The Week Before Backlash

Disclaimer: Not Mine

Summery: A week before Backlash, Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff puts Trish Stratus in an inter-gender tag match with Spike Dudley against the Dudleyz. What happens when Jeff Hardy tries to make Bischoff change the match?

"Mr. Bischoff, you can not put Trish and Spike in a match agaist the Dudleys." Jeff Hardy told Eric Bischoff. He had jus put Trish Stratus, his on-screen girlfriend and Spike Dudley in an inter gender tag match. A week before Trish defended her Women's Championship against Jazz.

"Jeff, I know you are concerned about Trish, but my Cheif Of Staff requested the match. There is nothing I could do." Eric Bischoff said sitting at his desk.

"Bischoff, I don't care if Vince McMahon requested the match. I demand you to change it." Jeff said. He could not stand to see Trish be put threw a table by the Dudleys.

"Jeff, I told you before, I can not change it. I almost forgot, Sean has also requested that you are banned from ringside."

"AND YOU AGGRED WITH HIM!! BISCHOFF, YOU ARE A NO GOOD-"

"I WILL NOT BE TALKED TO LIKE THAT! JEFF HARDY, YOU'RE FIRED!!!"

Jeff did not believe it. He just got up and left.

As Jeff was looking for Trish's locker room, (He was sharing with her tonight) he couldn't believe what had happened a few minutes ago. He did not know what to say to Trish.

When he found her locker, she was getting ready for her "match" tonight.

"Hi, Trish." He said nervously. He hoped she didn't notice it.

"Hi, Jeff come in. Any luck with Bischoff?"

"Hate to say it, But no."

"Jeff, please tell me what happend." She said. She knew something bad had happend in Bischoff's Office.

"Bischoff fired me for trying to change your "match" I tried talking to him, I didn't care if Vince requested it but he didn't change it." he said

Trish was sielent. She new Jeff ever since she came to the WWE, then WWF. He had helped her train for her toughest matches. Know she wouldn't have him around to rescue her form 2 on 1 attacks like he did when Richards and Victoria double-teamed her.

"Trish, are you OK?" He asked holding her hand for comfort.

She didn't say anything.

"Trishy? You can tell me." Jeff said.

"I am going to miss you, Jeff." She said quietly with a tear in her eye.

"Trish, I'm going to miss you to." he said hugging her.

"Will there be a chance that Bischoff will re-hire you?" She asked him

"I don't know, Trish. Could you promise me one thing?"

"OK."

"Don't let Bubba and D-Von put you threw a table like they did 3 years ago."

"I don't know, Jeff. What if I can't defend myself and they put me through a table." She asked. Going through a table hurt so much. She experinced this herself at Backlash 2000. 3 years ago.

"Trishy, please don't worry about it. Before I went to Bischoff's office I asked Rob and Kane to watch out for you. They will come out when things get ugly. You can trust them.." He said

Trish didn't say anything. She just smiled. She know new that at least she had some protection tonight.

Trish watched in fright as her former tag team parther Bubba Ray had just drilled Spike with a huge Powerbomb. Know she was Bubba's target.

"You know what you have to do Bubba." Cheif Morely yealled. Then she felt 200pounds of Bubba splash into her. She fell to the mat. She could feel her ribs break. She Hoped Rob and Kane came soon.

"Put her through a table, Bubba." She herd Morely scream.

"D-Von, get the tables! We have to do this." She Herd Bubba scream at his half-Brother, D-von

"I don't want to!!' She herd D-Von say.

"Fine, I'll get the table!" She herd Morely yell. She could feel Bubba pull her by the hair and here bubba and d-von come to a agrement. But through her horror, She saw D-Von climb to the top rope.

Then She herd the crowd cheer and Rob Van Dam and Kane, Just like Jeff had said, came to her rescue. As Rob and Kane fought the Dudley's she felt someone raise her by her arms. To her horror, it was Jazz. She forgot about Jazz. She thought Bischoff gave her the night off. The pain of the "Bitch Clamp" sored through her body like never before. The pain knocked her out as she felt herself hit face first on a table. She did not move. She did not know how she would be able to keep her title at Backlash.
