Chapter 13
It had been two mouths since Jake's wedding. RVD was still US champ and was in the ring cutting a promo with Heyman. "You know what I am getting sick of tired of TNA management trying to screw me over. First after I win the belt they make AJ Styles the number one contender. Beat him, then Rhino gets a shot he tries to break my leg again," RVD says as the fans boo knowing that was a flat out lie. Paul takes the microphone, "That right you should boo Rhino. Getting back to the point now that Rhino has been beaten…" Samoa Joe's music interrupts Paul.
"You know for the last three mouths I have watched you walk around with that belt. All the time I have been unable to challenge but you now my I can challenge again. I have only lost twice in my TNA career. So I think I am the real number one contender," Joe says. "You have only lost twice to a guy that I beat. I guy a beat real easy," RVD says getting another dig on Jake.
Before Joe respond, Team Canada's music hits. D'Amore and Bobby Roode make there way to the ring. "I don't know what makes me sicker the fact that here is US title or the fact that my boy Bobby Roode has been shut out of the title picture," D'Amore says.
Paul takes the microphone. "Well maybe if you boy could actually win a match he would get a shot," Paul says. AJ's music hits he comes out with a mike. "Now it seems to me that everyone is throwing there hat in the race. So I might as well do it. After all I am the Triple Crown winner and I do want to be a Grand Slam winner," AJ says.
Larry Zybsko comes out. "Ok I am going to but a stop to this right now. TNA management has already decided to throw a curve ball at you RVD. You next title defense will be a King of the Mountain match. Joe, Roode, and Styles will be you challengers and there will be one mystery man," Larry says. "Hold you have no right do this with out clearing this with me," Paul yells. "No Paul, TNA management doesn't have to clear anything with you. It's there company," Larry says.
"It doesn't matter what kind of match I am in. I don't lose I am RVD the greatest wrestler alive today," RVD says. "At least tell us who the mystery guy is," Paul demands. "You know I wanted to keep it a secret but he wants to come out here so here he is. Ladies and Gentlemen the "Omaha Outlaw" Jake Reed!" Larry yells, the crowd erupts as Jake's music plays and he makes his way out and stands next AJ and Larry.
Traci is behind Jake holding his cane. "You know RVD I am sorry that my brother took his eyes off the road. I am sorry that you got hurt. But I won't be sorry when I kick your ass. You see with my brother it was a terrible mistake. Now why the initial injury was a bad landing on my part, the second injury was all on you," Jake said.
"Eye for an eye," RVD says. "I don't buy that crap. Because while you knee was weak you tried to destroy mine," Jake takes the cane from Traci. "I had to lean on this during my wedding. I couldn't even have the first dance with my wife," Jake says.
"Oh cry me a river," RVD says. "They'll be a river. A river of your blood," Jake yells running down with the cane in hand. RVD bails out with Paul. Before Jake can go after him, Bobby Roode Jumps him. Jake hits him with the cane. Joe just leaves. Jake goes after RVD. Jake chases him to the back and sees as RVD drive off.
Jake walked into the dressing room. The boys got up to great him. "Welcome back man," Christian said. "I can't wait to see you tear RVD apart," Rhino said. "You want have to wait to long," Jake said.
AJ comes into the locker room. "You eve think to give me some warning before you do things like this," AJ says. "Hey this is wrestling Trust no one," Jake said. "Looks like we have the same goal," AJ said. "We have wrestled each other before," Jake said.
"I know we just have to do it hard fast and clean," AJ said. "Yep, you ever going to apologize?" Jake asks. "Apologize for what?" AJ asks. "For diving out the way and letting me hurt myself," Jake says. "What?" "If you hadn't dived out the way I wouldn't have hurt myself," Jake says. "It's not my fault you can't land right," AJ yells getting mad. Jake is smiling and everyone realizes he was joking. "You're not funny," AJ said. "Your right I'm not. You are," Jake says starting to laugh.
Traci is heading to the dressing room to get Jake when she turns a corner Gail Kim runs into her, "Watch where you are going," Gail says. Traci slaps her. "What was that for?" Gail asks in pain. "For jumping me and making sure I couldn't help Jake," Traci says. "Why you bitch," Gail says trying to hit Traci. Traci takes her hand and the cat fight is on.
The agents and security break them apart. Gail has a blood noise. Jake shows up. "You ok babe?" Jake asks. "Yeah I'm fine," Traci says. "Good lets go home. Nice seeing you again Gail," Jake says.
RVD is in his hotel room he is seething that Jake is back. "I am going to finish Reed off once and for all. TNA thinks the have put me at a disadvantage but King of the Mountain plays right into my hands with that ladder," RVD says out loud. Some one knocks at the door, "Rob its Paul open up," Paul says on the other side of the door.
Rob opens the door. "Don't worry Rob. I will call my dad you know he is a lawyer he will find an out. There is no way in hell I am going to let them do this to you," Paul yells. "Paul E. calm the hell down. I want this match. I can finish Reed off and prove how great I am," Rob says.
"But Rob you don't understand," Paul says. "No you don't understand. I am the whole F'n show. If not for the idiot's brother I would have won the ECW title. Hell after I got hurt it was the beginning of the end for ECW. So I am going to take him out once for all," RVD says.
Jake and Traci walk into there living room. Jake sits down on the sofa and rubs his leg. "Are you in a lot of pain?" Traci asks worried. "No not really. It's just a little sore," Jake says. "Don't lie to me," Traci says. "I'm not it is just a little sore," Jake says.
"Are you going to be ready for King of the Mountain?" Traci asks. "Yeah I'll be ready. I am going to ask Larry to book in a match next week so I can test it out," Jake says. "Jake I know you want revenge on Van Damn but it's not worth doing permanent damage to you leg," Traci says. "I am not going to do permanent damage to anything on myself something that belongs to RVD is a different story. Let's talk about anything else," Jake says.
"Ok, what do you want to talk about," Traci says. Jake pulls her into a kiss and they lay down on the sofa. "You said you wanted to talk," Traci says pulling away. "You can talk. Talk dirty," Jake says kissing her again.
