War for the heart of wrestling: A Faction War (Rhea Ripley X Male OC)

3.

Walking back into a wwe arena was something I had put out of my mind for a few years now but now that I was back under contract and standing in front of a mirror in a "unused" bathroom getting my face paint on things were really starting to set in for me that I was not only back in wrestling but that I was back home where I belonged and it felt good, like really good.

Luckily, even tonight was extremely simple on my end, all I had to do was stay up in the rafters and watch the show just tease that someone's up there watching sort of thing. I finished up getting ready and threw on my jacket then grabbed my crowbar after fixing my gloves and waited a bit before a production crew member came and quickly escorted me to a different locker room away from everyone else since the plan was to stretch out my return to the ring and make it a full on surprise at Summerslam potentially which was something that excited me as I waited around in the locker room watching the show and checking myself over in the bathroom making sure everything was everything even though I'd only be wearing a hood tonight I still made sure I had everything then about halfway through the show during a small break in the action

I stepped out of my locker room and again was rushed off to where I needed to be in the nosebleeds and we made sure it was a dark spot in the arena so no cameras or fans knew where I was until I'd be shown on the main hot camera to the wwe universe for the first time.

I found my position as quick and as safe as I could as judgement day's music hit just as I pulled my hood up over my head and watched everything from my spot in the high nosebleeds while I had a earpiece in my ear listening to hunter so i can hit my cue properly since I was so high in the arena.

The WWE Universe was feeling electric tonight, the energy in the building was on a different level and as soon as judgement day started to make their entrance the air seemed to change and the fans turned from happy and cheering after the last match to booing seemingly everything the judgement day was trying to say almost drowning them out completely while merrick watched on from the high nosebleeds more specifically he was watching two people and two alone actually glaring considering what the two had been doing these past few months

Dominik mysterio had allowed and sat back while his girlfriend rhea ripley was attacked and injured in a backstage segment months back by liv morgan was making her own way to the ring with her focus on dominik primarily, merrick wanted the too to pay for what happened all those months ago, heads needed to roll in his eyes but the hunt needed to be slow and calculated so he wasn't about to make this quick and easy for Dom he was gonna have him suffer.

But right now he just watched, plotted and planned him somewhat having anger issues when people he cared for were hurt helping immensely in the planning process as his intrusive thoughts led the way as he thought of how he could make Dom pay while liv morgan herself was a utterly different story he'd only scare and intimidate her knowing that rhea would take care of her, Dom was all his and he was gonna make him pay for his sins and transgressions at least to him.

The Monday night raw crowd felt a presence but it wasn't anything they had ever felt before this was different something was lurking in the shadows watching and waiting but soon they would find out as the lights in the arena dimmed for only a moment then quickly came back to full strength and standing along the railing of the nosebleeds unmoving in front of the entrance was what could only be described as a hooded figure since nothing too helpful in identifying the person could be seen except for the eyes and the fact that the person was wielding a crowbar draped across their shoulders and as the figure stared down at the crowd and ring below with a obviously unreadable expression as the commentary team with the help of the titantron showing the figure as well could make a comment on the uneasy situation that was currently going on that seemed to have brought the show to a standstill almost a complete stop.
