(Raw after Battleground)

With Battleground gone, Bliss Kingdom looks forward towards the Intercontinental title tournament. Hours before the show, Josh and Peyton filed a nine month leave for Peyton's pregnancy and WWE management gave the approval. With Josh and Peyton on the sidelines, Bliss Kingdom are now at the mercy of the First Army's numbers game. Then Finn received a text message from the person he called last week.

???: me and her are here, we'll strike on your go

Finn: great, I'll let you know

???: alright

Seth: Finn, who texted you?

Finn: the person I talked to last week

Bayley: and he agreed to join our cause?

Finn: not just him, even his girlfriend too

Lexi: ooh, whoever they are, they had history with Rhea, Jordan and WALTER

Finn: that's the only hint I gave to the First Army

Alex: when will meet them?

Finn: he said tonight

Travis: sweet

Then Billie got a call from Peyton.

Billie: hey sister

Peyton: you guys are at the arena already?

Billie: yeah, we are; how are you doing?

Peyton: I'm doing great; my Joshy is taking care of me and I'm eating well

Billie: that's good for you and your baby; has a bump started to form yet?

Peyton: slowly, but surely

Billie: okay, you should rest now

Peyton: I will; me and Josh will be watching the tournament

Billie: okay, bye bestie

Peyton: bye

Sasha: was that Peyton?

Billie: yup

Becky: oh, how is she?

Billie: she's doing well; Josh is taking care of her

Bayley: man, she's lucky to have a guy like Josh

Billie: hey, we have loving boyfriends, like Travis...

Bayley: Finn...

Becky: Seth...

Charlotte: Chase...

Lexi: and Alex...

Finn: love you too, Bay

Seth: I love you Becky

Chase: can't argue with you, your Highness

Alex: I love you too, baby

The guys hugged their girlfriends and they went to their big locker room.
