Yesterday - Principal McMahon's office.

Finn stood before Principal Mcmahon in his office with Alexa Bliss standing right behind him. Principal McMahon had a sly grin on his face looking at Finn. "So you really want to rise up that bad huh?" Principal McMahon asked.

"Yes." Finn said with a firm tone in his voice.

"Alright. Well, the only way to move up a class is to challenge a class representative to war games." McMahon stated.

"Wargames?" Finn curiously asked.

"Yes. You and a couple of your fellow classmates of your choosing will challenge a class rep and people he selects to wargames. It's five on five competition."

"Fine. I'll do it. I'll gather a couple of my classmates and watch as we take down Class ME." Finn boldly stated.

"Class ME? Whoa! Here I thought you'd go one by one working your way up, but I see you're gonna just jump over everyone and go straight for the big fish. I see the fire in your eyes and I can definitely tell you are an Irishman true to the heart." Principal McMahon stated as he patted Finn on the shoulder walking him towards the door.

The Next Day

It's a new morning in Class J's homeroom as some of the students start piling it with some time leftover before the class started. Everyone is doing their usual thing, except Apollo Crews and Zack Ryder spaced out in deep thoughts. Zack looks through his phone just before he tossed it down turning away. Apollo Crews taps his pencil against the desk looking at the worksheet but ends up slamming his pencil on the desk. Something was bothering the two men as they're not acting their usual self.

"Bro, is he serious? I mean… It's just… BRO!" Zack stated beside himself.

"I just can't believe he had the balls to just march into the principal's office like that. On his first day!" Apollo replied.

"Dude, that's not the worse of it. People have been gossiping about hearing that someone from our class is going to declare wargames against Class ME. The word's been spreading around and I felt it when I came to school and everyone was just eyeballing me bro." Ryder said.

"Yeah, I got that same feeling too. I don't know what he plans to do. Did the principal tell him everything about wargames or did he just accept without knowing?" Apollo stated.

"Bro, I'm sorry but I don't think I can be apart of wargames. I mean don't get me wrong I'd love nothing more than to just move up, but wargames? Bro, that's insane and to make it more insane he's talking about challenging Class ME? They'd smoke us!

"Look, maybe you're right, but maybe he also has a point. It's an opportunity for us to better ourselves. I mean look at our classroom? It's a dump! Our entire hall is a dump compared to the other classes. But, we're talking about something we don't know is certain. Does he even know he has to challenge the class rep to even declare wargames? Apollo asked.

"That's right! You gotta be the class rep in order to challenge another class rep! Zack said with a sigh of relief. "Look, let's just keep that to ourselves."

"You don't think he'll find out eventually?" Apollo asked. Before Zack could reply Finn made his way into the classroom and is greeted by Alica Fox.

"Hello, Finn! How are you?" Alicia said hugging Finn tightly.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry but I don't think I got your name yesterday. I was in such a rush I didn't really get to know the rest of the class." Finn said.

"I'm Alicia Fox and I must say you are really, really, cute." Alicia stated.

"Gosh, thanks! I think you look lovely yourself." Finn replied causing Alicia to blush.

"Awww, well you do-" Alicia paused as her eyes widen as it appears something struck her nerve. Alicia began sniffing all over Finn. "That smells like perfume. The kind of perfume whores would put on. Don't tell me my Finny have you've been hanging a bunch of whores?! Alicia said with a crazed look in her eyes, confusing Finn a bit as he just made his way to the back of the classroom to his seat. Finn greeted both Apollo and Zack.

"Lads! So did you think it over? I'm telling you this is a great opportunity for the class." Finn stated.

"Bro, look….. It's just we're not really su-" The door swung open causing Zack to pause his words! Storming through the classroom was Rusev glaring at the classroom with a handful of his Class M right behind him.

"Ok, who's the tough guy that's going to challenge Class ME to wargames?" Rusev shouted out loudly. "In case you've forgotten you are Class J. You are nothing but a bunch of jobbers. So, what makes you think you can just jump over us and challenge Class ME?

"Honestly, do any of you realize that you are disrespecting the super athlete of this school, Rusev!" Lana, Rusev's boyfriend stated as she stood beside him.

"Bro, you see what you've done?" Ryder whispered to Finn.

"Well, this should be good." Finn said with a smirk on his face standing up out of his seat. "I'm the one you're looking for."

