Thanks to @kneepadthighhighs whose setup I'm totally jacking here, and thanks especially for all the Punk specific compilation DVDs.
I've finally ripped my current wrestling DVD/VHS/digital collection for your viewing pleasure, catalogue below cut. Collection will most likely continue to update, but there's never a guarantee it'll be up forever.
Link to Full Library
Last Update: 03/11/2025, 8:15:00 PM
I’ve linked the match cards (where applicable) so you can see if the file is worth the download. Links will take you to a folder and you may select files to download.
(If you open a folder and it includes a .MDS file, don’t worry about that as long as you’re not burning a dual layered physical disc. You don’t need it to view the .ISO file on a computer. Just download the .ISO and open with your media player of choice, it works like a DVD in a player. If it's an .MP4 or .MPG it'll play like a video.)
Come harass me if anything was mislabeled by accident or if a download link is broken or denies you access. I hope this goes to good use.

Chapter One: Challenges and Reminders
pairing: Cody Rhodes x Reader Rating: T for Teens Word Count: 5k Warnings: reader is a heel? Swearing ig and anxiety if you squint Synopsis You never thought you'd become someone people would recognize when you first started wrestling. You did it for the sport, and the fame was just a bonus for you. Always an Indie Darling, you worked every scene you could book yourself in. Every time you joined a new promotion, you bumped into him. It started in ROH when he joined as you were on your way out. In TNA, you were the women's champion when he arrived. In NJPW, you joined as he was getting ready to leave. As for AEW? He invited you personally, but you stayed after he left. But now? He was finishing his story in WWE, and you are just starting yours. Can the American Nightmare and Terror of the Industry coexist? Side notes: - There is a bit of crossover between another long-form I'm working on, Crystal is just the filler name - I know CM Punk's Twitter handle is coach something, but I don't use Twitter, and honestly, I just liked it better Banner made by me!

“Welcome to the royal rumble to anyone just now joining us; we are about an hour into the women's Rumble match with twenty-six women who have entered so far.”
“Entrant number twenty-seven is coming up soon, Cole; who is it gonna be?”
“Honestly, Patt, I have no idea, but whoever it is, they still have quite the challenge ahead of them.”

“YOU ALL DESERVE EACH OTHER"
Soft Spine by Spirit Box hit the area, and the crowd screamed in excitement. The Titantron flashes your ring name, accompanied by a video of previous matches and an overlay of horror clips. At the top of the ramp was none other than you. Dressed in your ring gear. Black pants with a strap and studded metal, paired with a matching halter top featuring a patchwork of different materials to create a texturally interesting top, available in black, red, and silver, perfect for your edgier persona. You stood at the entrance with a devilish smirk, soaking in the crowd's reaction, before you made your way to the ring.
“Oh my god, Cole, that's (Y/R/N)! I can't believe they are here!” That's right, Wade; the number twenty-seven spot is none other than the woman who terrorizes every part of the industry (y/r/n)!”
One by one, the women fell until there was only one woman left in the ring. Sweaty and exhausted, the bell rings, and you collapse to your knees in the ring, alone but victorious. The referee helps you stand and holds your arm high, declaring you the winner, and you nod, pointing at the WrestleMania sign before blowing a kiss to the camera.
—
If someone had told you a year ago you'd leave AEW for WWE, you'd probably would have laughed. Not because you didn't believe them but more because you never thought WWE would ever be interested in the
Terror of the Indies.
Sure, you had been around for the Mae Young Classic and had competed in both. You were not what WWE was looking for at the time, and you were not where you wanted to be in your career. You still had so much to learn, and you couldn't gain the experience of the Indies if you signed. So that's what you did. You went out and traveled the world to achieve a wide range of experiences.
TNA
ROH
NJPW
AEW
You joined all sorts of promotions and stayed with them until you got what you wanted out of each of them. Sure, sometimes it was a title run, but it's not always about the gold; it's about the learning opportunities you got with each new promotion. Now, you must take it to the next level, showcase your skills, and continue to improve in WWE. So when the opportunity came to switch companies, you didn't hesitate. You had expected to debut in NXT or on a random episode of Raw or Smackdown. What you hadn't expected was to be booked for Rumble weekend, and you were not expecting to be booked to win, either. Not that you'd turn down the dream debut. But debuting was half the battle. Now you had to keep the fans wanting more of you.
YOU ALL DESERVE EACH OTHER
The crowd erupted in cheers as your theme hit. The lights came up, blinding you momentarily. Your pyro lit the stage up even more as you walked down the ramp in a saunter, waving at fans and high-fiving some, but for the most part, you had a somber expression on your face. Keeping the fans guessing if you were a good guy or a bad guy, for now. You walked to the side of the ring and hopped up, so you sat on the apron for a moment and waved at the camera before standing up and stepping into the ring. The lights returned to normal, and your music faded into the background. You were then handed a microphone. You were live. You couldn't even talk right away because the fans were chanting.
You belong here
Soaking in their chants for a few seconds, you smile, let out a small laugh, and grab a mic from the corner that was waiting for you. “I appreciate the warmest of welcomes, so thank you.” you gave a mock salute. “I know you guys have been waiting for me, and honestly? It's about damn time I turned up. Triple H was taking his time to sign me.”
The crowd let out a loud boo at that snide comment.
You smile and shrug your shoulders apologetically, “ok, ok, settle down. I ain't mad about H taking his time. He needed to save me for when it mattered most, you know? Look. I've been in the game for a long time, having fought a wide range of wrestlers, including men, women, and non-binary individuals. You name them, I've probably fought and beaten them.”
“Jade Cargill,” The crowd cheers.
“Kairi Sane.” the crowd cheers again.
“Toni Storm,” the crowd cheers again.
A devilish smirk crossed your face as you pointed to the mania sign. “Here's the thing. I came to WWE for one thing and one thing only. To take it to the women's division and destroy it. I've spent a long time clawing my way to the top, and I will not let this opportunity pass. Royal Rumble was just the start. All those women… 29 women who, on a technicality, lost to me. Don't worry, you'll get your turn to lose to me properly. Elimination Chamber, I can only hope to get my hands dirty against anyone in that locker room.”
