One...

[loud cheers]

[crowd chanting] Leo! Leo! Leo! Leo!

[woman] Leo. Leo. Leo?

[crowd chanting fades]

[woman] Leo! Leo!

[Leo groans]

Five more minutes.

[sighing] No, you're gonna be late.

[grunts]

All right.

Ankle lock.

I read that this is how Xavier Woods
gets Kofi out of bed before a big match.

[laughing] You did not read that, Grandma.

I did, I read it.

Ah! Okay, okay! I'm up, I'm up, I'm up.

-Come on, get up.
-[knocking on door]

-All right, kiddo. Time to wake up.
-I'm up, Dad.

He's already up.

[Denise] And when you get home
from school, clean that room.

It's chaos in there, kid.

[yawning]

Thank you. Any chance
you made breakfast, Denise?

[jaunty instrumental music playing]

[sighs]

[Denise] All right! It's Monday morning!

So, are you ready?

You know what they say,

"Monday is one step closer to Friday."

I read that on Instagram.

-You're on Instagram?
-Yeah! I've got 300 followers.

Your grandma's about to be an influencer.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Nice choice of t-shirt.

Hi, Kofi. How're you doing?

Can you do me a favor

-and not flirt with my t-shirts?
-I will second that.

All right, all right.
I'm working on myself.

-So, are we gonna watch Raw tonight?
-You know it.

Okay. Well, in that case,
I will see you later.

Sounds good.

-I was talking to Kofi.
-You're gross.

All right, I love you.
Have a good day at school.

[Leo] Bye, Dad. Bye, Grandma.

-How late were you driving that Lyft?
-Mmm.

Really late.

The good news is, though,

that now I get to go to my second job.

[sighs] Steve, it seems like
you're burning the candle at both ends.

You look tired.

I am tired. I'm exhausted.

But I gotta do what I gotta do.

And I can fix cars in my sleep.

Well, don't work
on anybody's brakes today.

[jaunty instrumental music playing]

[Riyaz] Hey, you guys
see WWE's feed this morning?

What do you guys think
the announcement is gonna be?

Personally, I hope it's something to do
with them looking for a new director.

Here we go.

Look, I'm just saying. There has to be
a director back there,

calling out the camera angles, the shots.

Yes, there is. His name is Vince McMahon.

Well, I think Mr. McMahon
would love my ideas.

For example, what about a match
filmed entirely by drones?

Drones. Always with the drones.

Look, I'm just passionate about my craft.
You're not passionate about anything.

I'm passionate about plenty of things.

Snorkeling, slam poetry,

wondering if Ariana Grande ever thinks
her high ponytail is a little too high.

[sighs]

Speaking of announcements,
you gonna do it?

-What, the talent show?
-No.

Wrestling.

You love it more than any of us.

No. I love WWE more than any of us.

Different story.

Also, look at me.

-Yeah, I agree.
-Good point.

You'll get trampled.

Of course, little Leo won't sign up
for the wrestling team.

Yeah. Of course, little Leo won't sign up
for the wrestling team.

I, however, I'm all over this. Mason...

pen me.

[Trevor] Book bomb! [laughs]

-Whoa!
-Come on.

Aw. Look at this.

Does our little Leo
want to be a WWE Superstar?

[laughing]

Give that back. Come on.

[grunts]

One, two, three.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!

Wow. Trevor, Mason, and Luke.

Giving people a hard time. How shocking.

Principal's office, now.

Here you go, nerd.

[indistinct chatter]

Gentlemen, Raw tonight.

New Day versus The Usos.

New Day's winning, no question.

"No question"?

But it's The Usos.

It doesn't matter.
I'm picking New Day every time.

Kofi Kingston is amazing.

Trouble in Paradise is the best
finishing move on the planet.

[Caleb] I'm sorry, but that's crazy talk.

What about Ricochet's 630 Splash?

[Riyaz] What about AJ Styles'
Phenomenal Forearm?

[Caleb] Earth to Leo. Hello?

[fork clatters]

[sighing] Great. Just great.

Yeah, today is not your day.

Look who it is.

Okay, seriously?

-Hey!
-Oh, hi.

Hey, hey!

[chuckling]

You three need a hobby or something.

[Trevor] Uh, look, Miss Cartwright.

Don't worry, everything's cool.

Uh, Leo was just educating us
on the proper way to eat

-spaghetti.
-Spaghetti.

Yeah. Isn't that right, big guy?

Well, uh... guess we better head home.

-Yeah. Better get going.
-Yeah, yeah.

-Lots of homework to do.
-Yeah. Straight A's.

-All right.
-Bye!

I fear for our future.

[thrilling music playing]

[Trevor] We're gonna get you, Thompson!

[tires skidding]

-[Mason] Go, go!
-Okay!

[man] Hey, hey! No kids allowed
without parents!

Whoa.

[Trevor] Come on! Get him!

[panting]

Ah!

[sighs in relief]

[tense music playing]

[door banging]

[laughs]

You hear that?

[man] Excuse me.

This area is off-limits.

Oh, sorry, sir. We were just admiring
the beautiful doors.

Great doors.

[man] I'm sure you were.

I need you to leave now.

[sighs]

Whoa.

Ugh, it stinks.

Hey!

Are you with those other delinquents?

No, I was just...

They were chasing me.

Oh.

I see.

Well, they're gone now.

And what do you have there?

I found this really cool wrestling mask
in this weird secret compartment.

[man] Oh.

Do you know whose it was?

No.

[sniffs] Ooh!

It certainly smells authentic.

-It sure does.
-[man] Hmm.

Do you want it?

Because if you don't,
I'll have to burn it.

Thank you! Wow.

[chuckles]

What about that Ric Flair robe?

Don't push your luck, kid.

And don't tell anybody about the mask.
You'll get me into trouble.

[chuckling]

[Denise] Oh, Denise, you look good.

Okay.

-Ah!
-[camera clicks]

Yeah, there's the money shot.

All right.

#outfitoftheday,

#vintagestoreowner,

and #blessed.

Post.

Grandma's about to be an influencer, baby.

How was your day, Kid Chaos?

