Jaelyn

Fergal's in the ring with Grimes. I am at ringside this time to make sure no one interferes. Grimes digs his shoulder into Balor. Grimes backs away as Balor goes on the attack. "Want to talk about my wife?" Balor asked.

He does the snapmare to Grimes, kicking him in the back. Grimes groans in pain, covers him. Grimes kicks out at one and Balor puts him in a headlock. I walked over to stare at Grimes. "Give up, Grimes!" I said.

Grimes tries to get out of it. Balor pulls him back. "This is for you, babe," Balor said to me. Grimes slowly gets up, grabbing Balor's face, pushing him back into the corner on my left. "Break the hold, Finn," Ref Drake said.

Balor breaks the hold as Grimes does a chest chop to Balor but it doesn't faze him. Balor gives Grimes a chest chop in return. Grimes grabs his check, going across the ring catty corner. Balor gives him another chop.

Grimes walks across the ring to the other post. Balor whips Grimes catty corner to the post, giving him a third chest chop. Balor whips him catty corner, giving him a fourth one then whips him again and giving a fifth chop, knocking Grimes off his feet.

I cheer Balor on, Grimes whimpers in pain. I mock Grimes' pain as Balor paces. Then kicked him but got caught. Grimes gets up, lifting Balor and planting him down. I covered my mouth. Grimes does a sliding knee strike.

Balor groans in pain. Grimes stomps on the back of Balor's neck. Grimes grabs Balor by his beard, giving his own chest chop. Then stomps on his hands. Balor pulls away from him. Grimes points at me.

"Hey, Jae Bella, this is a real man!" Grimes said. I hopped on the ring apron. Ref Drake telling me to get down. Grimes whips Balor as Balor reverses the Irish Whip into the ropes. Balor ducks as Grimes leaps over Balor, doing a sunset flip, Balor rolls through and does a drop kick to Grimes face.

Balor got up and I clapped. Balor goes back to Grimes as Grimes rolls out of the ring, trying to get away. I rushed over towards Grimes. He moves to the left and stops as he sees me. (Beth: Jae Bella standing in front of Grimes.)

"What are you gonna do, bitch?" Grimes said. The NXT trainees booed Grimes for calling me a bitch. I pointed at Grimes to turn around. Grimes turns around and Balor does a chest chop. Grimes groans, getting down on his knee.

Balor grabs him by the hair, getting him up and doing another chest chop. I backed up as Balor drives him into the barricade towards his left. Grimes falls down, Balor grabs him by the hair, throwing him back in the ring.

Ref Drake's at seven. Balor gets back in the ring and Grimes bounces off the ropes and does a clothesline to Balor. I looked away. Grimes covers Balor but Balor kicks out at two. I sighed in relief as Grimes got him in the chin lock, grinding his fist into Balor's head.

Balor tries to escape from it. Grimes still has a grip locked up. Balor got both of his feet, elbowing Grimes in the guts. Balor throws hard rights into Grimes, two times. Grimes whips him into the post.

Balor bounces out of the corner. I looked away and sighed. As we get to commercial break. Minutes later, Grimes was still in control of the match. Grimes got Balor's left arm pulled back and held his chin.

Balor tries to get out of it whilst I slap my hands on the ring apron to get the NXT trainees roudy up Balor. Balor gets up and starts throwing straight rights to Grimes, three times, Grimes whips him into the ropes.

Grimes does a knee strike to Balor's ribs. I rushed over to check on Fergal. "Don't give up," I whispered. "Grimes would be scared of you? You are mistaken!" he said. Grimes charges at Balor but Balor kicks him away.

Grimes attempts again as Balor does a flying forearm to Grimes, taking him down. Balor got up and growled. Grimes gets up as Balor does a double leg take down and does the double stomp to his chest and throat.

Balor hops off him, walking over to the corner, looking at the crowd. Then turns around as Grimes gets up, doing the slingblade to Grimes. "There you go!" I said. Balor backs into the corner and points at Grimes as he gets up.

Balor does the John Woo dropkick Grimes in the corner. Grimes lands on the bottom turnbuckle. Balor walked over to the corner, going between the ropes. Balor climbs up to the top turnbuckle.

Balor does the Coup de Grace as Grimes rolls out of the way, Balor grabs his right knee as Grimes charges at him with an Oklahoma roll. (Mauro: Oklahoma Roll from the North Carolinian.)

Balor kicks out at two. Grimes does his own forearm to Balor. Balor gets up as Grimes kicks him in his left ear. Balor gets stunned as Grimes attempts a German, Balor reverses it into the 1916 DDT but Grimes counters with a small package pin.

Balor kicks out of it, Grimes attempts a closeline, Balor ducks, pulling him under his arm. Balor growls as he drives his elbow into Grimes' chest. (Mauro: Driving Grimes into the canvas.) Balor catches his breath.

He gets up, getting Grimes in position but Grimes counters by putting Balor over his shoulder, doing a side press. He covers Balor.

I attempt to get in the ring as Balor kicks out at two. I sighed in relief as I got out of the ring.

