A/N: Hey peeps, I know I've been away from fanfiction for a long while but I couldn't get around to writing anything but because college is finishing up this semester and I feel the urge to write, I will be making an effort to continue with my stories. I am highly considering writing a sequel to my past story 'A Changed Champion' since so many of you requested it and I'm sure I will get back into the other stories I didn't finish but right now I have a new story that I hope you all enjoy as well.

P.S: Just a side-note on what this new fanfic is about, I love love lovveeee Dean Ambrose and overtime I developed a crush on Baron Corbin so this is basically going to be about these two hot guys fighting over me, being the O/C (Manda) and I had just got signed by the WWE so it will be interesting to see how all these feelings develop with one another and what could become of this. So I hope you all enjoy.

Chapter 1:

September, 2021

Manda's POV:

I had just signed my WWE contract a week ago. Being a WWE superstar was my dream as long as I could remember. Growing up in New York I was a young little girl who didn't fit in with anyone normal. I was the weird one. The odd one out but that never bothered me, That's who I am and how I live. I love sports. Wrestling in particular stood out to me and ever since I was 11 years odd I decided to want to make my dream a reality. I enrolled in wrestling school, worked my way around the Indy's and proved my spot in the Independent wrestling scene. I showcased what I am truly capable of doing. I won championships, battle royals, participated in some of the most brutal matches a woman could be in and I even won an award for being the most outstanding female wrestler in 2018. It was truly one of my most rewarding accomplishments. But you know what was even MORE rewarding is when I got contacted by WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) just two weeks ago. It was 2021 and after all my hard work, those years busting my butt, I was finally acknowledged for what I can do. I felt like passing out that exact same moment. I jumped on a plane and headed down to Orlando, Florida since I was invited to the Performance Center. I met a lot of hard working, passionate young girls and guys like myself there. Most of them wrestled on the Indy's and would share their experiences which made me more proud. I respect those who earned their spot and if you busted your ass doing the Indy scene then you definitely earned my respect right off the bat. There is so much I love about the Performance Center. The look, setup, people…but what I love most was what it represented. 'OPPORTUNITIES'. It was a new beginning, a new chapter and a dream come true for me. I couldn't wait for what awaits before me here in the WWE and I'm willing to go the extra mile to show the entire world why the people back home say I'm the "next big thing".

Monday Night Raw:

It was finally Monday Night Raw and tonight was the night I was making my debut against Paige. I was super excited not just because I was finally debuting on RAW but I'm wrestling the Anti-Diva Paige who I watched growing up. Her and I weren't much different so I hope we would click right off the bat. The moment I entered the arena, I was kindly greeted by some of the wrestlers. Cody Rhodes, Ryback, Sheamus, Emma, Dolph Ziggler, and the New Day who were hilarious and they were making my first night awesome. I reached the women's locker room and so many of the girls looked happy to see me. Paige noticed me and came up to me.

"So you're the new chick huh?!" She asked sounding rather dull and not in the mood chewing her gum but I wasn't thinking anything of it.

I nodded my head, "Yes, it's so great to meet you and share a locker room." I extended my hand to her and she shook it and smiled. I didn't know if she was going to strike me or what. She then popped out saying…

"Well welcome aboard then, Manda is it?"

"Yes that's it" I was trying to not look a bit frightened

Paige smirked "I'm sorry girl, You have to get use to me, I'm pretty insane and all."

I nodded "We aren't much different"

She smiled. A minute later we both stood there completely silent staring at each other. Paige swayed her eyes back and forth as if she didn't know what else to say to me. I guess she forgot about our match or something.

"So you excited for our match tonight?" I reminded her

She looked at me with a confused look … "What match?"

"I was told by Hunter and Steph a few days ago that I was debuting tonight in a match against you."

Paige scratched her head still confused "Um, well I'm sorry sweetheart but that message wasn't relayed to me and according to the lineup for tonight's card I have the night off."

"Oh…okay, well I guess I'll just go see what the deal is with Hunter and Steph. Sorry about that" I said rather embarrassed

She laughed "Don't apologize my gosh, everyone makes mistakes Manda" I tried to smile a bit but I still felt a bit embarrassed. She nudged my arm "Go get it straightened out kiddo, I'll be here." I smiled back at her and left the locker room.

I made my way down the hall in search for Hunter and Steph's office. "Man backstage is like a maze" I mumbled to myself.

What was that?"

