(Yes, shoutout to Ross from In the Clutch)

*before the show*

Michael is seen on the phone with Chloe.

Chloe: So Sasha knows?

Michael: Yep. I couldn't lie to her much, but she promised not to tell anyone until said it.

Chloe: That's good to hear. Glad she's keeping it for you. If she didn't, I'd beat her ass.

Michael: *chuckles* Chill, Chloe. I understand, but... would it be hypocritical for me to say it's too excessive?

Chloe: Well, kinda. Remember when you told me you were the one to expose Edge and Lita's affair? Then attacked most of the locker room for having Miz be punished too long for something little. And recently, when you send a very harsh email to Dixie Carter for planning to put you in a segment to humiliate you? And all that was when you were younger and not even the bottom of the iceberg.

Michael: Yeah. But... I guess looking back... I stressed a lot of people out. Especially my parents. *chuckles* I was such a crazy little bastard.

Chloe: Yeah, but that's only when you're angry, Mike. When calm, you're the best person around.

Michael: Yeah. *sighs* Anyway, I need to prepare for tonight. And after that, I'm going to wrestle in Lucha Underground.

Chloe: Cool. You had a bit of a hiatus as Hardline after winning the United States Championship. And I can tell you've been bulking up a bit in those weeks. I'm surprised no one has noticed yet.

Michael: Yeah. Anyway, talk to you later, Lo-Lo.

Chloe: Okay. Take care, Mike.

Michael ends the call as he prepares himself.

NXT
December 9th, 2015

We see Bayley facing Peyton Royce in a match as she prepares for NXT Takeover in London. Luckily for Bayley, Royce is a better wrestler than Eva Marie, and she wins the match.

Soon, Nia and Eva came out to the stage. All Red starts to call back to her title match while getting her standard chorus of boos, but Jax takes the microphone and tells Bayley the title will soon be hers.

Soon...

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

The crowd pops loudly as Eva and Nia look on in anger, with Bayley smiling. Soon, the United States Champion comes out as he looks fresh and new.

The crowd: HAIL TO THE KING!

Michael marinades their cheers as he mocks Nia and Eva before making his way to the ring.

He enters and hugs Bayley, getting a cheer, as he asks for a mic. He gets out as his theme fades. The crowd, however, didn't, as they continued to cheer for him.

Michael looks as he smiles before trying to speak, but the crowd cheers louder. Soon, they chanted "You're A Baddie!" as Michael laughed. Michael soon removes his glasses as he gets cheers from the women.

Eva and Nia rolled their eyes, not impressed by him revealing his blue eyes. Michael looks at them and raises a brow.

Michael: Seems like some women are jealous I'm Badder and Sexier than them.

The crowd and Bayley laughed as Eva glared at Nia hiding her smile.

Michael: Okay, now that we calm down... I like to first point out how I've been adjusting here in NXT, in no small part thanks to all of you. *looks at the crowd*

They cheered.

Michael: But, Nia... I get it. As your theme says "I'm not like most girls", you aren't. You're... sorry I paused because I was raised to talk to a woman about their weight - a fuck it - you're big...

The crowd oohed and laughed.

Michael: You're strong... and you have a lot of family in the business. I would know since we've seen each other whenever the Anoa'is invite me to dinner.

The crowd cheered as Nia shrugged in agreement.

Michael: But you're not as experienced as Bayley, here. *gets a cheer* Even with you're size and strength it can and will be used against you. I would know. I took out Big Show when I was this tall. *gestures how tall he was 10 years ago.* When he was at his at most heaviest.

The crowd cheered as they remembered that Hell In. A Cell match where Michael managed to bring down Big Show with a steel chair. It shows he's as smart as he is Ruthless.

Nia frowns as Eva tries to calm her down.

Michael: But... I'm one to give equal opportunity to anyone. Either you're a man, a woman, a kid - wait, I did that as a little boy and no kid wanted to fight me because they're scared, so scratch that - so yeah, uh...

The crowd laughs.

Michael: I'm open for you to prove you can take on Bayley for her Women's Championship at Takeover next Wednesday in London. So... how about I issue a challenge for you against me right now... for my United States Championship?

