48 hours was removed from TLC, and it was time for SmackDown. Cardo was booked to hold a promo for his victory, and the same thing goes for Becky as well. The United States Champion and SmackDown Women's Champion drove to the arena hand in hand. They got out of the car and grabbed their bags.

Becky: since we're both champs, let's take a picture with our titles

Cardo: you read my mind, babe

Cardo got the championships out while Becky got her phone out with the camera ready.

Cardo: here's your title, champ

Becky: alright, squeeze in

Becky took pictures of both of them holding their championships, and Cardo stole the opportunity to plant a kiss on Becky's cheek.

Becky: you sneaky goose

Cardo: can't help it, I love you so much

Becky: I love you too

They made out only to be interrupted by Alex, AJ, Lexi and Charlotte

Alex: get a room, you two!

Cardo: that reminds me, Becky and I are sharing a locker room

Lexi: you guys are goals like Alex and I

Cardo: right, come on Becky, let's go to our locker room

AJ: oh Cardo, just to let you know, Isabel is here again

Cardo: damn it, that's the one name I swore I never hear after TLC

Charlotte: Lexi told me everything, if she tries something, we'll make sure she doesn't get near you again

Becky: I want Isabel to feel the wrath of The Man

Cardo: I don't you to lose your job, babe

Becky: aww, you always think about me

AJ: alright alright, leave it in you two's locker room

Becky: I'm gonna go get my stuff from my locker room, babe

Cardo: okay, I'll wait for you in our locker room

Becky walked to her locker room to fetch her stuff, but she was greeted by a familiar voice.

???: hey Becky!

Becky smiled and turned around, it was Sami.

Becky: Sami, what are you doing here?

Sami: well, let's just say that I signed a new contract

Becky: you're on SmackDown?

Sami: yep!

Becky: come here you!

Becky pulled Sami in for a tight hug. They pulled back.

Becky: what made you move to SmackDown?

Sami: well I'm tired of being vertical suplexed by Lashley

Becky: so how is your love life going?

Sami: Becky, it's hard to say this, but I'm in love...with you

Becky was speechless of what Sami, her best friend said

Becky: Sami I-I don't know how to react to this

Becky tried her best of telling Sami that Cardo is her boyfriend without hurting him.

Becky: why me?

Sami: you said you wanted the old Sami back, the good Sami and I knew you loved that good side of me and I told Kevin about it and he said go for it

Becky: Sami listen-

Sami: I know we've been best friends since our independent years, but over the course of those years, I developed feelings for you

Becky: why you waited so long to tell me?

Sami: I didn't want to ruin our friendship, and I was afraid you don't feel the same way

Becky: Sami, if you had tell me this before, I would've accepted your feelings, but unfortunately I'm already taken

Sami: you have a boyfriend now?!

Becky: that's what I was gonna tell you. Yes, I have a boyfriend

Sami: who is it?!

Becky: it's Cardo

Sami: him?! What do you see in that guy?!

Becky: wait what's with the tone of your voice?

Sami: answer the question!

Becky: Cardo admitted his feelings to me, and I developed feelings for him when he debut, and now he's the United States Champion

Sami: well I just have to prove my love to you by taking your boyfriend's championship

Becky: Sami, don't be like that!

Sami: tonight, when your boyfriend holds an open challenge, I'll be damn sure that I'm gonna answer it!

Becky tried to calm Sami down, but the ginger Canadian angrily stomped down the hallway.

(In Cardo's locker room)

Cardo was in his locker room in his attire as he was booked to hold an open challenge for his title. As he was stretching, an uninvited guest entered his locker room.

Isabel: hi babe!

Cardo: Isabel, one I'm not your babe and two you're trespassing in my locker room

Isabel: come on, don't be like that to your girlfriend

Cardo: are you deaf? Becky is my girlfriend

Isabel: what does she have that I don't?

Cardo: well she doesn't pester me and stalk me

Isabel: whatever, my heart still belongs to you, babe

Cardo: can you leave?!

Isabel: only of you kiss me

At the catering area Alex, AJ, Lexi and Charlotte heard the commotion and instantly recognized the annoying voice.

Alex: oh no

AJ: not her again

Lexi: let's get her out before Becky comes

Charlotte: too late guys!

The four saw Becky walking towards Cardo's locker room. Lexi and Charlotte distracted her while Alex and AJ attempts to bail Cardo out.

Lexi: guys go!

Alex and AJ sprinted to Cardo's locker room and saw Isabel.

Alex: what the hell you're doing to my cousin, Isabel?

Isabel: stealing a kiss, what's it to you?

AJ: didn't you hear what Cardo said, Becky is his girlfriend

Alex: come on, let's go before this gets ugly

As the two tried to make Isabel leave, Becky was at the door.

