3 days later

Today was a rest day, or in my words lazy day. I was lying on my bed with my macbook between my legs. Beside me on the bed was an opened cream envelope; stamped on the back was a torn WWE seal. I had just received my scripted storyline was the next two months and I needed a moment to take it all in. For days I had been debating what storyline the WWE creative and writing teams had planned for me, I had thought it would have been a feud with one of the current WWE divas but no, the team had really pushed the bar with me. Triple H had mentioned that the company wanted to give me a push later down the line but I had no idea it would have been so soon.

The storyline had been making debate whether to sign for the full 4 years or not. I know I said before I had to suck it up and face my past but I didn't know I would be working so close with it. My storyline had been ironed out and this was final and signed off copy.

The Shield.

I was to become The Shield's manager. But I was going to introduced to the WWE universe after the Divas match at Wrestlemania but I was just gonna to make my presences, the real plot to my storyline was to start the night after on RAW.

The Shield's manager, the shield's manager …. THE SHIELDS FREAKING MANAGER!

If you people haven't already guessed, my past is Colby Lopez aka Seth Rollins. It all started when I had signed with ROH in 2007. I was young and had travelled my way around the states and I was excited to start wrestling on a regular basis and start to build networks and hone my craft even more. And a HUGE plus was the only friend I had made in my time as a teenager in Ohio, Jon Good had only been signed. It was amazing being able to spend time with him again and re-connect since we both had gone our separate ways and keeping in contact was difficult. We became closer than ever, we'd travel together, room together, train together, we basically did everything together. That was until we met Colby, the three of us clicked instantly and twosome had become a threesome. I knew from the beginning that was a spark between Colby, and me and I guess he felt it too. From there we spent more time alone together, getting to know each other and eventually we started dating.

This changed the dynamic of how we worked in ROH. It made me work even harder since I didn't want to be known as the girl who'd sleep her way to top. I spent countless hours in the gym and in the ring, Colby and Jon coaching me along the way. That was until Jon's contract with ROH was at an end and he made the decision to move on, as much as it saddened I wanted to him continue and we jokingly said we'd meet again in the big leagues. This left myself and Colby and we seemed to get closer and closer well I thought we were.

Three years at ROH and I had felt that is had been the best decision for my career and every match I felt that was gaining more and more confidence and the trainers and management must have felt the same. When newbies were signed myself and Colby took them under our wing, giving them a push when they needed it. I had thought this was a good thing, but it turned out it wasn't.

Not long after that I had left the company and Colby. I left without a trace, not even a whisper.

The sound of my phone ringing brought me out of the thoughts. I glanced at the screen and I seen a name flashing that I had seen in a long time.

Jon ...

I didn't even hesitate; I grabbed my phone and swiped the answer button.

"Ohio, long time no chat" I could feel my smile widening

"Irish, it so good to hear your voice again"

Ohio and Irish. Jon was the first person I met when I moved and from day one he called me that. There was no reason behind it; it was just because I was Irish.

"I just got the story line from creative. Why didn't you tell me that you had been moved up?"

I sighed,

"I wanted to, by god I wanted to. It just I actually haven't signed the contract yet. I'm in two minds."

"Gem, if your actually thinking of turning this down because of Colby you must be crazy?" I could hear the anger in his voice

"You remember nights we'd talk about making it to WWE. How we'd do it together. Ohio and Irish." Jon spoke

"I know, I know that's what makes this such a hard decision. Sometimes, I think signing with ROH was the worst decision of my life"

"Don't you dare think that? I saw you grow in that company and Colby helped you with that. I've seen you grow even more in NXT and yes I kept tabs on you. I'll always look out for you." I could hear the care in his voice

"Oh you have been stalking me from afar?" I chuckled

"I wouldn't call it stalking, as such"

"Does Colby know that I'm coming up soon?" I asked, with a slight bit of hesitation

"No, all he knows is a NXT star is becoming our manager."

I took a deep breath.

"Please, please keep this to yourself. Let me find out on his own. I know I'll have to face him, and I rather do that after he see's me in person"

"Whatever you want Irish. This is your life, I ain't got nothin' to do with it."

We spent the next hour catching up on old times, and we both couldn't wait to be reunited once again. We both also apologized for not staying in touch as often as we liked. The past with Colby did come up again, and we spoke in depth about that because after I left ROH Jon was the only person who knew where I had gone.

"Hey, hate to say this but I gotta go" I could hear the sadness in Jon's voice

I could hear voices in the background. I knew could have kept on talking for another few hours but I had a feeling Colby had just entered the room.

"He's there, isn't he?" I asked already knowing the answer

"Yeah, sorry. I'm guessing I'll see you in a couple days then?"

"Of course, make it a date" once again my grin had returned.

The line went dead after than. I placed it back beside me on the bed and I couldn't help but look at the contract. I bit my lip, before grabbing a pen and scribbled my signature on it.

It was done, decision made. Wrestlemania here I come …

Sorry there was alot of writing and not alot of dialogue in this one. I like to explain this early on in stories. Give you guys the readers a better backstory. And I know Jon Good (Dean Ambrose) was only in ROH for like 2 matches but it just seemed better to write in like this :)
