Chapter 10: Lines Drawn and More Blood Shed
Another week comes, another week comes closer to Summerslam and there is a big night ahead tonight. First we hear the announcements of the teams for Summerslam, then the steel cage will be lowered and CM Punk will battle John Cena inside of it. Also tonight we will hear from Shelton Benjamin regarding the WWE title situation.
Out first was Paul Heyman by himself, and he had his paper in his hands and he got in and waited for Dusty Rhodes. Dusty came out, and he had a piece of paper in his hands and they both got in.
"Alright let's not waste time, I'll go first." Paul E. said as he read his paper, "you know my team it will be HHH, Batista, Randy Orton, Ric Flair, Lance Cade, Snitsky, Ken Doane and CM Punk. Now as far as the final member is concerned we will wait and watch tonight and ask a lucky individual to join our team. Now for the 2 tag team matches I have my 2 teams. My first team will be Ken Doane and Randy Orton." As he said that out they came and got in the ring. "My second team is CM Punk and HHH! Now HHH is not here tonight, he has the night off, and Punk is getting ready to take John Cena out and destroy his career inside that steel cage hanging above us. Now Mr. Rhodes say your crappy piece."
"Fine, that's sounds like a decent team, but at Summerslam the Dream Team will be knock them dead. My team is Chris Benoit, Shawn Michaels, Bobby Lashley, Carlito, Jeff Hardy, John Cena and the Undertaker!" The crowd popped when Taker's name was called, Paul E. looked a bit scared over that announcement.
"Wait that's only 7 who's the other 2?"
"Let me finish, now I would like to introduce my 2 teams, first the team that will take on HHH and CM Punk will be Jeff Hardy…and John Cena!" Paul E. just laughed because he knew the problems between Jeff and John. "Oh sure smile now, but those 2 pretty boys standing right next to you are in for a beating of a lifetime. Now I'm going to get out of the ring, as a matter of fact why introduce them when you can see them." Paul E., Doane and Orton turned around and waited at the entrance way.
Out from the back came SABU AND ROB VAN DAM WITH BILL ALFONSO FOLLOWING THEM. They had chairs in their hands, they got in and they were attacked by Doane and Orton. They tried to whip them but they were reversed, RVD and Sabu grabbed their chairs and threw them at Orton and Doane as they came back. Sabu threw the chair again at Orton to knock him out of the ring, Sabu grabbed another chair and tossed it at Doane, he caught it and RVD nailed the Van Daminator! Stacy and Paul E. pulled out Doane as they all retreated back with Doane out on his feet from the Van Daminator. RVD was posing to the crowd and Sabu was being Sabu and Fonzie was blowing his whistle at Paul E. and his team. Paul E. was shocked over Dusty's team members, his creations.
After the break, Dusty was heading back to his office, he entered and in there was Jeff, John, Trish and Torrie and John and Jeff weren't happy with what they just heard.
"Dust, please tell me you're messing because there is no way I'm teaming with this guy right now. He's trying to sabotage me, I thought he was serious in being a team but he's was just using me to get to the main event and get noticed." John said with anger.
"What the hell you talking about? I really thought we could be a good team, we were on a roll, we lose one match and we're now hating each other. Why? Because John can't take a joke. He's too egotistical." Jeff said.
"Ego my ass! I'm tired of carrying a second rate tag team anyway."
"Enough, you 2 will get along, think about this, we are in a situation that's bigger than you, or me. We have to keep the power away from the Paul E. he will ruin and abuse his power, I'm asking you to get along for one night after that then you guys can go back to hating each other's guts, alright?" Dusty said.
John and Jeff looked at each other, then at their girls, they looked at them with looks of you have to do this. They looked back at each other and John stuck out his hand, Jeff looked at it and then shook it. John left to head out for his cage match which is next against CM Punk.
The cage was lowered, CM Punk made his way out with Paul E. right behind him, CM Punk looked up at the cage, Paul E. gave him some last bit of advice, Punk then climbed the cage from the outside and made it to the top and sat there and observed the crowd. He made his way down and into the ring as he waited for John Cena.
John Cena made his way to the ring with Torrie by his side as always, John slowly made his way to the ring, he knew the dangers he was about to enter and endure. He made his way by the cage and tested it out, he kissed Torrie and slowly made his way in. The ways to win are by pinfall, submission or escaping the cage either by the door or over the top.
Punk and Cena went face to face and stared at each other in the center and both men wearing the battle scars from last week. Punk nailed the first forearm, Cena fired back with a right, Punk nailed a forearm, Cena came back with a right, and they were exchanging shots. Punk grabbed his head and nailed some knees to the head of Cena, Punk tried to ram him into the cage but Cena blocked it, and nailed an elbow to the gut to escape. Cena grabbed him and whip him to the ropes, Punk came back and Cena nailed a power slam. Punk got up and Cena nailed him with a clothesline, then another, and then an elbow. Cena tried to launch Punk into the cage but Punk blocked it by jumping on the top rope and showing great balance standing on the top rope. Punk nailed a back kick to back Cena up, Punk jumped off with an axe handle but Cena caught him with a right hand in the gut. Punk was doubled over in pain, Cena grabbed him and rammed him into the cage. Cena grabbed him again and rammed him again into the cage.
