{~I'm very serious with you guys interacting with my writing!!!! it would make me so happy & excited, the more comments & reposts the more inspiration i have to write :) Votes and comments are strongly appreciated so please COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT COMMEENNTTT the more comments the more content <3!!!~}

It had been at-least 2 months since the wedding of Cody & Milena, it was now finally summer slam season, it was July & the couple just arrived to Miami, the only issue was Cody had torn his pec while working out the other day & he was just about to go into a match with Seth in less than 30 minutes.

Milena had just left her dressing room in a referee crop top & shorts since she was reffing for his match and made her way to find Cody to check up on him, but she couldn’t find him anywhere so she went up to Jey “Hey JJ have you seen Cody anywhere?” He tossed his water bottle in his bag “Yeah I’m pretty sure he’s in the back of the locker-rooms with Montez talking about the pec issue.” She nodded thanking him and made his way to the locker rooms expecting to see Montez but instead saw Bianca with him & felt her heart drop. She squinted her eyes and poked her tongue against her cheek before crossing her arms leaning against the doorway while listening to Bianca talk “I’m just so..happy for you cody, truly, but um..if you have any issues with her I’ll have open arms.” And open legs, Cody nodded & thanked her awkwardly while she ran her hand down his arm smiling.

Milena scoffed enough to have the two of them look over at her, Cody immediately knew she had the wrong idea especially if she just saw this happen, Milena nodded her head looking at Cody “Your so fucking insufferable cody, truly. You’re up in 5 minutes.” Cody watched her walk off and clear his throat before glaring over at Bianca “I don’t know what game your trying to play but I swear to fucking god on everything I own if you ruin my goddamn marriage Bi, I will end your career & future careers for as long as you live, and you DEFINITELY shouldn’t trust Mills when she’s as calm as that, she’s going to beat your ass. In the ring and out of it.” He spat his harsh words at her leaving her in shock, Seth just finished his entrance & was In the ring while Milena circled it holding up the championship belt while Cody was making his entrance.

Seth stared down Mills as she stood on one of the ropes flashing the belt towards the crowd with a grin on her face while Seth started talking “Had anyone ever told you that your wife looks fucking amazing today? Maybe after I kick your sorry ass and send you back to Georgia I’ll maybe..give Milena a visit..” he grinned over at Cody while he entered the ring clenching his jaw while She had just let out a laugh at the remark. Before blowing her whistle to start off the match.

Cody was insanely pissed off, He immediately beat Seth to the ground, threw some VERY real punches & stomped into his chest & even got to the point where he left claw like scratches on his face so the announcers had Milena call off the match & Drag cody backstage, The minute that door shut their biggest argument started “What the FUCK was that?!” She shouted while Cody scoffed unwrapping his hands from any bandages & glared “You heard what the hell he said about yo-“ she stopped him with a laugh of mockery “Your fucking kidding me right? Just a few months ago you CRAWLED up my ass for beating the shit out of Bianca for what she said to you and that goddamn shoulder touch and FUCK ME EYES! But when YOU do it suddenly it’s okay?! Your fucking ridiculous.” Cody pointed his finger in her face with a condescending tone“Watch your fucking tone.” She smacked him across the face “Don’t you EVER talk to me like that ever again. It truly amazes me how you’re okay with Bianca making inappropriate suggestions despite our fresh fucking marriage but the minute Seth does it you go fucking insane.” She spat at him.

“And the minute I get my fucking hands on her she’s fucking done and you know it, especially after that little connection with her earlier.” She glared while Cody wiped blood off his lip scoffing “Don’t you da-“ before he could even finish Milena stormed out of the dressing room and everyone in the locker room heard the entire argument and ran after Mills to stop her including, Roman, Seth, Montez & Jey but she was to fast, she found Bianca & Immediately the other girls such as Becky, Liv & Rhea tried stopping her but she was yet again to quick, “Jey go get cody & tell him to grab Milena before she ends up in a damn cell tonight.” Jey ran off to get Cody “Your chick is about to beat Biancas ass you better go on and get’er” Cody furrowed his brows and started running to where everyone was & saw Milena & Bianca slamming into lockers & pulling onto each-others hair but Milena grabbed Bianca by the back of her head and slammed her head into a wall yelling at her. Cody & Roman pushed their way through the crowd trying to stop the girls & both of them grabbed Mills while roman kept shouting at Bianca to either ‘shut the fuck up’ or ‘Go somewhere before I let her go.’ Milena fought against Cody still yelling at Bianca calling her a Cunt & other harsh names before He dragged her away from the scene “You need to take a goddamn breath Milena.” Her chest heaved up and down while Cody held her arms trying to get her to calm down but she was still furious “Your sleeping with Bianca aren’t you? Why the FUCK do you both have some sort of chemistry and connection since I’ve came to WWE?”

Cody groaned and ran his hands down his face “I’m not fucking sleeping with Bianca Milena!” She scoffed “Bullshit! You two have something going on, Your on the same fucking cover for that dumbass game and have shared moments together behind the scenes of a goddamn photo shoot, let me find out your lying to me Cody and I swear to god I will make this marriage a living hell for you.”

She stormed off leaving Cody by himself, for hours they gave each other the silent treatment during the entire summer slam event, Jey & Seth walked into the dressing room while Jey handed Milena coffee he cleared his throat “So how are you handling the news??” She quirked up an eyebrow “What news?” Seth looked over at Jey & Her confused “I thought Cody told you Bianca & Him used to sleep with each-other before you joined WWE?” Milena immediately had a facial expression that showed the pair she had no idea they had any sort of connection to her. “Are you a fucking dumbass Seth?” Jey turned to him automatically stressed out “Why do you always run your mouth jesus fucking christ.” Seth awkwardly laughed while Milena stood up “Where the fuck is he?” Jey blocked the door and held his hands “Milena n-“ She got closer to him and started putting her hair up “Tell me where he is now before I tear this entire room apart and find him myself.” Seth shoved jey out of the way “empty confrence roo-“ before he could even finish she left and went to the exact room Cody was in & just stood there, They both stared at each other “When were you going to tell me Cody?” Her voice croaked but she still held herself together while he exhaled standing up walking over to her “Were you even going to tell me and just make me sit here looking like a fucking dumbass??”

Cody frowned and tried holding her hands but she pushed him away “Answer me! It’s the least you could fucking do! Is this why you kept giving her the benefit of the doubt! Are you STILL fucking her?” He held out his hands “Sweetheart I was going to tell you until everything died down, I didn’t intend for any of this to get as far as it did I’m not sleeping with her in-fact I stopped the moment I found out you were back.” She shook her head “I can’t trust you Cody, not as a husband or a person I do not fucking trust you. I won’t divorce you but I need you to start being honest with me for as long as we’re married if you want my trust.” He nodded and pressed his hand against her cheek “I’ll go as far as getting her out of the goddamn company if I have to for you.”

She nodded in silence “Let me handle that alright?” He nodded and pulled her into his arms, Cody knew if she was this calm she was plotting & scheming, summer slam wasn’t going to end until atleast 12AM, Just as Roman finished his promo Milena went out into the ring with a microphone, Cody & Jey watched backstage “How the fuck is she so calm right now?” Jey asked with minor concern while Cody leaned into his seat “She’s about to reveal the shit she’s been plotting and scheming since her fight with Bianca.”

