Bayley: After that jungle, there's a huge hole in Kevin's alliance.

Kevin: Last night, Charlotte went home. It's still kinda surreal. No more wooing, no more putting Charlotte up last every challenge... besides that? Nothing changes. Charlotte is a great person to have on your side, but she doesn't make or break me. If Tom Brady gets injured, the Patriots still have to go out there and play 16 games, ya know?

End Confessional

Kevin, Dana, Seth, and Alexa awkwardly sat in the yellow room.

"What do we do now?" Dana asked.

"What the hell do you mean 'what do we do now?', we keep playing." Kevin said.

Alexa nervously looked at Seth.

"Charlotte and Kofi being gone just means one less good team to beat." Alexa said.

"That's cold." Dana said, frowning.

Seth shrugged.

"As is the nature of the game, rookie."


The next day, the superstars met in the living room. Xavier stood in front of everyone, looking confused at the cell phone.

"Uh... it says 'hand Alexa and Seth the phone so they can text me the order'."

The superstars all looked confused, as Seth began typing on the phone.

"This is gonna be fucking stupid." Kevin said, putting his hands behind his head.

After about 20 minutes, Miz walked into the living room, through the front door.

"Roman, Asuka, come with me."

Roman and Asuka looked confused, before following Miz out of the front door.

"Are we supposed to just sit here?" Sasha asked.

"Are you Roman or Asuka?" Nia replied, as a few superstars snickered.

Sasha rolled her eyes.

The superstars are continued awkwardly sitting in the living room.


Roman and Asuka soon arrived at a beach, where The Miz was standing. They also noticed 12 big foam cubes sitting on the beach.

"A little cold for a day at the beach, don't ya think?" Roman asked.

"Good one. This challenge is called, Swimming With Sharks. There is a puzzle frame, in that shark lagoon. I will start the timer, and you guys will take turns, relay style, taking one of the pieces into the lagoon, and onto the frame. The puzzle has 3 rows, and 4 columns, 12 pieces in total. You will be done when all of your pieces are in the correct places."

Asuka and Roman started putting on their flotation vests as the crew members translated the rules to Asuka

Confessional

Roman: This challenge requires a lot of communication since we're putting it together relay style, and that works against us. If I see something, I can't tell Asuka "oh, put this piece third from the left" because I don't speak Japanese. And if I mess up, how is she supposed to tell me that? And on top of that, we gotta swim in a shark lagoon!?

Asuka: Roman to watashi to no ma no gengo no kabe wa sudeni, kono gēmu o jūbun ni muzukashiku shite imasu. Sonogo, same o tsuika suru hitsuyō ga arimasu!?

End Confessional

"3...2...1..."

Miz blew the air horn, as Roman grabbed a piece and jumped into the water. He swam into the shark lagoon and placed the piece before swimming back to the beach. Asuka grabbed a piece and jumped into the water, as Roman walked over to the pieces, deciding which order they went in.


"How long has it been?" Sasha asked.

Xavier looked at his watch.

"48 minutes."

"Maybe it's a timed event and they just suck at it." Seth shrugged.

A few of the superstars laughed.


"The puzzle is incorrect, you must take the pieces back one at a time."

"You gotta be fucking kidding."

Confessional

Roman: We've spent a good half hour on this puzzle, and now we have to take all 12 pieces back. It's looking like a jungle day for us.

End Confessional

Eventually Roman and Asuka brought all 12 pieces back. Asuka began drawing in the sand.

"What are you doing?" Roman asked.

Asuka ignored him, drawing a rectangle in the sand, before drawing lines separating it into 12 equal squares.

"Oh shit." Roman said, with a smirk.

Asuka pointed to the square in the top right, before pointing to a puzzle piece. Roman nodded, and grabbed the piece. He took it to the water and jumped in.


Miz returned to the living room.

"Sasha, Cesaro, you're up."

"Finally." Sasha said, following Miz and Cesaro out of the room.