Becky: what the hell you're doing in my locker room?

Isabel: your locker room?

Cardo: that's right Isabel, Becky and I are sharing

Becky: now get out of here before I give you some lasskicking

Isabel: this isn't over, Cardo. You'll be mine!

Isabel got out of Alex and AJ's grip and she scurried away.

AJ: we'll leave you two alone now

AJ and the others left, leaving the champion couple to themselves.

Becky: what's your plan for tonight, babe?

Cardo: well I'm gonna do a promo and proposed an open challenge for my title. How about you?

Becky: The Man is just gonna talk, that's all

Production: Cardo, we need you

Cardo: I gotta go babe

Becky: good luck

They gave each other a kiss before Cardo left. As he left the room, Becky thought to herself.

Becky: I love him so much

(In the ring)

Cardo was in the ring breathing in the cheering crowd.

Crowd: you deserve it! You deserve it!

Cardo: salamat guys. This is my first title I won here during my time in WWE

The crowd cheered.

Cardo: now I have to tell the truth, Shinsuke Nakamura is a tough opponent, and I never faced someone like him. Now, onto my United States title; John Cena is a WWE legend, and I respect him, and to pay homage to him, I'm gonna revive his US title open challenge!

The crowd cheered louder.

Cardo: so anyone back there wants a shot, I'm here and I'm ready

Cardo waited for his next challenger, and after one minute of silence, a theme played and the crowd went ballistic. The US title open challenge was answered by the man Cardo recently met, Becky's best friend Sami Zayn. Cardo and Sami stared daggers at each other as the Canadian got in the ring.

Mauro: you can feel the intensity between Sami Zayn and Cardo Auditore as this match gets underway.

The bell rang and instantly the two were trading punches with each other. (A/N: they trade punches like the GIF below.)

Cardo didn't realize that Sami is angry that he took Becky away from him. As Sami had Cardo where he wants him for the Helluva Kick, Cardo countered with a vicious superkick and immediately locked in the Probinsyano Escape as Sami instantly tapped out.

Announcer: here is your winner and still United States Champion, Cardo Auditore!

Before Cardo could even celebrate, Sami ambushed him from behind and stomped boots into Ang Probinsyano.

Mauro: I don't know what's Sami's problem, but I guess it's not that he lost the match, he wants to beat the hell out of Cardo!

As Sami stomped boots to Cardo; Alex, AJ and Becky ran down to the ring to separate the two.

Mauro: here comes Cardo's cousin Alex Auditore and Cardo's mentor AJ Styles as they pulled Zayn back while Becky Lynch checks on her boyfriend.

Becky helped Cardo to his feet as she angrily mouthed to Sami.

Becky: what the hell is wrong with you, Sami?!

Sami rolled out of the ring with a mischievous grin on his face.

(At Cardo and Becky's locker room)

Cardo: what's Sami's problem with me?

Becky looked at her boyfriend with a guilty look on her face and Cardo noticed this.

Cardo: is there something you want to tell me, Becky?

Becky: well...

Cardo: don't worry, I'm listening

Becky: well I ran into Sami before your match, and he told me he had feelings for me

Cardo: what?

Becky: this is when we're still wrestling in the independent scenes

Cardo: why he didn't tell you?

Becky: he was afraid that he'll break our friendship, but I would've said yes to him until you came to my life

Cardo kissed Becky's forehead.

Cardo: Sami should understand that you're mine now, and I knew he was angry at me when he made his entrance.

Becky: babe, I'm sure that this won't be the last time we see Sami

Cardo: or Isabel

Becky: come on, let's go and make out

Cardo: can't argue with The Man

As the two left their locker room, they didn't know Sami was watching them.

Sami: you'll be mine, Becky

Then, a woman approached Sami.

???: you want Becky to love you?

Sami: yes, who are you?

???: before I tell you who I am, I want to say that I pursued Cardo for a long time, but now he's taken by her.

Sami: you loved Cardo, but he didn't feel the same way?

???: no matter how many times he rejected me, I still want him to be mine

Sami: okay, you're crazy in the head

???: if you want Becky to be yours, let's work together

Sami: fine, just tell me your name

???: my name is Isabel

Sami: so what's your plan?

Isabel: leave it to me. I'll call you

Sami: okay, here's my number

As the two went their separate ways to conduct their plan; what they don't know is that Alex, AJ, Charlotte and Lexi heard everything.

Alex: should we tell Cardo and Becky?

AJ: no, let their plan go first. Then we'll mess it up

Lexi: no one breaks my bestie's heart

Charlotte: their plan will soon blow up in their faces

The four left the arena and drove back to the hotel and communicated with each other to conduct a plan to stop Sami and Isabel.
