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

5.

My routine for the next few months was pretty simple, show up on raw, stalk the judgement day in one way or another while staying undercover, train at the performance center and some private training sessions to get off what ring rust I might have and repeat that until summerslam started to get closer and closer which meant I focused in my hunt more and more on dominik specifically making sure to show up almost everywhere he was whether it was a segment of some kind, backstage interview, catering or in the ring.

i just made sure that i made some sort of contact with him and also made sure to disappear just as fast as i came so that it would make him out to almost be crazy or a boy who cried wolf sort of situation.

I enjoyed it I won't lie but what I didn't expect was during that time was for demi to make a early return to raw, she wasn't cleared to wrestle obviously but still so in knowing that information while I tortured dom dom I left her little clues and teases that someone would be coming back to help her with liv and take care of dom but for tonight I went back to the basics

I sat high in the nosebleeds, hood on watching the show unfold and tonight was a special night in my case I'd be dropping for the first time from the rafters which excited me since this was going to be my last physical appearance on tv until summerslam which was a few weeks away by this point.

I hadn't decided yet on how i was going to return but that was something I could decide later on as right now I quickly got up and followed one of the production crew members who's name I'd learned was Sandra at this point,

she led me to where I needed to go in the arena so I can get to my position in the rafters and once i got there, the rigging crew got the harness I'd be wearing and everything situated onto me properly and I made my way to my position in the rafters just as my girl's music hit and when I say she looked good, she looked really good.

I sat up in the rafters leaning over it watching everything unfold just waiting for my cue then it came once dom and rhea both turned toward liv who was positioned in the fans walkway up above commentary, "guys, guys! let daddy Dominik talk"

I watched for a few more seconds as fans started to notice me and point me out while dom held the microphone and faced liv with commentary adding in their own comments to the situation, "uh oohh, Looks like someone decided to cause a little havik, huh cole?"

Michael cole watched on at the situation in the ring as he replied "you could say that again pat, this..this thing has been trying to get at the judgement day but more importantly dominik mysterio for weeks now really making his life hell I mean he's been everywhere"

I decided to descend down as a chorus of "holy shit" and "dom dom fucked up" chants rained down while I unhooked my harness and landed behind dom but in front of rhea then pulled the crowbar out of my jacket pocket and wrapped the curve around dom's neck which made him freeze entirely even before he spoke a word

I quickly yanked him back to me and set up for a scorpion death lock as I focused on liv while the crowd in the arena seemed to get louder and louder but my focus was solely on liv while I locked in the death lock a little tighter since dom was attempting albeit unsuccessfully to fight out of my grip.

Rhea was confused and for the first time in a long time in her career she was unsure about what to do in the current situation before her

the figure standing in front of her was currently holding her on screen love interest against his will, she was pretty sure this wasn't apart of the story but considering the circumstances that a live show had no pause button,

she just had to roll with it and roll she did as she gathered back her confidence and prepared herself for a face off with some unimportant male wrestler from catering that just wanted a few seconds of tv time.
