Class ME - 2 Classroom

Bayley rapidly taps her pen against the desk with her eyes lasered in on the clock on the wall. Bayley shakes her head frustrated sighing as she plants her face onto the desk. Sasha looks over at Bayley and raises an eyebrow at her odd behavior. Bayley raises her head up as it looks like she's going through an emotional rollercoaster. Bayley glances at the clock once more eager for the bell to ring. Bayley slams her fist down against the table as there were some minutes left before the bell would ring.

"Girl, what's going on with you? You've been acting weird all morning?" Sasha asked her best friend.

Bayley offered an obviously fake smile shaking her head "What do you mean? I'm fine, Sasha."

"No, you've been on edge since we got to school. You keep staring at the clock and getting mad for some reason. You got somewhere you need to go? You got someone you need to meet? Or rather want to meet?" Sasha asked curiously.

"No, Sasha, you're just looking into me a bit much. I'm good." Bayley said assuredly but there was actually more to it than she was willing to admit.

"Whatever you say but I still believe you're acting weird for some reason." Sasha stated.

"Look, I know it may seem like that but I'm telling you th-" Before Bayley could finish her words the school bell sounds which brought a big smile on Bayley's face as she exclaimed "Oh thank God! Finally!" Bayley lumps all her stuff in her bag and darts right out of the classroom.

"Bayley!" Sasha yells out but it is too no use as Bayley is gone with the wind. Sasha calmly gathers all her belongings just before she runs after Bayley.

Class M Hallway

Bayley ran down to Class M's hallway where the School bulletin board is and when she reaches it she sees that she's not the first person there as Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Rusev, Lana, Drew McIntyre, and Carmella are all waiting by the board.

"Did they put it up yet?" An out of breath Bayley asked.

"No. Did you run all the way down here?" Lana asked.

"What? No! I mean I was practicing for track that's all." Bayley said lying through her teeth.

"But you're not on the track team." Mandy pointed out.

"Well…...Um…...i...Er…" As Bayley stumbles to get her words right, she looks over and sees Finn approaching the board with Apollo and Zack behind him. "Finn!"

"Hey, Bayley. They haven't put it up yet?" Finn asked.

"No I'm afraid not. I was just actually going by on my way to the office to check it out a bit, but nothing. So, yo-" Mandy Rose steps in front of Bayley, cutting her off as she greets Finn.

"Finn, my darling! How are you? Oh! I heard what happened to you and I wanna make things right. Sonya!" Mandy yelled out at Sonya as she walks over to here glaring at Finn Balor. "Is there something you wanna say?"

"Ugh! Do I have to?" Sonya asked Mandy, who elbowed her to get her to do the right thing. "Fine! I'm sorry that I kicked you in your nasty, disgusting, balls! I'm sorry for stomping your ugly, repulsive, man face."

"Ummm apology accepted I guess." Finn confusingly said as Sonya got close to him.

"I just wanted you to know something." Sonya said as she got close to Finn's ear. "Next time, I won't be sorry as I'll finish the job!" Sonya rolls her eyes looking away at Finn.

"Please forgive my friend, she can be overprotective of me, but that's also why I love and adore her. You wanna know what else I adore. A man with some hard-rocking abs and I hear you have that exactly." Mandy said with a sly smirk on her face.

"Well, I don't know about that." Finn said chuckling.

"Don't be so submissive. You should definitely take pride in what you have and show them off every once in a while." Mandy said as she caresses her finger from Finn's face all the way down to his stomach pleasing herself. Bayley looks on a bit jealous, but then suddenly the sound of a woman shrieking loudly echos through the entire school, shaking everyone up a bit.

"Oh boy! That's not good." Zack said.

"What the hell was that? Did you guys hear that?" Finn asked.

"Dude, we felt that! You should already know by this point." Apollo stated.

"What was it?" Mandy asked.

"Let's just say that some things can be tamed, but a wild Fox is not one of them." Apollo said which confused everyone even more.