Punk rose up and was busted open, Cena grabbed him and delivered a suplex, and made a cover but only got a 2. Cena picked him and rammed him into the turnbuckle, and then started nailing straight right hands to the face, he stomped him down in the corner. Cena picked him up again and whipped him to the opposite corner and followed up with a clothesline. Cena was in complete control, he tried to ram him into the cage again but Punk reversed him and rammed Cena into the cage. Punk was trying to get his thoughts together, Cena was hurt and his face was now busted open as well. Punk was up and rammed Cena again into the steel. Punk then started using his fingers to rip away at the wound on Cena's head, and Cena was screaming in pain. Punk then wedged him in between the ropes and the cage and then started grinding his head into the cage back and forth. Punk grabbed Cena again, and whipped him into the corner and Punk followed up with a running knee to the face and then a running bulldog and made the cover but only got a 2. Punk climbed the top rope, but it took him some time to get up and it allowed Cena to get up, he met Punk up at the top and they were exchanging rights up top. Punk got the advantage and started ramming Cena's head on the top of the cage repeatedly. Cena was wobbly and he got crotched on the top rope. Punk jumped off and nailed a dropkick on Cena turning his body so when he hit him he hit the cage. So Punk hit the dropkick and Cena's head bounced off the cage. Punk made the cover and again got a 2.
Punk picked up Cena and slammed him down, bounced off the ropes and delivered a knee to the head. Punk wasn't done as he dropped an elbow, then a leg drop and made the cover but only got a 2. Punk was getting pissed off so he just started pounding on the head of Cena. Punk started dropping repeating knees to the head. Punk picked him, he set for the Uranage but he was busy talking to the crowd, Cena managed to elbow out of it and push Punk away from him. Cena was up on the ropes catching his breath, Punk was on the other side, Punk shook off the shots and charged Cena, Cena saw him and ducked his shoulder and back dropped Punk into the cage and Punk's back pushed the cage a little bit because of the force.
Cena took his foot and drove it into the face of Punk as he lay between the ropes and the cage forcing Punk's face in the cage. Cena pulled him back and picked him up and whipped him and nailed another back body drop, then a clothesline, then another, and then a shoulder block, Punk took a swing, Cena ducked and went for the Proto-bomb, he instead first drove Punk into the cage back first and then delivered the bomb, he did the "you can't see me" then wiped some blood off his face and slapped Punk in the face with it before hitting the five knuckle shuffle. Cena was setting for the FU, Punk was up and he was up on his shoulders, Cena carried him over to the side again and gave the FU on the cage, then hung on to him and drove him to the other side and did it again before going into the center and delivering it for real. He didn't want the pin, he thought it was enough so he went for the door, Paul E. raced around pushed the ref down, grabbed the door and slammed HARD into the face of Cena and Cena was down. Torrie ran over to confront Paul E. but he stopped and threatened her with his cell phone. Punk was hurting as was Cena who laid unconscious in the ring. Punk started crawling over to Cena, he put an arm over, 1.…2.…NO! Cena kicked out.
Punk got up and was hurting, he went for the door and Paul E. was telling him to get out, Punk was going slowly out, Cena saw this and grabbed a leg of Punk and tried to pull him back in. Punk couldn't free himself, he tried kicking him but he wouldn't let go, Punk went back in and Cena was still hanging on to his leg, Cena nailed him with a low blow and Punk went down. Cena leaped towards the door to escape but Punk grabbed him with one arm as he held his balls with his other. Cena was half way out as Punk tried to pull him out, Paul E. then got on the steps and nailed Cena with his cell phone. Cena fell back in and was out Punk made the cover, 1.…2.…NO! Cena kicked out! Punk was up Paul E. was telling him to get out, but Punk didn't want it that way so he picked up Cena, Cena quickly reacted and rolled through and grabbed a leg and locked on the STFU! Punk was fighting, Punk was desperate as he fought to get out, he was struggling so in a last ditch effort he took his hands and grabbed Cena's trying to break his grip, Punk couldn't do it, so he took his hand poked Cena in the eyes to break it. Cena let go and was stumbling around, Punk got up and nailed him with the Uranage and locked in the Anaconda Vice! Now Cena was in trouble as Punk pulled back. Cena was fighting it, he looked like he was about to tap but he refused to, he had to get one last adrenaline rush to break it as some in the crowd chanted his name, he started fighting, he used is power and got up on his feet, he picked him up with great strength and then rammed Punk face first into the cage breaking the hold.
