Wednesday. . . 4 days away from BattleGround

"So tell me about this wonderful week you've been having so far cous." Eddie face smirked at me on my laptop from our video chat.

"Well you all seen me beat Ziggler great match." I started, Eddie rolled his eyes."I've got a date with a Lass Kicker later on & I'm making my paperview debut at BattleGround."

"And from the Dirtsheets I've been reading, don't judge me you'll be facing Ryback tomorrow."Eddie retorted I groaned slightly. That meathook looked brutal.

"He packs a mean clothesline." I said involuntarily rubbing my neck.

"Lets not forget about how bad Rybaxel sucked, you can take him."Eddie encouraged, I nodded as a request popped up to join our chat.

"BombShellKat wants to join our chat should we ignore her?" I asked jokingly.

"Yeah, lets ignore her."Eddie said before cringing."I'm actually too close to her to ignore her she'll take the drive from Philly to New York to beat me or worst drag me shopping. Detrick accept her!" I laughed then clicked accept Katarina's glaring face popped up on a separate screen beside Eddies.

"Yo,yo yo." Katarina smiled.

"Pop a 40 its cryme tyme."I said back while Eddie chuckled.

"You guys have been doing that since Cryme Tyme formed."

"If it aint broke don't fix it."Katarina replied."Anyways what are we talking about?"

"Detrick is going up against Ryback on Smackdown."Eddie said making Katarina shrug.

"Piece of cake do me a favor for every time he yells feed me more,please roundhouse kick him that is the most annoying thing ever."Katarina replied."What about you Eddie?"

"Since the abrupt desolation of Styles & Cyrus, I've gotten a title shot against Jay Lethal can I get a fist pump suckers."Eddie beamed fist pumping making us laugh.

"Stomp a mudhole in him."Katarina smirked.

"I second that bring that World Television Championship into the family."I encouraged.

"You know I will."Eddie said."And Kat-Daddy whats new with you."

"Besides being the best Bombshell in all of WZW, I'm getting my first match out of Philly. I'll be going up against DRUMROLL PLEASE." Katarina said excitedly." Leva Bates! You guys know how much I like Blue Pants."

"This week has been really good to us."I said smiling, Eddie & Katarina nodded in agreement.

"Yup, me & Kat are getting closer and closer to joing the WWE."Eddie said happily.

"I sooo can't wait to join Team Bad." Katarina said eagerly. "Speaking of Team Bad have you talked to a certain NXT Woman's Champion yet?"

"For a second at the gym, I've got a date with Becky later."I replied, Katarina looked shocked before pouting.

"But I shipped you with Sasha, I'm already writing fan fiction."

"I hope its anonymous or you'll look creepy."Eddie said laughing. My phone vibrated beside my leg it was a text from Becky.

Hey meet me in lobby in 10, lets have a Bexellent time.

"It is very much anonymous Eddie." Katarina glared.

"Well I've gotta go I'll check in with you two eventually." I joked we all said our good byes and I logged out I was already dressed and everything so I just headed down to the lobby. Becky stood by the receptionists desk dressed in a loose white tanktop and burgandy skinnys with black sandels she looked pretty good.

"Becky." I greeted smiling once I got closer.

"Hey Detrick, ready to go ?" Becky beamed at me.

"Yup, my car or yours?" I asked just as Paige walked pass her tossing the keys into my hand."Should I even ask?"

"Don't ask Paige is Paige."Becky chuckled as we headed out the hotel and to her well apparently PCB's rental car for the week.

"Applebees & bumper cars, you are full of surprises." I joked as me & Becky returned to the hotel.

"I do know how to have a good time."Becky said tucking some of her orange hair behind her ear.

"I wouldn't mind hanging out with you anytime." I smiled as Becky blushed.

"Do you have any idea what time it is?"Paige asked throwing the door open and glaring at the two of us playfully.

"Why its only 7pm." I cringed playing along.

"Thats too late to have my sweet innocent Becky out."Paige wagged her finger before pulling Becky inside by the ear making us both laugh.

"You are crazy." I said.

"She is."Charlotte said shaking her head as she pulled Paige by the ear away from Becky.

"Ugh I'm embarrassed, I'll see you later."Becky laughed before shutting the door.

SmackDown

"Woo Woo Woo, the champs here." Zack Ryder fist pumped Dolph.

"Whats up?" I greeted back bumping fists with the two.

"Not much, I see you're up against Ryback tonight good luck." Zack said flipping his shades down.

"Thanks." I said tossing my bag into my locker, 3rd match on the card so I had plenty of time to get myself prepared.

"You've really been making waves in the company."Cesaro said as he passed by us.

"Thanks I'm trying to be as big as possible."I replied. I quickly changed into my gear and headed off to meet with Eden, I had a quick interview to film for the WWE App.

"My guest at this time United States Champion, Detrick Cyrus."Eden smiled as I stood beside her holding the belt over my shoulder."Now in a few days you face John Cena in a rematch for the United States Championship, but before that you must get though Ryback."