Sasha Banks has made her way to the board tugging on Bayley's arm. "Bayley, what the hell is going on with you? You just shot out of class like there was a fire."

Before Bayley could respond Alexa Bliss marches past them scoffing. Alrighty, losers I've come here to ensure that things aren't so lame around here. Honestly, why are all of you here? You're waiting for the Mixed Match Challenge bracket? Seriously, how lame!" Alexa said while looking down on everyone.

"And, why exactly are you here? This is Class M's hallway. Some of us are where we need to be while the rest of you are on the wrong floor." Lana said.

"You're right you're exactly where you need to be and that's below me. I'm glad you have accepted that." Alexa said with an arrogant smirk on her face just before she turns her attention towards Finn. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the new president of Class dweebs! Congrats although being Class J's president isn't anything to brag about."

"Thanks, I'm sure to make the best of it! When I finally be able to challenge your class to Wargames things will change around here." Finn said confidently.

"You're still going vying for that to happen huh?" Alexa asked "Your funeral."

'Everyone tries to talk over everyone causing a big commotion in the hallway. However, the talking stopped as Coach Jarrett waltz over to the board with a paper in his hands. "Shut the hell up you slapnuts! This is a school for cryin out loud!" Coach Jarrett said just before he posted the paper on the board and walked off. Everyone bum-rushed towards the board pushing and shoving to see what was on the paper as it was, in fact, the Mixed Match Challenge bracket and it reads as follows:

Mixed Match Challenge Round One

McIntyre/Carmella

Balor/Banks

Ryder/Flair

Rusev/Lana

Corbin/Bayley

Crews/Deville

Styles/Bliss

Brooke/Carter III

Strowman/Rose

Zayn/Emma

Black/Riott

Joe/Naomi

Everyone reads on it searching for their name and who'll they're teaming with. Carmella finds her name and partner and claps with excitement.

"Yaaaas! Drew! Let's show them what Class ME is all about! We about to have it poppin!" Carmella said.

"You better be on your A- game and I'm serious! I want to demolish that tiny pissant!" Drew stated.

"Drew! Stop bein so uptight. We got this! You got big money with you because Mella is money baby! Yeah!" Carmella said as she moonwalked away all smiles as Drew shakes his head going the opposite way.

"Oh, darling! We get to be together! I was so worried that we'd get separated and I'd be stuck with some loser in Class J." Lana said with a sigh of relief.

"I never doubted it for a second. Now, we must go to train so we can crush them!" Rusev said as he storms off with Lana clinging to his arm.

"Oh, man are you serious?" Apollo said looking at the board seeing who he'll tag along with.

"Ugh! Don't get me started! Ok, I rather do a million other things than team with a disgusting male! Just let me do my thing and stay out of my way!" Sonya said scolding Apollo.

"Bro, we've seen what she did to Finn. I'd wear a cup if I were you." Zack whispered to Apollo. "But bro did you see who I'm teaming with? Charlotte Flair? Broooooo! I hit the jackpot!"

"Oh my god! Braun? Ewww! He's just so big and country and just ugh! Why him? Mandy cried.

After almost everyone broke away from the board, Bayley, Finn, and Sasha were able to see it for themselves. Bayley eagerly looks through it but her face drops once she sees that she's pairing up with Baron Corbin. "Aww man! Baron Corbin?" a deflated Bayley said.

"What's wrong, Bayley? Is he not good?" Finn asked.

"I don't know it's just he's not what I had in mind for a partner. Who did you get, Finn?" Bayley asked just before she looked back at the board and saw Finn paired with Sasha. "Sasha?"

"Who's Sasha Banks?" Finn asked.

"That'd be me." Sasha said tapping Finn on his shoulder.

"Sasha? Nice to meet you. I'm Finn." Finn said.

"Oh we've meet before but this is our first time meeting accordingly and I know who you are Finn. You're the talk of the school and Bayley has spoken very highly of you.

"Oh really? Thanks Bayley!" Finn said to Bayley.

