―RED[src]
**Red Patterson**, better known by the ring name **RED**, is a created wrestler and the female protagonist of MyPlayer mode in *WWE 2K20*.

This version of RED was made by pm58790.

## Appearance

RED is a female cruiserweight from Fulton, NY. She has a very fair skin complexion and has a slender, athletic build. She has short brown hair that is cut above the shoulder length, with red hair dye on her right bang with distinctive blonde streak on her left bang and white highlights on her right bang and brown eyes, orange makeup on her upper eyelids. She also has a dragon tattoo on her the right side of her belly and a tattoo sleeve on her right arm, an intricate design featuring flowers, butterflies, and a yellowed skull with Japanese characters under it, and a red kanji (赤) on her back.

For her ring attire, she has a light blue top with white on the inside part and pale-yellow lining. For both her hands, she has white cuffs with pale yellow lining on her wrist, a red studded with black lining armbands, and black fingerless gloves. RED also has trunks reverting the colors with white outside and blue inside with transparent black leggings and blue boots with white, brown, and small amounts of yellow on them. Under her top is a naval piercing.

In her entrance attire, she wears a red hood on top of her head, a black top with dark brown high-collared jacket and cyan scarf. On the back of her jacket is the logo of Red Hood and RED (from *Hyperdimension Neptunia*).

Just before she cashes in on Carmella for her Raw Women's Championship on *Raw*, she has a white bionic arm with a red armband on her right arm. For some reasons, it is implied that Ronda applied an armbar on top of the ladder during the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match. Her right knee pad is replaced with a black knee brace.

## History

### Background

Before RED started her wrestling career, she met her childhood friend, Trevor Staggs, who is attending the same high school as her from Fulton, NY. At some point, she and Tre's adoptive parents learn that his real parents have recently died, and she forges an apology letter from them in order to spare him the grief. One day, they wrote down every accomplishment they need to achieve during their wrestling days until they are interrupted by the school bully, Brooklyn Von Braun, where she is beaten by her. This led to both RED and Tre humiliated in front of the entire school.

After high school, RED and Tre start their road trip to Calgary to train at the Dungeon with Bret Hart but discover the Hit Man no longer lives there. As a last resort, they seek out the wrestling school of ex-WWE dropout Reilly Flash. She teams up with Tre in a mixed gender tag team against El Mago Jr and Josie Jane. During the match, Tre was showboating to the imaginary crowd, causing him to let his guard down and allowing El Mago Jr to take the advantage and get the win for his team.

### Independent circuit

In her first match at Winter Fest in Calgary, RED defeated Peyton Royce after multiple distractions from Tre. When she learns their time in Calgary was funded on deceiving Tre's adoptive parents, she was understandably mad but relents to being more open with him, though she has to stop herself from revealing the true nature of the letter.

At Memphis Baseball Stadium, she interrupted and challenged Lita to a match, of which she went on to victory. At Los Angeles Wrestling in Los Angeles, CA, she defeated Candice LeRae in singles competition. Unfortunately, she did not qualify for the 2017 Mae Young Classic.

Few years later, Red and Tre returned home to their hometown, Fulton. The head of BCW, Barron Blade has set up a BCW show in their old high school gym. He asks them to be part of the BCW roster, but they declined the offer. She would lose to Josie Jane, following a distraction from Brooklyn Von Braun.

### WWE

#### Mae Young Classic

She receives a phone call that she's been offered for a chance to enter the 2019 Mae Young Classic, on which she accepts. She battles in all four rounds, leading up to facing off against Rhea Ripley in the finals at the Evolution PPV, where she was victorious.

#### Debut and NXT Women's Champion

After her victory in the Mae Young Classic, Triple H offered her a contract, but RED wanted Tre to have a contract as well, on which he accepted much to Tre's disapproval. She battles Rhea Ripley for the #1 contendership for Candice's NXT Women's Championship, but the match ended in a draw after both Rhea and RED's shoulders are down. The match was announced for NXT TakeOver: New York 2019 that Candice LeRae will defend her NXT Women's Championship in a triple threat match against both of them. Before the contract signing, Tre told RED that she should play mind games with Rhea by bringing out the Mae Young trophy. Either way, Rhea is gonna give RED an eye injury either by attacking her with the trophy or smacking her head to a table.

At NXT TakeOver: New York 2019, she defeated Candice and Rhea to become the new NXT Women's champion. On an NXT show some time after TakeOver: New York, she successfully retained her title against Candice in an "Iron Woman" rematch.

