OK. My apologies for being late with Part 2 of this two-shot. I had been trying my hardest to get this done sooner than now, but work and me getting wiped from said work got in my way...so, to everyone that I kept waiting for Part 2, I hope this pleases those that have been cool enough to give this little two-shot of mine a read. I hope you all enjoy Part 2, my loves. =)

February 20, 2017 - Monday Night RAW

Tonight was the big night. Tonight was the night that Bayley was expected to make an appearance in front of the WWE fans and address her title win from the week before. This was still something that was making her feel pretty nervous because, even though she did something like this when she had first won the NXT Women's Championship, she was going to have to go out in front of a crowd of thousands-and possibly many more watching at home-of excited fans, just waiting to shower her with congratulations that she still felt like she didn't fully deserve...a full week after her win.

"I can't believe you're actually going to do this, Bayley," Sasha Banks said as she shook her head while sitting backstage with Bayley an hour before her segment.

"Sasha, I have to. OK?" Bayley said to her pink-haired friend before she began to explain herself. "Sasha, look. I know you did what you did last week to help me out, and...I really do want to thank you for that. But it still doesn't help things that I didn't win this belt by myself. And you should know that getting help doesn't fall in with the Bayley way of doing things. ...Which is why I feel like I should give up the belt."

"Still don't really know just what the Bayley way of doing things is," Sasha brought up. "I always thought that was just some way you had of organizing your closet back at your place."

"Well, that's one example of the Bayley way," the ponytailed brunette agreed with Sasha letting out a short laugh. "No, this is a different Bayley way I'm talking about here."

"And that would be...what, exactly?" Sasha asked, hoping to get a clearer answer from the brunette Champion.

"What I mean is that I won it by myself with no help. I'd rather have gotten a clean win all on my own than gotten help to win what's pretty much been my biggest match since I first got to RAW," Bayley explained. "And, again, this isn't to say that you helping me was bad or anything, Sasha. It just...feels bad to me. Makes me feel like I cheated just to win."

While Sasha didn't quite agree with this mindset her ponytailed friend had, she could see where Bayley was coming from. After all, for as long as she had known Bayley, Sasha could say that her friend had some rather...childlike views on certain things, cheating being one of them. But, what she did for her last week, ...the pink-haired former Champion still couldn't see why Bayley saw it as cheating; if anything, she was just evening things up since Charlotte was getting help from Dana Brooke during the match.

"So, you really think that what you did was cheating just because I came out and helped you?" Sasha finally asked. "That it's all enough to make you want to give up the belt?"

"Yeah, Sash, it is. I...I just hope I don't make too many people mad with what I'm going to do," Bayley nervously said, casting a glance over where her belt was.

Seeing the somewhat nervous look on the ponytailed champion's face, Sasha couldn't help the slight laugh that seemed to escape her. Walking over to where Bayley was standing, the pink-haired woman simply raised a hand, and, curling it into a fist, lightly tapped Bayley on the shoulder. With Bayley now looking at her, Sasha said "Bayley, relax. I know that this is something that you really don't want to do, ...but don't worry. I'm sure the fans will understand once they hear you out, they'll understand."

"Thanks, Sasha," Bayley smiled. "At least I know I'll have you on my side when I have to deal with whatever happens after this."

"It's no problem. After all, that's what friends are for," Sasha smiled.

"Yeah. You're right," Bayley agreed with a nod before doing something that had become customary of her, which was giving her pink-haired friend a hug.

"Aren't I always?" Sasha teased. The two had stayed in their hug for a couple minutes longer before a crew member came and told Bayley that it was time for her segment. Pulling away from her friend, Sasha said "Well, looks like you're up. Good luck out there, champ."

"Thanks, Sash," Bayley smiled before giving Sasha a quick hug, grabbing her championship belt, and heading out of her locker room as she made her way to the gorilla and out to her judgment ground.

A Couple of Minutes Later

Standing in the ring, Bayley couldn't help but smile at all of the "You deserve it" chants and just applause and cheers that she was getting from the fans over her championship win. She couldn't help the slight burn of tears that she began to feel from all of this. Sure, she had gotten a fairly large reaction from the fans of NXT when she first won the NXT Women's Championship. But the pop she was getting now...it felt unlike anything she ever experienced before.

'Oh my god. Everyone's so excited to see me right now. ...It's really going to be a downer when I give this up,' Bayley thought, a stray tear rolling down her face.

Raising the mic to her mouth, Bayley began to speak. "Wow. This is...this is all so crazy. Thanks so much for all of the love and support you guys have been giving me. Honestly, I never would've thought something like this would happen to someone like me. I mean, I've been a fan of wrestling my whole life. Why, I even remember when I was a kid. One thing I would always ask my dad to do was to take me to a WWE show whenever one was in town, but we never could because tickets always seemed to be sold out. So, when I could finally go to a show, I just loved my time there. The energy of the fans, the wrestlers in action and the matches they had...now I know how all of you guys feel."

Lowering the mic for a bit as the cheering of the fans seemed to pick up in volume and in number, Bayley raised her mic and continued. "And one thing I always thought was cool was watching matches for championships happen. While I was watching those, I couldn't help but imagine a future me in the ring competing for a championship belt of her own. Which, I can proudly say I've done twice to much success."

