So far, Michael's relationship with Saraya grew even more as they go around every city they're in, going to Karaoke Bar (obviously Michael didn't drink alcohol), and even spent time with friends.

In WWE, the situation with Roman Reigns and the Authority was reaching the boiling point as Vince McMahon decides that Roman will defend his title in the Royal Rumble Match.

Michael was not pleased to have his grandfather around the company, but he didn't say anything, though made faces when Vince didn't see him. Even Vince tells Triple H and Stephanie they need to control their son, but that didn't work as they knew Michael is a grown man so he can do whatever he wants, no matter how childish he can be.

Michael and Paige continue to get a lot of support from the fans, the Superstars, and employees. Soon, Michael got the chance to enter the Royal Rumble Match. You can imagine Stephanie's and Paige's reaction when he managed to be able to compete.

And now it's time for the Royal Rumble.
