Chapter 14: Coach

MONDAY NIGHT

The fallout of RoadBlock was being felt as the main event of WrestleMania was determined and now tonight there would be a contract signing for the match as both champion and challenger would be in the ring to make the match official.

But also tonight was the official retirement of Daniel Bryan a moment no one would forget.

David was backstage still a bit bruised from his match but was still able to make it in and was now in the hallway having a conversation with Daniel Bryan over his retirement tonight.

"So this is really happening?" David asked not sure if this was true.

"I've been playing this over and over in my head and tried telling myself it's not real but I have to do this, not just for me but for my family." Bryan said as he didn't want to do this.

"I get it but it's just not going to be the same here without you around." David said as he felt a bit down about this also.

"Yeah it won't be the same for me not be here doing what I love to do but…dammit this sucks!" Bryan said in frustration on how this situation has taken wrestling away from him.

"I can't imagine never being able to not wrestle again and at WrestleMania it could happen." David then made the realization that he would be facing the same dilemma.

As Bryan then put a hand to his shoulder. "David you've got this, Hunter is not going to win as a matter of fact I was in the same situation I had everything to lose but this match your both having is going to be historical and if I'm going out I want to go out in a way that Hunter and Stephanie won't forget." he said as David heard him out.

The contract signing for WrestleMania's main event was about to go underway with Michael Cole in the ring and a setup of a table and two chairs.

"Ladies and Gentlemen tonight we will have the official singing for the main event of WrestleMania's WWE World Heavyweight Championship match, so without further ado I would like to introduce to you first the challenger he is the youngest world champion in history, The Red Dragon David Redd." he introduced.

New divide hit as out came David who was in street gear as he walked down to the ring and stepped inside as he greeted Cole and took a seat in one chair.

"And finally we have the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, the COO of WWE and he is The Game, The Cerebral Assassin and The King of Kings, Triple H." Cole introduced next.

The Game hit and out came the reigning champion who was in full suit with his title on his shoulders made his way out looking confident as he walked down to the ring and not taking his eyes off of his challenger as he got into the ring greeted Cole and took a seat across from his opponent.

"Gentlemen this-" Cole was interrupted by Hunter who told him to leave them as he did just that.

"We haven't actually sat down and talked at all have we?" Hunter asked.

"Not my knowledge because each time we've been in the same vicinity we end up punching each other in the face." David answered as Hunter chuckled a little.

"So let's talk, when we discovered you on our tour of Europe I had heard of this young guy winning a tournament in a promotion in Norway so I asked that you be given a tryout and just so you know I was there that day watching from the back and I say this with honesty I was impressed that someone that young was able to wrestle that good so I signed you and the rest is history." Hunter said admitting he was right about singing David.

"This entire thing has been a hell of a journey for me I never thought in my wildest dreams I'd be here in WWE but somehow I made it and all I have done is go after the biggest and the baddest and I will say this right now you are a worthy adversary probably one of my most formidable because no one has done the things that you've done to me and I respect that." David admitted that Hunter was his ultimate opponent.

"I'll admit you've been tenacious and each time I've knocked you down, you got back up and hit twice as hard but now this right here is where I put you down for good, when I beat you at WrestleMania you can never ever wrestle again, I will extinguish the raging fire that is The Red Dragon David Redd." Hunter stated as he grabbed the contract and signed it and pushed it towards David.

David gave a small chuckle as that comment and had a quick look at the contract. "You're right about me getting knocked down I always hit people twice as hard but one thing you forgot, unlike you…I always follow through on my promises and at WrestleMania I'll dethrone The King of Kings and do what no one has done and stop you getting your grubby hands on that championship ever again." David stated as he signed the contract making it official.

"Even though I can't reach over there and give you the beating of your life it doesn't mean they can." Hunter said as in came Noble and Mercury.

They went after David as he tried to fend them off as he dropped Mercury with a heel kick and Noble he grabbed into the full nelson front lock and drove several knees into him while Hunter was already on the outside but then began to smile…

HE WAS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY KANE!

The Big Red Machine now as Demon Kane was assaulting David as he just drops him with an uppercut as he looks to send David to hell as he was measuring him and wrapped his hand around his throat A CHOKES-NO DAVID GOT OUT! He went on the attack of Kane and took him down with a thesz press drilling him with fists as The Red Dragon was unleashed.

David then dared The Game to enter the ring as Hunter stared him down then took off his blazer and tie and marched to the ring and got up onto the apron as he was about to get in but then stopped and stood on the apron just staring at him as then David was grabbed by both Noble and Mercury as they got him by his legs and had him down on the mat while Hunter watched on Kane sat up and joined in on the beating as Hunter barked orders at them.

"Send him to hell!" Hunter ordered as Noble and Mercury grabbed the table and set it up as Kane once again wrapping his hand around David's throat and took him up and A CHOKESLAM THROUGH THE TABLE!

