Apologies for the long hiatus, with the new laptop it shouldn't happen again.
Confessional
Sasha: Becky and Xavier got last place in the challenge, and Cesaro and I got voted into the jungle against them, which unfortunately means, they had to go home, so now, we no longer have control of the house.
Bayley: I'm not saying Sasha cheated necessarily, or even bent any rules. But if she's so comfortable with taking advantage of Becky's injury and sending her home to save herself, I wonder how comfortable she is with doing the same to me.
End Confessional
Bayley and Big E sat in their bedroom. They were the only ones in the room because the rest of their roommates had been eliminated. Just then, Sasha walked in.
"Guys, we NEED to get Kevin's allies in the jungle." Sasha said, tying her hair into a ponytail.
"Yeah..." Bayley replied, awkwardly.
"What's wrong?"
"...would you do what you did to Becky to me?"
"We'll never be in the jungle against each other."
"But if we were..."
"Do you not trust me?" Sasha asked.
"It's not that, it's just... on Rivals, I watched Charlotte screw over everyone around her, but I never thought it would happen to me, until it did."
"I'm NOT Charlotte."
"I'm not saying that either! I just... never mind. Forget I said anything."
"There's enough spots in the final for both of us Bayley, I'm not gonna turn on you." Sasha reassured her, before leaving.
Confessional
Big E: I would say I trust Sasha as far as I can throw her, but I can probably throw her pretty far. Either way, I'm watching you, Banks.
Sasha: As of right now, Big E and Bayley being in this house benefits me a lot, and as long as that stays the same, I have no reason to take them out.
End Confessional
The superstars met in the living room. Alexa stood in front of 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, 'Superstars, the only way to win today, is to have a breakout performance'."
"Something with a cage." Kevin predicted.
Confessional
Big E: Not sure what Miz's clue means, but we haven't gotten a win yet, and we need a breakout performance here today.
Peyton: As long as a team in our alliance wins, we should be fine, but Cena and I are here for the long haul, and we need to prove it with a win here today.
Kevin: Last season, I won 4 challenges, this season, so far, I've won 0. That is considerably less than 4.
Emma: I don't trust anyone in this game. As far as I'm concerned, if I don't win, I'm going to the jungle.
End Confessional
The bus brought the superstars to a field, where they saw a jail cell, with 6 bowls inside. 40 yards away from the cell, there was a white line spray painted in the grass.
Confessional
Kevin: Jail cell, breakout. Ha. Miz, you're fucking hilarious.
End Confessional
"Hello superstars, welcome to your 4th challenge on WWE Fresh Meat. Today, you'll be playing Jailbreak. You and your partner will have to escape from that jail cell, by finding three keys that are located inside six bowls of 'prison slop.' The blue key will unlock the male team member's handcuffs, the red key will unlock the female team member's handcuffs, and the silver key will open the jail cell. You'll each be suited up in 'jailbird' jumpsuits, your hands will be handcuffed behind your backs, and your ankles will be in shackles."
"Wait, so we have to..." Alexa began, before covering her mouth in disgust.
"That's right. Each player has to search through each bowl of slop, using only their faces and mouths."
The superstars all groaned in protest.
"Once a team has found the three keys that are needed to unlock each other's handcuffs and the jail cell, both players will sprint down a 40-yard dash, with their legs still in shackles, to the finish line. The team that does this in the fastest time will be immune from tomorrow's jungle vote, and the team with the slowest time will automatically be SENT to the jungle. Alexa, Seth, you guys won the last challenge, meaning you'll choose the order for this one."
Alexa and Seth stepped to the side with the clipboard, while the other teams put on their jumpsuits. When they were finished, they handed Miz the clipboard and put their own jumpsuits on.
"First up, Sasha and Cesaro!"
Confessional
Sasha: I have to shove my entire face into "jail slop"?
Cesaro: Going first in this challenge is a huge disadvantage, because no one is really sure what to do, or how this challenge will go until they see it.
