Battleships
Double or Nothing
"Home Sweet Home," Kenny said as he and Cami walked inside his Cottage in Winnipeg. He flew her up so they could go over her creative direction for Double Or Nothing. While it had been confirmed that Lottie would escort Hangman to the ring for his match at the Pay-Per-View, it was still up in the air about what role Cami was playing.
"Wow! This place is nice!" Cami observed the place once she took off her denim jacket and black beanie. She kept her suitcases in front of the front door momentarily.
"It looks so much different than the glimpses you get of it on BTE, right?"
"For sure. BTE doesn't do your place justice." Cami looked out the back door and saw nothing but mountains, much like what she saw in the front yard.
"I'm going to have to take you hiking while you're here so you can get the full mountain experience."
"That sounds like a good time. I'm glad that I brought my tennis shoes with me."
"You don't want to go hiking in those chunky black boots you have on now?"
Cami laughed. "I'm going to pass on that." Cami walked into the living room, Kenny following behind. She sat down on his couch, her right leg tucked underneath her. Kenny sat down in the reclining chair that was beside the side of the couch Cami was occupying.
"What are we going to do with you at Double or Nothing?"
Cami shrugged her shoulders. "I mean if there's nothing for me to do, then I can always sit backstage."
"You could always accompany someone to the ring."
"Who is there for me to accompany?"
Kenny pointed to himself. "Yours truly."
"Wouldn't that be a little weird?"
"I don't think so. We're both in the Elite, so it wouldn't be too weird.."
"I guess. It's going to be a different sight if I'm in your corner instead of Matt and Nick."
"The way I look at: we're all signed to a brand new company, so it's time to change things up a little bit. We all have the same goal - to change the wrestling world. The way to do that is by shaking things up a bit."
Cami nodded. "You make a good point. It wouldn't be expected for me to be in your corner because everyone thinks that Matt and Nick will be in your corner just like in Japan."
"Exactly. My character isn't known for associating with females, so that would be a huge shakeup."
"If you're okay with me accompanying you in your match at Double or Nothing - I would love to."
"Of course I am okay with it. I kind of suggested it after all."
"Fair enough." Cami got out her phone. "Is it okay if I take a video outside your place for mine and Lottie's vlog?"
"Sure."
"Also; would you mind making an appearance?" Cami asked sheepishly.
"I don't mind."
"Great!" Cami put back on her jacket and beanie and walked through the front door. She put the phone front facing her. "Hey, everyone! I am at the most gorgeous place right now." She turned the phone focus onto the mountains nearby for a moment before putting the phone focus back on her. "I also have an awesome guest. He's already made an appearance, but he's so nice that he's appearing twice." Cami put the focus on Kenny.
"Hey, everyone!"
"Thanks for appearing again."
"No problem."
"How's your preparation going for your match against Chris Jericho?"
Cami looked at Kenny as he was responding, "It's going good. I am training hard. Jericho is in for a rude awakening at Double or Nothing."
"You heard from the Omega," Cami stated. "It's Alpha versus Omega II. You don't want to miss it." Cami shut off her phone video mode. "I know I've already said this but, thanks for making an appearance.
"You're welcome." Kenny stood beside Cami on the front porch and looked at the enchanting view in front of them.
Lottie grabbed her laptop and sat down in her favorite swinging, hammock chair in the corner of her bedroom. The taupe wall behind the chair was covered in strands of fairy lights. She had agreed to stay home with the pets while Cami visited Kenny in Winnipeg.
She hadn't seen Adam since the week of the conference in Vegas but they had talked several times. Everyone was busy preparing for the pay-per-view and Lottie and Cami had been working hard doing marketing and media for the company.
She opened up her laptop and logged into skype. She had talked with Adam earlier in the day and they had decided they would have a skype session later that night. She sent him the video chat request and rested her laptop on top of her lap, which was covered with her favorite faux fur blanket.
Her call was quickly accepted and she was greeted with a charming smile. "Hey there."
"Hey. Long time no see."
"I know I am hoping we can change that soon. How is everything?"
"Quiet. With Cami gone I only have the animals to keep me company."
"That's not true. You've got me."
"Sorry, you're absolutely right. But, during the day, without Cami, the house is quiet." She shrugged. She took a sip of the tea she was holding. "What about you? Anything exciting?"
"Not really. Had to talk to the guys for a bit about the pay-per-view, ran some errands, nothing too exciting."
