OVW gave Mr. McMahon a tape of my wrestling skills, and then I got the letter that would change my life yet again.
It had been six years since I was on television last. Matt Hardy only knew that a new diva was being signed on to Smack Down, so did the rest of the roster. They only knew that a new diva was going up against Jillian Hall for the Diva Championship title in a number one contender's match. I told Vince McMahon that I had wanted my identity to be kept a secret till the match, only then would my name be called out.
I stayed out of everyone's way, no one knew I was there or who occupied the only single dressing room to themselves. I walked towards the entrance ramp decked out in my old Celtic style clothing. Passing Randy Orton he crashed into a wall, tripped over a chair and fell on the floor in order to see if he was seeing right. He lost me when I turned around the corner and disappeared.
Raven's old theme song End of Everything from his WWF days blasted throughout the arena. Fans were confused as to what was going on, I knew Matt was having a hay day backstage as he watched me walk out in front of national television. Everyone stood in shock; there before them was the ever-unemotional looking Priestess Moon Child, the young assistant to the dark man known only as Raven. I wore my same gold fantasy looking outfit with a few minor adjustments. I resembled Legolas from the Lord of the Rings in a way, only in a more detailed way. I still had my Niam Lann, the crown like headband that I always wore when in costume. Then there was the mantle, or cape that I wore, followed by my gold and jeweled raven head walking stick. I handed my mantle, cape, walking stick and headband to a stagehand that then handed me a microphone.
"Wait a minute, I know you." Jillian said into her microphone. "You're that witch, back in 2000. The one that prayed to a goddess, the inventor of the Otherworld Slam but I thought you were killed. What, did you resurrect yourself or something?"
I smirked. "Yeah, you could say that. Yes I'm a witch but I prefer to be called Priestess Moon Child. I don't need implants to make myself look good."
"No wonder why you look like a hag."
That done it, that wasn't in the script. I threw out the microphone and jabbed the heel of my hand up into her nose, breaking it instantly. This woman was now on my 'watch your back' list. Suplexing Jillian I got up and circled her prone body. This was my wolf side talking and I knew she was starting to get the message. Boldly Jillian tackled me but I monkey flipped her into the corner. I let out a vicious and put her into my own version of a half Nelson, this one was to make her submit but I didn't want her to. Taking the back of her head I smashed her head into the mat.
In a corner I waited patiently till my opponent was on her feet. Grabbing the top ropes I back flipped into a handstand then landed in a crouching position on the ropes. That's when I saw Matt Hardy standing at the top of the ramp watching me closely in almost complete shock. Jillian went to push me off but I grabbed her throat before she even reached me. Hoisting the woman over my head I visualized myself briefly as a bear and I was certain that the cameraman was zooming in on this phenomenon. I executed my signature move I called the Otherworld Slam, a sidewalk slam from the top turnbuckle. The crowd went wild when I stood after my debut win. Exited the ring I grabbed my walking stick and went towards the entrance but stop to look at Matt briefly before disappearing behind the curtain.
"You're back in action?" Matt asked grabbing my elbow.
"Yeah, I'm back. It helps pay the bills and college and supports my small business. I'm not saying it's not good to see you because it is but I have an interview with Matthews in five minutes so I have to go. Guess we'll be talking later, bye."
With that I walked off to the interview area. Acting as if nothing was wrong I was stopped by Josh.
"Can I have a word, Priestess Moon Child?" He asked of me.
Shrugging I turned towards him. "Word away, Mr. Mathews. I'm not in a hurry."
"Is it true you're a witch?"
"Yes I am, I'm a practitioner of Wicca. Doesn't make me a had person does it?"
"Everyone thinks you're cheating because you cast spells…"
I laughed cutting him off. "That's not how I work. I work through skill, practice and knowledge. I have abilities that allows me to do what I do, it's not magick, it's my skills."
Josh swallowed. "Everyone thought you were dead."
"In a sense I did die, but I came back. I'm miracle actually, though you wouldn't understand my way of life. Anything else?"
"Where have you been for six years?"
"Working to get back in the ring. If you'll excuse me I have to go calm down." I stated before walking off.
