A/N: Thanks for your patience! Only a couple parts left, let me know what you think!


Following week- RAW

Following a commercial break, the camera comes on to show the exterior of Amalie Arena and Michael Cole's voice comes alive. "RAW is live from Tampa, Florida! It's hot outside but it's even hotter in here, right Corey?" he asks as the camera fade cuts to the duo at the table.

"Sure is, Michael, the Tampa crowd is always excited for WWE RAW and why shouldn't they be?! Our main event tonight is Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn versus Seth Rollins and "The Big Dog" Roman Reigns!"

"Absolutely, KO and Zayn have been a thorn in their sides for the last couple weeks; but you know what's been brewing even longer is the tension between Bayley and Sasha Banks. When we last saw them last week, it looked like they were going to go out and talk about things, right?" Corey gives a silent nod. "Well the other day, we received video of those events straight from Bayley herself, and it's safe to say, things happened a little differently."

The program cuts to Bayley's video; the video was deemed appropriate since the "selfie-style" of the filming didn't actually show much of Sasha's predicament besides for a little of her upper body, enough for viewers to see she was tied to a chair. The video plays in full and it cuts back to Cole and Graves.

"Who would have thought Bayley orchestrated all that? I mean, ambushing Sasha and losing on purpose?" Cole asks Graves.

"I mean, I'm as surprised as anyone, I didn't think Bayley had it in her to basically kidnap Sasha."

"We can confirm that Sasha escaped," Cole adds. "She even posted photos of her arms on her Twitter with the cryptic caption, 'I guess you can't trust anyone.' I guess we know what that was about now."

"It's safe to say things haven't improved between those two," Corey says shaking his head.

"Wait, we're getting word from backstage, something's happening."

The camera cuts backstage to Sasha marching angrily around the locker rooms yelling for Bayley. "Come out Bayley! You can't hide from me forever!" She reaches the men's locker room and barges in, surprising Matt and Jeff Hardy as they're getting ready for a match. She only looks for a brief moment before going right back out and running straight into Kurt Angle.

"Woah, woah, woah, why were you in there?" Kurt asks.

Ignoring the question, Sasha barks out, "Where's Bayley? I need to destroy her!"

"Hey, calm down Sasha. Bayley isn't here tonight."

"What?!"

"She came down with something since last week, I told her to go home. I can't have her getting everyone here sick." Sasha lets out a grunt of dissatisfaction. "I've noticed you need to get some anger out. How about I get you a match tonight? Let you blow off some steam? In the meantime I'll think of what to do in the future with Bayley." Kurt says apologetically.

Sasha nods, seemingly annoyed but is keen to the idea of beating anyone up right now. "I'll go get ready," she says softly.


Later in the night, Sasha is battling a local competitor and unleashing some pent-up rage against her. It doesn't take long for Sasha to deliver double knees with her opponent in the corner, causing her to fall to a seated position. She executes another double knee attack to the girl's face, seemingly knocking her out. Sasha drags her opponent into the middle of the ring, rolls her on her front and puts her in the "Bank Statement". The girl weakly taps out as she is barely conscious from the onslaught. After the bell rings, Sasha holds on for a couple more seconds, forcing the ref to pull her off which Sasha doesn't resist.

"Man, Sasha really had some anger to let out!" Graves exclaims.

"Here is your winner by submission, Sasha Banks!" Jojo announces. Sasha allows the referee to raise her arm and she gets a cocky smile on her face. The crowd cheers loudly, not from Sasha's name being announced but because of something else. Suddenly, Sasha is blasted from behind, almost knocking her out.

"It's Bayley!" Cole shouts. "She wasn't even supposed to be here!"

"This was all planned, I guarantee it!" Corey retorts.

Bayley looks at the camera while standing above Sasha's prone body and flashes a devious smile. She bends down, grabs Sasha's purple hair and drags her to the corner turnbuckle. Bayley exits the ring, grasps Sasha's hair with one hand and her ankles with the other, and bends the lithe woman around the turnbuckle post back-first. Sasha starts yelling out in pain.

"My god, that's painful to watch," Corey says.

"I know all your weaknesses Sasha! You're weak! You're nothing!" Bayley screams, all the while wrenching her body against the post. Sasha weakly taps out against Bayley's hand, almost crying from the pain she's in. "That's right, submit to me!" As soon as she sees officials running down the ramp, Bayley stops pulling on her, punches Sasha in the back of the head, and hightails it through the crowd. Sasha goes limp in the corner and breathes lightly, holding one hand over her head.

