Turning My Life Around

I was headed to my hotel room, dragging my luggage with me. My contract with Pro Wrestling Noah had expired, and I was just told this a few minutes ago. I walked past the Toyko Dome, when I noticed that it was advertising a WWE event. Not giving much thought, I walked inside and purchased a ring side ticket. I was about to walk out and head to my hotel room, when I was stopped by COO of the WWE, HHH and his wife Stephanie McMahon.

"Can I help you?" I asked, not knowing what they wanted.

"Yes you can." Said Steph.

"You are Kai Kyuketsuki of Pro Wrestling Noah, correct?" HHH asked.

"I am...well I was. My contract with PWN expired today and I just found out." I replied.

"That's sad news, but it's also good news." Steph said, causing me to look confused.

"See we want you to be a plant at this WWE event for tonight. And if things go according to plan, we can get you a contract with the WWE.." HHH said, which made me look at him, surprised.

"Now is this something you'd want to do or-" I cut Steph off.

"Yes this is something I want to do. I've always dreamed of working with an amazing company like the WWE." I replied, to which Stephanie and HHH smiled.

HHH extended his hand, and I shook it with a smile on my face. He, Steph and I went to the arena, where the event was being held. We went into the back, where he introduced me to Curtis Axel, and told him that I was working in a promo with him as well as a match. Curtis extended his hand, to which I shook it.

"Nice to meet you Kai." He said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you too Curtis. You're a nicer guy than your character." I said, which caused him to chuckle.

"Yeah...I get that a lot." He said.

HHH gave me and him scripts and told us to rehearse, but before we did, he told me that I could improvise my lines, since WWE creative didn't know who would be working the promo with Axel.

Curtis was standing in the ring, with a mic in his hand, while I was sitting in the crowd, by the ring.

"You know, lately, I've been getting bored here at the WWE..." He started, getting lots of boos and "what's?". I just sat in my seat, waiting for Axel to issuse a challenge to me. To be honest, I was pretty nervous, and I hoped that I didn't screw up my first ever match.

"I have beaten anyone who has stepped in the ring with me. I want an actual challenge, but I know that Tyoko, Japan, can't even give me a challenge." He continued, earning louder booing and jeering. I closed my eyes and tried to calm my nerves down.

I kept my eyes closed and kept trying to calm my nerves down, as Axel continued talking, and berating Japan. I felt him point at me, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that he was.

"Take this guy, for example. He is so skinny, he has no muscle. I bet I can beat him without even trying." He said. That was my invite. So I stood up, hopped over the barricade, grabbed a mic and walked into the ring.

"Just who in the hell do you think you are? Coming out here and belittling Japan's people." I asked. Axel smiled and laughed.

"Boy, you must be deaf. I am Curtis Axel, and I-" I cut him off.

"I don't care if your the god damn pope. You have no right to come out here and talk down on me and everyone in Tyoko." I growled.

"And what the hell are you going to do about it?" Axel demanded.

I got up right in Curtis' face. "I'm going to kick your teeth down your throat and send your ass back to where you came from." I said, earning loud cheers.

After I said that, HHH's music hit and he came out from the back. He looked around at the WWE Universe, before making his way down the ramp and into the ring. He brought the mic up to his mouth.

"Well, well, well. It seems we got a lot of tension in the air. And Mr. Axel, you've seemed to have gotten under the skin of this fan to the point of him wanting to show you why running your mouth off will be a bad thing." HHH said, earning two heated glares from Axel and Heyman. I smirked, and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Now you are saying that you can beat this...fan without even trying..." HHH started, causing Paul and Axel to start talking about how amazing Axel was as a wrestler, which caused me to laugh and shake my head. "Well it seems our guest thinks that you can't beat him without trying...So here's what I'm going to do." HHH turned to face me. "I'm going to give you a one-on-one match with Curtis Axel. If you manage to beat him, I'll give you a WWE contract...But should you lose to Axel, then you won't be getting a contract."

I looked at HHH, listened to the fans chating 'kick his ass', and 'do it' and smiled. "Hunter, you got yourself a deal." I started to leave the ring, but stopped and looked at Axel. "Bring your A game boy, or I'm going to beat your ass without breaking a sweat." I dropped my mic, and left the ring, with the fans cheering and Axel and Heyman shouting at me.

I was in the back, shadowboxing and stretching out my limbs, getting ready for my first ever WWE match, against Curtis Axel, when someone patted me on the back. I turned around and saw CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler standing there.

"Good luck in your match against Axel tonight." Said Ziggler.

"Though I've easily beaten him without breaking much of a sweat." Added Punk.

"If Heyman, or Ryback try anything, me and Punk here will jump in and make sure they don't cost you your match." Ziggler said.

I nodded, thanked them, and watched them leave. I went back to stretching and shadowboxing, as I waited for my match to begin. After I was good and ready, I watched the matches on the TV that was in the back. The match that was on now, was AJ Lee vs. Brie Bella. I always had a crush on AJ since I saw her preform back in Women Superstars Uncensored, also when she was in Florida Championship Wrestling. There was something about her in ring skill, her mic skills...God, everything about her was pure perfection.

AJ put Brie in her Black Widow submission hold, and after a few minutes Brie was tapping out and the ref rang the bell. AJ released her hold, took her belt from the ref and raised her arms, getting boos from the crowd. She left the ring and headed towards the back, where I was talking to one of the booking agents. After the agent left, I noticed that AJ was standing there, looking at me.

"Your that new guy who's facing Axel tonight, right?" She asked.

