The bus arrived at a field that had 4 mannequins arranged in the middle. Each mannequin was wearing one of the four jungle competitor's challenge shirts. The superstars looked extremely confused as they got off the bus.
"What's going on?" Kevin asked.
The Miz stood in front of the mannequins, smiling.
"I'll explain more when the other bus gets here." Miz smirked.
"Other bus?" Big E and Dana asked in unison.
"Oh, there it is!"
Another bus pulled up to the field.
The doors opened and Charlotte Flair walked out of them.
Confessional
Charlotte: Hey guys, long time no see, huh?
End Confessional
"What the fuck?" Sasha asked, as Asuka walked off of the second bus, followed by John Cena, Alexa Bliss, and Peyton Royce.
The Miz's smile grew even wider, as Becky Lynch, Nia Jax, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods got off of the bus.
Kevin nervously looked at Charlotte and mouthed "what is going on?" as Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and Seth Rollins got off of the bus, all smiling at Kevin.
Confessional
Roman: Ah, Kevin, you dumb son of a bitch. This is gonna be fun.
End Confessional
The eliminated superstars all stood behind The Miz.
"Hello Superstars, welcome to your final jungle. Today, you'll be playing 'Watch Your Back'. As you can see, there are 4 mannequins in that field. One mannequin represents Kevin Owens, one mannequin represents Bayley, one mannequin represents Big E, and one mannequin represents Dana Brooke. This challenge, is based on all of the backstabbing that went on throughout WWE Rivals, and so far on WWE Fresh Meat." Miz said, as the production crew brought out a bin of knives, and put them behind a line painted 20 yards behind the mannequins.
The remaining 4 teams looked confused, as the eliminated superstars lined up behind the bin.
"The challenge is to throw knives in the backs of the mannequins. If your mannequin has 5 knives in it's back, you'll be eliminated from this jungle. If both members of your team are eliminated, you won't be making my final challenge. Sounds simple enough, right? But there's a catch. YOU won't be throwing them. Your former WWE Fresh Meat castmates will."
"Oh, that's wonderful." Kevin said, sarcastically, while the rest of the superstars looked a little skeptical.
Confessional
Dana: I'm extremely worried about this challenge. I look out at that field of eliminated contestants, and I see a bunch of people that would love to stop Kevin Owens from making that final challenge.
Big E: I'm feeling safe. I have a lot of allies in that field. Xavier, Kofi, Becky. I'm feeling pretty confident.
Bayley: I don't like this. On WWE Rivals, I did everything I had to do to stay in the house, and then my fate was taken out of my control, and put into the hands of Summer Rae. NOW, we're here on WWE Fresh Meat, and I've done everything I had to do to stay in the house, and now my fate is once again being taken out of my control, and this time, being put into the hands of the eliminated contestants. This sucks.
Kevin: There's a higher chance of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, or Dean Ambrose making a mistake than there is of Dana Brooke actually doing something right. So I actually prefer this to facing Bayley and Big E head to head.
End Confessional
"Eliminated contestants, you will each be throwing one knife, you'll go one at a time, in the order of your elimination. And we'll alternate between women and men. And just to keep tradition, I guess I'll blow this airhorn."
Miz blew the airhorn as the contestants, except Kevin, chuckled.
"First up, Charlotte Flair."
Charlotte smiled, and grabbed a knife, throwing it right in the back of Bayley's mannequin's left shoulder.
Confessional
Bayley: So Charlotte comes back, and unsurprisingly, the first thing she does is stab me in the back. Again.
Charlotte: I can't stop Sasha from making the final challenge, but I can stop her little sidekick from joining her.
End Confessional
Sasha crossed her arms as Bayley sighed.
"Next up, Kofi Kingston."
Kofi grabbed a knife, and threw it into Bayley's mannequin's back, as Big E, Bayley, and Sasha reacted in shock.
"What the fuck!?" Big E yelled, as Kevin smiled.
