Racheal P.O.V:

Our first-ever show, Double or Nothing, premiered and it was an absolute blast! Getting to be there firsthand, experiencing this fresh new historic event, and capturing all the big moments with my camera was such a thrill. The audience was electric, the matches were incredible, and the whole atmosphere in general was a phenomenally new experience. I felt so proud to be a part of this, so proud of my brother, so proud of Cody and Dustin for the match they had, and so proud of the main event match Kenny and Chris pulled off.

Plus, I'll admit, I almost dropped my camera when Dean Ambrose, or Jon Moxley as he's now called, came out for a shocking debut. I'll have to get used to his new name now, but words cannot describe how excited I was to see him again. He was one of my favorite main roster wrestlers back in WWE and my top Shield member ever. He has also been a great mentor in the ring and a great friend in real life. Honestly, we have this great big brother/little sister bond with each other. Also, I will admit, that I have had a crush on him here and there, which he and Renee know about, but I've never acted on it since they've been together about as long as I've known them. For that, they respect and appreciate my honesty. Besides, I do adore them together.

It was such a fun way to reunite with him too. After the show, as he made his way to the back, he gave me a wink with a gun gesture. I giggled and gave him a cute wave in return. This is our typical playful way of teasing each other. Then, once I made it backstage, literally, I jumped into his arms with how happy I was to see him. I can also already tell how much happier he is here than he was working for Vince. He's going to do great things here, especially working with Chris again, along with Kenny Omega.

By all accounts, Double or Nothing was a smashing success. We were starting red hot, like a freight train from hell, while the old man running the other place continued to run his company into the ground. We are only going to get hotter too as our shows progress, and I cannot wait for this next one.

Following my reunion with Jon, I wanted to get some photos of him as an official All-Elite Wrestler. He knew there was no point in arguing with me so he agreed. On the way to the photo room, Ben caught up with us as well, getting to have his own reunion with our old friend. I told him I would be doing a shoot with him and he volunteered to assist, as he has done for me many times before. I've always enjoyed getting to have him as my little helper. It just further shows how supportive we are for each other.

We get some great photos of Mox, capturing all his best looks, especially the most intimidating ones. We joked around and did some silly ones as well; it was a lot of fun. I'm glad he came aboard the AEW train. Once the photo shoot was over, Benjamin had to get back to his locker room and start packing up. I thanked him for his help as I always do when we hugged before he and Jon shared another bro-hug, then made his exit, leaving me and Mox to ourselves. Well, not entirely; Bruno is still with me since we rarely leave each other's side and Bruno seems to be glad to see Jon. He plays with him and gives him some love, which makes me giggle at their adorableness. Bruno seemed content after that and went to get a drink from the water bowl I had out for him. As he does that, Jon laughed a bit.

"God, I miss that dog," he says.

"He seems to miss you too," I giggled.

"What about you, Omega?" He asked in a more husky tone that never fails to send shivers down my back and cause goosebumps.

That nickname, that only he ever really called me, makes me feel like mush.

"However do you mean, mighty and powerful Alpha?" I playfully flirt.

He gives his sexy smirk, missing our playful teases and jokes just as much as I have. We just have this great flirty chemistry. We know nothing will happen, it is just how it has always been for us.

He steps a little closer before asking with the same tone, "Have you missed me as well?"

I hummed while looking up at him with a perky grin.

"More than you can imagine," I tell him with a bit of a husky tone myself.

He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me against him. I let out a gasp at the suddenness before I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I think I know," he whispered. "Work got boring without you around, and I missed our moments."

I giggled.

"Aww, well, you're in luck," I stated with a smile, "cause we are together again."

He smiled before saying, "That we are."

We hugged again.

"I am really happy you are here, Jon," I whispered in his ear, which caused him to let out a little moan and shiver a bit, even causing goosebumps to form on him from what I could see.

I laughed.

"Sorry, forgot how you enjoyed that," I smirked.

Being the devious person I am, I nibble his ear a bit like I know he enjoys, causing more moans from him and his grip tightens a bit more.

"You better be careful Omega," he says lustfully. "You're playing with fire."

"You don't think I know that," I smirked. "You know I don't back down, I learn too well from you."

"You better stop teasing, Omega," He commanded in a stern tone.

Honestly, it sent shivers down my spine. I love it when he uses that tone with me, makes me wish I was in Renee's place. Sadly, I pulled away from him with the thought of how lucky she was to have a husband like Jon.

"So, where is Renee?" I asked, changing the subject.

"She is still under contract with Vince right now," he answered, not really liking him either.

