Announcer- And now WWE, presents with sponsorship from KFC and Rocket League, THE ROYAL RUMBLE!!!

The camera pans into the Wells Fargo Center with thunderous fans waiting for some good old fashioned wrestling.

Michael Cole: And coming off the heels of an amazing NXT Takeover: Philadelphia last night, the Road to WrestleMania is set to kick off in tremendous fashion. Hello everyone I'm Michael Cole joined by Corey Graves and Byron Saxton and we welcome you to the Royal Rumble.

Backstage...

Trevion had been discussing things with Kevin, Sami, AJ, Shane and Daniel about the run-in Trey would do to introduce him to the main roster and as a member of SmackDown Live..

Shane: So AJ you'll eat a superkick from Kevin and you'll be stunned but not before hitting the Pele Kick stunning you both. Now as Kevin is making his way towards Sami...

Daniel: Trevion you'll come out of the WWE Universe and pluck Sami off the ropes and then Sami.

Sami: I was thinking of you and I just brawling outside the ring and I whip into the steel steps but you'll reverse and it'll be me going in. Then you'll clear one of the announcer tables and you'll put me through it.

Kevin: Meanwhile I'll play as if I'm in shock and AJ would've gained consciousness again and you'll mouth turn around and AJ will hit the Phenomenal Forearm for the 3-count for the win.

AJ: Then you and I will have a 2-sweet moment and do the "Bullet Club"

Trevion: Sounds like a plan... Anyway Shane and Daniel any idea where I'm entering the Royal Rumble?

Shane and Daniel answer in unison

Both: 23.

Trevion: Alright thanks for meeting me for a run-down of everything, now I gotta go stretch. Later guys.

Trevion's POV

As continued to get my gear which donned the combination colors of the NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles and the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers on, I had ran into many greats from Trish Stratus, Lita, Shawn Michaels just to name a few. Then, a pair of soft delicate hands covered my eyes.

Trevion: There's only one person who'd do something like that to me. And that'd be my lovely girlfriend.

And true enough, Trevion turned around to see Cassie clad in her ring gear with her signature Iconic Duo cut-off tee.

Cassie: I'd hope so, what's going on with you?

Trevion: Just stretching around preparing for my run-in with Kevin and Sami... What number do you and Jess enter?

Cassie: Well my ridiculously handsome and amazing boyfriend, you'll just have to find out....

Trevion looks at Cassie who has stopped talking and is concerned for her.

Trevion: Cass you okay?

Cassie:...

Trevion turns around sees the person that had his girlfriend dead in her tracks... her ex Ron aka Tye Dillinger.

Ron: Hey Cassie

Cassie: Ron.

Trevion: Cassie, who is this?

Cassie: Trevion, this is my ex-boyfriend Ron who everyone knows as Tye Dillinger another SmackDown Live superstar (mutters) and the bane of my existence.

Trevion: Hey dude, the name's Trevion but as Cassie just said everyone just calls me Tre or my ring name Alex Thunder.

Trevion tries to offer his hand to him, however Ron rudely bats his down.

Ron: Whatever, hey Cassie why don't we ditch this loser and hang out tonight?

Cassie: Really, Ron that's your attempt to apologize to me? After what you did to me??

Trevion: I sense some tension between the two of you so I'm gonna leave.

Cassie grabs his hand and he notices her pleading eyes and he stays for her sake.

Cassie: What I didn't tell you PIECE OF SHIT, is that I found someone a whole hell of a lot better than you. Someone who treats me with respect, compassion, shows me affection, and spoils me just for the hell of it. And I'm happy to say that the person who's responsible for all that... is the man you see before you. (Cassie proceeds to take Trey's face and plant a delicate, yet very passionate kiss on and proceeds to her bite her lip after the kiss) That's right my new boyfriend is Trevion.

Trevion: Wait he cheated on you??? Guess that doesn't make him "The Perfect Ten" More the like "The Perfect Zero"!!!

Trevion and Cassie share a good laugh and Ron is at this point angry

Ron: Whatever what does it feel like to have my sloppy seconds?

Trevion and Cassie look at each other and surprisingly she doesn't look hurt at all from his cruel remark. However, Trevion gets face to face with Ron.