End Confessional
Sasha and Cesaro stood in the cell, handcuffed and shackled.
"Cesaro, Sasha, your sentence starts now!" Miz said, blowing the airhorn.
Cesaro and Sasha each immediately stuck their faces in bowls as the rest of superstars watched in disgust.
Sasha, her face covered in "slop", spit out a silver key, and stuck her face into another bowl.
Cesaro switched to another bowl as well, as Sasha grabbed the blue key with her lips.
Cesaro found the red key and bent down, trying to open Sasha's handcuffs with his mouth.
Once he got them open, she grabbed the blue key and unlocked his, before grabbing the silver key and unlocking the cell. Cesaro and Sasha took off running, and immediately fell, as the superstars laughed. They got up and started hobbling towards the finish line until Miz blew the airhorn.
Confessional
Cesaro: That challenge was difficult, but I think we finished with a good time.
Sasha: Kids... don't go to prison.
End Confessional
"That stuff is disgusting." Sasha shuddered, rejoining the superstars, as the crew replaced the 6 bowls with 6 new ones.
"Next up, Roman and Asuka."
Confessional
Roman: No communication necessary? No problem. Let's win this. For some reason, Sasha and Cesaro weren't smart enough to unlock their handcuffs as soon as they found the key, so we'll blow their time out of the water.
End Confessional
"Roman, Asuka, your sentence starts now!"
When Miz blew the air horn, Roman and Asuka immediately each stuck their face in a bowl
Roman quickly found the red key and used his mouth to unlock Asuka's handcuffs.
Asuka put her hand into a bowl and Miz immediately blew the airhorn.
"Disqualification!"
"WHAT!?" Roman yelled, as Kevin laughed.
"You must search through each bowl of slop using only your mouths."
"But we found the key!"
"You have to find all 3 keys before you're allowed to start using them, dumbass!" Kevin yelled.
Confessional
Roman: So, because of a bullshit rule that makes ZERO sense, Asuka and I are going back to the jungle.
End Confessional
"Up next, Bayley and Big E."
Confessional
Bayley: I'm not necessarily looking forward to this challenge, but I'm not backing down. Let's do this!
Big E: If the only way to avoid the jungle is to serve my debt to society, so be it. Let's get this challenge done.
End Confessional
"Big E, Bayley, your sentence starts now!"
Big E and Bayley immediately stuck their faces into bowls, Bayley's bowl didn't have a key.
Bayley switched to another bowl, finding that it also didn't have a key, as Big E found the silver key and switched to his second bowl.
Big E found the red key as Bayley switched to her third bowl, which also didn't have a key.
Confessional
Bayley: I got prison slop in my mouth and up my nose three times, and I didn't even find a key. Not liking this challenge so far.
End Confessional
When Big E found the blue key, he unlocked Bayley's handcuffs, she unlocked his, and they unlocked the cell door, hopping for the finish line. When they finally reached it, Miz blew the air horn.
"I didn't even find a key!" Bayley exclaimed, wiping her face with the towel.
"Next, we have Finn and Emma."
Confessional
Emma: This challenge looks gross as fuck.
Finn: If you leave a demon in a cage, you're gonna come back to an empty cage.
End Confessional
"Emma, Finn, your sentence starts now!"
Finn and Emma both stuck their faces into the slop, and quickly each found a key (Finn, red, Emma, silver).
They each stuck their faces into different bowls. Emma found nothing, while Finn found the 3rd and final key.
They quickly escaped their handcuffs, open the cage, and hopped to the finish line, as Miz blew the air horn.
Confessional
Emma: For lack of a better term, we made that challenge our bitch,
Kevin: Emma and Finn had the best time so far, and it's not even remotely close.
End Confessional
Finn and Emma rejoined the superstars, as the crew once again replaced the 6 bowls with 6 new ones.
"Next up, John Cena, and Peyton Royce."