David was left in a heap as Hunter went back into the ring and stood over David as he had a mic in his hands.

"Whether it's one on one, inside a steel cage or making you say I Quit your not going to leave WrestleMania unscathed and what just happened now is a taste of things to come and just to remind you if we somehow get to a third fall…there's always Plan B." he said throwing the mic down and leaving the ring as his minions followed him but David began to move from the wreckage and looked on towards Hunter who gave him a smirk as he left.

0-0-0-0-0

The retirement of Daniel Bryan was already underway as Bryan gave his farewell speech as everyone gave him a huge ovation as then out came the entire roster to thank him and say farewell as he was about to step to the outside he then stopped and got back into the ring.

"Actually I'm not exactly leaving as I have one more thing to do before I go and that is with both of you Hunter and Stephanie!" Bryan called them out as they took centre stage.

"Reliving some of my moments made me think a lot and if I left now then I leave the crusade I started to get rid of you both behind, so I've decided to go but I'm going out with a bang as I will be the official Coach to David Redd for his match at WrestleMania!" a huge announcement made by the now retired Leader of the Yes Movement.

"I'm gonna teach him everything I know and he's gonna kick your ass Hunter!" Bryan stated as the chants began.

"YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!"

The place erupted into Yes chants as The Authority had been put on notice that Daniel Bryan was not leaving without getting one over his enemies.

David was backstage in the trainer's room being checked over after he was forced to go there by his other half.

"I don't need this." David moaned as the doctor was checking on him.

"You won't go to the hospital so I'm making you do this now!" Paige said swatting him across the back of his head.

"That's making it worse!" David complained of his girlfriend causing him more pain.

"Nothing up there for me to make worse." she said mocking the lack of anything upstairs.

As then in came Daniel Bryan who just fresh off of his retirement and his announcement to help David at WrestleMania.

"David as your coach I am advising you to do as your told." he told him.

"What are you my mother?" David said as he was getting a bit annoyed he was being told what to do.

Paige then responded by pulling out her phone. "Want me to call mum right now?" she said as she had her finger on the quick dial.

"Fine!" David said quickly as he reluctantly continued his check up.

"He's ok no injuries or concussions you're good to go." the doctor said as David was given a clean bill of health.

"With that done, we are going to start training and it begins tomorrow." Bryan said as David stood up to face him.

"Hunter, Stephanie and the rest of their minions won't know what hit them after this." David said.

MONDAY NIGHT

Raw kicked off with Hunter in the ring with Kane, Noble and Mercury who last week ambushed David during the contract signing for WrestleMania and the ring was also occupied by several Police officers.

"Tonight I'm out here to react to Daniel Bryan's retirement and to his current role with David Redd." Hunter said as the WWE Universe was still loving his announcement last week that he was now David's coach.

"All I have to say is that this is a joke! Daniel I know your not coping well with retirement but this is not the way to deal with it helping David Redd kick my ass? Yeah I'll give you props for defeating me at WrestleMania thirty but now this is just sad, your crusade ended when you injured your neck and then this punk picks up your scraps and rolls it into an avalanche and got a few lucky punches in but we saw how that ended the last time for him?" Hunter said as the place erupted into boos.

"Now you're all wondering why I have all these fine officers here? Well it's in case a certain someone decides to get a bit aggressive after I orchestrated along with these gentlemen the assault and humiliation of David Redd." Hunter bragged about last week as he had it shown on the titantron.

"Man I could watch that over and over again, it's just how it will go down for him this Sunday when he and I fight for this championship." Hunter held it up. "I will give David Redd his personal hell and I don't care if it takes two falls or the final fall which I'm hoping for when I get to beat you merciless in any way I want to and best part about that there are no consequences all I have to do is make you say…I QUIT!" Hunter stated.

New divide hit and out came The Red Dragon who walked down to the ring with a mic in hand.

Making me say I Quit? Now that's a picture just like the one you showed just now of what you all did to me last week." David said entering the ring as the police officers began to form a wall in front of him.

"David this right here is to protect yourself from doing anything stupid." Hunter said as David then gave a smirk.

"The only stupid thing that's about to happen is this…officers these men admitted to assaulting me last week and I would like you to do your jobs and arrest these men!" David said pressing charges against The Authority.

The Officers turned their attention to The four men behind them and began to place them in handcuffs as they were arguing with officers over this as they then began to take them away.

"Oh Hunter don't worry I'll hold on to this for you." David said as Hunter looked to see he was in possession of his title and that drove him insane as he was ranting and raving his way

David was with his coach who was discussing his plans for the recent even that just took place.

"So what's the plan here? I mean sure getting them arrested was an awesome idea and watching Hunter being dragged off like that was hilarious but still why?" Bryan asked as he was curious to this plan.

As then Stephanie McMahon approached them. "You're about to find out." David said.

