The next morning, the sun peeked through the curtains of Y/N's hotel room, casting a warm, golden light across the room. He awoke with a renewed sense of excitement and purpose, his mind already racing through the possibilities that lay ahead. After a quick breakfast, he made his way to the arena for the day’s RAW taping.

As Y/N arrived, the buzz of activity in the backstage area was unmistakable. He greeted familiar faces and received nods of encouragement from fellow wrestlers. He spotted Samantha Irvin and Jackie Redmond, who were busy discussing the day’s schedule. Seeing Y/N, they waved him over.

“Hey, Y/N!” Samantha greeted, her eyes sparkling. “How’s it going this morning?”

“Pretty well, thanks,” Y/N replied, flashing a smile. “I’m still riding high from last night. It’s a little surreal, but in a good way.”

Jackie, holding a stack of papers, nodded in agreement. “Last night was fantastic. The fans are buzzing about you. I’m sure you’ll have even more support today.”

Samantha glanced at her watch. “I’ve got to run to a promo shoot soon, but I wanted to catch up with you before that. How are you feeling about the segment you’re going to do later?”

Y/N shrugged, trying to sound casual but feeling a bit anxious. “I’m excited but a little nervous. I want to make sure I come across well and keep the momentum going.”

Jackie, ever perceptive, leaned in. “You’ll do great. Just be yourself, and let your passion show. The fans already love you for who you are, so just speak from the heart.”

“Thanks, Jackie,” Y/N said, appreciating the encouragement. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

Samantha gave him a supportive smile. “You’ve got this. I’ll catch up with you after my shoot if I have time. Break a leg out there!”

With that, Samantha hurried off to her promotional duties. Jackie stayed behind for a moment, her expression thoughtful.

“You know,” Jackie began, “I’ve been thinking about how you’re transitioning into this new role. The fans are always excited about new talent, but what really keeps them invested is authenticity. Your debut was a great start, and I think you have what it takes to really connect with them.”

Y/N nodded, feeling more confident. “I hope so. I’ve worked really hard to get here, and I want to make sure I give it everything I’ve got.”

Jackie smiled warmly. “I believe you will. And remember, if you ever need advice or just want to talk things over, I’m here.”

“Thanks, Jackie. That means a lot,” Y/N said sincerely.

As the day progressed, Y/N went through the usual pre-show rituals—meeting with the creative team, going over the script for his segment, and checking in with his trainers. He was also introduced to the segment’s format: he would be doing a live promo, discussing his debut and what fans could expect from him in the future.

Later, Y/N was in the makeup area, getting prepped for the segment. The makeup artist chatted with him as she worked, trying to ease any lingering nerves.

“So, how’s it feel being the new guy on the block?” she asked, applying finishing touches.

“It’s exhilarating and a little overwhelming,” Y/N admitted. “Last night was a huge step, but today is a whole new challenge. I want to make sure I stay on track and keep the momentum going.”

The makeup artist gave a reassuring smile. “You’re doing great. Just remember to breathe and enjoy the moment. The fans are here to support you.”

Y/N nodded, taking a deep breath. “Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind.”

The time for his segment drew closer, and Y/N found himself pacing slightly, his mind racing with thoughts. He caught sight of Chad Gable, who had just arrived and was heading towards the locker room. Gable noticed Y/N and approached him.

“Hey, Y/N,” Gable said, his tone friendly. “How are you holding up?”

“Pretty good,” Y/N replied, though he could feel his nerves bubbling up. “Just a bit anxious about the promo later.”

Gable clapped him on the shoulder. “You’ll do fine. Just remember everything we talked about last night—be yourself and let your passion show. The fans are already behind you.”

Y/N took a deep breath, feeling reassured by Gable’s support. “Thanks, Chad. I appreciate the advice.”

As Y/N prepared to head to the stage for his segment, he spotted Samantha returning from her promotional shoot. She gave him a thumbs-up, her expression encouraging.

“You’re up soon, right?” Samantha asked.

“Yeah, just about,” Y/N confirmed. “I’m a bit nervous, but I’m ready to go.”

Samantha gave him a final pep talk. “You’ve got this. Just remember to stay calm and focused. The fans are excited to hear from you.”

With one last deep breath, Y/N walked out to the stage, the bright lights and the roar of the crowd greeting him. As he took his place in the spotlight, he looked out at the sea of faces, feeling a rush of adrenaline.

The segment began, and Y/N spoke confidently, sharing his gratitude for the support he’d received and his excitement for the future. The crowd responded with cheers and applause, their energy fueling his performance.

After the segment, Y/N walked back backstage, his face flushed with satisfaction. The positive feedback from the audience and his colleagues left him feeling elated. He met up with Jackie and Samantha, both of whom were beaming with pride.

“You did fantastic out there!” Jackie said, her excitement evident.

Samantha nodded in agreement. “The fans are really connecting with you. It’s clear you’ve made a strong impression.”

Y/N grinned, feeling a deep sense of accomplishment. “Thank you both for all your support. It really means a lot.”

As the evening wound down, Y/N reflected on the day’s events. It had been another significant step in his journey, and he was eager to continue making his mark. With the support of his friends and the enthusiasm of the fans, Y/N felt ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, knowing that his journey in WWE was just beginning.