Confessional
Peyton: A win here would prove a lot to the house. We're one of the best teams here , and it's time to start proving it.
Cena: I'm nowhere near ready to go home yet. We need to stay out of the jungle, and the #1 surefire way to do that, is to win the challenge.
End Confessional
"John, Peyton, your sentence starts now!"
Cena immediately stuck his face into a bowl, while Peyton hesitated.
"Come on, Peyton, let's go!" Miz called out.
Peyton winced, closed her eyes, and stuck her face into a bowl. She immediately spit out a red key, as Cena stuck his face into a second bowl.
"I can't do this anymore." Peyton said, desperately trying to shake the slop off of her face.
Cena found the silver key and stuck his face into another bowl, finding nothing.
"You look in this one, I'll do the last one." Cena said.
"I'll pass."
Cena rolled his eyes and stuck his face into another bowl. He found nothing, meaning the blue key was in the final bowl.
Once he found it, they undid each other's handcuffs, opened the cage, and hopped to the finish line, as The Miz blew the airhorn.
"Next up, Kevin and Dana."
Confessional
Kevin: All we have to do, is stick out faces into bowls, then hop around without falling. This is most likely the easiest challenge we'll face all season. Please. PLEASE tell me Dana Brooke won't find a way to fuck this up.
Dana: Kevin and I haven't had the best of luck, but this is a nice easy challenge that can help us get back on track.
End Confessional
"Kevin, Dana, your sentence starts now!"
Kevin immediately found the silver key and spit it out, as Dana found nothing in her first bowl.
They both stuck their face into second bowls. Kevin found a blue key, Dana again found nothing.
Kevin stuck his face into another bowl, and found the red key.
They struggled to unlock each other's handcuffs. Once they did, they unlocked the cage, they began hopping to the finish line.
Dana fell down, while Kevin didn't even look back. Dana got back up and began hopping again, but fell again as Kevin crossed the finish line.
The superstars laughed as Dana fell a third time, before she got up and crossed the finish line.
Miz blew the airhorn.
Confessional
Kevin: She found a way to fuck it up. Way to go, Dana.
End Confessional
"Next up, Seth and Alexa."
Confessional
Alexa: We've won 2 out of 3 challenges so far, and we definitely wanna keep our momentum going here.
Seth: This challenge is a bit of a curveball. It's not hard at all, but I can't necessarily guarantee a win here.
End Confessional
"Seth, Alexa, your sentence starts now!"
Seth and Alexa both stuck their faces into bowls, and after a while, realized neither of them had a key.
They both switched to new bowls. Alexa found a blue key, Seth found nothing.
They stuck their faces into the 5th and 6th bowls, finding the final two keys.
Alexa and Seth quickly got each other out of their handcuffs, opened the cage, and hopped the 40 yards to the finish line.
The Miz blew the airhorn.
Confessional
Peyton: I have no idea who won this challenge. After having to stick our faces in that shit, I think we ALL lost.
End Confessional
The superstars gathered in front of The Miz.
"Before we read off your times, our 7th place team, that got disqualified, and will be going to the jungle, the team of Asuka and Roman Reigns."
Confessional
Roman: I don't know which one of these teams we'll be facing in the jungle, but whoever it is, they better pray to whoever they think is up there, cause the Roman-Asuka ass kicking tour is headed to a jungle near them.
End Confessional
"Our team with the worst time today, in 6th place, with a time of 2 minutes and 55 seconds, Kevin Owens and Dana Brooke."
Kevin sarcastically clapped, as Dana hung her head.
"In 5th place, with a time of 2 minutes and 10 seconds, John Cena and Peyton Royce."
"Maybe if we BOTH looked through the slop..." Cena said.
Peyton said nothing, still looking at Miz.
"In 4th place, with a time of 2 minutes flat, Bayley and Big E."
Bayley looked a bit surprised at how well they did.
