At the SD headquarters.

Rade was in his locker room praying in hopes of his statement for MITB, until the Empress of Tomorrow came inside.

Asuka: Hey Rade, what are you doing?

Rade opened eyes.

Rade: Haven't you heard of praying?

Asuka: Yes. We pray for Japanese God's what are you praying about?

The Brawler smirked.

Rade: The good old man in the skies, don't you believe in him?

Asuka: Is there any evidence?

Rade: Wait, you seriously don't believe in God? I've been praying to him for so long and this is where it got me.

Asuka: Sorry, I didn't meant to hurt your feelings.

Rade: It's alright.

Asuka: No seriously, I wanna care for you.

She hugged him tightly like she was gonna break his bones.

Rade: Asuka.. Stop.

She let go of the Brawler.

Asuka: Did it hurt?

Rade: Look, why don't we discuss this after my promo, deal?

The Empress smiled and nodded.

Rade: Okay, I gotta go.

Asuka: Good luck.

Then both of them left.

At arena.

Elias was on the ring.

Elias: This Sunday at MITB I promise to win the briefcase and-

He was interrupted by the Brawler of Belgrade.

Rade: Your wrong, it is I the Brawler of Belgrade who'll win the briefcase and I got what it takes.

Elias: You got what it takes? Ha, don't make me laugh, I even made a song of you failing, wanna here it?

The Brawler marched to the ring and started fighting with the Drifter and then Lashley and Gargano also came out and entered the ring and began brawling, it didn't took Christian long enough to come with officials to get to the ring and separate them, but Lashley broke from the hold and Speared the Brawler and Hell broke loose.

Backstage.

Holding a ice pack on his chest, the Spear almost cut the Brawler in half, he then sat on a crate.

Rare: "In Serbian"- That Elias is really annoying me and the Spear from Lashley could've almost kill me, I'll show them this Sunday.

Asuka: Rade! Are you okay?

She then sat beside him and put one of her hands at his shoulder.

Rade: I'm fine, it's nothing serious.

Asuka: Okay, now about the thing.

Rade: Oh yeah, you start off.

Asuka: The reason why I wanna care for you is because...

The Brawler raised a eyebrow.

Rade: Come on Asuka, say it you know I don't bite.

Asuka: It's because I love you. Your everything I could imagine, your funny, good to talk to, nice and etc. In other words, I want you.

The Brawler responded with a kiss to the cheek.

Rade: Silly Asuka, I had the same thing for you, even the guys knew it especially Dario, but I find you cute and what do you say, wanna be together?

The Empress responded with a kiss to the lips and he kissed back.

Asuka: Come on, let's go to your locker room so I can have a good look on the wound.

The Brawler nodded in agreement.

Rade: Sure.Peace out!
