The moment was interrupted as their friends made their way down the hallway, April, Nick, Kofi, and Sheamus. Stu and Drew followed close behind, with Drew gingerly holding an ice pack to his cheek, a result of the fierce match they had just been part of and hit taking the Dragon's shot right in the face.

April, always the first to speak her mind, grinned broadly as she approached the trio. "That was one hell of a promo out there, Sandro! You really lit a fire tonight."

Nick nodded, his expression one of admiration. "Man, you've got a way with words. That was powerful. We're all behind you on this. The women's division deserves to be on top, and you just made sure everyone knows it."

Kofi, ever the positive force in the locker room, clapped Sandro on the back. "That was inspirational, brother. You've got everyone talking now. This is going to be huge for FCW."

Sheamus, known for his no-nonsense attitude, gave a curt nod of approval. "Fair play to you, fella. That took guts, and it's going to pay off. We're with you all the way."

Stu, still somewhat bruised from his previous encounter with Sandro, managed a smile. "You've got heart, Sandro. And you're right our women deserve that title. You've got my support."

Drew, despite the discomfort from the ice pack, offered a sincere nod. "I might be nursing this cheek mate, but I can't deny what you said out there. It's time for a change, and you've got the locker room's backing behind you including me, mate."

Sandro looked at the gathering of his friends, his heart swelling with pride. "Thank you, all of you," he said, his voice steady and strong. "This isn't just my fight, it's our fight. We all know how hard these women work, and it's time the world sees it too. Together, we're going to make this happen."

April stepped forward, her tone serious now. "This is the moment we've been waiting for. The fans are behind us, the locker room is behind us, and after that promo, management is going to have to listen. But we need to keep the momentum going. We can't let this be a one-time thing. We've got to push this until it's undeniable."

Nicole, regaining her composure, nodded in agreement. "April's right. We've got to keep the pressure on. We need to show everyone that the women's division is ready to take center stage."

Brianna chimed in, her voice filled with determination. "And when that title is finally created, it's not just about winning it. It's about proving every single night that we belong at the top, that we can main event, that we are the future of this company."

Sandro smiled at the determination in their voices. This was exactly what he had hoped to ignite a fire that would spread throughout the locker room and beyond, which hopefully kickstart the women's revolution much earlier and allow easier times for the women wrestlers.

Kofi raised a hand, drawing attention back to him. "And let's not forget, it's not just about the women's division. This is about making FCW the best it can be. If the women shine, we all shine. We've got to support each other and make this company a place where everyone gets their chance to be a star."

Sheamus crossed his arms, his expression serious. "And that means no half measures. If we're going to do this, we've got to do it right, fella. We need to be behind this every step of the way, inside the ring and out."

Nick looked around at the group, his gaze focused. "We need to be smart about this, people. We've got to keep the fans engaged, keep them talking, and make sure they know we're serious. If we do that, there's no way management can ignore us."

Stu, who had been quiet up until now, finally spoke up. "And we've got to show them that this isn't just about titles. It's about respect, it's about equality, and it's about giving the fans the best damn show they can get."

Drew nodded in agreement, wincing slightly as the movement aggravated his cheek. "And we can't let up. Not for a second. We've got to keep pushing, keep fighting, and make sure that this isn't just a moment—it's the beginning of a movement, mate."

Taking a deep breath, Sandro looked around at the group, his expression resolute. "Then let's do this," he said, his voice filled with determination. "Let's make this happen, together. We've got the fans behind us, we've got the locker room behind us, and now we just need to keep pushing until the higher-ups have no choice but to listen."

Nicole and Brianna nodded, their expressions filled with determination. April, Nick, Kofi, Sheamus, Stu, and Drew all echoed their agreement, the energy in the room palpable.

As they were finished talking, the door to the locker room opened, and Dusty Rhodes walked in, followed closely by Steve Keirn. The room fell silent as everyone turned to face the two men, the air thick with anticipation.

Dusty, his eyes twinkling with pride, looked around the room, taking in the faces of the wrestlers who had just poured their hearts into a cause they believed in. He could feel the passion, the energy, the drive to make a change, and it warmed his heart knowing that many shared the same idea as him.

"Well, well," Dusty began, his voice carrying the weight of experience and authority, "I see we've got ourselves a little movement going on here."

The group stood tall, facing Dusty and Steve with a sense of purpose. This was their moment, and they were ready to fight for it.

Dusty smiled, a knowing look in his eyes. "I saw that promo out there, Sandro. You got the people talking, you got the locker room fired up, and you got the attention of management. And let me tell you something, that's not an easy thing to do."

Steve nodded in agreement, his expression serious. "We've been talking to the higher-ups, and they've been paying attention to what's been happening out there. This isn't something that's going to be decided overnight, but let me tell you, you've made an impact. They're listening."

Dusty stepped forward, his gaze focused on Sandro, Nicole, and Brianna. "You three, you've got something special. You've got the drive, the passion, and the talent to take this company to the next level. And that's exactly what we need."

