Tear the stars out from the sky, Darkness falls I come alive…

Paige's theme blared as I made my way back up the ram and towards the back round area. I looked over my shoulder before disappearing for good. I saw Paige skipping around the ring in celebrating with the NXT woman's championship belt in her hands.

305 days. 305 days I held that title in my procession, but I knew being scripted to loose the title meant I was moving on to bigger and better things.

Guess I should explain who I am. Now where to start.

My name is Gemma Cassidy, I'm 28 years old and I'm currently signed to NXT under the ring name, Rogue. I was born in Co. Donegal, Ireland and I was the first Irish born diva in the WWE. But at the age of 15 my entire family made the move to US, since my father was offered a new position with the company he had worked for years. This move made Cincinnati Ohio my new home. Even before leaving Ireland, I had been bitten by the WWE bug. I spent most of pre-teen years glued to the TV from Monday night Raw and Friday night Smackdown. I had decided pretty early in my teens that my dream was to make it to the WWE.

After finished high school I took my training from 50% to 100%. For years, I spent countless nights in the gym honing my craft and my days where spent earning money to pay for it all. Finally they all paid off, my trainer at the time managed to get me booked in a few local shows and it all took off from there. For years I made my way from city to city, state-to-state wrestling in any house shows I could get myself booked for. I was un-signed, a free agent. But in 2007 I had been picked up by ROH (Ring of Honor).

Signing with ROH was one of best and worse decisions of my career and life. But I'll explain all that at another time. Trust me, I'll need a lot more time to talk about that.

Enough dwelling on the past and let's talk about the present. I had just lost the NXT women's championship to Paige, ending my reign but it wasn't all bad, I came out of it as the longest running champion since it was introduced which is something I can add to resume.

I made my way back to the women's locker room, causally being greeted by my fellow NXT divas and superstars and some wished me hard luck for losing the belt but as I said it was scripted. When I had first been told that I was going to loose the title I knew the writers and creative team had big plans for me and rumours and whispers began to surface that I was probably going to be moved up the main WWE roster. Of course that is the goal for anyone working in pro wrestling entertainment, but for me I was happy in NXT. It has settled me in Florida, and since I was on road for almost 5 years it was good to have a place I could call my own. But that's not the only reason I'm hesitant of leaving NXT, moving up meant I would have to see a certain someone. Someone I don't want to have anything to do with. But at the same time it meant reconnecting with my old friends from ROH days.

I grabbed my duffle bag from the locker and got anything I needed from it before making my way to the shower area to clean up after my match.

I was just drying my hair when there was a quite knock on the door.

"Gemma?" a voice spoke

I turned my head to see Triple H standing in the doorway.

"Hey Paul" I smiled as I pulled my hair in a sleek ponytail.

Even though I have been working with Triple H for the past two years, but I can't help but feel intimidated around him. For years I had admired his work and dedication within the WWE. One of the first matches I had witnessed was a match between Triple H and Shawn Michael's and that match had kick-started my love for wrestling. Over the past two years I had worked pretty close with Triple H, he personally asked me to join NXT and since then he's been orchestrating the push for my career here.

"Can we talk for a minute?" he politely asked as closed the locker room door
"Of course we can Paul, I'm in no hurry anywhere tonight"

I knew what was happening, I had a feeling his would come about tonight.

"First off, every single time your in the ring you remind me why I scouted you in the first place. Your hard work and dedication is unrivalled and the rookie divas look up to you because of guidance to them."

He reached into his suit jacket and pulled out a brown envelope.

"Inside this envelope is something I've been wanting to offer you for quite a while but the timing seems right now" he smiled gently as he handed me the envelope

"Gemma, of behalf of WWE and the McMahon family I would like offer you a four year contract with WWE"

I couldn't help but smile, even though I knew I would have to have some people from my past but this was the start of my career and I couldn't turn it down. I'd be crazy to; I would have to suck it up.

"Paul, you don't know what this means to me" my smile widened
"There's still some little things to iron out with story lines, but creatively we want to keep you the same, since the NXT fans love to hate you" he couldn't help but chuckled at the last part.

NXT fans knew me as a heel but some reason the fans loved to hate me. I entered the company as a babyface and stayed that way for over a year. When fellow Irishwoman Becky Lynch joined the company in 2013, the story line was written that I had taken her under my wing and guided her through the ways of NXT but this soon took a turn. My heel turn came about when I turned on her after she won the number one contender match for woman's championship. And since then I had been heel, weaselling my way through the ranks to grab the title.

"As for a shot of the divas title, that will come later down the line we have other plans for you. We intend on giving you a push in a couple of months but for now we're going to try and get a reaction out of the WWE universe" Paul explained

"It's all basically explained in the contract"

I quickly glanced over the first page of the contract-trying take all this in.

"We'll give you a few days to read over and think about it. So take that time. Myself and Stephanie will meet with you in a more formal setting next week and explain our plans in full to you" Paul grinned

Next week, but next week was Wrestlemania week, one of the busiest weeks in the WWE calendar.

"Next week? That's mania week" I asked raising my eyebrow at him
"That's the other part, we want to fly you out to New Orleans. Experience it all and debut you at the divas event at Wrestlemania"
"D-D-D-Debut at Wrestlemania?" I choked, almost dropping the contract in the process.
"This shows how much confidence we have in you" once again Paul was grinning, but this time he watched at his watch,
"As I said before, take some time read over it. We'll be in contact about meeting before Wrestlemania," he said, as got up from the space beside me

He gave me a firm handshake and turned to leave the room. As he opened the door, he looked over his shoulder.

"Oh before I forget, you'll receive your story line details in a few days. They will be sent to your apartment and also keep your debut at mania to yourself we want to surprise the universe."

I just simply nodded in agreement as Triple H left the room. My heart started to flutter and my legs became weak, I needed to sit down.

The main roster. This was what I have been working towards since I began my training over 10 years ago. But it also meant facing him as much as had avoided him over the past 5 years. It wasn't hard not to see his face everywhere, all around NXT there were poster and pictures of past champions and legends, and of course he was up there. He was the first NXT champion, and now he was taking the WWE by storm as the Architect of the Shield.

He had hurt me too much, so much that I had erased him from my past I had nothing left of him but when I had joined NXT I couldn't escape the thought of him. But by the sounds of it I would be seeing him next week and to be honest, it frightened me.

So guys this is the start of this and I'm actually excited to start this :). My last fan fiction was 4 years ago and that was All Time Low related so this is my first venture into the WWE. Also a little note, I am dyslexic so some things may be spelt wrong and things may not make sense, just giving readers a heads up about this .So please give feedback because feedback is what helps me write :D
So enjoy everyone :D
