Author's Note:
Hey guys! I am a huge Wrestling/Walking Dead fan so I decided to write a fanfiction involving both of them! The story will have WWE Superstars as characters, but some of the main storyline plots will follow TWD; such as having a character wake up from a coma and look for his family. The minor story lines will be original. It is summer so hopefully updates will be somewhat quick! I hope you all enjoy! Don't forget to review, especially if you enjoy the story! It inspires me to complete the next chapter faster. I also have previous stories on here that I never got around to finishing so if you could check those out too and suggest which ones you think I should finish that would be helpful too! On to the story loves xx

*3 Months Ago*
Randy's POV
As I looked up at the ceiling all I could see were the lights that were gone from my vision just as fast as they appeared. I was unable to manage the strength to turn my head, but what I could see from my peripheral vision was all a blur. I could faintly make out the voices of the medics surrounding, what I concluded, was my gurney and from the words of their conversation that I caught, it wasn't looking good. The last thing I remember before blacking out was standing on top of a ladder preparing to deliver a massive RKO during the Money In The Bank Ladder Match. One moment the crowd is in on their feet cheering as I hold Evan Bourne in my hands and in the next I'm looking up at him and the crowd is silent. There is one voice that stands out among the rest and it is his. It is blocking out the remaining voices so I know he is next to me. I can not fully understand what he is saying to me but I can make out enough of his words to know he is crying and apologizing profusely. Poor kid must blame himself. I feel his touch on my hand as he grips it tight so I know I have not broken my back or neck, which are good signs. The last thing I see before I completely black out again is his face looking down on me.
*Present Day*
3rd Person
"Evan! Evan! Dude I know you hear me. Stop!" Jay spoke between his gasps of breath. He had to have been chasing the younger man down the hallway for at least 15 minutes. I'm getting too old for this, he thought as the younger man before him finally slowed his pace to a fast walk before stopping a few feet ahead of his elder. Evan didn't turn around however, and this frustrated the veteran superstar. "Stop blaming yourself kid. It's not your fault." This caught Evan's attention because he finally turned around to face Jay, and his facial expression was not the usual smile the small cruiserweight highflier often wore.
"I appreciate you looking out for me Jay, but it is my fault. Randy is in a coma because I botched our spot in a highly dangerous match." Evan avoided making eye contact by dropping his gaze down to his boots. The guilt he felt inside was weighing heavily on him for the past 3 months and he had to do something to remove it; he chose to quit. He was actually on his way to his locker room to pack up all his belongings when Jay began chasing him down.
"Evan, look at me. I've been in this business a long time. A long enough time to understand accidents happen. Randy slipped and fell off of the ladder before he was fully prepared to deliver the RKO." Jay was not trying to seem like he was blaming Randy for the accident either but he needed to do something to ease the boy's pain. He was talented and Jay knew he had a bright future ahead of him if he stayed positive. He did not want to witness someone of his caliber throw it all away. "You have been to see Randy every chance you get time off, more than any other superstar. I know Randy, and I know he appreciates it. He respects you."
This did some to ease his guilt, but it wasn't enough to make him change his decision. He didn't think anything ever would be. He mustered up enough strength to provide the veteran with a small smile before replying with a soft "Thanks" and turning his back to finish the mission he set out to do. Jay thought to call out to him again, but decided against it before heading back to his own locker room and pulling out his cellphone as he did so. WWE was in Cameron, North Carolina tonight and he knew just the two brothers who could clear his mind. The eldest Hardy picked up after three rings.
"Jay!" Matt screamed from his end of the phone causing Jay to wince as he was forced to push the phone away from his ear. Either his hearing was getting bad with old age, or Hardy was excited to hear from him. He hoped it was the latter. He could hear Jeff shout from the background about still being owed $10 and Jay let out a laugh. "What's up man?" Jay explained to the elder Hardy his situation and how he just needed some old friends to keep his mind off things. The Hardys were more than happy to oblige and they had planned to meet him at the arena after the show. After saying their goodbyes Jay finally made his way to his locker room to prepare for his match.

Nikki hated that she and her sister had to stay late today to have another pointless meeting with Vince about the direction of their characters. What direction? He won't listen to their input anyway and next week they will once again just be used as eye candy for the viewers. She wanted to wrestle. She was so entranced in her own thoughts that she hadn't realized that she had fallen behind her sister or that she was on the phone. She jogged to catch up to her and began to ask who she was talking to when Brie held out her finger signaling her to shush. Rude.
"It's Maryse. Mike is growing anxious. He says if we don't hurry they're leaving without us and we can never carpool with them again."
