Kevin: I want to get to work on D-Day 3 bright and early. As far as I'm concerned, Seth and Dean don't need to go in and risk elimination to get rid of Brock and Roman, and Sami and I don't need to go in and risk elimination to get rid of Brock and Roman. Not counting us, let's look at the candidates. We have Rusev and Ziggler, meh. Apollo and Tyler, no chance in hell. And then...we have Enzo and Cass. They have a very unique set of advantages. They have Enzo's stupidity, which is the primary source of Enzo's fearlessness. They have Cass's size, and as you all know, you can't teach that. And they have a lot of experience working together and a lot of chemistry.
End Confessional
Kevin met with Enzo and Cass by the pool around 5:30 AM. They were the only ones awake.
"What'd you wake us up so early for? We got an elimination challenge today. What ya think we ain't never seen a sunrise or something?" Enzo asked, still groggy.
Kevin gave a fake laugh.
"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something important. Roman Reigns."
"Yeah, I still can't believe that whole Charlotte thing!" Cass exclaimed.
"No. Not that. Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. They're a good team. And I think it'd be beneficial to everyone, to get them out of here."
"Okay, and?" Enzo said, impatiently.
"Zo, relax." Cass said.
"Relax? I'm out here talking about who's a good team and who's not when I should be dreaming about rainbows, and lollipops, and things of the sort."
"It's not K.O.'s fault that you went to bed at 2 in the morning. Go ahead Kevin."
"I think the best way to get them out early, is to have a strong team throw the challenge, then vote Brock and Roman into the jungle."
Enzo and Cass looked at each other, before looking back at Kevin.
"You want us to throw the challenge?" Cass asked.
"Yes. I want you guys to throw the challenge, and eliminate Roman and Brock."
Enzo and Cass looked at each other again.
"Why us?" Enzo asked.
"You guys are a strong team, and I know you could get the job done."
"...aren't you and Sami a strong team?" Cass asked.
"Well...yeah, obviously."
"So why don't you go in?" Enzo asked, suspiciously.
"W...what?"
"You heard me. Why don't you take your own fat ass into the jungle and get rid of 'em?"
"Zo, chill! Sorry man, he's cranky...he's got a good point though."
"I know you and Enzo aren't worried about going into an elimination round. And I know you guys can win."
Confessional
Colin: So Kevin wants us to do his dirty work. Hmmm, ya know, ole K.O. seems to be willing to give up anything to get Brock and Roman out. But I know the one thing he'll never give up. That big ass ego.
End Confessional
"Oh okay. I get it. So you're scared of Brock and Roman." Cass said.
"Scared? I'm not scared of them, it's just easier not to go against them."
"So you think you can't beat em and we can?"
"It's not that either!"
"It's one of the two, so just tell me which one it is and we'll throw the challenge and hop in the jungle and squash those guys."
"I'm not afraid of them and I CAN beat them."
"Then do it." Enzo said, impatiently.
"But he wants us to do it."
"Right." Kevin said, agreeing with Cass.
"Because he can't do it."
"Look, what do you want, Cass?"
"I want you to say, 'Please Mr. Big Cass, I can't beat the big scary guys with tattoos, can you go in the jungle and beat them for me?'"
"Sami and I are more than capable of beating them."
"Fine, then say 'Please Mr. Big Cass, I'm AFRAID of the big scary guys with tattoos, can you go in the jungle and get rid of them?'"
"I'm not saying either of those because they're both not true."
"Alright." Cass shrugged. Enzo and Cass started walking towards the door.
"Where are you two going?"
"Back to bed." Enzo said, walking through the door.
"Are you serious?"
"Do you have something to say or no?" Cass asked, stopping in the doorway.
"...no. I don't." Kevin said, refusing to give in as Cass entered the house.
"Fucking ridiculous." He sighed, sitting down.
Confessional
Kevin: Enzo and Cass are right here, with a genuine chance to get rid of the best team in the house, and instead of doing it, they decide to be dickheads.
End Confessional
A few hours later, Roman, Brock, Enzo, and Cass sat out by the pool. Roman and Brock were in tears, laughing.
"So then I said, 'Fine, then say 'Please Mr. Big Cass, I'm AFRAID of the big scary guys with tattoos, can you go in the jungle and get rid of them?'"
"Did he say it?" Roman asked.
