Chapter 101

A few months later on Friday, April 5, 2041…

"Ladies and gentlemen, I stand here with the 2041 Royal Rumble winner and Number One Contender for the Universal Champion, TR Andrews," Anna, an interviewer said. "And of course, his beautiful wife, Evelyn. Good evening to you both."

"Hello" Trevor said.

"Hi," Evelyn said.

"So much has happened since the last time we were all on the Red carpet together for the Hall of Fame," Anna commented.

"It sure has," Evelyn smiled brightly.

"You two got married in October and then you had twins in December. Congratulations to it all!"

"Thank you!"

"Thank you very much," Trevor smiled himself.

"How does it feel to be parents now?" Anna asked.

"Its wonderful!"

"Yes, its wonderful," Evelyn said.

"But let's talk about Sunday," Anna said. "You are facing Bryce Ross for the Universal Champion, TR. Are you ready?"

"I sure am!" Trevor replied. "I've been ready since I won the Rumble in January. Bryce is losing that championship and I'm bringing it to show my son and daughter. I am winning that title for them!"

"Evelyn," Anna said.

"Yes?" Evelyn asked.

"Your little brother, Arick Rollins is up for the Intercontinental Championship this Sunday as well. How do you feel for that?"

"I am so proud of Arick! He had had his heart on being a WWE Superstar since we were kids. He's a second-generation superstar. And he has done phenomenal in his career so far. He is going to win. The same goes with Keagan Balor on Sunday. She is going to become SmackDown Women's Champion!"

"Well, said, babe," Trevor said.

Aaron and Ashley were interviewed next. It was their first Red Carpet as WWE Superstars. Their interviewer talked with them about Sunday and a few personal things.

"One person who is doing pretty well for themselves in the NXT circuit is your sister, Arick. Katianna Rollins is kicking it," The interviewer, Alexandra said.

"She is," Aaron replied. "I'm extremely proud of her. Our family is extremely proud of her. I know she'll be NXT Women's Champion one day. Then Raw Women's Champion and SmackDown Women's Champion as well. A Grand Slam Champion. Keagan will be one herself one way."

Ashley smiled.

Mercedes and Colby were next to be interviewed by Anna. They had Derek, Valerie, and Mariah with them.

"Hello Seth and Sasha," Anna said.

"Hi," Mercedes replied.

"Its great to see you, Anna," Colby commented.

"Well, its great to see you too, Seth. I never get tired of seeing you and Sasha. Especially with the family."

"Thank you."

"You saw some of our family just a few moments ago," Mercedes commented.

"I did. We did, WWE Universe," Anna said. "I just talked to your son-in-law and daughter, while Alexandra just talked to your son and nonother than Keagan Balor."

"Yep, our pride and joys," Colby said.

"Now you have much to be proud of, Seth. TR, your son-in-law, started training with you at the young age of fifteen. Now he's taking on Bryce Ross this Sunday for the Universal Champion. Then there's your son, Arick Rollins challenging the Intercontinental Champion, Walker Jensen for that title. And lastly, your daughter, Katianna Rollins is in NXT. How proud are you?"

"Extremely. I have always been extremely proud of my kids. I'm extremely proud of Mariah, Valerie and Derek over here," Colby said, motioning to his youngest children. "But yes, I have my son and daughter as superstars. Arick has been NXT Champion and now he's headed toward the Intercontinental Champion. I can't wait to see him win that title on Sunday. And if he doesn't win. I'll still be proud of him. Now with Katianna, she is going to be better than her mother was."

"What's your take on that, Sasha?" Anna asked.

"I completely agree," Mercedes replied with a bright smile. "Katianna is going to be even better than I was. I don't take that as an insult. I am proud of everything I've done. And after I stepped away from the ring back in 2018, a lot more has happened with Women's Wrestling. I was part of the Divas Revolution and the Evolution of the Women's Division. Keagan Balor is my goddaughter and I am extremely proud of her with everything she has done thus far in her career. But I am even prouder for my daughter and I know Katianna will have a long and healthy career."

"Very good. But you and Seth have recently acquired two new family members."

"That's right!"

"Yep," Colby said. "We are proud grandparents now."

"Yes, we are!"

"A definite proud Grandma with that smile, Sasha," Anna commented.

