*I am not affiliated with World Wrestling Entertainment. While real WWE ring names are used in this series, a different name is used for the fed because a different roster exists in it. I also did not know there was an independent federation called BCW when I began this series, so I am obviously unaffiliated with them as well. This story, and series is fiction. BCW takes place in an alternate universe. It is completely separate from anything that's happened in WWE, and did not actually happen.*

Back again. A.J. Lee was once again the BCW Women's Champion, beating Bayley at WrestleMania. She had won the first ever Women's Royal Rumble, and regained the Title it took her a year and a half to win back.
**
When A.J. arrived at the arena for RAW that week, she entered the Women's locker room, and while no one else was in the room, she saw a few of her peers were already in the arena and had dropped off their bags. She walked out of the locker room expecting to meet some of her roster-mates at catering. She stepped out of the locker room and realized she left her phone in her bag and went back in to get it.
When she opened the door again, she heard the shower was on. It was strange- she remembered just a few seconds ago she didn't hear anything, no footsteps in the bathroom attached to the locker room, nothing. She thought she heard a strange noise along with the water running.
In the moment, she didn't know what drew her to check the bathroom. It was so odd that the water was turned on when she didn't hear anyone, that it was as if the shower had turned on by itself. She inched closer to the row of shower stalls, and she wasn't going insane- there actually was a person in there.
She could make out a blonde figure through the curtain, but it wasn't Summer Rae or Charlotte, this woman was at least a half foot shorter than both of them, and she was paler then Trish Stratus. This woman's butt was also one she didn't recognize.. This woman's butt.. A.J. snapped her eyes back- Why was she even peeking through the space in the curtain?
A.J. hoped she wasn't looking too long. She swore it was only a half a second, she was just investigating, just making sure she wasn't imagining things. She wasn't- If it was just a quarter of a second, an eighth of a second, and if she didn't find herself looking at the girls' ass for about a quarter of that half a second, A.J. would have seen the girl's head start to turn before that one whole second was up.
"o."
"O."
...Those barely audible sounds where all the women let out when their brains registered their respective positions- this stranger wondering if someone was watching her shower, and A.J., hoping the woman didn't think she was peeping in on her. While A.J. did escape the door to the showers, she now couldn't leave the locker room. She needed to wait for this girl to come out of the shower and convince her she wasn't a creep.
She heard the girl shut the water off and move about the shower room. She wondered why she didn't hear anyone when she came in. A.J. sat by her bag and looked at her phone in the anxious minutes she spent waiting to have a proper first encounter with this new woman. If this was a new member of the BCW Women's roster, she wished she didn't greet a new member of the roster she was on top of in that way, and she hoped to smooth over this embarrassing situation.
"Hey-" She stood up.
"So does being Women's Champion mean you can watch other women wrestlers shower?!" The new woman said with a stern look on her face...
...A.J. froze and opened her mouth before-
"I'm kidding." She broke her cold stare and smiled. "It's okay. In this environment, I'm sure you've seen all the other women, y'know. Like that." She said. A.J. liked this girl's style of humor, and was relieved, but there was still an awkward tension in the room, as her and A.J. would never forget that that was their first interaction.
A.J. took a few seconds to say any response that wasn't an eerie 'you have no idea.'...
"Hi. I'm A.J.. I hope you didn't think.." She began. "I thought no one was here, then I heard the water turn on and I thought things were going off by themselves and heard another weird noise." Nervous, A.J. was talking very fast trying to find the right words, but she assured A.J. she didn't think she was actually trying to get a show, and tried to make light of the situation. "Again, sorry for the intrusion."
"Sorry if I startled you." She said when A.J. said nothing. "I'm gonna be a new member of the roster and I was getting some early training here earlier and I needed a shower, and thought since this is the women's locker room... I didn't think you were spying on me. We've never met, but I don't believe you're that much of a creep.."
"No, no... I just, yeah. That's twice this year a rookie has taken me by surprise." A.J. was of course alluding to Asuka, the import from Japan who A.J. had to outlast to win the first Women's Royal Rumble. While this new girl joked about this incident, A.J. couldn't help but still feel awkward and a bit ashamed.
"Oh, I thought uh, I thought you all might have known I was coming soon." The mystery girl replied with some confusion.
A.J. shook her head trying to work out whatever miscommunication may have occurred. "Yeah, uh, this is the first I'm hearing of you uh..."
"Oh.. I'm sorry. I'm Alexa. Alexa Bliss. It's great to finally meet you and to be here. I'm really excited to be on the roster." The newcomer introduced herself.
"Welcome, Alexa. Yeah, I guess you'll meet everyone else tonight soon, and let me know if you need anything." A.J. said.
"Thanks. I have to go meet with a few other people to make my new deal here official, but it was great to meet you." Alexa said and walked out of the locker room.
A.J. thought this new rookie was cute. She obviously had a personality, or she wouldn't have joked about A.J.'s accidental split-second view of her. On top of that, getting to see the other side of Alexa was pretty great too. She had a pretty face with beautiful blue eyes. Of course, A.J. was going to prevent herself from saying anything to Alexa about her appearance, given how much of her A.J. had just seen, for the first time meeting her. She sat by the locker room for a couple seconds before Paige, Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Emma, and Kaitlyn entered.
A.J. read the expressions on all five of their faces and could sense something was different about them. At the same time, Paige and Kaitlyn noticed an odd expression on A.J.'s face when they came in the locker room.
"Hey." A.J. said to her peers, looking up very quickly.
"What's up?" Kaitlyn asked. "You look, like, we scared you." She detected an odd look on A.J.'s face, but A.J. detected something about the looks on other five's faces.
"Huh." A.J. replied. "I was about to say to you, all five of you look, like, spooked."
"What?" Paige said, not sure what she meant.