The crowd started to cheer and start chanting your name loudly, forcing you to take a moment and soak in the crowd's chants before leaning down to the mic in your hand. “Oh, I'm not done, ladies and gentlemen. When WrestleMania comes, I'm taking someone's title; it might be Rhea's, or it might be Tiffy's. I haven't decided yet. Just know, Ladies, it doesn't matter who the title I take; one by one, the women's division will fall. You've been warned.” With that, you let the mic slip through your fingers and hit the mat as you turn to exit the ring.
As if you'd be so lucky to escape the calculated timing of the Women's World Champion, as the mic hit the mat, Rhea Ripley's music hit as she came down the ramp looking like a woman on a mission with the women's championship in her hands. She wasted no time getting into the ring and squared up with you, holding the title over your head with that cocky smirk the world knew so well. “You want it, come get it,” she taunts loud enough for the camera to pick up.
You didn't back down from the challenge, and you squared up with her, “I'm not afraid of you; if I want it, I'll come get it.”
“Is that a threat (y/r/n)?” Rhea cocked one eyebrow at you as she drew closer, so you and she were practically nose to nose.
The tension was thick between you two, and the crowd was half chanting for Rhea and half chanting for you.
You give Rhea your signature smile before brushing past her knocking shoulders. “That's a promise.”
With that, you stepped out of the ring and jumped down from the apron. Walking backward up the ramp, your music playing as you waved at her in a sarcastic motion. Once you hit the top of the ramp, you didn't point to the sign, but you stared Rhea down before disappearing behind the curtain. You walked backstage through the gorilla, looking around to find Your boss, Triple H, to check with him on how ratings were during your segment. You spotted him at a monitor with a headset on in the dark space. You walked over to watch the monitor over his shoulder silently until he took his headset off, signaling the all-clear to talk.
“That was good (y/n); people like the
Terror of the Industry
persona you have. And I'm glad to finally have you officially on board.” Hunter held out his hand for you to shake. He wasn't smiling, but you could feel the pride exuding from him in the dark.
You shook his hand with a firm nod, “Glad to be here for once. The Classic was fun, but being able to work the scene? I'm excited about the ride. Though I'm surprised you're putting me over, to begin with.” you looked up as Rhea entered gorilla and as The New Day went out. Rhea waved at you, and you raised your hand back, mouthing and hopefully conveying you’d come to find her. She seemed to get the message and walked out, either to conduct a backstage interview or grab a snack, probably both.
Hunter glances over his shoulder at you, “You're the biggest name on the scene right now; I would be an idiot not to push you. Besides, you got the terror of the industry thing going,” he sounded amused.
You were less amused by that and more annoyed. “I came because it was the right move for me.” your jaw clenched as you looked around. As if looking for no hope to avoid something or someone.
Hunter frowns, looking at the monitor now, “Looking like your afraid boogie man is gonna pop out at you (y/n). Don't worry, he's not gonna hurt you.” Triple H teased you, but the conversation was cut short as he put the headset back on and gave directions over the mic.
You took the hint and headed backstage properly and headed straight for the locker room. You went straight to your locker and sat down in front of it, grabbing your phone from your bag and checking for messages, some from family, others from close friends. Your favorite was some tweets you'd gotten tagged in.
It wasn't long before a shadow loomed over you; you could see the squeaky clean black boots and looked up to see Rhea towering over you, arms crossed, looking down at you with a disapproving look. But that expression quickly faded as she pulled you off the bench and gave you a bear hug, lifting your feet off the ground. “you could have texted me you were signing!”
You had known Rhea for a while now. She was friends with one of your best friends, Crystal, who was also on Raw. She was a young girl with strong morals and values. So, naturally, Rhea felt compelled to corrupt the innocent child. Instead, it leads to a deep bond. Crystal introduced you to Rhea at Backlash in 2021 since you were in the States for Double or Nothing (2021). Crystal felt you two would be fast friends, and she wasn't wrong. You and Rhea were like the devil and Satan on Crystal's shoulders. But that's what made your bond with Rhea and Crystal so strong, even if you were across the globe at some indie promotion they had never heard of before. Still, during all of the talks and meetings and everything else that happened up to you getting here, you hadn't really talked to anyone about coming to SmackDown. Unfortunately, Rhea was one of the victims.
“I'm sorry, Rhea, I had to keep quiet about my debut. I wanted to tell you, but I also really wanted to surprise you.” you gave her an apologetic smile. “But I'm here now! I finally did it, and you can now finally say I told you so.”
Rhea let out a chuckle, rolling her eyes, “Yeah, yeah, I told you so. So…” you thought she would set you down now, but instead, she just hoisted you up more. “We should raid catering while we can. The guys on this roster are absolute menaces- I watched Otis eat an entire rack of ribs by himself once. It was glorious and mildly unsettling.” Rhea set you down, grabbing her phone from her locker. “Since I know you didn't eat before your promo,” she added, walking out the door.
You roll your eyes, but she wasn't wrong, though. “I could use a bite,” you laugh, putting your phone in your pocket, hurrying to keep up with Rhea's long strides toward catering. The two of you grabbed a quick bite before sitting down at a random empty table. For the most part, you and Rhea discussed personal topics, such as your parents and how you were adjusting to the WWE's life of travel, which was quite different from the structure of AEW, where you had been for the past three years, allowing for comfortable and easy conversation.
Suddenly, your vision went dark. Not because you were dying or anything, but because someone was covering your eyes.
“Guess who.” a gruff older male voice spoke from above you.
You recognized that cranky old man's voice even if you were asleep. You turn, looking up at the one and only CM Punk.
“Hey, old man.” you nudge him and pull the chair out from next to you so he can sit with you. “Thought you'd die or something before coming back here. Or is this the darkest timeline thing?”