"Hell no." Enzo scoffed as Brock and Roman laughed harder.
"It's crazy man, we got Dean to worry about, we got Kevin to worry about."
"You got Apollo to worry about." Brock added. Roman, Enzo, and Cass began laughing.
"I didn't do anything to the kid."
"Except fuck the love of his life." Brock shrugged, as the guys laughed again.
"Look man, whatever was going on between Apollo and Charlotte has nothing to do with me." Roman said, sipping his root beer. Just then, Brie poked her head outside of the door.
"Clue time." She said. The guys followed her into the house.
The superstars met in the living room. Apollo stood in front of them, holding the cell phone.
"I just got a text from The Miz on our AT&T Cricket Wireless cell phone. It says, 'Hello superstars, on this challenge, I'm gonna leave half of you hanging. But don't worry, I'm sure you'll catch on quick. Your host, The Miz'."
Confessional
Charlotte: And the routine continues. Wake up, get a useless clue from the Miz, and go to challenge having no idea what's going on.
End Confessional
The challenge bus arrived at the house and took the superstars to a cliff near a lake. Hanging over the edge of the cliff was a zip line structure, designed for one person to zip line backwards down it, to the water, and a platform leading out to the zip line.
"Heights and water, heights and water. 'What should we have them do today Vince?', 'How about we dangle them high in the air then drop them in the water.'" Becky said as the superstars and The Miz laughed.
"I don't make the rules Becky, I just explain em'. Good morning superstars, welcome to your 5th challenge on WWE Rivals. Today, you guys will be playing, Catch and Release. It's pretty simple. One player from each team will start out suspended above water, attached to a zip line, while the other partner has to run down that platform jump onto their partner. The two partners will hold onto each other and have their momentum carry them (via the zip line) toward the water. Once a team has determined that they have gone far enough, they can hit their release harness, which drops them into the water. The teams then have to swim toward a red buoy, which indicates the finish line. The guy team that does this with the best time will be safe from the next jungle. The guy team with the worst time will be sent directly into the jungle. And the girls with the best time? I'll give you a million dollars. Since Brie and Lana won the last challenge, they'll determine the order for this one."
The teams split up to strategize while Brie and Lana wrote down the order. They handed the order to The Miz.
"First up, Brock and Roman."
The crew began setting up Brock above the cliff, while Roman prepared to run through him.
"Alright boys. 3...2...1..." When the Miz blew the air horn, Roman ran and leaped into Brock Lesnar. Hard. They swung down and back up, over the water, and as they hit their release harness, their momentum took very far out. They swam the very short distance to the buoy and hit it as Kevin rolled his eyes. The Miz blew the air horn.
Confessional
Brock: Roman basically ran into me like he was trying to take me out, and it took us practically to the finish line. If any guy team in the house can beat that time, they deserve a hundred million.
Roman: Looks like you're not getting me out this week. Better luck next time, Kev.
Seth: After another amazing performance from Reigns and Lesnar, I'm starting to think D-Day stands for "Disaster Day", because that's what every attempt to eliminate these two has turned into.
Dolph: Man. Roman ran into Brock HARD. The last time Roman rammed a blonde that hard was...well...not that long ago apparently.
End Confessional
"That was impressive. Next up. Becky and Sasha!"
"Of course." Sasha said, putting on the helmet and flotation vest as the crew members began helping her get into position, over the cliff. Becky put on her helmet and flotation vest as well.
Confessional
Sasha: In order to get a good time, Becky's gonna have to really run into me extremely hard. And I'm ready. In the words of Becky Lynch, 'come at me, bro.'
End Confessional
"Becky?" Sasha said, dangling over the 30 foot tall cliff.
"Yeah?"
"Knock the shit out of me."
"Gladly."
"Alright girls. 3...2...1..." Miz blew the air horn.
Becky ran full speed and jumped into Sasha and the two slid down the zip line, holding onto each other. They began swinging down to the water, so both girls instinctively rose their knees, making sure they didn't touch the water and slow down. Once they swung back into the air, Sasha hit the release harness and the two flew into the air, before crashing down.
"Perfect release, they're almost right at the buoy." Miz noted.
The two girls swam to the buoy and touched it as The Miz blew the air horn again.
"That's what I'm talking about, Bex!" Sasha yelled, high fiving Becky.
"I'm glad we could finally, CATCH, a break...get it? Cause the challenge was named-"
"Don't ruin it, Becky."
