The Zack Mercer Story

Chapter 5: Tagging with Nikki

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2016 - Summerslam: 2016: 19 Days Away - Nashville, Tennessee

Lexi sat at a round table in the catering area texting Matthew on her cell phone. They haven't talk to each other in a few days but they have been texting each other a lot recently. By texting each other, she meant her texting him and not getting any answer. She was quiet there while all the other girls around the table were talking about whoever and whatever they wanted to. All sitting at the table were Lexi, Trinity, Rebecca, Nicole, Natalie and Leah.

"He's too arrogant and aggressive in the ring." Trinity said. Lexi put her phone down and decided that she would join the conversation that was on the topic of her best friend.

"I think that's one of the things that makes him hot. Besides he has one of the best bodies in Smackdown, If not then the best. And maybe the best body in WWE." Nikki said.

"A body better than John's? Never thought I would ever hear you say that." Natalie said.

"And he's a nice guy. One time in NXT, I had lost my phone backstage and he searched high and low for my phone." Rebecca.

"Yeah, He is. I have this thing called Lexi's rules. I use it whenever we're on the road and it gets him to do whatever I want him to." Lexi said.

"It works?" Leah asked.

"Yeah it does but that's only for the road. When he's driving he doesn't like to make that many stops but anywhere else he definitely does anything I ask him to." Lexi said.

"And don't forget he's great in the ring." Nikki said.

"Yeah I feel like I'm watching Shawn Michaels when I watch him. And he doesn't actually try to be like him unlike a certain man that we know." Natalie said sending Nikki a look. Nikki rolled her eyes as she remembered a certain ex-boyfriend of hers.

"Okay here he comes." Trinity said looking back to see James coming around the corner dressed in his same black ring trunks with a short sleeve t-shirt now with black wrist tape on his wrist. James had his hair tied up in a messy man bun. James walked over to the table that Lexi was at.

"Hey Lex, Have you heard from Cassie?" James asked.

"Drew, Sweetie, Why would I hear from your girlfriend?" Lexi asked. James closed his eyes and sighed as he ran a hand through his hair.

"I don't know why I asked. I'm just freaking out a little bit, I haven't heard from my girlfriend so I'm kinda worried." James said.

"Same here."

"By the way, Hey girls." James greeted everyone. All the girls waved at him except Lexi who started to text on her phone again.

"Cute man bun by the way." Leah said looking up at his hair.

"Thanks Leah. How are things with Will?" He asked.

"There alright I guess. We've been kinda stressed because of the split. We can't see each other like we want too anymore so."

"Alright. Hopefully they'll get better. Everyone needs love and I think you two are made for each other in my opinion." He said to Leah.

"Sorry I can't stay and chat but I have a mixed tag team match to go get ready for. Stay ready Nicole." He said as he pointed to Nikki. He then walked away while he took his hair down from it's male bun style so it can flow down his shoulders.

"Mixed Tag Team Match?" Lexi asked.

"Yeah I'm making my return tonight helping Andy win tonight." Nikki said.

"A storyline already?" Trinity asked.

"Well I guess it's right he never really got that many storylines in NXT." Rebecca.

"Still a storyline already?" Natalie said.

Zack Mercer walked out onto the stage with entrance video being the only the video on in the arena while all the lights were currently off within the arena. He raised his index fingers and middle fingers up in the air as the lights of the arena came back on and began going back and forth between a blue and white lights.

Once he reached the ringside area he looked around at the walked around the ringside area to the ring and got up onto the ring apron similar to the Miz's style. He held onto the middle rope while he raised up his index finger and middle finger with his other hand. He got up to his feet and entered the ring before went over to the turnbuckle and did his pose over again while the fans cheered loudly.

"Bully" Stops

He jumped down from the ropes and walked towards the center of the ring requesting a microphone.

"Nashville, How you doin?" Zack said into the mic while the fans were cheering loudly.

