"Hey, Alexa. Can I talk to you for a minute?"

Surprised to hear Clementine's request, Alexa turned around to find her tag team partner hurrying after her along the hallway. Alexa felt on the defensive immediately, wondering why whatever Clem had to say couldn't have been said before she had left the locker room to go to catering. She assumed there was something bad coming her way.

"Uh, sure, Clem," she replied hesitantly. "Everything okay?"

"Everything's great, that's why I wanted to have a quick word with you in private," Clem said as she ushered Alexa over to the side of the hallway.

"Okay," Alexa said, encouraging her to go on.

"I wanted to say thank you for how well you've played your part in making the early days of Blissentine go so well. It was important to me to be a part of a tag team that would make a big difference to the division. You've absolutely smashed it. The fans love us. And tonight we're going out there to perform in front of my home crowd. It's going to be an amazing night for me, and part of that is down to you. So, yeah, thank you."

Alexa bit her bottom lip, utterly humbled by the kind words. "Thank you, Clem. That means so much to me. I thought you were coming to say you'd asked Vince to end the team or something."

"Girl, you need more self confidence," Clem said. "You've been slept on for a long time, but the genie is out of the bottle now. You have shown them exactly what Alexa Bliss can do. Your promos especially are lit. I'm hoping Blissentine is a team that stays together for a very long time. I'm talking New Day long. I think that between us we can come up with enough ideas to keep it fresh."

"I'm with you on that. Honestly, I'm having the time of my life. I could have quit WWE not long back, but now I'm on cloud nine because of this opportunity and this team. So you don't have to thank me, I'm thanking you."

Clem put an arm around her and they exchanged a friendly hug. "Then we're thanking each other. Tonight, we show them the proper Blissentine for the first time."

"Even if you don't let them use the name," Alexa said.

Both laughing, they started walking together in the direction of catering.

Waiting behind the curtain for a commercial break to end, Alexa had never felt so alive. All of her senses were operating at their fullest. The hairs on the back of her neck were standing on end. There was an electric atmosphere out in the arena, and it was having a profound effect on her.

The reason the fans were buzzing was that Clementine had just been shown walking along a hallway backstage with a 'Next' graphic in the corner of the screen. Her hometown crowd were ready to blow the roof off the arena.

When the show went live again and Clem's music immediately hit, Alexa was stunned by the roar that filled the arena. She had never heard anything like it in her life.

"Oh my," Clem breathed. Only Alexa was standing close enough to hear her. She reached out and gave her partner's arm a little squeeze before Clem led the way through the curtain.

For this special occasion, Clementine had two surprises for her fans. Firstly, she emerged into the arena wearing an Atlanta Falcons jersey over her ring attire. Secondly, she had Alexa right behind her.

Walking into the wall of noise, Alexa had no idea how much of the reaction was for her or the fact that Blissentine were entering together for the first time. She decided to simply enjoy it, figuring that any career in wrestling wouldn't have many moments like this no matter how successful it was.

Mike Rome started his ring announcement. "This contest is set for one fall, and it is for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, the team of Alexa Bliss and Clementine, Blissentine!"

Alexa had to supress a laugh. She had not been told that the name was going to start being used officially. In character, Clem would not be best pleased about it.

When she entered the ring just behind her partner, Alexa saw that Clem was heading over to the corner of the ring to get a microphone. She was given the leeway to cut short unscripted promos before her matches if she chose to. Perhaps unsurprisingly, in front of her home crowd was going to be one such occasion.

Clem's music faded out once she had the microphone in hand. The fans were already chanting 'Clem!' over the music anyway.

Alexa stood in the corner, warming up and giving her partner centre stage.

"I've travelled to more countries, wrested in more cities that I can count with WWE, but there's no place like home."

Another roar filled the arena, then a 'Welcome home!' chant broke out. Watching on, Alexa had no idea how Clem kept a straight face, barely even responding to the outpouring of support.

"And tonight," Clem said when the chant started to die down, "Nikki Bella decided to give me a welcome home gift in the form of a chance to give an ass kicking to the two most annoying bitches WWE has ever seen."

Yes another cheer filled the arena. Alexa nodded in agreement with what Clem had said just in case she happened to be on camera.

"So, IIconics, walk down here and spout your usual crap," Clem said. "While you're doing it, enjoy carrying those title belts, because it's the last time you're going to do it."