…. I froze in place when I heard that voice. I thought I was low enough to where no one heard me but I guess not. I turned around and stood before me was the lone wolf himself, Baron Corbin. Oh did I remember watching this guy. He was fierce, brutal, dangerous, unmerciful just to name a few. To be quite honest he kind of intimidated me a little but around all that was this tall, hot, dark-souled mystery guy who made me want to melt. I'm sure some people would question why I'd be into a guy like Baron Corbin but he did have attractive qualities. He stood there with his arms dangling at his sides, his arms fully exposed to his colorful tattoos and his hair tied in a short ponytail. I responded…

"Oh um, I was just looking for Hunter and Steph's office." I said kinda stumbling on my words.

I could see a slight smirk appear on his face although I couldn't fully look at him since I did have a crush but I managed to look up into his gazing eyes and await his chilling response. I felt like I waited an eternity for him to speak or maybe it was just my head wrapped around him and his compelling body. Right then, he finally spoke.

"It's right on the left at the end of this hall.' He pointed "Would you like me to show you … I'm sorry, what's your name, didn't mean to be rude."

*Wow he was nicer than expected*

"Manda" I quickly replied.

"Is that short for something or a nickname?"

"No, that's my name." Gosh was he hot "I like to be different so yeah, my name's Manda" I said trying not to sound lame.

He crossed his arms "I see… Well, nice to meet you Manda. I'm Baron. Baron Corbin." He introduced as he extended his right hand. I looked at him and smiled and shook it. He smiled back and that instant connection sparked. I felt it. Chills ran down my spine and I'm sure it did the same to him as I noticed the hairs on his arms rising.

I took my hand and pushed the strand of hair that was dangling in from of my eyes behind my ear while looking down. I was acting very shy for some reason. I guess it happens when you have this tall hot mysterious guy standing before you. I was probably pitch red by now.

"Umm, I'm good with getting to the office. Thanks you for your help Mr. Corbin and it was nice meeting you" I said shyly still unable to look at him.

He took a step forward grabbing my attention right before I left. "Please, call my Baron"

I then managed to look up at him and smile "Will do" is all I was able to say. I proceeded down the hall to Hunter and Steph's office.

Baron's POV:

As I watched her walk away, I felt my body tingle. I felt something I haven't felt in a long time. I felt a connection. I don't know what it is, but seeing the look in her eyes just made me want to melt. She has this compelling feature. No matter what I do, I won't be able to get my mind off her.

Manda's POV:

I finally reached Hunter and Steph's office. I approached the door and knocked. I still couldn't get Baron off my mind.

"Come in" I heard what sounded like Stephanie's voice.

I walked in…

"Oh Hi Manda, welcome, please, take a seat and make yourself comfortable" she pointed to the leather couch next to her.

*Hunter was not there*

I sat down and looked around. She smiled, "So how's your night been? You meeting the guys and gals?"

I giggled "Yes, absolutely. Everyone is very nice and welcoming." I said honestly.

Steph nodded in agreement "Great! Well I hope you enjoy the show tonight and learn as much as you can from your fellow workers."

"Oh, so I'm not debuting tonight?" I asked to confirm.

She nodded "Oh you are, but not in a match."

I looked at her confused "Oh okay then what will I be doing?" I asked a bit worried.

She laughed "Relax Hun, Hunter and I just thought you'd be better starting out as a valet. Accompanying a wrestler to the ring."

I released a breath of relief "Oh thank goodness" I thought to myself.

"Well that's great Steph, but who is the wrestler?" I was eager to know.

"I'm so glad you asked…Tonight you'll be accompanying the lunatic fringe DEAN AMBROSE to the ring for his match against League of Nations member, Sheamus."

I froze…Did she just say the lunatic fringe Dean Ambrose?!

Steph flashed her hand in front of my eyes; "Manda, you okay? You look a bit stunned" she said kind of worried. "Is that alright?"

I took a gulp and nodded "Yes, that's good. Thank you for this opportunity Steph. You and Hunter both I really appreciate it." I smiled at her, got up and headed towards the door. I was sweating bullets.

"Oh Manda" Steph stopped me momentarily. "I let Dean know already that he would be having a valet tonight. He's cool with it but he'd like to meet with you to discuss your role and whatnot beforehand so pay from a visit." Steph checked her watch "He should be here by now."

I nodded and smiled "Will do Steph, see you later." I exited her office and pressed my back against the wall. My gosh I'm going to be with Dean Ambrose. *Ahem* I mean being his valet. Ugggh, I was in love with that man growing up. I mean I still am and I had a lot of wrestler crushes but Ambrose, he captured my soul. I was excited yet nervous and although I would love to be wrestling tonight, I find it rewarding to get to work with Dean Ambrose.

I headed back to the women's locker room and Paige came up to me. "So what did they say?"

"Oh Steph was the only one there right now but basically I'm not debuting wrestling tonight but rather being a valet for Dean Ambrose." I told her trying not to sound like a total fan girl but more professional.