"Oh well, you know me." Bayley said with a fake grin as she seemed to be hurt on the inside.

"So, Finn, I know you're in Class J but you look like you don't really belong there." Sasha said.

"I don't and I'm going to change that when I get the opportunity to challenge your class in Wargames. But, until then I'm just ready to get this Mixed Match Challenge thing started! " Finn said.

"Me too and I'll have you know that you couldn't ask for a better partner for this type of thing. I'mma boss and I handle my business and get shit done. You feel me?" Sasha. Said with a confident smirk on her face.

"Oh I definitely feel you on that. Let's take care of business, boss lady!" Finn said with a grin as he and Sasha hi-five.

Bayley looks on at Sasha and Finn laughing and talking with each other. Bayley sighs wishing it was her that was teaming with Finn instead of her best friend. Bayley quietly walks away with her head down sadden.

"Yes! And I'm sure Bayley is just as excited for it. Isn't that right Bay-" Sasha pauses as she realizes Bayley is gone. "Where did she go?

"I don't know she was right here a minute ago." Finn stated.

"Well, well, well, I get to team up with a Phoeniminal guy! Sorry to break it to your losers, but this one is in the bag as Class ME's top students are going to win this without even breaking a sweat." Alexa bragged.

"Oh whatever, Alexa. Just make it to the finals cause we'll certainly going to be there." Sasha stated.

"Wait, you said Phoeniminal One?" Finn curiously asked as he looked towards the board again and recognized a familiar name on it. 'AJ!" Finn said with a bit of an angry tone in his voice.

"That's right my old friend!" someone said from a distance walking towards the board. Finn turns around to see AJ Styles with a big grin on his face. Standing behind AJ were Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.

"Boys! Would you look who it is?" AJ asked.

"My, my, my, I'd never thought I'd see you again, Finn. It's been a while." Karl said.

"You still look the same as before except you don't have that stupid curly haircut anymore." Luke stated.

"So you guys go to school here as well?" Finn asked.

"That's correct. We came here after that unfortunate incident back in Japan. You know what I'm talking about." AJ said as he stepped closer to Finn. "The incident that got us kicked out but we all know that it was your fault!"

"You can't pin that on me although maybe you deserved it after you stabbed me in the back!" Finn said.

"How did I stab you in the back? You took it personally as it was nothing but just business." AJ told Finn.

"You kicked me out of my group and had my friends turn on me after I personally let you in when no one wanted you!" Finn angrily shouted.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Let's just chill out, Finn." AJ said with a sarcastic tone. "We're not trying to cause any hell today."

"Yeah, that's right. We know you have a fire burning in you but just cool it off." Karl added on.

"Besides, nobody wants to see that demon come out of you. Just keep him locked away as it's best for everyone." Luke stated.

"It's especially best for you as you wouldn't want your new friends to see what you're truly are right?

Finn balls his hands up in fists as Styles, Gallows, and Anderson continue to provoke him. Finn's hands are visibly shaking wanting to throw a punch. Apollo and Zack come to Finn's sides.

"Bro, these guys messing with you?" Ryder asked.

"Speak of the devil! These must be your new pals? Boys, I just want to wish you best of luck cause I'm certain you're going to need it. Me and Bliss are going to dominate!

"So, I'll see you in the finals then." Finn coldly said.

"Oh you'll see me alright, but the question is will I see you? Or will I see who you're hiding within?" Styles said with a smug look on his face.

"So, Finn, what do you call yourself and your new friends over here?" Karl asked.

"Oh I know! I know exactly what they call themselves." Luke chimed in.

"What is it, Luke?" AJ asked.

"They are…...NEEERRRRDDDS! Gallows said as he, Anderson, and Gallows laugh at Finn's expense. Styles brushes past Finn with Anderson and Gallows behind him, walking off.

"Dude, you know them? What was that about?" Apollo asked.

"I don't want to talk about it. I need to be alone for a moment." Finn said as he storms off in a huff clearly upset. Apollo and Zack look at each other then back at Finn marching down the hallway.
