A week after Money in the Bank*

Tommy was no where to be seen in the arena the next night for Monday Night RAW, the guys couldn't even text him wondering where he was. No one knows he was sent home by the medical team in the back after the pay per view from a slight injury to his right knee.

They informed him that he could return to tour in a couple days if the pain goes away.

Bayley was the only one that knew of him going back to Texas for the week. She kept it secret with the group as they were having meetings without him all day at the arena. The storyline was going where Tommy planned and they were now getting the next steps ready.

Back with Tommy*

Being back home in Texas made him feel bad since it was a little tweak of his knee that sent him home. Luckily it wasn't anything serious and only needed icing and supervision.

While he sat out this show, he watched his squad do the dirty work and try to clean up from what happened the night before.

The WWE universe was now convinced that Firing Squad was imploding on itself after Anthony and Tommy's rivalry was heating up.

He was the Money in the Bank briefcase holder and plans to cash it on his best friend at some point this year, he needs to figure out when would the perfect time be.

RAW was the only thing on his TV as it showed Bayley try and calm people down a bit as people were freaking out. They all made it seem that Tommy wasn't with them and planning something. The show ended with Anthony addressing the situation after Becky's match.

Skip ahead to Friday*

Today was Tommy's return to the tour in Orlando. RAW was now hitting the Florida sweep on their live shows while Smackdown followed.

Friday night*

People were filing into the parking lot of the Amway Center, home to the Orlando Magic. But not tonight as WWE hosts their final show of the east coast tour.

Tommy arrived just as they opened the doors to the fans. His plane got in late and that made him late to the rehearsals.

When he grabbed his bag, locked the rental car and walked inside; one of WWE's top men Jon Laurinaitis caught his eye on him and approached the leader.

John: walks up* Tom, where have you been? This starts in an hour.

Tommy: Yea, sorry about that. My plane was directed away from a storm.

John: sighs* Alright. Well you're in a quick match with Anthony since the medical team doesn't want you in a match longer than five minutes.

Tommy: Five minutes? That's it?

John: Do you want to blow out your knee?

Tommy: No, but I'm fine. I'll be back to normal by next week.

John then walked off without saying anything as he was clearly annoyed with Tommy. There are multiple backstage heads and writers that do not like Tommy.

Since he was given full control of the storyline in his group, that left them out for writing with eight superstars.

No one would help Tommy with the storylines and he was alone. Which was fine since he was hired from his performance in Japan and the UK, all of those matches were ran by him.

An hour later*

The first match was kicking off as the Firing Squad theme song and Anthony's name coming across the titantron. People stood and cheered as the Universal Champion was starting the show with a unknown opponent.

He walked down the ramp and slid into the ring while celebrating a bit, then his theme song kept going as he was now waiting.

Song still going until the titantron changed from his to another one, "Tommy Majors" ran across.

More of a pop came back from the fans as Tommy strutted out from the back and had his golden case in hands.

A cocky smirk was painted on his face as he walked down the ramp and eventually roll into the ring.

He was in his wrestling attire with a bigger knee pad on his right leg. Anthony didn't notice as the music died down and the referee called the match.

Match starts*

Tommy rolled out and grabbed a sign from the front row that read "Save us Firing Squad"

He ripped it in half right in front of the crowd which then had the rumors of the group falling apart.

Tommy: No one can save you now-

Anthony rolled out unnoticed, ran around and clotheslined Tommy right in front of the fan.

He then grabbed Tommy and threw him back into the ring as there were multiple locks being played.

Since the match would be short and limited, there wasn't much they could do.

End of the match*

Anthony had the upper hand the whole time until Tommy escaped his finishing superkick and buckled the champs knees.

He dropped and laid on the ground as everyone then watched Tommy climb to the top rope. Just before he could go for a "Frog Splash", Anthony sprung up and shoved him off the top.

Tommy hit the ground below and the crowd stood to see if he was alright, the referee quickly slid out and checked on him.

In the mean time that was happening, the Universal Champion rolled out and slowly walked around to where Tommy laid.

The referee got back in the ring and started to count as he got Tommy up a bit, but that then would be a mistake.

Tommy leaped up and hit him with the briefcase that could end his long title reign.

A dent was now shown on the backside as Anthony dropped. The referee then called for the match and the crowd booed as he stood over his friend while holding his contract and the Universal Championship.

His night ended by walking to the back and getting cleaned up as the show went on.

