That morning, Jake woke up quite early. He checked on his body that was full of bruises and scars. Some of it is from his wrestling while some of it he got from fighting in the prison.
"Well, who needs tatoo when I already have a lot of this" muttered Jake alone. He then gets up and head to shower. Once he done wash-up and put his clothes on, he walked to the nearby diner to have a breakfast. Suddenly, he got a phone call from Triple H which he quickly answered.
Jake: Yes, Boss.
Triple H: Hey, Jake. So, how's your body?
Jake: Well, it's getting better.
Triple H: I see. By the way, I'm here to tell you that after done in Nagoya, you don't have to return to America. Just go straight to Manchester since we will be tapping both Raw and Smackdown there.
Jake: Manchester?
Triple H: That's true.
Jake: Can I get an exception, Boss? I hate to be there.
Triple H: Look, son. I know how did you feel. But as a professional, you need to get the job done.
Jake: Very well. I'll be there. Only because you asked me to do so.
Triple H: Good. See you around.
Jake: Yes, sir.
Then, they hung up.
"Never thought that I will be returning there" muttered Jake alone.
Few days later;
Kaito Kiyomiya managed to defeat Kenoh after hitting a Tiger Suplex. Suddenly, the arena went dark before a few chair shot was heard. After the light is back, everybody was shocked as Kiyomiya lying down at the centre of the ring while Joe is there holding a stealchair. Joe then continued hitting Kiyomiya with the stealchair.
"Ore wa kisama o korosu to iimashita yo ne" said Joe. (I've told you that I will kill you, right) Jake then walked towards a corner. Once Kiyomiya about to get up, Joe dashed towards him and hits End of Journey.
"Mata Ao" said Joe before leaving the ring.
A few days later;
Jake is walking back home after doing some workout at the PC when he hears someone call his name. He turned around and saw his ex-girlfriend.
"You again? What the hell that you want, bitch?" asked Jake.
"I just want to talk and stop calling me bitch" replied Delaila.
"After killing my career and reputation, you deserved that bitch title" said Jake as he walked away.
"Seriously, Jake. What's wrong with you? You were sent to the jail because you can't prove that you're innocent!" replied Delaila.
"For the accusation that you made. Seriously, if murdering is legal, you already a dead meat now" said Jake.
"Where are you going?" asked Delaila.
"None of your business, bitch" replied Jake before walked away.
"Stop calling me bitch!" yelled Delaila but Jake ignored her and keep walking.
Later that night;
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall!"
"Introducing first. From Atlanta, Georgia. Weighed in at 220 lb. He is the United States Champion; Austin Theory!"
"And his opponent. From Tokyo, Japan. Weighed in at 245 lb. He is the GHC Heavyweight Champion. The Wanderer; Joe Marufuji!"
TING! TING! TING!
Both wrestlers went to collar-elbow tie up position before Theory grabbed Joe's wrist and twisted it but Jake managed countered by doing a backflip before hits Theory with a kick.
"So, The Wanderer is our permanent roster now, huh" said Becky.
"I guess so. He never talk to any of us after all" replied Io.
"Even you? I thought that you both known each other" said Charlotte.
"Well, I known his uncle but not him" replied Io.
"Quite impossible to know him, huh. But I heard he spent a year in prison" said Bianca.
"Yes, he was arrested right away after coming back from Russia. The British mass media called him from hero to zero" replied Tegan.
"Did he really abusive though? He doesn't seem like one except to Kiyomiya" said Shotzi.
"We should try to get to know him but who will start the first move" said Becky. No one reply.
Later on;
Joe accidentally hits the referee when he Irish whipped Theory. Suddenly, Kiyomiya came from behind and hit Joe with a sledgehammer. Kiyomiya then tried to hit again but this time, Joe rolled away just in time before kip-up and hits Kiyomiya with a flying forearm causing Kiyomiya to drop the sledgehammer. Seeing this, Kiyomiya quickly rolled out from the ring. Unfortunately for Joe, the referee saw him holding the sledgehammer causing Theory to win via disqualification. Joe was disbelief while Kiyomiya laughed at him.
