"Tonight, Alberto Del Rio and David Otunga will be teaming up against Andrew in a no DQ handicap match" Brad Maddox said, and the crowd started to boo, while I started to grin evilly. When it was time for their match, Otunga and Del Rio were waiting in the ring for Andrew. When he went out, I snuck into the ring from the crowd and while they were completley unaware of me being there, I hit them both with a clothesline to the back of their heads. Andrew hopped into the ring and we started to take them apart. I hit the TKO on Otunga through the announce table and Andrew hit Del Rio with a spear and got the pin. I grabbed a mic and got back into the ring.

"Del Rio, Otunga, this Friday, you will meet me and Andrew in a special guest referee tag team match. And the special guest ref will be..." I started as Light It Up started to play and AJ came out in a stripped referee shirt. Gotta admit, the stripes look amazing on women refs in my humble opinion. "AJ Lee" I finished as the crowd started to chant 'yes!' and Raw ended with me, Andrew, and AJ all in the ring.


We walked to the back, and we were sporting matching grins. This was going to be a fun match on Friday. April went to take a shower, leaving me and Andrew to discuss our plans for Friday.

"Andrew, on Friday, I want Del Rio. Okay?" I said to him, and he nodded his head in agreement. Del Rio was going to be in for a surprise when I show him just how cold I truly can be. Andrew tapped me on the shoulder, and I saw that the people from the WWE app were standing there.

"What is your plan for Friday?" The cameraman asked, and I just gave him an evil smirk.

"Del Rio is going to learn first hand that messing with my AJ is a sure fire way for me to hit him with the Ice Dagger" I replied, and they gave me a confused look before leaving. Andrew just had a smirk on his face.

"So, I take it you and April are officially going out" he said, and I just gave him a short nod.

"Okay, just a fair warning though: she is like a sister to me, so you break her heart-" he continued till I cut him off.

"Andrew, we had matches in Japan. Now, I have no plans of breaking her heart no matter what, but have some faith that I'm NOT going to be a dumbass though" I replied, causing him to give me a grin.

"I have faith. Just needed to let you know and hear you admit you were a dumbass." He was giving me a chesire cat sort of grin, and I really wanted to hit him for that. He and I were the best of friends, and when ever we had a match, there were 'this is wrestling' and 'this is awesome' chants. For the hardcore matches, 'holy shit' chants broke out often.

"James, are you okay?" April asked me, shaking me from my thoughts and with concern lacing her voice. I started to blush when I saw she was wearing a white dress with a black stripe down the side. Completely forgot we were going out for dinner tonight.

"I'm fine April. You took my breath away again" I replied, and she gave me a playful eye roll before kissing me on the lips. My face is making tomatoes jealous with how red it is. I put my arm around April's shoulder, and went to the car. She was trying to get as close as humanley possible.

"April, since I forgot to grab a suit, we need to stop by the hotel" I told her, and she started to pout. I chuckled a little bit, and she started to giggle. We got back to the hotel, and I found a simple grey suit and got changed into it. I may hate wearing suits, but this is mainly for April, so I'll deal with wearing it. We went to a nice little restraunt, and ordered our food. April and I were sitting in a booth, and I really wanted April to sit next to me. Some of the people looking at her were undressing her with their eyes, which was pissing me off. April must have noticed this, as she grabbed my hand in an effort to get me to calm down a little.

"James, what's wrong?" She asked me, and I looked her in the eyes. God her eyes are beautiful.

"The way people are looking at you" I replied, and she gave me a confused look.

"What do you mean?"

"They're undressing you with their eyes, and it is pissing me off." She rolled her eyes at that comment, which wasn't a good sign for me.

"James, you're just imagining it. You don't need to worry."

"April, I've seen other guys undress women with their eyes. The people looking at you are doing the same thing." She let out a short sigh, and we continued eating in silence. I really hate not seeing her smile, especially when I'm the reason she isn't. The waiter came over with a drink courtesy of a secret admirer for April, who gave me a small shrug. The only thing I really want is for her to smile again, so if she likes it, then there will be zero complaints from me. A couple of minutes after the drink was dropped off, someone walked up to the table and looked at April. The protective guy in me wanted to show up, but I needed to let April handle this.

"Sup baby" the guy said to April, who just looked at him uninterested in what he had to say.

"Is there something I can help you with?" She asked him, in a calm voice.

"Actually there is. You see, someone like you should really be smiling more often and I'm the man who will make you smile."

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but I already have a boyfriend." I was positive I was blushing after hearing April say 'boyfriend.' Too bad I was a complete dumbass and ruined her night though.

"Please, he ain't going to know about us as long as you don't tell him."

"Actually he will. He is sitting right behind you" April said, and the guy looked at me. He started to laugh, which caught April by surprise. Yeah, not exactly the one who has the body of a God so to say. Hell, I really didn't have that much muscle so a lot of people mistook me for being weak.

"Bitch, he wouldn't be able to fight me. You're better off with me" the guy said to April, and I stood up and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned to see me leveling him with a death glare, which made him piss his pants.

"I'm giving you one chance to apologize for insulting her and leave while you still can" I said, in the coldest voice I could muster. He immideatly apologized to April and booked it. I walked over to April, and pulled her into a hug until someone tapped me on the shoulder.

"What is it?" I asked the guy, who turned out to be our waiter.

"There is an area to dance over on the right" he said, and I took April over there. We started to slow dance to Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx. April started to smile after Amazed by Lonestar came on, which caused me to smile. We stopped dancing after Mirrors by Justin Timberlake was finished and went back to the hotel. When we got there, I just took off the suit jacket, tie, and dress shirt without even thinking until April gave me quick hug.

"Sorry about not believeing you earlier" she said, in a small tone of voice, and I let out a short sigh.

