She's leaning against a production crate when @kngdrip comes through the curtain. The moment she sees him, a slow grin spreads across her face; wide, unapologetic, a little too pleased with what she just witnessed. "Well, look who decided to remind everyone he’s still alive," she drawls, pushing herself upright. Her eyes flick toward the arena like she can still hear the echo of Heyman hitting the mat. " I gotta admit… watching you curb stomp Heyman like that? Might’ve been the highlight of my night."
She steps a little closer, crossing her arms but clearly not putting much effort into hiding the excitement written all over her. "So what’s the verdict, then?" Rhea asks, tilting her head as she studies him like she’s assessing the damage herself. "How’s it feel being cleared and back where you belong? Shoulder holding up alright?" Her voice carries that casual edge she uses when she’s pretending she isn’t paying very close attention.
Her gaze drifts over him again, slower this time, and the smirk that follows is impossible to miss. "Because I’m not gonna lie, Rollins…" she says, lowering her voice just a touch." You looked g o o d out there. Real good. Like you never missed a step." There’s a spark in her eyes that has nothing to do with the match and everything to do with the energy still crackling between them.
Rhea leans back against the crate again, arms unfolding as if she’s decided not to bother pretending there’s distance between them. "The whole arena felt it when you came back," she adds quietly, eyes still locked on his. "That kind of return? That’s the kind people talk about for a long time." A beat passes before her smirk returns, sharp and knowing. "Guess the real question now is… what are you planning to do with all that momentum, huh?"
