The Zack Mercer Story
Chapter 20: Backlash 2016 Part 2
Sunday, September 11th, 2016 - Backlash - Richmond, VA
Lexi sat in the back with all of the girls in the catering area watching the match that James was in. She wanted her man to win the match and retain his title. In a short amount of time, James had become glued to that title and she could see it in his eyes and not only his eyes but his body. Over the past week his entire attitude changed. His workout's had gotten more intense and his wrestling style had changed.
In the Ring
Zack laid on his back in the ring with Miz lying on his front. Zack backed up to the corner as he grunted while his shoulder had started to act up. He pulled himself up to a knee as he continued to grunt.
"Come on Miz. Come on." Zack said as he pulled himself up and started to stomp on the mat like one of his idols, HBK. Zack stomped down on the ring mat as the fans cheered loudly and started to clap along while Miz got up to his groggily before he turned around. Zack walked over to Miz and prepared to kick him in the jaw but Miz ducked it and set up Zack for the Skull Crushing Finale. Miz put Zack down on his face with the Skull Crossing Finale. Miz quickly into the cover.

Thr-No, Kick Out before the 3 by Zack Mercer as the fans cheered at his resilience while Miz backed up back-first into the turnbuckle while Maryse was giving Miz a pep talk to keep him motivated. Miz turned his head and looked at Zack with a look full of frustration. Miz walked towards Zack quickly and then mounted over him and started to go to town on the head of Zack Mercer once more. The fans booed Miz who got off of Zack and then started to talk trash to a stunned Zack. Zack lifted himself up and backed up till he was backfirst onto the turnbuckle.
Miz walked towards Zack and started to stomp down on him in the corner before he put his foot on the throat and started to choke Zack.

4, The Miz lifted his foot and walked away from Zack. This allowed Zack to lifted himself up in the corner. The match had turned into a full on out assault on Zack. That is until Zack had moved out of the way when Miz attempted his trademark Mizline in the corner. Zack dropped down on the mat on his front while Miz dropped down on his back after colliding with the turnbuckle. Zack panted for his breath while the fans started to clap trying to get Zack into it while Maryse was looking at her husband screaming for him to get up. Zack groaned as he crawled towards the ropes while Miz had rolled outside of the ring. Zack pulled himself up with a grimace on his face. He looked to see The Miz leaning up against the barricade. Mercer shrugged his shoulder before he backed up into the ropes and ran towards the ropes sliding through the top and middle rope to push Miz backup against the barricade.
The fans were cheering now as it felt like Zack was giving Miz everything that he had and was planning on continuing to do so. Zack who had landed on his feet grabbed The Miz and threw him into the ring. Zack got up onto the ring apron and walked towards the turnbuckle.
Zack climbed the turnbuckles slowly as the fans started to cheer for Zack who snapped his head back as his hair went to the back of his head. Zack stood up on the top rope before jumping off and attempting a Frog Splash on the Miz. The Miz put both of his knees up causing Zack's gut to collide with The Miz's knees. Zack got up to his feet with a hand on his abdomen area. This allowed Miz to get up to his feet and put Zack into a Belly-to-Back Suplex-like hold.
Zack flipped over reversing the move and put Miz in a similar hold. Zack lifted Miz up only to drop him down with a Sit-Out facebuster that Zack rolled over into a pinning like hold.

2, Kick out at 2 by The Miz. Zack got up to a knee while he looked at The Miz. He ran his hands through his hair as he got up to his feet. Zack started to clap trying to get the fans to start clapping along with him. The fans clapped as Zack stood behind The Miz waiting for him to get up to his feet. When Miz got up to his feet, Zack put Miz into the hold of the Skull Crushing Finale. Maryse hopped up onto the ring apron and took off the turnbuckle pad before she jumped down. Miz somehow broke out of the hold and hit Zack with a back elbow making him stumble back before he was whipped into the exposed turnbuckle. Zack's head collide with the exposed turnbuckle as he somehow started to trip on his way to the corner. Miz took this opportunity to roll Zack up with a School Boy Roll Up while he pulled on the tights.

"I Came To Play" Hits
"Here is your winner and the new WWE Intercontinental Champion: The Miz!" Greg Hamilton announced while The Miz had rolled out of the ring and hugged by his wife. Maryse placed a kiss on the cheek of Miz while the referee had quickly ran around the ring and handed Miz the Intercontinental Championship.
Zack had backed up back-first into the bottom turnbuckle. He looked at The Miz with a look of disappointment on his face while he tore off the wrist tape. The Miz raised up the Championship while he walked up the ramp raising the Championship while his wife raised his arm in victory.
A/N: So I hoped you enjoyed the match even though it wasn't long. I'm trying to practice typing out longer matches so it's a process. I know this wasn't the result many people were hoping for but look on the brightside Zack can become a 2-time IC Champion. I'm asking that you people please go to TheReborn-Ced's (TheLegendaryCed) profile and vote on the poll. It's a poll on whether or not he should bring back Alexander Andrews. Please vote yes because that is one of my favorite OCs by my cousin besides his main OC, Ced who is actually one of my favorites as well.
I'm kidding vote whatever you want. And please don't forget to RFF on his story The Journey (Review, Favorite, Follow).
This is the ZackAttack signing out!
Peace!