Tre: Listen buddy, you're a good wrestler there's no disputing that,but tell me exactly what have you done since you've been on the main roster. You haven't done a damn thing, you haven't won a single title since you've been in WWE and you haven't gotten a single push and when you have been used, you were used as cannon fodder for Baron Corbin or AJ Styles and let's not forget Jinder Mahal. So don't cross me again and if you ever refer to Cassie to that again I'm gonna bury your punk ass and I ain't using no golden shovel... What am I saying I could do it tonight. So get to squawking "Perfect 10".

Ron takes off seeing the dark nature that Trevion was referring to and another person approaches behind. It's Jessica.

Jessica: Jeez, remind me never to piss off Trevion.

Trevion: Come on you've seen me angry before Jessica.

Jessica: Yeah but you just ran into Ron... He's got a history of pissing people off and throwing them off their game if he's got a match with them.

Trevion: Thanks for letting me know. Now I know what I'm dealing with in the Rumble. Anyway I gotta get going for my run-in against Kevin and Sami. Bye ladies. (Trey kisses Cassie on the cheek and gives Jess a sibling-like hug)

Cassie: Man I got it good.

Jessica: Yeah you do Cassie, I'm glad to see my sis is happy again!!

Cassie: Come on lets go watch the match.

Cassie, Jessica and several women including Nia, Lexi, Becky, and Charlotte had surrounded the monitor as they watched the WWE Championship match.

Michael Cole: AJ trying to battle back here against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn but the numbers game continues to affect the Phenomenal One.

Corey: You gotta wonder if the Champ is regretting his decision to face the two best friends here.

AJ proceeds to eat a superkick from KO, however AJ retaliates with his signature Pele Kick to bring the title to stalemate.

Byron: Maybe AJ can get a reprieve guys.

Cole: Owens trying to get to his corner to tag in Zayn.... Wait wait what is this, What's going on?? OH MY GOD Guys Zayn is being assaulted by a mystery assailant!!!

Backstage:

Charlotte: Who's attacking Sami??

Cassie: You'll see Ash...

(Charlotte and the others look at her perplexed ; Jessica having been filled in on the situation isn't focused on that rather on the monitor)

Back in the arena...

Trevion has revealed his identity to the whole stadium and its occupants.

Corey: OH MY GOD GUYS THATS ALEX THUNDER!!!

Cole: ONE OF THE HOTTEST SUPERSTARS IN WWE TODAY!!!

Saxton: A former IWGP Heavyweight Champion and former Ring of Honor World Champion... Not to mention a former NXT Champion...

Cole: And taking the fight to Zayn and whips Sami into the unforgiving steel steps and guys I don't think the Thunderbolt is done yet.

Saxton: Guys, we might want to get out of here...

Corey notices that Thunder is clearing the announcer's table...

Corey: Oh NO NO!!! Alex don't do this ....

Alex ignores this and turns to Sami and whispers...

Alex: I'm gonna Powerbomb you; you ready?

Sami nods and Alex proceeds to perform a Jackknife Powerbomb to Sami through the table while Saxton calls it.

Saxton: MY GOD Through The Table!!!

Thunder then turns to Kevin who's playing as if he shocked and Thunder mouths "turn around " and at that very moment AJ nails the Phenomenal Fore-arm.

Referee: 1! 2! 3!

DING DING DING!!!

Announcer: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND STILL THE WWE CHAMPION!!! THE PHENOMENAL AJ STYLES!!!!!!

The place erupts with cheers and the chants of "THUNDER" "HIGH VOLTAGE" fill the arena.

Then as referee hands AJ his title, Alex Thunder heads into the ring with Styles for what seems to be an intense stare down and the fans are eating as they know both Styles and Thunder were a part of the infamous "Bullet Club" and of course it warranted the chants of the name just mentioned and they performed the illustrious "Too Sweet" gesture and the crowd absolutely lost it. Then the two headed backstage.

AJ: Good to have you back brother.

Trevion: Thanks but you better keep that title close... who knows I might just win the Rumble and I will give you the fight of your life.

AJ: I'd couldn't imagine a better title fight and keep that confidence. You're gonna need it.

Trevion: Thanks AJ, now go rest up you look like shit fam.

AJ then leaves and Trevion is met with the smiling faces of his girlfriend Cassie and her best friend Jessica.

Cassie: Way to make an impact Hun!!

Trevion: Thanks babe... speaking of which, you ladies ready to make history.

Cassie: Yeah we're going to make this Women's Royal Rumble match.... ICONIC.

Jessica: We should just be honored that we're even in this match.

Trevion: If you ask me you two deserve this moment, nobody has earned this other than you two. Just have fun out there.

