January 29th, Smackdown, On-Screen:
It was the main event, with Daniel Bryan and Kane finishing their rivalry in a casket match, and the show had just got back from commercials. Daniel Bryan had Kane in a side headlock position, when the Big Red Monster stood up.
"And the man who lived his dream at Wrestlemania last year, Daniel Bryan, and rolled in this match up with Kane here, live on Smackdown." Cole said as Bryan struck Kane with kicks, stunning the taller wrestler. However Kane was able to straight kick Bryan in the midsection, making Daniel to hunch over. Kane bounced off the ropes to drive Daniel's head into the mat with a DDT.
Kane stared at the crowd for a brief moment before standing up, to quickly kick Daniel while he was down. Then Kane lifted a thumbs up to signal the referees to open the casket. As they did and looked inside, the refs jumped backwards in shock. Some people in the crowd suddenly did the same, the rest of the audience followed suit when the titantron showed Jackal in his surcoat lying down with his eyes closed. The half mask again covering the right side of his face.
"Oh my!" Cole exclaimed as King made a high pitched noise. Byron just sat in shock. Kane slowly walked towards the casket, his eyes wide.
"Kane looks like he is seeing a ghost!" Cole said.
Jackal's visible eye flashed open, making his older brother stop in his tracks, Jackal then sat up, making the crowd cheer slightly. His head turned, with an cold look etched on his face, towards Kane who didn't know what to do.
The Lone Monster exited the casket and stood up on the apron, still keeping his eyes on Kane. Entering over the top rope Jackal walked to stand in front of his older brother. He had to look down slightly, as his brother has gotten smaller with age.
Jackal just smirked at his brother before noticing Bryan was going to do his Running Knee finisher. He quickly pushed Kane away and tightly grabbed Daniel's throat before picking him up for a Chokeslam.
The crowd immediately booed and heckled Jackal for his actions, the giant didn't pay attention to them, he just stood in the ring when the lights went out. When they came back on, Kane was the only man standing. He searched around him to find himself alone with Daniel Bryan, he laughed maliciously and walked towards Bryan, only for him to grab the throat of the American Dragon. Another Chokeslam was given to Bryan. The crowd booing heavily. Kane just dragged Bryan over to the casket, the referees opening it.
"No! Not this way!" Cole shouted.
Kane then unceremoniously pushed Daniel into the casket before shutting it. Ending the match.
Kane stood in the middle of the ring, as his music played, and raised his arms before throwing them down, causing orange fire to jump from the steel posts. The show ended with the Big Red Monster standing tall.
Smackdown Fallout:
"Be careful!" One ref shouted as a full team of referees pushed a casket backstage. It was the same casket that Bryan was pushed into earlier in the day, the refs were able to get it backstage without hitting it on something before quickly opening it. The leader of the Yes! movement practically jumped out of coffin, the referees advise him to calm down.
Daniel leaned against the casket breathing heavily and occasionally coughing. He didn't spot the massive giant sprinting towards him.
A massive big boot caused Bryan to fall to the floor, his jaw hurting him immensely. The camera showed Jackal with his surcoat still on him, though his mask is gone. The referees tried to get Jackal to stand back however the Lone Monster just crouched next to Daniel's head with a murderous glare.
Surprisingly, Jackal stood up and quickly walked away with an annoyed growl. The camera ended on Daniel Bryan groaning in pain, with referees checking on him.
Next Week, February 2nd Raw:
It was the main event of the night, Seth Rollins vs Daniel Bryan. At the start of the night, The Authority manipulated Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins to fight each other and the winner of that match would face Roman Reigns at Fastlane for his spot in the main event against Brock Lesnar. It was a fantastic match with Daniel Bryan's strikes and technical ability, and Rollins using his athleticism to keep up.
It was late in the match when Daniel tried to lock in the Yes! Lock.
"Daniel Bryan, looking for the Yes! Lock but no Rollins escapes." Cole commentated as J&J Security were on the apron gaining the referee's attention. The ref stood in front of the two men, yelling at them to get of the apron.
Rollins went for a clothesline but Bryan ran under it and stopped before he could hit the ref. The goat of the WWE sighed and tried to get the refs attention when Rollins dropkicked Bryan into ref, making Mike Chioda bump heads with J&J Security, and knock them to the floor.
"Oh! J&J to the floor, Rollins knocked Bryan into the referee, who in turn knocked out Mercury and Noble." Cole said as the ref was on the floor, not moving.
"The ref's out!" King cried out. Rollins turned Bryan around and went for a Pedigree.
"Rollins looking for the Pedigree, and no! Bryan escapes." Cole said as Daniel flipped Rollins over himself and ran towards the ropes before running back for the Running Knee. The crowd exploded as did the commentators.
"Running Knee! Running Knee! Bryan's going to win this!" Cole screamed as Daniel went for the pin, it was then the crowd realised the referee wasn't counting and boo'd. Daniel realised this and went to check on Chioda.
