Friday, January 31st, 2020 – Tulsa, Oklahoma
The Former WWE Intercontinental Champion, Ced walked into the BOK Center with a smile as he carried his baby boy, Baby CJ with his girlfriend at his side. He wore a Stone Cold Steve Austin shirt with some skinny black jeans and his "Hyper Royal" 13s. He had two gold Cuban link chains. He had a brown leather backpack on his back with a matching duffle bag.
Kala was matching Ced as she carried her brown leather purse and Baby CJ's bag on her back.
"Baby CJ this is where you're gonna work in the future." Ced said to his son with a prideful smile on his face. It was something about having his son here tonight that made Ced feel better. And not only having his son but to also have Kala backstage at SmackDown made everything just better.
"It won't be here unless he wants to. You can do anything you want son." Kala said kissing their 3-month-old baby on the cheek.
"And he wil, he's gonna run the world. Just like his mommy and daddy." Ced smiled as Kala then gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Awwwwwww." Ced heard as Mercedes Kaestner-Varnado walked towards him in her ring gear with Pamela Martinez.
"He's a chunky monkey." Pamela said giggling as Ced shook his head.
"Yeah, he is. Baby CJ, this is Auntie Pamela and Auntie Mercedes. They're your WWE family." Ced said as he gently handed his baby to Mercedes watching as she took him into his arms and cuddled him tightly and gently. The smile that was on Ced's face couldn't be wiped away as he watched his son and love of his life interact with his co-workers.
"Thank You." He said to Kala giving her a quick peck on the lips. She smiled as she looked at him.

The man who attacked Jaden Sennoa at the Royal Rumble after his near 2-month disappearance walked out onto the stage. He wore a frown on his face as he looked around at the WWE Universe in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He walked down the ramp as the fans cheered him. He walked up the steps up onto the apron and entered the ring making his way to the corner to hop up on the turnbuckle and do his pose. He hopped up and was handed a mic by the ring crew as his music faded off into the background.

"This past Sunday at the Royal Rumble, you all witnessed me return once again to the WWE. Before that I was laid out in the center of the ring staring up at the ceiling after I lost the Intercontinental Championship by Jaden Sennoa. Now I'm not gonna make any excuses because let's be real, this is the WWE this type of shit happens every damn day and it just so happens that it happened to me and in a moment of weakness, Jaden Sennoa struck and he took back what he claimed to be rightfully his in the first place but Jaden that's where you were wrong. That title wasn't yours; it was there's." Ced said as he pointed to the WWE Universe getting them to cheer.
"That title has always belonged to the hardest worker in the room, the workhorse of the WWE and Jaden that's ain't you. Jaden the only reason that you remained the Intercontinental Champion is because I was too embarrassed to come back and take it but there was a certain someone who motivated me enough to come back and get what's mine. Jaden, you didn't have to wake up and see the look on your son's face as he stares up at you and he sees-" Ced was saying until Jaden Sennoa's music cut him off.

Jaden Sennoa came onto the stage with a smirk on his face with the Intercontinental Championship on his shoulder with a mic in his other hand.
"Not Many" Fades
Ced, Ced, Ced, Please not another one of these promos. You cut out here talking on and on about your son and while to some it may be cute but to others, it's pathetic." Jaden said as the fans booed him while he climbed up the steel steps and entered the ring.
"You use your son's name just to gain attention because you can't get it for yourself. Ever since you lost this, people just don't care about you anymore. And they have every right not to. You're nothing more than an afterthought. I should've ended your WWE Career before it could even begin. I-"
"Jaden, shut up." The WWE Universe cheered as Ced stood in front of Jaden, face-to-face.
"This isn't just about the title anymore. This is about you trying to take something that I love. You made this personal. And you just earned yourself an ass-kicking." Ced threw the mic down as Jaden dropped his mic and lowered his title while him and Ced were talking trash in each other's faces.
"Gentlemen, Please." They heard a feminine voice making them frown even more as they turned to look at the stage to see Stephanie McMahon walking out on the stage with a mic as the WWE Universe cheered.
"I have been watching you two closely for a while and I have to say that you two may be two of the best young up-and-coming superstars we have here in the WWE." Both Ced and Jaden nodded along accepted the compliment.
"But I have to wonder what if you two had to team up with each other." Stephanie said as Jaden started to shout "No!".
"So tonight, I'm going to be putting you two in a Tag Team Match against The New Day." The WWE Universe cheered as Ced leaned up against the ropes.
"And to make sure that you two work together, I am giving you two an incentive. Seeing as that you both love Championship gold, your match will be for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships." Stephanie said as Ced and Jaden both started to stare at each other frowning after hearing the shocking announcement.
"And if either one of you attack each other, then you both will be suspended indefinitely without pay and for you, Jaden, that means that Intercontinental Championship will be vacated. Now you two boys have fun." She smiled as her music came onto the PA System.

Stephanie walked backstage as Ced walked towards Jaden, standing behind him. Ced tapped him on the shoulder getting him to turn around before he dropped him a right hand to the jaw before quickly exiting the ring before Jaden could strike making the fans cheer. Jaden leaned on the ropes looking at Ced who smirked as he backed up the ramp.
(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)
Ced stood in his own private locker room for the night changing into his ring gear as his girlfriend played with their little baby boy on the floor. Ced now had a new goal to focus on the Tag Team Championship even if he hated his Tag Team partner. Still it was a chance to add some Championship gold to his WWE resume. In the history books, it was gonna read Ced, SmackDown Tag Team Champion and hopefully 2-time Intercontinental Champion in the future as well as more.
Ced was wrapping his wrist up with black wrist tape. He had black ring trunks with white design with a blue outline. He had his black knee pads on both knees with black boots. Once he finished wrapping his wrist up, he ran his hands over his low-cut fade making sure his hair was fine. Ever since he lost the title, Ced cut his hair.
"You okay?" Kala asked looking up at him as Baby CJ started to crawl towards Ced.
"Yeah, I'm fine babe. Why?" Ced bent down and picked up his son carrying him as he stood up.
"You just look like you got a lot on your mind."
"I do. I got this Tag Team title match tonight with Jaden and I'm focused on WrestleMania. I want my Intercontinental Title back."
"You'll get it back babe but right now enjoy the moment. You got me and your son here with you now. Just enjoy it, enjoy us."
"You're right babe. I got about 45 minutes before the match so I guess I could chill out with you guys." He kissed his baby boy on the cheek making him smile.

"Here are your winners and NEW SmackDown Tag Team Champions: Ced and Jaden Sennoa!" Greg Hamilton announced as the fans booed Jaden who started to smirk as the referee handed him his Intercontinental Championship and newly won SmackDown Tag Team Championship belt. The referee walked over to Ced who entered the ring giving him his Tag Team Championship title.
"That's how you do it!" Jaden shouted at Ced as he raised up both his Championship titles. Ced and Jaden stared each other down until Ced flipped Jaden off and exited the ring taking his title with him as he walked up the ramp.
A/N: Alright so I pulled a Stone Cold with this one having Ced win a Tag Team title with his rival and I wanted Jaden to seem dominant, because he truly is, so I had him beat The New Day the way he did. I hope this doesn't deteriorate you from reading this story, keep reading it's gonna get better.
