Alex was in his locker room getting his attire organized from his Filipino attire followed by his Seto Kaiba coat and Peyton's flower until he got a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw no one was there. He shrugged and closed the door and went back organizing his attire before taking out his US Championship and hanging on the locker. Then there was another knock on the door; he opened the door to see again there was no one; then he was ambushed from behind with a kiss on the neck from Alexa.

Alex: babe!

Alexa: hi, my love!

Alex: you scare me there

Alexa: thought I pull a prank on you

Alex: yeah you did

He pecked her lips softly.

Alex: where's Peyton?

Alexa: she's with Billie since they're defending their titles in an hour

Alex: since our matches aren't til later, what do you want to do?

Alexa looked at Alex while she bit her lower lip and the Prince knew what she was thinking about.

Alex: come on

He carried the Goddess making her yelp and he walked in to his locker room. As the door closed, Alexa grabbed Alex's face and pulled him in for a forceful passionate kiss. Alex sat down on the couch with Alexa on his lap as she continued kissing his face. Alex then started kissing back while his hands were on her back and leg. He slowly went down to her neck causing a moan to come out from her mouth. He slowly went back up to her mouth before they collapsed on the couch with Alexa on top of Alex while their lips interlocked. After an hour of making out, they pulled back while they sweated a bit.

Alexa: thank you baby

Alex: you kind of tease me back there

Alexa: I don't want it to get too much for you

Alex: you almost gave me a hickey

Alexa: almost...

She said as he poke his nose.

Alexa: I'm gonna go warm up for my match

Alex: we did kind of warm up a bit

He winked, making her blush.

Alexa: stop it!

Alex: okay okay

Alexa: I gotta go; good luck tonight

Alex: thanks babe, you too

They kissed one more time before Alexa left, leaving Alex to continue organizing his stuff. He grabbed a damp cloth and wiped it on his championship. Then he put on his attire.

(40 minutes later)

He went to catering and joined Randy and Alexa at catering to watch the show. The Usos and Finn retained their titles while Sasha and Bayley picked up a victory of the facebreaker team of Nia and Tamina.

Then the next match was for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship as Peyton and Billie defends against Naomi and Carmella.

Alex: well the best friends are up

Randy: and one of them is your girlfriend, apprentice

Alex: thanks for reminding me, mentor

Alexa: hope they retain

Alex: they will babe, don't worry

Then Peyton and Billie passed by the catering area to the gorilla with the titles around their waists.

Alexa: go wish Peyton good luck, baby

Alex: I'll do that now!

He ran out of the catering area to catch up with the IIconics.

Alex: Peyton baby, wait!

Peyton turned around to see her Prince running to her.

Peyton: my darling, you need anything?

Alex: no, I just want to wish you and Billie luck tonight

Billie: thanks Al

Peyton: aww, that's so sweet of you, babe

Alex smiled and he kissed Peyton's forehead. Then Femme Fatale plays.

Peyton: good luck, Lex

Alex: Mandy may try something, so watch out

Alexa: I will, thanks babe. Can I get my good luck kiss?

She said as she gave a cute pout.

Alex: how can I say no? Come here, my love

He pulled the Goddess in for a passionate kiss. As he tried to pull back, Alexa wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled his head in to keep the kiss longer. After a minute, Alexa pulled back and unwrapped her legs around his waist while Alex took a deep breath.

Alexa: thank you for that, baby

Alex: y-you're welcome, no problem

Peyton: don't worry Lex, I'll take care of him

Alexa smiled and she left to the gorilla.

Alex: thanks for the encouragement

As Alex stood up to go to the gorilla, Peyton and Alexa stopped him.

Peyton: before you go, we want to give you something for luck

Alex: and what is that?

Alexa: this...

Both girls kissed both of Alex's cheeks.

Peyton: good luck, my love

Alex: I'll do it for you, girls and listen closely because I'm gonna introduce my new theme and I'm introducing the Tyrant

Alexa: you're turning us on, babe

Alex: save it for later; I'm gonna go get in character now

The girls smiled and Alex left to the make up area. The artists applied the yellow eye contacts and war paint on Alex.

Artist: you look intimidating, Alex

Alex: I know, mentally sending a message to my opponents

He left the make up area and went to the gorilla. He saw that Shinsuke, Tye and Murphy were already in the ring waiting. Then a new theme played and it was the remix version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! opening theme from the movie, Dark Side of Dimensions.

The crowd were silent for a few seconds until Alex came out which the crowd cheered for the Tyrant. Alex looked around with a serious face as he was in his Tyrant character. Then he gave a cold stare to his adversaries in the ring as the announcer introduce him.

Announcer: and their opponent from Los Angeles, California; weighing in at 216 pounds, he is the United States Champion; the Tyrant Alex Auditore!

He got in the ring still not taking his eyes off his competitors. He took off his coat and handed the referee the belt. Then the bell rang.

Shinsuke went to strike Alex, but he was met by a kick to the gut before he was thrown out of the ring. Then Alex looked back at Tye and Murphy, the two ex-boyfriends of his angels. He got in fight mode and shouted:

Alex: your move!

Tye lunged and strike first followed by Murphy. The two were landing punches to Alex, but then the Tyrant powered out much to the shock of the Perfect 10 and the Best Kept Secret. Shinsuke tried to get back in the ring, but he was taken out by Alex.

