Thorne ~Rhea Ripley Fan Fic~

Chapter 1

Lilly's pov

Today was the day. Tonight is my debut on Monday Night Raw. I got the call 2 weeks ago they brought me up from NXT. It was a surprise to myself. After Rhea left to move up I have been by my self. I guess Triple H saw something he liked in me because he was adamant I start today.

I am meant to be a surprise. None of the super stars know I transferred from NXT. Only Triple H, Stephanie, and the screen writers know. I wasn't even able to tell my older brother, who is all the ways over seas.

I'm sitting in an empty locker room getting my ring gear on. My gear consists of a studded leather crop top, covered with a leather jacket, some leather shorts, fishnets, and combat boots. I threw my hair up into a messy bun and put on dark make up. I covered myself with a super large hoodie and put on some sun glasses.

I heard a knock on the door. Triple H slid in and and gave me a smile.

"Are you ready for this?" He asked with a smile.

I laughed a bit, " Hell yeah!"

He let out a chuckle and led me to the gorilla. A tech worker ran up and said I was on in 5. I did a little prayer, praying I didn't make a fool of myself. The plan was to interrupt Demi AKA Rhea Ripley, who was talking shit about being the best woman to come up from NXT. She, of course, would have the rest of Judgement Day with her.

Demi and I are actually really best friends outside of the ring. it was really hard keeping this a secret. This will be a huge suprise to her.

With ten seconds left I stripped down to my ring gear. I walked to the opening of the stage and they cued my entrance song "American Nightmare" by Ice Nine Kills (1:00). I heard the crowd scream my name. Rhea looked at me in utter shock as I strutted down the ramp.

"Oh my god.. it's a Thorne from NXT!" I heard Cole yell.

" look at the shock on Ripley's face" Barrett laughed.

When I got to the ring I stepped in and was handed a mic. The rest of The Judgement Day were standing behind Rhea in confusion.

"I heard you think you're the shit Rhea?" I said in confidence " Surprised to see me here Rhea? I bet you bloody are! Did you really think I wasn't going to be brought up from NXT? You were wrong. We all knew we were gonna meet in the ring again sooner or later. "

She still hasn't said anything. I can almost see the gears in her head running.

"Speechless?" I asked taunting her.

She did that thing where she licked her top row teeth and smile. For some reason I felt my stomach flutter.

She put the pic up to her mouth. " Thorne...so great to see you. Last time I saw you, you weren't so...loud."

She gave me that gut wrenching smirk. I loved when she did that. I don't know why, but I did.

" Don't act like you are better than what your really are Rhea. Remember, I am your biggest competitor, forget the girls in the locker room. It was always me and you, back and forth." I walked up to her." Just remember Rhea... I'm always here waiting ." I stared her in the eyes and backed away slowly with my arms up. I turned and got out of the ring, walking up the ramp with a huge smirk on my face.
