This One's for You

Start from the beginning
                                    

Liv: Why are you all smiles?

Oliver: I had a flashback to the night we met at Raw. Did you know that this is my favorite arena.

Liv: Why is that?

Oliver: Because this is the same arena where you, Ruby, and Sarah came over and introduced yourselves to me.

Liv: Oh shit it is. It's funny how things turn out isn't it.

Oliver: That night you came over and introduced yourself I had no idea that I'd fall in love with you.

Liv: I was nervous because I thought you were cute and I didn't want to make myself look like an idiot.

Oliver: Well I'm glad you took that chance and sat next to me.

Liv: You ready for the match tonight?

Oliver: Yup, I'm defending this title tonight in the memory of Emma.

Liv: She's going to be out there with us tonight and she'll have the best view for the show.

Tonight, Ruby is in a fatal four way against Alexa, Becky, and Natalya for the Raw women's championship. I'm in Gorilla sitting with Finn when the girls come up to me before Ruby's match.

Oliver: You girls ready?

Ruby: You know it.

Liv: The three of us wanted to do something for Emma so we came up with an idea.

Sarah: It's nothing fancy but we tried.

All three girls had a heart with the letter E in the middle painted on their stomach for Emma. They also had pink arm bands with EP on it in baby blue letters.

Ruby: She's going to be with us tonight and we're doing this for her.

I pulled the girls in for a hug. Before the match Alexa comes over to me and hugs me.

Alexa: Sorry for your loss Oliver. She was such a sweet heart.

Oliver: Thanks Lexi, I like the gear by the way.

Alexa: I know Minnie Mouse was her favorite so I thought this gear would be a good tribute to her.

Oliver: Emma would have loved the gear Lexi. Thank you so much for honoring her out there.

Alexa: She was a sweetheart. You did a great job raising her.

Nattie comes over and she has the same pink arm band with EP on it as Lexi and the girls. She hugged me and then went over to the curtain and joined the Riott Squad and Lexi. Becky comes over and looks at me, we nod to each other.

Oliver: Champ, how's it going?

Becky: You know the usual. Ready to go slap some heads off. Sorry about your loss.

Oliver: Thank you, I can't believe all the love I'm getting from everyone.

Becky: We're a family here Oliver you already know that. Tonight isn't about us as individuals tonight is about us coming together, tonight is about Emma.

Oliver: It really means a lot. She loved this, she wanted me to train her after high school.

Becky: That's why tonight is about Emma. She never got the chance to live out her dream but she's going to be in that ring with all of us tonight in spirit.

Oliver: Thank you Becky. Now go out there and show them why you're the man.

The girls went out there and put on one hell of a match. Right at the end of the match Ruby hit Nattie with a Riott Kick and went for the cover.

Mike Rome: Here is your winner and NEW Raw Women's Champion Ruby Riott.

Liv and Sarah slid into the ring and hugged Ruby. The ref handed her the championship and all 3 girls cried as they looked up to the sky. The girls were hugging on the ramp and Ruby held the title high in the air and all three girls pointed to the sky.

Ruby: This was for you Emma. We love you.

When the girls got to the back I went up to them and hugged them.

Oliver: Congrats Rue, I'm so happy for you.

Ruby: Thanks Oliver. This win was for Emma.

Oliver: I thought Becky was supposed to win.

Becky: I was. I convinced the old man about changing the finish. I wanted you guys to have this moment tonight. Technically I never lost the title Nattie was the one that took the pin

Becky and I shared a hug and I thanked her.

It was now time for Finn and I to go one on one for the Intercontinental Championship. My theme song hit and I made my way out to the ring and waited for Finn. After he made his entrance and was in the ring I handed the ref the title and the bell rang. Before we started the match we shook hands and shared a bro hug.

*End of match*

Finn and I have been putting on an awesome match the crowd is behind us giving us the "This is awesome" chant. Finn hits me with a drop kick into the corner and he climbs to the top rope for the Coupe de Grace and connect. I kicked out at the very last second and Finn couldn't believe it, he got me in position for 1916 but I countered it and nailed a Riott Kick. Now I'm in the corner waiting for Finn to get back on his feet and I pulled down my knee pad with the rose on it and as soon as Finn got up I hit him with a running knee and went for the cover and picked up the win.

Graves: Despite everything going on in his life right now Oliver put up one hell of a fight against Finn Balor and retained the Intercontinental Championship.

Once the ref handed me the title I looked at it and started to cry. I kissed the title and then I pointed up to the sky and talked to Emma. Finn came over to me and he raised my arm and then we shared a hug as I was still crying. When we walked through the curtain Liv came running up to me and jumped into my arms wouldn't let me go we kissed and then I was surrounded by my friends. Ruby and I both took a picture holding our titles. After the show was over we did our after show ritual and went to iHop except this time it wasn't just me and the girls. Zack, Curt, Finn, Sonya, and Mandy came with us.

Oliver: I want to thank every single one of you for being there for me and putting up with me while I've been going through this. It means a lot to have my family here with me during this tough time. I love you guys.

After we got done eating I asked the waitress if she could take a group picture of all of us. We all went our separate ways the girls and I went back to the hotel to get some rest tomorrow Liv and I are going to head back to Orlando. Once we got back to the hotel before I went to bed I posted the picture that we all took to my Instagram.

"@oliverpiercewwe: "Family don't end in blood. But it doesn't start there either. Family cares about you, not what you can do for them. Family is there, for the good, bad, all of it. They got your back, even when it hurts. That's family." I couldn't have asked for a better family I love you guys thank you for always being there for me.
