Tonight is the night, NXT. Tonight is the last night before the finale next Tuesday, Alex better win. Aly and I are backstage with Miz and Riley waiting for the beginning of the show. They show a look back at last week from who got eliminated that night. First Percy Watson, then Husky Harris and also when Cody flipped out on everyone. We watch backstage the opening for the show and when they show Miz and Riley, Aly and I clap and cheer. We wait backstage near the curtain to wait to be called out by Jamie.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your WWE pros."

First Kofi comes out.

"Kofi Kingston!"

Then Zack Ryder comes out, he actually looks decent tonight.

"Zack Ryder!"

Third was Cody Rhodes.

"Dashing Cody Rhodes!"

Fourth was LayCool.

"The self-proclaimed women's champion LayCool!"

Fifth was MVP, I respect this guy so much.

"Montel Vontavious Porter, MVP!"

Then the music stops for a second.

"Ladies and gentlemen please welcome your three NXT rookie finalists."

Kaval comes out first.

"Kaval!"

LayCool obviously cheers for him. He goes down the ramp and gets into the ring. Next was

Alex, and I come out with him. I don't know about Mike and Aly, maybe they'll come out later hopefully.

"Alex Riley!"

I walk down the ramp with him, my arm in his. We get into the ring, with him helping me of course and wait for Michael McGillicutty to come out. Finally he does come out.

"Michael McGillicutty!"

He walks down the ramp as everyone else does and gets into the ring and Kofi claps for him. Now Matt Striker is in the ring and has the mic.

"Gentlemen, welcome and congratulations. Now twelve weeks ago we started with eight rookies all with a dream to become the WWE's next breakout star."

I stand there next to Alex and nod my head in approval of him. He has to win and be the breakout star, he's the whole package.

"And now with next week being our season finale, we're down to our final three."

Alex claps his hands together and smiles.

"I'd like to hear from each of you, how does it feel to make it to the finals of NXT. Michael McGillicutty come on."

Alex and I stand there and watch him talk.

"How does it feel? Take a look around, look at all these people around here. Whoo, man I love my job. This is the greatest job in the world. And these are truely the greatest days of my life. I'm in the finals of NXT. I'll honor my success to my pro Kofi Kingston! I love you Kofi. And the fact that I get to perform in the same ring as my father did, makes it all worth it. Thank you." He ends and hands the mic back to Matt Striker.

"Thank you Michael. Alex Riley, you're a finalist. How do you feel?"

Alex tried taking the mic away from Striker, and it seems like Striker has a bit of an attitude with Alex. Now Alex does have the mic and he answers the question.

"Well frankly Matt, I expected to be here."

I clap and everyone else in the arena boos him.

"Easy, easy. Let's take this oppurtunity to examine what this contest is really about. Okay, this contest is about finding the next breakout star!" he said dragging out 'star' looking at McGillicutty and Kaval.

"Which means in the WWE, total package!"

I nod and clap in approval.

"Now whether you people like it or not, I am that total package. I look the part, I walk the part, and I damn sure talk the part!"

Everyone boos him again.

"Now what we're going to have here in two weeks, is we're going to have my pro, ex-pro the Miz with a money in the bank contract he can cash in whenever he wants. And we're going to have NXT winner Alex Riley with a pay per view oppurtunity at a title shot whenever he wants. And Sheamus if you're watching, which I know you are. You better hope I don't get there first! Because if I do, you're dismissed!"

He hands the mic back to Striker, but then he comes to me and kisses me again like he did the first time on that rookie challenge. It was all in the moment, plus we kind of planned this too so, yeah. McGillicutty and Kaval just watch in amazement as in they didn't know what was going on.

"Kaval. You've made it to the finals of NXT. How does it feel?" Matt asks.

"I'll tell you right now, the feeling is almost indescribable. But I can't thank the WWE Universe for the support they have shown me the entire season."

Alex looked like he was bored out of his mind with the speech.

"But the bottom line is competeing at the highest level. I was ready to celebrate last week. But all of that was ruined, because of one pro. One pro who was upset that his rookie was eliminated from the competition. What he should've been, was upset at himself for not doing a good enough job to get his rookie into the finals! And that pro, happens to be Cody Rhodes."

"Kaval...Kaval. Kaval, I would mind your tongue. I wouldn't dare if I were you."

"Hold on one second, you want to talk about dare, you have the nerve. You want to dare to disrespect the WWE Universe, when you didn't even earn your way into the company. You got here because of your father!"

I walk up to Kaval and ask to use the mic real quick.

"And Rhodes, one thing. You want to dare disrespect me? You don't have the right to. Yeah I may not be wrestling right now, but when I do you're going to be in so much trouble!"

"Ha, I'll get to you in a second you no talent wannabe who just got in this business because you're friends with Miz. Ha ha, oh. Is that what you believe Kaval? I actually, I'm interested to know what else you believe in. I mean, besides booster seats and really bad promos, go ahead and tell me what you believe in."

"Hey you want to do all this talking, at least I'm one of the last of a dead breed. I earned my way into this company. I earned my way to perform on this stage, and I earned my way to perform for the WWE Universe! Now if you want to continue doing all that talking, it's easy to do it from fifty feet. Why don't you do it man to man, and get your butt right in here!"

"Kaval, I am just floored at your originality. I mean, insulting my heritage. I got here because of my father, wow that's just whoo...original. And Carly, it's true. You only got in this business because you're good friends with the Miz. You didn't earn your right to be in this business, you should go!"

Now I'm angry, I ask Kaval for the mic again.

"Oh yeah? Why don't you come into this ring like Kaval said and say that to my face!" I say handing the mic back to Kaval and backing up to stand by Alex.

"Why? I just said that to you from this spot." He adds back.

Alex and I are just angry as hell. I want to slap this guy for sure, he's really pissing me off.

"You know Kaval, I'm going to try to put this as politely as I can. You're...you're the gum that I scrape off the bottom of my boots. You...you Napolean are but a wee little rookie, and I...I am pro. So my answer, my answer is no. No, to both of you."

Then MVP comes into the conversation.

"Wait wait wait, hold on wait a minute. Time out Cody. I can't just stand by and let this go down. Carly steps up as a strong woman and you still disrespect her? And Kaval steps up like a man and issues you a straight up challenge, and you say no? Man what's wrong with you man?"

"I don't think this...I don't think this concerns you Montel. What does Kaval and Carly sleep at the foot of your bed? Isn't that the job for well Carly's friend the Miz and his rookie Alex Riley? Isn't that the job for their babysitters?" Cody asks.

"You know Kaval and Carly do not sleep at the foot of my bed, though they both are my friends. They are not their babysitters, but um...you know I'm just going to be real. This whole season of NXT I've been sitting up here and watching you act just like a little..."

Cody cuts off MVP.

"Whoa! Easy, easy. I'd watch your tongue MVP, I'd watch your tongue."

"Well I'll tell you what. Why don't you watch it for me, since Kaval and Carly aren't on your level, and you're not willing enough to accept the challenge from him. Why don't you accept the challenge from somebody who is? Cody Rhodes, verses MVP...tonight."

"You know what? Just to shut ALL of you up, I accept. I accept." Then he throws the clipboard on the ground, puts the mic on the chair and he walks away.

"Alright! It looks like we're going to get what we want, but coming up the rookies will compete in the wwe trivia challenge. All that and more coming up next on NXT!" Matt ends,

then we cut to commercial.