#### Main Roster; Championship pursuits

Sometime after her main roster debut, RED battles Ronda Rousey for a spot in the women's Money in the Bank ladder match, where she lost to Rousey following a distraction by Samoa Joe, who is completely furious after he loses the Universal title to Tre earlier that night. She then gets a 'Last Chance match' against Bayley, Sonya Deville and Tamina, for the final spot at the Money in the Bank ladder match.

* After you let Tre interferes in your match, then she would have to battle Bayley again in the "Last, Last Chance" match.
* After you decline his offer, she would team up with both Rousey and Belair in a six-woman tag team match against Baszler, Charlotte, and Zelina.

At Money in the Bank, she wins the Women's money in the bank ladder match. After the PPV, Carmella destroys her briefcase by throwing it to a garbage truck. On the Raw after Money in the Bank, Tre reveals he salvaged RED's contract, and she cashes in on Carmella, despite Carmella claiming the contract was not valid, to win the Raw Women's Championship.

While Tre auditions for the starring role in Rank and File 4, RED defends her title against Bianca, who claims RED has been skating by on sub-par opponents. When she tries to phone in an audition as well, she learns that Brooklyn has already gotten the female lead, leading to an altercation. On the final Raw before SummerSlam, she teams with Tre against The Miz and Maryse. During the match, she was distracted by Brooklyn Von Braun showing the footage of her backstage getting beaten up by Brooklyn during the audition, allowing Maryse to give herself and her husband the win. At SummerSlam, Red ties up Brooklyn long enough for Tre to defeat Miz, then goes on to defend her title against Charlotte, who was annoyed that RED was stealing the spotlight she thought was hers and furious that RED didn't consider beating her worthy enough to be included on the list.

On SmackDown Live, GM Big Show was about to announced Mickie's retirement, but RED intervened to give her another chance and gave Mickie a career-threatening ultimatum, which Mickie hesitantly accepts. She would team with Mickie against the longest reigning 'Australian' tag champs, The Iiconics, for a title opportunity at Super ShowDown under Australian Rules, which they won.

#### Longest-reigning Women's Champion

After Mickie wins the SmackDown women's title, RED starts to feel anxious about the title, as she hadn't expected Mickie's winning streak to last that long. Backstage, Tre gives her an option: either she try to lose the Women's Tag titles and end Mickie's career, or she can challenge Mickie to a match where she retires Mickie and vacate the tag titles.

* If she chooses option 1, then a cutscene shows that Mickie, her tag team partner, will overhear her plan. They go on to defend their Women's Tag Team titles against Lana and Lacey Evans. During the match, Mickie tags herself in and knocked out Lana, thus retaining their titles. She then chastises RED for the insincere way she chose to have her retired and agrees to give her a Smackdown Women's Title match, but only on the condition that she put the list on the line as well, which RED begrudgingly accepts.
* If she challenges Mickie, then a cutscene will appear where RED is extremely anxious when she tells Mickie that she wants the SmackDown women's title. Mickie gladly accepts, stating she's the only one who deserves the right to end her legendary career. Choosing that option will give her an additional cutscene where the remorse RED performs Mickie's own move.

At Backlash, she defeated Mickie James to win the SmackDown Women's Championship and ending Mickie's career in the process. She went on to defeat the likes of Toni Storm, Asuka, and Beth Phoenix for two and a half years, becoming the longest reigning female champion since the Fabulous Moolah. Her reign came to an end to Becky Lynch after Brooklyn gains the Smackdown GM position and forces her, Tre and the New Day to face Becky and the Savages in a best out of 5 series, where Becky wins the title 3-2 when Tre lost to Drew McIntyre thanks to the returning Samoa Joe.

#### The Return of the Divas Championship

In the Mixed Match Challenge, Tre is teaming with Ronda Rousey, while RED is waiting for her mixed tag partner. Handpicked by GM Brooklyn Von Braun, it could be either Curt Hawkins (the man with the longest losing streak), Reilly Flash (their teacher), or Drew McIntyre (one of Lynch's savages who beat Tre and cost her the championship). In the finals of the Mixed Match tournament, the player has the choice of which team they're playing as.

* If she and Hawkins or Reilly Flash win, the two would hug it out and celebrate their victory. Corey Graves would then complain about her mixed match tag partner.
* If she and McIntyre win, she asks McIntyre to come into the ring and join her, but McIntyre refuses and leaves the ring, wanting nothing to do with celebrating with her.