Clementine tossed the microphone out of the ring, bringing the promo to an end. Boos rained down when the IIconic's theme music began to play.

To further play up to Clementine's status as the hometown favourite it was Alexa who had ended up being isolated in the ring by Billie and Peyton. They had spent more than five minutes giving her a comprehensive beating, but she had refused to stay down.

Frustration began to build for the Australian team at their inability to close out the match. Ultimately, that frustration proved to be their downfall. After getting a close near fall, Billie lost her temper with the referee, chasing him across the ring and raging about the speed of his count.

Alexa started crawling towards her corner, where Clem was waiting with her hand outstretched, begging for a tag and a chance to get her hands on the opponents.

Turning around, Billie saw what was about to happen. She rushed over and grabbed Alexa's left foot, stopping her from crawling any further.

Forced to get up and stand on one leg, Alexa looked set for a fairly common spot that would have seen her deliver an enziguri to Billie. But she didn't. Instead of attacking, Alexa pushed herself up as hard as she could with her free leg, jumping into a backflip. As she flew through the air she stretched out her arm and Clem was able to tag it.

The crowd erupted as Clementine charged into the ring. Billie was standing there like a rabbit caught in the headlights. She let out a comedic scream before Clem blasted her with a clothesline and took her off her feet.

Peyton had rushed into the ring as soon as Alexa tagged out. Clem caught her rushing in and used her momentum against her to deliver a powerslam.

Billie got back up and ran at Clem, only for Clem to step aside and fling her over the top rope.

With the fans cheering her on, Clem eyed up Billie on the outside. Sprinting across the ring, she hit the ropes, ran back in the other direction and launched herself through the ropes, taking out Billie with a suicide dive.

Wasting no time or energy on showboating, Clem quickly picked Billie up and bundled her back into the ring. Climbing back in herself, she made a cover.

"One!"

"Two!"

Peyton arrived in time to jump on top of Clem and break up the pin.

Clem got up and began exchanging right hands with Peyton, soon getting the upper hand and forcing the Australian back into a corner of the ring.

Taking Peyton's arm, Clem whipped her across the ring as hard as she could, sending her crashing hard into the turnbuckles.

Holding her back in pain, Peyton staggered out of the corner. Clem was already leaping into the air, and was able to deliver a Diamond in the Rough, bringing the fans to their feet.

Billie was back in the ring. As Clem got up after delivering her finisher, Billie blasted her in the face with a Big Boot and made a cover.

"One!"

"Two!"

Clementine kicked out.

"Come on!" Billie screamed at the referee in despair. Looking unsure what to do next since her finisher hadn't worked, she picked Clem up and whipped her into the ropes.

It was at that moment that Alexa got back up onto the apron. She was able to reach Clem and slap her back, tagging herself back in.

Billie went for another Big Boot, but this time Clem was able to duck it. In the same fluid motion, she caught Billie as she spun around and hit another Diamond in the Rough. The fans went off again, but the match wasn't over.

After making her tag, Alexa had climbed up to the top rope. Clem spotted her and realised what she had in mind. To assist, she dragged Billie closer to the corner.

Now the crowd were cheering Alexa on, sensing that she was about to put an end to the IIconics once and for all. Standing on the top rope, she raised her hands and closed her fingers to form fists. With that, she leapt through the air and hit Twisted Bliss. As the legal member of the team, it was on her to make the cover.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

One more roar of approval greeted the victory. Blissentine were two time tag team champions.

Although they were now entering together and working more smoothly as a team, celebrating with Alexa was apparently still beyond Clem's limits. She snatched the two titles belts from the time keeper as he offered them through the ropes. She threw one at Alexa before climbing to the middle turnbuckle to celebrate.

Alexa raised her own title belt, revelling in the moment. She was a champion again, and this time she wasn't going to be losing it after a couple of weeks. She recalled a conversation she and Clem had had with Paul Heyman earlier that day. "This is going to be a long run now that you'll be done with Billie and Peyton," he had said. "The two of you are going to be the faces of the division, on Raw, Smackdown, NXT, everywhere. Blissentine are where we want those titles to be. Make them mean something."

I will make them mean something, Alexa thought, determined that this victory in Atlanta was going to be only the start of Blissentine's story. She had visions of them one day entering the WWE Hall of Fame as a team. Sure, it was a lofty ambition, but what was there in life if you couldn't dream big?