"What exhilarating lives we lead." Lotties teased.
"I heard about you and Cami going on Conan. That's exciting."
"Exciting, how about terrifying?" Lottie laughed. "I will probably make an idiot out of myself on TV."
"I don't think that is possible."
Lottie rolled her eyes at his flirting, "Okay, Charming."
He chuckled. He took a sip out of the whiskey tumbler sitting beside him. "What would you like to do when we get together again?"
"I guess we'll have to wait and see when that is and what's around at the time. I would be fine just going out to lunch again - seeing our last lunch was interrupted." Lottie frowned.
"It's not my fault the Bucks, Cody and Brandi showed up." Adam held up his hands defensively. "They just found us."
"I know it's not your fault." She giggled at his overdramatic response. "I was just saying."
"So a lunch date? "
"Date?" Lottie tilted her head inquisitively.
"Date." He nodded, "If - that's okay?"
Lottie beamed, "That is definitely okay."
He smiled too and she felt her heart skip a beat. "I'll be looking forward to it."
"Me too." He frowned when his phone rang. "It's Nick."
"No problem. I think I am going to grab a nice bath then curl up with a good book and a glass of chardonnay."
"You decided to leave me with that image." He smirked.
"Goodnight, Adam." She rolled her eyes but smirked.
"You too, Lottie. Talk to you later."
She ended the skype call and closed her computer, a radiant smile on her face.
A date with Adam. Now that was something she could look forward to.
Sitting in the back of the SUV taking her and Lottie to the Conan O'Brien show, Cami decided to do a quick scene of her and Lottie for their vlog post-Conan. She put her phone video mode front facing them.
"Hey, everyone! Lottie and I are on the way to Conan O'Brien's show to promote Double or Nothing." She lowered her phone to show off her and Lottie's dresses. "Lottie and I have these cool dresses on. Of course, I had to wear my trusty doc martens." Cami showed off her black sparkly doc martens.
Cami wore a neon yellow long sleeved mini mesh dress with fingerless gloves attached. Her black short hair was down straight. Her hazel eyes popped with the neon yellow and green ombré eyeshadow on the top and bottom eyelid with a small amount of eyeliner on the top and bottom eyelid. Her lips were stained with nude matte lipstick.
Lottie wore a neon pink mini bodycon dress with a deep neckline. Her medium length black hair was in loose curls. Her blue eyes shined brightly with shimmering pink eyeshadow on the top and bottom eyelid. A small amount of winged eyeliner was on her top eyelid. Her lips shined with clear lipgloss.
"Cami is wearing something that doesn't make her related to the Addams family."
"Being a part of the Addams family is my dream."
Lottie rolled her eyes lightheartedly. "I promise we are related."
"See how Lottie treats me? Everyone thinks she's so sweet, but look at her now. She's being mean to her younger sister."
"Cami, you're eight minutes younger than me."
Cami shrugged. "So? It still makes me younger and you should be setting a good example."
"I'm so sorry my dear baby sister," Lottie deadpanned.
"I am the dearest thing aren't I?"
"My dear baby twin is full of personality isn't she?"
Cami nodded and smiled brightly. "I sure and you catch this full of personality on the Conan show."
"We hope you all tune in to see what we have to say." Lottie smiled sweetly. "Thank you to everyone who will be tuning into the snow tonight to support us and AEW."
Cami turned off her phone as the sister's arrived to the studio.
Lottie and Cami stood together, backstage at the Conan show, waiting to be called for their interview.
Lottie tapped her foot as she waited beside her sister, "I am so nervous."
"Don't be nervous. We are going to do great." Cami replied.
Lottie nodded and adjusted the hem of her long-sleeved, neon pink, dress. "Thank you. You're right. We are leading the media for a reason."
"Exactly." The twin sucked in a deep breath when their names were announced. "Here we go."
Lottie linked her arms with Cami's and the duo walked out, waving to the crowd. The fans clapped for the sisters.
Andy moved down for them so they could sit in the chairs closest to Conan. Cami took the seat right beside Conan while Lottie took the seat next to her.
"Welcome to Late Night Ladies!" Conan greeted them as they took their seats.
"Thank you. We are so excited to be here." Lottie crossed one leg over the other. She waved one white, heeled covered foot back and forth as she spoke. She had opted for the chunky heels because she loved the bow and pearl accent. "This is such an exciting time to be a professional wrestler."
