TUESDAY/JUNE/02
Jay was woken up by his alarm clock at 7:00 am. He turned it off, scrubbed his eyes, and slowly sat up. He then grabbed his phone, and the first thing he noticed was an email from Hunter. He instantly opened it.
"How's it going, Jay? I hope everything is good. Anyway, today's program is a promo for your fight with Damien Priest. It's set for 4:00 PM, so be there. Don't worry about a thing; everything will be ready. Also, you and Priest can talk personally—he will be there too. And again, congrats, kid. You were as good as I expected."
Paul Levesque
After Jay read it, he walked to the bathroom and took a shower, then brushed his teeth. Once he finished, he put on a black t-shirt and grey sweatpants, slipped on his sneakers, and headed downstairs to grab some breakfast. Entering the cafeteria, bustling with people, including wrestlers, he grabbed a plate, loaded it with eggs and ham, and turned around to see Demi and Gionna waving at him. He walked over to join them.
Demi: "Well, good morning, sleepyhead... Did you sleep well?"
Gionna: "Morning, princess," she said, laughing.
Jay: "Good morning, you two." As he sat down, he noticed Demi briefly checking him out before quickly looking away. "I slept pretty well... What about you?"
Demi: "Yeah, pretty good. Thanks for asking."
Jay: "And you, Gionna?"
Gionna: "Good, I think? I fell asleep instantly. I was wrecked."
They chatted for a bit about their schedules for the day.
Jay: "So, I have a promo to do around 4:00 PM, then I'm free. What about you two?"
Rhea: "Well, I have a fight today against Nia Jax in New York, so I'll need to leave soon."
Gionna: "I'm free for the next two days."
Jay: "Well, in that case, why don't we go somewhere?"
Demi: "How about the gym?"
Jay: "Count me in, Captain."
Gionna: "Of course, it's a gym, you meatheads."
They both laughed and slowly made their way out.
AT THE GYM
Gionna was engrossed in her crossfit routine, while Rhea focused on her shoulders and legs. Meanwhile, Jay was deep into his deadlifts, pushing himself with heavy weights on the bench.
Observing Jay's effort, Gionna walked over to Rhea with an idea.
Gionna: "Hey, why don't we give him some encouragement? Maybe he'll hit a PR."
Rhea agreed, and they both approached Jay, who was currently deadlifting around 628 pounds (285kg) . The girls were impressed.
Rhea: "My God, you seeing this?"
Gionna: "I know, right? He's strong as fuck."
With sweat dripping off him, Jay noticed the two of them approaching.
Gionna: "I bet you can do more than that, big guy," she challenged.
Rhea: "Yeah, man, come on, push it!" she said, slapping his shoulder.
Jay grinned and accepted the challenge.
Jay: "You know what?... YOU'RE ON!" he declared, loading up 639 pounds (290 kg).