The crowd pops as everyone is shocked that Michael is willing to put his title on the line against a woman. They soon cheered as they got to see Michael facing a woman again after so long, with Lita being his first opponent.

Nia was intrigued and interested in the chance. A woman holding the United States Championship, a title worn by men? It gives off Chyna winning the Intercontinental Championship vibes many years ago.

The crowd agrees too as they chant "Chyna!" as Michael smiles at them. Soon, Nia thinks about and answers.

Nia: You're on.

The crowd cheers as Michael nods. Bayley looks at him a bit worried as he pats her on the shoulder and smiles.

*later*

We see Michael and Nia in the ring as Bayley and Eva Marie stand at ringside. The ref brings the United States Championship up as the crowd cheers. It is the first time the United States Championship has competed in an Intergender Match, in both WCW and WWE, and the second Midcard title to be defended, with the IC Title with Jeff Jarrett and Chyna.

The bell rings as the crowd cheers Michael removes his buttoned shirt, revealing his muscular body, though the crowd notices it's more bulky than before. Michael and Nia walk around the ring before meeting face-to-face.

Michael stood a growing 6'1 while Nia stood 1 inch shorter than him. The difference would be their weight, but it's not gonna be hard for Michael to take her down. Eva cheers for Nia while giving herself the praise as well as Bayley cheers for Michael.

Nia taunts him as Michael taunts her back before she hits him with a forearm. The crowd oohs as Michael nods before giving her a Forearm back. The crowd pops as both Nia and Michael exchange Forearms before Michael blocks her and hits a Headbutt, but then gets stunned.

Michael: I forgot Samoans have thick skulls- *gets taken down*

The crowd laughs as Nia looks down at Michael she brings him up and hits him with a clothesline. Nia looks at the crowd and taunts them.

Nia: He's not so Bad! Ya'll hyping him for no reason!

The crowd boos as Nia runs and went for the Leg Drop, but Michael sits up as she lands on her ass. The crowd cheers as Michael runs and hits a Sliding Lariat on Nia.

Michael covers her and Nia kicks out. Michael stood up and looked at the crowd.

Michael: I'm not like most boys! Because what?!

Crowd: Because you're Bad!

Michael: You know it! AEOW!

The crowd cheers as Michael smiles as he brings Nia back up. He went for an Irish Whip but Nia counters and sends him to the ropes. She went for a back body drop, but Michael countered with a Running Knee Smash. The crowd pops as Michael backs up and goes for the Flying Forearm, but is caught by Nia in mid-air, who then hits a Backbreaker on him.

Nia goes for the cover, but Michael kicks out. Nia gets up as she grabs Michael's arm and brings him up.

Nia: You think you're Bad?!

She pushes him back then pulls him back for a headbutt. Michael kneels as she looks down at him.

Nia: How about you show me! Show me why everyone was scared of you as a kid!

Nia pulls him back but Michael counters and hits a Reverse DDT.

The crowd cheers as Michael gets up and wraps his arms around Nia in a chokehold. Nia struggles as Michael gives a tight grip to wear her down. Bayley and the crowd cheer him on as Eva tells Nia to get up.

Soon, Nia starts to get up as Michael tightens his grip on the hold. But, then, Nia grabs his arms and flips him off her, slamming him to the mat. Nia sees her chance and runs then hits a Leg Drop on Michael.

Nia goes for the cover. Soon, Michael kicks out, and Nia is shocked. Not many women would kick out of her Leg Drop. Soon, Nia grabs him and locks him in a chokehold. This time, she's putting her weight against him as he struggles against the hold.

Bayley yells for him as the crowd chants "Come on, Mikey!" while she tells them to cheer him on. Soon, they started singing.

Crowd: Because you're Bad! You're Bad! We know it!

Michael starts to get on his knees as the crowd cheers. Soon he starts elbowing Nia, as her grip loosens. He starts getting up as Nia is getting elbowed, only to punch Michael away.

Michael steps back against the ropes as Nia shrugs off the elbows. She then yells as she charges at Michael, who drops down, pulling the ropes, and causing Nia to leave the ring.

The crowd pops as Michael looks on and smiles. He gets up as he measures Nia before running, jumps off the ropes, and hits a Moonsault.