"Lottie's right. We are excited to be here and share with you how we, at All Elite Wrestling, plan to change the world." Cami smiled. She sat with her left leg crossed over her right.
"Back in February there was a big press conference to announce AEW's first pay-per-view, Double Or Nothing," Conan paused for a moment and looked straight at the camera, "which is airing this Saturday at 8 PM on Pay Per View." Lottie and Cami both giggled at the plug. He turned his attention back to the twins, "It was at that press conference you both announced you had signed at AEW. What made you decide to sign with AEW?"
"The guys were all looking to do something new and refreshing and we wanted to be a part of that." Lottie smiled.
"Yea. Not to mention the boys are some of our closest friends. Who wouldn't want to change the world with their best friends?" The fans in the audience clapped at Cami's response.
"When did you ladies decide you wanted to be professional wrestlers?" He asked.
"We grew up watching wrestling but we fell in love in our teens. We knew we wanted to go out there and entertain the fans just like all of our favorites entertained us."
"So who is your all-time favorite wrestler?"
"There are so many amazing wrestlers…" Lottie began.
"Just one who really influenced and inspired you both?"
"Chris Jericho." Lottie replied. "He truly is the greatest of all time. He can do anything."
"Chris Jericho and Lita." Cami smiled. "My sister is right. Chris really is the greatest of all time and Lita was a huge inspiration to me as a woman. She was ahead of her time in the business."
"So you must be excited to be working with one of your idols?"
"Ecstatic." Cami confirmed.
"So before we let you go, who is one rising star we should look out for as AEW looks to change the landscape of professional wrestling?" Conan inquired.
"There are so many amazing talents that have signed with AEW." Cami smiled.
"Of Course it would be crazy not to mention our fellow Elite members." Lottie added.
Cami nodded, "Yes. Kenny Omega, Cody, The Young Bucks and Adam Page will definitely take the company by storm."
"There is also Sammy Guevara; he is definitely an up and coming star."
"And Britt Baker and Penelope Ford are strong contenders to be leaders of the women's division." Cami added.
"Definitely, they are very talented ladies." Lottie agreed.
"Thank you for your time ladies."
"Thank you for having us." Lottie beamed.
"Yes, it was a pleasure being on the show." Cami shook Conan's hand.
"Thank you." Conan turned his attention toward the camera. "And remember to check it out this Saturday on Pay-Per-View to see The Young Bucks, Cody, Kenny Omega, Cami and Lottie, Hangman Page, and the rest of the AEW roster battle it out at Double or Nothing."
The fans clapped as the instrumental music played and Cami and Lottie smiled and waved to the audience as the segment ended and it cut to commercial.
Dressed in a black tank top tucked into yellow and black plaid cargo pants with a black studded belt, and faux leather doc martens, Cami was vlogging in the ring with Lottie. They were leaned against the ropes that faced the entrance ramp. "This is it! It's the day of Double or Nothing. I didn't sleep much last night because I am so excited." Cami held up a grande starbucks vanilla latte iced coffee with three shots of espresso . "I am living off of caffeine today. I also don't have on any makeup right now. I feel sort of naked without it." She was makeup free and her short black hair sat down in their natural waves with yellow checkered print sunglasses sitting atop of her head.
"We have an amazing show planned. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets and is going to watch the show at home." Unlike the hot mess her twin was; Lottie wore a tan and black grown plaid dress with black wedge booties. Her makeup was done nicely with neutral colors. Her medium black hair was down in natural fluffy curls and a black fedora sat atop on her head. Lottie held up a tall starbucks iced green tea. "I am more of a tea kind of girl. It soothes me."
Cami saw on her phone, Nick, Kenny, Cody, and Matt coming out of the tunnel and heading to the ring. "Look at who decided to grace us with their presence." Cami put her phone focus on them. "Hey, guys. Say hello!"
All four of them waved. They walked down the ramp and stood at ringside. Cami put the focus back on her and her twin. "These four guys are all EVPs and they're ringside, so I better be on my best behavior."
"I don't have to worry about watching my behavior," Lottie smiled.
"We definitely have to keep a close eye on you, Cami," Matt teased.
"Matt, you're my best friend...you're supposed to be on my side."
Matt defensively raised hands. "It is what it is."