"I am!" Mercedes exclaimed. "I was very excited when Evelyn told us the news about being pregnant. But I was even more excited when she told us she was pregnant with twins. What made it even better was we got a boy and a girl of the twins."

"That's a great combo for sure. I do remember Evelyn and TR saying they'd have six kids themselves. So, four more to go, right?"

"Yes, lots of grandbabies."

"Yes, lots of grandbabies but we're content with the twins right now," Colby said.

"Definitely," Mercedes said.

"How about some words for the youngest of the Banks-Rollins family?" Anna asked.

"Yes," Mercedes said, looking to her three younger children.

"Hello, Mariah, Derek and Valerie."

"Hi," The three said.

"You have been coming to WrestleMania every year for the last few years, are you tired of it yet?"

"Heck no!" Mariah exclaimed.

"No!" Derek said.

"I love it!" Valerie exclaimed. "We have gotten to see our brother-in-law and our brother kick butt! That's the best part."

"Yes, it's a lot of fun to have seen our parents in the ring and everything," Mariah commented. "But to see TR, Arick, and Katianna is the best. I am a proud little sister."

"Me too!"

"My heroes are TR and Arick," Derek said. "And I can't wait to see Katianna dominate the Women's Division. NXT is her domain since Keagan is on SmackDown Live now."

"Well, thanks for talking with me, everyone," Anna said.

Mercedes and Colby enjoyed the Hall of Fame like always. As did the kids. Valerie and Derek never got bored with it. It was fun to learn of the Hall of Famers for each class, each year. Evelyn enjoyed being there with Trevor. He had been busy all week with WrestleMania Axxess and other appearances. But now they were able to enjoy the time together and without the twins. However, they did have their alone time with the twins at night. At that moment, though, they were happy just to be the two of them. The twins had been left in the care of his parents as well.

"I'm so glad you were able to come with me for WrestleMania," Katianna said as she and Darren left WrestleMania Axxess.

"I need to be here in support of my girlfriend," Darren replied. "Plus, as a wrestling fan it is awesome. But remember, I love you despite being a wrestler. I love you for you. You have an awesome and I love having met some of my favorite WWE Superstars over the years. But I have enjoyed being here with you and your family."

"You're so sweet, baby. And I love you too."

Darren smiled and kissed her.

The next night, it was NXT TakeOver. Katianna had a minor match and she picked up the win. Her parents, siblings—minus Evelyn and Trevor—and Darren were all in the crowd in support of her. Evelyn and Trevor watched TakeOver from their hotel room. It was nice to be alone.

"By this time tomorrow our son will be Intercontinental Champion, our son-in-law Universal Champion, our daughter having took place in the Women's Battle Royal, and my goddaughter will be SmackDown Women's Champion," Mercedes said as she and Coby laid in bed that night.

"I can't wait for it," Colby replied. "It was just twenty-three years you and I were both about to win the Universal Championship and Raw Women's Championship."

"That was one of the best nights."

"All my nights with you are the best, Mercedes." Colby leaned over and kissed her.

"Same here, Colby."

The very next day, it was WrestleMania. It was an important day of focus for Trevor, Aaron, and Ashley. Katianna needed to focus as well, but not as much as her brother, brother-in-law, and adoptive sister. Everyone in the family knew it was important. However, the four WWE Superstars had breakfast with their family before needing to report to the arena for WrestleMania.

"Daddy will see you soon enough, kiddos," Trevor said, kissing his son and daughter good-bye as he had a few minutes to spare before heading to the arena.

Evelyn smiled.

"And I'll see you soon too, baby."

"Yep," Evelyn replied.

Trevor smiled, kissing his wife passionately on the lips.

"I love you, baby."

"Love you too."

Trevor gave Evelyn one more kiss. He grabbed his bags and headed out the door of the hotel room. Evelyn smiled.

Some hours later, Mercedes and Colby sat in the crowd with Mariah, Derek, Valerie, and Darren for WrestleMania. They sat with Becky, Fergal, Lexi, and Jaime as well. The four parents were excited for their kids to become champions as they had at last year's NXT TakeOver for the NXT Championship and NXT Women's Championship.

Evelyn was in the crowd with her parents as well. Trevor's parents, Mike and Renee and his sister, Chelsea too.

