The Saturday after a shocking RAW*

Money in the Bank weekend*

Tommy flew out of Atlanta with Bayley as soon as Friday night Smackdown cut the camera's. She wanted to go that night and get to their hotel early so they would have all of Saturday morning to themselves.

She wanted to have a day with him since they've been busy lately with everyone getting into their storylines, and some are on different brands.

Since he was mainly on RAW, she wasn't on TV that much for that show until lately, and when she is then it's hard for them to actually hang out. They'll be in talent relations meetings for tonights show, or rehearsing their promos.

The only time they'd have together would be whenever the tour was over and they were home, but that was only two days.

So she figured this could be something special.

Chicago, early morning*

Alarm at 08:30am*

Tommy was exhausted from the flight last night and couldn't fall asleep when his head hit the pillow. Bayley told him earlier that day before the show that they were going to tour around Chicago, he was excited but didn't know what they were doing.

Tommy wakes up*

His alarm was screaming in his ear and that quickly woke up the man living off of four hours of sleep, he opened his eyes ane closed them as the sunlight found a spot to peek it's way into his room.

Out of all places a beam of light hit him right in the face, forcing him to not be able to go back to sleep. So he threw off the covers, grabbed his nice clothes for today and headed into the shower.

While he was cleaning up and still waking up, Bayley was now freaking out a little.

In her room down the hall*

Sasha: Pam, you have to calm down.

Bayley: I can't, I'm nervous.

Sasha: Why? You and Tom have hung out before, you two have been dating for two months now.

Bayley: Almost three, but today is a full day just between us. Him and I, no one else.

Sasha: Don't you have a itinerary for you two?

Bayley: scrolls through her notes* I do.

Sasha: Ok then, just follow what you have planned. You two will be fine, trust me.

Bayley: I'll try, thank you for calming me down.

Sasha: Anything for my bestie. See you tomorrow morning for our workout?

Bayley: Of course. See you then!

She waved to her friend and hung up the facetime call as she took a deep breath while talking herself down.

Bayley: breathing* Calm down Pamela, this is just like any ordinary date at Tommy's.

Then her mind quickly spiked and changed.

Bayley: .. except this day is just between us. No one is here to third wheel or even double up.

She then felt her knees shake a little, it was now really starting to bother her since she has developed feelings for Tommy but doesn't know if he feels the same way.

After keeping her composure, she took another deep breath and slipped on her jacket.

One more deep breath and she walked out of her hotel room. As she was walking down the empty hallway, she reached Tommy's room and saw his door was propped open by the deadbolt.

She slowly opened it and looked around the front to see no sign of her boyfriend.

Bayley: yells into his room* Tom?

Nothing..

Bayley: opens the door completely to see it was empty* Majors? Where are you?

Tommy: Showering! Give me five.

Bayley: Gotcha.

She then heard the shower head turn back on and she sat on his bed as it was made.

It didn't look like he had slept in the room the night before.

While the waiting game kicked into effect, she got on her phone and saw a reminder come up for one of their appointments today.

It involved a tour of Chicago with a twist, and she knew that Tommy would love it.

They have all the time in the world today since they don't have to be at the venue for NXT Takeover until later that night. Hunter personally requested the two of them since they want to show that the two factions are interested in different brands.

Both Tommy and Bayley were happy to do it since this would be his first NXT pay per view, show in general.

Since he never went through the yellow brand that Triple H takes over, Tommy was very excited to see how they run the show.

A couple minutes later*

Bayley overheard the bathroom door open and she turned around to see her boyfriend all dressed. He was in jeans and a black hoodie.

She stood up, grabbed her purse and waited for him to quickly grab everything.

As he was struggling to grab his phone, wallet and find his key to his room; All Bayley could do was smile and crack a laugh. Fortunately he found it all and was ready to leave, so he held the door open and walked his girlfriend out.

In the elevator*

Bayley: showing Tommy her phone* Ok so I have us hitting most of the touristy spots first, just before it gets busy.

Tommy: Alright, what's first?

Bayley: Downtown. The Bean, then the Art Institute.

Tommy: Great.

Bayley: Then we'll have lunch, and trust me you're going to enjoy that.

Tommy: You-

Bayley: Wait! Then we'll finish off the day with the Riverwalk.

Tommy: You have it all down today, don't ya?

Bayley: I figured we might as we'll enjoy the day since this is a rare occasion.

Elevator dings* Main Lobby*

Tommy: walking Bayley out* I know, I was shocked to see that we had nothing to do today; well, besides tonight.

Bayley: Even tonight, that's nothing. We're sitting front row for a couple matches then leaving.

Tommy: Can't wait.

They continued to walk as they got into Tommy's rental car he got last night and headed out of the parking lot.

Bayley sat shotgun as she was typing, and also setting up the other addresses. Then she connected her phone to the car and started to play music.

