The Zack Mercer Story
Chapter 14: Smackdown After Summerslam
Tuesday, August 23rd, 2016 - Backlash 2016: 19 Days Away - Uncasville, Connecticut
The Smackdown after Summerslam was set to be a big one. First off with Shane and Bryan introducing the brand's very own Tag Team and Women's Championship. Tonight was also a big one for none other than one of the WWE's fastest rising superstars, James McGrady AKA Zack Mercer who was walking around Mohegan Sun Arena dressed in black jeans that he had sagging down a bit with a black belt with a skull as the buckle. He also had suede boots as he wore a black denim vest. He also had black necklace with a silver charm on it that had his daughters name with her birthday. He also had a silver bracelet on right wrist with a watch on the same wrist.
"Okay, So I'm guessing you're rocking it without a shirt." He heard someone say making him turn around to see his so called girlfriend, Lexi Kaufman. He smiled and chuckled as he turned around to look at his Five Feet of Fury.
"Yeah, I know you like it." He said as he pointed towards his abs as she smiled while she walked towards him.
"I do. So did you think about what I said?" She asked him as she placed a hand on his abs and then moved her hands to his pecs.
"I did and I think I want to give a shot. I've been waiting so long for us to finally become something so I want to do it right." He said as he placed a hand over her hand that was on his pecs.
"So how about tonight after the show we have ourselves a night to us. We can order a pizza, watch a movie and afterwards we can have some desert. And I do mine Oreo flavored ice cream." She said as she stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck. She leaned up and gave him a very passionate kiss on his lips as they both smiled in the kiss that is until Lexi pulled away leaving him wanting more. His hands had traveled down
"I like the sound of that. And I would love to stand here with you and do this but I have to go and drink some beer and kick some ass. See you out there." He said as he gave her a goodbye kiss and stepped to the side before he walked away from Lexi but not before giving her a light smack on her ass making her turn around and watch as he walked away with a hand on her butt.
"I swear that man get sexier and sexier everyday." She said to herself as she watched her man walk away.
Hours Later - Smackdown Live Locker Room
James sat in the locker room with his feet in a chair as he was in the locker room by himself. He loved being in the locker room alone. It allowed him to gather his thoughts which was something he could never do in a locker room full of people. He could sit and think to himself with no interruptions.
He sat there watching as Shane McMahon introduced the new Smackdown Live Tag Team Championships and the Smackdown Live Women's Championship. He had to admit to himself that he didn't like the idea but it was the company's decision not his. If they wanted to do so they had the ability and there was nothing that he could do stop it. And that's the bottom line cause-, well you know the rest.
James leaned to the side and grabbed his beer bottle before he took a sip. The beer was supposed to be used as a part of his gimmick but he took it as more than just something he would use for work. Just then Heath Slater came through the crowd with a microphone which was James' cue to turn into Zack Mercer.
Minutes Later - Smackdown Live Arena
"Daniel, I am not a wom-" Heath was saying but he cut off by a certain theme music.
"Bully" Hits
All the fans in the arena cheered loudly as Zack walked through the curtain onto the stage with the beer bottle in hand. He looked around at the arena as he took a sip of the beer. Before he smiled and walked down the ramp. He slapped the hands of the fans before he walked over a bald man and gave him a waterfall of his beer before he walked over to the steel steps and walked onto the apron. He was handed a microphone by the stage crew before he entered the ring.
"Bully" Stops
"Uncasville, How you doin?" He asked into the mic causing the fans to cheer a lot louder. Zack smiled before he walked over to Alexa and handed her his beer bottle.
"Do me a favor and hold this toots." He said to Alexa and gave her a wink causing some more of the fans to go crazy.
"Now before I get onto this tranny. Let me talk about Summerslam. Where I was victorious is kicking Murphy's ass and I teamed up with this beautiful woman right here." He said as he walked over to Nikki Bella and placed his arm over her shoulders. He looked around at the arena once more before he was taken by surprise when Nikki gave him a kiss on the cheek. Zack held in a mouth in a surprise like O until he walked away from Nikki Bella but not before giving her a wink.
