The new love birds managed to get a small van to shuttle them from show to show. Tonight was the night that Roman had been waiting for, the opportunity get back in front of the crowd and do what he loves most. Roman had been out of action for months and many had been speculating for days now on his return. the crowd was buzzing anticipating his arrival. Roman looked over at Draya and thought to himself how lucky he was to have her back at his side. Yes, she was still very injured but at least she could see some old friends to boost her spirits. He could tell that she was missing being backstage just as much as he missed performing. He took her hand in his and brushed the back of it with his thumb lovingly before kissing it.

"Babe, I know you want to get back to the job you love. I want you to get back to it too. We will get you through this and you are not alone. I got you, you got my family, and an entire locker room cheering you on. We are going to get you back to your dream babe, believe that." Roman stated as he pulled his shades on. Draya looked over as she teared up slightly, she quickly blinked the tears away while processing the magnitude of his words. "Ro, I still have on this outfit. I can't go in the arena looking like this. I love your outfit choice but I have to clean it up a bit. I'll put it back on after we get back." She said with a light hearted smile. She wanted to laugh harder but didn't want to hurt his feelings, she was literally drowning in his clothes. Roman chuckled as he realized what she was saying. "Well, it makes for a good disguise to throw the fans off. Nah, I understand what you mean. Come on, I'll help you. I don't want my baby out here hurting if I can help it." Roman said as he pulled into the arena. He drove as close as he could to where the superstars hung out. He was super early for the event so no fans were around. He cut the engine off and quickly went around to the other side before Draya could touch the door handle. "You focus on you, I'll take care of everything else. Just take my hand and I'll help you down." Roman said with sincere concern. Draya reached out and took his hand, "Babe, can you please change my shoes? Ill wear the baggy clothes but the flamingoes can stay between us?" She said as she looked up, trying to disguise her laughter.

Roman looked up into her beautiful eyes. "Are you making fun of my fashion sense? I was focusing on your comfort babe. Okay, hold on right here. I have something you can slide into." Roman looks through the bags and found some leggings with some small pink nike slides. "Is this better?" He said as he held the items up for her to see. "Yeah, thats good babe. I just have to get changed. We can do that inside. I hope its close by." Draya looked around to see if there was anyone coming. She carefully climbed down as she felt pain rush through her body. She moaned quietly as she bit down on her lip. She slowly walked next to Roman, using the van to lean on for support. She looked over as he grabbed his gear. "I don't think I'll be ring side sweetheart. I think the best I can do is backstage. I'm still feeling pain. I'm sorry. I'll stay with Naomi, she's always here with Jimmy. I'll call her. I'll be okay with her. I'll watch your match from the back. You'll do great." She said as she looked up and leaned forward slightly for a quick kiss. Roman stopped in his tracks as he looked down and saw the pain in her eyes. "Okay, you're right. You are still pretty banged up. I'll help you get to her and hang out a bit before the match." He kissed her carefully, not wanting to her to hurt.

The couple walked to the backstage area and was heading to the women's locker room. The crew looked up and waved casually as they saw them walk in together. Naomi looked away from the conversation that she was having and did a double take before cutting the conversation short. "DRAYA!!!! Baby girl!!!! You're here? What are you doing here so soon? How are you feeling? Roman, have you been taking care of her? Heard you were coming back tonight, congrats! You have been missed so much!" She said as she went in for the warm embrace. "I've been doing my best. I didn't want to leave her alone in a hotel. I think this would help boost her spirits a little. I got the call while we were headed to a hotel. She just got released not long ago." He answered before quickly looking back at Draya to see if she was still feeling okay. "Yeah, I'm here. I couldn't stay in a hotel and miss his big night. Im still beat up. I have the braces on for a little while longer. They just took off the neck brace, I get a break from that for a few hours and I'm loving it. Still painful, but I'm doing good. I'm doing really good." Draya said with a confident smile. " I can't wait to watch y'all kick some ass tonight. I miss being here so much."

