Chapter 85) WrestleMania Preperations
It's been a few weeks since Ashley and I visited my parents and when I secretly bought the engagement ring with Ambrose. WrestleMania was around the corner next week and I was excited to finally claim back my championship that I never lost.
"Are you ready for Mania?" I asked.
"Kinda. I hate that I won't be able to take part in it this year." Ashley said with a frown.
"I know that you're upset about this, but I can help you get back into training once WrestleMania is over with for the year."
"I guess I can do that, sure." She huffed.
I pulled her into a hug with a smile on my face.
Deep down, I was scared of Ashley getting injured again and going through a third coma. I was going to help her train for the first time in almost a year after she woke up and gained her memory back, but I wanted to give her some time to adjust fully to her whole memory making its return.
Ashley had tons of ring rust after not being able to compete and after I propose to her, I planned on helping her get back inside of the ring so she's better than ever.
A week passed and it was almost time for WrestleMania the following day. I've been hitting the gym with Ambrose and Ziggler, and also helping Ashley out with the weights over the past week. I felt terrible that she wasn't able to compete like she wanted, but I knew the moment I propose to her would make her the happiest woman alive.
"Hey dude, are you excited on your match with Brock tomorrow night?" Ziggler asked.
I shrugged. "Kind of."
"I know he's going to kick ass and win the title. I have a pretty good feeling that he's going to win." Ambrose interrupted.
"I hope so." I grinned, looking down at my hand after pulling out my engagement ring for Ashley. "This is going to be one of the best moments of my entire life."
"Dude! Is that what I think it is?" Ziggler said in shock.
I nodded with a smile.
"Yeah. I'm proposing to my girl after my match."
"Congratulations! I know she's going to accept and I'm hoping that you win your match tomorrow too." Dolph said.
"Thank you, Dolph." I put the ring back in my pocket. "I'm gonna check up on Ashley."
I wandered around the gym and seen Ashley speaking with Sasha and Eva for the first time in awhile.
"Hey babe!"
"Hey." I smiled. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything, but I wanted to ask if you wanted me to help you train after we're finished."
"I'd love to! I was just catching up with Sasha and Eva for awhile."
"I really missed you, Ashley. It's been forever since we caught up for lost time!" Eva said.
She smiled. "It's been forever but I'm so happy to have my full memory back."
"I am, too. I'm gonna get ready for my Takeover match tonight. Are you guys coming?" Sasha asked.
"Of course! I wouldn't miss it for the world!"
"I'll see you and Roman then?" She asked.
"We'll be there!" Ashley said.
Fast forward, NXT Takeover was incredible to watch. Everyone gave it their all and Sasha's match was outstanding. After we left the arena, we went back to the hotel and I couldn't wait for WrestleMania tomorrow.
The next day approached. I woke up and prepared for the biggest pay-per-view that WWE has to offer, WrestleMania. Not only am I winning the championship, but I'm also proposing to Ashley in front of millions of fans. Ashley went to hang out with her friends and I went to see Ambrose. Nervous, I carried the ring with me and walked into Ambrose's locker-room.
"What's up, buddy?"
"Nervous."
I sat down on the steel chair and looked down at the ring in the palm of my hand, trembling.
"Still proposing to your girl after your match?"
"Yeah." I replied.
"Don't be nervous, Rome."
"What if she doesn't want to get married for awhile?"
"Dude, chill out. You know she's going to accept."
I took a deep breath and released it slowly with the ring still in my hand, looking over at Ambrose.
"Thank you. I'm gonna prepare for my match tonight, and I have to give you something."
I gave him the ring and his eyes started to widen. "Why are you giving me the ring, Rome?"
"I can't wrestle with it in my pocket, so I'm gonna give you a signal when I'm talking on the microphone after my match and I want you to walk down the ramp and present the ring in my hand in order for me to propose to Ashley in front of the whole WWE Universe."
"Will do, brother."
I left the ring with him and went back to my locker-room to work out and also prepare for my match against Brock Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania tonight.
WrestleMania felt like nothing but a mere fever dream. Winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and also proposing to the love of my life, everything felt like a fairytale, but it was a reality.
I looked down at the ground with a smile that reached from ear-to-ear. I couldn't wait to see the look on Ashley's face from the moment I ask her to marry me. I've never once thought of marriage with another woman until the night we met. Everything felt perfect and with Seth behind bars, I felt like things were turning out for the better between us.
While leaving the ring with Ambrose, I went to the locker-room and threw on my vest and gloves. I was more than ready to make this night worthwhile. Brock was in for a beating, and I was taking back what was rightfully mine. I couldn't wait for the future.
"WrestleMania. Here I come!" I said to myself.
