(Friday)

Luke was booked for a tag team match with Cesaro against the current SmackDown Tag Team Champions the Usos, following the Nomad's aid to the Swiss Superman and a brief staredown with the Head of the Table, the Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

The women's division was firing up following the return of Becky Lynch from maternity leave, and winning the SmackDown women's champion in a less than a minute match that made the fans and Nikki Bella alike angry due to the former champion Bianca Belair's booking.

The return of The Man sparked something inside Liv as she recalled something during the pandemic era when Becky left for maternity leave.

Becky: when I return... you'll be champion

Liv took those words into heart, now that the Lasskicker is champion, Liv is still staying in the back of the line all because of Prichard's direction of creative.

Meanwhile in the men's locker room, Luke was warming up for his tag team match and was also waiting for the seamstress to finish making his new attire. While he stretched, his tag partner Cesaro came in.

Cesaro: hey Luke

Luke: what's up?

Cesaro: thanks for the help last week

Luke: hey, you deserve to face the so called Head of the Table, this is your opportunity

Cesaro: if only creative can see that

Luke: Prichard...

Cesaro: speaking of him, it seems he and Vince are gonna be in charge of the new NXT

Luke: they're gonna what?!

Cesaro: NXT is rebranding, no more signing indie stars anymore

Luke: those guys are the reason NXT is so great, and now the balyena will ruin it

Cesaro: they even changed the logo. Look at this

Luke cringed at the sight of it.

Luke: who the hell made this? A kindergartener?

Cesaro: it is what it is

Luke: Swiss, I have a mission to go against what Bruce Prichard, John Laurinaitis and Vince McMahon envisioned, but I can't do it alone with Liv. Will you join the fight?

Cesaro: as long as I get my opportunity, I will join you

Luke: we got some ass to kick tonight, and I don't mind adding another title to my shoulder once we win

Cesaro: non-title though

Luke: hey, we win, we get a chance

Cesaro: alright, I'm gonna go stretch

Luke: see you out there later, partner

The two fist bumped as the Intercontinental Champion went back to stretching.

(An hour later)

The show opened with the new SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch making her entrance to a mix of cheers and boos from the crowd.

Becky: it's great to be back, but I want to say I'm sorry... for absolutely nothing! WWE is all about opportunity and I grabbed it at the right time after I was gone for a year and a half ago, but after SummerSlam, the Man has come around. Now if there are any Superstars who wants to step up to challenge me, I'm out here, come on out.

The champ's call was answered by four worthy challengers: Zelina Vega, Carmella, former champion Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan. Becky had a smug look on her face and nodded as she sees all four women's potentials. The Man backed up and got out of the ring just as the four women ignited a brawl that turned into a match, with the winner facing Becky for the championship at the next pay-per-view. The match was a fatal four way elimination style.

(Fast forward)

Bianca eliminated Zelina via pinfall after a KOD and Liv eliminated Carmella via pinfall after a ObLIVion, now it was just down to two, the former champion and the woman who has been scratching and clawing her way for her opportunity.

(End)

Bianca went for another KOD, but Liv got out of it and fazed the EST with a step up enziguri, making Belair stumble to the ropes. Liv snatched the opportunity to hit a desperate ObLIVion for the pinfall victory. The crowd cheered loud as Liv was now one step closer to realize her dream of becoming champion.

Somewhere in the back, Prichard is flipping his table as he is pissed off of the match's outcome.

Bruce: no no no! She's was not supposed to win! God damn it!

Staff: well what now?

Bruce: I need time to think, but let's focus on the main event tag team match tonight

(In the locker room)

The Nomad was happy as he was watching the match.

Luke: yeah babe! Yeah!

Liv happily ran into his locker room and jumped onto his back.

Liv: Lukey!

Luke: I watched it babe! I'm so proud

Liv: one step closer!

Luke: the only obstacles that stands in the way is Becky and... Prichard's booking

Liv: yeah

Luke: babe, do you want to join our fight against Prichard, McMahon and Laurinaitis?

