I own nothing, characters belong to WWE and cards belong to Konami.

I rediscovered Yugioh GX after an episode of Raw upset me a while back. As I watched the episodes, I wondered what it would look like to see the WWE characters dueling like in the anime. That's where this came from lol. I didn't want to just jump right into the duels without a setup, so this is just setting up the location. The first duel will be in the next chapter. Hint: it pins a new student against one of the school's top duelists.

Hope you enjoy:)

World Dueling Institute (WDI), a school where people come to learn the art of dueling to prepare them for the pro league. Its chairman, Vince McMahon, wanted to create a place where anyone can have fun learning about the cards and various strategies. He wanted to have an environment where they didn't feel trapped, like they wanted to be there.

For years, the school's had amazing success. Thousands of students enrolled and went on to succeed in the pro league. It was the most popular dueling school in the world.

The students were divided into three dorms based on their skill and grades. The dorms were named after three of the school's top students in the beginning years. All three dorms have two separate buildings, one for boys and one for girls.

The higher-ranked students were placed in the Hunter Gold dorm, named after the chairman's favorite student Hunter, which later became his son-in-law when he married his daughter years after graduating. This dorm was mostly for the higher-end students, kids who were rich and fulfilled specific requirements. Not only do you need high grades from the entrance exams, but you also need a diploma from a prep school before enrolling. The dorms are very luxurious, built like castles and with large bedrooms and fancy food to boot. Defiantly a high-end dorm.

The middle road students were in the Rock Blue dorm, named after a student who liked to call himself The Rock, who was known for his charisma as well as his dueling ability. Students here got excellent scores during the entrance exams, but didn't have the prep school experience. Sure the dorms weren't as luxurious as the Hunter's, but the food was good and the living conditions were great. Standard rank, nothing special.

The very bottom was the Austin Black dorm, named after the chairman's most hated student, Steve Austin. He hated him with every fiber of his being; he never did the work and always disrespected him. But, he never broke the rules to the point of getting expelled, and he was an amazing duelist despite the grades. Because of the hatred, the dorm is in terrible, but livable, conditions. And the students here had the worst grades and are bad duelists compared to the others. The Hunter's often insult them, calling them 'Scum' and making it a point that they shouldn't be there. Some get discouraged and drop out of the school, but it wasn't very many. Most stay strong and either move up ranks, or be proud graduating as an Austin.

Currently, there are two Austin's that are making their mark in the school.

One was a small junior named Daniel Bryan. Now Vince honestly didn't want someone like him in his school, but after his entrance exam, the faculty really wanted him there and Vince caved. Although he does his work and shows no disrespect whatsoever, he's just…not up there in his dueling ability. Sure he's good, but not…that good. Some of the students are trying to get him at least in the Rock dorm, but Vince and a lot of the Hunter's forbid it. They make it difficult for Daniel to get to the next dorm. But he's not discouraged. He doesn't mind the Austin dorm, but still wants to climb the ladder.

The other was a sophomore, Dean Ambrose. Again, he's not as disrespectful as Austin was, but he does not do his homework. His grades are poor as can be without leaving the school and he talks back to some of the teachers. However, he's an amazing duelist, one of the best Vince has ever seen. And again, the students want him to move up dorms, but Vince doesn't want someone like him to move up when he doesn't fit that mold. But Dean doesn't seem to care about moving up ranks, he's content in the Austin dorm.

This is the start of a new year, and there will be four more additions to the school, each from a branch of the school. Everyone was eager for the new students, new competition, new challenges.

What's in store for the current students?
