GYM - Mixed Match Challenge
Finn walks back out into the gym and notices a lot of the guys cringing. Finn walks up next to Zack glancing over at the ring, where Sonya Deville stands over, Corbin, Apollo, and Mr. Snow wincing as they hold their balls.
"Ugh! Pathetic! All of you!" Sonya shouts as she exits the ring in a huff.
"As a result of a disqualification, Corbin and Bayley are your winners! God! I need an ice pack!" Mr. Snow exclaims while grunting.
"Whoa! What happened?" Finn asked.
"Bro! It was horrible! Sonya took all of them to dick kick city! First Baron, then Apollo and Mr. Snow. It looked so bad that I could even feel it." Zack said as Apollo rolls out of the ring trying to shake off the pain. Zack and Finn walk up to Apollo checking up on him. "Bro, are you alright?"
"I think I'll be fine, but I'm just grateful she only did it once. Finn, I can't imagine what you had to go through when she kicked you more than once down there." Apollo says laughing through the pain.
"Trust me, you guys got off easy. It sucks that I missed on seeing you in action and that you got eliminated so early. What set her off anyway?" Finn asked.
"Baron pushed her buttons. He was really laying into Bayley and said that woman had no place in the ring and she just lost it!" Apollo stated.
"Bro, I just realized the second round is about to start. Finn, we're going to be facing each other bro!" Zack said with excitement.
"Yeah, it should be good. Zack, I respect you as a friend, but I don't want you to hold back. You better give me everything you got!" Finn stated.
"Bro, I got you!" Zack said with a big smirk on his face. Zack turns around to see Principal McMahon and Seth Rollins staring at him and nodding their heads, which causes Zack's smirk to vanish. "Yeah, let's go bro!
"This outta be good." Apollo said as he takes a a seat on the sideline, watching Zack and Finn enter the ring with their respective partners. Bayley takes a seat next to Apollo.
"Hey Apollo, I'm so sorry how it went down in our match." Bayley said.
"Yeah, but it's all good. I got a couple of licks in on Corbin." Apollo replied.
"Yeah, but it's not the way I wanted to win. So far this whole thing hasn't gone like how I wanted it to go. I thought it'd be fun, but it's turning out to be so dissapointing." Bayley said lowering her head.
"I understand. Instead of teaming with the guy you're crushing hard on, you got stuck with a jerk of a partner, who talks down to you and doesn't respect you at all." Apollo said.
"Ye- wait, what? Crushing on? Wh- Wh- Who am I crushing on?" Bayley curiously asked.
"Come on Bayley, it's obvious you got a thing for Finn. I could tell because you act differently around him like there are butterflies in your stomach. That and you Class ME people wouldn't be caught dead with someone in Class J." Apollo informed Bayley.
"Well…I…. You see….. Th-... I...No! That's crazy! Finn and I are just good friends that's all. I mean I may find him a bit handsome, but that doesn't mean anything." Bayley said clamming up.
"Oh really?" Apollo asked chuckling "Don't worry you secret is safe with me."
"Whatever." Bayley said trying to hide her blushing in the face.
In the ring, Finn and Sasha, and Zack and Charlotte meet face to face in the ring.
"Sasha, I will prove once again that I am better than you!" Charlotte cockily states.
"In your dreams, Charlotte. I got a pretty damn good partner and we are heading straight to the finals!" Sasha retorts.
"Please! He may be better than this loser that I am stuck with, but I'm going show you that nothing can stop me, even an inept partner." Charlotte states.
"Whoa! Like I'm right here, Char. That kinda hurts." Zack replied.
"Just shut up and get ready." Charlotte snapped at Zack.
"Well, best of luck, brother." Finn said as he and Zack fist bump.
"You too bro!" Zack replied just before he went out onto the apron. Zack looks back behind him, where Principal McMahon and Seth are giving him a look that makes him feel uneasy.
Mr. Snow blows the whistle as Sasha and Charlotte start things out brawling with each other. It's an evenly contested bout between these two ladies with some personal animosity with each other. Charlotte starts to gain the upper hand keeping Sasha down, but The Boss doesn't go down that easy keep getting back up each time she is knocked down. Sasha then mounts a comeback against Charlotte, causing her to retreat to the corner, where she makes the TAG! Zack enters the ring and as a result of the rules, Finn enters as well. Zack and Finn go at each other with everything they got, but Zack slips up and misses a boot to Finn, who counters it with a slingblade! Finn pins Zack for the win. The whistle blows ending the contest.
"Here are your winners, Finn Balor, and Sasha Banks." Mr. Snow shouts out as Sasha enters the ring for her and Finn's hand to be raised.
"Nooooo! Noooooo! This is not happening!" A eccentric Charlotte shouts out as she enters the ring.
