(One week later)

With TLC less than a week away; Corbin's regime and Bliss Kingdom are at each other's throats. The main event is a number 1 contender's match to challenge Seth Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship and it's between Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler and Xander Kross. Xander was in his locker room changing into his attire and was warming up until there was a knock on the door.

Xander: who is that?

Finn: it's me, little brother

Xander: come on in uncle

Finn went in to Xander's locker room.

Finn: you ready for your match?

Xander: this is not just a match uncle; it's an opportunity I worked for.

Finn: I admire you, man. You don't want titles to be served to you on a silver platter

Xander: exactly, not because I'm rich or I'm already known around the world

Finn: now you have an opportunity to face Seth

Xander: if I win, and I have a feeling Corbin will try something

Finn: if he tries; we'll be ready

Xander: thanks, uncle

Finn: now go, your match starts in 1 minute

Xander left his locker room and Finn joined the others at catering.

Alex: good luck to Xander; he's in the ring against two dangerous men

Randy: and those dangerous men are Corbin's friends

Finn: don't worry, I know Xander; he'll get through this

Josh: I hope so...

Then a pair of hands covered Josh's eyes.

???: guess who?

Josh immediately smiled because he instantly recognized the voice.

Josh: I know that lovely accent. It's that you, Peyton?

Peyton: you guess right!

The Australian beauty sat down with the rest of Bliss Kingdom.

Lexi: how are you, Peyton?

Peyton: it's been rough for a couple days, but everything seems okay

Alex: is it because of Josh?

Josh elbowed Alex as Peyton lightly blushed.

Peyton: to be honest, yes. Josh was very sweet and caring and he listened to all my problems

Josh grinned as Peyton laid her head on his shoulder making him sweat a bit.

Lexi: you know Alex did the same thing too

Alex: huh?

Lexi: he made me comfortable last night

Josh: really, Alex? Did you?

Alex: uhh...yeah

Peyton: Lexi, may I ask. How did Alex make you comfortable?

Lexi: we cuddled

Alex: we did not!

Finn: really Alex? Then what did you do?

Alex: uhh...I just want to protect her

Peyton: protect her from what?

She teased.

Alex: okay, I just don't want Lexi to get hurt

Lexi looked at Alex with a surprising look which immediately turned to a blushing smile

Josh: so you two did cuddled last night?

Alex: yes

He hid his face in embarrassment.

Peyton: Lexi?

Lexi: he just made me feel secured and safe. It's so sweet of him

Lexi then laid her head on Alex's shoulder while the Prince had a blushing smile on his face. Alex turned to Randy and Finn who gave him a thumbs up.

Peyton: Lexi, do you like Alex?

Lexi: do you like Josh?

Peyton: hey, I asked first!

Lexi heavily blushed.

Lexi: yes I do like, Alex!

Alex heard Lexi's confession and he was surprised and blushing at the same time. He tugged on his shirt lightly.

Lexi: okay Peyton, confess. Do you like Josh?

Now it was Peyton who was blushing while Josh sweat a bit.

Peyton: yes I like Josh!

Josh could only sit and listen to Peyton's confession. He was surprised on the outside, but on the inside he was happy.

Josh: Alex, can I talk to you in private?

Alex: please

Alex and Josh stood up and went to talk in private.

Josh: do you have idea what's going on?

Alex: I was thinking the same thing too, dude

Josh grabbed Alex by the shirt.

Josh: did those two girls confessed that they liked us?

Alex: well I'm there, you were there, Finn and Randy were just listening, so yes I believe they did confessed their feelings to us

Josh looked back at the girls.

Josh: I have to admit; I really like Peyton

Alex: and I really like Lexi

Josh: should we tell them?

Alex: we can't leave them hanging, right?

Josh: alright mate, here goes nothing

Alex and Josh went back to the table.

Peyton: well what did you two talked about?

Alex: just guy stuff

Josh: right. Uhh, Lexi, Peyton; Alex and I have something to tell you

Lexi and Peyton were confused.

Lexi: what is it, Alex?

Peyton: what's on your mind, Josh?

Josh: well Alex and I have been talking, so what we want to tell you is that...

Alex: Lexi, I like you too

Josh: I like you too, Peyton

The two girls couldn't help but blush heavily.