Um, the usual.

Uh-oh. Was it Trevor?

You just let me know.
I'll come up to that school

and open up a can of you-know-what, okay?

Stone Cold Steve Austin-style.

[yelling, grunting]

[snarling]

Your granny got hands. [laughs]

No, I'm good.

You sure?

'Cause you know
I'll do anything for you, babe.

What is that smell?

Uh... what smell?

I don't smell smell.

I smell something. It doesn't smell right.
Is that you?

I don't smell.

You know, I sell clothes that people
have literally died in.

I know that smell.

-Did you shower today?
-Yes.

-It's not me.
-Ugh. [sniffing]

I smell something.

Well, it ain't me!

[commentator] An absolutely unbelievable,
unforgettable match.

[Leo] Ooh, get him, Kofi.

[Denise] Ooh! Am I missing it?

Oh! Yes!

You go, Big E!

[commentator]
Another shot to the midsection.

Ooh, don't let him hurt that big,
beautiful, sexy body.

Whoo!

You're so weird.

What?

-[indistinct chanting on TV]
-[bell ringing]

Ooh!

Come on! Get up, Big E!

I wish I could be as strong as Kofi.

Everything would be so much better.

No.

Believe me, kiddo.
Life isn't all about being strong.

Well, not physically, at least.

Gotta be strong mentally,

and emotionally.

Trust me, that's what matters.

Mom says that all the time.

Or she did. At least, when she was here.

Listen, your mom was right.

And just because she's not here
does not mean that she doesn't love you.

Never forget that, all right?

Give me some.

And hey, Big E! You never forget
that Grandma is here,

willing and ready
and waiting for you, baby.

You are so fine!

Grandma, seriously, please.

What? He's cute.

Hey, you guys. Sorry I'm late.

The garage was a mess today.

Denise.

Stephen.

Oh, look, Dad. It's the best part.

Oh, yeah. This is where Big E
makes his pecs bounce.

Up and down, up and down.
Oh, my God, it drives me wild.

Go, Big E! Whoo! Yes!

For the record, we have different opinions
on what the best part is.

Dad, remember when you said
every wrestler has a weakness?

I guess I did say that, yeah.

Well, I think Jimmy Usos' is his temper.

[Leo] Oh! See? Look!

He ran straight into Kofi.
He wasn't thinking straight.

-Yeah, that is very cool, man.
-[laughs]

Very cool.

[bell ringing on TV]

Ooh. Look. They're about to make
a big announcement.

WWE Universe, I'm the A-Lister.

The most must-see
WWE Superstar in history, The Miz,

and the time has finally come.

You have a once-in-a-lifetime chance
to become the next NXT Superstar.

So if you think you have what it takes,

get your butt down to Fallbridge.

Uh... I'm sorry, hang on. Fallbridge?

Yes, Fallbridge.

Fallbridge?

That's right. Fallbridge.

The WWE is hosting
a winner-take-all tournament,

where two finalists will square off
inside a steel cage.

The winner will receive
not only an NXT contract,

but a $50,000 cash prize.

So don't Miz out

on this awesome opportunity.

The WWE is coming right here
to Fallbridge?

-What? Yeah, baby!
-Yeah!

Whoo! [laughs]

Hey...

Where is my bread?

It was stale. I threw it out.

Oh! Becky Lynch. Yes!

[Denise grunts]

Dad, remember that time we went to Raw,
and Mom met Becky Lynch after the show?

Yes, I do remember that.

That was a very fun time for your mother.

You know what? It's fine.

I have like two or three
emergency sandwiches

hidden in the kitchen somewhere.

[announcer] It's a major tag-team match,
and it's up next live on Monday Night Raw.

[Denise] You can't keep doing that.

You change the topic every time
he brings up his mother,

or run out to the garage
and work on that car.

Well, what happened with Rachel
is a sensitive subject,

and I'm just not quite sure
how to broach it.

[Denise] How would you know that?

You avoid talking to him.

[Steve] To my credit,
I only avoid talking to him

about his mother leaving him.

[Denise] Steve, Rachel leaving
was a surprise to all of us.

-[Steve groans]
-[Denise] You gotta unpack this.

[Steve] Can we talk about anything else?
Please?

I mean, there are 1,000 things
that I would rather do,

than talk about my wife leaving me
for someone else,

with her mother.

You know, it may not mean much,
but I, um...

adjusted my schedule
just to take a few weeks off

to come here and try
to help you through this.

And I appreciate that.

Look, as soon as I can pay down the bank,

I will stop driving Lyft.

I will go from two jobs to one job,

and I will find
some semblance of normalcy.

Whatever that looks like now.

But I still owe the bank like $20,000.

If I don't pay it soon, I...

I might lose the house.

[Denise] I told you. I'll take out
a second mortgage on the store.

[Steve] No. Come on, I can't.
This is my mess. I'll clean it up.

What the...

Ugh. It's getting worse.

Huh.

[sniffs]

[groans]

[exhales]

[inhales deeply]

[deeper voice] Ooh. Fits perfect.

Although, it's almost a crime
to hide this studly face from the world.

Sorry, ladies.

[regular voice] What was that?

[deep-voiced]
That was just you being you, big man.

You're a limousine-riding,
jet-flying cool dude

with a larger-than-life personality.

[regular voice] I wet the bed
until I was eight.

[deep-voiced]
I wet the bed until I was eight.

[regular voice] Why did that
sound so much cooler?

[deep-voiced]
Are you ready to face the man of the hour?

The man with the power,
the guy who's too sweet to be sour? Ooh!

What a rush!

[loud thud]

Oh, no, no, no!

What?

[creaking]

[inspirational music playing]

[grunting]

Shoot! My favorite shirt.

I've been all around the world
rocking rings across the globe,

and I have never seen
a sorrier sight than you.

What's that?

Bring it? [chuckles]

Oh, your boy's about to.

[grunts]

[dogs barking]

[intense hip-hop instrumental playing]

[inhales deeply]

"Legend has it that this mask's
mystical powers

only work for competitors
who are truly deserving of its magic.

The mask itself decides who is worthy.

