Sandro seized the opportunity. He climbed to the top rope, the crowd's cheers growing louder. With a deep breath, he launched himself into the air, executing a perfect flying shooting star press on Stu. The impact was tremendous, and Sandro quickly covered Stu for the pin. The referee's hand slapped the mat once, twice, and before the thrice time, Stu kicked out from the pin in the dismay of the crowd and Sandro who acted while telling the reference should have been three.
The referee said no and the match would continue to the dismay of Sandro, who then positioned Stu once again in the zone. Sandro climbed up the top rope, but this time Drew climbed onto the side of the ring and distracted both Sandro and the referee who was telling him to get down.
At this moment, Stu took out a brass knuckle from his pants and stood up. He hit Sandro across the face with the brass knuckles, causing him to fall down face first into the ring. The crowd booed loudly at Stu's actions including Sandro's parent who takes personal to Stu's actions.
Stu threw the brass knuckles out of the ring and pinned Sandro. Drew, seeing this, got down, allowing the referee to start the count. Before the third count, Sandro kicked out, causing the crowd to cheer while Stu and Drew had a meltdown.
Angry and flabbergasted, Stu brought Sandro to his feet and threw him onto the ropes, positioning himself to hit Sandro with his finisher, the spinebuster. But Sandro managed to counter Stu's finisher by hitting him with a flying clothesline.
Rallying the crowd to stand behind him who let out loud cheers and claps, he then hit Stu with his finisher, which he called the Dragon's Shot, a modification of the shining wizard similar to the last shot done by Adam Cole in WWE.
After successfully hitting his finisher on Stu, Sandro went for the pin, and the referee counted to three. The bell rang, signaling Sandro's victory. The arena erupted in cheers as Sandro stood victorious, his arm raised in triumph.
Drew, furious, tried to attack Sandro from behind, but Sandro was ready. He ducked under Drew's swing and delivered a swift superkick, sending Drew tumbling out of the ring. The crowd roared in approval.
Sandro stood in the center of the ring, soaking in the adulation from the fans. He couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. This was the moment he had dreamed of, the moment he had worked so hard for. He looked out into the crowd and saw his parents, Jack and Taylor, beaming with pride. Their smiles and cheers made the victory even sweeter.
After a few moments, Sandro grabbed a microphone. The crowd quieted down, eager to hear what he had to say. "Thank you, FCW family!" Sandro began, his voice filled with emotion. "This victory isn't just mine but it's ours! Thank you for your support, your energy, and your belief in me. This is just the beginning. Sandro Zhang The Florida Dragon is here to stay!"
The crowd erupted once more, chanting Sandro's name. As he made his way back up the ramp, he high-fived fans and took in the incredible atmosphere. Backstage, his friends and fellow wrestlers were waiting for him, ready to congratulate him on his successful debut.
April was the first to approach him, wrapping him in a tight hug. "You did it, Sandro! You were amazing out there!"
"Thanks, April," Sandro replied, smiling. "I couldn't have done it without all of you."
Nicole and Brianna joined in, both giving him a hug as well. "You were incredible," Nicole said, her eyes shining with admiration.
Brianna nodded. "Yeah, you really showed them what you're made of."
Dusty Rhodes appeared, clapping Sandro on the back. "You did good, kid. I knew you had it in you. Keep this up, and you'll go far in this business."
"Thanks, Dusty," Sandro said, feeling a swell of gratitude. "I won't let you down."
Later that evening, after the adrenaline had worn off and the arena had emptied, Sandro sat with his parents in a quiet corner of the backstage area. Jack and Taylor were beaming with pride, their faces glowing with happiness.
"We're so proud of you, son," Jack said, his voice filled with emotion. "You've worked so hard for this, and seeing you succeed is the best feeling in the world."
Taylor nodded, tears in her eyes. "You've always been our dragon, Sandro. Now the world knows it too."
Sandro smiled, feeling a deep sense of contentment. "Thanks, Mom and Dad. I couldn't have done it without your support."
As they sat together, reminiscing and sharing stories, Sandro felt a sense of peace and fulfillment. This was just the beginning of his journey, and he knew that with the support of his family and friends, he could achieve anything.
Unknown to Sandro and his parents, however, on the FCW community website discussion about Sandro's debut match was ongoing with many giving a high score and having high expectations for him, of course, there were also haters but it was just a small amount.
The next day, Sandro was back at the FCW Headquarters, ready to continue his training after driving his parent to the Airport to return back to Orlando.
He knew that one victory didn't make a career, and he was determined to keep improving and proving himself. He spent hours in the ring, working on new moves and perfecting his technique.