"It's clear Sasha's back is still an issue but what can you expect from a brazen attack like that?" Cole asks.

"This rivalry is just getting started and already Bayley has the upper hand. Angle is going to have his hands full keeping these two apart."

Sasha, being tended to by the officials, can be seen talking to them before sitting up on her own and clutching her back. She is able to exit the ring and walk up the ramp on her own power to the cheer of the WWE Universe.

Sasha walks through the curtain, the camera still following her movements. The general manager appears down the hallway and Sasha just stops and waits for him to come to her. Angle sees the look of disdain on her face and looks at her apologetically. "Sasha, I had no idea…"

"No idea?! You said she was sick and sent her home!"

"She looked sick to me," Angle says with a hint of doubt in his voice.

"Did you even have the doctors look at her?" There's an awkward pause and Sasha runs her hands through her hair. "The only thing sick about her is her mind Kurt. I want her, in a match, next week."

"You're right, it's obvious you and Bayley need to work out this issue−"

"Me and Bayley?! She's the one who basically kidnapped me and then just blindsided me. Just do something about it."

"I will… in fact, I already have a great idea. In two weeks, at Extreme Rules, in your hometown of Boston, Massachusetts; you and Bayley, one-on-one, in an Extreme Rules match." Sasha smiles and nods approvingly.

"Bayley is going to find out in two weeks, just how legit I am."


The following week, Bayley's music hits to a mixture of cheers and boos from the audience. Despite her attitude change towards Sasha, she still comes out with her usual smile and taunting, saying hi to the crowd and throwing her arms out. She saunters to the ring and is given a microphone by one of the men sitting in the time keeper's area as the music cuts off. Bayley smiles towards the camera and starts her promo.

"What's up D.C?" Bayley shouts, receiving mostly cheers for the cheap pop. "Now some of you may be wondering why I'm so confident coming out here after my actions last week, considering how mad Sasha is right now." The crowd cheers louder for the mere mention of Sasha's name, eliciting an almost imperceptible frown from the bubbly superstar. "I'm out here because I'm not worried about Sasha. Sasha, behind all her bravado and attitude, is just another scared little girl who is unsure of herself and doesn't know if she can win the big one again." The crowd mostly boos to this declaration. "And while she's been failing over, and over, and over to get another shot at the RAW Women's Championship, she's been taking me down with her!" The crowd boos more and Bayley starts shouting over them to get her point across. "Week after week she gets in my way!" The crowd quiets a little, allowing Bayley to speak in a softer but more menacing voice. "But I know Sasha Banks… she won't quit if I beat her in a match, whether it's on RAW or in six days at Extreme Rules. She's from Bosssston," she says sardonically, "so she'll never give up. So the only way I'm going to stop her, is to punish her so bad she has no choice but to kneel in front of me and beg for mercy. I will humiliate her so bad in front of her hometown crowd, that she'll do anything to make me stop. I will−"

Sasha Banks' music hits to an uproar from the crowd and she comes out from backstage with purpose. Bayley sets the microphone down and gestures for Sasha to come to the ring. "I'm right here Sasha!" she shouts over the crowd's cheers. Sasha runs to the ring but as soon as she slides in, Bayley rolls out the other side of the ring and escapes through the crowd.

Sasha quickly picks up the mike and stares out at her. "Just like last week! Too afraid to face me, huh?! In fact, you've been attacking me from behind for the last month… you're just a cowardly little *****," she says as the censors prevent the television viewers from hearing her curse. The crowd uproars as Bayley glares at her former friend. "You were right about one thing though; I won't give up, until I pay you back for all the backstabbing you've done with one of my own. Then when I watch you tap out in the middle of that ring, you'll know you should never have messed with me. And you can BANK on that," she says with a little swagger, causing her music to hit. Sasha taunts on the turnbuckle as Bayley stands amongst the crowd, seemingly unshaken at the challenge.

"Some strong words from Bayley, predicting that she's going to dominate the match on Sunday!" Cole exclaims as Sasha continues to shout at Bayley without the use of the microphone.

"Bayley couldn't dominate any match, not with how bubbly she always is," Corey answers.

"But you have to admit the mean streak she's had for the last month puts her in front before their match."

"I still have to give the nod to Sasha Banks; she's shown through her career she's more than capable of delivering the hurt. I just don't think Bayley will stand a chance."