The crowd pops as Michael gets up and howls to the crowd. Michael soon brings Nia up and slams her against the apron. He gives her a forearm smash before climbing onto the apron. He went for a kick, but Nia caught his leg, and pulled him towards her, as she Powerbombs Michael onto the floor.

The crowd flinched as Michael lay there as Nia took a breather. Soon, she reenters the ring as the ref continues to count. At Five, Michael stands up as he slides back in. Nia charges at him but he ducks under her clothesline.

Nia turns and Michael goes for a Stunner, but Nia pushes him away. Michael turns, gets lifted up, and Nia hits a Samoan Drop on Michael.

Nia goes to the cover.

Nia climbs to the ropes as she gets ready. Suddenly, Michael gets back up and he starts punching Nia. He then looks at the turnbuckle and gets an idea. He pushes her up and then goes underneath Nia. Michael wraps his arms around her legs, sitting them on his shoulders.

The crowd was yelling at him shocked as Nia screamed as she felt lifted. Michael walks forward, carrying Nia on his shoulders, to the crowd's shock, and -

The crowd yells out as Michael hits a Jacknife Powerbomb on Nia Jax. Nia was close to 300 pounds, but Michael carried her, walking forward and slamming her down. Both Bayley and Eva are equally shocked by his strength as Michael takes a deep breath as he covers Nia.

Soon, Eva starts grabbing Michael to hold him in place. Soon, Bayley tackles her and the two fight while Nia distracts the ref. Soon, Eva stuns Bayley and slams her against the ring post. She resumes holding Michael as Nia gets ready to hit the StinkFace on Michael.

She runs and spins, but Michael grabs Eva Marie from ringside and pulls her between the ropes, using her face as a shield by shoving it against Nia's ass. The crowd pops and laughs as Nia shakes her hips, thinking it was Michael taking it instead of her partner as Eva waves her hands around to try to break free.

Nia soon stops as she steps forward. Michael shoves Eva away as he gets up and stares at Nia. Nia turned and saw he was still standing but-

Michael runs her over with a Lariat. The crowd pops as Michael stares at Nia before pulling her up and wrapping his arm around her. Michael lifts her and hits a Uranage.

The ref gives him his US Title as Michael raises it up in victory. The crowd cheers as Bayley gets in the ring and hugs Michael. Michael hugs her back before picking her up on his shoulder as he celebrates his victory with her.

Soon, Michael sets her down as they leave the ring.

*offscreen, backstage.*

Pamela: That match was amazing, Mike. You had both you and Savelina look like stars.

Michael: Yep. We used to train a bit when I was little, as she was eager to wrestle. I remember her mom warning her to be careful with me.

Pamela: And she was?

Michael: Yep. But I wasn't. To her, at least.

Pamela laughs as Michael chuckles.

Michael: Anyway, I need to go.

Pamela: What? Aren't you gonna prepare for Takeover next week?

Michael: Yes, I just have something to do.

Pamela: Oh, okay. Well, see you in London if you haven't caught up at the Airport.

Michael: I'll be there, soon, Pam. Don't worry. I gotta go. Love ya, bye.

Michael hugs her and walks off. Pam, however, watches him as she has a frown on her face. Soon, Savelina appears as she sees Michael walking off.

Savelina: Where's he going?

Pamela: He had to do something, but didn't tell me what.

Savelina: I see. I find it odd though. It's been like that since last year. Whenever he visits, he makes an excuse to leave early and would come back a few days later.

Pamela: Yeah. I find it suspicious, too. I hope it's nothing bad.

Savelina: Don't worry, Pam. Michael's not one to do something illegal. I've known him as a little kid, and he can be extreme, but he was a good little boy.

Pamela: And what about the time during his baseball game, a rival team tried to screw him and he attacked the coach?

Savelina: Oh, yeah. Eh. It was found out they wanted to injure him as he has a mean streak of home runs, so, fuck that school.

Pamela: True.

Savelina: But, I think... he may be having a movie role soon. Remember he made cameos in movies like Godzilla, John Wick, and others?

Pamela: True. Last year, his parents knew, but now that he's a legal adult, he's making his appearances secret to surprise us and everyone else. But still, this seems more like something else.

Savelina: Well see what happens. We can force him to say it.

Pamela: Yeah, you're right.
