Wednesday:

After a house show in Baton Rouge in which Cassie/Peyton Royce had defeated Jessica/Billie Kay and the team of Shinsuke Nakamura and Alex Thunder defeated Kevin Owens and Jinder Mahal.

Trevion is currently taking his wrist tape, gloves and sleeve off and at that moment his best friend Jessica approaches him.

Jessica: Hey bestie!!!

Trevion: Hmm? Oh hey Jess, great match out there!! So, what's up?

Jessica: Nothing much I'm just looking for Cassie, have you seen her anywhere?

Trevion: Yeah I just got through talking to her but it wasn't much... she just kissed me and went to the women's locker room. She seemed a tad upset to me but she wouldn't tell me what was messing with her. Maybe you could talk to her and see what's bugging her because if it anybody knows Cass as well as I do, it's you.

Jessica: Ok thanks, I'll go check on her.

Trevion: I'm coming with you... that's my girl and I must know what's messing with her.

With that Jessica and Trevion departed to find his girlfriend and their common best friend.

Finally they had reached the women's locker room and Leah aka Carmella was the one who opened the door.

Leah: Oh, hey Trevion and Jessica... what's up you guys?

Trevion: Hey Leah, sorry to disturb you but we were just hoping that Cassie was in here.

Leah: Uh yeah she's here let me grab her for you two.

Within thirty seconds, Leah had returned with Cassie in tow and she appeared to have been crying given she had puffy eyes.

Leah: Here you go... (Turns to Trevion) Hopefully you can figure out what's wrong, the girls and I had no such luck at all.

Trevion: Thanks Leah, I owe you big time.

Leah(Smiling): The only thing you owe me is getting her to feel better... She's one of my closest friends too you know.

Trevion and Jessica now turn to the visibly upset Cassie

Jessica: Ok Cassie, what's wrong??

Trevion: Come on baby girl, what's messing with you? You're usually a ball of energy, but at this point I don't even recognize you.

Cassie looks up at her boyfriend, then at her day one and finally after composing herself, she speaks up.

Cassie: I just miss home is all.

Jessica: That's all? Why didn't you say anything???

Cassie: I've just been swamped with our on-screen rivalry, Trevion and I dealing with Ron's stalking and everything in between... It's just been bugging me that I haven't seen my mum, dad or my nephews for the past 5 months...

Trevion and Jessica share a snicker and Cassie looks at them confused

Cassie: You think this is funny?

Trevion then takes out four tickets from his backpack for an American Airlines round fare trip to Jessica and Cassie's hometown of Sydney, Australia and hands them to Cassie. Cassie is absolutely shocked.

Cassie(still shocked): 4 tickets to... SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA?!?!? Trevion, you didn't...

Trevion: Actually, I asked Shane what Australia is really like so he told me take a trip and see what your guys native land is really like... So he and I decided to take our amazing girlfriends back home to the "Land down Under"!!!

Suddenly Cassie jumps into her significant others arms and places passionate kisses all over his face.

Cassie: You're seriously the best boyfriend a girl could ever ask for!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I seriously don't know what I did to be blessed with you!!! This is the greatest 8 month anniversary present ever!!!

Trevion: You don't have to question anything Cassie... It is I who should be wondering how he got blessed with the most amazing girlfriend in this lifetime...

Cassie then gives him one more peck on the lips and just holds him in a loving embrace until Jessica breaks it up.

Jessica: Okay you lovebirds, break it up our flight leaves at 9 am so we should probably leave now...

Trevion: Ok, spoilsport... Come on babe, lets get home and start packing.

Cassie(whispering in his ear): I'm gonna show you why they really call Australia the "Land Down Under"...

Trevion: My god you're a sex demon.......

Cassie: That I am... but I'm your sex demon..

Trevion: True that....

6 hours later...

After packing multiple bags for the week long trip they'd be taking for Sydney... Cassie and Trevion headed for the airport where an awaiting Jessica and Shane Thorne had been and they'd boarded the flight... little did the three know that Trevion had booked them for first class. After a near 21-hour flight the two couples had finally reached Jessica and Cassie's birthplace of Sydney. First on Tre's itinerary was a tour of the most famous places in one of chief cities of Australia from the Sydney Harbour Bridge, to the world-famous Sydney Opera House and everything in-between. Of course, Shane and Trevion didn't mind the fact their girlfriends were playing tour guides but that wasn't the best part of the trip. Cassie and Jessica decided to take a trip to Cassie's childhood home where both girls families were awaiting the two couples. Jessica caught up with her family, introduced them to the new man in her life who of course was Shane. But Cassie's family was still in the house so after mixing up with Jess's family, Cassie walked into the house with Trevion hand-in-hand and that's when they mobbed them.

Cassie(ecstatically): Mum!! Daddy!!

