Randy walked into the arena by himself, hoping that this day would go so much better than the last few have. Tonight would be the match he'd be having with John, along with Batista, and they'd be facing Triple H, Flair, and Snitsky. He still hadn't talked to Alexis yet, and was missing her and his their children more and more each day. He could only hope that what Mark had told him would work, cause he was telling the truth when he said he'd rather die, than to live without them in his life. He had just reached his locker room when he heard somone call out his name. He turned around and saw Jessie coming almost hesitantly up to him.
"Just wanted to wish you good luck with the match" she said quietly, not looking at him opting to look at the floor instead "I hope this isn't the last time we speak" with those words she walked away. Randy sighed heavily and walked into his locker room, praying to God that the match would go well and that he would win and get Jessie back in his life.
Finally after what felt like hours to Randy it was time for his match. He had on new trunks just for the occasion. He wanted to impress Jessie in any way he could. He was standing behind the curtain waiting on his music to start. It was decided that he would go out first to explain why the match was taking place. His music started and he almost rushed out from behind the curtain, the mood between the 6 men was less lively than a funeral. He walked down to the ring, ignoring the boos from the fans. He stepped through the ropes and took Lilian's mic so he could speak. "I know you all don't like me right now" the boos increased, telling Randy he was right "but I come to make amends. I am teaming with Batista" more boos from the audience "and John" cheers "and our opponents are Triple H, Ric Flair and Gene Snitsky" the audience booed louder than they had so far. "But there's more to it than just a match" Randy sighed before continuing "its a way for me to show John's daughter, Jessie, that she can trust me again. See when I went back to Evolution I pushed all of my loved ones out of my life. The ones that are most important to me" Randy stopped, choking up as he thought about Alexis and his babies. He took a deep breath and continued "and tonight I will prove to those I wronged that they can put their trust in me again" Randy put on bravado that he didn't feel.
After Randy had spoken a theme he didn't recognize started. It was Fighter by Christina Aguilera. He watched in shock as Jessie came out from behind the curtain. She took in the whole thing before making her way over to the announcer booth with Jerry and JR. She sat beside JR and put on the headphones. After this went on John came out and hyped up the crowd. The noise was deafening as he made his hyped up entrance. Batista then made his way and the three partners waited while their opponents entered. The boos from the fans shook the roof as the three men made their way to the ring. They got in and went to their corner as Lilian got out of the ring and the ref got in.
Randy and Ric started the match. Randy easily overtook the veteran. He was visibly stepping up his game, not wanting to slip up and lose out of nowhere. He shot Ric to the ropes and landed a series of punches. He whipped Ric to the opposite ropes and when Ric shot back he caught him in a hard clothesline. Randy was on fire, no one had ever seen him this fired up and everyone was visibly shocked. After beating on Ric a few minutes Ric managed to slip from Randy and tag Gene in. Randy, winded, decided to tag in Dave, not willing to risk anything. The two monsters went at it with extreme aggression, both were trying to win the match for their team. Dave had the added incentive though because he knew how important this match was for Randy and he wanted to win it for him. He managed to catch Gene in a powerbomb and covered him getting a 2 count. He cussed to himself and continued to beat on Gene and blood started pouring out of Gene's face.
When he went for another pin Hunter ran in the ring and broke it up. John rushed in and tackled him to the corner, beating on him fiercely. He was still pissed for what Hunter had done to Jessie and he intended to take all of his aggression out. Once the ref got them separated Gene tagged Hunter and Dave tagged in Randy. Randy ran at Hunter and they began brawling wildly all around the ring. The action spilled outside and Hunter went to ram Randy's head into the steel steps but Randy blocked it and reversed, sending Hunter's head into the steps with a loud thud. Hunter was woozy after the move and couldn't resist when Randy started pounding his back and body against the barricade. He rolled Hunter's body back into the ring and put Hunter's body on the turnbuckle, going up behind him. Candice Michelle started running to the ring then, intending to interfere. Jessie got extremely pissed and chased after her. She grabbed her by the hair and brought her onto her shoulders, delivering a huge FU on the mat around the ring. Back in the ring Randy had Hunter's head hooked in the position for an RKO, both standing on the top turnbuckle. Randy took a deep breath and jumped delivering a picture perfect, and aggressive RKO to Hunter. He ignored the pain in his back and rolled over, covering Hunter's body for the 1,2,3. The crowd lept to their feet as John and Dave ran into the ring to celebrate. Gene and Ric hauled Hunter's body out of the ring and dragged him to the back. Jessie climbed into the ring, smiling widely. When Randy turned around she launched herself into his arms. Randy was in extreme pain from the RKO but his happiness overrode it and he hugged Jessie tightly to him as she hugged him fiercely.
"So did I do good?" Randy asked Jessie as he tied his sneaker. They were backstage in Randy's locker room after the match and Randy had already showered and dressed.
"Yeah" Jessie said, a smile forming on her lips "I finally feel as if I can trust you again, or at least begin to anyway".
"Good" Randy said to her as he finished with his shoe "because you can, I'm sorry I did those things to you and made you feel like I wasn't there for you and that you couldn't trust me".
"Let's just try to move forward" Jessie told him, Randy nodded and the two hugged before going back to where John and Trish were waiting.
Another short and not all that good chapter but it says what I want it to say, hopefully the next chapter will be better crosses fingers