He was suprised about her music choice. Tommy didn't mind "My Chemical Romance" but he would be later pressured towards her favorite, Paramore.

She had in mind to take him to one of their concerts one day.

Then he overheard her starting to sing which was a win in his book since he felt that she was becoming more comfortable around him.

30 minutes later*

Tommy parked the car and walked around the drivers side to meet up with her as she was in awe from Millennium Park.

Off the back there were multiple statues and art pieces surrounded by garden beds.

Then a camera crew that Tommy recognized walked up to them.

Tommy: Ah, I see we can't always escape work.

Camera guy: Yea, yea. We're just here to take a photo or two at all the different places you two go to.

Tommy: Seriously? We're trying to enjoy a day out together.

Camera guy: You won't notice that we're here.

They then started to shoot photos as Bayley started to walk and Tommy followed her.

Entering the park*

Tommy was walking around with Bayley as she would walk up to anything that caught her eye.

There was the Crown Fountain where it was starting to get packed full of kids. With the camera crew following the two, this is now an easy way to get spotted.

So they moved on and walked towards where they were now looking into the Lurie Garden. It was a lovely, peaceful sight with the colorful grasses and shrubs until the sound of clicking from cameras started to tick Tommy off.

That's where an idea came into his head. He looked at Bayley's phone, then back at the map she was holding and had her follow him.

Both now walked into a building that lead back outside in the Boeing Galleries.

Multiple sculptures were in sight and more photos were being taken.

Tommy got his girlfriends attention for a second and held up his phone to give her a hint. Then he started to shoot a text at her.

Tommy❤: We're ditching the crew.

Bayley: How do we do that?

Tommy❤: Follow my lead.

He the pocketed his phone and walked up to a security guard while Bayley kept them distracted for a second.

Tommy: Hey man. I'm not too sure who these people are, but they're taking my girlfriend and I's pictures without consent. Can you take care of them? Were just trying to enjoy ourselves.

Guard: No problem sir. Grabs radio* Code 7 outside of the main doors to the Boeing Gallery, need a couple guys over here.

He then nodded at Tommy and started to walk to where Bayley was, then he stood in front of them and slowly pushed them away from the couple.

Bayley then looked over at Tommy and quickly walked over to him.

They then snuck out of the back exit and walked away from that building where the camera crew was hung up.

20 minutes later*

Bayley was a happy girl as she got the rest of the time to herself with Tommy as they took the normal cheesy photo, her kissing his cheek as they sat in front of the famous "Bean".

She made it her backround on her phone and was now looking at the clock, they were on perfect timing.

Bayley: Alright. Time for lunch.

Tommy: Great, I'm starving.

Bayley: That's what I wanted to hear, you'll need a empty stomach.

He was now intrigued on what she had planned as they got back in his rental car and drove down the road to a small pizza joint.

Tommy: parks the car* This is what I'm talking about!

Bayley: Oh, just you wait.

They then walked inside as there was a group lined up and they all started to walk towards the back.

He was confused on what was going on until they walked through the backdoor and saw a huge line up of pizza places and other Chicago food joints.

Tour guide: Welcome to our tour of Chicago's best pizza place's, where we take you through the small sample restaurants of award winning cooks show their skills.

He then looks over at Bayley and kisses her cheek in excitement.

She figured he would enjoy this so that made her happy that they could have this time together.

And now alone since they ditched their company camera crew.

Later on that night*

Tommy and Bayley arrived to the arena where they would be put to the test in less than twenty four hours. Both didn't bring a bag since they'd only be there for two matches and leave thirty minutes later.

The show has already started with Takeover ending their pre show, now they're opening the first match with tag titles.

Bayley walked Tommy around a bit, introducing him to her old coaches and trainers before Hunter walked up. They had no idea they were near gorilla, but he walked out and saw them.

Hunter: Perfect, you're here. You're segment is next.

Tommy: Great.

Hunter: Oh, and one other thing. I heard that you two somehow escaped the photographer's today? What's up with that?

Bayley: Well we-

Tommy: interrupts Bayley* We were just having a day to ourselves. I felt like they were ruining it so we got away.

Hunter: I see. John and Vince won't be happy to hear about that.

Tommy: Ok, cool. I was taught to never let the company take advantage of you when you have rare occasions like today. If they have a problem with that then they can personally talk to me.

He stood up for Bayley, and himself after Hunter threatened them a bit. It shocked him that the COO of the company that personally evaluated him and hand picked to sign was almost turning on him.

Hunter: Ok, let's calm down. Now you two are needed so my assistant will take you to your seats.

He pointed them to her and walked back through the curtain. Bayley was proud of Tommy for what he did and followed him as they were lead through the side.

Walking through a hallway, then out the side entrance where all the fans watched Undisputed Era get pinned by the Street Profits.