"You?" Rusev asked turning and pointing at Finn. "You're going to challenge Class ME?"

"That's right. I'm the guy who's going to challenge them and I'm going to beat them as well" Finn stated as Rusev and Lana marched towards him getting in his face.

"Now, I don't keep up with what the weaklings down here do, but I do not recall seeing you around before." Rusev stated.

"I'm new here just transferred yesterday," Finn informed Rusev.

"So you're some nobody and you dare disrespect, my boyfriend. He should kick your ass right here right now.

"So, you not been here even a week and you're already challenging the top class? Who the hell do you think you are?" Rusev asked.

"I'm Finn Balor and I never back down." Finn told Rusev to his face. Before Rusev could reply the door swings open yet again as charging into the room was one Drew McIntyre.

"Alright, who's the poor bastard who's head I gotta kick off!" Drew loudly shouted.

"Hey, we were here first! So, we've got first dibs on this punk." Rusev stated as he turned his attention from Drew back to Finn. Drew walks over to Rusev and Finn.

"So, you're the jerk that I've been hearing about?" Drew asked.

"Yeah, and it seems I'm getting quite popular for this being my second day." Finn said with a sly grin on his face. Stepping from behind Drew and standing beside him was Mandy Rose.

"Wait, you're the guy who's going to declare Wargames?" Mandy asked.

"Yes, that's me but who are you, people?" Finn asked.

"So, I see your class has failed to inform you of the important people here." Rusev said with a grin on his face.

"Ok, the hairy guy on your right is the Class M rep, Rusev and his girl, Lana." Apollo said as he stood up.

"And, the bro on your left is the Class UC rep, Drew McIntyre and the fine hotty next to him is Mandy Rose. Yo Mandy, wassup baby?" Zack said as he winked at Mandy Rose who shook her head with disgust.

"Cool. Now, I know who you are." Finn said.

"But you don't know what I'm about and that should scare you." Drew stated coldly.

"Now, wait a minute Drew, let's not get too hostile. I mean he's kinda cute. I bet you have a six pack huh?" Mandy said seductively as she caress her finger down Finn's chest, but that proved to be a costly mistake as WHACK! A kendo stick struck Mandy on the arm from out of nowhere. All eyes were then turned to Alicia Fox wielding the kendo stick like a mad woman.

"Keep your sluty hands off my Finn!" Alicia said.

"Ow! That hurt you crazy bitch!" Mandy said clutching onto her arm.

"Crazy?! Did you just call me crazy?" Alicia said.

"Oh no! She pressed the wrong button." Apollo said as he and Zack do their best to restrain Alicia Fox.

"This is exactly why you are in Class J! Somebody should teach you a lesson!" Rusev shouted.

"Well then by all means if you're feeling a bit froggy then jump!' Finn said daring Rusev as the tensions were brewing as a Mexican standoff ensure between the different classes. However, before the fireworks could go off Mr. Snow walks in as the school bell sounds.

"Alrighty class, let's get to-" Mr. Snow pauses witnessing the huge gathering in his classroom. "Hey, what the hell is going on here? You kids are not a part of this class. Shouldn't you get going?"

"This isn't over, punk." Rusev said following it up with some trash talk in Bruguarin as he leads Class M out the classroom.

"I got my eyes on you. So you better watch your back!" Drew stated as he leads Class UC out of Class J's room. Mandy followed up behind them, but stopped in the doorway turning around smiling at Finn.

"I'll see ya around, stud." Mandy winked at Finn as she exits the classroom. Zack and Apollo were still holding Alica Fox back from getting her hands on Finn as she wildly swung the kendo stick around just before Mr. Snow took it away from her.

"Alright, so does anyone wanna tell me what the hell just went on?" Mr. Snow asked.

"It appears I've ruffled a few feathers." Finn said.

" I can see that but why were those guys trying to pick a fight with you." Mr. Snow said firmly.

"It may have to do with them hearing I plan on calling out Class ME and challenge them to wargames." Finn said as mostly everyone in the classroom gasp in shock.

"Wa-Wa-Wa- Wargames? You're going to challenge the top class of this school to wargames? My god Kid! This is only your second day of school and you're already shaking things up. Jesus!" Mr. Snow said as he shook his head in disbelief.

