Discussed last night in the NXT thread, now I'm inspired to write this. I even have outlines for the first four episodes. So, consider this a "Coming Very Soon" thing.

First scene is written. It made me laugh way harder than it probably should have.

Baron Corbin is begging for cash. He gets the shit kicked out of him on NXT Underground only to find out the fighters are being paid in exposure.

Ok, I wasn't planning to use Corbin, or anyone currently on the main roster, but I may have to reconsider lol mainly because I have some horrible (read: amazing) ideas for characters that I want to see him interact with.

We open with a black screen. We can hear voices talking.
??: "Are you sure about this? I know the recent firings were tough for you, but do you think we can just start from scratch?"
??: "I don't see any other way, Steph. Your dad is never going to let NXT thrive like it did a few years ago. It's all about the bottom line with him."
Stephanie: "Well, without the bottom line, everything would bottom out. And you know what that means, don't you? We'd be left with nothing. No NXT. No WWE. Nothing. So I'll ask you one more time, then never again. Are you sure about this?"
Triple H: Yes. We have to do this Steph. The future of NXT depends on this."
Stephanie: *sigh* "Fine. Okay kids, we're leaving!"
We fade in on a giant bus, parked in front of the Capital Wrestling Center, where Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are standing. The doors to the CWC open as the entire NXT roster comes running out, carrying luggage.
Austin Theory: "I call shotgun!"
Zoey Starks: "I wanna sit with Io!"
Dexter Lumis: "..."
Triple H: "I packed barf bags, just in case."
Dexter stares blankly, then gets on the bus.
Triple H and Stephanie get in the front, with Triple H driving.
Stephanie: "So, where are we going?"
Triple H: "Somewhere where nobody can hold us back."
Triple H starts driving.
Roderick Strong: "Are we there yet?!"
Triple H: "No."
Robert Stone: "I'm hungry!"
Stephanie: "I packed snacks! Let me get them."
Jessie Kamea: "I have to pee!"
Triple H: "I told you to go before we left!"
Jessie: "I didn't have to then!"
Triple H: "Can you hold it?"
Jessie: *bouncing in her seat and holding herself* "No!"
Triple H: *through gritted teeth* Fine.
The bus stops. They've barely made it down the street. Jessie bolts off the bus and runs back to the CWC.
Stephanie: "I found the snacks!"
Stephanie hands a Ziploc bag back to Stone.
Stone: "Apple slices? Ew!"
Stephanie: "They're good for you."
Jessie returns.
Jessie: "Got my iPod!"
Triple H: "I thought you had to pee!"
Jessie: "Oh yeah!"
Jessie runs off the bus again.
Triple H: *sigh* Does anyone else have to go to the bathroom?"
Everyone raises their hands, including Stephanie. Triple H just looks at her.
Stephanie: *sheepishly* Sorry.
Everyone gets off the bus, while Triple H facepalm's.
We fade to black, as the NXT logo comes onscreen, with an "UNDERGROUND" subtitle appearing below.
------------------------------------------------------------
The NXT bus is driving down the street. Eventually, they pass a sign that reads "WELCOME TO BOYLE HEIGHTS"
Stephanie: "Boyle Heights? Why here?"
Triple H: "There was this guy named Dario, who operated an underground fighting league here. But the building they used has been abandoned for about five years. And the guy is dead. Got shot, I think. So I figured, maybe we could run NXT from that place."
Stephanie: "You want to run NXT out of some sweatbox fight club where someone got shot?"
Triple H: "I mean, I know the shooting part doesn't exactly sound appealing. But other than that, I'm sure it's perfectly safe. Trust me."
Stephanie: "Fine."
Triple H: "Good. Because we're here."
The bus parks in front of a derelict warehouse.
Stephanie: "...this is where you want to run NXT?"
Triple H: "Look, I know it doesn't look like much, but this could be the new CWC. The NCWC, I guess."
Kyle O'Reilly: "The Temple."
Triple H: "Yeah, I guess it would sort of be a wrestling temple."
Stephanie: "The sign. It calls this place The Temple."
Triple H looks up and sees the sign.
"THE TEMPLE - ALL ARE WELCOME"
Triple H: "Well... Looks like NXT has a new home."
Dakota Kai: "Looks kinda weird."
Triple H: "Let's at least check out. You guys wait here, Steph, William and I will take a look inside."
Triple H, Stephanie and William Regal walk up to the entrance. Triple H pushes open the big sliding door. Inside, they find a long hallway leading to a stairwell, which leads into the "arena". A ring sits in the middle, gathering dust.
Triple H: "So, it's a bit of a fixer-upper."
William Regal: "Looks like it's been fixed up a few times over."
Regal points at a door adjacent to the arena entrance, which looks like it's seen better days. The window is heavily taped and bloodstains can be seen on the outer walls. Looking around, Stephanie and Regal seem hesitant, but Triple H smiles. I think we found our new home!"
------------------------------------------------------------
TWO MONTHS LATER...
NXT Underground - Episode 1
Vic Joseph: "Welcome to the all-new NXT! I'm Vic Joseph, joined by Beth Phoenix and Wade Barrett."