She cleared her throat and spoke into the microphone “Some of yo- ALL of you know of the rivalry between me & Bianca & I have decided, That next week I will be challenging Bianca into join me in a Hell In a Cell match, 1 on 1, No limits & No disqualifications.” Roman sat in the room with Jey & Cody and sighed “She’s going to kill Bianca.” Milena stood there before speaking again “This will be my last warning to Bianca, I know your listening to this & I’m going to say this VERY clearly, I suggest you back off of my husband Cody or I will make your life a living hell in & out of the ring, If I need to fuck him right in front of you to get that through your thick skull because your pony tail is to tight it explodes your braincells then I absolutely will.” She stared directly into the camera while the crowd started freaking out, She walked backstage & looked overt at Cody, Jey & Roman.

“I know one of you have her husband’s personal phone number, and one of you are going to give it to me & let me handle things My way. Since she wrecks my marriage then it’s only fair I wreck hers.” They all looked at each-other and Cody muttered under his breath a quiet “Shit.” while roman started pulling out his phone. This was not going to go well for Bianca in the slightest.

01. The Crown

Pairing: Josh Fatu / Jey Uso x Ezmeralda Bey / Aries

Synopsis: Devoted to her craft and her family, WWE Superstar Ezmeralda has a library of accolades accomplished on her own and by the side of her family like never before. As she leads the Women's Revolution to glory, romance seems to find her at the most unexpected moment... in the ring.

Warning(s): SFW, OC is a black woman, swearing, WWE-canon violence, Non-scripted fights, body shaming, body insecurities, WWE's consistant misogyny is blatant until later chapters, etc.

Cross-posted: Wattpad

"Howdy, howdy, the name's Ezmeralda Bey a.k.a Aries. I am 1/3 of the tag team, the Three Sins with my twin older brothers – Ezra and Ezekiel, also known as Hubris and Nemesis. My career, unlike the other women of the roster, consists of me breaking down and conflicting havoc amongst both the men and women divisions."

"I've won the Intercontinental title, the tag team titles, the U.S title, the Divas, and even the WWE Championship title. To some, they don't like it because it's either I'm trying too hard to replace Chyna – who was one of my trainers by the way – or it's supposedly impossible for me as a 5'2, nearly 210-pound woman to take down a man. I find it hilarious because well, that's all I did growing up was fighting. Regardless your size, your age, your gender – you piss me off, I'm coming for you. As a matter of fact, all my siblings are like this." 

A split screen appears. On the left was a montage of all the Divas from the past and the present while on the right was a montage of Ezmeralda and her appearance both on and off camera. It made note that the woman fancied a darker, tomboy image rather than dresses and heels.

Her cloud of dark brown curls was always either pulled into a puff, braided, or let loose and constantly switched between matching the theme of her outfit and staying natural. Her makeup appearance was dark consisting of black lip liner and clear gloss combo paired with a smoky eye and exaggerated eyeliner.

When it came to her physical appearance, she was thicker than others as her little pudge happily poked out and thrived. Despite the obvious thickness of skin that surrounded her, she carried a balanced amount of muscle that took the spotlight whenever she flexed or had to toss someone on their head.

Although, she wasn't the most model-esque woman on the roster, she was a living example of destruction and beauty intertwined. And she'd be damned and if someone would try to make her feel insecure.

"I am a member of one of the royal WWE families known as the Woods-Bey family. Our family of wrestlers consists of so many blood relatives and even those who aren't blood, but they were trained by my family and adopted some of our moves. My mother, who hails from this family, is known as Titan and the former frenemy of Chyna whereas my father is known as Lycon." 

"I'm not gonna lie, because of my abilities as well as being in a faction with my brothers, I do get a lot more screen time than the regular Divas. I never had to kiss ass for it to happen or anything, but it's just my family legacy. That's my story, you know? My brothers and I are one of the top faces of the company."

Just days until Wrestlemania and no matter where Ezmeralda was to go, chaos seems to follow as Superstars and Divas race from one location to another while roadies unload equipment for testing and designers correct any mistakes before things get out of order. 

For someone new to the scene, they'd feel lost and overwhelmed, but for the Bey triplets, this was a part of their childhood. Their stomping grounds. 

Meeting with their friends in the hotel's gym, the triplets set out to search for them. As they enter, Jon and Josh instantly meet their eyes and wave them inside. As they step closer to the Fatu twins, a wild pairing of Trinity and Ariane come around the corner. Paying the girls no mind, Ezmeralda takes her turn at greeting the boys. Her and Josh nestled in each other's arms. 

"I'm not the most social person in the world, I'm really big on protecting my peace whereas my brothers do all the talking and so forth. However, if I could count how many of my co-workers are my personal friends, it'd take just about four fingers – and that's not including my brothers."

"The Fatu twins and I go back to their FCW days where my brothers and I were their mentors. Jon is like the extra brother, I didn't need, whereas Josh is a bit complicated."

"How you doin' mama?" Josh asks as the two take a set of treadmills right beside each other. 

Ezmeralda shrugs, "not too bad. I'm a bit nervous for Wrestlemania, the boys and I have been going over our intro and outfits for days now." 

He raises his eyebrows with interest, "ooh, do tell me more." She giggles, shaking her head, "no, sir. It's a surprise, I can't be blowing the surprise out the water and all." 

"Since we headin' your family's way for it, you thinking about inviting them?" 

She clicks her tongue in thought, "I mean, I personally don't try and force them to come unless it's something really pivotal in like the storyline or a title match, but you know them – they hard headed as hell, can't tell them fools nothin'."

He kisses his teeth, gently smacking her on the arm. "Girl, you gone stop talkin' about my mama." 

She pauses, eyes widen in disbelief, "about your who now? Cause I ain't mention not a word about Mama T." 

He side eyes her, "you heard what I said. Mama Kala ain't hard headed nor is she a fool."

"She my mama, not yours." He scoffs, "man, not yet. Just you wait cause when I snatch you up and put a ring on it, she gone be my mama, too. Which makes me her spy." 

Ezmeralda stops the treadmill mid-walk, allowing herself to comically slide backwards. "Her spy!? Ah, gotta blast." 

She jumps off, running around the gym. Josh laughs, chasing her through the gym while Jon and her brothers watch with knowing smiles. 

"Since Josh and I became friends, him and his bad ass older brother have always called my parents Mama Kala and Papa E whereas my brothers and I have called their parents, Mama T and Papa Sol. However, for the past year or two when this tension between Josh and I developed, he's been adding on things like how he's gonna marry me this or I'm his lady and he's my man that or whatever." 

She tries to shrug off the obvious effect his affections had on her.

"I wouldn't mind allowing Mr. Fatu to take me on a lil' date and impress me; however, at the same time, I don't want that interfering with work. Like, I can and will be going head-to-head with him and his brother. Our characters have this rivalry going on where really, it's just this unforeseen chemistry we all have with each other. Besides, I'm not good at being vulnerable and letting myself be open – I've always been that way. Why you think I'm 31 and single?"

