Well, I decided to write another wrestling story, and I gotta admit that I had a lot of fun with this. I will say this really quick though: I changed the majority of title holders around Payback and I will explain why I did it at the bottom. On with the story


I arrived at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois wearing my Chicago Cubs shirt, and a Chicago Bulls hat. My name is James Smith, or Chase Lewis as most wrestling fans would know me. I have been wrestling in Japan for the past few years, and this was the first time I have been to a WWE event in my hometown. I was currently visiting the grave of my best friend who wanted to get into wrestling along with me. He was the only one who actually believed in me, so I had to make it for him. I hoped that the show was good. The first match was Chris Jericho and CM Punk taking on The Miz and Curtis Axel, which ended after Jericho hit the Code-breaker on Axel. It was an excellent match, and started the show off on the right foot. The rest of the show was decent enough, and the whole secret admirer storyline between Layla and AJ Lee was something I was looking forward to. I had a mini crush on AJ since her days on NXT, and I was surprised when Alberto Del Rio's music hit. He walked down to the ring, with a bouquet of roses and a fancy suit. God how I hated him and his gimmick.

"Alberto, it was you?" AJ asked him skeptically, which made him give her a small grin.

"Si. AJ, I know this is unexpected. This is hard for me cause these think all I care about is beating people up; but honestly, I…I care about more than that. I…I care about you" he said. AJ was surprised, but I saw through his bullshit. I have been there before, and as he leaned in to kiss her, his grin turned into a sly smile as he started to laugh as Layla's music played.

"You really think someone would actually care about you AJ? That's a good joke. You have no one who loves you, no friends; none of these people give a damn about you. The only thing you have that is worth anything is that Diva's title and come Sunday, you won't even have that" Layla stated, as Alberto stood there laughing at AJ, who broke down. He picked up the microphone, and I can only hope he issues a challenge for the crowd.

"You see AJ, you're like all these people: you wish you looked half as good as Layla does, and these people wish that they could be me. You can try to pick up the pieces, but deep down, you KNOW that everyone hates you" he told her, making her cry even harder.

"AJ, no one would bother coming to your rescue if I backed you into a corner. No one from the back, and no one from this fat and pathetic crowd" he finished, as he started to back AJ into a corner. I hopped over the secruity barricade to a lot of cheers. Del Rio turned to face me, and I just gave him an evil grin. He goes to speak, but I rip the mic from his hand.

"Del Rio, you really need to shut the fuck up! I can gaurantee that no one in this building wish they were a coward like you" I told him with a smirk. He then ripped the mic out of my hand, which made me glare at him.

"Who the hell do you think you are!" He screamed in my face, and I just walked over to AJ, and offered her a hand up. She took it, and gave me a sad smile. I grabbed the mic from his hand again, making him more pissed.

"You can call me Chase Lewis, and I specialize in kicking ass, and pissing people off. Especially those wearing expensive suits" I replied with a smirk. Alberto went to rip the mic out of my hand, but I pulled it away. "I wouldn't recommend doing that. If you do, then I will have to knock your teeth down your throat" I told him with an evil smirk, as Layla finally spoke up.

"How dare you speak to this fine gentleman like he is nothing but a commoner!" She said, and I just rolled my eyes at her.

"Pretty simple: I dare because I'm not afraid of a person who feels the need to be in the company of a fake woman like you" I told her before turning my attention towards Del rio. "Or if he needs to wear a damn suit to try and make himself look like a classy person when in reality, he is just a classless bitch who needs to get his ass kicked" I finished, to the crowd giving me a 'kick his ass' chant. Vince McMahon's music hit, and he walked out there with his signature strut.

"Boy, you can cut the tension in this ring with a knife, but I'm afraid that due to Mr. Lewis not being signed to the company, he won't be kicking anyone in the ass" he said, which earned him a lot of boos, and me giving him an evil smile.

"Funny thing, McMahon: I don't give a damn if I'm signed or not. I will kick his ass tonight, and I have no problems beating a few security guards down" I replied, which earned me a glare from him.

"Listen here you little punk-" I cut him off.

"No, listen here old man. You could have Satan protecting the piece of shit known as Alberto Del Rio, and I wouldn't give a damn!" I told him, and caused Triple H to come out to the ring.

"Woah there kid. I gotta say that I'm surprised that you stood up to my father in law, but he is right" he said, before giving me a smirk. "Although, since it is obvious that Mrs. Lee needs to get her hands on Layla, I'll give you the chance of a lifetime. You beat Del Rio in a match tonight, then you get to choose the stipulation for their match at Payback and you become a WWE superstar" he finished, and I just smirked.