The producer walks up to Roman, "Hey Big Man! Glad to have you here tonight, glad to see you too Draya! We are happy to see you in good spirits. Do you mind if I steal him away for a moment?" Draya replied, "Yeah, go ahead. I'll be back here if you need me. I'm just gonna go with Naomi and get settled in. I'll be okay. " Her attempt to soothe Roman's worry worked and allowed him to focus on work. He stole a quick kiss before watching her walk away with naomi. The producer began to divulge the plan for Roman's return, "so we have a thought and wanted to run it by you first. How comfortable do you feel talking about everything that has happened with your injury, Miz involving Lisa in the mix, and everything that has happened. "I can talk about it. I don't want much of my relationship with Draya in the forefront. I'll mention it briefly but I prefer to keep it private. She has been through enough and I don't want to bring any more harm her way. I'll let her know and give y'all a heads up before I go out." Roman said as he thought back over of everything leading up to this point.

Roman messaged Draya:

R:Just making sure that you are doing okay, where did you guys go? I need to talk to you about what they wanted me to cut a promo about.

D: Women's Locker Room, Jimmy and Jey are here with Naomi. It's okay for you to come by if you want.

Roman walked over the women's locker room to find Draya with The Usos and Naomi. He knocks as he hears the laughter from the outside. Jimmy opens the door and sees Roman, "UCE! Bruh, why you keep a secret this good from us?! I'm telling Aunt Pat you out here keeping us in the dark. We couldn't get a phone call, a text, a billboard? You aint tell us nothing. I thought we were a family?" Roman looked over at Jimmy and laughed hysterically. "Man, if you don't stop. I just found out today, literally after I was about to head to a hotel. Not even a few hours ago. Chill fam." Roman said as he dabbed up his cousins. Roman made his way to Draya's side as she blushed. "Hey, is everything okay,"he asked as he saw the redness in her face. "Yeah, I'm okay. What did you need to talk to me about?" She asked as she looked up at him while holding her back slightly. " Well, they want me to talk about the injury, The Miz, us, and the Lisa situation. I just wanted to run it by you before you saw it." Draya's face took on a more serious look. She frowned instantly hearing the bitch's name who nearly killed her. Her face turned a brighter red as her eyes watered. "It's okay to talk about it. I just hate even thinking about what she did. I'm not upset with you. I knew it would come up eventually. I don't mind. Is that all they asked you about?" Draya asked knowing that producers may leave out some important details, much like the last time that Roman was on the active roster. Roman looked over at her as he took her hand in his. "That's all that they told me. That's all that I am going to allow." He said quietly, he knew that Draya would be pissed if anything else transpired. Roman knew the risks for what he was doing tonight and wanted to make sure that he had her full support.

Later that night, the time had finally come. Roman walked down to the backstage area and waited behind the curtain. The roar of the crowd fueled his excitement as he heard the announcer began to speak. "This is a young man that has the talent and charisma to take this company very far one day. The last time we saw him was several months ago and many things has changed since then. However, he is back stronger and better than ever before. Welcome back, Roman Reigns!" Roman burst through the curtain unable to contain himself. He stared out into the crowd as he soaked in the love. He bounced around as he roared, "I'M BACK! I CANT BE STOPPED!" He walked stoically down the ramp and entered through the ropes. He shook them with excitement as he took a mic. "ROMAN REIGNS IS BACK BABY! The knee is healed and I'm feeling great but I do have some things to get off my chest. First, I would like to say thank you for the output of love and support. You guys kept me motivated but there is also one person that kept pushed me to get back here no matter what. Thank you so much, you know who you are." Roman said with a wink just as the camera zoomed in on him.