Confessional
Sasha: We. Fucking. OWNED that challenge. Beat that.
Dean: They did that so fast, I yawned once and missed their entire turn. True story.
End Confessional
"Excellent job, ladies. Next up, Apollo Crews, Tyler Breeze."
"Are you sure?" Apollo asked, worriedly. Tyler simply nodded and went over to be suspended above the cliff.
Confessional
Naomi: As we've seen before, Apollo crashing into Tyler doesn't end well for Tyler. He already almost broke the man's ribs and sent him home. So why in the hell do they think it's a good idea to have Apollo crash into Tyler again?
Kevin: Logically, it makes sense. Apollo's stronger and faster than Tyler. He can get more momentum. But...if I'm Tyler, I'm freaking out right now.
Tyler: I want to win, because no matter who's in control, we're always being put up near the beginning. We have 0 allies, and when it comes down to it, our names will be first on the chopping block. If I have to break something to do it, I'm ready...just not the face.
End Confessional
"Tyler, I really don't wanna do this to you." Apollo said, standing at the edge of the cliff, near the platform.
"I don't care if you knock me out. I'll wake up when we hit the water."
"I can't do this, man."
"Alright, just pretend I'm Roman." Tyler said. All of the superstars (except Charlotte) laughed and Apollo's expression went from worried to angry.
"3...2...1..." The Miz blew the air horn and Apollo ran into Tyler harder than Roman ran into Brock.
"Damn, that's what he wants to do to me?" Roman asked, as Apollo hit the release harness and they swam to the buoy. The Miz blew the air horn.
"Next up, Emma and Alicia."
Alicia unwillingly went over to be dangled above the cliff.
"Alright girls, you ready."
"No!" Alicia yelled.
"YES!" Emma exclaimed, ready to lunge at her.
"Alright...3...2...1..." Miz blew the air horn, and Emma took off, running into Alicia. They slid down the zip line, and their momentum was killed when their feet hit the water. They had no choice but to hit the release harness far, far away from the buoy. They swam for a while and eventually reached it, as The Miz blew the air horn.
"A for effort. Next up for the guys, Enzo and Cass."
Enzo got set up above the cliff.
"Look, this guy's got a punchline for everything, watch." Dean whispered to Becky.
"Enzo, you got a lot of balls letting Big Cass run full speed into you." Dean said.
"It's what I do. I got balls like Mahoney. R.I.P., how ya doin?" Enzo responded, quickly.
The superstars chuckled as Becky and Dean looked at each other and began laughing.
"3...2...1..." The Miz blew the air horn. Cass ran into Enzo and they began flying down the zip line. Cass was too tall to avoid hitting the water and slowing them down, and Enzo immediately hit the release harness.
"Zo what the hell!?" Cass said.
"Bro you hit the water."
"We could've kept going, don't be so impatient, man!"
"We were slowing down!" Enzo yelled.
"Whatever, just swim!"
The two began making the long, long swim to the buoy. Once they hit it, Miz blew the air horn.
Confessional
Kevin: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WAIT...WAIT WAIT...THEY...HAHAHAHAHA!...THEY DIDN'T WANT TO THROW THE CHALLENGE, AND THEY...OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS IS GREAT. THEY DIDN'T WANNA THROW THE CHALLENGE, SO THEY TRIED THEIR HARDEST, AND THEY ENDED UP GETTING THE WORST TIME OF THE DAY ALL ON THEIR OWN!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Enzo: The second we hit the water and start slowing down, I hit the release. I'm thinking, we fucked up on the dive, the sooner we start swimming, the better.
Colin: Enzo Amore just lost us the Catch and Release challenge.
End Confessional
Enzo and Cass were still arguing when they got back to the top of the cliff.
"Okay, everyone, you all saw Cass dragging in the water and us slowing down almost to a complete stop, right!?" Enzo asked.
"Bro, of course I was gonna drag in the water, I'm seven feet tall!"
"And ya can't, teach, that!" Kevin, Seth, Dean, Charlotte, Dolph, and Miz said in unison. All the superstars laughed except Enzo and Cass, who were still arguing.
"Up next, I need Naomi and Cameron."
Cameron walked over to the cliff crew to get set up.
"Hey Naomi, this is a crazy idea, but if you run backwards, you're gonna knock her like 50 yards into the water." Dolph said, as all the superstars laughed.
