A/N: I might switch the real names and ring names from time to time so I hope there's no confusion.
It was a Monday Night Raw like any other for the WWE superstars. They were all getting ready for matches that would take place later on. Jack was no different he had just finished taping up his wrists and was getting ready for his match which would start in about 20 minutes. His match was up first but they always had an in ring promos that would take about 10 or 15 minutes, then commercial about another five or so so it evened it self out.
He headed out of the locker room he saw Cena,Punk and company heading over to gorilla to get ready for their promo he knew he had a little time to kill so he went to talk to his opponent Sheamus about the finisher for the match. He knew Sheamus probably was at the catering table and so he went over to the catering table and sure enough he saw him
"Hey Stephen, he said coming over to him ,"
"Yeah fella," Sheamus said with his signature Irish accent.
"What's the finisher for tonight," he asked making sure he knew what to do, Jack never wanted to make any mistakes.
"I believe the plan is you beat me with a powerbomb after I get distracted by Vickie," Sheamus stated matter of factly.
"Ok, cool I just wanted to make sure," he said as he got up as he saw Vickie and Dolph sitting and talking at a nearby table. He walked over to the two and sat down at their table.
"Hello you two so what are you two conversing about," he said with his signature lisp.
"Oh nothing really just talking about my interview after your match and my match later on tonight against Mason," Dolph said giving Jack a smile. Ever since Jack's addition to the group these three were inseparable they traveled,,slept, and ate together. If people would know any better they'd say these these three were married or something.
"Well you better be careful Mason is a madman," he said with a worried expression.
"Don't worry I'll be fine this is what we do you know, replied Dolph.
"Yeah, Yeah, just be careful you wouldn't want to mess up that pretty little face." he teased.
"Shut up man," Dolph said as he couldn't hide the smirk on his face. "Don't you and Vickie have to get out there for your match,"
"Yeah come on Vickie we're on in a few minutes ," Jack said as he and Vickie got up and started walking toward the gorilla.
"Hey Jake, Dolph said walking up too Jack. "Good luck tonight," he said as he reached out his fist for Jack to hit with his own.
"Thanks," he said.
"Come on Jake we have a match," she said as they started walking away.
When they were out of Dolph earshot Jack spoke.
"God Vickie,you suck why didn't you say anything back there. He said hiding his face with his hands briefly.
"Excuse me but, I wanted you two too talk it's so obvious you two are in love. She said with a smile.
"Get off it I do not love him". Jake said with a bit of red evident on his cheeks.
"You so do," she continued.
"I do not he fired back now shut up," he half whispered as they arrived at gorilla position with John Cena just passing him by.
Vickie heckled the young man the whole time during commercial.
"Vickie if you say another word I'm gonna switch your shampoo with syrup,
"Ok, fine I was only stating the truth," she said but really did stop because she wouldn't put it passed Jake to switch her shampoo.
Then he heard beginning of his theme song signaling him and Vickie to head through the curtain.
"And the winner of this match Jack Swagger," replied Lillian Garcia as Jack's hand was raised victorious. He then exited the ring to meet Vickie down below. Then they started there walked backstage that is until they got camera feed from backstage and they saw Josh Mathews so they stood in the middle of the ramp way to watch.
"Ladies and Gentleman, my guest at this time former United States champion Dolph Ziggler. Now Dolph how does it feel to have lost your United States Championship last week at TLC but now have to face Mason Ryan tonight".
"Shut up Josh I'm sick of your voice. But you know what I will express my feelings because it sucks that I have to put into a match with this hideous beast of a man. When I should be getting my rematch against Ryder. I have a rematch clause but does that matter? No they want to but me in a match with this brute Mason Ry-"
He didn't get to finish his promo as per storyline Mason would come out and beat him down. Everybody including Jack and Vickie watched on as Mason was punching the crap out of Dolph Ziggler. Then he picked Dolph up and thew him across the backstage area . Vickie and Jack were just about to go and help him just then the unthinkable happened. A large piece of the lighting equipment came crashing down straight down until it hit Dolph who was starting to sit up point blank on the head. Seconds later the camera feed was cut off.
Then Jack looked at Vickie with the most scared expression of his life and asked, "Was that apart of the storyline," He didn't wait for her answer though as he ran to the backstage area with Vickie in tow. When he got within feet of the interviewing area,his heart wrenched. There he saw John Laurinitis along with EMT's and trainers. Vickie was already in shock and started to shake because she just knew something horrible had happened and she just couldn't go through something like this again. As Vickie expected the worse and kept her distance Jack ran over and tried to see Dolph but he only saw part of him and he was unmoving but then he was held back by backstage personnel telling him not to go over there.
He then went over to Laurinitis and tears started to flow from his eyes.
"This is some damn storyline Laurinitis,right, But John didn't answer he just looked vaguely onto the ground. "I said was this some god damn storyline! He shouted as he grabbed onto Laurinitis' jacket. This time John spoke.
"No I'm afraid it's not," Jack let go of John's jacket and they both looked over to see an EMT look their way as he shook his head and started putting away his equipment.
He ran over to the EMT's pushing them out of the way. Then he saw him Dolph, His head was severely busted open and he had lost so much blood. He went down to his knees and help Dolph in his arms and at that moment his tears started coming down like rain. Then Vickie he's not sure when she walked over knelled down beside them and her tears started to flow just as his were.
