Finally I am back! Sorry for the long absence but PC was down and had a lot to deal with but finished. So enough chat enjoy!

Chapter 10: Extreme stipulations

MONDAY NIGHT

"Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome the…NEW WWE Champion…Xander Cage!" Justin Roberts announced.

Higher and higher hit as I made my way out but I came through the crowd to show my bond with the WWE Universe as I was congratulated by them all as I had the restored WWE title around my waist and just relishing each moment they did as I made my way down the ramp and into the ring as I asked for a mic.

"Last night I made a promise, I will not let Miz walk out with the WWE title, not without a fight and I made sure on that promise and I stand here the new WWE Champion!" I stated as the crowd popped to that.

"Last night's victory was not without controversy as Miz had his house boy get him disqualified I thought that was it, but out came our special guest host who I would like to thank for restarting the match and giving me a second chance so that I could beat Miz with a Skull Crushing Finale and win back what I never lost!" I stated as the crowd got louder.

"Now I turn myself to our next Pay Per View, Extreme Rules where one night WWE goes extreme, Miz has invoked his rematch clause but however yours truly has been given the chance to pick our match for the WWE Championship, I have not decided yet but I promise tonight I will have an answer for you all." I said.

Awesome!

I came to play hit and it was the former WWE Champion and he was accompanied by his assistant as he did not look happy after what went down last night.

"YOU SCREWED ME LAST NIGHT! YOU AND THE ROCK!" Miz shouted as the crowd was just booing him.

"Mizzy…you screwed you after you got your house boy to get yourself disqualified and then you did the stupidest thing ever and slapped The Rock across the face who was in charge last night and you paid for it." I said as the crowd popped to that.

"Cage whatever match you pick for Extreme Rules it won't matter, I will get back my WWE title and I will once again flip this company upside down because I'M THE MIZ! AND I'M…AWESOME!" Miz stated.

"JACKASS! JACKASS! JACKASS!" the crowd chanted instead making their opinions of The Miz known.

"We've gone through this Miz you are not Awesome…you are a Jackass and the only reason why my self and The WWE Universe think that is because you turned your back on each and every one of us even though the guys you did turn your back to support you, they didn't give up on you, men like Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Edge, Randy Orton and The Undertaker." I said listing the names of superstars.

"They went to the place your in right now, but even though fans hated them for what they did…some stuck by them no matter what and that is happening with you but the difference is you told those guys you didn't need them, you're not just a Jackass you're like Michael Cole…a complete tool." I said as Cole was ranting on me calling him and Miz a tool.

"ALEX TAKE CARE OF HIM!" Miz ordered as Riley threw his shirt off and rushed down to the ring and we began fighting.

We exchanged fists as then I got in a quick knee to the gut and threw him right into the corner and just beat the hell out of him but I got blindsided by Miz as he used his assistant to distract me.

Both men were now double teaming me but I began to fight back against them both but the numbers were too great as then Riley held me up and Miz had the title belt and I got out and HE NAILS RILEY IN THE HEAD!

He turned around realising his mistake and I just threw strikes at him and clotheslined him over the ropes and to the outside and he and Riley retreated I was daring them to get back in the ring but they backed off.

"BLING!"

Can I have your attention please! I have received an email from the Anonymous Raw General Manager!" Cole announced yet again as he went to the podium and read the message from the laptop.

"And I quote." the crowd booed him. "Last night both of you put on a main even worthy of the Hall of Fame but tonight I have decided that there will be a gauntlet match and the winner will be added to the WWE title match at Extreme Rules but also you two will be involved in a tag team match pitting The Miz and Alex Riley against the new WWE Champion Xander Cage and a partner of his choosing." Cole announced as the GM had made these two announcements and I had to find somebody to help me tonight but the question was who?

LATER ON

I heard rumours about this all day and they were true, Edge is retiring and I was shocked after his epic title match mast night the Rated R Superstar's career was over and I managed to catch him to have a chat.

"Man that sucks, I mean you were on borrowed time it was gonna happen eventually." I said.

"Well I was told it and glad they caught it when they did and I gotta do it, look I just wanna say my goodbye to you and everyone and that the future of this company and wrestling is in good hands, you, Storm, Cena, Orton, Punk all these young guys up and coming are making a new path for more to come in." Edge said as then we shook hands.

"Thanks for everything, you tested me and made me stronger, you won't be forgotten." I said as he nodded and left to make his announcement to the world as he then went to make his exit we gave him a line of applause and thanks for all his hard work and dedication as it was the final night that we would see The Rated R Superstar.

LATER ON

I then bumped into John Cena and I knew that he was in the gauntlet match tonight and the fact he was still reeling from his match with Joe and the fact that The Rock cost him the match and the Hardcore title.

