Chapter 14: Finish Summerslam
Summerslam was drawing to a close but not before we have the WWE Championship match between the champion, Shelton Benjamin and his 2 challengers, Edge and Christian. But first we will look at the Dangerous Evolution's celebration.
In now Paul Heyman's office, the Dangerous Evolution was celebrating with a big party of booze and women, everyone was having a good time except Punk who still looked pissed off and was thinking about something, so he sat down next to Paul E.
"Punk, have some fun we won!"
"No, I won the match for us, but it was stolen by the guy over there telling everyone he did all the work and was solely responsible for the win tonight."
"He's just caught up, I know you did the work and got the win."
"That's right, now about that promise you made me."
"What promise?"
"The promise that if I got along with that dirt bag I get a shot at the WWE Title, now I want my title match tomorrow night!"
"Okay I'll make an announcement right now!" Paul E. stood up on his desk and called for everyone's attention. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to announce that tomorrow night we will see CM Punk will take on……….JEFF HARDY!" Everyone applauded except Punk who just stared a hole into Paul E. and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
"What the hell was that? I want my title shot, not a guy I have beaten before."
"Alright, here's the deal, you TAKE OUT Jeff Hardy for good, I can't stand the guy, and I want him gone, so tomorrow I want him down IN HIS HOMETOWN and out and I think you know what you must do." Punk nodded as he knew but Paul E. could tell something was on his mind as if to say, "then what do I get after that?" Paul E. responded, "Don't worry, after you do the deed you get the title shot the following week." Punk looked at him then left the room to think about the situation.
Elsewhere John Cena was again leaving the arena without changing, Torrie chased after him and he stopped as she began to talk.
"John, don't let this get to you either, I know this was tough and it was probably the tougher loss you've taken and I'm sorry about it but you have to continue on and think about the future and how you can make yourself better after this. Like tomorrow night, Jeff takes on Punk and you know he will have backup but Jeff needs backup will you help him?"
"I will help him don't worry, he will be victorious now I'm going to leave, you go catch a ride with someone else I just need to be alone." John said as he left leaving Torrie looking on concerned.