"That sucks," I stated before asking, "How much longer is her contract?"

"About a year and a half, give or take," he answers sadly.

"Sorry," I said, giving him a sad smile; "but hey, at least you have me, your Omega."

He smiled before slinging his arm around my shoulders and kissed me on the head in a sweet manner.

"That I do," he says. "I really am glad I get to see you again."

"How about we go to a bar to celebrate?" I asked with a knowing smile.

He smirked.

"Trying to get me drunk already you sneaky little Omega," he laughed.

"Me trying to get you drunk?" I said in a jokingly shocked tone. "I would never."

"Yeah, sure," he sarcastically replied; "and I am a fairy godmother."

I laughed.

"You would look amazing in a sparkly pink dress with a bow while holding a wand," I laughed as I imagined him.

We both busted out laughing as we started making our way to his locker room to get his stuff. He helped me carry my stuff, which wasn't much since the rest was dealt with by the other camera people. They had most of the stuff packed and put away by the time we left the room and didn't need any more help.

Bruno trotted next to me, his collar jiggling as Jon and I walked with his arm around my shoulders and my arm around his waist. Our other hands held a bag or two of my stuff.

We talked and caught up some more, making jokes along the way until we got to the men's locker room.

"I'll wait out here for you as you get your stuff," I said.

I really didn't want to go in and see naked men, even though we do have some pretty hot guys on the roster. Some of them were married or taken; while others were too much of a ladies' man for my taste.

Even though me and Jon do have a flirty relationship, that's it. We both have boundaries. I don't do people that are taken and he isn't a cheater. At least, not anymore since he has gotten with Renee, and I'm not going to break her trust, nor make him break it. I love Renee, she is good for him.

"You know I can protect you right?" He assures.

"I know," I answered, giving him a knowing smile. "I rather not start any drama though. Not everyone is like you and Renee, nor do I want them to think it's okay to get flirty with me."

"Alright," he nods, understanding my reason and isn't pushing it.

This is one thing I love about Jon, he is a sweetheart under that tough exterior he has. I am lucky that I get to see and experience it. He kissed my head before he passed the stuff he was carrying to me before he turned and entered the locker room.

After a bit, Ben came out laughing with the other guys before he noticed me.

"What are you doing, sis?" He asked.

"Waiting on Jon," I answered with a smile.

"You going to be hanging with him?" He asked.

"You know it," I laughed.

"I should have known," he chuckled.

"Well, what do you expect, little brother?" I asked laughing. "I haven't seen that crazy lunatic in a while, so I don't know what more you'd expect."

"So, what are you two planning on doing?" He asked.

"Going to get a few drinks," I answered. "We want to catch up some more and all."

"Okay, just be careful, please sis," he begged.

"I will, little bro," I said as I patted his shoulder. "Now, go hang out with friends, okay? Have fun."

He laughed before he left with his friends. Then, a few minutes later, Jon came out looking good as always, wearing worn-out blue jeans, biker boots, and a plain black tee with a very familiar leather jacket over it.

"Are you done checking me out?" He asked with a chuckle.

I felt my cheeks heat up, letting me know I was blushing.

"Sorry Alpha, I couldn't help it," I said shyly. "How can I not? My god, have you seen yourself? You're a hunk."

He chuckled.

"Especially in that leather jacket," I added, "which I still can't believe you have."

"Well, one of my favorite people gave it to me and I do make it look good," he smirked.

"That you do, honestly," I giggled. "You can pull off leather better than a lot of people."

"Thanks, now let's go, we can go to the bar at the hotel I am staying at and you can crash in my room with me."

He put his arm around me and grabbed the same stuff he was carrying. We walked towards the exit and continued talking.

"Did you drive here or get a ride here?" I asked.

"I drove here in a rental," he answered before asking. "Do you need a ride?"

"Yes, please," I answered. "I rode here with my old man. I just got to message him about having a ride and where I'm going so he won't worry."

Speak of the devil, I saw both of my dads talking to each other near the exit, assuming they were waiting for me.

"Or I could just tell them in person," I chuckled and so did Jon.

Bruno decided to make our presence known by barking, causing them both to look up toward the sound and see all three of us before smiling. We all approached each other before Dad spoke up.

"I see you didn't waste any time," he nods toward Jon while looking at me, causing us to laugh.

"What? I missed him," I defended, causing them both to laugh again.

"Great to see you again, Crazy Ass," Da expresses with his hand out for Jon, who laughs while accepting the handshake.

