Sorry for the delay but I wanted to make up for my lack of creativity on my last chapter, so I hope this one will make up for it!!

Chapter 21: Goodbyes and returns

The night kicked off with me and Jericho brawling down to the ring, we were just fighting, nothing more but eventually both security and WWE personnel restrained us both but we still continued to fight.

As I dived right into him laying in lefts and right into him, he struck back with the same offence but more and more people were trying to separate us.

"Gentleman!! Gentleman!! Please calm down, this rivalry has gone too far now and I'm sick of the amount of fighting, backstabbing and aggressiveness, that you've both shown because it all ends here…tonight!!" said the GM Mike Adamle.

The crowd popped to that statement, as he wasn't finished.

"You two will compete tonight, it will be Chris Jericho defending the Intercontinental Championship against Xander Cage….

…..in a Last man standing match!!

Oh and also……

It's LOSER LEAVES RAW!!" He announced.

This was a major match made, and the stakes could not be higher, if I lose I must leave Raw, but it was a chance to vanquish my nemesis from here, once and for all!!

LOCKER ROOM

"That was some show last night, you guys pulled it off and became Undisputed Tag Team Champions!!" I said.

"Yeah it was, but it's the amounts of pain we're both feeling, I took a hard fall from the top rope after Cena F-U'ed me off of there right through the table." Jeff said while clutching his shoulder.

"It was a nasty one as I saw, but didn't you take an even worse one off of Batista, Matt?" I asked.

"Sure did, he bombed me right on top of Jeff, it hurt him more than it did me." he explained.

"But your night wasn't the best, I mean you had the match won, until Cade got involved." Jeff said.

"Yeah but I got my revenge, but looking back at that….it scared me a little, I never thought I could get that violent, I've done stuff like that but with a crazy look in my eye….

"We've all done it man, I remember when The Undertaker was going through his Big Evil phase he destroyed both Jeff and Lita, while I watched in New York. The rage built inside me as I saw him hurt them both, I wanted revenge so bad but it didn't help me beat him." Matt explained.

"I know what ya mean, I need that viciousness tonight if I'm gonna regain the Intercontinental title and banish Jericho from Raw." I stated.

This was gonna be a highlight or a downfall in my career, as I knew this was gonna be a night I would never forget.

LATER ON

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is a last man standing match for the Intercontinental Championship!!

The loser of this match must leave Raw!!" Lillian announced.

Bleed it out hit as I came out to a huge ovation as it may be my final night on Raw, as I greeted the fans and made my way down to the ring ready to do battle with the man I have had such hatred for.

Break the walls hit as I saw the champ showing his belt above his head as he strutted down to the ring with fans really showing their displeasure for Y2J as he just flipped them off while making his way down.

I didn't wanna wait as I just leaped out of the ring and flew right into him sending us both down, the ref called the bell to start the match, I grabbed him by his hair and just nailed a few fists into it, I began bouncing his head off of the barricade near the entrance ramp.

I took him to the ramp and right onto it I hit a snap suplex on him, he began to reel in pain as he hit. I got the crowd fired up as the ref began counting 1-2-3-4 I got him up and I brought him back to the ring and as I got in he saw his opportunity and began stomping the hell out of me, he wasn't letting me get a second to recover, he continued the assault by going to the outside and going under the ring to find a weapon.

He pulled out a garbage can full of them as he tossed them into the ring, I was still recovering from his attack on me and had no idea what he was up to. He grabbed the nearest weapon to him which was a kendo stick, I slowly got to my feet and turned around to meet the stick right in the gut, then in my sides and followed by the skull as it cracked over it, echoing throughout the arena in Baltimore.

He was getting a little cocky as I was down, but I willed myself up and he was a little shaken but went to grab another weapon, he picked up a garbage can lid. He positioned himself ready to strike, he went for it, but missed as I saw him comin at me with it, which I countered into a backflip kick to the temple, knocking him down.

I managed to regain some strength and wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine, so I looked for a suitable weapon, and grabbed a garbage can, I waited until he got up and, WHAM!! Nailed him on the head with hit, then placing it on top of him, blinding and trapping him. I grabbed a chair from ringside went back in and smacked it right into the can rocking Jericho right out of it, literally.

I could feel the confidence building as I threw him to the outside, and I followed, but I began clearing the announce table, as I brought him to it. He was still dazed from the shot I gave him as I got on top of the table with him I set up for the Rage in the Cage, I went for it but he caught me off guard and countered into the Break Down, through the table!!

I was out, he got to his feet as the ref began counting, 1-2-3, I could hear him counting and I dug deep to get strength to get to my feet, 4-5, I was on my knees but I needed more, 6-7-8, I was on one foot, 9- I got up just in the nick of time!!

As soon as I did he struck me from behind, and began stomping on me, he then got me up and threw me into the steel steps back first, I was enduring enough pain but this just added more on to it. I was back in the ring as I was thrown hard into the turnbuckle, I came out and hit with a bulldog, followed by a Lionsault right on my back, he was targeting it as I was showing my weakness to him he wanted to make me suffer, he then locked in the Walls as I was being punished and was tapping he kept on going, ignoring the ref, but letting me go after about three minutes.