Lexi: aww, Alex

Peyton: Josh, that's so sweet of you

The two girls laid their heads on the guys' shoulders. Alex and Josh looked at each other with confident smiles and gave each other a fist bump. Randy and Finn shook their heads.

Finn: hey guys, I think Xander is gonna take this

They turned their attention to the monitor and watched the match. Xander took out Dolph with Overdrive, but he was met by a Claymore kick from Drew.

Xander kicks out much to the frustration of the Scottish Psychopath. Drew picked up Xander and he runs to the ropes to try to hit another Claymore, but he was met by a high Overdrive, fazing McIntyre. Xander then picked him up and did the Code of Silence.

Announcer: here is your winner and number 1 contender, the Legendary Wrestler Xander Kross!

Seth's theme played and the Kingslayer came out and confronted his next challenger. The crowd chanted "yes!" as the two stared daggers at one another. Seth then held his hand out and Xander accepted it.

Then Xander walked backstage and joined the others. They stood up and clapped for him.

Finn: ladies and gentlemen, the next Intercontinental Champion, Xander Kross!

Xander smiled and shook his head.

Xander: thank you for cheering for me, guys

Lexi: we do what we do to make Corbin angry

Alex: and I'm pretty sure he's not happy that Xander won

The last match was a women's tag team match between Sasha Banks and Bayley taking on two members of the Riott Squad.

Peyton: guys, check this match out

Josh: this can't be good

Randy: what make's you say that?

Josh: didn't Lexi mentioned that Corbin recruited the Riott Squad to his regime?

Finn: this can't be good for the two. I'm worried about Bayley

Xander: you're worried about Bayley?

Finn: this is no time for jokes; Corbin might do something

Randy: Finn, calm down! We don't know until we watch the match

They turned to the TV and watched the match. The match was in Bayley and Sasha's favor; as Bayley finish off Liv Morgan with a frog splash, Corbin's theme played.

Corbin: hold on hold on. This is not how I want to see this match; let's make this a 4 on 2 handicap match. Ruby you can get up to the ring and here is your fourth partner.

(Femme Fatale plays)

The Riott Squad's fourth partner was Peyton's ex-bestie Billie Kay. This move made by the GM elect made the crowd boo and made Sasha and Bayley frustrated at the odds stacked against them.

At backstage, everyone was upset, but Finn was raging on the inside.

Finn: this is not fair! Why is he doing that to her?

Lexi: don't worry Finn, I got an idea. Peyton, I need you

Peyton nodded and the two girls left to their locker rooms.

Josh: I wonder what's Lexi's idea

Alex: we'll find out

(At the women's locker room)

Lexi and Peyton changed into their attire.

Lexi: let's go out there and even the odds

Peyton: right

The two girls walked to the gorilla.

(In the arena)

The match was turning into a beatdown for Sasha and Bayley as the three members of the Riott Squad and Billie Kay made frequent tags. Corbin stood on the stage with a big evil grin on his face, but his grin soon faded away as Bliss Kingdom's theme played. Corbin got frustrated as Lexi and Peyton came out.

Lexi: Corbin, you always forget..I'm in charge of the women's division, not you, so this match is now an 8 woman tag team match!

The crowd cheered and Peyton and Lexi nodded at each other. They ran down to the ring and fought off the Riott Squad and Billie. Sasha and Bayley came back to their feet and joined the fight.

(Fast forward to the end)

With Sarah, Liv and Billie taken out; it was a 4 on 1 beatdown on Ruby. Peyton landed her signature spin kick fazing Ruby .Bayley hit Bayley-to-Belly followed by Lexi hitting Twisted Bliss, and the final nail to the coffin was Sasha making Ruby tap out to the Bank Statement.

Corbin stood on the stage with a frustrated look on his face, but what will happen next will make him even more frustrated.

Bayley and Sasha knew of Bliss Kingdom's impact and mission. Lexi and Peyton offered the membership to the two Horsewomen by holding their hands out in the too sweet Shield position.

The Boss and the Hugger knew that they are tired of Corbin's authoritarian regime, so they put their hands in the gesture, nodded at each other and joined in with Peyton and Lexi, making the crowd go nuts as Bliss Kingdom has recruited two new members.
