That day, Geiz woke up early as he had promised Mayu to help her to train. While getting himself ready, he got a phone call from Tommy.

Geiz: Hello, kouhai. How you're doing?

Tommy: I'm good, senpai. I saw the match last week. I never thought I'll be seeing The Silent Wolf back in NXT. You and Fergal had try a new trend there.

Geiz: Well, can you blame us though? Raw and Smackdown's booking suck. I won't be surprised if both winners in Royal Rumble choose to challenge the NXT Champions so that they can escape from the 2 so-called main rosters. By the way, how you're doing now?

Tommy: Well, good. I caught many fishes too. When will you come here?

Geiz: Well, maybe after TakeOver Portland. Can't promise though.

Tommy: Fair enough. Tell me if you're here and let's hope that time I'm not the ocean.

Geiz: Okay, then. I need to go now. Mayu might be already waiting for me.

Tommy: Hoho, you have a date huh, senpai?

Geiz: What, no! I just going to help her with training though.

Tommy: Okay, then. I'll call you again sometimes.

Geiz: Okay. Goodbye, kouhai.

Tommy: Goodbye, senpai.

Then, they hung up.

Later on;

Geiz and Mayu just done with the training.

"Anata wa sudeni subarashī, Mayu-san. Naze anata wa mada ore o kunren suru hitsuyō ga atta nodesu ka?" asked Geiz. (You already great, Mayu-san. Why did you still need me to train?)

"Sate, atashi wa anata to issho ni jikan o sugosu tame dake ni imasu. Issho ni jikan o sugoshite hisashiburi", replied Mayu. (Well, I just want to spend some time with you. It's been a while since we're spend time together)

"Sore wa watashi ni denwa o shite watashi ni tazuneru koto ga dekiru koto o shitte imasu yo ne?" asked Geiz. (You know that can just give me a call and ask me out, right?)

"Ē to, anata wa Kaori senpai to dēto suru kamo shiremasen", replied Mayu. (Well, I'm afraid that you might have a date with Kaori-senpai)

"Īe, ore ga saigo ni kanojo to dekaketa no wa hisashiburidesu", said Geiz. (No. It had been a while since the last time I ever go out with her though)

"Anata wa kanojo to seishiki ni kankei ga arimasu ka?" asked Mayu. (Are you officially in relationship with her?)

"Īe, chigaimasu.  Do shitta no?" asked Geiz in returned. (No, I'm not. What's the matter?)

"Nanimonai", replied Mayu. (Nothing)

"Mada chansu ga aru", said inner Mayu. (I still have a chance then) Then, both of them returned home.

Later that night;

Geiz arrived at Full Sail for NXT Live tapping. As he arrived there, he was summoned to Triple H's office.

"You're asking for me, boss?" asked Geiz.

"Ah, Geiz. Please come in and have a seat, young man", said Triple H. Geiz then enters the office and takes a seat.

"Am I in trouble, sir?" asked Geiz. Triple H chuckled.

"No, you're not. I have a news to tell you", said Triple H.

"What is it, boss?" asked Geiz.

"Your match against Rhys for NXT title will not be held at Worlds Collide. Instead it will be held as the last match at the Royal Rumble's pre-show", said Triple H.

"Pre-show? But why? Is my last title defence not good enough?" asked Geiz.

"Oh, no. The board of directors want the spectators to come early so that everybody can be in the arena when the show starts. So, they thought that having your match as the final pre-show match is good for business", said Triple H.

"I see", replied Geiz.

"Oh and for tonight. You won't have match. You will only have a contract signing. The stipulation of your match will be announced there too", said Triple H.

"Okay, boss", replied Geiz.

"Okay, Geiz. Now, you may leave", said Triple H. Geiz just nodded before left the office and makes his way to the catering area where he saw Keith Lee is sitting with Matt Riddle.

"Hey, guys", said Geiz before took a seat.

"Hey, Geiz. No match tonight?" asked Riddle.

"No. Just contract signing", replied Geiz.

"You know how good The Silent Wolf is, right?" asked Keith.

"Yes. I watched some of his matches in UK. He's damn good. If Meltzer won't be biased, we'll get 10 stars match rating for sure", said Geiz. Keith and Riddle chuckled.

"You sure didn't like him, aren't you", said Riddle.

"How can I? How come all Young Bucks match received high rating while they're just flipping around more than they wrestled? And why Okada gets 5-stars and above rating only when he faced Omega when all his other matches are good", said Geiz.