WrestleMania

"Y'all it's Wrestlemania and it's the Deadliest of 'em all, the Three Sins versus The Shield, let's go baby!" She screams, clapping her hands.

The triplets dress in green and black colored outfits. Ezekiel and Ezra wear their pair of wrestling pants designed with asymmetrical patterns and evergreen colored wrestling shoes. 

Ezmeralda wears a dual-colored glitter bralette with straps wrapping around her torso and a pair of matching two-toned shorts with fishnets and matching kneepads with evergreen custom sneakers. They walk for the Guerilla, prepared for their match against The Shield.

They stay behind the curtain as the first notes of 'Animal I've Become' by Three Days Grace plays as the pre-chorus hits, they walk out as their green pyro goes off as the crowd roars with excitement, self-made posters sailing through the stadium of over 70,000 fans. This was their moment and Ezmeralda's step closer to a Woman's Revolution, creating history like no other. 

The six-man tag match starts off with Ezmeralda and her friend and former protege, Joseph, as the two powerhouses go back and forth, tossing each other around. Minutes pass with a series of tags, pin breakups, and kickouts as all six bodies lay draped from the ring to the apron. 

The crowd went as far as doing a 'This is Awesome' chant as Ezmeralda and Joe kept exchanging spears and Samoan drops. After a while, it was time for the match to end as Jonathan pins Ezekiel while Ezmeralda and Ezra lay wasted ring-side.

"It's Wrestlemania, baby!" Ezmeralda cheers in the palms of her hands.

Hi babes!!! I have another Sasha request for you. You have free reign to go crazy.

Yes ofc

Hell in a cell win

Pairing: Sasha Banks x Fem reader

Description: Your girlfriend celebrates with you after you win your hell in a cell match

The adrenaline courses through you as you move away from being thrown into the cell wall by Sonya DeVille. You were against sonya in hell in a cell after her causing endless problems for you especially backstage and during half of your matches, you had a lot to prove since you were still a rookie only having been in WWE for two years being trained under Beth Phoenix until three months ago taking the first step of your career but you were still close with beth and her husband Edge who were pretty much parents to you ever since you arrived to the roster, you made fast friends with many wrestlers on the roster but boy it was instant chemistry when you met Sasha slowly working up the nerve to ask her out with help from Bayley and Becky Lynch until the two of you were going out every other night in between matches and training sharing the news after a month. You yell as you throw sonya out of the ring into the wall before landing hits on her, you lean against the ropes stomping your foot on the ground as sonya slowly gets up pulling off a superman punch that quickly knocks her down bursting into tears and sobbing as you hold your title while the cell is lifted smiling when you hear sasha's theme play as you climb out of the ring laughing when she lifts you in her arms hugging each other tightly as the reality sinks in that you won, not only did you win your first hell in a cell but that you won against a veteran especially someone with a career as sonya's "I'm so damn proud of you" you smile as she holds your face in her hands wiping your face with her thumbs. The two of you leave and celebrate with her and your shared friends with drinks and dinner, you giggle when sasha pulls you in her arms as the two of you stand in the kitchen after coming home and changing still full of energy thankful that you both would have off as the two of you watch tv sharing yogurt until you fell asleep in her arms on the couch making her smile as she kisses your forehead.

Summer Break Pt.4- Get Away

Summary: The start of some bullshit

Warnings: Smoking, profanity, drug usage

————

Day 4, 1986

“who the fuck-” Y/n groaned to herself as she sat up from her bed.

Walking towards the noise bursting through the house, Y/n saw the boys layed out throughout parts to the house. Izzy and Axl on the couch, Steven on the floor, Slash no where to be seen & Duff and Mandy were probably in their room.

“Of course i have to get up” The girl said as she heard the harsh knockings getting harsher, hearing a mumbled voice calling out.

“What” Y/n said as she flung open the door, Y/n was the crankiest person alive when she was forced to wake up, so this better be fast.

“You. You fucken bitch” A random girl said pointing at Y/n.

“Who the fuck are you” Y/n said furrowing her eyebrows angrily.

“Wouldn’t you like to know” The brunette said getting up in Y/n’s face.

“Yes i would like to fucken know” Y/n said in a annoyed tone.

“Listen here bitc-” The girl said pointing at Y/n

“No you listen, who the fuck are you and what the fuck are you doing here” Y/n said, trying to stop herself from throwing a punch.

“Don’t talk to me like that you fucken whore” The door girl said, charging towards Y/n

“what the-” Y/n said, quickly reacting and throwing a punch right at the girls nose.

The unknown girl grabbed Y/n by the hair, pulling it.

What a fucken mistake.

Two things Y/n hates:

1. People waking her up

2. People pulling her hair.

Feeling a sense of rage flow through her body, Y/n started hitting the girl with as much force her body can muster.

“You fucken bitch” Y/n said, raising her voice as she threw the brunette on the floor, her body looming over hers as she threw more punches.

“HEY WHAT THE FUCK!” Duff said, pacing towards the two girls fighting.

“what the fuck” Axl grunted out as he rubbed his eyes, watching the wwe scene unfold in front of his eyes.

“Fuck” Axl said, eyes widening when he realized who the girl fighting Y/n was.

Duff grabbed Y/n by her armpits and yanked her off of the girl, eyes rolling when he also realized who it was.

“What the fuck Erin?”

The girl, now named Erin looked towards Axl

“What do you mean Axl?” She yelled, still on the floor

“We break up and you fuck another bitch? really? and on top of that you hide her at fucken Duffs house!” She exclaimed, getting up.

“I’m not fucking him dumbass.” Y/n rolled her eyes, still being held by Duff

“I wasn’t talking to you!” Erin said, stomping her foot on the ground.

“I don’t care who you were talking to, i’m just letting you know i’m not fucking your boyfriend” Y/n said, rolling her eyes

Erin tried going towards the girl, only for Mandy to grab her arm.

“Why are you coming at me? Do you want a round two or what?” Y/n asked, trying to get out of Duffs grip.

“You didn’t even get me!” Erin yelled.

“Yea? So what’s up with the knox’s on your head?” Y/n laughed at the girl.

With that, everyone looked at Erin’s forehead, making a face when they saw the two bumps on the girls face.

“She got you good” Izzy said, now awake and quite amused at this situation.

“Let’s go Erin” Axl said getting up and grabbing the girl by the arm, slamming the door shut once they both walked out.

“Dude what the fuck” Y/n said, yanking herself out of Duffs grip, shaking her right hand.

“Y/n you shouldn’t be fighting people” Duff said rubbing his hands on his face

“What? she came at me” Y/n said furrowing her eyebrows.

“Look” Duff sighed “Just keep your composure next time”

“And what let her beat my ass?” Y/n said, now crossing her arms.

“Just calm down alright?” Duff said

Y/n rolled her eyes, “Whatever”

“What happened?” Slash said, rubbing his eyes

“Axls girlfriend just fought Y/n” Izzy said, turning his head to look at Slash.

“Yea and now Duffs getting mad at me” Y/n said crossing her arms looking up at her older brother.

