67. Chapter 67

Chapter 67 is here folks and looking forward to this chapter. It's the Money in the Bank pay-per-view and as explained before, I decided to have it out a week before the actual date. Still, I don't think anyone will mind, right? We'll get to see the PPV ahead of time and see who will walk out victorious.

Also, I want to give a big thanks to theXman99 for a new title I came up with. Okay, so around this time, WWE created the 24/7 title. A piece of garbage that I promise you, will not be in my story. Not one bit.

However, I will be creating a new title. A combination of three titles into one. It will be explained later in in the chapter, but I hope everyone will like it. I went over this with my friend and glad he didn't mind it. So, I hope everyone will like it too.

How are things going to go in this very long chapter? Will things go well for Ruby and her friends? Will they all walk out victorious? Or will things get in their way to keep them from winning tonight?

Check out the chapter to find out then and time to get started with the disclaimer. I don't own anything from WWE. I only own my OCs for the story. Also, a big thanks to my friend theXman99 for his help and support.

Now, let the chapter begin and enjoy everyone.

Pre-Show

1. EC3 vs. R-Truth vs. Rusev vs. Big E vs. Jinder Mahal vs. Chad Gable 6-pack challenge match for the inaugural WWE HIT Championship (Hardcore, Internet, & Television)

2. The Usos vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn Tag Team match

The show opens up in the Venue XL Center arena in Hartford, Connecticut. In front of a crowd of 15,000 fans as the crowd begins filing in to get ready for the show tonight. To get the crowd ready, WWE had set up a special match for their pre-show. The match is to crown the first ever WWE HIT Championship.

The title was created by Ronin Takashi and Mick Foley, when they were asked to create a new title for Raw, SmackDown, and NXT talent to fight over. Originally, Vince wanted to call the title the 24/7 Championship, but Ronin felt it was too stupid looking so they threw that idea out. Instead, he worked with Foley to bring back the Hardcore title, but he thought with how social media is a powerful tool he decided to try something else.

So, instead they made a title that where it is the combination of the Hardcore title, the Television title, and even borrow Zach Ryder's Internet title. And so, the HIT title was born. A title where the champion has to defend the title on television everywhere, they go to any brand. A title where anyone can challenge for the champion with hardcore rules.

A title where the fans can decide where the champion will defend the title, against who to defend again, and what type of match on PPV.

To crown the first ever champion, Mick Foley chose EC3, R-Truth, Rusev, Big E, Jinder Mahal, and Chad Gable to compete in a six-pack challenge match. The match was as chaotic as the Hardcore title used to be with all six men using every weapon they can find. All while fighting all around the ring, ringside, and through the crowd. Each one with their own referee as the crowd cheered loudly for the return of this type of match in WWE.

EC3 focused his attention on R-Truth, while Rusev went after Big E, and Jinder Mahal went after Chad Gable. All six men hitting their opponents with chairs, trash cans, throwing their opponents into the walls or steel railing, and using food to pour on the other to humiliate them. It got to the point where Chad Gable leaped off the balcony and landed on all five men as the crowd cheered them all on.

They finally got back to the ring where each man began hitting their finishers on the other and hope they can get the quick win. However, each time they hit their finishers someone is there to stop them from getting the pin. Finally, R-Truth looked to get the win as he hit the Lie Detector on Jinder Mahal. However, EC3 came in and hits him with a trash can lid before hitting the One Percenter to get the one…two…and three!

EC3 has done it and has become the first ever WWE HIT Championship. The crowd gave a mixed reaction for EC3, but he didn't care since he is now the champion and stood tall with his title. EC3 begins to leave the ring, while mocking the fans, while vowing to keep his title for a good long time. EC3 makes his way to the entrance stage and posed with a confident smile on his face.

The next match has the Usos teaming up to fight against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a Tag Team match. KO and Sami were asked why they got involved in helping Kofi two weeks ago, when it had nothing to do with them. They both agreed that while it is true that they shouldn't have gotten involved and were enjoying their little time off…they didn't like what Bryan did.

They may not like Kofi, but they respect him for all he has done for this company since he arrived. For years he busted his ass like them and finally earned his shot at becoming champion. He didn't win because of his friends or the fans. He did it through all the hard work, determination, and never giving up.

Maybe the fans and his friends' support did help him, but the rest was all on Kofi. That's why they helped him out. To make sure Bryan doesn't try anything and keep the Usos from getting involved. All while promising the Usos tonight, they will know what happens when they cross them.

