The Zack Mercer Story

Chapter 19: Backlash 2016 Part 1

Sunday, September 11th, 2016 - Backlash - Richmond, VA

The past few days had been rough for the WWE Intercontinental Champion and Lexi. James had tried to get his sister to talk but she hasn't said a word in the past 4 or 5 days. Because of that, he felt like his sister was still dead to him almost. It's like faking her death changed her. I mean it was something that would affect most people but James thought not like that. Not only that but Lexi hasn't talked to him ever since the thing with Nikki happened. Speaking of Nikki, she hadn't reached out to him either and that was one thing he couldn't handle. Not having either Nikki or Lexi to talk to was hell. And Lexi left on the road with one of her friends and his sister had stayed in his hotel room that he got in the town.

James walked into the arena dressed in his black jeans with a red flannel shirt that had all the buttons buttoned up with "Triple Black" Air Huaraches. On his right wrist he had silver watch with his necklace. His hair was up in a messy man bun while he walked as he had his apple earbuds within his ear listening to Russ.

Once he reached the locker room he looked around to see John Cena walking towards him. James sighed as he took out his earbuds and decided to jog towards Cena. He had promise to keep to Nikki.

"Hey John. You mind if I talk to you?" James said as he approached Cena.

"Sure man. James is it? I know Nicole calls you Andy?" John said with a friendly smile. James didn't know what it was but John just had this sort of aura around him. An aura that only Legends could have and it was the type of aura that James one day felt to have.

"It is James. I actually wanted to talk to you about Nicole." James said.

"Okay what's up?" John asked as he looked at James with a look of concern.

"Nikki wants a baby man. I know she's talked to you about it and I know you said no. I'm trying get you to say yes because it's one of the greatest feelings in the world. Holding a little baby that you can say is yours and having something that you can love forever. And you know that every time they look at you, they don't see the mistakes that you've made. They see a hero. They look at you and they see something or someone who they want to be like in their future. Man it's the best feeling in the world. Anyway man I'm gonna go got to get ready." James said as he patted John on the back before walking away.

Hours Later - Backstage

James sighed deeply as he walked through the hallways of the arena dressed in his ring gear. He had white tights tiger scratches on the sides in the American flag like design with a white outline. On the back of the tights there were two huge stars in a American flag pattern with a white outline that started at the tights at ended on the lower knee portion with two miniature stars on each side of each point. On the back of the tights there was Mercer in a American flag pattern with a white outline in an old english font. He also had black knee pads with a Z in old english font in an American flag pattern with a white outline with black kick pads with a white outlining the padding of the kick pads with straps on the sides of the kick pads. He had white wrist tape on his wrist.

The Intercontinental Championship was around his waist while he had a black vest with his ring name in old english on the back in the pattern of the American Flag with a white outline.

He looked around as he saw the catering table that the girls would usually be full was empty. This caused him to frown before he kept walking towards the gorilla position. When he got there he saw it was full with the females who were gonna be part of the 6-Pack Challenge. Even though he and Lexi were going through there phase he still walked towards her with a smile. She had her back to him talking to Leah who looked up at James and gave a friendly smile as she backed away this left Lexi confused until James wrapped his arms around Lexi and gave her a kiss on the top of her head.

"Look, I know you don't want to talk to me but I need you to know that I love you and I want you to go out there. And steal the show but not too much cause I got to go out there." James said as he gave Lexi another kiss on the top of her head before he let go of her. He turned around and walked from the girls but not before yelling: "It's showtime ladies".

Lexi turned around and watched as her man walked away with a smile.

"I swear, I can't stay mad at that man." Lexi said.

Minutes Later - Backlash Ringside Area

"Bully" Hits

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 red, blue and white lights.

"Richmond, How you doin?" Zack asked as he walked to the right side of the stage and pointed into the crowd while he patted his belt. He then turned around and walked to the left side of the stage and pointed into the crowd. He walked back to the center stage and looked around in the crowd before he looked down at his belt.

"Let's go it's Mercer Time baby!" Zack Mercer yelled as he walked down the ramp slapping the hands of the fans in the front row.

In the front row he saw a little boy in the front row wearing his shirt while raising a sign with a Nikki Bella hat. He smiled as he took off his vest and put it on the little boy before he gave him a hug and continued his way down the he reached the ringside area he looked around at the crowd once more with a smile. He 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.

He jumped down from the ropes and walked towards the center of the ring looking at the Miz as he unhooked the Championship from around his waist and raised it up in the air while The Miz and him talked trash to each other.

A/N: I know this is a weird point to end this Chapter but I need to know how am I doing so with this match. I'm trying to earn the nickname that Zack has Mr. PPV so I need to put on a stellar match and if you've noticed Zack has been doing a lot more dives in this match than usual so. Let me know how I'm doing with the match and tell me what things Zack could do to put on a stellar match or improve the match.

This is the ZackAttack signing out!

Peace!
