Over the few months, Kendall acted as General Manager for Raw. Even though The Crew were family members, she refused to give them special favors and they didn't ask any of her. She was fair to everyone and for this reason, she was respected by the Raw superstars. Well, most of them anyway.

DX was still a continual pain in the ass, due mostly to Triple H. He refused to back down and so did Kendall. The straining tension between Triple H and Kendall had often lead to heated arguments and a few physical altercations. The altercations had slightly irritated Kendall's injured shoulder and Kendall was forced extend her time away from the ring in order to recover.

The following week on Raw, her arm back in a sling, Kendall relinquished her position of General Manager to her uncle, The Rock. Rock had tried to talk her out of it but she stood by her decision, telling him that altercations between her and Triple H would not stop until they got in the ring together. And she couldn't do that until she was fully healed. With no other choice, The Rock accepted her resignation as general manager. The following week, Hulk Hogan was named the new general manager of Raw.

Kendall trained harder than ever, wanting to come back bigger, better and badder than before. There were times where she thought she was so close she could taste it. Times where, at the end of the day, she wanted to hunt down Triple H and fight him then and there. And then there were times when she thought it would never happen, that she'd never get to the point where she could get back in the ring. She worked so hard, never complaining, and finally...nine months after Absolution, she got her wish.

It had taken more time to heal than everyone had expected because of additional injuries, but it had healed. And she did come back to Raw, bigger, badder and better...just like she promised. She hadn't told anyone her return date, not even her family. She wanted it to be a surprise. And although every single person in the locker room and in the audience were shocked at her sudden appearance, no one was more surprised than DX.

Clips from Kendall's return...

Clip 1

Brock laid Batista out with a third F-5 in a row. He knelt on the mat, then covered the animal for the cover. Batista miraculously kicks out, and Brock, stunned shot to his feet. While Brock argued with the ref, Batista slowly got to his feet. When Brock turned, Batista landed a foot to Brock's mid-section and the blonde giant went stumbling back into the referee. Brock regained his balance using the ropes as leverage, as the ref went down in pain. Batista and Brock exchange blows back and forth, but Brock is once again able to gain the upper hand and flattens Batista in a spine buster.

While Brock was busy landing kick after kick to Batista's ribs, Kendall ran through the crowd and lifted herself over the barricade. Brock's back was to her, and quickly she took the closest steel chair and slid into the ring. Without warning, Brock felt pain explode in his back from a chair shot. As he turned, Kendal struck again, connecting the chair to Brock's head. As Brock fell back, Kendall rolled Batista over so he was covering the DX giant, then slid herself out of the ring. The referee started the count, realizing Dave had a cover. After it was done, Kendall could be seen, slowly backing away through the crowd... a twisted smile on her face.

"Kendall hit Brock Lesner with a chair! Batista is the new Intercontinental Champion! Kendall Cena is back!"

Clip 2

Lita finished Mickie James off with a moonsault, then tiredly covered the girl. She got the three count and the referee lifted her arm in victory. Lita climbed on the ropes, celebrating her victory over Mickie James, but Lita's celebration was cut short. Kendall jumped over the retaining wall and slid into the ring behind the red head. As soon as Lita got down and started to turn, Kendall brought the red head down with a spear.

Kendall didn't stay long in the ring, and after a few seconds of looking at Lita, the young superstar slid out of the ring. Once again, Kendall slowly backed away amongst the fans, that same twisted little smile on her face.

Clip 3

Inside the ring, Jeff Hardy and Shawn Michaels were exchanging blows again. The match had been going on for nearly twenty minutes now, and both superstars were getting tired, but neither was giving up. Thier tag team partners, Matt Hardy and Ric Flair, weren't giving up either and were fighting on the outside of the ring. Kendall was hidden amongst the fans near the ramp area, waiting for the moment to attack.

HBK had just hit Jeff with a high kick to the chin and Ric Flair was busy at the opposite end of the ring, on the outside near the announcer's table, and was taken head first into the steal steps by Matt. The ref was bent halfway over between the top and middle ropes, trying to seperate the two on the outside. With the referee distracted and Shawn's back to her, Kendall slipped over the railing and slid into the ring. When Shawn's attention finally returned to Jeff, he turned around and was met by Kendall's boot.

"Kendall is back! She just gave Shawn Michael's his own 'sweet chin music'!" J.R. exclaimed.

"What is she doing? She just went under the ring!" King said.

