The Zack Mercer Story

Chapter 17: WTF?! Part 1

Tuesday, September 6th, 2016 - Backlash: 5 Days Away - Lincoln, Nebraska

James was walking backstage with the WWE Intercontinental Championship around his shoulder as he walked around the back dressed in blue faded jeans that were ripped with his classic 6 Inch "Wheat" colored timbs with a white t-shirt and black and red flannel shirt. He had his oily hair flowing down his shoulders

He stopped once he reached the catering area and heard the girls talking around the table. He was smiling before he walked away from the scene to let his girl talk to her friend. She needed some time away from him to be with herself and her friends.

Catering Area

Lexi sat in a chair sitting around the table with her usual. She was smiling ear to ear and the girls knew that there had to be something going on to make her smile that. She hadn't smiled like that in a long time.

"Okay so I called Will yesterday and I picked up nothing but voicemail. I'm worried he's cheating." Leath said as all the girls were looking at her with concern.

"If that Jon had ever done something like that to me. I swear he's sleeping on the couch for a weeks until I decide that I can count on him to answer the phone." Trinity said as Nicole started to laugh at her response.

"John has a problem answering the phone too. I swear I call him like 4 times before he picks up." Nicole said.

"I bet you James picks up immediately." Rebecca teased Lexi who looked up at her and smiled while she twirled a strand of hair. Nicole gasped as she quickly recognized the feeling that Lexi was giving off. It was that feeling you have when you first have sex with your significant other. And in Lexi's case, this wasn't just a significant other. This was what people see as a soul mate.

"You two had sex!" Nicole said excitedly. Everyone in the group started to squeal like teenage girls.

"So how was he?" asked Nattie.

"Let me guess. Godly." Leah and Nicole both said at the same time before they lifted up out of their seat and high fived each other.

"Honestly, I don't know if possible but he was better than that." Lexi said. Suddenly out of nowhere, the man of the hour appeared behind Lexi leaning down to give her a kiss on the forehead.

"Hey lovely ladies. Hey babe. Whatcha guys talking about here?" James asked.

"You babe." Lexi honestly said.

"Oh good my favorite topic." He joked as he put the title on the table and grabbed Lexi by the hand getting her to lift up before he took a place in her seat and then grabbed her hand pulling him down so that she can sit on his lap. The girls looked at the couple and tried to quietly squeal as they watched the new couple embrace each other. They fit into each other in a way.

Lexi wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her head into the nape of his neck.

"Honestly you guys are cute together." Leah said. Lexi smiled while James chuckled. He then did something making damn near all the girls explode with squeals as he kissed her forehead.

"Alright baby, I'm sorry but I got to go. I got to do something with Nick." James said as he picked Lexi up bridal style. He put her down on her feet only for her to jump back up into his arms wrapping her legs around his waist.

"Baby, I got to go. I promise you as soon as I'm done we'll cuddle for as long as you want. Okay baby, I promise." He said. She whined like a little baby as he put her down on both of her feet.

"Okay, Drew. I gonna hold you to your word and don't get hurt out there, I'm gonna wanna do stuff later on." She said as she turned around and bent forward to grab the title putting her rear end in that place making him chuckle. She then turned around and handed him the championship which he took with a smile. He leaned down and gave her a quick kiss.

"I see what you're doing babe. Bye." He said as he then walked away from her giving a wink at Lexi.

"Would you mind if I took your place and did stuff with him?" Leah joked. Lexi sent her a fake glare before looking James way with her eyes following his body.

Minutes Later - Backstage

Zack was walking through the back with the title on his shoulder with the camera filming him in front of him. Zack had a smile on his face that is until he turned his head to see Nikki Bella standing there next to a crate with a smile on her face. The fans cheered when Nikki entered the shot while Zack walked closer to her.

It seemed like the smile that Zack bore seemed to get a lot bigger.

"Hey Nikki." Zack greeted.

"Hey Zack. Once again congratulations on your big Championship win." Nikki said as she patted the Intercontinental Championship.

"Doesn't it look so much better on me than The Miz?" Zack said as he looked at his title while Nikki looked him and down.