Punk rolled his eyes as he sat down next to you, “Yeah, yeah, say what you want, pipsqueak, but you're here too, so that means that we both died, and we are in squirrel hell or dog heaven. Take your pick.”
You put on your most serious thinking face before nodding, “It's both, definitely both.” you crack a smile at him. “Where's Cry?” you looked around, but you hadn't seen her.
Both Punk and Rhea sigh, “Probably fighting with Liv.”
You nod, “Oh right, that's a thing, isn't it… welp, it's Cry, she knows how to fend for herself.” You lean back in your chair, arms crossed, one leg over the other.
Rhea sighs and nods, “Actually, speaking of settling things- have you decided who you want to fight at Mania?”
You nod solemnly; you had indeed decided that between Rhea and Tiffany Stratton. Going after Rhea would elicit a bigger reaction and be more of a sell compared to a match between you and Tiffany. Yes, if you won against Rhea, it would push you and let you go on an Auska-level win streak; you couldn't help but think about what would happen if you were to lose at Mania - who would benefit more. You would just be a win for Rhea; it wouldn't give her any sort of push afterward. However, if Tiff wins, it would help cement her main roster status. Plus, you knew you could help launch that kid's career to the moon; the push would be monumental for her.
The silence was heavy as both Punk and Rhea looked at you concerned.
“(y/n)? You alright?”
You nod and smile at them both, “Yeah, I've decided that it best if I went to Smackdown for Tiffany's title, not that I don't love seeing you two every day, I just think that pushing Tiffany is better overall.” it was a sound argument. Neither of them could argue that with you. But the elephant in the room hung heavy.
“Are you sure about this?” Punk leaned back in his chair, mimicking how you were sitting but resting his hand near his chin. His eyes were watching you, studying you for any sort of hesitation. His jaw clenched, “because if you are not even 100 percent on this-”
You raise both of your hands, “I promise it's what I want. Besides, I'm only there to work, you know?”
Rhea frowns, leaning forward, her chin resting on her hands, as her elbows are propped up on the table. “I trust you, but if shit goes sideways- you call me. Understood?” her gaze unwavering, waiting for you to say you would.
You nod. “I promise. Now, as much as I love seeing you two, I do have a plane to catch. I'll text you two when my plane lands.” And with that, you got up and left the catering.
“Think she will be ok?”
“God, I hope so.”
—
The rest of your week flew by. You didn't wrestle any house shows since you were meant to keep up the winner of the Royal Rumble, and they didn't want you to overdo it before Mania in two months. Instead, they kept you busy with meetings with the creative team and the seamstresses about ring gear design and merchandise for your brand, all tedious for you since you hadn't had to do any of this before, or well, in quite a while. Your brand was simple: Chaos incarnate. You wore black and had a heavy goth vibe. It's as simple as that. However, when competing with someone like Rhea, they wanted you to stand out so you two wouldn't be confused for each other. Not that you two really could, as you two were entirely different people, but you went along with it anyway.
And in the blink of an eye, it was Friday; since you had spent a lot of time in Stamford, Connecticut, you flew out to Memphis, Tennessee. The flight was easy enough, and you didn't lose anything, so that was nice. And while the show started at 8 pm, everyone who worked there knew to be there by 8 am. You were, in fact, no exception to the rule, even if you had been in every meeting they could think to put you in the last few days. To be fair, you looked like you hadn't slept in days, rolling in this early. You wore sunglasses, kept the hood of your hoodie up, and wore black pants and clean white sneakers. But you were a woman who had seen God and was ready to fight Him over a cup of coffee. So, like any sane person, you went to catering first thing and got coffee.
You had spent the entire morning running over your challenge promo against Tiffany, sitting on a storage box for some sort of equipment that they used during the show. And when you were not working on that, you were either in some kind of meeting again, or you were Face Timing Crystal and Rhea while wandering the arena looking for fun secrets.
You were ready for your first SmackDown show, and the show opened with Jey celebrating his big win at the Rumble; it was like a full-on party to start the show, and you couldn't help but feel jealous, but it was a fleeting feeling. The midcard was solid tonight, too, and you were right in the middle of the show, meant to pick up momentum for the rest of the show. You had been watching the monitors with Triple H in the gorilla most of the night, not because you were trying to control anything, but more because you enjoyed the work of producing a product like this. The Terror of the Industry was a brand woman who worked hard for whoever she worked for. Not that anyone seemed to mind since you had been respectful to everyone else when you were not on screen. Triple H looks up at you, nodding as Carmelo Hayes and Akira Tazawa's match is coming to a close. You nodded back, setting the headphones you had been wearing down next to him gently to avoid making too much noise, and took your spot in the gorilla for when your cue came. You passed Tiffany and gave her an encouraging thumbs up. She looked up at you from her phone, rolling her eyes at you, not because she was annoyed, but because it was like that one scene from Mean Girls, and Tiff was Regina George. You were her mom, but she gave you a thumbs up in response, so you were the winning mom of the locker room this year.
You could hear your music start, and you made your way to the wings of the stage. The second you listened to your cue, you stepped out onto the stage, waiting for the drop.
YOU ALL DESERVE EACH OTHER
The lights went up, and the pyro exploded around you. Your name flashed on the screen behind you. The chills that the crowd pop gave you were honestly the best feeling in the world, hearing people scream along with your music and just excited to see you. It still hadn't sunk in, but it was starting to, and good God, were you enjoying the hell out of it. You walked down the ramp in a saunter, this time truly playing the heel character that
Terror of the Industry
is. You felt bad that you couldn't take pictures with the kids who were lucky to sit ringside and ramp side, but you knew they would get to see their favorites, so you felt less upset about it as you got to the side of the ring. You hopped up, sitting on the apron for a moment. However, this time, you didn't wave at the camera. You stood up and stepped into the ring. The lights returned to normal, and your music faded into the background. You were then handed a microphone. And the crowd still cheered you like you were the biggest fan favorite they ever had, and you waited.
