February 1

*backstage*

Michael is seen walking down the halls, with his headphones on, jamming to a song that is playing. Even dancing a bit before seeing stopping as he sees someone walking up to him. It was Alex Ambrose. Michael looks at him, then places his headphones down to his next.

Michael: May I help you?

Alex: Well, first off, you dancing there was really annoying for me to see.

Michael: Not what the fangirls say.

Alex: I don't care what-

Michael: You should, because they put a lot of stuff on Twitter that it should not to be said or...think.

Alex: I see. Anyway, I know for a fact to you're going to go after your old man's title, and let me tell you, Mike, you won't be going near it, as I intend on Main Eventing Wrestlemania and beat the living hell out of Triple H, and make you and everyone in the back look stupid.

Michael: I mean, my family has already been looked stupid, so that's nothing new, Alex. And I get that you and others may think that I'm going to go win Fastlane and then face my father, but to be frank, I don't intend on doing that nor do I care about what they say. I don't deserve it, and so if I lose at Fastlane, then fine by me, I could go for the US Title or the Intercontinental Title, Hell even the Tag Team Titles. The list goes on, my guy. So don't go up to my face saying something about that.

Alex: Oh really? What are you going to do, Princess?

Mike: What, you and your Ed Sheeran-looking ass think you can beat me up?

Alex: I don't think. I know damn well I can.

Michael: Just don't look for your daddy, Dean, to assist you.

They both began arguing before Triple H comes into view.

Triple H: Boys, calm down.

Mike: *completely forgets Alex* Oh hey, Dad.

Triple H: Son. Now, I can tell, and heard, that you two don't like each other. However, I can tell you two agree on one thing. You don't give a damn about what the others in the back say, and I want you too to show them that you're not young punks. You are young, ass-kicking machines. So, with that being said, I'm going to make a match. With Alex Ambrose and Michael McMahon Vs Erick Rowan and Luke Harper.

Alex: With him? Hell no.

Michael: No way, dad. I won't be teaming up with this psycho. I rather sit on a bucket full of barbed wire before teaming up with him.

Alex: *smirk* I'll get the bucket and barbed wire if you promise to do it.

Michael: You motherfu-

Triple H: Michael. Language. *gets an eye roll from his son* I know who rebellious you two can be, but you're having this match. And that's final. Besides, I know you can handle it. So good luck, boys.

He leaves as the two groan before glaring at each other.

Michael: Team or not, don't get in my way.

Alex: Then you better stay away from mine.

They walk away.

Soon, Ambrose comes out, looking very confident, as the crowd gives out mixed reactions as he smirks at the Wyatts from the stage. He knows they haven't forgotten being humiliated last week on Smackdown but he doesn't care.

Alex just shook his head as Michael hops over the ropes, stands a few feet away from Alex, staring at Luke and Eric. Michael takes off his jacket and sets it outside the ring, as his theme fades, before looking at Alex.

Michael: Got an eye problem, Anarchist?

Alex: Shut up and get on the apron. I'm starting the match.

Michael: Last time I checked, hell didn't freeze over today.

The bell rings as the two continue arguing for who should go first, even ignoring the referee. Soon, Harper and Rowan charge after them, only for them to be knocked down by Alex's and Mike's Superkick.

Michael: You said it, not me. Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk.

Alex: Real mature, Mike.

Michael and Alex got up and pose for the crowd as Alex sends Rowan back inside. Michael was about to go to his corner, only to see Braun running towards him. Panicked, he runs off, with Strowman chasing him around the ring.

The crowd and the commentators laugh as Strowman tries his best to catch up to Michael, with Mike trying his best to stay away from him. It's basically Tom And Jerry outside the ring.

*later, offscreen*

Michael, Alex, and Saraya are seen walking with each other, talking about their match.

Saraya: You two have surprisingly great chemistry in the ring.

Michael: True. It kinda surprised us as well.

Alex: I barely had any tag team matches, and that one takes the cake for best tag matches I've had.

Saraya: Indeed. Also, everyone laughed their asses off at you two arguing and Mike running away from Strowman.

Saraya and Alex laughed, while Michael stands there, blushing in embarrassment. Saraya just kisses him on the cheek as they continue walking, until Rebecca passes by them, as they waved at her. Alex didn't. He kept staring at her while Michael and Saraya look at him in confusion.

Alex: *turns to them, realizing they're looking at him* What?

Michael: You have your eyes set on Becca, don't you?

Alex: *splutters* W-what? No, I do-

Michael: You don't have to lie, man.

Saraya: We know you have a crush on her. You've been seeing each other lately.

Alex: I...Well, it's just that I want to be friendly to Becca. Not anything else.

Michael: We understand. If you need any help in getting her to talk to you, you know who to find. Besides...

Both: You two look cute together.

Alex blushes as Michael and Saraya laugh before they went to their separate ways.
