Chapter 7- Hell in a Cell.
"Imagine stepping into a structure made of nothing but steel, surroundings that echo the pain and suffering of all those who have entered the evil construction. As you close your eyes you see the images of greats who had their careers shortened a chilling picture of legends that have had their careers ended. Satan himself feeds off the suffering and anguish that all that enter go through inside his demonic structure. He revels in the fear of some and the arrogance of others. Only one thing is certain when it comes to Hell in a Cell. No man who enters will ever be the same again."
"AND NOW WWE PRESENTS HELL IN A CELL"
"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Hell in a Cell Pay per View. Michael Cole along with WWE hall of famer Jim Ross and former WWE Champion JBL at ringside in a night where six of the WWEs top and young stars put their bodies, their careers their lives on the line."
"First of all I want to wish my longtime friend Jerry the King Lawler a full recovery. It is an honor and a privilege to keep your seat warm until the day you return. Tonight there will be two Hell in A Cell contests but none bigger than the one for the world heavyweight championship."
"You're Wrestling God and former WWE champion JBL is proud to be sat at ringside to witness history. We have an over 83% chance of seeing a new World champion and a 50% chance of seeing a champion who has never been champion before I am pumped up for this night."
…
The entire WWE universe had been buzzing with anticipation for weeks waiting for the six man Hell in A Cell match. All though she wasn't the most popular of WWE divas she had turned a lot of heads and got everyone talking about her ingenious match. There had been controversy and speculation along the way but a lot of peoples doubt was put to rest on the previous smackdown.
Tonight would all be about the six young men entering the evil Hell in a Cell.
…
The show started with the unpredictable and dysfunctional Team Hell No taking on the prime time players Titus o Neil and Darren Young. Daniel Bryan made Darren young tap out to the NO lock after a competitive tag team match.
After the match General Manager Eve Torres was shown in her office. She had a nervous look across her face. She knew that there was a huge risk of fatalities coming out of her main event.
There was a knock at the door. She answered come in and had a shocked look across her face as she saw two of the hell in cell competitors Alberto Del Rio and Wade Barrett.
The two of them stood either side of her trying to look intimidating. The Preston born Wade Barrett spoke in his strong British accent "Oi Eve"
The sexy brunette rolled her eyes and answered "That is hardly a way to speak to a lady."
An arrogant Alberto sniggered "When we see a lady we will show some manners but I don't see a lady here."
A disgusted look went across Eve's face as she tried to slap Alberto. Wade Barrett intercepted her wrist and laughed "Don't you think you have enough problems? You are sending six superstars to the possible death of their career."
She tried to stay strong and snapped "Well if the two of you don't want to risk your chance at the World title I can find suitable replacements."
Alberto shook his head and spoke with his Mexican accent "Oh no you are mistaken. We are not taking the risk you are."
A confused Eve lowered her voice a little and replied "What do you mean."
Barrett quickly snapped "You are the one taking the risk. If one of us gets seriously injured David Otunga will put arrangements to sue you personally."
Eve answered in a defensive fashion "No wait you can't"
Alberto and Barrett both laughed as they ignored her walking out of the room. Eve was left helpless and fearful not just for her job but for her livelihood.
….
Us champion Antonio Cesaro defeated the high flying Kofi Kingston to retain his championship. That match was followed by the first of the Hell in a cell matches for the evening. WWE champion CM punk defeated Ryback but that wasn't the full story. A huge assist went to rogue referee Brad Maddox. As Ryback had Punk set up for the shell shock Maddox gave him a low blow before Punk rolled him up for the fast counted win. The WWE universe was getting only a taste of the unpredictability of Hell in a Cell.
..
With the arena still in shocked at the ending to the WWE championship match the backstage area was shown again.
Matt striker said "Joining me at this time the World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus."
Striker asked the question "We just saw the WWE champion retain his championship is there any chance that you can retain the World championship"
Sheamus looked at Striker unimpressed at his question "Of course there is a chance. Sure I have to face five challengers, a fearless Sin Cara, the viper Randy Orton, Eve Torres's former pet project Cody Rhodes and of course Bertie and Barrett."
Sheamus started to laugh "Come to think of it once I have finished with them both Alberto and Wade are going to look like Bertie Barrett liquorish allsorts. I don't care how many people I have to defend against one, two, five, ten, or the entire cast of Oliver Twist. The difference between CM punk and I is I want to fight and I WILL FIGHT TO KEEP MY WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE."
…
Eve Torres paced up and down in her office frantically worried and waiting for the main event. She turned around startled as she saw the viper Randy Orton stood facing her.
She had an intimidated look across her face but still snapped "What do you want Randy?"
Orton methodically moved closer to her and said "I heard what Alberto and Barrett said to you earlier and I think I can help you."
Eve was shocked as she answered "How can you help me"
He replied instantly "I can give you some advice. I suggest that you get a good account and a good lawyer."
The gorgeous brunette snapped again "What is that supposed to mean?"
Orton grinned and said "Because I will seriously injure everyone in that match if it means me becoming the World champion. And I couldn't care less what happens to you in the process. So my advice to you is pack your bags and leave because after tonight you will be worth nothing."
The nine time World champion walked away smiling leaving Eve with tears running down her face.
Everything was starting to fall apart.
…
There was one more match before the main event. Intercontinental champion Rey Mysterio defended his championship against the Miz. It was another hard fought match which ended when Miz attempted to hit the skull crushing finale and was rolled up into a small package and the 3 count.
Everyone was ready for the main event.
…
Eve sat at her desk anxiously watching as the Hell in a cell structure was lowered down over the ring. She heard another knock at her door and shouted come in for what seemed the hundredth time.
Eve got to her feet very quickly as she saw the second generation superstar Cody Rhodes standing in front of her.
The divas champion was waiting for him to shout waiting for him to fly of the handle. Cody was walking fine but he was definitely feeling the effects of the handicap match that she had put him through only three days before.
Instead he was calm almost calculating what was awaiting him.
After a couple of moments he spoke "So Eve this is it. This is the night you have been waiting for your entire life. Was it worth it? Was it worth everything you have had to do? Was it worth all that you have put people through? Was it worth the pain and suffering that the six of us will go through out there tonight? You always knew what were to happen here tonight and deep down you cannot wait….. Face it Eve tonight all your dreams are going to come true at the expense of others. I hope you are satisfied."
Cody turned his back on Eve and walked out of the room. Eve stood frozen on the spot, the first sign of regret appearing in her eyes for a long time.
…..
"Ladies and gentlemen the time has arrived for six of the youngest brightest talents in the WWE."
"There is an ultimate goal of becoming the World heavyweight champion but to achieve that goal the winner will have to pay a very heavy price."
"I have been to the top of the mountain and I have tasted the sweet taste of gold. To become a champion you must be willing to sacrifice and tonight these six men gamble with their careers and play Russian roulette with their lives. Six men will enter all will suffer but only one will walk out as the World Heavyweight champion."
It is time for Hell in a cell.
End of chapter 7
