MONDAY NIGHT RAW...

I hated that I was feeling so nervous again, because I was usually the master of keeping cool - hell I was The Architect! I had a great poker face, and an attitude to match. But this comeback was a pretty big deal for me, and even though nerves had started creeping in, I was still going make this an entrance to remember...no matter what!

I pulled on the last of my ring gear and tied on my wristbands, just as my locker room door knocked...

''Yeah?''

''Time Rollins'' the tech guy said, holding the door open for me to follow him out.

My heart beat faster than ever now, wondering what kind of reception I would be met with, with the crowd - boos probably, hopefully a few cheers...come on man you can do this, you can do this. You didn't come this far to pussy out now.

I quickly grabbed the bottle of water next to me, and followed the tech guy out. My heart was still beating fast with every step I took, and continued to do so until we reached the gorilla.

My god, I felt like I was on death row or something! Because as I made my way up to the gorilla, I could see was Superstar, after Superstar, after Superstar all lined up either side of me, wanting to witness the re-debut of the most hated man in all of professional wrestling.

But the more they stared...the more confident I became.

I stood just behind the curtain now, patiently waiting for my que. In a way it felt like I had never left, and I smiled to myself at how familiar it all felt, especially when I opened my bottle of water and drenched my hair and face with it, a tradition I used to love doing with my Shield brothers.

A sudden rush of excitement shot up and down my spine, when my new theme music began to play, with Vince once again proving once he had a great a sense of humour, as it was him who chose my (soon to be) very controversial new theme song.

I'm pretty sure most of the WWE Universe would hate it, but for those of you hardcore fans out there, who loved a good heel return...then sit back and relax, cause you're gonna love the hell outta this one!

I took a final deep breath, shoved a stick of gum into my mouth, and walked through the gorilla...

(YOU CAN LISTEN TO SETHS THEME SONG NOW...)

It was a moment I can only describe as indescribable!

I walked out into the massive arena and looked round, seeing every seat in the house filled with screaming WWE fans! The bright lights of the arena shone brighter than they ever had before, and I knew in my heart that this was where my soul lied.

My god I missed this...I thought, staring up at everything in both awe, and appreciation.

I immediately began feeding off the energy from the crowd, which to my absolute surprise began chanting and cheering my name, and waving their Seth banners frantically in the air....on one side that is. The other side however, booed me like I was Satan!

I never cared, all press is good press right? And if I can bring this kind of emotion out from all these fans, then hey, I must be doing something right...it was all worth it Seth. Everything you did to do to get back here, in the end it was worth it.

I raised my fists up high with my new signature pose, flicked my wet hair back, put my game face on, and made my way down the ramp...

The second I climbed into the ring, I could feel goose bumps forming everywhere on my arms! I looked around at everyone and everything like it was the first time all over again, and there was no doubting this was exactly where I belonged. I was a wrestler at heart, and no matter what happened, no one could ever take that away from me. And now that I was a free man again...I was going to tell the whole world exactly what to expect from the new and improved Seth 'Freakin' Rollins.

FAITH POV:

I wanted to stay hidden in my locker room until it was time for my match, but Roman said we shouldn't show weakness now, and so I stood cowardly behind him, and about 30 other WWE Superstars all gathered round the large monitor by the gorilla, and watched as Seth gave his return speech to the WWE Universe...

SETH POV:

The crowd began to simmer down as soon as I brought the mic up to my lips....and in that instant, I decided to scrap everything that creative and the McMahon's had scripted for me to say. I knew I'd probably get in trouble for it, but I had a lot of making up to do, and the fans deserved better than creative's glamourized speech...they deserved my honesty.

