The Judgment Day, JD McDonagh, and the New Ministry walk backstage after their match and are all congratulated on their work. While walking through the gorilla, Jacen's eyes find Tay Melo, who walks over to him with a smile.

Tay: Congratulations on your win, Jacen.

She says, still smiling. He returns the smile.

Jacen: What? No hug?

Tay: You're all sweaty. Maybe after my match.

Jacen: I'm afraid I can't wait that long. Oh, I got an idea.

He says before turning around. He grabs his entrance jacket and puts it on backwards. Then, he turns back to face Tay Melo.

Jacen: Better?

Melo hugs him while laughing and shaking her head.

Tay: Better.

Lexi, who came to see Duncan, discreetly takes a picture of Jacen and Tay. She can't lie, they look really cute together. Besides, Jacen wearing his jacket backwards just to hug someone is both unprecedented and cute as hell. Who knew the Undertaker's son had such a goofy side?

Duncan: How come you never hug me like that?

Lexi: Your pit stains have pit stains.

Duncan: Never stopped you before~

Lexi, smirking: Careful, big guy~

Jacen: Would you two stop? You're disgusting.

Duncan: Jealous I scored the most beautiful woman on the planet?

Jacen: No. I'm sad that she lowered the bar that low.

Duncan: Dick.

Jacen: Ass.

The two glare at each other. Then, the two fist bump each other and smile. They laugh at each other, then turn to completely face one another.

Jacen: Duncan, you remember Tay?

Duncan: Sure do. How're you?

Tay: I'm good. You?

Duncan: Can't complain.

Lexi: How do you two know each other?

Duncan: We met at an NXT party. Logan invited me.

Lexi: I see. Do you two...know...each other?

Duncan: Lex!

Lexi: What? She's hot, you're hot.

Tay: No, I wasn't single and he had that weird thing going on with Bayley.

Jacen: Uh oh...

Lexi: What weird thing with Bayley?

Duncan: Jacen, help me out here.

Jacen: What do you want me to do? I can't make you unfuck her.

Little Miss Bliss just laughs as Duncan panics slightly. Duncan looks at the Goddess of WWE nervously.

Lexi: I'm not mad, ya big lug. As long as you're not still fucking her, we're good.

Jacen: Oh, that reminds me. Bayley called earlier.

Duncan: You shut your ass up!

Jacen, laughing: Just kiddin', man. Kenway was right, that was too easy.

Duncan: You're an asshole!

Jacen: Sure am.

Duncan: I swear sometimes it's like you and Winters are the same person.

Jacen: Maybe we are. Maybe we're a hive mind and there's actually hundreds of us.

Duncan: And I have a new fear.

Jacen: Happy to help.

The group all smile and go sit down at catering. Tay had a small segment where she and Toni ran in on Damage CTRL, so she's already changed out of her ring gear. She and Lexi's attires couldn't be more different yet, as they talked more while the guys went to go change, they found themselves become friends rather quickly. Sure, it was mostly thanks to Lexi telling stories about the guys, but hey, they had to have something to talk about, right?

Tay: So Jacen's a veteran?

Lexi: Yep. Him and Winters. It's how they met.

Tay: Really?

Lexi: Yeah. I think they're also cousins, but I can't remember. Jace can tell you when he gets back.

Tay: Interesting. How long have you known him?

Lexi: Oh. Uhhhhhh I don't know. It's been a long time. I do know that if you're gonna date one of the BSK, you gotta be careful.

Tay: Careful?

Lexi: Oh yeah. Our boys are hot. Ladies love 'em. You better keep an eye on all the other ladies on the roster.

Tay: Okay. What's a BSK?

Lexi: It's their group. The Bone Street Krew. Jacen and Caleb formed it and named it after Undertaker's old group of buddies he had. There's Jace, the Winters siblings, Duncan, Logan, Cody, and Jade. Any significant others are considered part of the Krew once they pass the initiation test.

Tay: Initiation test?

Lexi: It sounds scarier than it really is. Don't let it bother you. Jacen and Caleb would never make you or anyone else anything they wouldn't do.

Tay: Weren't they special forces?

Lexi: That's a fair point. But don't worry, it's nothing like that. Besides, joining the Krew is optional. Just think about it, okay?

Tay nods.

Next Week, SmackDown

Draugr, Duncan, Damian, and Rhea stand in the ring together. Rhea and Damian stand to his left while Duncan stands to his right. They stand together before Draugr speaks.

Draugr: Last night...last night, brother, you decided to claim your birthright and sit by our father's side on the Throne of Darkness.

The crowd has mixed reactions to Damian betraying the Judgment Day. Everything that's happened these past few weeks have given the fans an interesting show, but they don't agree whether to cheer or boo for it. Judgment Day fans are angry while fans of the Undertaker's lineage are happy.

