Hello, this is my first go around as a writer on FanFiction. I would really appreciate feedback and advice. This story begins a week after Wrestlemania, when the new talents usually get brought up. I only own Troy. This will be in third person, at least for the present time. Enjoy!


Chapter 1- New Opportunity

Troy's POV

Well, hello there. My name is Troy Thomas and I have had an amazing couple of months on Smackdown. I wouldn't change anything about it. Well… maybe a few things. You might be confused, so let me explain it from the beginning.

A few months ago…

I was sitting in the trainer's room at the Florida Championship Wrestling arena, after having another great match with Dean Ambrose. It was a week after Wrestlemania, and rumor was that I impressed some of the higher-ups. I was getting some ice for my neck, when the EVP of Talent Relations John Lauranitis came in and said in his dry voice, "Hello, Troy. My name is John Lauranitis, and I am the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations. I have been watching your matches over the past few months and I, along with the board of directors would like to call you up to the main roster."

I damn near pissed myself. After being signed two years ago, I was in shock that I was finally getting my shot at the big time. It was my dream, becoming reality. Unfortunately, I couldn't express my thoughts into words, so I was stuttering and drooling in front of my soon-to-be boss. Johnny said, "I'll take that as a yes. You will debut on this week's Smackdown. We'll see you on Tuesday."

As soon as he left, I screamed, "YES! YES! YES!" at the top of my lungs. I was ecstatic. My dream was going to come true in a couple of days. I ran to tell my friend, Derrick Bateman, the good news. I've known the guy since we were met on our first days at FCW, and we've been friends ever since. The lucky bastard has already been on Smackdown and season four of NXT. Now, he's been back and forth between FCW and the never-ending season five of NXT.

I bolted into his locker room and yelled, "I HAVE SEMI-MINDBLOWING NEWS THAT WILL HAVE LITTLE TO NO EFFECT ON YOU BUT COULD CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER!" Derrick stood up and told me, "That's wonderful. What is it?" "I just got called up! I'm headed to Smackdown this week!" He stood up and we hugged it out like the bros we are and he congratulated me.

"Hey, you gonna try and get back with you-know-who?" Derrick asked me in a teasing way. I knew exactly who you-know-who was, and it wasn't Lord Voldemort. It was my best friend, AJ Lee. Derrick knew that I had a crush on her since the day we met, but I made him swear on his hair that he would never tell a soul unless I told him to. "No, no, no, we are friends, and I don't want to screw that up. And she's with Daniel Bryan. Besides, I haven't seen her since she left for Smackdown full time, so now we can catch up. It can be just like old times." I had no idea how wrong I would be.


OK, I know it was short for a first chapter, but I promise that it will get better. Thanks for reading! Rate and Review!
