Chapter 36

Mercedes smiled as she stood with all the female superstars from Raw and SmackDown near the entrance ramp. It was go time for the Women's Royal Rumble.

"All right, ladies, hands in," Becky shouted.

Mercedes chuckled as she and all the female superstars formed a circle and put their hands in.

"Here's to the first Women's Royal Rumble Battle Royal."

"On three," Ashley said. "One…two…three."

"The Women's First Royal Rumble Battle Royal!" Everyone shouted.

Pam stood right beside Mercedes. Pam was the number one superstar for the battle royal.

"Congratulations on being the first in the ring, Pammy," Mercedes said.

"Thanks, love," Pam replied, hugging her best friend.

Mercedes smiled.

Pam made her way up the stairs leading onto the entrance ramp. Bayley's music began to play and the fans went crazy.

There was a monitor nearby so everyone could watch before it was time for the next superstar to make her way to the ring for the match. The Women's Royal Rumble was the same as the Men's. A new superstar would enter every two minutes.

After Bayley was in the ring and ready. The very second entry, made her entrance to the ring. It was Peyton Royce.

"Cassie says Bayley gets to stand up for her best friend, Sasha Banks to Peyton Royce for being a bitch about everything," Jessica (Billie Kay) commented to Mercedes.

Mercedes chuckled.

The match got ready way with Bayley and Peyton locking up.

Mercedes smiled the whole time as the next superstar made her way to the ring every two minutes. She was the very last superstar to enter.

"You're going to do great, Mercedes!"She told herself.

"You're up, Mercedes."

Mercedes nodded her head. She walked up the steps. Her music played and the fans roared at it. Mercedes smiled. She walked through the curtain and onto the entrance ramp.

Colby smiled as she watched his fiancée make her entrance.

Sasha Banks was not in her full getup. She just had her glasses, her necklace, and rings on.

Sasha smiled. She took all her accessories off and took off down toward the ring. What superstars were left in the ring attacked her as soon as she was in the ring.

From the crowd in the front row, Angela, Vicky, and Emily cheered for their friend. Judith smiled and cheered for her daughter like she always did. In another spot front row, Holly and Bob cheered for their future daughter-in-law.

It came down to the final two superstars: Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss. The two faced each other.

"Let's do this," Lexi said.

Mercedes nodded. The two went at it.

Backstage, everyone watched from any one of the monitors that showed the ring.

Colby watched the monitor from when Mercedes would come backstage.

Sasha threw Alexa over the top rope. The referee saw Alexa's feet hit the floor.

"Alexa Bliss had been eliminated. Which makes Sasha Banks the first ever Women's Royal Rumble winner!"

The fans screamed.

A referee quickly got into the ring and raised her arm in victory.

After a mini celebration, Mercedes made her way backstage. Everyone was clapping for her. She was crying. She hugged pretty much everyone.

Colby smiled as he waited.

Mercedes smiled as she slowly walked. She caught sight of Colby. She quickly went over to him.

Colby continued to smile as he wrapped his arms, around her, hugging her. There was a camera crew nearby. They were recording the two for the WWE 24.

"I'm proud of you," Colby said, pulling back from their hug.

"Thank you," Mercedes said.

Colby then leaned in, kissing her passionately.

Later that night, Mercedes herself watched her fiancé in the Royal Rumble. She had Pam, Becky, and Ashley sitting with her.

The clock counting down for the fifteenth entry into the Rumble began. The clock buzzed and Finn Balor's music hit.

"Yay," Becky said, straightening up in her seat.

Mercedes smiled.

The clock counting down to the twenty-fifth entry began.

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1," The fans counted down. The counter buzzed at zero.

Seth Rollins's hit.

Mercedes grinned as her fiancé walked out from behind the curtain. He stood on the ramp, quickly removing his T-shirt and taking off toward the ring.

"Yummy," Mercedes said seeing Colby's well sculpted body. Her friends laughed.

The rest of the entries from twenty-six to thirty made their way to the ring within the next ten minutes. Everyone was eliminated, except the last two: Seth Rollins and Samoa Joe.

"I love seeing these two in the ring," Mercedes commented.

"Oh, yes," Pam agreed.

Seth and Joe battled for a few minutes before Joe was eliminated.

"Samoa Joe has been eliminated. And your winner of the 2018 Royal Rumble is Seth Rollins!"

The crowd cheered as Seth's music hit.

Mercedes smiled, quickly getting up from her seat. She wanted to celebrate her fiancé win with him in the ring.

Seth smiled as he stood in the middle of the ring. Sasha Banks's music hit.

Seth smiled as his fiancée appeared on the ramp. She quickly jogged to the ring. She quickly climbed inside once near it.

Seth quickly grabbed onto her, hugging her and lifting her off her feet.

Mercedes giggled.

Colby placed her back on her feet. The two pulled away, looking each other.

"Congratulations, baby," Mercedes smiled.

"Thank you," Colby said.

Mercedes leaned forward and kissed him passionately.

Angela, Vicky, and Emily cheered from their spot with Judith, loving their friend kissing her fiancé.

Mercedes pulled back, smiling at Colby. Colby smiled back. Mercedes grabbed onto his arm and raised it in the air.

Colby moved toward the ring the post. He climbed up and pointed toward the WrestleMania sign. Mercedes held her arms in the air, pointing toward her fiancé.

Colby got down from the ring post. He climbed out of the ring and went over to his parents, hugging both of them.

Mercedes and Colby walked back to the back, hand in hand a few minutes later.

"Sorry, guys, no hugs, please," Colby said. "I appreciate the support, though."

Everyone laughed. Colby just shook hands with everyone. Colby then turned his attention to Mercedes. He quickly lifted her off her feet. Mercedes giggled as she wrapped her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs around his waist.

"Is this how we're going to be later tonight?" Mercedes asked. "But with me on my back, you on top and my legs around your waist?"

"Yes. But also, you on top a time or two," Colby replied with a smirk.

Mercedes grinned, leaning in to give him a quick kiss. "What would I do without you?" She asked.

"Be very bored in life."

"More than likely yes. But life is just great!"

"Sure is, babe. Sure is."

Mercedes again kissed him.
