=========================
The last Smackdown before Backlash has gone off without an issue, the crowd here in Lyon are loving it while Hailee sat up in a box with Brandi, Zac and Liberty, their talking about how Hailee and Tristan met, it was of course Brandi's idea for Zac to have that party and introduce him to someone so she's feeling pretty good about it right now...
... They stopped their chatter when Tristan's music hit though giveing out a better reaction then when Cody did, Brandi made a note of that, she's pretty sure Hunter's going to do something with them both soon anyway, there's no way he's going to keep them apart when their his two top stars on the Blue brand right now, Tristan wasn't as focused on that as she was though, walking out the curtain with confidence in his step...
... Tristan walked down the ramp, excited about this, he's never been in front of a French crowd quite like this before and with what's to come, their going to love it, all he wanted to do was take his time, high fiving and hugging his way to the steps, climbing up them and stepping into the ropes, picking up the waiting microphone as he went.
Tristan: Bonjour Lyon...
Tristan learnt a little French before coming over here, he was going to be spending a few days here, not learning how to have a basic conversation would have just been rude and inconsiderate, the fans seemed to enjoy it, however he can't speak that much in their native tongue so he let them respectfully know.
Tristan: ... Si cela ne vous dérange pas, je vais revenir à l'anglais...
Tristan just said that he's going to go back to English, he knows how to great people, ask them if they can speak any English and if they have something that he might need, the real basic stuff, he could have learnt more but the fact he can speak as much as he can is actually a miracle, it surprised Zac who made a little dig about him barely being able to speak english properly, Hailee just chuckled it off while watching her boyfriend walking around the ring.
Tristan: ... Now, tomorrow night, I face Logan Paul in my first ever WWE fight for the United States title...
Tristan's name will join some of the greats to potentially win a title on his in ring debut in the WWE, Pat Patterson did it, Tristan's grown up to know him and loved him like a wacky Uncle, if he can join that man then he'd be honored and that's the difference between Tristan and Logan Paul, Logan generally doesn't care about the WWE of its history, he just cares about being viral, Tristan however, lives for these small moments standing in front of a sold out crowd just talking.
Tristan: ... Just take that sentence in for a second. Logan Paul, stands between me and my family's Legacy. Call me what you like but I'm a fan of those odds.