"Great to see you too, Big Mac," he replies before glancing at Papà. "Same to you also."

He smiles in return before I let them know what is going on.

"We were about to head to a bar to celebrate, and I may stay the night with him, too."

"Alright, be safe," Da said before he hugged me and kissed me on the head; "and be careful."

"Have fun," Papà said before kissing my cheek. "Please keep her safe, Jon."

"Always do, sir," he promised, which he always kept no matter what.

We shared our goodbyes for the night and began heading off with Bruno by our side. We get Jon's car with our luggage and begin to head off. During the ride, I decided to check my phone for any messages. I saw that two different people had messaged me, the first being my good ol' pal, Zypher.

Sparkles: Hey girl!!! Great first show tonight! Lovin' the vibes y'all are bringing!

I laughed a little while reading it before replying.

Tiny Bestie: Thanx dude! I can't wait for u to join

Sparkles: Girl, same! As much fun I'm having with Truth and Seth, and especially making the old fart my prankster bitch, I'm counting down the days when my contract is up. I miss the competitive drive and the fierce matches. I need to make a change soon

I barked out a laugh that almost scared Jon, but he laughed himself when I explained what Zypher messaged.

Tiny Bestie: Lmao u will soon enough. BTW, I'm riding with Jon for the night and he says hi

Sparkles: Mmmm better save some of him for me or I'm telling Renee ;)

Tiny Bestie: XD Shut up u know it's not like that

Sparkles: Hehehe jk. Tell the lunatic I said hi back and you two kids be safe. I'll give ur brother a shout-out and let u 2 enjoy ur time together

Tiny Bestie: Lol thanx Z love u, dude

Sparkles: Love u 2 sis ♥️

I then checked the other messages I had received, smiling when I saw that they were from Darby.

Sam: Hey Rach. Just wanted to say that the show was as amazing as I knew it would be and I cannot wait for my first match in it. Hope u and ur brother had fun with it too

For some reason, my heart leaped from reading his text. I smiled joyfully before responding.

Rach: Glad u enjoyed it. I can't wait either. See u there 😄😁

After sending that, I felt the car come to a stop. I looked up and saw that we were at the hotel I am guessing he was staying at. I put away my phone as we both got out of the car and went to grab our bags from the car, he still helped with mine.

We walked into the hotel, making some small talk and catching up some more until we got to his room. He set the stuff down to retrieve his key and once it was opened, we walked in. I saw that there was one bed, which was fine since I am used to sharing. Plus, I am a major cuddle bug.

"Well, I am glad Renee knows and is okay with me sharing a bed with you," I joked.

He chuckled.

"Yeah," he agrees, "she's awesome like that."

"That she is," I agreed. "Most women nowadays aren't okay with that type of stuff. Hell, I know some might not even have the type of relationship we do."

He nods.

"They are a bunch of pussies," he says.

I nodded in agreement.

"Well, let's go and get drunk," he says.

I laughed and shook my head at his antics. We both left the room to the bar and we had a fun night celebrating together.

Now on to the next event called Fyter Fest and this will be the one where Darby makes his debut to face off against Cody. I have been bouncing around all month waiting for this match and to see how Darby will fare against the American Nightmare. I find it funny how this all started with me and Cody watching a match of his together before endorsing him. Now, I'm getting to witness a match between the two of them in one of our inaugural events. Funny enough, I'm looking forward to that match even more than my brother's, not taking anything away from his, or even Jon's first match, which will be the main event and unsanctioned against Joey Janela. Of course, I haven't gotten to see too many of Darby's matches, and now that I get to photograph his first in AEW, I feel honored. I'm ecstatic to see how it goes.

I decided to wait outside for Darby's arrival at the stadium and Ben was nice enough to join me, even though he didn't have to.

"Don't worry, I'll have plenty of time to prep and everything," he assured me after my latest expression of concern for him not yet getting ready for tonight. "Besides, I wanna welcome him to his first show too, you know? It's only right."

"Okay, okay," I laughed while holding up my arms in surrender. "So long as you get ready in time."

"Yes, mother..." He joked, which I stuck my tongue out at in return.

He then points down the driveway and says, "I think that's him."

I followed the direction he gestured to and saw a rental car pulling up. It parked in a secluded spot before I could make out two figures in the front seats. The car shuts off before the driver's door opens, then out steps the daredevil himself.

"Sup, guys!" He greets us with a grin.

"Hey, Darby!" Ben responds.

"Hey, Sam!" I followed as we both approached him.

"It's great to see you guys again," he complimented with handshakes for both of us.