Beth Phoenix: "We are broadcasting LIVE from our new home here in Boyle Heights, affectionately known as the NXT TEMPLE. Here, we are ready to put on what will be the first of hopefully many exciting shows!"
Wade Barrett: "That's right. Tonight, we have women's tag team action on tap, as Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter take on Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne for a shot at the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship!"
Vic: "Boa, accompanied by Tian Sha, will be in action as well, taking on Joe Gacy."
Beth: "And in our main event, Kyle O'Reilly battles Santos Escobar in a match that William Regal says will have NXT Championship implications."
Vic: "It's a huge night here on NXT!"
------------------------------------------------------------
In an undisclosed location somewhere in the Temple, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne and Mandy Rose are gathered around a cauldron. Gigi and Jacy are dressed in all black, including pointy hats and even have black lipstick on. Jacy is stirring the pot, as Gigi drops in various items, chanting indecipherably. Some of the things we see go in are a cup of green liquid, a dead rat and a box full of strange brown fragments. Mandy, wearing a white dress, looks uncomfortable, questioning why they're focusing on this when they have a match. Jacy stops stirring and glares at Mandy. After a brief speech about the persecution of witches in the 17th century, Gigi recites an incantation, which causes the cauldron to erupt. Mandy gags and retches, while Gigi and Jacy cackle as they start filling a pair of bottles with the noxious green liquid.
------------------------------------------------------------
Our opening contest is Joe Gacy vs. Boa w/ Tian Sha. Boa is victorious thanks to Xia Li's interference. But the story comes after the match, as Gacy sits on the mat, stewing as Tian Sha leave. The ref tells Gacy he has to leave the ring, which he does. But as he walks up the ramp, he stops, turns and clobbers the ref with stiff forearm! The ref falls back as Gacy tears into him - literally - biting his forehead! The ref screams as officials are out to stop Gacy. Gacy swings at the other refs, but then security comes out and they manage to subdue him. Gacy is hauled away in handcuffs, blood dripping from his mouth, a sick smile adorning his face....
------------------------------------------------------------
Backstage, Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter are preparing for their match. Both women are drinking from thermoses as they work out. We then pan outside the room, where Gigi and Jacy look on, evil grins on their faces...
Elsewhere, we get a tender scene of Dexter Lumis and Indi Hartwell registering for wedding presents. As Indi talks up her man at each location, he remains silent, yet each clerk is taken by how much he loves Indi.
During a prematch interview with McKenzie Mitchell, Kacy and Kayden seem off their game. Both appear sluggish and slow. Kacy comments that she feels rigid and heavy, while Kayden complains of leg cramps...
------------------------------------------------------------
Up next, it's time for the number one contenders match for the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship, as Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin take on Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter. Kacy and Kayden are not themselves as they enter. Kayden looks as if she's suffering from arthritis, while Kacy moves as if she's underwater, or covered in cement. Jacy smiles as Gigi continues to speak in tongues. As she does, Kacy's movements get more jerky and stiff, while Kayden becomes unable to stand due to the pain in her legs. Eventually, Kacy stops moving altogether, as if frozen in time. This allows Jacy and Gigi to corner the incapacitated Kayden, who has no other choice than to submit. Jacy and Gigi celebrate with Mandy, leaving the immobilized Kacy and a crying Kayden in the ring...
------------------------------------------------------------
Backstage, Pete Dunne, Ridge Holland and Oney Lorcan talk about Dunne facing Kushida next week. Here, it's revealed that the winners of the next four weeks' main events will face off in a Fatal 4-Way, with winner challenging Samoa Joe at the next Takeover.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, in the main event, Santos Escobar takes on Kyle O'Reilly. O'Reilly has been on a role as of late, including vanquishing Adam Cole from NXT once and for all. Meanwhile, Escobar recently came up short in his attempt to take the North American Championship from Isaiah"Swerve" Scott. However, tonight sees a reversal of fortunes, thanks to a mystery attacker, who blindside's O'Reilly on the outside. Escobar picks up the win, qualifying for the 4-Way, while commentary speculates on the identity of the masked assailant...
------------------------------------------------------------
Our final scene is in Triple H and Stephanie's office. Stephanie questions the actions of some the wrestlers tonight, such as Joe Gacy and Gigi and Jacy. She inquires about the masked man, but Triple H plays dumb. As the show ends, he mutters about NXT being the home of "Unique Opportunities"...

