This Is War: Chapter 2
"No, bring your arm this way and straight out. Keep it straight or it won't be as powerful." Punk said to AJ as he showed her how to perform a clothesline move correctly.
"Okay, okay, can we try it now?" AJ said and Punk nodded.
Punk stayed where he was as AJ ran to the ropes, bouncing off of them then jumping over Punk then bouncing off the other side and performing the clothesline and Punk falls on his back. Punk groans in a pain a bit and AJ stands over him, looking worried.
"Are you okay? Did I hurt you?" AJ said and Punk sat up and chuckled.
"That's what I wanted you to do." Punk replied and AJ smiled and let out a small giggle.
"Okay, is that it for tonight?" AJ asked and Punk nodded.
Punk stood up as AJ grabbed her water bottle and towel. Punk then opened the ropes wider for AJ and she went through them and jumped down from the apron. Punk then followed and they both walked up the ramp together in silence.
AJ had agreed to Punk's offer of training her. After Punk found out that when everyone went to bed, the staff turned off the cameras for the night and went to bed too. Punk and AJ would then go to the ring and practice moves there. They have been training every night for the past three weeks and Punk always saw an improvement in AJ every night.
AJ also had her first match since training last week against Nikki Bella and she had won her first match. Punk was smiling as he watched on the TV in his room. AJ was then excited to train even more and get more in-ring action with other opponents. Punk was also excited for her, not thinking that he would have to soon stop training her when she had gotten to her best.
Punk walked AJ to her door and she leaned against the door and smiled.
"Thanks again for the training. I couldn't have won my first match without." AJ said and Punk smiled in response.
"No problem. I'm glad to be a help." Punk replied and AJ frowned a bit.
"What's going to happen if we get caught?" AJ asked and Punk shook his head.
"No one is going to fine us, don't worry about it." Punk said and AJ nodded.
Punk then bent down and hugged her goodbye and walked the other way when AJ had entered her room. Punk returned to his room, thinking of what he should show the small New Jersey native the next night. Punk showered then went to bed for the next morning
….
AJ smiled as she walked to the wall to see the matches today, receiving strange looks to her as well from her "co-workers". Once she had got up to the wall, she looked over the matches and didn't see her named and frowned a bit, but she did see Punk's name and looked over his opponent. It was Randy Orton. Right now, Randy was the strongest wrestler, winning all of the matches he's been in. AJ's smile had faded and worry replaced it.
AJ pursed her lips and walked the other way, back to her room and on the way there; she sees Punk and stops him. Punk is a bit taken off guard and looks around to receive looks from other wrestlers. No one ever stopped someone else in the hallway.
"Punk, you have a match tonight against Orton." AJ said and Punk sighed and shook his head.
"I'll be fine, don't worry about me." Punk said, but AJ still couldn't help, but worry about how he will be after the match.
….
Punk walked down the ramp to see the Viper standing in the middle of the ring. Punk stares at him until he gets through the ropes and the ref tells them to get ready and then the bell rings and they both lock up with each other.
AJ is in her room, watching the match on her TV. She missed hearing the fans cheer in the background, but now all you hear where the grunts of the wrestlers who were fighting. AJ heard more grunting of pain from Punk when Randy made contact with him than Randy. Randy knew that Punk was putting up a strong fight for Randy. She could tell that Randy was getting tired the longer the match went.
AJ watched as Punk tried to do his signature move, but Randy had elbowed him in the face and Punk grunted. Randy then took advantage of it and kicked, then punched, and then kicked one more time. Then Randy had put him in a submission move and Punk screamed in pain, AJ hated to hear that. She flinched with every scream became louder.
Punk eventually tapped out and the bell rang. Punk laid on the apron, exhausted and with pain running through him. Punk was heavily breathing from the match. He gripped his other arm that was still sore from the move. He slowly got up and made his way back up the ramp. AJ then ran out of her room to go to Punk's.
…..
"Man, you look so tired and worn out." AJ said as she cleaned up Punk a little.
"Yeah, I'm really exhausted." Punk said with his eyes droopy as he laid in bed.
"Don't worry; you'll be well in like two days." She said and Punk grinned slightly.
"Thanks for taking care of me." Punk said and AJ smiled at him.
"It's for what you did you me so I'm returning the favor." AJ said as she continued to clean him then fed him some soup. AJ then left Punk's room and returned back to her room and rested for the next day.
