A.N: Thanks for the awesome reviews, you guys are amazing c: Can't believe Punk's birthday is in 2 days :3 I'm doing a sign (:

By the way, i think this new Cena/AJ angle majorly sucks. Though Punk did say he misses her so it's a possibility that it changes to AJ-Punk-Cena. Would just love it if screwed Cena over and turned heel. Yup, you can already tell I hate him xD Anyways its up to us to keep PunkLee alive for the while!

I'm thinking of doing a new Punk/AJ fanfiction full of one-shots (maybe 50+ Chapters it depends)... the best part is you guys can suggest ideas to me! As soon as someone sends a request, I'll get started on it c: ECW, FCW, WWE, NXT..Pre-Wrestling anything I'll write it :D

Soo yup, Enjoy this chapter xD


"Gonna kill him when I find him tonight!"

"Phil don't you even try to fight him, you could get injured again!"

The Voices of the Straight Edge Superstar and the Geek Goddess echoed throughout the hallway they were passing by, arguing. A.J had stayed with Punk all weekend even though he seemed perfectly fine. You could never be so sure though, so the petite Diva had insisted on staying with him in his hotel room.

Currently, Punk felt like proving his point that he was fine. So he did.

By grabbing her by the waist and sitting her on his shoulder. She's so light, he thought, bemused as A.J tried to let herself down.

"Punk put me down!" she shrieked, at the same time grabbing onto his neck for support. Passing Superstars and backstage members snickered at the sight—it was priceless.

Sheamus, a good friend of both, just happened to be walking by, and when he saw then he too started laughing. "Get some Punk!" he called over his shoulder in his Irish accent.

The spitfire gave a little growl. "I'm warning you Phil PUT ME DOWN!"

He chuckled at her efforts of trying to free herself. "I'll only put you down when you stop nagging me like a wife!" Punk shot back at her.

"…Fine, just put me down, I actually like my two feet on the ground," she huffed as he gently lowered her to the ground.

They started walking aimlessly round backstage in silence. Punk was deep in thought about Cena. The guy just wasn't the type to assault someone right after a match. He was just too much of a boy scout to do it for selfish reasons.

The tattooed wrestler was also furious about what the 'Golden Boy' did to his friends. Justin's foot was broken, one of Michael's ribs was shattered due to the impact and Heath has a concussion, still not woken up. The lack of teammates had forced Punk to officially end the New Nexus. Now he only had A.J and probably Sheamus to hang out with backstage.

For him, it was painful to have A.J spend the weekend over with him. Mostly because he knew he'd never have her. Women like her don't usually go for cocky tattooed bastards like himself.

A soft voice from the girl who invaded his mind for months broke his train of thought.

"Are you okay?"

Punk rubbed the back of his neck, debating whether on the truth or not. "I want Cena to pay for what he did, He attacked me, and I couldn't care less about that. But my friends? That's out of line. The idiot even acted as if he wanted to hit you!" It felt great to vent, to let out all that has been pressuring him.

"And he will pay for what he did," A.J did her best to assure him, "You're now the number one contender to his WWE Champion, he's gonna have to face the Best in the World sooner or later again. Then you can punish him all you want in the ring."

The Second City Saint felt a boost of confidence at the petite Diva's support. "You're right; I should be the one to make him pay. No one messes with my friends, and not a soul messes with you."

"As much as I appreciate your concern, you shouldn't jeopardize yourself!" she protested, resting a hand on his bicep.

The tattooed wrestler preferred to ignore her objections knowing all too well he'd end up giving Cena the beating of his life for trying to hurt her anyway. Someone just could not get away with attempting to harm the woman he loved.

"I think he's doing the opening segment of the show, I'll crash it when I have to." Punk lifted her hand off his bicep to place a soft kiss on her knuckles.

A.J blushed; but pulled back her hand quickly all the same. "What about me? You can't just leave me here alone!" the spitfire complained with a scowl.

The Second City Saint just waved her off. "I'll call you out to the ring if I need to, but I highly doubt I will. Or go hang with Sheamus and Kofi!"

"Fine, I'll try to find them," she finally relented, hugging him. "Just not too long, okay?"

"I just need to straighten things out, make a few threats… nothing to worry about!" Punk assured her, patting her cheek. "I'll see you later."


Your time is up, my time is now. You can't see me; my time is now!

The WWE Universe was very confused of how to act towards this man. After the stunt he pulled on SmackDown it was unsure what his motives actually were.

Commentary

Cole: As you can see, the WWE Universe is confused about the intentions of John Cena, as he assaulted the entire New Nexus after a contendership match against CM Punk.

Booker: That kid has some explainin' to do. Now I expect that crap from the New Nexus, but not from him.

