In the gym...

At the wrestlers training center, Eli Drake plays basketball in a rough and unprofessional way, in fact he hits the ball so hard that it falls to Daffney (who was in a yoga session).

Daffney: "You did it on purpose, Eli!"

Eli Drake: "I would have wanted to, so shut your mouth."

AJ notices this, thinks of something to get even, approaches Daffney trying to cheer her up.

AJ Styles: "Are you okay?"

Eli hits the ball again, but AJ stops it with his hand...in an unusual way for everyone.

Eli Drake: "AJ, give me the ball."

AJ looks at him.

Eli Drake: "What do you expect?"

AJ Styles: "Give me a moment."

AJ winks at Daffney, walks a little with the ball.

AJ Styles: "Do you want us to behave like children?...ok, do you want this ball?...come and look for it, try to take it from me."

Eli lets out a laugh.

Eli Drake: "Really?...okay."

Eli accepts his challenge, tries to catch the ball, but AJ taunts him several times by pretending to throw it and giving him a small hit on the back with the ball. AJ enjoys it, the partners around can't help but laugh.

AJ Styles: "Game changer, how about...without seeing?".

AJ stretches out his hand with the ball and covers his eyes, to further increase his back, Eli tries to take the ball, but incredibly he can't take it off, it's as if it were attached to his hand.

AJ Styles: "What's up Eli?...very hard?"

Eli is already tired of AJ mocking him, he understands that he is challenging him so that AJ can score a basket.

Eli Drake: "Is that what you want AJ?...Come on!".

AJ dribbles the ball, runs, charges Eli...he takes a big jump...and hits!...but at the same time he breaks the backboard, before everyone's astonished gaze. After this, the coach calls his attention and scolds AJ, charging him a fine for unprofessional behavior and public damage, he calls his uncle Ray to help him with the payment, when he finds out that he is stunned.

AJ Styles: "Man, we have plenty to pay for the board."

Ray Neal Jones: "I don't care about the board, is it true what the coach said?...that you humiliated Eli?".

AJ Styles: "Well, yes...so what?...he deserved it."

Ray Neal Jones: "Was he the one who gave you that legitimate hit?"

AJ Styles: "Yeah, but...someone had to get him off his cloud."

Ray Neal Jones: "So this was all for revenge, I hope you're satisfied...I want you to know that this is why I had to change my shift at work, so I need you to go pick up Aunt Karen at 9:00 on the night, do we understand each other?

AJ with his head down answers.

AJ Styles: "Yes."

Ray realizes that Mickie James is there watching them.

Ray Neal Jones: "I know her, yes, she's the one on your computer."

Ray speaks directly to Mickie.

Ray Neal Jones: "He has you on his computer, I do his laundry." Sarcastic tone.

Ray leaves, AJ talks a little embarrassed with Mickie.

AJ Styles: "That you see there is my uncle, a little reckless."

Mickie James: "Am I really on your computer?"

AJ Styles: "Well, it's just...I have a picture of when we both entered TNA, remember?...as the new rookie team."

Mickie James: "Of course."

AJ Styles: "He must have seen when he was tinkering with some things."

Mickie James: "And do you touch up a lot?" Sarcastic tone.

AJ Styles: "Don't invent."

They both laugh.

AJ Styles: "It's not what I meant."

Mickie James: "Were you suspended?"

AJ Styles: "No, I just paid a fine."

For some reason, tension arises between the two...in a good way.

AJ Styles: "Hey, oh, you think...that, you and I...want...".

Mickie James: "I want what?"

AJ Styles: "I don't know, maybe... one day, I don't know... so, we can do something else, if you want."

Mickie James: "Yeah, one of those."

AJ Styles: "Really?"

Mickie James: "Sure."

AJ Styles: "Only, now I can't."

Mickie James: "Yeah, me too."

Obviously there is a spark between the two, as if they are mutually attracted. After a match against Alex Shelley, AJ does a bit of skateboarding, testing his new skills, discovering that he is more agile and defies gravity, doing impossible stunts in a warehouse, enjoying it a lot.
