It was the Sunday night of Lockdown and Nessa was extremely nervous...Joe was going to be facing Sabu and no matter how she looked at it she knew it wasn't going to be pretty. Her hands were shaking and her heart was racing even though Joe was the one that was actually in the match.

"Ness?" Joe whispered, seeing that her hands were shaking like leaves.

"Yeah?"

"You okay?"

"I'm fine, why?" She questioned and he laughed a little.

"Oh just for the simple fact that you're shaking like crazy...babe I'm gonna be okay, I promise. I can handle anyone and anything that they throw at me, you should know that by now."

"I do Joe it's just that...it's fucking Sabu. The guy's insane and willing to do anything in a match, hell you saw the match he had with Abyss at Turning Point last year." Nessa said, speaking of the barbed wire massacre and wincing as the visuals of that match came flooding back in her mind.

"I know Ness but our match is nothing like that."

"True but I still worry and I have every right to."

"Yes you do but you also need to have faith in my ability in the ring." Joe pointed out.

"You know I do, I have faith in you in every aspect of life but I'm just scared of you getting hurt." She admitted and he pulled her in his lap.

"I'll be fine, trust me."

"Always." Nessa whispered, giving him a gentle kiss on the lips. The knock came on the door letting him know that his match was up and Nessa shuddered. She stood up, straightened her black leather skirt and blue corset tank top that matched his trunks and they made their way to the tunnel.

Joe gave her one last kiss as his music started up and Nessa quickly wiped away a stray tear that had managed to fall. Putting on a fake smile she walked by his side out the tunnel. They stopped at the top of the ramp and did their usual routine then walked down to the ring. Nessa stayed on the outside as Joe handed her his belt and she slung it over her shoulder, smiling at him.

Sabu came out and Nessa's heart jumped into her throat as she saw a steel chair in his hand. Joe jumped out of the ring and stood by her side. "Normal match huh?" She whispered, trying her best not to look pissed.

Joe said nothing opting instead to give her a rough, passionate kiss that left her weak in the knees and made her forget momentarily about Sabu. He gave her a wink and got back in the ring.

The bell rung and the first thing Sabu did was throw the chair at Joe but he was able to dodge it. Nessa flinched and wanted to look away, yet she couldn't. The match was going as brutally as she knew it would and she found herself praying for Joe's safety. Sabu was sitting on the mat and the next thing Nessa knew he was pulling something out of his boot. She was unable to catch sight of what it was at first until he stood up and started charging at Joe. "Joe! He's got a spike!" Nessa yelled just in time. Joe grabbed Sabu's hand that held the spike with both of his hands only to have Sabu force him to the mat. Nessa watched in horror as Sabu was aiming the spike straight for Joe's head and face. "Come on Joe, fight him off dammit!" Nessa screamed, pounding the mat.

Joe finally countered was able to overpower him and applied an Armbar while the ref got the spike away from Sabu and threw it out of the ring allowing Nessa to breathe a sigh of relief. The match continued until Joe was able to hit the Musclebuster and got the pinfall.

He jumped out of the ring as they announced him as the winner and still X division champion then he grabbed Nessa in a bear hug who giggled and hugged him back. Joe was completely covered in sweat but it didn't matter to her at that moment, the only thing that mattered was that he made it through the match unharmed.

She gave him a kiss that rivaled the one he had given her before the match started then handed him his title. "You did it baby." She whispered and he smiled.

"I told you I would." The two of them made their way up the ramp only to have Joe stop at the entrance of the tunnel and turn back to Sabu, smiling as he held the title above his head.
