The superstars finally arrived at the house. Many of them went upstairs to sleep before tomorrow's challenge.

"Cena." Kevin said, motioning over to the backyard.

John looked confused, following him out of the backdoor.

"You need allies, so do I."

Cena simply nodded.

"So... alliance?"

"What exactly do you expect me to do in this alliance?"

"Vote with me and Seth." Kevin shrugged.

"Sounds simple enough." Cena said, sarcastically.

Confessional

Cena: Peyton and I don't have any allies in the house, and being with Kevin is better than going it alone, I guess.

Kevin: It's 3 on 3, with Sasha's alliance vs my alliance, and Roman and Finn's teams kinda being just there. 3 things are very important now. 1, Rollins, Cena or I have to win every challenge from now on. 2, Rollins, Cena, and I can't get last place in any challenge from now on. And 3, eliminating Sasha and Cesaro as soon as possible. Cut off the head, and the body will stop moving too.

End Confessional


The next morning, Dana, Alexa, and Peyton sat in the living room.

"I don't know what this challenge is, but we need to win it." Alexa said.

Peyton simply nodded, while Dana rolled her eyes.

"Just because Charlotte is gone doesn't make you the leader. Just saying."

Alexa laughed.

"I don't know about you, but Charlotte was never my boss in the first place."

"I'm kinda new to this whole alliance thing, but I'm pretty sure it involves us getting along."

"Peyton's right." Dana sighed.

"As long as you two don't come in between me and the final challenge, we'll always get along." Alexa said, with a smile, leaving.

"I wish they got eliminated instead of Charlotte and Kofi." Dana said, crossing her arms.

Confessional

Dana: Charlotte filled an important role, as our female leader. And with her gone, Alexa thinks she's her.

Alexa: I'm a leader, not a follower. NO ONE leads me.

End Confessional

Soon, Alexa and the rest of the superstars joined them in the living room. Emma stood in front of everyone, holding the cell phone.

"I just got a text from The Miz on our AT&T Cricket Wireless cell phone. It says, 'having one partner is getting a little old, so for this challenge, you'll have seven.'"

"What the fuck does that even mean?" Sasha asked.

"I think it means we'll each have seven partners, Sasha." Alexa said, as the superstars all laughed.

"Why does someone always have to answer my rhetorical questions like a smartass?"

"Was that one rhetorical?" Xavier asked, with a laugh.

Sasha sighed as the superstars laughed again.

Confessional

Big E: I'm pretty good at math, and I really really, truly believe that 7 plus 1 is 8. There's 16 people in this house, which makes me think that this challenge is gonna be 8 on 8, with the house split in half. Good ole University of Iowa education.

Becky: We're not gonna have one partner in this game, we're gonna have 7? How does that even work?

End Confessional

The superstars boarded the bus, which stopped at a field with twin obstacle courses.

Confessional

Roman: We get to the challenge, and there's two of these Ninja Warrior looking obstacle courses set up, and they're exactly identical.

Xavier: Each one starts with a double rope climb, which leads into a puzzle of some sort, then that leads to a pool, after the pool is a warped wall, and after the warped wall is a 40 yard dash. Today is not gonna be easy.

End Confessional

"Hello Superstars, welcome to your 3rd challenge on WWE Fresh Meat. You and your partner will not be alone for this challenge, you'll be paired with 3 OTHER teams, we'll get to that in a minute. This challenge is called Instant Relay. It's a relay race. You and your partner will both climb up the ropes to get to the top of the platform, where you will solve the geometric puzzle on the electronic touchscreen. Once you solve the puzzle, you'll move onto the 30 meter swimming pool and swim from one side to the other. When you're done with that, you'll run up the large skate ramp, and grab onto the rope hanging from the top, and use it to climb over it, then run the 40 yard dash on the other side, and when you finish, I'll blow the airhorn, and the next team will go. The paring with the FASTEST time, on the WINNING team will be safe from the jungle. The paring with the SLOWEST time on the LOSING team will go directly into the jungle. If you and your partner have the fastest time in the house, but your team loses, tough luck. If you and your partner have the slowest time in the house, but your team wins, congrats, you don't go to the jungle."

