Life Of A Superstar 3: SmackDown Vs. RAW 2, Pt. 4

Chapter 5: Bounty Hunter - The Hunted

A week after his date with Michelle, Chris competed against Booker T. After the voicemail he received from JBL about the Royal Rumble, he tried to shrug it off and won. However, after Booker exited the ring, Hardcore Holly and William Regal stormed into the ring to take Chris out. Booker quickly made up his mind and went back in to stop them. It would appear to him that he is a marked man...

Parking Lot

"Well, well, well," JBL approached behind Booker T. "Look who it is. The man who stuck his nose where it didn't belong. You'd better be careful, pal. Because that's a good way to lose it!"

"Is that supposed to be some kind of threat?"

"Wow, I can see who got all the brains in your family. Yeah, that is supposed to be some kind of threat. Stay out of my business, or my business becomes your business, and believe me, you don't want that."

"You're right. I don't, but when you start putting bounties on Superstars, I start to wonder if I'm gonna be next."

"Don't be ridiculous. You don't have anything I want, pal."

Voicemail from Booker

"All right, listen up! I've got a match tonight against one of the boys who tried to cash in on your bounty last week, and I just had a bad conversation in the parking lot with the man who wants you taken out of the WrestleMania picture. That makes me that an unwanted surprise is coming my way. You didn't ask me to help you last week, but I did. Now I'm calling in that favor. So I'm asking you: Do you have my back tonight?"

Chris calls Booker

Chris: Booker...

Booker: What's up, dog?

Chris: I tell you what, I am really paranoid now that I have a bounty on my head.

Booker: That's why I'm asking you if you have my back tonight.

Chris: You got it. Better be cautious, lest we get jumped during your match.

Booker: I hear ya. See you out there.

Chris managed Booker in his match with Hardcore Holly, but during the match, Chris' paranoia came into play when William Regal tried to ambush him. But Chris was wary of the ambush and made him pay for it. Booker managed to win despite the outside interference.

Voicemail from Booker

"Hey, just wanted to thank you watching my back last week against those goons. I appreciate it. Now I'm going to return the favor in your match tonight. See you out there."

Just like last week, Booker watched Chris in his match with William Regal. Afterward...

"Let's cut to the chase," Chris said to JBL. "You're offering $100,000 to the man who can take me out? I got a better idea: How about you put that bounty on the line and I'll put my #1 contender status for a title match at WrestleMania. You and me can settle it this Sunday at No Way Out."

Before JBL could comment, Booker T came out.

"Whoa, whoa, hold on! You're going to reward him for trying to take you out? I got a better idea: How about the two of us take him and his goons out right here tonight, and as a thank-you, you can put that WrestleMania title match on the line against me this Sunday?"

A counteroffer...

"Very well, Booker! I accept your offer!"

Later, Chris and Booker took on hardcore Holly and William Regal in a tag match. They successfully demolished the bounty hunters.

No Way Out

In order to ensure that there would be no outside interference, Teddy Long made the match a cage match. Chris battled Booker T in an epic clash. Booker was awarded this match but didn't fall through as Chris managed to climb out after a long battle. With his #1 contender spot secure, he can go on to WrestleMania.
