Archangel Finds Bliss: Temptation

Where Light and Dark Meet

Despite saying he wouldn't be on RAW, Alexa insisted that he show up to the Red brand earlier and not to worry about her. In truth, he didn't worry about her, it was what Buddy Murphy might do while he wasn't there that he was worried about

To open up RAW, the Archangel walked down to the ring and stepped foot inside to face Shelton Benjamin, the man Aleister Black wouldn't have defeated if the Archangel hadn't interrupted

Before the match could begin, the Archangel looked up with a blank look on his face and Shelton with a rather perplexed look on his face. The Archangel watched Aleister sit atop the ramp and Shelton step closer to the ropes, inviting the Dutch Destroyer into the ring

With a smirk on his face, the Archangel hit the Rapture on Shelton Benjamin and soon the Exodus to the back of his head, making sure he looked straight at Aleister Black as he nailed the back of the Gold Standard's head

Stomping his foot on top of the former World's Greatest Tag Team member, the referee counted to three. The Herald from High, using Benjamin as a pedestal struck his pose and looked to the sky, before pointing his finger at Aleister with a sinister smile etched on his face as he spoke into the microphone handed to him

Archangel: This Sunday, at Money in the Bank, Aleister Black, you will face me in the sheer name of the Root of All Evil... I have but one request... when you face me, let us go to war but let the battleground be inside of a Steel Cage!

Aleister made his way down to the ring and the Archangel left, both men sharing a stare before Erick Rowan came down to face the Harbinger of Fury, the crowd chanting for Aleister to accept the imposition

The Archangel watched from the back, intrigued by the match of Aleister Black, giving him so many ideas before their clash at Money in the Bank before Aleister answered his challenge

Aleister: Archangel, you seek the destruction of your vessel... in an enclosure to atone for your shortcoming weeks prior... I accept your challenge!

Turning on his heel, he walked back to the locker room to head off back to LA to be with Alexa again as Aleister's music hit and the crowd's voices drowned out. The King of Kings, however, had other plans for him and stopped him before he started changing

Wesley: Why?

HHH: We have something we might want to do later tonight, and we need your help too!

Wesley: Why me?

HHH: Because you're the former Champion, and it only makes some sense...

Wesley: Can you delay my flight?

HHH: We already did!

Wesley: Should've led with that. Would've been easier for you!

Tugging his bag zipper, he pulled out a T-shirt and draped it on before stepping out of the locker room with an exhausted look on his face before heading down in catering. The King of Kings whipped out a radio from behind him and checked in

HHH: Alright, he's staying, it's all up to you now!

Alexa: He'll be blissed soon, boss!

The King of Kings smiled as he gave the Goddess a hug and left to attend to some more business. A chime later came from Alexa's phone and she went over to check. It was a message from Murphy

Murphy: Good luck on your return tonight

Alexa: How do you know I'm returning?