"You think this is funny?!" Stephanie shouted at him.

"No this is me making my rights known as a victim of crime but you could persuade me to drop said charges?" David made the offer.

"How many zeros do I have to write to get you to drop this?" Stephanie asked.

"No Stephanie you misunderstand me I'm not after a payday I just want you to do something for me and I want you to do it in the ring." David announced.

0-0-0-0-0

Raw came back on air and both Stephanie McMahon and David Redd who was still in possession of the WWE World Heavyweight title were in the ring.

"Now Stephanie I said I would drop these charges but I need something from you." David said.

"You have any idea what is going to happen if you do this?!" she said as David laughed at her statement.

"I've got a clear picture but until then I want this…apologise Stephanie, I want you to apologise to not just the locker room but to the people." David made his demands clear.

Stephanie looked as if she was going to combust hearing him ask this as she was very tempted to say no to his demand but knew what was best and it was for business.

"I am sorry to the superstars of WWE and to the WWE Universe for my actions." Stephanie made an apology.

David did not look impressed. "Now Stephanie I think we can do better than that, you did not sound sincere and also I think the locker room should hear this for themselves." David said as the entire WWE locker room showed themselves on top the ramp to witness this.

"You really have no idea what you've gotten yourself into." Stephanie said as she was seething right now.

"Yes but until then start your apology." David said.

"ON YOUR KNEES! ON YOUR KNEES! ON YOUR KNEES!" the crowd chanted as David was chuckling at hearing that from the WWE Universe.

"You heard them, on your knees." David made another demand.

Stephanie was now enraged but she swallowed her pride and slowly got down on her knees and brought the mic up.

"I am truly sorry for the pain and suffering that The Authority has caused and we beg of your forgiveness." she made a very genuine apology to the locker room and the WWE Universe.

She got up to face him "Are you happy now?!" she shouted in his face.

"Well not quite, didn't you mention the amount of zeros to make this go away?" he said as she was even more enraged with his demands.

"How much?" she asked as David laughed.

"Not what I want but for them." David pointed to the roster. "How about a raise not for just the men and women up there but to all the men and women who work this show day in and day out, the production crew, the ring crew, the people who do our outfits, the people who serve us food, the people who do the cleaning, every one of those people deserve a raise because they have put up with you and your husbands antics for far too long!" he stated as the place went loud from that.

"A ten percent raise." Stephanie replied.

"GIVE THEM FIFTY! GIVE THEM FIFTY! GIVE THEM FIFTY!" the crowd chanted.

"You've got to love them." David made the WWE Universe's voice heard.

"Are you all FREAKING deluded?!" Stephanie could not believe the level of demands that were made.

"No I'm just doing what you need to start doing and that is listen to the people because without them there is no WWE, without them there is no WWE Superstars, without them there is no David Redd and without them there is no Authority so I am telling you right now to listen to them." David said.

She gave it some thought and looked him in the eye. "If that's what they want then…I say YES!" she agreed to the raise as the place and all WWE staff were ecstatic on the massive raise they would be getting.

"Was that hard to do?" he asked as Stephanie was ready to explode as David then pulled out a phone and called the local police station. "Hello yes my name is David Thomas Reddington the sixth." he gave his full name to the officer on the phone. "I am calling to officially drop the charges against one Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Kane, Joseph Mercury and James Noble…yes thank you sir." he said hanging up.

"Now before we get to anything I'd like to say yes that is my full name." he said getting a laugh from the crowd.

Stephanie however wasn't in a laughing mood. "Since you feel the need to punish why don't you do that right now!" she said.

"GONG!" the ominous sound was heard as the lights went out…and then came back on as in the ring was The Deadman himself as David did not take his eyes off a sight he never thought he would experience and be in the ring with The Phenom who took off his coat and then his hat and with those cold, dead eyes he stared at David who then took his hoodie off as a staredown between The Red Dragon and The Deadman was underway.

DAVID THREW A FIST! The fight was on as both men went strike for strike as David went for a a clothesline he was met with big boot as Undertaker was poising for a chokeslam…

Here comes the money!…

Here comes the money hit and out came Undertaker's opponent for WrestleMania Shane McMahon who rushed down to the ring and attacked The Phenom as they went at it with the fight spilling to the outside.

David had the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in his hand and had a mic and was looking to Stephanie.

"Stephanie…Tell your husband to remember this night, tell him that I am coming with all that I've got and he can keep this." David laid the championship flat on the ground. "Because this Sunday at WrestleMania this ends!" he stated as he left.

David had made a bold move against The Authority and now the Road to WrestleMania was now about to lead to chaos, anarchy, carnage and possibly doom for one of these men as the WWE World Heavyweight Championship would be on the line with both men having something to lose.

This may not end well for someone. WrestleMania is around the corner will David be able to regain his property? Or will Hunter have Plan B?
