=========================

It's time for WWE Backlash and the fans are finally getting the two Main Events, Duncan Blake against Cody Rhoades and Logan Kenway against AJ Styles for the WWE Title, Duncan and Cody are opening the show, then Bianca Belair is trying to take the RAW Women's title from Iyo Sky, Seth Rollins to going to attempt to take down the Giant Nigerian Omos, Austin Theory is about to face his toughest fight yet with Bobby Lashley and Bronson Reed standing across from him, Bad Bunny will be making his Puerto Rico debut against Damian Priest, Zelina Vega is finally getting her chance to take a shot at Rhea Ripley and her Smackdown Women's title, The Bloodline, with Jimmy, Jey & Solo are facing off against KO, Sami and Matt Riddle... for some reason, then it's the big one, the much anticipated match-up between Logan and AJ that's been building for weeks now, since the Judgement Day aren't breathing down their necks, they have the chance to tear the roof down.

Elliot: This is so cool...

Logan's in his locker room with Ashley and Elliot getting ready for the show, he's got custom gear for tonight and he had help from Ashley making it, she helps him a lot with his ring gear and he loves it, he's creative sure but not fashion wise, that's Ashley's expertise in the marriage...

*I Loved Seth's Beast Slayer gear... It's just awesome!*

... It doesn't take Logan all too long to actually get ready, he tends to get at the Arena earlier then most and instead of sitting around he get's prepared, then he can do whatever he wants, he figured he'd just be chilling with Ashley and a really excited Elliot, he's never been backstage during a PPV event before, so he's having a great time, Logan and Ashley are happy to see him smiling because his mother's Funeral is in a few days time and their not looking forward to it.

Elliot: ... Your gonna win right? I like AJ but I don't want you to lose.

Logan smiled to the boy and called him over, Elliot did as he wanted and hopped onto the seat that Logan and Ashley are sat on, he's sitting between them, Ashley saw one of those moments she wanted to keep forever and took a picture of them all, Logan and Elliot are holding the WWE title while she put her right hand on her tummy.

Just like that the world now knows why she's going to be out for so long, people were speculating and most people were right, it's understandable, they've been married for soon to be a year, probably around about 9 months now, their not getting any younger so for them to want to try for a baby is normal, Ashley turned her attention back to her husband and Elliot while the WWE fan base pretty much lost their minds, 95% of it was pure support from their friends and colleagues but they'll always get that little bit of hare for some reason, no matter how much charity they do, all the good that they do, people still send them hate comments, it's nuts.

Hunter: Hey, sorry to just drop in. Can I borrow you a sec?

Logan and Ashley both looked to the door to see Hunter standing there, Logan nodded leaving his wife and Elliot behind with the WWE title, he then followed Hunter out of the room and towards his office, it must be important or top secret if he's not going to just talk to him in front of Ashley and Elliot, as soon as he got into the office he came face to face with AJ Styles, Cody, Duncan and Stephanie McMahon, Logan's the last in but smiled to them all giving handshakes or bro hugs before they all turned to their bosses.

Hunter: Let's cut straight to the point. Take a seat.

Hunter indicated to the four chairs in the room as he moved to stand beside Stephanie, there's only one chair on the other side of the desk meaning one had to stand and being the gentleman that the Game is, he's not going to make his wife stand, Logan however took a seat to the left of Cody, right of Allen and Duncan on the far left, sitting beside AJ, as soon as they were comfy, Hunter laid it all out.

Hunter: We want you 4 to end The Bloodline...

That wasn't what they expected to hear, with The Bloodline going stronger then ever right now, no one really knew when or what their end would be but it being the four in the room right now is quite fitting, neither really knew what to say right now though and just waited for more info, there has to be more then that.

Stephanie: ... Basically, Joe has come forward and asked for some time off and we're going to grant him that. The sooner he drops the belt the better.

Ratings for The Bloodline are still at peak level, their merch is flying off the shelves, not as fast as Logan's or Cody's but still pretty quick, Logan looked around, he didn't mind, out of these two, he's the only one that's actually beaten Roman since his return all those years ago now, that match at Wrestlemania is being talked about for Men's Match of the Year already, their barely halfway through right now so things might change.

Cody: "Time off"? Time off from what, he's never here anyway.

Duncan laughed, AJ chuckled and Logan smiled behind his hand while Cody had a point, not that many people are happy with the lack of time Roman Reigns actually spends doing work, like they get it's a story and what not but he's one of the highest paid in the Men's locker room and has to do half the work, it just rubs some people the wrong way, not the WWE Champion though, he's perfectly content going from show to show with his WWE title.

Hunter: That's fare. Either way, this is the plan, Duncan will keep Solo busy, AJ and Logan will take out the Uso's and Cody will complete his story. Any questions?

It didn't seem like a bad idea and their assuming this will drag out to one of the bigger PPV's, the Rumble, SummerSlam or even keep Roman Reigns happy to Wrestlemania XL but that's going to be a long story and something people get bored of, so Logan held his hand up as if he was a kid in school.