Both men rose to their feet and then started exchanging shots again as blood went flying, Punk blocked a shot, he kicked Cena in the gut, he hooked his arms and nailed Welcome To Chicago Mother! Punk picked him up again, he grabbed the arm and locked it up, he kneed Cena, grabbed his head and nailed the Devil's Lock DDT. Cena was out, Punk decided to take the over the top way out, he took his time as Cena barely moved, Punk made it to the top and looked down, Punk couldn't resist, he saw him down, the fans were almost telling him to do it , Paul E. was going nuts telling him to get down, Punk turned and set. PUNK JUMPED OFF THE TOP OF THE CAGE WITH A LEG DROP BUT CENA MOVED AND PUNK HIT ALL CANVAS COMPRESSING HIS SPINE AND HE WAS HURT NOW TOO! Both men were down again.
Cena got up first, and he started climbing the cage to escape, he was on the top rope, Punk was getting up holding his ass after that shot he took. Punk raced up there to meet him, he grabbed his leg and pulled him back onto the top rope, Punk kicked him low and Cena was hurting but still on the top ropes. Punk then climbed and got to the top he started to go down, but Cena grabbed his head and hung on to him. Paul E. started climbing on the outside to pull Punk down. Jeff Hardy ran down and climbed it as well as he pulled Paul E. down, and nailed him with a right hand.
Cena still had a hold of Punk and pulled him up and they were at the top, with Cena inside and Punk outside, Cena grabbed a front face lock, he hooked Punk, HE TOOK PUNK OVER AND NAILED A HUGE SUPERPLEX FROM THE TOP ALMOST 15 FT TO THE MAT! Punk was done, Cena draped an arm over, 1.…2.…3! Cena has evened the score, Jeff and Torrie ran in and helped Cena up and Cena looked at Jeff confused then saw Paul E. down, he then hugged Jeff in a thank you like way as they all exited leaving Punk laying in the center of the ring out and in a pool of his own blood.
Backstage Bill Alfonso, Sabu and Rob Van Dam were standing by, and their promo started with Fonzie as usual blowing his whistle a few times before talking.
"Yeah that's right, daddy, I'm Bill Alfonso the man that calls it right down the middle, daddy. And this is the suicidal, homicidal, genocidal maniac, Sabu and this is…"
"Whoa Fonzie, chill, they know who I am, I'm Mr. Monday Night, Mr. Pay Per View and the Whole (bleeping) Show. Now you're wondering why did we turn on Paul E. a few weeks ago, well it's simple we were tired of his crap and the fact that he didn't pay us and we had enough and come Summerslam we will steal the show, Sabu got anything to say?"
Sabu just pointed up as Fonzie blew his whistle some more.
In Dusty's office he's sitting down when Paul E. and CM Punk barged in.
"Listen you fat piece of garbage, I want another shot at John Cena, give me a match against him next week, I will prove that I am better than John Cena!"
"Okay next week, the rubber match will happen CM Punk vs. John Cena, this time in a Last Man Standing Match." Punk looked happy and walked out.
Shelton Benjamin walked out with little time remaining, and he grabbed the mic and made it real simple.
"Alright after thinking about this for the last week, I've made a decision on who I will face at Summerslam." Edge walked out on the ramp and Christian and Tomko watched from the crowd. "I've decided to take on both of you, Edge and Christian. It will be a Triple Threat Match at Summerslam, but why wait let's go right now!"
Christian, came down fast and jumped the rail and got in and started going at it with Shelton as Edge just watched from the entrance way. Shelton got the advantage, he knocked Christian down, Tomko came in and he got nailed as well. Christian stumbled up as Edge started to come down the ramp, Shelton grabbed him and went for the T-Bone, Edge was in the ring, he charged at Shelton and nailed the Spear on Shelton as he held Christian. Shelton was down leaving Edge and Christian in the ring, Edge just stared at him and then started to walk away leaving Christian in the ring. Christian looked at the crowd for a second but that one second allowed Edge to come in and spear Christian! It's every man for himself at Summerslam. Edge grabbed the WWE Title and looked at it, he raised it up high as the show ended.
A/N: Done hope you enjoy this one, now for some thoughts, watching ECW last night and seeing Big Show and Batista get crapped on was funny. Also CM Punk and that's just a taste of what he can really do. As for RAW I never thought I would say this, but watching Candice wrestle, it looks like she improved. I'll admit she did wrestle a decent match with Mickie carrying her, now for me to accept Candice I need to see more improvement and a more dedication to improving, by that I have to her interviews with her saying she's committed to getting better or that acting isn't her passion but I'll give her credit. Finally I'm upset that the WWE title feud was relegated to 5-7 minutes when the McMahon-DX feud rules the show it just angers me but then again if you read this story I'm no different but in the next chapters I hope to focus more on the title picture, anyway enough with that here's a preview:
Next Time: CM Punk takes on John Cena in the rubber match, in a Last Man Standing match. The bloody feud and series ends. Also the Title match just got interesting and we will hear from Christian regarding the match and Edge's spear.
