Shayna groaned as Reginald, in a busy patterned suit and a shirt with a photo of Nia on it, walked towards where Nia and her were hanging out in the Yuengling Center. She threw her hands up in the air and gestured one of them towards Reginald. "Why is he back? We fired him at WrestleMania. We both said we didn't need him anymore, remember?"
"Hold on, Shayna. I wanted you both here to hear what I had to say."
Shayna groaned again.
"Hello, Reginald."
"Hello, Nia. Shayna."
"As you know, we fired you after WrestleMania because we thought we could handle the tag team division on our own. Then it rained before night one of WrestleMania."
"I know. I was in a poncho while the show was happening."
"I'm sure you saw us make fun of Mandy Rose slipping on the entrance ramp on Raw. And you know she and Dana Brooke are making fun of me and causing me to lose my focus."
"I keep telling you to ignore them," Shayna said. "What are they gonna do to us in a ring? Nothing. They're all talk."
"And I'm still dealing with Tamina on Twitter. I need someone to distract the other girls so I can focus, Shayna. That's why I want to hire Reginald back. But only if you want him back. I know you're not fond of him."
"I'm still not fond of him."
"I'm not surprised," Reginald said.
"I think we should discuss this in private, Nia.”
Nia nodded. "We should discuss this is private. It shouldn't take long, Reginald."
Nia and Shayna stepped into an empty room in the Yuengling Center.
"I know you didn't like our situationship before we fired Reginald, but I miss him. But I don't want to break up what we have, and especially right now."
Shayna groaned again.
"Shayna, I feel we need a helping hand. I know Reggie hasn't been that effective as of late, but maybe he can redeem himself."
"Reggie? We're calling him 'Reggie' again?"
"Uh, I guess we are."
Shayna stared at Nia.
"Admit it, you don't mind having him around. If you really hated him you'd have broken his arms by now."
Shayna continued staring at Nia before saying "Okay, I do miss having him around. And I don't consider her a distraction but I'm having my own issues with Natalya. I'm thinking I need backup. If having Reginald around gets your focus back, we'll hire him back. As long as you don't put me on the back burner."
Nia kissed Shayna on her forehead. "I won't."
Shayna looked around the room. "Did anyone see that?"
"I hope not."
The two stepped out of the room.
Reginald adjusted his jacket. "So, have you decided to rehire me?"
"You're rehired," Nia said.
"Nia has a singles match against Tamina tonight. Follow my lead and stay out of my way otherwise."
"Thank you, Nia. Thank you, Shayna. I'll try my best to help you keep your focus."
Nia walked back in the room she came out of earlier. Reginald started to follow her, but Nia stopped him. "Actually, I want some time with Shayna alone before it's time for us to go to the ring."
Shayna shrugged with a slight smile on her face to Reginald as she followed Nia into the room.
