ALL IN: AN AEW FANFICTION

Rashad Jones spent eight years chasing one dream: becoming a professional wrestler.

After years of grinding through small independent shows across the Southeast, sleeping in his car, and fighting for every opportunity he could get, Rashad finally made it to WWE's NXT.

Then, just hours before he was supposed to wrestle, everything came crashing down.

Released without warning and convinced his dream is over, Rashad doesn't know where to go next. But fate has other plans.

An unexpected encounter with Hikaru Shida and Britt Baker leads Rashad and his longtime friend Carson Sanders to an AEW tryout-and soon, the two former NXT wrestlers find themselves welcomed into a brand-new locker room.

Together, Rashad and Carson revive their old tag team name:

**The Viper Squadron.**

But making it in AEW won't be easy.

With Britt Baker taking the team under her wing, fierce rivalries developing inside the tag division, and veterans questioning whether Rashad has truly earned his place, he will have to prove that he belongs.

And then there's the attention.

Hikaru Shida. Kris Statlander. Willow Nightingale. Britt Baker. Persephone.

Each woman sees something different in Rashad, and what begins as friendly admiration quickly becomes complicated as emotions, jealousy, and backstage tensions collide.

As Viper Squadron fights its way toward the top of AEW, Rashad must learn that surviving professional wrestling isn't only about what happens between the ropes.

It's about **trust. Loyalty. Ambition. Love. Betrayal.**

And sometimes, the hardest fight isn't for a championship.

It's for your heart.
