Chapter 17: Champions vs. Challengers

A few days after Alex secured his shot for MJF's TNT Championship after overcoming the Pinnacle in an exhausting gauntlet match, the gears shift to Intercontinental Champion Josh Stevens, United States Champion Geiz Marufuji and Blood Shepherd as they will team up against the Inner Circle's Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager and AEW Champion Chris Jericho in a huge six man tag team match for tonight's main event.

The Kingdom members look to have some momentum against AEW's top stable before the next pay-per-view.

While Josh was warming up, he heard his phone ring; the Fallen Warrior saw that his lovely wife Peyton wants to video call, making him smile. He pressed the accept button and smiled as he saw his Aussie beauty.

Peyton: hi darling!

Josh: hey babe, how you feeling?

Peyton: feeling well, it's been a few weeks and the bump is forming

Josh: who's keeping you company there?

Peyton: Charlotte, Sasha, Becky, Bayley, Liv, Asuka, Kairi and Carmella are here with me now, getting ready to watch the show and you guys to kick some butt

Josh: yup, the boys and I are gonna kick Inner Circle butt

Peyton: uh darling, a quick question?

Josh: yes, my love?

Peyton: I know Finn is injured, so Joe is your new partner?

Josh: yes, but he is not a member of Bliss Kingdom, just say an ally fighting a common enemy

Peyton: well even he's a member or not, you two would make a dominant tag team

Josh: oh yeah we will

Peyton: I want to see Joshy 2 Belts as soon as possible!

Josh: you will get it soon, babe. That's a promise

Peyton: alright babe, kick ass out there. I love you

Josh: I love you too

The two blew kisses at the screen before Josh hung up and continued to get ready.

A few minutes later, his partners Shepherd and Geiz came in.

Shepherd: hey man what's up?

Josh: doing well, I can't wait to kick Sammy's ass tonight

Geiz: and I can't wait to put Hager to sleep

Shepherd: just leave Chris to me, I want to show Le Champeon that I can be at his league

Josh: you should, you were trained by the GOAT

Shepherd: if I'm lucky and he doesn't run away

Geiz: the Inner Circle should be afraid too since I was trained by Minoru Suzuki

Josh: I'm surprised Alex faced him and live to tell the story

Shepherd: he's lucky, and speaking of lucky, that was a hell of a gauntlet match

Geiz: overcome everything to get to that weaseling coward

Josh: hope for our brother to bring AEW gold to Bliss Kingdom

The three Kingdom members proceeded to talk strategy for the match such as keep on grounding Jake since he is the big man of the Inner Circle, isolate Sammy from his team to keep the advantage for them and hopefully get to Jericho when they can.

(Meanwhile)

The Dark Circle were seething after the gauntlet match from last week. MJF and the Pinnacle were sitting in silence.

Chris: I don't how in the hell did Alex managed to do it!

Sammy: I call it luck, Chris. Pure luck

Evil Uno: don't forget who trained him

Chris: I know who trained him! His mentor kicked me in the head 11 years ago!

MJF: calm down Chris! Alex may have his title shot, but the match won't be your normal one on one

Tay: what's your plan?

MJF: leave it to me. I have a lawyer

Chris: that's smart Max, do it

MJF: don't worry, I'll take care of it while you, Sammy and Jake take care of Josh, Geiz and your old student Shepherd

Tay: Max, I want to add something to your plan with your lawyer

MJF: what is it?

Tay: a match

MJF: that can be arranged. What kind?

Tay whispered into his ear which made him smirk.

MJF: I can have that arranged with the lawyer

Tay: gracias

Chris: Sammy, Jake, let's go! We got this!

Jake: Chris, we forgot someone we have to watch out for

Chris: who?

Jake: Joe. Remember, he helped Josh

Chris: and will we see him tonight? I don't think so, Joe is just a one time backup

Sammy: and remember, we injured his tag team partner, Finn

Chris smirked and nodded.

Chris: we got this in the bag boys, and after we win, time for... A Little Bit of the Bubbly

Jake and Sammy nodded and clapped. Then the three Inner Circle members left to their individual locker room to warm up for the match.

(An hour later)

Raw has started and the opening segment was confirmed by Tony Khan and the rest of creative, which is the official contract signing between MJF and Alex.

The TNT Champion and his lawyer got the contract ready and double checked to see if everything is there. MJF made his entrance with his lawyer and Tay side by side while he smirked with arrogance.

MJF, Tay and the lawyer got in the ring and set the contract on the table.

MJF: alright, cut my music. On the table is the official TNT Championship match contract. According to my lawyer, this is a legal binding contract and everything is up to par, now all we need to do is put pen on paper, so Alex, can you please come out here so we can get started?

Alex's theme played and out came the number one contender with his wife Alexa side by side with him. The Pharaoh and Goddess got in the ring and sat across from MJF and Tay.

MJF: Alex, I want to say congratulations on one hell of a gauntlet match. You somehow managed to survive-

Alexa: somehow because you tried to use every trick up your sleeve to rob me of my title hopes. Spears with the sneaky chair shots, FTR in a handicap match and Wardlow with the ambush

MJF: and you overcame those bumps!

