Adam Cole just hit in the Last Shot on Finn. Finn is down as Adam goes in for the pin.

One. Two. Three. Ding ding. "And new NXT Champion, Adam Cole!" Alicia Taylor says into the microphone. You stand in the crowd and watch as Adam holds that title high up in the air. His music plays and Finn sits in the corner, looking up at the belt he carried with pride during his 182-day reign.

The music stops and you watch Kyle O'Reilly come out from nowhere, attacking Adam. Finn watches for a second before his eyes try to find you in the crowd. You sit front row at ringside so it's easy for him to find you. Finn rolls out of the ring but doesn't come to you when his eyes find you. He sulks backstage and you begin to make your way through the crowd to go meet up with your husband.

When you show your pass to get to the backstage area, you don't see Finn. You walk up to Shotzi Blackheart and ask, "Did you see where Finn went? I saw him come back here."

Shotzi nods and says, "He went back towards the locker rooms. I'm sorry he lost his title, Y/N. I know he was so proud to have it."

"He'll be okay," you say. "Congratulations on winning your title tonight. You've deserved it for a long time."

She smiles at you and you walk off to find Finn. You make your way through the maze of hallways until you get to Finn's locker room. You knock softly and call, "Finn? It's Y/N. Can I come in?" No answer.

You slowly open the door and see Finn sitting on the couch with his back turned to you. You notice he's still in his gear. You walk in and close the door. You approach him and wrap your arms around his neck from behind him, kissing his shoulder. "Hey, baby," you whisper. "You okay?"

"No," Finn says, voice shaky. You look up at him and see his cheeks wet with tears. Your heart breaks at the sight. You walk around the couch and crouch in front of your husband. You put your hands on his knees and look up at him.

His pretty blue eyes are filled with tears and he looks at you. You pout and say, "Finny, baby."

Finn gets up and says, "I'm going home. I don't wanna talk about it." He grabs his clothes and disappears into the bathroom. You sigh and sit on the couch.

You knew he was upset, but you didn't know it would be this bad. He's lost titles before, but none of them have made him act like this.

He comes out of the bathroom, throwing his gear in the suitcase and walking out of the room. You sigh and follow him. You walk several feet behind him, grabbing your car keys out of your pocket.

Both of you get outside and you unlock the car. Finn angrily throws his things in the trunk then gets in the passenger's seat.

It's going to be a long ride home and you are not looking forward to it.

***

Finn gets out of the car as soon as you park the car in the garage. The door slamming shut makes you jump. He's already inside when you get out. You lock the car and walk inside.

You hear footsteps going up the stairs when you make your way from the kitchen to the living room. You hang up your keys by the door and kick off your shoes before you walk upstairs.

Soft sobs come from your bedroom that you share with Finn. The sound alone makes you tear up. You appear in the doorway and see Finn sitting on his side of the bed, facing away from you. His hands cover his face and they quiet his sobs a bit. You let out a quiet sigh and crawl into bed, settling on your knees behind him. You wrap your arms around him and say, "I am so proud of you, Finn. You held the title for 182 days. You fought through a broken jaw. Name a champion that has done that."

"None of that matters if I don't hold the title," Finn cries. "I never should have lost the title to Cole of all people. I wanted to prove that I could beat the best of the best. Cole is one of the best that's wrestled in the sport. If I can't beat him then why I am here."

You tighten your grip around his neck and say, "You're here because you love wrestling. You love the sport, you love being in the ring. Believe it or not, Finn, but you are one of the best that's wrestled too. Two-time NXT Champion, the first ever Universal Champion, two-time Intercontinental Champion. Not to mention the titles you've won in Japan and across the world."

Finn says, "I held the Universal title for less than a day, and the only reason I was champion was because Kross got injured for the same reason I did. All I wanted was to make ya and my family back in Ireland proud."

He looks over at you and you press your forehead to the side of his head. Tears prick at your eyes. You hate that he's doubting himself. He's one of the most decorated wrestlers you know. "Finn," you sigh. "You have made me proud. You've made your family proud. You don't need a title to make us proud, baby."

"Ya don't need to lie to me, Y/N," Finn sighs.

You close your eyes and say, "I've never lied to you, Finn. If it makes you feel better though, you're my NXT Champion, baby. You'll always be my NXT champion."

He rests his hands on your arms and looks over at you. "I don't have the belt anymore," Finn says.

After crawling onto and sitting on his lap, you say, "You don't need to have the belt to be my champion, Finn. I love you with or without the belt."

Finn pecks your nose and says, "Ya always know what to say to make me feel better."

You smile and say, "It's my job as your wife to know what to say to make you feel better." You wrap your arms around his neck and look at him.

"Ya know what else would make me feel better?" Finn asks.

"What would that be?" you say, knowing what the answer probably is.

His eyes give away what is answer is too, especially when they flicker to your lips. Finn says, "Distracting me." One of his hands slips between your thighs, close to your core.

You gasp and say, "You're bad, you know that? You were upset like two minutes ago and now you want sex?"

Finn shrugs and says, "Maybe I do. Maybe I don't."

Just to get him going, you run a finger down his chest and say, "You did look pretty hot in that ring tonight."

He laughs and kisses you. The kiss is soft at first but starts right get intense almost immediately. You move until you're straddling Finn's thighs. You manage to get his shirt off before he lays you on your back.

You distract him almost all night long. You make him take breaks because unlike him, you can't go all night long.

The next morning, Finn wakes you up with kisses to your face. "Good morning, love," he mumbles against your cheek. "Wakey wakey."

"Finn," you grumble, half asleep. "It is too early for another round of sex. I can't do it."

He laughs and says, "I made ya breakfast, baby. Maybe sex afterward though."

You giggle and look over at Finn. You peck his lips and say, "Depends on how good breakfast is." You get up and put on one of Finn's shirts and a pair of panties. Finn laughs as you leave the room, walking downstairs to the food.
