Smackdown, West Virginia, 8pm
After Smackdown went live DX called ATM and asked how Seth and Sacha were doing. Amy said they were doing a lot better and that Seth was still set on going to Jerusalem with Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose on Thursday.
"But what about Seth's honeymoon?" Hunter asked Shawn.
"Sacha's going to wait until they come back," Shawn replied and Hunter smiled.
"What a girl, Stephanie would never have let me postpone our honeymoon so I could get you healed of cancer Shawn," Hunter said.
"I know," Shawn said. "Joanie said tell Hunter to remember he's lucky to have me,"
Joanie was with ATM who were still in New York with Sacha, Seth, the Shield and the rest of the RAW locker room.
"Tell everyone to travel safe to Chicago," Hunter said and Shawn passed the message on. "With Stephanie on the rebound you never know who's safe in New York,"
"Everyone says you married the right woman," Shawn told Hunter speaking of Joanie and Shawn hung up after telling Amy he loved her. "Man this has got to be so rough for Jeff, especially with Seth and Sacha just getting married,"
"Stephanie's a loser and Jeff needed the ultimaate wake up call, finding out how Stephanie continues to feel about me after all this time was just that - a wake up call," Hunter said with his eyes on AJ Styles leaving the gorilla position.
"And if we know Steph, this is only the beginning. Everytime Steph acts up things get really rough for the DX family and the wrestling world in general. It's a good thing the Shield are going to Jerusalem," Shawn said sitting next to Hunter.
"Yes and we're going with them," Hunter said and Shawn frowned.
"No we're not, why would we go with them Hunter that would be the last thing they want," Shawn argued.
"I want to be there for them, especially Roman. The lie Stephanie told about Seth really damaged my relationship with him, what better way to show them that we care about them than by going with them on their healing trip to Jerusalem?" Hunter replied. "Plus if Jesus returns we'll have a front row seat,"
Shawn shook his head, "When Jesus returns it won't matter where you are you'll hear him, trust me on that," Shawn said.
"What if I'm in the shower and I've got my music on real loud?" Hunter asked and Shawn sighed.
"You would still hear him. Imagine what thunder sounds like turned to the highest volume ever invented. He would be louder than that," Shawn said.
"So he won't need a mic?" Hunter said and Shawn took off his headset and headed to the gorilla position before he threw Hunter head first into the sound board for being such a Bonehead.
"You better thank God you got a son at Harvard, only he could be smart enough to put up with you. I need a time out," Shawn said watching AJ Styles wrestle Daniel Bryan. "You think some of the other Superstars will want to come to Jerusalem with us?"
"Sure let's invite everybody they care about Roman too, as long as they realise its not a work thing," Hunter said. "I intend on doing as little work as possible,"
"You mean like now?" Shawn said as Hunter missed a cue for AJ's finisher. "Oops, AJ's not gonna like the fact that I missed the Styles Clash, maybe a trip to Jerusalem will be my apology to him,"
"This isn't a trip for AJ Styles, this is a trip for Seth in his first walk in Christian faith, even though he totally blew it with Jeff this morning. That kid needs to learn to control his temper," Shawn said and Hunter rolled his eyes. "What?"
"Easy there oh Indignant One, it doesn't take much to set you and Amy off. The slightest thing causes you guys to go nuts, how is Seth sticking up for Roman any different from what you guys do when people piss you off?"
"You are a Bonehead," Shawn replied. "You know the difference between what Seth did and what me and Amy do,"
"So you won't admit that its the same," Hunter said.
"No, its not the same and you know its not the same, you're just trying to make a point based on nothing like always," Shawn replied.
"So you're saying I'm a Bonehead," Hunter replied and Shawn nodded. "Well this Bonehead doesn't care what you think,"
Shawn refused to leave the curtain all night afraid that sitting next to Hunter would give him a brain disease. He was looking forward to the trip to Jerusalem though, he wondered what Seth was hoping to achieve. If it was what they all wanted it was bound to be the most important trip of the year.
Meanwhile back in New York...
The Ortons told the RAW locker room that they would not be leaving New York until the next day because of a delay. The delay was the witch of the Hudson River, it seems that she had come back after Seth Rollins attacked Jeff Hardy which gave ATM great cause for concern. So it meant that the RAW locker room was staying put for the time being until the witch of the Hudson River had been dispatched again.
