need any more clients. But Alex Bliss, has certain other qualities…… it’s been a loooooong time since I had a date and…..
Bayley - Jay there is no way I’m trying to hook you up with Alexa! She’s been so sweet since I arrived in the EBWF, I’m not going to risk that by introducing her to you!
Pamela’s voice was joking and playful as ever with him.
Jay - Awwwww you’re mean sometimes! If you wasn’t so loveable I’d be annoyed. Right don’t forget you’ve got a promo to record this afternoon for EBWF.com about you’re match. Feel free to mention how as a consolation for losing this match Alexa can go on a date with your dashingly handsome agent, all expenses paid…..
Bayley - Bye Jay!
She hung her phone up and and tossed it over the other side of the bed and smiled to herself as she pulled the covers over her head.
---------------------------------------
Cameraman - Right Bayley, it’s only a short one today. Just a little something for the website.
Bayley stood in her full wrestling attire. She looked down and smiled, Jay was true to his word and they had pulled through for her. The trousers were bright green colour and a small patch down the left leg was patterned with a repeating design of “9th Wonder” on it. She had not expected them to get it done in time. She did not think they would do something so custom just for her, she was not a main eventer star by any stretch of the imagination. The trousers looked brilliant. It was not much, but the least she could do for someone she respected so much. The rest of her outfit was still coordinated in the same colours. She was pleased as she was paying her own little tribute but not compromising her character at all. Make up artists busied around her making a final few touches and adjustment to her side ponytail before leaving her.
Cameraman - Ok, ready to roll everyone in 5,4......
Bayley flashed her pearly white smile as the cameraman made the final countdown with his fingers.
Bayley - Hey this is Bayley and I’m here to speak to all the fans in the EBWF Universe. This Monday at the Scottrade Centre in Missouri I’m going one on one with Alexa Bliss. And believe it or not I’m even more excited than normal! Since joining the EBWF there’s one person I’ve gotten on best with and can call a friend and that is Alexa Bliss. She’s had her problems with some of the other divas but at the end of the day she’s always been one of the good girls in the back. So at Warfare I’ve got a chance to step in the ring and have some fun. I’ll bring my A game, so will Alexa and you can bet we’ll tear the house down. And as much as I love you and respect you Alexa, there’s a Bayley to belly suplex with your name on it! But don’t worry I’ll give you a hug when it’s over honey!!!
With that Bayley winked to the camera and blew it a kiss.
