Raw after Battleground
Michael Cole: Enzo and Cass could be reaching high for a chance for the WWE Tag Team Champions.
Corey Graves: Oh whatever! If Gallows and Anderson get a hold of those belts, the tag team division will be in their control.
Bryon Saxton: For now, Enzo and Big Cass could be saying "How you doin'" to those belts very soon.
Enzo and Big Cass were still celebrating until they attack from behind.
Cole: Guys! Oh my god! Guys, look!
Saxton: What the hell are they doing here?!
Raijn threw Enzo through the second rope, out of the ring. Brick pound Cass on his back. Raij motion his partner to perform their finisher. Brick grab Cass by his hair, get him back on his feet.
Brick: DID YOU MISS US?
Brick push Big Cass to the rope. Cass bounce off and Brick pick him up by his legs. Raij deliver a vicious superkick and Brick perform a spine buster down to the square circle.
Graves: YES! Finally taking care of business.
Cole: Raijn and Brick. They're from NXT? Why are they here?
Brick point to an exhausted Enzo. Raij grab Enzo, bringing him back inside the ring.
Raij: How you doin' Enzo. Not so good.
Raijn deliver two powerful kick to both sides of Enzo's head before kicking him in the midsection. Brick pulled Enzo's head between his legs and perform a powerbomb.
Graves: The Rowdyruff Boyz have arrive on Raw. Smack talker Skywalker won't be saying much now.
Cole: A dominant performance by these two men. Sending a direct message to the Raw tag team division.
Later on that night
Tom Philips stop Raij and Brick for an interview.
Tom: Gentlemen, why are you here and attacking Enzo and Big Cass?
Raijn and Brick look at each other then back at Tom.
Raij: You really are a stupid idiot! We arrive for a reason. Making a statement and sending a message. Look at the Raw tag team division.
Your champions are The New Day. That alone should be alarming of disappointment. Then you have Enzo and Big Cass. Two of the annoying men from NXT. How were they arrive to the flagship show before us is a crime!
Brick: Then there's the other teams of stupidity like The Golden Truth and The Shining Stars. Trash!
Raij: Our only competition is Gallows and Anderson. You two think you two come from Japan and dominant on Raw? We're here to show y'all who's the boss.
Brick: The Tag Team Championship are ours. Got a problem? Deal with it!
The two leaves Tom and exit the arena.
I watched their performance. My phone ring and I answered it.
Raij and Brick: Hey bro!
"Sup bros! Awesome performance tonight!"
Raij: Thanks man. We may be heading to Summerslam. The continuing rivalry between us boyz and Enzo and Cass.
"Haha. Tell Enzo that he needs to work on his shoe game. It's getting weak."
???: What do we got ova here. A cuppa of haters. Rahzel talking about shoe game.
"Enzo, don't you have an ass kicking to recover from?"
Enzo: [laughs] We'll get our revenge. But speaking on recovery, your shoe game is so weak, not even Jordan himself can save you.
I was silent, finding a better way to respond. But fail.
"Whatever 'Zo."
Enzo gave the phone back to Raij and we continue to talk.
After we talk, I went back to think on my character reform. I was drawing blanks.
Weeks later, I went to help out with the stage crew for the Cruiserweight Classic at Full Sail. They were doing audio.
Then this magnificent song came on. The wrestlers were digging the song and so was I. Coach Bloom walked up to me.
Coach Bloom: You like this? [Raising an eyebrow]
"Yeah. Doesn't it sound glorious?"
Coach Bloom: Very punny Ruszel. I hope you like it. It's your new theme.
Listening to the song gave me an idea about my new character.
I came back to NXT for the build up to Takeover Brooklyn. I wanted my match to be the greatest in my solo career. So I challenged Hideo Itami.
Coming back to my birth place, I had to leave on a good note.
NXT Takeover: Back II Brooklyn
Both Hideo and I were down after a superplex. The crowd was loving the match, chanting "This is awesome."
I was loving this match. I was got up, waiting on Hideo to get up. Hideo got up and I picked him up to perform my finisher, the Glorious Rendition.
But I had a better plan. I perform the modified GTS on the innovator of the GTS. The crowd slightly pop for the move.
After a couple of minutes, Hideo hit the GTS and get the pin. Hideo celebrate as I stay down in the ring. I stayed in the ring, disappointed at my loss.
"See you Monday!"
"See you Tuesday!"
I look at the crowd as one side chanted to see me on Raw as the other side chanted to see me on Smackdown Live.
The NXT fans are always the best and this was enlightening to my heart. I never thought as the best on NXT. I wasn't a big name like Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Finn Bálor. But it was a sign that you don't have to be a big name to get cheers like that.
I walk back to the locker room and watched the rest of the show.
WWE Summerslam
Brooklyn, NY
Triple Threat Ladder Match
Jeri-KO vs Enzo and Big Cass vs The Rowdyruff Boyz
Cole: Enzo got rid of Jericho and now is climbing the ladder.
Saxton: Jericho and Owens is down. Cass is still out from the superplex to the Smackdown announce table.
Graves: Enzo may a clear shot.
Brick grabs Enzo's leg as Raijn climbs the ladder. Enzo try to kick Brick off him. Raijn grabbed the contact at the top.
JoJo: Here's your winners: Raij and Brick, The Rowdyruff Boyz.
Cole: The Rowdyruff Boyz win the match, giving them a future tag team title shot.
Graves: The question who will be tag champions. Either way, two big dream matches.
Saxton: Imagine The New Day vs The Rowdyruff Boyz!
Graves: How bout Gallows and Anderson against the boyz! Going to be great match!
Backstage
I hugged Raij and Brick after Summerslam. Their first PPV match, especially a ladder match with one of the legends, Chris Jericho along with Kevin Owens and the hottest tag team on Raw, Enzo and Big Cass.
I waited for them to get dress. I high five the superstars I encounter. Trash talk Enzo, talk to Charlotte, 2 time Women's champion, and congrats on Finn on winning Shinsuke Nakamura's jacket title aka the WWE Universal Championship. He was holding his right arm though.
I tried to find Becky but she was nowhere to be seen.
Hopefully she'll be at the party.
