Monday night RAW 25th anniversary (2018)

Backstage

I stood in gorilla bouncing from foot to foot. My blood was pumping. I could feel the sweat dripping down my forehead. My nerves were shot and I was very nervous to say the least. I let out a deep breath before letting my eyes rest on the TV screen hanging in front of me.

Tonight was the night that I have been dreaming about since I was little girl. Tonight was the night that I am making my main roster debut in front of the sold out crowd of Brooklyn, New York. Tonight was the night I was going to prove not only to the world, the roster, the higher ups, and my dad but mainly to myself that I can carry on my family name that I can do this.

Dear Lord, please don't let me fall on my face.

In the ring

The show had just kicked off with Stephanie and Shane standing in the ring. They were addressing the WWE universe about the legacy that their father built.

 "And without this man there be no WWE, there would be no 25th anniversary, and there defiantly wouldn't be either of us" Stephanie said into the mic.

"So ladies and gentleman please welcome the CEO of the WWE, Our father. Vince McMahon" Shane yelled into the mic

Vince's entrance music hit causing not only the crowd but a few of us backstage to nod along and sing the lyrics. Watching Vince as he does his signature strut to the ring sent my nerves into overdrive again because it meant that my time was coming.

I felt a hand rest on the small of my back I threw a look over my shoulder and sent a small smile to Elias who winked at me before walking away taking a seat in one of the chairs.

"Hey remember to breathe that's the most important part" Sasha said giving me a tight hug

"She's right" Rose said walking up and standing next to me "You got this Shay. It's your time"

In the ring

"I got one person to thank and it's not any of you people, it's not my family, and it's not anyone in the back. It's me!" Vince yelled "This is all because of me"

The sound of glass breaking filled the arena followed by the largest crowd pop anyone ever heard Stone Cold Steve Austin made his way to the ring with that cocky smirk he was known for.

"It's Stone Cold" Michael yelled into the headset

"Oh it's about to get good" Booker said rubbing his hands together

"As good ole J.R would say business is about to pick up" Corey added

Steve climbed in the ring and stared at Vince as he babbled on before he threw Shane to the rattlesnake. He hit the stunner then turned and singled for two beers handing one to Vince before opening the other one and crashing them together causing beer to fly everywhere. Once his beer was gone he threw the can to the side and flipped Vince off then hit the stunner on him. He got down on the matt getting in his face before jumping to his feet.

Stephanie rushed in the ring to check on her family before standing up and getting in Stone Cold's face "How dare you" she yelled

Steve smirked at her before feeling a hard slap go across his face followed by a few more. He simply took a step back smirking at her and pointing to the top of the ramp.

I'm your dream girl, this is real love but you know what they say about me that girl is a problem, girl is a problem.

The entire crowd jumped to their feet screaming and cheering. I tried to hide the smile on my face and to stay in character.

"Oh my God, It's Shaylee Austin" Corey Graves yelled into the mic

"What is she doing here?" Booker asked

"Well she is the daughter of Stone Cold and I have a feeling she isn't too happy with Stephanie slapping her father" Cole told him

"She is the hottest thing to come of NXT right now this is going to be good" Corey said

I walked down the ramp mumbling under my breath the entire time before finally climbing up the side of the apron and wiping my boots on the outside before going through the ropes.

 I got in her face as she yelled at me. I looked over her shoulder and smirked at Stone Cold before throwing to middle fingers up and hitting a stunner on her.

 I grabbed a beer from Steve. We hit them together downed them not caring that most of it ended up on us. We both climbed the ropes and threw two fists in the air.

"Austin, Austin, Austin" the crowd chanted

We walked up the ramp stopping at the top took one last look at the crowd before raising our hands and walking through the curtain.

"Welcome to the main roster Ms. Austin" Brian said hugging me

"Yes Welcome" Elias said giving me a hug "Me and you tonight" He whispered in my ear before giving my butt a light squeeze.

"Oh I get to walk with Elias?" I said pulling back smiling at him. He winked at me before walking away.

"Yay" Sasha said jumping up and down "Sasha Vs Shaylee. Boss vs Austin. Ugh I can see the headlines now. The greatest women's match of all time" she said throwing her hands in the air.

"Well maybe but I feel like Hardcore Rose vs Shaylee Austin sounds pretty good too. You know Triple H vs Stone Cold part 85" Rose said

"Hey what about me" Bayley said walking up.

"Ladies there is more than enough of me to go around so how about we all just make history together" I told them.

"Sounds good" they all said in unison. I shook my head laughing at all three of them.

"Too Sweet us sister" Luke and Karl said holding up their hands.

"That was freaking awesome Shay" Finn said giving me a hug before wrapping his arms around Sasha's waist.

"It was huh" I said "I appreciate all of the love guys but I reek so I'm going to go hop in the shower and I will find ya'll after"

I walked down the hall to the women's locker room getting stopped along the way as other stars and crew members offered congratulations. Once I rounded the corner and seen the hall was completely empty I stopped for a second and let out a deep breath that I had been holding all night. I jumped up and down and squealed like a school girl.I did it. I Shaylee Morgan Austin just made my official main roster WWE debut and it was everything I ever hoped for and just the way I imagined it.

Feeling two arms wrap around my waist brought me out of my thoughts."I am so proud of you" Colby's said into my ear

"Thanks Fish" I said pulling to the side and looking up at him "Be honest though was it really as good as people are saying? I'm terrified to look at twitter. Wrestling twitter is a scary place" I told him as I rubbed circles on the back of hands.

"That's true" he said laughing "But yes Shaylee you were as good as everyone is telling you. Matter of fact that has to be the second best main roster debut in history" he added

"Who's the first?" I asked rolling my eyes because I already knew the answer he was about to give.

"The shield of course but that's because yours truly was a part of it" he said placing his hand over his heart with a sly smile.

"You're so damn cocky" I said pushing out his arms

"You love it" he said smiling

"All jokes aside Shaylee you absolutely killed it and made your best friend and your dad very proud"

"Thanks Fish" I said kissing his cheekI opened the locker room door before he grabbed my arm turned me back around.

"Oh I was told to tell you were going out tonight to celebrate" Colby said

"Colbs" I said crossing my arms against my chest.

"Uh huh" he said wagging his finger back and forth "No if, and's, or buts about it. You're going and that's the bottom line because Seth Rollins said so"

"Watch yourself before I sue you for gimmick infringement" I told him with a pointed look.

"Pot calling the Cattle black" he said shaking his head at me

"Screw you" I said walking into the locker room

"Hurry up stinky" he yelled before walking away.

I grabbed my shower bag and rid myself of my beer soaked clothes. I stepped into the shower allowing the hot water to cascade down my body washing away the sweat, the tears of joy, and the beer. Letting my mind drift off to how I got here tonight.
