Next week*

After the surprising outcome to the women's battle royal, it was now down to only two women.

Ruby Riott and Bayley to battle it out soon for the final spot in Firing Squad.

Now for the guys side of the group, not a lot has gone on.

Alex was staying in Florida for the week as he was granted time off to move into his new house.

It was bad because he only had a couple movers since none of the other boys or even his own girlfriend were let off the tour.

So he was packing and unpacking alone for a week.

Donte on the other hand has been awol from the group up until it was his spot on the card.

Tommy nor Antony would be able to find him until it was show time, which was weird since Donte was quickly becoming a top locker room leader off script.

Now something was up since three people were now missing. Sasha hasn't been to any of the little group meetings they have before every show.

The leader, Tommy and Anthony were starting to pair the two up but didn't want to say anything until they were certain.

Onto Anthony, who has been a busy man as he accomplished being the first Universal Champion to surpass two hundred days.

Also with Becky by his side they're combining a total of almost five hundred days.

They haven't done much to their storyline since Wrestlemania is around the corner. She has her storyline with Asuka and Anthony is about to have a match set up for the big event.

Now with Tommy; Him and Bayley haven't had another "date" since their injury watch. They have been texting, facetiming and seeing each other at shows as much as they can.

He was really enjoying his time with her as they were getting to know each other quick.

As they kept telling each other almost everything, but also keeping it slow as they don't want to rush anything.

Bayley was having the time of her life with him as she never thought of him as a person of interest before.

He quickly changed her mind the past couple weeks.

Monday Morning*

Salt Lake City*

Everyone on RAW was now in Utah for tonights episode, still hyping up for two weeks in Los Angeles; Wrestlemania.

Last week, Firing Squad got intel from backstage that Bullet Club was going to Friday Night Smackdown in Las Vegas. So they decided to make a small visit.

While AJ and Finn were in the ring with their new women recruits, Sasha made a decision to jump the women.

That would then lead Donte and Tommy to rush into the ring from backstage.

Anthony and Alex weren't able to make it due to schedule changes, which was good and bad thing. Good thing since they didn't need back up, but a bad thing since the never know when they'll need it.

When the jump hit, the whole locker room from Smackdown came out to separate the two groups.

Shane then came out and barred them from coming back until after Wrestlemania.

Tommy, Donte and Sasha then drove back after that and continued with their tour life.

Back to Monday*

Alarm*

Tommy's alarm started to go off just a little after eight in the morning, which ment he needed to be up and ready soon.

There was a quick signing and appearance for a media studio that was hosting this event downtown.

It would be him and Anthony crushing this part down.

When the alarm kept going off, Tommy finally opened his eyes and quickly turned it off. While doing that, he checked his messages to see a couple from some people he cared about, and some he didn't.

So he checked the ones that really meant something.

Mom: Dad says that you're doing good? Now you're thinking of dating again? Good for you Tommy.

Alex: Damn man, this sucks. *Picture of boxes*

Pam❤: Hey, would you want to meet up before tonights show?

Tommy felt Alex's pain as he sent him a quick message back, then Bayley as he always caught up with her before shows now.

And the message for his mom, that was left on blank.

A quick backstory between his mom and Tommy, they've never gotten along after his attitude change when he was in high school. And after she shipped him off to Japan to live with his dad, that's when he cut ties with her.

Once in a while he'll message her and maybe call, but it's rare since shes never believed in him.

Later on throughout the day*

As the appearance and lunch has come and gone as Tommy and Anthony were now packed and headed to the venue for tonight.

The two had no idea what was happening tonight besides the new recruit coming in.

Arriving at the venue*

Anthony broke off from the leader and continued into a separate locker room, then he was on a hunt to find Bayley.

Which wasn't hard.

After dropping off his bags, Tommy walked into catering to see her sitting alone while eating a salad.

He didn't waste time to walk in and pull up a chair next to her.

Bayley: Tom! So good to see you!

Tommy: Yeah! You say that everyday!

Bayley: And I'm going to continue!

They both laughed as she had something on her mind that she really needed to run past her new, you could say boyfriend.

Bayley: So, I really needed to get a second thought from you. And I don't want to put pressure on you.

Tommy: Ok? What's up?

Bayley: So.. I talked to Rebecca and she had an idea for us.

Tommy: Us? Oh really?

Bayley: Now tell me if this is rushing but I told her that we would be down to go on a double date with her and Anthony.

He looked at her as she tensed up a little and he chuckled a little.

Tommy: Pamela. You know our first date was a double date?

Bayley: Yeah, but I wasn't sure if you were ok with it.

Tommy: I don't mind. I think it'll be fun.

Bayley: Really!? Great!

She was now happy as he wanted to say one more thing.

Tommy: But before we do that we still need to go on a second date.

Bayley: Oh yeah!? And when will that be?

Tommy: Two weeks? Los Angeles?

Bayley: So Wrestlemania weekend.

Tommy: I can be.

She smiled and agreed to his question which made him smile back.

Later on that night*

RAW just started as the show started with Kevin Owens running out and quickly trying to find a microphone wearing a hoodie.

It was covering his face as he felt that Donte could be after him if he saw his face.

Just as Kevin started to talk, the arena blacked out and Donte's theme kicked on.