Just like on Raw, The fans on Smackdown chanted
You Belong Here.
You smiled internally to yourself and the audience. Still, you hadn't made any attempt to talk to the crowd yet, milking their chants and making the 'give me more' gestures as you walked in a circle in the center of the ring, enjoying every second of it before you stopped back in the center with your hand up. The crowd stopped chanting.
“Aw, look at you guys following directions! Thank you,” you gave the live audience a golf clap before continuing to talk into your mic.
“Smackdown…” you let out a disappointing sigh, clicking your tongue, “I warned Raw Locker room, but it doesn't seem like anyone got the memo… I'm not here to play nice. I'm here to take titles and break spirits. And I know where I'm going to start.”
WHAT?! Oh, the crowd.
You shrug, “Oh, just that I've made my decision. Tiffy Time is coming to an end, and it's going to be Terror Time here on SmackDown.” You extend your arms out as you now receive the ire of the crowd, just as you had planned alongside management. Terror of the Industry was no baby face. She was meant to be the problem child. The crowd was with it, too. Through the boos,
Tiffy Time
cut through the sound system, and Tiffany Stratton stood on top of the ramp, mic in hand. The boos turned into rightful cheers for the current women's Champion, who waited for the audience to die down just enough so she could be heard.
“Is that right (y/r/n)? You think you have what it takes to beat me in the ring?” she smiles with the faux innocence she wears so well for the ring. “Because this whole Terror of the Industry doesn't scare me. It might scare everyone else in the locker room. Still, you haven't done anything here to deserve your scary nicknames.” she threw air quotes around scary nicknames and made a face to emphasize the fact she found it ridiculous. “Besides, everyone knows if you have to have some scary nickname, you're probably just overcompensating for something.”
A loud ooooh came from the crowd; you could feel the smirk creep to your lips.
“You're right. I'm probably overcompensating for my win record, or my title records, or, oh, here, my favorite, the years I've put into my craft. I would say I'm definitely overcompensating for my hard work and dedication,” you smile. By now, you have made your way to the side of the ring closest to the ramp, your arms over the top rope and leaning against it. “I don't need to scare you, Tiff, I just need to beat you, embarrass you, humiliate you. I don't have to prove myself to you, the sound of the bell ringing after the beautiful three counts after I pin you for that title? That's all the validation I will ever need over you.” You smile at her before pointing to the WrestleMania sign that was hanging in the arena and looking between her and the sign, “But I might as well prove it to the world while I'm at it, right?”
There was a loud pop when you pointed to the sign, as people realized that this was the title you were going after and you'd be on SmackDown for a while.
Tiffany rolled her eyes at you as she approached the ring, “Sure, you can definitely try to prove it to yourself and the world.” She was now in the ring with you, and you two had squared up. Center of the ring. “Who knows, Cody Rhodes might be watching too. But don't let that bother you too much.” She held the title over her head to a loud response from the crowd.
You missed Cody
You missed Cody
You missed Cody
You felt it in your bones; everything inside you tensed up, your shoulders tight, your jaw clenched, your knuckles gripping the mic tightly. You felt the corner of your eye twitch, reminding you that you had to keep calm. Keep your cool. Force yourself not to break. You simply leaned into your mic, feeling your voice shake as you took a sharp breath that, luckily, the mic missed. You smiled at Tiffany one last time and said, “Let him.”
Dropping the mic in the ring, your music hit once again as you pushed past her and up the ramp, forcing yourself to slow your walk down because if you didn't, it could look like you were running away. Even if it was true, you couldn't allow people to see it. Once backstage, you walked out of the gorilla before anyone could say anything to you. You knew that people must have been confused, or if they weren't, they knew exactly why you practically ran out of the backstage area. You thought you had made it back to the locker room Scott-free, but at the same time, you had stopped to open the door, and a microphone greeted you on your back.
“(y/r/n), I'm sorry to bother you when you're probably just getting ready to leave, but if you do not mind, I have some questions for you.” the voice of Kathy Kelly emitted from behind you, and for once you were so glad the camera picked up every ounce of annoyance you carried in your body, you rolled your eyes, head tilted back in annoyance before you turned around pushing the mic out of your face with your pointer finger.
“If you knew that, Kathy, you wouldn't be standing here, taking up my time that I could be using to get on with my time.” you smiled at her in annoyance, “Listen, Kathy, the only thing I have to say is that everyone has been put on notice in every locker room, so if the women can't get with it, then they have no other option to get crushed by me.” you looked at Kathy with a dark glint in your eye. “Anything else?
Kathy nodded, “about you and your relationship with Cody Rhodes, a lot of the fans have commented on the fact you might have followed him here. Do you have anything you want to say about that?”
A frown crossed your face, and you crossed your arms. There was a lot you wanted to say; you could have said that everyone who thought you were here for him was stupid and needed to get a life. Anyone who believed you followed Cody was a hopeless romantic idiot who didn't know the first thing about anything. And you wanted to say that, but that wasn't fair to rip off her head over something you honestly did to yourself, no matter how many times this happened by accident. Or even on purpose. So you crossed your arms, thinking of something snaky but not downright jerkish to say.
“Even if I did follow him, what does it matter? He's the American nightmare, but I haven't seen him do much to cause harm, being all high and mighty with his stupid suits. Listen, he finished his story; I'm starting mine.” you looked back at the door, wanting to bang your head on it; really, his suits? That what you decided was a safe target? You wanted to curl up and die. “now Kathy if you don't mind-” you stopped dead in your tracks as both you and Kelly looked over to see who stopped in the hallway.
The world around you seemed to stop moving; you felt every muscle in your body stiffen, your heart rate quickened, and your blood ran cold. There he stood in a navy blue suit, with a crisp white button-down and a dark blue tie. The tattoo of his logo, peaking out from the color of his shirt and bleached-blond hair, made him stand out in a crowd. He was holding the WWE championship over one shoulder and passing by your interview with Kathy Kelley. But he did stop, and maybe it was shorter than it felt, but for a moment, or an eternity, you didn't know which, you two held eye contact. And in that eternity, you felt seen, uncomfortably seen, every moment of your existence witnessed by those baby blue eyes. You felt your breath hitch as you tried to remember how to exist in your own body. And for as long as that moment felt. It quickly passed with him giving a quick hello and a gentle wave. As soon as he came through, he was gone.
