LIVing the Dream (Liv Morgan x Male Reader)

Chapter 1

January 29th, St. Louis, Missouri

It was finally the day of the Royal Rumble. The event of the WWE calendar that starts the road to Wrestlemania. This year's event is taking place in St. Louis, Missouri at The Dome at America's Center. It is sure to be a big night for the WWE and its superstars.

Especially for a certain NXT star making his main roster debut...

*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*

Y/N groans as he reaches for his phone to shut off his alarm. He struggles to find it on his bedside stand but eventually manages to shut it off. He looks at the time that reads 7 AM. "Why am I up so early? On a Saturday too?" Y/N questions himself.

His eyes suddenly widen and he shoots up out of bed after realizing the importance of the day. "Oh shit! I'm in the Rumble." He exclaims. With a sudden burst of energy he quickly gathers some clothes and heads to the bathroom to start on his morning necessities.

Quickly leaving the bathroom he grabs his phone and leaves the room. He is currently heading to the gym in the hotel he and the other WWE superstars are staying at. Usually he drinks some sort of caffeine for his workouts, but since his excitement is through the roof he decided he didn't need any.

He makes it to the gym and starts his workout sticking to his split. While Y/N is in the middle of a set of tricep extensions, he doesn't notice a person coming up behind him. Finishing his set, he lets the cable go and slowly turns around as he catches his breath. As he reaches 180 degrees in his turn he jumps back slightly as he is surprised by the newly arrived person.

"Damn Tez you trying to give me a heart attack!" Y/N exclaims to the now revealed Montez Ford. Montez laughs at Y/N's reaction and responds to him. "I saw you from behind and was curious if it was actually you. What are you doing here man?" Montez asks curiously.

Y/N smirks while replying. " Oh nothing important. Just here to be in the rumble that's all." Y/N says nonchalantly. "What? You serious?" Montez asks surprisingly. "Dead serious. I'm hoping this is a start to a my main roster career and not a one-off type thing." Y/N responds.

"They finally saw your potential huh?" Montez says. "Yea, with NXT shifting to NXT 2.0, they want to change the brand's focus to the newer and younger guys. So I guess I got kicked out." Y/N jokingly finishes with a smile. " But in all seriousness I'm glad I'm finally going to be able to take my talents to Raw or Smackdown." Y/N says to Montez.

"Aye man that's great for you! We'll finally be able to run it back again." Montez responds referencing the times when the Street Profits were in NXT. "Yea maybe I can find someone to run with against you and Dawk. Or I can just kick both y'all's asses myself." Y/N jests back.

The two share a laugh and continue to catch up for a while. "Alright alright I'll let you finish up your sesh before you talk my ear off and keep me from mine." Montez jokes to Y/N.

Y/N laughs and agrees with Montez, but responds with one last quip. "You better hope I don't run into you in the Rumble. Might just have to end your Wrestlemania dreams." Y/N finishes with a smirk. The two then dap each other up and go their separate ways in the gym.

After Y/N finishes up his workout and heads back to his room to shower and get ready for his big day.

Heading to The Dome at America's Center...

Y/N is currently driving to the venue the Royal Rumble event is taking place at. It is around midday. After leaving the gym earlier he grabbed a bite to eat for breakfast and got his suitcase with his gear and took off.

He's listening to his "gameday" playlist as he starts his early preparations for his debut. Going back to his baseball days, he has always had his pregame routine to get himself prepared for big games. He admits that this day can qualify as a "big game".
