Chapter 49:

"When the Hell is William Regal going to take control of this roster again?" Haley exclaimed as she burst into Hunter's dressing room.

The Game didn't even flinch at her outburst. He had seen the events unfolding on the monitor and wasn't in a good mood himself. He was furious about his match last night and now felt bad for Haley and John after Coachman unfolded yet another one of his ridiculous plans.

Cena Sr. was not a wrestler in any way, shape or form. To send him into the ring with someone of Randy's caliber was just plain cruel and stupid on Coach's part. Senior would get into the ring too. Not just because he didn't want to see his son stripped of his title, but because if there was one thing you could say about the Cenas, they had an enormous about of pride and a backbone to boot.

"I know." Hunter agreed. "Even I miss that old blowhard."

Haley took a moment to chuckle at his comment. "And that's saying something."

"Hey, how come you weren't Candice's partner earlier? You two are as thick as thieves these days." He got up to get a bottle of water and tossed her one while he was up.

"Mickie wanted to let out some aggression tonight." Haley shrugged and unscrewed the cap off the bottle. "I'm taking on Jillian in a House show tomorrow anyway." She took a deep gulp of water.

"Good, you need to let out some of your own aggression." He nodded approvingly, sipping his own water.

"Are you trying to tell me I'm too tense?" She raised an eyebrow and sported such a Rock expression, he had to chuckle. It was hard to believe those two weren't blood related when she did that.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to tell you." He toasted her with the bottle. "You've been stressed out for the past few weeks. Go out there and hit something, it'll make you feel a hell of a lot better."

She smirked balefully at him. "I don't know how you deal with your issues in Hunter land, but violence isn't always the answer."

"Honey, if that's your viewpoint, you're in the wrong business." He teased, placing his water down and crossing the room towards her.

Haley looked up into blue eyes, normally ice cold as he surveyed his opponent, but right now, they were a brilliant shade of blue and looking at her with nothing but warmth. "You know as well as I do that I'm exactly in the right business."

He chuckled. "Then get your butt in gear Haley. Just because the Chump has all these massive problems going on right now doesn't mean your career takes a backseat."

"That goes two ways though and right now, Jonathon Coachman could care less about what a rookie Diva wants." Haley shrugged helplessly. "I definitely plan on winning at the house show and I'm probably going to team up with Candice on RAW next week."

Hunter smiled in satisfaction and hugged her gently. "I just don't want you to make the same mistake Stephanie did."

"What do you mean?" Haley lifted her head from his shoulder and gave him a look of surprise.

"Stephanie and I were Champions at the same time, remember?" He explained. "She had the potential to do really well in the Women's division. She needed practice obviously, but the skill was there. But, she got so caught up in my problems that her potential was wasted and now she's doing promotional work."

"Oh." Haley nodded in understanding.

"Right." He released her. "You've got a lot of talent already, Haley. I don't want to see it go to waste just because John's having a rough time. Get your butt back into the ring, got it?"

"Yes Sir!" She saluted him, before breaking out into a grin.

"You're lucky you're cute, or I'd whip your ass for mocking me." He warned.

"Yeah right." She rolled her eyes at the threat. "But, I'm still allowed to be concerned. Besides, I think I've done an excellent job of staying out of John's business."

"So far, you have." He agreed. "But you're not in any matches recently and you're spending most if not all your free time with lover boy than in the ring."

"All right, from now on, I'm back on track." She promised.

"Good." He nodded approvingly. "That's all I wanted to hear. Well, that and I wouldn't mind you telling me that I'm your hero again."

Haley made a choking noise. "Oh my God, I'm suffocating. Your ego is sucking up all the oxygen!"

Hunter reached for his towel, twirled it and then whipped her in the butt with it. "Yeah, yeah, get out of here." He ordered playfully. "I've got a match to get ready for and you need to be preparing yourself for your match tomorrow with Jillian."

"Okay, okay." She held her hands up in retreat and began to back out of the locker room. "Just admit that you're going to miss me once I'm gone."

"I have the ego?" He raised both eyebrows at her. "Out!"

"Gone." She waved, before skipping out the room.

Hunter shook his head in amusement at her antics. There was just something about that girl that had that big brother, protective instincts kicking in. He'd give Dwayne the credit; he'd done one hell of a job with her.

