*"Nick finds out he didn't suffer a stomach bug. He was poisoned, and he thinks he knows EXACTLY who did it."*

## Story

The Young Bucks are at LAX airport waiting at check in and Matt asks Nick how his stomach is after last wekeend. Nick says that he feels a bit better now but it wasn't just a 24-hour bug, in fact he had to go to the hospital. In fact the doctor's said that he was poisoned. Matt wonders who would do such a thing. A travel montage follows.

Matt and Nick are in the hotel and working out in the hotel gym. Marty Scurll arrives and congratulates the duo on their deal with the clothing store, Hot Topic. Matt says they will carry Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and Bullet Club merch and the deal is huge. Marty asks what happened last weekend. He says that he left them and Nick was fine and then straight after he got ill. Nick tells Marty that someone might have poisoned him and marty is shocked. Matt wonders if it was a rib but Marty says that only a sick, malicious person would do something like that. They wonder if it could be The Revival but Marty doesn't think even they would do that. They mention Jim Cornette and Booker T, but dismiss them also. They are thinking of other people who hate The Bucks and mention Bruce Pritchard and JBL but decide it wouldn't be them either.

Nick says that his instinct is that it was Adam Cole which Marty can't believe. Marty says that he has known The Bucks and Cole for a long time and there is no chance he would do something like that. Matt says that Cole has a weird side to him and that Nick is ready to confront him. Later at a Ring of Honor show Nick is doing commentary alongside Colt Cabana. Cabana asks if he could become the cameraman and let Matt do commentary. They switch and Cabana films the duo commentating and talking with Ian Riccaboni where Matt insists that Bullet Club is fine.

Footage of the Bucks' match follows. A caption appears as Matt says that they were supposed to wrestle The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) but that 'these guys showed up instead' as a picture of The Addiction dressed as The Road Warriors appears.

Later Matt and Nick head to Adam Cole's hotel room to confront him. Adam is pleased to see them but Nick accuses Cole of poisoning him at Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. Cole rejects this and says that The Bucks have become impossible to deal with. He says there was the UK trip with Kenny and their nigh at Denny's that the Bucks didn't invite Cole to. Cole says that he won't tolerate this any more and that they need to settle it like men and that he wants to fight there and then.

Matt says they aren't going to fight as it would be two against one but then the group act out a comic, mock match in the hotel room. Marty walks in on them and looks shocked and leaves. The fight continues and at the conclusion a caption awards them a five star rating. The three are laid out on the floor and ask how they got to this point. Nick agrees that Cole didn't poison him and they decide to put it behind them. They all begin to cry and say they will always be best friends. Having made up they thank Marty for filming the fight and enact the Superkilq kiss before The Bucks leave.

Marty calls after the duo to say they left their phone but Adam Cole tells him to just leave it on the bed while they talk, but the camera is still recording. Cole says that he needs to confide in Marty as he has known Scurll for even longer than he has known The Bucks. Cole says that Marty will understand because he is *The Villain* and asks him to promise not to tell anyone about what Cole is about to say. He then admits that it was really him that poisoned Nick. Marty doesn't believe him but Cole confirms it. Marty looks shocked as Cole says that it is behind them now that they have worked it through, but that he had had to teach Nick a lesson.

At that point the Bucks return for their phone. Marty makes some excuses about needing to read his "dick-tionary and leaves. Cole says to Matt and Nick that he shouldn't really say anything but then asks how well the pair really know Marty? He says that Scurll has being acting odd recently and asks if they had considered if it could be Marty that had poisoned Nick? The Bucks look shocked as the episode finishes.

## Notes

* The Young Bucks produce a list of people who might have tried to poison Nick including The Revival, Jim Cornette, JBL, Booker T, and Bruce Pritchard. These were all wrestling personalities that they had had argments with on social media in the recent past, although the issues with The Revival were likely a work.
* Nick had actually been ill the previous week but the group decided to work it into the *Adam Cole must die!* angle.
