That morning, Geiz went for a jogging at a nearby lake. Then, Geiz saw Rhea Ripley was there.

"Hi, Demi", said Geiz.

"Oh, hi Geiz. Just alone?" asked Rhea.

"Yes", said Geiz.

"So, congratulation on winning the NXT title at Survivor Series", said Rhea.

"Oh, thanks", said Geiz.

"So, why NXT?" asked Rhea.

"You know why", said Geiz.

"It's about Kaori, huh. Don't worry, I'll make sure that nobody in NXT Women's locker room spreading hatred about you", said Rhea.

"Thanks, Demi. I'm glad that I have you as my bestfriend", said Geiz.

"Don't mention it. You're the only boy that I acknowledge as my bestfriend after all", said Rhea.

"Thanks alot. Really need to hear something like that", said Geiz.

"So, ready to make your NXT return tonight?" asked Rhea.

"Yes. Quite nervous actually", said Geiz.

"Nervous? You will return to your home though", said Rhea. Geiz chuckled.

"I know. I wonder if NXT Universe can still accept me or not", said Geiz.

"Of course they don't. You're a pervert after all", said Kairi that appeared out of nowhere. Geiz glared at Kairi.

"You know what, Demi. I'll just see you later tonight then", said Geiz.

"Okay, bro. See you tonight", said Rhea. Then, they're bumping fist before walked away.

Later on;

Kairi is hangout with Iiconics and Dakota Kai.

"You know what, I'm so pissed off this morning", said Kairi.

"What's the matter?" asked Peyton.

"That pervert Geiz. He was talking to Demi this morning and when I came, he and Demi walked away and ignoring me", said Kairi.

"Really? That's rude", said Peyton.

"I know, right. I think he tried to make all NXT women rosters to turn their back on me", said Kairi.

"Like how you did to him in the main rosters?" asked Io that suddenly appears with Candice LeRae and Taynara Conti.

"I don't know what are you talking about, Io", said Kairi.

"I had enough of it, Kaori-san. You caused my brother to be a lonely boy right now. Not to mention, he got involved in the car crash is also because of you. You're lucky that he survive. If I lost him that time, I'll sue you for causing his death", said Io.

"How can you blame Kaori for that, Io? It's unfair", said Peyton.

"Well, do you think what she did to Geiz was fair?" asked Candice.

"That pervert deserved that", said Dakota.

"What if the pervert here is not Geiz but actually the pirate princess here?" asked Taynara.

"Mind your language, girl", said Billie Kay.

"If all of you here learn how to mind your manners, then I will mind my language", said Taynara.

"Well said. C'mon, girls. Let's go", said Io before she, Candice and Taynara walked away.

Later that night;

Geiz just arrived at Full Sail University for NXT taping. He then made his way into the locker room where he saw Keith Lee was there.

"Hey, champ. Welcome back home", said Keith.

"Thanks, Keith. It's good to be back here in NXT", said Geiz.

"Well, I never thought that I can see you back here after less than 1 year debuting on main roster", said Keith.

"Even I didn't expect it. Things happen", said Geiz.

"So, it's true then all ladies at RAW and Smackdown had turned their back against you", said Keith.

"Not all really. The 4 Horsewomen, Alexa Bliss, Nikki Cross, Hallie Parker, Paige and Asuka still have my back but that's all", said Geiz.

"Don't worry about it. I'm sure you made a right decision to come back here on NXT", said Keith.

"Hope so", said Geiz. Keith just patted on Geiz's shoulder.

Later on,

NXT rosters are celebrating their victory at Survivor Series last Sunday before suddenly;

"Wait, wait, wait. What did you guys think you're doing. You see, the only reason why NXT is victorious last Sunday at Survivor Series is because of the Undisputed Era", said Adam Cole.

"Hey, Cole. If the reason why NXT is victorious is because of you, where is your championship gold?" asked Ciampa followed by 'Uuuuuu' from the crowds. Then, suddenly;

Geiz then making his entrance with the NXT Championship belt on his shoulder followed with a loud cheers by the NXT Universe..

"Hey, Tommaso Ciampa. Is this enough to answer your question?" asked Geiz while lifted up his NXT Championship gold. Then, NXT Universe chanted 'Welcome back' to Geiz.

"Hey, Marufuji. If you think you can come out here and brag about how you rob me from my title, you better not to. Just you remember, I still have my rematch clause with me", said Cole.

"Ah, that's reminds me. I have one too for the title that I never lose", said Ciampa.

"Sorry, Ciampa. I'm the one who asked first. So, therefore, I'm the one that deserved a shot", said Cole.

"Why don't we decided it right here right now?" asked Ciampa.

"Well, I have a better idea. You see, I'm quite a nice guy today. So, why don't both of you face me in a TLC triple threat match in 2 weeks at TLC pay-per-view", said Geiz followed by the cheers from NXT Universe.

"Be careful of what you wish for, Marufuji. You might just signed your death wish", said Adam Cole.

"Really? Prove it, Cole", said Marufuji.

"You know what, Marufuji. You're on. At TLC, Goldie is coming home with daddy", said Ciampa. Geiz just smirked before walked to the back.

Later on;

Geiz is sitting at the catering area with Pete Dunne and Keith Lee. Then at the inside of the arena;

Io Shirai making her entrance.

"Your sister is really good playing that psychotic character", said Pete Dunne.

"Well, she won't be call a prodigy at Stardom if she's bad", said Geiz.

"But who she will be facing again?" asked Keith.

"I don't know. I heard it's a new signee", said Geiz.

"A new signee facing your sister? What an unlucky girl", said Pete.

"Nobody knows about that", said Geiz. Then, all of them are waiting who will be Io's opponent. Suddenly,

"NANI? Kore wa genjitsu-tekide wanai", said Geiz. (WHAT? This can't be real)

"I don't understand what you were saying but I know you're surprise, mate", said Pete.

"Of course I do. During my long days off, I met her almost everyday but she never tell me anything about this", said Geiz.

"So, you're dating while injured? Not a bad move, young man", said Keith.

"Not really dating though just came across her few times", said Geiz.

"Do you like her?" asked Pete.

"Well, you can say that but I think she's too good for me. I had a ruined reputation, remember?" asked Geiz in returned.

"Well, don't be so down, Geiz. Nobody knows who's fault is that. You both are drunk after all", said Keith.

"If you think you like her, just go and tell her. At least if she rejected you, you can just avoid her", said Pete.

"I'll think about it later", said Geiz.

Later on;

Geiz was just exiting the arena when he saw Mayu Iwatani.

"Mayu-san wa to WWE to issho ni sain suru to itta koto wa arimasen", said Geiz. (You never told me you will sign with WWE, Mayu-san)

"Odoroka seru no wa anata dake janai, Geizu-kun", said Mayu. (You're not the only one who can make a surprise, Geiz-kun). Geiz chuckled.

"Soka. Tsugini, NXT chanpion to shite, NXT e yōkoso", said Geiz. (I see. Then, as the NXT Champion, let me welcome you to NXT)

"Arigato, Geizu-kun. Issho ni yūshoku o tabetaidesu ka?" asked Mayu. (Thanks, Geiz. Want to have supper together?)

"Mochiron. Jā, ikimashou", said Geiz. (Of course. Let's go, then) Mayu just nodded. Then, they left Full Sail together.