Liv: ours? Anyone involved?

Luke: Cesaro is, he is fighting to get to the top, same goal as you

Liv: oh yeah babe, I will join your fight. Remember, your fight is my fight

The two smiled at each other and shared a kiss on their lips.

(Main event)

Liv: Lukey, is that your new attire?

Luke: yeah, you like it?

Liv: the colors suit you, and that hood is... wow

Luke: thanks, I even have some new music, so keep your ears open

Liv: I'll be watching. Kick butt out there

Luke: that's my job

The Nomad left and met up with Cesaro at the gorilla.

It was the main event as the SmackDown Tag Team Champions the Usos takes on the rebellious team of Luke Ardiente and Cesaro.

The Bloodline made their entrance with the Tribal Chief leading the way with his cousins walking behind him. The family got in the ring and raised their championships.

The Swiss Superman made his entrance to a loud Cesaro Section. Like Liv, Cesaro is also climbing the ever competitive WWE mountain, to plant his flag at the summit while treading through the avalanche known as the creative department.

Cesaro got in the ring and stared down at the Usos and Roman Reigns as a new theme played.

The new entrance theme belonged to none other than Luke Ardiente. The Nomad came out wearing a new attire consisting of a Malicious Fiendish stylr design with the colors purple and black on the tights. The Philippine sun was colored purple along with the sharp style letter A and the word "nomad" written in Japanese.

His entrance jacket is in the colors of the Yu-Gi-Oh monster Evil HERO Malicious Fiend. The hood is the signature Assassin's Creed beaked hood.

Luke got in the ring and lowered his hood as he fist bumped Cesaro. Luke also stared down at Roman who was sitting at ringside watching.

(Match starts)

The match started with Cesaro firing with an uppercut on Jimmy Uso, knocking him down, shocking the champions. Jey helped his brother up. Then Cesaro and Jimmy locked up while Roman looked on.

(Fast forward)

Cesaro tagged Luke in and the Nomad landed some punches on Jey. Then he launched the tag champion to the ropes to land a back body drop. Jimmy came in to attempt to help his brother, but he was met by a spinebuster from the Evil HERO Assassin Nomad. Luke went for the cover, but Jey kicked out. Then Luke took the opportunity to lock in the Katipunan Clutch, but Jimmy managed to save his brother by breaking up the hold.

Cesaro came in to take down Jimmy with another uppercut, and then got him in position for the Cesaro Swing, the Swiss Superman swung Jimmy around, but it was stopped by a superkick from Jey.

However, Jey turned his back on Luke; the Nomad got back up and locked in the Katipunan Clutch in the middle of the ring while he stared down at Reigns sitting at ringside. Jey had no choice, but to tap out at the Nomad.

Roman looked on with anger and disappointment on his face. Luke got back up and turned to see Cesaro dragging Jimmy back in the ring. 

The Swiss Superman stared down at the Head of the Table as executed the Neutralizer on Jimmy.

Then Luke picked up the SmackDown Tag Team titles and gave one to Cesaro. Then the two men raised the title belts as the crowd saw on a possible double championships for Luke.

Roman helped his cousins up as they walked to the ramp as Luke and Cesaro returned the tag titles. 

While Cesaro stared daggers at Reigns, Luke turned to the camera.

Luke: hey Prichard, this is how the show ends on our watch. This is what I have to say to you, Nick Khan, McMahon and Laurinaitis rebranding NXT along with all this piles of crappy scripts

The Nomad made a defiant move by throwing up his two middle fingers at the camera, knowing Prichard is watching.

Luke: your scripts can kiss our asses

In the back, Prichard was even more livid, as the original plan is to have the Usos win, but it all fell apart thanks to the rebellious Nomad.

The show ended with Cesaro and Luke celebrating with the fans while at the same time; Luke, Liv and Cesaro have formed a silent alliance against the creative team.