"Fuck off Mike," Nikki said loud enough so Mike could hear her from the other end. "We're almost there." With that, she stole the phone from her sister's hand and hit the 'end call' button.
"You know, you shouldn't antagonize him. He's our best friends's fiancée and our way to the hotel." Nikki just waved her sister off and speed off to reach the parking garage. When she arrived Mike and Maryse were standing by the car and when Mike spotted them he muttered something along the lines of "About time" and made his way to the driver seat. Maryse waited to greet her friends before joining her fiancée up front in the passenger seat. Mike popped the trunk and the brunette beauties loaded their suitcases into the trunk of the car when they heard a noise not too far off in the distance.
"I will run you over," Mike stated matter of factly as the Bellas stood froze behind the car. He rolled his eyes in annoyance when they remain unmoved and turned off the engine, getting out of the car. "What is.."
"Shhh!" The Bellas hissed at him in unison earning them another eye roll from the most must see superstar. "Didn't you hear that?" Brie whispered in a fearful tone. Mike raised his eyebrow at the speaking Bella before the lights cut off in the parking garage they were currently occupying. He signaled with his head for the twins to join his fiancée in the car.
"Hand me a flashlight and lock the doors. Do not open them for anyone but me." The Bellas obliged and handed him the flashlight from the back seat.
"Be safe," the beautiful blonde whispered to her husband before he gave her a curt nod and headed off into the darkness.
…...
Evan stood outside of Randy's hospital room unable to bring himself to step inside. He heard voices coming from inside the room, and assuming it was his wife and daughter, did not want to intrude. What would he say to them? Sorry I did this to your husband and father but I'm sorry? No. That would not cut it. He didn't want to face them so he turned to leave when he was stopped by the voice a young girl who couldn't have been more than six. "Are you a friend of my father's mister?" Evan turned to face the young girl who looked up at him with red eyes. At one time, the girl was crying, but had recently stopped.
Evan slowly began nodding his head. "Alanna right?" He replied pointing down at the young girl. "Your daddy talks about you all the time." Her eyes light up at this and she grabs the high fliers hand pulling him into the hospital room behind her. The older woman, who Evan assumed was Randy's ex-wife Sam, gave him a small smile before calling over her daughter and scolding her about talking to strangers. To say he felt awkward was an understatement. "You look exhausted. Would you like some coffee?" The brunette gave him a soft smile before nodding her answer.
"Samantha," she replied offering her hand and confirming his hunch.
"Evan Bourne," he replied taking her hand into his and firmly shaking it. To his surprise, she suggested that Alanna go along with him claiming the young girl needed to roam. It wasn't good for a child her age to be stuck inside a hospital room all day. He wanted to object but the child slide her hand into his and started pulling him toward the cafeteria.
"My daddy's going to be okay," The child said looking into Evan's eyes. He noticed that her eyes have too much worry and sadness in them for being so young. "He will wake up." As she spoke those words, her eyes had a little glimmer in them which caused Evan to smile.
"He's a fighter," Evan responded before placing his order for two coffees and a chocolate milk, which they never did receive. As they were waiting an alarm went off inside the hospital and a voice came over the loudspeaker warning people to evacuate. He gripped hard onto Alanna's shoulders so he wouldn't lose her in the crowd of shoving people all trying to escape at once.
"My mommy and daddy!" The girl screamed with tears filling her eyes. "We have to get them!" Without even hesitating, Evan picked the child up and cradled her in his arms running the opposite way of all the other inhabitants, racing to reach the child's parents. When he reached the door he noticed that it was shut and a person was lurking outside of it. He gently put the child down and commanded her to stay behind him, which she did. He couldn't walk very fast because the child was grabbing onto his leg but he didn't mind. When he reached the person they turned around to face him and Evan gasped. No. This can't be? What?! He didn't have time to think as he told Alanna to cover her eyes and grabbed the nearest object which happened to be a fire extinguisher, and smashed in the creatures head. He tried to open the door to no avail so he placed Alanna onto a table before busting it down with his powerful kick.
"Samantha! We have to go!" He shouted to the woman who was refusing to let go off her ex-husband's hand. "Now!" The woman looked up at him as she reluctantly loosened her grip allowing Evan to take advantage of the situation and pull her out of the door. "I will shut and blockade the door," he said hoping it would make the woman feel safer and better about leaving him. She responded with a barely visible nod so Evan went to work. After doing all he thought he could he picked Alanna back up and grabbed Sam's hand, leading the Orton family through the hospital. If he couldn't save Randy from falling off that ladder he would make damn sure he saved his family.
