Chapter 92

The next day, Evelyn and Trevor told their families they were engaged. Trevor's family was there to see him win his first championship just like Evelyn and her family was. Everyone was excited for them. Colby revealed that he had known about the proposal. Trevor had asked Colby's permission to ask Evelyn to marry him. It was a classical thing for a man to do.

Later that night, the real excitement began. Evelyn was so happy as she sat front row with her parents and siblings for NXT TakeOver. She had longed to sit front row and watch Andy win his first championship: The NXT Championship when he had started his training back three years ago. However, Trevor was the next best thing.

Trevor was not second best to Andy for Evelyn. She had loved Andy and still did. He would always have a special place in her heart. Especially when he was her first boyfriend and love. But her few years with Trevor had been just as great as they had been with Andy. She loved Trevor and that would never change. And she couldn't wait to spend the rest of her life with him.

It was a great lineup for NXT TakeOver. All the championships were on the line: the women's, Tag Team, NXT North American Championship, and of course, the NXT Championship.

The show got under way. The commentators did their typical introduction into the show: talking about all the matches and feuds. The camera then went through the crowd and showed Evelyn and family.

"And there's Boston's own WWE Hall of Famer, Sasha Banks!"

Fans cheered. Mercedes grinned as she waved at the camera.

"Plus, there's WWE Hall of Famer and her husband, Seth Rollins."

Colby smiled.

"And they're here with their whole family."

"Of course, they are. Tonight TR Andrews, who was trained by Seth Rollins at his Black and Brave Wrestling Academy in Moline, Illinois since he was fifteen years old, has his chance at the NXT Championship tonight."

"But that's not the only thing. This morning the whole world found out that TR had asked his girlfriend to marry him last night. His new fiancée being his high school friend and girlfriend of nearly three years, Seth Rollins and Sasha Banks's daughter, Evelyn."

Evelyn smiled brightly as the camera was on her. She held up her left hand, showing of the ring.

The commentators turned their attention to what was to be the first match. Evelyn with her family settled in their seats to enjoy the show.

As they watched the show, Aaron paid close attention to every match. He was studying and learning as he enjoyed the show.

When he had moved out to Orlando in June to start his training at NXT, he truly knew what to expect. Trevor taught Aaron everything he knew from training at NXT over the last few years. That was an advantage Aaron had at his try-out match with a few other contenders back in January.

Aaron was not the only one who had made it to NXT. Ashley Devitt had made it herself. Her try-out had been in January as well. And as soon as Aaron was moved out to Orlando and was starting his training, he and Ashley were dating.

Since Evelyn's eighteenth birthday three years ago when they told each other they liked each other and shared their first kiss together, they had been doing an unofficial long-distance relationship. It was mostly talking and everything. But whenever the two saw each other and were able to hang out they had fun. They didn't date anyone else very much in their final three years of high school. The two honestly didn't care about anyone else but each other. Their different group of friends always said it was an infatuation or a childhood crush. Neither Aaron nor Ashley cared. The other had their heart set on the other even having four to five states between them and being in high school. Time and patience pays off.

Time and patience had paid off for both Aaron and Ashley with joining NXT as well.

The main event match came. Evelyn with her family were on their feet the whole time cheering for Trevor and booing his opponent. Derek and Valerie were cheering and screaming non-stop, especially at Trevor's opponent. However, TR Andrews's opponent, Ronny Leach decided to start some trouble.

TR was knocked to the outside of the ring by Ronny. Everyone was on their feet to see what would happen.

Ronny jumped from the ring and to grab his opponent.

"Come on, TR!" Valerie shouted.

"TR! TR! TR!" Derek shouted.

"Shut up!" Ronny said.

"TR! TR! TR! TR!" Derek and Valerie shouted.

"I said shut up!" Ronny said, moving over toward the Lopez family.

The whole family—parents and older siblings—were on their feet, ready to deal with Ronny themselves if he messed with the youngest Lopez children.

"Why are you cheering for him, kids?" Ronny asked. "He's getting his butt kicked."

"He's our future brother-in-law!" Derek said. "That's why!"

"Yeah, he's our brother!" Valerie said.

Ronny smiled. "You know I could be your brother-in-law. Your brother." He turned his attention to Evelyn. "What do you say, Evelyn? How about you and I get busy after I kick your fiancé's ass?!"

Evelyn slapped him hard across the face. That got Ronny turning into the direction of TR. Ronny was nailed with a sudden superkick.

"Yay!" Valerie and Derek cheered.

TR smiled at them and grabbed onto Ronny, throwing him back into the ring.

Evelyn smiled as she watched her fiancé perform his finisher and then make the pin on Ronny. The referee counted and called for the bell.

"Here is your winner and the new, NXT Champion, TR Andrews!"

The arena erupted into applause and cheers. Evelyn was on her feet, clapping. She smiled listening to the crowd. It was insane.

Colby and Mercedes smiled at each other as they were on their feet clapping too. Trevor had had a great match. They were both proud of him.

Backstage after the show, Trevor had an interview. And he did the interview with Evelyn by his side.

"TR, congratulations on your win," The interviewer said.

"Thank you," Trevor replied. He had the title on his left shoulder and his right arm around Evelyn.

"How…"

"…I'm going to stop you right there," Trevor said. "I just want to talk."

The interviewer nodded her head.

"This win, this title was a childhood dream of mine. And there are three people who made this possible for me. That is this woman right here, my fiancé. The second is my fiancée's dad. And the third is my best friend.

"My best friend being Andrew "Andy" Turner. He and I were in a car accident on Halloween night three years ago. We were best friends since high school and we both had the dream to come here to NXT together. It happened. But he was killed in the accident. This win is for you, Andy. We started this together and I'm going to finish it. This title is the first major stop on the road. Rest in peace.

"The next person is Seth Rollins. Seth let Andy and I learn a few basic wrestling moves at Black and Brave back in Moline, Illinois at the age of fifteen with a consent from our parents. But the two of us kept coming and wanting to learn more. So, Seth taught us. Little by little. Then after Andy and I graduated high school we had try-out matches for NXT. We nailed those try-outs and we got here to NXT. Now here I am as the NXT Champion!

"And the third and final person is Evelyn. My Evie Eve!"

Evelyn giggled.

Trevor chuckled.

"Evelyn and I started off as friends in high school. Andy was her boyfriend for four years until he died in our car accident. Evelyn and I grieved together and got close. We then became boyfriend and girlfriend. And have been together ever since.

"But without knowing Andy, I never would have met Evelyn. And without knowing Evelyn I never would have been able to meet her father, Seth Rollins. And without Seth Rollins I wouldn't be here.

"My hard work and dedication got me here. But it was Seth who was my father and teacher the whole way. And here's around here somewhere. Now my fiancée and I are going to go celebrate my win!"

"Thank you, TR and congratulations again," The interviewer said.

Trevor nodded his head. He and Evelyn walked off then.
