Tonight, Ced was a night that the WWE Universe was excited to see. It was Super ShowDown live in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. And it was Ced's first time ever in Saudi Arabia and luckily, he had a match in Saudi and not just showing up just to show up.
Half of the SmackDown Tag Team Champions walked into the Mohammed Abdu Arena on the Boulevard in his skinny blue jeans with "Wheat" Timberland boots with black leather vest with a black tank top underneath with his gold chain and black LV belt. He had the title on his shoulder while carrying his bags.
He hated being partners with Jaden Sennoa but there was one thing he loved and it was Championship gold. He loved being a Champion. It was all he had ever dreamed as a little kid dreaming of being in the WWE and soon. Very soon, he was planning to get his Intercontinental Championship back for a second time.
"It didn't take you long to re-up on that Championship drip." Cedric heard making him turn his head to see KC walking towards him in his ring gear.
"What this old thing?" Cedric joked referring to his Championship title.
"Pretty soon, me and Gary gone have our own Championship drip."
"I know I'm rooting for you boys tonight. I don't think me and Jaden are gonna be Champions after tonight though. I got a feeling since Mania's coming up there gonna be pushing me and him to feud at 'Mania. And if I can capitalize, I can become Champion for a second time and get that WrestleMania moment."
"I think you can do it. You just gotta withstand his test mentally. Physically you can hang with him but mentally, it's a different ball game. If you can handle him mentally you definitely got the match in the bag."
"I just hope I can put on a show good enough for 65,000 fans. We're gonna be live in Tampa. I got my family showing up, my girl showing up, my kid, my friends and everybody else. This is the biggest match in my career. I have to win. Not just for me but for my family and future generations."
"Damn dog, if you carry that same intensity you have now in your match with him. You got it."
"Oh, trust me I got something for him. But I'm gonna catch up with you later. I might need someone to talk to on the plane so I hope you and Gary are gonna have enough energy."
"After we win these titles, we gone have all the energy in the world." Ced chuckled as he shook his head and walked off to the locker room.
(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)
Ced walked around backstage with a frown as he wore his black knee pads, boots and tape with his black trunks with orange designs. He had his Championship around his waist as he could hear the fans cheer while he walked through the halls with the camera in front of him. He stopped as he looked up as the camera shot zoomed out showing his Tag Team partner. He heard the fans boos as Jaden stood there with a smirk holding both of Championships.
"Partner." Jaden greeted.
"Jaden, let's make one thing perfectly clear. We're not friends. So, don't try to patronize me. And tonight, let's set aside our differences for these. And after tonight, I can focus on getting back my Championship." Ced said before he walked out of the camera shot leaving Jaden Sennoa standing there as he looked on watching as Ced walked away.
"If you make it out tonight." Jaden said with an evil smile. It was clear that "The Left Hand of Pain" had a different idea.
(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)
"Icon" Hits
"The following contest is a Tag Team match and it is scheduled for one fall and it is for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. Introducing first from Charlotte, North Carolina. Weighing at 250 Pounds. He is one-half of the SmackDown Tag Team Champions: Ced!" Mike Rome announced.
The fans in Saudi Arabia all stood up on their feet cheering as "Young Simba" walked out onto the stage with a smirk on his face. He spit out his water in a mist before he started walking down the ramp until he reached ringside. He looked around at the fans before he walked around to the steps and ran up the steps entering the ring making a beeline to the corner. He hopped up on the turnbuckle and did his signature pose as the WWE Universe cheered while he saw the bright flashes of the fan's cameras. His smirk faded once his music was interrupted for his partner's music.
"Not Many" Hits
"And his Tag Team Partner, from San Francisco, California. Weighing in at 239 Pounds. He is the WWE Intercontinental Champion and one-half of the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Jaden Sennoa!"
Jaden Sennoa walked out as the WWE Universe booed him while he had the Intercontinental Championship around his waist and Tag title on his shoulder. Jaden walked down the ramp with an arrogant smile on his face as he walked around to the steps. He walked up the steps and entered the ring and walked towards the ropes, unhooking the championship around his waist, to raise them up gloating while he talked trash to the fans.
"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, WWE Universe, Don't You Dare Be Sour Clap Your Next Tag Champs and FEEEEEL THE POWER"
"New Day, New Way" Hits
And their opponents, at a combined weight of 497 Pounds, The Team of Kofi Kingston and Big E, The New Day!" Mike Rome announced.
The WWE Universe cheered as the former SmackDown Tag Team Champions walked out onto the stage with a plate full of Pancakes. Big E wiggled his hops around as Kofi threw out pancakes to the crowd as both men had smiles on their faces. Kofi and E skipped their way down the ramp and entered the ring, dancing around getting the crowd up as Ced and Jaden looked on.
"New Day, New Way" Stops
Ced walked forward raising his title up in the air turning his back on Jaden Sennoa, which proved to be his fatal mistake. Jaden stood there with an evil smile BEFORE HE WRAPPED HIS ARMS AROUND THE NECK OF CED, LOCKING ON HIS PATTNED KONA KLUTCH.
The WWE Universe booed as Jaden turned his back on the man who was supposed to be his partner tonight. Ced waved his arms around frantically as everything faded to black. Jaden released the hold as Ced's lifeless body dropped to the mat. Jaden then exited the ring in a chorus of boos as he raised his Intercontinental Championship while walking up the ramp as he heard the bell ring behind him.
Ding-Ding-Ding!
Kofi and Big E didn't want to win the Tag Team titles like this but they wanted to win and they had the chance to do so now. Kofi reluctantly hooked the leg.

"Here are your winners and the NEW SmackDown Tag Team Champions: The New Day!" Mike Rome announced as the referee handed Kofi and Big E the tag titles as Ced stared up the ceiling while Kofi and Big raised up their titles.

A/N: I'm just gonna be honest with you guys, Ced and Jaden were never really meant to have a long reign. This is exactly how I planned it to go. It was going to make their Intercontinental Championship match even more personal at WrestleMania. And also, this is an AU so a lot of things are different in this story. A LOT