The match had KO and Sami taking control early on, until the Usos began targeting KO's left injured leg from SmackDown a few days ago. KO despite being in pain, kept on fighting back. He refused to let the Usos beat him and let his teammate down. KO fought through the pain and managed to take both brothers down.

He tags in Sami, who begins running wild and get the crowd behind him. Sami even came close to getting the win, until the Usos double teamed him and took KO out. They hit the double Superkick and Jimmy hits the Superfly Splash getting one…two…but Sami kicked out! The Usos couldn't believe it and go for the splash together.

Until, KO pushed Jey off the top rope and landed on his groin on the ropes. Jimmy goes for the Superfly Splash, but Sami moved out of the way and missed. KO hits the Superkick sending Jimmy into the corner and Sami hits the Helluvah Kick! Sami then throws him into KO, who hits the Pop-up Powerbomb!

Sami goes for the cover getting one…two…and three! Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn won the match! The crowd cheered loudly for the best friends, as they won the match and overcame the odds stacked against them. Paige watched on from her office through the TV and was very impressed with the teamwork. So much so that…maybe its time to see how these two would do against say, the Tag Team Champions?

Results:

1. EC3 defeated R-Truth, Rusev, Big E, Jinder Mahal, & Chad Gable to win the inaugural WWE HIT Championship

2. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated the Usos

She saw her chance and begins climbing up the ladder as fast as possible, until Jasmine came into the ring to stop her. Jasmine grabs Mandy's right ankle and keeps her from going higher.

All while Bayley continues her celebration. The fans are happy with how this match went, but they know that tonight is just the beginning.

Backstage

Ruby is backstage getting ready for tonight's main event. She knew that the match is going to be very challenging. A ladder match one-on-one would be easier for her, but the fact she has to deal with seven other competitors, one of which is a mystery opponent…yeah, not good odds. Still, she's prepared. She has to pick her moments and not exhaust herself too much.

Maybe even lessen on her big moves from the top of the ladder and make sure everyone exhausts themselves. Provided this mystery competitor shows up. She knows Vince has kept this hidden from everyone. Not even the general managers know who it is.

Still, she isn't worried. She knows she can win this, and she will…she has to. As she got ready, she receives a text from Kairi. Letting her know she'll be watching her match. And she'll be rooting for her.

Ruby appreciated it and at least has support from her fiancé. It has given her more motivation to win now than ever before. She will win, she will get the briefcase, become champion again, and marry Kairi. She will make sure the year ends with her as champion, no matter what.

She replies back and thanks her love for everything before putting the phone down. She begins doing some stretches and gets ready for the hell she is going to walk into. All while the rest of the show continues. She saw the next match has Rey Mysterio challenging Sakura for the title.

She couldn't help but chuckle, because she knows Sakura will give it everything, she has to keep her title. She won't let anyone, not even Rey take the title from her. She'll win and she will continue her reign. So, she wishes Rey luck and hope he will be ready for her.

*Booyaka 619* began to play as the crowd cheered loudly as Rey Mysterio came out. Rey poses on the entrance stage and begins heading towards the ring. Looking forward to his chance to fight for the United States title. The only title in WWE that he has never won and if he wins it then he would have won every title in the company.

Granted he never won the World Tag Team titles, but to WWE, it didn't matter. He has held the tag titles before, so it was fine.

"The following contest is set for one-fall and is for the WWE United States Championship!" Greg Hamilton announced. "Introducing first, the challenger, from San Diego, California, weighing in at 175 pounds…REY MYSTERIO!"

Sakura hands her title over to the referee, before she begins removing her cloak. Once it was removed, she took her mask off, revealing a demonic face paint on.

Rey though wasn't intimidated and knew that Sakura is doing this to try to psych him out. Once the referee holds the title up high to show to the fans, he hands it to the ringside official before calling for the bell to start the match.

The two shook hands and give a small bow to one another, which has the fans cheering for them. Sakura and Rey soon begin moving around the ring before they finally locked up. Both trying to push the other, until Rey grabs Sakura's left arm and then gets her in a wrist lock. He tightens his grip on her wrist, causing Sakura to fall on one-knee as she tried to get freed.

Rey wrenches on it, moves under the arm, while keeping hold of it, and then pulls on it a bit causing Sakura to yell in pain. She manages to reverse the hold and now has Rey in a wrist lock. She then keeps hold of the arm before moving behind Rey and locks in a Headlock. She tightens her hold on Rey, as he tried to get freed of the hold.

Rey however leaps up and then comes down before doing a Headlock takeover causing Sakura to flip over him.