As for Hunter's own prodigies, one had turned into a psychotic lunatic. Although Randy was still a phenomenal wrestler, his motive and tactics were questionable at best. His other prodigy had turned out all right though. Hell, Batista was once again World Heavyweight Champion, a title he had won the first time from Hunter himself. As far as successful went, that was saying something. He just wished Randy had turned out somewhat similarly.

A half hour later, Haley left John's private locker room and started down the hall. She had no idea where her boyfriend had disappeared to, but she had grown sick of her own company.

"Haley!" The petite brunette whirled around at the sound of her name being called. She had been on her way to the Divas locker room to watch the ludicrous match with her best friends.

"Oh hey Cody." She greeted the young rookie with a smile.

"Hey." Cody Rhodes fell in step beside her. "Listen, I begged Coach to put me in the match tonight too, for John's father's sake anyway and he wouldn't budge."

"Cody, that's really sweet, but you had to have known that Coach wouldn't have let you. He thrives on this kind of dramatic shit. This time it's just going to have more serious repricussions." Haley frowned, once again becoming worried.

"I know, but now they have John handcuff to the ring." Cody told her.

"What?" Her eyes widened and she stopped to face him. "John's what?"

"He's been handcuffed to the bottom rope so he can't interfere. The referee can't figure out how to release him and Randy's about to head out to the ring." He elaborated.

"Oh my God." Haley rubbed a hand over her face.

"What should we do?" Cody asked, looking slightly helpless.

Haley could hear Randy's music playing from far away and knew the Legend Killer was on his way down to the ring. Mr. Cena would be following in a matter of minutes and he'd be entering the snake pit completely alone. If John was handcuffed to the ring, there was no way he could protect his father.

"We can't let him go out there alone!" Haley felt her breathing quicken and knew she'd be hyperventilating soon.

Then an idea struck her. She reached up into her hair, which she had pinned up and slid a bobby pin loose. She held it up for Cody to see. "Let's hope this works like in the movies. Come on!"

She grabbed his hand and they bolted in the opposite direction in which they had been going. Their destination was the Gorilla and then down to the ring. She had the pin closed so tightly in her fist; one would have thought it was her lifeline. Haley just hoped they got there in time.

"I'll try to provide as much of a distraction as possible." Cody assured her.

"I'm going to need it." She grit her teeth as they neared the Gorilla. The bell sounded and the match had begun. She prayed this wouldn't be as ugly as she feared.

A/N: All righty, so I posted the link to Haley's dress in my profile and updated the Haley and Randy banner. Not that it means he's the one, just that I like this one so much better than the other one.

One more chapter people, and then we reach the break up, which some of you have been anticipating and some have been dreading. But, is it really over?

And what does Randy have in store for Haley now?

Nic-002001: Haley's definitely going for the gold in this fic, and it'll come don't worry. But you have to remember, she's still a rookie and has to earn it. But, it's coming.

WWEAngel: Unfortunately, John and Haley are coming to a close, at least for now. But who's to say that it's really the end. And yes, Triple is definitely getting his brief moment of glory.

Jada951: As you can see, I still to most of the same storyline because it's too much to rewrite everyone's History, but I tweak it to include or adjust to Haley's character. Things are going to majorly tweaked once Cena's injured, but still following the timeline.

Fozz-Floozy: I know, I love Randy too, but sometimes he just needs to get his ass kicked. It's nothing really personal, just to teach him a lesson.

Cassymae: You'll find out soon enough ;)

Vampirenav: You have both posters? Yummy. I have a Batista and Cena poster on my wall at this point, and one of the Rock lol. I haven't found a Randy one that I really like yet, but I'm still looking. As for Randy and Haley, they won't be back on good terms for a long time lol.

Asher02: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

ExtremeXShinyXHeartagram: haha…I wanted to maintain a bond with Cena's family for their break up lol. I know, I know, everyone wants more of Jeff, but this is the big finish of the Randy/Haley/John angle and I can't fit him in yet lol. He's coming though, no worries

Alkira Sonoma: Mum's the word on that one lol. You'll just have to wait and see.

Ilovehbk: I like Jeff/Candice, lol having trouble wrapping my mind around the Beth/Jeff one though lol. It seems weird to me lol but I'll give it a shot. I like Beth too actually, even though she's scary and she did piss me off when she was giving Mickie a hard time, but I think she's a great wrestler.