The thought of HHH and Stephanie even stepping into Boyle Heights let alone taking their expensive ass bus makes me laugh so hard lol because the wheels would get stolen from that bus as they were driving because people in Boyle Heights don't wait to grab the nice things when they come around....like all the cars that were broken into and stolen during LU tapings. I hope the amazing famous taco truck makes an appearance...maybe Gargano shows up and makes Austin Theory start earning some money for the family and he works in the taco truck lol. I am sure we will learn Dexter Lumis has real estate in Boyle Heights. Franky back in Boyle Heights...uh oh lol Hope Santos gets the feeling back in his bones and gets his cowboy hat out for old times sake to the confusion of everyone.

As a heads up, the shows from here on out will probably be shorter, since I won't normally be doing long dialogue scenes like the opening segments of the first show. Those were necessary for the setup. I also hate writing matches, so don't expect too much along those lines. What I do enjoy and am (at least imo) good at is telling a story. As we get more into the series, I will hopefully find it easier to do longer write-ups of everything, but as I go along, I'm still figuring things out, as far as how I want to pace things. I say this because episode 1 was about five pages, episode 2 is likely going to be two and half, at most.
EDIT: Episode 2 will be up tomorrow. I'm writing it now, but I'm running on fumes lol I need to get some sleep and then I can focus more clearly on finishing it.

