Wrestling One-Shots Volume 5

LA Knight

Smackdown is about to start when you finally make it through security and down to the commentary table in the arena. You hurry down to the table and quickly pull off the jacket hanging off your shoulders. 

"Sorry that I'm late, boys." You nod to Wade and Michael as you sit down. "Got held up at security." You briefly explain while getting your headset on and ready to go. 

Wade glances at the dress that you're wearing and can't help but make a snarky comment. "I can see why they held you up." He jokes. "They didn't happen to pat you down, did they?" 

"Funny." You roll your eyes. "I was at a red carpet event with a friend earlier today and didn't have time to change." You explain. "Now stop drooling and focus on work, Wade." You snap at him with a stern look. 

"Well, I think that you look nice, Y/N." The much more polite Michael Cole compliments you with a friendly smile. 

You smile back at Michael before flashing Wade some side-eye. "Thank you, Michael. See, Wade? Acting like a decent human being isn't as hard as you claim it is." You tease him. 

Smackdown finally goes live on the air and you switch into work mode. You praise Liv Morgan for her new attitude when she comes out for her match then argue with Wade about her for a bit. Michael sides with you like he usually does, and Liv wins her match against Sonya Deville. 

After Liv's match, a promo package for Roman Reigns plays so you take a moment to look at the rest of the schedule for the night. "Oh god, LA Knight is out next?" You read the next match on the schedule card. "Great, and it's against Ricochet. Can't wait for that." You roll your eyes. 

"Not a fan of the megastar, Y/N?" Wade asks you. "Now why am I not surprised." He scoffs. 

"I never said that I wasn't a fan, Wade." You reply. "The guy just has an ego, that's all." You correct him. 

Wade scoffs again and taps his pencil against the palm of his hand. "If I recall, you had some strong words regarding Knight last week when he was out in the ring." He reminds you. 

"And?" You reply. "I'm entitled to my own opinion, Wade." You glare at him. "If Knight wants to garner my positive attention then all he needs to do is something other than run his mouth." 

The promo package finishes up and Smackdown gets back to actual action out in the ring. Ricochet comes out to the ring first and does his usual high-energy entrance. You rattle off a few Ricochet facts while he comes out to the ring then fall silent again when Knight's music hits. 

Knight picks at the crowd a little bit as well as Ricochet as he comes down to the ring. You roll your eyes at his antics as he comes around the ring and over to the commentary table. 

"You know I heard that last week little miss, Y/N L/N, was over here talking about LA Knight." Knight walks over to the commentary table. "What's the matter babydoll? Don't tell me that you don't like what you see?" He teases you with a smug grin. 

You roll your eyes again and watch Knight from your chair. "I'm more of an action kinda girl, playboy." You answer him. "And it looks to me like Ricochet's got the upper hand in that department." You grin and point behind Knight just as Ricochet dives out of the ring after him. 

The bell rings and the match starts for real. Throughout the match, Knight doesn't hesitate to brag and boast to you every time that he's got Ricochet in his grasp. 

"You don't happen to have a thing for Knight, do you, Y/N?" Wade asks you around halfway through the match. 

"Mind your own business, Wade." You reply dryly. 

After a while, Knight manages to pull a win over Ricochet and his hand gets raised in the middle of the ring. Ricochet rolls out of the ring and Knight beckons for someone to hand him a microphone. 

"Y/N, why don't you come on down here and interview the megastar, LA Knight, after that win?" He locks eyes with you from the middle of the ring. "Come on, don't be shy now, sweetheart." 

You grit your teeth, secretly hiding the amused smile trying to break its way to the surface. "I'll be right back." You get up from your seat and shoulder past Wade. 

"Atta girl, Y/N." Knight teases you further as you make your way into the ring. "Bring your fine self into the ring, dollface." He parts the ring ropes for you and hands you his microphone. 

You take the microphone and smooth out your dress before you face Knight. He grins at you and waits for you to ask him a question or congratulate him on his victory. 

"LA Knight, congratulations on cheating to pull a win over the very talented Ricochet." You congratulate him. "How does it feel to know that you had to cheat to pull that win?" You bat your eyelashes at him. 

Knight chuckles, clearly into your boldness. "Cute, babydoll. Very cute." He admits. "It's alright, I get it. I know how much I can intimidate women." He grins at you. "But there really isn't any need for you to be nervous around me, sweetheart." 

"Nervous?!" You cackle. "Ha! You wish." You roll your eyes. "Man, you do really believe that you are god's gift to women, don't you?" You laugh at him. 

You smile, thinking that you've got Knight in a corner with your comment. But when he smiles and steps toward you. Well, you aren't so sure anymore. 

"Oh, I may not be god's gift to women." He admits. "But, honey, I am definitely his gift to you." 

'Damn.' You think to yourself as Knight grins at you. 'God he's good.' You find yourself unable to come up with a reply. "Congratulations on the win, Knight." You step back from him. "The Megastar, LA Knight, everyone!" You raise his hand briefly before making your exit from the ring. 

"Told you that I'd get you, dollface." Knight whispers when he parts the ring ropes for you again. "Love the dress by the way. It'd look much better on my hotel floor though." 

You roll your eyes and hurry back over to the commentary table. You shoulder past Wade again and plop back down into your chair in defeat. 

"Well, I think that it's safe to say that round went to LA Knight." Wade teases you. 

"Shut it, Wade!" You bark at him and cross your arms over your chest, clearly flustered from Knight's charm.
