=========================

It's the end of January and the WWE World is buzzing for the Royal Rumble, mainly because they want to see who returns, everyone loves the Rumble mostly because the returns, this include's Logan's return.

He and Ashley are coming back from their honeymoon, that's right, Logan Kenway and Charlotte Flair are now married, it's about time as well, they've been dating for 3 years, they first met at Wrestlmania 30 in New Orleans, Ashely was a chaperon with Alexis Kaufman and Mercedes Varnado, Logan was defending his Intercontinental Championship against Wade Barret in a first time ever, all British match for the title, Logan won and went on to break the longest IC title reign.

The 453 day reign by the Honky Tonk Man was destroyed by Logan's 542 day title reign, many tried to stop him and take the belt for themselves but Logan always seemed to come out on top, now he's one of the best to be in the WWE and both himself and Ashely have a combined 21 World Titles between them.

Ashely: I'm so excited to be back.

Logan and Ashely walked into their own personal Locker room, yes, Hunter gave them their own space after their first Christmas as a married couple, the third time lucky right.

Logan: Was it really that bad?

Logan asked putting his bag down and looking over to his new wife, a lot of people don't like her because she plays a bad guy... bad girl? On Tv, either way, she's not so bad IRL...

... Ashley smiled to him while also putting her bag down, Logan knew what she meant but just had to make a joke, it's just what he does, it's why she loves him.

Ashley: You know what I meant, beside, New Year's was pretty memorable right?

Ashely asked walking over to him and wrapping her arms around his neck, Logan's hand's found her waist and gently swayed them while thinking about that night, not just night but day as well, they spent most of it in bed, in the shower or sometimes on the living room couch.

Logan: Oh, that was a good day...

Logan seemed to be in his own world thinking about that day, plus the many days and night's since their relationship begun, Ashley's had a rough road with relationships over the years and Logan hasn't really ever bothered, he's always wanted to be a success before he focused on personal life stuff, now he's done everything he's set out to do.

Ashely: What's wrong?

She asked seeing his lack of thought, it's kind of like he's thinking about things, he snapped out of it though and looked down to her a little getting rid of the thinking face and replacing it with a smile.

Logan: Nothing, just a little nervous is all. It's been a few months.

Ashley knew he was keeping something from her, they might have only been dating for 3 years but they've know each other for nearly 8, plus Ashley know's him like the back of her hand at this point after so long together, she know's he likes to keep things to himself but he doesn't have to anymore.

Ashley nodded to him though, she'll talk to him some more about it later, she doesn't want to get into his head right now with a big night riding on it, so she gave him a quick kiss before they both started to get ready for the show with the Women's Rumble up first, they both have the same number to come out too as well, making it couple's goals.

So as Ashely's number came up, they left the locker room before heading in different directions, Ashely to the Curtain and Logan to the catering area where some of their friends are sitting and waiting.

Colby: Logan!

Logan heard his name and saw Colby sitting with Becky and their daughter Roux, Logan smiled and went over to them, they haven't seen them for the past couple of weeks, he and Ashely worked there asses off to get back into Ring shape, Logan picked up the little girl from her seat making the young Lopez giggle.

Logan: How's my favorite God daughter?

Logan asked holding Roux in his arms while Becky and Colby smiled up to them, Logan's known Becky the longest, both being from the UK in America brought them together, both didn't have their family's or friends with them and that is what made them good friends, Logan first met Colby when he got to NXT but they didn't really become friends till Colby got to the Main Roster, Logan was one of the first guys attacked by The SHIELD, those are good times.

Becky: How many God daughter's you got?

Logan shrugged to her Irish accent and sat down in the chair Roux was just in, he saw Roux was colouring in, well, she grabbed the crayon and made loads of colours on the pages, it's still better then a Jackson Pollock painting.

Logan: Just the one, but that just hammers home my point, doesn't it?

They couldn't argue with his point, Becky already did her job tonight, she and Bayley went one on one earlier with The Man getting the pinfall victory over The Role Model, Ashley and Logan are going to win the Rumble and face the Champs at Wrestlemania 39, making it 7 Wrestlemania's in a row for Logan, he only missed Wrestlemania 32 due to injury.

The trio of adults watched as Charlotte Flair won the Women's Royal Rumble, it's going to be fun because she's going to be a face role going after Ronda, most people are sick of Ronda at this point, it's like she doesn't seem to be improving, she's been doing wrestling for years now and she still can't sell a simple DDT, it's not fair to the others that she keeps getting the chances, say what you like but Gionna is and was a better Champion the Ronda ever could be.

Logan snapped out his thoughts though when Ashley put her arm around his shoulder making him look to her...

... She always looked great in her ring attire, she looks great doing it and she does it great, it's a perfect combination, she gave him a quick kiss before wiping the sweat from her face and standing upright beside her new husband, Logan put his left arm around her though keeping her close to him.

Becky: You looked great out there, Lass. No ring rust, at all.

Ashley smiled to her friend, they've gotten closure again over the past couple of years mainly because of Logan but also because they put their past behind them, they never really hated each other but acting it out will eventually put a obstacle between them, Logan moved it though and brought the friends back together.

Ashley: Thanks, it's good to be back. And cheered for once.

Charlotte Flair is a Heel character, she's the Queen of WWE, Charlotte Flair likes to get cheered every once in a while, she'll go back to being a Heel soon though, just as soon as Ronda doesn't get what she wants and whines all the way back to California.

Colby: Alright, come on Wolfie. You got a Rumble to win.

