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

It's a Wednesday Night and the Hicks family are about to watch an episode of AEW where their son is making his pro wrestling debut, their getting ready to watch while Ace is backstage with AEW favourite, Duncan Blake, Ace and Duncan are waiting for the plan while Ace glanced at the big guy...

... Duncan's a former AEW World Champion and 2x TNT Champion, he's just coming off a injury that's had him side lined for a few months, either way these two would make a great team, Ace's speed and agility paired with Duncan's strength and power, a force to be reckoned with.

Duncan: Nervous?

Ace snapped out his thoughts about his girlfriend... Now ex-girlfriend walking out on him and nodded to him not really knowing what to say.

Duncan: It'll pass. As soon as you walk on the stage and towards the ring, all that will disappear.

Ace was appreciative of the pointers from the more experienced Superstar, Duncan's probably been doing this for a while where as Ace only started 8 years ago, it seems like a long time but some people have waited decades to get to this kind of level, some not even making it at all.

Ace: Thanks. I'm Ace by the way...

Ace held his hand out to see that Duncan happily shook his hand, Duncan was going to introduce himself but Ace already knew who he was so he cut him off before he could.

Ace: ... I know who you are. You're "No Holds Barred Match" against Moxley for the AEW Title was brutal.

Duncan was clearly happy about that and it lead to a longer conversation and how he remembered that match and the pain it caused, Ace was looking forward to making that kind of impact on other kids' lives like what AJ Styles did for him with just a simple fist bump.

Tony: Good to see you two getting along...

Ace and Duncan turned to the office door and saw Tony Khan and Christian Cage walk into the room, they both have been keeping up with AEW and already can tell where this stories going, Duncan's here to go up against Luchasuraus and Ace is here to slap the bitch out of Jungle Boy.

Tony: ... That's good.

Tony sat in the chair on the other side of the desk while Christian stood nearby about to go over the story their about to run with them...

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

Meanwhile in the Women's locker room Toni Rossall, better known as Toni Storm is ready for her match-up tonight with Melissa Cervantes, Thunder Rosa, as the team up tonight against Brittany Baker and Paige Wooding, Jamie Hayter.

Brittany: Girl you need to let that go.

Toni is sat on the bench ready in her ring gear while looking through her phone to see the messages from her now Ex husband, he just left her for someone else, someone older and defiantly uglier, Toni's not shallow but she isn't stupid, she has a mirror.

Toni: But I was just...

Toni tried to argue as Brittany took her phone from her, the worst thing to do after a break up is think about it and spend all you're time dwelling on the past.

Toni: ... I was going to delete the contact.

Toni half lied, she was going to delete the contact till she saw the messages and it wasn't bad between them, this just seemed to come out of nowhere unexpectedly.

Anna: You are an awful lair...

The girls looked to see Anna Jay and Tay Conti walk on into the room to get ready for their spot tonight, Toni couldn't deny that though as lying sucks so why should you be good at it, it only ever gets people hurt.

Tay: ... There's a new fish starting today.

Toni snapped out of her thoughts as she looked to see the show had now started and everyone was pretty much ready for the show to start, Toni isn't sure what she got caught up thinking about but it took her out for a good 20 minutes.

Anna: I heard it's that Ace guy...

Everyone's heard about Ace going all over America on the Indi circuit creating a pretty great buzz around himself, mainly for his out of the box style where if he see's something, he'll find a way to jump off.

Tay: I hope so. He's kinda hot...

They all shared a chuckle to her as she meant it but hopefully didn't mean it, she's getting married to Sammy if she gets Ace into trouble then it can all go wrong...

... The women in the locker room turned to the Tv in the room to see as Christian walked out the tunnel to a wave of boo's from the crowed here in Kansas City, Christian didn't care though and seemed to encourage it, that was until he got into the ring and they didn't hate him enough to boo over him talking just yet.

Christian: So over the passed few weeks, I've been thinking about all this with Jungle Boy and I realised it's not about me... 

Christian shook his head "no" while the crowed gave him a reaction, it is a slight Face turn for him but the new faction of AEW isn't going to be the good guys, their going to be the bad guys everyone loves to see.

Christian: This is about so much more, then me. Or even your precious little Jungle Boy and his colossal lap dog...!

Christian got a few boo's from that but he didn't let them interrupt his momentum.

Christian: ... So I'm finished with them. Their irrelevant to me and they will be to you as well...

Christian was cut off this time by Jungle Boy's music kicking in...

https://youtu.be/OK6gzAobx4Y

... The crowd did their usual antics and sang along while the team of Jungle Boy and Luchasuraus marched down to the ring all while the women watched still intrigued to see what was going on, Anna knew the new guy was starting in their story as Jack told her, he just didn't tell her who it was.