Confessional

Cena: This challenge is unlike anything we've seen so far. Not only do we have to go fast in order to win, we have to rely on whatever other teams we're paired with to go fast as well.

End Confessional

"Becky, Xavier, you guys won the last challenge, please choose the paring you do NOT want on your team."

Xavier and Becky stood next to The Miz and looked at the superstars for a while.

"Kevin and Dana." Becky said.

Dana rolled her eyes as she and Kevin stood on the other side of Miz.

Confessional

Becky: Kevin and Dana are the least efficient team in the house. Dana is clumsy and not too bright, and Kevin seems to be off his game this season. Usually he moves pretty well for a big guy, but so far, he's just... moving like a big guy.

Kevin: In a challenge like this, Dana and I might just be the weakest link in the house, so it's imperative that we get Seth and Alexa on our team, and they win.

End Confessional

"Becky, Xavier, you're the left team captains. Kevin, Dana, you're the right team captains. Left, select a pairing to join you."

"Roman and Asuka." Becky said.

Roman and Asuka walked over to their side.

"You're pick, Right Team."

"Seth and Alexa." Kevin said.

Miz pointed to Becky and Xavier and Seth and Alexa approached their new teammates.

"Sasha and Cesaro."

"Emma and Finn."

"Bayley and Big E."

"Welp, the last team left is Cena & Peyton." The Miz said, as Cena and Peyton joined the Right Team, slightly annoyed.

Confessional

Cena: I'm the best guy in the house, and I'm getting picked last!?

Sasha: We have, the Right Team, which includes Kevin & Dana, Seth & Alexa, Emma & Finn, and Cena & Peyton. And we have the Left Team, which includes myself & Cesaro, Becky & Xavier, Bayley & Big E, and Roman & Asuka.

End Confessional

Roman & Asuka stood at the beginning of the left course, while Emma & Finn stood at the beginning of the right course.

"Alright guys, 3...2...1..." The Miz blew the air horn, as the four superstars all began climbing their ropes.

Roman and Finn simultaneously reached the top, with Asuka and Emma shortly following after.

Each team was pretty much stopped in their tracks by the puzzle.

Confessional

Seth: Here we go once again, communication barrier between Roman & Asuka. Great pick, bro!

Roman: Asuka is a great athlete, arguably one of the best competitors in the house... but I can't talk to her, and she can't talk to me, and I didn't quite think that through before I picked her as a partner.

Bayley: Roman and Asuka might cost our entire team this game right off the bat if they can't get past this.

End Confessional

Finn and Emma finished the puzzle and jumped into the pool, as Asuka attempted the puzzle by herself, unable to work on it with Roman. As Finn and Emma made it to the other side of the pool, Asuka finished the puzzle, and she and Roman moved on.

Finn got over the warped wall easily, as Roman and Asuka swam through the pool. Emma struggled getting to the rope. Roman and Asuka made it to the warped wall as Emma finally made it over. Roman and Asuka easily made it over as Finn and Emma began the 40 yard dash.

The Miz blew the air horn and Finn and Emma finished, and Cena and Peyton began climbing the ropes. About 30 seconds later, he blew the airhorn again, and Becky and Xavier started the challenge. They made it up and both teams began working on the puzzle.

Much to everyone's surprise, Cena & Peyton finished the puzzle at the exact same time as Becky and Xavier.

"Guys, come on!" Sasha exclaimed.

Confessional

Sasha: The one advantage Becky and Xavier have over everyone in the house is brain power, and they didn't get a lead after the puzzle. This isn't good.