The mask was last seen 50 years ago."

Whoa.

[Trevor] Your little buddy Leo
ran away from us.

So now, we're gonna have to take out
our frustrations on you two.

[both grunting]

Guys, just relax.

[Trevor] I'm gonna break your face, nerd.

[Riyaz] I prefer the term
"intellectually advanced person."

Trevor, seriously. Not cool.

[Riyaz] Guys, somebody!

Yeah, Trevor. Not cool.

I think you should leave them alone.

All right. Fine.

I'll leave them alone.

You, however, are a different story.

[kids chattering]

[Luke] Whoa!

-Hey!
-Wait, no!

[whimpering]

[laughter]

[laughing]

Trevor, Mason, and Luke.

Principal's office, now.

What?

But we're the ones
hanging by our underwear.

Uh...

Leo? Principal's office. Now.

Uh, which way is it?

Second door to the left,
right before the bathrooms.

Got it.

-[clapping]
-Leo!

[girl] Go, Leo!

What were you thinking? Huh?

There's three of them.

They could have really hurt you.

You're right. I'm sorry.

Just promise me no more fighting. Okay?

You're better than that.

You're better than them.

They're bigger than you, sure,
but you're stronger than them.

In here and in here.

All right?

Wow, that was really sweet, man.

You are definitely getting five stars.
Yeah.

[inhales] Mmm.

[Riyaz] That was
the coolest thing ever today.

I guess that was pretty cool.

My dad didn't like it, though.

Who cares?

The whole school is talking about it.

-Really?
-[Riyaz] Yeah, dude.

How'd you do it, though?

It seemed physically impossible,
no offense.

Well...

Oh, look! SmackDown's back on.

Tomorrow in Fallbridge,
WWE kicks off its search

to find the next NXT Superstar.

But one man has already registered.

Or should I say one monster?

The entire WWE roster should be
shaking in their boots right now,

because Samson has arrived, baby!

Remember the name. Samson.

And also Frankie Albano.

That's me, I'm his manager.
Remember that name, too.

Both names.

Dude, he's huge. He's gotta be a shoo-in
for that $50,000.

Fifty thousand dollars.

[deep-voiced] All you jabronis better
know your role, and stay out of my lane.

[regular voice] I look ridiculous.

[deep-voiced] "Cowabunga, dude!"

"I came here to chew bubblegum
and kick butt,

but I'm all out of bubblegum."

Thompson. Leo Thompson.

[yells]

"Can you smell...

what Leo is..."

No. I can't pull that one off.

"This is Sparta!"

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

your champ is here.

Yeah. [chuckles]

[scoffs] Chuck E. Cheese
is a block over, kid.

[men laughing]

Now I'm hungry.

[exhales]

Here we go.

[woman] Next!

You're a little small for this,
aren't you?

You know what they say.

"Great things come in small packages."

Whatever. What is your wrestling name?

My wrestling name...

Okay, come on. If you wanna compete,
I need a name.

And you should really think
about changing,

'cause you will be on television.

My name is Kid Chaos.

Next!

[men laughing]

Look at this guy. Never seen him before.

Get out of my seat, you little worm.

Hey.

Just ignore him, bruh. Come on.

Have a seat here.

They call me Smooth Operator.

But you can call me Smooth.

I'm smooth in the ring,

[sing-songy] and I got this
silky smooth voice.

Sweet. I'm Kid Chaos.

I like it. Nice to meet-- [sniffs]

Ugh. [coughs]

It smells like old bus seats.

Uh...

It is my pleasure

to this winner-take-all NXT competition.

I'll be your awesome host,

-Heard from Leo?
-No, I did not.

...will then have three weeks
of bone-crushing bouts

[loud thudding]

What is that?

[footsteps thud]

Wow, he's huge!

Dude, he's massive!

[low growl]

Uh, sorry we're late,
but I had to feed the beast.

He had four whole chickens
for lunch today.

Yeah. You should've seen the look
on the chicken's faces.

[mimics chicken, laughs]

Oh, my gosh. Look at this motley crew.

This is gonna be easier than I thought.

Miz, you made the right choice.

Because I'm the best there is,
the best there was,

and the best there ever will be.

[cheering]

Chaos rules!

And there they are, folks.

Your 16 tournament competitors.

-[grunts]
-Whoa!

[Denise] Little late, isn't it?

[Leo screams]

[Denise]
So this is a stinky mask with powers. Hmm.

You can't tell Dad. He'll kill me.

Baby, you found a magical mask.

It's not like you got a D in science.

I know, but...

I can win $50,000,

and then we can keep the house.

I overheard you and Dad talking.

Look, Leo,

that is not your concern, okay?

You're 11 years old,

and I'm sure your dad
will figure out a way to save the house.

Or I will.

But what if this is the way?

Not just to save the house.
To fix everything.

If I won the money,

Dad won't have to work so much.
And who knows?

Maybe Mom will even come back.

Oh, baby.

If I let you do this...

you cannot get hurt, or I will kill you.

I won't, Grandma.

With this mask, it's like...

like I really am a WWE Superstar.

It somehow takes what's inside of me
and makes it awesome.

Like, I can say or do anything.

[chuckles]

All right.

Just please promise me you'll be careful.

Uh-uh!

I said promise.

I promise.

[school bell ringing]

[Riyaz] Dude, where were you last night?

I, um... didn't feel well.

Man, you missed out.

I still don't know who I'm rooting for.

Definitely not Samson. He sucks.

Smooth Operator seems kind of cool.

I like the little guy. Kid Chaos.

Oh, yeah. He's crazy strong for his size.

Hey, uh... creepy staring guy?

Why don't you go talk to her?

Oh, no. I can't do that.

She's like smart and cool and popular.

She's just a person.

Then you go talk to her.

Yeah, I don't see myself doing that.

Why is that? No passion?

Come on, dude. You were strong enough
to take on Trevor and Mason.

You can talk to Erica.

Just... summon that guy.

[chuckles softly]

[Kid Chaos] Some say a life without books
is a life not worth living.

[Erica] Huh?

Who is that?

