Chapter 4: Punishment
It was three weeks until Unforgiven, and Mikel was about on his way to a full recovery. But, Cena had put him in a steel cage match against Triple H, in order to disrupt his focus and injure him worse. Mikel accepted the challenge, since it was in Houston and he felt that a win would get momentum in the match and for himself. Mikel looked up, got on his gloves, and walked out of the locker room to the arena…
(Triple H's music comes on)
On the way to the ring, weighing at 263 lbs, Triple H!!! were the announcer's words as Triple H came to the ring. This was one of his favorite matches, and he was one of those that never gave up. After doing his entrance, he looked on at the main walkway, and Mikel…
Mikel was all business as he went down to the ring. Despite his usual psyched up attitude, it was replaced with a stern yet determined look that said one thing: get out of my way. Mikel entered the ring, then watched the steel cage come down to the floor. The bell rang, signaling the match.
It started off as all usual matches did, especially when Triple H was in the ring. He started attacking Mikel with everything, including the cage walls. Mikel never gave in though, fending him off and even keeping his opponent in the ring every time he tried to get out. As Mikel was about to finish him off, he started feeling woozy and dizzy, probably coming from the head injury he had a couple of weeks ago. When he shook it off, he was then welcomed to a kick, then the Pedigree, which led to Triple H leaving the cage as the victor. Mikel was on the ground lying still, bleeding from the head. As he got up, and the cage came up as well, Cena then came out to the ring….
(sound of crashing of chairs, then a slam.)
Cena came and caused further damage to Mikel; more damage then any 16 year old could take or withstand. As the damage was done, Mikel was shown limping off and holding his head. "I need the doctor…now." He said as he walked out of the arena to the medical room, where he found that he had torn ligaments in his right leg, a sprained elbow, and a mild concussion. Mikel welcomed the news gracefully when he heard he wouldn't get the shot, and he would be out of action until April. "It's fine…I will get my shot at Wrestlemania." He said as he was taken to the ambulance, where he was then sent to Houston to start his treatments. It was the start of a long recovery…
Crazy, isn't it? Only a couple of chapters to go….