"I'm sure you all heard Greg announce that this match is an mixed tag team match. And as you can see these two asshats are teaming up with each other. And if you have a brain then you know that "The Ace of Spades" is standing out here alone at the moment. But let me make one thing perfectly clear to all of you Smackdown Live fans. Zack Mercer is not alone." He stated into the microphone.

"My tag team partner is someone you all know. She's someone you all love. She's someone who you can look at but you can't touch." He said into the mic while the fans started to cheer.

"Oh yeah, She's a good friend of mine. And she's fearless. Ladies and Gentlemen, my tag team partner is none other than the one and only. Nikki Bella!" Zack exclaimed into the mic as he began to point at the stage with both of his index fingers.

"You Can Look (But You Can't Touch)" by Kim Sozzi and Jim Johnston Hits

The fans in the arena all got up on their feet and started to cheer for Nikki Bella who walked out onto the stage with a smirk on her face. She did her famous Bella twirl before she started to walk down the ramp. She ripped her shirt apart in half and threw it into the crowd.

"And his tag team partner from Scottsdale, Arizona. Nikki Bella!" Hamilton announced.

She walked around the ringside area and jumped up onto the ring apron while her tag team partner was seen in the corner taking it all in now shirtless. She walked to the center of the ring apron and took off her hat throwing it into the crowd. She did the Bella flip into the ring and raised a finger up at the ceiling. The fans died down while she walked over to Zack Mercer. She gave him a hug while he did the same to her.

Nikki Bella and Deonna circled around the ring once more but Deonna had ducked Nikki who went for an collar elbow tie up. Deonna ran over and tagged in Oney Lorcan. Nikki Bella tilted her head to the side and looked at Deonna who was laughing now at Nikki. Oney entered the ring and pointed at Zack Mercer talking trash about him while Mercer simply chewed on his gum. Nikki Bella backed up into the corner and tagged in Zack Mercer.

Mercer backed away from Lorcan into the opposite corner.

He smiled at her as he tagged her in the match now. Lorcan rolled over to his feet and crawled over to his corner while Nikki Bella had leaned up into the corner waiting for Lorcan to tag in Purrazzo.

Minutes Later - Backstage

James and Nicole finally walked backstage to see John and Lexi standing there along with the cast of Total Divas with Camera man around. Lexi stood out of the direction of the cameras on her phone while Nicole hugged John as the camera started to film.

"You did a good job." John said as he hugged Nicole.

"Thanks john. I couldn't have done it without Andy." Nicole said as she and John broke the hug up to hug to Andrew who had a shocked look on his face.

"This was all you Nicole. Not me." James said as he and Nicole broke the hug.

"But thanks anyway for tagging with me." Nicole said.

"Your welcome. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go. So see ya." James said as he walked away from Nicole who stood with John and the cast of Total Divas with the camera's rolling. James stood beside Lexi who looked up at him.

"I came up with a plan."

"A plan for what?"

"Our loved one."

"And that plan is?"

"We're going to NXT."

A/N: So I hoped that you guys enjoyed this Chapter.

I'm thinking about doing a Captain America/Agents of SHIELD crossover SYOC. It's gonna be called Bloodline and the storyline has to do with Steve Rogers not being trapped within a iceberg and a 3rd Generation Captain America. So if you're interested or you want to know more please PM me or leave a review for this story. If not then I won't write it and I'll focus solely on this story. I don't want to take time away from this story to do something that you don't like. I'd rather do something you guys love than do something you don't like.

Anyway onto the story, So Lexi and Andrew are going back to down to Full Sail University. What does this mean for their relationships? Speaking of Relationships, I will be doing the Nikki Bella/Zack Mercer thing and Andrew McGrady/Lexi Kaufman thing. And thank you for the Guest for leaving the idea, your idea will be used and that's a promise. Anymore ideas post them in the reviews. Anything else post it in reviews. Opinions do matter to me, if you don't like something I did please tell me and I'll try to fix it but if it's something like I don't like Character sorry I can't fix that.

Another thing is vote between Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins for a live event match I plan on doing.