"You were right about Joe, that guy did not let up he just kept on coming at me after threw everything at him it was like it just seemed to piss him off even more but thanks to The Rock who I plan to call out tonight and make an earth shattering announcement, but tonight I plan on winning that gauntlet and taking back the WWE title." Cena stated.

"Alright then I say to you good luck and also if this earth shattering announcement is as shattering as you say it is." I said as he smirked.

"It is and let's just say no one will see it coming." Cena said as he left me with that.

I went to scour the back for a partner and I knew one guy who would jump at the chance to make an impact once more.

"Yo K2!" I shouted to Kalin Kessler.

"XMan! Nice belt." Kessler said seeing my WWE title.

"Thanks won it last night, nice job on last night's win." I said as we high fived.

"So I hear you're looking for a tag team partner…would that guy happen to…" Kessler hinted at what I came to do.

"You wanna be my partner tonight?" I asked.

"A main event match against two of the biggest tools in WWE and to make yet another impact…YES! Let's do this!" Kessler said as we shook hands as I had my partner.

As the I smelled something strong. "Whoa, what's that smell?" I said fanning it away.

"Oh it's my new cologne, it's called Sex Panther, this stuff has never been tested and so far I've been getting attention…female attention if you know what I mean." Kessler said with that look on his face.

"It's a formidable stench, it stings the nostrils, in a good wa- oh I can't pretend…that stuff smells like pure gasoline." I said being honest as he gave me a dirty look but smelled it again and wasn't smelling it like I was.

"Whatever this stuff works and a certain diva is about to get an invitation to a very exclusive restaurant later tonight and this stuff will be my "Ace in the Hole" if you know what I mean." Kessler said as I did know.

"Ok then, look just be focused for the match and then you can focus on your wooing of Miss Torres." I said as he chuckled as he went to get ready.

LATER ON

Awesome!

I came to play hit as both Miz and Riley made their way out and all fired up as the booing continued as they ignored it and like always fed off the negativity, they went down the ramp and into the ring to await our arrival.

Stronger hit as Kessler made his way out, getting a nice ovation from the fans and hot off his win last night and dressed in his Poseidon outfit as both Miz and Riley mocked him but he made his way down and he raised the trident up and his pyro went off as he was outside the ring, took the apparel off and awaited my arrival.

Higher and higher hit and I got a huge ovationjust like earlier on tonight as I made my way out with the WWE title around my waist I then just ran right down the ramp and Kessler joined me as we rushed into the ring forcing our opponents to bail fast as we soaked in the applause of the WWE Universe.

The bell rang as it was Kessler versus Riley as both rookies locked up and Riley had the upper hand with a wristlock but Kessler reversed it and flipped out and got him into one of his own and followed it up with a legsweep and a rollup, 1-TW-NO HE GOT OUT!

Kessler quickly locked up again with him as both struggled but then he backed Riley into the corner as the ref then broke them up and Riley struck Kessler as he was distracted by the referee. He stomped on him as Riley then had him I na headlock trying to wear down the high flyer.

As then he dragged him over to his corner and tagged in Miz as Riley held Kessler Miz kicked him in the gut and then began hitting fists to his face as then he grounded him with more of them not stopping as the ref ordered him to stop and then got in his face as his aggression was more than usual.

He looked to me and then grabbed Kessler and told me to "watch this." as he drove his knee into Kessler and took him by the head as he drove the back of Kessler's head into his knee and into a neck breaker combo, 1-2-NO KESSLER KICKS OUT!

Miz then nailed some knee drops to his head as then he grabbed his right leg and stomped on it as he turned him onto his stomach and locked in a half boston crab applying pressure to the injured leg of Kessler, he was shouting in pain as he tried to get to the ropes as me and the WWE Universe willed him to do so and he was doing it and he got there and Miz was forced to break the hold and did so to the count of four.

He dragged Kessler over to his corner and tagged in Riley as both took him up for a two man suplex then brought him up again for a double knee to the gut. Riley then stomped on him as he was trash talking to him and nailed an elbow drop and went for the cover, 1-2-TH-NO KESSLER GOT THE SHOULDER UP!

Bringing him back up to his feet Riley then dragged him over to their corner and tagged in Miz as he held Kessler and he kicked him in the gut as Miz was shouting insults at me from the other side of the ring as he nailed fist after fist to Kessler and I was itching to get into this match and give that loudmouth a beating.

But again he was taunting me as I tried to get in but the ref was holding me back and while he was distracted both Miz and Riley ganged up on Kessler as I had to stop my attempt to help and they quickly stopped getting away with it as Miz stomped on Kessler's head and was trash talking him then brought him up by his hair and again trashed talked him and went for a fist but KESSLER COUNTERS WITH A ENZIGURI!