"Nani o waratteru nda yo kuso yarō" said Joe causing Kiyomiya to stop laughing. Joe then quickly rolled out from the ring before chasing Kiyomiya.
Later on;
Kiyomiya arrived at his car. He tried to start the engine but failed. Later on, Joe arrived with the sledgehammer. Joe then walked towards the car before started to break the window. Joe then grabbed Kiyomiya and started to beat him up. Soon enough, the security came and took Joe away.
On the next day;
Jake is sleeping inside his hotel room when someone knocks on the door. He then went to check on it and saw;
"You're from NXT, right. What are you doing here?" asked Jake.
"Well, I visited a friend here and she happened to work here. So, she told me about you" replied Cora.
"What are you, a freak?" asked Jake. Cora giggled.
"No. I saw you always working out alone at the PC but never get a chance to say hi. So, want to have breakfast with me?" asked Cora.
"No thanks" replied Jake before closed the door.
"Really? You shut the door to me? You'll never have a girlfriend that way" said Cora.
"I don't need a girlfriend. Thank you. Now, leave before I call the police" said Jake.
"Fine, fine. You're no fun" replied Cora before walked away.
"Fun? I rather known as a boring guy than need to return back to prison" muttered Jake alone. Suddenly, Jake received a phone call from England.
"Now what?" muttered Jake alone.
Jake: Hello.
???: Hello, mate. Remember me?
Jake: Rashford, huh. What do you want?
Rashford: We're on the last name term, huh.
Jake: Got a problem with that?
Rashford: No, of course not. Look, I know you're mad at us for not having your back. The ladies influent us to do so.
Jake: The ladies hold your balls now innit, you fucking cunt.
Rashford: Of course not. Look, we're sorry for what happened. We really regret it.
Without saying anything, Jake hung up.
"Fucking twat" muttered Jake alone.
A week later;
Naomichi Marufuji and Adam Pearce are inside the ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen. It is an honor for us here on Raw as we will be witnessing a contract signing for the GHC Heavyweight Championship match. I would like to thank Mr Adam Pearce for allowing me to do so" said Marufuji.
"Well, Marufuji-san. It's an honor to have such things to do. Now, without further ado, please welcome the challenger; Kaito Kiyomiya!"
Kiyomiya then walked into the ring and took a seat. Then;
Joe then made his entrance with the GHC Heavyweight title on his shoulder. He then smirked at Kiyomiya before taking a seat.
"Okay. First of all, I want this signing to end up peacefully. So, no fighting or this match will be canceled even after you have signed the contract" said Marufuji.
"I won't let my chance to win the title be wasted. So, don't worry" replied Kiyomiya.
"Joe" said Marufuji.
"I really want to kill this bastard. So, I don't mind waiting a bit longer" replied Joe.
"Very well then. Now, both of you may sign the contract" said Marufuji. Kiyomiya then took the contract and signed it before handing it over to Joe. Joe then checked on it and signed.
"See, it's not that hard" said Marufuji.
"See you in Nagoya, kiddo" said Kiyomiya. Joe just smirked. Suddenly;
"What the hell is this? Having a contract signing for another company right here. I am the WWE Champion here but I didn't get such a spotlight" said Lashley.
"Well, Lashley. Take a look at our face here. Does it seem like we care?" asked Joe.
"Well, Marufuji. I don't like you but I kinda agree with you" said Kiyomiya.
"If you have anything to say, Marufuji. Why don't you say it straight on my face?" asked Lashley.
"Already did. Unless you're deaf or something" replied Joe.
"Be careful of your words here, Marufuji. You might be getting hurt from what you had said" said Lashley.
"Getting hurt, huh. I don't mind. What if I told you this, once I done with Kiyomiya here, I'm coming to you and your WWE title? Sounds good, right" said Joe.
"As you wished" replied Lashley.
"He gets Lashley's attention without calling him out?" asked Charlotte.
"Well, he doesn't talk much. Everything was proved with his action" replied Becky.
"And this caught the attention of the WWE Champion, huh" said Tegan.
"This is interesting" said Io. The rest just agreed.