The referee unaware what happened begins doing the count, one…two…and three!

Rey Mysterio has defeated Sakura Muta for the United States title, while Joe looks on satisfied. Oh yes, he could have let Sakura win and then take the title from her. But he wanted to punish her for what she did. Taking his title from him and now loses it thanks to him.

Joe goes over to Greg Hamilton and forces him to make the announcement. "Here is your winner and the neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew United States Champion…REY MYSTERIO!"

Joe begins going into the crowd and disappears. All while the officials check on both Sakura and Rey. Sakura completely out of it, while Rey is holding his injured left leg. Sakura and Rey being cared for by the doctors, all while both realizing what happened. Yes, Rey won the title…but not this way.

He didn't want to win it this way. Sakura has lost her title and she never thought she'd lose it this way. She knew why Joe did what he did, but its no excuse to take his anger out on her. And screw her out of her title.

Oh, she'll make him pay. She'll make sure Joe pays for what he did to her. Once she is feeling better, she'll go to Paige and demand he gets reinstated. So, she can get revenge on Joe and make him suffer.

Backstage

Olivia and Luna are in the back, finishing getting things ready for their match. It wasn't going to be an easy match and they knew it. They knew that Garrett and Wes were no pushovers. Their match proved it and they have gotten better.

However, Bully Ray is the one they need to look out for the most. Luckily for them, the Miz will be focused on him. Taking out his anger on him and making him pay for all he did to him. And if Velvet gets involved…well, it won't end well for him.

For now, though? They are going to be focused on the match itself and take out Bully's buddies.

As they got ready, the Miz came into the room, already in gear. He clears his throat and begins speaking up to the two women. "Listen, I um…I want to thank you two for everything you've done. I know you two didn't need to get involved in my business and you could have walked away from it. But, I appreciate the fact you both have agreed to help me and…I want to say thank you."

Olivia turns to Luna, who nods in response to her, before Olivia begins speaking up. "You are a good man, Miz. You've busted your ass, just like everyone else in this company has. You've earned your spot and we'll be damned, if we let Bully try to take it from you because he didn't like hearing the truth. And the truth is, you are a better wrestler than him."

Luna nods in agreement as she begins speaking in English, so Miz can understand her better. "Tonight, you will show him why you are the man, and tonight we will kick el patear el trasero de esos pendejos. Together."

The Miz appreciates it and is glad the two women will fight alongside with him. He didn't think Ruby and her friends would actually make it far in this company, especially with who runs it. But he has seen them do so many incredible and crazy things. Things even he hasn't done or has been unable to do.

So, for Miz…they have his respect and he hopes to earn their tonight.

"All right, ladies…let's go to war," said Miz as he puts his sunglasses on, and the two women follow him.

The crowd stood behind both teams and didn't want to see the other break up. However, Sanity took control of the match and tried to remain in control.

But the Wyatt Family were stubborn and wouldn't stay down. They tagged each member in, got some hits in, and got the crowd behind them. Each team members got to hit their own finishers on the other. Getting close to a big win but couldn't successfully put away the other.

Until finally the finish came when Eric Young hit a low-blow to Luke Harper and then hit the Reverse Death Valley Driver. Getting the one…two…and three. Sanity had not only won the tag titles, but also ended the Wyatt Family and Luke Harper's career.

Three of which having been former world champions and all three trying to get the win to take the title off of Seth. Seth though showed he wasn't going to lose it so easily.

Bobby dominated much of the match early on, while Ziggler and AJ tried working together. Only to turn on one another. Seth kept breaking up the pin and submissions. All while trying to get some momentum in the match as well.

All four men even ended up hitting their signature and finishing moves. Getting close wins, but their opponents either kicked out, got a foot on the rope, or someone broke up the pin. The fans cheered for all four men and didn't care who won this match. Lashley ended up taking out Ziggler after hitting him with a massive Spear.

AJ hit the Phenomenal Forearm and then went for the Styles Clash. Until, Seth hit him with the Superkick and then took advantage as he hit the Curb Stomp on Lashley. He went for the cover getting one…two…and three. Seth Rollins retained the World Heavyweight Championship.

All while AJ looked on shocked with what happened. He came very close on winning the title, but Seth surprised him and ended up keeping the title instead. The two men shook hands, showing their respect for one another. But AJ vows this isn't over yet between him and Rollins.

Once the ring and ringside got cleaned up, it was now time for the six-person tag team match. The fans were looking forward to this match and to see if Miz's team will win the title. Or if Bully Ray and his team will get the win, most likely through shenanigans.