What up? Leo Thompson here.

You sound different.

Um, just a little cold.

Don't wanna get you sick.
Wouldn't be cool.

Hey, that's a great book.

You've read Percy Jackson?

Are you kidding? I love Rick Riordan.

Have you read The Trials of Apollo?

That's my jam right there.

Cool.

So, Erica, I've noticed
we're in a few classes together.

I was wondering if you wanna
get our study on sometime?

I mean... I guess.

Sure.

Um... actually,
how about we talk on the phone?

I'm free tomorrow.

I'll call you at four.

Perfect. Talk to you then.

[softly] Yes!

[Steve] All right, family.

I hope you are hungry

[with Italian accent]
because I have made for you,

an authentic Italian feast. Huh?

[regular accent] Daddy's special cooking.

Dig in.

All right.

Real authentic.
I feel like I'm in Tuscany.

Denise... I'll ask you
to hold your sarcasm, please,

because clearly my son enjoys my cooking.
Wow, you really...

You're very hungry. Are you okay?

Well... I've been burning
a lot of calories lately.

Must be all that brain busting
I'm doing at school.

Well, I did piledrive you
to the library yesterday.

My teacher got a real super kick
out of me doing all that extra credit.

Well, there's no way you're gonna
powerbomb your next big test.

-Yeah.
-[Denise chuckles]

[laughs]

Also...

I...

At work today, I, um...

uh...

put the sleeper hold on the brake line
of a 1988 Toyota Tercel, so...

I'mma eat the salad.

Oh. Hey. What are you doing here?

dance lessons right down the street,

so I figured I'd just come over.
Is that okay?

Uh...

Of course, it's okay. It's fine, sweetie.
[laughs]

Yeah, it's totally okay. I just, uh...

Uh... give me a second, okay?

You know, that is so crazy
that you're a dancer,

because I'm a dancer, too.

Like, back in the 80s,
I was a pop lock master.

Oh, my God. I was so funky fresh.

Tap me.

Oh, oh, oh!

Ooh! Ah!

[grunting]

In your face!

[Denise laughing]

[panting]

Okay, she's here. In your home.

Okay. Just breathe.

You can do this.

You can be cool.

Yeah.

You can be cool.

You can't be cool. [sighs]

You wanna start with Science?

Yeah, sure. But first,
let's get you a drink.

I'm good. I got my water.

So you want another drink to go
with your water. Don't worry, I'm on it.

Totally. Got it.

Sorry if I was a little jumpy there.

Not usually my style.

In fact, some people say
I'm cool as the other side of the pillow.

What people say that?

What?

And since I don't want to get you sick
with my cold,

I think I should maybe stay in here
while we work.

But first, let's get you a drink.

Grandma's lemonade.

Erica, I think this stuff
is really gonna knock your socks off.

Sounds great.

Hey! Um, look who it is.

[laughs nervously]

Ugh.

What is that smell?

Oh, the smell? What smell?

That smell's me.

Never buy perfume
off the back of a truck.

[mouthing]

Anyway, um...

Here, you'll like this. It's...

lemony and, uh, full of lemons.

They're ripe and stuff,
and it's like... squeeze it.

[laughs] You're funny.

Should we go start studying?

Yeah... let's get to it.

Okay...

[crowd cheering]

[crowd chanting] Chaos! Chaos!

No lassos this time, Tiny Dancer.

Just you and me.

Whatcha gonna do?

First off, jabroni,

I'm gonna try to touch you
as little as possible,

-while doing this. [yells]
-[growls]

Ew!

The match just started.
How are you so sweaty?

Don't ask questions
you don't want answers to.

Whoa!

[Kid Chaos grunts]

[groans]

[growls]

[roars]

It's in my mouth!

It's in my mouth!

Time to squash the worm!

Oh, God...

[yells]

[groans]

[crowd cheers]

I think it's time to start cooking...

with gas!

[farts loudly]

[yelling]

[moaning]

[all groaning]

[gags]

[farting continues]

[farting ends]

Whoa!

[grunts]

[cheering]

Uh...

Nope. Too stinky.

One, two, three!

[bell dings]

-Yes! Whoo!
-Yeah!

Ah! Unbelievable. I can't...

Let's go. Come on.

[low growl]

[crowd chanting] Chaos! Chaos!

[Smooth] So, now it's you versus me
to see who takes on Samson.

[Kid Chaos] It's been a long road, huh?

I've been at this for nearly a decade.

Even started training
right out of college.

Whoa! You've been in it for that long?

Yeah, I put in the time, bro.

Even had a couple tryouts for WWE.

I didn't get signed.

So this time, I've gotta win,

and make them sign me.

-I love that commitment.
-Thanks.

Nobody wants it more than me.

So, what do you think?

You gonna take it easy on me out there?

Depends. Are you gonna take it easy on me?

-[laughs]
-Didn't think so.

May the best man win.

-Fair enough. It was worth a try.
-[chuckling]

What?

The lighting is better over here.

My followers demand excellence.

You know, at this point, your followers
are pretty much 80% bot.

You're just jealous
because I don't follow you back.

No, it's just a fact.
We're all pretty much followed by bots.

Hey, hey! How's it going, man?

I, uh...

I was realizing that we haven't
spent much time together, you know?

And... we definitely haven't had time
to have a man-to-man conversation, so...

Okay...

Who's Erica? [laughs] Huh?

I mean, I...

Before yesterday, she didn't even exist.

I had to hear about her from...

TMZ over there.

Yeah.

-She's my new friend.
-Your new friend?

That's very cool.

Very, very cool.

Well, if you really wanna have
a man-to-man talk,

I was thinking,
and since Mom's gone and stuff--

I do wanna have a man-to-man talk.

And I was thinking, too, uh, you know,

I haven't had a chance really to show you
what I do, and so I was thinking,

God forbid you break down
on the side of the road or something,

you should know what a fuel filter is.

Which is this thing right here.

-So this thing, especially these old--
-Dad.

I'm sorry, but can we maybe
do this another time?

I'm supposed to meet with my friends
at the diner.

You're going out?

Yeah. Caleb got an A on his Spanish test.

