This story is set early October of 2015 and I have moved his injury to earlier in the year for this to work. Hope you like it. I do not own any of the WWE names, the only things that I own are my OCs.

Colby Lopes also known as Seth Rollins is the newest Bachelor. He has no idea why but hates the idea. His bosses think that this will be good for WWE and be good for his name, so he accepted after getting a very good deal from both WWE and ABC. Anna is one of the Bachelorettes and has no clue why she is there, as all of this was a drunk joke that her friends did on a night out. What happens when these two meet and actually make the most of this interesting journey.

Colby POV

I get a message from Stephanie McMahon to fly to Connecticut for a meeting. I have no idea why she wants to see me as I have been out with an injury since the middle of August.

I arrive at WWE headquarters and make my way up to the 12th floor and walk up to the reception desk. Sitting behind it is one of the many receptionists. She looks up from her computer as I approach and gasps. "I'm here to see Stephanie." I address.

"Sure." she stutters and picks up the phone and delivers the message. I wait a minute and she hangs up. "Mrs. Levesque is in the meeting room waiting for you. Head down the hall and it's the fourth door on your left."

"Thank you." I thank.

I find the meeting room and knock on the door. "Come in." Steph yells. I open the door and inside is Vince McMahon, Paul (Triple H), Stephanie and some unfamiliar people that I have never seen before. Vince, Steph and Paul rise as I shake their hands. "Thanks for coming in." Steph thanks.

"No worries it wasn't like I was doing anything spectacular."

"How's the knee?" Paul asks.

"Good, nearly four months post op, I've been rehabbing all day everyday and have been given the all clear to get back in the gym, but I can't push myself."

"Good to hear, you look good." Paul compliments.

"Thanks."

"So we called you here because WWE has been given an offer we just can't turn down." Stephanie explains.

"What?"

Stephanie grins. "WWE and ABC are partnering up because ABC want's a WWE Superstar to be the next Bachelor."

My eyes go wide. "You mean that reality dating show?"

"Yes." says one of the gentleman in the room. "I'm Mike Fleis and I am creator and executive producer of the show."

I shake his hand. "Nice to meet you, but what does this have to do with me?"

"Since you are currently single and aren't working, WWE and ABC have asked if you would be the next Bachelor." Mike announces.

I laugh a little. "You're joking?"

The room is silent. "They're serious, they have offered you and WWE a really good deal." Vince responds.

"Why me?"

"You are worth money and you are currently in need of getting your face out their again, and since you can't be in the ring and can't wrestle yet we thought you would be perfect, so we suggested you." Stephanie explains.

"But me the Bachelor, that would ruin me, no offense to the show, but I know what that show's about, and it's not about finding a relationship."

"We get that you're a little put off, but if you hear us out we will offer you a great deal that you can't possibly turn down." Mike adds.

"What?"

"If you become the next Bachelor, you have complete creative control of what you do on the season, the dates you do, how many woman are selected, where you want to travel too, you get to publicize yourself as well as your job as well as a nice pay check."

"Colby, think about this for a second, you will get to advertise, not just Seth Rollins, but your company, you will get to re-establish yourself after the ordeal you had last year." Stephanie convinves.

I groan and look at the room. "You've already made the decision for me haven't you?"

"Not yet, it's your decision, but if you do this, we promise you, we will create the show however you like, we won't use the techniques we use on normal seasons, we will rebuild the show around you." Mike promises.

"Can I have some time to think?"

"We thought you'd might mention that, so we called in some reinforcements." Paul announces and the door opens and in walks Jon (Dean Ambrose), Joe (Roman Reigns) and Renee.

"So Mr. Lopez is going to be the next Bachelor." Jon teases.

I send a glare in his direction. "I haven't said yes."

"That's why we are here; we are here to talk you into it." Renee explains.

"What are you doing here Renee, I love you and all, but you are probably one of the last people I thought would be here?"

She laughs. "They offered me a job on the show."

I stare at her wide eyed. "What?"

"I'm going to be co-hosting with Chris Harrison, and I am also going to be a confidant that you can go to if you need to talk."

"You mean if I decide to do it, you will be there with me?"

"Yes." she responds as they all sit down.

"You're happy for her to do this?" I ask Jon.

He nods. "Yes, she jumped at the opportunity and it also let's you have someone you can ask advice about and feel comfortable with."

"You would help me?"

Renee nods instantly. "All the way."

"Colby, this is a really good opportunity for you, and I know you are still recovering but this will allow you to also recover mentally as well as physically. This will allow you to not just worry about wrestling and coming back which you will, it will help you find someone that you could possibly fall in love with." Stephanie encourages.

"And if it doesn't work?"

"Then you get paid extremely well to make woman fall at your feet and also get to advertise WWE." Vince responds.

"If I do this, you promise I have full control of the show?"

"We promise." Mike promises.

I take a breath. "Fine, I will do it, I hate the idea but it's money that I need right now."

Renee claps in excitement. "This will be good for you Colby, I know you don't like these type of shows, but just try it, you never know what you might get out of it."

Anna POV

"I can't believe we are actually doing this?" I slur as I take a sip from my red cup.

"Come on A this is kind of funny, and besides if you ever get on, you could be on TV." Emma responds chuckling.

"You do it, I know it isn't going to work but for your drunken benefit, make me sound fabulous."

Abby chuckles. "Aww love you're already fabulous, those bitches have got nothing on you."

I laugh nodding in agreement. "Who is the next bachelor anyway?"

"They haven't announced it yet. I think it's going to be someone that isn't connected to The Bachelor franchise." Abby guesses.

"And you could potentially be the first Aussie on the show, which would be awesome." Emma adds.