As Bayley raised her belt in the air, the fans once again cheered with a large number resuming the "You Deserve It" chants from earlier. At this point, the ponytailed brunette had tears freely streaming down her cheeks over all of the love that she was getting from the fans. Lowering the belt, Bayley took a deep breath in before letting it out. "But, ...that's just the thing. A lot of you guys have been saying that I deserve this, but honestly...I don't. No, I don't deserve this belt!"

Hearing their new RAW Women's Champion say this, a large portion of the crowd seemed to erupt in a singular "What?!" while a smaller portion of the crowd could already be heard starting a "NO!" chant, as they seemed to know what was coming next.

Before the fans tried to hijack her promo, Bayley went on to say "Look. I know a lot of you guys are pretty happy that I won last week. And I am too, don't get me wrong. ...I just don't like how I won this belt. While getting help from Sasha saved my chances of winning this, that still doesn't change the fact that I cheated. This may not be something that you guys like hearing me say, but I have to get this off my chest. Getting help from Sasha to get the win last week hasn't been sitting well with me, and so...I've come to the decision that I-"

But before Bayley could finish her sentence, the opening of "Recognition" began as the former Champion sauntered out and began to make her way down to the ring, microphone in hand and a smirk on her face.

"Oh, Bayley. You're making the right choice and doing the right thing. After all, you really didn't earn that belt last week when you beat me. I mean, getting help? That's something that I didn't think little Bayley needed in such a big match," Charlotte said as she climbed into the ring.

"Well, actually I didn't. In fact, I'd say that I was doing pretty darn great against you. After all, I did have you on the ropes a few times," Bayley brought up, getting some cheers from the fans.

"That's because I wanted you to feel like you could actually hang with a real champion like me," Charlotte shrugged. "Anything other than that was just pure dumb luck on your end."

"Oh, really? Pure dumb luck?" Bayley asked, beginning to feel a bit annoyed that Charlotte seemed to think the only reason why she was Champion now was all because she got lucky. ...And since Charlotte had already mentioned her getting help from Sasha,... "Well, what about you getting help from Dana? Care to explain that?"

"Dana was just doing what she was felt was the best thing was to keep the match from getting ruined. And, for that, I thank her for what she did," Charlotte defended.

"And, that was what? Trying to keep me held in place so you could land hits on me? That what you call keeping the match from getting ruined?" Bayley asked, slowly beginning to second guess her earlier decision.

"I honestly have no idea what you're talking about," the blonde played innocent. "I just had someone looking out for what was best for the match...and that was me retaining my championship belt. Which, I believe you were about to kindly give back to me."

Hearing all of this, Bayley couldn't seem to believe any of what Charlotte was saying. The whole time the blonde woman had been RAW Women's Champion, Bayley couldn't help but notice that it seemed like with the majority of her title defenses, she always managed to find some way to keep the belt, most of these times being because she got help from Dana. And, now that Bayley had gotten help just once, it was a problem? ...After weighing all of this in her thoughts, Bayley reached a decision. One that, even though it was going against everything in her, was one that she felt was the right choice to make.

"No," Bayley simply said.

Not seeming to believe what the ponytailed brunette just said, Charlotte blinked a bit in disbelief before letting out a scoff of a laugh and saying "I'm sorry. But, what did you just say?"

"Y-You heard me," Bayley stammered a bit before continuing. "I said No. I'm not giving you this belt back."

"Oh, come on, Bayley. Are you sure this is what you want to do? Think of your fans and everyone that looks up to you. Do you really want them to see their hero as someone that cheated to win a championship?" Charlotte pressed, in spite of the fans cheering for Bayley.

"If the fans want to see me as a cheater, then...then I'll take that. And I'll work to prove to the fans that I'm no cheater. To prove that I don't need help with winning anything. ...And to prove that I can be one of the best Women's Champions RAW or any part of the WWE has ever seen," Bayley said, stepping a bit closer to Charlotte. "And, that? That's a promise I'm going to keep, starting with our match at FastLane Sunday. Until then, see you later." With that, Bayley dropped her mic and exited the ring to the cheers of fans with some having taken to doing a "YES!" chant. Making her way back up the ramp, Bayley made it up to the TitanTron and the screens before turning and raising her championship belt with a smile on her face as she kept her eyes locked with a slightly fuming Charlotte. Even though she was going against what she originally intended to do, Bayley came out of that whole segment feeling better about herself. Because, now...now she could work from the ground up and prove to Charlotte and her fans that Bayley was no cheater. And that Bayley was the RAW Women's Champion that they deserved to have.

OK. Just to say this now...I know this probably won't be the ending most people were looking for, but I feel that it's still pretty fitting of Bayley (and it fits in with my ideas I had going for Part 2 of this). After all, it would make sense for someone to point out the times that Charlotte's gotten help in her title defenses, so...Who better than Bayley to do so (...well, Sasha probably would, but I digress...)? And, in the end, with Bayley keeping the belt, it at least gives her the chance to prove to people that may have problems with how she won the RAW Women's shiny in the first place that she can defend it without outside help from others, so...I see that as a win here (from a possible standpoint, at least). *coughs* Rambling ends here! I hope everyone that gave this a read enjoyed "Do I Really Deserve This?"...and I really do hope that Part 2 of this was worth the wait for everyone that I unintentionally kept waiting for this part. Don't forget to R&R please, and I'll see you in my next updates and/or ?-shot. *waves* Laters, and good reading! =)
