The Zack Mercer Story

Chapter 21: The Fallout From Backlash

Tuesday, September 13th, 2016 - No Mercy: 26 Days Till - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

For the past few days the only thing that was on the mind of the former Intercontinental Champion was making sure that he got his title back. That was on the mind of Zack Mercer. But On the mind of Andrew McGrady, was a completely different story. He wanted his sister back. Sure she traveled on the road with them but if you were in the car you would forget that she was even there. But for the couple of James and Lexi, it was something different. Over the past few days, James had shown Lexi just how serious he can get about wrestling when he spent damn near any little bit of freetime in the gym.

Lexi hated to see her man like this. In NXT he was always like this about a NXT title match even though he had never held the title. Speaking of Lexi, she sat around the round table of Smackdown Live's Women Division who sat around talking about whatever came to mind. And of course like always the topic of couples came up once again.

"Let me tell you what John did. I don't know what James had said to John but he had changed all of sudden. We were sitting in bed watching Raw when he told me that he had thought about having kids. And it was something that I had waited forever to hear. And last night we had some of the most passionate sex that we had ever had before." Nicole said with a smile.

"At least someone over here is getting some." Natalya said as she then chuckled about her own relationship.

"Sadly, It seems I'm suffering from that problem." Lexi said sighing as then looked down at her phone.

"Already?!" Naomi exclaimed shocked by Little Miss Bliss' statement.

"Yeah whenever Drew get's like this he tends to shut everyone off. Recently he's been focused on getting his Intercontinental Championship back and whenever he needs to be focused on something he tends to cut everyone off. It's something that I'm used but not as his girlfriend." Lexi said.

"At least you can get a boyfriend who you can actually be around. I haven't seen Fergal in forever." Becky said. Just as Becky said this a text was sent to Lexi's phone.

==Texting==

DrewwyBear - Hey Lexi, I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for shutting you out. You know how I am when I have my mind set on something. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I booked you a plane ticket to met me at the house. The one in Orlando not the one in Vegas. It's not done yet but that's it for now.

DrewwyBear - Oh and Look behind you.

==Texting Ends==

Lexi turned her head with a smile on her face as she saw her boyfriend wearing the ring tights he wore at No Mercy with his kickpads and knee pads along with black wrist tape. He wore a red shirt with Mercermania in yellow with a black barrier around it.

"Hey baby." He said as he held his arms wide. Lexi giggling got up to her feet and jumped up into the arms of her boyfriend who lifted her up.

"You told me that you were going home." Lexi said as James put her down.

"Well, I was one my way down the road when I stopped once I got a call from Shane. He told me that he had an idea and it involved The Miz so I turned my ass back around came here." James explained to her. She leaned up and gave her boyfriend a kiss.

"Well, I'm glad you're here. It's amazing what a Championship can do to a man." Lexi said as she walked back over to her seat.

"Hey Ladies." James said looking around the table.

"Hey Nicole." James said specifically to Nicole as he winked at her.

"Hey Andy." Nicole replied.

"I would love to talk with fine women tonight but I have a Intercontinental Champion to go beatdown." James said. He then leaned down and gave his girlfriend a kiss on the forehead before he walked away. Lexi turned her head and watched as her boyfriend walked away.

Minutes Later - Smackdown Live Ringside Area

The Miz stood in the ring with Maryse as the lights were dimmed down while the ring was set up for Miz TV. Miz was dressed in a suit of course while his wife was wearing a glamorous dress and Miz had the Intercontinental Championship on his shoulder. He had a microphone in his hand as he stood in the ring with a smirk on his face. He put the mic up to his mouth while the fans booed him He opened his mouth to say something but he was cut off by a certain theme music.

"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 blue, red and white lights.

"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.

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.

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

"Bully" Stops

"Philly, How you doin?" Zack asked into the mic as the fans cheered loudly while Miz took off his shades and looked at Zack with a look of disrespect.

"Man I got to give you props Miz. You did it. You gained back your WWE Intercontinental Championship and hell you gave me my first loss on the Main Roster in the process. A trend I hope to not start. But man you did it. Let's give it up for The Miz." Zack said on the mic with a smile as he then started to clap along trying to get the fans to clap but they booed instead.

"It's nice you've finally accomplished something for once in your life." Zack said on the mic as the fans started to laugh.

"Are you done?" Miz asked.

"I'm pretty sure that's what she asked you in bed." Zack said on the mic once more making the crowd cheer as he pointed to Maryse.

"You think you're so funny don't you. You come out here and you run your mouth and make jokes. That's what you do around here isn't it. All you do is make jokes. You made this Intercontinental Championship look like joke. Around your waist it wasn't taken as serious as it should have been taken. But around my waist it's the main championship here on Smackdown Live." The Miz started to rant as Zack backed up and leaned on the ropes.

"I'm glad you find this funny because I find that joke of a career funny." The Miz said on the mic as Zack started to chuckle. That is until he turned to look at the fans. He then kicked Miz in the mouth making him drop the mic and drop the title while the fans cheered.

"Look, I'm gonna take this from you and whenever you're ready you can come take it bitch." Zack said as he then dropped the mic and grabbed the Intercontinental Championship Maryse had tended to her husband. Zack exited the ring and put the title on his shoulder while he walked up the ramp not turning back.

A/N: So I know this isn't along my usual standards but I hope you people still enjoyed it nonetheless. I was really just trying to put something out before I got back to school so you guys have something for when I don't post for the next 2 or 3 weeks.

This is the ZackAttack signing out!

Peace!
