Friday, May 15th, 2020 – Greenville, South Carolina
"Icon" Hits
The cheers in the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina were deafening as the music of their current WWE Intercontinental Champion played on the PA system.
The current champion walked out onto the stage dressed in a black leather vest with a gold chain around his neck and black skinny jeans with black suede boots. He had the title on his shoulder as he looked around the arena at the WWE Universe. He raised the title up in the air with a smile before he lowered the title and made his way down the ramp. He walked up the steps and entered the ring walking over to the ropes grabbing a mic from the ring crew.
"Icon" Stops
"How you doing Greenville?" Ced said on the mic as the fans in the arena cheered loudly once again making Ced smile.
"I don't know if you guys saw Money in the Bank or not but if you did, then you know as well I do that Ced delivered on his promise and is standing here STILL your WWE Intercontinental Champion. And just like I said I would, I walked into Money in the Bank the champion and I walked out the champion."
"It's been said before and it will be said again I am a man of many talents. I am a man who has the gift to gab and the gift to jab and if you want to find out first hand just ask Sami Zayn."
"Now as for tonight, I don't have a match and I don't have any challengers. But I do have-" Ced was saying but was grabbed from behind by EC3. EC3 PUT HIM IN THE HEADLOCK AND DROPPED HIM WITH THE ONE PERCENTER IN THE CENTER OF THE RING.
The WWE Universe cheered as the "Top One Percent" just made his intentions clear. He just laid out the WWE Intercontinental Champion. EC3 bent down and picked up the title with a smirk on his face. He raised the title up in the air as the fans cheered. He nodded along as he then dropped it and made the motion that he would the next champion.
(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)
Just a few moments after Ced was laid out in the center of the ring, he was walking around backstage with a frown. He was searching for the "Top One Percent" looking to pay him back for the attack.
"Have you seen him?" He asked as he turned to look at a random worker backstage.
"Seen who?"
"EC3, you dumbass!" Ced shouted as the guy jumped in fear and quickly shook his head no. Ced mumbled something inaudible and kept it moving still looking to find EC3. He walked past Chad Gable hearing him snicker this caused Ced to stop in his tracks and turn to face the culprit.
"What's so funny?"
"It's just funny that mighty Ced fell to a cheap shot. The same guy who walks around here with his head shoved up so far his ass and thinks that there's no one that could stop him." Ced chuckled and shook his head.
"I'm gonna enjoy this."
"Enjoy what-" He was quickly shut up when Ced struck him with a right hand making him stumble off into a crate. The Intercontinental Champion was livid and continued to pile in blows to Gable and followed up with a vicious flurry of stomps on the ribs of Chad Gable.
"Next time, if you're gonna talk shit. Remember this feeling. Remember this pain and don't." Ced said to Chad Gable as he walked off with the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)
Ced was walking into the parking garage with the title still looking on with a frown. He was so distracted by his anger that HE DIDN'T SEE THE CHAIR SHOT COMING DIRECTLY TO HIS HEAD. The culprit: EC3 stood over the Intercontinental Champion with a smile on his face.
"That's twice in one night." EC3 dropped the chair and mounted over "Black Leone" too pile in left and rights to the wound that EC3 opened up allowing blood to seap over onto the face of the Intercontinental Champion. EC3 stood up over his target and grabbed him lifting him up to his feet.
EC3 kicked the chair over to his position and DROPPED THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION WITH A ONE-PERCENTER ON THE CHAIR.
EC3 just scrambled the brains of the Intercontinental Champion. There was no doubt in the minds of any one, Ced had to have a concussion or maybe worse. EC3 looked down at Ced raising his arms as if he had a victory before he walked off as medical officials came running towards Ced to help him as he was currently out cold.
A/N: So this chapter I had EC3 attack Ced, one of the reasons is because I feel that EC3 could be a good opponent not to mention, he's a guy who would look good with the IC title if he won and he's a talent that the WWE wasted. I have a list of changes I have made to the time period that this story is set in. It's very different from current day WWE so bear with me.
Changes:
-WWE Universal Championship is no more instead it's the World Heavyweight Championship with the lineage of the World Heavyweight Championship. So, when Mick Foley was Raw GM and he brought a new world title, he brought the newly reinstated World Heavyweight Championship and Finn Balor won it.
-EC3, Kurt Angle, Curtis Axel, Lio Rush, The O.C., The Revival, Rusev, Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins were not released.
-Drew McIntyre won Money in the Bank in 2019 and used it to cash in on Brock and become the WWE Champion and dropped the title to Roman Reigns, who won the 2020 Royal Rumble.
-Shayne Baszler won the Women's Royal Rumble match.
-I am changing the PPV schedule for the rest of the year
June: Backlash
July: Extreme Rules
August: SummerSlam
September: Clash of the Champions
October: Hell in a Cell
November: Survivor Series
December: TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs
-And the coronavirus is not in this universe so it's not affecting anything.