The cameras picked up Kevin's microphone as he yelled and ran off.

Donte wasn't coming out as he was just plotting backstage while Kevin made a fool out of himself.

An hour later*

The third segment was now firing up as Bullet Club was out in the ring firing up everyone until Firing Squad theme hit.

AJ and Finn quickly took defensive stance since they've been jumped before, but they were then calmed as three members of the group walked out.

Tommy was just applauding which was making everyone confused, he wouldn't stop until the three were then at the ring.

AJ, Finn, Karl and Luke backed out a bit as they joined them.

Just as Tommy rose his microphone he had in his back pocket, he hit AJ with it and a huge brawl kicked on.

Donte taking on Luke and Karl with A bat, and Anthony going after the Irish man of the group.

Just before it got worse, security followed Triple H.

As the group of men were helping separate everyone, Triple H started on the microphone.

Hunter: I'm sick of watching you two rip each other apart for no reason. Why don't we make you all able to do it with style? Two weeks! Los Angeles, Wrestlemania!

The crowd started to cheer loud as that fired up both groups.

Hunter: Next week we'll announce the matches.. but I'll start with one. Donte and Alex verses Luke and Karl for the tag team championships!

He then dropped the microphone and walked backstage as everyone was taken out of the ring one by one.

All started to calm down as they were escorted to backstage.

Last segment of the show before main event*

Tommy was sitting in gorilla with a gift in his hands as he watched Ruby Riott walk out.

Bayley was pacing back and forth while hyping herself up.

She looked at Tommy as he winked at her, which was perfect timing since her theme song hit exactly at the same time.

The curtains opened and he watched her walk out.

Now it was time to watch through the monitors.

But as the match started, Hunter waved him over to the table to discuss what was happening.

Only two people know the outcome of the match, one competitor and Hunter.

End of the ten minutes, brutal match*

Tommy watched Bayley hit her insane top rope elbow and cover to get the three count.

She quickly let go and rolled over as she was exhausted from that match.

He looked up and quickly rushed through the curtain with a microphone and his present.

As the arena came into his vision, so did Ruby as she was walking straight up to him.

With the microphone in his hand you can hear Tommy wish her best of luck, but that didn't do anything.

Ruby: I don't need you to help!

As he said that, Sarah and Liv walked out and took their leader of the Riott Squad backstage.

Now that was over, Tommy walked down to the ring and was now looking at Bayley.

She kept character and was sceptical about him being near her since she was a major babyface.

He then got into the ring and threw her the shirt, then continued to applaud her.

She deserved it after that war she went through.

Just before the segment would end, the cameras caught Sasha walking down the ramp and Bayley quickly getting away from Tommy.

They embraced in a tight hug as Tommy then jumped out and joined the two.

He got in the middle of them and rose both of their hands as the crowd accepted this decision.

Backstage, thirty minutes later*

Tommy was on the phone with Alex as he watched the show tonight and was excited to see what was going to happen.

That's when Bayley caught up with him in the hallway after her interview.

Bayley: Hey!

Tommy: Hang on one second. Alex, wanna congratulate the newest member?

He held the phone out and onto speaker as they finally heard their teammate stuck in Florida.

Alex: Congratulations Pam! That was a hell of a performance.

Bayley: Thanks Alex, I cannot wait to see what this has in store for us.

Alex: Get ready for a ride of you life, I'll talk to you two some more when you're back.

Tommy: I'll call you later tonight man.

Alex: Alright, later you two!

He hung up and now it was just them in the hall way.

Tommy: So, welcome to the dark side.

Bayley: Oh boy.

Tommy: While you get changed, maybe think about getting a drink? Or a bite to eat?

Bayley: Why not? A victory celebration!

Tommy: Yeah yeah.

He rolled his eyes and laughed a little as she walked away to get ready.

Tommy took the time to go back into the mens locker room and grab his bags.

He packed them in a rental that the company was giving to superstars, he then turned around to see Bayley walk up in her sweats with a hood over her head.

Tommy: Cold?

Bayley: I'm apart of the dark side now.

Tommy: Oh boy.

She laughed and they both got packed to head to the hotel.

20 minutes later*

They quickly put their bags into their rooms and met each other downstairs in the bar area.

He ordered them a drink, and when it came they had a little toast.

Tommy: To victory.

Bayley: Sure. Victory.

Cling*

They sipped on the strong drink and continued to talk a little about what was going on between them.

Tommy: So, I figured out our second date.

Bayley: Ok, what's the deets?

Tommy: Well, I figured I'll make reservations to a restaurant. Then, head to the park that is apart of their new art collection. Maybe end it at that?

Bayley: Or?

Tommy: Or? Do you have anything in mind?

Bayley: Well, if it's in Los Angeles. Why not do what everyone in LA does?

Tommy: What's that?

She giggled for a second which made him smile.

Bayley: Stay inside and watch a movie.

They both laughed, but he didn't say anything as it sounded like a perfect way to end it.

Tommy: Ok, sounds good. After the park we could come back to my room and watch?

Bayley: Whatever sounds good then.

Tommy: Fine with me.

Cling*

They cheered again and enjoyed the rest of the night as they were now becoming and plotting dominance.
