Chapter 10: Evenin the odds
MONDAY NIGHT
"You ready for this?" I asked.
"Oh I'm ready…well more than ready I just wanna get out there and stick it to them both, this was a good idea." Ashley said.
"Yep, but your other idea was even better, he won't be getting away with it this time!!" I said.
LATER ON
The Burchills were already out in the ring and Paul with his belt on his shoulders had a mic.
"Last week, Xander Cage was given his last chance to win this title right here, and he prevailed against the Samoan Bulldozer." he said.
The crowd cheered the fact I won that hard earned victory last week.
"Thus earning himself any sort of stipulations he wants for our match in 2 weeks at Summerslam, so Cage get your arse down here right now so I can find out what you have in store for me!!" he demanded.
Bleed it out
"Cage I don't know why you even bother to fight me once again but I do admire your determination but it will be the same result each time, I defeat you and you keep on asking for more chances, but this is your last chance!!" he stated.
"True it is, but at least I didn't have to use the title or members of my family to help me win matches!!" I pointed out.
The crowd popped to that, as he looked around realising I was right but obviously wouldn't accept it.
"Just get straight to the point, these idiots are annoying me!!" he snapped.
Boos were sounding in the entire arena.
"Ok since you asked so nicely, I've been….well we have been thinking about it and we've decided that you probably will involve you sister at ringside so my good friend here will be at ringside as well as a neutralizer in case if she tries to get involved.
The girls both looked at each other fiercely.
"But also if you even try to get yourself disqualified or counted out you lose the title, I want this to be a fair fight." I said.
The crowd went nuts for this.
"Fine! Like it matters that you changed the rules to try and make the match go your way, but as I said it will be the same result as usual , me retaining my Intercontinental Championship and the revolution will continue!!" he stated.
But we marched forward and got in both of their faces.
"Well if that's what you think then I say….
We both at the same time nailed a strike to the siblings faces and I began pounding on him while they were cat fighting on the opposite side of the ring and I grabbed him by the head and tossed him out to the floor and she stomped his sister to the outside and I pointed to him gesturing I'm gonna be the next champion.
LATER ON
"Man that felt good, getting my hands on that bitch and beating the hell out of her, but seeing their faces was the best part, I'm looking forward to Summerslam already!!" She excitingly said.
"I bet you are but not as near as I am as I finally win the gold and shut his mouth once and for all!!" I said.
"Hey you wanna do something?" she asked.
"What you got in mind?" I answered.
"I heard the hotel lobby has a good bar around now." she said.
"Ok let's go, I could use a beer around now." I said.
We went back to the hotel got changed and went straight to the bar and having my alone time with her was cool but nerve-racking, I mean she was going to be helping me out at Summerslam but we were also good friends, I still had what Matt told me about liking her and that but I wasn't sure If I was ready to tell her but I hoped when the time was right I would.
MONDAY NIGHT
Tonight was a preview of what was to come as I would be taking on the World's Strongest Man, The self-proclaimed Silverback, Mark Henry.
This wasn't my first encounter with him as I did face him and Big Daddy V in a handicap match about last year and I have not forgotten what they tried to do to me.
I also had my partner in crime accompanying out with me just as a warm-up for this Sunday but I did have concerns for her safety at ringside, but she's a big girl she can take care of herself.
"You ok?" She asked.
"Yeah just deep in thought that's all." I answered.
"About this Sunday? Well look you'll beat him and win the title back home in good ol New York!!" she said.
"That's the problem New York is where Summerslam is this year in Madison Square Garden." I sarcastically said.
"What's the problem with performing back home?" she asked.
"Well it's just…that…. You know what better I'll tell you later it's complicated." I said.
"Ok later then, anyway you and Mark Henry tonight this is going to be brutal." she said.
"Yeah but at least I'm getting prepared, and the good thing is Burchill is facing Umaga tonight as well!, so then let's do this!!." I said.
We both went down to the entrance curtain together.
LATER ON
We came out to Bleed it out, together with her leading and me coming out second we got another great ovation from the crowd, we made our way down to the ring and I got ready to face the Silverback himself in just moments but I had my friend backing me all the way. The speakers blasted The Wall, it described him pretty well a huge unstoppable wall.
The bell rang, and we tied up, it was a bad move as he caught me early and began using that In-human like strength of his to lift me off of the ground by one arm and threw me hard to the ground back first. I may have underestimated him a little but I won't this time.
I tried to recover but he continued the assault with some clubbing blows to my back and lifted me up again for a scoop slam sending me hard to the mat, he seemed to enjoy doing it, I could see Ash on the outside trying to get me back into this match, he went for me again but I used my leg strength to kick him away a little and create some space between us.
I got up as quick as I could to avoid a huge clothesline from him and counter into a backflip kick to the temple which shocked him and sent him back even more and I ran at him and clotheslined him over the top rope, and used the ropes to throw myself over and onto him sending him down.
I picked him up by his hair to a standing position but he rammed me back first into the ring post, It was excruciating and he grabbed me again and as he had me in positioned to do a World's Strongest Slam on the outside which he was about to do at the last second I countered into a Tornado DDT which sent the big man down, I used all my strength to get him back in the ring by the 10 count.
I just began using some knee drops to his back and nailing some fist drops to his head, and I used a triangle choke on him but as I thought he was going to be chocked out he used that strength to lift me while still trapped in the hold and grab me into the bear hug.
I was yelling in pain but he continued to apply pressure to my mid and upper sections and I felt myself passing out, and did for a split second and the ref called for the bell, but he continued to apply it but was ignoring the ref's order and after throwing me to the ground and pushing the ref to the ground he reversed the decision to me winning by DQ.
Ashley came into the ring to check on me as she was worried about my condition, as she tried to help get me to the back.
LATER ON
"Xander are you sure you're ok? She asked.
"Yeah I'm ok just battered that's all and listen you did help me out there by giving me support." I said.
"No problem, and anyway I'll take you back to the hotel and I'll look after you tonight ok." she told.
"That's kind of you thanks, I may need some help getting into bed." I jokingly said.
"I'm gonna let that slide because of the pain your in, but next time I'll get you back for that." she retaliated.
"Can't wait till that happens." I said.
I knew that our relationship was beginning to become more than just friends but I think she felt the same as me, but still only time would tell as I enter Summerslam for the Intercontinental Championship in a Last chance match.
Ok so it seems things are becoming more for them both and he has the match of his career to win at Summerslam!!
