Hi, my name's jack. This is my first attempt on a fanfic so let me know your thoughts and whether I should do more parts, turn this into a series, or just stop all together, your opinion matters the most, you do have to read these after all!
Also let me know if there's anything you want me to do, all input is welcome.

You can't believe it! You're finally on your way to the place you've always dreamed of! The WWE Performance Centre! Granted, it wasn't the perfect circumstances, you would have much preferred it to be a tryout rather that a university trip but it's better than not going at all, right?
You've been studying drama whilst also doing amateur wrestling in your spare time so this was the perfect trip. You get to learn about the drama side of things by listening to promos, and where is better to learn more about wrestling than the WWE? You might be able to talk to a few of your favourite superstars, such as Finn Balor, AJ Styles and Cesaro. If you're lucky Nikki Bella might be there! You're hoping to see her more than anyone else as you've had a crush on her for years, you know if you ever met her you probably wouldn't even be able to form a sentence let alone flirt with her but it's nice to dream!
Suddenly the coach grinds to a bolt which snaps you out of you daydream, you see your wrestling coach, John, stand up and call out names...
John: ok so the first group is going with Mr. Bloom here to the main performance centre and will be watching superstars cutting promos and training in wrestling technique. The second group will be going with me to the gym and looking at the equipment, we have been given permission to use the equipment, but it's very expensive stuff... so don't be dicking around with equipment unless you want to pay for breaking it. Let's go!
You are in the first group, so you follow Matt Bloom as closely as possible to the point it might be kinda creepy but you don't care, you're living it right now. You get to the main ring in the middle of the performance centre and there he is, AJ Styles!! Working on his wrestling ability with Finn Balor, wait, FINN'S HERE TOO!?!? This is the best day of you're life, you're currently watching your idols practicing and putting on a show for you 10 feet away from where you're stood, this is a dream come true. But that had nothing on what came next.
AJ: these guys the amateur wrestlers Matt?
Matt: yup, just got here about 15 minutes ago.
AJ: what do you say we show them what WWE wrestling is all about?
Matt: yeah, like any of them want to get in the ring with one of the most hard hitting superst-
Before Matt could finish his sentence, you're already in the ring.
AJ: you were saying?
AJ turns to you and shakes your hand.
AJ: So, what's your name?
You: my name is _____, Sir.
AJ: sir?
He says with a smirk.
AJ: just call me AJ.
You: ok AJ, we gonna fight now?
AJ: I like you already! Let's get going then!
Matt rings the bell and you show AJ what you've got, you're at the top of all your classes but you wouldn't consider yourself anywhere near WWE standard. You have a good 10 minute match and show some impressive ability.
AJ: you have some serious talent kid, I hope I'll see you again in the future!
You: thank you sir... I mean AJ.
AJ laughs and shakes your hand before giving you a prop mic.
AJ: you ever cut a promo?
You: does being in front of a mirror count?
AJ: haha no then, it's real simple, just think about who you want to call out, think about what's holding them back, what their weaknesses are, and exploit them.
You: I'll give it a go.
You cut a surprisingly good heel promo, calling out Finn Balor, who is still at ringside, everyone applauds and you see Matt whisper something in AJ's ear before AJ runs off down a corridor. Just as you get out of the ring Matt and Finn walk up to you.
Matt: that was a decent promo for your first attempt.
Finn: yeah, not many people have that much confidence when it's their hundred and first time up there but you crushed it!
You: thank you guys! I do drama too so I think that might have helped.
Matt: whatever it is, keep doing it, I'm impressed. Anyway it's time to swap over with your coach and go to the gym, have fun!
As you turn around you feel something hit you right on the chin, you're dazed you a few seconds before you look down and see Nikki Bella sat on the floor rubbing her head, wait, did you just head butt Nikki Bella!?
Nikki: what the fuck! Don't you watch where you're going!?