Xavier looked down at his watch again.

"Wonder what the challenge is." Emma said.

"Something convoluted and stupid."

The rest of the superstars nodded, agreeing with Kevin.


"Top row, 2nd from the right." Sasha said, stepping out of the water, looking traumatized.

Cesaro nodded, jumping into the water with a puzzle piece.

Confessional

Cesaro: This challenge isn't so bad.

Sasha: A fucking shark lagoon!? Are you kidding me!? I can't wait until this challenge is over.

End Confessional


The Miz walked back into the living room.

"Peyton, Cena, you're up."

Confessional

Peyton: Who's bright idea was it to have us swimming with sharks!?

Cena: I heard a rumor that sharks can smell fear... I really hope that's a myth right now.

End Confessional


"Emma, Finn, please come with me"

Confessional

Emma: Easy challenge, too easy almost.

Finn: I hope this isn't the hardest challenge of the season, cause if so, this house is gonna have a problem with us.

End Confessional


"Big E, Bayley, let's go."

Confessional

Big E: Sharks!? Fuck that.

Bayley: Sharks are cute. They're like dolphins with bigger teeth.

End Confessional


Miz returned to the living room again.

"Dean, Nia, follow me."

Confessional

Dean: They wouldn't have us swimming with sharks if they were gonna eat us... right?

Nia: If one of those fucking sharks bites me? I'm biting it back.

End Confessional


"Becky, Xavier, come with me."

Confessional

Xavier: So we get to this challenge, and the first thing they tell us to do, is to swim into a shark lagoon... WHAT!?

Becky: Sharks and water? Maybe heights and water aren't so bad.

End Confessional


"Kevin, Dana, it's your turn."

Confessional

Dana: This is probably the scariest thing I've ever done.

Kevin: I just need to act like a fish. Sharks are very aware that fish are friends, not food.

End Confessional


"Last up, Seth and Alexa, come with me."

Confessional

Alexa: 2 challenges in and I already want to go home.

Seth: Hey, I survived... not gonna say I didn't piss myself, but I didn't die.

End Confessional


The superstars all sat on the bus, as Miz stood at the front.

"Our last place team, with a final time of 41 minutes... Asuka and Roman Reigns."

Confessional

Roman: I knew we'd have teamwork issues, but I never thought we'd get last place in a challenge. I'm familiar with the jungle, though. Can't wait to be back. Happiest place on earth.

End Confessional

"In 8th place, with a final time of 31 minutes, Dana Brooke and Kevin Owens."

Kevin rolled his eyes, thinking about how long it took him and Dana to finish the puzzle.

"7th place, with a final time of 29 minutes, Bayley and Big E."

Sasha eagerly stared Miz down, waiting to figure out her team's time.

"6th place, with a final time of 28 minutes, John Cena and Peyton Royce."

Cena shrugged, patting Peyton on the back.

"5th place, with a final time of 24 minutes, Sasha Banks and Cesaro."

"5TH!?" Sasha asked.

"That's what comes before 6th, Sasha." Nia said, mockingly.

Sasha rolled her eyes as the superstars laughed.

"You're so irrelevant, just don't talk to me." Sasha sighed.

"How am I irrelevant?"

"Stop trying to get my attention. You stole my bed, you respond to everything I say, it's like you're trying to be my partner on Rivals 2 or something, just sit in the background where you belong and shut up."

"Ladies, ladies, relax. Miz, continue." Seth said.

"In 4th place, with a final time of 20 minutes, Nia Jax and Dean Ambrose."

Dean simply nodded.

"In 3rd place, with a final time of 18 minutes, Finn Balor and Emma."

Finn and Emma kept poker faces, hiding their disappointment.

"In 2nd place, with a final time of 17 minutes... Alexa Bliss and Seth Rollins."

"God dammit." Alexa said, as Becky hugged Xavier.