"Charlotte, don't be a sore loser. You lost so just take this L and deal with it!" Sasha says.
"I will do no such thing! I lose because of this idiot! This loser! How could you do this to me? Moron! Charlotte says snapping at a deflated Zack sitting on the mat with his head down.
"Good jod, kid. You doing wonders so far." Mr. Snow tells a confused Finn.
"Finn! We did it! We won!" Sasha states to a distracted Finn looking down at Zack.
"Ye- Ye- Yeah. We…..won." Finn says as he can't help but take his eyes off Zack looking away from him.
"What's the matter? I thought you'd be more stoked?" Sasha asked concerned.
"No, no, no, I am, but I'm just…. I don't get it. That wasn't even my strongest move yet he didn't kick out." Finn said as he watches Zack exit the ring holding his head.
"Well, maybe you put a lot of force behind it that he wasn't able to." Sasha replied.
"I don't know. This doesn't feel right." Finn said as he hops out of the ring, running up to catch up to Zack. "Zack!"
"Bro! Congrats on getting the dub! Man, you really are something fierce." Zack said grinning.
"How come you didn't kick out?" Finn asked Zack.
'What?" Zack confusingly asked.
"That wasn't one of my strongest move. So you should have kicked out." Finn tells Zack.
"Bro… It's…..I…...You see…" Zack pauses trying to find the right words. He glances over to see a smiling Seth Rollins and Principal McMahon. "Bro, my head got really rocked, man. I gotta go see the doctor. I'll catch up with you later." Zack left in a hurry. Apollo walks up next to Finn raising an eyebrow.
"Finn, is everything cool?" Apollo asked.
"I'm not really sure." Finn replied.
"I was really intrigued seeing you two go at it, but I'm not sure why he didn't kick out." Apollo stated.
"So, it's not just me. I thought it felt strange that he didn't kick out as well." Finn stated.
"I mean the move looked nice but it didn't seem enough to knock someone out, at least someone of Zack's statue. I mean he's pretty tough but to see him go down like that? Something doesn't feel right. Where he run off to? Apollo asked.
"Said he was going to the Doc's office. His head was hurting him bad he told me before he just ran off." Finn stated.
"Well, hopefully, he's ok. Let's get back because the next match is already beginning." Apollo said as he and Finn head back to the sidelines to watch Braun Strowman and Mandy Rose take on Aleister Black and Ruby Riott. "This outta be a good one.
"I've been hearing about this Aleister Black kid. They say his kicks are really sharp and brutal. He has real educated feet?" Finn asked.
"Yeah! The guy can get his leg up so high he can kick your head off! You should have seen him go up against Joe. Too bad Naomi got hurt and as a result, Black and Joe couldn't finish it as they wanted." Apollo said with a bit of excitement in his voice. "It'll be interesting to see how he'll get by Braun."
In the ring with the match already underway, Aleister Black tries his best to bring the big kid, Braun down, but Braun's impressive size and strength is too much as he crushes Aleister Black, pinning him and ending the bout in mere seconds.
"Here are your winners, Braun Strowman, and Mandy Rose" Mr. Snow shouts out as he goes to grab Braun's hand to raise it, but the monster swipes his arm away glaring at the ref teacher.
"Wow!" Finn said.
"You have to go up against that? You sure you can take him on?" Apollo asked.
"Yeah. I'm definitely looking forward to it. He looks like he'll be a problem and that's exactly what I want. He'll be a challenge for sure." Finn says as he stands up and he and Braun lock eyes in a staredown.
"Braun will crush puny Class J!" Braun shouts as he walks by Finn and Apollo.
"We'll see about that big guy." Finn said with a smile on his face. Mandy Rose walks up to Finn caressing her finger on his chest.
"Oh, Finn! He's not the only thing you'll see." Mandy said as she blows a kiss at him before walking off.
"Ok.: Finn said with no emotion.
"Dude, what is it with you and all the girls?" Apollo asked.
"What are you talking aobut? Finn asked confused.
'Nevermind." Apollo said shaking his head grinning.
"Wait, I just thought about something. If I and Sasha will face them, then who will the winner of the next match face in the next round?"
"Oh, you didn't hear? Principal McMahon is granting the winner of this next match a bye to the finals. So, if you, by some miracle can take down that beast, then you'll face the winner of this match up next.
In the ring, Baron Corbin meets AJ Styles and Alexa Bliss face to face. Bayley is standing on the apron, per Baron's orders.
"What's the matter, Bayley? Are you scared of me? Well, you should be." Alexa shouts out at Bayley.
"No, I told her to stay there. No women will be getting involved in anything I do. This will be between us boys as all things should be." Corbin states.
