Kadence Edwards struggled to open the door to her hotel room, while fighting back tears. Finally she was able to get the door opened and she sank to the floor bursting into tears. She had known when she received the call to become Raw's newest diva that it would be difficult but never in her worst nightmares had she imagined it would be this bad. She had been with the WWE for 6 years and it wasn't like they were mean to her, actually they weren't anything to her. It was almost as if she didn't exist. Sure she worked out with some of the divas but she never hung out with anyone outside of work. Most of the WWE superstars didn't even know her name. Almost all of them called her Katie or some variation of that and coming from a close knit family, this was really hard for her. She missed having someone to talk to and this is what she cried for. After having a good cry, Kadence got up off the floor and went into the bathroom to splash cold water on her face. Making the decision to not let anything get in the way of her dream to be the most dominate diva in the WWE, Kadence changed into her workout clothes to go running. She grabbed her iPod off the bed and headed out the door.

Since the day was so nice out Kadence decided to run outside. She knew it would help clear her head better anyways. She headed across the hotel lobby towards the front door. As she walked across the lobby, she started messing with her iPod and didn't pay attention to were she was walking. All of a sudden she ran into someone and lost her balance. As she started to fall, Kadence felt someone grab her.

"Whoa. Careful there. We wouldn't want anything to happen to such a pretty lady, now would we? An amused voice said.

Glancing up, Kadence groaned inwardly as she realized that she had run into Dave Batista, the World Heavyweight Champion. "I'm so sorry." Kadence stuttered, blushing as she quickly moved away from Batista and out the front door. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Kadence chanted to herself as she ran. I can't believe I ran into Batista! He probably thinks I am the world's biggest klutz. Way to go Kadence!

Soon all thoughts of Dave and the last six years fled from her mind as she lost herself in her running.

Dave watched in amusement as the petite brunette moved away from him and out the front door. "If I didn't know better I would think she was running away from me." He muttered under his breath as he moved towards the front desk to check in. As he approached he ran into Jeff and Matt Hardy.

"I see you made the acquaintance of our newest diva." Jeff said in greeting.

"I guess." Dave said smiling. "Not very chatty is she? So what can you tell me about her?"

Jeff paused for a moment before answering. "You know I can't tell you much of anything. All I know is what I see at work. Her name is Kadence Edwards. She's been with us for 6 years. She works hard and stays pretty much to herself. I have heard rumors that they may be giving her a title run. She seems nice enough. And that pretty much sums up everything I know about her." Jeff finished with a shrug. When Dave looked questioningly at Matt, he agreed with what his brother said.

Dave finished checking in and grabbed his key. "Want to get something to eat?" He asked the brothers. They answered to the affirmative and Dave asked one of the bell boys to take his bag to his room, slipping him a $20. After making sure his bags woiuld reach his room safely, Dave ant the Hardy brothers headed to the hotel restaurant and got a table that had a clear view of the hotel lobby. While they were eating Dave noticed Kadence reappear. He watched as she stopped and talked to a man before looking around and leading him out of the lobby.

"Know who the guy is?" Matt asked when he noticed who Dave was watching.

"Nope but he looks familiar. You recognize him?" Dave answered without taking his eyes off Kadence as she made her way to the stairwell. Both Matt and Jeff glanced at the guy before shaking their heads no.

"He does look familiar, maybe he's a fan." Matt said as they paid their check and left.