“I’m not mad at you Y/n” Duff said, eyes softening at his sister, wondering what the hell she had to go through to be such a good fighter.

“You’re telling me i missed Y/n’s fight?” Slash said, voiced laced with disappointment.

“Yes” Izzy responded to the curly headed boy.

“Fucken lame” Slash said walking back into the bathroom, which is probably where he slept last night.

Y/n walked back into her room and looked up to the broken clock on the wall, reading the time 1:20pm.

“How the fuck is it already one” She mumbled to herself.

Looking at her bed, she saw her tape player pushed to the side of it, a smile graced her face, remembering she had made plans with John.

She picked up her duffel bag and looked for something to wear, changing into a pair of baggy jeans and a white, fitted tank. She also grabbed the tape with ‘Melvins Again’ written on it, and her lighter, and some money.

Feeling like she had too much shit to carry, she reached towards the very bottom of her bag and pulled out a smaller one shoulder bag (see here) and put everything in it.

Walking out of the room, she passed through the small living room, sighing when she heard Duff speak.

“Where are you going?” He asked with one hand on his hip, and she almost laughed with how much he resembled their dad, especially now.

“Just going out” She shrugged, giving him the same answer she would her parents.

“Just going out?” He said, raising his eyebrow. Y/n pursed her lips, “Yep. Right next door”

“And who’s next door?” Duff responded, crossing his arms.

“The person I met yesterday” She said, wanting him to just let her go.

“Hm” “And what’s this persons name?”

Now Y/n was the one crossing her arms, “Fru”

“Fru?”

“Yes”

“And is this Fru from the male species?”

“Awwwww Y/n has a boyfriend Y/n has a boyfriend” Steven sang, getting a death glare from both the McKagans.

Y/n rolled her eyes, “He’s not my boyfriend, I just met him”

“Aha! So Fru is a He” Duff said.

“Yea Duff, he is, is there a problem with that?”

“There is a problem actually, i don’t want you to go see him”

“What? He’s just a friend Duff” Y/n said, now getting upset.

“You can’t just have a male friend Y/n, this is LA” Izzy said, smoking a cigarette.

“Exactly” Duff said, nodding his head.

“God what the fuck” Y/n said, disappointment lacing her voice “It’s not like that, im just showing him some music from Seattle”

“Y/n, you haven’t even shown me the music from back home” Duff sighed, feeling a pang in his chest.

“I haven’t got the chance” Y/n shrugged “I’ll show you another day, but I already made plans with Fru so…” She said, walking towards the door.

“Whatever Y/n” Duff sighed

“Whatever Duff” The girl said as she left her brothers apartment.

“Dude harsh” Slash said, standing behind Duff.

“I feel like her coming here was a fucken mistake” Duff said running his hand over his hair.

“Relax Duff, it’s only been her fourth day here” Izzy said.

“Exactly, and i’m the one she’s least spent time with. I mean jesus she’s already going out with this Fru kid doing god knows what” Duff said, stressing out.

“You sound like a dad” Izzy said, blowing out smoke “Just trust her alright? She seems like a good kid”

“You say that right after she got into a fight”

Izzy laughed “You’re right, it wasn’t her fault though, put some trust in her Duff”

“Okay” Duff sighed “You’re right. Y/n’s a smart girl.”

“Man i can’t believe i missed the fight” Slash sighed sadly.

“It was a really good fight Slash, she could really throw a punch” Steven said

Slash shook his head “Don’t make me feel worse Stevie”

*

John jumped up from his couch when he heard his door knock, heart fluttering since he knew it was Y/n. Embarrassingly, he had been sitting on the couch since the moment he woke up, doing absolutely nothing while he waited for Y/n to come over.

“Hey” He smiled, out of breath.

“Hey Fru” Y/n said returning a smile, looking at the flushed boy standing in front of her. “You’re not gonna believe the fucken morning I had” She said rolling her eyes, entering his apartment.

“Should we smoke first” John laughed, looking at Y/n’s back.

“Absolutely” she turned around, smiling at him.

They both walked to Johns room, Y/n leading the way as if this was her place, and John smiling like an idiot behind her.

Y/n silently watched John as he pulled out his box and started to crush up the buds.

“Have you aten?” John asked, looking up at her.

“No, not yet. We should go get something to eat” She said, shuffling on the bean bag she was sitting on.

“Where do you wanna go?” John said, now rolling up a joint.

“Like if i know any place here” She lightly laughed, looking at him.

He laughed, “Right” “What do you feel like eating?”

“Not sure. Donut?” She furrowed her eyebrows, now craving something sweet.

John nodded his head, “Okay, I know a place we could go”

Y/n just smiled as she saw him light up the joint.

“Did you bring the tape?” John said passing it to Y/n

Taking a hit, she responded “Yea, where’s your tape player?”

“Right- hold on” he grunted as his arm reached under his bed “Right here” he smiled.

“Okay take thiss” Y/n said handing the j back to him, grabbing the tape player from his hands “And i take this”

“Am I gonna like this?” He asked as he watched Y/n put in the tape

“I saw you have some germ vinyls, so I think you’ll like it.” She said as she pressed play.

“And if you don’t-” She said, inhaling the smoke, “Don’t say anything. It’ll hurt my feelings” She smiled at him, watching his face concentrate on the music.

*

“I like them, honestly, they were really good” John said with his mouth full.

They had finished smoking and listening to the tape (which sadly only had four songs in it), and traveled to the place John said he knew (they had to take a bus), and were now sitting here talking and laughing like idiots.

“Did you really?” Y/n said looking at him, searching for a hint of dishonesty.

“I did, really, i was actually gonna ask you if i could keep the tape.” He said, looking slyly at her.

“Of course you can! I have the real thing back home” She said, thinking about her friends back home.

“What’s that genre called anyways? it’s not metal right?” he asked her

“Nah it’s not metal” she said, chewing her donut “They call it grunge”

“Grunge?” he asked

Y/n took a sip out of her milk carton and just nodded her head.

“I still can’t get over the fact you payed” John suddenly said, rolling his eyes.

“We’ll get over it Fru, you let me smoke your weed, this is how I repay you.” She smiled at him

“Yea yea yea” “Hey you mentioned something about your morning” He said, suddenly remembering what she told him earlier in the day.

“Holy shit, I completelyyyy forgot to tell you what happened”

“So what happened?”

“Okay, so tell me why” Y/n started, rolling her eyes when she remembered everything that happened today in the morning.

She made sure to not leave a single detail out of the story as she told John, who had a shocked expression on his face the whole time.

“So she just came at you? Just like that?” He said

“Yes! and Duff had the audacity to tell me to control myself” she said, crossing her arms to her chest and laying back on the small booth she was sitting in.

“That’s some bullshit, you had to defend yourself” he said “I was wondering why were knuckles were purple, i thought i was just high if i’m being honest” he laughed, watching her laugh right with him.

“Dumbass” She said, rolling her eyes. “Also, I left my cigarettes at your place, do you have them?” she asked.

“I actually do me lady” he said, “Left them on my nightstand, we could just go back and get them”

“Cool, we could go back later though” She smiled at him.

