In the Kingdom's locker room Lexi, Billie and Toni were warming up for their six woman tag team match while Travis was preparing for his match against Lashley.

While Travis was warming up, Billie called him over to her dressing room.

Billie: oh Travis, can you come help me here please?

Travis: uh sure, babe

The American Nightmare went inside and the door closed. Seeing this, Lexi and Toni looked at each other and bit their lower lips.

Lexi: Alex?

Toni: William?

The two guys turned around.

Alex: yes babe?

William: you need anything love?

Lexi: yes, can you please come in here for a while?

Toni: I need some help here

Alex and William looked at each other, but shrugged it off and gladly went to their girlfriends' dressing room, but unbeknownst to Travis, Alex and William, they're in for a real lucky surprise.

Bliss Kingdom's huge locker room is so big that all of the members have their own dressing room and bathroom for their convenience. The main room is where the huge TV is, so they can watch the show together.

As for the three guys, they were caught in a surprise make out session from Lexi, Billie and Toni that nearly got too heated. After nearly half an hour Travis, Alex and William exited their girlfriends' dressing rooms with sweat and lipstick marks all over their faces. The three guys looked at each other.

Travis: they got you too?

William: Toni got a little handsy

Alex: Lexi went to her favorite spot

William: which is?

Alex: my neck

Then the rest of the Kingdom came in from catering; they saw the three guys and laughed.

Seth: what happened to you three?

Alex: let's not talk about it

Sasha: what did they do to you?

William: is the lipstick marks all over our faces not obvious?

Then Lexi, Billie and Toni came out of their dressing rooms all blushing and biting their lower lips; they stood beside their respective boyfriends.

Billie: consider our session our good luck charm for our matches

Lexi: there will be plenty more of that soon, baby

Toni: you're lucky I didn't mark you, babe

The rest of the group tried to hold their laughter.

Alex: okay quit it guys

Travis: who won between WALTER and Braun?

Ryan: well the opening segment is over and we're all here, so let's watch

Everyone nodded and sat down in front of the big TV.

(WALTER vs. Strowman match highlights)

The two behemoths stared down each other before Der Ring General pushed Braun to the ropes only for the Monster to rebound with a shoulder block, barely fazing the First Army's muscle. A few minutes in, WALTER was at ringside catching his breath; Braun saw this and he got out of the ring; he ran full speed and knock WALTER down with a shoulder block.

The final moments of the match saw Braun on the brink of winning, but WALTER's Ringkampf brethren Marcel and Fabian came out to distract the referee; WALTER went back to his feet and neutralizes Braun with a knife edge chop and then locked in the sleeper hold. No where near the ropes and refusing to tap out, Braun passed out from the hold and the referee rang the bell. WALTER advances to the next round.

(Backstage)

The Kingdom were shocked of the match result, Travis however looked on with a serious face.

Travis: if I have to face WALTER in the next round, then so be it

Billie: you sound so confident babe

Travis: I am because of our private session

Billie blushed.

Alex: and Travis remember, you, me and Randy defeated Ringkampf at Battleground

Randy: that's right, use that victory to mess with WALTER's head

Travis: I will do that because I'm next

Seth: well Lio Rush will not be at ringside after the beating I gave him last week

Travis: yeah, oh I gotta go!

Billie: good luck babe!

The American Nightmare nodded and he left the locker room for his match against the All Mighty Bobby Lashley.

(Travis vs. Lashley match highlights)

With Lio on the sidelines from his match against Seth, the match is even on both sides. Lashley used his brute strength to neutralize Travis, but the American Nightmare fired back with a quick lariat. The American Nightmare then unleashed a Tornado DDT, turning the tide of the match in Travis' favor.

In the final moments of the match, Lashley was setting up for a spear. As Travis got on his feet and turned around, Lashley sprints, but the American Nightmare saw it coming and jumped to avoid and Lashley hit his head on the turnbuckle. Travis capitalized and hits Sharp Attack for the victory, advancing in the tournament, but he turned serious as WALTER's theme played and standing on the stage was Der Ring General himself. Travis and WALTER stared daggers at each other.

(Backstage)

Travis walked in the Kingdom's locker room and he saw Billie running and jumping into his arms. The Femme Fatale planted a passionate kiss on his lips while she wrapped her legs around his waist.

Billie: our private session paid off

Travis: hopefully it will do you good as well

Billie: you're so sweet

The next match was the six woman tag match; Lexi, Billie and Toni prepared themselves.

Lexi: well guys, we're gonna meet the First Army's new recruit

Toni: whoever she is, the three of them are no match for us

Billie: that's right

William: well good luck to you three

Alex, Travis and William kissed their girlfriends, and the three girls exited the locker room.

(In the ring)

Announcer: the following contest is a six woman tag team match!

(Rise by Skillet)

Announcer: introducing first, representing Bliss Kingdom; the team of Alexa Bliss, Billie Kay and Toni Storm!

Lexi walked down the ring while she was flanked by her Kingdom sisters Toni and Billie; the three went in the ring and did the group's signature taunt. Then their theme stopped playing and they stood side by side.

(Like a Lady plays)

Announcer: and their opponents, representing the First Army; the team of Lacey Evans and Rhea Ripley!

The two Army girls walked down the ramp until they stopped at ringside; the Lady requested a mic.

Lacey: oh, you already assumed that it's a six woman tag match? Well, you're right and we want to let you all know that I've arranged a partner for our team and the best thing is, she's the newest member of the First Army! Toni, you know her well; ladies and gentlemen, our partner and the newest member!

https://youtu.be/KZGAudeY7TM

Toni was in disbelief, the First Army's newest member is her rival from the Mae Young Classic, the Fashionista Jinny. Lexi and Billie saw the animosity from Toni, so they calmed her down. Lacey, Rhea and Jinny went to their side of the ring and the match started.