"In 3rd place, finishing in 1 minute and 57 seconds, Sasha Banks and Cesaro."
Sasha looked visibly annoyed while Cesaro shrugged.
"In 2nd place, with a time of 1 minute and 45 seconds, Seth Rollins and Alexa Bliss."
Seth and Alexa rolled their eyes, as Emma's smile grew wide, and Finn remained stone faced.
"Meaning today's challenge winners, who are safe from elimination, Finn Balor and Emma!"
Confessional
Emma: It feels great to actually win a challenge. It's yet another sign that this season is a lot different than last season for me. The days of Emma being forgotten are OVER!
Finn: This is our first win of the season, albeit in an easy challenge, but history doesn't remember the specifics. They remember who won, and who lost. We won, and 12 other superstars lost today.
End Confessional
"The challenge bus is here to take you back to the house. Tomorrow, you'll vote to determine which team will face Roman and Asuka in the jungle. You can vote for anyone except Emma and Finn Balor."
The superstars boarded the challenge bus.
Confessional
Sasha: I called a meeting between myself and Cesaro, Bayley and Big E, Finn and Emma, and Roman and Asuka, because, quite simply put, we need to find a way to make sure Kevin NEVER has enough power to influence any voting in this house ever again.
Roman: Sasha tells me she wants to discuss possible teams that we might face in the jungle. Sounds like she's up to something to me.
End Confessional
Roman, Sasha, Cesaro, Bayley, Asuka, Big E, Emma, and Finn all sat in the blue room, with the door locked.
"So what's this about, exactly?" Roman asked.
"Well, I wanted to see where you guys' heads were at before this vote, that way, instead of everyone just throwing a vote out tomorrow, we can reach a group decision today, and out vote Kevin, Seth and Cena." Sasha shrugged.
"Alright, well. I feel like Seth and Alexa are a very strong team, but they can't beat us head to head."
"I was thinking the same thing." Emma nodded.
"I don't know about that." Sasha said, awkwardly.
Roman raised his eyebrows.
"So what are you thinking then, boss lady?"
"I think Cena and Peyton pose a huge threat to everyone in a final challenge, and they should be taken out before Seth and Alexa."
"Cena and Peyton?" Roman laughed.
"Cena never gives up, and he's hard to beat at anything, and Peyton is just as good, if not better than Alexa." Bayley noted.
"Seth and Alexa win like every challenge." Cesaro said.
Sasha stood up.
"You guys aren't thinking long term. Final challenges require, grit, determination, stamina, and mental toughness. Alexa has literally none of that."
"And Peyton Royce does?" Roman asked, with another laugh.
"Look, I'm not saying she's Charlotte, I'm just saying she's better than Alexa. I'd rather face Seth and Alexa in a final than face Cena and Peyton."
"Then you're stupid." Emma replied, flatly.
"I'm the only person in this entire room that's actually been in a final challenge, I know what I'm talking about here, Alexa wouldn't last an hour in one." Sasha said.
Roman laughed again.
"And Peyton Royce would?"
"It's not just about Alexa and Peyton! Cena would do better than Seth in a final."
"What drugs are you on and where can I buy them?" Big E asked.
"Look, I know he got eliminated early on WWE Rivals because of the whole Orton throwing the challenge thing, but he's JOHN CENA!"
"Seth is Seth Rollins though." Emma shrugged.
"But Cena would have just a little bit more determination and will to win than Seth will, along with a clear strength advantage, and Peyton would do WAY better than Alexa."
"I'm agreeing with Sasha, guys, Cena and Orton being eliminated blew the game wide open last season, and it'd be best to get him eliminated as soon as possible." Bayley said.
"Of course you're agreeing with Sasha, she thinks for you and you blindly follow everything she says." Roman said.
"I can think for myself." Bayley replied, uncharacteristically angrily.
"Stop trying to make this about me and Bayley, Roman."