Draya watched on proudly from the women's locker room. Naomi looked over as she cause Draya's face glow with admiration. "Hey, you helped that man get back to that ring! Look at your man out there shouting you out and what not." Naomi teased as she got up to walk towards the door. Jimmy and Jey had left earlier to get a ready for their segment later in the show. "Hey, I'm gonna go to catering and get some food. You want anything? I can bring something back for you," Naomi offered as she grabbed the door knob. " Yeah, that's fine! Thank you." Draya said shyly as she beamed watching Roman's promo.

"Last you guys saw of me, The Miz has destroyed my knee and I was on the mend but on top of that, he dug up the skeleton in my closet. A skeleton I wish had stayed buried but what can you do at that point? What crossed the line is that The Miz endangered the life of my current girlfriend and that is not by any means okay. Wrestling is my job, you guys don't know everything about me and somethings I would like to keep that way. There was no reason to drag my personal life into this. I prefer to keep the two separate and you just couldn't be satisfied with that Miz? You had to break down the walls I had placed around it just for cheap heat. You endangered lives just so you can eliminate the competition? No matter how many times you try to take me out, I'm getting back up every time and I will be stronger each time. This little game you're playing just got a lot more personal. Stay out of my business , Miz. I guarantee if harm comes to anyone in my personal life again, it will be the last thing you do. Beli-," Roman said as he was cut off.

The Miz's music filled the arena as the self proclaimed "A-lister" came out with a microphone in hand. "Wow, Roman! Bravo! Making your triumphant return to the ring and playing knight in shining armor to your little trainer trash, ring rat. Bravo! I'm truly impressed. I heard about the little accident that she had. It's a shame they haven't found the culprit. It's not like she wasn't going around stealing another woman's boyfriend and reaping the benefits of another woman's investment. I guess karma will always strike back at the perfect opportunity." The Miz said with a sadistic smirk. He held the mic close before pausing to look into the crowd as the crowd voiced its opinion in the form of Boos.

Roman stood in the ring as his blood boiled inside. His face brightened to a reddish hue as the anger continued to build. He pushed his hair back as his brows lowered. "If you had ANYTHING to do with what happened, I will rip you limb from limb as I beat you unmercifully." He snarled as he tossed the mic to the side.

"Listen carefully you overhyped meathead, you aren't going to do anything. You know why? You think that I don't know what happens back stage? You think anything can happen around here that I don't happen to find out about? Be careful who you leave back stage. I didn't think you'd be that stupid. If I could figure it out, someone else just might figure it out too?" He said as he removed the shades and looked down the ramp at Roman. Roman looked on as he focused on his words. Roman left the ring and took off down the ramp towards The Miz.

"Uh uh, security!! Come out here and do what I hired you to do! Get your asses out here and protect the most valuable asset to this company! The revenue I generate for this company pays your salary! Keep him back!" The Miz instructed as the security formed a wall between him and Roman. Roman looked on pacing back and forth. He glared at The Miz knowing this situation wasn't going to end well. "You see I did a little digging tonight and I know that a certain someone is backstage in the locker room. She's already going through so much, I would hate to see anything else happen to her. She has the neck injury and then the back injury. Let's think about how much another injury would set her back from getting back on the road with her wrestler boyfriend, Roman." He said with a devious smirk. "Think about her safety Roman before you do anything. She's all alone and with a phone call I can change that. I think Lisa would love to pay her a visit." The Miz teased before pulling out his phone and with a large grin. Roman looked on angrily as he paced back and forth.

"Oh, is The Big Dog mad? Awww, did I hurt your feelings by threatening her? Are you upset? I suggest you channel that anger in another way or I call Lisa and tell her Draya's exact location. I promise you I would do it. I'll do whatever it takes to keep from seeing your face in this company again." Roman snapped and charged through the security men. He started throwing punches before more came out and tried to contain him. They managed to get his arms behind him while he still tried to claw his way to Miz.