Cami scoffed and exited the ring. "I'm out of here." Everyone laughed at how dramatic Cami was being. She walked backstage. She saw Hangman standing nearby, leaned against a wall. "Hey, Hangman!" Cami put the video focus on him. "Are you ready for Double or Nothing?"
"Hell yeah. I am going to be the winner of the casino battle royal."
"You're going to win the battle royal, Cody, The Bucks, and Kenny are going to win their matches. Tonight's pay-per-view is going to be Elite."
The other members of the Elite came through the tunnel. Matt and Nick came into view, both placing an arm around Cami. "Tonight is the night we can change the wrestling world," Matt said.
"It's going to be an incredible show," Nick stated.
"Cami and Lottie have done a good job promoting the show." Cami heard Cody speak, she put the focus on him. "We're going to work as hard as we can to give an awesome show," Cody promised.
"Kenny do you have anything you want to add?" Cami put the focus on Kenny.
"Uh, thanks to everyone who is supporting us. We are going to give you fans the best possible show."
Lottie came up behind her sister. Cami put the focus back on them. "Tonight is going to be an epic night."
"We have a show to get ready for," Lottie said. She blew a kiss. "See you all later." Cami shut off her phone and went with her sister to get ready for the show.
Lottie was waiting for Adam at Gorilla for the Casino Battle Royal. Only the first group of performers were in the ring.
"Well someone looks like they are ready to accompany a cowboy to the ring." Lottie turned her attention toward the familiar voice.
"Thanks. If I do something, I go all in." Lottie smiled and tugged gently at the front of her cropped denim jacket. She had paired the jacket with a neon pink lace bodysuit and denim cut off shorts.
"Well you look great." Adam stood beside her as the second group went out to join the fray. The compliment earned a blush from the brunette. "I think the fans are going to be excited to see you out there."
"Probably not as excited as they will be when Cami is out with Kenny." Lottie laughed. "That is going to surprise everyone."
"Yea but our segment later will get people talking."
"I hope so. I am a bit nervous to be honest."
"No reason to be nervous. You are going to do amazing." He gave her a reassuring smile.
"Thank you."
They stood in comfortable silence as they waited for Adam's entrance.
When his music hit he made his way out to the ring followed by Lottie. He rushed down the ramp to a large pop from the fans. Lottie followed him down and stood outside the ring to cheer him on.
He slid into the ring and automatically went on the offense, taking down several other competitors. MJF went after Adam, hitting him in his injured knee, but was also taken out. Adam took out Shawn Spears and Jungle boy before meeting up with Joey Janela in the middle of the ring. They began exchanging blows in the center of the ring, much to the delight of the crowd. Janela attempted to take out Page but was taken down with a clothesline and the deadeye. Lottie cheered for Adam outside the ring, clapping her hands enthusiastically. Luchasaurus approached Adam, egging him on, but Romero took out Luchasaurus. Page hit Romero with a kick to the stomach and tried to pick him up for a move but his knee gave out. Lottie stood outside the ring, looking worried.
Lottie made her way around the ring to where Adam had crawled to the ropes to check on him. Lottie yelled at Billy Gunn but backed away, when he began hitting Adam with kicks and stomps in the corner. He ended up in a pile up of wrestlers as the match continued on.
As competitors were eliminated and the ring began to clear, Adam began to stir in the corner. Lottie stood beside him, encouraging him. She clapped her hands as she cheered for him to get up and continue with the match.
Orange Cassidy and Tommy Dreamer stood in the middle of the ring. Cassidy hit him with his lethal kicks as the fans cheered. Dreamer eliminated Cassidy after he did a handless kip up. Havoc eliminated Dreamer and went after Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus as Adam leaned against the turnbuckles in the corner. MJF and Havoc attempted to eliminate Jungle Boy as Adam crawled across the ring. Havoc eliminated Jungle Boy by biting his hands as he clung to the ropes.
This left MJF, Hangman. Havoc and Luchasaurus in the ring. They all stood in the middle of the ring and stared each other down. They all decided to gang up on MJF. They backed him into the corner and started beating him down until he rolled out of the ring.
Luchasaurus went after both Havoc and Page but they ducked. They began to double-team him. Luchasaurus fought back. He hit Adam with a punch that sent him into the corner. Havoc and Luchasaurus continued to battle it out in the middle of the ring until Havoc knocked him down. He then turned his sights on Page but, was meant with a big boot. Adam climbed up on the turnbuckle. Havoc countered and took him down. He set up Adam for the Acid-Rainmaker but Adam countered. Havoc weaseled away and got eliminated by Luchasaurus.