*

Y/n and John spent their whole afternoon together, laughing and walking around the streets of LA, arms clutched together.

“I had a lot of fun today Fru” Y/n said as they stood on the staircase of his apartment complex.

“Yea, I did too” He smiled down at her, looking into her tired eyes.

“Sucks i have to go” She sighed, squinting as the setting sun got into her eyes.

“It’s okay, we could hang tomorrow? There’s actually a band I wanted to show you and their performing tomorrow night” He asked nervously.

Y/n smiled, “Fuck yea I wanna go”

“Okay cool, come over at 8pm” he smiled at her.

“Will do sir Fru, I’ll see you tomorrow alright?” she said, walking down the steps.

John laughed, “Okay then, see you later alligator”

“That’s never gonna work Fru!” Y/n called out as she walked towards the complex next door.

John just stood there with a smile on his face, watching Y/n disappear through the front door.

Y/n walked through the door of Duffs apartment, weirded out to see that no one was home.

“Where the fuck is everyone” she mumbled to herself, Mandy was usually home at this time, but even she wasn’t here.

The young girl just rolled her eyes and went to her shared room, being taken aback by what she saw laying on the floor.

Slash, passed out, with a needle in his arm.

“Shit Slash” she said as she rushed to the curly headed man, quickly but carefully taking out the needle in his arm.

She then lightly slapped his face a few times and repeatedly said “Slash wake up”. And he wasn’t waking up.

But this not being her first rodeo, with so much heroin use in Seattle, she knew exactly what to do.

She grabbed Slash by the legs, and dragged him to the bathroom, which was very difficult considering Y/n was not the most athletic person.

Y/n managed to get him in the small bathtub, and turned on the cold water. Grabbing the shower head, she sprayed some water in his face, making sure not to drown him though.

But he still wasn’t waking up. “Slash” she said, now raising her voice. The poor girl was now starting to get scared, putting her finger under his nose she made sure he was still even breathing.

Slapping him with a bit more force now, she continued to call out his name.

Spaying him with more water, she threw the shower head down. “Shit Slash wake up” She said, now using both arms to shake him.

After giving him one more hit, he slowly opened his eyes.

And Y/n let out the biggest sigh of relief.

As she turned the water off, Slash slowly came to the realization of what just occurred.

“Shit Y/n” He said, voice hoarse.

“Slash” She let out a laugh “Scared me there” she said sitting back down on her knees, looking at the soaked, curly headed man in front of her.

“Sorry” he said, letting out a cough.

“Don’t worry” she smiled “Lets just get you out of this fucken bathroom”

Y/n helped Slash get up, much to his dismay, but let him dry up and get dressed alone in their room.

The realization of what had happened hit Y/n while she sat alone, now feeling completely uneasy, was it really the same everywhere? Was she ever gonna get away from fucken heroin? She thought to herself

Slash came out with nothing but a pair of boxers and a shirt on, sitting on the couch, right next to Y/n, taking her out of her trance.

“Sorry about what happened” Slash quietly said, feeling sense of guilt course through his body.

“Don’t trip about it Slash” Y/n shrugged

“And don’t worry, I won’t tell Duff” She smiled.

Yass chapter four😍😍🤞🤞, could you guys believe Slash’s audacity😒 Oding infront of the hmg Y/n!!!

Anyways hope you guys enjoyed 😣. Im honestly not sure how i feel about this chapter

[toasterhasabucket]

so. imagine this: you are tyler black, a young wrestler on the independent circuit. there is another young wrestler working the indies, jon moxley, and you hear about him all the time but you've never actually wrestled him and you've only really met him once in the back of a truck.

the year is 2010, and you sign with Florida Championship Wrestling, FCW– the (at the time) developmental territory for famous company WWE. you change your name to seth rollins, and you're doing pretty good there, actually. then another guy signs, the guy you met that one time actually, except now his name is dean ambrose. and he's a little obsessed with you. you have this feud where you stare longingly at eachother and try to figure out what this guy wants with you, and continue to orbit eachother throughout your time in fcw-nxt

then, one day, in 2012, you get a call. they want you to come up to the big boy roster– but not just you. they take you, they take that guy leakee you know (roman reigns), and they take dean. they put you all on a team and give you black tactical gear and throw you into the metaphorical lions den together. you and these two other men who will become your brothers in arms, all against the world.

and that is how the shield debuts! described as "two indie schmucks and a football player", seth, dean, and roman go into that world together and soon enough an incredibly dominant force in the wwe universe, one that stands for justice and truth, which obviously makes them a lot of enemies. they may be hired by cm punk's manager to protect him, you know, if anyone can prove that (plead the fifth) but they go from little mercenaries for hire to their own unit, and start working for themselves, because they don't need anyone but them– and working together like they do, they get to the top of the food chain very quickly.

this much success and power might not be good for them, honestly, because dean starts acting out and being more and more impulsive, and him and roman start butting heads, with seth left to try to mediate until it frustrates him to the point of walking out on them during a match. but they're good, right? they talk through it, hit eachother a little bit, but all brothers fight sometimes. they still love eachother!

and then seth destroys everything.

he takes a chair to the backs of his brothers, beats them ruthlessly while the crowd screams "why" at him, as seth decides to join up with the authority, a heel stable led by triple h, the big boss of wwe, and his wife stephanie. he sells out his family and his integrity for the chance to be something bigger, promises triple h feeds into his ears of being a champion all by himself. how he was the one who created the shield, he was more than dean and roman if he would only let the authority help him get there.

roman takes his feelings of betrayal to the authority, to the money-hungry soulless people that run this company, dean, though. he takes everything straight to seth. he vows to haunt seth for the rest of their lives, to burn together, to make seth feel the amount of pain that he's put dean in. and he keeps losing, with seth getting away at the last second with help of the authority or running away from him, but dean just chases him. ruins every chance he has of cashing in his MITB contract, runs in on his matches, steals his belts and briefcase and even makes him the victim of harmless pranks just to make sure he can never rest. dean is written off as being crazy, part of his "lunatic" reputation, but everything he does is to mask the heartbreak he feels, for losing his brother, his best friend, losing the only safe space he's ever had with the shield. even during their summerslam he can't stop himself from kissing seths forehead and telling him he loved him before stomping his head into the ground. seth is having trouble choosing between being the authoritys good little lap dog and the regret and feelings he still has for his former best friend, not really taking any joy out of their matches together when he wins. even when their feud isn't quite as intense as it once was, they stay bitter exes, even if dean eventually loses some of the anger he held. and they go their seperate ways, seemingly putting eachother in their pasts.

in the meantime, though, seth realizes that the authority used him as a means to destroy the shield, and hunter discarded him the second he was no longer useful to him. he realizes that he let those empty promises get into his head and that he destroyed his family for it, to get nothing in the end. realizes that love shouldn't be conditional, he shouldn't only feel worthy when he's winning things for the authority. that he doesn't like who he became, and he tells hunter all of this to his face and defeats him during their match at wrestlemania 33, getting justice for the version of himself in 2014 that he lost forever. he reconciles with roman, and once dean makes his way back around to him, he's seemingly undergone his whole redemption arc and they live happily ever after!

