SummerSlam – 2 weeks away

Smells like Teen Spirit hit and Seth Hardy walked out to a huge boo from the crowd. He was anticipating this. He entered the ring and grabbed a microphone.

He waited for the boos to die down before speaking. "Do you really think all your reactions are going to get to me?" The crowd booed again. "Obviously not. Anyway, I just wanted to say to your "hero" Owen…" the crowd gave out a deafening cheer. "… That as of right now, the match at Summerslam is Triple Threat." The crowd booed again. "And guess who the third man is. I'll give you all a little hint. He's the guy who, last week, won the Tag titles with a hipster."

"Now don't get me wrong, Austin deserves the spot. It's just, well… like I said two weeks ago, I will beat Owen at Summerslam. And if I have to go through you to do that, so be it. And Owen I strongly suggest you watch what happens in the next two minutes."

Seth threw the microphone away and waited for his opponent.

Hart Attack hit and Jim Neidhart came out with Brian Pillman. The crowd cheered the two men as they walked to the ring.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall," Tony Chimel announced. "Accompanied by Brian Pillman, from Reno, Nevada. Weighing in at 281lbs. Jim "the Anvil" Neidhart!"

The match never happened. As soon as Jim stepped between the ropes, Seth smacked him in the head with his championship belt. Brian rushed in to help him but got a Superkick from Hardy.

As Jim tried to stand up, Seth kicked him back down. The crowd showed how much they hated Seth by booing him out of the building. Seth didn't pay them any attention. He just picked Jim up and hit a Twist of Fate. He noticed Brian pulling himself back up so Seth placed the title on the canvas, moved Brian close to it and hit a Side Effect on the belt.

Seth rolled out of the ring and searched underneath it. He grabbed two chairs and threw them into the ring.

He entered the ring and picked one of the chairs up. He placed it under Neidhart's head and went to pick the other one up. The crowds boos picked up as he raised the chair over his head. He gave the camera one last smirk and brought the chair down on Jim's head.

Seth repeated the act 13 times before he decided to throw the chair out of the ring. He waltzed over to Pillman who was now trying to get to his feet. Seth grabbed his legs and locked in a Cloverleaf. He heard Brian yell in pain and the tapping of his hand on the canvas.

The crowd began cheering as soon as Owen Hart ran down to the ring. Seth barely made it out of the ring before Owen got to him.

Owen picked up the title and held it over his head. The crowd cheered while Seth glared at him yelling "give that back!"

Owen eventually threw him the title and Seth backed away up the ramp. As Owen tended to his team mates, Seth watched him.

Hart may be standing tall tonight but Hardy was confident that he would be at Summerslam.

After the show

Normally Seth would have left the arena and gone back to the hotel. But he had a hunch that Natalie was here tonight.

His hunch was proven correct as he saw her walk up to him.

"My dad says you were a convincing heel," she said.

"Really?" Seth asked completely taken back by this. "Well, I was supposed to be one. We're in Canada. Everyone here kind of hates me."

"I don't."

"Because you've already met me," Seth said. "You have seen what I'm like when I'm not out there either kicking ass or having mine kicked."

Natalie gave him a small laugh. She leaned closer and kissed him on the cheek.

Seth's mind emptied and his heart began to beat a little faster. "What was that for?"

"Just cause," Natalie said. She smiled at him then went to join her father who was coming down the corridor.

Seth watched her as she walked. He was torn.

He really liked Natalie but he didn't want to have these feelings for her.