As Shawn Michaels went flying back, Kendall slid back out of the ring and dove underneath it before the ref and Ric Flair saw. Jeff was slowly getting to his feet and he glanced around in confusion seeing Shawn Michaels on the mat. Jeff began to climb to the top rope for the swanton bomb. Ric Flair sent Matt shoulder first into the stairs and started his way around the ring towards Jeff.

Kendall peaked her head out from under the ring and glanced seeing Ric going after Jeff. Disappearing again, she tore across the space to the other side of the ring and just as Ric passed the announcers table, she stuck her leg out of the apron, making the nature boy trip and stumble forward. Kendall slid out from under the ring and grabbed one of the tag team title belts. When Ric regained his balance and turned around in confusion, Kendall slammed the belt against the vetran's head, knocking Flair off his feet.

During this time, Jeff had flown off, landing the swanton bomb and was covering Shawn Michaels. As the ref counted, Kendall snuck off intro the crowd once again, a twisted smile upon her face.

"Kendall Cena strikes again and because of it, Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy are the new WWE Tag Team Champions!"

Clip 4

Chyna swung Beth Phoenix into the turnbuckles, landing her against the ref. The ref went down and as Beth came stumbling out from the corner, Chyna lifted Beth Phoenix above her head. She tossed the younger female in the air and took a step forward, allowing Beth to fall front first into the mat. Kendall once again came from the crowd, slid into the ring and stood behind Chyna. When Chyna turned, Kendall landed a kick to Chyna's stomach, then grabbed the woman around her neck and pulled her down to the mat in a DDT.

Chyna rolled to her back in the mat, her eyes closed as the inside of her brain swished around. Kendall climbed to the top rope and did a backflip off it, landing on Chyna. Seeing the ref and Beth Pheonix start to stir, Kendall slid out of the ring and got back over the barricade. Beth crawled over to Chyna and got the cover. Once again, Kendall could be seen backing away into the sea of fans, that twisted smile on her face and her eyes never leaving the ring.

Clip 5

Triple H was talking with Brock, Chyna and Lita when the four of them were joined by Ric and Shawn. Triple H was the only one who hadn't suffered an attack at the hands of Kendall so far tonight. The six superstars began to walk down the hallway towards DX's dressing room.

"Hunter...you, not us, are at the top of her list. She could do a lot worse than just mess up your match tonight." Ric said.

As they came to DX's dressing room, Triple H sighed. "Look, I'll be extra careful okay? I'll keep a close eye out for her. I'm not worried."

When they let themselved into the dressing room, they were shocked by what they saw. It honestly looked like a brawl had taken place in their dressing room. Pictures that had been hung up were now crooked, some even broken on the floor. Lamps had been shattered and plants knocked over. The couch was knocked over with Stephanie McMahon laying on the floor behind it. When Triple H climbed over the couch and knelt beside his wife, he growled and told DX they were accompanying him down to the ring that night.

Clip 6

DX accompanied Triple H down to the ring for his match against The Undertaker. For once they didn't interfere in the match, but placed themselves around the ring, facing the audience. They figured since Kendall had come in through the crowd with all the others, she'd do the same with him and they weren't going to let that happen. It was nearing the end of the match and Kendall hadn't made an appearance yet. Triple H had split Undertaker's head open with the sledge hammer and was going for the cover. He would have gotten a three count too, if he hadn't been distracted by the arrival of some unwelcomed guests.

John, Trish, Randy, Maria, Dave and Jeff came out on stage and after a moment slowly started walking down the ramp. Triple H broke the count on his own, got to his feet and shouted for DX to move to the ramp. Triple H watched, his back turned to the audience, as all of DX lined up at the bottom of the ramp. During this time, Kendall had snuck through the crowd and slid into the ring behind Triple H. She had taken up his sledge hammer and was ready to use it. As he turned, she jamed it into his stomach and as he bent from impact she slammed it against his head and he went down.

"J.R.! Kendall just hit Triple H with his own sledgehammer!" King said.

Kendall slid out of the ring and dove underneath it just before DX noticed that thier leader was down in the ring. As DX slid into the ring and ran across it to Triple H, Kendall crawled underneath the ring in the opposite direction. Just as DX reached Triple H, Kendall slid out from under the ring, dressed in a new shirt and ran to the ramp. She met her team halfway up the ramp, and the group turned and looked back at the superstars in the ring. The rest of The Crew slid into place behind Kendall

Kendall closed her eyes, letting the sound of the chanting fans wash over her and then she snapped her eyes open. Together, all seven Crew members lifted thier fists and/or titles into the air, signifying that once again...The Crew was whole. Tonight had been about sending a message to DX. It was written on her shirt and it was only three powerful and promising words.

Payback's a Bitch.