Me and the crowd willed him on to get to his corner and get me in the match as Miz was moving and tried to stop him he just leaped off the ground and I WAS IN THE MATCH! Miz just darted back to his corner and tagged in Riley as he reluctantly came in and I decked him with a clothesline and a huge heel kick to the face and brought him up and I hit all three of my suplex combos, 1-2-THR-NO MIZ BROKE UP THE PIN!

I just left the ring and went after Miz as we fought on the outside I hit fist after fist to his face but meanwhile in the ring Riley and Kessler were fighting as Riley had Kessler on his shoulders he was going for YOU'RE DISSMI-NO KESSLER GOT OUT!

He quickly landed on his feet and from out of nowhere KESSLER NAILS AN STO TAKEDOWN AND LOCKS IN A CHOKEHOLD!

It was Kessler's submission hold which he called Poseidon's Poison as Riley was screaming in pain and just tapped out! But the ref was trying to contain me and Miz from fighting and had no choice but to throw this match out as Miz retreated up the ramp and I went back into the ring as Kessler finished with Riley I grabbed the mic and my title.

"MIZ! I decided what kind of match to have at Extreme Rules and I want a match to keep out outside interference and a match which you can't run away from, so you and whoever wins the gauntlet tonight will be locked inside a solid STEEL CAGE!" I stated making the match as Miz looked surprised as I held up my title and in three weeks we will see how extreme things go.

LATER ON

I watched the gauntlet match and it was a shocking ending to the match as it was down to Cena and R-Truth as both men battled for what seemed to be hours but was minutes as Cena nailed the slam and the Five Knuckle he had the charismatic Truth up on his shoulders for an AA but Truth elbowed Cena in the head and got out of it but as Truth went to grab him from behind he threw him off and inadvertently hitting the ref taking him out.

Both men still went at it…CENA NAILS THE ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!

There was no ref to make the count as Cena tried to revive him…HE WAS ATTACKED BY SAMOA JOE!

Joe did say he was not done with Cena and he just beat him down with fists, palm strikes and then backed him into the corner, had him on the top rope, nailed the swift enziguiri to the back of his head and had him up on his shoulders…MUSCLE BUSTER!

Joe then grabbed the lifeless Truth threw him on top of Cena as he woke the ref up and he counted 1-2-3 R-TRUTH IS GOING TO EXTREME RULES!

Joe has once again cost Cena a chance to regain the WWE title and as he locked eyes with Cena it was clear there would be retaliation for this.

But the night was even more shocking as John Cena challenged The Rock to a match at WrestleMania 28 and he accepted, I was excited for this encounter as it would be epic.

MONDAY NIGHT

We were live in the United Kingdom and R-Truth was excited to be getting a WWE title match but was then interrupted by his friend John Morrison who then goaded him into a match to put his spot in the title match on the line.

It was a fast paced match but in the end the Guru of Greatness was victorious as Truth was in shock he just lost his opportunity to a man he's been friends with for a while as Morrison extended his hand out to him as he took it and both showing sportsmanship.

As Morrison went to leave…R-TRUTH JUST ATTACKED HIM?

We all watched on as the charismatic Truth just assaulted his best friend and beat him down on the outside as he muttered things to him and just blasted him across the head with a water bottle utterly disrespecting Morrison and leaving us shocked at his actions.

LATER ON

I was talking with Cena and he wanted more insight on Samoa Joe.

"What the hell is his problem he beat me at WrestleMania, isn't that enough?" Cena asked as he was confused to why he screwed him yet again.

"The Rock handed him the victory, he's not taking it as one he wants you in a one on one fight." I said explaining why as he got it.

"So he felt it was a meaningless win and wants a legit win over me not the handed one? Ok I'll give him that and this time I'll make him tap!" Cena stated as I knew he wanted to settle this.

As he left I was then approached by Josh Mathews.

"Xander can you comment on the actions of R-Truth earlier on?" he asked.

"I saw it and Truth just to say, you win some you lose some, that's the business we're in." I stated.

"Now that the latest change is that you will not only face The Miz but now also John Morrison, your thoughts?" he asked.

"Well Josh, I know both men well, better yet us three met a few years back on a show called ECW, they were the Tag Team Champions, the best team around and had huge egos but they backed it up and when I faced them with my partner we beat them, so yes with these guys now at the prime of their careers they are a threat but I am the WWE Champion and I will not back down to anyone and if changes keep on coming I'll keep on being ready…so Miz…Morrison…in two weeks….We go to the extreme!" I said as I held up my belt.

As I left I then bumped into the one man that I had not met since my days in Orlando as it was the Samoan Submission Machine and current Hardcore Champion himself as we locked eyes.