"YOUR alliance got us eliminated in the first episode!" Kofi called out from the field, with a smile.
Confessional
Kofi: I didn't forget that Bayley and Big E voted for us to go into the jungle in episode 1. No hard feelings, I understand it's all part of the game, but so is this.
Kevin: Sasha's shady moves and unlikable personality might actually come back to bite BAYLEY. We have a chance at winning this.
End Confessional
"Next up, Nia Jax."
Nia immediately threw a knife in the back of Bayley's mannequin. Sasha rolled her eyes, while Bayley tried to hide her anxiousness, realizing everyone was throwing at her.
Confessional
Nia: Sasha, just so you know. That's for you.
End Confessional
"Quick score update, Bayley has 3 knives, Kevin has 0, Dana has 0, and Big E has 0."
"Thanks Miz. It was hard to keep count." Emma said, sarcastically.
"Up next, Dean Ambrose."
Dean threw a knife in the back of Kevin's mannequin.
Kevin simply nodded.
"Next up, Becky Lynch."
Confessional
Bayley: I don't know if Becky is still mad at Sasha for eliminating her, she might want to take that out on me. I have no idea what's running through Becky's head right now.
End Confessional
Becky stood, holding the knife, as if she was thinking for a bit, before throwing the knife in the back of Kevin's mannequin, as Bayley and Sasha took a sigh of relief.
Confessional
Kevin (sarcastically): Yeah, yeah. Of course. Throw a knife in MY back. It's definitely my fault Sasha took advantage of your injury in the jungle and sent you home. Boy I tell ya, she's a smart one that Becky Lynch.
End Confessional
"Up next, Xavier Woods."
Xavier also threw a knife in the back of Kevin's mannequin.
"Bayley and Kevin each have 3 knives in their backs, Big E and Dana have 0. Up next, Asuka."
Asuka grabbed a knife and threw it in the back of Bayley's mannequin.
"WHY!?" Bayley screamed as Kevin began to laugh a bit.
"I don't think she likes you very much, Bayley." Miz said, as Asuka shrugged, with a smile.
"One more knife, and Bayley is eliminated from this jungle."
Bayley started to tear up a bit, but kept her composure, as Sasha stared down the line, mentally trying to predict who everyone else would throw at.
"Next up, Roman Reigns."
"A wonder who he's throwing at." Kevin said, sarcastically.
"Bro, I swear to God I'm not throwing at you." Roman said, with a smirk.
"Don't lie to God on national TV, Roman."
Roman looked up at the sky, before throwing a knife at Dana's mannequin, as the superstars, except Kevin and Dana, laughed.
"Bayley has 4 knives, Kevin has 3, Dana has 1, and Big E has 0. Up next, Alexa Bliss."
Alexa grabbed a knife, and threw it at Bayley's mannequin, but it barely missed. Sasha and Bayley laughed a bit.
Confessional
Sasha: Midget barbie might've just saved Bayley and Big E with that throw.
Alexa: First off, the sun was in my eyes. And secondly, maybe I'm just not good at stabbing people in the back. I'm an honest 100% trustworthy person that's never betrayed anyone.
End Confessional
"Tough luck, Miss Bliss. Next up, Seth Rollins."
Seth threw a knife through the back of Kevin's mannequin's head so hard that the end was poking out of the mannequin's forehead as the contestants gasped, and a few of them laughed.
"Wait, wait, wait, that's not the mannequin's back!" Kevin protested.
"Oh, shut up!" Seth called, from the field.
"Miz, you clearly said you get eliminated if you have 5 in your back!"
"It's in the BACK of your head, idiot." Seth said, as some of the superstars began laughing.
"Yeah, back of the HEAD. Not the back."
Miz walked over and briefly spoke with a few crew members, before returning to his original position.
"Kevin is right. No point." Miz said.
"WHAT!?" Seth yelled, as Dean, Roman, and Sasha all began shouting in protest.
