Author's Note: This story may seem random let me explain its origin, my friend and I don't have normal phone calls we create universes to escape reality (isn't that why fan fiction was created) anyway we talk Superheroes , Wrestling, and occasionally Star Wars anyway he probably doesn't like how I make Alex be a worried for my health character so I suggested a Wrestling reboot and this story was the idea the thing is he likes where we are in our Wrestling thing so he put the reboot on hold for now I liked the idea enough I decided to turn it into a story.

Chapter 01: The PC Reunion

Matthew's POV October 8, 2018: WWE Performance Center

"My name is Matthew Smith after a very successful time on the independent circuit I was confronted by two talent scouts, one from Impact Wrestling and one from the WWE, the choice was obvious with a place I had previously worked for, Global Force Wrestling merging with Impact a little over a year ago I went with the offer from WWE I now stand outside the WWE Performance Center once I enter there is no going back I have my tapout gear on and I've done my three months of no wrestling as required by WWE to start training, my one question is if I'm ready."

"Only one way to find out." I said to no one in particular before walking in I stood their for a second looking at all seven of the wrestling rings in awe. I noticed some unfamiliar faces and some friends from my Indy days such as Rodrick Strong, Adam Cole, and the Tommaso Ciampa , just to name a few. I then walked up to Matt Bloom, "Hello sir." I said pleasantly, "I'm one of your newly signed talents my name and is Matthew Smith." I extended my hand.

Matt turned to me, "Nice to meet you Matthew I'm Matt Bloom the head coach you can call me Coach Bloom" Matt shook my hand then pointed to the ring, "get in the ring lets see what you got." He turned his head, " RODRICK! GET OVER HERE!" Matt shouted and Rodrick ran over.

"Yeah Coach Bloom?" he asked nicely.

Coach Bloom pointed to the ring, "You're his test opponent get in the ring." Roddy nodded his head and entered the ring we fist bumped and went through an entire match as the match progressed I scrapped away the ring rust that had set in and let the adrenaline of finally after three weeks of no wrestling unless I was playing a WWE 2K video game being inside the squared circle again (still don't know why it's called that) after a hard fought match Rodrick submitted to the Full Nelson and I fell flat on my back out of breath and more hungry then anything else. I rolled under the bottom rope to hear what Matt had to say, "All that ring rust gone?" I nodded, "How did it feel to be in the ring again?"

"Really good." I replied out of breath, "I-I barely won though the ring rust was scraped away during the match sir." I told him after regaining my breath.

"Well you did good, you're not at the NXT level yet but you did just get signed so… we'll mold you into a superstar over your time here." Just after he finished my stomach growled, "But for now take a break… and eat." I nodded and walked off, I looked back he was talking with a very small girl with red streaks in the front where her bangs would be I guess her hair was extremely dark brown, almost black, her hair looked like it had a natural left part, and she had a sun tattooed on her right shoulder and that's all I could make out before I put on my pair of Beats Solo 3s and started playing some 3OH!3.

Alex's POV

"Why Bianca? I thought as she slammed me to the mat with my hair and she threw me into the corner I haven't gotten one bit of offense yet" I kick her in her bitchy face followed by a second rope crossbody then a running dropkick then she hit me with a running closeline I did a flip landed on my feet and hit a Pelé Kick and got a few good moves in and even got a little dancing in to have some fun and ended it with a sleeper hold. Matt had directed me to Sara Amato, you may know her better as Sara Del Rey, the head female trainer at the performance center .

"Good job." Coach Del Rey stated, "Definitively room for improvement, but hey that's why you're here. Take a break maybe get something to eat you look out of breathe." I nodded and put in wireless earbuds started playing Skillet and headed off there was a guy sitting all alone in the eating area I tapped his shoulder.

Narrative POV

Matthew paused the song Go F**k Yourself by 3OH!3 and turned to see the girl Matt was talking too earlier, "Mind if I sit here?" She asked he could now see she had light brown eyes and a vague familiarity like he had seen her face somewhere before.

"Not at all." Matthew answered as she sat down he turned off his beats, "Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Matthew Smith. Today is my first day." He greeted extending his hand.

Alex felt like she already knew his name but brushed it off quickly, "Alexis Daniels, Call me Alex." That name rang a bell in Matthew's memory, "You're not alone today is my first day as well. Can I ask you something… unordinary?" She asked.

Matthew swallowed the bite in his mouth, "Sure." He answered.

"Did you ever work for WCPW at some point in time within the last year and a half?"

"Yeah my contract expired before it got re-branded to Defiant." Matthew answered.

Alex snapped her fingers and said quickly, "Oh my God we used to work together before you went to Ring Of Honor." Matthew looked at her wide eyed, "I was Alex Bell" she said blankly.

"Oh now I remember you now, yeah if I resigned we were going to be put in a romantic angle and we went on that business dinner to get acquainted." Matthew said shocked.

"Yeah you're a really nice guy. If you aren't in a relationship-" Alex stated and was cut off.

"Which I'm not." Matthew said blankly.

"Who dumped who?" Alex asked.

"I dumped her, when I arrived home after being signed by WWE I arrived home to her in bed with another man, I flipped my shit and threw her naked ass out on the street." Mathew stated then counted to ten, "Anyway as you were saying."