"Ryback's tough but I'm tougher, I'll get through this match just fine and then go on to retain at Battleground." I said confidently.

"The fans have been asking since your debut, who is Detrick Cyrus can you answer that question ?" Eden asked pointing her microphone towards me.

"I'm just a guy who wants to make his family proud, to leave a long lasting legacy and to keep the family name alive." I replied with a small smile. "Every match I win is for my dad,Eddie every title I win is for him every move I make will be for him."

"Thank you very much Detrick." Eden smiled before I walked off.

"There's the guy I was looking for." Naomi said dancing her way to the gorilla with Tamina trailing behind her. She carried a black cloth in her hand while smiling.

"Nao, Tamina." I greeted both of them before looking back at the monitor right now the current segment was Dolph/Lana/Summer/Rusev drama that I wasn't to interested in.

"We just got our brand new Team Bad T-shirts." Naomi smirked opening up the black & silver top to show it to me.

"Its dope."

"We know, well Sasha wanted us to give this to you to give to your cousin."Tamina cut in crossing her arms.

"Um I'm getting ready to go out for a match can I get it from you later?"I asked jumping up and down as Ryback approached us meaning the booring segment should be over soon.

"Yeah I should have thought of that better, but there is another reason we're here."Naomi said tucking the shirt into her back pocket.

"And that would be?"

"You've been getting really chumming with PCB." Naomi started

"And we wanna know why."Tamina finished.

"I've known Charlotte & Paige forever just like I've known you forever." I replied looking at Tamina who shrugged.

"Hmm interesting. Well we'll find you after the match." Naomi turned around and danced away.

"Good luck."Tamina said before following her.

Dolph and Lana sped past us angerily most likely it didn't go there way out there while shortly after a smug looking Rusev& Summer Rae passed by, Summer made sure to smile seductively at me as they went by. Ryback snorted as he stretched his arms.

"Don't pay her anymind, kid."Ryback said before turning away from me. His music started and he exited through the curtain.

Get Up

"And his opponent from Boyle's Heights, California weighing in at 229 pounds, the United States Champion, Detrick Cyrus!" Lillian announced as I made my way to the ring the same way as on Raw.

The ref asked if we were both ready before ringing the bell, Ryback came at me for a stiff clothesline judging by the stiffness and power he'd put into it it was a MeatHook. I rolled out the way before getting up and dropkicking him in the back making him stumble. He clearly underestimated me and I'm going to show everyone why that is a mistake. I hit a bulldog on Ryback before covering him.

"1!" Ryback kicked out.

We both got to our feet and went into the shoulder collar lock up, as expected Ryback got the upperhand and vertical suplexed me before pulling me up and irish whipping me. I rebounded back and caught him with a headscissor sending him onto the mat when he'd sat up I hit a low drop kick to his jaw. He however didn't fall back so I had to hit a low clothesline to finally get him onto his back. I went for a leg drop but Ryback moved out the way before getting up and booting me in the chest he then pinned me.

"1!" I kicked out.

Ryback pulled me up and sent me crashing back first into the corner, he then ran at me intending for a clothesline but I much to the crowds surprise managed to toss him over myself and out on the apron. I threw a forearm but Ryback caught it before throwing one of his own followed by a shoulder block I hit a jumping spinning roundhouse kick to the side of his head and he fell off onto the arena floor. I ran the ropes and when he finally stood up dove thru connecting with a suicide divr sending him back first into the barricade. I pulled him up and rolled him back inside the ring before climbing up onto the apron. Out of nowhere Ryback lifted me up from off the apron and onto his shoulders placing me in position for his shellshock I tried to escape it but he hit it sprawling me out in the middle of the ring. He then covered me.

"1!"

"2!"

"-!" I got the shoulder up shocking everyone earning me some cheers. Ryback hoisted me up and went for another but this time I managed to counter landing behind him he turned around into a sick super kick making him stumble back so I hit him with another. I then ran the ropes and performed my springboard 450 splash knocking Ryback back to the mat. I quickly covered him.

"1!"

"2!" Ryback kicked out.

I groaned holding my neck as I began scaling the turnbuckle, I braced myself on the top rope when out of nowhere Ryback lifted me up and tossed me off. I slowly staggered to my feet as the crowd began cheering and chanting "FEED ME MORE!" knowing what was coming I ducked under his arm again turning him and spinning him around I threw him onto my shoulders quickly nailing the DKO sending the Powerhouse to the mat in a slump. I quickly dove onto him for the cover.

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

Get Up

"Your winner via pinfall The United States Champion Detrick Cyrus!" Lillian announced as the ref held up my arm. Yup this was a kick ass week, a date with Becky Lynch , beating Ryback in a champion vs Champion match and now my Paperview debut this Sunday where everyone would be coming out to support me, what could possibly go wrong?