Kevin cupped his hands around his mouth.
"I THINK HE SAID 'KEVIN IS RIGHT, NO POINT!'"
Seth rolled his eyes, going to the back of the line.
Confessional
Kevin: I just want to put this into perspective... Seth is the SMARTEST member of the Shield... and HE'S an idiot.
End Confessional
"Next up, Peyton Royce."
Peyton picked up a knife, and threw it at Bayley's mannequin, but it bounced off, and didn't stick in the mannequin's back.
Kevin rolled his eyes, as Bayley smiled a bit.
"Don't get too comfortable. Cena's not gonna miss." Kevin said, crossing his arms.
"Speaking of... up next, John Cena."
Cena grabbed a knife and threw it in the back of Bayley's mannequin, as Miz blew the airhorn.
"Bayley, you have been eliminated from this jungle. Kevin has 3 knives in his back, Big E has 0, Dana has 1. Up next, Charlotte Flair."
Charlotte threw a knife in the back of Big E's mannequin.
"Kofi Kingston, you're up."
Kofi threw a knife in the back of Dana Brooke's mannequin, as the superstars looked in shock, except Big E and Kevin.
"What the hell, Kofi!?" Dana yelled.
"You really thought Kofi would backstab Big E?" Kevin asked, as Big E laughed.
"Next up, Nia Jax."
Nia threw a knife in the back of Big E's mannequin.
"Nia, come on." Big E said, looking at her disapprovingly. She simply smirked in response.
"Next up, Dean Ambrose."
Dean threw a knife in the back of Dana's mannequin.
"Score update, Big E has 2 knives in his back, Dana and Kevin each have 3. Up next, Becky Lynch."
Becky threw a knife in the back of Kevin's mannequin.
"Becky, I just want you to know that I always disliked for no reason, but now I have a reason." Kevin said, as all the other superstars except Dana laughed.
"One more knife and Kevin is eliminated. Next up, Xavier Woods."
Xavier grabbed a knife and threw it in the back of Dana's mannequin, as Big E started to dance a bit.
"One more knife, and Dana is eliminated. Next up, Alexa Bliss."
"Come on Alexa, you got this!" Kevin called out.
"Aye, just remember he got you eliminated!" Big E called out.
"I didn't 'get her eliminated', I though they could beat Emma and Finn."
"Well obviously they couldn't, cause they're standing over there."
"Are you calling them losers? Alexa is NOT a loser. Alexa, I think Big E's trying to call you guys losers!" Kevin said, as Miz shook his head and laughed.
Alexa threw a knife in the back of Dana's mannequin, before covering her mouth as her eyes got huge. Kevin hung his head.
"YES!" Bayley screamed, as Miz blew the airhorn.
"ALEXA, WHAT THE HELL!?" Dana yelled.
"I was aiming for Big E, I swear!" Alexa shouted, still looking shocked.
"Dana is eliminated."
Confessional
Dana: Alexa NEVER liked me. I don't believe her B.S. for one second.
Alexa: My uh... um... my hand slipped... I guess... whoops. Sorry Dana... maybe my hand wouldn't have slipped if you didn't call me a wannabe Charlotte in episode 4, who knows?
End Confessional
"Up next, Seth Rollins."
"Seth, do you really think they wouldn't have done the same thing to you that I did?" Kevin asked.
"They didn't make me any promises, Kevin." Seth said, intentionally taking a long time to aim the knife.
"They are NOT gonna have your back next season."
"And neither are you, I got nothing to lose."
Seth pump faked, pretending to throw the knife as some of the superstars laughed.
"Seth, come on."
"Don't beg, just let it happen bruh." Big E said.
"Nah, go ahead, beg, I might change my mind." Seth smirked.
"Fuck you." Kevin said, walking over to his suitcases.
"Fuck you? That's the last thing you want to say to me before I make my decision?" Seth laughed.