Adam was taking a breather in the corner. Lottie was over checking on him. Luchasaurus called for him to get up and Adampullsed himself up with ropes. The two battled it out and Adam was able to eliminate him.
Adam leaned on the ropes but MJF snuck up behind him and tried to eliminate him. MJF began to celebrate because he thought he took out Adam. Adam stood on the outside apron, waiting for MJF to turn around. He hit the buckshot Lariet much to the delight of the crowd. The crowd roared as Adam hit MJF with a clothesline, sending him flying out of the ring.
Adam fell to the ground, clutching his knee, clearly in a lot of pain. Lottie slid into the ring beneath the ropes and crawled over to check on him. She held onto him as he got to his feet. He stumbled and the ref and Lottie both checked on him. The ref raised his hand in victory but Adam once again fell to his knees. Lottie knelt beside him as he took a moment to rest. He slowly got back up to his feet. Lottie took a step back so he could take a minute to celebrate as the fans cheered for him.
He got out of the ring and the referee offered to help him to the back but he pushed him away. Lottie walked beside him, giving him his space as he made his way to the back.
Adam had changed out of his ring attire and into a pair of blue jeans, his merchandise shirt, and a denim jacket for their segment with Bret Hart and MJF. Lottie was still in her suit from earlier in the show and her hair was still down in loose curls. She stood beside Adam, waiting for their cue to go to the ring.
Bret Hart gave a short speech before calling Adam out to the ring. Adam's music hit and he and Lottie walked out onto the stage. He stood at the top of the ramp as some pyro went off and the fans all cheered for him. Lottie was beside him as they walked down to the ring. He joined Bret in the ring and shook his hand.
MJF's music hit. Adam, Bret, and Lottie all stared up at the ramp as MJF made his entrance. He called for his music to be cut as he stood at the top of the ramp. The fans all started cheering "Asshole." MJF tore into the audience saying they all bought tickets to see him before talking himself up.
He continued on as the fans continued to boo and get rowdy, "And in that ring - Wait Bret a fan's coming up . .. " He joked about a fan tackling Bret Hart at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony before laughing. The fans continued to boo. Lottie rolled her eyes and signaled for a microphone. MJF continued to laugh and talked about how funny he was as a production member handed Lottie a microphone.
"Oh yes, Max you're hilarious. Making jokes about a legend of the business. It doesn't show how insecure you are at all. . . just because there isn't a single fan who would stop to talk to you - seeing no one even knows what your name is . . . let alone risk punishment to be in the same ring with you for three seconds."
MJF glowered at her. "My name is Maxwell Jacob Friedman and I am the biggest rising star of this company." He repeated. "Everyone knows my name but, no one dares come up to me because they know they are beneath me."
All of the fans in the audience booed. MJF turned his attention back to the audience. "What you people really want to boo me? Yea, yea, let me tell you why you nimrods boo me. It's because you're jealous. You are jealous because you are looking at the quintessential future of All Elite Wrestling." "
"The future, Max, The future, really?" Lottie motioned at him with her hand. "No one is jealous of you Max." She ignored MJF as he yelled at her, correcting her for calling him Max, "Everyone just hates your guts." The fans all cheered. "And as for the future, he is standing right here beside me and he is going to be the inaugural AEW champion." She stood beside Adam who nodded. Bret had taken a step back and was leaning against the ropes, watching the segment with an air of amusement and satisfaction on his face. "I can see the future and the future is Elite."
The fans all cheered at the comment at the mention of the other members of the Elite.
"No, Lottie, they are all jealous because they are looking at the future face of this company because God knows the face of this company can't be a horse.
Lottie rolled her eyes at the insult. Adam yelled back at him and the fans all cheered for Adam.
"Oh you guys like that he's a horse huh? Okay let's talk about horsies for a second huh?" You know Hangman, I'm no horse professor but, no matter how strong a race horse is, no matter how fast a race horse is, do you know what happens when they have a bum leg? They become about as useful as every one of these fat, white-trash hicks. So you take them around back and you blow their stupid little brains out." He made his way down the ramp as he spoke getting closer to Adam and Lottie who were standing by the ring ropes.