"I'm not trying to make this about anything. Actually, if anything, I think you just don't respect Alexa as a competitor and don't wanna admit her team is one of the best in the house."
Sasha smiled.
"Really? That's funny, because I think you're just scared to go against Cena in a jungle again, because you barely beat him last time."
"Look, I understand you're trying to sway the vote, but come on. I'm scared of Cena? That's the best you got?"
"You have Asuka, he has Peyton Royce. The only way they could beat you is if YOU drop the ball. And that scares you, so you don't wanna face them." Sasha said.
Roman stared into space.
"I can feel my brain cells dying after listening to what you just said."
"If you think Peyton and Cena suck so bad, and Seth and Alexa are so good, wouldn't you rather go against Peyton and Cena anyway?" Bayley asked.
"I'm not tryna waste my time with a 40 year old man and a mediocre female player when I could be taking out the most successful team in the game right now. Seth and Alexa need to get outta here, let's stop beating around the bush and run it." Roman said crossing his arms.
"And I don't think Alexa can make it through a final challenge, therefore I would rather keep her here, and get rid of the BEST GUY IN THE COMPANY." Sasha said, making eye contact with Roman at the end of her sentence.
"Look Sasha, I know you're young, you probably grew up watching Cena, thinking he's some super hero or something. The truth is, he's just a guy. An old guy. And I'm THE guy."
"You sound like a scared guy to me."
Finn, Big E, and Bayley laughed a bit, as Roman rolled his eyes.
"We never know when our next chance to get Seth and Alexa out of here is."
"You're ducking Cena the same way Kevin was ducking you on Rivals."
"I'm gonna vote with you, and vote Cena and Peyton into the jungle, specifically to shut you up. And when I win, I want an apology, for wasting my time, and wasting an elimination that could've been important in this game, all because you still believe that old wannabe Hogan can beat me." Roman said.
"Glad we could reach an agreement." Sasha smiled.
Confessional
Sasha: This is a win-win situation here. If Roman and Asuka win, Kevin loses more power. If Roman and Asuka lose, we become the best team in the house.
Roman: I've beaten Cena before, Peyton doesn't stand a chance against Asuka, this jungle is a complete waste of my time. But... let's do this.
End Confessional
The next day, The Miz met with the superstars in the living room.
Confessional
Seth: I have a creeping suspicion that Alexa and I can get voted in. We've won more challenges than everyone here, and it could be about time the rest of the house takes notice and tries to get us outta here.
Alexa: A head to head match up with Roman and Asuka is NOT favorable for us. We definitely need to avoid that.
End Confessional
"Alright superstars, it's time to decide who will face Roman & Asuka in tomorrow night's jungle. Each team gets one vote, you can vote for anyone except yesterday's challenge winners, Emma and Finn. I'll be back in 20 minutes, have fun."
"Our vote is for Cesaro and Sasha." Alexa said, immediately.
Sasha laughed a bit.
"Sasha and Cesaro." Kevin added.
"Our votes for Sasha and Cesaro as well." Cena said.
"Cena and Royce." Big E said.
"We second that." Sasha nodded.
Seth and Alexa looked confused, but relieved. John remained poker faced, while Peyton was visibly freaking out.
"Third." Emma added.
Roman sighed.
"Fourth."
"I'll go get The Miz." Cesaro said, leaving the room.
"This is gonna be interesting." Cena smirked, rubbing his hands together.
"I wouldn't count on it." Roman said.
Bayley and Miz returned.
"We've reached a consensus?"
"John and Peyton." Emma said.
"Interesting. Tomorrow night, Roman Reigns and Asuka will face John Cena and Peyton Royce in the jungle. Good luck, see ya tomorrow night."
Confessional
Peyton: I don't like this match up for us, at all. Asuka dominates everything, and I'm not sure if Cena can even that out against Roman.
Roman: Old guy, meet THE guy.
