Chapter 11
Impact started off with a public company meeting. Every wrestler in TNA was watching some where in the back. Expect for AJ who was still out injured. The meeting was just about over. "Next I want to address the US title. Jake could please come into the ring," Jim Cornett said. Jake and Traci came down and entered the ring with both his belts.
"At Victory Road we are going to have a twenty man gauntlet for the gold and the winner of the match will be the new US champ. So if you be so kind please hand over the US title," Jim says. "Mr. Cornett I understand that it's better for TNA and for the US title itself for there to be a new champion so I will hand it over. I just hope that who ever wins this belt can hold it with the class and the honor that I have held it with," Jake says.
Jake takes the US title belt and hands it over to Cornett. "Alright now it's time to name the man that will get the next world title shot," Jim says. RVD and Heyman quickly enter the ring. Rob gets right in Jake's face. "Let me guess so how the fat ass over there managed to get you a title shot," Jake says. "Make your little joke Reed because it won't matter. Everyone knows the world title is coming to RVD," Paul says.
"That's right Paul. You know Reed I was the first guy to pin you in TNA. I know I am better than you. And after I win that NWA world title who know what I might do with it," RVD says. "Let me guess you may just throw it down because that idiot tells you to. You see Rob that is why I know I will win. For once I am 100 healed up and you won't be able to just kick me in the leg and have me go to ground," Jake says.
"I don't need you to have a bad anything I will beat you. After all I'm RVD the whole F'N show," Rob says. The lights suddenly go out. When they come back on the guy is beating on Jake with a kendo stick. The lights out again and when the come back on Sting is in the ring and he runs off the guy. Jake gets up and chases after the guy.
The chase was on backstage. The guy reached the interview set and Jake got his hands on the guy. Jake managed to take him down. As Jake was holding the guy down Traci started pulling the guy's masks off. It was a struggle until Jake managed to elbow the guy right in the head. Traci got the mask off the guy only to reveal he had a second one on. Before she could get the second one off RVD came up from behind and whacked Jake with a chair while Heyman pulled her off the guy.
The guy gets up and runs away while Jake is brawling with RVD. Traci low blows Paul E. She then starts kicking him. Jake throws RVD into the steel wall for the interview set and the gives chase again. Jake comes to a hall way that splits off in three ways. There is no way Jake can tell where the guy went.
Jake walks down one direction and starts opening doors looking for the guy. Traci heads down the other direction and does the same. She suddenly hears a scuffle. She runs to where Jake is and when she gets there she sees the guy running off with Jake on the ground unconscious.
Jake woke up in the training room. "Would you believe that I actually got his second mask off but before I could see his face he got a steel chair and whacked me in the face," Jake says. "Did you at least get a good look at something at that could eliminate a few people?" Traci asks. "No it happened way to fast," Jake says standing up.
"Jake are sure you should be standing up?" Traci asks. "No I'm not but I will dammed if I let this guy think he put me out," Jake says and picking up the NWA title. "Alright then lets just go home the main event was over ten minutes ago," Traci says.
"It's time to take thing up a notch. I may have to show my face sooner than I originally wanted," The guy said. He took off his mask that he had put back on after Jake got it off and brushed back his hair. "It's a good thing I wore two makes. But even with two of them I came to close to Reed seeing my face," The guy said.
The guy took off his black clothing and put on causal cloths. "Who knows maybe I'll show my face as soon as next week," The guy thinks. He picks up a magazine its Pro Wrestling Illustrated with Jake on the cover. He tears up the magazine.
Later that night Traci was watching one of her favorite movies while Jake was in the garage working out. Jake's cell phone rang. "Hello," Jake said. "Hey Jake its AJ. I heard what happened. Are you ok?" AJ asks. "Yeah I'm fine," Jake says.
"Good, look I got some great news," AJ says. "Oh really what?" Jake asks. "Well it going to be big and it might even help you out," AJ says. "Ok Styles spill what are you talking about," Jake says. "Well…"
