Friday, November 29th, 2019 – Birmingham, Alabama
It was just 5 days removed from Survivor Series where Raw, SmackDown and NXT all waged war against each other to compete for total brand dominance. Both SmackDown and NXT tied in their war with each side taking 3 victories each in their battles. A lot of people were interested in the Pay-Per-View and said that it might have been possibly one of the best WWE Pay-Per-Views of 2019.
The WWE Intercontinental Champion, Ced walked into the Legacy Arena at The Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex with a smirk as he wore his gold and black shades with his "Ced's Gonna KIll Ya" shirt with his blue skinny jeans and "Zebra" Yeezys. He had the title on his shoulder as he had his brown leather bag on his back while he carried his matching duffle bag. He had his beats over his ears listening to his playlist as he got his mind right for tonight.
Tonight was his 110th day as the WWE Intercontinental Champion and for him to even make it that far as the Intercontinental Champion was something that made him proud and happy.
"Look at my boy, the champion." KC said as both him and Gary walked up to Ced, both dressed in their ring gear ready to compete tonight.
"Yeah, my boy a goat." Gary said.
"Nah, I ain't got there yet. Give me another 2 or 3 years and I'll be on that path."
"Man, you kinda, already put yourself on that path. You were Jaden Sennoa's first loss and that guy was a freaking animal."
"Yeah, he choked just about everybody out. I'm surprised he didn't choke you out."
"I know when he comes back that's gonna be the first thing, he wants to do. Knowing him, he probably would love to choke me out and get this back."
"Well, in that case, you gotta show him who's ""The King" around here."
"Yeah, KC's right, Show him who's boss. Show him why you're the champion."
"Yo, y'all right. We'll see though. I"m gonna go to the locker room but I'll hit yall up later."
(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)
Ced sat in the locker room with his iPhone in his hand scrolling through his Twitter until he saw a tweet shouting his club out making him smile as he retweeted the tweet. In the short amount of time that he had been in the WWE, he managed to increase his assets. He was making sure that just in case, he got injured and was never able to wrestle again, he still wanted a good source of income that could support him and his family. He owned 50% of a nightclub. He was running a fashion label with his babymama. There was a lot of stuff going on in his life and at the center of was WWE.
He was starting to gain some notoriety because of his WWE career. His Instagram had rose up from 2.5 million followers to 3.2 million. He even signed himself a new WWE contract for a few years with a contract making money up in the 7 figures. With his contract, it cemented his status as a young top star. His career so far had given him a lot and it had given him something to be extremely happy about. He was a 1-time NXT North American Champion and 1-time Intercontinental Champion, for a guy that had been in the WWE for a year, it was something great.
There was a knock on the door breaking his concentration. He looked up at the door to see Mercedes Kaestner-Varnado AKA Sasha Banks at the door.
"They're ready for you out there."
"Okay, Thanks Mercedes." He said as he contiinued to stare at the ground.
"Alright, I've been around long enough to know that you're never this quiet. What's wrong?"
"I don't know. I feel weird. I feel like somethings gonna happen tonight. I have this feeling in my gut that something's about to happen. I feel like tonight might be my last night as Champion."
"Why do you say that?"
"I don't know I just have a gut feeling."
"Well, if you do, look at it like this. You can go get your title back and be a 2-time Champion which looks better on your resume. And you can buy me ice cream."
"Okay, I see the 2-time thing but where does ice cream fit in this?"
"Because we haven't hung out in a while and I want ice cream." Both Ced and Mercedes started to chuckle.
"And tell baby CJ that Auntie Mercy says hi."
"What is with everyone claiming to be my baby's Uncle and Aunt here?"
"Ced, when you have a baby in WWE, that baby becomes part of the family." Ced shook his head while he stood up and grabbed his title and followed Mercedes out of the door.
(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)
"Icon" Hits
"Please, Welcome the WWE Intercontinental Champion." Greg Hamilton announced as Ced walked out ontot he stage while they lights went on in their usual array of different colors.
He raised the Championship up in the air as he spit out war in a mist as the WWE Universe cheered. He then walked down the ramp leading to the ringside area. He walked around to the steps and walked up the steps and entered the ring, making a beeline to the corner where he hopped up on the turnbuckle and raised his championship up in the air before hopped down and waked over to the ropes to grab a mic from the stage crew.
"Icon" Fades
"Birmingham, Welcome to the Ced Show, SmackDown." Ced said on the mic as the fans in the arena cheered for him making him smile.
"And we are just 5 days removed from the 33rd annual Survivor Series where I did what I said, I was going to do and I took Ricochet and Roderick Strong to battle and I walked out the victor just like I said I was. But I'm not the only guy from SmackDown that guaranteed a victory in the war with both Raw and NXT. Nah, we gotta thank Roman Reigns and Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler securing a victory and holding down the fort. Now, I recognize that The New Day, Bayley and Kalisto all tried their luck and weren't able to succeed and no one blames that for that, they tried which all anybody can."
"But now that Survivor Series is over, allow me to switch over and focus on the one man that I didn't forget about, Baron Corb-" Ced was saying but was cut off by the music of WWE COO, Triple H.
"King of Kings" Plays
Triple H walked out onto the stage in his suit with a microphone in his hands. He had a smirk on his face as he put the mic up to his mouth up to his music faded.
"King of Kings" Fades
"Ced allow me to be the first man to congratulate you on your victory at Survivor Series. I know it was no easy task, to beat one of the best that NXT has to offer but you did and granted if you two faced each other again, you're not defeating him again."
"Is that all you came out here to say?" Ced asked as he looked at Triple H with a frown.
"Nope, I came out here to give you a gift. An Intercontinental Championship title defense right now." Triple H said as a WWE Official came running down the ramp before sliding into the ring. Ced sighed as he chuckled.
"Against who? Roderick. Adam. You. I would love if you-" Ced was saying but A PAIR OF ARMS WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK. IT WAS JADEN SENNOA. JADEN SENNOA HAD RETURNED AND LOCKED ON THE KONA KLUTCH.
"Ring the bell." Triple H ordered.
Ding-Ding-Ding!
The WWE Universe booed as Jaden Sennoa had locked on the Kona Klutch as he then wrapped his legs around him locking on a body scissors as well making sure that there was no chance of Ced getting out of the hold. Ced waved his arms around frantically as everything faded to black. The referee grabbed Ced's arm and raised it up in the air as the arena got quiet AS HIS ARM HAD DROPPED AS THE REFEREE CALLED FOR THE BELL. IT WAS OVER. CED WAS JUST PUT TO SLEEP AND JADEN SENNOA HAD REGAINED THE TITLE.
Ding-Ding-Ding!
"Here is your winner and the NEW WWE Intercontinental Champion, Jaden Sennoa!" Greg Hamilton announced as the music of Jaden Sennoa had played on the PA system.
"Not Many (Remix)" by Scribe Plays
Jaden smiled as he rose up to his feet and grabbed the Championship title that he had regained. He chuckled as he raised it up in the air as the WWE Universe booed while Triple H chuckled and clapped for Jaden Sennoa.
