*before the show*

TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd): Okay, Mike. Counter her headlock with an Armlock, followed by a headlock of your own.

We see Michael doing training wrestling training with TJ and Natalie (Natalya) while John, Nicole, Byran, Brie, Joe, Colby, Saraya, Randy, and Jon watch him do as he was told.

Colby: He's pretty good.

Randy: He's a lot better than before.

TJ: There we go. Now, Nat will back up against the ropes and push you away. Duck under a strike from her and hit your own.

They do so as Nat pushes him off her. Michael bounces off the ropes, ducks under a Clothesline from Nat before...

Everyone: Woah!

Michael hooks her leg before letting it go. He then gets off of her as he helps Nat up.

Michael: How's that?

Natalie: That was...pretty cool. Didn't think you'd go for a Springboard.

TJ: Yeah. That was awesome.

Michael: I've been practicing for a while now. I can do a Crossbody, but still working on the rest.

Natalie: Well, just go little by little, okay?

Michael nods before getting a kiss on the forehead by Nat as they got up. Soon, the others clapped and cheered for Michael hitting a big move for his age as he smiles at them.

Bryan: That was awesome, man! Didn't know you can hit a Crossbody like that.

Colby: Gonna be an High Flyer in the future?

Michael: Yep. I mean, I want to mix with the movesets of dad and Uncle Shawn, basically a powerhouse and a high flyer.

John: Sounds cool. Let's see how you'll do when you grow up.

Michael: Mmhmm.

TJ: Okay, let's continue. Let's see how would you be able to escape from the Sharpshooter.

Michael nods as he and Natalie resume. Nat gently drops him down and grabs his legs.

Jon: Okay, Mike, get ready.

Nat start to wrap his legs around hers, until Michael used the moment of her turning around grabs her other leg. He then drops her down, breaks free and wraps his arms on her ankle, kneeling down, making an Ankle Lock. The others cheered as Nat taps out as Michael breaks the hold.

Nat: That was amazing. I didn't expect you to counter into an Ankle Lock.

Michael: Been watching a lot of Kurt Angle and Ken Shamrock matches. I find it cool they would lock the hold in creative ways.

TJ: Damn. And you did a better lock that Don (Jack Swagger) does.

Nicole: Yeah. You put in the effort and the intensity on the Hold like Kurt does.
