Here it is sorry for the long wait working on my other fics but I got this done. I am liking the card for this year's Wrestlemania but sadly no Money in the Bank as that has it's own PPV but on the plus side Undertaker vs. Triple H!

Anyway enough of that enjoy!

Chapter 37: Irish Curse

MONDAY NIGHT

Storm was in the ring and he looked absolutely proud of himself as he had draped over his shoulder the WWE title which he "won" last night at the Rumble from me as he had a mic.

"Last night I proved that I deserve this title." Storm said holding the belt up as the crowd booed.

"I proved that Xander Cage cannot defeat me without his precious finishers, his catchphrases, his banter, his guarantee to you people is what holds him back and yet even after making some new hold I still outsmarted him and will go on to WrestleMania and-"

You think you know me…

Metallingus hit as that was the entrance of the Royal Rumble winner, The Rated R Superstar, Edge he made his way down the ramp and entered the ring and was holding a mic as it was a possible WrestleMania challenge could be coming tonight.

"We finally meet…Michael Storm, The Black Dragon, the WWE Champion, now I know that you're wondering what I'm doing out here and interrupting your promo so I'll cut right to it…I'm out here to make an announcement." Edge said as the crowd popped knowing it was the announcement they wanted to hear.

"I'm here to make my WrestleMania challenge and I've decided to-"

"HOLD ON! You think just because you won the Royal Rumble you're gonna reign on my parade? Tonight is about me and my victory last night!" Storm interrupted still bragging about last night.

"Now calling your "victory" as in you had a crooked ref and had the boss's pull to screw Cage out of that title and yet you call yourself a champion…okay I admit I'm no saint, I've done similar things in the past like doing "things" for the boss to just get ahead…hell I even married the boss." Edge said making a reference to his time with the Consultant of Smackdown!.

"However since you do remind me a little of myself I wanna give you this." Edge said as he dropped the mic and…

A SPEAR! EDGE JUST SPEARED THE WWE CHAMPION!

Edge looked down at him and then held and looked at the WWE title as he left it next to the fallen champ as it maybe a Wrestle Mania preview and he just left the ring with a statement made.

Storm after getting a Spear from The Rated R Superstar and now a possible number one contender for Wrestle Mania, he grabbed his belt and slowly left the ring clutching his ribs and made his way up the ramp…

Bleed it out hit and I was right in front of Storm as the look on his face seeing me and mine, he knew what I wanted and he just ran for it but I quickly caught up with him and clubbed him on the back as he fell to the ringside floor.

I grabbed him and threw him into the barrier back first with a loud thud, I took him on my shoulders and I drove him head first into the steel post.

Not letting him get a moment to recover I brought him back up and I took him over to the steel steps as I just bounced his head off it, then again and again, I took him to the announce table and bounced his head off the desk in front of King and Cole as I told them to get out of there, I began clearing the desk of everything.

I threw him onto the table and I stood on there as I brought him up and I JUST XANDER ZONED HIM RIGHT THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!

"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" the chant for the second time in two nights I heard it and the destruction of the announcers table.

Getting out of the wreckage I took his lifeless body out of there and I threw him back into the ring, I met him in there as he got to his feet ever so slowly, I NAILED HIM WITH RAGE IN THE CAGE!

I turned him over and I LOCKED IN THE DEADEND!

Storm was screaming in agony and tapping out like crazy as the crowd was going berserk that I was giving him what he deserved after his stunt last night and was now paying for it.

By the time I let go he seemingly passed out from the pain and I went to grab the WWE title from the outside and brought it back into the ring with me and held it up as then I draped it over his body and I left feeling satisfied with what I had just done to the man who stole my title last night.

Storm was conscious but was unable to stand from the one assault from Edge then my brutal assault it was like his night could not get any worse…

Written in my face hit and it was the music of The Celtic Warrior Sheamus who had a hell of a Rumble outlasting almost everyone but he ran down the ring with a ref and a mic.

"I'm using my title match contract! I WANT A WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH RIGHT NOW!" Sheamus demanded as the ref had no choice as he asked for the bell and raised the WWE title up as it was a championship match.

Storm got up to one knee as he had no idea what was going on and he was finally up and turned around A BROGUE KICK TO THE SKULL OF THE WWE CHAMPION!

He had the champion down and out but the brutal ways of The Celtic Warrior told him he wasn't done as he brought up the champ's lifeless body and had him set up in a power bomb position, took him up by the arms and HE NAILS THE CHAMP WITH THE HIGH CROSS!