"You're right, I meant to say fuck off."
"Remember when I said that decision was gonna come back to bite you!?" Seth called out, as Kevin grabbed his suitcases and began walking away from the challenge.
"Kevin! Kevin you're just leaving!?" Miz asked, as Dana began to cry, and Kevin kept walking.
"It's less fun without him here to see it." Seth frowned.
"I don't think he's coming back." Miz said, watching Kevin continue to leave.
Seth shrugged, and threw the knife in the back of Kevin's mannequin, and Miz blew the airhorn.
"Bayley, Big E, you will be joining Sasha and Cesaro, and Emma and Finn in the final challenge!" Miz exclaimed.
The superstars clapped, and Bayley hugged Big E, before running over and hugging Sasha.
Confessional
Bayley: FINAL CHALLENGE, HERE WE COME! I'm BEYOND excited. We're already guaranteed 5 million dollars if we FINISH the final challenge, and we can win even more!? I'm ready!
Big E: Emma, Finn, you guys are great competitors, I wish you all the luck, and success, blah blah blah, same to our allies Sasha and Cesaro, you helped us a lot along the way, blah blah blah, BUT... and I do mean but... HIDE YA BOOTIES! CAUSE ME AND BAYLEY ARE GONNA WHOOP EM! AND THAT'S A FACT!
End Confessional
"And Dana, you and Kevin made it very far, and played a great game, but unfortunately this ends your time here in Canada." Miz said.
The superstars clapped, and a few waved goodbye as Dana walked into the distance, with crew members following her, carrying her suitcases.
Confessional
Dana: It sucks. It absolutely sucks. We had no control, no chance to compete for our spot in the final, and I'm honestly devastated.
Kevin: If you think that next season, I'm not coming back with a god damn vengeance, and making every single one of those stupid motherfuckers who got me eliminated's lives a living hell, then you're dumber than Roman Reigns. And that's really fucking dumb.
End Confessional
"Eliminated superstars, thank you, but you ARE eliminated, so it's time for you to go back to the United States. Sasha, Bayley, Emma, Finn, Big E, Cesaro, YOU'RE going back to the United States too... Canada has been fun, but tonight, you're headed to Fairbanks, Alaska for your final challenge!"
The remaining superstars celebrated, while the eliminated superstars clapped begrudgingly, before getting back onto their bus, as the remaining contestants boarded theirs.
"This is so awesome! I can't wait!" Bayley exclaimed, sitting next to Sasha.
"Me either!" Sasha smiled, putting her arm around her.
Confessional
Sasha: I am immensely proud of Bayley, and I'm so happy she made it to her first final challenge. I can't wait to see her cross that finish line, and win that second or third place prize. She's really earned it. I mean... I know there's a like 5% chance that Bayley and Big E can beat me and Cesaro, but let's be realistic here. We're the elite team. We got rid of all the other elite teams. And now we're cruising to $25,000,000.
Bayley: I know for a fact Sasha's not gonna take it easy on me at all, and I know she'll rip my arm off and beat me with it if she has to to win this final challenge, and I hope she knows I'm willing to do the same. Whoever wins this final challenge is going to be more than deserving of it, cause no one's letting up on anyone.
Emma: Hi, in case you forgot, I'm Emma. I know there's a lot of people watching the show, debating on whether Bayley & Big E or Sasha & Cesaro is going to win the final challenge. Um, well, believe it or not... there's actually THREE teams in this final challenge. I know Finn and I don't get much camera time because we're not backstabbing liars, drama queens, or having sex with anyone in the house, but we're still here. We're definitely still here. And we're definitely gonna win this final challenge.
End Confessional
The superstars rode back to the house, packed their suitcases, loaded them onto the bus, and began the ride to the airport.
"Good luck, everyone!" Bayley smiled.
Emma simply put on her headphones.
"Thank you." Finn nodded.
"I'm happy that everyone here actually deserves it this season." Sasha said.
