I was enjoying Wrestlemania Week in New York. I always enjoy the sights and sounds of the city. Sometimes...
But I took Sinzu to my former home in Brooklyn. I looked at the old home where I grew up.
"This is where I go to when I'm in New York. It reminds me of my past as a child. I didn't have the best childhood here. Other kids teased me and pick fights.
"I was glad that I moved from here. But then, I became the people I hated, bullying people, making fun for who they are...
"I can't run from my past. But I can change for a better future, teaching others about my mistakes and help them change."
Sinzu: Russell...I'm very proud of you. You are a great man. I was dealing with similar things like you as a child. But we changed our lives for the better and look at us now.
She was right. I did change my life. But sometimes I think I'm the same asshole as always.
I look at my old home, getting ready to drive off. Still to this day, I never forget where I come from.

I was in the crowd at NXT Takeover: New York. Sinzu's match again Kairi Sane was great and the fans loved her Takeover debut.
After a very awesome show, we went to the after party. I got a lime margarita and walked to the door going to the balcony.
Unfortunately, two people I didn't want to bump into was there. Raij and Brick.
Raij: Well, look who's sneaking out of the party? The man, Rahzel.
"Hello, Raijn. Hello, Corey."
Brick shaved his hair and look even more muscular since he's been out rehabbing his injured knee.
Raij: Rumor is that the higher ups are high on you. Aren't you great?
I rolled eyes at his sarcastic remark. Him of all people believing a rumor.
"It must great if you believe that. Raijn, I want you to know this. You can believe what people tell you or what you hear. But never believe everything you hear.
"What happened when you were injured? You adapted yourself, changed yourself. Granted, you came back and became a pussy ass champion. But you fulfilled your goal on becoming WWE Champion. Even before me.
"Don't you see that? No, the hatred for me blinds you. So whatever to me, I could be champion or I could be fired, don't you ever come up to me about some dumbass rumor.
"See you tomorrow, Raijn. Goodnight, Corey."
I walked off and enter the balcony. I don't care for rumors. All I care about is continuing writing my story about my career.

Wrestlemania
Renee: Congratulations to Ember Moon on winning The 2nd Annual Wrestlemania Women's Battle Royal. She will be in The Triple Theat Match for The Smackdown Women's Championship.
With five minutes left before the start of Wrestlemania, the match to kickoff the show is The Unsanction Match between two former friends. Raij and Rahzel goes to war.
Booker, King, Peter, David, who comes out of this the victor?
Booker: Rahzel did the unthinkable last Tuesday. He DDT his mother. Raij tonight is going to snap. Rahzel is going to feel the wrath of The Golden Boy tonight. I got Raij.
King: Booker, Rahzel has been waiting, savoring the time he can finally get his hands on Raij. The Big Bad Wolf gave him a chance to save his mother and he didn't.
A Unsanction Match means no rules. This is Rahzel's kind of torture. He will win this match.
Rosenberg: Like King said, this is Rahzel's Playplace. He can punish Raij how he wants, the referee can't tell him to stop. Zell went through to get back to Wrestlemania and he's going to enjoy inflicting pain.
But I will give Raij advice. If there's a dark side in you, it needs to come out in this match. If not, you're in trouble.
Otunga: I think Rahzel will erupt something in Raij. This is a must win for The Golden Boy. He is the underdog in this match. He has to win.
Renee: Alright gentlemen, we're have a few seconds till the big show. Thank you to Hall of Famers Booker T and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Peter Rosenberg and Sam Roberts, I'm Renee Young, enjoy Wrestlemania.

I looked at the promo for the show as I prepare for the match. I hear the pyro go off and the crowd cheered on.
Rahzel 24: I was back at Wrestlemania. First time in New York, my former home state. I wasn't planning for here with a loss.
Raij was shaking the nervousness out of him as he was getting ready to go out to the millions of people.
Raij 24: All week, people called me a underdog. I was going out there to prove to them that I wasn't the underdog. I wasn't the victim in this match. Rahzel is.
I look at the footage of Metlife Stadium filled with fans. A sight I missed last year.
Rahzel 24: I have one job to do. Teach Raij a lesson. For every action, there's a reaction. He's on his high horse for too long. I was going to bring him down to Earth.
Raji 24: I was the man when Rahzel couldn't be. I got to be WWE Champion before him or Brick. I was going to stand tall over him.
Raij Rahzel 24: I wasn't going to lose to him.