His mom is treating us.

Yeah, man, go. Have fun with your friends.

-Thanks.
-Yeah.

-Hey, Dad?
-Yeah.

When will I get to see Mom again?

I don't know.

We'll figure it out.

I promise.

Okay.

Have fun. Have a good time.

Celebrate that A!

So, check it.

What if Kid Chaos is actually
just Kevin Hart in a mask,

researching a new role?

Maybe he's a method actor.

That's insane. He's not that small.

-Kid Chaos is, like, Leo's size.
-Mmm.

Erica, why're you hanging out
with these weirdos?

They're not weirdos, they're my friends.
And also,

one of them hung you up
by your underpants the other day.

So maybe you should be a little nicer.

Come on, guys. Let's go.

This way!

Idiots.

So, wait. We're like official friends?

I mean, yeah. Do you guys not wanna be--

-No! We totally do!
-We do!

-Yeah.
-[Erica] Cool.

So, any of you doing the talent show?

I was gonna submit my short film,
but I doubt I'll finish it in time.

You haven't even started it, man.

That's why I doubt I'll finish it.

[sighs] You infuriate me.

Wait. Are you gonna do it?

Put your dancing lessons to use?

I don't know. It's a big crowd,

and I'd be up there all alone. So...

Well...

what if I dance with you?

Wait, really? You'd do that?

Yeah. You'd do that?

Yeah.

I'm not that great,

but if you want me to, I'll give it a try.
I mean...

what are friends for?

Hey, you!

Right here, Pops!

Empty the register now!

[cashier] I am. I am. I am.

The safe, too! Open it!

Let's go! Let's go! I ain't got all day!

Okay, don't freak out.

There's a guy robbing the place,
and you're telling us not to freak out?

What are you--

[all] Ugh!

[coughing] Leo!

What died?

I'm sorry I didn't
tell you guys before, and...

I should have.

Come on, hurry up!

If I gotta ask you one more time,
this place is gonna get messy. Let's go!

I'll explain later.

Come on, hurry up!

[cashier] I'm working on it, okay?

Who did that?

Your worst nightmare!

-[boy] It's Kid Chaos!
-[girl] Kid Chaos!

Ow! All right!

-[grunts]
-[groans]

[yelling]

[Kid Chaos yells]

[man screams]

[Caleb] Whoo! Yeah!

[all laughing]

[moans]

Have fun in jail.

See you in what, five to ten years?

[all chanting] Chaos! Chaos! Chaos! Chaos!

So what made you decide to help?

That's just how
the people's champ is wired.

When I'm around, crime is down.

Chaos rules.

He's a hero now.

[laughing] He's a hero now.

Please turn it off. Turn it off.

Please turn it off.

[growls]

Can you not destroy everything you touch?

[sighs] I got that on Black Friday.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I cannot watch you eat any more butter.

Please take that outside. Please.

Oh, my God! You...

[groans]

...are a genius.

[laughing]

Kid Chaos...

you butter watch out.

[laughs] You see what I did there?

You know, let me get this straight.

So Leo tries to open up to you

about his mom a little earlier,
and you just...

told him, "We'll figure it out"?

It is insane to me...

that you do not get...

how these dry quicker...

when they're upside down,
because then the water is not in the...

[stammering] It doesn't matter,
but, like, gravity is--

Hey! Hey! Don't get mad at me.

-I'm not mad at you.
-Yeah, you are.

I'm mad at myself, honestly. I just...

I don't have the answers. I don't...

know when he's going to see Rachel next,
and it sucks.

Well, I hate to say it,
but Leo needs a little more.

And he's a smart kid.

He can handle it.

You want me to tell him that his mom
met someone else and moved to New York?

And apparently doesn't have time
to call him?

You think he can handle that?

Okay, yes.

My daughter could use a little help
in the mom department.

And yes, she should call more.

This parenting is so hard.

It was so much easier
with the two of us, and I...

Honestly, I...

This is gonna be our new normal.

And you gotta stop running from it
and hiding out here in the garage.

I am not...

-hiding out here in the garage.
-Yes, you are.

No, I'm not.

Yeah, I guess... I guess I am.

Steve, his mother left,
but his dad is still here.

I can't believe we're friends
with a superhero.

You're like Spider-Man!

Miles Morales Spider-Man,

not Tom Holland Spider-Man.

Or Andrew Garfield.

[both] Or Tobey Maguire.

Yes! Thank you.

Bet I'm stronger than Spider-Man.

Someone's getting cocky.

Dude, we're totally going
to your semifinals.

We can be your posse.

We need to make t-shirts, stat.

Let's make a mood board.

So...

were you wearing the mask

when you talked to me
in the library that day?

And at your house?

Yeah, sorry.

I was just trying
to make a good impression.

For the record, I prefer the real Leo.

And you know what? I think
you kind of inspired me.

I think I'm gonna sign up
for the talent show.

Good for you.

I'll take you up on that offer
to dance with me.

I don't need you to do much.

Just, you know, bust a few small moves.

Small moves. I can do small moves.

Now he's a dancer.

So cocky.

Come on, Samson! Let's go!

Yes!

Watch out! Uh-oh.

That's your first mistake.

There's your second mistake.

Whoa! That hurts.

[laughing]

One, two, three!

[all] Boo!

[phone vibrates]

Aw, look it. Dad said good luck tonight.

I mean, he meant

-[vibrates]
-Oh, look...

He's also taking the weekend off.

Maybe you guys can get together and talk?

Chill? Huh?

Yeah, sure. Maybe. I just can't think
about that right now.

Right, right, right.

You're right. Time to focus.

Okay, baby. You ready?

Are you kidding?

Kid Chaos is about to check
into the Smackdown Hotel,

and take the elevator all the way
up to the penthouse,

and do what he does best.

Get the W.

It's almost scary how you do that.

It's cool, though, right?

Yeah.

[indistinct announcement on PA]

Chaos time, baby. Come on!

Let's go!

Go get 'em!

What up, Smooth?

What's up, Kid?

Hey. Check this out.

[Kid Chaos] All the fans out there.

