Chapter 21: The Night After Surprise
The night after the Rumble, there was a lot of things to look forward to tonight, first off HHH will take on Jeff Hardy in a Royal Rumble rematch, plus John Cena explains where he has been and why he came back.
Backstage Jeff was again getting ready, knowing what he had to do when Trish walked in and she looked apologetic.
"Jeff, I just wanted to say I'm sorry about last night, I really wanted to help you but."
"But what? The fact that you cost me the title, the fact that you acted like you wanted to help me but turned on me? Is that what you meant by helping me out?"
Trish was speechless, she couldn't believe that Jeff would say this to her, she never meant to cost him the title.
"Exactly, I think it will be great if you stay away from the match tonight, and I think we should spend some time away from each other." With that Jeff helped her out of the room then slowly closed the door.
Trish felt so bad she leaned against his door and slid down to the floor, how did they start to separate away, she thought for a second and got up and went to go to her locker room, Ashley stopped her and asked what's wrong.
"Everything in my life is wrong, I've got to think about my life right now." Trish said as she walked into her locker room, leaving a concerned Ashley behind. Then all of a sudden there was a loud scream coming from Trish's locker room, Ashley went up to the door and tried to open it but it was locked, she started banging on the door calling for Trish, Ashley then ran over to Jeff's locker room.
"Jeff something's going on in Trish's locker room, she might need help."
"That's nice but I've got something more important to worry about right now." With that he left because his match was next, Ashley sighed frustrated and then ran to get someone else to help.
After the commercial break there was someone at Trish's door with a key to open the door, when Ashley went in she saw nothing, no one was there and all of Trish's things were gone.
HHH was walking getting ready when Shelton came into the picture and in his face and simply said, "2 months, that belt's mine." Then walked away leaving an angry HHH who looked at his waist and title that was wrapped around it, then walked to the ring and made his entrance. Jeff Hardy made his entrance and was again determined to take the title.
"Jeff Hardy doesn't seem too concerned about the whereabouts of Trish Stratus." Joey said.
"Why should he be he's got a WWE Title shot right now, he has no time to think about some chick who will cost him the title again." Coach explained.
Hardy ran into the ring and attacked him not waiting for the bell, he took down HHH, and just pounded him. HHH can barely get out of the box, he rolled to the floor hoping to catch a break, he took the belt off of himself, Jeff went after him and grabbed him and slammed him into the steel steps, he grabbed him and threw him into the ring post, HHH slid into the ring. Jeff went in but HHH attacked him as he got in, HHH stomped on him at the end of the ring, then choked away at him. HHH picked him up and whipped him into the ropes, Hardy ducked the clothesline but HHH came back with a Harley Race knee to the face. HHH picked him up again and delivered a suplex, then made a cover but only got 2. HHH picked him up and gave him a slam, HHH dropped an elbow, then covered and got a 2. HHH locked in a rear chinlock and placed his knee into the back of Hardy and pulled back on his neck. The crowd tried to get Hardy to fight back, Hardy took that and tried to get to his feet, he was fighting up, he got to his feet, he hit an elbow to the gut, then another, then another, HHH's grip was released, he was free, he hit a few right hands on HHH, he whipped him into the ropes put his head down and HHH hit a face buster. HHH got him up and put in the corner and started stomping on him, the ref pulled him back and HHH paused and posed for the crowd. HHH grabbed him again and fired him off the ropes, and delivered a huge spine buster, AA style. He mad a cover but Hardy just kicked out, he tried again but he kicked out again. HHH was getting frustrated, he picked him up and set him up for the pedigree, but Hardy back dropped him and got out of it. Hardy got it going after that, he hit HHH with everything he had, he had momentum on his side, he hit the twist of fate, then went up top and hit the swanton and made the cover, 1…2…NO! HHH just barely got out and Hardy was stunned, he went over to the referee and argued with him but it was no. Hardy was frustrated as well, he went over to HHH but was met with a kick to the gut and was again set for a pedigree, but he double legged him down, Hardy sling shot him to the corner, but the ref was there and so HHH went crashing into the ref knocking him down.
"Shades of last night, the ref gets knocked down again."
Hardy hit another twist of fate, but there was no ref so he went outside and grabbed a chair, he went inside the ring as Evolution ran out, he held them off with the chair, all 3 of them were waiting on the floor, as Hardy started pounding on HHH with the chair to the back.
Flair then looked at the top of Titantron and made a now signal and then a light went up and shined on the top of the tron, and Jeff looked and was shocked at what he saw.
He saw Trish up there, hands and legs tied up, and Snitsky and Tomko holding her up there. Jeff didn't know what to do, as Flair started yelling at him that they will throw her off. Jeff was panicking and pacing, he picked up HHH and hit a DDT then looked back up, then he saw that she was being inched off the top. Trish looked terrified up there as the camera zoomed in, Jeff saw her face on the tron screen, and was conflicted on what to do. Then all of a sudden someone came in from behind Jeff, the guy ran over and smashed a cell phone over his head knocking him out, the individual then put HHH's arm over Hardy and got the ref to count the win for HHH!