He just looked at me as I layed there, I was in so much agony I had no idea what was happening but I knew I had to get back into the match. But my senses came back I as I heard a count, 4-5- I got up just barely but I just stood defiantly, it just pissed him off, as he ran at me and I responded with a jumping kick to his head, and following some fists and some more kicks.

I wasn't stopping for a minute, as I continued the assault on him but now I needed to finish him off he was down so I began going to the outside and grab a couple of tables, slid them in the ring but I decided to bring in a ladder, as I slid it in I began setting the tables up and I stacked them on top of each other, and I set the ladder up which was right beside both tables, but out of nowhere I was nailed in the head with the pipe again!!

Jericho was up and he saw what I did and grabbed me by the head and took me up the ladder with him, I was dizzyingly going up there, as he got me to the top he was going to superplex me from there. He made several attempts but I was fighting him off with all I had left I grabbed his head out of sheer desperation and rammed it into the bottom of the ladder, I did it a few times until he was vulnerable for an attack.

From the top of the ladder I nailed an inverted DDT sending us both down through both tables!!

"HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT!!" was the response the crowd gave as we were both layed out there, the count began.

I was up and he was down and out, I did it!!

I had finally defeated my rival, won back my title and now banished him from Raw.

I was ecstatic, as I held my tile up and I was all over the place but I saw security coming to take Jericho away I looked at him as he did as well and I waved goodbye to him.

I grabbed a mic.

"Na-na-na-na, na-na-naaa-naaa, heeeyyy, ggooodddbyyee!!" I sang as the crowd sang along with me.

He was dragged out of there kicking and screaming as I continued to humiliate him, this was the greatest night of my career, the night I banished Y2J from Raw!!

NEXT MONDAY NIGHT

I had got off a huge match last week and was not competing tonight but I got a few props for my match though, and I earned more respect around the locker room.

But this night was gonna be different as I went to the locker room to watch a match alongside one of my good friends.

"Hey dude, how ya feelin?" Jeff asked.

"I'll live, just sore that's all, hey where's Matt at?" I asked.

"Well that's why I'm watchin, ya see we got word from our beloved GM that we have to defend out tiles against a tag team, and Matt right now is facing one half of them." he explained.

"Ok but why aren't you out there?" I asked.

"He wanted to do this by himself, I respect that." he answered.

"let's hope you're both right." I said.

Live for the moment hit and out came Matt Hardy V1 in his usual entrance with his now new one half of the Undisputed Tag Team titles around his waist, he rally showed appreciation to the fans as he made his way down to the ring and got ready for his opponent.

We were all in anticipation……

You think you know me…

Mettalingus hit and out came The Rated R Superstar himself, Edge!! I t was a shock to see him on Raw again, I knew he was banished from Smackdown! At Cyber Sunday thanks to The Undertaker, but he's jumped ship back to Raw and is gunning for the tag titles but with who?

The bell rang and they went at it, the match was fast paced and both men, who of course have history with each other, I remember the affair Edge had with Matt's girlfriend Lita, I mean how could you do that to someone you've known your entire career and is also your friend?

As I watched Matt just nailed the xtreme leg drop from the second rope and followed up with from the second rope an elbow to the back of his head. He could feel the momentum as he threw Edge into the turnbuckle and went for the bulldog, but he had it scouted and held on to the ropes as Matt went flying landing on his back as the ultimate opportunist began the assault.

He was relentless, he used the Edgucator to inflict pain on Matt's knees, and Matt has a history of knee problems. But luckily he got to the ropes and the hold was broken and The Rated R Superstar was beginning to get frustrated so he wanted to finish this, he waited for Matt to get to his feet and was going for a Spear.

He went for it but Matt dodged it and sent Edge into the turnbuckle and followed up with a side effect, 1-2 nope a near fall, Matt readied himself to deliver the Twist of Fate, as he was going to someone came out of nowhere and into the ring and nailed him causing a disqualification, the person was Randy Orton!! It was revealed who Edge has aligned with for next week.

They began to beat down Matt and it wasn't long before Jeff and me made our way down to save him and they exited quickly as we looked on at them daring them to get back in.

"Gentleman please!! Can I have your attention!!"

It was our GM Mike Admle.

"I can see here that your all raring to go right now, but I'm afraid that can't happen tonight…but however since the champs and challengers are going at it next week I would like to announce a Survivor Series match which will feature Team Rated RKO vs. Team Hardy in a classic Survivor Series Elimination match, so choose your team-mates wisely!!" he announced.

Amazing , at Survivor Series it will be a classic Survivor Series Elimination match and yes they did ask me to be on their team and I gladly accepted, I just wanted to kick their asses.

Well now this looks like it could be a heated rivalry between both teams!!

What you think? Reviews please!!