"Same to you," I nod. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling great, feeling ready for my first match here," he says with absolute determination, which I love.

"Same here, man!" Ben grins. "We're excited to see it, especially her; she's hardly been able to contain herself."

I playfully slapped his arm, causing both men to laugh. Our attention is then snatched away by the passenger door opening. Then, out steps a familiar bombshell of a woman with dyed hair. She walks around with her purse and a bag before joining us, looking between us with surprise.

"And this is my wife, who you two may have heard of as well, Priscilla Kelly," Sam introduces.

We both grow surprised that this is his wife.

"Priscilla Kelly?" I repeated.

"Yeah, we do know you," Benjamin half-grinned. "You were in the Mae Young Classic."

Priscilla laughs with a slight blush.

"Yes, that's right, and we actually met once during that," Priscilla noted.

"I remember," he nodded while shaking hands with her as well.

"So, Daniel Dalton is the one you wouldn't tell me about?!" She questions her husband, causing him to laugh.

"Yes, and here's the one I have told you about, Racheal," he gestures to me and Priscilla looks at me with sudden realization.

"Wait, I've seen you before too... you were one of the photographers back then, weren't you?"

I chuckled nervously.

"Yes, I was."

"And you two are related?" She asked with shock, likely noticing the obvious differences between us.

"Well, not by blood," Ben noted, "but still family all the same."

"Aww, well, it's nice to officially get acquainted with you," she politely says while shaking my hand.

"Likewise," I tell her.

"And thank you for all you've done for him," she nods to her husband. "It really has meant so much to him."

"It was my pleasure, anything for a true talent," I proudly told her, but then rolled my eyes at the sound of Ben clearing his throat. "Yes, he recommended him too, so he deserves as much credit..." I added nonchalantly, resulting in a stupidly exaggerated grin to form on my brother's face.

Sam and his wife laugh at our interaction before Priscilla responds.

"Well, thank you both for everything."

Me and my brother graciously nodded.

"Alright, we gotta get our bags really quick" Darby noted before they both walked to the back of their car, opening the trunk to retrieve their luggage.

As they're doing that, Ben leans closer to me, speaking at a volume that only I can hear.

"The man got hitched with Priscilla Kelly... I need his secrets."

Once again, I roll my eyes at him.

We helped Sam and Priscilla with some of their luggage before walking alongside them to enter the stadium.

"So, Priscilla," I began to speak again, "you plan on signing here too?"

"I'm not sure yet," she answers with a wondrous smirk. "It just depends on how everything goes, what it's like here, stuff like that; but since you brought it up, how have you guys liked it here?"

"It's been great so far," Ben answered. "I mean, we loved NXT, but given how things are on the main roster over there, we very much prefer it over here."

"Agreed," I mentioned. "I don't even want to think about what that would've been like for us."

"Yeah, but at least Ze is doing OK there, for the most part at least," Ben added, which I also agreed with.

"Anyway, let's show you both around a little," I suggested to the marital couple, which they grew excited about.

We walked around the stadium as Benji and I introduced the two to some of the staff and crew backstage along with many of the other talents they would be working with. He was very professional and seemed to get along with everyone well enough, which made me happy. Then, after about an hour of walking around and talking with people backstage, we ran into Moxley all of a sudden.

"Hey, Fairy Godmother," I jokingly said, causing him to audibly laugh.

"Very funny," he half-grinned. "What're you two doing?"

"Showing the new recruit around," I answered while gesturing to Sam. "Jon Moxley, this is Darby Allin, who's facing Cody tonight, and his wife, Priscilla Kelly."

Jon grew a curious look.

"Darby Allin? I've heard some stuff about you. I think I've seen your work around the Indies a little. You're a big risk-taker, right?"

"Yes, that's right," Darby nodded before Ben added something.

"Honestly, ring-wise, you're a lot like Jeff Hardy, and I mean that in the highest compliment too."

I sadly hummed before saying, "I miss Jeffy."

Benjamin giggled before patting me on the shoulder.

"Me too, sis."

"Well, I look forward to seeing what you do here," Jon mentions to Sam, holding his hand out for him to shake.

"Thanks, same to you," he says while accepting the handshake.

Jon wished us all luck for the night, and we wished him back for his match, before leaving us back to ourselves. However, before we could continue walking, Darby brought up something.

"By the way, what was up with that Fairy Godmother thing?"

"Actually, I was wondering the same thing," Ben mentioned.

I laughed before answering.

"Just something he called himself after the last show when we were joking around."