His gaze still lingered on your conscience.
But who is he?
You knew exactly who.
Cody Rhodes.

MDNI!! THIS STORY INCLUDES SMUT. AS ALWAYS MY STORIES ARE KAYFABE COMPLAINT TO SOME EXTENT AND DO NOT DEPICT REAL PEOPLE.
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。..・。.・゜✭・.・
Sometimes it is easy for Kira to feel like a third wheel. Not because anyone intentionally made her feel that way but when you constantly hang around wrestlers and well... You aren't a wrestler, it's easy to feel that way.
Add onto that the fact that she's in a poly relationship with a married couple that had been together 14 years. She had just joined them about a year ago. Jimmy and Naomi both made her feel just as loved. She just felt to some extinct she couldn't relate to them the way they relate to each other at times.
It wasn't that Kira didn't have the desire to be a wrestler. She'd actually started training when she was 18 or so with Booker T's 'Reality Of Wrestling' in her hometown Houston, Texas, which is where she originally met Jimmy and Jey.
They were close friends back then, nothing more.
One split second miscalculation led to an awful neck injury and that was all it took to injure her to the point of never even getting to make her television debut. With her future in ring out the window, she stayed on with Booker T who became somewhat of a father figure, and under his wing she learned how to run a promotion.
Years later this led to her becoming GM for TNA Impact, where Naomi, performing under the name Trinity Fatu at the time was Knockouts World Champion. The two hit it off, eventually Kira realized Trin was married to her old friend from ROW and they all grew closer and closer until one day the couple sat her down, explained that they were poly and that they both had developed feelings for her. And the rest was history.
It became a pretty fun dynamic. Kira was a sub. A bratty sub, but a sub nonetheless. Naomi was a switch. Domme to Kira but submissive to Jimmy, who was a Dom.
Naomi was a very nurturing, caregiver type Domme which Kira loved. There was nothing like brating until she pissed Daddy off and got spanked then got cuddles from Mommy. Jimmy was the type of Dom that didn't take himself too seriously. He wasn't afraid to joke around and could always make his girls laugh, even durring an intense scene.
When Naomi returned to WWE she brought Kira along with her who served as sort of an assistant to Nick Aldis, but eventually took his place running Smackdown altogether due to Roman and The Rock deciding around wrestlemania that someone connected to the bloodline needed to be GM. Jimmy volunteered her, not that she had minded.
Kira lay in bed, sandwiched between Jimmy and Naomi in their hotel room after Smackdown.
Kira snuggled closer to Jimmy, feeling his strong tattooed arms around her. He kissed the top of her head, and she felt a rush of warmth and affection.
"You okay, babygirl?" he asked, his voice soft and concerned. "You seem a little quiet tonight."
Kira sighed softly, not wanting to burden him with her feelings. "I'm fine," she said, forcing a smile. "Just a little tired, I guess."
Jimmy frowned, sensing that something was off. "You know you can talk to us, right?" he said, his hand gently stroking her arm.
"It's nothing, Daddy." Kira lied. Naomi quirked a brow not believing it one bit.
"No lying, baby. Don't make us have to punish you." Naomi responded.
"The truth, or you won't cum for a week." Jimmy added.
Kira hesitated for a moment, then decided to open up to them. "I just... sometimes I feel like I don't fit in with you guys," she admitted. "You're both wrestlers, and I'm just... not. I don't have the same experiences or knowledge as you do, and it makes me feel a little left out sometimes."
Jimmy listened attentively, his expression understanding. "I'm sorry you feel that way, babygirl," he said, his voice gentle. "We never meant to make you feel left out. We love you just the way you are."
Naomi, who had been listening quietly, spoke up. "Kira, you're an important part of our relationship," she said. "We wouldn't be where we are without you. We love you for who you are, not for what you do."
Kira felt a lump form in her throat as she heard their words. She knew they loved her, but sometimes it was hard to shake off those feelings of inadequacy.
"I know you do," she said, her voice soft. "And I love you both too. I just... sometimes I wish I could relate to you more, you know? Like when you talk about your matches or whatever."
Jimmy nodded, he remembered that day in training when it happened, when Kira landed wrong on her neck and her hopes of a wrestling career died. He could see the pain on her face even now.
Naomi reached out and took Kira's hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "We understand, babygirl," she said. "And we're here to support you through whatever you're feeling. We know how much wrestling meant to you, and we're sorry that it didn't work out the way you hoped."
Jimmy nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with empathy. "We'll always be here for you, no matter what," he said. "We love you, and we want you to be happy."
Kira felt a wave of gratitude wash over her as she looked at the two people she loved most in the world. She knew that they would always be there for her, no matter what challenges came their way.
"Thank you," she said, her voice thick with emotion. "I love you both so much."
Naomi leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. "We love you too, babygirl," she said. "And we'll always be here to help you feel included and loved."
Jimmy wrapped his arms around both of them, pulling them close. "Forever and always," he said, his voice firm and reassuring. "Naomi, what do you say we reward our princess for opening up to us?" Jimmy asked, "I'm tryna make her scream so loud we get kicked out the damn hotel." He added, his trademark humor making an appearance.
Naomi grinned, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "I like the way you think," she said. "I think our princess deserves a little extra attention tonight."
Kira felt a shiver of excitement run down her spine as she looked at the two of them. "What do you have in mind?" she asked, her voice a little breathless.
Jimmy leaned in and whispered something in Naomi's ear, causing her to giggle. "Oh, I like that idea," she said, a wicked grin spreading across her face.
Kira's heart raced as she watched the two of them exchange a knowing look. She had no idea what they were planning, but she was already feeling the heat of anticipation.
