NXT High School

Chapter 10-Friends Make The Best Enemies

I got Corey up and held his hand up. I looked at Corey and pointed at our opponents.

We both got our opponents and held their hands up. The crowd showed their appreciation as I got a microphone,

"So, did you enjoy tonight?" The crowd cheered loudly. "Now don't forget to watch this on the WWE Network, we don't know when it'll be premiering but just look out for NXT High on the WWE Network for only…"

"$9.99!" They shouted.

"Thank you, have a nice day." Everyone filed out of their seats as we headed backstage. When we got past gorilla everyone was there clapping and cheering, I quickly turned red. I was never good with attention, I liked to stay in the shadows. Well, unless I was singing, then I came out of my shell. I headed back to the locker room and had a shower. Once I had packed everything up I headed back to my room and played Minecraft until I was too tired to carry on. When I was in bed I made a mental note to talk to Jack the next day.

The NXT Day

The next day was mostly the same. Classes. The only ones I liked were Luchador, Submission and Promo class. Those were the ones that I excelled in. Promo class was where we literally just cut promos all the time and how to cut a promo. Once all the classes were finished I texted Jack and told him to meet me in the ring room. 10 minutes later we met each other.

"Why did you come here Jack?" I asked.

"Well remember that time in PE when you and Corey had that match on the crash mats without ropes or turnbuckles and still managed to get a match out?"

"And you asked me what moves were?" I asked.

"Yeah, I then went on Youtube, searched some matches that you recommended and was hooked from that moment on. I then searched for Wrestling schools and this was one that was highly recommended. So here I am." His answer was straight forward so I quizzed him more.

"So what would your style be?"

"High-flying but with power moves." He replied.

"Do you want to have a practice match?"

"Fuck yeah."

We moved into the ring and locked up. I shifted my weight and got Jack into a wristlock and reversed it until it I got Jack into a headlock but he bounced me off the ropes. I then caught him with a shoulder block and ran against the ropes and when he tried to jump over me, I jumped and hit him with a dropkick and went to the corner and hit a springboard arm drag. Jack then got up and we locked up and Jack got me in a front facelock and hit a snap suplex. He tried to go for another one but I blocked it and hit a delayed vertical suplex. The match went back and forth until Jack got on the top rope and when he went for a dropkick, I grabbed his legs and put him in a cloverleaf and sat on his back. After about half a minute Jack tapped out. We spent about another 30 minutes in the ring and I showed Jack my idea for a new submission, an inverted sharpshooter with an inverted bear hug.

"Fuck that hurts!" Shouted Jack.

"Do you give up?" I asked.

"Yep." I then let Jack go, "Where did you learn that move?"

"I didn't." I said with a smirk. "I came up with it yesterday and today was the first time I ever tried it on someone. Thanks for being my test dummy."

"You're a dick, you know that?"

"Yep but that's why you love me."

"Damn right."

The NXT Week

On the next Thursday was the set of tapings where the finals of the tournament were being decided. Three episodes were being taped. In the first episode, me and Corey competed in a squash match but Sheamus and Johnny came down to the ring and almost cost us the match but we quickly got the upper hand and beat our opponents convincingly. While we were celebrating, Sheamus and Johnny slid in the ring and we stared each other down. After 20 seconds we both started punching each other until me and Corey were both blinded and Corey hit me with the Geordie Powerbomb.

In the next show, me and Corey weren't scheduled for a match but we did have a promo segment.

"Corey, why did you give me a powerbomb last week?" I asked.

"I was blinded by Sheamus." Corey replied

"Well, I was blinded by Johnny and I didn't fight you, did I?"

"No." Corey said quiet and dejectedly.

"Should you apologise so we can move on?"

"I'm sorry for giving you a powerbomb."

"Thank you. Now we can move on and win the NXT High School Tag Team Championships!" As I shouted this, the crowd went wild and I smiled at Corey knowing what was happening the next week.

The producers went over what was happening with the tournament final match. It was me and Corey versus Jack and Bruno. It was going to be the same as our first match with a different ending and with the same promo at the start.

"Guys. Up here." I said through the TitanTron. "That's better. Now, I know that tonight there are stipulation matches for the tournament finals so we thought it would be, ahem, Best For Business to suggest a stipulation for the match. So we went to Principal Regal and suggested this new stipulation and he agreed, so this match is now…"

"A 2 out of 3 Falls Match." Corey said. We rushed out as Holiday began playing and we brawled in the ring and on the outside. While the referee was distracted with me, Corey got a chair and knocked out Jack. The match played out as our first match had. When the score was tied at 1-1 I was brawling with Jack in the ring, Sheamus and Johnny came out to the ring and Sheamus had his newly acquired NXT High School Championship belt on. I knocked Jack down and shouted at Sheamus and Johnny.

"What are you doing here?"

"Just watching." Just after Sheamus had said that, Jack rolled me up for a 2 count but while the referee was distracted by Sheamus and Johnny, Corey had gotten in the ring with a steel chair and hit me right in the face with it and left the ring smirking and joined up with Sheamus and Johnny on the ramp while Jack got into the cover and the crowd chanted no instead of counting the pin.

NO!…

NO!…

NO!

Do you guys hate Corey now. Tell me by leaving a review and you can follow my story. Now I'm sorry I haven't been updating, school is so annoying and because I'm in the last year of my GCSE's the work has been ramped up to the max. So, I won't be uploading as much as I was when I started this story. Also, because I want to I am going to be doing a song of the week, so this week's song is: See Creatures by Skwyd (aka my brother) go look at his sound cloud and buy his debut single (PLUG), Synchronise, on most online music distribution services. Thanks :3. P.S. This is my longest chapter with 1135 words of story.
