The stadium was packed with screaming fans with wrestling shirts of every kind and color. Fans were crowded out the front doors, shifting occasionally when a group was allowed to take their seats for the event. I reach in my pocket to pull out my phone. Across the top read the time: 7:52. I text my mom as i had promised and assured we made it here and were safe.
When we reach the door a tall lady, about her thirties, was dressed in a security suit holding a scanner with a red laser layered on the top. She takes our tickets, scans them, and then hands us back the attached backstage pass with a string around it for a necklace. We then walk excitedly through the doors.
The inside was a gloomy gray color that couldn't even put dim against the situation we were in. We're actually at a wrestling match. I actually say Analyssa pinch herself. An usher led us to large tan double doors.
When we enter we are in between two large seating areas. We walk down the long path to reach the front row, before taking a long path down to the corner. Our seat was adjusted where the end of the entrance ramp was and where the start of the ring area was. An absolutely perfect view. We didn't dare sit in the metal seats given. It ruined the excitement. The clock strucks 8:00 and the Raw theme song booms over the arena.
You can hear the stupid Michael Cole, JBL, and the awesome Jerry Lawler commentating the introduction. Their voices were barely audible over on the other side of the ring but it was clear enough when they stopped and the titantron screamed:
I'm here to show the world!
I'm here to show the world!
Oooohhhh
Dolph Ziggler walks out with his greasy blonde hair slicked back with a hint more bleach than usual. His teal and neon yellow shirt was the same as ever, loosely wrapped around him along with his teal speedo. He was accompanied by a skipping AJ, with her ripped Dolph Ziggler shirt as well, and her skull emblazoned shorts and Chuck Taylors. Big E Langston was to the right of him, as big as usual, with his black and yellow bumblebee-like leotard lookin thing. Finally, he climbs into the ring, over the second rope and throws his shirt to some lucky boy in the crowd.
And then another song cut off Dolph Ziggler's and boomed throughout the arena:
S.O.S I hear them shoutin
S.O.S I hear them cryin
Kofi Kingston shoots out of the entrance, landing with firecrackers onto the ramp, breaking into a sprint to the ring. His bright neon yellow speedo and shin covers were probably expectant to pull away from the excitement shooting throughout the WWE Universe in the crowd. I found myself cheering wildly with hoots and jeers, while Analyssa, favoring Dolph Ziggler, sat in hushed silence. I feel his sweaty palm slap against mine as i wipe it off awkwardly. lol
Kofi jumps onto the turnbuckle facing us, exploding into a flip onto the bouncy mat, the eagerness clear in his eyes. Big E and AJ drop from the ring apron and wander around. The loud bell rings as they have a short stare off before exploding into action.
Mom was right. Sweat flipping and flicking everywhere in the front rows. People were desperately wiping it off on each other and just flicking it back hopelessly, while I, didn't worry much about it myself. I watched the match intently. Well, intently as intently can be, until Analyssa nudged me in the side.
"This is amazing, ?Hope!" she shouted over the loudest crowd ever.
"I know right. I'm glad you can come. Look!" I reply.
I flick my head over towards where Dolph Ziggler lay in a scraggly heap on the mat. That is, for a while. Big E jumps up onto the ring apron and enters the ring fearlessly, striking a tough blow against the back of Kofi's head. This knocks Kofi to his knees on the place where Dolph Ziggler lay a few seconds earlier before he crawled out with the help of AJ. I scream boos as hard as my throat will allow. They were kind of drowned out by Analyssa's cheers behind me. What does she see in this threesome?
When I look up agian, the beefy arms of Big E were pulling down his leotard straps to reveal his chest and abs. Whoa, he needs a bra! Then, Kofi was straight over his right shoulder, stomach down, and is splatted onto the floor of the ring. Big E gets up supposedly happy. The only thing that made the moment cheerful was Analyssa was coughing from her cheering behind me. As they exit, I slap her on the back comfortingly.
~Intermission Sounds~
Analysa and I walk out into the concession area. We pick up a cup of ice water. to sooth our throats.
"That was awesome. I can't say it enough. lol. DO you know what match is up next?" I ask before sipping my water.
She was already on her IPhone but she exited to the WWE app to update. "Up next is Tamina vs. Kaitlyn."
"I hate Tamina. She's too blegh. I bet I can take her," I say. We walk to the bathroom, after ditching our drinks at our seats. I pull back some more of my hair, for the lights in the arena sure do get you sweaty. I then wait for Analyssa.
We reach back to our seats right as it was about to start again. The entrance music sounds and Tamina comes out.

Hope you liked it. Sorry for shortness though. I wanted to add something else but it would sound weird in first person. Vote and Comment.