Nicole, feeling a surge of hope, spoke up. "So what does that mean? Are they going to create the women's title?"

Dusty smiled a glint of determination in his eyes. "It means that we're going to keep pushing, keep fighting, and keep making our voices heard. This is just the beginning. But with all of you behind this, I have no doubt that we're going to get there."

Steve stepped in, his tone serious. "This isn't going to be easy. There are going to be challenges, there are going to be people who don't want to see this happen. But if you're all committed, if you're all willing to fight for it, then I believe we can make this a reality."

Sandro looked around at his fellow wrestlers, seeing the fire in their eyes, the determination on their faces. This was their moment, and they were ready to seize it.

"Then let's make it happen," Sandro said, his voice filled with conviction. "We've got the fans, we've got the locker room, and now we've got the attention of management. Let's keep pushing until there's no choice but to give the women's division the recognition it deserves."

Dusty nodded, a proud smile on his face. "That's what I like to hear. Now go out there and make some noise. Show everyone that the women of FCW are ready to take their place at the top."

Everyone, including Sandro, let out a cheer in support of Dusty's words. The energy in the room was electric, a testament to the belief and hope that had taken root among the wrestlers.

Dusty and Steve exchanged satisfied glances, their smiles reflecting a sense of pride. The morale among the FCW roster was the highest it had ever been since the company's establishment. The wrestlers were united, not just as individuals but as a collective force ready to fight for change.

For the next two weeks, Sandro threw himself into his work with renewed vigor. Every match, every promo, every interaction with the fans was a calculated move to build momentum, not just for himself but for the cause they were all fighting for.

Dusty and Steve had taken a keen interest in Sandro's trajectory, strategically booking him in a series of singles matches designed to showcase his skills and have him win every match to build his credibility as a top contender in FCW.

Sandro's first match in this streak was against Caylen Croft. The two had a shared history before, where Croft was someone Sandro had once viewed as a big asshole and Caylen sees him as an upstart rookie, but over time, their mutual respect had grown.

The match was intense, a display of technical wrestling mixed with high-impact moves that kept the audience on the edge of their seats. Sandro secured the win with his finisher move, the Dragon's Shot, a finishing maneuver that had become synonymous with his persona as the "Florida Dragon." The crowd erupted, their cheers a clear indication of their growing support for Sandro.

Next up was Nick Nemeth, a match that had the potential to be emotionally challenging for Sandro. Nick was not just a fellow wrestler, for Sandro he was his first mentor and best friend here in FCW.

The bond they shared made the stakes higher, but both men understood the importance of the match. They gave it their all, pushing each other to the limit in a bout that was as much about showcasing their friendship as it was about competition.

In the end, Sandro emerged victorious, and the respect between the two was evident to themselves, and as they need to keep kayfabe where as Nick smacked Sandro's extended hand for a handshake in the ring, eliciting loud boos from the crowd.

Sandro's third match was against Gavin Spears, a wrestler whom Sandro had seen several times before in his past life. Gavin was known for his technical prowess and in the future he would join WWE and change his ring name to Tye Dillinger, and changed to Shawn Spears when he left WWE.

The match was a test of endurance and skill, with both men pulling out all the stops. Sandro's victory over Gavin was hard-fought, but it was clear that the fans were firmly behind him.

The final match in this series was against Ryback, a powerhouse who was known for his brute strength. Ryback was a formidable opponent, and the match was a grueling test of Sandro's resilience.

The crowd was fully invested, rallying behind Sandro as he took hit after hit, refusing to stay down. In a dramatic turn of events, Sandro managed to counter Ryback's devastating powerbomb with a swift Dragon's Shot, securing his sixth consecutive win. The fans were on their feet, chanting Sandro's name as he stood victorious in the ring, his persona now fully cemented in their hearts.

Throughout these two weeks, Sandro didn't just focus on his matches. He made sure to cut passionate promos, both before and after his bouts, where he advocated for the creation of the women's title. He spoke directly to the fans, tapping into their emotions and their desire for change.

His words were powerful, resonating with everyone who believed that the women of FCW deserved to be recognized for their talent and hard work. Sandro knew that his momentum in the ring had to be matched with momentum in the cause he was fighting for, and he used every opportunity to keep that momentum going.

Meanwhile, the women of FCW were stepping up their game as well. April, Nicole, and Brianna led the charge, delivering performances that were nothing short of spectacular.

Their matches were a showcase of athleticism, storytelling, and sheer willpower. Each promo they cut was filled with determination, echoing Sandro's message and rallying the fans to their side. The synergy between Sandro's efforts and the women's performances created a groundswell of support among the FCW fanbase, who were now vocal in their demands for the women's title.

As everything seemed to be going well, a phone call from Sandro's father shattered his focus. The Lehman Brothers had announced their bankruptcy, triggering a financial crisis that sent shockwaves throughout the United States and beyond. The economy was in freefall, and every sector was affected. Sandro listened to his father explain the gravity of the situation, as he never expected that the crisis would happen much faster than he knew.
