By Myself

//1//

I was in the ring against Dana Brooke for my debut match on the main roster.It was the Raw after WrestleMania. The biggest ones of the year,my energy was sky rocketing and the adrenaline was pumping.She had currently put me in a side head lock,the crowd chanting "LETS GO LINA" trying to give me that extra strength I needed.I was pushing out of it and I threw her down face first then when she was standing up I put my leg on the back of her neck jumped up and she went face first into the mat.I called this move the Red Star.I went for the pin the ref slapped the mat 3 times . "ONE.TWO.THREE." The ref yelled. I had just won my debut match everything felt so surreal. I jumped up and the ref lifted my hand. "And your winner Lina Jadddee"Jojo announces as my theme song plays.I exit the ring happy knowing I had finally made it.

     I made my way backstage and I was greeted my Nia and Alexa first. "Congrats!"Nia says holding her title on her shoulder "Welcome to Monday Night Raw!"Alexa says. HHH walks up to me next while I was engaging in a conversation with Ember who had also debuted tonight. "Great job out there Ms.Perez" He says shaking my hand and calling me by my real last name. "Thank you sir,I'm so glad to be here I won't let anyone down." "H-hey I need a picture.." a shy camera man says. "Sure."HHH says pulling me into the signature "hand shaking pose" that he does with all the NXT stars. "Dont forget the superstar shake up is next week so be at the arena on time.Because you have the first match of the night." He says after we take the picture. "Okay I will."I respond before he walks off. "Sooo are you excited?" Ember said "Yes!Totally this is such a great night one of the best of my career I don't even care if I get drafted" "Honestly me and you would be great anywhere we go!" Ember says giving me a high five. "Now what do we got here?Is that Adelina?" A familiar voice says. I turn to meet the eyes of Samoa Joe. We had both been in Ring of Honor before Wwe. I used to manage Rocky Romero for a while. "Joe so good to see you!" I say hugging him. "Good to see you to tuafafine" (sister in Samoan) "Making a comeback anytime soon?"I ask. "Tonight actually."He says. " That's great! This is Ember."I reference toward her.  "Yes Ember I'm sorry,good to see you,congrats too" He says shaking her hand "Thank you,so back from recovery?"She asked curiously "Yup starting a fued with Roman don't worry you'll see in a few,but want me to introduce you newbies to everyone?" "Sure" He walks us to catering where there's a bunch of other talent.We approach a table of 7 people first. 3 of them we already knew.Joe introduces us to them all Luke Gallows,Karl Anderson,Finn Bálor,Matt and Jeff Hardy ,Sheamus and Cesaro. "Well ladies welcome to Raw!"Cesaro and Sheamus shake our hands. "Very good to see ya"Finn says hugging us followed by Gallows and Anderson. "Great to have ya" Jeff says Matt nodding in agreement. "You guys basically made me want to get into wrestling professionally so thank you"I say smiling and shaking their hands. "Aw that's adorable,just let us know if you need anything we can be your fake mentors because I heard you trained with Brian Kendrick and Daniel Bryan."Matt says laughing. "I did actually those guys are great but i'm totally up for some extra help " I say smiling "You too Ember" Matt says. " I'm down! But we should go see the other superstars great talking to you guys" Ember says.Joe leads us to another table of stars who I found out are Braun Strowman,Bray Wyatt, Curtis Axel,Bo Dallas ,The Miz and his wife Maryse. We chatted for a while and it felt so cool to see people who started just like me,of course I knew who they were but to be talking and having conversations with these superstars was amazing. We went to a table were Alexa and Nia were sitting and briefly caught up with a newly retired Paige,Alica Fox ,Sasha,Bayley, Mickie and Auska. Then the last table we went to was filled with superstars Roman Reigns Seth Rollins and Elias.Now me and Elias were in NXT at the same time but never really talked, unlike him and Ember they always talked and enjoyed each other's company,he just wasn't very social with everyone. "Hey guys this is Ember and Lina" Joe said announcing us to the table. "So Elias ya hanging with the big dogs now?" Ember teases. "Great to see you too Ember, but if they're the big dogs are you the chihuahua?" He teased back ,she lightly slapped his arm "Whatever"she replied.He didn't say anything to me he just nodded. "Well I'm Adelina but you can just call me Lina"I said shaking Romans hand "I'm Joe but you can call me Roman everyone does anyway,plus don't wanna mix me up with that knuckle head " He refrences to Samoa only getting a playful eye roll in return. "Got it,and Seth,nice to meet you"I say shaking his hand "Same to you both"he sates smiling at the both of us. "Well Roman shouldn't we be heading out now ? Our promo is in like 10 minutes."
"Yea actually your right I still have to get oiled up a little so I'll catch you guys later." He stands up and turns to Joe "You coming?" "Yea so I'll see you guys later" He says jogging off with Roman sending me a wave. "Ember sit here." Elias says,she does leaving me standing,Seth gave me a look as if inviting me to sit too. " I think I'm gonna go find who I'm  traveling with and then catch up with Jose" I say toward Ember. "Want me to come with?"She asks "No it fine ill just text you later,nice to meet you Seth." "Same to you Lina look forward to seeing you around" "Yea most definitely."I smile them just give Elias the same nod he gave me. I walked to Stephanie's office and was told I would be traveling with Sasha Banks.I had searched around backstage for No Way Jose but couldn't find him so I searched for Sasha instead.I finally found her and we went to go get our stuff and pack the car.We were outside trying to figure out a way to shove our bags in the trunk. "Maybe if we just put these two in the back seat there would be space." She suggested moving our two biggest bags out of the trunk.We had totally forgot our car had third row seating and we had been wasting our time completely. "Duh" I mentally slapped myself for not realizing that,I grunted pulling the bags out of the trunk.She took hers to the seat and so did I.I was adjusting my bags in the back seat so that it wasn't blocking the view of the glass too much.I heard the noise of a suitcase rolling toward our car.I just ignored it because it was probably someone stopping to talk to Sasha and so I just grabbed my charger out of my suitcase and got out the car to see who Sasha was talking to. It was Elias. "Um so Lina ,Elias here needs a ride to the hotel because the company is a car short and basically he has no one else to ride with..." Sasha explained obviously insinuating that he wanted to know if he could ride with us. "There's no space in the trunk so put put your bags in the third row with ours and whatever is left can go in the second row with you"  
"Thanks"He said.
   That was the first and only word he said to me that whole night even when we arrived at the hotel.No words.At all,even for small things he would ask Sasha and at this point I'm beginning to dislike him a little bit.
