Disclaimer: I don't own anyone. This is just something that my older sister has encouraged to do. We are both avid wrestling fans. So I am got getting anything out of this besides enjoyment. The story explains itself as you go along so I don't want to tell you too much. Just read and find out.


WWE headquarters Connecticut Friday morning.

The wrestlers filed into the meeting room in confusion. Vince had not called a meeting of both brands in over a year. Filled with trepidation over what this could mean they began conversing quietly, glad to see their friends from the other show no matter the reason.

Hunched over in the corner of the room Randy Orton looked around and groaned. Hearing him John Cena glanced over and grinned.

"It's not going to be that bad."

Randy looked at him incredulous. "What do you think everyone is going to say when they find out we have lied to them for the past two and a half years."

"They'll ask questions, we'll answer them, and they will forget it. No big deal bro." John answered grinning.

"You're delusional." Randy told him, unable to keep from smiling.

The conversations in the room stopped when the imposing figure of Vince McMahon walked to the podium at the front of the room. Taking a deep breath he spoke out to the multitude of employees gathered in front of him.

"I have made a terrible mistake and though it may be too late I plan to rectify that today." Taking a deep breath he continued. "Almost three years ago two young brothers signed up for training at OVW. After one meeting I could see the potential they both had and was already thinking of ways I could use them to the best of their abilities."

"What's so wrong with that?" called out Paul Levesque, Vince's son in law and the unspoken leader of the RAW brand.

"The problem was that if they trained as brothers they would undoubtedly either be placed as a tag team or start up a story line as rivals that would ruin one or both of their careers. I did not want that. So I made up back grounds for them and placed them on different brands so they wouldn't have to interact with each other."

"How did you manage to do that?" Asked Mark Calloway, his deep voice rumbling around the room.

"Well you see they aren't blood brothers. Both were adopted at a very early age but they still had different last names. I just rearranged a couple of facts and swore them to silence about their past."

"Man, that's not so bad. Why would you think we would revolt over something like that?" Eddie spoke up.

Not for the first time he wished he had not given his employees the idea that it was okay to voice their opinion. It was damn annoying at times. "In order for this to work both boys had to lie to everyone about who they were, not just the fans but to you to. They were unable to share family events with those of you who are their friends. When their family visited them here they had to pretend they were other people."

"So what changed? Why now?" Jericho asked, flinching when his girlfriend, Trish stratus poked him in the ribs.

"Because they have been on separate brands nobody has had a chance to observe the boys interact with each other and notice how close they are. However there is some truth to the rumors of the brands reuniting. I wanted to get this all out in the open before that becomes a reality." Vince answered deciding it was time to finish the discussion.

"Now I am going to let them come up here and answer any questions you have. Just please remember that this is not their fault and they were forced into it."