And they're here to see us. Crazy.

Yeah. It's so cool.

I've dreamed about this
ever since I was ten years old.

Me too.

And now, our last semifinal match
of the evening,

with the winner facing Samson next week
in a steel cage.

First up...

Smooth Operator!

Showtime.

Are you sure?

Of course.

Yeah!

I did not put that stuff on my shoe.

Don't worry about it, bruh.

The best man won.

I want everybody in this arena
and at home to know something.

Smooth Operator is a good man!

[crowd cheers]

And come next week,

I'm gonna bring a dictionary to the ring.

Because I'm going to teach Samson
a new word.

Chaos!

[cheering]

[crowd chanting] Chaos! Chaos! Chaos!

Ah! What're you sneaking up on me
like that for?

Donuts go inside. Donuts go inside
to the giant man who eats everything.

Kid Chaos. What're you doing to me?

[Erica] I don't even like wrestling.

But, wow!

I think you literally
broke the laws of physics.

I mean, what else can you do in that mask?

Fly? Teleport?

It's not that type of magic.

[woman] Excuse me, Kid Chaos?

Sorry to interrupt. We need you
for the post-match press conference.

You mean, another public forum
to make fun of Samson?

My pleasure.

Wait! Kid Chaos...

The talent show?

Oh, right. Can you give us a minute?

Sure.

Alone? [chuckles]

Oh, yeah.

I'll leave as soon as I'm done.

It's a kid!

[muffled] It's a kid. It's a kid.

It starts at 6:00 p.m., sharp.

All right.
Well, I'll drive you kids there.

Leo, you sure you don't want us
to wait with you?

I'm okay. Thanks, Grandma.
I've gotta deal with this.

I'll leave right after.

[Denise] Okay, give me some. Ah!

All right, let's go.

Do not take your socks off in my car.

[Caleb] Riyaz...

[Riyaz] Hey, no. She pointed at you!

[boys continue arguing]

[laughing]

It's a magic mask.

It's a magic mask.

So, Samson.
How do you feel about the upcoming match?

[grunts]

-[laughing]
-Are you excited to be in the finals?

[grunts]

And you can quote him on that.

Thoughts on your opponent here?

[growls]

Oh, boy! [laughing]

Kid Chaos. Thoughts on Samson?

[Frankie] Yeah...

Kid Chaos.

Why don't you tell us what's going on
in that little brain of yours, okay?

And be sure to use your big boy voice.

Frankie. Frankie. Frankie.

That's my name said three times.

Do you ever stop talking?

Sometimes.

And do you ever start?

Seriously, what is up with these grunts?

[grunts]

Say one actual word.

I'm begging you.

[gasps]
In fact, let's start with an easy one.

Five letters, two syllables.

Loser.

[Frankie] Uh-oh. Uh-oh!

Now you did it.

Now you've done and did it.

-[grunts]
-[Frankie] Oh, watch out!

[laughs] Watch out. You got him mad now.

All right, don't hurt 'em, Samson.

Don't hurt these boys.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Samson, a man of no words, no class,

and come Saturday night,

no NXT contract.

[grunting]

All right. Oh, you shook the beehive.

Why are you grabbing me?
I didn't break the table. Ow!

Kid Chaos?

We need you to shoot a couple
of quick promos for the match. Cool?

[Kid Chaos] Um...

Of course.

Great. This way.

-[Frankie] All right, that's enough!
-[Samson grunting angrily]

Don't-- Stop breaking-- Oh!

Don't break my stuff!

Come on, stop it! Samson!

Sam-- Oh, not my lamp!

Come on, stop doing that!

-[grunting]
-Oh! Not the window!

Stop.

All right, calm down.

-[yells]
-Calm down! Calm down!

All right, I'm sorry, but calm down.

Calm down. I get it.

He embarrassed you. I get it.

But I... I have some great news.

Kid Chaos...

[chuckles]

He's just a kid.

Hmm?

That's right, he's just a kid.

He's just a kid.

That mask he wears?

It has magical powers.

-[groans]
-I'm... I know that sounds crazy,

but it's true.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Mmm?

I don't want you to worry. Okay?

Because Frankie Albano...

has got a plan.

Hi!

So tune in Saturday night
to watch Kid Chaos

knock Samson out.

Cut!

Great, great. That was gr--

That's how you point, Rog.
You see how he pointed there? You see? Uh.

Uh. That was good.

-Uh.
-Uh.

Let's get some alts.

[playing classical music]

Miss Cartwright, could you move us
to the end?

Like, to the very end?

Leo's not here yet.

Still waiting on half your act?

Well, I'll just pop you at the end.

Sounds like a strong finale.

[crowd chanting] Chaos! Chaos!

[cheering]

[man] Kid! Can I get a selfie?

[woman] Hey, can I get a selfie?

Anything for my fans.

[sputtering]

-Ooh. [laughing]
-Oh, my goodness.

[trumpet continues playing off-key]

[applause]

Well, that was... spectacular.

Up next, we have
Erica Bartlett and Leo Thompson.

Whoo!

Guys, I am so sorry.

The press conference
just went on forever.

They wouldn't let me leave.

What?

Oh. That was...

They hounded me.
I left as soon as I could.

I will stay here until
every last one of you gets a photo.

[crowd cheers]

[Leo] Okay, fine.

Sorry.

I lost track of time.

How'd it go?

It was awful...

until Caleb saved the day.

Hang on, what?

He can dance.

Like, amazingly.

Dancing is my true passion.

Deal with it.

I'm so lost.

Yes, you are.

Come on. Are you seriously mad?

Yeah. You ditched me,
and this was all your idea.

I know, but...
I was just doing my job, okay?

I mean, it's only a talent show.

I've kind of got more important things
going on right now.

Well, hello there, Kid Ego.

Whatever. It's true.

Sorry that I'm Kid Chaos and you're not.

No. What you are is a jerk.

Having some bike trouble, Leo?

Guys, I've had a long night.

We don't care.

Dude, you messed with us.

The only reason I messed with you

is because you always mess with me,

because you can.

That's right.

We can.

Ah!