Sending the champion flying across the ring and landing on the back of his neck and head as he was knocked out.

Sheamus dragged his lifeless body to the centre of the ring and covered him.

1-2-3 SHEAMUS HAS BECOME THE WWE CHAMPION!

"Here is your winner and NEW WWE CHAMPION…THE CELTIC WARRIOR…SHEAMUS!" Justin Roberts announced as the arena was in shock as it went crazy with the crowning of a new WWE Champion as Sheamus was handed his title he celebrated his win with his foot on the fallen ex-champion.

I was also in shock I just beat the hell out of Storm and all of a sudden we have a new champion from out of nowhere.

But where does that leave me?

LATER ON

I was called to the GM's office and I entered there and saw my GM and the new WWE Champion next to him as I stood in front of him.

"So what's up GM?" I asked.

"After seeing that guy get beaten down by Edge, you and the champ here, Michael Storm has suffered an injury and will be out for some time, however next week there will be a WWE Championship match as it will be the new champion Sheamus versus Xander Cage." JBL stated making a huge main event for next week.

"You know what Bradshaw that's fine fella, I'm a fightin champion and I'll prove it when I beat him next week and finish the job Storm couldn't do." Sheamus said.

"Looking forward to it and getting back which was stolen from me last night and if you're going to finish me off you human jar of mayonnaise…then just try I guarantee this title reign of yours will be your only one." I stated to him as the match was set and both of us had something to prove.

MONDAY NIGHT

I was getting myself ready for my title rematch as I would face the new WWE Champion Sheamus.

The door opened and in came someone I did not expect to see.

"Here he is the former WWE Champion, Xander Cage." coming into view it was Vince, one of the men who screwed me at the Royal Rumble.

"Are ya all fired up for your rematch tonight? No distractions right? Nobody can stop you now you're nemesis and the greatest WWE Champion of all time Michael Storm is no longer a factor…for now but I would like to introduce your referee for this match." Vince said as in came the ref in question.

To my surprise it was the ref who helped screw me over at the Rumble and I wanted to punch his lights out.

"Now before you even think of laying your hands on this man, if you do so in the ring not only will you lose your WWE Championship…guarantee it, so I want you to shake the hand of referee Michael Tarver." Vince introduced him as he extended his hand to me and I didn't even bother.

"Fair enough but Mr. Tarver here is your referee and you will respect his authority tonight." Vince said.

"Okay so he's the ref, but know this…either of you screw me tonight I swear the beating I gave Storm will be a paper cut compared to what I do to you both." I stated.

They both did not look afraid as they walked off and I knew they were up to something but I had to keep my head in the match tonight and win back my WWE title.

LATER ON

Bleed it out hit as I made my way out to a huge ovation as I was all fired up and ready for my second chance at the WWE title. I was all focused on the match as it would be against a man I've never been one on one in the ring with, I entered the ring and saw the ref Tarver himself as I shot a glare at him and he did not pay any attention as I awaited my opponents arrival.

Written in my face hit and the new and only Irish born WWE Champion in history made his entrance as the world was still in shock of him winning the championship and only being in the WWE for a few months. He made his way down the ramp as confident as he felt and he was not intimidated by me as he entered the ring and held up his newly won championship to everyone.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the WWE Championship!" Justin Roberts announced.

"Introducing first the challenger from New York City, weighing in at 246 pounds…Xander Cage!" he introduced me as the crowd went wild for me.

"Introducing next from Dublin Ireland, weighing in at 268 pounds he is the WWE Champion…Sheamus!" he introduced the champion as he got a bunch of boos which didn't bother him as he beated his chest and did the Celtic Cross pose with the title as he handed it over to the ref, he held the belt up signifying it was for the title.

The bell rang and we were underway, we locked up in the centre of the ring but the Irishman's strength was greater as he forced me into the corner as the ref counted he broke the hold by four.

But as the ref turned me to say something I turned my back for a second and I was hit in the back hard by a huge clubbing blow from the champion, as he stomped me on the back keeping me down and dragged me to the centre of the ring and started bringing the huge knees to my back, he then brought me up and slammed me to the mat with a clothesline, 1-2-NO I KICKED OUT!

I was brought back up to my feet and the Celtic Warrior took me up and he nailed me with a snap suplex, 1-2-NO I GOT THE SHOUDLER UP! But of course he wasn't giving me a chance to recover as he then brought me back up onto his shoulders and power slammed me into the ground, 1-2-NO I GOT MY SHOULDER UP AGAIN!

