Note: Wanted to try my hand at a story like this. These people are of my own creation, and I own nothing but those characters. Without further ado, here is the beginning chapters of the new call ups!
00 After Summerslam 00
The landscape of the WWE was always changing. When people left, or retired, new people came in to keep it lively. The Monday after Summerslam was no different, as two NXT superstars were about to make it to the main roster!
The main roster's champions were as followed. Seth Rollins remained strong with the Universal Championship, while Elias finally won his first championship belt since arriving, the Intercontinental Belt, winning it off of Bobby Lashley. The Raw Tag belts belonged to the Revival, while the Raw Women's champion was Becky Lynch, still reigning strong.
Meanwhile, Smackdown had a different lineup. The WWE Champion was Kevin Owens, winning it off of Daniel Bryan after a long Last Man Standing match. The U.S. Champion was none other than Rey Mysterio. The Smackdown Tag Champs were the New Day, unsurprisingly, while Ember Moon had swapped to Smackdown during the Shakeup, and won the Women's Championship on that show.
Meanwhile, the Women's Tag Championships belonged to the Riott Squad, hanging mostly around Liv and Sarah while Ruby competed against Becky for single's gold. And the Money in the Bank holders were Sami Zayn and Asuka.
It was quite a roster of champions, one that was bound to change anytime soon.
00 Raw: minutes before showtime 00
A man well known on NXT was walking around backstage with a woman who was also well known. They didn't know which show they would be staying on, so they had thought they would go between the two shows until management had decided where they would place them. Most likely, they would be split apart so that each show could get new talent, but that suited them just fine.
The man had snow white hair that was also spiky, a black and red zip up jacket used for entrances, and trunks that went to his ankles that were the same color as his jacket. His laced up shoes were also a dim black. He leaned against the wall while he talked to the woman. In NXT, he was a man who used his legs to kick in the most effective ways, like superkicks and enziguris. He was a tweener, one who was neither a good or bad guy.
The woman had long blonde hair, and was built similarly to Liv Morgan body-wise. Most of the cheers she got from NXT were from her butt, and she knew this. She was a great wrestler as well, so she worked it into her matches to play off the appeal. She had white and red leggings that had her name going down her right leg. Her shirt that she wrestled in was of the same color. She sat on a moving crate while she spoke to the man. Her character in NXT was the "mean girl", one you would typically see in a high school movie. She even had the bubble gum to boot, always twirling it around her finger during her promos.
"Getting called up is a dream come true. Which show do you think is better?" the girl asked, kicking her legs as they dangled off the side.
"It's not which one is better, it's the one that suits me the most. I think staying on Raw is within my best interests, personally." The man said, pulling out a pair of fingerless gloves to put on. "What about you, what's your preference?"
"Well, we haven't seen Smackdown yet, so maybe I'll have a decision by tomorrow." She mused, before seeing someone walk toward them. She got off of the crate and stood next to the man as the person walked closer. They realized they were being approached by Triple H.
"So, here are the plans for the night, you two," he began, looking them square in the eye. He turned to the man. "Evan Krain, you will be in a battle royal tonight for the number one contendership for Elias's Intercontinental Championship. We'll come by in a little bit to tell you who we want to win that match to face Elias at . Most likely, you'll be staying here on Raw."
Evan nodded at that, appreciating the match he was given. "Thank you, sir. How many people are in this Royale?" he asked Triple H.
HHH turned to Evan quickly. "Ten people." He then turned to the woman. "Mia White, how does teaming with Alexa Bliss for tonight sound? We're having a tournament for the contendership of the Women's Tag belts, and she needs a partner."
Mia thought about it. "Sure! We have similar personalities, so it'd make sense. When would we fight?"
"Tonight, your match is the first one of the bracket, and you'll be facing Bayley and Sasha. Now, you both get ready for your matches. Mia, I advise finding Alexa before the match to let her know you're her partner. She'll be able to build a surprise promo, and get you a few cheers. Evan, be ready on a moment's notice. You'll be on the first match of the night." he said, before leaving the two newbies alone. He had other matters to tend to.
The two turned to each other, obviously having to do what their boss suggested. "Good luck with Bliss." Evan said, before quickly heading to train by himself.
"Good luck tonight!" she called after him, before turning on her heels and beginning to walk in the other direction. She hoped she'd be able to find Bliss before the show started.
00 Showtime 00
While the show was kicking off with the Raw Tag division, Mia was finally lucky to find Bliss backstage. Mia was roughly an inch taller, but it didn't do much in all honesty. "Hey, I'm the girl from NXT. Trips said something about you needing a partner tonight?"
Alexa turned around and stared Mia down, almost analyzing her. "Oh yeah, you're that girl who did all the high school trash talking. As long as you stay by me, we should get along just fine." she said, beginning to walk while having the newbie follow behind her. "Now, since the best friend duo is going up first, I'll come out and hype up the crowd by making them wonder who my new partner is. Few moments go by, and then you'll come out, sound good?"
"Uh, sure. You'd know more than me, so I'll follow your lead." Mia nodded, spitting out her gum into a nearby trash can.
"Good, now, our match won't be for a little bit, so in the meantime, show me how you are in the ring. I wanna make sure I have a capable partner out there."
Mia took the comment well, and followed her instructions. They went into a nearby locker room to train.

The chapters will be a bit longer than this, I just wanted to get this chapter out as a good introduction to these characters, as well as the universe I'm setting them in. I will try and focus on as much of the shows as I can, like the matches outside of the main characters. Evan and Mia will have their matches in the next chapter, and for the future chapters, I'll have to skip the first Smackdown episode until I can move Mia to the blue brand. We should be able to see Smackdown by Chapter 3 or 4. Hope you enjoyed!
