Max arrives at the PC he doesn't instantly get down from the car as he is still beating himself up for probably putting his chance of winning the tag team championship with Cody at risk even if it was for a good reason like taking weight off Shawn's back

Max: okay enough first you go to the doctor and then you help from ringside no more stupid shit like that

He gets out of the car and walks in and as he is making is way to the doctor's office he sees some people gathered around the ring in the middle of the room, there was buddy, rami and miro but he doesn't recognize the rest of people but who he definitely recognizes is the people inside the ring, Natalie Neidhart and Tyson Kidd

Max: Nattie, TJ! What's up

Everyone turns around and looks at him the eyes of the people he didn't recognize go wide and they start talking to each other almost not taking his eyes off him

Nattie: Max! Come here

he approaches the ring, says hi to everyone in ringside and gets inside the ring, Natie instantly embraces him into a breathtaking hug

Max: N-Nattie you are crushing me please

Nattie: i just missed you a lot, you idiot

Max: Nat it's been just three weeks

She let's go and lets Max breathe before he also fist bumps and hugs TJ

Nattie: even then your absence is notable in the locker room you know even more with Cody being a ball of nerves with the fact that he doesn't know if you are getting cleared or not

Tj: yeah man he is always asking people if they got an update on you like you were hiding something to not make him worry even more

This just sent Max in another internal guilt trip, Cody was so excited to finally have a chance for the championship alongside Max and him risking it like this is just selfish

Max: I should have called him but I will later what are you guys doing here don't you have a wedding to end planning

Nattie and TJ were going to marry each other finally after years of dating, Max always was the biggest supporter of their relationship so much that he helped TJ on his proposal to Nattie to make sure it went perfectly both of them deserved it, they always took care of him since the second they met him backstage in WWF and more once he started training in the hart dungeon

Nattie: we have it all sorted out and we are here to help them

She points at the new people who were scattered at ringside just talking to each other and who also stop the second they heard Natalie mention them

TJ: let me present them to you, their names are CJ (Lana), Charles (gable), Benjamin (Neville), Leah (Carmella) and Rebecca (Becky Lynch) we are training them

Max: pleasure to meet you all

Leah: pleasure is all ours sir

The rest nods at the statement of the dyed blonde who is, just like the rest, staring at him like little children this creates a little smile in Max's face

Max: well now i am going to the doc after that maybe i can help a little bit with your training if TJ and Nattie like that idea

Max can see in their faces a little bit of excitement and doubt, a little bit more of help but with addition of an extra pair of eyes to judge them

Nattie: of course we like that having extra help and from a pro like would be perfect, also I think you are going to like them they are interesting people

TJ: meanwhile we are gonna start warming up so when you come back we are ready to go, so come on people to the rings to stretch a little bit before we start let's go!!

All of them go to the rest of rings in the room and start doing exactly what was said to them while being followed by TJ who started to supervise everyone while helping them with little tips about anything that helps them warm up properly, Max takes this as cue and leaves to the doctors office

(At the doctor's office)

The doctor was checking Max and asking questions to see if he was alright

Doc: so have you experienced any type of nausea or dizziness these last few days?

Max: nope didn't feel anything of those things or headaches

Doc: alright and any mood swings like you know feeling down because of your time away from the ring

Max: nah I have been away from the ring for far longer periods of time before so three weeks were almost nothing just a little bit boring nothing more

Doc: perfect, well it looks like you're okay to come back although I wouldn't try to start doing crazy moves your first day back in the ring

Max: don't worry doc i am going to be careful

Doc: last time you said that you were thrown off the stage into two tables so I don't think I can trust your word

Max: I swear, though i think i am probably going to be at ringside when I come back before coming back in the ring just in case

Doc: that is good to hear, well take care of yourself

Max: thanks doc

He leaves hiding his excitement about coming, this past three weeks were killing him with boredom he could do regular things he liked but those things got boring quickly and most of his friends being wrestlers who are busy traveling throughout the states and his family being all the way back in Montana let's just say he didn't have a lot of fun

He excited joggs to the ring area but midway through the gym he stops to see Alexis who is weight lifting, she notices him and drops the two dumbbells she was using

Alexis: hi coach I thought you already left to appear in the next ppv

Max: hi Alexis, nope needed to get checked and cleared first

Alexis: oh and how it went ?

Max: doc says I am a 100% ready to go back in a couple of days maybe next week

Alexis: that is great to hear coach...emm

Alexis looked like she wanted to ask him something and he could tell but he could see she was nervous too as she was looking at the floor

Max: if you have a question you know you can just ask right?

Alexis: oh, huh right right, the guys, Ashley and I were thinking of going out tonight to welcome the new trainees and also to cheer up Pamela a little bit

Max nodded to that last part he was informed that even if what happened to Pam was just a heat stroke she needed to skip in ring action for a couple of days to make sure she is a 100% without any set backs and he could have guessed that that hit Pam pretty hard in her moral first day with the coaching of two well established WWE superstars and she faints, to her that wasn't a good first impression

Max: that sounds nice and is very thoughtful of all of you

Alexis: yeah, but we also thought that maybe you could come with us too, you know to maybe cheer her up even more and also have a little bit of fun before going back to wrestle in the main roster

Max started to think about it and yes it would be nice to go, finally something else to do apart from sulking around on his house watching movies, old wrestling and playing videogames or just talking through the phone with family and friends and it would be a good to help cheer up Pam and who better than someone that could reassure her that everything was okay with what happened

Max: Yeah I think it would be nice maybe I can even get Natalie and TJ to come if they don't have anything planned for tonight

Alexis: and coach Shawn?

Max: nah he would be shouting orders all night and get pissed that the waitress got his order wrong also it would be past his bedtime

Alexis tries to not laugh at the slender of her head coach as she learned better two days ago when she almost got in trouble because of it and Max just grins at the obvious laugh Alexis was holding back while he just makes a funny face to make her lose it but he cuts it short to give her a definitive answer

Max: yes it sounds nice count me in

Alexis looked it to him excitedly and Hugs Max which catches him off guard a little bit, Alexis notices this and quickly breaks the hug up

Alexis: sorry a little bit too excited for this that is all

Max: it's okay don't worry about it Alexis where and when is the outing

Alexis: oh the basement you know the bar down E pine street and all of us should be there by 9 PM

Max: okay sounds great I will see you all there by that hour, you know what give me your phone number so you can tell me when you are all going to the bar so I don't get there while no one is there yet

Alexis: oh okay

She gives him her phone number and sees that he saves her under the name Alexis which she cringes a little bit for

Max: And done, you tell me when you are about to head out to the bar and I will be doing the same, let's go the rest are surely waiting for us

Alexis: okay and coach?

Max: yes?

Alexis: please just call me Lexi, when anyone says Alexis it sounds like I am getting reprimanded by my parents

Max: well with one condition

Lexi: oh and what would that be?

Max: that you and the rest just call me Max I don't know why coach makes me feel old and retired just like Shawn

He makes a face of disgust which makes Lexi laugh, she was relieved she didn't think he would be down with coming to the bar with them so she was excited about getting to hang out with a person like him and maybe even become friends with him which she thought was cool

Lexi: "this is going to be great I know it"

She told herself while going back to the ring area to train before what she knew was going to be a fun night