WrestleMania was in Chicago that year. Chelsea was in college still and had not been able to take time away from her classes for WrestleMania week. But she had made it out to Chicago on Friday. Now she was happy to be at WrestleMania with her parents, her sister-in-law, and her newborn niece and nephew to watch her older brother become champion.

The Women's Battle Royal was on the Pre-show. Katianna was excited to be in that match. She was excited to be in the ring with a bunch of women who inspired her, she looked up to, and who were her friends. But she was even happier because her family and boyfriend were there to watch her. Plus, her older brother and brother-in-law would both be champions at the end of the night.

When WrestleMania officially started, the first match of the night was Arick Rollins's match for the Intercontinental Champion. The champion just so happened to be Maverick Jax. Arick had cost Maverick the NXT Championship two years ago helping TR Andrews retain. Maverick had been TR Andrews's opponent last year at Mania. In which TR had gotten busted open during the match.

Maverick was brutal with Arick during the match. He was a brutal opponent. But Arick was able to always fight back and eventually pick up the win.

"Here is your winner and new Intercontinental Champion, Arick Rollins!"

Mercedes and Colby erupted into applause with their family and friends.

Aaron got on the turnbuckle and held up the championship belt. He looked into the crowd where his family was. He held his fist out, letting them know he saw them.

Derek and Valerie both held up a sign they had made. It said Arick Rollins is our hero.

Aaron smiled. He pointed to the championship and said "For you."

Derek and Valerie jumped up and down knowing their older brother was talking to them.

"Aaron did great," Darren said.

"He sure did," Mercedes replied.

Colby agreed. His son had performed great in that ring. He hadn't seen any problems with holds or maneuvers. His son had definitely been ready for that night. He was such a proud father.

After the match following Aaron's, he was interviewed for his win.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your new Intercontinental Champion, Arick Rollins," Anna, the interviewer said.

Arick stepped into view. He had a huge smile on his face and the belt on his shoulder.

"Congratulations, Arick."

"Thanks, Anna," Arick replied.

"How does it feel to have won tonight?"

"It feels great, Anna! I am the new Intercontinental Champion! This win wasn't for me! No, this win was for my little brother, Derek and my little sister, Valerie. Those two are a few of my biggest fans. I have not wrestled for myself but for them. All my siblings and I have been wrestling fans since birth. Our parents are Seth Freaking Rollins and the Boss, Sasha Banks!"

The fans went wild at that.

"Yes, Seth Rollins and Sasha Banks, WWE Hall of Famers!" Arick continued. "I was born and raised in this business. I am a second-generation superstar. As is my sister, Katianna. And she will be NXT Women's Champion someday. I know it, because I knew I was going to win tonight, which I did. I also know my girlfriend, Keagan Balor…"

Cheers from the fans.

"…Is going to win the SmackDown Women's Championship later tonight. As well as my brother-in-law, TR Andrews going to win the Universal Championship. I am bringing home this gold." He held the title up. "But my brother-in-law is bringing home the Universal Champion. And you can bank on that."

Arick walked away then.

Mercedes and Colby smiled at each other.

A little later in the night, Keagan Balor won her match for the SmackDown Women's Championship. And after the match both Becky Lynch and Finn Balor went out to the ring to congratulate their daughter. But backstage, Lexi and Jaime waited to congratulate their big sister.

The Universal Title match was the main event for WrestleMania. The whole family was ready for it. The twins had been with Evelyn and the rest of the family the whole time. They had been carried in slings all night. They also hadn't cried much that night. The only matches Evelyn had cared about that night were Aaron's, Ashley's and of course, Trevor's. She had sat down for the show most of the night. As did her in-laws.

The current Universal Champion, Bryce Ross made his entrance first. TR Andrews followed him.

Trevor was in complete focus for his match. Plus, knowing his wife, parents, sister, and in-laws were in the crowd watching gave him pride and confidence. His win was going to be for all them, plus his three-month-old, twin son and daughter. But most of all, the win would be for his deceased friend, Andy.

Jessica announced the two wrestlers.

"The following match is scheduled for one fall…"

"…One fall!" The crowd cheered.

"…and is for the Universal Champion. Introducing first, weighing in at 265 pounds, from Tampa, Florida, he is the current Universal Champion, Bryce Ross!"

Evelyn with her family booed.

"And the challenger, weighing in at 210 pounds, he is from Moline, Illinois, TR Andrews!"