"I would, but I don't wanna kill her." Naomi chuckled.
"Here we go. 3...2...1..." The Miz blew the air horn and Naomi took off, jumping into Cameron. Their feet dragged in the water and they hit the release harness before swimming a long way to the buoy. The Miz blew the air horn again.
"Next up, Kevin and Sami!"
The crew set up Sami as Kevin put on his helmet and vest.
Confessional
Kevin: I'm gonna fucking steamroll Sami. Not because I really want to win, but because I hate Sami Zayn.
End Confessional
"3...2...1..." The Miz blew the air horn.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Kevin screamed, running into Sami, hard, and using the momentum to fly down the zip line. They hit the release harness and made it to the buoy with a good time, as the Miz blew the air horn.
Roman and Brock stood, confused, trying to figure out if they had a better time or not.
Confessional
Seth: I really think Kevin and Sami had the best time.
Sami: People seemed to think we won that one. It's kinda hard to time yourself when you go. All I know is, Brock and Roman went really fast.
Roman: Whoever wins, it's gonna be close.
End Confessional
"Next for the girls, Charlotte and Nattie!"
Natalya got set up above the cliff as Charlotte prepared to jump into her.
"Alright ladies, 3...2...1..." The Miz blew the air horn.
"OHHHHH!" The superstars screamed at the sound of Charlotte's helmet popping Natalya's flotation vest and ramming into her solar plexus.
Confessional
Natalya: So my genius partner decides, unlike everyone else, she's not going to leap into my arms and allow me to catch her, she's going to spear me. Viciously. And not only is she going to spear me viciously, she's going to ram her head directly into my chest, knock the wind out of me, and pop my life jacket.
Brie: That looked vicious. If my sister was Charlotte's partner, she would've gotten her implants busted.
End Confessional
Charlotte hit the release valve as they crashed into the water. She started to swim forward until she felt a hand grabbing her ankle from underwater.
"WHAT?" Charlotte yelled, looking back. She saw no one there.
She immediately reached down and pulled Natalya back above the water. Her eyes were closed, she was struggling to cough, and wasn't breathing.
"NATTIE!" Charlotte yelled, shaking her.
Confessional
Sami: We have several issues here. Natalya's gotten the wind knocked out of her, so she doesn't have the energy to swim. Also, her flotation vest is popped. So when she hits the water, she can't keep her self afloat because she can't breathe, let alone swim, and the vest can't keep her afloat. So she starts sinking underwater, while gasping for air. Which means she just took in a bunch of water into her lungs, and she's drowning.
End Confessional
Charlotte got behind her and grabbed her, laying backwards and using her own legs to backstroke to the buoy. Charlotte struggled to hold Natalya, who was still convulsing, struggling to breath.
"That's some fucking leg strength right there!" Brock noted.
"Dude, Nattie can't breathe! Is she seriously finishing the challenge before helping her!?" Sasha yelled.
Charlotte touched the buoy with her hand and Natalya's hand, while the Miz blew the air horn.
Charlotte began squeezing Natalya from behind, and the shorter blonde began coughing up a tiny bit of blood, and a lot of water from the lake.
The boat that took the superstars to shore so they could return to the top of the cliff arrived, and Charlotte drug Natalya into it, as she finished coughing and began gasping for air.
"Nattie, are you okay?" Charlotte asked. Natalya said nothing, still desperately taking in air and loudly exhaling.
Confessional
Dean: Ya know, if you can ignore the fact that we almost lost a human life for just one second. Charlotte just put up a major time. By herself. And they may have beaten Becky and Sasha...speaking of major time, Charlotte would've been doing major time for manslaughter if it wasn't for the good ole Heimlich maneuver...or is that womanslaughter...
End Confessional
"Ch...Charlotte." She began.
"Nattie...I...I just saved you life."
"You're the one who almost killed me in the first place!" Natalya managed to say, angrily. Her lungs weren't allowing her to yell at Charlotte as loud as she wanted to. Natalya coughed up a bit more water.
"At least we got a good time." Charlotte shrugged.
"You were more worried about finishing the challenge than helping me breathe!"
"You know, if you saved my life, AND won us the challenge, I wouldn't yell at you. I'd thank you."
Natalya rolled her eyes, too exhausted to argue with her. She coughed up more water.
