June 29th, 2019 - Daytona Beach, FL
Tonight was none other than AEW Fyter Fest and it was going to be held live in the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. It's been a crazy, crazy ride since All In. All In was the event that got the wheels turning. September 1st, 2018 would be a day that no wrestling fan would ever forget. All In was the beginning of a revolution in the business. It was a spark. A spark that would ignite a flame that would give the wrestling industry just the shock that it needed. That spark would ignite the flame that would change everything. That spark led to January 1st, 2019, the day that All Elite Wrestling was founded. And since that day AEW had managed to take the industry over by storm. And Fyter Fest was gonna be another even that would keep the momentum going.
And to keep their momentum going AEW was always looking to add to their roster and this time they picked up on a hidden gem. Or rather a hidden diamond in this business in the form of a young 22 year old.
A black 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman T pulled up to the Ocean Center. The car was just his style. Flashy, expensive but at the same time, powerful, unpredictable. In a way, his character was a bit the same. He parked his car in one of the parking spots that was available to and turned his car off before stepping out of the vehicle. He was tall, standing at 6'4 which was uncommon for someone coming from his family. His grandfather was a wrestler and he stood at 6'0. His father was also a wrestler and he stood at 5'10. His father was one of the greatest NWA United States Heavyweight Champions in the history of the NWA and was a founding member in the Four Horsemen. And he had a bit of rivalry with the man that would be the stepfather of his children, Magnum T.A. That man was Tully Blanchard. And his son, Tommy Blanchard was a wrestler who was getting ready to make his debut in the newly formed AEW.
Tommy Blanchard was a Caucasian male with tanned skin with short black hair that were faded on the side and back with spiky hair up top. He had green eyes just like his sister, the famous Tessa Blanchard. He was wearing custom tailored black slacks with a black Hermes belt with a black buckle with a grey button-up with the first two buttons unbuttoned and his sleeves rolled up. He had a gold Rolex on his right wrist. He had gold shades on his face with black lens to finish off his look. He smiled as he looked around the arena. To say he was excited was an understatement. Tommy had signed an exclusive deal with AEW earlier in the month.
Before he was in AEW, Tommy had wrestled in ROH, NJPW and NWA. He had moderate success so far in his career but being at a young age, it kinda hindered him as no one wanted to push such a young man. He was lucky enough to win the NWA National Heavyweight Championship just like his father and he was the youngest to ever do it as well as the youngest to win the ROH World Television Title which he did. He didn't really do much over in Japan but he did meet Kenny Omega and Cody Rhodes which was probably the reason he had gotten a chance to be in AEW so damn quick.
Tommy walked through the back entrance of the arena and was surprised that he didn't get stopped. Maybe Cody had told the guard just who Tommy was. Tommy was well on his way to Tony Khan's office to discuss the creative vision for him going forward in AEW.
"Hey Tommy, it's been a while man." Tommy heard making him stop in his tracks and smile as he turned around seeing a man who did become a friend to him in the business, Kenny Omega.
"Kenny." Tommy said as he walked towards his friend and gave him a hug as the two men chuckled.
"Man, you look you've been in the gym."
"Well, yeah. Lately I've been gaining a bit. You're looking at 246 Pounds of Raw, Jaw-Dropping Athleticism."
"I hope so/ And hopefully you've been working on your moves too, I wanna see that technical side from you. I know you have it in you."
"You'll just have to wait and see." Tommy said with a smirk.
"I'm glad we finally got you here. As one of the Executive Vice Presidents of AEW, I have to say welcome to AEW and hopefully you like it here. As a friend and a competitor, I have to say I hope you're ready to compete 'cause it's gonna be tough."
"Well, I sure hope so. I don't want a easy path to the top."
"Alright, there's the Tommy I know and love, the arrogant prick." Kenny said patting Tommy on the back making him chuckle as the two began to walk to Tony Khan's office.
(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)
Tommy walked into Tony Khan's office with a purpose excited to hear the plans the creative team had for him going forward in the company.
"Well, if isn't 'God's Greatest Gift to Professional Wrestling'." Tony said as Tommy entered the room making Tommy smile. That was his nickname that he used and it kinda fit in with his character.
"I'm glad to be Mr. Khan."
"Please call me Tony."
"Alright Tony."
"Well just to let you know I'm glad you're here. And I've got some plans for you. Big, big plans."
"Alright. I'm guessing I should expect to be an intricate part of your system."
"Yeah, you should and it's not often that guys get storylines right out the gate here so take this as a sign that we believe in you and that we expect a lot from you."
"So tonight, how do I debut?"
"Well, that's actually adding to your storyline. And it's gonna go like this…" Tony said as he began to describe the events regarding the debut of Tommy Blanchard. And it was safe to say that Tommy enjoyed hearing every minute of it.

Fyter Fest
The AEW Fans were still reeling as they had just witnessed the classic put on by Cody and Darby Allin who wrestled to a time-limit draw tonight. The two had given it their all and went all the way to the bell.
Cody was on a knee and looked at Darby Allin nodding at him as a sign of respect while the fans cheered. Cody stayed there on his knee trying to regain his stamina. Or try to get enough energy to the point where he could reach a vertical base on his feet. Cody very groggily reached his feet and looked around the arena before he was instantly taken down by Tommy Blanchard who ran into the ring and took him down with a Jumping Cutter that he liked to call Nightfall. The fans had a mixed reaction of both cheering and booing as Tommy just debuted in AEW.
Tommy looked around at the fans with a smirk on his face before he turned his attention down to Cody. He looked up at the ceiling with his eyes closed and a smirk on his face as he raised his arms on the side as if he were doing the Rainmaker pose. He turned his head and looked at Brandi Rhodes with a smirk before he walked out of the ring still looking at the damage he had just done.
A/N: Well this is my first attempt at doing an AEW Career Story. I've done several WWE Attempts with Destiny being my first successful one. I've tried my hand at a few TNA Career Stories and now I'm trying AEW. I just really started watching AEW so that might come in to play here. And remember this is an AU so things will be different than how they are in real life. But this is my character Tommy Blanchard, son of Tully Blanchard and grandson of Joe Blanchard, so that makes him a 3rd Generation Wrestler just like his older sister Tessa. The only thing as far as his character that has been revealed is that he's an arrogant, selfish prick. More will be revealed about his character as we go into the story and for the pairing of this story, I'm thinking of waiting till Anna Jay enters the company or finding someone else. Let me know what you guys think of that idea with a review.
Later Guys and Gals!
