Shelton had heard that Victoria was acting weird since last week before his tag team fatal four way elimination match with Jeff Hardy. He was hearing rumors of her actions being indifferent and funny, vaguely similar to the character she portrayed on national television. It wasn't normal for an wrestler to get too into their character gimmick and he even watched the WWE mock and mimic the event before, when he was still young and Undertaker wasn't as big of the star as his was, and thus was stuck with the angle of getting too into his gimmick.

Jeff Hardy wasn't fairing and better then Victoria but it wasn't about a gimmick but more about being on edge. He seemed weird before, last week during his entrance into the tag match. No dancing for the female fans and little kids, or even walking under ladders to shock the spectators but a straight generic run into the ring and fighting. The problem with the evaluation was that for the ten years Jeff Hardy and his brother Matt Hardy wrestled they did nothing normal or generic, ranging from the way they walked, dressed, wrestled, took spots and what not, so to see Jeff Hardy do a normal run in meant something had to be up.

He seen Jeff was always on edge and even heard that Victoria ambushed Jeff and attacked him before last week which was why he was shaken up. He heard the rumor from some giggling new divas from the diva search and ECW. He even heard that she was looking to do the same to him, but listening to Kelly Kelly tell him that, It likely was bull in Shelton's opinion. After All she was still nineteen or twenty, what ever he was still older then her by eight to nine years so her ignored her until he seen Jeff.

He was not hunch over and paranoid like Miz was when it came to John Bradshaw Layfield but he was jumpy when it came to women touching him. At first when he seen Kelly Kelly or was it the blond Brook Adams, well one had grabbed Jeff's back and it caused him to jump. At first he claimed it was shock from a new tattoo or an addition to his grand piece that went from his neck to his finger tips.

He eventually stopped having excusing and even fighting the giggling divas when they grabbed him. For a while at house shows he eventually guessed Jeff Hardy might be a homosexual, he heard that there were gay wrestlers. Chris Kanyon and "Pretty Boy" Pat Patterson immediately came to mind. Jeff could be a gay wrestler, which would explain all the nail polish, the make up and paint, why he never really worked a big romantic angle with Trish like others did with her, his hair and even the dancing.

It did make a lot of sense as a theory but he seen it was flawed when he seen Victoria throw him into a wall after rushing him around a corner. The girl was fast he did admit, crazy and large for a girl but still fast. Her face was close to him as she was doing or saying something to her that made Jeff have a weird and awkward face that he never seen on him before.

He seen Jeff looking at him and tilting his head to the side, likely a sign to leave but he didn't know the Hardy wanted privacy when many high stared wrestlers made out in public. Shelton didn't know what Jeff was getting at but he hadn't wanted to be in their personal life after he had to be in their life in a storyline, and in a fake and real relationship with two of the WWE's most "exotic" or "different" wrestler could send any man crazy.

Victoria had turned around after seeing Jeff make his motions and had seen Shelton walking around. She had pushed herself off of Jeff and started walking towards him. He didn't know what she did to Jeff Hardy to have him so freaked out, and he didn't know what she did but he doubted that it was beating and bullying him as worse came to worse, Jeff could just give her an mule kick to the face.

Shelton knew he couldn't dodge her seeing him as she looked directly at him but that didn't stop him from invading her crazy ass. He learned after dealing with crazy groupies and fans that, ignoring people worked better then running away. He had seen the former WWE Champion John Cena and seen his chance to spark up a talk.

"Fall into line John Triton?" Shelton said mimicking a marine as he mocked John who played a Marine in his movie.

"Sir yes sir, what is your command?" John said going along with his game that made Victoria have a pissed look of annoyance.

"Teach me how to cut a decent promo." Shelton said, busting out laughing as John took a minute to understand what he said before joining in laughter.

"Don't stutter anymore and your fine." Cena said sounding like a teacher instead of a marine as Shelton laughed again before he stopped to look at Victoria.

"Was I interrupting anything?" John asked calmly yet a little confused towards Victoria as he seen her angry look.

"No, I'll wait." Victoria replied evilly as both men seen Jeff Hardy motion Shelton to leave before he picked up his bags to go into his room.

"Anything you want?" Shelton asked casually as he refused to be intimidated by a woman.

"Yeah, in…" Victoria started before she was ignored.

"Alright see you later John." Shelton piped as he seen John leave not wanting to interrupt the diva and Shelton.

Shelton totally ignored Victoria as her put her on hold and continued to walk towards his dressing room. He had a match that he was to go over on Rick Flair. Jeff Hardy for some reason not known to Shelton was going to be his manager and he had to manage Jeff that night. No reason was given as talent was told that for promos they would get called out and would have to improvise there lines like the wrestlers in the eighties had to do so that they didn't forget lines or promos.

