Chapter 95

"I want to become a wrestler too," Katianna confessed to her parents one night. She wasn't sure what she had wanted to do after she graduated high school. But she had her heart set on wrestling at her older brother had.

"I figured," Colby said.

"Me too," Mercedes said.

"What gave it away?" Katianna asked.

"You suddenly wanted to be training at Black and Brave a lot in the last few months," Colby said. "Plus, you were having a lot of fun with Ashley during Thanksgiving when she was teaching you a little."

"Yes, to all!"

"We fully support you, sweetheart," Mercedes said.

"Yeah," Colby added. "We have said to you and siblings we support you in no matter whatever you wanted to do. We have said we will make sure you get the right training and education you need to be whatever you want. You want to give wrestling a try, go for it, baby doll."

"We have also seen the way you watch the videos of your brother and Ashley. You are learning and want to learn. It's the passion."

"It's genetic," Katianna said.

"I'd say so," Mercedes answered.

"There isn't anything wrong with that," Colby said. "I'll work with you, honey. And we'll get you a tryout "

"Thanks, Daddy," Katianna said. She gave him a hug and kiss.

"Anything for my girls."

"I have also talked to Ashley non-stop."

"Well, you're going to be a WWE Superstar, sweetheart," Mercedes said.

"Banks on it!" Colby exclaimed.

"Believe that!"

Katianna giggled.

Katianna had her plan for after high school. She wanted to be a wrestler like her parents had before her and as her older brother was pursuing himself. However, she still had a whole semester left of high school before she graduated and would be pursuing that path. Nothing was going to stop her, though.

And nothing did, because she went to Black and Brave every day after school to work with her dad and her uncles of Black and Brave. She worked in the ring with all the current trainees of the current class. She also studied videos of her family in the ring. She especially watched videos of Charlotte Flair, Aunt Ashley. Her favorite aunt of the Four Horsewomen. Neither Becky nor Pam took offense to it.

It was Aunt Ashley who had taught her everything she knew and did for volleyball. Katianna had played volleyball all four years of high school. She had even been offered a scholarship to a few colleges. However, her dream was wrestling. But being an athlete already was going to help her a bit.

April 2, 2039 – NXT TakeOver

Mercedes smiled as she and Colby sat in the crowd yet again with Evelyn, Katianna, Mariah, Valerie, and Derek. Aaron was backstage. He had been performing at houseshows since January. The same with Ashley. But tonight, Arick Rollins would be making his debut at TakeOver.

It was the main event. TR Andrews was defending his NXT Championship. There was a mixed reaction from the fans as the match was taking place.

"Come on, TR!" Valerie shouted from her spot.

"TR! TR! TR!" Derek cheered.

Trevor was in a hold, trying to escape, but it wasn't working.

Valerie and Derek both started clapping. They clapped trying to get the crowd going with them to give Trevor motivation to fight harder to break free from the hold he was currently in.

Evelyn smiled. She began clapping too. Her parents and sisters clapped along with her. That got the crowd going.

Trevor slowly hit his opponent, getting him to the break hold, which he did after a few blows. Trevor was free and began battling his opponent again.

"That a boy," Colby said as he watched his future son-in-law. "That's great!"

Mercedes smiled. "Come on, TR!"

The match continued and things started to get a little more physical. It was going to get brutal.

TR Andrews and his opponent, Maverick Jax had been having a non-stop awful feud since January. The match was a No Disqualification. Jax was a very brutal opponent. He had that brutal attitude like Kevin Owens. He would do whatever it took to get what he wanted. And Jax wanted that championship.

Jax had control of the match and was getting more physical with TR. Valerie and Derek both knew what would be happening. They said they could handle it. However, Mariah and Katianna told them if need be they would take their younger brother and sister away so they didn't see how brutal it would get.

Jax had grabbed a chair and was beating the hell out of TR with it. This was where the physicality was slowly coming from. However, Jax had an idea.

Jax smiled. He decided to take the steel chair and place it around TR's neck.

"What's Jax doing?" A commentator said.

"I don't want to know!" Another replied.

Jax continued to smile. He pulled TR to the corner of the ring.

Jax wanted to take a page out of Kane's book back in 2004. Kane had placed a steel chair around Shawn Michaels's neck. He then jumped from the ropes onto the chair where it folded up and the chair squeezed into Shawn's throat and he began to spit up blood.

Someone suddenly came running to the ring. That was Aaron's entrance.

"Who is this?"

"Its Arick Rollins!"

Jax saw Arick Rollins coming right to the ring. He had a steel chair in his hands. Arick quickly nailed him with it. He nailed chair shot after chair shot to Jax. That got Jax down. While this happened, TR was able to pull the chair from around his neck. He then laid in the ring.

Jax was on his knees and Arick nailed him with a right knee. A right knee that Seth Rollins liked to use himself back in the day. Jax needed one more hit with something. Arick nailed him with a Curb Stomp.

"Yeah!" Colby exclaimed. "Yeah!"

Jax was down. He laid in the ring. TR was slowly regaining himself.

"Come on," Arick said to TR. TR crawled over to Jax and pinned him.

"1…2…3," The referee counted.

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

Fans cheered.

Arick helped TR to his feet. The referee came over to them with the championship belt. Arick took it and handed it to his future brother-in-law. TR took it, smiling. Arick grabbed onto his arm and lifted it up.

Evelyn, her parents, and her siblings were on their feet cheering and clapping. Colby and Mercedes smiled at each other. Aaron had done a great job.

When Aaron and Trevor came backstage, Ashley was right there waiting for her boyfriend. Aaron smiled as soon as he saw her. She was quickly in his arms, hugging and kissing him. It was like Mercedes and Colby or like Becky and Fergal back in the day after matches or special moments in their wrestling careers once they were together.

"You're next, baby," Aaron said.

"I am," Ashley replied. "I'm excited."

"It was very fun."

"You did it, though. You made it."

"And you're next."

"Yes, yes, I am," Ashley said.

Aaron smiled. He kissed her passionately.

"Little brother," Evelyn said.

Aaron ignored his older sister.

Evelyn chuckled. She walked over to her fiancé. "Great job, baby," She said.

"Thanks," Trevor said, hugging her.

Mercedes and Colby were not too far behind their older daughter with that of their other four children. Aaron and Ashley were still kissing.

"Just like me coming to see you after your matches," Mercedes commented.

"Yep," Colby replied. "And there is many more to come for Aaron and Ashley."

"Indeed."

Aaron and Ashley pulled away from each other's lips a moment later. Colby and Mercedes congratulated their son and told him how he did on their end.

"How'd I do, Valerie and Derek?" Aaron asked his baby brother and baby sister.

"Fantastic!" Valerie said.

"I loved it!" Derek commented. "I can't wait to see you do more, Arick Rollins!"

Aaron chuckled. "Thanks, little man."

"I'm your number one favorite fangirl, okay?" Valerie said.

"How about my number one favorite little fangirl?"

"Works for me!"

Aaron chuckled. He hugged his baby sister and kissed her cheek. "I love you, Val-Val."

"I love you too, Airhead."

Everyone laughed. They all loved one of Valerie's nicknames for Aaron. He was her Airhead and nobody else's. And only she was allowed to call him that.
