Chapter 1: Monday Night Mayhem

~---~

Jack Swagger laughed as he walked the halls of the WWE. That Miz-Tard....

As he passed by The Miz, he couldn't help but chuckle. Why must he try to flirt with everyone? Jack sighed as the bell rung and it was his time to shine.

~----~

"The following contest is set for one fall and is a No Disqualification Match for the #1 Contendership to the United States Championship". The Ring Announcer said.

"Introducing first, Jack Swagger!"

Jack walked down the ramp while wondering who his opponent could be. Not Primo, or Carlito, maybe Kofi, or even that Chris Masters. Yeah, maybe that guy. He thought as he rolled in the ring.

Evan Bourne's theme went off and the crowd went wild. Not this amateur..... Jack sighed as Evan tagged the fans' hands and rolled into the ring.

Evan stared Jack down as Jack merely glared back. As soon as the bell rung Jack rushed and knocked Evan down with a brutal clothesline. Evan tried to regain himself as Jack picked him up and tossed him into the turnbuckle.

Evan's head bounced off the turnbuckle as he dropped to the mat and Jack continued his assault with a fury of kicks and punches. Jack picked him up and tossed Evan out the ring.

Evan held his stomach as Jack proceeded to grab a chair. Jack came over with the chair but Evan thought fast and dropkicked the chair straight into Jack's face. Jack stumbled to his feet and rested on the boundary as Evan got to his feet.

They both stood up and Jack was the first to throw a punch but Evan dodged and dropkicked Jack into the steel post. Jack tumbled to the ground and Evan went on the turnbuckle.

He waited for Jack to get up. As Jack stood up Evan went for a diving crossbody. Jack moved out the way at the last second and Evan's abdomen collided with the boundary. Jack capitalized on this and nailed a big boot to Evan's skull.

Jack rolled Evan into the ring and went for the pin. 1.....2.....-kickout-. Jack got pissed off as the ref told him two and he picked up Evan. Evan reversed his slam into a hurricarana with Jack's leg's hooked. 1...2...-kickout-

Evan dropkicked Jack back to the mat and he signaled to the fans. He climbed the turnbuckle and proceeded for his finisher. He went for the Shooting Star Press but Jack slipped out the way at the last second and Evan collided with the mat.

Jack picked him up and put him the the gutwrench position. Defenseless, Evan could do no reversal due to the lack of oxygen after missing his finisher. Jack lifted Evan up and dropped him with the Gutwrench Powerbomb. It was over, and Evan knew it as he remained motionless and Jack went for the cover. 1....2....3 and the bell rung signaling that Jack won.

Here is your winner and the new #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Championship, Jack Swagger!

Jack merely smirked as the ref held his hand up and Evan remained motionless in the center of the ring. He slipped out the ring and up the ramp, proud of his destruction and achievement.

~---~

As Jack pushed through the curtains and into the lounge, he was met by none other than the United States Champion, The Miz.

"What could you possibly want at a time like this?" Jack asked as the Miz.

"I'm here just to tell you that next week I'll crush you and retain my title." Miz said Jack laughed.

"What I did to Evan was merely just a fraction of what I'll do to you next week." Jack explained.

"We'll see." Miz said

"Sure, now get out my way." Jack said and pushed Miz into a bunch of crates before walking away.

Miz threw the crates off of him with a pissed expression.

"That Jack is gonna get it, and next week I'll prove my point." Miz said out loud and walked off.

Chris Jericho knocked on Maryse's locker room and waited patiently. She opened it and did not look amused as he smirked. "How would you like to be the first to go out with the Sexy Beast?" He asked and smirked.

She simply closed the door in his face.

"I'll get that woman one day." He vowed.