Cena: This is a blessing in disguise. Roman and Asuka are arguably the most dangerous team in the house, and we have a chance to take them out, and prove our own worth.
End Confessional
That night, Bayley and Big E sat alone in the blue room.
"...E, I got a question."
"Go ahead."
"Do you think Sasha makes all my decisions for me?" Bayley asked.
"Uh..." Big E awkwardly began.
"It's just.. I was thinking about what Roman said earlier, and I know I always ask for her opinion and agree with her on everything but that's because I want to. I can do whatever I want, I'm not just Sasha's little puppet... am I?"
"I wouldn't call you a puppet, but I do think Sasha's clearly the leader of the alliance."
"Which is fine. Every group needs a leader. right? Not everyone can be a leader."
"Right."
"Yeah... who cares what people think? Sasha's smart, she's my friend, and she has my back, and I trust her."
Confessional
Big E: I'm not saying I think Sasha would turn on us. But I'm not gonna be caught off guard and unprepared if it does happen. Only one team can win that $25,000,000, and it's gonna be us.
End Confessional
"Who y'all got in those finals predictions?" Roman asked, looking around the connected living room and kitchen.
Sasha, Kevin, Cesaro, Dana, Finn, Emma, Seth, and Alexa were scattered across the two rooms.
"Me and Finn, Sasha and Cesaro, you and Asuka." Emma said.
"Forgetting someone?" Alexa asked.
Emma thought for a bit.
"Nope."
"I got me and Asuka, Seth and Alexa, and Kevin and Dana some fucking how." Roman said, as Finn chuckled.
"Well at least you realize that me making the final is an inevitability." Kevin said.
"You're funny, Roman." Sasha laughed.
"How so?"
"To miss the final challenge, we'd have to be eliminated in a jungle. Who the hell here can beat us?"
"Me and Asuka."
"Maybe." Sasha shrugged.
"We'd kill you and Cesaro." Seth said, confidently.
"Not with that partner of your's." Sasha laughed.
Alexa looked offended.
"Excuse you?"
"Nothing." Sasha smiled.
"We've won 2 of the 4 challenges, and the two we didn't win, we got second place, what are you talking about?" Alexa asked, looking annoyed.
"What could you possibly beat me in, Alexa?"
"Anything involving intellect, that's for sure."
Kevin and Dana almost burst into laughter, as Seth cracked up a bit.
"Intellect? You don't even do anything. Seth does all the work, and you stand there and look pretty." Sasha said.
"Aww, you think I'm pretty?" Alexa smiled.
The superstars, even Sasha, laughed.
"Gorgeous." Sasha said, rolling her eyes.
Confessional
Alexa: I don't care about being respected as a competitor. I care about WINNING. Hate me all you want, say I suck, do all of that. I won't be able to hear you over the sound of this $25,000,000 first place prize.
Sasha: It's getting down to the nitty gritty. And soon, these weak ass "strong teams" are gonna get exposed. You can't hide behind your partner forever.
End Confessional
The next night, the challenge bus took the competitors to the jungle, where they stood on the bridge over huge dirt field. In the field, there were two clear walls, creating a narrow pathway between them, so narrow that only one person could fit through at a time. There was a pole with a bell on it about 15 yards away form each side of the pathway.
Confessional
Cena: Hall Brawl. John Cena vs Roman Reigns, in Hall Brawl. Getcha popcorn ready, ladies and gentlemen.
Roman: I'm more than ready for this challenge, and I know Asuka is more than ready for this challenge. Now it's time to get it done.
Peyton: We're fucked.
End Confessional
"Ladies, gentlemen, welcome to the jungle. Asuka, Roman, come on down."
Asuka and Roman came down from the bridge, onto the field.
"You guys got last place in the challenge. Ready to play?"
Roman whispered something and Asuka's ear.
"Yup." Asuka said, as the superstars laughed.
"John, Peyton, please come down."
John and Peyton joined Roman and Asuka on the field.