He had to greet Hardy and make sure that he was good to go as they had a match coming up. Getting near Jeff's Locker Room, Shelton was annoyed when he heard Jeff left and that he had to go out to get ready to cut a promo with him and Victoria.

Walking out to hear his music playing in the background Shelton heard his music playing to cheer from fans for some reason. Running and sliding into the ring Jeff bumped into him with his chest as they both were screamed at by Victoria yelling, "Why are you hear?"

"You're talking about my Intercontinental Title." Shelton replied calmly to the surprise approval of the fans as he took the belt from Victoria and held it up into the air.

"You're belt? You held the title every year since 2004 but not in this year, while I held it twice this year, so you mean my belt." Jeff snapped at Shelton sounding like a Triple H as he snatched the title from Shelton and held it up towards the fans.

"Shut up, it's still my belt." Victoria yelled as she slapped Jeff hard taking her belt back.

Ready to knock her down as he bounced off the roped her stopped as she started to talk on the microphone.

"You even touch me and you are kicked out of the title hunt for this belts new champion." Victoria yelled.

"You see, the tag match was made to see who the most deserving two of the belts contender ship, but according to Mr. McMahon he said that I should instead use the title to reinstate the King of The Ring. Yes the Pay Per View is back and instead of the rounds per show, the winner will have to wrestler three and I mean three matches in one night to say they are deserving of the title, and the match stipulations change every round. You have only one week to get ready for the King of The Ring." Victoria said to the grand applause of the fans.

"That's it?" Shelton asked as Victoria yelled yes before slapping him also to generate a lot of boos.

"Fine then" Shelton said calm and collected before he hit Victoria with a T-Bone Suplex laying her out on the ground.

"You said he couldn't hit you not me." Shelton said over Victoria's laid out body, which got a lot of cheers from the male fans though the kids and woman were quite.

Shaking hands with Jeff Hardy as the both threw the belt on Victoria's body before exiting the ring together going to the back. They now knew that they were going to be in a bad situation by the writers as they weren't suppose to even show aggression and there Jeff was about to hit Victoria and Shelton hit a T-Bone one her. The smart-fuck ass writers likely were pissed off as they immediately came running over to the two in a large group.

"Way to get the crowd hot for you two and the King of The Ring." One writer said out of the blue shocking both men.

"Yeah, at first we were wondering what you guys were doing but it looks like a battle of respect between you two and for the title, but with the ending that you guys had, it'll be interesting to see how you get to fight over Victoria." Stephanie said calmly scaring both wrestlers who asked "What?"

"You have creative control over your angles actions though you still have to follow its rough draft of being over the Title and Victoria's services. If you guys can't do even that then sadly I'll have to release you three as it shows you can't adapt to change, even when it's an opportunity you want and Victoria's push she asked for. So you all better make this look as good as possible and keep the good work ethic up." Stephanie said smoothly as Jeff and Shelton looked at each other.

"Thanks for the motivation and we will keep it coming good." Jeff said as Stephanie smiled towards him as he jogged with a smile to a Shelton who had his head down.

"What is the smile about?" Shelton asked Jeff as Jeff laughed at the situation.

"She won't release us because she still likes me, maybe thinking I'm cute after all the years and her kid but still I'm a looker so who can't resist this?" Jeff said humoring a depressed Shelton as he gave a half serious half joking reply.

"Victoria."

"Oh, she's going to be pissed." Jeff said scratching his head trying to think how to explain the news to her.

"What is the relationship between you two? I always wondered?" Shelton asked as Jeff looked down smiling.

"Let's leave that for a later, I have to get ready to help you beat Flair in your match tonight." Jeff said as Benjamin took a laugh.

"I'm the best all around athlete in this company, you really thing I need help beating the nature boy? Remember I have the moves and the technicality to make it look legit so why would I need help?" Shelton explained as Jeff replied. "You suck at your in ring selling. I beat he'll work over your legs and yet you'll still hit a T-Bone and some crazy, aerial moves that involve jumping high, like a spring board kick off the tope rope." Jeff said as Shelton thought on it.

"Want to wager that?" Shelton asked as yes eagerly replied yes.

"Fine if I sell perfectly you explain what happened tonight after the match of what is going on between you and Victoria." Shelton said as Jeff cringed before replying.

"If you even no sell a single move, then you must go to Stephanie when Hunter is near by and say she looks lovely tonight and how you deserve to be taken out on a date tonight." Jeff replied as Shelton looked crazed.

"I'll job hard as hell if Paul gets jealous." Shelton start, "But ok." Shelton finished fully aware of what could occur.

