Rhea's eyes widened ever so slightly as she watched Dominik pin Gunther in the middle of the ring from backstage on one of the monitors. Everyone, except for Rhea of course, was huddled around in complete disbelief that their new World Heavyweight Champion was no other than Dominik Mysterio.

Quickly spinning on her heels, Rhea made her way back to her locker room and shut the door and promptly let out a scream, jumping up and down as the adrenaline coursed through her veins.

He did it.

She knew he would. Rhea always knew Dominik had what it took to be one of the greats, she had known it from the moment she first saw him; squishy cheeks, innocent, way too polite, way too quiet, and naive as hell. But she saw beyond that, she always did. Rhea saw the parts he kept buried away, the good and the bad. And she loved every bit of it.

Rhea was practically bouncing throughout the room. There were still three matches to go before her match with Liv as the main event and she had way too much energy now to just sit still and wait. She could feel herself getting restless already.

Ugh she wished she could be the one to greet Dominik when he came backstage so she could tell him how proud she was but due to their circumstances, that would have to wait for later.

She didn't even know how much time had passed of her pacing around the room like a madwoman before the locker room door opened and Damian walked inside.

Instantly charging towards him, Rhea wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She yelled, making Damian laugh as he hugged her back.

He released her and patted the top of her head. "No sweat kid."

Rhea looked up at him and raised her eyebrow. "How did you know Finn would be coming out there to ruin the match?"

Damian scoffed. "Because it's Finn." He said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "And he did the same to me, remember?"

Her lips scrunched to the side of her mouth. Oh yeah, right.

"Well I owe you one...again."

Damian just waved her off. "That one was on the house. Dom deserved a fair chance."

Rhea's face spread into a knowing grin. "Aww you love little Dom Dom again don't you?" She teased.

"Don't push it." Priest warned. "...but yeah, he's alright I guess."

Rhea chuckled at Damian's half-assed attempt to act indifferent. She knew better, he wouldn't have gone out there and shut Finn down if he didn't genuinely believe Dominik deserved his moment.

"Pffft, 'he's alright' my ass," She teased as she crossed her arms. "You're just mad you actually like him again. He's quite the charmer isn't he? How could you not like my sweet boy?" She beamed.

Damian rolled his eyes but didn't deny it, which only made Rhea grin wider.

"He earned this," Damian admitted, rubbing his jaw. "That was one hell of a match. I didn't think he had it in him, but–" He exhaled sharply, shaking his head. "...that kid took Gunther's best shots and still pulled it off. I don't know whether to be impressed...or question his sanity."

Rhea laughed as Damian's brows furrowed in contemplation. "Both."

She was still bouncing on her heels in place and let out a pleased hum. "My little menace is a world champion! He's going to be soooo annoying about it to everyone, I can't wait!"
