Notes: I forgot to mention this but Cena is heel. He cost helped Angle beat up Eugene who had cost him his match against Jericho on accident at Summerslam. Yes this is AU.

"I don't see any blood or any concussion Jamie." Kirk, the trainer, said as he inspected Jamie's head. "You are good to go tonight. I still can't believe your own father nailed you with a mic. Is that normal in your family?" He was used to patching up McMahon's after they got into their own little battles so it wouldn't surprise him.

"Yeah. I should have known." He said thinking about his past fights with his father in USWA. "I turned my back. I should have known better. Thanks uh..."

"Kirk. And no problem Jamie. I usually have to patch someone up every night I get used to it. Good luck out there." Kirk said watching him hop off of the table and walk out of the room. He just shook his head. He was glad his family wasn't dysfunctional.

As Jamie walked down the hall he saw Jerry Lawler standing there with his father. He was pretty sure he wouldn't get a fair match with Jerry Lawler as the ref but what could he do? Bischoff had made the match and if he wanted a piece of John Cena he'd have to beat Chris Jericho. It didn't matter if he had to fight Lawler and his father to do so. He'd done it for years to get what he wanted and he'd do it now.

Being at small as he was, he had to prove time and time again that he could hold his own in the ring. He was used to the height jokes. He'd heard them all his life. Heck he remembered the time he said to Wolfie D that he had a ladder and he could punch him in the eyes. He was sometimes grateful that his partner would slouch. It made him look not so short. He wondered what he was up to now. He hadn't heard anything from him since they were both in TNA and that wasn't even as a team. Oh well it was decided after WCW that they were done as a team. He could fight his own battles. He didn't need a tag team partner to bail him out.

He found his locker room and saw that Hurricane and Rosie were in there also. He had met Shane Helms when they were both in WCW. Shane was in Three Count and he was of course in PG-13. They didn't talk much while there and he wasn't looking for a conversation tonight so he found an empty locker and put his sat down in front of it.

He quickly changed into baggy shorts and tennis shoes. No shirt but he pulled out the hat he had worn at Hardcore Heaven 97 and his Mickey Mouse jacket with his name on it. He was ready for tonight. He remembered the last time he was in a WWE lockerroom was when he was a member of the Nation of Domination. He and Wolfie mostly stayed out of the way and watched them plan. Mostly they came out and did the rap and they'd interfere. He only had one match there and that was against the Legion of Doom. He didn't think he'd forget how they had their butts handed to them by the much larger tag team. He wasn't going to have that problem tonight.

He watched people walk in and out of the locker room but no one said a word to him. He guessed to them he was an outsider. He didn't even work for the company. He hoped to get a contract but if he didn't he supposed it wouldn't bother him as long as he got his hands on John Cena.

A woman walked over to him. He thought it was weird that she'd just walk into a men's locker room but didn't say anything. "So Jamie how are you going to deal with the Lawler being a ref? He said that you had better watch out."

"Like I did in USWA. If he got in my way I'd punch him. He's not going to scare me. He never did in USWA and neither will my dad."

"So Bill's your dad. Why did he punch you?"

"Yeah he's my dad. Why did he punch me? Hell if I know. Ask him." He was wondering if this girl had any brain inside her head. He looked over at the others in the locker room and they were all snickering. Maybe they were used to her stupidity but he was the 'new' guy. He didn't even watch the WWE except the one week Cena had caught his eye. "Get the hell out of my locker room whoever you are."

"Fine." She said leaving.

"Who is that?" He asked Helms who was standing not too far from him.

"Maria. Ignore her. She's a bubblehead but that's all you can do. Good luck tonight Jamie." He said leaving for his match with Rosie against the Heartthrobs.

Jamie had been told that his match with Jericho was the main event after Matt Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin for the Intercontinental Title. From what he'd pieced together from listening to people in the locker room, after Matt beat Edge at Summerslam he and Lita disappeared and came back and cost Matt a match against a guy named Chris Masters a month later. He was sure he didn't even want to know what was going on with that.

"Dundee you are up!" He looked up to see Arn Anderson in the doorway.

He walked out to the ring to a mixed reaction. He had to give it to Jericho. He was right. A lot of fans didn't know him.

He glared at Jerry Lawler who was standing there in a ref shirt. He looked around to make sure his father wasn't out there but didn't see him. He looked back and noticed his father was now doing commentary. He supposed that would keep him out of the match. Jericho came out and they glared at each other before Lawler signaled for the bell to start the match.

The match went back and forth until Lawler stuck his foot out causing Jamie to go through the ropes. He lay there a moment before Jericho was on him punching him. He grabbed a chair and hit him in the head. Jamie's hand went up and felt something sticky. Great. This time he had been busted open. Jericho threw him back in the ring and hit him in the knee with the chair. No bell rang but Jamie didn't expect one. Lawler obviously was going to side with Jericho.

"Oh come on! He should be unbiased!" JR yelled watching the cheating going on in the ring.

"Who said the ref had to be unbiased?" Coach asked.

"I think he's doing a great job." Bill added.

"Well it's not fair. Jamie should get a fair match not this beating. Someone should go out and help him!"

"Who Ross? He has no friends here. And I'm not going to help him. He refuses my help all the time." Bill said. "He can't go crying to daddy about everything."

"You are heartless! That's your son in there." Ross shot back. Bill didn't even respond.

Jamie was bleeding like crazy but fought back. John Cena came out when Jamie had the upper hand. He had brass knucks with him and prepared with the intention to hit Jamie with them. Jamie ducked and Jericho got knocked out.

Jamie knocked Cena out of the ring with the chair and covered Jericho.

Lawler very slowly got into position

Jamie got up and walked into the brass knucks.

"See you at Taboo Tuesday." Cena spat before leaving the ring.