"You can kinda be a douchebag when you're in a relationship. Alex said quietly hoping he couldn't hear her… he did.

"I want to make my girl feel loved but I do have a tendency to ignore my friends when that happens."

"Even Daniel Travis?" Alex asked surprised, "A guy who is like a brother to you?" Matthew nodded disappointed in himself before standing up, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" she started to apologize before being cut off.

Matthew stuck his hand out to stop her from talking completely calm, "I'm not mad, I'm just ready to continue training" Matthew stated before starting to walk off he had only taken a few steps before.

'Jeeze I said no asshat." Matthew turned his head to see Lio Rush was being a creep trying to get her to go on a date him aggressively and he didn't know why but Matthew didn't like it.

Matthew turned around to stop it, he shoved Lio, "Hey she said no so why don't you beat it." Matthew snapped aggravated.

Lio scoffed, "What are you her boyfriend or something?"

"You have no proof to say otherwise so yes, now get the fuck out of my face bitch." Matthew growled.

Lio slowly backed away as Matthew had a death stare aimed at him, Matthew turned to Alex she was wide eyed, "You just lied to get that douche away form me… thanks" her cheeks turned a light pink,"…like a lot. Where do you live?" Alex asked curious.

"Celebration." Matthew said.

"Get the fuck out me too." Alex said excited.

"Awesome, is your number the same?" Matthew asked.

"Yeah, I'll text you later." Alex said before Matthew jogged off to continue training.

Daniels Sisters Apartment (Post Day 01)

Alex walked in sore from a long and painful day at the Performance Center she plopped her gym bag on the floor of her room and she jumped on her bed to where her stomach side was on the bed and her back was facing the ceiling. She let out a sore moan.

Adrian walked to Alex's room, "Knock knock baby sis. Mind if I come in?" she asked.

Alex rolled to her back and sat up and rested against the headboard, "Come in." She answered.

Adrian cautiously walked in, "How was day one? Adrian asked genuinely curious.

"Painful." Alex answered then laughed and sat up, "Other than painful it was good started my clique with that guy I went on a business dinner with-"

"Yeah, business dinner, face it Alexis it was a date he wore a suit you wore a seductive dress, he took your advice to heart you told me you were nervous while waiting he even let you decide desert or not, Hell HE PAID, and don't use that he had a girlfriend bull crap." Adrian said, "You're blushing just thinking about him you like him."

"Okay maybe a little bit, he did scare away a douche who was trying to get me to go on a date with him, he lied and said we were dating." Alex stated turning on the tv.

"He got jelly" Adrian teased poking Alex, "No doubt."

'He lives in Celebration as well." Alex said after swatting her older sister away channel surfing.

Matthew's POV Smith Apartment (Post Day 01)

I stepped out of the shower the day had been rough on my body, I combed and dried my hair and jumped on my $3,000 dollar bed, I grabbed the remote and pressed the massage button and set the time for thirty minuets and put a face mask on and took a nap. Thirty minuets later there was a knock at my door, I groaned and got out of bed, "One moment!" I shouted putting some pajamas on and a tank top, I grabbed a Nightwing snapback and my glassed put them on as I headed to the door, I looked through the peephole to see a blonde girl standing with Alex which honestly confused me, I opened the door slowly, "Hello there." Alex's face was priceless eyes wide mouth hanging open the blonde girl just looked at Alex confused, "Aren't you going to introduce yourself I think it's pretty obvious I know Alex." I stated which snapped the blonde girl out of her confusion.

"Oh right" she stated running one of her hands through her hair before extending it, "I'm Adrian Daniels Alex's older sister" she introduced herself as I shook her hand, " I made you a little welcome basket" she said as Alex got over the shock, She extended the basket.

"Well thank you" I politely replied taking the basket, "That is very gen… hospitable of you two."

"So you-you-you're the new neighbor across the hall?" Alex stuttered to say.

"Uh yeah." I answered, "Why? I asked confused.

Alex moved her eyes to look at her sister annoyed, "This girl doesn't trust me around a steering wheel she wants me to get a carpool buddy" Alex then looked at me a quickly looked away, "Do you want to be my carpool buddy?" She mumbled the question.

"Sure." I answered immediately.

Alex looked surprised, "Wait really? I didn't expect you to answer so quickly."

"Well our two destinations during the day are the same unless I have some groceries so I don't see why not." I then yawned , "Sorry ladies but I'm rather tired how about we go to bed Alex and I have a long painful day tomorrow."

"Good idea. Goodnight." Alex said and walked into her apartment.

"Alex told me how you "lied" when that creep was hitting on her do you by any chance " she paused to think of the words.

"Like her?" I filled in the blank.

"Well...yeah" Adrian said, "but that isn't what I want to ask you to do. As her older sister I'm very over protective of her, please be her protector her guardian angel of sorts."

"I'll do my best. Goodnight Adrian." I smirked.

"Goodnight neighbor." Adrian replied and we parted. When I shut the door my phone vibrated I sent a reply saying I was tired and went to bed for the night. Tomorrow day 2.

End notes: Alright so until one of our main protagonists is on the NXT roster I'll be doing time jumps next chapter will be 2 months into my training where I don't have a gimmick and I'm acting as an enhancement talent (jobber) for NXT anyway that is all for now.