I think about it for a second. "I would sound horrible."

Abby shakes her head. "Your accents awesome, and think of it like this if you ever get into an argument with one of those fake ass bitches, your Aussie slang would come out and you would sound even more badass."

If you don't know already, I'm Annalise, but my friends and family call me Anna, A or Annalise when I'm in trouble. And as you can see my friends and I went out for the night and we have had one too many drinks.

Once returning back to my condo, we crash on the couch and put the TV on. An add pops up and it's asking for single bachelorette a to apply for the newest season of The Bachelor. As it ends I make a joke saying that I should be the first ever Aussie on the show, and somehow my friends thought it was the best idea I've ever come up with and we are filling out an application. This is ridiculous there is no way in a million years that this would work, but because I'm drunk and I probably won't remember this in the morning I will probably laugh about it down the line.

The next morning I wake up to a serious hangover and find my two best friends passed out on the sofa. Emma and Abby mean the world to me. We met in freshmen year of college where we competed in college gymnastics. I got offered a scholarship at the Univeristy of Florida and took the chance to compete all around the US and I loved every minute of it.

Unfortunately three and a half years ago my days as a college gymnast were over when I had a terrible accident on the uneven bars and I broke my neck. After recovering from my injury, I graduated from Florida University with a Bachelor in Journalism where I now write for the schools website and also assistant coach the girls in the Gators gym.

"Morning sleeping beauties." I greet loudly to my sleeping friends.

They groan as they hear me. "Ouch." Abby hisses.

I chuckle. "I feel your pain girl."

"How much did we drink last night?" Emma asks.

"Too much, we should probably stop drinking so much I mean we are almost 26, we are groan adults."

"Yeah that will never happen." Abby jokes.

"I have to go into work so when you leave can you please lock up?"

"Will do, but why do you have to go in today, today is your day off?" Emma asks.

"The girls are having an extra day of practice this week, which means I have to be there." I explain.

"Have a good day."

I make my way to practice and my head is still throbbing. I say my hello's and make my way to the office where I grab a cup of coffee and go over the schedule for today's session.

I hear someone come in the office and turn around to see Flynn one of the bar coaches. "Hey Flynn." I greet.

"Hey Anna, good night last night?"

I nod laughing. "Yes, but I don't remember much."

"Those are always the best nights." he laughs. "I actually came in to ask you something."

"Ask away."

"We've been working together the past couple years and we get along really well and always have a great time together, I was wondering if you would want to go to dinner with me?" He asks nervously.

My eyes go wide. "Um, that's really sweet of you to ask but I have so much on my plate right now, I don't have time, but how about when I have a free night I will call you and let you know." I suggest. He looks hurt but nods. "I'm sorry, it's just I would be the worst person to date right now." I apologies and exit the room before it get's even more awkward.

After work that day I arrive back at my apartment exhausted. I place my belongings on the kitchen bench and my phone rings. "Hello." I answer.

An unfamiliar voices answers. "Is this Annalise Smith?"

I frown. "Yes it is."

"Fabulous, my name is Robyn Sant and I'm one of the producers for The Bachelor." she introduces herself.

My eyes go wide. "Uh okay."

"We were calling to ask if you would fly down to LA and meet with us?"

I gasp shocked. "Are you serious?"

"Yes, we got your application last night, and to be honest with you, I don't think I have laughed that hard reading an application form." She expresses.

"Wow, um okay, um, shit, I'm sorry it's just I was not expecting this like ever, and to be truthful with you I was drunk when I did the form."

She laughs loudly. "That's even better, you would be perfect for the show."

"Um, can I call you back in a day or so, to think about it, because if I do this I have to make arrangements and so forth?"

"That is perfectly all right, if you choose to come down for a meeting, we can fly you down."

"Are you serious?" I ask.

"Yes, we want to make it as easy as possible."

"I will call you tomorrow, is that okay?"

"Yes, ring me on this number and let me know your decision." She finishes and hangs up.

Once I get off the phone my mind races. Is this like some kind of joke or did that just happen.

I instantly facetime Emma. "Emma." I shout into the phone.

"What?" She asks confused.

"You would never guess who just rang me."

"Who?"

"A producer from The Bachelor rang me and they want to meet with me." I announce.

She squeals. "OMG are you serious?"

"Dead serious I just got off the phone with her, what did you even say in the application I can't remember?"

She laughs. "I don't either."

"They apparently loved it."

"OMG, this is great, you have to meet with them."

"But I have work." I argue.

"Ring up your boss and tell her the situation, just tell her, no one else, she would understand, you work your ass off at that place, you deserve to have this time."

"What if I get there and it's all just some joke?"

"You won't know if you don't try." Emma responds.

I sigh. "Fine, I'll do it."

She squeals. "OMG this is great, my friend is going to be on the bachelor."

"I haven't been selected yet."

She laughs. "Leece, once they get one good look at you they are going to love you, trust me, you are getting on that show."

"I better ring work and tell them I need a few days off."

"Do it, and call that producer back and tell her you will meet with them, oh think of the opportunity this is for you, you get to do something you always thought was a joke, but just maybe you might get something out of it."

"Alright, I got to go, thank you." I thank.

"Don't mention it."

After getting off the phone I call work and inform my boss Rhonda about my situation and what surprised me more than anything was her reaction. She actually squealed when I told her and she is a huge fan and loves the show. After she calmed down she granted me the time off and told me to have fun.

Hi everyone this is my new story, that I actually think is going to be great. I love the Bachelor and I love wrestling so why not mix it. Let me know what you would like to see in the story: what dates should occur, which superstars should appear on the show, arguments etc..

Please review and let me know.