Cassie: I'm just so nervous...

Trevion kissed her delicately

Trevion: Hey even if you lose, you're always the winner of my heart. Now go out there and have fun and eliminate the competition.

Cassie's nervousness is then suddenly washed with over perseverance and determination.

Cassie: You're right thanks baby... come on Jessica lets go cause some mayhem.

Jessica nods and they take off for gorilla.

Time skip:
It had been almost 20 minutes in the Women's Royal Rumble Match. The occupants currently in the ring were Tamina, Mandy Rose, Liv Morgan, Lana, Naomi, Nia Jax and Billie Kay. Everyone had been working together to take out the biggest threat Nia who eliminated Sonya Deville, Sarah Logan, Carmella, and Dana Brooke.

Cole: We now find out who enters at No. 11....

The Buzzer sounded and Cassie's/Peyton's entrance music blared throughout the arena and the arena absolutely went into frenzy which was half surprising given her status as a heel but given how big a success she and Billie Kay were in NXT.

Graves: OH YESSS!!!! Now the Royal Rumble is finally fully Iconic... Peyton Royce is the eleventh entrant in the Women's Royal Rumble!!!

Saxton: This young woman has all the tools and the motor to go all the way in this type of match

Cole: She's battled the likes of Asuka, Liv Morgan, Ember Moon, and Nikki Cross and has even fought for the NXT'S Women's Championship.

Peyton went to work immediately, and took Liv out with her spinning leg lariat and took advantage of the stunned Jersey native and tossed her over the top rope for her first career elimination. She then joined Billie and the others in attempting to eliminate Nia but the powerful force of nature threw all comers off of her and just started going in taking out anything that moved. She eliminated Tamina, Lana and Mandy without any resistance. Peyton, Billie, and the others knew toppling the Irresistible Force would be tougher than advertised...

15 minutes later...

The Rumble had been still been going strong after struggling difficulty, the women had finally eliminated Nia when Sasha had dragged the beautiful wrecking ball to the top rope and everyone pitched in to kick her out of the match. Peyton had been very impressive in the match, however the Iconic superstars best friend , Billie Kay had been eliminated by Natalya when the Femme Fatale had went to the top rope and Nattie caught her with a vicious forearm and Kay took a nasty spill to the outside... For one of the few times in her WWE Career, Peyton was truly on her own. Right now she'd been battling with the woman responsible for eliminating her soul-sister and right now the vet had been getting the better of her. Just as Natalya looked to eliminate her as well, Peyton used her ring awareness and dragged the top rope and sent the Queen of Harts tumbling to the ground.

Cole: Peyton Royce has been very impressive here you guys

Saxton: We wondered how she would respond to the adversity of her best friend Billie Kay being eliminated and fare in this match and so far she's responded big time and has brought the big fight.

Graves: I have to admit I underestimated the Venus-Flytrap of WWE. Question how long can she keep this up?

27 minutes later:

Remaining Competitors: Bayley, Asuka, Sasha Banks, Trish Stratus, Nikki & Brie Bella, and Peyton Royce

Peyton's POV

This is hellacious, I mean praise go to me for surviving this freaking long but man I wish Billie were here to help me out maybe even the odds and who knows maybe it comes down to the two most Iconic Superstars. But damn my body was absolutely exhausted but I found my second wind when I locked eyes with both Alexa Bliss, the Raw Women's Champion and the SmackDown Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair and then I locked eyes with the WrestleMania 34 sign, a chance to head to Crescent City and not for another NXT Takeover where I find myself potentially losing another championship match. Hell no it's time I shock the world and show everyone who Peyton Royce really is. I started by taking out Bayley and I earned a decent amount of boos from my most recent action but hey its every woman for herself. Then I found myself being doubled-team by both the Bella Twins but I'm able to weasel my way out and perform a double clothesline on both siblings and I came face-to-face with one of my inspirations perhaps the GOAT of this generation in THE Trish Stratus. She and I traded blows but she quickly got the upper hand and looked to deliver Stratusfaction but I regained my faculties and tossed the Hall of Famer over the top rope. Mean-while Asuka had just tossed Sasha and both twins over the top and my old-time rival and I came face-to-face. A woman that has arguably made a better wrestler every time I've faced her in the ring... the fans were eating up the sight they saw before them. The Empress and the Venus Goddess. We went at it and she delivered her signature hip toss attack and stunned me, she tried to send over the top but I take her with me and we landed on the apron and continued to fight though we were cautious of our surroundings as any one mistake could lead to one of us falling off. I hit her with a punishing forearm and she retaliated with a back fist but I caught her with another forearm and stunned her momentarily and I took full advantage and swept her base from under her and Asuka fell off. The arena was stunned as was I before the announcer made it official .