A medic came and led Natalya to a small ambulance, which drove off, as Charlotte went back to the top of the cliff and triumphantly stood with the rest of the superstars.
"That was...interesting. Up next, Seth and Dean."
Dean got set up as Seth put on his gear.
Confessional
Seth: The plan is simple. We're gonna get out as far as we can, and Dean's gonna pull the release harness at the perfect time to launch us.
Dean: This challenge is pretty easy, I don't have to do much. Seth's gonna run into me, all I have to do is catch him. Then Seth's gonna pull the release and we're gonna swim to the buoy. Pretty simple if ya ask me.
End Confessional
"Alright guys. 3...2...1..." The Miz blew the air horn.
Seth ran into Dean and the two began sliding down the zip line. They lifted their knees, avoiding the water. When they swung to the highest point, closests to the buoy, they both did nothing, waiting for the other one to hit the release. They began to swing back as Dean hit the release, throwing them in the opposite direction.
"What the hell was that!?" Seth yelled as Dean began swimming. Seth immediately followed, and they made the long swim to the buoy, before The Miz blew the air horn once again.
Confessional
Kevin: Enzo hit the release to early, Dean hits the release too late. D-Day 1 failed because of Cena and Orton, D-Day 2 failed because of me, and now, when all is looking well for D-Day 3, Seth and Dean have to screw it up.
End Confessional
"WHY'D YOU HIT IT SO LATE!?" Seth yelled.
"You were supposed to hit it!" Dean responded, as they entered the challenge boat.
"We never agreed on that!"
"I'm pretty sure we did."
"I'm pretty sure we didn't!"
"Whatever." Dean said, rolling his eyes.
They returned to the top of the cliff to see a disappointed Kevin Owens, and a relieved Enzo and Cass.
"Last up for the girls. Brie and Lana."
"What's that stupid thing you do? Go Brie Mode? Yeah, do that." Lana said, as the crew members set her up, over the cliff. The superstars laughed as Brie finished strapping on her helmet.
"3...2...1..."
When Miz blew the air horn, Brie jumped into Lana and they slid down the zip line, before hitting the release and swimming a decent distance to the buoy. Once they hit it, the air horn blew again.
"And last, but not least. Rusev and Ziggler."
Confessional
Dolph: So obviously, Brie and Lana put me and Rusev up last, which is a bit of a blessing. It's time to use this to our advantage.
End Confessional
"Hey, Dolph!" Brock called out, as the crew put Dolph up on the zip line.
"Yeah?"
"How's it feel finally going on last during a WWE event?"
The superstars laughed as Dolph flipped him off.
"3...2...1..." The Miz blew the air horn.
Rusev jumped into Ziggler and held on as they slid down the zip line. They hit the release and swam to the buoy. The Miz blew the final air horn of the day.
The superstars all met back in front of the Miz, on the top of the cliff.
"Okay guys. Natalya's going to be fine. She's just at the local hospital to make sure she doesn't have any excess water in her lungs, so she doesn't get an infection or catch pneumonia or anything like that. She'll probably be back tonight, tomorrow morning at the latest. Charlotte, thank you for not letting her die...for a while we thought you were going to."
A few of the superstars laughed as Charlotte rolled her eyes.
"You're being a little dramatic." She said.
"YOU ALMOST KILLED NATTIE FOR A MILLION DOLLARS!" Sasha yelled.
"I mean, if I really thought she was gonna die, I would've helped her first. And besides, it's not my fault she starting drowning." Charlotte said, shrugging.
"YES IT WAS!" the other superstars said, in unison.
Charlotte simply sighed and rolled her eyes again.
"Anyway. We have two male teams that did pretty bad today. We got Enzo and Cass, and Seth and Dean...the team, that was in last place...and will be going to the next jungle, is...Enzo and Cass."
Seth fist pumped as Dean took a sigh of relief. Enzo and Cass looked pissed.
Confessional
Colin: Enzo hit the release harness to soon...I believe the technical term for it is, 'premature evacuation.' And now, we're in the jungle.
Seth: That was a close one. Dean almost fucked it up for us.
Dean: Seth and I are going to have to communicate better in the future. We got lucky this time, next time, that might be our asses.
End Confessional
"Now, I would say that there were two female teams that did great, but it would be more accurate to say, there are three FEMALES that did great Becky, Sasha, and Charlotte." The Miz said, as the superstars laughed.
