Jon had been quiet for a couple of days. He only spoke when it was necessary. At first, he came to Dynamite to support Brianna, but after a few weeks, he stopped coming. Kylee knew that something was wrong with him, but she was afraid to over step with him. Things were hard without him around. Kylee needed to talk to him, so finally she decided to ask him to come Dynamite so they could talk. He agreed.
They both arrived and decided to talk before the show started. They sat down in a private place. Kylee began "Jon. I know this is not easy for you. But, I am having some troubles emotionally and I really need you." Jon sighed "Kylee, why did you think that I wouldn't care about that? Yes, things aren't great, but we are family. I am always here for you no matter what." Kylee smiled but noticed that Jon was staring at his hands. "Jon, what's going on? You haven't said more than a few words in days. I am starting to worry about you" she explained. She got a text before he could answer. "I've got to go meet with Dustin about my match. Walk with me?" she asked. "Of course" he smiled.
Silence fell between the two again. Kylee turned and walked backwards in front of Jon. "Come on, talk to me" she said. Before he could answer, Kylee was thrown into him. A stage hand had blown past the pair and knocked into Kylee. Kylee fell on top of Jon. For the first time in what felt like forever, Jon laughed. "That kid works for Cody. And, he's terrified of him" Kylee explained. As the two laughed on the floor, neither noticed the reporter behind them. A picture was taken of the incident, but it would prove to cause more problems than it should.
The two stood up and made their way to Dustin's office. The night continued on without any problems. As Kylee's match approached, Jon received a phone call. He left with a clear unhappy look. After the night was over, Kylee asked him about it. "Hey, I noticed that you weren't too happy about that phone call. Everything alright?" she questioned him. "No, it's not" he sighed, "Renee and I are fighting. She wants me to just quit and save everyone the trouble. And, I guess that it is going around now that you were the one who told me to quit WWE. So, Vince is furious and all this bullshit." "Oh."
"I am frustrated because she is defending the WWE's actions. And, she knew. She knew they were coming for my contract and she didn't say anything" Jon explained. "Actually, do you mind if I stay with you for a while? I don't really want to go home and fight more" Jon smiled. Kylee laughed "Of course you can stay over. And don't worry about me. I'm a big girl. I can handle myself" she teased. The two made their way to the hotel and caught up with one another. Unfortunately, their nice night would turn into one of the worst days of their lives.
Kylee woke up the next morning. Half awake, she checked her phone. She had over two hundred notifications from Twitter alone. She opened her Twitter to find out what was going on. Her sleepy eyes quickly turned to tears as she read the tweets. 'Homewrecker' was the most common word in them. All of them attached an article titled 'Moxley cheating?'. She clicked on the article and there was that photo. Kylee was basically straddled on top of Jon with a huge smile on both of their faces. Kylee knew the context of the photo, but read the article.
Moxley Cheating?
Jonathan Good, aka Jon Moxley, was caught in a rather compromised position during last night's AEW Dynamite. Good is married to the WWE's Renee Young. Good and Young met during his stint at the WWE. While Good works for AEW, Young is now the co-host of WWE Backstage on Fox. Last night, Jon was found holding Kylee McMillian, aka Brianna St Marie. The later straddling the former. At first glance, one might not think much of the action, but it was what this reporter saw after that sealed this. The two shared an intimate KISS, thinking that no one was watching them.
Kylee stopped reading when she felt Jon moved. Her eyes were filled with tears. Her phone dinged. She looked at it, and she had a text from Renee. 'ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?' was all the message said. She turned to Jon and decided to wake him. After letting him wake up, she showed him the article. He instantly reached for his phone and he had just as many notifications. He ignored most of them and instead looked at the messages from his wife first. Kylee looked away so that she would not invade their privacy. "Fucking seriously?" Jon whispered. He turned to Kylee and saw her tears. "Hey. This is not your fault. Nothing happened" he defended. "I know but…" she trailed off as she handed Jon her phone again. It was open to her Twitter page. It showed nothing but tweets calling her a whore and a homewrecker with the article linked to it.
Jon sighed as he looked at her screen. "Let me handle this alright? Starting with Renee" he said as he stood to call his wife. He left the room. As the door clicked closed, Kylee broke. Her tears flowed and she curled into a ball. Her life was over. How could someone do this to her? She lost herself in her sadness. She didn't even hear Jon return to the room. He crawled up behind her and just held her as she cried.
They gathered their things and left the hotel. Outside, there was a mass of paparazzi. Everyone taking pictures of the two as they got in their car to the arena where Kylee's travelling bus was. They reached the bus, and there were people outside the arena that stared at the pair. Jon sighed as he continued to load the bus. Finally, they were on the road to the next city for AEW. As they traveled, Kylee was silent. Her whole world was in pieces and she wanted to just be alone. Jon didn't know what to say or do, so he left her to her silence.
After that day, Kylee and Jon rarely spoke. It had been almost two months when Jon had finally had enough. He needed to talk to his best friend. He found her alone in her dressing room. "Hey. Can we talk?" he asked. "Sure" she replied quietly. "Look Ky. Things aren't great… But, I need you back in my life. I can't do this not talking to each other. Renee and I separated, and frankly I just need my best friend back" he explained. "You and Renee…" she trailed. "Yeah. But, it is more complicated than you think" he responded. It was then when they were called to the common area.
Again, the WWE stood in their common area. Vince stood next to Tony and they seemed ready to speak to their rosters. Everyone stared at Jon and Kylee as they entered the room. Britt walked over to the duo and put her arm around Kylee. Tony started "Okay. I would like to thank everyone for being here. Vince and I have come to an agreement about how to settle this dispute that would benefit both of us. A single match pay-per-view streamed live on YouTube. Four individuals will enter into a ladder match. The lawsuit will be placed in the briefcase. Whoever comes down with it gets the contracts."
Vince continued "Tony and I have decided that our women will be competing in this historic inter-brand event. A woman from each brand - Raw, Smackdown, NXT, AEW - will enter the match. The event will be advertised as Nowhere to Run. The ladder match will be the only event. And, we have decided on some rules. First, Tony agreed to only allow one individual to compete for his brand. Second, we decided that if anyone from your brand enters the arena during the match, then you will be automatically disqualified. Winner takes the contracts with no more interference or questions."
