Ranzel: My Moment, Year 1 (WWE Fanfiction)

43

Becky POV

I was starting to worry about Russell. It was the same look when he was going against Sami Zayn for an #1 Contender match for NXT Championship. He would keep to himself, trying to prove himself that he belong in the ring.

I had to see Raij and Brick to help him.

Brick: It's not as bad as you think. This is his first WrestleMania plus his second time going in for the IC Championship. He doesn't want to let himself down. His confidence isn't high.

Becky: It's not as bad? Remember what he did after his match against Finn? He pulled a Gone Girl and disappeared.

Raij: It's his pride, Bex. Russ thrives on being known for his work in the ring. He doesn't want to be in his brother's shadow. He wants to win the WWE Championship and make his family proud. It's what we do as well.

Becky: Yeah. He then to said, that's why I wouldn't date him...

Charlotte: [Slightly intoxicated] He's right.

I turn to Ashley who was finishing her fourth glass of red wine. I hate when she's like this.

Charlotte: He has liked you since y'all met. But you would never give him the time because he was just a friend. He wouldn't give me the time because he was under your spell. But you were too naive to see what kind of man he was.

Becky: You like him too?

Charlotte: Of course! It tears me apart to see him try to get your heart and you reject him. I try to give him mine and he just stuck behind your ass.

Brick: Ladies, let's just calm down please. Russell not even single anymore.

Ash gasp, eyes widen, and got up from the couch.

Charlotte: What?!

Becky: Yeah, Ember Moon right? She was at Elimination Chamber, cheering him on.

Raij: They been dating since the Finn incident.

Charlotte: Oh okay. Becky...

Becky: Yes?

Charlotte: I hate you.

Charlotte left the room, wobbling to her room. Raij and Brick hug me to make me feel better. But it hurt that your best friend says she hates you and not in a "haha" way.

Brick: Listen, just talk to her in the morning. It's not your fault, Becky.

Raij: Russell is still your friend. I know someone who can talk some sense to him.

Rahzel POV

I walked inside my hotel room from the gym. Tonight, I fight Baron to keep my spot at WrestleMania. I was going to take my shower till I saw Scottie on the couch.

Scottie: [Patting the seat next to him] We need to talk.

I rolled my eyes and went over to sit next to him.

"What you want? I'm sweaty."

Scottie: Do you remember my first WrestleMania, WrestleMania 24.

I nodded. "Yeah. You were in a battle royal before the show started. You were out before the final participants."

Scottie: That's right. It's the smallest things like that I loved. I didn't care that it wasn't a title match or I didn't win. I shared my moment in front of my family and especially my brother. 

Russ, I hear the stuff people say about you. You here because of Scottie Ace, you're all talent and no charisma, just a waste of talent, this that and the third. You're none of those things. You belong here. You'll make your family proud, win or lose. You proved your worth. Now prove that you're a champion.

I believe in you. Do you believe in yourself? Don't tell me, show me.

Scottie got up and walked out my room. I smile as I let what he said sink in my brain.

Rahzel: He's right. Tonight, we got an ass to kick.

"Yes we do."

-RZ-

I arrived at the arena, waving at the fans. I kept on walking on till I taken down. I tried to get up but I was kicked on the side of my body.

The attacker picked me up and I wasn't surprised to see who it was.

Baron: I told you, you don't belong here!

Baron drag me into the trunk of my rental car. Lastly, he pick me for The Deep Six and slam me in the back window.

It was lights out after that.