Midway through the show*

Everyone always stayed after their matches to watch the product and support the talent.

Tommy was sitting in gorilla as they started the mens tag match. While that was going on, Tommy sat in front of two monitors. One was showing the show outside the curtain, the other was tonights Smackdown show north of them.

He has a pair of headphones on as Alexa Bliss walked out for her monthly talk show.

Theme stops*

Alexa: Well, here we are again. Welcome to A Moment of Bliss! Tonight should be good since I have, announcing right now my opponent in a couple weeks; She is your Smackdown Women's Champion, Bayley!

The cameras caught Bayley walk out dressed nicely, then she jumped in front of her and started to show off her blue title.

She showed off for a bit before watching Lexi sit down and joined her, keeping the microphone in her lap.

Alexa: So, welcome to the show Bayley.

Bayley: ...

Alexa: I- uh. Alright, your match against Charlotte at Money in the Bank showed the great teamwork between you and Becky Lynch. Is everyone in Firing Squad like that?

Bayley: shrugs*

Alexa: Oh- uh, ok? So is the rivalry between you and the Queen finished?

Bayley: *still silent*

At this point Bayley could see that Lexi was getting annoyed with her.

Alexa: You know you're holding a microphone in your lap?

Bayley: off mic* I know.

Alexa: Why don't you use it?

Bayley then stood up which spooked Lexi for a second, now she had her microphone in hand along with the championship.

Bayley: Why should I talk to you? Why am I out here?

Alexa: We're going to promote our match-

She quickly cut her off there to prove a point.

Bayley: Promote our match!? You didn't even do anything to have the opportunity to be in that ring with me.

Alexa: I talked with Tommy about it, he gave me the green light.

Bayley huh. *chuckles* Did he now?

Alexa: Yea, now sit down and relax.

Bayley then backed up slowly and sat back down on the chair as they then dug more into the leader.

Alexa: Let's talk about Tommy for a second. What is your thoughts of his leadership?

Bayley: Leadership? I wouldn't even call him the leader. Look, we're like a huge family.

Alexa: Then why is the family falling apart?

Bayley: Were- not. We just have some issues to take care of.

They talked for a couple more minutes before Lexi started to dig into Bayley, see how she reacted to this.

Alexa: How do you feel about Tommy?

Bayley: You already asked that question.

Alexa: I know, but I got the teammate answer. How does "Bayley" feel about him?

She still had the microphone at her face before putting it down, looking the other way to hide the smile.

Lexi was fighting hard to not crack a smile since she really got her.

But Bayley kept her composure and came back.

Bayley: He's a great guy, glad to call him a friend.

She said that smiling into the camera, then looking at Lexi and winking at her which no one else caught; Besides Tommy.

He smiled back at the monitor before putting back the headphones and walking out.

The rest of the group were finished for the night so he headed back to the hotel.

In his room*

Tommy was laying in his room scrolling through his social media as fans were tagging him in photos and videos they took of tonights show. He really wanted to break character and respond but he's social media silent to build heat.

Until he was interrupted by a facetime call coming in.

Accept*

Tommy: Hey!

Bayley: Hey you. How are you? How's the knee?

Tommy: I'm good. Knee's good, had a quick five minute match.

Bayley: Tommy! The trainers said a week.

Tommy: It's been a week.

Bayley: It's been four days.

Tommy: Close enough. Now, how are you? I watched your segment tonight, you did great!

Bayley: Aw, thank you. I'm good, a bit sore from not being home for a week. But overall alright.

They talked for a solid twenty minutes about what each other have done the past week.

He then quickly stopped that subject and broke her bubble.

Tommy: We should plan another date.

Bayley: So soon? That'll be our fourth!

Tommy: I don't know, I like hanging out with you.

Bayley: Tom, you're sweet. I like being around you more than alone right now.

Tommy: Sounds like someone misses me?

Bayley: Well. Atleast I'm not the one sounding desperate and asking me out on another date.

Tommy: Touché.

He got a quick laugh out of her as they were now winding down and saying their goodbyes.

Bayley: Alright. I think I'm going to go to bed. Hey! I'll see you in Orlando tomorrow, right?

Tommy: For?

Bayley: We're seeing Paramore! Remember?

Tommy: Oh rolls his eyes* that's right.

Bayley: You said you'd go.

Tommy: I did, but I didn't say I'll enjoy it.