They cheered and were focused on them while the two superstars snuck through the crowd and went front row.

Both sat down and a camera guy walked straight to them and showed them on screen.

Bayley waved as Tommy nodded and they both were wearing their Firing Squad shirts.

On TV*

Mauro: Woah, check this out. Firing Squad leader Tommy Majors-

Beth: With the Smackdown Women's Champion Bayley! I wonder what they're doing here?

Mauro: Maybe scouting out talent for recruiting?

Nigel: Or opponents..

They then panned away from them as the next match was starting with Candice Larie and Io Shiari.

Back with Bayley and Tommy, front row*

As the bell rung, Tommy wrapped his arm around Bayley which had a couple people speculating.

Bayley quickly caught on and leaned over to him.

Bayley: Whispers in his ear* Aren't we keeping this a secret?

Tommy: What? Us dating?

Bayley: Yeah?

Tommy: I thought we were?

Bayley: Well, your arms around me. That may have people questioning.

Tommy: Looks to see that he is* Oh, sorry. Habit.

He then took it back and they were invested in the match.

End of their segment*

Tommy and Bayley then got up and walked through the crowd following a security guard. Multiple fans would try to reach out and high five them, but Tommy stayed in character and walked pass as Bayley would stop and say hi.

When they were done talking to some of the backstage talent, Tommy walked her out of the arena and left.

20 minutes later*

Bayley followed Tommy through the front of a Buffalo Wild Wings and were seated at a high top table.

It was almost packed since there was a huge UFC fight that night, but both were just hungry and wanted wings before going back on the diet tomorrow.

He ordered a draft beer and she got a mixed drink, then also ordered their food while watching the fights.

Enjoying their drinks until their food came, then it got better.

Both Tommy and Bayley were just having small talk while they ate. But when Bayley got up to go to the bathroom, Tommy placed another order that wanted to challenge them both.

When she came back, the waiter also came back and had two small wings with him. Whip cream can and some milk was then placed in front of them as she knew what was happening.

Bayley: These are hot, aren't they?

Tommy: Wanna take the challenge?

Bayley: Oh boy.. well what do we win?

Waiter: A shirt, bills paid and a photo on our hall of fame wall behind you.

Tommy turned around and looked closely at only four photos of a couple people, all had bare red faces and looked like they were suffering. He then turned back around and saw Bayley smiling with her wing on her fork.

Bayley: Let's do it.

Tommy: sighs* I know I ordered it, but god it's so real on the fork.

Bayley: Well. Cheers.

They cheered their wings and both took a deep breath while there was a crowd of people and waiters watching.

He said one more thing before they make the biggest mistake of their lives.

Tommy: See you in hell.

They both then simultaneously took their bikes and instantly felt heat.

While he made the mistake in swallowing it, he watched Bayley also swallow her piece and started to shake the whip cream canister.

Bayley: Oh my god!! This was a bad idea!

Tommy: breathing heavily* Holy hell.

Waiter: Do you want a can?

He shook his head no as he tried to stay manly, but as soon as Bayley stopped he grabbed it and started to use it.

Waiters and other customers were laughing as the pain was getting to them.

Bayley, face was turning red and she was taking it hard.

Tommy, sitting there in pain and almost crying as Bayley then saw him and laughed.

She then handed over her phone to the waiter and winked at Tommy as she wanted a photo.

This one was personal so they shared a kiss which made the pain worse.

She looked at the photo and loved it as they were starting to calm down. While he was chugging some water, she sent the photo to her best friend; Sasha responded almost instantly.

Bayley: Photo of Tommy and her kissing while they were basically dieing* This was a hot picture.

Sasha: Aww. You two are so cute.

Bayley: Thanks. But it was literally hot, our mouths were on fire. Atleast we won a shirt and free food.

She then put her phone away as they quickly snapped their photo and paid for their bill. Tommy then grabbed Bayleys hand and they walked out to his rental.

He then drove them back where they said their goodnights, shared a kiss and went into their separate hotel rooms.

Sunday night*

Money in the Bank*

Both Bayley and Tommy have recovered from the horrible hot sauce they encountered that night before, for now atleast.

They got up early that day and hit the gym as she separated from him to do her crossfit workout with Sasha.

Tommy walked over to the other side to do his own thing as she was planning a way to make her boyfriend into a crossfit addict like her.

After the workouts, they got cleaned up and hit the road for the arena.

Everyone was pulling in at once and beat all the fans backstage.

While Bayley was getting her hair and makeup done, Tommy walked away from her and tried to find his guys. But no one was to be found, atleast until Tommy found Becky.

Tommy: Rebecca. Have you seen Anthony? Or atleast anyone in the group?

Becky: Anthony is in our locker room. The others? I have no idea.

Tommy: Alright, thanks.

He walked away from her and went down the hallway which the first door was Becky and Anthony's personal locker room.

