Derek arrives at NXT. He hasn't been there for four months. He walks in the arena, championship in hand. Notice how he's alone, and not with the faction

Derek: Eric Dawsyn and Marcel Tryton. Definitely gonna have to see what they can do

Marcel Tryton is far left and Eric Dawsyn is far right in the pic. Derek is next to Eric and Gideon is next to Marcel

Derek walks around the back as he nods and says hi to the NXT Superstars. He sees Gideon talking with Ruby and decides not to intervene. He waits by some crates and lays on them. He plays on his phone until he gets an unwanted surprise

Sasha: Hey Derek

Derek: groans

Sasha: Has Rhea dumped you yet? Cause if she did, I can her championship and bring it back to your faction

Derek: laughs I'm not letting you, especially you, being the cheating whore and being from Smackdown, touch that championship ever.

Sasha: I can be moved to Raw, and then I'll win you back

Derek: Uh huh, sure. Just make sure not to get trampled by the better star talent on the Raw brand

Sasha: Hey! SmackDown's is good!

Derek: rolls his eyes Uh huh walks away

Sasha: You'll be mine again Derek! Just you watch!

Derek gets out of her line of sight

Derek: My fucking god, I wanted to knock her out

He gets around a few corners and spots Eric

Derek: Hey

Eric: Oh hey! You're Derek Jackson right?

Derek: Yeah. Your Eric Dawsyn?

Eric: Yes sir

Derek: Purple and Gold?

Eric: Yeah. It'll change later

Derek: Ah okay.

Eric: I'm so excited for the 8 man tonight

Derek: Really?

Eric: I get to tag with Marcel, the World Champion and the Intercontinental Champion

Derek: laughs Yeah. Cya tonight

Eric: Cya tonight

Derek then leaves. He walks around for a little bit, then spots Marcel

Marcel: Gotta impress the fans, gotta impress the fans

Derek: You alright?

Marcel: Yeah. Oh shit, Derek?

Derek: Yep I'm Derek

Marcel' Holy shit I'm standing next to the world champion of Raw, this is incredible

Derek: Don't get used to it, I'm only here to scout you and Eric

Marcel: I know, but it's still cool. I've got so much to impress the crowd with

Derek: That your only goal?

Marcel: No, but I like seeing the fans smile and cheer

Derek: I'll keep that in mind

When it gets to the four man match

Derek and Gideon are waiting for Eric and Marcel

Derek: So basically once they get told, we just watch as they tag each other, then either you or I finish the match