Bayley: Tom..

She put out a bumbed, pouty face on for him which got him a couple minutes later.

Tommy: Alright. I did agree.

Bayley: Yay! You'll love it, trust me.

Tommy: We'll see about that. Alright, let me know when you're driving in and I'll pick you up wherever you are.

Bayley: Same hotel you're in.

Tommy: Perfect. I'll see you tomorrow then.

Bayley: Yep! Goodnight Tom.

She puckered her lips and waved him off.

Tommy: Night Pam.

They then hung up and he quickly fell asleep.

Tomorrow was a planned concert for a week and he had no idea how he would feel going in. He's not apart of her genre, he likes his metal and rap.

But this was all for Bayley, and he was determined to make sure she stays happy.

The next day*

Tommy was up bright and early so he can quickly get his normal routine out of the way before his girl comes to town.

He was in the hotel gym at eight o'clock where there were a couple of his peers in there. But he was focused on getting his cardio in for the day to keep the streak going.

Ever since he signed with New Japan Pro Wrestling years ago he's had this lengthy two mile run a day streak. Weather, Illness and even Death has tried to come in and break it, he's continued it.

So Tommy was now finishing it as he heard his headphones turn down the music for a text incoming. That caught his attention since he knew who it was.

Unlocks his phone*

Bayley❤: Just pulled into the parking lot.

It didn't take him long to respond to her and finish up in the gym.

Tommy: Awesome, let me shower and I'll be over.

His phone went off almost immediately as she responded.

Bayley❤: I can't wait to see you ❤

Heart pounding a little faster than normal got him excited. Tommy quickly made it up to his room and was in the shower as soon as he walked in.

It didn't take him long to clean up and change into street clothes.

Almost as he walked out of his room, Bayley texted him her room number. She was just down the hall, so he almost ran there.

The door was propped open, and he could hear music coming through. She already set up a wireless speaker while doing her thing.

He opened the door open a bit to see his girlfriend standing there unpacking her bags and singing along to the music, atleast until he opened the door.

Bayley caught him in her sights and stopped everything.

She dropped her clothes back in ther bag, rushed over to Tommy and wrapped her arms around him. He hugged her back as she was very happy to see him.

It's been almost a week since they saw each other at the pay per view.

Bayley: I missed you.

Tommy: I'm glad to see your face.

He smiled at her as she got closer and pressed her lips against his, he returned the favor and they unlocked.

Tommy: So, three bags.

Bayley: Non stop flying. I have a quarter of my closet in these bags.

Tommy: Where's your gear bag?

He was looking around and didn't see it in her room.

Bayley: What!? Wait.

She was now looking around and started to panic a little, and when she didn't see it in her room it was time to panic.

He watched her grab her key card, rental car keys and run out of the room. Tommy was worried too so he followed her out of her room, down to the lobby and out into the parking lot.

After watching her sprint out to her car, he luckily overheard her sigh and calmed down.

Just before he could reach her rental car he watched her hold the bag high in the air and started to walk back.

Tommy: Close one, huh?

Bayley: Oh hush you. Didnt Alex tell me you left your gear at home during a show in Japan?

Tommy: Yea, so what. I wrestled in joggers and a tank top. That's where "Bum Tommy" gimmick came from.

She started to laugh as they walked back to the elevator and back up to her room.

Later on that night*

Tommy was back in his room getting changed for tonights concert. Since he has no idea what he's gotten himself into and is not prepared, so he slipped on a black top and wore his leather jacket over.

He was now ready and locked up his room after grabbing his phone, wallet and keys then walked down to his girlfriends room.

At the door*

Her door was closed and he was ready to knock, but Bayley unlocked it and opened the door to jump at him standing there.

Bayley: oh! Hey.

Tommy: Jeez, you're jumpy.

Bayley: My excitement is pouring out!

Tommy: Well, let's help you release that energy. Shall we?

He held his hand out for her to grab, which she did and they walked out of the hotel and into his rental.

Tommy jumped into the drivers seat and knew where they were going since he's been there for a couple concerts that he would score tickets to when NJPW was in Florida.

In the passenger seat next to him was Bayley, almost ready to jump out of her seat and singing a song that she was playing through the speakers.

Tommy: turns down the volume* So I see you pregame for concerts.

Bayley: Wait, you don't? How will you know the songs?

Tommy: Trust me, when it comes to concerts I make sure to pregame the week before.

