"Nothing has leaked online," Hunter held up his thumb.
Finn turned to Bria and smiled warmly at her. Three weeks ago a rumor had started online that she would never be allowed to wrestle again. She had been out over a year with a bad, broken back that had caused a lot of rehabbing. No one in WWE had done anything to stop that rumor. It was more fun that way if people thought she was a done deal, and now she was about to make her return.
"That's a good thing, love. You're gonna blow the roof of this building," he said.
Her dark grey eyes had a nervous look in them. She ran her fingers through her long white hair and swallowed.
"Take a deep breath," he said.
"I'm so fucking nervous," she said.
"I can tell," he said. "It's gonna be okay once you go out there. Take it all in and focus on Becky. Focus on beating her ass and allow the fans to love the return of their beloved white swan."
Her eyes lit up and she returned his smile. He quickly looked down her body and up again. All white gear. She was delivering the swan completely in her return.
"Help me with my wings," she said.
He picked up the custom-made swan wings and helped her put them on. His smile grew even wider when he saw her fully transformed.
"You look amazing, Bria," Finn said.
"Thank you," Bria said.
"Bria, 30 seconds," Hunter said.
"I'm ready," Bria said.
"I'm so proud of you, love. So fucking proud," Finn said. "Go knock them dead."
She stood ready by the curtain while listening to Becky going on about how she was aching for a fight and she challenged anyone in the back to come out and face her. The arena went black for a few seconds, and then the titantron turned on. A clip of a white swan spreading its wings showed. The audience erupted in cheers at the same time her music hit.
"I love you!" Finn yelled.
"I love you too!" Bria yelled back.
She walked through the curtain and he watched on a monitor how she walked down the ramp while everyone went crazy over seeing her back. She got up on the apron, jumped over the top rope, and did her usual pose. The swan has returned and she was ready to reclaim her spot on Raw.