Cassie's mother: Hi, Sweetheart!!

Cassie's father: Hey, Baby Girl.

Cassie's sister: Hey, baby sister.

Cassie's parents then notice her boyfriend whose still holding her hand. Then, Cassie's sister and brother-in-law approach him.

Cassie's sister: So baby sister, are you going to introduce us to your handsome friend?

Cassie: Uh, mum, dad, guys this is my boyfriend, Trevion but everyone calls him Tre or his ring name Alex Thunder. Babe, this is my mum, Janet, my dad, Oliver and my older sister Lauren and her husband Derek.

Trevion: It's a pleasure to meet all of you, let me just say Cassie is an amazing person and she's really made my life for the better.

Oliver: Oh, please no need to be shy or anything, we don't bite, so long as you're treating my daughter the way she deserves to treated we'll get along just fine. She deserved better than that cheeky bastard she was with the last time. I'm glad to see she's finally getting the happiness she deserves.

Janet: So Trevion, why don't tell us about yourself?

Trevion: Sure, I'm 23 so Cassie is only two years older than me, like her, I come from a big family as well, I have a older and younger brother and a baby sister, I grew up in Chesterfield, Missouri and I actually have a niece thanks to my younger brother. I used to play football and basketball and I used to actually be a star quarterback at the University of Arizona before I tore my ACL and I retired from the game and I decided to become a professional wrestler and poof 5 years later, here I am in WWE and with the most amazing woman by my side these past 7 months.

Oliver: Wow, so you've been an athlete your entire life?

Trevion: Guilty as charged Mr. McIntosh

Oliver: Please we're past the formalities just call me Oliver.

Trevion: Noted Oliver.

Just then, a blonde-haired kid showed up out of almost nowhere and tackled Cassie to the floor.

Kid: AUNTIE CASSIE!!!!

Cassie: Hey there Joey!!! How's my favorite nephew doing?

Joey: Better now that my favorite aunt is here. (Looks up at Trevion) Is that Alex Thunder?!?!

Trevion: The one and only, Joey! You okay there baby girl??

Cassie: I'm fine, I've been hit worse by Asuka.

They all share a laugh before Trevion helps his girlfriend up

Joey: Can you sign this shirt for me Alex??

Trevion notices him holding a High Voltage Zone t-shirt before Cassie whispers in his ear

Cassie: He's your biggest fan.

Trevion: I gathered as much. Anyone got a permanent marker??

Lauren hands him a sharpie marker and proceeds to sign Joey's shirt.

Trevion: There ya go little Joey!!

Joey: Awesome, everyone at school is going to be so jealous!!!

Cassie: And with good reason...

Joey and the others look up Cassie, Trevion, Jessica and Shane who've joined their fellow WWE couple.

Trevion: The real reason we came here is because not only did I want meet my girlfriend's amazing family and experience the atmosphere that Australia has which is lovely by the way... many of you know that Cassie and I won our respective Royal Rumble matches... you know what, Cassie and Jessica you got the goods?

Cassie and Jessica rummage through their bags until they find two bulked up envelopes and hand them to their respective family members and the reaction from Joey and the others was priceless.

Joey: Tickets to... WrestleMania 34?!?!

Oliver: To the Hall of Fame ceremony??

Lauren: And WrestleMania Axxess???

Trevion: Yep we're formally inviting the McIntosh's and McKay's to WrestleMania weekend.

Cassie: But Trevion, what about your family?

Trevion: Don't worry, my mother and her wife told me the fam has gotten their stuff, they'll be there.

Janet: Tell me this is a dream... we're actually going to see our baby at WrestleMania?

Cassie: I assure you mum, this isn't a dream, this is real life!!

Janet then gets up and hugs Cassie, Trevion, Shane and Jessica.

Janet: Thank you so much you four and Trevion.... I just want to say welcome to the family. I do hear wedding bells soon..

Trevion is flabbergasted while Cassie turns beet red in embarrassment.

Cassie: MUM!!!!

Janet: I'm just messing with you two lovebirds...

Trevion: You guys are nuts... but in all seriousness when the time is right I'll propose Cassie, that I can promise, Honey Bun.

Cassie: Really?

Trevion: Absolutely, I'm in love with you but I want to make my proposal perfect, just like you.

Lauren: Hold on, he calls you Honey Bun?

Cassie: Better than Derek calling you Sugar Booger.

Lauren: Touché, baby sister.

One week later....