Jimmy and Naomi both turned their attention to Kira, their eyes filled with desire. "Are you ready, princess?" Jimmy asked, his voice low and seductive.
Naomi reached out and ran a finger down Kira's arm, sending another shiver through her body. "We're going to make you feel so good," she said, her voice sultry. "Just relax and let Mommy and Daddy take care of you."
Kira's breath hitched as she felt their hands on her body, their touch sending waves of pleasure through her. She closed her eyes and let herself surrender to their touch, trusting them completely.
Jimmy and Naomi worked in perfect harmony, their hands and mouths exploring every inch of her body. They whispered sweet nothings in her ear, telling her how beautiful she was and how much they loved her. Reminding her that she was their good girl.
As they continued to lavish attention on her, Kira felt herself becoming more and more aroused. She could feel the heat building between her legs.
Jimmy's hands roamed over her body, his touch firm and possessive. Naomi's lips trailed kisses down her neck, her tongue flicking out to tease her sensitive skin.
Kira moaned softly, arching her back as Jimmy's fingers found her most sensitive spot, circuling her clit. Naomi moved lower as well, her lips and tongue exploring the curves of her body.
Jimmy's mouth found hers in a searing kiss, his tongue delving deep as he claimed her lips. Naomi's hands were everywhere, caressing and stroking her in all the right places.
Kira felt like she was in a haze of pleasure, her body trembling with need. She could feel the tension building inside her, and she knew that she was close to the edge.
Jimmy's fingers moved faster, in and out, curling inside her, his touch driving her wild. Naomi's mouth was hot and wet against her skin, and she could feel her orgasm building with each passing moment as Naomi sucked one of her sensitive nipples into her mouth.
With a gasp, Kira finally reached her peak, her body shuddering with pleasure. Jimmy and Naomi held her close, their arms wrapped around her as she rode out the waves of her climax.
"You're so beautiful when you come," Jimmy whispered, his breath hot against her ear. "We love seeing you like this."
Naomi nuzzled her neck, her lips brushing against her skin. "We'll never get tired of making you feel good, princess," she said. "You're ours."
Kira lay there, her body still tingling from the aftershocks of her orgasm. She felt loved and cherished, surrounded by the two people who meant the most to her in the world.
Jimmy and Naomi lay on either side of her, their arms wrapped around her protectively. They showered her with kisses and sweet words. Kira couldn't help the giddy feeling that had come over her, she loved being taken care of by her Doms.
Kira felt a sense of contentment wash over her as she lay there with them. She knew that there would be challenges and obstacles in their relationship, but she also knew that they would face them together.
Jimmy and Naomi had a way of making her feel like she belonged, like she was a part of something special. Kira snuggled closer to them, feeling safe and loved in their embrace.
Jimmy and Naomi held her tightly, their bodies warm and comforting. They talked softly, their voices filled with affection and tenderness.
"I love you both so much," Kira whispered, her voice filled with emotion. "You make me feel like the luckiest person in the world."
Jimmy and Naomi both smiled, their eyes filled with love. "We love you too, princess," Jimmy said as Naomi lovingly played with Kira's hair. "And we'll always be here to remind you just how special you are."

Vince McMahon Sabotaged Christian Cage's Career
In February 2009, Christian made his surprising return to WWE and debuted on the ECW brand. The moment was exciting for fans, as Christian had made a big name for himself during his nearly four-year stint with TNA Wrestling.
Some fans don't look back on the moment fondly though, as commentator Todd Grisham didn't have much enthusiasm in his voice for the return of a legend. As it turns out, Vince McMahon himself instructed Grisham to have a low demeanor about Christian's return to the company.
Right before I walked out of the Gorillia position before the show. Vince McMahon called me over and said, “When Christian walks out..don’t get excited at all simply say ‘it’s Christian’ and that’s it. Understand me?” Me: “Yes sir”
Tony Khan responded to Grisham's post, calling the behavior insane.

In a recent interview, Kurt Angle stated that there isn't much difference between Vince McMahon and the character of 'Mr. McMahon'.
Reacting to a post criticizing his commentary on X, Grisham recalled the infamous moment. The former WWE personality detailed how McMahon ordered him to say those exact words when Christian returned. Grisham could do nothing but accept and follow his boss’ instructions. Over the years, this moment has become a running online joke.
For some reason, McMahon never saw Christian as a potential main-event talent in WWE. Therefore, Captain Charisma failed to reach similar heights as his best friend, Edge (Adam Copeland). Even after winning his first World Heavyweight Championship, the Canadian star ended up losing the belt in five days.
The story reignited the long-standing debate around McMahon's supposed dislike of Christian (rumors mentioned that Jay wasn't a yes-man and didn't want to be involved with any shenanigans backstage involving Vince and his bullying/harassment way).
The latter was once one-half of his most profitable tag-team stable with Edge. However, following their diversion into single competitors, the former 'Captain Charisma' was never treated as a prized asset.
Former WWE star Lance Storm confirmed the official WWE program incorrectly billed Christian at 5’ 10” when the man whose real name is William Reso is 3-4 inches taller.
McMahon's old WWE lead writer Alex Greenfield later revealed the billionaire once pitched to have Christian's face covered by a blue dot.
"Right before I started, there was a big show, I think it might have been in Toronto. Christian was just so completely over, and everybody thought he was going to get a push at, I think it was the World Heavyweight Championship at that point. We were on the plane one time shortly after I started, and Vince was just like 'God damn, I just don't like his face. His face really bothers me.'
"I was like, 'He's ugly, Vince?'
'No, it's not that he's ugly, it's just, I don't know, it's ratty!"
WWE executive Bruce Pritchard even waded in on the theory, by explaining McMahon was never a major fan. "[Vince] didn’t feel that [Christian] had the personality to connect with the audience in a big way. He didn’t think he was larger than life and at that time Vince wanted the top guys needed to be larger than life. You needed to be The Rock, needed to be Stone Cold, you needed to be Undertaker. Every time you would come up with an idea for Edge or Christian it would be like okay, there is a lot of excitement there with Edge."
