A month has passed since Wrestlemania*

Everyone in the company were sent overseas for two whole weeks. Tommy was getting his first hand experience on how WWE tour's around Europe and China.

First couple nights were amazing since he was almost in the same cities he wrestled in with New Japan, but the scheduling was starting to get to him quickly.

As soon as he would wake up his schedule would be a quick workout followed by a drowning amount of media. On top of that he would have to wrestle that night and travel to the next town, and he was starting to become physically exhausted.

With then Bayley wanting to take him to places with her as well filling the rest of his free time ment he was fully booked. He enjoyed the time they were having but he needed some space to relax and recover.

She understood and made some light plans with him everyday.

Now for her, she was still dominating being the Smackdown Women's Champion by battling it out with Lacey Evens every night. A interference would always result in her victory, but also ment her body was taking hits.

Charlotte would come out and back up her partner by flipping a table open and sending Bayley through it.

She would then lay there with her title in her arms until Sasha would come out.

Continuing with the overseas tour*

WWE has now brought Monday Night RAW and Friday Night Smackdown to London, England where almost everyone in Firing Squad were blindsided.

The company had pulled a fast one and had everyone putting their titles on the line for those two nights.

Donte and Alex had retained their tag team championships, Becky had retained her RAW Women's Championship and Anthony had stayed on top by keeping his Universal Championship.

Tommy and Bayley were notified that their titles would be on the line on Smackdown. It made sense for her to defend her championship on the right show, but Tommy was sceptical on what was happening.

He's never once had to go to the blue brand because he held the white and gold. Being the Intercontinental Champion ment he stayed on RAW, atleast until that Friday night.

When Smackdown first aired, Tommy and Sheamus kicked it off with an open challenge where he would go loosing his first title in the new company.

After the match they all figured out that WWE were switching the United States and International Championship. So now he was going back home to RAW with no gold.

Bayley on the other hand was more lucky than her boyfriend since she had retained her championship after another interference with Charlotte.

This would then push Lacey's storyline out while they would boost Charlotte back into the title picture.

More storylines would be slowly building as they go back home from the non stop long tour.

The next pay per view is Money in the Bank.

2 weeks until Money in the Bank*

Monday. New York*

Today was a huge relief since everyone was able to sleep in after their hectic week.

No media, no meetings. All Tommy had in mind was sleeping in.

10am alarm*

Tommy woke up and quickly sat on the side of his bed to completely wake up, if he stayed under the covers then it'd be bedtime.

His phone had the normal notification list from his social media getting blown up, to the light text messages from the group chat and or his parents.

Mostly it would be his dad or sister, but once in a while mom would pop up which would be a surprise.

While he checked that quickly, Tommy got dressed and headed downstairs to the hotel gym where it was mostly WWE superstars and staff in there.

He knew almost everyone in there and was suprised to not see anyone from his faction.

No one, no Alex, Donte or Anthony. Not even Bayley or Becky. It didn't bother him since he figured that they were either sleeping or doing their own morning routine.

What he doesn't know is ever since lost his Intercontinental Championship in London a few weeks ago, everyone in Firing Squad have been in meetings behind his back. They would usually go into a room somewhere near the venue that the company would rent and discuss his leadership.

Whenever this would happen in Japan, the leader better watch his back.

A quick summary of it was they've been questioning his leadership after Wrestlemania. His wrapsheet in WWE have been a bit short unlike everyone else the group. They also saw that he knew about the extent of his struggle, and they'll bring it up soon.

An hour later*

He finished his workout and walked back upstairs to take a shower.

While he was changing into clothes to wear to the arena later on that night. He sent her a quick message asking where she was and lunch

She replied to him almost instantly which suprised him a little.

Tommy: Hey, missed you downstairs. How about lunch?

Pamela❤: Sure thing! Sorry about this morning, I'll explain.

After reading it he walked out of hotel room and met her down the hallway where she almost matched him.

Tommy: Sup?

Bayley: mimicking him* Sup?

Tommy: Stop.

She laughed and they got onto the elevator, went down to the lobby and walked into the diner there.

The place was filled with employees from WWE, so he stopped her.

Bayley: What's wrong?

Tommy: Let's go somewhere else. It's too crowded in here.

Bayley: Alright, where to now then?

Tommy: Let me look.

He pulled out his phone and searched for little places around New York that was also close.

Bayley looked at his phone and pointed out a small pizza joint that was two miles away. It was closer to the arena than their hotel, so both walked back to their rooms and grabbed their gear bag since they'll just go to the arena after.

When they met back up in the lobby five minutes later he walked her out. They went to his rental car and packed up, jumped in and took off into the lunch rush traffic.

Their twenty minutes commute turned into forty five plus, so now it was almost stand still traffic.

20 minutes into the drive*

Tommy was at a full stop and scrolling through his phone as Bayley was on Instagram Live. She was asking for questions from the fans until he pulled up a song.

Her face light up in the video as he was completely clueless until he overheard her rapping to the music and censoring herself.

His face then light up as she was doing it straight into the camera and the fans were loving it.

After a little she turned off the live video and looked at Tommy while still going.

He was in complete shock as she wasn't stopping, that was until he turned it down.

