Roman Reigns, now cancer free, is back! While reclaiming his yard he finds some new faces. He unknowingly has more in common with one than he thinks. Enter female Superstar, Robyn.
Even when life laid them bare, they still remain. Two survivors fin...
A/N: This story was created back in February when he returned. I meant to transfer it sooner but I was lazy 🥴. Anyway, hope you enjoy! 😊

Robyn or Robbie as her friends called her remembered the night of October 22, 2018 like it was yesterday. 'My real name is Joe and I've been living with leukemia for 11 years and unfortunately it's back..."

She also remembered the fallout of it on social media and even in her own locker room down at NXT. One thing that stuck out to her the most was people's disbelief that it could happen to Roman. Cancer? How could this be? He's face of the company? The thought of the body of this handsome, vibrant man in the prime of his life betraying him seemed impossible to some.
The show was definitely not the same but according to the quote, it must go on. At some point Mr. McMahon decided that the rosters needed fresh blood and that's where she along with Lacey Evans, Nikki Cross and a lot of NXT male superstars came in. Lacey was getting the most airtime and Nikki got to participate in the Rumble and Elimination but Robbie was bounced between Raw and Smackdown participating in random tag matches but for the most part, she performed in dark matches before the show, occasionally taped throwaway matches for Main Event.
She knew backstage would be hectic tonight because of two big events: the return of Roman Reigns and Ric Flair's birthday.
Roman arrived about two hours before show time and people swarmed him. Robbie hung back in the shadows. He was coming back to people he knew and had bonds with and Robbie would feel out of place approaching him as a new face while he was busy catching up with the others. She hadn't personally met him but by all account he was a great man, husband, father, leader, role model and all around stand up guy.
While Ric was supposedly having an on air party tonight, there was one already set up for him backstage and that's where she went off to. Pretty soon Roman made his way in there and once again, he was surrounded before he had both feet in the door. The difference between being out in the open of the backstage area and being in an isolated room became crystal clear – there was only one way to escape and Roman happened to be standing by it.
Robbie took a deep breath and stood knowing that it was probably better to go up to him rather than have him approach her. According to backstage etiquette, it was customary for the new wrestler to introduce themselves to veteran wrestlers. Her plan was to say a quick hello and shake his hand before letting him get back to his conversations but it was just her luck that the crowd around him disbanded by the time she made it across the room so when he finally spotted her she had his full attention. He seemed to check her out without being obvious but she noticed. She knew she was attractive at 25 years of age, 5'8, dark haired exotic beauty.