''WWE Universe, you may not wanna hear what I gotta say, but I'm gonna say it anyway...and that's that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did, I'm sorry for breaking up The Shield, and I'm sorry for disappointing all those who believed in me. But most of all...I'm sorry for letting all of you down. But the one thing I am not sorry for, is wanting to come back! Because nothing in my life has ever been more challenging, than to fight the demons that lived inside me...but fight them I did! It took a lot of time and a lot of effort, the same time and effort I'm willing to put back in for all of you night after night, to give you the best show you deserve! I shocked a lot of people when I came back to the WWE. But there were a few people that still believed in me, and I wanna prove to myself and to them that I can still do this. But most of all, I wanna prove it to all of you!'' the entire crowd now start to cheer wildly!

''...because this is the era of Seth 'Freakin' Rollins, and I've come back to Re-design, Re-build and Re-claim!''

And with that I did the 'seen before' but 'still very effective' mic drop! And the crowd cheered louder than I had ever heard it!

*****

''Oh come on!'' Randy yelled at the ref.

''His leg was on the rope Orton!'' the ref yelled back.

Randy being my comeback opponent was Stephanie's idea, in case you were wondering -I don't know why though, but I kinda expected them to put me up against Roman or someone for my return, but she insisted that I battle Randy on my first night.

Randy didn't waste any time trying to score another win, as he dragged me up by my hair, and sent me crashing down into the canvas with a wicked clothesline!

''Aaarrgghhh!!'' I yelled out, holding my hands to my neck.

Randy looked down at me, and smiled that deadly viper smile of his, in a way like this was personal or something.

What the hell was up with him? I had fought Randy many times in the past before, but he seemed to be severely enjoy kicking my ass on a new kinda level tonight. Maybe he was pissed at me like everyone else, or maybe I had just forgotten how tough he was, either way though, there just seemed to be something real off with him...

After getting the schedule, I was actually looking forward to battling Randy in my first match back, but with the harsh way he was kicking my ass right now, it kind of felt like I was fighting for my life! I watched as he began circling me again, so I quickly flipped back up to my feet and kept the energy going by lunging at him! Randy had always been quick, and nothing had changed, as he caught me mid-air and flipped me over, slamming my back into the canvas for a three count, which I managed to kick out of just by the skin of my teeth!

My comeback was 'much anticipated' Vince had told me, so he set it up for me to win that night, but the way Orton was going at me, I wonder if he ever got the memo?

His over the top aggressive nature was showing no signs of slowing down, as he yanked me outside the ring, and arm dragged me straight into the steel steps! I lay there flat on my back, trying to will myself to get the hell up, but my body wasn't listening. Orton didn't care about that, still aggressively dragging my sore body back into the ring for another three count, which again, I just managed to kick out of. He picked me up now, and set me on the side corner turnbuckle, setting me up for a top rope Super-plex, but by that time, I had regained some strength back, and slid down between his legs, where I just managed to hold him up for a sit up power bomb! He came crashing down, and I covered him for a three count, which he quickly kicked out of. Without giving him a chance to recover, I quickly got to my feet , and ran the ropes over him, before jumping up and slamming his head hard into the canvas with The Curve Stomp!

''ONE...TWO...THREE!'' The ref yelled.

''The winner of tonight's match, in his return debut...Seth...Roooooolllllliiins!'' the announcer said.

I was so out of breath, but smiling happily as the ref raised my hand in victory, and I looked round at the WWE Universe who was both cheering and booing me loudly...whatever, because I did it baby! I grinned happily to myself.

Just then the crowd started screaming and pointing, and by the time I looked behind me...it was too late. Randy managed to take me out with a vicious RKO, and I never saw it coming.

Even though I was flat out, I could clearly hear Randy's words as he hovered over me ''What's the matter Seth, still a little rusty? Not my problem'' his voice slithered in my ears, before picking me up once more and RKO'ing me again!

He really must have voices in his head...I thought angrily...because none of this was in the god damn script! I took it like a man though, but needless to say I wasn't happy, I wasn't happy at all!

I decided to have words with Stephanie after the show.

*****

''Look at him Stephanie! He's just sitting there grinning!'' I exclaimed in an exasperated tone ''well? Are you gonna let him get away with going off script like that?!'' I yelled again.