"Do your damn job, you want a shot at me? That's just too damn bad. You have to get in line just like everyone else. This is MY SHOW and I make the rules. While you were gone, I climbed to the mountain top and claimed my rightful place as champion in this division. I'm seconds away from that call from the suits and getting called up to the Main Roster where I belong. NOTHING WILL STOP THAT! Not even you!" He warns as he stares down Roman. Roman struggles to break free from the security. He frees an arm and goes continues to fight off the security guards. The Miz sees this and makes a call. An image of backstage appears on the monitor and shows a woman in dark clothes heading towards the locker room.

"ROMAN, RO! Look up here baby, it's me!" The familiar voice exclaimed. Roman looked up slowly as he realized who it was. Roman watched the monitor in disbelief. He shook his head no as he broke away from the security team and headed back stage. A grim silence fell over the crowd as Roman continued to run towards the locker room. Lisa continues, "you thought that this was over? You thought that you could leave me alone and everything go back to normal? Do you forget who I am? I made you the Roman Reigns that everyone sees today! I sacrificed myself so you could reach stardom and this is what I get? You replace me with a trainer? That's an insult to my hard work to make you stronger and get rid of all those feelings that you had. I broke your heart to make you a ruthless competitor and teach you true pain. I wanted you to know that pain so you know how to inflict the same on your opponents. You took that for granted and now? Now, I can teach you a new lesson at the expense of this little weak bitch. This is the bitch that has your attention. This is the kryptonite."

Draya watched the promo and knew she would have to be prepared for what was about to transpire. She got up as quickly as she could and searched the room for a weapon. She grabbed a led pipe and turned the lights down as she hid by the door. She waited as she heard a knock on the door.

"Aww, Draya! I just wanted to talk! I'm not here to hurt you boo. You've been through enough." Lisa said as she banged on the door. Draya knew she needed to protect herself and scanned the room for a weapon as quickly as she could. She turned off the lights before hiding as she heard the banging. Lisa kicked the door open and looked shouted into the room. "DRAYA?! Come on out, I just want to talk. That's all. I didn't think you'd still be upset. I'm sorry about the condo though. I didn't do the brakes though. I don't know who that could have been," Lisa laughed maniacally as she finished the words. "Come on, stop hiding!" She said as she tried to find a switch. Draya took a chance and started swinging as she caught a glimpse of Lisa with the light filtering into the room from the hallway. As the rage built up, Draya kept swinging. The referees heard the commotion and came into the room. They turned on the lights as the crowd watched on the edge of their seats to see what was happening. Draya pinned down the psychopath as she savagely struck her. Lisa tried to shield herself from the strikes.

Roman made it to the room and saw what was happening. He looked down and saw the emotion pouring from Draya. He ran to her as the referees tried to separate the two women. "DON'T touch me! Don't touch me!" She said sternly as tears streamed her face. The pain was excruciating but the small bit of revenge was worth it. She dropped the pipe at her side before sliding back. Roman slowly approached Draya and helped her to her feet. "I'm so sorry, I didn't want you to get hurt. They're making me look so stupid and clueless. None of this was discussed. Miz is doing this to make our lives a living hell and I'm sick of it. This is going too far." He said as he escorted Draya to the trainer's room. Draya leaned on Roman for support as she felt very weak and the pain continued to build.

The camera panned back to Lisa. The bruising and welts showed under the light. She laid motionless as her eyes fluttered. The referees called for assistance as she began to stir. She wiped the blood off her mouth as she sat up and held her ribs. The Miz came in to check on his business associate, "YOU HAD ONE JOB!" He exclaimed as she lowered her eyes and glared at him. "You finish him. I'll take care of her, this isn't the end. It won't ever end until I have what I want!" She said coldly.

Wrestlers are entitled to have a personal life at some point, right? Why is it that the matters they want to keep separate always seems to spill over? Roman vehemently fought to keep the two things separate just to have WWE screw him over again. First, he gets injured and what was to be his grand return is ruined by even more important details being left out. Will they be able to put this behind them? Draya's safety had been at risk once more due to Lisa and Miz's underhanded tactics. What will it take to rid them of her for good?