"The winner, who will receive $1,000,000...Becky and Sasha!"
Becky and Sasha immediately began hugging and jumping while the rest of the superstars clapped.
Confessional
Sasha: WE DID IT! WE DID IT! WE WON A FUCKING CHALLENGE! FINALLY!
Becky: It feels great that we finally got a win. And they're not stopping here. Every single challenge from now on is ours for the taking, because we're the best female team here.
Charlotte: So Sasha and Becky got a perfect release, and they could barely beat me, by myself, swimming backwards, with just my legs, while trying to hold Natalya's panicking, drowning body. Congratulations! Really impressive, girls!
End Confessional
"There were also two male teams that did well. Roman and Brock, and Kevin and Sami."
Confessional
Roman: Based on what Enzo and Cass told us earlier, if we don't win immunity here, we're going into the jungle against Enzo and Cass.
Seth: The fate of D-Day 3 rests almost solely on this announcement.
End Confessional
"The team that won...and is safe from the jungle...Kevin and Sami!"
The superstars clapped in shock as Roman laughed, and shook his head.
"YES! THIS IS HOW EVERY CHALLENGE SHOULD BE! LET ME DO EVERYTHING! TIE SAMI UP, AND HAVE HIM JUST DANGLE THERE AND DO NOTHING!" Kevin screamed, as the superstars all laughed. Sami punched him in the arm.
Confessional
Sami: We finally got a win, and we're safe from the jungle. Now, I like Roman and Brock, they're cool guys. But they're a strong team. So now, it's time to vote them in against Enzo and Cass.
Kevin: So me and ole Ginger Snap got it done. This is the perfect day in the life of Kevin Owens. I won. Enzo and Cass looked stupid. And now, Brock and Roman are going back to the jungle.
End Confessional
"Congrats, fellas! The challenge buses are here to take you guys back to the house, tomorrow, you will vote a male team to compete in the jungle, against Roman and Brock. Have fun!"
Enzo, Apollo, and Cass both entered the red bedroom to change.
"Hey Apollo, man, no hard feelings, but we're voting you and Tyler in tomorrow." Cass said.
"I understand. I respect that you came and told me to my face instead of blindsiding me." He said, putting on one of his signature grey shirts on.
Confessional
Apollo: Me and Tyler have a target on our backs. We're not a veteran team. We're seen as vulnerable. A team is only as strong as their weakest link, and our weakest link, happens to be the weakest guy in the house.
Enzo: Unlike Kevin Owens, Cass and I ain't afraid of any team in the house. But there's no reason to run directly into a brick wall, when you can run around it, if you get what I'm saying. If push comes to shove, we're gonna kick Brock and Roman's ass in the jungle. But as long as we don't have to, we'll gladly take Tyler and Apollo.
End Confessional
That night, Natalya walked through the front door of the house.
"Hey look, it's Nattie!" Cameron said, as a bunch of the superstars were sitting in the kitchen and living room, eating burgers and hot dogs that Enzo had grilled.
"Hey." She said, sounding exhausted.
She turned down everyone's offers of food as she walked upstairs, and into the purple room. Charlotte was laying down, alone.
"Natalya! Feeling better!?"
"What happened in the challenge?"
"Enzo and Cass got last place, Kevin and Sami won."
"I mean for the girls."
"We got 2nd place. Becky and Sasha won."
"So you mean...to tell me...I almost died...and we didn't even win?"
"Oh my god, why is everyone ignoring the fact that I saved you, AND almost won the challenge!?"
"You're the reason I was drowning."
"I'm sorry. It wasn't on purpose." Charlotte said, looking down, feeling guilty.
"I know. It's fine. Just for future reference...if I'm drowning, save me first, then worry about the challenge."
The next day, the superstars met with The Miz in the living room.
"Hello Superstars! You have 20 minutes to decide who is going into the jungle tomorrow to face Enzo and Cass. Each team gets one vote, you can vote for anyone except yesterday's challenge winners, Kevin and Sami. I'll be back in 20 minutes."
The Miz left.
"Our vote is for Tyler and Apollo." Enzo said, immediately.
"We're gonna go with Brock and Roman." Kevin smiled.
Roman rolled his eyes.
"Welp, if that's the way it's going down. We gotta go with Tyler and Apollo." Roman shrugged.
