The culmination of the WWE Championship match

And now..... presented by Mattel and by Burger King.... WWE welcomes you to FASTLANE!!!!!

The camera now shifts inside Nationwide Arena to a sold Columbus, Ohio WWE Universe

Tom Phillips: Its the final stop on the Road to WrestleMania and its appropriate we kick things into overdrive... with Corey Graves and Byron Saxton, I'm Tom Phillips and welcome to Fastlane.

Corey Graves: And guys based on the card tonight I don't think anyone is going to be disappointed with the show tonight from two matches that could change the landscape of WrestleMania for team blue to some highly anticipated championship matches, I can't wait for the first match.

Byron Saxton: I feel like a kid in a candy shop; things are certainly going to be heated tonight.

TP: And Byron, heated is the mantra in the rivalry between the Perfect 10, Tye Dillinger and the Royal Rumble Winner, the Thunderbolt of WWE Alex Thunder. And tonight guys this feud will come to an end.

CG: That's right Phillips because tonight Dillinger and Thunder meet in a No holds barred falls count anywhere match.

BS: Let's not forget the stipulation Shane McMahon implemented in this match, guys more specifically should Tye win this match, the WWE Championship Match that Thunder worked so hard for will become a Triple Threat. So for tonight's main event where it can get really ugly really quick, believe me when I say these two can't wait rip each other apart.

1 1/2 hours later....

The night had moved pretty fluidly without any error in a night which saw Charlotte, AJ and Bobby all retain their titles in main event caliber matches, the Bludgeon Brothers ensured themselves an appearance on the Grandest Stage of Them All with a dominant victory over all the tag teams for a chance to face the Usos for the tag titles and Peyton Royce had staved off her former Iconic Duo partner Billie Kay in tremendous fashion despite suffering what looked like a painful knee injury to keep her women's championship match against Charlotte Flair alive. All there was left was the main event that could easily change the landscape of the WWE Championship picture.

Main Event Time:

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Announcer: The following contest scheduled for one-fall... (Crowd: ONE-FALL!!!) is a No Holds Barred Falls Count Anywhere Match... There are no count outs and no disqualifications in this match... and should Tye Dillinger win this match, then the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania will become a triple-threat match!!!

*Tye's Entrance Music plays*

Tye comes out with his usual gear out to the mixed reaction from the WWE Universe given that his ten chant is still immensely popular with the fans but he's getting the boos given his character much needed change as a heel

Announcer: Introducing first from Niagara Falls, Canada, weighing in 225 LBS., he is the Perfect 10!, Tye Dillinger!!!

Tye gets into the ring waiting for his bitter rival's appearance so he can try to punch his ticket to WrestleMania 34.

*In Gorilla*

Trevion in his gear is finishing up his stretching when Cassie and Jessica both make their way to him. Jessica hugs him and Cassie kisses him flush on the lips

Cassie: Please tell you're going to be fine Trevion...

Trevion notices the tone in her voice and its not that of confidence but fear as he also notices she's on the verge of tears. He takes her hands into his and kisses her forehead.

Trevion: Cass, Jess, I can't make any promises that I'll totally dominate this match from start to finish or that I'll be 100 percent after its over... but one thing I will promise is that I will win this match, I'll batter and decimate that bastard and I will preserve my championship match at WrestleMania. Will I get hurt? More than likely. Will I be bloodied? Perhaps. But will I give up? Hell no I won't. No matter how much Tye beats me down, I will continue to get back up and fight.

Trevion then hugs the both of them and at that moment his entrance music plays.

Trevion: Well ladies, its time for me to raise hell tonight!

Trevion then makes his out to the arena.

Jessica: Come on lets go watch from the catering area.

Cassie and Jessica then leave for the catering where a host of team blue's superstars were gluing their eyes on the TV screens to the match that would affect the WrestleMania main event.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Trevion comes out to the roaring approval of the WWE Universe and he caps it off by doing his signature pose on the ramp, making his way down slapping the fans hands, handing one of kids ringside his signature shirt and towel, and stopping just outside the ring.

Announcer: And his opponent from St. Louis Missouri, weighing in at 217 LBS., he is the winner of the 2018 Men's Royal Rumble Match, the Thunderbolt of WWE Alex Thunder!!!

TP: Guys.... Columbus just became a High Voltage Zone here tonight!!!

Trevion then proceeds take a bunch foreign objects from under the ring ranging from steel chairs, kendo sticks, tables, even handcuffs were brought into the fold. Trevion knew if he wanted to ensure a one on one match with his former mentor AJ Styles at the Show of Shows, he'd have to bring his "A" game and his ruthless nature.

TP: Guys, Alex seems not be wasting any time in his approach here tonight.

CG: I would hope so, Tye is a guy who lives by mantra of winning any means necessary so from the out-set Alex appears to want to set the stage from the start by playing mind games and bringing the dark-side that's brought him so much fame.

BS: Let's just hope Alex Thunder has enough what it takes to win tonight.

CG: Shut up Saxton, don't doubt the Thunderbolt.

15 minutes into the match

Trevion and Ron had been going at each other hard from the outset, not letting the other gain an advantage. However as Trevion attempted middle-rope lion-sault, Ron cracked a kendo stick across the ribcage of the young man thus driving any air out of Trevion's body. The slight moment of hesitation allowed Trevion's mortal enemy to drive him into the steel ring post ribs first putting more pressure on the injured ribs on the Thunderous One.