I nodded. "Yes I am."

She punched me on the arm playfully. "Whoop his ass. I know my character is a heel and whatnot, but I cannot stand Axel at all."

I rubbed my arm, like it hurt, which made her laugh a bit. "You're not the only one who can't stand him."

Me and AJ talked a bit, while Curtis Axel made his enterance. After he was done, I was told by HHH that it was my turn to walk out. AJ stood on her tippy toes and kissed my cheek. "Good luck." She said, and skipped off to the women's locker room.

I smiled and pulled out a cd that had 'Diabolos' by Dir En Grey on it and gave it to the sound guy. The lights went out, before the arena was filled with a beautiful blue light, as the song played throughout the arena. There must of been some Dir En Grey fans in the crowd, because they started cheering loudly as the music played. After about five minutes, HHH gave me the go ahead and I walked out from the back, earning more cheers from the WWE Universe. I walked with a calm, slow pace to the ring, walked up the steps and got into the ring.

"The following main event, is for one fall. First, from Champlin, Minnesota, weighing in at 227 pounds, Curtis Axel." Justin announced. Axel did his pose, which got boos from the WWE Universe.

"Next, from Kyoto, Japan, weighing in at 43 killograms, Kai." Justin announced, earning a lot of cheers from the WWE Universe. After Justin left, the ref went over the rules with me and Axel and made sure we had no hidden weapons on us. After we were both cleared, he called for the bell.

Axel and I started off with a test of strength, which Axel won, of course. He put me into a side headlock, but I reversed it, put him in a headlock and dropped him on his back and head. I kicked Axel in the midsection three times, then stomped on his legs. I backed away, allowing Axel to get to his feet. Once he did, I hit him with a standing drop kick, and went for a cover. I only got a 2 count, sat him up, then went to the ropes, bounced off them and hit him with another drop kick. I went for another cover and got a 1 count. Sighing, I went to pick Axel up, when he kneed me in the midsection, and hit me with a Hangman's facebuster. He picked me up and then hit me with his Perfect-Plex. The ref got to 2 and a half, before I managed to kick out, causing Axel to yell at the ref. Axel grabbed me by the hair, got me to a vertical base and Irish Whipped me into the left-upper turn buckle. He ran at me, and I moved out of the way, causing Axel to hit the turn buckle. I rolled up Axel and got yet another 2 count. I got to my feet, and measured up Axel. As soon as he got to a vertical base, I hit him with a standing enzuigiri, then I signaled that I was going to put Axel away. Paul Heyman got the ref's attention and Ryback got into the ring, and leveled me with a Meat Hook clothesline, and left the ring. He got caught by the ref who, while yelling at Heyman and Ryback to leave, had his back turned to the match. Punk ran from the back and attacked Ryback. While those two brawled, Axel got me to a vertical base, and was going to put me away with a Picture Perfect DDT, when Ziggler ran through the crowd, jumped the barricade, slid into the ring, hit Axel with a Zig-Zag and left the ring. When the ref turned around, I covered Axel. "1...2...3...ring the bell" I can't believe it. I won my debut and first ever WWE match. The ref raised my hand, as my music played and the WWE Universe cheered loudly for my win.

I was on my way to the locker room, when I ran into HHH. He congratulated me on my first win, and told me that we would do the contact signing on Monday, but we'd be doing a contract signing segment on Raw, where after the "signing" Axel would come out, cut a promo on how I wouldn't have won the match, if it weren't for Punk and Ziggler's help, rip up the "contract" and challenge me to a re-match.

"You'll be feuding with Axel until Money In The Bank, where you will face Axel for his Intercontinental Championship, which you will win. And that'll end your feud and maybe we'll have you working with AJ Lee up until Summerslam." HHH told me.

I froze up. I could not believe what I was just told. Not only was I going to win the Intercontinental Championship, but I'd get to work with the beautiful AJ. HHH saw the look in my eyes, laughed and patted me on the back. "Good luck, kid." He said and left.

After returning to the real world, I made my way to the locker room and got dressed. As I was getting ready to leave, I ran into CM Punk, AJ and Dolph Ziggler. They all were smiling and clapping.

"Good job in your match out there, Kai." AJ said.

"I honestly would've lost had Punk and Dolph not evened out the fight." I replied.

"Like we said before..." Punk began

"If Heyman, or Ryback tried anything, we'd jump in and even it out." Ziggler finished.

I thanked Punk and Ziggler, and was going to walk out when AJ stopped me. I turned around and looked at her.

"Me and some of the superstars and divas, were going to go to a hotel bar...and I was wondering...if...youwouldliketojoin" She said shyly, while looking down at the ground. My god that was THE cutest thing ever.

I smiled. "I would love to join you. Which hotel will it be at and what time are we meeting up at?" I asked.

"10:30 and at Hotel Seiyo Ginza." Said Ziggler.

I smiled. "What a coincidence. I'm staying at Hotel Seiyo Ginza." I replied, which caused AJ to look up at me.

"So...you'll be there then?" She asked softly, to which I nodded.

She smiled and gave me a big hug. We said our goodbyes and I headed to Hotel Seiyo Ginza, so I could put my gear away. Tonight, and the weeks to come, were going to be the best of my life. Not only did I win my first WWE match, I also get to be IC Champion and then I get to work with the diva I had the biggest crush on, AJ Lee. My life was finally turning around and I was extremely thankful for it.

I do not own WWE, or any of its wrestlers and whatnot. I do own Kai, because, well it's me. Hope you guys like the first chapter of a fic I haven't written in about a year.
