James wakes up in his hotel room and looks around. He sees the World Heavyweight Championship on his suitcase and looks over at his side to see Rhea asleep.

James smiles and stands up and gets dressed.

James grabs his phone as he walks out of the hotel room and walks down to the gym.

James gets to the gym and sees Wyatt and Alex.

Wyatt: What's up man?

James: Nothing really. Man your match against Cena is all over social media. Alex same with you vs Mox.

Alex: Well man I don't know what to say besides that I'm happy.

Wyatt: Same here. But hey bro. I heard that we all may have some stuff coming up.

James: Really?

Wyatt: Yea bro. I don't know what it is but most likely it'll be good.

James nods

Alex: Well why are we standing around? We came here to work out. Let's work out.

They all go to different parts of the gym.

*Elsewhere*

Rhea has woken up and looks around and doesn't see James in the bed.

Rhea gets up and gets dressed before starting to make some coffee.

Rhea sits in a chair and looks at her phone to see fanpages posting about her win against Shayna and also uploading posts about her and James. Rhea smiles at the posts and likes a few of them.

Then theres a knock on the door.

Rhea gets up and opens the door to see Toni standing there.

Toni: Hey Dem.

Rhea: Hey T. Come in.

Toni walks in

Toni: You making coffee?

Rhea: Yea James has a lot because he has a sponsor with Death Wish Coffee.

Toni: That's cool.

Rhea nods before pouring herself and Toni a cup.

Toni: Hey good match last night.

Rhea: It wasn't as good as yours. You and Becky had I think match of the night.

Toni: Thank you. But I think your match with Shayna was better.

Toni and Rhea turn to see the hotel room door open and see James walk in with Wyatt behind him.

Wyatt: Hey babe.

Toni: Hey.

Wyatt and Toni have a small kiss

James kisses Rhea on the top of the head.

Rhea smiles

*Later that same day*

Everyone is backstage at Raw as James gets up with his World Championship and walks to gorilla position.

*In the arena*

James walks out with the World Championship on his shoulder and laughs as the crowd boos him.

James gets onto the apron and looks around as he does a pose before stepping over the ropes.

James holds up the Championship before grabbing a mic.

James: Damn it feels good to be champ! Oh you all didn't think I could beat your hero Keith Lee? Well look at who's standing in the middle of this ring with the World Heavyweight Championship. Me and it's gonna stay that way for a long time because I'm never losing this Championship.

James laughs and goes to say something else before he hears something.

James looks at the ramp with a raised eyebrow as Kevin Owens walks out and gets cheered.

Kevin walks down to the ring and slides in before grabbing a mic.

Kevin waits for the crowd to stop cheering him.

Kevin: You know I couldn't help but hear what you were saying backstage and I thought to myself. Well he's saying a lot of bullshit. You think that you're unbeatable but now that you have that championship on your shoulder a lot of people are gonna be coming for it. I'm one of them. So what's your answer?

James laughs a little before looking down at Kevin.

James: Kevin you're still the same guy I beat at Survivor Series. So my answer to you is......No.

James laughs as he walks past Kevin and gets out of the ring.

James turns around as the crowd cheers for William Regal.

William: James Fatality you don't get to decide who you will and will not face. So tonight. Kevin Owens will be in a number one contenders match against Damian Priest. Whoever wins will face you at Backlash for your World Heavyweight Championship.

James looks pissed as Kevin in the ring is nodding and the crowd is cheering.

James walks past Regal as Kevin is hyping up the crowd.

*Backstage*

James walks around and sits down before putting the World Championship in a chair next to him.

Rhea walks next to him and sits down next to him.

They pull back and smile at each other.

James: What does the Raw Womens Champion have tonight?

Rhea: Just the usual. Promo and someone interrupts me.