Randy Orton and John Morrison kept Seth with them much to Sacha's sadness, it eventually got too much for her and she insisted on being with him too.
"Trish I don't understand why I can't be with my husband right now, he needs me I'm his wife we should be together," Sacha protested.
"This is a very dangerous time Sacha, the witch of the Hudson River is loose and Randy and John just want to make sure Seth hasn't opened himself up to her attack," Trish explained and Sacha covered her mouth in shock.
"You think Seth could be in trouble?" Sacha said. "I'll deal with that witch, where she at? If she even tries to touch a hair on my husband's head I'll send her to Hell in tears!"
"Its not like that Sacha, this is a different type of fight, one that you are not equipped to fight. I don't know all the details yet but whatever happened with Jeff and Steph has put this city in serious jeapardy. Since Seth is now a Prayer Warrior it is likely that the witch will target him. Randy and John just want to prepare Seth for an encounter with this spirit that can manifest in many different forms," Trish said and Amy squeezed Sacha's shoulder.
"Its for your protection too," she explained gently. "Now that you and Seth are married, we want to make sure he is able to protect you from the witch too,"
"So what are Randy and John doing, are they just praying for Seth?" Sacha said. "I can do that,"
ATM shook their pretty heads, "No," the said in unison.
"Then what are they doing to my husband?" Sacha said nervously.
"They're giving him power," Melina said. "It comes from God but it can only be transferred when Randy and John push it into him,"
"Does it hurt, this power transfer?" Sacha said.
"Well it depends on where Seth is in his Christian walk. If he's in the flesh he'll fight it, but if his heart is open to Jesus Christ like he prayed that he would be, then it should be a piece of cake," Trish replied.
"I see, well given that Seth spent all of our wedding night praying for Roman in his hotel room closet, I feel good about this power thing going well," Sacha said.
"So you're saying that you think is heart is ready?" Amy asked and Sacha nodded.
"Even though he pummelled a hungover Jeff Hardy for talking smack to Roman Reigns within hours of saying those prayers," Melina said and Sacha sighed.
"Okay so he's a little rough around the edges, he's been in the Shield a lot longer than he's been a Christian guys give him a break," Sacha replied in her husband's defense.
"That's why Randy and John are with him now, if he's not ready for this it'll come out tonight that he's not ready. If he is, the power will rest with him in peace, if he isn't it'll stay with God, simple," Trish explained and Sacha sighed heavily.
"When Seth gave his life to the Lord I was so happy and I know Roman was over the moon. I just hope he hasn't blown it," Sacha said and ATM embraced her to show her support.
"Any step towards God brings challenges, what Seth is going through is no different than what any of us went through when we first became Christians," Amy explained. "We didn't know anything about the Anointing,"
"Or the Truth," Trish added.
"Or miracles," Melina added.
"But look at us now, we're ATM over a decade later, we're stronger than ever before and the enemy is not happy about that," Trish said.
"And now that we're bringing in more people like Seth into the Kingdom of God, the enemy is even madder," Melina said.
"That's why we're still here in New York, the enemy doesn't want Seth to take Roman to Jerusalem because he doesn't want him to be healed of cancer," Trish said.
"But by the grace of God, we'll win again and the enemy is defeated," Amy declared.
"Amen," they all said together.
"Amen," Sacha said and a little while later, Randy knocked on Trish's bedroom door.
"He's ready," he told his wife referring to Seth and ATM headed to the guest bedroom where Seth was sitting with Roman and Dean and RJ and Remi. The latter were leaning over Seth while Roman and Dean were asleep at his feet. Sacha noticed how white Seth's skin was, it was like ivory like if she touched it the surface would ripple. Remi straightened his prayer shawl and Randy Jr rested his hands on Seth's shoulder.
"Seth, did you feel the power of God come over you when Randy and John prayed for you?" Trish asked him directly and Seth nodded.
"Sacha I'm sorry I was in here so long, are you mad that our first day as husband and wife has gone down like this?" Seth asked his wife who came over to him with slight hesitation. "What's wrong are you mad?"
"No Seth, its just the opposite. I'm crazy with love," Sacha said in admiration of her husband's spiritual growth and she kissed him lovingly on the lips.
"Careful, there's still some power over here," Randy Orton told Sacha. "It is highly contagious to other Christians,"
"Yeah you might wanna spend the night with ATM, let Seth stay with us tonight," John said. "Roman could be cancer free before the morning if Seth stays up in prayer. Going to bed with Sacha might impede the healing process,"
"No problem," Sacha said and Seth sighed.