just kidding, dean still doesn't trust him, and he sure as hell doesn't forgive him. ("I got burned by you once, not gonna happen again.") seth tries a lot of things, helping dean out with fighting miz, saying he's changed. dean tells him he's not interested in a shield reunion, that seths burnt all his bridges with him, but when seth finds himself in trouble with miz and the miztourage– dean comes out to save him.

theyre brought together by a mutual enemy in the miz, with seth trying to rekindle their bond and dean practically running in the opposite direction. seth ends up apologizing in front of an entire crowd, the first time he's ever apologized for The Incident, and even tells dean to hit him with a chair if it'll help him because he just wants them back together. dean throws the chair to the side, refusing to strike him, but he doesn't accept the apology either. but he cant help their natural wrestling chemistry coming out in full swing every time they're in the ring together, like they never missed a beat in all their years apart. he knows they work well together, but he doesn't reciprocate any emotional advances. he's terrified of being hurt again, as much as he clearly wants it. they're an incredible tag team, though, despite their relationship issues, with them eventually becoming tag team champions. they reunite with roman to fight the miz, and the shield makes their official return in 2018. and they lived happily ever after.*

*(well. roman has a hiatus for health reasons, they have dean turn heel and betray seth, and the writing is so bad that dean kind of leaves the company entirely. they give the shield one last ride to say goodbye to dean, though. and then that's that. but close enough.)

Evil. I thought you actually meant it ended well, what is this. Evil.

Love them, this is evil

Boys hug it out frowning face emoji ! !

You gave me an idea, I'll be back, you did this to me

Wrestlemania Main Event Reviews - Wrestlemania XXXI

Seth Rollins def. Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar (c) w/ Paul Heyman for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship after cashing in his Money in the Bank Contract mid-match (Originally Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar (c) w/ Paul Heyman for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship) in 16:45

Roman’s here through the crowd with his lovely blue contact lenses that he had to wear for some reason. Reigns is not too popular here tonight! Nasty Brock Lesnar is here now with Paul Heyman. I’ve not watched this match before, but it still feels familiar from just a few years ago! They’re straight to fighting here, Roman comes in with punches but a very fight-style bearhug from Brock takes out Roman, Brock hits a German suplex and F5, and Roman is down. Roman has made Brock bleed but Brock’s on top, with a big suplex. Brock tries another German suplex but Roman resists, Brock bodies a number of clotheslines, and then ducks one to hit another German suplex. Brock hits a side suplex as he mauls Roman, pacing around him as Roman tries to fight back, hitting another German suplex. Brock lays in blows to the midsection as Roman smiles at the match, but Brock hits another German suplex. Brock drops him with a suplex onto the ropes that hangs him up, and then he lays in the knee strikes. Brock launches him into the barricade and we see the Four Horsewomen of MMA briefly! Reigns gets to the apron and hits a knee strike on a charging Brock! He gets in all the offense he can but Brock catches a leg and hits a clothesline that sends Roman to the ground. Very cool! Brock hits a suplex in the ring and he has a cut lip. He drags Roman back up after he fell out of the ring, and hits an overhead suplex from the apron to the ring. He hits an F5, pins, but Roman kicks out! Brock slaps Roman and he’s begging for more! He loves it he does! Two German suplexes from Brock followed by an F5, but Roman kicks out! He chucks him outside but Roman reverses a Brock attempt and sends Brock into the ring post at ringside! He gets in the ring just in time and Brock is bleeding a lot! Roman lines up for the superman punch and hits it, he hits another, Brock tries to counter a third into a German suplex but Roman gets out with headbutts, hits the third punch, a spear, and then another, but Brock kicks out! He lines up for another superman punch but Brock catches him and hits an F5 on Roman, though he’s too tired to cover.

Then Seth Rollins comes out and cashes in his Money in the Bank Title Opportunity! He kicks Roman away, Blackout Stomp to Brock, goes for another but gets lifted for an F5, Roman hits a spear and Rollins is able to hit the Blackout on Roman to win! He runs up the ramp with the belt and celebrates! The Heist of the Century! 

Pros: Hard-hitting, intense, exciting, brutal, great finish, smart winner Cons: Roman’s a little OP with his offense and selling, could have gone a little longer with competitiveness between Roman and Brock

This is a good match! It’s odd seeing the inbetween phase of 3 minute match Brock and proper match Brock here! Not bad though! I think maybe Roman is booked a bit too strong, though the blood from the ring post bump helped a lot, but just the fact that his offense did so much and he could take so much was not my favourite, though still enjoyable! I also wouldn’t have minded more of them two going at it! Once things got competitive, it was fun! They both usually are! The action was wonderfully brutal and quick, which many matches could learn from, and the twist is sublime! Rollins cashing in was a great help after the Roman experiment went awry and the crowd hadn’t taken to him, but also getting the belt off Brock! In addition, it really helped establish Rollins and further his history with Roman! Such a great decision, even if it was a corner they backed themselves into to an extent!

Y'all really about to cause me to start writing WWE fanfic again. I haven’t touched WWE fics since my 2016-2018 Finn Bálor days, and now that Cody has regained my attention and pulled me back to WWE, I may have to circle back to my old stomping grounds. 😂

Then with all of the Jason Todd/Red Hood ficus I’ve read over the weekend, I’m bound determined to rehash my love for Jay once again, too.

Thank y’all for this. 😂⭐️

[shanie-the-toyaddict]

I haven't watched WWE in years where do I begin to catch up with the zowens thing it looks so gay I want it

Well it all started in Montreal in 2003... LMAO. Uhh, so, no, honestly? Your best bet is to find a yt documentary or some yt videos (or even a written article or two) on them in the independent scene first. Because, as @mithen will tell, their story truly began in 2003 in IWS and has been one continuous story since then. You can't truly appreciate what's been going on in the WWE since NXT without knowing at least a little bit about what came before.

As for WWE, you need to start with NXT. R-Evolution is a good place to start, although I do recommend digging into Sami's journey to the title, he really was the Heart and Soul of NXT. But for strictly "Zowens" (as it is with "Sami Zayn" and "Kevin Owens") yeah, R-Evolution is the starting point. Specifically, the last 10 minutes or so of the PPV.

From there, you need to go through their entire feud, which lasts for basically the remainder of both their times in NXT. Then, you transfer to the main roster in 2016 and OMG I cannot stress this enough, BATTLEGROUND. Battleground is to this day their greatest match in WWE ever, no you don't even understand, that match is still getting callbacks to this day. Once you get through 2016, the next big stop is Hell in a Cell 2017. There is stuff between there but if you want peak content, go for HIAC.

That's where the fun really picks up.