Evelyn and the family cheered and screamed for him.

Derek and Valerie had made a sign for Trevor as well. This one said: TR Andrews is our brother-in-law

The referee held the Universal Title up with both hands. He then handed it off to a ring hand. He turned his attention to the two superstars he was in the ring with. He asked if they were ready. Both superstars were. He called for the bell. TR and Bryce then went at it.

"Here we go," Aaron said as he and Ashley watched the match from backstage.

Evelyn and everyone else was excited as they watched the match. As they watched the match, both Mercedes and Colby watched Trevor and Bryce closing with their hold and maneuvers. Both superstars had asked Colby's advice since January for everything. Seth Rollins was an inspiration to Bryce as he was to Trevor. Of course, Seth Rollins had trained TR Andrews since he was fifteen years old.

"That's good, that's really good," Colby whispered as he watched closely. "Real good, boys."

Mercedes smiled as her husband whispered.

"Come on, Andrews," Bryce taunted as he had TR in the corner. "Come on!" He slapped TR in the face a couple times. "You're going to embarrass yourself in front of your whole family! But most all, Evelyn, and especially Little Andy and Little Hannah!"

That set TR off. He quickly hit Bryce in the face. He did it a couple times.

"Yes, yes!" Evelyn exclaimed. "Come on, baby!"

Minutes later, TR delivered his finisher and quickly pinned Bryce.

"1…2…3!"

Ding-ding!

"Here is your winner and the new Universal Champion, TR Andrews!" Jessica announced.

The crowd erupted into cheers, screams, and applause.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Evelyn cheered.

TR smiled as the referee held his arm in the air. The referee went to grab the belt from the ring hand. Trevor motioned for Evelyn and everyone to come.

Evelyn and her family quickly moved. Evelyn ran to the barricade. A security guard helped her over.

TR held the championship up in the air with both hands. Evelyn quickly came into the ring. He smiled as she grabbed onto his face, kissing him passionately. She then hugged him.

"You did it, Trev," Evelyn said. "You did it for, Andy!"

"I did!" Trevor replied

The two pulled out of their hug. Trevor smiled as his parents and little sister were there to congratulate him. He hugged each of them. Mariah, Derek, and Valerie were there next to congratulate their brother-in-law. He hugged each of them. Becky and Fergal were holding onto the twins for the time being while the family enjoyed the moment together with no problems. By this time too, Aaron had come down to the ring. He also had the IC Title with him.

As everyone came into the ring to congratulate Trevor, the commentators commented on who everyone was.

"And finally, there's TR's mother and father-in-law, Sasha Banks and Seth Rollins!"

Mercedes quickly embraced her son-in-law. She was almost in tears for him.

Colby stepped up to his son-in-law. Trevor smiled as he had the title on his shoulder. Colby smiled. He tapped the title.

"Well done, kid! Well done!"

He then hugged him, patting him on the back.

WrestleMania went off the air with TR Andrews standing in the ring with his family.

Everyone clapped and cheered as Trevor came stage with his family. His arm was wrapped around Evelyn. Trevor smiled. He hugged everyone. But most of all, he hugged Bryce. Bryce was actually Trevor's best friend within the WWE. The two friends shared a few words.

Trevor turned his attention back to his family. He hugged and kissed Evelyn again. By this time too, Becky and Fergal had come backstage with the twins. They came right over to him and Evelyn.

"Here give me the belt," Colby said.

Trevor happily handed the title belt to his father-in-law. He took Hannah from Fergal. He held her and kissed her. He gave her to Evelyn. Evelyn happily took their daughter into her own arms. Trevor reached for Andy next from Becky.

Trevor held his son close. "Daddy loves you, Andy," He said. "You are named after a dear friend of mine. It was both our dreams to be a WWE Superstars and we started the journey together. Sadly, he died a few years ago. And I dedicated myself to continue our dream. I was in NXT, I won the NXT Championship, I made it to the main roster, and I won the Royal Rumble. Now I am the Universal Champion. I did it all for him. But most of all, I did it for you, your mom, and Hannah. You three changed my life and for the better!"

Evelyn smiled as she heard what her husband said to their son. She thought of Andy herself and it made her cry a little. She held Hannah tightly to her. She kissed her daughter's head.
