A/N- A story about Roman Reigns and his quest to make it to the the top of the WWE...but what happens when a slightly older woman makes an appearence in his life at the wrong time? I only owe the names of my characters and stories, others are owned by WWE.

Chapter 1

Roman Reigns...what can you say about the guy? He has what it takes to make it to the top. To beat John Cena for the top babyface company. Of course, one of his best friends, Dean Ambrose, is not to far behind him. His other best friend, Seth Rollins, decided to join the so called Authority by turning his back on them on RAW. He had to admit, even he didn't see that coming. But never the less, he was proud of the three of them for coming so far from development, to the NXT, and now the the main roster of the WWE. It was almost as if it was a dream that he didn't want to ever wake up from. But in truth, he was a scared shitless of how well it has all come about. But he knows not to overthink it as it can always be taken away. For now, he just wants to enjoy the ride that they are on and see where it goes. Right now, he has a match against the undefeated Rusev tonight and he needed to keep his head in the game. This was Smackdown and knew the fans needed to see the fearless Roman Reigns make his appearance down the fans. As scary as that is at times, he loved going through the crowds. Seeing the kids, especially, made him realize just how much pride he has in the business. Despite of him being related to half the people in the business, he knew that he had a lot to prove to people that he wasn't just the other second and third generation wrestlers. Don't get it wrong, they worked hard, but nowadays, its almost impossible to achieve dreams when you have expectations to live up too. He knew he couldn't let them or the top management down.

"Hey Roman!" yelled Seth backstage. Even though they were on opposite sides on TV, behind the scenes, they were still the best of friends.

"Yeah Seth? What's up?" he asked while taping up his wrists and hand to get ready.

"Me and Dean are gonna head to the hotel rooms after the show to relax, do you want to join us in watching movies and eating pizza?"

"Sure thing...I could use a relaxing night for a change. Being on the road for the last month with no days off is finally getting to my body and I'm tired of the club scenes night after night."

Seth chuckles at the comment, knowing full well that he felt the same thing. Sometimes, its just nice to actually just have a quiet night in. They don't get to hang around each other a lot to keep the storyline going. So for Roman to take the chance to relax with them is nice. He needed to be around his best friends.

"Awesome! I will let Dean know before we leave so that he knows that you aren't still pissed at me!" knowing full well what that meant.

"I wasn't pissed at you Seth, just wish me and him knew that you were going to defect to the Authority is all. I didn't like being kept in the dark about it and I know that Dean was more irate than I was. It took me three days to calm his ass down. Hell, even sex with the women at the bars weren't cutting it for him and you know how he is!" finishing up the taping so he can put his glove on for the Superman Punch move that is suppose to happen tonight.

"I know and I am sorry. Triple H wanted to keep it a secret for the shock value. If you both knew, then the part wouldn't have played out the way it did. You both needed to kept from so the fans can see that you two didn't know what was coming. I will be honest with you. I didn't like keeping it from the both of you, but it was part of the job that I can to fullfill. I hope that we can move pass this and make this a great rilvary on TV. I am looking forward to see this where this goes and I hope that the three of us succeeds beyond our dreams. I am happy that you are getting the push that you deserve, hell, that the three of us deserves." in his most sincere voice.

Roman looks at Seth and studies him. He hated that he was kept in the dark, but he knew there was a reason he was. But it was one of his closest friends and he was happy that he was happy. He puts up his fist for a fist bump and it was joined by Seth.

"I will see you later on tonight. Tell Dean to not be an asshole during the movies...and please, no damn Rocky movies! So sick of that crap!" he laughs to help ease Seth's mind.

"I will! And thanks bud..for being understanding"

"Yeah yeah yeah...get out of here!" trying to be serious.

Seth nods as he turns and heads out of the locker room. Roman was ready to head to the top of the fans area where security was in place. He says on final prayer before heading out the door.

She was walking back to her seat when she walked right into someone that nearly knocked her down. He grabs her and holds her up. "Are you okay Miss?"

She looks up and sees the most intensive grey eyes she has ever seen...nodding yes, "I'm sorry for that", as he gently lets her go and heads to where he was going. She knew who he was and almost melted at the sound of his voice.