"Miz! Luna! Olivia! You three f***ed up big time!" Bully shouted as the crowd booed loudly at him. "You see, you thought this was going to be a normal tag team match? Oh no. I don't want to have a match where it would end so soon. I want to make you three suffer."

Bully knew if they had a normal tag team match then things would end too soon. "I want to make you three little bitches pay for getting in my business and the business of my group! So, tonight, you three want a war? Well you got one, because this match is now a Street Fight!" Bully then turns to the referee and pushes him into the corner. "You got it?! You are not to end this match until we win by pinfall or submission!"

The referee understands and will call it right down the middle. Bully backs away and turns to entrance way. "Miz! Luna! Olivia! Get your asses out here right now and let's do this!"

*Awesome* begins to play as the Miz came out with the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Luna and Olivia, the Lucha Knights came out to the fans cheering for them. However, they didn't come out posing like they would normally do, since right now they have to focus on the task at hand.

Backstage

Paige is in the back, checking on Karina to make sure she's okay. The landing she took looked a bit nasty, but she's hoping she's okay. So far, she's all right. But she'll need to rest up for this week.

This is good, especially since she didn't want her to be injured before they go home next week. WWE is going to have Raw and SmackDown in the UK for next week and she knows Karina would love to come back home to wrestle. So, they couldn't wait to go home to spend time together. Most of the locker room who are schedule for the tour were already to go, while those who won't go will be go home to rest up.

Paige is ready to see how things are going to go when they get back home. She soon saw Sakura walking towards her and sighed.

"Sakura, I know what your going to say. I know you want to get your hands-on Samoa Joe, but he's suspended, okay?" Paige had to keep Sakura down, knowing now is not the time for her to lose her temper. "I know you want to make him pay, but you need to let me handle this and…"

Sakura moves her right hand up and cuts off Paige. "Paige…you know I have respect for you as general manager and you know I care about you as much as Karina. But…I'm not asking for you to reinstate him. I'm telling you. You give me Samoa Joe…or I'll go look for him myself."

Paige sighed knowing that ever since she suspended Joe, he's been demanding to come back. The board has even been considering reinstating him, while Paige is worried letting him back would be bad since she saw how dangerous he is when he's like this. But she could see Sakura had the same look that Joe has. That ruthless anger that is ready to blow.

Maybe if they beat the hell out of each other enough then she'll be able to regain some control. "All right. This Tuesday on SmackDown Live…you've got Samoa Joe."

That's all Sakura wanted to hear and gives her friend a small bow before she takes off. Paige just hope she knows what's she doing. But she knew Sakura. She wouldn't be asking for this, unless she was serious.

Later

The show continued with Becky Lynch defending her Raw Women's Championship against Lacey Evans. This is Lacey's first title match and is looking to bring some prestige to the title. Even bring some class back into the women's division. However, Becky wasn't going to go down so easily.

However, when the match ended, Charlotte Flair came out so she can have her title match. She tried attacking Becky, but she gets taken out by Becky who wasn't going down without a fight.

Ruby really did it! She won the Money in the Bank briefcase and now has the opportunity to challenge for the WWE Champion anytime she wants. Ruby couldn't help but hold the briefcase close to her and felt so happy she won. She knew she deserved this after getting screwed out of her title back in 2017.

Now, she has a chance to make a wrong right again. She has a chance to regain what she shouldn't have lost and that's her WWE title. She holds the briefcase high as the fans cheer loudly for her. All while, the officials check on all the other participants.

Paul Heyman looked on shocked and upset that not only did their plan to win the briefcase backfire on them, but now his client has been taken out.

Ruby didn't care though. She won this match fair and square. But now the question remains, when will she cash in the briefcase? When will she challenge Kofi Kingston for the WWE title?

Will she cash it in the same way Rob Van Dam did and cash it in on a PPV where she has the advantage? Challenge the champion at a pay-per-view event and win it? Or…or will she do what Edge did? Wait for the right opportunity and then capitalized on a weakened champion to take their title?

It didn't matter though. She has all the time to think about this and decide when to cash it in. Right now, though? She's just going to celebrate her big win tonight. She now has a chance to take back what is rightfully hers.

What happens next will be her decision and she'll live with the consequences of it. Provided she doesn't do something stupid and pull a Kennedy. She'll take her time, but once she climbs down, she'll be heading off to see her fiancé. To spend some time with her and celebrate this big with her love together.