During this time, Tre wins the WWE title and is strong armed into a submission match against Samoa Joe, leading to Brooklyn training him to prepare for the Coquina Clutch. RED, however, is suspicious of Brooklyn's intentions as she had stepped down as GM to become an active competitor during the Mixed Match Challenge. Her suspicions are validated at SmackDown Fifteen Hundred when Brooklyn feeds Tre to Samoa Joe and later reveals she 'persuaded' the Board of Directors to award her the Divas title under RED's nose. After defeating Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, and Dakota Kai in a fatal four-way on SmackDown, she defeated Brooklyn Von Braun to win the Divas championship at the Royal Rumble.

#### WWE Hall of Fame

Backstage on SmackDown, Brooklyn appears in RED's locker room with one last trick up her sleeve: she found out about the letter during her bogus training with Tre and demanded RED retire or else she would reveal the truth about Tre's parents. However, what devastated RED the most was Tre deciding that if she was leaving, so was he.

The following months, RED was a wreck, living as a depressed mess watching as Brooklyn was the one to win her title after she left, which only made her madder. However, one day, she received a call... with Tre telling her that they are going into the WWE Hall of Fame. This was enough to get her out of her sorrowful state and filled with energy from knowing Brooklyn would hate this.

During the ceremony, a mysterious elderly couple enters the audience, and Tre assumes it's his birth parents, much to RED's confusion. When they're about to cross entering the Hall of Fame on their list, they realize they forgot a pen and ask the audience... when Brooklyn Von Braun replies. However, this is merely a ruse to expose RED's involvement in hiding his birth parents' death, with the 'couple' merely actors she hired to punk him out. With the ceremony in chaos, she battles three adversaries: Brooklyn Von Braun, Rhea Ripley, and Becky Lynch. Outnumbered, Joe and Brooklyn threw RED and Tre off the stage and Brooklyn destroyed their list.

At WrestleMania 2029, she would get vengeance on Brooklyn Von Braun by locking in her own ankle lock. They defeated both Joe and Brooklyn to their own submission move thus retaining their spots into the WWE Hall of Fame.

## Trivia

* Even though it's not an actual bionic arm, it might be possible to recreate a bionic arm in Create-A-Superstar mode (e.g., *WWE 2K19*), similar to Samoa Joe and/or Brooklyn Von Braun.
* Her ring outfit was based on Falcom from *Hyperdimension Neptunia* series, while her entrance attire was based on Red Hood from DC Comics. For her hair dye color, they're based on Joanna Dark from *Perfect Dark* series.
	+ The color design of her bionic arm was based on Belle Fontiere from SMG4's *Glitch Productions* original series *Meta Runner*, who is also her favorite character.
* Her favorite characters from *Neptunia* are Falcom and RED.
* Her main theme in *2K19* and *2K20* was "Stand Tall" by CFO$, an original theme of TM-61 (Nick Miller and Shane Thorne).
* Her lvl. 2 payback in *2K20* is Beast Mode, which matches her personality as well as her temper.
* There are three out of four customized Money in the Bank briefcases to choose from after Carmella destroyed her briefcase. The fourth briefcase is where you can create your own briefcase in your design. The third briefcase has Rusev stickers on them, recommended by Tre.
* Her voice actress Kylie Brown is known as the voice of Rachel Amber from *Life is Strange: Before the Storm*. An example of it is from the 3D model of Rachel's face.
* Much like Tre, RED gathered significant heat backstage, mostly from people she beat, who felt she was ducking them, or found the fact that her list was what catapulted her through her stardom annoying. The only people outside of Tre who showed her any respect were:
	+ Reilly Flash - Who considers her the best student he's ever trained.
	+ Lita - Whose respect she earned after a match in Memphis.
	+ X-Pac - Who felt guilty for passing her up for the first Mae Young Classic after she won the third.
	+ Candice LeRae - Who considered it an honor to have been a part of her career when she was inducted into the Hall of Fame
	+ Ronda Rousey - Whose respect she earned after taking a massive beating from her during the Money in the Bank Ladder match.
	+ Mickie James - RED was a huge fan of hers and considered teaming with her (and later winning the Women's Tag titles) a major part of her end of the list.
	+ Natalya - Despite her annoyance at RED's claim to be the 'greatest female superstar to come out of Calgary,' Natalya considers the fact that she trained in Calgary has made her 'Calgary tough.'
	+ The Rock - Who was U.S. President at the time of their induction and considers her accomplishments worthy of his respect.