Alex: bumps you set up

MJF: alright alright, enough of that. My lawyer has put together this contract for our title match, I have already signed it, so your John Hancock is all what it's needed to be official

Alex: I'm surprised you don't sound too worried about losing your title

MJF: take your time on looking it over

Alex: I know how contracts work, and the important thing to do is to read it

The Pharaoh read over the contract and saw that the match won't be the usual normal one on one match, but a steel cage match.

Alex: a steel cage match? That is exactly what I wanted, so you can't weasel your slippery ass out of this situation

The Pharaoh smirked and signed the contract. Tay watched and smirked as well.

MJF: Alex, did you read the fine print?

Alex: of course, I'm not an idiot; the fine print says that we will have a mixed tag team match this week; you and Tay versus me and Alexa

Alexa smirked and stepped up to Tay.

Alex: and also, thanks for being so cool of what I added on page 17 that was clutch

MJF: what? There was only 16 pages. Mark, what's on page 17-

The lawyer skimmed through the contract and put his hands over his face.

Alex: you didn't read it? You should never sign something before you read it; aren't you a lawyer? Dude, I graduated college with a Bachelor's degree in business management

The lawyer knew he was screwed.

Alex: next week, we're gonna have a tune up match. It's gonna me versus you!

The Pharaoh said as he softly slapped the lawyer's face while MJF and Tay were flabbergasted.

Alex: it was pleasure doing business with you, so if I were you, I better warm up.

Then he turned to Alexa.

Alexa: babe, you know I should've been a lawyer

Alexa laughed and kissed his cheek as the Bliss Kingdom co-founders and New Evolution members left the ring. 

Tay and MJF attempted to hype up the lawyer while he looked over page 17.

(An hour and a half later)

It was time for the six man tag team match main event as three Bliss Kingdom members takes on three Inner Circle members.

Josh, Geiz and Shepherd made their individual entrances as the three Kingdom brothers share a common goal to get a step ahead of the Inner Circle.

Then Le Champeon made his entrance with the MMA fighter and the Spanish God by his side as the crowd sang along Judas, Jericho's entrance theme.

As the Inner Circle went in the ring, Chris raised his AEW title to taunt his former protege, the Duke of the Balkans. Josh and Geiz are able to hold back Shepherd to avoid a brawl before the bell rang.

(Josh, Geiz and Shepherd vs. Jericho, Guevara and Hager)

The two to start off were Geiz and Guevara. The Sniper of the East and the Spanish God locked up before Sammy got the United States Champion in a side headlock. Applying what he learned from Minoru Suzuki, Geiz easily got out of the lock and took down Sammy with a monstrous clothesline while he stuck out his tongue and laughed while Chris and Jake looked on in a bit of fear.

Sammy got back up and landed some chops on Geiz, but the impact did not register as the Sniper taunted the Spanish God and tell him to hit harder.

Sammy tried to hit his hardest, but the pain did not register as Geiz fired back with a big headbutt. Geiz tried to lock in the Coffin sleeper hold, but Guevara got out of it and tag in Hager.

Geiz smirked and nodded as his main focus is on the MMA fighter. The two butted heads as they yelled at each other before trading punches and chops.

(Minutes later)

Jericho was the legal man for the Inner Circle as he grounded Josh with a headlock to the canvas. However, Josh powered out and separated himself from Jericho as he grounded the Demo God with a back suplex.

Shepherd was pumped up and begged for Josh to tag in. The Fallen Warrior crawled to his corner and tagged in the Duke. 

Blood Shepherd finally got his hands on his former mentor as he landed quick punches to the Inner Circle leader. Shepherd took out Guevara and Hager as the Duke is pumped up.

He squashed Jericho with a running splash to the corner before taking him down with a clothesline before going for an early pin as Jericho kicked out. 

(Minutes later)

Jericho managed to escape and tagged in Guevara. As the Spanish God attempt to attack, Shepherd countered with a back body drop and then tags in Josh.

Josh took down Sammy with a double leg takedown before connecting with mounted punches. The Fallen Warrior connected with a superkick as all his rage is releasing.

(End of match)

As Josh was about to end Sammy, Anna's theme played and out came the Queen Slayer to cause a distraction. Anna came down to ringside and flirtatiously waved at the Fallen Warrior.

Sammy attempted to use the distraction take advantage, but Josh managed to kick out and ground Sammy with a DDT. 

Anna got on the apron to cause a distraction, but she was pulled down by the SmackDown Women's Champion Billie Kay. The Femme Fatale neutralized Anna by brawling landing punches on the Queen Slayer.

Back in the ring, Sammy tagged in Chris, and was measuring Josh for the Judas Effect. As Josh turned around, the Fallen Warrior ducked and hits the 25th Hour on Le Champeon.

Josh saw the Shepherd wants in; the Fallen Warrior happily sufficed and tagged in his friend.

Shepherd got in and measured Chris for the Giga Savate Strike. Sammy attempted to interfere, but the Spanish God was caught by Josh hitting the 25th Hour. Hager tried to help as well, but Geiz came in and hits the Death Wish knee strike on the MMA fighter.

Jericho got back on his feet and turned around to be met by Shepherd's Giga Savate Strike. The Duke went for the pin and it was over as Shepherd finally got a step ahead of the AEW World Champion.

Josh, Geiz and Shepherd celebrated their victory while Sammy and Jake helped Chris to his feet.

The show ended with Josh and Geiz raising their titles while Shepherd taunted Jericho.