"Excuse you? I'll have you know that as student body president of Class J, I find your remarks to be sexist and disrespectful. I'll be sure to report them to Principal McMahon and make sure you are dealt with." Alexa replies.
"Whatever. Just shut your trap and get out of here. This will be over with quick anyway." Corbin states while smirking.
"Yeah, Alexa, you heard the man. This will be over with quick. So quick that you won't even have to break a sweat and neither will I." AJ says as Alexa goes out onto the apron.
"You're so dead!" Corbin replies as Mr. Snow blows the whistle and the contest is underway.
Styles and Corbin go at it and AJ showcases his dominance by being quick and agile. Styles outwrestles Baron Corbin the majority of the match and proves to be too much for Baron to handle as he shockingly tags in Bayley. Shocked, but excited, Bayley enters the ring feeling hot as she takes it to Alexa Bliss. Alexa barely gets in any offense as Bayley dominates her for the majority of the match. Bayley has Alexa down where she wants her and decides to go to the top rope and flies with a diving elbow drop, but Alexa moves out of the way, causing Bayley to crash her elbow straight onto the mat. Bayley rolls around the ring wincing in pain. Mr. Snow checks on her to see what her condition is. Mr. Snow concludes that Bayley is too hurt to carry on and blows the whistle ending the bout.
"As a result of a stoppage and moving on to the finals, your winners, Alexa Bliss, and AJ Styles." Mr. Snow shouts as he goes back to check on Bayley. Alexa and AJ smile as they'll content on how they got the win. Baron Corbin, however, isn't too happy as he stands over Bayley glaring at her.
"You idiot! See, this is exactly why I didn't want a woman to be my partner. Just look at you! You're pathetic!" Corbin shouts at Bayley, who clutches onto her arm. "Why did I get stuck with such a loser? Huh?
"Hey! Leave her alone! She's been through enough already." Sasha shouts as she comes to Bayley's aid checking on her. "Bayley, are you ok?"
"Why don't you mind your own business?" Corbin says to Sasha. "This bitch cost me this tournament because she's so fragile and weak. How in the world is she in Class ME? I thought that was the elite class, but I can see that at least every class has a weak one in them! Corbin continues to berate Bayley up until someone taps on his shoulder. Corbin turns around and it is Finn staring at him just before he knocks Corbin out.
"That's not how you talk to a lady!" Finn says as he goes to see how Bayley's doing. "You ok?"
"Ummm….I….Er… I think I'll be ok- ouch! Bayley says wincing in pain.
"You need to go to the doctor's office. I'll carry you there." Finn says as he exits the ring and carries Bayley in his arms. Bayley's red in the face from blushing.
"Oh my! Wow!" Bayley said with a little smile on her face. "Gee thanks Finn!"
"No problem. That guy was such a jerk and needed to be put in his place." Finn says as he carries Bayley off to the doctor's office. Mandy Rose eyes Bayley being carried off by Finn shaking her head with disgust.
"Ugh! She's such a bitch!" Mandy said to herself as she storms off heading towards the locker room. As Mandy goes towards the locker room, she sees Becky Lynch going into the room. Mandy eases up to the door, slowly cracking it half-open. Mandy spots, Becky greeting Seth, who's standing before Braun.
"Hey, babe!" Seth says as he kisses Becky.
"Hey, so what's going on?" Becky asked.
"Ehh just going over the plan with, Braun." Seth stated.
"Plan?" Becky asked.
"Yeah the plan to deal with that piss, Finn Balor once and for all." Seth says.
"Oh yeah that guy's been the talk of the school. I hear he's planning on challenging us to Wargames?" Becky asked. "So far he's been looking pretty good. So far he took down two teams, then again he's been taggin with Sasha.
"The first bout was a fluke, but the second one was planned. Principal McMahon told that buffoon Zack to take the job, so Finn can get matched up with Braun.
"Really? Why would he lose on purpose? Becky asks.
"So he can move up a class. He complied thus he is Class J no more." Seth informed Becky.
"So, the plan is to get him to face, Braun, who'll completely destroy him? Babe, this sounds like something you thought of." Becky said.
"What can I say? Ain't I a mastermind?" Seth said grinning.
"And, that's why I love you for it!" Becky said grinning as she plants a kiss on Seth.
"Now, Braun, as I was saying, Principal McMahon wants Finn to be done for. I mean the guy's so small so you can pretty much crush him like a bug. This shouldn't be an issue, right? There's been a buzz about potential wargames, but we can kill all of that with Finn being buried before he can even make the challenge. Can we count on you?" Seth asks Braun who immediately stands up.
"I'll kill that pissant Irish punk!" Braun sated much to the delight of Seth and Becky. Peaking from the outside, Mandy has a terrified look on her face.
"Oh no! Finn! I can't let them do that to you." Mandy whispers to herself as she runs off back into the GYM