"You guys got voted into the jungle. Any reason why?"
"I don't know, but it means bad news for these two." John said, pointing at Asuka and Roman.
Roman smirked.
"Today, you guys will be playing Hall Brawl. It's very simple. Peyton, Asuka, you two will put on a helmet and pads, and stand on opposite ends of that small pathway. When I blow the air horn, you'll both attempt to run to your bell. The first person to ring their bell wins. The only problem is, Asuka, your bell is going to be behind Peyton. And Peyton, your bell is behind Asuka. You'll have to run through the pathway, AND each other in order to ring your bell. Each time someone rings their bell, that'll be the end of that 'heat'. The first one to win 3 heats will earn a point for their team. Once Asuka and Peyton finish, Cena and Reigns will do the same. The first team to score 2 points wins. If the score is 1-1, we'll flip a coin, and the winning team decides which gender will compete in the tiebreaker round."
Peyton and Asuka put on their equipment and stood on opposite sides of the pathway.
"Alright ladies, Heat #1. 3...2...1..."
Peyton and Asuka began running towards each other, before Asuka completely ran her over, and rung the bell.
Roman clapped as Cena pulled Peyton to the side, whispering in her ear.
Confessional
Peyton: I'm not as fast, nor as strong as Asuka, so this'll require a little brain power.
End Confessional
"Asuka won the first Heat, it's 1-0 Asuka. Heat #2, you girls ready?"
Both girls nodded, lining up at the ends of the pathway.
"3...2...1..."
Miz blew the air horn again.
Peyton and Asuka took off running at each other again, Asuka tried to run Peyton over, but Peyton dropped down and crawled through Asuka's legs. They both ran to their bells and rang them around the same time.
The girls caught their breath, as The Miz and the camera crew looked at the footage.
"Asuka won the second heat. It's 2-0 Asuka."
Peyton crossed her arms, as Asuka smiled.
"Heat #3, Peyton you need this one to take it to Heat #4, Asuka, if you get this one, you get the point for your team. 3...2...1..."
The Miz blew the air horn, and Asuka and Peyton took off. Asuka shoved Peyton to the ground and jumped over her, running to her bell and ringing it.
Cena sighed and began to stretch, as Roman and Asuka high-fived.
The superstars eagerly looked on as Roman Reigns and John Cena suited up, and lined up at the ends of the pathway.
"Asuka won for the girls, It's Roman and Asuka - 1, John and Peyton - 0. Roman, you're 3 heats away from safety, Cena, you're 3 heats away from taking this thing into overtime. Alright fellas, Heat #1. Let's go. 3...2...1..."
The Miz blew the airhorn.
Reigns and Cena ran at each other. Cena lowered his shoulders as they collided, knocking Roman backwards, and onto the ground. The superstars gasped as Cena ran past Roman and rang the bell.
"You okay there, homie?" Cena asked, with a trademark smile, as Roman got back to his feet.
Roman said nothing, walking to the other bell.
"Cena won the first heat. It's 1-0 Cena. You guys ready for number 2?"
Both men nodded.
"3...2...1..."
Miz blew the air horn, Cena and Roman ran at each other, lowering their shoulders, but once again, Cena knocked Roman backwards and onto the ground. The superstars stared at each other, and the field, in shock, as Cena rang the bell once again.
Confessional
Kevin: Roman is definitely the guy... that's on the ground.
Big E: Cena is not only out powering Roman right now, he's outsmarting him by maintaining a lower center of gravity, and to be honest... Roman's looking kinda booty right now.
End Confessional
The guys stood at the ends of the walls, ready to attack each other a third time.
"Heat #3. Cena, if you win this, you get the point for your team. Roman, if you get this, we keep going. 3... 2... 1..."
Miz blew the airhorn, Cena and Reigns ran at each other again. As Cena lowered his shoulders, Roman jumped over him, and ran to his bell, reaching it just before Cena reached his, and ringing it.