"Look, I know everyone looks down on Class J, but this our chance to show them what we're made of. After school I'm going up to Class ME and I'm going to throw down the challenge." Finn passionately stated.

"Kid, do you think it'll be that easy? Do you even know how wargames work?" Mr. Snow asked as Finn just shook his head no. "Ok, sit down and I'll explain it to you." Mr. Snow went back up to the front of the class to the chalkboard. Everyone else settled down and took their seats. "So, here's how it goes. First, you just can't go and challenge the class rep to wargames. In order to do that you have to be a class rep yourself, which you are not." Mr. Snow informed the class.

"Really? Then who's the class rep for Class J?" Finn asked.

"Ugh! They'd be Curt Hawkins. I know him he's kinda like my bro. We go way back." Ryder said.

"Then you can talk him into challenging Class ME. Finn replied.

"Bro, it's not that simple. Curt, he's… Well…. Curt has some seriously bad luck! Like he just can't catch a break. The only reason why he's Class rep is because nobody else wants to have that shameful label on them." Ryder stated.

"Ugh, so there's no way we can fight Class ME?" Finn cried.

"Actually, there is a way. You can challenge Curt for the right to be the Class J representative." Mr. Snow said.

"Really? Well, alright! Where can I find Curt? We can settle this right now?" Finn said with some excitement in his voice.

"Slow down there, Finn. I haven't told you the rest about wargames. Ok, let's say if you do manage to beat Curt?

"Manage?" The whole class asked skeptically.

"Ok, when you beat Curt then you can go on to make a challenge for wargames." Mr. Snow said. "However, I fear you haven't been told what wargames is so let me tell you. Wargames is a match that usually takes place out in the back in the stadium. Wargames consist of a set of three matches. One of them is the war of words." Mr. Snow said as Finn raised his hand.

"War of words?" Finn asked.

"Yes. Think of it as a debate, but we call them promos. You'll face off against another class rep in a promo. The objection is to get over with the people, have them react the loudest to what you're saying. The next match is the tug o war. I'm pretty sure you know how that works. Two teams pull on the rope and whoever pulls one team over the central line is the winner. However, if things end in a draw it goes to the third and final contest, which is the true staple of wargames. It's a steel cage deathmatch. Well, it's not really a deathmatch I'm just adding on dramatics. It's a team battle basically with five members from each class taking part in it. The way it works is that a cage will be lowered and it'll start off with one member from each class fighting it out. Every five minutes someone from a class will enter. Once everyone has entered the cage it then becomes the "Match Beyond" which means that whoever quits and is knocked out unconscious losers and the last team standing wins. And that's wargames." Mr. Snow said.

"Whoa! That's quite a lot. I can honestly say…. I'm looking forward to it." Finn said with a big smirk on his face. He turns around to Apollo and Zack looking at them. "What do you guys say?"

"I'm with you!" Alicia as she stood up standing right by Finn.

"You know what why not? What do we have to lose?" Apollo said as he stood up and hi-fiving Finn. Now all eyes were on the reluctant Zack Ryder.

"Bro, come on don't make me please!" Ryder pleaded. Zack lowers his head sighing. "Fine! I'll go along with it. Besides, you need someone to teach you some serious promo skills." Ryder fist bumps with Finn and Apollo.

"Alright. Finn, are you still certain you want to do this? Mr. Snow asked Finn, who nods his head with no hesistation. "Ok, this is not going to be easy. You'll need some coaching tips so I'll teach you a thing or two. I'll also check with the rest of Class J staff, see if they'll help out."

"Thanks Mr. Snow." Finn said with a big smile on his face.

"Hey, if you are able to beat Class ME, we Class J teachers get a raise in it and some better equipment, so there's something for us to go for as well. So, I'm going to do my best to help you guys prepare for that." Mr. Snow said.

"I just want to say that I know that being a new student here, I probably have no right to do a lot of what I'm doing right now. VJM is definitely different from other schools and I just learned that today. I know it's a lot to take on kids who the system says are better than us. But I believe that we are better than what the system says we are! So, I just ask you to believe in me as I believe in you!" Finn stated as his fellow classmates look on nodding their heads, getting behind him. Finn smiles and it appears he has finally gotten comfortable settling in his new environment. Unbeknownst to the class, Bayley was standing in the doorway looking at everyone surrounding Finn. Bayley couldn't help but smile big blushing a bit as she quietly steps out.
