I went to the after party but didn't stay long as I got a text message from General Manager Regal to talk to him when I get back to NXT.
But before I left...
Becky: Great match last night
I turn to see Becky, looking stunning in a black blouse and white short cut jeans.
"Yeah, I was okay." I said, adjusting my glasses.
Becky: You were amazing against Hideo. Including doing the GTS on him. Plus, didn't you hear the crowd? They want to see you on Raw and Smackdown Live!
"Amazing is an understatement Bex Bex. But thanks. It means a lot. Honestly."
Becky: So what now. After that performance, you should be called up in no time.
"Yeah. Regal wants to see me once I make it back to Florida. So we'll see."
Becky: So...which show would you rather go?
It was a tough. It wasn't my choice but it would. Go to Raw and join Raij and Brick to complete the trio and eventually go against The New Day. Go to Smackdown to go solo, be next to Becky, eventually fight against John Cena, AJ Styles, etc.
"Honestly, I don't know Becky. Tough decision. But I rather be with you...on Smackdown."
She was blushing with her beautiful skin.
Becky: Aww Russ. I hope to see you there as well.
We continue to talk while I walk her to her hotel she was staying at. We laugh loud and quickly went quiet not walking anyone. We made it to her room.
Becky: Thank you for walking with me. Glad we caught up. Gotta do it again.
"I would love to do this again. With you" I said with a sheepish smile.
We were silent but I wanted to be with her more, staring into her lovely eyes. An snore broke our moment.
"Sounds like that's my que."
Becky: Ha, maybe you need hearing aid. Sounds like a snore.
I laugh as we hugged and she quietly close the door. I got in a taxi head to my hotel.
After arriving back to NXT, Regal told me in two weeks will be my final match on NXT with a mystery opponent.
2 weeks later
NXT
My last matchI was in the ring in my "Glorious" blue attire, awaiting my opponent. The lights went off.
Guitar riffs echo through the arena as the crowd pop big. I knew who I was facing.
With the violin riff, titantron spell "Shinsuke Nakamura." I was facing the new NXT champion.
Graves: This will be true test for Rahzel. Nakamura and Rahzel have not face each other.
Philips: Rahzel has a BIG opportunity if he beats Shinsuke. A possible title match.
Moments later
Shinsuke was waiting behind me by the turnbuckle. Preparing for his finishing move. The crowd was fired up and wanted more.
Philips: Rahzel rising up. Shinsuke heading for the-
Graves: KINSHASA!
His knee strikes the back of my head and I was down. He turns me over and pins me
1
I have a bad track record facing against NXT champions. Sami, Finn, and now Shinsuke.
2
But I still got some fight left in me. I'm not going give up. I belong here in the ring and I have something to prove.
The referee had his hand close to the mat and I kicked out of the pin.
Graves: Rahzel kicks out of the kinshasa! Unbelievable!
Philips: What a close call Corey!
Shinsuke prepare to hit another kinshasa. This time right in front of me. It was an opening I needed to get into this match.
I sit up and saw ready to strike.
Philips: ready for another kinshas-No. Fishermen suplex from Rahzel-
Graves: Into the Wolf's fang!
I had Shinsuke's head between my legs and his left arm stretch out in a armbar.
He tries to pull me to the ropes but I was dead weight to him. Eventually he made to the ropes. I got off before the ref counted to five.
Shinsuke and I continue on the fight. Me taking his kicks and knees while he had to "Rahzplex Residence." It's like Suplex City except I do more suplexes than just german suplex.
Towards the end of the match, I ate another kinshasa. Close to 3, I kicked out. I know right then, one more and I'm done.
That was the plan as I stagger up on my feet and look at the champ. I motion him to bring it. And he did.
Graves: KINSHASA!
1, 2, 3
It was over and I was laying down on the mat. Another loss, another time I found myself looking up, another walk of shame.
Shinsuke's music stop as I'm start to get up. Shinsuke was still in ring and extend his hand. I do the same thing and the crowd gave a standing ovation.
At the entrance, Hunter and the current and past NXT superstars, including my boys stood there and clapped for us. Tears were in my eyes as I walk up to the ramp.
It didn't matter about losing the match. It was about how I perform for the final time in NXT
WWE No Mercy
Mauro: Apollo takes Konnor out of the ring, leaving Rahzel with Viktor.
Scottie: Rahzel got him up!
Mauro: Glorious Rendition! Mamma mia!
1, 2, 3
Ring announcer: Here's your winners: Apollo Crews and Rahzel!
Mauro: What a debut for Rahzel against The Ascension along with Apollo Crews.
JBL: What a start to a great career. He might exceed your career, Scottie.
Scottie: We may see John. We may see.
I got in the back and all the superstars clap their hands for me. I shook their hands and thank them before heading to the locker room. But I was stopped by one man.
John Cena: Nice work out there kid. Glad to work with you here.
I was starstruck. He is still my favorite superstars and he told me I did a great job (Maybe not that. But still)
"Th-th-thanks Mr. Cena" I said, trying not to fangirl into a coma.
Cena: Just call me John.
He patted me on the back as he went on his way to the triple threat match with Styles and Ambrose.
Best night ever!