End Confessional

Cena got out of the water first and immediately made it up the warped wall, as Becky, Peyton, and Xavier got out of the pool. Cena stood at the top waiting, as Peyton and Xavier both unsuccessfully attempted. Xavier was successful on his 2nd attempt as Peyton failed again.

"Come on, Peyton!" Cena shouted, feeling their lead slipping away.

Becky began to run up the warped wall, before falling and grabbing her ankle.

Confessional

Seth: So I'm sitting here like, 'dammit, Cena and Peyton lost the lead, now Alexa and I have to work extra hard to give out team the win'. And then, Becky goes down.

Becky: Please. Not now. Out of all the times for this to happen, not now. In a timed event, where the team with the slowest time on the losing team goes to the jungle, and I have to RUN up a skateboard ramp, and then run a 40 yard dash, I CANNOT have an ankle injury. This can't be happening right now.

End Confessional

Becky got up, and found herself unable to put any weight on her left ankle, as Peyton finally made it up the warped wall.

"Do you need me to come down?" Xavier asked.

"And do what?" Becky asked, still trying to put weight on her ankle.

"Carry you?"

"I'm good."

Becky began running up the ramp again before falling again.

"Fuck!" She said, in pain, as Miz blew the airhorn and Kevin and Dana began climbing the ropes.

"Bruuuuuuuuh." Big E sighed, putting his hands on his head.

"Xavier, do something!" Sasha exclaimed, as Kevin and Dana began working on the puzzle.

Xavier jumped down.

"Get on my back." he said.

Becky looked at him like he was insane.

"That's not gonna work."

"Just trust me."

Becky sighed, and got onto his back.

Xavier began running up the wall, before slipping.

Miz, Seth, Alexa, Cena, and Peyton laughed as Xavier fell down, with Becky on top of him.

"See?" Becky asked, as Kevin and Dana finished the puzzle and jumped into the water.

"Put her on your shoulders, then let her grab the rope and climb up!" Cesaro exclaimed.

Becky and Xavier looked at each other for a bit, as Kevin and Dana made it out of the water.

"It's worth a shot." Becky shrugged.

Becky sat on the back of Xavier's neck and he slowly stood upright, as Kevin made it up the warped wall.

Xavier ran up the wall and Becky managed to grab the rope, climbing over the wall, as Dana failed to make it over. Xavier went over the wall too, as Becky hobbled through the 40 yard dash, with Xavier jogging alongside her.

"Come on Dana." Kevin said, slowly running out of patience.

Miz blew the air horn, and Bayley and Big E began climbing their ropes.

Confessional

Bayley: Saying we have to make up for lost time would be an understatement.

Big E: This challenge is over. We lost, and Becky and Xavier are going to the jungle.

End Confessional

Big E and Bayley began working on the puzzle as Dana still struggled to get up the wall.

"Dana, PLEASE get up this fucking wall." Kevin said, starting to worry about Bayley and Big E catching up.

As Bayley and Big E finished the puzzle and jumped into the water, Dana finally made it up the warped wall, as Kevin took off for the 40 yard dash.

The Miz blew the air horn and Bayley and Big E made it out of the pool. Seth and Alexa began climbing their ropes.

Sasha sighed, as Big E and Bayley both made it up the warped wall.

Miz blew the air horn as Seth and Alexa finished their puzzle. Sasha and Cesaro began the challenge, climbing up the ropes, while Alexa and Seth finished up the swimming portion.

By the time Sasha and Cesaro finished their puzzle, Seth and Alexa had finished the entire course. The Miz blew the air horn.

Cesaro and Sasha easily made it through the pool, the warped wall, and the 40 yard dash, and The Miz blew the air horn for the final time.

Confessional

Sasha: Becky somehow fucked up her ankle, and cost us the challenge. At least on the bright side, I don't have to go to the jungle.

End Confessional

The superstars all stood in front of The Miz, Becky sat on the ground.

"The results of this challenge are pretty clear. Left Team, you lost. The team with the slowest time on the Left Team, was unfortunately, Becky and Xavier."