"‘Oh by God, we could do this with him. We could do this with him, a big good-looking bastard and then we’d get to Christian and it would just be, ‘Ugh, God, do we have to shoot him? Do we have to see that face? The fuck’s he gonna say?!’"
Even after winning his first World Heavyweight Championship, Christian ended up losing the belt within five days.
He inducted long-term partner Edge into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012 but is conspicuous by his own absence from the list over a decade later. The veteran wasn't offered a new WWE contract following a separate return at the Royal Rumble in 2021.
He has since found a home in AEW under Tony Khan's leadership, who reacted to Grisham's story further in an additional post that read: "Christian Cage is the man."

HOW YOU MET
>SUPERSTARS MASTERLIST
➽────────────────────❥
DEAN AMBROSE/JON MOXLEY
-You meet backstage before your first (mixed) tag team match together, he stares at you but focused for the match making you nervous
-During your match though he throws surprisingly encouraging words your way to motivate you, you both work together seemingly effortlessly and get the win almost as if you've been working together for a long time
ROMAN REIGNS
-Being a big fan of Roman and also a new WWE commentator, you catch Roman's attention with your obvious jabs at his opponent's performance
-He can't help but let out a few laughs when you so blatantly take jabs at his opponent when he gets a few hits in, but praise him when he turns the match around
SETH ROLLINS
-When he makes his solo debut after the shield breaks up, he goes to you (his new seamster/seamstress) to have a meeting about his new wrestling attire
-Love at first sight was what he experienced when he laid his eyes on you for the first time, he can't help but be nervous under your curious gaze as you ask questions while sketching potential ring attire for him
RANDY ORTON
-After one of his many successful matches he walks backstage to be interviewed, you happen to be the new interviewer at WWE and he is surprised at the impression you leave on him
-While doing your job you can't help but be a bit awestruck as he flirts with you confidently live on television, this will definitely not be your last time meeting
FINN BALOR
-When he debuts at WWE you happen to be making your debut as the new ring announcer, his nervousness melts away as he locks eyes with you at the top of the ramp while making his entrance
-You helped him focus on the match by shouting his name in such a way that made him feel confident and strong (the crowd also helped)
NEVILLE/PAC
-After being drafted from TNA you enter the NXT performance center to start training and run into another new NXT recruit
-Being just as nervous and excited to start working your way up to the WWE roster, you both exchange shy glances as you practice and work out together
➽────────────────────❥

Remembering Sabu
The Professional Wrestling world has a lost an icon today. ECW Legend , Sabu, has passed away at the age of 60.
I am very saddened and shocked. This article will be to celebrate his career.
Sabu was known for being a pioneer for hardcore wrestling. He would be very well known for this during his run with Extreme Championship Wrestling , also known as ECW from 1993 to 2000. He would make his wrestling debut in 1985 after being trained by his uncle , Edward Farhat , also known as The Sheik. He would have stints in New Japan Pro Wrestling ( NJPW ) and Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling. Therefore, he would have a brief run in WCW before being signed to ECW and becoming popular there. He have feuds and alliances with other ECW stars such as Taz and Rob Van Dam. He would also have a stint in TNA as well as be on the WWE roster for the ECW reboot in 2006.
In 2023 , Sabu would make an appearance in AEW , coming out of retirement to be in the corner for Adam Cole alongside Roderick Strong as Cole would face Chris Jericho in an Unsanctioned match at Double or Nothing. His last match would be against Joey Janela on April 18, 2025 at the ‘ Joey Janela’s Spring Break 9’ show for Game Changer Wrestling ( GCW ).
My Final Thoughts:
Sabu was one of a kind. He was so entertaining to watch as a kid and he’s one of the reasons why I absolutely love hardcore wrestling. When you mention hardcore wrestling to me , he is the first person that comes to my mind. All I want to say now is , Sabu, thank you for everything. We will always love you and miss you . You will forever be immortalized on my blog. My condolences are with his family , friends, and fans.
What is your favorite Sabu match ? Mine is Sabu vs Drew Galloway ( Drew McIntyre) vs Jack Jester . Or you can share your thoughts and memories of him.

I have been asked so many times about why I am not a big follower of AEW. I have also been told I'm not a true wrestling fan as I am a female (as a 47 year old, I have had this thrown at me since I was 12). As for AEW I don't hate or resent it. I don't hate wrestlers who go there. I have tried so many times to get into it but I just can't. It's one of those things. I don't believe fans should feel obligated to watch one brand but they shouldn't be accused of not being real wrestling fans if they only watch one brand.
This is my experience as a fan. As a kid I grew up going to gyms and bingo halls with my dad watching British wrestling (including the British Bulldog's debut). I then had the joy of WWE (then WWF), WCW, USWA and GLOW on TV. My weekends were awesome. Because WCW was on so late at night we'd sneak snacks into my brother's room in the day then at night my sister and I would quietly creep into my brother's room and the 3 of us would watch it crowded around his mini TV until our dad caught us because my brother laughed so loudly at Paul Heyman's frustration with Bagwell. We found out dad was watching it too so he let us watch it with him on Saturday nights.
As the teen years came on, cousins would watch with us and wrestle with us (some fun times). We started going to events including Summerslam 92. That was crazy for me because I was 3 when my dad took me to my first event and the Bulldog debuted. Now I was watching him main event.
ECW came out and there was more for me as a wrestling fan to get excited about.
As I went to university I made more wrestling based friends and saw more indy stuff which was great after the demise of territorial wrestling in America where the likes of the Von Erichs came through.
That's when I saw the debut of someone my age and the crush hit lol. AJ Styles. He was exciting to watch. I followed his career completely. My attention was then split between WWE and TNA when I left uni and began teacher training. My neighbour was my wrestling viewing buddy and he used to get tired of hearing about TNA as he only liked WWE but then he hated me talking wrestling crushes but that's another story.