"So we meet again…Xander Cage…WWE Champion…The big man on campus…for now." Joe said as I smirked.

"Samoa Joe…The Samoa Submission Machine…the Hardcore Samoan…you haven't changed at all, so what made you decide to finally jump here? This?" I asked holding my belt up to him as his face said it.

"It's only a matter of time…but right now I plan on just dominating whoever I want and how I want as long as I hold this." Joe said holding his Hardcore title up to me.

"Anyone you say?" I asked raising an eyebrow to that.

"As I said, find a ref, find me and it's on." Joe said making the challenge.

"Prove it…tonight in an open challenge." I said making him do it.

"Fine I'll prove not only to you champ but also to that overrated clown that he will fall to me like anyone who steps in that ring with me and my Nation of Violence!" Joe stated walking off to the ring.

LATER ON

I watched as Joe did just that with him tearing into opponent after opponent who challenged him as broken tables, trash cans, steel chairs, kendo sticks and some random objects were scattered everywhere as Joe stood in the ring waiting who would come next as to our surprise it was the resident rookie Kalin Kessler as he knew it was a bad idea but just ran down the ring and he went right at Joe.

Kessler was not backing down as he hit lefts and rights , hitting high flying moves trying to keep him off his feet as he even hit him with a massive dropkick through a stop sign but Joe was too much for him, after taking all that as he just recovered and got Kessler grounded with a huge kick to the head and a one arm slam to the mat as he brought him up on his shoulders and SAMOAN DROP THROUGH THE TRASH CAN!

Kessler yelled out in pain as his spine crashed through the metal and Joe looking on as the crazed look in his eyes as he wanted to punish him some more as he grabbed a kendo stick and just wailed on the rookie as each shot just echoed and blistered his body with his screams just being heard as finally he stopped hitting him and then looked out to the crowd and gave a cutthroat as it was about to be over he took the limp body of the rookie and threw him into the corner as he grabbed a chair and set it up and was going to do what we all thought to him…

HE WAS ATTACKED BY JOHN CENA! CENA GOING AFTER JOE! He grabbed the chair folded it and…HE HIT JOE OVER THE HEAD! He's staggered and…ANOTHER SHOT! Joe still reeling…A THIRD SHOT! Joe was dazed as Cena set the chair up and took the three hundred pounder up on his shoulders and HE HIT'S HIM WITH AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT THROUGH THE CHAIR!

He revived Kessler and told him to go up as he slowly did and from the top…HE NAILS THE 630! He goes for the cover…1-2-3! KALIN KESSLER IS THE NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION THANKS TO CENA!

I was glad he won his first title but at Joe's expense as Cena looked down on the fallen Samoan and said "YOU CAN'T SEE ME!" the battle lines were drawn now.

LATER ON

Awesome!

I came to play hit and it was one of my challengers and he had Riley with him and what appeared to be in his hand was a book as he went down the ramp and into the ring and had a mic handed to him by Riley.

"So now John Morrison is the new addition to title match at Extreme Rules? Really? Really? Really? Morrison if you think you're going to win your first title then think again, like I said I am the Shawn Michaels of our team and you're the failure that is Marty Janetty and like him you won't stand a chance!" Miz insulted Morrison.

"I'm the only Must see WWE Champion in WWE history, I won the Raw Money in the Bank ladder match, I reigned for several months as United States Champion, I defeated John Cena several times in one year!" Miz said braggin about his accomplishments.

"Now on to you Cage, I had to get to know you better and how'd I do that…by this." he said holding up a copy of my autobiography.

"Gotta say here a lot of things I didn't know about like how you overcame so much odds even without a family but seriously only idiots would care about a loser like you and fall for such crap like this." he said insulting my life story as the booing had gotten louder.

"But I'm here to share a part which he never mentioned a certain girl in his earlier life, so tell me Xander…how did she die?" he asked in that taunting tone of his as I had had enough.

Higher and Higher hit and I just walked fast and was in no mood to even stop and just rushed into the ring and got in his face.

"Just you say one more word and I'll knock your teeth down our throat!" I angrily said.

"Xander…did I hit a nerve? Have I finally shown that you are a coward of a champion as well as a coward of a man? Then maybe your soon to be wife would rather a man who is mo-" I just blasted him in the face with a fist as Riley came at me and we fought.

I was going blow for blow with him as then Miz joined in and they both beat me down and unable to defend myself as Miz ordered Riley to get me up and he held me back as Miz came at me but I broke free and he hit Riley instead as I nailed Miz with a heel kick he retreated to the outside, I grabbed Riley and threw him out and right on top of Miz as I just exploded wanting more of them they retreated and now he had made this personal.

Oooooh Now it's gotten more interesting, what will happen next? Will there be retaliation for this?

What you think? Reviews please!