Stephanie: You don't have to raise your hand. If you have an idea then say it, we'll talk it over and pass it along.

Cody, Duncan and Allen all looked to Logan as he adjusted himself in his seat, it's not that he's trying to be weird but these outfits aren't really made to sit in and they can get itchy, Logan's just a little uncomfortable right now.

Logan: Why not make it a ladder match at Money in the Bank, us four, another and Roman. Then just build from there.

Cody liked the idea, Duncan liked the idea, so did Allen, the two in charge even seemed to contemplate it, Logan's excited about going to Money in the Bank, he missed Clash at the Castle from a groin injury so he's itching to go back to London with a title and show his home how and Alpha Wolf does it in the big times.

Stephanie: Like we said. "We'll talk it over". Now, you two have a WWE title match.

Logan and Allen shared a fist bump before they were all excused, Logan and Allen made their way towards the Gorilla since Jimmy, Jey and Solo are about to beat Ko, Sami and Riddle, Logan's still not sure why Riddle of all people is in there, they could have put anyone the Bloodline has pissed off but they go with the man that can't remember his lines on Live Tv and can't keep his nose out of a pile of snow.

Elliot: Here you go.

Logan and Allen made it with time to spare to see Elliot and Ashley waiting for them, Logan still has no idea Ashley made the announcement already, not that he'd be mad, he just doesn't know, Allen chuckled as he watched Logan walk over to the boy he and Ashley have taken in for the time being, holding the WWE title out go the current Champ, would he be for much longer, is anyone's guess.

Logan: I dunno. It does look better on you.

Elliot smiled as Logan ruffled his hair before taking the belt and giving Ashley a quick kiss, tomorrow morning it's a flight to RAW and then a flight back to Charlotte so they can all say goodbye to a lost friend and loved one, Elliot doesn't even seem to realise what's going to happen, the joy's of being a child, Logan and Ashley can't believe their never going to see Claire again, Elliot will realise once they're there and it'll hit him like a freight train, that's why Ashley and Logan need to be there for him the most...

... One last fist bump and AJ went out to do his thing, Logan chilled back with Ashley and Elliot for a moment till she showed him the post, Logan chuckled as she scrolled through the response', they were nice and it was good to see their friends and family are behind them, of course their close members of family and friends already know but now the world does...

... Now it's Logan's turn, he put the WWE title around his waist and walked out the curtain, Ashley and Elliot watching on the nearby Tv, Logan did his usual march to the ring, taking as much time as he can to greet his fans before climbing up the steps and stepping into the ring, AJ has been an ally these past few weeks but now he's Logan's target and the Alpha needs to hunt so his pack can feed...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Logan and AJ have put on a top match, the crowd in Puerto Rico are loving it, cheering and encouraging both athletes while standing on their feet, near count after near count, when the match seem's to be other with, either get's the shoulder up, AJ is looking to end this though with one last Phenomenal Forearm, Logan was about to shoulder tackle AJ off the apron and into the announcer's table but instead AJ got him with an kick to his head, Logan stumbled back selling the hit as AJ lined him up...

... As soon as the forearm hit Logan's head he dropped to the mat and the crowd cheered watching as AJ Styles crawled over to the cover, hopping to secure another WWE Title, he hooked Logan's leg and waited for the ref to start the count.

Ref/Crowd: 1!... 2!...

Just before the three count, Logan got his shoulder up causing the count to break and the crowd to burst into cheers again, they don't care who wins this match tonight, both men have put it all in that ring and whoever does get the WWE title at the end of the fight, they'd have earned it more then they have anything else in their entire careers, AJ is starting to doubt himself though, he's thrown everything at Logan, now people will understand how he beat Roman where no one else could, his resilience is second to none.

AJ had one last move in his locker and it was his signature "Styles Clash", so he climbed to his feet, then pulled Logan up who seemed pretty out of it, the kick out must have been nothing but instinct, that was until AJ got him into position and spread his arms out, once he did that, Logan hooked his left arm under him and scooped him off his feet...

... Logan got him with Wolfsbane for the third time tonight, once he did the crowd again cheered, while Logan didn't take any time in pinning AJ's legs for the cover, the ref quickly slid into position while the crowd couldn't believe what they just saw, seconds ago AJ was going to win and now another turn in the tide.

Ref/Crowd: 1!... 2!... 3!

Logan rolled off AJ as the ref called for the bell, the crowd cheered and clapped for both men as they laid there, it's been a long and exhausting fight for each of them, one thing is for certain coming out of this match, Logan might have retained and won the match but AJ Styles is far from the loser...

... AJ though was first to his feet as Logan sat there and looked to him, the ref was about to hand Logan back his title till AJ took it from him, Logan's music cut off as the crowd settled down, Logan got to his feet while AJ walked towards him looking over the title he was so close to winning, after a few seconds of people wondering if this was a "Heel" turn, AJ handed the title over, Logan took it with his right hand and AJ hoisted his left into the air, Logan smiled while holding the WWE title high, both men stopped and shared a quick hug in the ring before AJ left Logan to enjoy his winning moment and first title defence on a PPV event since he won the belt...