He and Jeff shook on it as they both seen the stage that they would have to exit through together in front of the crowd. Jumping up and down as he knew he was about to come out soon Shelton looked both ways before walking out in front of the crowd to some cheers and boos, the fans didn't like him but did have respect for him. They massively cheered for Jeff when they seen him literally crawling on the floor in a Purple and Blue make up attire with his hair dye purple and blue. Shelton watched as Jeff got up onto the barricade and stood over some fans that were touching him. Not to be upped on his own entrance Shelton jumped over the guard rail into a bunch of fans who were cheering for him as they patted his back and slapped him hands. Entering from parts of the crowd both men waited in the ring as Flair watched with patience.

"Don't forget, what is he talking about Jr?" King asked at the announce table as Jr. was talking about the cards line up and how it was like a super bowl game that just came to Okalahoma, and how it was an instant sell out and how the fans wanted to leave like they just had the bubble guts from some bad barbeque sauce but had to gut it out and watch to see what would happen. A bunch of ramblings at first but King would have to wait for his reply.

Shelton walked over to face Flair who had his arms open wide and was on the microphone and was about to cut a quick promo on him. "Hey take a shot, I'm no girl like Victoria but if it lets you look strong then go and do it." Flair said to Shelton as he slapped the "Nature Boy" Rick Flair in the mouth.

Shelton was then chopped across the chest that echoed through the stadium. He stumbled back and got another chomp to the chest that echoed one more. Rest him chest on the top turn buckle Shelton was hit by another chop but across the back. He fell to the mid turnbuckle before getting kicked in his lower back.

Backing up Flair ran up and kneed Shelton into the turnbuckle as he felt to the mat and instinctively rolled out of the ring in pain. His back felt cracked and had a large welt going across it which hurt like hell and certainly would be sore in the morning.

Watching Flair get out side of the ring Shelton got into the ring and then stomped onto Flair who tried to enter it. Not to be finished Shelton looked Flair's leg before picking him up by it then slamming in onto the mat. It caused Flair to roll around in pain so Shelton did it once more to generate the same reaction. Taking his time Shelton bounced off of the rope and did a knee drop onto Flair's leg that caused him a great amount of Pain.

Rolling off of the Ground onto his leg Shelton hit a one legged Boston Crab leg hold which caused Flair to scream and scramble before trying to stand. He couldn't land a spin kick as Shelton let go and ducked under it before grabbing the leg again and applying the hold again.

Flair managed to get to his knees and rolled forward which sent Shelton running into the ring ropes. When Shelton came back Flair did a toe trip hold on Shelton before yelling his chant and going for an early finger four. Managing to get to the ropes before the hold got too tight Shelton held on till the four count when Flair let it go.

He had to sell the move as a legit injury so Shelton used the ring ropes to stand up before being kneed off into the barricade. Flair followed in pursuit but Jeff Hardy stepped into guarding over Shelton so Flair couldn't touch him before whispering, "You almost no sold."

Flair entered the as Shelton rolled onto the other side of the ring. He was kicked by Flair who then drug him into the center of the ring. He then started at an attempt to climb from the outside of the ring onto the top robe for some sort of splash. He took too long though as Shelton rushed the turn buckle rapidly and jumped onto the top robe and hit a single leg kick send Flair to the outside of the ring as he then sold the leg injury by holding his leg to the ire of Jeff Hardy.

Using the ring roped to stand Shelton demanded a ladder by Jeff be placed inside the ring to the confusion of the referee. Backing up while holding his leg Shelton ran full speed and spring boarded himself over the Ladder onto Flair who just stood up to the approval of the fans who stood up clapping and screaming for more. Totally wiped out and exhausted Shelton walked toward the Ring as Jeff helped him but soon was struck by a chair shot.

There was another shot that then resulted in a Disqualification in favor of Shelton as he rolled down the ramp way. There stood an angry Victoria who looked angry, likely looking for revenge from earlier that night during her little rant segment. It received a lot of boos from the fans that she interrupted the Benjamin and Flair match but she didn't care as she hit Shelton and Jeff more with the chair before getting pulled back by security.

"You'll get yours, you'll see." Victoria screamed as Shelton and Jeff laid sprawled out in pain as the chair shots were stiff and likely were done to make them feel as much pain possible without injuring them. It worked as Shelton was in the back on a table next to Jeff receiving some medical treatment from the doctors in the back as Shelton talked happily.

"I won." Shelton said as Jeff put his had down muttering "That spring board almost made you lose and no sell."

"Talk." Shelton demanded as Jeff conceded and decided to explain his relation with Victoria.

"Where to start"

"From the beginning." Shelton replied as he also laid his head down in pain.
