Growing up, I was always a huge fan of WWE. As a kid, I could never attend any shows because there just wasn’t enough money for my brother and me to go. Last year, we finally attended two shows for the first time and had an amazing time. Last week, I took my younger sister, Sophia, who has recently gained interest in WWE, to her first show.
I heard that WWE Monday Night Raw was going to be in Ontario, California—about an hour from where we live—and thought this would be the perfect birthday gift for her. Sophia tends to pick up interests from my brother and me, whether it’s basketball, soccer or football. She began watching WWE with me in April while I was watching WrestleMania and has been hooked ever since. When I let her know I would be taking her to a show, she screamed in excitement.
A week prior, it was announced that the main event would feature Jey Uso challenging for the Intercontinental Championship. Sophia and I were thrilled, hoping she would get to see him win his first singles championship. When it was time for the match, she jumped for joy as he entered the arena, cheering him on the entire time. After nearly 30 minutes, Jey Uso pulled off the win, achieving his dream while Sophia completed one of hers.
You know you totally won the sibling of the year award, too, right? What a magical experience! (Only child here, but I did enjoy taking my younger cousins to slightly scary movies.)
ReplyDeleteI was also a big WWE fan growing up and I can relate to this experience so much as I did something similar with my little sister. She also became a fan because we would always be watching it. I attended my first WWE show with her and it was a Friday Night Smackdown in December 2021 at the Staples Center. It felt special because it was something I never got to experience as a child but I was able to give that experience to my sister. It sounds like your sister had a lot of fun, hopefully it's a memory you both can always look back on and smile.