"Brock and Roman." Tyler said.
"Our vote is for Tyler and Apollo. Sorry guys." Sasha said.
"We're gonna go with Brock and Roman as well." Dean said.
"Of course you are." Roman responded.
Confessional
Dean: Yeah, Roman's my friend. But I'm not Bayley. I mean, come on. I'm not gonna put friendship over common sense. Brock and Roman vs Enzo and Cass? Whichever one of them goes home, it's gonna benefit me. I'd rather have Apollo and Tyler stick around. They're easier to beat.
End Confessional
"Our vote is for Brock and Roman." Charlotte said, to the surprise of a couple of the superstars. Roman simply nodded.
"Brock and Roman." Ziggler shrugged.
"Well, it looks like the majority is going with Brock and Roman, that's who we're going with too." Cameron said.
"Brock and Roman." Brie said.
"Okay, then we're done here I guess." Emma shrugged, as Kevin left to go get The Miz.
They returned.
"So, we have a consensus?"
"Don't be naive, Miz. You know who's going in." Brock smiled.
"You and Roman?"
"Always."
"Well this oughta be a good one. Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns vs Enzo Amore and Colin Cassidy. See you guys tomorrow night." The Miz said, leaving.
Confessional
Brock: I liked Enzo and Cass. Lifting with Cass is a challenge, and Enzo's a grill master. But they're both leaving here tomorrow night.
Roman: I don't like being in the jungle. It's not a fun feeling. But here we are, so it's time to get to work.
End Confessional
The two teams shook hands as everyone left the living room.
Natalya, Charlotte, Brie, and Lana sat out by the pool.
"So how was it?" Lana asked.
Brie and Natalya both turned to Charlotte, who was reading a magazine. After a few seconds of Brie and Natalya not responding, she realized the question must've been directed at her.
"How was what?" Charlotte asked, confused.
"Roman."
Charlotte rolled her eyes and said nothing.
"I mean, it couldn't have been that good if she still voted him in." Brie shrugged.
Natalya and Lana laughed.
"What happened with Roman and I has nothing to do with the game, it's old news, and I'm actually getting tired of hearing about it."
"Wow, feisty." Brie said.
"So like, on a scale from one to ten?" Natalya asked.
"Last time I checked, you two were married to Daniel Bryan and Tyson Kidd, and you were engaged to Rusev."
"That doesn't mean we can't ask." Lana shrugged.
"I...I don't know...like an 8?"
"WOAH!" The girls said, in unison.
"What?"
"8? That's a pretty high number." Brie said.
"Ok, whatever. It's in the past. It was a one time thing."
"Not if it was an 8 out of 10, that means it's probably gonna happen again." Natalya said, nonchalantly.
"No it does not!"
"You're telling me, if Roman offered it right now, you'd say no?" Lana asked.
"I...most likely...maybe...possibly would say no."
The three girls laughed as Charlotte continued reading her magazine.
"So...size?" Lana asked.
"Alright Lana, that's too far." Natalya said, as Brie laughed.
"It's a question." Lana shrugged.
"Nothing special." Charlotte said, not removing her eyes from her magazine.
"That 8 out of 10 says otherwise." Sasha said, getting into the pool. She had been by the door, eavesdropping, the entire time.
Natalya, Lana and Brie laughed. Charlotte just continued to read her magazine.
The following day, the superstars got some much needed rest, as Enzo, Cass, Brock, and Roman trained for the jungle. That night, the challenge bus took the superstars there. In the field, there were two large crates full of mud. Slightly above each crate of mud were these metal structures that looked like two staircases pushed against each other to make a triangle. Except they only had one stair at the top of each side. In the crate on the left, one stair had "Roman" written on it and the other stair had "Brock" written on it. In the other crate, the stairs read "Enzo" and "Colin".
Confessional
Colin: This is the elimination from the first jungle. This is pure endurance, and team work. And as of late, Zo and I haven't shown much of the latter. Hopefully we can pull this win out.
Brock: Dissapointed it's not something more physical, but I'm ready regardless. This jungle was the very first thing Cass saw when he got here, and it's gonna be the very last thing he sees when he leaves.
Roman: This is almost unreal, ya know? Both of our teams have such big presences in the house. The fact that one of us is about to leave is almost crazy. Win or lose, the house will never be the same.