[groans]

Hey, buddy.

[knocking at door]

Hey, man.

You wanna talk about it?

I can help...

I think.

[sighs]

Growing up is... really hard.

But it does get easier.

And if we're being honest,
it does get harder again.

You know, your grandfather
and I actually had a great discussion

about how hard it is to grow up...

in the garage working on the Camaro.

I don't wanna work
on the stupid car with you, Dad.

That's not really what I meant.

Dad, it is what you meant.

Because whenever things get too serious,
you go and work on the car.

Nailed me.

To the core.

Listen, I am--

Please, Dad.

I... I just wanna be alone.

Yeah.

Of course.

[sighs]

[knocking]

I said--

Easy, killer.

Come on.

Talk to me, get your mind right.

I thought the mask
would make everything better.

I thought it was gonna fix things,

but I was wrong.

Everything's a mess.

It's so unfair.

Didn't you say the mask

brings out confidence in you?

-Yeah, but--
-No buts.

Come on.

You know, the magical mask
is not what makes you strong.

Real strength comes from here... and here.

Dad said something like that
the other day, too.

That's because it's true.

Listen, kiddo. Your dad really loves you.

We both do.

And I know your mom leaving,
it's been rough on you.

It's been hard on me, too.

I gotta tell you, it hasn't been easy
on your dad, either.

Okay?

Hmm.

Good.

Dad!

Dad--

[sighs]

When you came on stage, I had no clue
what was gonna happen.

[Caleb] Yeah, I've been watching
you guys rehearse,

so I knew most of it.

I'm pretty vigilant.
It was mostly freestyle.

Hey, guys.

Look... I'm sorry.

I was a jerk, and you're my best friends.

I let all this stuff go to my head.

I was stupid.

Can you forgive me?

Yes. Yes. Yes!

Wait, really?

Yeah. We've been talking,
and we've decided,

you can't really judge a man
until you've walked a mile in his mask.

Also, I'm an amazing dancer.

I know that seems unrelated, but still,

never forget that.

Thanks, guys.

So, do you still wanna come--

The cage match? Dude, yes!

[Caleb] Keep it down.

[whispering] Cage match? Dude, yes.

[Corey Graves] WWE Universe,
tonight is the night.

Two rookies will do battle inside of
a 16-foot-high steel cage,

vying not only for an NXT contract,

but a $50,000 cash prize.

And one of them might even die.

No. No one's gonna die. That's--

I'm sorry. Have you seen
the size of Kid Chaos?

Yeah, but...

Nobody's gonna die, I promise.

But the action is gonna be incredible.

Yes.

-Especially if somebody--
-Renee.

Hey!

Family!

Guess who got Chinese food?

Leo?

Denise?

-[knocks]
-Leo?

So, how're you feeling, Kid Chaos?

Good. I just wish Dad could be here.

Okay, okay!
Everybody ready for a big night?

Hey, hey, get out of here!

Relax. Relax.

We know who you are...

Leo.

There he is. Don't worry.
Your secret's safe with us, okay?

Seriously, it, uh... it is.

It is?

Yeah, it is. Go get something to eat.

Look...

I'm not here to start any trouble,
I come in peace.

[chuckling] Okay?

But I'm a competitive guy.

And you're a competitive guy.

We're all competitive people, okay?
It's human nature.

And, uh...

Yeah. Things got a little out of hand.

And for that...

I'm sorry, okay? We're both sorry.

Isn't that right, Samson?

[grunts]

That means he's sorry. [laughs]

Anyway, congratulations
on making it this far, okay?

You really got something, kid.

So, good luck tonight.

May the best man, or kid, win.

[low growl]

[Frankie] Come on. Give him his space.

Come on. You gotta warm up, anyway.

Let's go.

Hmm.

Nice delivery, but I ain't buying it.

All right. Let's get focused.

So, I went to the thrift store
the other day,

while you were at school.

It wasn't as nice as my vintage shop,

but I was able to pick out a few pieces,

and work my magic.

Huh? Huh?
What do you think about this?

-Yeah!
-Oh, yeah!

Aw! Yes!

Hey, kids.

-We should've gotten popcorn.
-I know.

G'ma's here.

-Hi!
-How's it going?

-What's up?
-What's up?

What's up, homie?

-Kofi!
-Yeah!

I didn't think you'd make it.

Come on, man. You know
I'd never miss a cage match.

All right.

[announcer] Welcome your first opponent,

the Shredder from Sheboygan,

the mighty Samson!

[rock music playing]

Boo!

He's the best!

And here comes Samson.

Inspired dialogue, Graves.

[crowd booing]

I'm not worthy.
I'm not worthy, Samson!

-Boo!
-Come here. Samson, please!

-Let's go! My man!
-Yeah!

[announcer] Your next opponent,

your very own hometown hero,

it's Kid Chaos!

-Mm-hmm

Okay. Let's see it.

[announcer] And finally,
your very special guest referee,

WWE Superstar, Sheamus!

Faugh a Ballagh!

All right, Sheamus!

Come on, Red!
Call it right, Red! Call it right!

[rock music playing]

Keep it fair. Keep it fair.

Keep it fair, all right?

[Sheamus] Hello!

[crowd cheering]

Welcome to the main event!

Two men enter.

Only one will emerge
a WWE NXT Superstar.

[cheering]

Bill.

Bill.

Terrifying bill.

-[Sheamus on TV] Are we ready?
-Oh.

It's Sheamus.

[cheering]

-You got this, Kid Chaos!
-Yeah!

Ring the bell!

[bell rings]

[grunts]

[Leo grunts]

[grunts]

[crowd] Boo!

[yells]

Boo!

What is going on?

Whoa!

[yells]

[groaning]

What the...

What?

-Leo?
-Leo?

That nerd?

Leo!

What is this? Kid Chaos unmasked!

I told you someone was gonna die.

[sniffing]

[low growl]

This isn't good.

Run, baby, run!

Okay, Samson. Put the mask on.

Come on, let's go. Pull it down.

Use your muscles! Suck in your cheek.

Suck in your ears!

Suck in your head!