Bayley: Gosh, I'm dating a weirdo.

Tommy: ha* Yea, you are.

She laughed with him and they then got onto the main road and were twenty minutes out.

40 minutes later*

Tommy parked the car outside of the huge venue, fans lined to the street outside and were cheering.

Bayley walked around and grabbed his hand, he looked over and saw she had a huge grin from ear to ear.

Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts was light up blue and yellow, then a sign outside counting down to when the doors open.

With all the people around the front, Tommy got a little nervous since that's a bigger crowd to stand in.

That was until Bayley pulled something out of her jacket.

Bayley: Show's Tommy two passes*

Tommy: Awe, sweet.

Bayley: I think we go around to the back.

Tommy: Let's go.

They walked hand and hand across the road and made their way down the sidewalk and entered through the back door.

A security guard and team manager with Paramore were with them to greet the groups and show them around.

With a a little tour also being included as people were walking to the VIP area of the stage, Tommy looked over at his girl to see she was so excited.

He kissed the side of her head and then grabbed her hand as they were lead into the room.

Almost sidestage*

Everyone walked in and saw the whole venue in front of them, the team let people take pictures before going back to the room.

The room had a table of beverages for everyone, then more tables for when the bands come through to sign autographs.

While people were mingling and telling each other their favorite songs and albums, Tommy went and grabbed a beer.

Tommy: Hey, I'm going to grab a drink. Do you want anything?

Bayley: I'm ok, thanks.

Tommy: Alright, don't move. There's alot of people in here so I want to be able to find you.

Bayley: laughs* Go, I'll be right here.

Tommy turned around and grabbed a cup of beer, as soon as he got it he overheard Bayley.

Bayley: Is that Steffanie Newell?

That made him turn around and he saw his girlfriends beanie start to move, so he quickly paid the server and walked through the people to where they stood.

She had moved and was now hugging another women wearing a jacket covered in Paramore pins.

Tegan: What are you doing here? You like Paramore too?

Bayley: Uh Duh. Chuckles* How about you?

Tegan: I love Paramore!

Tommy then walked up behind her and took a quick sip before looking at both women.

Bayley: Oh Steffanie. This is my boyfriend Tommy.

Tegan: Hey! Pleased to meet you.

Tommy: You too.

He held his hand out for her to shake it but Tegan went in for the hug. He returned it and Bayley smiled as this was great. She kissed his cheek and chuckled a little.

Bayley: I had to drag him out here. He hates this type of music.

Tommy: Sighs* Ok, I don't "hate" it Pam. It's just not my cup of tea.

He laughed as she fired back at him a bit.

Bayley: His cup of tea is metal and rap. Weirdo.

She winked at him as he rolled his eyes, but Bayley made it up by kissing his cheek.

Tegan: Oh! I gotta introduce you to someone.

She went out of the room for a second as Tommy took another sip of his drink.

Bayley: You know who that is, right?

Tommy: I think?

Bayley: She's in NXT. I was there around the time of her injury and helped coach her a little.

Tommy: And now you go and embarrass me a bit. Huh?

Bayley: playfully hits his arm* You smiled. Don't be mad.

Tommy: I can't be mad at you.

They smiled at each other as Tegan walked back into the room with someone.

Tegan: Pam, Tommy, this is Julian. He's the vocalist for Mercy Rule, the band that's gonna open for Paramore tonight. Julian, this is Pamela and Tommy. They're wrestler's for the WWE.

Julian: Wow, how cool is that?

He hugged Bayley, then dabbed up Tommy with a bro-hug.

Tommy: Hey, not as cool as being a vocalist.

They all then stood there and looked at each other as introductions were a success

Tommy: Opening for Paramore. How does that feel, dude?

Julian: Man, awesome of course! But you know something? Most of the time, I'm actually scared to go up on stage. I would always have these thoughts of me messing up lyrics, tripping over a cable or my voice cracking.

Tommy: Hey, don't even trip man *laughs* Sometimes, I get a little nervous going to the ring. The things that kind of get me are injuries and botched.

Bayley: I think Steffanie showed us a few songs of yours. You guys rock.

Julian: Thanks. I appreciate it.

Tommy: Yea, I would know. Pam would blast it on car rides.

He laughed a little as Bayley blussed a little, but the frontman came back with one.

Julian: Don't worry. I'll have you become a fan by the end of the night.