"And in 1st place, with a final time of 13 minutes, Xavier Woods and Becky Lynch!"

Confessional

Becky: It was a puzzle. Of course we were going to win!

Xavier: This will be the first of many challenge wins. Don't sleep on the Woods-Lynch connection, because we WILL make you pay for it.

End Confessional

"Great challenge, guys, see you tomorrow at the house, where you'll vote to determine which team will face Roman and Asuka in the jungle. You can vote for anyone except Becky and Xavier."


The superstars got off of the bus and began walking into the house.

"Who ya want in the jungle, Roman?" Dean asked, casually, in front of everyone.

"To be honest, Becky and Xavier, but I can't have that."

Xavier rolled his eyes as a few superstars chuckled.

"Who do you think's next weakest?"

"I don't know. You think I should vote in Seth and Alexa?"

"Do it. I dare you. It'll be the dumbest decision of your fucking life." Alexa said, glaring at Roman.

Roman laughed.

"Woah, feisty!" Big E said.

"I agree with her. Couldn't have said it better myself." Seth said, grabbing a water bottle.

"What do you think Cena?" Roman asked.

Cena shrugged.

"I mean, everyone's gonna run to their little corners and decide who to vote anyway, we might as well decide right here, that way we'll all be on the same page." Roman said, sitting next to Alexa.

Confessional

Seth: Alexa and I are the best team in the house. Roman wants to think we're weak? Fine, prove it. I'll gladly send you and your mime partner packing.

Becky: Roman and Dean are trying to get in people's heads before the vote, and create this illusion of power that they don't have. It's reverse psychology, and I'm not falling for it.

Dean: There's pretty much a stalemate when it comes to control. You have the implied Sasha-Becky-Bayley-New Day-Cesaro alliance, you have my own "secret" alliance with Roman and Asuka, and Finn and Emma. Then you have the KO-Dana-Alexa-Seth, with Cena and Peyton kinda just floating aimlessly around the house periodically eating and using the bathrooms. That means this vote could go either way, and I think it's important we get some names out now, so we can figure out what we're dealing with come tomorrow for Roman and Asuka's jungle.

End Confessional

"Kevin, who you voting?" Roman asked.

"You know it's a federal offense to ask someone who they're voting for, right?"

The superstars laughed, as Roman nodded.

"I expected a response like that. Sasha, who ya got?"

Sasha ignored him.

"Come on. You're telling me no one in here knows who they're voting for? Bayley?"

"Uh-"

Sasha cut Bayley off, putting her hand over Bayley's mouth.

"She's a grown woman, let her talk." Dean shrugged.

Becky walked over to Kevin as Sasha began arguing with Roman and Dean.

"Meet me in the backyard in 15 minutes." Becky muttered.

Kevin looked confused, but nodded anyway.

"I'm just saying, you're not her mom." Roman shrugged.

"And I'm just saying you two don't need to worry about our plans." Sasha said, grabbing Bayley's wrist and leading her upstairs.

"Look what you guys did, you went and got the poor girl grounded." Kevin said.

The superstars laughed, as Becky followed Sasha and Bayley up the staircase.

"E, man, who are you guys voting for?" Roman asked.

"I don't know, bruh, they don't tell me things, I'm just along for the ride." Big E shrugged.

"Cesaro, what ya got? Xavier? Somebody knows something. What you plotting over there, Kevin?"

"I'm plotting on how to politely leave this terrible attempt at an interrogation." Kevin said.

The superstars laughed again.

"Welp. No one's talking, we'll find out tomorrow I guess." Roman shrugged, leaving the room as Dean followed.

Kevin turned around to make sure Roman and Dean were gone.

"Big secret. This doesn't leave this room... I really... really don't like those guys." Kevin said, as the superstars burst into laughter.


Kevin waited in the backyard, sitting at the picnic table. Eventually, Becky walked out of the back door, with Sasha and Bayley behind her.

