Two Weeks Later.....
As the alarm went off waking me from a pretty nice sleep the butterflies were already flying. Tonight was my first night at Raw and I hoped to god it would go good. I ate a light lunch and did some cleaning around my apartment before I left. The last thing I did was check some emails. Most of them were the usual junk, except one. It was from taker and it simply said good luck and if you get into trouble with the assholes find Chris and he'll take care of it. I knew he wasnt talking about Chris Benoit because he was on smackdown. He was talking about Chris Jericho. Now I know that wrestling is planned and the guys are playing characters but Chris Jericho the actual guy seems nothing more than a toned down verison of the guy you see on tv. Same egomanical asshole just with less clothing and god help us all a microphone from time to time. I took it as taker playing some joke to make me not nervous. It didnt work at all. At 1:00 I left my apartment for my 3 hour plane ride to Barbie Town USA better known as Los Angeles CA. I was already unprepared when I got off the plane. While in South carolina I was freezing my ass off, now in LA I'm sweating. It would be my luck that I show up in LA during a unexpected heat wave. Then I had to find my greeter so I could get my rental car and directions to the hotel. Most greeters have code names written on cards so no one will know why your really here. I had to find a person holding a sign with the name Dani Mckenzie written on it. Sometimes I cant help but wonder if the WWE is some messed up branch of the CIA. Is code names really needed for backstage talent its not like we're out there on tv everyweek. Besides why couldnt they put Cheyenne on the card no one really has that name its crazy, but I had bigger things to think about. Around 5:00 I arrived at the arena, raw started at 9 so I was kinda early. Soon as I thought I had enough time to do everything I remembered that before Raw theres another 1 hour show taped for sunday nights. The Heat show started at 8:00 so the boys should be here around 7:00. I had a little less than 2 hours to get everything done. Good news is that my team was here and they could work. On smackdown me and Jenn did most of the work because the team was smaller and full of lazy bastards, the only thing I wouldnt miss. About a hour and a half later we got everything done. i was finishing up assigning dressing rooms. Seven o clock hit and the boys from Heat started showing so only thing I had to do was show them where the locker room was. So far everything was going just right and I was so proud of myself. That was until I saw Hunter walking down the hall. I dove into the nearest room just to take a breathe and be ready for anything. It didnt take 2 seconds and that bastards voice shot through the air.
"Hey cheychey wheres my dressing room, your working with the big dogs now you gotta be fast." He said already pissing me off.
"Well Mr. Levesque your room is down this hall and to the right. I put you next to the bathroom so just in case you get too full of shit you wont have that far to go." I said remembering taker's advice.
"Oh come on Cheyenne since when have we been on a last name basis your family, call me Hunter." He said.
"Really I get the honor to call you by your first name and be concidered family by the same man who thinks I'm not good enough to live up to the Mcmahon name." I said.
"I never ment for you to feel that way and for what its worth I'm sorry for that." He said.
"Well thank you Hunter now if you excuse me I have a job to do." I said walking off.
I knew he was lying I'm not stupid. He knows that with me on the show he cant say or do anything to me since Vince is almost always around. Hunter was sucking up to me just to save face and I wasnt going to let it happen. Just as I was finshing the very last touches it was time for the first cue ups for Raw before we hit the air. We got the first segments and matches done for Raw and I was happy as can be. We were more than half way through the show and everything was going great. I was standing around waiting for something to do and as soon as I thought I could take a breather my headset went off. I which to the main channel which was connected to Vince at the ramp. He told me to go get Shawn and Jericho for their segment to close out the show. I hadnt seen Shawn the whole time I really didnt know he was here same for Jericho. I had no problem getting Shawn we're friends, now Jericho was different. Still convinced that hes an asshole I hated that I had to get him, so I decided to get him first and get it over with. I knocked twice when I got to his door while slowly pushing it open and hoped that I didnt walk in when he was either putting something on or taking something off. Lucky me I just caught him having a moment with himself and the mirror.
"Mr. Jericho we need you at the ramp in 5 minutes." I said.
He just replied with a simple ok as I took that as my cue to leave and was more than glad to. I closed the door and couldnt help but roll my eyes in knowing that I was right, he was an egomanical bastard just like Hunter.
Now I was at Shawn's door. I did my normal knock while opening while telling Shawn to report to the ramp.
"Is that Cheyenne hiding behind that door?" He asked.
"Yep looks like your stuck with me now." I said walking in the room.
"No problem with that I heard you were coming to the show." He said giving me a hug.
We walked to the ramp and talked a little. I saw Jericho heading towards the ramp so I told shawn that I had to go and I'd talk to him later. They had the last segment of the show so my job was over so I took a seat on one of the empty stage boxes. It didnt take long for my cell phone to ring and for me to see that it was Jenn.
"What damnit!" I said
"You sound like shit dude bad night."She asked
"No the night was good just a few shit things." I said.
"Run into Hunter yet?"
"Of course hes got "lets fuck with cheyenne radar'. I replied
"How about Jericho?"
"I had to give him a cue up and walked in on him having a moment with himself and his reflextion."
"Holy hell so hes worse than he looks on tv?" She asked.
"Probably I didnt stay long but I gotta go the shows over and I want my hotel room." I said hanging up.
I met up with shawn as soon as I could and was disapointed when he told me that he was going straight home so I now have no traveling buddy and I'm stuck with 2 assholes on one show. Now if you ask me thats two assholes too many. There was nothing left to stay around for so I made my way to the parking lot. As I was walking to my car a voice came out of no where. I didnt know the voice so I was in defence mode. Theres no way I was going down with out a fight so I balled up my fist and waited until the steps got closer. They got close enough for me so I turned around and let my arm fly. Two sounds filled the air: one was the hit and the other was that voice.
"Whoa there I didnt mean to scare you!" The voice said.
My nerves calmed down and I saw that it was Jericho. The hit was my hand hitting the palm of his hand. He caught it right before it would of clocked him in the face.
"Jesus you scared me. What can I help you with?" I asked.
"Well I never noticed you before and I just wanted to introduce myself and welcome you to the show."He said.
"Thanks but I wished you would of waited until next week instead of sneaking up on me in the middle of the parking lot." I said wishing I would of hit him.
"I agree but I'm Chris as you probably know." He said.
"Yeah I'm Cheyenne."
"So your the mysterious Cheyenne McMahon I've heard about you." He said kinda grinning.
"Yeah but I'm sorry I got to go since I have a plane to catch so can we do this next week and before I get to the parking lot." I said.
"Sure and sorry again." He said walking off.
I finally got to my car and before I could get in I heard that voice again.
"Hey Cheyenne." Chris yelled.
Would the man let me leave already.
"Yeah Chris." I replied
"Good arm." he said rubbing his palm.
I couldnt help but smile as I got into my car and headed toward the hotel.