(Bliss, Storm and Kay vs. Evans, Ripley and Jinny match highlights)

The women who started the match was the Kingdom's Billie and the Army's Jinny. The two traded punches and forearms, but Billie managed to halt Jinny's momentum with a spinning back kick to the gut; the Femme Fatale pulled Jinny to the Kingdom's corner and saw Toni wanting to get in the match; Billie nodded and tagged in Toni. Toni fired rapid punches and forearms to her Mae Young Classic rival, forcing the Fashionista to push Toni away and quickly tagged in the leader, Lacey.

A few minutes into the match, Lexi flattened Rhea with Insult to Injury 2.0; she went for a pin, but Rhea kicked out. Then Lexi picked Rhea up to hit her Snap DDT, but Rhea got out of it and hits Lexi with a forearm, knocking the Goddess down flat on her back. Then Rhea tagged in Lacey. The Lady then climbed the top turnbuckle to hit a moonsault, but Lexi rolled out of the way and Lacey landed on the ring canvas. The two leaders of their respective factions crawled to their corners to make a tag; Lexi tagged in Toni and Lacey tagged in Jinny; the two Mae Young Classic competitors traded punches.

The final moments of the match was chaotic, as Toni executed Storm Zero on Jinny and went for the pin, Rhea and Lacey came in and attacked Toni, resulting the match to end in a disqualification. Then Lexi and Billie came in and even the odds for Toni. The six women brawled and it ended with the Kingdom women standing tall while the Army women retreated.

(Backstage)

William: whoa, I didn't expect Jinny to come

Toni: I didn't either

Billie: and she's the newest member

Lexi: we have to be cautious, who knows who will Lacey reach out to

Finn: it may be someone we wouldn't expect

Bayley: Finn's right

Sasha: but us four have our beef with the MMA Horsewomen

Becky: well Ronnie lost her last shot, so I'm willing to challenge her friends

Charlotte: Shayna will be most likely to answer your challenge, Becks

Becky: then let her have it

Chase: guys, the next match is another IC title tournament match

They saw that the next match was between Mojo and the Undisputed Era's Roderick. They watched as both men already made their entrances, and the match started.

(Roderick vs. Mojo match highlights)

Mojo immediately knocked Roderick off his feet with a thunderous shoulder block, using his football background. The Messiah of the Backbreaker immediately rolled out of the ring to catch his breath. After a few seconds, Roddy got back in the ring and locked up with Mojo.

A few minutes later in the match, the rest of the Undisputed Era came out to ringside. Roderick fazed Mojo with a jumping high knee to the face, knocking Mojo down to one knee.

The final moments of the match saw Roderick putting Mojo towards the ropes, forcing the referee to separate the two. As the referee was busy with Roderick, Adam came up to the ring apron and superkicked Mojo. Then Roderick capitalized and finished Mojo off with the End of Heartache. He pinned Mojo and advanced to the next round.

Travis: I'm stuck in between a rock and a hard place

Alex: you're not the only one bro; I'm facing Adam in the next round

William: it is

Then the Kingdom saw that advertised for next week's Raw, it's the in ring debut of William as the Fil-Brit Brawler takes on Jinder Mahal.

William: alright, my first match on the main roster is against a former WWE Champion

Alex: the same man who defeated my mentor

Chase: watch out for his little stooges

William: those two won't be a problem

Then the last of the IC title tournament matches was gonna start as the First Army's co-founder Johnny Wrestling takes on the former leader of the Wolf-Pack and the former Raw GM Baron Corbin.

Lexi: I can't believe I'm saying this guys, but I'm going for Johnny on this one

Finn: me too

Billie: I have to agree with you guys

Sasha: yup

Everyone shook their heads and watched the match.

Minutes in, Johnny was caught by Corbin and the Lone Wolf executes a Deep Six, only good enough for a 2 count. Corbin picked Johnny up to hit the End of Days, but Gargano got out of it and hits a superkick on the Lone Wolf. Then Johnny got to the ring apron and hits Corbin with his signature Slingshot DDT.

Johnny ended the match by locking Corbin in the Gargano Escape in the middle of the ring. With no where else to go, Corbin taps out earning Johnny the spot in the next round.

Ryan: let's find out

They watched as the fatal 5 way match went underway.

(Ciampa vs. Ambrose vs. McIntyre vs. Roode vs. Mahal match highlights)

The match started with Ambrose and Mahal sent over the top rope; then Ciampa, McIntyre and Roode stared down at one another. Then the three former NXT Champions started to trade punches all around. Then it went into a frenzy as Dean and Jinder came back in and joined the fray.

Jinder and Drew stared down at each other as the crowd chanted "3MB!" Then the two started trading punches.

Another stare down happened, and it was between Dean and Tommaso. The Black Heart caught Dean with a huge dropkick, but the Lunatic Fringe fired back with his signature Lunatic Lariat.

The end of the match saw Mahal, McIntyre and Roode were all laid out outside, leaving Ciampa and Ambrose in the ring. Dean went for Dirty Deeds, but Tommaso caught Ambrose with a high knee. The Black Heart executed the Fairy Tale Ending on Dean and pinned him, earning Tommaso a Universal title shot against Chase at Summerslam.

(Backstage)

Chase saw the match ending and he smirked.

Chase: the Limit Breaker versus the Black Heart at Summerslam

Charlotte: you don't look worried, my love

Chase: this is a match I really want to happen, and it's not a fantasy like a fairy tale; it's reality

Chase, Alex, Travis and Seth are already mentally preparing themselves for their upcoming battles against the First Army as Summerslam draws near and the Kingdom women will have to think of a retaliation as Jinny is now in the First Army's ranks.

Then the Kingdom left the arena and went to the hotel to rest up.
