(Raw)

24 hours since the shocking ending of Backlash which saw the rebirth of Alex who was revealed as the One-Winged Angel. In the ring, the Bliss Republic were seething with anger as Alexa got on the mic.

Alexa: Alex! Alex Auditore, we all know you and the Brotherhood are back there, but I want only you to get out here now!

Alex's new theme played.

Out came the One-Winged Angel, Alex with an evil smirk on his face, though he has ordered the Brotherhood to stay put.

Alex: you called?

Alexa: one question, how in the hell are you back from injury; Randy's punt kick was suppose to take you out for months

Alex: you should know that I am a tough guy, I don't stay on the ground for long; as you can see, I have rejuvenated myself as the One-Winged Angel, I am more stronger and unstoppable than ever before

Alexa: you can all high and powerful all you want, but I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but our higher power Fiend is not here tonight

Alex: oh, he went back to his firefly nuthouse to play with his puppets

Alexa: well if you want to fight us, then I propose a match for this Friday on SmackDown

Alex: name your match, wife

Alexa: a ten man tag team match; the Bliss Republic will be represented by Blood Shepherd, Pierce Johnson, Colby Newfer, Elleon Astralis and Chase Destiny as they take on the turncoats Travis Sharp and Josh Stevens, someone we haven't seen a while Xander Kross, yourself and any partner of your choosing

Alex: ten man tag match? I accept

Alexa: there's a catch

Alex: what?

Alexa: your fifth man cannot be a member of the Brotherhood; sure you got Xander, but again we haven't seen him that much, as for Josh and Travis, they chose to turn against us, so you have 4 days to find a fifth man

Alex: ...

Alexa: fail to find a fifth member of your team, then it will be a handicap match

Alex: it will be an even match, but that's Friday, so tonight I want a fight against any member of your group

Alexa: since Pierce, Colby, Chase, Shepherd and Elleon are given the night off, you can go against both members of AOP and the Miz in a 3 on 1 handicap match just to see if your so called "rebirth" made you stronger

Alex: we'll see about that

The One-Winged Angel stared daggers at the Bliss Republic as the show went to commercial.

(Backstage)

Alex regrouped with the Brotherhood in the locker room.

Alex: 10 man tag team match on SmackDown this Friday

Travis: who will be our fifth member?

Dominik: you heard Alexa, it can't be any of us

Keith: damn

Josh: looks like we have to go 5 on 4

Io: maybe not

The Genius of the Sky had an idea.

Io: I know someone

Roman: who?

Io: hold on, I'm gonna call him

Io left the locker room to call someone close to her.

???: mosh-mosh, Io-nee (hello big sister)

Io: yo, ototo (hi little brother) how are you doing?

???: doing well, I saw all that crap that's going on with the Bliss Republic and the Brotherhood, so what do you need?

Io: can you be the fifth man for Alex-kun's team for SmackDown this Friday?

???: and help stop the Republic's evil deeds? Yeah I'm in

Io: arigato, ototo

???: time to make my mark

She ended the call and went back inside.

Alex: so who did you call?

Io: my little brother, he agreed to be in your team

Travis: who is he?

Io: well let's just say, his mentor is the King of Pro Wrestling himself Minoru Suzuki

Alex: jeez, I've faced that guy, and I was lucky to be alive

Josh: so when is your brother coming?

Io: he'll be coming on SmackDown; he will catch the Republic off guard

Travis: we look forward to meet him

An hour and a half went by and it was time for the main event handicap match as the One-Winged Angel Alex takes on the Miz and AOP in a 3 on 1 handicap match.

Kevin: it's 3 on 1, you don't seem worried

Alex: the Pharaoh is dead, he couldn't handle the odds stacked against him; however, the One-Winged Angel can handle the numbers

Josh: we'll be ready if anything gets chaotic

Alex nodded and left the locker room.

(AOP and The Miz vs. Alex Auditore)

The A-Lister and the Monday Night Messiah's heavy hitters were ready to bring the One-Winged Angel back down to earth. Then Alex's theme played and he made his entrance.

He slowly walked down the ramp and got in the ring while he stared down at his opponents with an evil like smirk on his face.

He took off his coat and taunted at the Republic infantrymen. The Miz went for a shot, but he was floored by a right hand from Alex. AOP went to retaliate, but they too fell to vicious right hands from the One-Winged Angel.

(Minutes later)

Miz got Alex in the Skull Crushing Finale after Akam nailed a right hand on the One-Winged Angel; as Miz went for the pin, he was shocked to see Alex kicked out at one and sat up. Miz was terrified as Alex smirked at him. Miz got up and tagged in Rezar. As Rezar lunged, Alex surprised him with a quick tilt a whirl powerslam.

(End of match)

Rezar tagged in Akam and looked to end it with the Final Chapter on Alex, but the One-Winged Angel got out of it and catches both members of AOP with a double AKO, one on each arm. The One-Winged Angel pinned Akam for the win in his first match back from injury. Then the Republic's theme played and out came the five men who will be part of the 10 man tag match on SmackDown.

Chase, Shepherd, Elleon, Pierce and Colby surrounded the ring Nexus style. Alex showed no fear as his smirk was still glued to his face. He dared the Republic to come get some.

Alex: come on!

The five men got in the ring and Alex fought them off while he can. The Republic men back him up in the corner, but Alex was still firing shots. Then the Brotherhood's theme played and out came Alex's partners for the match on Friday. Josh and Travis connected shots to their former Republic brothers even though it was 5 on 3.

As the dust cleared, the Republic retreated as Alex, Josh and Travis stood tall in the ring. With SmackDown this Friday, the question remains on who did Io called to be in the Brotherhood's team.

Main event for SmackDown:

The Brotherhood (Alex Auditore, Travis Sharp, Josh Stevens, Xander Kross and ???) vs. The Bliss Republic (Chase Destiny, Blood Shepherd, Pierce Johnson, Colby Newfer and Elleon Astralis) - 10 man tag team match