Confessional

Xavier: I don't know the severity of Becky's injury, but it can't be good for our future in this game, or even for the jungle coming up in 2 days.

Becky: I rolled my ankle, I'll be fine in a few days. I just have to rest it as much as I can, and survive this jungle.

End Confessional

"The team with the fastest time in the house overall, as Sasha and Cesaro, but you guys were on the losing team."

Sasha sighed as Cesaro sadly nodded.

"The team that is safe from the next jungle is... Seth and Alexa!"

Alexa and Seth high-fived.

Confessional

Alexa: Seth and I are the most well-rounded team in the entire house, and I am 100% confident that we could beat ANY of these teams in a final challenge.

Seth: As long as Alexa and I can keep winning challenges, we don't need to worry about who goes in, who gets eliminated, any of that. Because no one in the house can beat us.

Kevin: Roman and Asuka's special strength is their explosiveness and reaction time, Cesaro and Sasha have their athleticism, Bayley and Big E have their brute strength, Becky and Xavier have their intellect. Seth and Alexa don't have anything like that. Their special strength is simply not having a weakness.

End Confessional

"The challenge bus is here to take you back to the house, tomorrow, you'll vote to determine which team will face Becky and Xavier in the jungle. You can vote for anyone except Alexa Bliss and Seth Rollins."

The superstars boarded the challenge bus.


"Who do you want to go against?" Sasha asked, walking into Bayley, Becky, Xavier, and Big E's bedroom.

"I guess Kevin and Dana." Becky shrugged, laying with her ankle elevated by a stack of pillows, with a bag of ice on top.

"We'll throw their names out early then, Cena, Roman, and Emma'll probably go along with it."

"How's the ankle?" Cesaro asked, entering the room.

"I'll be ready to go on Jungle Day." Becky said, staring at it.


"I have an idea for the vote." Alexa said.

Kevin chuckled.

"Rookies don't come up with ideas. I say we vote in Bayley and Big E, they have the biggest chance of losing out of all the eligible teams."

Seth nodded

"I like that pick."

"Well, I don't." Alexa said.

Dana rolled her eyes, as Seth looked confused.

Kevin sighed.

"What's your idea, Alexa?"

"I say we vote Sasha and Cesaro in. Either way, Becky and Xavier are probably going to lose, but what if something goes horribly wrong during the jungle, and they win?"

"You think Becky and Xavier are gonna beat Sasha and Cesaro?" Dana asked.

"No. But anything can happen. And it's a win-win. Becky's team loses? Sasha's alliance loses a member. Sasha's team loses? We take over the whole damn game!"

Kevin sat in silence.

"She's got a point, there's nothing to lose by throwing Sasha and Cesaro in." Seth said, shrugging.

"I like Kevin's idea better." Dana said.

Alexa smirked.

"I like her's." Kevin shrugged.

"So Sasha and Cesaro?" Seth asked.

"Sounds like a plan. Nice idea, rookie."


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

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

"I'm telling you, just stand outside the door, this'll be quick." Kevin said, and The Miz left.

"Kevin and Dana." Sasha said immediately.

"Sasha and Cesaro." Alexa said.

Sasha's eyes got huge.

"We're going Kevin and Dana as well." Becky said, with a bag of ice now tied to her ankle, which was resting on the table.

Cena raised a finger.

"Sasha and Cesaro."

"What!?" Sasha exclaimed.

"Sasha and Cesaro." Kevin said.

"Sasha and Cesaro." Roman shrugged, as Sasha crossed her arms.

"Kevin and Dana." Bayley said.

"Sasha and Cesaro." Emma said.

Kevin got up and opened the door.

"Told you!" He called out.

Miz returned.

"Have we reached a consensus?"

"Sasha and Cesaro." Alexa said.

"Wow. Tomorrow night, Xavier Woods and Becky Lynch will face Cesaro and Sasha Banks in the jungle. Good luck, see ya tomorrow night."

