Chapter 25: Final Stop/Surprises/Pain
Another day goes by and so does another week, with 6 days left tensions are running high especially with the issues involving John Cena/Shelton Benjamin and Evolution. Not to mention the personal battle between Jeff Hardy and the Dangerous Alliance.
Backstage the Alliance was getting ready as they psyched up Paul E. as he got ready for his match with Jeff Hardy. Paul E. wasn't worried because he had the protection of the Alliance, when Dusty came in.
"Boys how's it going? Paul E. ready for your match?"
"Of course, I am a person that never backs down from a fight and tonight Jeff Hardy will feel my wrath."
"That's good, but here's the thing this Alliance thing with them going to the ring with you, see that's not going to happen tonight. See all of you are banned from ringside, but I will allow one person to be at ringside in this room and that will be Trish Stratus. She will be allowed at ringside and just to be fair, Jeff Hardy will not be able to take her away from you guys, she will sit down watch and then go to the back. Oh and this match is also No disqualification." Dusty left, the Alliance upset and angry.
"What the hell is this? He's screwing us again! I can't go in there and fight Jeff Hardy all by myself!" Paul E. was panicking, as the Alliance calmed him down.
"Hold on a second, Paul E. this is not your fault and we can figure out something, but all the blame should go to the one person that got you here: Lance Cade." CM Punk said pointing at Cade.
"Yeah, had he just won the match then none of this wouldn't have happened." Tomko said.
They were all around Cade surrounding him, all-angry, as Paul E. stepped up to his face, then slapped him in the face, hard, Cade grabbed him by the shirt, but was jumped by the Alliance, they brutally attacked him, laying in hard shots on him and then running him into a locker knocking him down and out as they walked out leaving Cade down.
Jeff Hardy made his way down to the ring, seemingly healed after the last few weeks of abuse, and he had a chance to put some abuse on the mastermind behind his physical and emotional pain: Paul E. Dangerously.
Paul E. made his way with Trish, who was able to walk on her own power for the 1st time in weeks. Paul E. was hesitant to get in there as Trish positioned herself at ringside.
"Paul E. knows he doesn't have a chance and he knows he's going to get hurt."
Paul E. was waiting and taking his time, as Jeff was impatiently waiting in the ring, Paul E. keep circling around the ring, waiting to pick his spot, the ref couldn't get him into the ring either. The crowd was getting anxious and angry at Paul E. for being a coward, Trish had enough and grabbed Paul E. and threw him into the ring, Paul E. was on his knees, he looked at Trish and Jeff with surprise on his face, he started begging.
"Paul E is in big trouble now."
Jeff Hardy immediately grabbed him and held him up so he can look him in the eye and Hardy looked possessed as Paul E. continued to beg off. Hardy took a look at Trish and she nodded and smiled, so Jeff nailed a huge right hand knocking him down. Hardy mounted on top of him, and started punching him as he tried to cover up.
"Jeff Hardy has been waiting for this moment for a long time."
Jeff Hardy picked him up and gave him a slam; he picked him up again and hit another right hand to knock him down. Hardy dropped an elbow on him, followed by, a knee to the back of the head, Paul E. was writhing and was Hardy was having fun.
"Trish is enjoying this, and she should be, because after this she's stuck with the Alliance, till Sunday and that's only if Jeff Hardy can defeat CM Punk in that ladder match."
Jeff Hardy grabbed a ladder from under the ring and threw in the ring, Paul E. was still down, Hardy picked up the ladder and drove it into the back of Paul E. then did again this time to the kidneys, Hardy set up the ladder near the corner and grabbed Paul E and hooked him and nailed a twist of fate. Hardy then climbed up top of the ladder, he set for a swanton, then all of a sudden the lights went out, confusing everyone, then they heard a crash like someone had just hit the mat hard.
The lights came on and Jeff was down and hurt, he used the corner to help himself up not knowing that there was someone right behind him with a steel chair in his hands. Jeff turned around and was just plastered with a chair shot that nearly took the seat off the hinges and Hardy was down and bloody. The unknown man then took Paul E. and dragged him over the body of Jeff Hardy, the ref made the count 1…2…3!
"Oh my God, Paul E. Dangerously has defeated Jeff Hardy!"
"But I thought Dusty banned everyone from ringside."
"No, see he banned all the guys in that locker room, that guy in the ring wasn't in the locker room so he can interfere since it's no DQ."
The Alliance ran down, and celebrated his "big" win, Jeff was down bleeding hard, Trish got in and went to go check on Jeff Hardy. Tomko and Snitsky lifted Paul E. on their shoulders and Paul E. raised his arms in victory but falling backwards because his back was in pain, so Punk was pushing his back so he can be straight on their shoulders. They put him down and Paul E. grabbed the mic and pronounced, "I present to you the newest member of the Dangerous Alliance, Ken Doane!" Paul E. dropped the mic and then got a glimpse of Trish attending to Jeff Hardy, and she had his blood on her hands again, Paul E. went over and tried to pull her away but she refused and keep checking on Hardy. Snitsky and Tomko grabbed her and physically pulled her away, Paul E. stopped them and looked at Trish and her angry eyes, Paul E. feeling good about his win, did something to her to punish her and it was something unexpected he slapped her in the face. But that wasn't enough he signaled for them to do something, we're never going to find out because Lance Cade came running down the aisle with a chair driving them out of the ring, they carried Trish out of there as Cade held his ground. The Alliance stopped on top of the ramp and pointed at him, help came for Jeff Hardy as the Alliance went to the back as Paul E. held out his hand and mocking his own slap to Trish.
"The Dangerous Alliance may have stepped over the line even further, but what will happen this Sunday when Jeff Hardy gets a chance to get his revenge, his pride and his girl all in one night but can he do it?"
At the end of the night Randy, Batista and Stacy were again in the ring, talking about something, when John, Shelton and Torrie came out to answer back.
"You know you guys have been running your mouths for the past month and a half, now it's time to shut up. You guys don't do anything, you all are a bunch of sorry ass punks who are too afraid to do anything and are afraid to back up your words. Well this Sunday it will time to see if you can back up your words. But as for tonight I want to see if Stacy can back up her words against Torrie, so get out of the way and let them fight and Torrie you might need this." John then pulled out a glove and gave it to her and then Shelton gave her the barbed wire, they all charged the ring fighting, Torrie went into the ring Stacy tried to run but Torrie stopped her. Torrie dragged her back in, Torrie held her in position and then rubbed the wire across her face for like a second when Stacy pushed her away and ran out. Randy and Batista having lost their fight retreated as well as Randy checked on the frantic Stacy, she was screaming about her head, Randy saw a big scratch on her head from the wire. Cena, Shelton and Torrie stood tall in the ring as Evolution backed up.
"This Sunday it's No Holds Barred, it's Evolution vs. John Cena and Shelton Benjamin with a lot on the line. Personal vendettas, pride, well-beings and more importantly Shelton's title shot at WrestleMania, what will happen?"