TP: Guys ever since Tye Dillinger used the kendo stick on Alex's ribs, its been all Perfect 10 tonight...

BS: We knew something like this would happen given Alex suffered an abdomen injury against Kevin Owens last Tuesday and Tye has just been working over the injury.

CG: We wondered if Tye had been studying any weaknesses of the Thunderous One here tonight, I'd say he did his homework...

Another 15 minutes later

The match had still been wearing on and Tye continued the pressure on Alex's abdomen but this time Thunder was able to turn the tables on Dillinger as the young man chucked a steel chair at the Perfect 10, sending him crashing through 2 tables, thus buying Alex valuable time to catch a breather and assess the damage he suffered to his ribcage. Thankfully, it was nothing too serious as he knew only suffered bruised ribs. As Tye regained his faculties, Alex was right on him and delivered a hellacious beat down on the outside of the ring. Alex then turned his attention towards the announcers table and cleared everything off and after which Tye raked the eyes of Thunder and proceeded to deliver a vicious Tye-Breaker to Thunder with a prone steel chair with Alex going spine first

TP: OH MY GOD!!!! TYE-BREAKER AND THUNDER WENT SPINE FIRST ONTO THAT CHAIR

BS: MY GOD THAT WAS SICKENING IMPACT!!!!

CG: COUNT TO 100 ITS OVER...

*Backstage*

Cassie: NO!!!!! TREVION PLEASE BE ALRIGHT BABY....

Everyone had been shocked of what just transpired, hell even the egotistical Kevin Owens had turned away in pure horror

1! 2! 3-

TP: WAIT THUNDER JUST KICKED OUT GUYS!!!

CG: YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!

BS: TYE DILLINGER SHOULD BE ON HIS WAY TO NEW ORLEANS BUT THUNDER REFUSES AND FIGHTS ON!!!

Tye couldn't believe himself... the man he stole his property in his mind, a kid who he thought was nothing more than a mere cockroach, beneath someone as exquisite as him, denied his opportunity at WrestleMania.

Tye(screaming at Alex) JUST DIE ALREADY!!!! THIS IS MY NIGHT!!!! YOU DON'T DESERVE HER!!!

Tye then picked up the carcass of Thunder and placed him on the table looking to end it all here.

CG: Tye staring at the WrestleMania sign looking perhaps for the death blow...

Just as Tye was looking for another Tye-Breaker, Alex began to regain his base again and delivered a monstrous superkick and finished it off with an RKO Out of Nowhere that he called the Hail-Storm.

TP: RKO OUTTA NOWHERE!!!!!!

CG: MY GOD HOW IN THE WORLD DID THUNDER MUSTER UP THE STRENGTH TO NAIL THAT?!?!

BS: BUT CAN HE CAPITALIZE ON IT????

Thunder then picks the limp body of Dillinger back up and then locks in a chicken wing crossface.

CG: OH MAN THE BUZZKILLER!!!! TYE, JUST TAP OUT!!!

Tye, having no energy to weasel out of it tapped out, thus solidifying the main event at WrestleMania.

Announcer: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AS A RESULT OF SUBMISSION, ALEX THUNDER!!!!!!

The crowd went into hysterics as the King of Chaos got up from his latest war, hand on his injured ribs.

BS: THUNDER HAS DONE IT... HE'S SOLIDIFIED HIS CHAMPIONSHIP AT WRESTLEMANIA 34 AS A ONE ON ONE ENCOUNTER.

CG: THROUGH HELL, FIRE, BRIMSTONE AND BACK ALEX THUNDER HAS PROVEN WHY HE IS INDEED THE FUTURE OF THIS BUSINESS!!

As Trevion continued his celebration, Phenomenal blared throughout the arena as WWE Champion AJ Styles made his way to the ring to confront his former student. AJ offered his hand and Trevion shook his hand, then AJ held the Championship and pointed to the WrestleMania sign. AJ then exited the ring as Trevion continued mixing it up and mingling with the fans as Fastlane went off the air on the WWE Network.

25 minutes later...

Trevion had just exited the trainers' room with tape around his torso and stitches from where his bicep had been busted completely open. He was in his street clothes with his bags as he made to his car with Cassie and Jessica right there waiting for him.

Cassie: SWEETHEART!!!!

Cassie then envelops him in a bone crushing hug and then slaps him on the head

Cassie: THANK GOD YOU'RE ALRIGHT... YOU IDIOT DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!

Cassie then starts to cry softly into his chest and Trevion kisses her hair, then her forehead and finally her lips which tasted like watermelon.

Trevion: I'm sorry Baby Girl... I guess old habits tend to die hard but I'll make it up to you... name your price.

Cassie flashes him a seductive grin which Trevion quickly picks up on.

Trevion: OK you got yourself a deal.... Lets get outta here.

And with that the two lovebirds and their mutual best friend departed for the hotel in the next town over that would be hosting the following SmackDown Live.

END OF CHAPTER TEN!!!!!!!!!!!

On a more serious note, I just want to send my heaviest condolences and prayers to the families, friends, loved ones and victims who were affected in the high school tragedy down in Parkland, Florida where 17 innocent lives were taken away way before their time on this Earth was finished and where countless others are affected in this senseless notion of violence... I hope a miracle happens soon where so no more families have to go through what these brave people have to endure.... Once again prayers up to everyone in Parkland Florida this past Wednesday 💯💯🤦🏾‍♂️👏🏾👏🏾