During a break, Sandro received a call from the costume designer. They had some ideas for additional gear that would complement his persona. Sandro was excited to hear their suggestions and agreed to meet with them later in the week.
Meanwhile, Nicole and Brianna approached him with an idea. "Hey, Sandro," Nicole said, her tone excited. "We were thinking, it might be fun to do some six man mixed tag team matches together on the house show in two days. What do you think?"
Sandro considered the idea before nodding his head. "That sounds great. I'd love to team up with you two."
Brianna grinned. "Awesome! We'll talk to Dusty and see if we can set something up."
As the day went by, Sandro's schedule became busier. He continued to train, meet with the costume designer, and prepare for his next match. He also spent time working on his promo skills, knowing that being a great wrestler was about more than just in-ring ability it was also about connecting with the audience.
In the evening, as Sandro was leaving the training facility, he ran into April. She looked a bit nervous, and Sandro could tell she had something on her mind.
"Hey, April," Sandro said, smiling. "What's up?"
April hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Sandro, I wanted to talk to you about something. I know we've been friends for a while, but I can't deny that I have this attraction for you. I know things have been complicated with Nicole and Brianna, but I wanted to be honest with you."
Sandro was taken aback by April's confession. He had always appreciated her support and friendship, but he hadn't realized the depth of her feelings. "April, I—" he began, unsure of what to say.
April held up a hand, stopping him. "You don't have to say anything right now. I just wanted you to know how I feel. Whatever happens, I value our friendship and I don't want things to be awkward between us."
Sandro nodded, feeling a mix of emotions. "Thank you for being honest with me, April. I value our friendship too, and I promise to think about what you've said."
As April walked away, Sandro couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed. Between his future matches, his training, and the complicated dynamics with Nicole, Brianna, and April, he had a lot on his mind.
That night, as Sandro lay in bed, he reflected on everything that had happened. He knew he needed to sort out his feelings and figure out what he wanted.
The next day, Sandro woke up still confused about how to sort his feelings out and felt that he needed some advice. He decided to call his friends Nick, Kofi, Drew, Sheamus, and Stu for a hangout at his apartment. When everyone arrived one by one, Sandro explained the confusion he was having and how he didn't want to hurt Nicole, Brianna, and April's feelings.
Nick was the first to speak up. "Sandro, you can't make everyone happy. When you make your choice, you're going to hurt the feelings of two people. But you need to be honest with yourself. Who do you feel the strongest attraction to between the three women?"
Sandro let out a rueful smile and said bitterly, "I have feelings for all three of them, but the strongest one is for April. I like her and I am interested in getting to know her more, maybe even starting a relationship. As for the Bella Twins, while I'm attracted to them, it could be because of them constantly teasing me. Maybe if I get to know them more, I could decide whether I want a relationship with either one of them."
Everyone was silent for a moment, processing Sandro's words. Sandro continued, "I know I sound like a scumbag for thinking like this, and that's why I don't want to choose right now. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But with April taking her shot, I'm confused about what to do."
At this time, Kofi asked, "Why don't you be with all three of them?"
Sandro immediately reacted angrily. "How could I do that? That means I would truly be a scumbag and hurt Nicole, Brianna, and April's feelings."
Seeing Sandro react so strongly, everyone tried to calm him down. Kofi, with confusion in his voice, said, "Do you not know that polygamy is allowed by society and law? I thought that with your coming from a rich background, you would know about this."
Listening to Kofi's words, Sandro gave a blank stare, showing that he didn't know what Kofi meant. Sheamus stepped in to explain, "In 2000, all world governments agreed to allow polygamy, but only if the people involved wanted it and had the financial means to pay the bills and daily necessities. They also need to pass many interviews and sign numerous documents before being allowed to have more than one spouse. This law works for both men and women."
Sandro was stunned and confusion still etched across his face. "I had no idea about this. My parents never mentioned it, I don't know why. I also never think of looking this up, and I'm sure that my television and newspaper must have been changed by my parents now that I think about it."
Nick chimed in, "It's not something that comes up in regular conversation anymore these days, since it has become a norm and not many people practice it due to may still believe in singular relationships, even many rich people never do polygamy. But it's true. If you have the means and everyone's consent, it's legally possible."
Sandro took a deep breath, trying to process this new information. "So, you're saying that if all three of them agree, I could be in a relationship with all of them?"
Drew nodded. "Yes, but it's a big decision. You need to think about it carefully and talk to each of them honestly. It's about more than just the law, mate. Remember it's also about mutual respect and understanding, you can't force them if they don't want to do it."
The group spent the rest of the day talking about Sandro's situation. They gave him advice and shared their perspectives, helping him to see things more clearly. By the end of the day, Sandro felt a bit more at ease, but he knew he had a lot of thinking to do.