Jungle Boy went to say something but Christian stopped him after the music cut off holding his hand out walking around them making his back to the ramp.

Christian: I'm actually glad you are both out here because... these guys...

Christian pointed to the tunnel now behind him without taking his eyes off the duo in front of him, Jungle Boy and Luchasuraus let Christian talk his trash, they'll kick his ass after he's done.

Christian: ... I brought them here especially for you both...

 Christian dropped the mic and they waited there for a second till nothing happened, the crowd were waiting and waiting while Jungle Boy and Luchasuraus made it seem like this was all a joke till the crowd popped...

https://youtu.be/YCNggKaHfXQ

... The crowd jumped to their feet seeing the former Champion back, Duncan looked around ready for action and marched down to the ring, Christian smiled to not looking away from Jungle Boy and Luchasuraus.

Duncan climbed onto the apron and the massive 6'5 man stepped over the top rope like it was nothing and stood beside Christian panting with a murderous look in his eyes, Jungle lifted the mic to his mouth as the music cut off and the crowed settled down.

Jungle Boy: Him...?

He asked pointing to Duncan, Jungle stood to Luchasuraus' left while Duncan is to Christians left making sure the big guys are behind the little guys on the Tv.

Brittany: Did you know D was back?

Everyone shook their heads as no one really knew anything about this story anymore, it was changed quickly and now they have a new guy going them.

Jungle Boy: ... That's fine by us, we've beat him and we've beat you before... We'll happily do it again!

The crowd loved the thought of Duncan and Cage teaming up to face Jungle Boy and Luchasuraus tonight, Jungle pulled his jacket off as Duncan and Luchasuraus bumped heads the two giants trying to out giant the other but Christian has other plan's for them and put his hand on Duncan's chest pushing him back after picking the mic up off the mat.

Christian: Easy there big fella...

The crowd settled down from this and waited for hopefully a fight to break out, Jungle Boy and the others really wanting one but it was time for Christian to put all the rumours and stories to bed.

Christian: ... You didn't think we'd come out here without... 

Christian smirked around while the crowd waited for him to continue and when he did everyone loved to hear it.

Christian: ... Without an Ace up our sleeve...

https://youtu.be/BNIgpxP5vD4

... As soon as the music kicked in the crowd couldn't believe that he was finally here in a pro wrestling promotion...

... Ace walked out the tunnel to a huge pop from the crowed, he and the others didn't expect to hear this reaction from them, all he could do was marvel at them and the reaction, Ace still had a job to do though and walked towards the ring not at all worried about the two waiting to kick his ass.

Excalibur: Listen to this crowed JR! It's reaching a 10 on the Richter Scale!

Jim Ross: ... Ace is All Elite!

Ace marched up the steel steps and across the apron, Duncan and Christian smiled to him while Luchasuraus and Jungle watched nearby.

Ace is loving this and really didn't expect it from them, he knew that people knew of him but to this extent was a shock to him.

Ace stepped into the ring though and walked right up to Jungle Boy standing just a little bit taller then him, Luchasuraus and Duncan squared up as well creating a hell of a picture for the crowed while both teams are head to head, Toni was watching the screen and saw Ace for the first time, you know when you watch a movie for the first time and you know you're going to love it, Ace gave her this feeling.

Christian: ... Time we shuffled the deck!

That was their cue and Duncan head butted Luchasuraus making him stumble before lifting him onto his shoulders for a running powerslam...

... Jungle Boy watched but before he can help his friend, Ace lifted him onto his shoulders before quickly slamming his body into the mat below...

... Ace stood over Jungle Boy while Duncan stood over Luchasuraus, Christian stood between them with Ace on the left side of the camera and Duncan on the right, they looked like a faction and not one that should be messed with.

Christian: We are the bar of expectancy! We are here to set the record straight! We! Are! The Score!

Christian throw the mic down while Ace and Duncan nodded, The Score isn't the best faction name but it's better then nothing and it's defiantly better then "The Jericho Appreciation Society" at least "The Score" had some imagination behind it, the crowed reacted to the new faction especially with the new Triple Tag Titles coming around, this is the perfect time...

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

Ace and Duncan got ready to leave the arena after their part of the show ended, Ace's AEW arrival started trending on Twitter and "The Score" was getting more and more love, it's going to take some getting used to but it'll get there.

Duncan: A few of us are having a party at the hotel. Wanna come?

Ace thought about it and he hasn't been to a party since he was 17, he's been to 4 parties in his life and he managed to get laid at all of them so why not, it's been a while for the young stud.

Ace: Sure, why not?

Duncan smiled and patted his back but Ace didn't expect it and stumbled forward from the pat, Duncan caught him though from face planting the floor as they both laughed and made their way to the hotel for the party, what could go wrong...? Or right...?