"It sure does." She said.

"Well, If it looks good on me with a shirt. Imagine it on me without a shirt." He flirted with her knowing that she loved to look at his body both On-Screen as lovers and Off-Screen as friends.

"How about this you can come to my hotel room later on tonight?" She said as he walked towards him and put a hand on abdomen.

"But what about John?" He asked as he grabbed her hand and started to caress her hand while he looked into her eyes.

"John doesn't pay me any attention anymore. I don't think he loves me anymore." She said as she looked down at the floor. Zack used curled his index finger up and lifted the head of Nikki Bella till she was looking him in the eyes again. He leaned down a gave her a passionate kiss on the lips as he could hear the fans going crazy in the arena. Once they broke the kiss away, he kept the look he had on her eyes.

"Trust me tonight, I'm gonna pay you as much attention as you need." He said in a lower tone trying to seduce Nikki. And Nikki couldn't help but feel the emotions. He winked at her before he walked out of the camera shot leaving Nikk there while she put a finger in her mouth and bit it gently.

Minutes Later - Smackdown Live Ringside Area

"Bully" Hits

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Please welcome the WWE Intercontinental Champion: Zack Mercer!" Greg Hamilton announced as the fans cheered very loudly.

The lights were going off in blue and white. Zack walked out with the title in his hands. He raised the championship title up in the air while the fans cheered for him again but louder. He then walked down the ramp slapping the hands of the fans with his left hand as the fans that were going crazy until he reached the ringside area.

Once he reached the ringside area he looked around at the crowd. He walked around the ringside area to the ring and got up onto the ring apron similar to the miz. He held onto the middle rope while he raised up his title. He got up to his feet and entered the ring before he made his way to the center of the ring where he held up the title while Pyro went off behind him.

Zack smiled as he held his hand out for a microphone as his music faded away.

"Bully" Fades

Zack put the mic up to his mouth but the fans cut him off with their loud cheering. Zack chuckled as he lowered the mic while he looked around. It was crazy to him how quickly he had risen among the ranks. He could officially be known as the WWE's fastest rising star. Of course, he didn't win a world title yet but he still felt like one of the biggest stars.

"I just wanna say Thank You." Zack said in the mic earning more cheers from the fans.

"I wouldn't have kept doing this without each and every single one of you. When I was in NXT, I wanted to quit. I saw no point in doing this if I couldn't win a single championship in NXT but each and every single one of you stood by me in NXT and you told me to keep pushing through it and for that I wanna Thank You." Zack said in the mic as he took the title off his shoulder and kept his eyes on it.

Just then the fans started to chant his last name as he put the title back on his shoulders.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Lincoln, Nebraska, How you doin?" He asked into the mic again making them cheer.

"Now Miz is not here mainly because he's out getting his teeth redid after I kicked some of them down his throat, so let me make this clear. In 5 days at Smackdown Live's first exclusive Pay Per View, Backlash. I will put this title on the line in a rematch against The Miz." He said in the mic.

"Now tonight I have the night off." Zack said in the mic as the fans booed now.

"I'm gonna go in the back and sit around drinking a few Zackweisers and kickback with the Female members of this roster. And Miz, Sorry. Not Sorry." He said as he threw the mic up in the air.

"Bully" Plays

Female Locker Room

Lexi sat on the bench taking off her kickpads as Nicole walked up to her with a towel wrapped around her body and using a towel to dry her hair.

"Hey Lexi, there something I need to ask you about." Nicole said.

"Sure what's up?" Lexi asked looking up at the Fearless One.

"Well, John and I have talk about having kids but of course he doesn't want any but he did tell me that I can have a sperm donor." Nicole said.

"And you want to use Drew as a sperm donor?" Lexi asked. Nicole nodded as Lexi sighed as she looked at the locker before looking back up at Nicole.

A/N: So that happened. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and what do you think Lexi's gonna say to this proposal. Luckily this is only Part 1. I plan on this being a big part because of surprises that will shock everyone.

This is the ZackAttack signing out!

Peace!