I was being dominated by the Irishman as he had me setup for that Irish Curse backbreaker but I countered it as I nailed elbows to the side of his head and I GOT IN AN INVERTED DDT! I finally got some time to recover as I used the ropes to get back up and quickly capitalised on the downed champion as I came off the ropes with a knee drop to the head, 1-2-NO HE KICKED OUT!

I brought him to his feet and nailed a couple of kicks to the sides of the champion and just floored him with a heel kick to the face, I then waited for him to get up and he quickly rolled to the outside as he dodged me but I then saw he wasn't looking and I went off the ropes ran forward and I DOVE BACK FIRST RIGHT INTO THE CHAMPION TAKING US BOTH OUT!

I managed to get myself up to my feet and he was also getting back up as I went for him he raked me in the eye and just threw me back first into the steel steps as they toppled on impact, he grabbed me again and threw me back into the ring and followed in he was waiting for me to get up as I did he was going for a clothesline but I ducked it and countered into the suplex combo as I managed to get all three in, 1-2-THE REF STOPPED THE COUNT AS HE HAD SOEMTHING IN HIS EYE?

I was now seeing why he was in the match as I shot him a glare as he was holding his hands up in innocence as I just turned back to the task at hand and I went to suplex Sheamus again but he blocked it and HE COUNTERED WITH THE IRISH CURSE! It was a desperation move but it took some out of me and him as well as he crawled to the cover, 1-2-THR-NO I GOT MY SHOULDER UP!

The Celtic Warrior knew he would need to put me down and would have to pull out his finishers for it.

He went to the corner and waited for me to get up as he was setting me up for the Brogue Kick as I slowly got up and was on my feet I slowly turned around and…THE BROGE KICK CON-NO I GOT OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME AND…I COUNTERED WITH THE BACKFLIP KICK TO THE HEAD OF THE CHAMPION!

He fell to the mat as I got him down I brought him up and lifted him but I struggled to get him up in the air but I NAIL THE XANDER ZONE! 1-2-TH-THE REF STOPPED THE COUNT AS HIS ARM WAS HURTING?

I was starting to get pissed with him as I went up to him again as he once again protesting his innocence as I warned him not to screw me again as I went back to finish the champion he threw me into the turnbuckle head first as my head went off it that gave him time to recover I was leaning against the turnbuckle as Sheamus just crushed me full force with his own body weight and brought me out and nailed an exploder suplex, 1-2-THR-NO I KICKED OUT!

The champ was now itching to finish this as I he again went to the corner and waited for me to get up and I got up as I turned around I could see him coming at me again and for the second time, THE BROGUE KI-NO I DUCKED AT THE LAST MINUTE! BUT HE HIT THE REF BY ACCIDENT!

With the ref down the match was now turned into a new direction as I turned him around and I HIT RAGE IN THE CAGE! I got the cover!

There was no ref as I had the match completely won but from the back another ref came down and made the count, 1-2-THR- NO HE GOT THE SHOULDER UP BEFORE THREE!

I went to lock Sheamus into the Caged Pain, I grabbed both legs and turned him over and I locked it in and was in the centre of the ring, the new ref was in the right position as I was just synching it all in trying to get the submission win and he was close to tapping out the WWE title was coming back to me…

I then heard the sound of the ring bell ringing as I let Sheamus go and saw Tarver talking to Justin Roberts to announce something.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has disqualified Sheamus for assaulting an official therefore your winner Xander Cage! However still WWE Champion…Sheamus!" Justin Roberts announced.

I was completely enraged, I got screwed again by the same referee who screwed me at the Rumble and I lost possibly my only chance to regain the WWE Championship as now my sights were on the ref who screwed me as I went to the outside and grabbed him before he could even escape as I got a hold of him by his shirt and turned him around and clocked him in the face.

Grabbing him by the scruff of his shirt I threw him back into the ring and brought him up I HIT THE XANDER ZONE!

I turned him over and I LOCKED IN THE CAGED PAIN! Tarver was tapping out like crazy screaming in agony as then referees came out trying to get me off him as I just let him go and I felt a small measure of revenge against Vince and Storm but now what about my mission to win back what's rightfully mine?

I know it was a bit short but the next will be good. What does this mean for our hero? Will he regain his title? What are the plans of the diabolical chairman?
