My Judgement Day (Rhea Ripley X Male Reader)

Deceit and Bron Breakker.

Smackdown. June 16th 2023

AJ Styles was waiting in Nick Aldis office.

AJ: Look I don't want to take up a lot of your time. I know I haven't been the easiest to deal with of as late. But you saw what happened in Puerto Rico. Me and Y/N tore the house down. It was unbelievable and I was one second away from beating him.

Aldis: You might have been but you didn't and he's on Raw and that's beyond my jurisdiction.

AJ: Okay, what about against Seth Rollins, I was a millisecond away from beating him to become the first World Heavyweight Champion. I was so close to beating Edge to be in the Money In The Bank ladder match last week.

Aldis: I know what you want. I can't give you that. It's Bobby Lashley vs Seth Rollins at Money In The Bank for the World Heavyweight Championship.

AJ: Fine give me one more chance. Whoever comes out on top between them to be a World Champion. Just give me one more chance. Nick, I need this. Please.

Aldis: I know you want to be WWE Champion again and you know how much respect I have for you. If you were asking me personally, 100% yes. Every day of the week. Professionally I can't give you what you want.

Raw June 19th.

Judgment Day locker room.

Y/N and Rhea were sitting around as Damian and Finn prepared for their matches tonight.

Rhea: So London huh?

Y/N: I know I'm so excited. I'm walking into the country as a Champion and walking out as a champion.

Rhea: Yeah because you don't have a match.

Y/N: I guarantee you I get one by the end of the night.

Damian: Guys, we're ready to go.

Y/N: Yeah let's go.

They all left the locker room but they didn't get very far being stopped by AJ Styles.

AJ: Hey, can I talk to Y/N?

Y/N: Sure, guys I'll see you out there.

They all left with lingering looks on Y/N who was focused on AJ.

Y/N: What's up man? Why you here?

AJ: Well I need to say something. I thought it would be best if I say to the people who've watched me for the last year.

Y/N: Really, you're going to retire?

AJ: I guess I am.

Y/N: Respect.

Y/N offered his hand which AJ shook before whispering something in his ear.

Y/N: I don't know. I don't want to intrude.

AJ: Please, for me.

Y/N: Fine, I'll see you out there.

In the ring. AJ Styles was wearing a blue suit.

AJ: I got to tell you, I've been thinking about what Nick Aldis said to me on Smackdown. I dwelled on it. If I want another opportunity at a World Championship I would have to go to the back of the line. He's doing his job I understand that and I dwelled on this. I thought about this all week. And I'm going to be honest with you guys, I just can't do that at this point in time in my career.

The crowd booed as it came painstakingly obvious of what was going to happen.

AJ: At this point of time in my life. I just can't do that. I have been doing this for over decades. I've been busting my body in these rings. Blood. Sweat. Tears. All over the world. You better believe it.