Enzo: The time for fun and games is over. It's time to get to business. Speaking of business, if anyone watching is in the business of international travel, I may be able to find you two, big, heavily tattooed clients very soon, how ya doin?

"Hello superstars, welcome back to the jungle! I need the team that got last place at the last challenge, Enzo and Cass!"
Enzo and Cass made their way down to the field.
"What happened, guys?"
"Premature evacuation. Happens to the best of us." Enzo shrugged, as the superstars all laughed.
"I also need the team that was voted into tonight's jungle, Brock and Roman."
Brock and Roman came down to the field.
"So, you guys got voted in, again? What happened?"
"The guys on that bridge are scared of us." Roman said.
"Wow, all of them?"
"Every single one of em."
"Keep dreaming." Apollo said, as the rest of the guys rolled their eyes in silence.
"Wow. Well, tonight, you guys will be playing, Hands On. You guys will stand on these platforms, hold hands, and use each other for support. Then, I will pull this lever, and the platforms will move apart. Everytime I pull the lever, they will move further and further apart. The first team to fall in the mud, goes home. The team that doesn't, gets to stay, and go for the big money."
The guys put on helmets and knee pads and stood on their platforms, facing each other, holding hands.
"Alright boys. Three...two..." Miz blew the air horn. He pulled the lever and the platforms moved a step down. Brock and Roman were pulling against each other, Enzo and Cass were pushing. He waited about 25 seconds and pulled the lever again. He repeated this process twice more, as both teams remained unfazed.
"I could do this all day!" Enzo called out.
"Then it looks like we're gonna be here a while." Lesnar laughed.
The Miz pulled the lever again, getting no reaction. The Miz pulled it once again, and noticed Enzo and Cass beginning to lose balance.
"Cass, ya good?" Enzo asked
"Yeah, you good?" Cass responded.
"Of course."
The Miz pulled the lever again. And again.
"Woah." Roman said, quietly.
"Calm down, Uce. Don't you fall on me now." Brock said.
"Nah, I'm not gonna-Oh shit!" Roman yelled, as The Miz pulled the lever again. The 4 men were almost horizontal at this point.
"Yo Cass, just push me up and I can't fall!" Enzo called out, to no response.
"Cass!?" Enzo asked, as Cass silently struggled to control his balance.
The Miz pulled the lever again.
"NO!" Roman screamed feeling himself beginning to fall.
"I got you, I got you." Brock said, as the two barely managed to stay balanced.
"Yo Cass, you good?" Enzo asked, as Cass kept wobbling, trying to remain balanced. Then, just as Miz was about pull the lever again, Cass fell, taking Enzo down with him. The Miz blew the air horn as the superstars stared in shock.
"LET'S GO!" Brock screamed as he and Roman fell into the mud.
"THAT'S WHAT WE DO! THAT'S WHAT WE DO!" Roman screamed, hugging Brock.
Confessional
Brock: Us, 2. House, 0.
Roman: I'm not going anywhere. Get used to it.
Kevin: D-Day 3, despite everything falling into place, has failed. And once again, I'm going to wake up, in this house, with the same problems. And those problems are named, Brock Lesnar, and Roman Reigns.

"That thing's like a goddamn torture chamber." Cass said, out of breath, looking back at the machine.
"Brock, Roman, congratulations. You pulled through, you may re-join your fellow superstars."
Brock and Roman returned to the bridge as the superstars clapped.
"Enzo, Cass. You fought hard, but it just wasn't your night. This ends your time here in Mexico."
The superstars clapped as Enzo and Cass walked into the distance, with crew members following them, carrying their suitcases.
Confessional
Colin: It's been a rollercoaster ride, it's been fun, but if feels like it ended so quickly. This jungle is the first thing I saw, and the last thing I saw. We put in a good effort, won a million dollars while we were here...but damn...I really thought we had a strong chance to go for the big money.
Enzo (solemnly): We lost. There's not much else to say...what do you want, another punchline? Alright. Ya see, it's like me and Big Cass just hit it out of the park, the music's playing, the crowd's cheering, we hit first base, boom. We hit second base, boom. We hit third base, boom. Now...we're heading home. How ya doin?

"There are no more surprises. You don't get to be surprised about eliminations anymore. Anyone of you can go home after any given jungle, remember that. Girls elimination day tomorrow, rest up. See you guys in the morning." The Miz said.
