After signing with the WWE and heading to the SmackDown roster, Luke Ardiente looks to prove himself more. He arrived at the arena by himself as he is used to travelling on his own because in real life, the Pinoy Nomad is an introvert. Getting into character, Luke put on his headphones and got out of his car without even acknowledging the fans calling his name.

Growing up as a kid, Luke had this antisocial bubble around him; he doesn't want to deal with the people around him which means he didn't had any friends. Though he was good looking, Luke just wanted to be on his own.

He walked to his locker room, again not acknowledging the staff and his fellow Superstars. As Luke he walked in, he breath a sigh of relief.

Luke: finally, a place where I can be on my own, and no one to disturb me

He laid out his ring attire as his debut was later on tonight.

(An hour later)

Luke was called into Shane McMahon's office. He got into character as he walked into Shane's office.

Luke: what do you want?

Shane: whoa, take it easy on the attitude there Luke. I just want to welcome you to SmackDown

Luke: so you call me in just for a welcome greeting?

Shane: not only that, I just want to tell who you're facing in your debut tonight

Luke: okay who?

Shane: Sin Cara

Luke: hmm

Shane: you may go, but after your match, come and see me

Luke: whatever

The Pinoy Nomad left Shane's office. As he got out, he saw some of the SmackDown Women's Division from Bayley, Carmella, the IIconics and Liv Morgan. The girls looked at Luke and waved at him, but the Pinoy Nomad being the introvert he is, shook his head, sighed and walked away leaving the girls confused.

Peyton: what's with him?

Billie: he didn't even wave back

The IIconics walked away, leaving Bayley, Carmella and Liv.

Bayley: well they don't call Luke Ardiente the lone, serious guy for nothing

Carmella: I heard that he's an introvert

Liv however had a sympathetic look on her face.

Liv: a good looking guy like Luke is an introvert? That's so sad

Bayley: well we'll see how he does in his debut

Carmella: yeah, let's go to catering

The three girls left.

(30 minutes later)

Luke was already in his attire and he put on his entrance jacket. He was called to the gorilla and he made his way to wait for his cue.

(After the entrances)

As the bell rang, Luke fired a vicious clothesline on Sin Cara. The crowd were shocked to see such brute strength from the lone Superstar. Luke threw Sin Cara to the turnbuckle and flattened him with a splash.

(Backstage)

Bayley, Carmella and Liv were watching Luke's vicious debut.

Bayley: damn

Carmella: he's dangerous

Liv was watching closely as Luke's vicious move set unleashed. She began to slowly smile while her cheeks began to glow red.

Liv: he's dangerous alright, and I like it

She giggled and let out her signature blue tongue. Carmella and Bayley looked at their friend with teasing and confused looks.

Carmella: someone crushing on Luke?

Liv looked at her friends with a cute, blushing grin.

Bayley: even though you're not part of the Riott Squad, you're still a bit crazy

Liv: you know it, sista!

Carmella: girls, looks like Luke is ending it

(In the ring)

After nailing Sin Cara in the face with a vicious knee, Luke locked in his submission hold, the Katipunan Clutch. Sin Cara immediately taps out and the bell rang, but Luke still kept the Clutch locked in. The referee tried to break the hold, but couldn't. Then more referees came running down to the ring to break Luke off. They finally managed to separate Luke from Sin Cara.

Luke looked down and had an evil like smirk on his face. He got out of the ring and walked to the back.

Cameras followed him for interviews, but Luke ignored them and just continued walking. Then the Pinoy Nomad ran into Shane McMahon.

Shane: Luke, glad I caught you

Luke: what do you want now?

Shane: I wanna say congrats on a dominating debut

Luke: I don't need your compliments or congratulations, so hurry up and tell me what you want because you're wasting my time

Shane: okay okay, I just wanted to tell you of your match next week

Luke: what?

Shane: you'll be in a mixed tag team match

This didn't make Luke satisfied as for his whole wrestling career he was successful on his own though he was a part of Bullet Club back in Japan.

Luke: fine, so who is my opponents in this waste of a time match?

Shane: R-Truth and Carmella

Luke: oh my god; then who is my "teammate?"

Shane: your partner asked me if she can team with you, and I said sure

Luke: tell me who it is, McMahon!

Shane: here she is now

Luke turned to see a cute pink haired girl skipping to where Luke and Shane are.

Shane: Luke, meet your partner, our newest member to the roster from the Shake-Up, Liv Morgan

Liv: hi!

Luke put his hand over his face in annoyance and sighed while Liv giggled.

Luke: her?! You can't be serious, McMahon!

Shane: hey, Luke I've heard of your real life; being an introvert and all, and that made me sympathetic of you-

Luke: I don't need your sympathy!

Shane: Luke listen please!

Luke: what?!

Shane: in this business and even in other workplaces, you need to get along with your fellow peers; the WWE is like a big happy family and I don't want you to feel left out

Luke heavily sighed while still having an irritated look on his face.

Luke: fine, but this is just once and that's it

Shane: yeah yeah, one time only and you'll get back to your singles career; I just want to test you and your partner's chemistry and see if you two can get along

Liv: we'll get along fine

She giggled while Luke pinched the bridge of his nose while his head was down.

Shane: okay, good luck next week and Liv, that's some nice kicks you're wearing

Liv: thanks Shane, yours are nice too

The boss left, leaving Luke and Liv alone.

Liv: you and I make the perfect team!

She gave out a cute smile while showing her tongue.

Luke: listen here blue tongue, this is just one time only; I don't do teamwork, I work alone

Liv: you won't be for next week because you're with me!

She jumped and wrapped her arms and legs around Luke, which made him have an annoyed look on his face.

Luke: can you get off me

Liv: noooppee!

She giggled in a cute way. Liv buried her head into Luke's neck causing the Pinoy Nomad's eyes to widen in shock. He gently put down the Problem Child.

Luke: I'll see you next week...

This made Liv smile.

Liv: I can't wait to see you too, handsome

Liv gave Luke a hug which made him have a disgusted look on his face.

The Pinoy Nomad began to walk away before saying to himself.

Luke: hopefully not

Liv: later gator!

Liv skipped down the hallway while Luke shook his head and he continued walking. He went in his locker room to wash up before changing into his casual clothes.

Luke: that Liv Morgan is so immature

He shook his head and sighed heavily. Then he put on his headphones and turned on his music to zone himself from all the people around him. 

He exited the arena and got into his car before driving off, unbeknownst to Luke, Liv saw him while she was with Bayley and Carmella. The blue tongue Superstar thought to herself.

Liv's mind: Luke, I don't want you to feel alone in this world; I don't want you to be all lonely and things; you're too cute and handsome and I don't you to feel sad, but don't you worry, I'll be your first true friend and I hope you'll soon understand that I want to be more than friends with you.

Bayley: Liv, you okay?

Liv: huh? Yeah, I'm fine

Carmella: shall we go?

The girls nodded and they went in their car and drove off to the hotel.

(With Luke)

Luke drove up to his apartment where he is staying alone. He went in and put his bag on the couch before going into his bedroom. Luke changed into his night clothes and he went to bed. Before he slept, he thought to himself.

Luke's mind: Liv Morgan, me and her have totally opposite personalities, we will never get along

Luke thought or so he thinks because Liv has made it her mission to burst Luke's antisocial bubble and purge his introvert side with her playful and cute personality.
