Another day gone by as I relaxed onto my couch to enjoy the quiet time that is the beginning of my next 3 days off. I'm Cheyenne Mcmahon lead backstage talent at WWE Smackdown. Now when you get into the wrestling business you realize how hard the job really is. The hours are long, the talent depending on how they are can either love you or hate your guts. That and your almost always on the road traveling. So a 3 days off is a godsend in my life and I was going to take every moment of it in. That was until my phone rang.
"Hello." I said
"Hi cheyenne I got a question for you." The voice said.
That voice was my father Vince who is head of the wwe and my boss first and foremost.
"Ok dad what do you need." I replied.
"Well you know our December pay per view Armageddon is coming up alot and we got alot of big things that are going to launch from that show so what I would like is you to start working as the head of the backstage talent at Raw." Vince said.
I was mixed emotions about the whole statement just said. Raw is the flagship show all the big talent is there and its live television which is a big difference from Smackdown which is taped and much more controlled. So just in case something goes wrong we got more than enough time to fix it. I wouldnt have that on Raw which made me a bit nervous.
"I'd love to work at Raw dad but seriously do you think I can do this I've only been doing this for a year." I said
"Honestly I think you can do it and do it as well as anyone else. You step up to any chanllenge and you wont stop until you've met your goal so yes I think you have what it takes but do you think you have what it takes." He said.
"Ok then I'll do it when do you need me?" I asked. I knew that I could do it you just need someone to agree sometimes.
"You'll start the night after Armageddon which is 2 weeks away. Allthough I need you at Raw next monday so you can meet the crew and they can meet you since you'll be in charge." Vince said.
"Sounds great so I guess I see you monday then." I said
"Yeah I got your ticket for next week so go to the airport as soon as possible to pick it up." Vince advised.
"Gotta see you monday dad bye." I said hanging up.
After that I turned my cell phone off just so I could enjoy the rest of my night. Just me and myself.
The next day I woke up and made a quick drive to the airport to pick up my plane ticket for Raw in 2 weeks while confirming my flight for tonights Smackdown taping. Then I packed up my travel bag and then remembered what was my friend Jenn going to do all by herself at Smackdown.
"Your leaving me you bitch!" Jenn yelled.
Now I know she might take it hard but good god I didnt think she'd take it this hard.
"Yeah I start in 2 weeks but I decided tonight is my last night so you can get used to being in charge before anything big happens. How did you find out anyway?" I asked shielding myself just in case she starting swinging.
"Vince called me this morning telling me that I'm now going to be in charge. Its nice knowing that I get a say in this." She said.
"Dude your fine you'll be ok you finally get to boss everyone around." I said.
"I got no problem bossing people around but I'll admit this I'm not you dude." She said really worried about this change.
"Dude I know you cant be me thats impossible but its just like normal I just wont be here." I said walking off to work my last show. During the whole show Jenn never left my side I dont know if its because she wanted to make sure she got everything and wont let everyone down. Or it could of been because we wouldnt hang out as much since the traveling is going be constant at Raw since its the A show. We've been friends since kids and I dont think we've ever been this far apart. It sucks but opportunity works and I love my job and I'll do anything to advance to a higher level. About a hour and a half later my last show was done and me, Jenn, Undertaker, and Edge were at the usual spot after the show, the hotel bar. It was slient most of the time and it kinda pissed me off. I'm sure everyone knew what was going to happen. Finally taker spoke up.
"Dont let anyone push you around there." He said.
"Yeah that and watch out for Hunter you know as soon as he sees you hes going to be gunning for you." Edge said. Hunter who is better known as Triple H is my brother in law. Hes a complete asshole and scum of the earth. Even though hes married to my sister Stephanie he still looks down at me.
"I know I'm ready for him." I said taking a swallow of my drink.
"Stick with Shawn I'm sure he wont let anything bad happen." Jenn said.
"True and why do you sound happy now that I'm leaving?" I asked
"Well it could be this drink and the fact that you got to deal with hunter and I dont!" She said laughing.
"You asshole I figured you'd get off on my problems." I said.
"Of course seeing the shit you'll have to deal with makes my shit not look so bad which makes me feel better." Jenn proudly said.
"Fuck you." I laughed as I said goodbye to my crew and went to my room.