I kept up with bits of ROH and NJPW. When AJ left TNA to go independent I was back to watching just WWE while following his career. His last independent match before his WWE Royal Rumble debut was at a spot up the road from where I live (where my dad took me when I was 3). I remember feeling like that little kid again.
Skip forward to a nervous breakdown, I was in a psych ward voluntary to avoid legal committing for 3 months. I was diagnosed with bipolar and bpd. My sister brought me my tablet. They would charge it in the office and then let me have it. It was Wrestlemania weekend and I remember watching it and beginning to feel like I used to and it sparked the road to recovery from a dark spot.
That's when I realised that the WWE had been my biggest source of comfort since childhood.
As I've said before, I can't get into AEW and I've tried. TNA lost its spark (for me personally) when AJ Styles left.
But I am a true fan. I remember moments that I shared with family. When it was the four big events in the wrestling calendar only - the family would watch together eating a buffet and treating it like a party.
As my niece grew up, she found love for the Undertaker not realising his debut as Taker went back to when I was 13.
And now my little person (I'm her guardian), she began to walk because of Big E. She saw him dancing with Kofi and Xavier and began to crawl to the TV, pulled herself up to dance with him. I then kept telling she’d have to walk over to him to dance. Low and behold, she started walking.
Not every memory is happy. Kerry Von Erich's suicide, Sherri, Miss Elizabeth, Owen Hart, Eddie Guerrero, the Benoit Tragedy (some hate me for saying there's more to it than what was shared and if you knew Kevin Sullivan you'd understand why it never made sense) and more recently Bray Wyatt which I had to experience twice because early last year I was admitted to hospital with a DKA was in a coma for a few days with brain swelling and have forgotten so many things since it happened. I'd forgotten he'd died. I told one of my nurses I had 3 weeks to learn to walk again and be home for Wrestlemania and see Bray knock it out of the park. She told me he'd died and I had to go through grief a second time for him. But still wrestling was a catalyst in my recovery.
So no, I don't watch AEW (my brother and nephew always keep me updated on that front) and I only really watch WWE now but it does not mean I am not a true fan. Wrestling still brings me the same joy it did as a kid and I still tell people the same thing then as I do today. Whether you watch one or several organisations, you ARE a fan. Don't feel devalued by someone else's opinion. Wrestling is wrestling, people shouldn't be made to feel inferior by other fans if they don't choose to watch a particular brand. Wrestling fans get looked down upon all the time because people go on about it being fake. We don't need to belittle each other too.

I'm seeing people complain that "Team AEW" doesn't have any "homegrown" AEW talent on it.
First things first, it's "Team AEW," not "Team AEW originals" or "Team Homegrown." The only qualifications for being on the team are supporting AEW, and wanting to defend it from the dastardly heels. If you can't figure out how that's consistent with the characters of Bryan Danielson, Eddie Kingston, and FTR (whether you like them or not), then you haven't been paying attention.
Second, I find it odd that Eddie Kingston, who made his AEW debut at Daily's Place in July 2020, doesn't make the cut as "homegrown." So who the hell does, then? Does it have to be wrestlers who appeared on the first show? Does it have to be wrestlers that never wrestled anywhere else? Can you only be homegrown AEW talent if Tony Khan literally found you growing in a cabbage patch in 2019?
Having lived through "there aren't enough ECW originals on WWECW" and "the TNA originals are standing up to the Main Event Mafia," I'm familiar with the weird gatekeeper vibe of wanting to support the old guard against the carpetbaggers. But AEW is literally only five years old. That's not enough history to meaningfully distinguish from "originals" and "outsiders." (Note that AEW tried this already in the women's division last year, and it went over like a lead balloon.) Most of the talent that AEW truly developed from the ground up--guys like Griff Garrison and Top Flight--are still getting their reps in, and are years away from wrestling Kazuchika Okada in a PPV main event.
If you want a story where the founders and pillars of AEW battle to defend its honor from evil invaders, this was never going to be it. The story is about the idea that everybody who complains about the Young Bucks and their friends--i.e., everybody on the ground floor of AEW--was right, and they really are "fucking children." For better or worse, this is a story about the top AEW stars of 2024 saving AEW from the jackasses who created it, and made it a place they cared about in the first place. And like it or not, the top AEW stars of 2024 were never going to exclusively be people who were there from the beginning.

the Wrestler: Volume 26, 2009
SPOTLIGHT ON…
C.M. PUNK
DON’T BOTHER ASKING what “C,M.” stands or … Ditto with the Pepsi logo… Stories are as unpredictable as the man himself… Born Phillip Brooks in Chicago, Illinois, on October 26, 1978… Probably not a good idea to call him Phill, either… Indy darling whose reputation preceded him by years… More than lived up to billing since joining WWE in 2006… First experience in wrestling was as part of backyard promotion…
[February 2022: Punk does battle with Colt Cabana in IWA: Mid-South. Punk would hold IWA: M-S gold on several separate occasions.

Styles in the finals… Won the ROH tag team championship with Cabana twice… Team was called the Second City Saints… Was a top star in ROH… Position brought new responsibility… Hired as head trainer of ROH in 2003, while continuing to compete… Involved in a legendary series of matches over the ROH title with Samoa Joe… Two of the three matches ended in 60-minute draws… Joe retained the title with a victory in match three… Second match if the series is hailed as an epic encounter… Gained the attention of Vince McMahon and WWE and given a series of tryouts… Signed developmental deal in June of 2005… In a rare move, was able to continue competing for ROH after signing with WWE… Worked out to his ultimate advantage… Defeated Austin Aries to capture the ROH championship in mid-2005… Would prove to be his only ROH singles title run… Turned against the ROH fans who had made him such an iconic figure… Threatened to take the ROH title with him to WWE… Mocked the title by signing his WWE contract on top of it…. Fans and wrestlers alike implored him to leave with respect… Mick Foley intervened on behalf of the fans… Continued to disrespect the strap and the ROH fans…