Logan smiled with a single "Ha" standing up passing Roux back over to her mother, Logan gave Ashley one last kiss as Colby gave the same to Becky, both guys then left towards the Curtain as Ashley sat where Logan just was sighing loudly looking in the direction the guys left in.

Becky: He's acting weird right?

Ashley looked to her reformed best friend and watched as she paid attention to her little girl, Ashley was a little curious about if she and Logan should have a kid but maybe their not ready right now.

Ashley: You see it too? Oh, thank God I thought I was mad. What is it? You've known him longer then I have.

Becky looked up to her and chuckled, only Logan can make her freak out so much about him, all of her ex's never got this from her, only Logan, that's good though, she worries about him and it's adorable, she just worries a little too much.

Becky: Isn't it obvious? He's got no goal anymore. The guy doesn't know what to do with himself.

Ashley thought about it and now it completely makes sense, Logan might not plan out his life or even his day but he does have goals but now he's scored them all, he's at the top of his work, he's married and now he has nothing to aim for.

Ashley: Ooooo.

Ashley now realised what's got her husband so distracted, he needs to get a new goal to aim for, even if he didn't know he's trying to aim for it, he still needs one, Ashley and Becky pushed that aside for a second though as the Men's Rumble match got underway...

=========================

It's been a fun Rumble so far with a few unexpected returns here and there, Logan's is a little more predictable now that Ashley made her's earlier on in the evening, that doesn't matte right now though because in the ring is, Edge, Damian Priest, Seth Rollins, Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn, Solo is the most refreshed after coming out recently at number #21.

Solo and Sami are working together against the other 3 Superstars both trying to make the Tribal Chief's job so much easier then it already is...

... The mood changed in the Arena as Solo and Sami looked to the Curtain, Logan came out wearing his usual get up...

... And looked ready to be back, the crowd are going mad for their Alpha as he hasn't been in the ring since Wrestlemania 38, it was a good match then and it'll be a good match now, Logan stood at the base of the ramp as Solo and Sami encouraged him to get into the ring standing side by side in the centre.

Logan's music cut off as he slowly took his jacket off, the girls watched backstage, they never knew how he could wrestle in such heavy clothes, Logan slowly pulled his hoodie off as well, this is just him being him as his shirt got dragged with it, Ashley loved seeing his abs just being teased like that.

Logan looked and saw a little girl on his left, she is clearly a Charlotte Flair fan and the boy next to her was a fan of his, Logan assumed they were brother and sister, before tossing his hoodie to him, it had "The Alpha's" WWE merch all over it and the boy looked like he won the lottery, Solo and Sami now played confused while Logan waisted time, Seth watched from behind the duo smiling at his friends antics before kicking into plan, he got up and attacked Sami from behind dropping him, Solo then turned away from Logan and put his attention onto the Multi Time World Champion.

This gave Logan his chance to slip in and get Solo with his back turned, Solo took the blows and fumbled in to the corner as Logan wailed away, Solo eventually dropped to the mat sitting there giving Logan a chance to hype up the crowd, he eventually went over to Seth and held his right hand out, Seth accepted the gesture and they both worked together on getting the last 2 members of the Bloodline out...

=========================

It's coming to the end of the Rumble and the only two left in the ring with one more to come, is Logan and Solo, Logan just got Sami out by lifting him over the top rope after he pushed Seth over, now Solo's sitting in the top left turnbuckle corner looking across the ring to Logan while Logan looked over to Solo.

The crowd liked the possibility of seeing these two going one on one, even forgetting about the last number to come, Logan and Solo slowly climbed to their feet holding themselves up by the ropes, but just before they could charge at each other, the clock started to count down.

They waited to see who it would be and of course they already knew but the crowd didn't, they had a theory, the face Logan gave made it more believable though when the music kicked in...

https://youtu.be/ZcIYOgcCcnM

... As soon as the song kicked in, the crowd lost their minds even more so when The Rock came out of the curtain, Logan looked like a defeated man while Solo actually seemed to have a small smirk on his face, The Rock marched his way to the ring and climbed in the normal way he does standing beside Solo looking to Logan.

The Music cut out and Logan panted trying to sell the match off better then he needed to, The Rock looked down his nose at him and Solo was about to step towards Logan but The Rock spun him and Rock Bottomed the Enforcer of The Bloodline...

... Logan looked just as surprised as the crowd was but The Rock looked to Logan the entire time as he lined up for the People's Elbow, he tossed his elbow pad into the crowd and went to run at the ropes near Logan, Logan saw the chance though and pulled the top rope down making The People's Champion fall out the ring and out the Rumble.

The crowd boo'd Logan as Logan watched from one knee looking at The Rock between the top and middle rope, The Rock looked up to Logan like he just walked into his house, kicked his dog then pissed in his swimming pool.

It's now Logan's turn to smile while walking over to the still downed Solo, Logan then mocked The Rock by doing the People's Elbow...

... As soon as he dropped his elbow Solo stunned himself up and Logan tossed him over the top rope winning the Rumble...

https://youtu.be/wMEZNKEYOlA

... Logan dropped to his knees as some of the crowd boo'd and a few cheered, The Rock however just stood at the bottom of the ramp not even sweating as he watched Logan and Logan watched him, neither broke eye contact as the camera sat behind The Rock angling to get the back of his head, Logan's tired, panting face and the now exploding pyrotechnics of the Wrestlemania 39 sign behind them, this is Logan's story building up to the grandest stage of them all...