"Well, I can see your point there. So, any match tonight?" asked Keith.

"No. Just a contract signing", replied Geiz.

"I see", replied Riddle. Meanwhile, they're watching the match between Bianca Belair and Mayu Iwatani. Geiz so focused on that match that he didn't realised that Keith Lee and Matt Riddle already left while Io and Candice LeRae took their seats.

"I think your litlle brother here really in love", said Candice.

"I think so. But, I think he just didn't know who must he chose", said Io.

"Really? Why?" asked Candice.

"Well, he just didn't know which to choose. Both girls are kawaii", said Io.

"Really, Geiz?" asked Candice. But Geiz didn't answered it. Io then poked Geiz's head. Only then, Geiz came back to the real world.

"Futari tomo koko ni kita no wa itsudesu ka? Kīsu to matto wa doko?" asked Geiz. (When did you both even get here? Where's Keith and Matt?)

"Baka ototo", said Io.

"So, Geiz. Is Mayu the one?" asked Candice.

"Well, I think I will decide it after WrestleMania", replied Geiz.

"Always making a late move will make you suffer, mate", said Toni that just appeared with Kay Lee.

"Well, it can't be help though. It might break someone's heart though", replied Geiz.

"Well, it can't be help but that to happen though. It just that you need to prevent to hurt the wrong person", said Kay Lee.

"You make a fair point there, Kay", replied Geiz.

"Of course I am", replied Kay Lee. The rest just chuckled.

Later on;

William Regal is inside the ring with a contract in his hand.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen. Allowed me to introduce to you the challenger for NXT Championship this Sunday at Royal Rumble. The Silent Wolf; Rhys White!!!" said Regal.

The Silent Wolf then making his way to the ring while giving high five to the NXT Universe. Once he enters the ring, he then took place at Regal's left.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen. Your NXT Champion. The Sniper of The East; Geiz Marufuji!!!" said Regal.

Geiz then making his entrance with the NXT title on his left shoulder.

"Now, gentlemen. Let's get down to business and signed this contract. But before that, did any of you have anything to say?" asked Regal. Geiz then picked a microphone.

"I have. Since he is The Silent Wolf. I don't think he will ever talked after all. You see, White. I know you very well compared to anyone else here. They might know you from what happened in your personal life before but not me. I know your ability very well. You gave my good friend that one of the best technical wrestler in Europe today, Zack Sabre Jr. a hard time to beat your ass down at Progress. Not to mention, you kicked Jimmy Havoc's ass so bad too which of course not as bad as what his brother gave to him. Hey, kouhai. How you're doing? But, that is outside the WWE. Here in WWE, especially NXT, you are just a nobody and at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, The Sniper of The East would shoot you down and I'm telling this to you, once you signed this contract, you just signed the Death Wish", said Geiz while signing the contract and returned it to Regal.

"You see, Marufuji. I do respect you. You are one of the best Japanese superstars that ever step foot here in WWE but what you did after I won my number one contendership match had pissed me off. And I'm telling you this, at Royal Rumble, I'll beat up your sorry ass just like I beat up Seth Rollins at Monday Night Raw. I'll do the same to you", replied Rhys before signing the contract. After he returned the contract back to Regal, suddenly, Geiz hits Rhys with a superkick. But, Rhys managed to catch it before tried to hit Geiz with a stunner but Geiz manage to counter it and hits Rhys with a snapmare dragon suplex. Then, Geiz walked at a nearby corner and when Rhys already stands of his knees, Geiz dashed towards him and hits a Death Wish to Rhys. Geiz then picked up his title and grabbed a microphone.

"See you this Sunday, White", said Geiz before dropped the microphone and left the ring. The NXT Universe booing him loudly.

Meanwhile at the catering area;

"He really enjoyed being a heel, right?" asked Tegan.

"Yes. He making the crowds really hates his character", said Io.

"Well, at least he's good in real life though", said Mayu.

"That's why you have a big crush on him, right?" asked Candice. Mayu blushed.

"Well, I guess so", replied Mayu.

"You're really wanted to be a Shirais' sister in-law, huh", said Io.

"Or maybe you just want to be a Marufuji", said Tegan.

"Girls, stop it. I like him as he is, not about who his family is", replied Mayu.

"What a nice girl. Okay, then. Oneechan approved it", said Io. The rest just chuckled.