There's a leadup to 2017 but really, HIAC 2017 is the start of them just being... dang. Their feud with Shane McMahon is just amazing and, once you get to about December or so, Kevin starts to go a bit off the rails with his affection towards Sami and that's when you get the peak gay content you're probably looking for. However. They both got injured in 2018 and had to leave TV (With Sami getting injured first and Kevin just "Quitting" because he wasn't about to be there without Sami) but they briefly reunited in 2019 with Stomping Grounds being... a thing. No really, the post-match, er, CELEBRATION... happened... and I still say that's why they got broken up soon after. Anyway, they really didn't do ANYTHING again until the end of 2020 (Of Note: The Halloween 2020 episode of Talking Smack. Find it. Know it. Love it.) but at Elimination Chamber, we finally got another interaction which led into a very strange feud in 2021 that included a match at Wrestlemania. Not gonna try and explain why that feud was so strange but, if you get to that point chronologically, you'll understand. After 2021, there has only been a few sporadic moments. There was a non-televised moment before Wrestlemania this year at Madison Square Garden that was important. There was also the May 27th? Episode of Smackdown which is where their current program truly began. After that, the August 19th episode of Smackdown had a very important moment... after the camera's turned off. You'll have to go to YT for that one. And then, the August 29th episode of RAW. Cannot stress this enough. That's about as important a recent moment as we've gotten to what's going on right now. And finally, September 30th. They only share screen time for about 30 seconds but by god is it a gay 30 seconds. That about covers it as far as I can think of. There's other stuff in there too but those are the most important bits. At least as far as Kayfabe goes. If you're looking for behind-the-scenes stuff, however, this past Wrestlemania and the press tour surrounding it had some rather interesting moments and the guys interact on Twitter a bunch. But we'll just leave all that alone and focus on the in-character stuff because, honestly, that's plenty gay enough as it is. OH! And if you want non-canonical fan content, I highly recommend Moonsault on Ao3. My god, the stories there. Also, @wrestlezaynia is your source for most things Zowens that go on day to day and also has great fanworks. (Love you babe!) If you're looking for my work, I'm Shanieomaniac on Ao3. Pretty easy to find, honestly. Finally, let me offer you THIS as a quick teaser for the ship as a whole.

It's a music video I made to a Tim Minchin song. ("Grew On Me") The video is mostly "Steenerico" (Which is the precursor to Zowens - Kevin Steen/El Generico, which were their Indies personas) but can give you a bit of a teaser on the friendship side of their relationship. The idea comes from how, during an interview once, Kevin explained how he didn't like Sami at first. He didn't. But the more he spent time with Sami, the more he liked him because, as Kevin put it, "He grows on you, like a fungus." Beyond that, yeah. Important blogs are @wrestlezaynia, @mith-gifs-wrestling, @moonsault-fics, @thesamiandkevinshow, and my new friends, @mrwrestlingkevinsteen and @thegenericluchador. Also recommend Mithen on twitter because they are constantly posting content and also links to their essays about the subject. If you really want a fun place to start, go HERE. The essay talks about her search for the "Holy Grail" of Zowens/Steenerico and how it was Kevin himself who led her to it. Anyway, hope this helps and if anyone has anything else important to add, feel free to jump in. You wouldn't think it, but I'm relatively new to this ship, only having arrived in 2019. So, uh, have fun, and please, enjoy the Sami and Kevin Show.

Art of Sumo Wrestling

Pranav Rajashekar

Sumo wrestling has been a dominant sport in Japan for many centuries. Like many forms of matial arts, this type of wrestling id widely becoming known as a form of art instead of a violent entertainment activity. I chose to talk about sumo wrestling because of how differently it is portrayed in East Asian countries in comparison to the wrestling we know, such as the WWE, through Western media today.

Sumo wrestling was thought to have been created in the Yayoi period, which was around 300 BCE to 300 CE (Cartwright). An interesting start of this sport was that there was a strong Shinto background that influenced its use during this time periods, as fighters were summoned to fight spirits; The first sumo wrestler was named Nomi no Sukune, and he was believed to be the descendent of the Sun goddess (Cartwright). The sport was continued into the Nara period in Japan. This was important because the fights evolved into samurai fighting each other, where the fighting became almost ritualistic along with money being implemented as prizes to keep its prevalence in the country.

Even the modern version of sumo wrestling has ties to the Shinto religion even if it is not as practiced as it once was. For instance, before the matches begin, the fighters stomp on the ground (known as shiki); this is a direct reference to the goddess Amaterasu stomping the ground before fighting her brother god Susanoo (Cartwright, Green Shinto). In addition to this, salt is usually thrown around the ring as a way of purifying the area before fighting. The ring, or the dohyo, itself is a sacred place, and it is shaped as a circle within a larger square (Green Shinto).

There are numerous rules that the wrestlers must follow in order to perform and fight well. Normal punching with closed fists and kicking is not allowed but slapping and tripping are commonly observed during fights (USA Sumo). In addition, takedowns also come with rules, where pulling hair and grabbing the rear or groin areas are prohibited in a match (USA Sumo). Moreover, the only area that can really be grabbed in order to take an opponent down is limited to the belt around the waist (USA Sumo). When the arms of one wrestler is wrapped around another, neither is allowed to clasp their hands during a takedown. Slapping or thrusting the neck region is also allowed, but choking is not (USA Sumo). To win, the wrestler must submit the other wrestler by touching the ground or being thrown out of the dohyo (Green Shinto).

Many competitors were able to make a name for themselves at tournaments and in the industry. Hakuho Sho is regarded as the greatest sumo wrestler of all time. According to his statistics and awards, he accumulated 1,187 wins at the end of this 20-year career, which is the most out of any wrestler (Brennan). In addition to this, he was awarded the title yokozuna, which is the highest rank in the industry (Brennan). He achieved this rank only seven years into his career (RookieRoad). Another all-time great was named Konishiki Yasokichi, and he achieved the ranking ozeki, which is the second-highest rank a wrestler can get (RookieRoad). Of course, sumo wrestlers are known for gaining a lot of weight to become harder to combat in fights; however, Yasokichi weighed around 633 pounds at his peak, making him the heaviest sumo wrestler to ever compete (RookieRoad).

Sumo wrestling is respected sport in Japan and across Asia. Its representation derives not only from an entertainment perspective, but as a serious sport that takes dedication and time to master. In addition, there is a lot of history and religious influences that has shaped this sport as we know it today.

Wrestlemania Main Event Reviews - Wrestlemania XXXIX (Sunday)

Roman Reigns (c) w/ Solo Sikoa & Paul Heyman def. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in 34:29

First to the ring is Cody Rhodes as the crowd sings along! Lots of wide shots that make this feel like a really big deal. The sound of that “Woah!” though! Woah! Lots of pyro for Cody here, and commentary are fully letting the moment breathe. Cole only pipes up to let us know who Cody’s family are at ringside. Rhodes has an emotional moment holding his daughter in front of the crowd, then hands his weight belt to Brodie Huber. So sweet. I am actually mad at this finish all over again watching this but against my better judgement, I’m excited for Wrestlemania XL. Anyway, there's a bunch of pianists with their pianos on the stage and they start playing Reigns’ theme. As they finish, here comes the titantrons and then here comes The Tribal Chief with Heyman & Sikoa. I’m going to take a quick moment to acknowledge how beautiful this set is and how I hope XL’s set lives up to it. Loads of pyro for Reigns! I am already more invested in this than I was last year. Cole uses the exact same commentary tidbit of who reigned longer than Reigns with the exact same delivery. It's a good tidbit but that's hilarious. He lists everyone Reigns has beat as champion but leaves out Edge, Kevin Owens, Rey Mysterio, Bray Wyatt, and Xavier Woods. Still a pretty long list though admittedly. This crowd is hyped for Cody! Roman steps into the middle before we can begin to tell Wrestlemania to acknowledge him. 