Here is your winner of the Women's Royal Rumble Match... Peyton Royce!!!!!

Cole: SHE'S DONE IT!!! PEYTON'S GOING TO THE GRANDEST STAGE OF THEM ALL!!!

Saxton: I can't believe it, Peyton found a way to stave off the Empress of Tomorrow, and she's going to the big dance!!!

Graves: Royce lasted nearly an hour in this match from the No. 11 spot so to say she didn't claw and scratch for every elimination she had here tonight is pure blasphemy. Way to send your stock soaring through the atmosphere. Congratulations to Peyton Royce!!

The cameraman soon pans to Peyton who is pointing to the Fleur-Der-Lis-esque WrestleMania 34 sign as the pyrotechnics exploded throughout the arena

Backstage

Cassie heads backstage and is met with thunderous applause and soon is shaking the hands of the man who brought her to the business, Triple H.

Hunter: Congrats kid, way to go out there. I'm pretty sure the masses were shocked with your stunning victory not to mention the eliminations you racked up.

Cassie: Thanks sir, but was I really the first choice to win the match?

Hunter: Honestly Cassie, no we were going to go with Asuka but we figured a direction that'll benefit both the business and please the fans at the same time.

Cassie: Well that's cheeky but now I have to make sure I don't squander the opportunity.

Hunter: Exactly, but again congratulations and enjoy the moment. Now relax and watch the Men's Royal Rumble...

Cassie: I think I must just do that...

35 minutes later.

Cassie had been relaxing backstage with some fellow superstars who were also fixated on the Men's Royal Rumble match but right now she'd been scrolling through her Twitter and countless swarms of fans who were following her. Some were diehard fans who'd had been following since Day one and not when she signed her WWE Contract, some received her victory with lukewarm reception given the fact it was her first match on the main roster and some were angry because they felt thrusting a rookie into the frying pan like this would just ruin her career as is. But right now she was watching her boyfriend Trevion clean house as he already recorded 10 eliminations, most notably Andrade Almas, Finn Balor, The Miz, John Cena and Cassie's ex Tye Dillinger which mentally felt good for her. It had come down to Trevion, Shinsuke, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, and Elias. Trevion was currently working his way out of certain elimination against Elias and delivered a thunderous superkick and dumped the guitarist out of the ring for his eleventh elimination and was met immediately with Nakamura's knee taking out the Thunderbolt for the mean while.

Charlotte: I got to admit, Trevion has impressed me.

Becky: Isn't that your boyfriend Cassie?

Cassie: Yeah, that's my guy but right now he's gotta stay strong.

She winced as she witnessed Orton use his spiking DDT on Trevion. However, Trevion got the last laugh as he dumped Orton over the top rope then yanked Randy's neck causing WWE'S Apex Predator to fall to the ground. Meanwhile, Nakamura had just eliminated Reigns by tossing him over the top rope it had come down to Shinsuke and Trevion. They both stared at the WrestleMania sign and then each other going to war, ending with Trevion eliminating Shinsuke when he nailed Thunderbolt and clotheslined the King of Strong Style over the top rope. Cassie couldn't help but cheer for her significant other as he mixed it up with the fans.

As he headed backstage, Cassie wasted no time and jumping into his sweaty arms and kissing him passionately.

Trevion: Hey there pretty lady.

Cassie: Hey yourself, Rumble Winner.

Trevion: Hey I was going to say that to you... But seriously, words can't describe how ecstatic I am. Those fans really didn't help matters.

Cassie giggles and then she flashes a seductive and mischievous smile.

Cassie: Well since we're heading to New Orleans for WrestleMania, I say we go back to the hotel and Celebrate...

Trevion notices the seduction in voice and agrees very quickly.

Trevion: You don't have to tell me twice.

Trevion picks Cassie up bridal-style and after changing into their street clothes they went back to his hotel room and made sweet love to each into the wee hours of the next morning...

End of Chapter 4

First of all guys this is my own story and while I'm happy Asuka and Shinsuke won their respective Royal Rumbles I'm going with my own spin on the Road to WrestleMania.

Once again, big congratulations to the King of Strong Style and the Empress of Tomorrow!!!!