"Why do we have to talk back here instead of in the-"

Sasha stopped talking when she saw Kevin.

"Kevin can you please leave?"

"I invited him here." Becky said, sitting down as well.

"What the fuck is this?" Sasha asked, looking at Kevin.

Kevin shrugged.

Sasha sighed, sitting down. Bayley sat down as well.

Becky cleared her throat.

"First of all, we don't really hate Kevin, we hate Charlotte. But she's gone. Secondly, we all have common ground. I was thinking about it on the bus. Kevin, you hate Roman Reigns."

"Guilty as charged." Kevin nodded.

"Sasha, Nia has been a huge thorn in your side since you've got here, and I'm sure you'd love to have her gone."

"I'm listening..." Sasha said.

"And Bayley, Asuka basically kicked your face in and took your NXT Women's title."

Bayley sighed, sadly nodding.

"If Sasha, Bayley, and I put our three votes with you and Seth's votes, and we all vote Dean and Nia in, we'll have a 5-4 majority no matter what Cena and Emma's teams do."

"This is about Dean, isn't it?" Sasha said.

"...no... maybe... does it matter!?" Becky asked.

"Okay, so what if Roman wins, what do I get out of it?" Kevin asked.

"You get nothing. But if you don't vote with us, we're voting you and Dana in, and you two WILL lose to Roman and Asuka."

"Becky Lynch, you drive a hard bargain. If a one day truce saves my ass from the jungle, and gets either Dean or Roman eliminated, I'm in." Kevin said.

"What do you say, Bayley?" Becky asked.

"I..."

Bayley trailed off, nervously looking for Sasha's approval. Becky sighed.

"Sasha?"

"I'll do it if you admit this is about you and Dean." Sasha said.

Becky rolled her eyes.

"Yes, this is about me and Dean."

"Congrats Kevin, you get to stay in my house for another week." Sasha smiled, holding out her hand.

"I would shake your hand, but I don't want to get my peasant germs on it, Miss Boss." Kevin said, sarcastically, getting up from the table.

Confessional

Kevin: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Dean Ambrose, I don't know what happened between you and Becky Lynch, I really don't CARE what happened between you and Becky Lynch, but thank you for saving me from the jungle.

Becky: It's a win-win situation. Roman and Asuka get eliminated? The house loses a really strong team. Dean and Nia get eliminated? The house loses a womanizing man-whore and a female middle school bully.

End Confessional


The next day, The Miz met with the superstars in the living room.

"Alright superstars, it's time to decide who will face Roman and Asuka in tomorrow night's jungle. Each team gets one vote, you can vote for anyone except yesterday's challenge winners, Becky and Xavier. I'll be back in 20 minutes, have fun."

The Miz left.

"Don't go too far." Kevin called out, as Miz closed the door.

"Kevin and Dana." Dean said.

"Sounds good, I'll second that." Roman said.

"Third." Emma added.

"Dean and Nia." Becky said, staring a hole through Dean.

"Second." Kevin said.

"Third." Seth laughed, as Dean slowly realized what was happening.

Big E raised his hand.

"Fourth."

"Fifth, and that's majority." Sasha said, before Cena and Peyton got a chance to vote.

"Well I'll go get Miz." Bayley shrugged, leaving the room.

Dean said nothing, just sadly looking over at Becky, who was still glaring at him.

"Pretty quiet over there, Nia." Sasha said, with a smirk.

"I wouldn't start talking shit yet Sasha, you know who's going to the jungle but you don't know who's coming back from it." Nia replied.

Sasha simply nodded, as Bayley and Miz returned.

"We've reached a consensus?"

"Dean and Nia." Kevin said.

"Wow, the jungles this season just keep getting better. Tomorrow night, Roman Reigns and Asuka will face Dean Ambrose and Nia Jax in the jungle. Good luck, see ya tomorrow night."

Confessional

Roman: If only Kevin was as good at challenges as he is at avoiding the jungle, he'd really be a force to be reckoned with.