"But the ref's still out. You could could to hundred right now." King said. Knowing that he had a chance, Big Show quickly entered the ring. He then started to ready his KO punch.
"Oh come on!" Cole shouted in annoyance.
"This isn't fair, why is he getting involved." King was equally annoyed by the Big Show, and so were the audience. Their boos was filling the arena. The only person enjoying this was JBL.
"Hahaha! What a smart giant! This is what being a good friend and employer is gentlemen, you should take notes." JBL said with a smug look on his face.
The crowd tried to warn Daniel but before Big Show could throw his KO Punch the lights cut out, leaving the arena bathed in darkness. When they turned back on Jackal was in ring with his surcoat and blue mask, the crowd booing him for his attacks for the past couple of weeks. The 6'10 giant turned his head to Big Show, who quickly let his arm drop. His face started to sweat as Jackal glared at him.
"What's Jackal doing here?!" Cole rhetorically asked. The Big Show left the ring and Jackal followed him with his visible eye. He turned to see Bryan run at him and wasn't fast enough to dodge the Running Knee which struck him in the sternum.
"Running Knee!" Cole said. Jackal stumbled and fell to one knee clutching his chest as Daniel lifted his index fingers in the air, indicating another Running Knee was coming. The crowd was chanting his favourite catchphrase.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Bryan ran towards the Lone Monster, but in a massive display of speed and strength, Jackal jumped into the air and performed a Jumping Knee Strike, the clap sound echoed making the crowd cringe and scrambled Daniel's mind. The leader of the Yes! Movement stumbled backwards, giving the Jackal the chance to pick Daniel Bryan up for a quick Tombstone Piledriver, the crowd booed mercilessly.
"Not again! Why does Jackal keep attack Bryan?!" Cole questioned in an angered tone. Jackal then picked Rollins by his hand and dragged his prone body over Bryan's hand. The Lone Monster then left the ring and walked up the ramp.
It was then the ref had woken up and dragged himself over to the two men and counted.
1!
…
2!
"Oh come on! Not like this!" King cried out.
3!
The Second Coming
"Here is your winner! Seth Rollins!" Garcia announced as Big Show cheered from the ring side but quickly saw Rollins was still out like a light. He entered the ring and picked him up, J&J Security too entered the ring, holding their heads from the impact earlier. The four men exited the ring, though Seth was still knocked for a loop and had to be helped to leave the arena. The show ended with Rollins lifting his arms in victory and the crowd shouting.
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
February 5th, Smackdown:
The show opened with a recap of what happened on RAW before the camera showed the ring was set up for Miz TV.
I Came To Play
The crowd booed as The Miz and his personal assistant, Damien Mizdow walked onto the stage, though Miz had to stop his assistant from copying him.
"And this is a much anticipated Miz TV tonight, The Miz and his guest tonight Daniel Bryan who has been suffering from attacks and cheap shots by the Jackal for the past couple of weeks. Hopefully tonight we'll get our answers." Cole said as The Mz ordered Damien to stay at ring side and entered the ring himself. Byron Saxton and Jerry 'The King' Lawler made fun of that. Miz entered the ring with a his unique microphone and spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Miz TV!" He paused as the crowd booed slightly, "My guest at this time, oh boy my guest is going to be…" He trailed off as the crowd started to chanting.
We want Mizdow! We want Mizdow!
Miz just calmy said back "But you have Mizdow, he's right there sitting out of the way like a personal assistant should be doing." The crowd now booed more loudly.
"Now as I was saying. My guest tonight is someone who's been on this show before. On his past RAW, he was so close to beating Seth Rollins for the chance to face Roman Reigns at Fastlane. However he was attacked by a massive monster, the Jackal." The audience again booed at the mention of the giant's name.
"So without further ado. Let me introduce my guest, Daniel Bryan!" The crowd now cheered, nearly taking the roof off of the arena.
Flight of the Valkyries
The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion walked out of the curtain to a standing ovation before skipping sideways down the ramp while pumping his arms into the air.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
He entered the ring and got a microphone, the crowd still chanting 'Yes! The Miz just looked at the crowd.
"Please be quiet, I need to ask the important questions, so please shut up." The crowd now booed but Miz just turned to Bryan who smiled a little.
"So Bryan, former United States champion, former Tag Team champion and former WWE World Heavyweight champion. I'm just going to ask the question on everyone's mind. Why does Jackal keep attacking you? After all this time, Jackal comes back to the WWE, he gets eliminated by you, then for some reason he eliminated you from the rumble. And for the last two weeks has attacked you again and again. So I ask again, Why is Jackal attacking you?"
Daniel just smiled a little and raised his microphone to his lips.
"Well, Miz I don-" Before he could continue Daniel was interrupted by Seth Rollins's music.
The Second Coming
The crowd were voicing their displeasure again when Rollins and J&J Security walked out, and down the ramp. His music stopped as he entered the ring and glared at the two men.