"Cena's up 2-1. Same stakes here for Heat #4. Cena, you're playing for the point, Roman you're playing to take it to another heat. Are we ready guys?"
Both men gave a thumbs up.
Miz blew the air horn. Roman jumped over Cena once again, but Cena pushed him even higher in the air. The extra second or two that Roman was in the air before landing allowed Cena to get to his bell just before Roman did.
"Son of a bitch." Roman said, slapping the bell out of frustration.
"That was fucking genius." Seth noted.
Peyton hugged Cena."
Confessional
Sasha: Now we're going into overtime.
Seth: This coin-flip is gonna be very important.
End Confessional
Miz, Cena, Asuka, Roman, and Peyton met in their original pre-challenge positions.
"Cena won for the guys, and we're tied up 1-1. Overtime rules are very similar to the normal rules, except the first to win TWO heats will get the point. We will flip a coin, someone call it."
"Heads." Roman said immediately.
"If it lands on heads, Roman and Asuka will decide which gender competes in this overtime, if it lands on tails, Peyton and John will decide."
Miz flipped the coin.
"It's tails."
"Round 2, Big Dog." Cena said, walking back to the challenge area.
Roman followed him and they both got suited up.
"Alright fellas. It's all on the line. Overtime. Heat #1 of 3. 3...2...1..."
Miz blew the air horn and both superstars took off. Roman managed to get lower than Cena this time, and knocked him onto the ground, running past him and ringing the bell.
Kevin watched, visibly nervous.
"That's 1-0 Roman. Cena, you need this to take it to a 3rd and final heat. Roman, you win this, Cena & Peyton are going home. Heat #2 starting in 3...2...1..."
Miz blew the air horn.
They both took off again, before they collided, Cena went right at Roman's legs, sending him flying in the air and landing on his back while he ran to ring his bell.
The superstars anxiously watched as they both set up for Heat #3.
"Wow. It's all tied up. The next person to ring one of those bells will save them, and their partner from elimination. Ready? Heat #3 of 3. 3...2...1..."
Miz blew the airhorn and Roman and John charged at each other once again.
They both lowered their shoulders, and Cena once again, knocked Reigns backwards and onto the ground.
"No!" Asuka shouted, as Cena ran past, ringing his bell for a final time.
"YES!" Peyton exclaimed.
"THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, CENA!" Kevin cheered, clapping as the rest of the superstars looked in shock. Roman didn't even look at anyone. He simply took his helmet off and sat it down, between the walls.
Confessional
Peyton: Is this real!? We really just won!?
Cena: The two biggest names in the business, going head to head, 1 on 1, the bright lights on, the pressure, on, and one person has to fold? Well you know for damn sure it ain't gonna be John Cena.
End Confessional
"John, Peyton congratulations. You won tonight's jungle, you may rejoin your fellow superstars."
John and Peyton shook hands with both Roman and Asuka, before returning to the bridge.
"Roman, Asuka, sadly, this ends your time here in Canada."
The superstars clapped and a few waved goodbye as Roman and Asuka walked into the distance, with crew members following them, carrying their suitcases.
Confessional
Roman: It sucks. I was that close to staying in the house. It was a fluke, and I know if it was best 3 of 5 in that overtime, I just KNOW I would've won. I guess sometimes, the guy doesn't get the win. Cena, you're a hell of a competitor, and more importantly, you a strong ass old man, and I respect the hell out of you for it.
End Confessional
"John Cena, Peyton Royce, Seth Rollins, Alexa Bliss, Kevin Owens, Dana Brooke, Cesaro, Sasha Banks, Big E, Bayley, Finn Balor, and Emma. Half of those names are the names of people who will make the final challenge of WWE Fresh Meat. The other half of those names, are the names of people who WON'T make it. There are 3 more challenges, the next one is tomorrow, rest up guys."
The challenge bus came and picked up the superstars, taking them back to the house.
