Alex's Point of View

'I've been hinting at a gimmick change once I move up. How have there been no rumors yet?' I think to myself as I check my Twitter. Drafts are coming up and I'm hoping to get moved up to Raw or Smackdown. I've been busting my ass at the gym and NXT. "Honey, are you okay?" My mother asks as we are on our way to the airport. I visited her in California for a week where everything has been slower since Wrestlemania. "There are no speculations . I know I'm being fairly subtle but when I do the three amigos on TV there should be some sort of buzz. I'm the long lost daughter of the late and great Eddie Gurerro and no one is even asking 'Who's this bitch stealing Eddie's moves?' You know? It's ridiculo," I say. "Give it time Mija, it'll be okay. And when you have your debut I'll be right in that audience with you Abuela. It'll be soo worth it," She says."I know. I just need to breathe and give it time," I say.

We get to the airport and Mami walks me to TSA. " I love you. Please be safe. I don't care what time it is, you call me when you get there," Mami says. "I will Mami. I gotta get going. I love you," I say, hugging her one last time before the drafts. I get through all the stops at the airport with half an hour to spare. I open my phone and check Twitter and there is definitely something there that'll get me buzz.


@DominikMysterio35 : Who does @Poppixie think she is using my fathers moves? She better not come to Raw unless she wants to get got.


Dominik Mysterio just at me on Twitter. I'm going to ignore it because I need to wait until my gimmick changes to ask for permission. I wouldn't actually want to upset anyone. I'm sure I'm already upsetting Dominik and I feel bad, but it's necessary right now.


Alexandria: Dominik at me on Twitter! It's already been retweeted a bunch of times!

Mami: That's good! Safe flight honey. I'll talk to you when you call.


I put my phone on airplane mode and take a nap with my alarm on through my headphones so I can be awake when we land. I wake up about 20 minutes before we land and put my stuff back in my carryon. Once we arrive at the airport I shut off my airplane mode and call Mami. "Hola Mami! I'm off the plane. I'm in Florida safe and sound and getting my luggage now. I need to be at the arena in 5 hours to get ready. You'll be watching with Abuela?" I ask. "Yes Mija, Abuela is right here eating breakfast," Mami says.

"Okay, please tell her I love her. I need to hit the gym," I say. "Ok Mija. We love you!" Mami says hanging up. I check the time and it's 8am. I start running to baggage claim when I accidentally body slam into someone. "Oh my god, I am so sorry!" I apologize as I look up to see who my victim is. None other than Dominik Mysterio himself. "No worries it happens," He says. "Are you-" "Dominik Mysterio? Yes, are you a fan?" He asks, cutting me off but making up for it by flashing a smile. "Big fan! Could I possibly get a picture?" I ask quietly, not wanting to bring too much attention to him. I know most of the main roster superstars get stopped at airports all the time. I'm sure it gets annoying. "Sure," He says. He wraps an arm firmly around my shoulders and we take a selfie. "Thank you!" I say. "Ah, no problem. Have a nice day," He says. "You too," I say. I can't believe that just happened. He's cuter and sweeter in person. I decide not to post the picture but send it to Mami.


Alexandria: [Picture enclosed] So this just happened! I accidentally body slammed him while running to get my luggage.

Mami: You body slammed one of your favorite wrestlers?

Alexandria: Yes! And he's cuter and sweeter in person!

Mami: Good for you honey.


I grab my luggage and order an Uber to my apartment. I get to my apartment and throw my clothes right into the washer. I walk across the living room into my bedroom. My bed, looking at me lovingly, asking me to sleep in it. I resist and walk to my closet and change into a pair of shorts, a sports bra, and a tank top. I put my chocolate brown hair in a messy bun and put my sneakers back on. I grab my water bottle, keys, and wallet and head to my car to go to the gym.

I get to the gym and start my workout, thinking about the draft. I hope I get drafted. I've been working hard and kicking ass at the gym and NXT. I get half way through my workout and decide to take a water break. The door to the gym opens and who walks in? Oh, just Rhea Bloody Ripley and following her is her Dom Dom. What's he doing? Following me? I know he's not but the coincidences are weird. I try not to get distracted and go back to my workout. Once I'm done, I manage to sneak by Mami and her Dom Dom and go to my apartment. I have about an hour and a half before I need to be at the NXT arena. I decide to take a bath and relax as much as possible before the drafts tonight.


During The Drafts


Triple H comes back with a new card of people being drafted. "Our number one pick from NXT...PopPixie will be drafted to Raw" He announces. Wait...I'm their number one pick? Oh my god! A few minutes pass and an interviewer comes to do an interview with me. "PopPixie, how does it feel to be the number one draft pick from NXT?" They ask. "It's a dream come true. I've wanted this ever since I was a little girl and to finally make it feel unbelievable," I say. The Draft finishes and I go home. I decide to call Mami. "Honey, I am so proud of you!" Mami says answering the phone. "Thank you! I hope I made Dad proud. I know I didn't get to spend much time with him, but I'll always treasure what time I had with him. I just wish I could tell him," I say, finally letting the emotions hit me as a few tears escape.

"I know Mija, I do too. We only dated for a few weeks, but he was still the best man I ever dated. I wish I knew more about him for your sake, love," Mami says. "I do too, Mami. Can I talk to Abuela?" I ask. "Of course. She's right here," She says. "Hola Abuela," I say. "Hola Mija! I am so proud of you for living your dream!" Abuela says. "Gracias! I know you are going to bed, but I just wanted to hear your voice." I say. "That's so sweet! Te Amo, Mija." She says. "Yo también te amo." I say.

'I love you too.'

I say goodnight to Mami and hang up, going to bed.