Lock up and Rhodes has the upper hand until there's a rope break. Lock up again, Rhodes headlock and reverses a power-out attempt into a grounded headlock. Reigns rises back up, sends Rhodes off the ropes, but baseball slide and a slap to Reigns. He makes his way to the outside and speaks with Heyman. He tells him to smash Cody and he returns to the ring. Reigns gets a waistlock, standing switch by Rhodes but Reigns hits two elbows in return. Strikes in the corner but Rhodes dodges a running Reigns then hits a dropkick. He attempts a pin then targets the arm. Springboard by Rhodes but Reigns catches him with a powerbomb. No 3 but Reigns is in control now. Snap suplex by Reigns but it barely gets a 1. Another from Reigns and he waves at the Rhodes family. Throwing Rhodes to the outside but he skins the cat. Rhodes gets back in behind Reigns and throws him out. He goes for a running kick from the apron but Reigns catches it and drops him face first. He throws Rhodes to the ramp and hits a bodyslam on it. Rhodes reverses another and hits his own on the ramp! Fighting on the outside now, Reigns tries to send Rhodes’ face into the apron but he reverses it and does it himself. Some striking and Reigns is sent inside. Sikoa grabs a steel chair and hits Rhodes in the side as the referee is distracted. Reigns now hits a Drive-By Dropkick but only gets 2. Rhodes fights back against Reigns and comes off the ropes, but Sikoa grabs the legs and Reigns then hits a big lariat. Rhodes again kicks out though. Irish whip to Rhodes into the corner, then again he is thrown to the outside. Reigns clears the announce table very slowly. He sets Rhodes up on one before breaking the count. He stands atop one, throws up the one, then attempts a piledriver it seems. Rhodes is able to reverse with a back body drop through the other table though! Back in the ring, Reigns hits a forearm but Rhodes follows Reigns’ run-up to hit his own. He hits that dropdown punch, reverses a charge in the corner, and hits a scoop slam. The crowd goes wild before a Cody Cutter gets a 2-count. Stomps from Rhodes and Reigns gets out of the ring only to be met with a dive! Reigns is sent back inside but Sikoa hits Rhodes with the weight belt while the referee’s back is turned. However, he hears it hit and ejects Sikoa. Reigns grabs the weight belt as the referee tries to take it, allowing for Rhodes to hit a superkick and a Cross Rhodes, but it's only a 2!

Rhodes raises Reigns but he hits a jawbreaker and some strikes. He throws Rhodes out again and picks him up out of skinning the cat to hit a uranage. Rhodes kicks out at 2 though! Reigns lines up tor a Superman Punch but Rhodes reverses into a Pedigree! Kick out by Reigns though. Rhodes fires himself up, Reigns pushes him, he goes for the Disaster Kick but Reigns counters with a Superman Punch! Kick out by Rhodes! Reigns is doubting it, he lines up for the spear, Rhodes sunset flips though! Reigns is out but Rhodes locks in a Figure-4 Leglock. Reigns is in pain but he rolls over and Rhodes has to grab the ropes. Rhodes is up on the apron and the pair start exchanging strikes. Rhodes gets the advantage, drops Reigns with the rope and goes up top. He has to leap over a charging Reigns, he hits the ropes, but Reigns hits a spear! 1, 2, kick out! Grounded forearms by Reigns and then he locks in the Guillotine Hold. Rhodes is passing out but he keeps the arm up! Reigns responds by applying the body scissors but Rhodes is able to free himself! He rains down strikes on Reigns before accidentally taking out the referee. Reigns hits a Superman Punch but Rhodes hits a clothesline on the rebound. Both men are down but Rhodes rises first. He beckons Reigns up, prepares for the Cross Rhodes but the Usos intercept with superkicks and a 1D. They try to drag Reigns over Rhodes but here come Zayn & Owens! They fend off The Usos before hitting a Stunner and a Helluva Kick on Reigns! The Usos fight off with them, Rhodes drapes over for the pin as the ref comes to, but Reigns kicks out! Both men on their knees and they exchange strikes and headbutts. They continue onto their feet, Rhodes dodges a Superman Punch before hitting a Flip, Flop and Fly combo on Reigns! He hits a Cross Rhodes, then another, he wants a third as Heyman distracts the referee. Reigns backs them into the corner, when Solo Sikoa returns with a Samoan Spike to Rhodes. Reigns comes off the ropes twice, hits a spear, and 1, 2, 3. Oh. Someone throws a rubber chicken at Rhodes at some point. 

Pros: Big fight feel, hot crowd, exciting moments, pure face/heel goodness, Zayn/Owens get to appear Cons: Wrong winner, boring finish, Reigns maybe gets a bit slow with his methodical pace, though it works for Rhodes

This is definitely still a very enjoyable match, but man, that finish does it such a disservice. It's one of those matches that is really hot, enjoyably structured, and has some nice big moments, but it is all about it being that big finale where the face gets the big win. Taking away that final element makes for a definitely muddier match, and especially so with what I class as a pretty underwhelming finish. I just feel like if we HAD to do this, you do it with a more intense finish. I don't know. It's a good “American Main Event” style match performed well but damn, that finish still leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

3.5 STARS OUT OF 5

@simplyhuntleys asked: “…Holy shit, it’s Bret.” The redhead would whisper to herself, bright green eyes stared at the wrestler with excitement. A shy smile would appear as her hand dived into her pant pocket, pulling out a black marker. “W-Would it be okay if I asked for your autograph?”

Spotlight cast onto a new generation, gone were the days when the Hitman expected fame and glory for himself. Crowds who cheered for he - the bass of his theme song blasted throughout every speaker - children of all ages wearing his glasses, his t-shirts and memorabilia. It felt as if it were just yesterday. A moment that passed far too quickly; was gone in the very same flash from which it arrived. But sweet was the change, the goodbye that brought forth a new hello. No longer were the pressures placed onto Bret's shoulders. Burdens not his own to carry, not anymore, for once, he could sit back and enjoy.

Visiting the talent on a day that showed no sun, clouds and a cold breeze from the north, the WWE and her latest venue stop was where Bret chose to stay. A veteran who wanted to check on the youth, stalk the old stomping grounds, support the niece that he adored so much. Natalya gone off to do as she pleased, preparing for the show later that night, the call of his attention was a surprise that Bret was most happy to answer, a smile upon his lips in quick fashion.

"Of course." Bret replied, war scarred hands already reaching for the offered pen and paper, black ink signed. "It would be my pleasure. May I ask your name? Y'know, it's been awhile since I've signed anyone's autograph. Not too many people ask for mine as much as they used to. But you've made my day. You really have. I hope you've been having a good time around the WWE. We don't normally get the chance to see too many new faces."