(Backstage)

Randy: say hello to the Tyrant, girls

Billie: damn, Alex looks intimidating

Alexa: and he looks hot

Peyton: don't tell me that the Tyrant is turning you on, Lex

Alexa: maybe; is he turning you on as well?

Peyton lightly blushed.

(Back in the ring)

Alex did a back body drop on Murphy followed by a clothesline on Tye. He kept working on Tye and Murphy until Shinsuke ambushed him from behind with a kick.

Shinsuke landed some knee shots to Alex's stomach. He picked him up and launched from the ropes, but he was caught by a scoopslam.

(End of match)

Tye pulls Murphy off.

Tye and Murphy were arguing and shoving each other to see who gets the pinfall. Their argument came to a abrupt stop as Shinsuke took out Tye with a Kinshasa. Murphy ducked a right hand and hits Shinsuke with a step up enziguri; the King of Strong Style was wobbling on his feet, then he was met by Alex with an AKO. Then he shared an intense stare with his NXT arch rival. The two stared daggers and landed quick punches to one another.

Murphy kicked Alex in the stomach and sets up for another Murphy's Law, but the Tyrant got out of it and hits a superkick followed by an AKO. He looked down at Murphy with an evil like grin on his face. He picked his body up and sets him up on his shoulders before grabbing his head and nails the Best Kept Secret with Heart of the Cards. As he goes for the cover, Tye ambushed him with hits, but the Perfect 10 paid for it as Alex hits another AKO. Then he turned Tye around and locked in the Millennium Lock, forcing Tye to tap out from the pain.

Announcer: here is your winner by submission and still United States Champion, the Tyrant Alex Auditore!

As the referee handed the title and raised Alex's arm, the Tyrant looked down at the fallen bodies of his rivals.

(Backstage)

Randy and the girls were clapping for their friend.

Alexa: remind not to provoke the Tyrant

Randy: Alex came up with the Tyrant persona

Peyton: really?

Randy: yeah, he took some inspiration from Finn's Demon King and my old Legend Killer gimmick

Alexa: well, he really turned us on tonight

Alex went backstage to the make up area to get the eye contacts out. Then he went to catering and sat with Alexa and Peyton.

Alex: what you girls think of the Tyrant?

Alexa: he's dangerous, babe

Peyton: and handsome too; reminds me of those werewolves from the movies

Alex: and the best part; I still have this

He said as he held out his US title.

Peyton: Billie and I retained, Alexa retained and now you retained, darling

Alex: yup

Then the final match showed Randy's match against Daniel Bryan.

Randy: the mentor's turn

Alex: you got him, mentor

(Fast forward to the end of the match)

After Randy dropped Daniel with his hanging DDT; he was looking to end it by setting up the RKO before going to that place. As Daniel stumbled to his feet, the eco-environmentalist's peer Rowan, pulled the Viper's leg. Rowan put his hands up as the referee argued with the Bludgeon brother. Then from outta nowhere, Alex laid Rowan out with an AKO. Daniel was jawing at Alex before Randy took advantage and hits the RKO.

Announcer: here is your winner and still WWE Champion, the Viper Randy Orton!

Alex was clapping for his mentor from ringside.

(1 hour later, at the hotel)

Peyton and Alex were watching a movie while Alexa was in the bathroom taking a shower. Peyton laid her head on Alex's shoulder to make herself comfortable. Alex looked down at Peyton and smiled at her. Then he moved his hand and placed it on Peyton's thigh which made her shiver and gave out a small moan. She looked at Alex with a blushing smile.

Peyton: you just love touching me there, don't you?

Alex: can't help it babe; to be honest, when you do that spinning heel kick, it turns me on

Peyton blushed heavily while Alex caressed her leg.

Peyton: I guess all that leg day workouts really paid off

Alex: they do

Peyton: come here, my love

She grabbed his face and pulled him in for a passionate make out session. However, their session was interrupted by Alexa.

Alexa: aww, you're having a make out session without me?

Alex: you were in the bathroom for a long time babe

Alexa: hey, I need to fix my hair you know

Alex: even though if it's messy or not; you're still beautiful

Alexa: stop, you're making me blush

Alex: come here and join us

Alexa jumped to the bed and dove her lips to her favorite spot, Alex's neck.

Alex: not my neck!

Peyton: wait for me, Alexa!

Alex: oh no!

Peyton went down to his neck as well. Alex shivered from the feeling of the girls' lips. Then they pulled back.

Peyton: Alexa, I think it's time

Alexa: yup

Alex: time for what?

Alexa and Peyton: this!

They went back to kissing his neck. Then they sunk their teeth into the skin making Alex shiver more.

Alex: o-oh my god

After three minutes they pulled back with satisfying smiles.

Peyton: aww, look Alexa we left some souvenirs on his neck.

Alexa: they look cute on him

Alex: what are you two talking about? What did you two do?

Peyton: look in the mirror

Alex got out of the bed and looked at the mirror in the bathroom and saw two hickeys on the side of his necks. He got out of the bathroom and went back in the bed while Alexa and Peyton looked at him with teasing grins.

Alex: doesn't matter; these marks remind me that I'm yours forever, babes

Alexa: aww

Peyton: you're gonna make me cry, Alex

Alex: come here girls

The two leaned in for a group hug.

Alex: I love you so much, girls

He kissed their heads. Then the three cuddled together before falling asleep.