Tommy: takes another sip* We'll see about that man.

Julian: Oh, sorry to bother you. My brother is a huge wrestling fan and he would get mad at me that I met you guys. Wanna make him mad by taking a photo with me?

He got a quick laugh out if Tommy with a response.

Tommy: Let's make him furious.

Julian gave Tegan his phone as Tommy and Bayley posed with him.

Snap* Snap*

The four continued to talk and tell some stories before a loud roar of cheers came from the fans as Paramore walked in.

Tegan and Bayley were shaking with joy as Tommy and Julian looked at each other and chuckled.

Tommy then watched his girl walk with Tegan to the line, grabbed a few pictures with the band and walked back over.

An hour later*

The VIP party had ended and Tommy was hanging with Bayley side stage, they were watching the crew work for the countdown.

Tegan then walked back over and stood with them as they watched Julian and the band walk out onto stage.

Bayley was excited that the show was finally starting, she still had Tommy close as he kept a hand on her.

Julian: What's up, Orlandooo!? We are Mercy Rule! Let's have a good time, yea!?

They started off with their first song on the set list and Bayley was already dancing with Tegan. Tommy just stood there awkwardly as he knew some of the songs, but not most.

He was enjoying the show though, he was always a fan of live shows and performers working.

When he would workout at home, Tommy would flip on a live concert from YouTube. His favorites were Freddie Mercury and Pink Floyd.

35 minutes later*

The opening act of Mercy Rule had finished and the band walked off stage. Julian stopped and stayed with the couple and Tegan.

Tegan: You guys were amazing out there!

Bayley: Ah, I loved it.

Julian: Aw, thanks. Wow. That crowd was something else.

Tommy: sighs* I gotta give it to you man, you were right.

Julian: -

Tommy: I'm a fan now. Amazing show.

They bro hugged each other and Bayley snapped a quick photo of it.

Julian: Means alot coming from you, dude.

They continued to talk a bit before Paramore walked past them and straight to the stage as they kicked off the night.

Mercy Rule came back and hung around the group as the set list was digging.

Half way through, a song came up that was pretty slow.

Bayley was standing in front of Tommy and wrapped her arms around him, he did the same and they slowly danced next to Julian and Tegan. They were close and swaying back and forth.

The band continued through the set list with songs that Tommy had no idea were. He stood there awkwardly as Bayley, Tegan and Julian were rocking out and singing to the lyrics.

Concert ends*

Paramore walked off as the show had officially ended. Tommy bro hugged Julian while Tegan and Bayley said their goodbyes with a hug.

The couples then split as Tommy walks his girl out if the venue and back to his car.

20 minutes later*

As Tommy was pulling up, Bayley had the radio cranked with songs from both bands they heard tonight. She was singing to them and trying to get Tommy to budge but she was unsuccessful.

He parked and they both got out as Bayley was on top of the world. She saw her favorite band, saw one of her good friends and made a new one; she then got to do it all with Tommy.

Walking to her room*

She had his hand as they swayed it back and forth as she said one more thing.

Bayley: Hey, thank you for coming out with me tonight.

Tommy: I had fun. I didn't think I'd like it, but it wasn't bad.

Bayley: gasps* Maybe we can go to a Fall Out Boy concert next!?

Tommy: Woah now, gotta pump the breaks.

She laughed as they reached her room, he walked in with her as the clock read midnight.

Bayley yawned and that was the sign that it was time to go.

Tommy: Alright, I'm gonna head to bed. Thanks for tonight.

Bayley: I'm glad I got to spend it with you.

They locked hands and he pulled his back so she was pulled closer to him. She smiled at him and they kissed each other, and they wouldn't unlock for a bit.

He saw this as a win since they're moving closer with their feelings. Bayley felt the exact same way about him.

When they did unlock, he said his goodnights and she said hers.

The door closed behind Tommy and Bayley smiled big. Today was the best day of her life.

It was all thanks to a few friends and her special one.

END OF CHAPTER 17

Hey everyone. This has been a long time coming.

Me and my good friend storiesandchillwwe have finally collabed. All credit between the interaction with his OC Julian and my guy Tommy goes to him. He wrote it perfectly for the crossover in his Teagn Nox story "Something About You"!

I'm baffled that he is an underdog on Wattpad. When I say his stories are well written and amazing, I mean it. Check him out, show him some love and hit him with a follow.

You won't regret it.