NXT Underground Episode 2
Previously…
We see footage from last week’s episode, including the masked man who attacked Kyle O’Reilly and the Women’s Tag Team Championship Number One Contenders Match. Tonight, we will see Pete Dunne battle Kushida for the second spot in the Number One Contenders 4-Way Match. As well, Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher will battle Ashante Thee Adonis and Top Dolla of Hit Row...
Our opening contest tonight is the aforementioned tag team contest. Adonis and Top Dolla are accompanied by Isaiah “Swerve” Scott and B-Fab. Back and forth tag team action kicks off the night here, with Hit Row showing why they’re a force to be reckoned with across all of NXT. But Ciampa and Thatcher, as the veteran team, are far from being pushovers. And in fact, it’s the experience factor that helps them eke out a win, when Top Dolla accidentally covers the illegal man, Thatcher, allowing Ciampa to slip in and hit a Project Ciampa to score the win.
But after the match, as Hit Row are licking their wounds, the group is jumped by Sam Stoker and Lewis Howley, collectively known as Pretty Deadly, the NXT UK Tag Team Champions! Joining them are Rampage Brown, Nina Samuels and Drake Maverick, who appears to be the one directing traffic. The five beat down Hit Row, then Maverick swipes the North American Championship as they exit…
------------------------------------------------------------
Vic Joseph: “Last week, Kayden Carter and Kacy Catanzaro were the victims of… some sort of ailment. Some say witchcraft, others say stage fright. All we really know is that the match in a victory for Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin, who will now receive a future NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship match.”
Beth Phoenix: “As for Kacy and Kayden, we have a video sent in by the two...”
-----------------------------------------------------------
We cut to a location outside the temple, where Kacy and Kayden, still looking shaken after what happened last week, speak about the circumstances behind their loss. Kacy describes her experience as being stuck in cement. She was aware of everything, but as the match wore on, her ability to move became more and more inhibited. Kayden says it was the same for her, but specifically her legs, which became useless. While neither is sure exactly what happened, both note that they felt fine before drinking “that weird green stuff”…
Elsewhere, Kushida is walking down the hall of the NXT TEMPLE. He reaches a door and opens it. When he does, he’s engulfed in a flash of light. Upon regaining his vision, he sees the temple is now littered in rubble and looking even worse for wear than it already did. Exploring, he discovers multiple skeletons laying amid the remains of the building. Suddenly, another flash occurs and the building appears to be fine. Kushida shakes his head, as if trying to shrug off what he saw, then walks away to prepare for his match...
------------------------------------------------------------
Up next, we have Carmelo Hayes making his way to the ring. Hayes takes on Andre Chase in singles action. After a hard-fought win, Hayes is celebrating, only for NXT GM William Regal to walk out. Regal explains that Triple H has a vision for the new NXT and as a result, he has asked Regal to offer Hayes a "unique opportunity". Regal informs Hayes that if he can win a match right now, he will receive a title match next week. Hayes nods, accepting the challenge. Regal smiles, then introduces his opponent...
The masked man who attacked Kyle O'Reilly last week suddenly comes through the crowd and beats Hayes down! After a savage beating, Hayes can't stand. Regal feigns disappointment as he announces Hayes is in no condition to compete...
------------------------------------------------------------
Indi Hartwell and Dexter Lumis are meeting with a wedding hall owner about planning their reception. When the owner asks if they have any questions or suggestions. Dexter stares at the owner, who's eyes light up, telling him that's a brilliant idea.
Backstage, Kushida is lacing up his boots when there's another flash like before. Suddenly, Kushida is in the ring, where Pete Dunne hits the Bitter End, 1-2-3. Another flash and he's back to tying his boots. He looks confused at these strange occurrences, as he prepares for his match...
------------------------------------------------------------
Backstage, Io Shirai is watching last week's tag team match on a monitor. Zoey Starks enters, asking Io if she's spooked by Gigi and Jacy. Io gravely admits that she does believe in the occult, which causes Zoey to laugh so hard, snot comes out of her nose. She teases Io about believing in "ghosts and ghouls", while claiming no fear of "those fake bitches in black nighties"...
We cut to a hype package for Imperium. Next week, WALTER takes on Dexter Lumis in the third 4-Way qualifier.
------------------------------------------------------------
It's main event time, as Pete Dunne takes on Kushida for the second spot in the Number One Contenders 4-Way. Kushida looks more wary than normal as he enters. Late in the match, Dunne goes for the Bitter End, but Kushida apparently has it scouted, as he twists out of it and transitions into the Hoverboard Lock, forcing Dunne to tap out. Kushida smiles, as he will now join Santos Escobar in the Number One Contenders match in a few weeks...
------------------------------------------------------------
Our final scene shows the masked man sitting in Triple H's office. Triple H congratulates him on a job well done. "But our work is just beginning... This places changes people..."
TO BE CONTINUED...

Very interesting...Kushida is going crazy...Zoey walking deaths row by talking about "bitches in black" likely not the obvious I am thinking of lol. And the masked individual...idk something about him feels familiar someone like they are uniquely oppurtunistic.