Knock knock*

Anthony: Come in.

Tommy opened the door and saw Anthony sitting there in his attire, waiting for the fans to get in and start the show.

Anthony: Looks at Tommy* Hey.

Tommy: What's up? Thought we could discuss our match a little.

Anthony: Alright. What do you got?

Tommy: So, were kicking the show off..

He went into detail on what could happen. They were both determined to kill it tonight as the pre show was ending.

Alex and Donte were out there defending their RAW tag titles against Bullet Club's Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.

Money in the Bank pre show*

Alex Auditore was on the top rope looking for a high flying AKO against Karl, but Luke got up and knocked down Alex.

He fell from the top rope and hit the slim mat below.

Cole: Oh!! Auditore hit hard.

Renee: That did not look good-

Cole: And here comes Donte!

The cameras watched a head full of steam Donte rush towards Luke until he was quickly picked up by Anderson and was hit by a spine buster.

He rolled out and Luke almost flung Alex back in the ring and Karl was lined up as they hit a "Magic Killer".

Karl covered and Luke almost laid ontop of him to make sure that Alex couldn't kick out.

The referee counted to three and the main tag team for Bullet Club had won their titles back. They both celebrated their victory and kicked out the team for Firing Squad at the mean time.

Alex sat up and looked over at Donte who had a pissed off face, quickly shot up and walked past his teammate.

This was building a storyline between the two since Donte and Tommy were now the only ones in the faction that are not holding titles.

WWE and Tommy wanted to show the real Donte after losing his title.

30 minutes later*

The show was now off of live streams and was now on the network as the main pay per view started.

Tommy knew that this would be the only time he would be able to see his girlfriend before, so she gave him a hug and goodluck kiss in gorilla.

He walked out to the factions theme song as well as the Universal Champion Anthony Jenkins did.

Both were now in the ring and Tommy walked in the middle of the ring as they were announced. Anthony walked over and shook his hand as he had something to say before.

Tommy: Remember man. Business is business.

Anthony: Always.

They then got into their corners, the referee then took his championship belt and called for the bell.

Both locked up immediately and Anthomy got a nice takedown to the leader of his faction.

Headlock kept him still until Tommy somehow got out and both kicked up and stared at each other.

The crowd was already hyping up this match since they love seeing the two battle.

End of the match*

Unfortunately the outcome of the match was a quick eight minutes as Anthony grabbed, it was his title on the side of the ring.

He hit the ground quickly without the referee seeing and threw the title back at him.

Tommy caught it and looked around as the referee turned back around and started to accuse him of cheating.

While they were having a yelling match back and forth, Anthony rolled Tommy up and got the three count to retain his title.

The crowd turned a bit on the match since they were hoping this could be a great one. But what they don't know is this will be a huge storyline build up that involves some in the group.

Anthony tried to help Tommy up, but his character was slowly turning on him and refused help.

He rolled out and walked to the back where no one would later see him until that night.

Tommy walked into a undisclosed area of the arena and was in a meeting the whole time as everyone elses match went on.

Final match of the night*

The men's ladder match was going on with Seth Rollins, Ali, a debuting Johnny Gargano and Baron Corbin. Everyone was wondering where the fifth guy was but were invested in the match so far.

Tommy walked out and checked his phone to see a text message from his girlfriend.

Bayley❤: Hey, I'll see you in the morning. My match was exhausting and I left early. See you for breakfast ❤

He smiled and scrolled through to see a photo of her attire following her match with a video.

The segment ended with both Becky and Bayley helping each other keep their titles.

Both were great matches as he saw until he was interrupted by a producer grabbing him.

They walked into gorilla and he was watching Ali and Rollins both jump off ladders and land into the tables below with Crobin and Gargano laying there.

All four men were laid out and his theme song then hit.

The crowd pop was pretty big as he had a opening for a easy win.

TV*

Cole: Tommy Majors? What's he doing here?

Corey: Isn't it obvious Cole? He's here to take an advantage of these non deserving clowns.

Cole: Well. I guess that's a way to put it.

Renee: But he already had his shot at Anthony tonight.

Cole: Who knows if he wants Anthony? Maybe he's going to go after Roman?

Tommy slowly walked down the ramp as there were bodies everywhere. He then had a smirk on his face as he slid in the ring and put up the biggest ladder the guys had out.

Ali tried to grab at him, but Tommy quickly countered with his finishing rolling cutter.

As he was rolling out of the ring, Tommy quickly climbed to the top and grabbed the briefcase to win the match.

The crowd had no idea how to react since they could be getting Tommy vs Anthony part two, or they could be getting a new match.

He then sat ontop of the ladder wearing his normal attire and held the case in front of him, looked straight at the camera and hit it multiple times.

Tommy: Watch out Anthony!

The pay per view then ended with his victory ontop of the ladder.

To be continued..