Draugr: But now...you must prove yourself. Prove your loyalty to your family, our new Ministry, by vanquishing the Demon you called friend. My Right Hand of Destruction will assist you.

He says while gesturing to Duncan. Blake crosses his arms and nods, ready for any fight and willing to prove he's loyal to Draugr and the new Ministry.

Damian: He's a dead man.

The two brothers lock eyes with each other and Damian smirks. Draugr nods and the lights go out. When they come back on, Duncan and Damian are the only ones standing in the ring.

Finn Bálor walks down the ring. He's accompanied by Dominik and JD, the former looking incredibly distraught. Finn, on the other hand, just looks angry. He climbs into the ring while Dominik and JD stand on the apron.

Damian: You heard the man, Finn. Bring out the Demon so we can settle this.

Finn: The Demon isn't coming out just because a traitor like you demands it.

Damian: I was hoping you wouldn't say that. I was hoping we could leave all this behind us with one match.

Finn: Leave it behind us? You betrayed us! Turned your back and stabbed us in ours! It'll take more than one match to settle this!

Damian: Finn, I did what I had to. Blood runs thicker than water.

Dominik: So!? I chose Judgment Day over my family! You guys were my family! First Mami left, now you!?

Damian: This isn't about you, Dom! This isn't personal!

Finn: Really? 'Cause you turning on us sure felt personal!

Damian: Y'know what, let's settle this once and for all. I don't want just a normal match. If you wanna feel pain, I challenge you to a No Holds Barred Match!

Finn: No, no, no! If we're solving this, a simple three-count simply won't do it for me! If you want a match, it'll be a Last Man Standing Match!

Damian: You're on.

The two both drop their mics and have an intense stare down. While they're staring one another down, Duncan decides to follow Draugr's orders to the letter. He completely blindsides Finn with a huge shoulder tackle, knocking him to the ground.

JD and Dominik rush into the ring, but Duncan grabs them both by the throat. After struggling for a second, the two kick him in the midsection and force him to release them. Once he lets go, the two hit the ropes and run back at him. Unfortunately, he's already recovered and they're both clotheslined to the mat roughly. Duncan picks JD up, pulls him back by his neck, and shoots him back down to the ground with a clubbing blow to the chest.

Damian watches on as Finn struggles to get up. Meanwhile, Duncan turns his attention to Dominik. He picks Mysterio up, hoists him up, and drives him into the corner. Dom hits so hard, his head snaps back and bounces off the top of the turnbuckle post.

Duncan watches his body fall to the ground. Dominik rolls out of the ring, clutching the back of his skull. JD also rolls out of the ring. Damian watches on as Blake picks Bálor up once again. He lifts him up and throws him over the top rope, forcing him to land on JD and Dominik.

Duncan and Damian slide out of the ring and walk around to the bodies littering the ground. Duncan grabs Bálor and points at Damian, telling him that it's his turn to prove where his loyalties lie by dishing out punishment on the man he once called friend. Damian nods, grabs Bálor, and hoists him up. Then, he drives Finn's spine onto the apron with a Razor's Edge.

Finn rolls around in agony. If he wants any hope of defeating Damian Priest, he will need to call upon the Demon King.

Later

Damage CTRL's Bayley, Iyo Sky, and Dakota Kai stand in the ring with a mic.

Bayley: This past Saturday, two individuals cost me and my good friend Iyo Sky a tag team match that would've gotten us one step closer to becoming the greatest faction in WWE.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Tay comes down to the ring, dancing a little as she walks down. She slides into the ring and stands across from Damage CTRL.

Bayley: Do you have ANY IDEA WHAT YOU COST US!?!

Tay: Yep...and I'll do it again...and again...and again.

Bayley: Why? Are you that desperate to get a title shot?

Tay: I'm not desperate. Just sending a message.

Bayley: Well, with your little partner moving to RAW, looks like you'll be all alone. Good luck sending a message ALL BY YOURSELF!

She shouts before laughing. The other members of Damage CTRL look smugly at Tay as she just nods her head a little. She stops nodding, raises the mic, and speaks.

Tay: Who says I'm alone?

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

The Goddess of WWE herself Alexa Bliss is back! She struts down to the ring and climbs in, standing next to Tay. She grabs the mic and looks at Bayley.

Alexa: What's wrong, Bayley? You look like you've seen a ghost. Maybe that's because last time you faced the Goddess, you got your ass kicked.

Bayley, for once in a very long time, is at a loss for words. She can't believe that the Goddess has returned, looking better than ever.

Alexa: Cat got your tongue? It's okay, Bayley, I know this is rough for you. Here, let me make it easier for you and your little group to understand. You and I have unfinished business and Tay feels like she needs to prove herself. So, it'll be both of us versus you. Got it?

She drops the mic and glares at Bayley. Now, it's official. Next week, it will be Alexa Bliss and Tay Melo versus Damage CTRL!