"Jon calling himself a fairy godmother?" Benjamin wondered out loud. "That's something I never thought would happen."

The rest of us laughed.

"You'd have to be there to understand," I noted. "Now, come on. We need to finish showing you two around so we can start getting ready."

"Lead the way," Darby nodded before we continued our walk through backstage.

After finishing the tour for them, we all went our separate ways to start getting ready for the show.

Fyter Fest is going to be a spectacle and I cannot wait for what happens.

The Buy In, our version of a pre-show, kicked off with a few short matches that gave our online fans something fun to enjoy, including a pretty awesome three-way tag team match between SCU, Best Friends, and Private Party. I must say, I love the Best Friends, especially the guy that follows them around, Orange Cassidy.

The official show kicks off and everyone seems just as electric as they were for our first event. I was out there dressed in my all-dark colored crew member uniform to help blend with the surroundings and not steal attention away from the in-ring action. Depending on where I'm positioned, it can be a bit of a hassle having to stay hidden while crawling and sneaking around, especially with numerous excited wrestling fans scurrying around, but it's usually worth it. Plus, getting to feel the crowd's energy while being amongst them makes me feel like a fan again. It's always a great feeling.

The show begins with Christopher Daniels losing to a Japanese wrestler named Cima. Next was the only women's match on the card: a triple-threat match between Nyla Rose, Yuka Sakazaki, and Riho, who picked up the victory. Then, came my brother's match: a fatal four-way bout between himself, MJF, Jungle Boy, and Hangman Adam Page. He did amazing like always, working well with everyone as all four men worked to steal the show. Sadly, Hangman won in order to build momentum toward his future title match against Jericho. Nonetheless, he did amazing and teased further conflict with MJF.

Following this match was the one I had eagerly been awaiting. Next up is the match between Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin!

I made sure I was up close for this bout, wanting my own front-row seat while capturing all the moments that would unfold during this first-time-ever contest. After a brief little video package made for the match, Darby is the first to make his debut. Right away, I can tell the crowd is captivated by his appearance, demeanor, and all-around aura. I'll admit, I myself continue to be taken by his entrance, especially with his skateboard and the new song I had picked out for him, which I'm still so proud of. During his entrance down the ramp, he seems to shoot me a quick side glance, which only adds to the number of awesome photos I snap of him. He then enters the ring and does a few motions for the crowd before sitting in a corner in a way I thought adds to his mystique. Afterward, out comes Cody, accompanied by his wife, Brandi. I make sure to get some good shots of them walking together before Cody enters the ring. He does his poses for the crowd before removing his shirt, Brandi showing her support from ringside, and the match begins.

What follows is everything needed to showcase what a potential future star Darby Allin is. Yes, granted, most of it was him getting beaten down by Cody, but it was perfect for showing Darby's unstoppable and fearless nature. There were moments when he got to show his daredevil-like offense, his mat wrestling skills, and especially his unpredictable and aggressive side. In the end, he just barely survived as Cody landed his Crossrhodes but could not cover him in time before the time limit ran out. I was grinning from ear to ear because I knew how good that would look on Darby's part. I was so proud of Darby for his first match and appreciative of Cody for making him look like a tough little guy.

However, I was startled when after the match, Shawn Spears appeared out of nowhere to deliver what I could tell was an unprotected chair shot to Cody's head. I even managed to get a great shot of the exact moment when the chair collided with his head. It was pretty nasty and made me slightly regret the photo, but it did look cool. I did get a little concerned seeing Cody bleed from it afterward, but he gave me the sign that said he was good, which I felt proud of him for taking. I wish I could've followed him and Darby backstage to both check on and congratulate them, but there was still one more match I needed to stay for.

Not that I minded whatsoever. I've missed seeing Jon in the ring, and seeing him in there with a whole new getup was a thrilling experience in itself. Although even with that said, and even with how much I got used to the Lunatic Fringe, this was something else entirely. I have never seen Jon get this hardcore in a match before. If I'm being honest, it was a little scary. Even so, it was one hell of a chaotic match between him and Joey Janela. It got even crazier when Kenny Omega came out and attacked Moxley after the match. It got so crazy that Mox had to be escorted to the back, which I'm sure he was fine.

That concluded Fyter Fest and by all means, it was another fantastic show for our brand-new company.

(What do y'all think? I thought I update this story cause it has been a hot minute since I have and it is only fair and gives the other stories a little break. So please comment and like this chapter and give my fiancée Ben10thejoker a lot of credit for helping and searching how the matches went. Much love your Jokerpuddin.)