Nia: For whatever reason, Sasha's alliance and Kevin's alliance came together, to throw me and Dean into the jungle. Asuka, get someone to translate this for you. I'm going to demolish you.

Dean: I've never been in a jungle before, so I'm not really sure how to feel. Especially going against Roman, who's won 3 of them, and lost 1 only due to injury. I guess we'll see.

End Confessional

The superstars all left, except Becky and Dean.

The two sat in awkward silence.

"...are we even now?" Dean asked.

Becky gasped in shock.

"You disgust me." Becky said, standing up and walking out of the room.

Dean rolled his eyes and walked to the kitchen.


"We need a third ally." Kevin said, sitting on his bed.

Alexa, Seth, and Dana nodded.

"Finn and Emma?" Alexa asked.

"They voted with Dean and Roman."

"You think John Cena would join our alliance?" Seth asked.

"He might as well. It's not like he has any allies at the moment." Kevin shrugged.

"We'll talk with him after the jungle."

Kevin simply pointed to Seth and nodded.


That night, the challenge bus took the superstars to the jungle. The only thing in the field was a wall, with green and red 9 inch by 9 inch squares all over it.

Confessional

Roman: Fucking Door Jam.

Nia: You're kidding me right?

Dean: This jungle is so stupid. But, here we go.

End Confessional

"Hello superstars, welcome back to the jungle! I need the team that got last place today, Roman and Asuka."

Roman and Asuka made their way down to the field.

"Tonight, you'll be going against the team that was voted into tonight's jungle, Dean and Nia."

Dean and Nia came down to the field.

"Tonight is everyone's favorite, Door Jam. Dean, Nia, you'll be on one side of the wall, Roman, Asuka, you'll be on the other side. You don't want any red on your side, you want green. Red bad. Green good. If you see a red door, flip it. You'll have 7 minutes. The team with the most green on their side of the wall at the end of the 7 minutes will be safe, and will live to see another challenge. The team with the most red on their side will be going back to the United States."

Dean, Asuka, Nia, and Roman got into their positions.

"Alright guys. 3...2...1..." The Miz blew the air horn and the 4 superstars rapidly began flipping doors.

Confessional

Dean: Duuuuuuuude, Asuka and Roman are flipping wall, after wall, after wall, and I don't think we're working nearly as well as them.

Roman: Hate that it has to be Dean, but I don't care who's facing me in a jungle, they ain't walking out with a win.

Nia: I'm a physical force that could easily dominate ANY girl on this show, and they have me flipping doors!?

End Confessional

The Miz blew the air horn and the 4 superstars stopped. They went back and stood in their original positions as The Miz and the crew counted the doors.

"Wow. There's 45 doors on that wall, the final score was 21 to 24. The winners, who will stay in the house for another challenge... Roman and Asuka."

Roman and Asuka returned to the bridge.

"Nia, Dean, sadly, this ends your time here in Canada."

The superstars clapped and a few waved goodbye as Dean and Nia walked into the distance, with crew members following them, carrying their suitcases.

Confessional

Nia: Every girl in this house just got saved, big time.

Dean: It sucks... it really does. I had high hopes for a repeat this season. And... I just don't know what to fucking say. Episode 2? I'm beyond disappointed.

End Confessional

"We started the season with 3 WWE Rivals winners, there's only been 2 eliminations, and only one winner remains. Like I said, this is not WWE Rivals. What you did before you got here does not matter. All that matters, is what you do next. Get some rest guys, see you at tomorrow's challenge."

The challenge bus came and picked up the superstars, taking them back to the house.

NEXT EPISODE: The superstars play Instant Relay. With Kevin and Sasha's truce now off, will KO be doomed to a jungle appearance, or does he have another trick up his sleeve?

Poll 1: Who will be eliminated next episode?

Poll 2: Which elimination was more shocking, Dean and Nia or Charlotte and Kofi?
