Chapter 12: Jeff Hardy VS Randy Orton

It was the night of Armageddon and they were live from some place in the south, and the anticipation for the WWE Title match has been incredible as John Cena will defend against HHH in the main event, but first more personal business needed to be taken care of first in the form of the no holds barred match between Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy.

Backstage Jeff was getting ready as Shelton and HBK walked in arguing about the previous match, which them against each other in which Shelton stole a victory from HBK.

"You're just mad because I beat you fair and square."

"Yeah right, you got lucky."

"Guys be quiet, I'm trying to get focus." Jeff said interrupting them.

"Sorry, look it's over let's put this behind us and focus on tonight." HBK said as they shook hands.

"What do you mean tonight?" Shelton said.

"I'm talking about the title match, we got to help Cena out tonight."

"Yeah let's talk to him later about it." Shelton said.

"Hey I'm out." Jeff said as he got up and left.

On the other side of the arena Randy and Stacy were walking ready to go in and make their entrance.

Jeff made his entrance to a pop and he walked to the ring with determination.

"This is a very personal vendetta between these two." Joey explained.

"Especially after what happened to Trish last week." King said.

"And we understand that Trish is still out for about another week or 2 because of the fireball." Coach said.

Randy and Stacy walked to the ring with angry expressions on their faces, Jeff didn't waste any time he went up the ramp and met Orton and went nuts on him. He rammed him into the set stage, then nailed him and Randy rolled down the ramp way. Jeff went under the ring and grabbed a few weapons to use. He grabbed a trashcan and nailed Orton with it. Hardy grabbed a kendo stick and nailed him across the head and then got him down then nailed him across the back.

"Hardy has taken the early control and has been the aggressor." Joey explained.

"Like we said he's got a lot to fight for tonight." King said.

Jeff grabbed a chair and got in the ring, Randy turned around and just got hammered with it busting him wide open and the chair was dented, Stacy was shocked and concerned over the well being of Randy. Stacy had enough of it and got up on the apron and caused a distraction.

"Stacy's on the apron." Joey said.

"Well obviously she's had enough and is trying to help Randy out." Coach explained.

Jeff went after her, which left him open for a low blow from Randy, Randy got up and his face was covered in blood and it was pouring. Randy started stomping on Jeff, then whipped him into the ropes and followed up with a clothesline. Randy asked Stacy for something and she gave him the chair that was used by Hardy earlier. Randy bagged it on the mat trying to get Hardy to nail him; Hardy did get up and was also plastered with a chair shot that echoed throughout the arena. The crowd was in awe over the shot, which busted open Hardy just like Randy. Randy grabbed Hardy and started pounding on the head to open him up even more.

"Orton looks like he's back in this match and has his adrenaline going again." Joey explained.

Randy posed to the dismay of the crowd with a few people cheering, he picked him up and gave him his modified back breaker. Orton was in control and stopped to go over to Stacy and gave her a quick kiss as she wiped the blood from off of him and handed him something and said something.

"You're doing great, now you know what you must do." Stacy said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a chain that looked awfully familiar to the one at War Games.

"He's going to do it again, he's going to try and permanently injured Jeff Hardy here tonight at Armageddon." Joey explained.

"What Stacy wants Stacy gets when it comes to Randy Orton." King said.

Randy got into the ring and was about to wrap the chain around the neck of Jeff Hardy but he hit a low blow himself to Randy and he went down in pain and dropped the chain. Stacy looked on shocked as Randy rolled around the ring in pain, Jeff had gotten up and looked at the chain and picked it up and held it up to the delight of the crowd.

"Jeff Hardy remembers that night, that painful night, the night when Randy Orton tried to end his career."

Jeff walked over with the blood in his eyes, he grabbed Orton and wrapped the chain around his neck, just like he did to him and Randy was choking, he was trying hard to breathe but couldn't. He started to fade away and the ref was about to call it over the fact that he can't continue, Stacy couldn't believe what she was seeing and went into the ring and grabbed a chair and swung it at the back of Jeff Hardy making him drop Randy who fell down and hit the mat with a thud. Jeff didn't even feel the shot because it was so weak, Jeff grabbed Stacy and looked at her, she tried to beg off but was in trouble.

"Now Jeff think about this now, don't stoop to their level." King said.

Jeff looked at Randy who was still down and then at Stacy, then the crowd, then Stacy and then nailed her with a twist of fate knocking her out. Jeff went to the outside and pulled out a table and set it up at ringside. He reached back under and grabbed a huge ladder to the cheers of the crowd. He set it up and put Randy on the table, he climbed up the ladder made his signal at the top and then jump and hit a swanton bomb onto Randy through the table to the cheers of the crowd.

"HOLY CRAP!" Joey yelled.

"That's it they're dead." King said.

"They cant' go on after that." Coach said.

After a few moments, Jeff put his arm over Randy and the ref counted, 1…2…No! Randy just barely got his shoulder up to the shock of everyone.

"How in the hell did he kick out of that?" Joey asked.

"That's guts, determination and pride that Randy Orton has in his body." Coach said.

Jeff didn't know what to do next then picked him up and dragged him over to the ramp and was next to edge as he thought for a second.

"What could be going through his mind right now?" King asked.

Jeff picked up Randy and got him over to the edge and stood him and started nailing right hands and Randy started tittering over the edge, Stacy started crawling up the ramp, Hardy had him reeling, just a shot or two and he was gone. Stacy got closer as Randy had one leg up and was about to go when Stacy nailed a low blow to Jeff Hardy and Randy was saved. Randy got up quickly and grabbed Hardy:

Then he hit an RKO and they went off the edge and off the stage and both went crashing through a bunch of tables.

"OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD!" Joey screamed with his trademark battle cry.

Stacy ran down and went over there and put Randy's arm over Jeff and the ref counted 1…2…3! It's over!

"Thank God it's over!" Joey said.

Flair went over and he and Stacy helped Randy up and got him to the back, as EMT went and helped Jeff Hardy and strapped him over to the stretcher and took him away to the hospital.

"Jeff Hardy put up a hell of a fight but in the end, the intangible of Stacy at ring side proved to be the difference maker." Joey explained.

Backstage John Cena was getting ready, when the door opened, he got up and met Shelton, Shawn and Show as they greeted him back.

"Champ what's up?" Show asked.

"Nothing just getting ready." Cena said.

"How you feelin?" Shelton asked.

"Pretty good, but I've got make sure that you guys got my back tonight?"

"Of course, were you there for us at War Games?" Shawn asked.

"Yeah."

"Then you've just answered your own question." Shawn said.

"Thanks guys, I've got to go." Cena said as he grabbed his jersey but it had a different name on the back, it read: TORRIE on the back of the jersey.

"Good luck, we got your back man." Show said.

HHH was walking with purpose with Flair right by his side, the title match he's been waiting for was about to happen, next!
