This is a bit of a remake/retelling of Michael's debut story, Son of the Game, where it will first take place in 2015 with a few chapters taking place after he returned from 9 year hiatus from WWE. Soon, it will have Michael be World Champion, like...
Michael and Bryan Danielson are seen backstage after their match as Michael was worried about Bryan getting hurt after the bout. Bryan simply shook his head.
Bryan: Nope. Honestly, I never worked with a more safer wrestler like you before. You really took care of my well being, Mike.
Michael: Really? I mean, I hit you with moves that targeted your neck and shoulders.
Bryan: And I didn't feel much pain from those moves. I'm amazed you managed to hit some moves without any form of botch or mistake. I mean, you didn't have a lot of matches at this caliber before. Oh and the counters and reversals? Man are you sure you not wrestling behind our backs?
Michael: Pfft. What? No! I just train. I train in my free time from college. That's it.
Bryan: Alright then. I better go see Brie. I bet she's having a heart attack after seeing me go out there.
Michael: A wife worries for her man. It's natural.
Bryan: Yep. Anyway, I better get going. Good luck on match with Joe. Hope I didn't have you use most of your energy from ours.
Michael: I will. Take care, BD.
Bryan nods as he walks off. Michael watches him leave as he sat down and takes a sip of water. He looks at his phone and sees many tweets, praising his match with Danielson. Mike smiles as he sees so many claiming it to be a instant classic.
Soon, someone approached him as they sat down next to him.

Michael: Relaxing before my match with Joe. And looking on twitter. Oh hey, here's a tweet from ya. "Best Match of the Year, hands down. Truly Bad." Nice. I just liked and retweeted it
Mercedes: *smiles and laughs* You're so silly, Mike. *gets serious* But seriously. Are you sure you're gonna go through the match? What if you get injured?
