After an interesting road to recovery as a whole, the day has come for Y/N to officially return to work. He just recently received an E-Mail, confirming that management at ROH was ready to bring him back in. To be honest, he also felt much better now and wanted to show the world what exactly he had to give. The ladies knew about it as well and helped him to get back on track. It was interesting , especially with Priscilla's pregnancy being in full effect and with the build up after Wrestlemania, everyone in the business was excited to see where things would go next. Right now, Y/N was putting his luggage into his new car: a BMW M5.

He bought it just a few days ago as a replacement for the Supra. Thanks to the crash that took him out of action, the old car was completely useless, forcing him to get a new ride. His ladies liked it a lot though, making Y/N feel more comfortable with his purchase. It also helped his image as a whole which was also a positive thing.

Y/N:" You're worth every Penny now. Don't fail me, okay?"

Dakota:" Are you talking to your car again?"

Y/N:" Yeah, so what?"

Tegan:" Nothing. You've been all over it recently though."

Kay:" Not that we don't like the enthusiasm. It's just that it's weird."

Y/N:" I've been weird since day one, ladies. What do you expect?"

Rhea:" Good point. But at least get some breakfast in before you go on the road again. We can't have you hungry for miles on end."

Y/N:" Ehh true, the drive will be long enough as is. Alright, let's go and get some good. I'm hungry."

Tegan:" Aren't you always?"

Everyone shared a laugh with each other before walking back inside. This definitly was something Y/N was going to miss again, but he also knew there were other people he would get to know sooner or later.  And then, he would be the talk of the town so to speak. Y/N was sure that things would turn crazy again early on, but his attention was now on the collection of food that was on the table.

Y/N:" Well, holy hell. That's a lot of food."

Rhea:" Considering your appetite, it's better to prepare more than to not have enough."

Dakota:" Trust us, you do need this. Once you're back on the grind of the wrestling lifestyle, you'll thank us."

Tegan:" Now stop talking and eat, big boy."

Not arguing against that, Y/N smiled and dug into the food as best as he could. This familiarity was really heartwarming to experience as they all talked with each other. Priscilla was still asleep, but she sure would be there before Y/N would leave.
---------------------------------------------------------

After an hour or so, everyone was gathered in the living room, looking at each other. It was time for Y/N to head back to business, but he coukd see how sad the ladies were about him leaving again so soon. Honestly, for them it felt like yesterday that Y/N returned, but they had to let him make his mark in wrestling.

Tegan:" I can't believe you're heading off again."

Dakota:" Can't you stay a little longer?"

Y/N:" I'd love to, but work also needs me. I will call again as soon as I'm at the hotel. And I hope you're gonna watch."

Priscilla:" Of course we will, silly. You support us, we support you."

Rhea:" Damn right! We'll watch everything you do, no matter what."

Kay:" Exactly. And we can't wait to see you with some gold around your waist very soon."

Y/N:" Depending on the booking decisions, we shall see what's coming. Until then, do your best to stay safe and take care of yourselves. I don't want anyone injured here, okay?"

Ladies:" Yes Sir! Loud and clear!"

Another laugh erupted before they shared a big group hug. Their love for each other was still as strong as ever since they got to know know and feel one another, but that was a totally different story alltogether. After the hug, Y/N got a kiss on the lips from each of the girls before he smiled and waved them goodbye for the time being.
---------------------------------------------------------

Countless hours, many songs on the radio and some stops later, Y/N successfully made it to the hotel, checked in and got settled in as much as he could. The travelling aspect of the whole journey was a fun thing actually because it allowed the young man to see more of his surroundings instead of being stuck in the same place for years. He just knew that night was going to be something else and it started immediatly when the show went live.

As soon as the intro was over, the camera cut backstage to Quinn McKay.

Quinn:" Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. I have a very special guest tonight. Please welcome: Matt Taven."

In walked a young man with an almost bald head, wearing a black and blue jacket, pants in the same color scheme and having gloves on his hands.

Quinn:" Matt, it has been reported that tonight we would witness a grand return. What is your take on that?"

Matt:" I really don't give a damn, Quinn. This person, whoever he is, just wants the spotlight."

Quinn:" Y/N L/N has been out with an injury after a car crash though. Do you know anything about that?"

Instead of answering immediatly, Matt took the mic and told Quinn to get out of the way. Apparently he did have something to say and the expression on his face told enough about it.

Matt:" Y/N, ever since you've come to ROH, I've been watching you like a hawk. I've been watching your every move in this ring and out. Trust me, I know your weaknesses. I knew you were disposable and I took that chance to take you out of action for good!"

Matt was really mad, but he did everything he could to keep his composure. This reveal was a shock to everyone watching and the ones who didn't know what was planned for tonight's show.

Matt:" I wanted to end your career before it got started! You aren't and never will be championship material! But if you, Y/N, want a fight, you know where to look!"

(Shoutout to Hparkermarshall for the promo 😁🤘🏻)

Now it was more than clear that Matt was the one who crashed into Y/N's car back then. The mystery lived on for a good while, but this really caused a lot of tension, especially when loud footsteps made their way towards Matt.

It was none other than Y/N who walked up to Matt as the hatred between the two grew now. Eventhough he had no clue who could've actually done it, Matt revealing the truth was making the chase a whole lot easier.

Y/N:" So you're the son of a bitch who tried to take me out!"

Matt:" Yeah I am and I'll do it again, if I have to. You're not good enough to hang with the top guys, Y/N. Yet you get every opportunity, because you're the new shiny toy of the company."

Y/N:" It sounds more like you're jealous, Matt. Are you scared that I take something away from you?"

Matt:" Scared? Get out of here. I'm not scared of someone like you!"

Y/N:" Then let's see who's better."

It didn't take long for their verbal exchange to transition into a physical one as Matt and Y/N did everything they could to dodge each other's attacks. The agility was on a different level and it got even crazier in just a few seconds.

The quickness the two displayed really kicked things up several notches. Y/N had the upper hand for the moment, but from the looks of things Matt was far from giving up. His mind was set on taking Y/N out once and for all.

Matt:" You shouldn't have come back, Y/N! You should've stayed down and moved on!"

Y/N:" Screw you, Matt! I'll break your neck as soon as I'm up!"

Matt:" I wouldn't be so su---"

Unknown to Matt, Y/N got himself a crowbar and struck him in the gut with it, making Matt let go of him for now. Two could play such games and Y/N clearly wasn't going to let his return be spoiled like this. No, instead of letting that happen, he was set on sending a message to everyone as he dragged Matt from the backstage area to the spot where the commentary desk was located. He hit Matt with the crowbar again before pushing him onto the desk and following just a second later. Pulling him up, Y/N looked him right in the eye.

Y/N:" You're gonna pay for what you did to me! Do you hear me, Taven?!"

With everyone watching, Y/N knew he had to do something big to start this episode. The fight with Matt was already grabbing the attention of the crowd and many viewers at home, but the finish of it was something else as he hit Matt with a Cutter, breaking the table in the process.

Y/N:" Hahaha I told you there's a price to pay! Everybody will be punished and you're just another fly in a jar, Matt! Aaaaahahaha!"

This was the Dealer side of Y/N kicking in again as his gimmick hasn't been changed at all. He had creative freedom to do whatever he wanted as long as it didn't violate what management said. Matt was out of it for now and Y/N got up, leaning against the ramp as he looked at the chaos he caused. It was a beautiful disaster and the young man planned on doing a lot more in the coming weeks.