"Now onto you. You punk rock reject. You walk around here talking about how you deserve a contract and how you would have beaten me before. But let me tell you something, you've never beaten me before. As a matter of fact. You haven't gotten close. I beat you in my debut match here on Smackdown Live and I beat you several times after that. I came out here to shut your ass up because I don't think anybody paid the price of a ticket to see you talk around here. I think they paid the price to see me, Mr. Tuesday Night kick some ass around here." Zack said into the mic until he stuck it up in the air as the fans cheered loudly.
"Zack you-" Heath was saying but Zack cut him off.
"Huh?" Zack said in the mic.
"You-" Heath said but was once again cut off.
"Huh?" Zack said once more.
"I-"
"Huh?" Zack said. Heath opened his mouth but Zack cut him off by saying it once more as the fans caught onto his catchphrase.
"You know what?" Heath said as he walked towards Zack and tried to slap him across the face but he caught his hand. Heath looked at Zack shocked while Zack smiled while he turned his head to Alexa.
"Did he honestly try to slap me?" Zack asked into the mic as he looked around at the other tag teams and the womens superstars. Zack kicked Heath in his groin area with a low blow causing Heath to drop down to his knees. Zack walked over to Alexa.
"Here take this toots and I'll take this." He said as he exchanged the beer bottle with a microphone. He walked over to Heath and smash the beer bottle over his head causing him to drop down on his back knocked out from impact. Zack kneeled down and looked at Heath Salter with a sadistic smile before he stood back up.
He walked over to Alexa and took the microphone from her.
"I hate to kick ass and dash but it seems to you got everything under control now. So I'm leave you to guys to it. And by the way my money's on Nikki." Zack said as he dropped the mic before he exited the ring.
"Bully" Plays
Zack walked up the ramp while the fans cheered once more at Mr. Tuesday night. His back was towards the ring until he reached the stage. He turned around and did his pose as the watched as several camera's flashing could be seen.
Minutes - Backstage
Zack could be seen walking through the back with his head held high with a smile as he thought about how he kicked Heath Slater's ass. He was walking until he reach a stop once he saw none other than the WWE Intercontinental Champion, The Miz with his wife, Maryse. He turned his head to see The Miz kissing up on his wife.
"Wow so this is what An A-lister Champion does. They stand around here kissing up on a French-Canadian Barbie." Zack said as he walked towards The Miz who looked at Zack Mercer now with a look of annoyance.
"At least, I've been a champion. And champions defend their titles which I have successfully done at Summerslam now get lost." Miz said as he turned back to his wife.
"Well seeing as that I won my match at Summerslam and you won your match. I say we got out there to the ring and we show the people who the true winner really is. And you can prove to them that you're not a paper champion." Zack said as he folded his arms.
"I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I am the most must see WWE Intercontinental Champion in history. If anything I've proven that I'm not a paper champion." The Miz said.
"Really? The only thing you've proven is that your nothing more than an emotional lesbian who's afraid of a little competition. But that's okay." Zack said as he prepared to walk away from The Miz but The Miz put a hand on his shoulder causing him to spin around and face the Miz.
"Look here Kid. I hope you know what you're doing because you just earned yourself the ass kicking of a lifetime. Next week on Smackdown Live you're getting yourself a Intercontinental Championship match. Be ready next week." Miz said as he got into Zack's face. Zack prepared to walk away before he stopped.
"Oh and Watch it Bitch." Zack said.
"Watch wha-" Miz was saying before Zack hit him the Ace of Spades (Superkick) causing Miz to hit the ground and the Intercontinental Championship to drop down to the ground. Zack looked down at Miz before he walked away.
A/N: So this wasn't a good chapter but it was something that I just wanted to put out there. It's pretty much setting up for next Smackdown. And the whole Heath Slater and Zack Mercer thing is a callback to the first sort of rivalry that Zack had. Anyway let me know what you think with a review. And yes I am aware that James had missed Lexi's birthday. That's actually something that will come to play next chapter.
This is the ZackAttack signing out!
Peace!