Lottie made a disgusted face at the comment. "You are one sick little bastard, Max." The fans all cheered. "Even if this stallion has a hurt leg he could still run circles around you in this ring." The fans cheered.
MJF laughed obnoxiously at her comment, "I don't have anything else to say to one of the Elite's poster girl, pieces of arm candy. Be quiet and go back to just being a pretty face - seeing you are barely even successful at that you shouldn't overexert yourself." The fans booed at him. "I'm here to talk to him." He pointed at him. "I'm here to encourage Hangman to do the right thing." He looked at Adam, "So how about you do the right thing? How about you save yourself the agony of me coming in there and beating you to a pulp. Because we all know you got a fluke victory tonight. How about you relinquish your title shot and give it to a real man?" He jumped up on the ring apron "A man who is going to be - " He noticed that Bret wasn't paying him the attention that he thought he deserved and yelled for him to look at him - "The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will - actually scratch that, that catch phrase sucks." The fans all booed, "How about you relinquish your title shot to Maxwell Jacob Friendman because I am better than you."
Lottie scoffed. She went to take a step forward but Adam put a hand in front of her waist to stop her.
He lunged forward, aiming to hit MJF with a strike to the side of his face but MJF jumped off the apron.
"Woah, easy there seabiscuit. Easy, how about I get you a little sugar cube, huh pal?"
Lottie slid out of the ring, much to the dismay of Adam who called her back, "Oh You think you are so funny." MJF nodded and told her he was hilarious. "Max, the only one who is ever going to laugh at you is your mirror." The audience all cheered the insult. She smiled when he got frustrated. She took a step closer to him so they were face to face, "You know what, you might say you're not a horse professor. Well guess what Max, I'm not a cactus expert either but, I know a prick when I see one."
MJF made a move for Lottie but backed away up the ramp when Adam slid out of the ring.
"You know what. I'll see you all later. I don't need this."
His retreat was halted by Jungle Boy and Jimmy Havoc. He took a swing at Jungle boy who punched him. Havoc took a strike next, knocking MJF off his feet. Adam grabbed him and threw him into the crowd.
Jungle Boy and Havoc continued to beat down MJF while Adam and Lottie walked backwards up the ramp. In the ring Bret was holding up the title. Adam pointed at the title before he and Lottie disappeared backstage.
Jericho's entrance had some extras coming out as his past gimmicks (early WWE Y2J, Light up Jacket Y2J, and List Y2J).
Kenny and Cami watch on the monitor in the production area as The Painmaker makes his way to the ring to a nice ovation. They were matching in pink and black.
Kenny's leather tights were black with pink knee pads and shin guards with his logos and cool other designs. He wore a wicked ring coat over his gear. Right now, his curly hair was tamed with water, but that would change a few minutes into the match.
Cami wore a black leather leather bustier with hot pink cargo trousers and black platform high heeled lace up ankle booties. Her black short hair is in loose waves. Her eye makeup is done with soft pink eyeshadow with winged eyeliner and silver eyeliner on top of the winged eyeliner. Her upper lip was stained with black lipstick and her bottom lip was stained with pink lipstick, creating an ombré effect.
"Alright, are you ready?" Kenny shifted his gaze to Cami.
Cami nodded. "Let's go."
Omega comes out with Camille and the crowd cheers as loud as they can when they see The Best Bout Machine.
The bell rings and they fight all the way to the outside. Omega jumps up on the barricade to moonsault but Jericho pushes him into the crowd. Jericho grabs the camera for a bit while Omega grabs a drink and spits it in Chris' face.
During their fight, Kenny is busted open, with blood coming out of his nose. Camille looks worried at ringside.
Jericho tries to introduce a table. Kenny baseball slides into the table and then tope con giros onto the table onto Jericho. Then Kenny gets into the ring, jumps onto the ropes and stomps onto the table which is on Jericho!
Omega is on offense for a while but Jericho fights back. His back body drops Omega over the top rope onto the floor through a table.
After some jostling, they're both towards the top of the turnbuckle and Jericho lands a top rope Code Breaker but Omega kicks out!
Omega goes for a V-Trigger but Jericho catches it and locks in the Walls and then into the Lion Tamer. Kenny is able to twist and they exchange shots, ending with the V Trigger. This leads to a One Winged Angel, but Jericho brings him down in an ugly looking DDT.
