"Icon" Hits

The WWE Universe in the SAP Center cheered loudly as they heard the music of ½ SmackDown Tag Team Champions. Ced walked out onto the stage with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship on his shoulder. He was wearing his Jordan "Chicago" 13s with black skinny jeans with a red and black nWo Wolfpac shirt. He had a gold Cuban link around his neck. Today marked the first time, Ced would walk into a SmackDown arena holding its Tag Team titles.

Ced smiled as he nodded along to his music before he started to made his way down the ramp. Once he reached the ringside area, he walked up the steps entering the ring before making his way to the corner and doing his pose with the Championship title in hand. Ced hopped down and walked over to the ropes grabbing a microphone.

"Ladies and Gentemen, do not adjust your television sets, do not change the channel because the sight that is standing in front of you is live and in color. Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, Young Simba, The Future of Professional Wrestling, The Young King stands before you as one half of the SmackDown Tag Team Champions." Ced sad on the mic as the fans cheered.

"You know what they say, anything could happen here in the WWE, especially in "The Land of Opportunity", SmackDown."

"And when they say anything could happen, they were right. Anything including me and Jaden Sennoa teaming up to win these Tag Team titles." The WWE Universe booed at the mention of the name of Jaden Sennoa.

"What's wrong? I thought Jaden Sennoa was y'all favorite Samoan." The WWE Universe started to chant "No!" to respond to Ced.

"I feel y'all. And even though, Jaden is supposed to be my tag team partner, it doesn't mean that I like him. And I know for a fact that the bastard hates me. He hates me because I'm the guy responsible for his first 3 loses in the WWE. I'm the guy responsible for taking his Intercontinental Championship in the first place. I'm one of the few guys on this roster that can go toe-to-toe with Jaden Sennoa. I'm the one guy that Jaden has to worry about when it comes to that Intercontinental Championship that he holds. He hates me because he's threatened by me. Whenever Jaden is around me, he knows just as well as I do, that he's not the most dominant guy in the ring whenever we lock it up. It's me. It always has been and it always will be. That's why he was so threatened during our match last week. The reason he made it his duty to go in and take care of The New Day, the way he did. He had a prove something, he had to send a message to me and he did."

"Jaden there is no doubt about it that you are one of the most dominant guys in the history of the WWE and you strike fear into the hearts of your opponents but there is one man who doesn't fear you. And he is the 6'3, 250-pound Animal who is coming for your title. Or should I say my title?"

"I-" Ced was saying but was cut off by the music of The New Day.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, San, Jose, Don't You Dare Be Sour Clap Your Future 7-time Champs and FEEEEEL THE POWER"

"New Day, New Way" Hits

The WWE Universe cheered as the former SmackDown Tag Team Champions walked out onto the stage with a plate full of Pancakes. Big E had a mic in his hands as he wiggled his hips around while Kofi threw pancakes out to the crowd.

"New Day, New Way" Stops

"We couldn't help but notice that you're out here talking about titles and Championship gold and we just had to come out here. You see,Ced, you stand at one-half of the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, you and Jaden hold something so precious to The New Day. So precious to SmackDown. "

"And since they are so precious to us, we want them back."

"And I want the Intercontinental Championship back from my partner and I will get it in a rematch. Just like you two will get yours. So, I'm gonna ask you guys the question: What're you doing on February 27th at Super ShowDown?" Ced said on the mic as the fans cheered. Big E smirked as he handed the mic over to Kofi who put the mic up to his lips and answered.

"You're on." Kofi answered as the WWE Universe cheered. And it was announced Ced and Jaden Sennoa would defend their SmackDown Tag Team Championships at Super ShowDown. Ced was lucky that Jaden wasn't hear tonight otherwise, he would have a lot of complaining to listen to.

Ced nodded along as he raised his title up in the air as he locked eyes with Big E and Kofi.

Friday, February 14th, 2020 – Vancouver, British Columbia

The former NXT North American and former WWE Intercontinental Champion sat in the locker room in his ring gear as he was texting his girlfriend repeatedly. She was worrying about Valentine's Day. He got her something today, he got her a diamond ring with her grandmother's birthday engraved in the inside of the ring. He had gotten her multiples roses, multiple chocolate hearts. Everything he could to make up for him not being there for the actual night. But all she wanted was him but tonight he had a match. A match against Curtis Axel. He couldn't abandon his plans and go home even if he wanted to badly.

Ced's thoughts were cut off as Joe Anoa'i walked into the locker room.

"Hey Joe."

"Hey Ced. What are you doing in here all alone? Come on, we chilling in Catering."

"Man, I'm just trying to text my girl before she goes crazy."

"Yeah, I get that. That's what we get for having a woman outside of the business. My wife does the same. She texts me when I can't be home. She texts and calls after every match. You got a kid, don't you?"

"Yeah, he's a few months old."

"Oh man, you better enjoy these times while they're little cause once they grow up everything gets harder."

"Yeah, I hope he's not like me. And this is only baby number one."

"Damn, you make it sound like you want a lot."

"I do. I want 3 or 4. I want my own little Hart Foundation." Joe and Ced chuckled after what Ced sad. Both Ced and Joe stayed in the locker room chatting it up as both men started to get to know each other and hopefully become friends.

SmackDown was back from commercial break and both Ced and Curtis Axel stood in the ring as the referee called for the bell.

The referee counted getting both men to break the lock-up and back up with both men talking trash. Axel ran towards Ced again with Ced taking him down with a side headlock takedown.

1, Kickout at 1. Both men got back up to their feet and Ced had jumped up and hit Axel in the jaw with a dropkick making him roll on to the outside of the ring. The fans in the arena cheered as Ced stood in the ring and told Axel to bring it on. Axel climbed up onto the ring apron and Ced walked towards him and snapped his neck on the ropes making him back up and turn his back to him. Axel slid under the bottom rope and ran into the ring grabbed Ced's head and dragging him into the corner to smash his head into a turnbuckle. Ced slouched in the corner as Axel took his time piling in punch after punch till the referee pulled him off. Axel walked back to the corner and Ced grabbed Axel by the neck and threw him into the corner instead and rocked him with him an uppercut.

Ced checked his mouth for bleeding before he turned to look at Axel and ran towards him clotheslining him in the corner. As Axel fell down to the knees, Ced hopped up on the middle turnbuckle and waited for Axe to get up to his feet. Axel up to his feet turned around right into a blockbuster from Ced.

The rookie ran towards Axel looking to attack him in the corner but the son of Mr. Perfect had other ideas and moved out of the way making Ced stop in the corner while Curtis Axel had got up to his feet and Ced walked towards him swinging his right hand looking for a right hook but Axel ducked it and caught Ced with a neckbreaker.

"Here is your winner: Ced!" Greg Hamilton announced as Ced rose up to his feet and looked around at the WWE Universe as the referee raised Ced's arm in victory. Ced raised up both of his arms with a frown. Ced turned his head to the titantron and shook his head as he saw Jaden Sennoa standing in the back with both of his titles on his shoulders.

"Icon" Stops

Ced, I just want to congratulate you on your victory over Curtis Axel and I saw the show last week while I was taking my much need vacation. You know carrying your ass to a Tag Team title is a lot of work and if I'm going to work hard, I'm gonna need to play hard. And while I was away, I watched as you made a match to defend our Tag Team Titles at Super ShowDown. I just want you to know buddy that I got your back." Jaden said with a wink with a chuckle at the end as Ced stared up at his Tag partner.