Bayley laughed, high-fiving Sasha.
That night, the superstars arrived at their new house, with each team getting their own bedroom.
Emma and Finn sat outside in chairs on their balcony.
"What do you think he's got planned?" Emma asked, casually.
"Hills, sleep deprivation, endurance running, and those fucking puzzles."
Emma smirked a bit.
"So will my partner be you, or The Demon?"
"I'm undecided." Finn said.
"Why?"
"I know I can win without him."
Confessional
Finn: The Demon will always be a part of me, but he doesn't make me. This final challenge is very important to me, and winning it with my best effort would make it so much sweeter.
Emma: I trust Finn. He knows his own capabilities, and Sasha and Bayley will be too busy competing with each other. I can't see us losing this final.
End Confessional
Sasha and Cesaro each layed on one of the twin beds in their bedroom.
"It's only like 8:00."
"You're gonna wish you had this sleep tomorrow. Goodnight." Sasha said, turning the light off, as Cesaro sighed.
Confessional
Cesaro: Sasha has been in a final challenge before, I understand that. But this season was way different than WWE Rivals, and I imagine that this final will be nothing like the Rivals final.
Sasha: I know how to win a final challenge. I was minutes away from doing it. As long as Cesaro follows my lead, we'll be winning $25,000,000.
End Confessional
"I'm heading to sleep." Big E said, leaving the kitchen.
Bayley sat at the counter, reading a magazine.
"Okay. I can't sleep, I'm too excited."
Confessional
Bayley: This final challenge is definitely going to be hard. But never impossible. Whatever you have to throw at me, Miz, I'm ready.
Big E: I hope tomorrows not as hard as the WWE Rivals final, but it probably will be. Either way, we don't really have a strategy. Just work hard, and see what happens.
End Confessional
The next day, at 1PM, all 6 superstars rode on the challenge bus, not talking to each other.
Bayley decided to break the awkward silence.
"I wonder how it'll start."
The bus began to stop, near a river, where Miz was standing.
"With water." Sasha said.
The superstars got off of the bus, and stood in front of The Miz.
"Superstars, welcome to the final challenge!"
The superstars all clapped, as Sasha noticed the kayaks behind Miz.
"Your final challenge actually starts tomorrow morning, but right now, we're gonna determine how you get there."
Everyone looked confused, except for Finn, who kept a straight face.
"Each of your teams will get a kayak and paddle down that river. You'll paddle for about an hour or so."
"An hour!?" Big E yelled.
"Or so." Miz shrugged.
Sasha sighed.
"After that hour, you should reach a boat. This boat is called the S.S. Fresh Meat. We've turned Vince McMahon's personal yacht into a mini-cruise ship. On this cruise ship, there's a delicious 5 star buffet, a spa, a pool, Wi-Fi, phones, computers, and TWO full size bedrooms."
The superstars eyes lit up with excitement, and even Finn raised his eyebrows.
"The reason there's only TWO bedrooms, is because the two teams that get to the ship first will spend the rest of their day, and night, on the ship. The other team, will spend their day and night in their kayak, paddling to catch up with the ship. But don't worry. There's beef jerky, peanuts, bread, and bottled water on the kayaks, that's pretty much a buffet right there, right?" Miz said, with a laugh.
Confessional
Sasha: I NEED to get on that ship. I do not wanna spend my night paddling a damn kayak, and I'd much rather spend it getting a well earned massage, and eating some exotic shellfish that I've never heard of.
End Confessional
The superstars each got into their kayaks, and grabbed a paddle.
"Sasha and Cesaro, are you ready?"
"Yup!" Sasha nodded.
"Big E and Bayley, are you ready?"
"Damn right!" Big E yelled, as Bayley laughed.
"Emma and Finn, are you ready?"
Emma simply gave a thumbs up.
"On your mark... get set..."
Miz blew the air horn, and the superstars began to paddle down the river.