"When you lose, Del Rio chooses the stipulation, and you have to join the Vince McMahon kiss my ass club" Vince said to me, and I rolled my eyes at him.

"I now know why Austin used to give you the stunner when ever he could. And trust me, I thought about hitting you with one the second you came out here" I told him, which earned me three heated glares, and two surprised looks. I just shrugged them off and turned towards Triple H.

"As for the offer, I'll set up a table out here so I can sign the contract after I win the match."

"Okay, since you seem confident, I'll let AJ show you where the men's lockerroom is."

"After she's done, she'll probably go and cry about how her knight will be beaten by a far superior man" Layla said, causing me to turn and give her a smile.

"Who exactly is this 'far superior man?' Cause it sure as hell ain't that bitch Del Rio" I told her, and AJ laughed a little as we went to the back so I could get ready for my match.

"Thanks for helping me out there" AJ said to me, with a small smile. I gave her a quick smile.

"No problem. I can't stand guys who insult women" I replied, and we just continued with with small talk until we reached our destination.

I knew I didn't have my ring gear, but I didn't care. I started to warm up until someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around to see that John Cena, CM Punk, Christian, and Undertaker were there.

"We're here to wish you luck tonight. We can't stand Del Rio, or Layla" Punk told me.

"Yeah, don't blame you guys. How the hell he won the US title is beyond me" I replied, which earned nods in agreement.

"What are you going to wrestle in?" Taker asked me.

"My jeans and sneakers. The one time I actually need my ring gear, and I left it at home."

"We could go and get you some of the stuff we had extra of" Christian offered, but I shook my head no.

"I got this, thanks though." I walked out to the gorilla position and handed the sound guy a CD that had 'I Will Not Bow' by Breaking Benjamin on it.

"Introducing first, Chase Lewis" Lillian Garcia said. Next out was Del Rio, and Ricardo did the introduction.


When he got into the ring, I just laid into him with a series of hard punches to his face. The ref forced me to back up, and when I did Del Rio raked my eyes and started to take control of the match by stomping down on my arms, my legs, and even kicking me in the head. After he was done, he picked me up and whipped me into the corner and ran at me at full speed. I barely managed to get out of the way, and he hit the turnbuckle with his chest. I hit him with a standing dropkick, and started to stomp down on his arms, legs, and kicking him in his head. I picked him up, and as I went to whip him into the corner, Mr. McMahon came out to the ring and started to distract the ref. Layla threw Del Rio a chair, but I took out of his hands and saw that Triple H came out to get Vince off the apron. I hit the chair on the mat and threw it at Del Rio as Triple H pulled Vince off the apron. The ref turned to see me on the ground, holding my head in pain and Del Rio holding the chair. He called for the bell, and gave me the win by DQ which pissed Del Rio off.


I rolled out of the ring and grabbed the mic.

"It's great becoming a WWE superstar in my hometown" I said, to the approval of the fans. They loved their hometown heroes here in Chi-Town. "Of course, this Sunday is Payback in Cleveland, Ohio, and I get to decide on a stipulation for the Divas title match. I could do the right thing and say that no one is allowed ringside, but that would be to easy for me" I started as Del Rio was glaring at me. I had a big smile on my face as I continued. "I could name myself as special guest ref for the match as well, but right now though, I just want to sign my new WWE contract" I finished, and laid the mic down on the announce table. Triple H handed me the contract and pen. After I signed it, I grabbed the mic again. "Del Rio, hope you don't have any plans to get involved on Sunday, cause I'm going to be keeping an eye out for you as the special guest referee" I told him, with a smile on my face. This was going to be a good week for me.


Time to list all that I changed for my story: WWE Champ: John Cena
World Heavyweight Champ: Dolph Ziggler, who is still a heel in my story
IC Champ: Dean Ambrose, not a big change, but still.
US Champ: Alberto Del Rio
Tag Champs: Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns
Diva's Champ: AJ Lee

With that done, I will explain why I changed the whole secret admirer storyline to where it was between Layla and AJ: AJ is much more suited to be the person who got duped more than Kaitlyn, and Layla would be a perfect heel in that situation in my honest opinion. As for the chair shot to the mat, I wanted to do it since Eddie was one of my favorite wrestlers at that time. Hope you all enjoyed the first chapter of Proving I belong, don't forget to review.