"April, I ruined the date with my over protectiveness, so it's my fault" I replied, and we bickered about whose fault it was until April gave me a kiss to shut me up.

"James, you were looking out for me. You don't need to blame yourself" she said, as I looked into her eyes. Have I mentioned how beautiful her eyes are? Or just how hypontizing they were? Or how her smile was beautiful and hypontizing at the same time?

"April, if I didn't let it bother me you would have been smiling the entire night. So, it is my fault cause you weren't smiling until the tail end" I shot back, and she rolled her eyes playfully.

"We will settle this the old fashion way: a round of Mortal Kombat. Loser is at fault for how the date turned out, okay?"

"It works for me." We ended up playing a few rounds of Mortal Kombat because of April not wanting me to throw the games. In the last round of the night, I lost due to me sneezing and finding a way for my character to walk off the ledge. April started to giggle, so I carried her to the bed and started to tickle her. After a couple of seconds, April was on top of me, and giving me a nice long kiss. When we parted, she went to take a shower and I just stayed laying down. After a few minutes, I went and changed into an old shirt and a pair of shorts. April came out in her grey batman shirt I got her and a pair of my sweatpants. She looked like... no, she IS an angel.

"James, let's go to sleep" April said to me, shaking me out of my thoughts. I pulled her into a hug and she fell asleep pretty quickly. I stayed awake, just admiring how peaceful she looked when she was asleep. After a few minutes, I felt my eyelids start to close, and I pulled April even closer to me as I finally drifted off to sleep.


"Tonight's main event will be a no DQ match, where the winning team will go on to Money In The Bank and challenge challenge The Shield for their tag team championship" Vickie Guerrero stated, as the crowd was booing her. After hearing the words no DQ come out of her mouth, I pulled April into a protective hug, before whispering "no one will lay a hand on you as long as I'm around" in her ear. She gave me a small smile before leaving to get changed into her ref gear and I got changed into my red wrestling tights and my black gloves. Tonight, Del Rio and Otunga. Sunday, The Shield.

"Just like old times, right James" Andrew asked from behind me, and I turned and gave him a small grin.
"Yes it is. Let us show them why we were called The Militia back in Japan" I replied, and he just chuckled a little. AJ went out first, to VERY loud cheers. When the losers... I mean, Del Rio and Otunga went out, they were booed without mercy. We went out last, and there was a slight 'kick their asses' chant breaking out. Otunga and I started the match out first.


Otunga told me to give him my best shot. I hit him with a ferocious forearm to the jaw and followed it up with a flurry of punches that was capped off with a springboard elbow which knocked him down. I wasted zero time as I started to stomp down on his midsection before hitting him with a leg drop on his throat. I allowed him to tag in Del Rio, so I could finally get my hands on him until Andrew tagged himself in.

Andrew hit Del Rio with a few kicks to the back of his legs, before hitting him with a standing drop kick. He then started to work on his legs by stomping down on them, and smashing them down to the mat. Andrew crouched down for a spear, but Otunga grabbed a hold of his ankles. Del Rio took that time to get his bearings and catch his breath. He ran at Andrew, and hit him in the side of the head with his knee. He then dragged Andrew over to his corner and tagged in Otunga, who hit him with three elbows after he got in. Otunga then started to work on his back before going outside to get a weapon. I hopped off of the apron, and as AJ was telling Otunga to get in the ring, I dragged Andrew to the middle of the ring. AJ turned and saw me doing that and told me to get out of the ring. Otunga had a chair, and instead of going for Andrew, he decided to try and use it on AJ. I pushed her out of the way and hit a standing drop kick and the chair hit Otunga in the face. Andrew started to stir, and managed to hit a chop block on Otunga. I got out of the ring, and he crawled over to me and tagged me in.

I wasted little time in attacking Otunga, as I hit him with a running leg drop on to the chair. I started to stomp down on his midsection, before getting out of the ring and pulling out a table. I set it up in the ring, as Otunga started to get to his feet. I hit him with a spinning heel kick, which knocked him back down to the mat. Del Rio ran into the ring, only for me to hit him with an enziguri. I picked Del Rio up and slammed him down with a few quick spine-busters, before placing him on the table. Otunga managed to get to his feet, but when he turned around, I hit him with a super-kick to the jaw which sent him backwards. I whipped him into my corner, and set him up on the top turnbuckle before tagging Andrew in. I went to the top, and hit a release belly to belly suplex on Otunga, and Andrew caught him and put him through the table with a power-bomb and went for the pin. "1...2...3 ring the bell" the match was over, and AJ raised our hands in victory.


We went to the back so we could shower and get changed before heading back to the hotel. April had decided she wanted to talk to me about something important, and right now I was scared shitless about the possibility of her not wanting to have any more interactions with me.

"James, you okay?" April asked me after we got to our hotel room.

"I'll be fine. What do you need to talk about?" I replied, hoping it wasn't going to be a breakup talk or something along those lines.

"I want to know more about you, since you really don't talk about a lot of things in your past. I'm starting to get worried that they may drive you to do something stupid, and I don't want that" April said to me, and I let out a small sigh. This is going to be a long night for me, but at least I have my April with me. If she wasn't, then it would be a simple brush off.

"Since you know of my so called 'family' problems, I'll tell you about my school problems" I replied, and she nodded her head. I took a deep breath, and started the story. "Well...


I am going to do a little flashback in the next chapter about the school problems, before doing the Money In The Bank PPV. I am giving a shout out to ChainGangSoldier45 for letting me use Andrew from his story The Rated R Apprentice and for giving me advice before I jumped into writing a Wrestling story. He is a great writer. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter of Proving I belong, and don't forget to review. I don't own WWE and all that good shit.