I turn around as Grimes grabs me by the hair. I screamed as he pulled me in the ring. "GET HIM OFF ME!" I yelled. "This will be your fault," he said, shoving me into the corner.

Fergal

I looked over at what Grimes did to Jae. It triggered me. He charges at me, attempting a Cave in but I threw him over me. He bounces off the ropes. I grabbed him by the hair, doing the Inverted 1916 to him.

I covered him but he kicks out at two. I got up slowly and I went to check on Jaelyn. "You okay?" I asked. She nodded. "Finish him," she whispers. I get out of the ring, climbing up and did the Coup de Grace to his chest.

I get him up again and I lifted him up, planting Grimes on the back of his head. I covered Grimes for the win. I was on my knee. (Alicia: Here is your winner, Finn Balor) I see Jaelyn crawling over to me. "Babe, you okay?" I asked her. Jaelyn nodded.

I got up, holding Jae close to me as the ref lifted my arm up. Grimes rolls over towards the ropes. Jae kicks him out of the ring. "Don't you ever touch her!" I said to Grimes. They showed the replays.

I looked at the camera with Jae. "I've won a lot of titles. But the North American Championship, never. Keith Lee, whenever you are done playing house, come see me," I said. "This is our house!" Jae said.

Later that night, Jaelyn and I are home. The kids are sleeping. I was gonna go to Veronica's but I decided not to go over. "Are you going over to Veronica's?" Jaelyn asked. "Not tonight. I want to rest for the night. I had a long night," I said.

"You went to hell and back tonight," she said. I sat next to her on the couch, laying my head on her lap. "I did," I said, smiling. Jaelyn nodded as she played with my hair. "Did you wash your hair?" she asked.

"Yes I did. Kind of which you joined me," I said, laughing. Jaelyn shook her head. "You jackass," she said, smiling. I chucked. "You know when I'm joking," I said. "Well, I've been with you for 6 years," she said.

I laughed and smiled. "Where did the time go?" I asked. "I don't know. It went too fast," she said, rubbing my temples. I sighed in relief. "Feel better," she whispered. I nodded, sitting up, Jaelyn and I continued to talk for the night.

Next morning, I woke up on the couch, rubbing my eyes. I looked down and I see Jaelyn laying on top of me. I smiled softly, as I looked at the clock. I sat up as she holds on to me. I gently held her, lifting her up. 

I carried Jaelyn upstairs to the bedroom. I laid her down on the bed, covering her up. Jaelyn moaned softly. I kissed her head. Jaelyn turned over and grabbed a pillow, cuddling with it. I left the room, shutting the door.

One Week Later

Jaelyn

It's been a week since Fergal got revenge on Grimes as I did as well. We are guerilla area, we are watching Johnny Gargano talking about how him and Candice being the first married couple NXT Champion and Women's Champion.

"Not if we do it first," I said. "Facts," Fergal said. Keith Lee and Johnny were arguing about the mixed tag match last week. "Play my theme," Fergal said. His theme plays as we walked out with mics.

(Tom: Hold on look at this! It's the Prince and his Bella) (Beth: Want to talk about a power couple, Johnny? The Bonnie and Clyde of NXT.)

The music stops talking. "Well well, since Jae Bella and I are here, the true power couple of NXT.. And you fellas can stop being marks for yourselves and go back to being marks for us. Keith, I'm not sure if you heard from me last week, we are gonna tell you again..," Balor paused.

I walked up the stairs first. "I've held titles all over the world, but the North American Championship is a title that I never won," Balor said. "First of all, my name is Johnny, not Mark. You two are not a power couple. May I remind you, were you a triple crown champion like me? Because I don't think so buddy," he said.

I stood infront of Johnny to prevent him from getting near Finn. "Johnny, I'm nothing like you. I cut right to the front," Balor said, walking past Johnny. I do the hand gesture to make him walk away.

Balor stood face to face with Lee. "Big Man, this isn't a challenge. This is a warning. I'm gonna take that title and when I do..," Balor paused as he walked over to Adam Cole. "...I'm coming right for you. Adam, you've been a great little transitional champion," Balor said.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait. Transitional Champion? Are you kidding me? I am the one that beat your old record. But this is perfect. This is your career kind of in a nutshell. You show up somewhere. You were the king for a little while, then I show up and I pass you by," Cole said.

I started laughing as Balor marked a target on Cole. "What was that? What are you doing?" Cole said. "That's exactly where I'm gonna punch you," Balor said. "Is that so?" Cole said. Regal pops on the screen.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen. I love all of this. The passion, the competition and you giving me an idea where everybody wins. Next week, Keith Lee, you will defend your North American Championship against Johnny Gargano..," Regal paused.

"Yes," Johnny said. ".. and Finn Balor in a triple threat match. And I haven't forgotten about you Adam because whomever walks out as North American Champion will face you, Adam Cole on July the eighth. Champion vs Champion, Winner Takes All," Regal said as the screen goes back to NXT Logo.

Adam drops the mic and leaves the ring as Keith Lee's theme plays. Johnny and Keith are talking trash as Balor and I stood in the ring, looking at the title. Balor whispers in my ear. "When I win both Championships, they are yours as well."