"What the hell is going on?! No one cares about Daniel Bryan! He lost on monday to me, he got eliminated at the Royal Rumble! And yet I'm Mr. Money in the Bank, and I am facing Roman Reigns at Fastlane, who I will beat, to face Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion!" Rollins said with a smug and confident grin and the crowd booing around him.
The Miz just frowned. "I don't believe I asked you to be out here, Mr. Money in the Bank. Why is everyone rude in this company?" Some parts of the crowds laughed and Daniel just smiled with the crowd.
The Truth Reigns
It was then Roman Reigns' theme song had hit to a loud chorus of mixed reactions, he walked out of the crowd, making the mixed reactions even louder.
"And here's the winner of the Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns and guys, I can't imagine he's very happy about this." Cole said to Saxton and Lawler, who agreed.
"Well, if the spot you earned, by beating twenty nine other superstars, is in jeopardy because of your boss. I would be annoyed to." Saxton said.
Roman entered the ring and glared at all three men, but ended glaring at Rollins before he spoke.
"I don't think, you should be worry about getting interviewed. I think you should be worried about getting your teeth knocked from your mouth at Fastlane." Roman could barely be heard over the booing and jeering crowd, however he didn't react to it. Seth smugly smiled and retorted, but was interrupted by a Jackal's howl before he started.
Sober by Tool
Blue flames sprouted up as the lights turned off. Jackal walked out to a crowd of boos with some cheers from the hardcore fans, he walked to the ring and entered the ring. All of the men walked back a little bit, except Roman Reigns who just walked in front of Jackal, the crowd gave a mixed reaction as Jackal's music faded away. The two glared at each other before Jackal just walked away from Reigns and towards Bryan. The giant stopped in front of Daniel, his glare intensifying. Miz, trying to get the answers for his show, timidly walked beside Jackal and Daniel Bryan.
"E-Excuse me Jackal, sir?" The crowd laughed at the cowering Miz, Jackal just closed his visible eye in annoyance before opening it, but it was glaring at the Miz.
The Miz noticed this and looked down at his feet before saying. "Uhhhh, so why did you attack Daniel Bryan?" He then threw the microphone in front of Jackal's face, annoying the giant even more, and it was visible on his uncovered face. One of the camera men spotted this and it showed Jackal's murderous glare on the titantron. Daniel just sighed softly to himself before warning Miz.
"Miz, we've been through alot, so out of respect I think you need to exit the ring." Thankfully for the Miz, he followed that advice quickly as Roman Reigns superman punched Rollins, knocking Mr. Money in The Bank down for the count.
"And Reigns with the Superman Punch, and the same to J&J Security!" Cole cried out as Roman roared at them.
"You think you can take my spot! You ain't nothing!" Reigns turned around to do the same but was met with a Bicycle Knee Strike from Jackal, Reigns fell to the floor, unconscious. However when Jackal turned around he was met with a dropkick to his knee, making the giant drop to one knee.
"And now Bryan! Dropkick to the knee, the giant is down to one knee!" Saxton got his input in. Daniel then called for the Running Knee and went to hit it when the lights cut out. They came back on to reveal Jackal was gone, the crowd booed but Bryan was just disappointed. He hoped Jackal hadn't turned into a coward but when he turned around, he found himself knocked out by a recovered Seth Rollins with his briefcase.
"And Rollins from behind! Jumping Bryan with the briefcase." Cole said as the show went to commercials.
Later:
It was backstage with a camera showing Renee Young with a smile on her face.
"Welcome back to Smackdown and welcome my guest at this time, Daniel Bryan." The crowd cheered as Bryan walked into view while holding his head a little.
"So Daniel, tonight we hoped to find the answers to why the Jackal has been attacking you these past few weeks but Miz TV, as we saw, broke down into a fight. You attacked Jackal tonight but he escaped and Rollins knocked you out tonight. You seem to have enemies around you, what will you do?" Renee asked Bryan who smirked and scoffed lightly.
"Well Renee, thank for recapping something that just happened a few minutes ago." Some of the crowd laughed, while Renee showed a small smile. "One thing that is bothering me constantly, is why is Jackal such a coward?" The crowd 'oohed'. "The Jackal is a monster, a giant, that can destroy you in a matter of minutes, he then leaves for Japan. He comes back and now doesn't even finish fights, I've been to Japan and they don't make you cowards. So the question is 'What should Daniel Bryan do?', the right question is 'Will Daniel Bryan knock the Jackal out?'. Do you know what the answer to that is Renee?" Daniel asked as the crowd started to chant the answer.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Daniel lifted his arms into the air and pumped them while saying.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" Daniel stopped and walked away, Renee just turned and smiled kindly at the camera.
"Well, back to you guys."
They didn't see the masked face of Jackal behind them, looking at Daniel Bryan's retreating form, a smirk of appeared on his half-covered face.
Well that was the second chapter, how was it? As you can see, Jackal has changed the outcome of events, now Daniel is looking for a fight. Will the Jackal accept the challenge?
