A/N: It's finally going to happen, this is a story without Trivolt, Cynthia, and EVERYONE Anthony has ever met, aside to one hugger who has managed to avoid his arms for a long time! I am finally going to write what I have called "The tale of two Huggers". Everything backstage is a shoot, and the ring is 'mostly' scripted. Completely different Universe, enjoy!
Chapter 1: An Unforgettable Debut
March 20th, 2013: NXT
"Paige with the RAMPAIGE to Bayley, and that's it." Corey Graves calls over the commentary.
Wait, wait, wait. That is not it, honestly, this is a debut that anyone would want to forget. Sorry Bayley, but THIS is the debut I'm talking about.
August 22nd, 2016: Raw
"Charlotte, the RAW division has signed, the hottest female free agent from NXT!" The crowd pops, sadly already knowing who it is. Mick Foley points back to the stage.
Turn it Up: by CF$O plays, and Bayley makes her way down the ramp.
Yes, on August 22nd, 2016, the main roster got the best female from the NXT roster, the doctor of Hugganomics, Bayley! But, there's someone missing, oh right, ANTHONY DRE!
September 5th, 2016 (Two Weeks Later)
Dare to be Stupid by Weird Al Yankovic, and the audience waits confused, as a man wearing red pants with gems on them comes out similar to Sami Zayn, before break dancing onto the stage. The chorus hits, and he does a foot leap into the air, getting the crowd energized. The crowd starts singing it, and the man is smiling.
"Ladies and gentlemen, from Atlanta Georgia, weighing in at 210 pounds, ANTHONY DRE!" The crowd somewhat cheers him.
"Anthony Dre, the newest member of the RAW roster, being signed a month ago, and is ready to make his in ring debut against Elias Samson, who doesn't look very amused by the situation in the ring." Corey Graves calls.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Anthony circles with Elias, and the two lock up.
Anthony gets taken down very quickly. He's dropped hard to the mat, and the crowd is chanting.
"That was awesome!" In reference to his entrance.
"The crowd still in awe over the entrance he made." Cole says.
"Shut up Michael, I just want Samson to take care of him, and get him out of the ring." Corey says.
Anthony kips up, and quickly drops Samson with a superkick!
"THE DRE-KICK!" Cole calls. "COVER!"
"One… Two… Three!" Ding! Ding! Ding!
"It's over!" Cole calls again.
Dare to Be Stupid plays again, and Anthony starts dancing again.
Ah, it was glorious, but afterwards was where he had a moment he would never forget.
He was moonwalking backstage, and suddenly bumped into someone. He turned around, and saw a familiar purple t-shirt that said "I'm A Hugger", and Anthony blushed.
"Hello there, Bayley." Anthony says, as gentlemen like as he could, considering she was his longtime crush.
"Hi, Anthony, congrats out there, I really like the gimmick, and the song."
"Same, well, to you of course, your theme is great!" The two chuckled, and there was an awkward moment between them.
"Um, do you have a ride for tomorrow's trip?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm riding with Sasha and Charlotte."
"Oh, well, I guess I'll see you in L.A."
"Yep, see you then." She turned and started to leave. Anthony cursed himself.
"Bayley, wait." She turned to him. "Can I um, maybe get a hug from the- " She didn't hesitate, embracing him immediately. He hugged her back.
"See you in L.A" She said, before leaving. Anthony smiled very widely, and turned around, to see his 'Ride Along' partner, the one and only, Sami Zayn with his bags.
"Sami, you ready?" He called.
"Yeah, let's get to L.A. I'm driving."
A/N: Anthony has meet his longtime crush! It's been long overdue, as this was what I initially wanted to do when I started writing like this, and I cannot wait to see where it goes. Lemme know what you think of both the story and the gimmick, cause I may change it. Thank you! Peace!