Jericho goes for a lionsault but Kenny catches it and tries against for the One Winged Angel but Jericho hits a cleaner looking DDT and follows up with a Code Breaker.
Then the Judas Effect! 1-2-3! Jericho wins!
Jericho grabs a mic after the match. He runs down the crowd and insists he is AEW. It's not a company for fans but a company for him. He takes credit for all of the company's early successes. He then demands his thank you.
JON MOXLEY IS HERE!
Mox slides into the ring and stares down Jericho. Paradigm Shift to Jericho! Paradigm Shift to referees!
Mox stares at Omega - who is just getting up with some assistance from Camille. Mox turns his attention to Camille. Mox attempts the Paradigm shift but Omega runs him out of the ring and they brawl into the crowd!
They brawl onto the poker chip stage set up. Mox delivers knees to the head then a Paradigm Shift on the poker chips! Then tosses Omega off onto the stage. Camille is kneeled beside Kenny, making sure he's okay as Moxley taunts on top of the poker chips.
Lottie changed into a pair of ripped denim shorts with black tights, a black graphic tee that said 'come as you are', and a flannel shirt. While it had been 85 degrees in Paradise earlier in the day, the temperature had dropped as the evening went on. She was putting on a pair of black chuck taylors when someone knocked on the door of the dressing room she shared with her sister.
She frowned as she got up and crossed the room to open the door. Adam stood on the other side. He was still in his outfit from the segment with MJF and Bret Hart.
"Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to go get something to eat?"
"It's not lunchtime." She teased.
"We could go to Denny's and pretend it's brunch." He countered, earning a laugh from the brunette.
"Sure, although I'm not exactly dressed to go out."
"You look fine to me." He leaned against the door jam.
"Well I guess that's all that matters."
"No, what matters is if you are comfortable and happy."
Lottie blushed and smiled. "Thank you."
"Get your sneakers on so we can go. I'm famished."
"Well the kindness didn't last long. Get in here and sit down while I get them on and get my stuff." He followed her into the locker room and sat down beside her while she finished putting on her converse. She then grabbed her cell and texted Cami to let her know where she went and that she would meet her back at their hotel room.
"Okay, I'm ready." She stood up and grabbed her bags. "I'm starving too and I could totally eat some pancakes."
Changing into an oversized black Iron Maiden t-shirt, black skinny jeans, black platform boots, and a black beanie on her head, Cami grabbed her bags and headed out.
Lottie had texted her to tell her that she was leaving with Adam. Cami was excited for her sister. She didn't mind riding back to the motel by herself. She would blast some Parkway Drive, Killswitch Engage, New Years Day, and Stitched Up Heart.
She heard her phone go off, indicating she had a text message. She opened the message. It was from Kenny. Hey, have you left the arena yet?
No, but I was about to.
I saw Page and Lottie leave together, I figured you might want some company?
I think you're just finding an excuse to hang out with me.
So what if I am?
Cami felt her cheeks go hot. I guess your company wouldn't be so terrible.
You know you love being around me.
I plead the fifth. Meet you at the parking garage?
Sure.
Adam and Lottie were seated at a booth at the nearest Denny's. Adam ordered a burger and fries with a soft drink and Lottie ordered the Chocobanana Pancakes and an Iced Tea.
"I think the Pay- Per-View was a huge success." Lottie commented.
"I think you are right about that. The fans seemed to be having an amazing time."
"And you get to have a world title match. It is going to be amazing!"
He chuckled at her enthusiasm. "Thank you. You are going to keep accompanying me to ringside, right?"
"If you want me to." Lottie felt a flutter in her stomach. She was working for a new company, she was going to be working with Adam, and they were on a date. She was so happy.
"Of course I do."
"Then I guess you have yourself a valet."
The waitress brought over their food and Lottie thanked her. She took a sip of her Iced Tea.
"How is the vlog coming?" Adam asked.
"It's good. I am going to do a makeup tutorial tomorrow. Cami and I shot some footage backstage too. It is going to show how excited everyone was for the show."
"I can't wait to watch it." He smiled and took a bit of his burger.
She cut her pancakes and took a bite. "What are your plans when you head back home?"
"Training, Resting up. Hopefully hanging around with you some more." He smiled.
She smiled back, "I am pretty sure I could make that happen."
Adam and Lottie talked and finished their meal. After paying and leaving a tip the duo drove back to the hotel.