Does anybody have any petroleum jelly?

-No, don't throw it down. It's...
-[grunts]

Don't step on it!

What're you doing? Don't!

[grunts]

Uh-oh.

Listen, Samson. Let's...
Let's work something out.

Maybe cut a deal.

-Ah!
-For instance, you know, um...

if you don't beat me up now,

maybe I'll teach you how to talk.

[roars]

New plan. If you don't kill me,

I'll introduce you to some new people,

help you make a new friend.

Because you need one. Bad.

That's not very nice, am I right?

Hey, Samson, leave him alone.
He's just a kid.

[grunts]

He's trying to escape!
He's trying to escape! Get him, Samson!

Get him. Get him out.

[yelling]

[Sheamus] Put him down! Put him down!

Put him down!

[crowd gasps]

Stay up there, baby. Stay up there.

Hey! I said he's just a kid.

Back off, Samson. I'm the official here.

Kid, you all right?

Oh, no.

Samson, get up there! Get that mask!

Samson, he's going for the mask!
Get the mask!

If he gets the mask before us, we're done!

Get the mask!
You gotta get up there before him!

Get the mask, Samson!

Get up there and get the mask!

Go, climb!

Climb-- Oh, my back!

Get up there!

Leo!

Get down!

Leo, get down here! This is your dad!

Steve, where're you going?

To save my son!

No-- You're right. Security.
It's fine. We're gonna--

Ha-ha!

Leo!

-Leo, you get down right now!
-Hey!

Leo, get down! I'm his dad! I'm his dad!

Dad, what are you doing here?

What am I do--
Leo, what are you doing here?

That being said,
I think you're gonna be okay.

I am?

Yes. Remember how I told you
every superstar has a weakness?

Well, look at this guy!

He's sweating. Look at his hands!
They're practically trembling!

Well, back at the tryouts,

he refused to jump off the top rope.

-That's because he has…
-[both] A fear of heights!

[Frankie] Fear of heights?
Are you guys crazy?

Fear of heights? This guy loves heights!

He talks about heights all the time. He...

He climbed Mount Everest last year, so...

Look down, Samson.

Or is my dad right?

-Are you scared?
-[Frankie] Samson, keep climbing!

Keep climbing or I will send you back
to that circus in Sheboygan!

If you really
wanna be the next NXT Superstar,

you know someday
you'll have to get past this.

So, why don't you do it now? Right now?

Look down, Samson. I dare you.

[growls]

[loud cheering]

I was right about something!

[Leo grunts]

Sheamus!

Sheamus, get up!

-He did it!
-He did it!

Did you see that? Oh, my God!

Get up! Hey! Count!

[all] One...

two... three!

-Yeah!
-[bell dings]

Oh, my God!

Yeah!

That's my son!

Yeah! Yeah!

[Steve] I told you that's my son!

[loud cheering]

Oh, my God!

-Oh, my God! You did it!
-[laughing]

Yeah!

-Are you okay?
-Yeah.

Dad...

I'm so sorry about all this.

And I'm sorry for what I said.

No, it's okay. You were right.

And I should have told you...

about Mom and everything. It's just...

It makes me sad, and so I was scared
that you would be sad, too. But...

I have to be brave, just like you.

And neither of us
needs a magical mask to do that.

There's one thing that you can always,
always count on.

And that's I'm not going anywhere.

Ever.

I love you.

Love you, too.

You're still grounded.

You're beyond grounded.

One for the books, Kid Chaos!

Or should I call you Leo?

That's your real name, right?

Also, you're 11?

Eleven and a half, technically, but yeah.

Leo, how did you do it?

Well, Miz,

at the end of the day,

I won because...

I had some really great people
in my corner.

[cheering]

That's great.

We've got a little problem.

We can't have an 11-year-old
wrestling in WWE, can we?

That's correct. We cannot
have an 11-year-old

wrestling in the WWE. It's not safe.
He's not allowed to do it.

But I love you.

Probably not the best idea.

But I have a way we can fix this.

Since I won, how about
I pick my replacement?

Do you have someone in mind?

Yes, I do.

Smooth Operator, get down here!

What?

[Leo] Come on, Smooth!

Come on!

He's wanted this ever since he was my age.

What do you guys think?

[cheering]

He's got what it takes.

Smooth Operator...

welcome to WWE!

[cheering]

Miz...

Whoo!

-Yes! Oh, my God!
-Big pipes.

That was amazing!

Leo, there's just one thing left to do.

I don't think so, you little brat!

Hold on. Hold on!

[crowd booing]

[groans]

That check belongs to me.

-Here it comes!
-Ah!

Oh!

[groans]

[laughing]

[all gasp]

Oh!

You just got Grandma'd!

Hold on. Let me take a picture!

-[clicks]
-Ah!

[laughing] In your face!

[crowd chanting] Leo! Leo! Leo!

[continues] Leo! Leo! Leo!

Yeah, let's go, Leo!

Whoo!

Yeah!

All right, boys, bring it in. Shake hands,

and give me a good, clean match.

Let's see how well you do
without the mask, Leo.

Yeah.

Let's see.

[rock music playing]

Well, let me get a quick selfie
with the winner for the 'gram.

And I mean Instagram,
not the other G word.

-Oh, yes! [laughing]
-Nice.

[Kofi] Excuse me. Leo!

Hey, man.

That was a brave thing you did.

I had to come congratulate you myself.

Wow. Thanks, Kofi.

And you must be the proud father?

I am, you bet.

And who is this

beautiful creature?

Got nothing to say?
I have never seen that before. [scoffs]

Oh. This is my--

Denise.

Well, the pleasure is mine, Denise.

[laughs]

Hey, man, I gotta be honest.

I didn't think you could pull it off.

But I'm so glad that you proved me wrong.

And it's too bad you can't join us
in the WWE.

You were impressive.

What're you talking about?
I'll see you in ten years, Kofi.

And then, I'll show you
the true meaning of impressive.

Believe that.

You're on.

Denise.

[yelling] I love you!

[all] Oh.

-Wow.
-[Riyaz] Real smooth.

Did you just see that? He kissed...