Confessional

Sasha: What the hell just happened? Why are we in the jungle, against Becky and Xavier, when we have the majority in the house?

Xavier: Maybe Kevin's alliance is a little bigger than we thought.

Becky: I didn't even want to face Sasha and Cesaro in a final challenge, while I'm healthy. I DEFINITELY don't wanna face them in jungle, when I'm playing through injury.

Cesaro: This is a lose-lose situation. Our strength in numbers is important, and no matter what happens tomorrow night, the future doesn't look good for the winning team.

End Confessional

Everyone left the living room except Sasha, Becky, and Bayley.

"This freaking sucks." Bayley said, sadly.

Becky said nothing, still staring at her ankle.

"May the best team win." Sasha said, extending her hand with a smile.

"I don't want the best team to win, I want MY team to win." Becky said, emotionlessly, staring at her ankle, as Sasha chuckled.

Sasha awkwardly put her hand down, realizing Becky wasn't going to shake it.

"I'm rooting for both of you... I know that doesn't make sense but I just... I really don't wanna see either of you go and-"

"Bayley, it's fine." Sasha said, putting her hands on her shoulders. Becky didn't break her gaze at her own ankle.

"This really really sucks." Bayley frowned.

"Good luck." Sasha smiled.

Becky said nothing, still staring.

Sasha left.

"Becky, are you okay?"

Becky shook her head no, and Bayley hugged her.


The next night was very cold. The superstars all boarded the bus. Xavier, Sasha, and Cesaro had sweaters on under their challenge shirts, and Becky had a hoodie under hers. Sasha had a ski mask on.

"You look like you're gonna rob Miz when we get there." Kevin said. The superstars laughed.

"It's cold!" She exclaimed.

The challenge buses took the competitors to the jungle where they saw a huge mud pit, with Miz standing in front of it.

Confessional

Xavier: We literally just see a mud pit. Is this mud wrestling, is this a race, what... what is this?

Cesaro: Hopefully this challenge involves a lot of mobility, because if not, our injury advantage over Becky and Xavier disappears.

Sasha: I really can't tell what this is. At this point, I'm just waiting for Miz to explain, so we can come up with a strategy.

Becky: I don't know what this jungle is. I can't really tell. But I'm going to give it 100%, even though I'm not at 100%.

End Confessional

"Ladies, gentlemen, welcome to the jungle. Becky, Xavier, come on down."

Xavier and Becky came down from the bridge, onto the field.

"How's the ankle?"

"My ankle is fine, thanks for asking." Xavier said, as the superstars laughed.

"Cesaro, Sasha, please come down."

Sasha and Cesaro joined Becky and Xavier on the field.

"Sasha, very fashionable mask."

"She's trying to make a good lucha thing!" Kevin exclaimed from the bridge, as the superstars howled in laughter.

"Tonight, you'll be playing Goldrush. I'll make this simple. There are 5 coins gold coins in this mud pit, and hundreds of yellow coins. I'll stand here, while you all go into the pit, and the first team to give me 3 gold coins will win this challenge. Sounds simple enough, right?"

The 4 superstars stood outside of the mud pit.

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

Miz blew the airhorn, and they all dived in.

Sasha immediately got out and came running to Miz with a coin.

"This is yellow." Miz said.

Sasha ran back into the pit, as Xavier came running with a coin.

"This one is yellow as well."

Confessional

Becky: There's hundreds of yellow coins in here, and it's kinda difficult to tell the difference between a yellow one and a gold one.

End Confessional

Becky came hobbling out of the mud pit. She eventually made it to Miz and handed him a coin.

"It's yellow."

"GOD DAMMIT!" Becky said, limping back as fast as she could.

Cesaro came out of the mud pit, handing his coin to Miz.

"Yellow."

Cesaro rolled his eyes, running back.

Confessional

Sasha: I can't find ONE of these damn coins, how am I supposed to find 3?

