Chapter 11- Cracks in the Authority

A week or so passed. Orton has become the number one contender and is scheduled for a match at Extreme rules. If he won his match on Smackdown, he gets to pick a stipulation, if Seth wins, he gets to pick one as well. Orton won his, and Seth was going to face Ziggler for his match. Yet instead, he went to my father and demanded an easier opponent

Seth Rollins demanded my dad face him and take a dive for him to gain a stipulation on his match. My dad didn't want to, and was dead against it. But Seth was certain if he called Triple H, the match would happen and the order would be given.

My dad agreed to it, but he was conflicted.

I watched on from the back, worried that my father was about to sacrifice himself for the sake of power, for the sake of the authority. It was what was best for business after all, wasn't it?

But then, on the TV, it showed Daniel Bryan. He found my dad and tried to speak with him, shockingly enough, my father asked him nicely to leave. Daniel knew it wasn't him, it wasn't the Kane he knew. So much so he got my dad pissed off until he was shouting at Bryan to leave.

He did, but told him. "You are not a stooge, don't become one!"

Daniel must have reached him.

I watched the match closely, my father was about ready to take the dive when he kicked out! He defied Seth Rollins, took out J&J security before unleashing hell! I thought he was going to rip the champion a new one!

But after knocking Seth around, he gave in, and allowed the 'Champ' to pin him.

He took the fall, but not before taking some anger our on Seth. The more I watched, the more I saw glimmers of my father come through. What Daniel wanted me to see and the Kane he knew all about.

The week that followed, I began to find myself cheering for my dad. He had enough of Seth Rollin's ways and was putting his foot down as best as he could. In fact, I have seen the look of pure terror come over the face of Seth, especially on Smackdown when he told Seth to take a dive to him. When it was refused, my dad's voice spiked. "LIE DOWN OR I WILL RIP YOUR GUTS OUT!"

It was awesome.

Yet as this all went on, I found myself off the card. I hadn't wrestled a match in two weeks and began to worry. Was this a plan to have me phased out? Was this what my dad planned all along?

A tap came on my shoulder. I turned and saw one of the stage managers passing me a phone. Who would be calling to speak with me? "Hello?"

I felt my heart skip. "Is this Kaden?"

"It is."

"Kaden. I am Jack from WWE head office. How are you?"

"Well…" was all I could say.

"Very good. The board of directors is asking to meet with you sometime tomorrow, will you be able to make it?"

"Yes sir, I can. But may I ask…"

"Just be there for two o'clock. Alright, dress appropriately. We will see you then."

The phone went dead.

Why does head office want to see me?

Or is this their way of showing me the door out of the WWE?