Paige stood there looking quite impressed with Hunter and Steph's decision "Well that's a treat. Congrats girl" she said happily.

She was going to leave the locker room but I stopped her quickly before she did "Hey Paige" She stopped and turned to face me. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead" … she waited.

"What can you tell me about Baron Corbin?" I asked not making it seem like him and I had an encounter a little while ago.

She shrugged "Honestly the guy is a total mystery. He doesn't talk to many people. Him and I have exchanged a few words here and there but that was back in NXT mostly. I don't know, he just seems to be like his onscreen character. Kind of strange if you ask me."

I licked my lips and forced a smile "Oh okay well thank you for the insight Paige"

She gave me a thumbs up and walked out. I was very confused with what Paige had said being Baron had run into me and he was super sweet. It definitely was strange but I don't know the guy personally. There may be another side to him that I don't know.

Baron's POV:

I was pacing around in the locker room just thinking about her. 'Manda, Manda, Manda.' Goddamnit! I couldn't get her out of my head. Her image, her voice, her appearance…EVERYTHING just consumed me. I can't pinpoint how or why but I don't know, that connection was powerful. I need to find a way to get to know her more. I need to.

Manda's POV:

I headed to go find Dean's locker room. I was super nervous by this point. I don't think I am going to be able to contain myself but this is a professional work environment so I have to be a professional worker. I'm a WWE wrestler! I finally approached Dean's locker room. It has his name tag and everything. I couldn't believe I was about to enter his locker room. I took a deep breath and knocked.

,,,No one answered..

I knocked again…Hmm, is he here yet? I wondered.

I looked left to right and saw no signs of the lunatic fringe. I was going to knock one last time until I heard what sounded like a man's voice that was very deep and scratchy. It sounded exactly like Dean. I slowly turned around to come face to chest with Dean Ambrose. My heart froze completely as he stood there before me in his 'Ambrose Asylum' T-Shirt and a backwards baseball cap. He slightly smiled watching as I wondered my eyes up and down his hard solid body and blushing uncontrollably.

I looked up at him to see him smirking down at me. "Oh I=I'm sorry I-I thought you were in t-there" I stuttered.

He chucked "I was over in catering grabbing a bite. I get a bit cranky when I'm hungry."

*We have so much in common*

"Oh, okay well Steph told me to stop by to talk about my position tonight." He started swaying his body left to right. "I'm Manda by the way. I'm going to be your valet tonight."

I extended my hand to him and he looked down at it and then back to me and smirked. *Man did I love it when he smirked* He shook it though.

"Nice to meet you Manda, I'm Dean" I wanted to faint. "Please, come in."

He opened the door and welcomed me inside. His locker room was neat and tidy. He was surprisingly clean. I love that. He moved his bag off the couch so I could sit.

"Please, take a seat. I swear I won't bite" he gestured.

*I always loved his charming comedic personality as well*

I walked over to the couch and sat down. He took a seat on the steel chair in front of me. He took off his hat and ran his hands through his messy hair. I bit my lip.

"So how's your night been so far Manda?"

I sighed "Pretty interesting believe it or not"

He looked interested to know more "Do tell"

I giggled "Nothing bad. Just didn't expect everyone to be so nice and sweet."

Dean leaned back in his chair and smiled "Do you expect everyone to be mean?"

"No No of course not but I just didn't know what to expect I guess" I bowed my head.

He leaned forward and captured my attention "Well my darling, I assure you that everyone here is as nice as they come."

*OMG he called me darling*

I blushed "Yeah, you got that right"

He licked his lips…

"So about tonight, just wanted to let you know that all I want you to do is help get the crowd to cheer for me when they aren't. Sometimes they can get a little dead."

I nodded "Sounds like a plan Mr. Ambrose"

"You can call me Dean dear" he quickly corrected "no need for that old school teacher crap"

*My gosh he's killing me here*

"Oh right, Sorry Dean. Well I guess I'll see you a little later on then." I looked down at the ground.

Although I wasn't looking at him I could trace a smile on his face. Knowing the kind of man that Ambrose is, he's definitely a ladies' man and knows he's good with his charm.

"Indeed I will … Indeed, I will" he slowly spoke while tapping his fingers on his thigh which made me want to tackle him but I kept my composure.

I got up and headed towards the door. I heard a noise what sounded like a growl coming from Dean but I wasn't sure. I disregarded it and left.

Dean's POV:

As she left my locker room, I couldn't help but get a whiff of her perfume which smelled so good. I growled softly due to it. I didn't want to show it right then and there but something about that girl was different. She wasn't like the other girls here. She caught my attention really good. You know, I'm eager to find out more and tonight will be a start.