"Thank you for dinner. It was delicious and I had a great time." Lottie smiled as they crossed the hotel lobby. She pressed the button for the elevator.
"I had a great time too." He put his arm in the elevator while she got on, then followed her in. She pressed the button for their desired floor.
"Maybe if you aren't leaving early we can get some breakfast downstairs before you go."
"That would be nice. I will text you. I don't know what time Cami booked the flights home. She took care of our travel arrangements this time."
"That was nice of her."
"It was." Lottie agreed.
The elevator chimed, indicating that they had reached their floor, and the doors slid open. They stepped out into the hall and he walked her to the room she was sharing with Cami. She got her keycard out of her purse.
"Well, Goodnight Adam. . ."
"You too Lottie." He smiled and turned to walk away. She slid the keycard into the lock and was about to open the door when he called her name. "Lottie."
She turned around to face him. She was about to ask what he needed when he grabbed her, pulled her in, pressed his lips against hers.
She stared at him with wide eyes when he took a step back and smirked, "I owed you that one, remember?"
Her lips quirked upward, "Yea, you did."
"Goodnight." He smiled.
"Goodnight." She smiled too and opened the door as he turned and walked down the hall toward his room.
Kenny and Cami made it back to the motel. The distance really wasn't that far. They got their belongings out of the trunk of the car Cami and Lottie rented. Cami was glad she didn't wear her camo green jacket like she planned because it was comfortable outside with what she had on. The two members of the Elite walked inside the motel. Cami pushed the button on the elevator.
"If you're not doing anything else tonight, you want to come to my room?" Kenny asked as he and Cami got on the elevator. "Your company wouldn't be too terrible." He smirked at her, repeating what she sent to him in a text message earlier.
"Is that an invitation?" Cami teased.
"Do you always have your mind in the gutter? You're such a typical twenty five year old."
"Twenty five is not that young. You make me feel like such a child," Cami scoffed and rolled her eyes. "At least I'm not almost forty."
"Thirty five is not that old."
"Whatever you say, Oldmega."
Kenny gave Cami a disheartening look as they got off on his floor. "You're so charming. I'm so shocked that you're single."
"I know. Why I'm still single is one of the greatest mysteries of all of mankind." She followed him down the hallway. He got out his key card and opened the door to his spacious motel room.
They sat their belongings near the door. They both took off their shoes. Cami also removed her beanie and tossed it on top of her suitcase.
"So, what's your honest opinion of your sister hanging out with Page?" He grabbed a bottle of water to drink.
Cami sat down in one of the chairs. "I'm happy for her. She deserves someone who's going to treat her right. It's just something to get used to because we've all been tight for so long as friends that it's weird to have two of our members 'dating'." Cami used air quotes.
Kenny took a sip of his water, nodding. He occupied the chair across from Cami. "It is weird. But, I think that Page and Lottie are going to be good for each other."
"Me too. He's a good guy."
"I know I was teasing you earlier about you being single, but I'm honestly shocked that no one has shacked up with you."
Cami shrugged. "I'm just so busy focusing on my career that I haven't really paid much attention to dating."
"I understand that."
"I always feel inferior to my sister," Cami confessed. "She's always been the sweeter and more down to earth one. People are quick to embrace her as opposed to me since I dress all punk and gothic. My style and personality probably makes a lot of guys turn their heads." She looked down at her black skull sock clad feet.
"Well I'm hanging out with you right now."
"That's because you're a really nice guy," Cami stated matter-of-factly.
"Thanks," Kenny chuckled. "But you know how introverted I can be. I have a certain group of people I like to be around. You're one of those people."
"That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me," the younger woman joked.
"I can be nice to you when I want to be."
"I know I may have this tough exterior and I may not show it, but it really means a lot that you find me tolerable."
"Cami, you're honestly one of my favorite people to hang out with."
Cami didn't know if it was because it had been awhile since a guy had been endearing to her, or it was because she was lonely, or because she was alone with Kenny Omega, or a combination of all three, but she leaned forward and pressed her lips to his. When Kenny didn't respond, Cami felt her heart sink at the rejection.
Embarrassed, she hurriedly headed for the door, but Kenny grabbed her wrist. He sat up from the chair and turned her to face him. He placed his hands on the sides of her face and crashed his lips on hers. In the heat of the moment, their clothes were strode all over the room and a night of passion ensued.
