You and Randy stood outside of catering for a while catching up, "and I just stuck around after the whole legacy thing, had a few good rivalries and now I'm doing my thing with Riddle," Randy said, "it's actually a great time once you get used to the guy."

You laughed, "you two are complete opposites, that's why it is so entertaining to watch."

"You've kept up on everything?" he asked, taking a bite of his sandwich.

You nodded, "I was away from it for a while, but I got back into it recently, Hunter called at the right time, I was just beginning to miss it," you explained, "just don't tell him that," you said with a laugh.

"My lips are sealed," Randy responded with a laugh.

"Hey Randy!" you heard a voice call, immediately a smiling Riddle came around the corner on his scooter.

"Riddle," he said, clapping him on the shoulder, "meet-"

"Banchee!" he shouted, "I'm a huge fan!"

You smiled and shook his hand, "great to meet you, Riddle."

Randy looked at Riddle in confusion, "you didn't get that excited when you met me?"

Riddle laughed, "well you're not (Y/N), I loved watching you wrestle growing up!"

"We wrestled at the same time," Randy added.

You laughed and placed a hand on Randy's shoulder, "it's ok Randy, don't take it too personal, he chose you as a tag partner."

You spent a few minutes talking to Randy and Riddle before checking the time and realizing you had to get back to the locker room where Seth, Roman and Dean were probably waiting for you. "I hate to cut this conversation short, but I really should get going," you said giving Riddle and Randy a tight hug before heading back to the locker room area.

You snuck back into a conference room where the Shield was waiting. "We wondered if you ran off?" Dean said with a smirk.

You chuckled, "no, I just ran into an old friend."

"Does that mean people know you're here?" Roman asked.

You shook your head, "no, I wasn't seen by anyone else, and my friend can keep a secret, I promise."

Seth nodded, "great, so we have a plan for tonight?"

You nodded, "yes, I am ready for a fight tonight."

"Good," Dean said, clapping you on the shoulder roughly, "because where we go, a fight tends to follow."

Later that night - Ring Announcers POV

"The Shield victorious against 3MB," Michael Cole said.

"Like there was any doubt," Corey responded, "the Shield is the most dominant faction in recent years."

As Michael was going to respond, the music of the Judgement Day interrupted. "And it looks like the Judgement Day is here to make another statement," Corey narrated.

"It was last month that the Judgement Day defeated the Shield at Summerslam thanks to Rhea Ripley's involvement," Michael commented.

"Of course it was thanks to Mami," Corey interrupted, "she knows how to help her men win."

"Isn't that cheated, Corey?" Michael asked.

"Of course not!" Corey defended, "it's only called winning."

Your POV

You watched backstage in a private room as the Judgement Day began their banter with the Shield. You had to admit, they were all good on the mic.

As the banter went on, Rhea finally spoke, "come on boys, let's show these wannabes how real champions fight."

"Hold on, Hold on," Seth said, holding his hand up, "boys," he said, leaning towards Dean and Roman, "it looks like Rhea is calling all the shots for her bitches."

The three of them laughed, but Dom responded, "show some respect for Mami!"

"Respect?" Dean asked, "I don't-"

"Hold on," Seth interrupted, "Dom is right for once, we should show Rhea some respect."

"That's right," the Judgement Day agreed, clapping as Rhea raised her championship above her head.

"That is right," Seth continued, "because without her, these guys wouldn't even be relevant."

The crowd roared in laughter as the Judgement Day reeled. "That's enough!" Damien interpreted, "we are a tight knit group, and Rhea is the strongest women superstar in this business."

"That;s right!" Rhea continued, "and there is no one else like me."

"That's my cue," you said quietly to yourself.

Hunter peaked his head into the room, "I've cleared the red room and cued up your music," he said with a smile as you heard the mixture of emotions from the crowd as Rhea smiled.

You shook your arms out and smoothed out your leather jacket, "I'm ready," you said, letting a large breath out.

Hunter nodded as you walked past him and nodded to the producer to play your music as you strode confidently out of the curtain.