Bayley: ..how 'bout you and me, me and you. Go away together, we could get away forever..

Tommy: turns down the volume*

Bayley: continues a little*

Tommy: Oh my god.

Bayley: What?

Tommy: You can spit.

Bayley: I just know that song well

Tommy: You're telling me. It sounded like Rocky was in the car with us.

Bayley: With Leah and I non stop driving during NXT, we would have rap battles. She would always win until I kept at it and started to actually compete with her.

Tommy: Learn something new everyday.

He continued and she had to stop him for a second.

Bayley: Alright, you got something from me. What can you do that I don't know?

Tommy: Uhm.. I can make a mean spaghetti.

Bayley: You already told me that..

Tommy: Ok, how about shot gunning a beer in four seconds?

Bayley: Jesus. But I've seen that already.

Tommy: Damn..

He kept thinking until he figured it out finally.

Tommy: I can play guitar.

Bayley: You can play?

Tommy: Yeah, I picked it up when I was twelve. Then started taking lessons when I was fourteen.

Bayley: Well.. you'll have to play me something.

Tommy: As long as it's not "Through The Fire and The Flames", then I'll try.

She laughed and they slowly crept through the traffic until they finally made it to the little corner pizza place.

Both jumped out after a tough parallel parking game and walked inside.

They both had a slice of huge pizza and left after twenty minutes.

Everyone then met up at the arena as the show was now five hours out.

Fast forward to opening of RAW*

Today would be the first time that Tommy didn't open the show with his belt.

He and the rest of Firing Squad walked out to the ring where there were multiple contracts sitting on the table in front of them.

Tommy was still up front with a microphone while everyone stood behind him with titles, except Sasha.

She wasn't out there but her signature was already on one of the contracts.

Tommy: Alright, I'm already hating this since I feel left out. Let's get this over with. We are out here to announce what matches we will be taking part of in the next pay per view. I'll let the ladies go first.

He stepped aside as Bayley and Becky stepped forward where they already had contracts in their hands.

Becky: Well. If you can see in my hands is the RAW Women's Championship contract where I happily signed when I stepped into this ring. Charlotte Flair thinks she can run around us because of her last name, and we all know if it wasn't for her father then she wouldn't be relevant.

She passed over the microphone where Bayley had her title strapped around her and two contracts in her hand.

Bayley: Oh, this is going to be a fun night. I'm on double duty with defending my Smackdown Women's Championship against Lacey Evens. Already signed and ready to be shipped to Friday nights. Now this one is a special one since Sasha and I get our tag titles back to the rightful hands.

She quickly signed it as all four womens signatures were then on there. Sasha, Bayley, Asuka and Kairi.

They then left as the group was trying to build heat.

Alex and Donte were scheduled to defend their titles against whoever wins the battle royal the next show.

Now it was Anthony's turn as they tried to pass the microphone back to Tommy, but he was strapless.

So now it was the Universal Champions turn.

Anthony: Alright. Well, I'm honestly not sure who I'm going up against. I haven't heard anything-

Tommy: Here, I'll take that.

He took the contract from him, opened it and quickly signed it next to his line where it remained empty.

After he finished, Tommy then jumped out of the ring as Anthony was in shock that his own brother was hunting for his title.

Anthony: Wait- Tom. You're already in a match, no? Aren't you in the ladder match?

Tommy: shrugs*

Anthony: So why come after me?

Tommy: from the camera microphone* I'll now have two chances to take that title away.

He then walked backstage to a couple shocked faces in the group until Anthony came back in and shook his hand.

Anthony: May the best man win.

Tommy: Business is business.

Him and Becky then broke off, Alex went on a hunt for a little goddess and that then left Tommy and Bayley.

He wasn't on schedule until later on in the night, but he didn't know what it was for.

Bayley was finished since the two shoes are trying to keep her healthy for Smackdown, even though shes shown on both shows.

So she walked back to the womens locker room while Tommy went to find Donte.

Him and Sasha have been acting off, like not themselves. Bayley would try to talk to her best friend but nothing would come out of the conversation.

Ever since she joined Firing Squad theyve been a bit distant, and Bayley hopes she won't lose her best friend.

Later that night*

Anthony was battling Finn Bálor after a challenge was issued, and the Universal Champion put his title on the line.

While the match was already five stars, Finn was getting the best of him until he hit his Coupe De Grace and went for the pin. But the match was called after the two count when Tommy ran in and pulled the ref out while going back into the ring and attacking Finn.

Anthony retained and went backstage quickly as it seemed like the title match was now getting to Tommy's head.

An hour later*

Tommy and Bayley were walking through the hallways going back to his rental car where they were stopped by Alex and Alexa.

Alexa: Pam!! So excited for next weekend!!

She hugged them both and they walked walked away as Tommy stood there in comfusion.

Tommy: Next weekend?

Bayley: Oh yeah, since were in Los Angeles were hitting up Disneyland.

Tommy: Oh cool.

Bayley: I hope you're cool with me making us plans?

Tommy: As long as were together then I'm cool with it.

She smiled and gave him a kiss as they continued back to the rental car and headed back to the hotel.

Next week will be a test to Tommy is he can get the job done and be the leader he should be.
