Kathrine's POV

It's Wrestlemania! Finally. The past month leading up to Mania has been so chaotic. I stayed at home the whole time so my knee could heal properly while Rhea, Dominik, Finn, and Damian were on the road. It's now Friday Night Smackdown and the Hall of Fame! Rhea and I will be the only ones actually attending the Hall of Fame in front of the crowd. Dom, Finn, and Damian will be backstage in the Judgment Day clubhouse.

Earlier in the night, the boys attacked everyone who is involved with the Six Pack Ladder match. Rhea and I came out in support of our boys. WWE is thankfully letting me be a part of the storylines still even though I'm injured. Only for this small part though. The picture of all of us standing in the ring together over everyone has become my new favorite picture. Especially since Rhea has hair extensions in. God, she looks even hotter with long hair.

Once we're all backstage, Rhea and I change into our dresses for the Hall of Fame. Rhea is wearing a nude dress with scattered rhinestones. Me on the other hand, I'm wearing a two-piece purple outfit. The top is a butterfly wing corset with gold accents while the skirt is a ankle-long lacey piece.

Rhea and I sat in camera view for the Hall of Fame. Once the show was over, all of us were tired and needed to hurry up and get to sleep. Thankfully I rented a bus for us to sleep in behind Lincoln Financial Field so we didn't have to wake up early just to get to the stadium.

The next morning was night one of Wrestlemania. Early in the day, we got told the match card. First, it was Rhea vs Becky, then it was Dominik and Santos vs Rey and Andrede, and finally, it was the Six Pack Ladder match that Damian and Finn were a part of. Does it suck to not have a match mania for the second year in a row? Yes, yes it does. I know that if I didn't get injured, I would've defended my IC title against whoever was supposed to go against me but we all know how that went. But I'm happy WWE found something for me to do!

I'm opening up Wrestlemania on both nights! The first night with Triple H and the second with Stephanie McMahon! Plus a halfway-through backstage segment. As it was getting closer to the time to start, I was backstage with Rhea in the Judgment Day clubhouse. I noticed that she started acting a bit differently.

"Rhea? You ok?" I asked her. She doesn't respond but she looks at me through the mirror. I immediately know what's going on. I walk over to her and gently turn her around, keeping my hands on her shoulders. I lower my tone and speak softly to her. "Hey. Hey. It's ok. You're ok. Just focus on me, ok? Focus on my voice." I continue to speak to her and get her to focus on me. "Let's take some deep breath, yeah? In through the nose and out through the mouth." She and I take deep breaths together.

"Good. You're doing amazing. Just keep doing that. Feel the air going into your lungs. Hear my talking to you. Feel me touching you. See me looking at you. Smell the smell of Dom's chicken tenders he ate as you breathe." She continues to breathe deeply. Her Aussie accent breaks through her subsides tears. Her voice low and soft. "Thank you." "You don't need to thank me, Riri. You ok? What happened?" I ask her with a tone that's a mix of concern but also love and curiosity. "It all finally hit me. What I'm about to do. Not only am I going against Becky but I'm the first match of the night. The first match of the biggest Wrestlemania ever! My match is what will set the tone for the rest of the weekend. I don't want to mess something up."

Hearing her concern and worry breaks my heart but I know how to help. "Hey. I know that this is huge. And a big responsibility. But tell me, what's you're name?" "Rhea Ripley." "Exactly. Rhea. Ripley. You are her and she is you. And Rhea doesn't take shit. She overcomes the odds and proves to everyone time and time again that she deserves her title, her status, her everything! And yes, there is a chance you may mess something up, but guess what? You're human. Humans make mistakes. Especially in this business. But if something does happen, remind yourself that things just happen and we can't control that. But I know that you got this. You are the perfect person to open the biggest Wrestlemania ever with. Because you are Rhea fucking Ripley. You got this. And I will always love you no matter the outcome or what happens out there."