I'd been Stephanie's office for 30 minutes already, and was getting absolutely nowhere. She didn't look upset, she didn't even look phased by the fact that Randy Orton had gone way over the script in kicking my ass out there tonight!

Did I tell you he RKO'd me yet another time after that! Asshole!

And as for Randy, he just sat there smirking up at me, looking all cocky and confident while I let off steam.

''Look Seth, this is the wrestling entertainment industry, and sometimes you have to put a little extra in to give the show a real good performance'' Stephanie said.

''Yeah I know that Steph, I too bring the same energy to all may matches, but no matter what- I still play by the scri-''

''So...'' she said cutting me off ''I'm not going to penalize Randy for his performance out there tonight. The crowd was happy, and it made for great television viewing with your comeback and all'' she continued.

''So your just gonna let him get away with it? Oh this is ridiculous!'' I said throwing my hands up in the air with frustration. Irritated, I turned my attention to Randy ''this was supposed to be my big come back man, and you do this? What the hell were you thinking!'' I barked in his face!

''I was thinking RKO'' he smiled casually.

That's when I made an angry lunge for him, but Stephanie quickly stood in between us, separating us both with her arms before we caused mayhem in her office ''Alright that's enough! Seth, you need to calm down, I get why your upset, but you will not behave like this in my office understood?'' she said, glaring her eyes up at me McMahon style.

I just looked down at her and gritted my teeth ''you know what Steph, forget it! Maybe I'll just go and talk with Vince instead, how does that sound?'' I knew I had overstepped the mark when I dropped her father's name, but I had every right to be pissed off right now!

Her face slowly changed to the one that usually strikes fear in anyone who crosses her, and for the first time, it struck the fear in me, as she took a step closer and very slowly said ''Do you have a problem because I'm a woman Seth?''

Wow, you're really gonna go there Steph? I thought, irritably pursing my lips at her, and I had to bite my tongue from answering: ...no, I have a problem because you're a bitch! Not because you're a woman.

''No ma'am'' I said, trying to calm myself down now.

''Good!'' she hissed ''Now get out of my office, and if you ever speak to me like that again, I'll make sure my father cancels your contract effective immediately!'' and with that, she shoved me out of her office and slammed the door in my face!

''Oh you'd like that wouldn't you?'' I mumbled under my breath.

After angrily banging my fist on the wall, I turned and headed back down toward my locker room, still cursing under my breath on the way, so much so that I failed to see the massive 6ft 8 wrestler standing in front of me, casing me to stop dead in my tracks with fear...it was Braun Strowman.

Shit...

He looked down at me like a crazy person that was high on rage!

''You know Seth, when I heard you were coming back to the WWE, I thought it was just some sick-ass joke, that he wouldn't dare do something so stupid. But you're every bit as stupid as you look boy! And I suggest you stay the hell out of my way, because Dean Ambrose was a good friend of mine, and I'm still looking to crush the man who hurt him with my bare hands! Hell they don't call me the Monster Among Men for nothing!!'' he barked heaving his massive chest up and down at me.

OK I don't need this, I'm soooo outta here!

''You got it big guy'' I said like a coward, before hurrying the rest of the way back to my locker.

Jesus he was scary!!

FAITH POV:

I was just coming back from catering, and was heading up toward my locker. I didn't want to bump into Seth on tonight...or ever for that fact. And so I went round the outside, and came up through the back of the arena, but on the way, I bumped into someone else I didn't want to see either...Randy Orton.

I stepped to the left to let him pass, and he did the same ''Ooops! Sorry'' I giggled, my eyes glued to the floor, so I quickly stepped right, and did the same. I looked up now, and he towered over me with those deadly viper eyes of his...

''What is it with you huh? Trouble seems to follow you wherever you go doesn't it Faith...'' he hissed, leaning his face down at me like a snake in my ear ''well, maybe I will too now'' he said, in a venomous tone. I just quickly hurried down the hall and locked myself in my room.

Jesus he was scary!!