After an amazing trip to Cassie's native land which included surprising his girlfriend's family with WrestleMania weekend tickets, touring the most famous attractions in Sydney and going on a local safari as well, the couple along with Jessica and Shane left back for the States and as soon as the four came back replenished, recharged and re-energized, Shane left for his and Jessica's condo, but Jessica linked up with Cassie and Trevion and headed for the luxury hotel where one of their newest friends, Austin aka Xavier Woods was holed up preparing to host another segment of his wildly popular YouTube channel, UpUpDownDown as he was with Pamela(Bayley) Ettore(Big E), Kofi, Mercedes(Sasha Banks) and Tyler(Seth Rollins) and he was preparing for an NBA 2K tournament.

In Austin's hotel room:

Austin: Hello everyone, its your boy Austin Creed and I'm here with Sasha, Bayley, Big E, Seth, Kofi, and SmackDown's newest superstars Billie Kay, Peyton Royce and Alex Thunder!!

Everyone: Hey Guys!!!!

Austin: Now I sent out a poll to you guys to determine which sports video game tournament you'd want to see and you guys wanted to see an NBA 2K18 tournament and after a bunch of prelims we have our top 8 finalists here tonight to determine who is the best baller in WWE TODAY. Alex you got anything to say to your fellow gamers??

Trevion: Prepare yourselves for utter humiliation I used to win every tourney in 2K and I can't and won't stop.

Seth: We'll see about that brother, I'm ending that streak!

Bayley: Not before I do!!

Sasha: Please, I'm the Boss and if anyone is beating Alex Thunder it's me, and you can Bank on It.

Peyton: I don't think so Sasha, you see as his girlfriend, I asked him to teach me the ways of being a badass of playing 2K and I'll be the one who destroys my baby in 2K.

Austin: Loving the trash talk; now Peyton, Billie, and Alex we all come up with nicknames here on UpUpDownDown, for example Bayley's Pogo, and Kofi's Mr. 24/7. What would guys like to be known as?

Trevion: I'll be known as King Thunderbolt.

Peyton: Call me the Venus Goddess.

Billie: I'll keep it simple and I'll be the Black Widow.

Austin: Alright, now we always hold a punishment at the end of a segment but since this is a 8-man tournament, the seven players who come up short will take the punishment instead while the winner and I enjoy your misery.(Unleashing an villainous cackle)

Trevion: Yo fam, is he always like this?

Everyone: Always.

Austin: Ok as everyone that has been watching, Sasha has been using her hometown Boston Celtics, Kofi is using the Toronto Raptors, Bays is Team Lakers, Seth is using the Portland Trailblazers, Billie Kay has selected the San Antonio Spurs, Peyton Royce has selected the Houston Rockets, Alex has chosen the Oklahoma City Thunder and finally, E has chosen the Milwaukee Bucks.

Peyton: No surprise there.

Alex: I'm actually good friends with PG-13 and I know he's probably watching so....

Austin: Alright the bracket is as follow: Sasha vs E, Peyton vs Bayley, Seth vs Billie, and Kofi vs Alex. Winner of Sasha vs E will play the winner of Alex vs Kofi and the winner of Peyton vs Bayley will play the winner of Seth vs Billie. Let the games begin!!!

After round 1

Winners: Sasha, Peyton, Seth, Alex

Round 2 results:

Winners: Peyton's Rockets defeated Seth's Blazers 103-94 and Alex's Thunder defeated Sasha's Celtics 107-101

Finals:

Peyton's Rockets defeated Alex's Thunder by a final score of 109-97

Austin: And with that after a thrilling couple battle, the girlfriend has upset the boyfriend in the finals of this NBA 2K tournament, the winner is the Venus Goddess, Peyton Royce!!!!

Trevion kisses her on the lips.

Trevion: Congrats baby girl, you delivered on your promise of handing me my first 2K tourney L and now I have to take this punishment like a man.

Austin: That's right Alex; you, Sasha, Bayley, Seth, Kofi, E and Billie must suffer the consequences of coming up short... you all have swallow a whole... GHOST PEPPER!!!!

Austin then unveiled 7 ghost peppers on plates with 7 seven cups and bottles of milk and water.

Austin: Don't worry I'm not that cruel, I've decided to give you guys a nice beverage to wash the heat you're about to endure. Now enjoy Peyton as your fellow WWE Superstars suffer the wrath of the hottest pepper in the entire world....

The seven runner-ups now swallow the peppers before them and Sasha, Billie and Kofi were the first to go for the milk while E and Seth went straight for the water. Surprisingly Bayley and Trevion were holding firm but after several more minutes the Doctor of Huganomics and the Thunderbolt were feeling the effects of the sadistic pepper finally, gave in and doused the intense pain with milk. Austin then closed out the show.

Austin: Thank you everyone for watching the UpUpDownDown NBA 2K Tournament Special... This Ya Boy Austin Creed signing out!!!!

Cassie then giggles at her boyfriend and kisses his cheek.

Cassie: Way to take one for the team Babe...

Trevion: Yeah.... for the team

Cassie: Let's take a picture for the Gram.
