WWE Develops "Year 2017"

Chapter 10 - First Day Of Training

Monday -8/1/17- The rookies woke up and ate breakfast together before heading for one of the biggest days in their journey towards making it in the wrestling business. It was their first day of official training at the Performance Centre and they were all so excited.

Role call was taken on the bus and away they went. There was silence throughout the journey from everyone except from Dean who was humming the tune of Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline". That made AJ and Paige giggle a bit.

When they got off the bus they were at the building where their tryout happened just a week prior.

Roman Reigns- "Has it really been a week since the tryout? It feels like it was only like two or three days ago."

Nikki Bella- "I know right. Paige remember when we destroyed the whole thing and tore the roof off the place?"

Paige- "Yeah, I hope our matches soon will be as good as that, if not better."

They arrived at the Performance Centre all gobsmacked. They stood in a line beside each other. Their journey was beginning. Their dreams were about to come true.

Dean Ambrose- "Let's kick this into sixth gear."

Dean walked in first followed by Roman Reigns. Then the girls walked in leaving Seth staring at the door in contemplation. He was ready to begin his journey to become the greatest champion in wrestling history.

Seth Rollins(thought)- "Ok Seth, it's time for you to go in there, work harder than anyone in that freaking building, kick all kinds of ass and become a legend. It begins here."

Roman came out to grab Seth.

Roman Reigns- "Hey man, you coming inside. We're getting an introduction to the facilities."

Seth Rollins- "Oh hell yeah let's go big man."

Seth and Roman caught up with the girls and Dean, they were talking to Paul Levesque.

Paul Levesque- "So no machines are off limits to you guys. You will start your day off with some stretches, then go for a treadmill run, then you should do some weights and work the other machines. You will then get a one hour lunch break to go to canteen and grab some food at 1pm. Then you'll get back and stretch again and then you'll focus on various aspects of ring work until 5pm. You will then do continuous circuit training taken by Chris Jericho. He'll give you activities to do such as push-ups, sit-ups or his personal favourite Hindu squats. If you guys can't remember that then here's a schedule with the times you're required to do each activity at."

Paul gave them all a piece of paper with their names at the top and a work-out schedule to closely follow.

Paul Levesque- "I'll leave you up to your own devices to do what you want and check out the machines but tomorrow you will be pushed hard by the trainers. I've got to go see my wife so I'll see you guys later."

Paul is married to Vince McMahon's daughter Stephanie.

The rookies separated into two groups. One was the guys the other was the girls and they worked out in their threes. Seth and Dean started on the treadmills while beside them Roman was lifting weights.

Roman Reigns - "Hey Dean, you know what the best thing about working out here is?"

Dean Ambrose- "I'm guessing it's the chick who's beside the rowing machines ass."

Seth started laughing.

Meanwhile the girls were over the other side of the room. Nikki and AJ were doing weighted squats while Paige was doing some yoga on a mat.

Nikki Bella- "I am really happy to be working out here. It's a huge step up to the gym back in San Diego that I went to before."

AJ Lee- "I was kind of fortunate as New Jersey had a lot of decent gyms but they are crappy compared to this."

Nikki Bella- "Paige, how were the gyms back in Norwich?"

Paige wasn't listening she was looking into what seemed like empty space to Nikki and AJ but in actual fact that space was occupied.

AJ Lee- "Earth to Paige, hello?"

Paige snapped out of her stare

Paige Bevis- "Oh sorry guys I was um ... really focused on that stretch there."

Nikki Bella- "I think Paige has a little crush on one of the guys."

Paige was now blushing.

AJ Lee- "She does. Which one is it? Is it Seth? Wait no Dean or is it Roman?"

Paige Bevis- "Will you guys drop it I don't have a crush on one of the guys. I barely know them."

Nikki Bella- "We are going to find out eventually who you were staring at."

The girls moved on from that conversation and eventually time passed and it was time to head back to their apartments. Seth and Dean were sweating profusely from all of the running they did on the treadmill. Roman was feeling good and kept flexing his arms. The girl were all in good shape as the bus pulled away from the front of the Performance Centre the rookies were all so happy after their first day.

Roman Reigns- "If everyday is like that then life is going to be great."

AJ Lee- "Yeah, and the best part is that we get to share this experience together."

The rookies looked round at each other.

Seth Rollins- "As friends."

They were all very comfortable talking to each other now. There were not two groups now. No girls one side and guys the other but one group of six rookies. Starting a lifelong dream and a lifelong journey.

They got back to the dorms said their goodnights and went to bed straight away so that they would be fresh for the intense training that the next day would have.

Authors Note: What could Paige of been looking at? Was it one of the guys?