Cole: Well many think that the reason that caused his attack on the notorious group is because of the looming threat of CM Punk, the now number one contender for his WWE Championship.

Booker: Still, no excuse for assaulting the guy like that. CM Punk is a gifted wrestler but John Cena needs to overlook that fact and face him at Money in the Bank.

End of Commentary

John was now in the ring; ready to address the WWE Universe in Long Island.

"Now as you all know, I assaulted CM Punk a few nights ago on SmackDown. You all may think I did it because I see Punk as a threat, but believe me; he hasn't done a damn thing to intimidate me. He doesn't deserve my respect or my WWE Championship."

Punk's theme hit and the Chicago native marched down to the ring with his jaw set clearly furious with the larger man.

"Well you should see me as a danger Cena because boy am I angry at that little stunt you pulled on SmackDown! Attack me all you want, I'm all yours, but my friends? They're in the hospital because of you! I hope you're happy the New Nexus is officially done!"

John opened his mouth to retort but Punk continued seething, "And Cena? I didn't like that look you gave A.J either. You know what I thought it looked like? It appears as though you wanted to hurt her. But I've got news for you," he chuckled humorlessly, "If you lay a finger on her, I'll snap your hand in two. As long as I'm around nobody messes with her."

"What if you're not around anymore? You know I could let you have the same fate the rest of your little buddies had last week," Cena challenged.

The Straight Edge Superstar already had an answer to that. "After your little attack, I'd be stupid not to watch my back. Hey, you know what... we don't have to wait until Money in the Bank to settle this. How about right now in this very ring?"

The crowd roared in approval, excitement flowed throughout the arena.

Cena shook his head rapidly, not at all expecting this challenge. That didn't mean Punk was backing out. He was quickly trying to remove his shirt. But the familiar but annoying beeping sound of the alerts from the Raw General Manager made him stop.

Cole quickly got up from the announce table and proceeded to read the email. He had learned his lesson the last time Punk had to yell at him.

"And I quote, 'John, get out of the ring. CM Punk stay there or I won't name you the number one contender' What?!" Cole exclaimed in shock.

"Why is everyone sending me backstage?!" burst out Cena, scowling. Punk just shrugged at him. The Cenation leader stormed out of the ring to backstage.

The Second City Saint now decided to start on the Anonymous Raw GM. "What do you mean you won't name me the number one contender?! I already earned that right!"

Cole read on behalf of the General Manager. "'Well not to me. I haven't heard a thing about that.' Well I'm confused as hell." Cole muttered under his breath. He had no idea what this Anonymous General Manager was playing at, and apparently neither did Punk.

"What?! Ask Teddy Long then, he announced it!" the Chicago native seethed, rage emanating from his being.

"'In case you forgot I'm the one who manages the WWE Championship. I'll have to name you number one contender.'"

Punk ran hid free hand through his hair in frustration. "Okay, fine. I'll just stay here making snow angels until you name me number one contender." The Straight Edge Superstar proceeded to do just that, much to the annoyance of the GM and the entertained fans.

The bleeping sound echoed again, causing Cole to hurriedly read the new email. "'Okay Mr. Main Event, you'll be named the number one contender…..if you manage to defeat the mystery opponent I scheduled for you tonight."

The Long Islanders roared in excitement. This would be a fantastic main event; that was sure.

CM Punk just shrugged nonchalantly, replying coolly, "Bring it on! Now if you don't mind, I have a Diva to take care of." He dropped the mic on the floor and hurried down backstage.

The crowd was buzzing with anticipation. Rumors about the duo were spreading like wildfire. And the main event match Punk had with a mystery opponent? This could be one of the best RAWs this year.

Commentary

Booker: Wow…. Just epic, man!

Cole: Indeed, a mystery opponent!

Booker: Who d'you think it's gonna be, Cole?

Cole: Well I hope it's the M—

Booker: Like hell that's gonna happen. Keep dreamin'.

Cole: Well it could! The Miz is a very talented athlete! He made a grea—

Booker: Yes Cole we get it the Miz is talented, so let's move on now. Did you see the new poll on ?

Cole: Of course I did. It's open for you the WWE Universe to vote whether CM Punk and AJ are friends, together or just an alliance. Submit your votes and we'll announce the results later on tonight.

Booker: I thought the New Nexus was over? Why is he still helping her?

Cole: Booker, it's obvious that they're good friends, so maybe it goes a bit farther than that if you know what I mean.

Booker: If they both are successful as number one contenders this could be the beginning of a power couple. We're talkin' about the Diva's Champion and the WWE Champion running the show, man.

Cole: That is if they succeed in their deciding matches tonight and at Money in the Bank.

Booker: We'll take a break now, but stay tuned for Randy Orton versus the Corre's leader Wade Barrett!
