## Story

The episode opens with Cody looking into camera and saying "That was a WWE stooge!". The opening credits roll.

Matt and Nick Jackson are at the airport waiting for a flight. Matt says that people can watch to the end of the episode to find out what Cody was talking about and what happened last week. They are heading to Canada for a show with IWS and hope to run into some old friends who will also be in the area. Nick doesn't think they will be able to use any footage of these friends though. Matt wonders what has happened to Flip Gordon as they hven't seen him in a while.

Flip is backstage at a show on his phone. He is talking to The Revival and says he got Nick's backpack for them but that he doesn't want to keep it. If The Young Bucks find out that he has it they will give him some more harmful ribs. Flip listens and sighs before saying "Forever The Revival". The camera pans across the venue where Cody is stood. He cups his hand to his ear and is listening in to Flip from distance. Flip hurridly picks up his gear and turns to head off but bumps into Punishment Martinez who is sat alongside Flip. Punishment grabs Flip and floors him with a kick to the head. He looks down at Flip and says "Welcome to Ring of Honor!" and laughs.

The Bucks are at another airport where they are waiting for their delayed connection as a high pitched alarm rings in the background. Cut to "Last week in North Carolina..." Marty Scurll greets Adam Page and Matt in a hotel room and asks if they want to go outside. Matt refuses as it is raining but wonders if Marty has his umbrella with him. Marty says they have all sold out like all his merchandise, so they are stuck inside with nothing to do. Page jumps up and grabs his noose prop and says "Lets play hangman!" and stares at Marty who looks worried. Page says he's kidding and pulls out some paper with the word game on it and the others agree to play. A montage of the group playing the game follows. Marty guesses "Superkick party" as the bucks kick him in unison. Matt guesses "Where do you think you're going?" as they all celebrate. They are stuck on their final game. Page holds up the sheet where "Fuck The Revival!" is missing some letters. Marty wonders if it is "Forever The Revival" but Matt says that is stupid and doesn't make sense - you could never put that on a t-shirt. Cut to a picture of The Revival with that phrase on the back as everyone laughs. Matt and Marty give up and say they need help. Cody burst in but can barely speak, he is wide eyed and panicking. Cut to the Bucks made *YoungBucksMerch.com* advert.

Matt and Nick are in Montreal for their show and Nick says it is not often these days that they visit somewhere for the first time. As Matt shows off a new t-shirt, Kevin Owens walks past in the background on his phone. Later Matt and Nick are looking round Montreal and drinking coffee. As they talk to the camera Sami Zayne walks up behind they and asks for the time. Matt replies without turning round to look at him.

Before their show Matt and Nick are setting up their merchandise stand and show off some new t-shirts before footage of their match follows. Later they are outside the venue and Matt says they had fun, but Nick says the only disappointment was that they didn't run into any of their friends who were in the same city. As Nick says this the camera pans over his shoulder where AJ Styles is leaning against the wall.

Matt and Nick are in their car heading home. Matt says that is the end of the episode but Nick says they need to address what they showed at the beginning. Matt wants to forget last week happened but Nick says they have to show it and tells himself to roll the footage.

Cut to a hotel room where Cody is telling his "That's a nice ski mask!" story to Matt, Nick and Marty as Brandi Rhodes checks her phone behind them. Cody asks Brandi who she is texting and she replies it is Kenny Omega as he had asked her to keep in touch about *Women of Honor*. Cody's phone rings and he asks who is calling him. He starts arguing with the person on the phone before hanging up. The group ask Cody what is going on and Cody replies "That was a WWE stooge!" Cody says they just got a cease and desist notice and apparently they can no longer say "Fuck The Revival!", as the words are beeped out when he is speaking. The rest of the group look shocked as the episode ends.

## Notes

* The WWE stooge is another storyline that mixed real life events with Kafabe stories. The WWE had threatened leagal action over the group using copyrighted names and phrases in Being The Elite, to which the cast decided to weave it into the show.
* This is the first time Cody is shown using his listening super-power as he overhears Flip Gordon's conversation from across the building.
* Owens, Zayne and Styles were all WWE wrestlers appearing in a show in Montreal on the same night as The Young Bucks were performing. All three are friends of Matt and Nick after they're time together in other promotions. None of the cameos were contractually allowed to appear in the show.
* Brandi Rhodes' texts to Kenny Omega were another subtle trigger to what would eventually become the Cody v Kenny civil war storyline.