"I wanna sleep with my wife," he complained.
"You can sleep with me tomorrow okay?" Sacha said seeing the ripple of frustration in Seth's face, she wanted to sleep with him too.
Trish saw both their frustration and God told her to call an audible.
"Actually you guys go to bed, we'll stay here with Roman," she said and Seth and Sacha looked at her nervously.
"Are you sure Trish? Is that the right thing to do?" Seth asked Truth.
"Hey I'm the Truth: Trish Stratus I can't lie and I only say what God tells me to say, its fine go have sex. We'll see you in the morning," Trish said firmly and she didn't have to repeat herself again. Seconds later ATM were alone with Randy, John, RJ and Remi and Seth and Sacha were in bed making love.
"God bless those newlyweds," John Morrison said and Melina hugged him remembering when they were newlyweds. The first few weeks of Seth and Sacha's marriage was very important and God wanted to make sure they enjoyed it, even with the witch of the Hudson River around. It was nothing ATM couldn't deal with and now that the power of God was with Seth, the witch's plans were going to fail for sure.
Sacha caressed Seth's warm body enjoying every second of his touch wandering how much power could be transferred between them now that they were married. She never thought in a million years that God would be on her mind as her husband made love to her but life was full of pleasant surprises. Seth couldn't believe he was making love to Sacha again in New York, when they should have been in Chicago leaving the Big Apple way behind. He was determined to get everything done this week; make love, rock Chicago and get Roman in the healing pool at Bethsaida, Jerusalem. The making love part was good and he still loved to wrestle in front of live crowds but there was something about praying that took him over completely. It was weird that a God he never believed existed would give him the gift of prayer that had no receipt, Seth could pray all night with no problem now. It was that easy. He pressed against Sacha and filled her up with himself before laying back and looking up at the ceiling, the sprawl of pink hair covering his chest after Sacha collapsed on his chest in pure ecstasy.
"That was amazing, Seth you're the man, I don't care what Becky Lynch says," Sacha said and Seth kissed Sacha's outstetched hand.
"No she's the man, we just have different bodies that's all," Seth replied.
"I love your body," Sacha said turning onto her belly and she straddled her husband and pulled him up to her for a deep kiss that seemed to last forever. "I want to be with you forever,"
"Done," Seth replied.
"Huh?" Sacha asked.
"Its done, you just prayed that we would be together for ever and God says it's done," Seth said.
"So we'll be together forever?" Sacha said and Seth nodded. "So that means you'll never leave me for another woman?"
"That's exactly what it means," Seth said.
"Not even Bayley?" Sacha said and Seth burst out laughing. "Its not funny Seth, she really hurt me when she took all her clothes off and stood naked in front of you on our wedding night,"
"Yeah well Bayley's got problems, being naked is not one of them though. Bayley's hot," Seth said and Sacha rolled her eyes.
"She's not as hot as me," Sacha said confidently.
"Well of course she isn't, you're on a whole other level of hotness Banks. What on Earth was Bayley thinking doing that though?" Seth wondered caressing his wife's hot body.
"I never found out but no worries, Alexa is already on it. We'll know by tomorrow," Sacha said and Seth kissed his wife gently.
"You have to forgive her you know, you can't hold any grudges against Bayley for what she did," Seth said seriously. "I've been reading up on what Jesus said about forgiveness and he said that if we don't forgive each other, then God won't forgive us. If you don't forgive Bayley for what she did, then I won't get my prayer for Roman to be healed of cancer answered. Please forgive her Sacha," Seth pleaded with his wife and Sacha nodded with a deep breath.
"Of course I'll forgive her Seth, I want Roman to be healed too. I just wish this never happened, I thought Bayley would be my best friend forever, the Bayley I loved would never do anything like that to me. She really hurt me baby," Sacha said and Seth rubbed his wife's warm sun-kissed shoulders compassionately, "That feels good," Sacha said letting Seth's hands run up and down her long neck.
"Bayley who right?" Seth said changing the subject enjoying the vision of his wife's post bliss moments. He could really get used to being married to the Boss. He pulled her towards him with a strong embrace and they proceeded to make love again, all night in fact, while the rest of the Orton household decoded the next series of events that were about to take place that night in New York that were far less pleasant.
