Before anything, this is an semi alternate universe, only big change is of course Alexa being Shawn's daughter. I couldn't help it, the similarities are uncanny to me and let's see what I actually go through with this story.

Bio information

Birth name: Alexis Hickenbottom

Born: August 9, 1991 (age 25)

Columbus, Ohio, United States

Family: Shawn Michaels (father)

Triple H (godfather)

Alexa was born in Columbus, Ohio to Shawn Michaels and Anna Collins. Due to her father having an affair with Collins, Michaels requested full custody of his daughter as she would be given up for adoption either way.

Growing up in the wrestling world, Alexa spent most of her early years travelling with her father up until his first retirement in 1998, being home schooled for three years. She was loved by the locker room (even though mostly everyone hated her father), especially by her father's crew, The Kliq.

Alexa took the long route, but it was the right one.

She remember getting the lecture of a lifetime from numerous WWE officials after she declined their initial offer in putting her immediately onto the main roster back in 2013, when the division was heavily suffering. Her ring name would be, of course, Alexa Michaels. The then Divas title would be given to her, yes, literally given to her since she would only have been in the company for a couple of weeks when they planned for AJ Lee to drop the title to her.

It was literally everything she didn't want.

So she accepted an alternative that Triple H offered his goddaughter, a developmental contract with NXT, his baby. That was in 2013.

Three years later, it was finally time to move up the blond diva to the main roster.

Truth be told, Alexa didn't know if she ready to venture out of the comfort of NXT. Despite the developmental brand being popular, she didn't feel as if she was objectified as being her father's shadows. Alexa was moving up on her own terms and the NXT fans could see that. She had been around the wrestling life basically her entire life, making her familiar with the main roster fans. No matter what she did, they would only see her as Shawn Michaels' daughter. That is a good thing that could go terribly wrong after a title reign. Just ask Charlotte.

Her father was the first to call once it was aired that she was drafted to Smackdown Live. It took a couple of calls and ultimately a call from Hunter to convince Shawn not to fly up to the first Smackdown. Sure, Alexa wanted her father to be there, but just thinking of the impression it would give out wasn't one she wanted.

However once she arrived at the arena, she regretted showing up alone. Knowing Hunter would be present backstage calmed down her nerves, but Alexa didn't want to be the little girl she used to be that would cling onto her godfather's leg when her father would be out performing back in the 90's.

Looking around the arena hallways, Alexa tried to search for her only friend in the roster, Carmella. Not wanting to look like a little lost puppy, the blonde continued to walk in route of the girls locker room.

"Alexa!" She knew that voice from anywhere, everybody in the WWE universe did, turning around to see Daniel Bryan coming to her. Meeting Bryan over a decade ago while he trained with her father, Alexa only being 10 years of age at the time. Neither party believed they would be standing where they were today.

"Finally, a face I know." Feeling her nerves radiate off her, Daniel rested one of his arms on her shoulder, squeezing it slightly. "I'm 100% sure you know everyone's face around here and they know yours for good reasons. Your dad didn't join you?"

"Practically begged him not to, you know how he is." Sharing a laugh, Alexa felt a bit better as she dismissed herself from Daniel, making her way to the women's locker room.

Once she arrived in the front door, Alexa took longer to debate how to greet everyone than what it took her to arrive to the arena in the first place.

"Yeah, you're nothing like your old man." Now that voice was vaguely unfamiliar to the small woman, making her raise her eyebrows in confusion as she looked up to face the man. Alexa wanted to slap herself for not recognizing him, he was the damn WWE champion.

"What makes you say that?" Her father had spoken only a handful of times about Dean Ambrose, mainly praising his in ring skills and such. So it struck her for Ambrose to say such words when she didn't know her father in a personal level.

"Your father would have already barged in there and marked his territory, well from what the old locker room stories say." Alexa cringed slightly as she thought about the infamous backstage stories about her father before his first retirement. That certainly wasn't what she wanted people around here to think she would be that way.

"Maybe that's the exact reason why I haven't, plus I never really have interacted with many of them except Carmella." She didn't really understand why the champion, who she never had engaged in a conversation with before, was standing there listening to her. Or why she was willingly telling him why she was so nervous in the first place. Maybe it was because he was a stranger, it's always easier to tell someone you don't know your problems.

"I would've guessed you knew Nattie." Alexa didn't know if Dean had said that as a joke, a poke at the not so fake HBK and Bret Hart feud reincarnating in the shape of Alexa and Nattie. The truth was, he wasn't so far stretched about it either.

Thankfully her father and Bret Hart had finally buried the hatchet a couple years ago, but ever since the news that Shawn Michaels' daughter was following his footsteps, the fans have been eager to pit the women together. Alexa found it amusing, but Nattie, not so much.

"You could say I do, but it's better if we don't cross paths off screen." Finding herself playing with the ends of her hair with her free hand, Ambrose knew she was finding any excuse to not enter that locker room just yet, so he was going to do just so.

"Want to go to catering? They got some killer cupcakes, you know."

He was giving her a reason to avoid her problems for the time being. Sure, she had never been the type to, but Alexa deserved to bend the rules a little once in awhile.

After all, it's perhaps what her father taught her best.

This is so crazy but my brain was yelling me to do so, like I said in the intro. This obviously takes place in July, And another AU thing is that the whole brand extension won't be so strict in this story, so you'll see some appearances from just some RAW superstars, not vice versa because Smackdown is too great to merge with RAW anymore even in an AU lol.

Feedback will be greatly appreciated!