End Confessional

Cesaro came back out of the mud pit, handing Miz another coin.

"It's gold! Sasha and Cesaro are up 1-0."

Becky hobbled over to Miz, handing him a coin.

"1-1!"

Sasha made a mental note of how slow Becky was coming back to the pit.

Xavier ran out of the pit, handing Miz another coin.

"Becky and Xavier lead 2-1, one more coin and they win."

Sasha desperately searched through the mud, finding nothing but yellow coins, as Cesaro came running out of the pit, handing Miz a coin.

"Yellow."

"WHAT!?" Cesaro yelled, as Miz wiped mud off of it.

"CESARO, COME ON!" Sasha shouted, as Cesaro came back to the pit.

The 4 superstars kept looking for coins.

Suddenly, Cesaro left the pit again, handing Miz yet another coin.

"2-2. next coin wins it!"

After Cesaro returned to the pit, Becky slowly hobbled out of it.

"NO!" Sasha yelled.

Confessional

Becky: So I grab the final gold coin, and I'm thinking, "Yes! We did it. I made it through the jungle", so I'm limping over to Miz, as slow as a tortoise. Then all of a sudden, the coin's not in my hand.

End Confessional

Sasha ran over, snatching the coin from Becky.

"WOAH! HEY!" Xavier shouted from the mud pit, as Sasha ran with the coin and Becky limped, trying to chase her.

Sasha handed the coin to Miz, who blew the air horn, as the rest of the superstars looked in confusion.

"That's a DQ, right!?" Becky asked.

"He said get the coin and bring it to him, that's what I did." Sasha said.

"Sasha, come on." Xavier said, as he and Cesaro left the mud pit.

"It's not my fault she's hurt, I didn't twist her ankle." Sasha shrugged.

Confessional

Big E: First Sasha tripped Charlotte in the jungle, and everyone was like "...meh, karma." But THIS? This feels a little different.

Alexa: The rules said, the first one to bring the coin to Miz gets the point. If you ask me, Sasha and Cesaro won fair and square. Tough luck.

Finn: That's not even fair, Becky clearly thought the challenge was won, and didn't expect Sasha to run after her and take the coin.

End Confessional

"I wasn't even in the mud pit, come on, Sasha." Becky said.

"He said 'the first team to give me 3 coins' wins, we gave him 3 coins." Sasha said, looking to Cesaro for agreement.

Cesaro just shrugged.

The 4 superstars stood in their original positions, while the rest of the superstars debated on the decision.

"They should just put the coin back and restart." Seth said.

"Nah, fuck that, Sasha won." Roman laughed.

"She cheated." Dana said.

"She exploited a weakness, it was unfair, but it's not cheating." Kevin shrugged.

Bayley stood silently, frowning.

"I'd have done the same thing." Alexa said.

"Both of you teams fought hard. I said that the first team to provide me with 3 coins would win. You can question the ethics, but you can't question the results. Sasha, Cesaro, you live to play another day, congratulations."

Cesaro and Sasha returned to the bridge. Sasha hugged Bayley, who awkwardly hugged back.

"Xavier, Becky, this ends your time here in Canada."

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

Confessional

Xavier: I'm not happy with this jungle result at all. But Sasha did what she had to do to win, and it wasn't our night.

Becky: I definitely expected Sasha to get disqualified for what she did, but she didn't. I don't take it personally, it's just a game after all. But I didn't see that coming. Getting eliminated early on is definitely disappointing after last season, but it's just more motivation to come back next time better than ever.

End Confessional

"This game has little room for error. Remember that. Get some rest guys. See you tomorrow."

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

NEXT EPISODE: The superstars play Jailbreak. Bayley questions Sasha's trustworthiness, and a shocking last place finish leads to a dream match-up in the jungle.

Poll 1: Should Sasha have been DQ'd?

Poll 2: Which 3 teams will make the final challenge?