"Wait a second! That's Paul Heyman! What the hell is he doing!"
HHH and Evolution went to the back as Paul E. took the mic and was on the ramp.
"For those of you who don't know me, my name is Paul E….Dangerously. For those of you who don't know about my accomplishments, well here they are: I am the man, that has managed some of the greatest superstars, of all time. Guys like Rick Rude, Arn Anderson, Sabu, Tazz, Bobby Eaton, Barry Windham, and a guy by the name of Steve Austin. The point I'm making is that without my guidance none of these guys would've been the stars that they were. I managed them to greatness in WCW and ECW, now onto the future. Jeff Hardy, Mr. Extreme, you don't nothing about extreme like me, and when I found out that you and Trish were having trouble, I decided to help you out by taking her myself, well me and my new Dangerous Alliance, the original group was great, but I intend on making it better now with my 2 body guards Snitsky and Tyson Tomko. My 3rd member is a young up and coming superstar by the name of Lance Cade. But Jeff, I see that you really want Trish back, but too bad for you I have possession of her now and you are not going to get her back. But being the fair man that I am, I'm going to give you a chance to get her back. Now we're not going to throw her off, but we will give her back to you next week. That is if you can beat my 3 members of the Dangerous Alliance in a gauntlet match, then we will give you Trish back. By the way good luck because you're need more than that." With that Paul E. dropped the mic and went to the back and on top of the tron Trish was gone, leaving Jeff Hardy in the ring thinking about the situation.
Backstage John Cena was getting ready to go out there and explain his situation; he took a deep breath and then started to walk to the ring.
The Time Is Now hit and the crowd cheered as John Cena walked out seemingly like his usual self, full of energy and posing to the crowd as he walked to the ring. He got in looked at the crowd again and grabbed the microphone.
"Yo, yo, yo, wait a second here. I know you want me to probably say something that was witty and funny, but not tonight because I have a serious situation to address. See a few weeks ago, I walked out because I had nothing else to do and I had nobody with me to help me out, so I left. I went out and just relaxed for a few weeks, thinking about my career and realizing that I've done everything anybody in this profession would love to accomplish. Then I come home last week and I decide to watch RAW, seeing how it was, everything looked good until I saw Randy Orton, that little punk was running his mouth again, so was his little bitch! But what made me more upset was what they did to Torrie, what they did, lit a fire back inside of me, and from what I've been told is that those 2 have been running their mouths for the past few weeks I've been gone, that's fine with me but when you attack Torrie, that's when you bother me. What you did was get me going, you attacked ME in the worst way, you RKO'ed the one person I care about, and now I know what I've got to fight for, I'm fighting for Torrie. But since Randy Orton thinks he's better than me, why don't you come out here now and prove it."
Randy came out with Stacy and Batista, " I don't think so, see I proved last night I'm smarter, because I eliminated you from the Royal Rumble. But you cost this man his title shot, and now he's going to get his revenge tonight and maybe later I'll prove I'm a better man in the ring and in the bed as well."
"I don't really care about your bedroom habits, and I sure as hell don't care about that walking STD and I wouldn't touch her anyway after being with you. Look I don't care who comes down, I'm here to fight, bring it bitches!"
Batista was about to go down when Dusty Rhodes appeared on the screen, "hold up right there, see I see you guys want to fight so bad, so I made this match for No Way Out, it will Randy Orton and Batista VS. John Cena and the Rumble Winner Shelton Benjamin in a no holds barred match up!"
Randy was upset, John was happy, Randy and Batista decided to go to the ring, they ran to it and John Cena was trying to fight them off but the numbers were too much. Then Shelton Benjamin ran in and evened the odds they eventually ran them out, Stacy was at the edge of the ring and John looked at her, then reached through the ropes and grabbed her by the hair and dragged her in the ring as Batista and Randy walked up the ramp.
"You want to attack Torrie, fine, then this is my receipt for her, I take out your main squeeze right now." John said as he picked up Stacy in the FU position, Randy ran to the ring but stopped when he saw Shelton blocking the way with a chair, John delivered the FU to Stacy! Then he told her that she can't see Torrie, Shelton and John celebrated as Randy dragged Stacy out and carried out to the back, as John and Shelton continued to pose for the crowd.
"John Cena repaid Randy by Fu'ing Stacy just like when Randy RKO'ed Torrie."
A/N: Done, get it they both attacked each other's girlfriends. Any way hope you like it, and just in case you didn't know what I said about Paul Heyman is all true he did managed all those guys and did have the Dangerous Alliance in the early 90s in WCW. SO there you go any way review and here's a preview:
Next Week: Jeff Hardy runs the gauntlet against the Dangerous Alliance in hopes of getting Trish back. Plus how will Randy react after the Fu, and Torrie comes back and John confronts her about why she left him a few weeks ago.
