Chapter 5: Miiiiisssssttteeerr Impact…Impact

I had a two hour flight and I eventually arrived but I was mobbed by some people who had seen me last week Perks of being a WWE superstar I thought to myself and I was signing autographs and getting my picture taken with fans. I managed to leave quick and grab a cab down to the hotel where I was staying and checked myself in and took the elevator up. But as I did another guy was next to me and I could not believe it, Mr.Kennedy himself, my opponent tomorrow was right next to me and I don't think he had a clue who I was and that I will be facing him on Raw tomorrow. He had a glance at me and eventually realised who I was.

"Sooo I guess in saying you are that guy who beat that midget last week on SmackDown!, well let me just tell you now, you may think you are the future but in fact the future is staring you in the face and that future's name is MMMMIIISSTTTERRR K…"

I interrupted him and he looked a little shocked but annoyed I did.

"I know your name you say it every night KEN but if you really wanna know what the future will be? Your looking at him and the guy who is gonna beat you on Raw and prove why SmackDown! Is better than Raw because I am Xander Cage, and you will never forget my name." I said

But as I was about to get off Kennedy decided to send a message to me by his usual tactics, he attacked me from behind and said, "No, no ,no, NO!!! the name you will never forget is KENNEDY!!!" he said and left me there.

I got up and thought about going after him but I let it slide and wait till tomorrow to get payback. I found my room and unpacked ready for the week as I would be on both Raw and SmackDown! This week and having that attack by Kennedy just fired me up even more for our match. I wanted to take my mind off of it for a few hours so I hanged into better clothes and headed down to the hotel bar for a while. I took the elevator down and I went towards the bar and ordered a beer but as I was waiting another person has just entered and sat down right next to me so I decided to not take notice until I looked at the person, it was Raw superstar Cody Rhodes and it looked like he is also looking ready to fight.

"Beer please, hey man don't you look familiar?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm Xander Cage SmackDown's newest talent." I said.

"Oh you're the new guy, I heard your on Raw tomorrow night against Mr. Kennedy, well I hope you beat him cause my debut on Raw didn't go so well." he said.

"When your opponents is Randy Orton, is your dad ok after what he did?" I asked.

"Yeah he's fine doing much better but still I want revenge for what he did." he said.

"You'll get your chance soon, and anyway, what do you know about Mr. Kennedy?" I asked.

"Well arrogant, cocky, loves himself, loudmouth, sneaky and not a nice guy I mean he did beat 8 former world champions and win Money in the Bank at Wrestlemania last year and even put Lashley on the shelf, you need to be careful of him, just make sure you keep him down ok?" he said.

"I will thanks and also thanks for the advice man I really needed it." I said.

" No problem, after all us rookies need to stick together. He said.

"Yeah I guess so." I laughed.

We spent the rest of the night drinking and talking with one another and also getting to know one another. We decided to call it a night after a few hours cos we both had to be on Raw and I had an important match to prepare for so we said our goodbyes and I headed back to my room and slept.

I woke up the next morning early got washed and dressed for my routine training, I got my gear took the elevator down and I headed to the gym across the hall and I proceeded to the weights to begin my reps, now as I re-called I can't do my upside down pushups with the weight because of the amount of attention got so I decided to do that later when I was alone so I began my 50 reps on my arms and my legs, I did normal situps, pushups, power jumping and perfecting my striking technique. After all that I went for a quick jog round the hotel grounds I did about 10 laps around, but I needed to relax after all that cause the show would be on soon and I needed to be ready when I arrive and compete, plus I wanted to show everyone another finisher I have, that I'm ready to display.

LATER THAT NIGHT

"Welcome to Monday night Raw!!! I'm JR Jim Ross and I'm here with Jerry "The King" Lawler, and folks do we have a match to kick things off on Raw tonight."

"That's right JR tonight the new acquisition from SmackDown! Xander Cage will be in action against Mr.Kennedy."

Kennedy's entrance hit and I was hearing it but I waited till I was announced, but as I waited Kennedy grabbed his mike and was about to talk.

"Ladies and Gentleman tonight you will see MMMMIIISSSTTTEEERRR KENNEDY in action against a new and upcoming talent who has no chance in hell of beating me or ever making a name for himself, because he is some guy who wants to be KENNEDY!!!!!"

I'm gonna kick your ass all over Connecticut tonight loudmouth and when I'm done then we will see who wants to be who!!!

As my entrance hit I came out with a look of determination on my face but I still greeted the fans like always and was headed to the ring when he started talking again.

"And making his way to the ring from a city which probably has more idiots and transvestites and cousins who marry each other and that his parents are as well, Whatshis name!!! Whatshisna….. I ran in and punched him in the mouth shutting him up which got the crowd fired up.

The bell rang we began with me hitting him with strikes to the head and upper body then tripping him and beating on him but he slid out of the ring and I decided to fly ran back and then over the top rope into him and it paid off but as we got up he tripped me into the steel steps and stunned me for a little until he resorted to his cheating ways and he took control like that but after nearly getting the pin with an inside cradle he went on the attack again but I countered with my split legged duck with a kick which caught him and sent him down, and I did the repeated kicks to the head and body followed with punches then nailed him with my suplex combo I went up to the top turnbuckle Here we go I went through the air and landed the shooting star leg drop which led to 1 2 3!!! wow my week keeps getting better first Noble, now Mr. Kennedy!!! I thought to myself until I was attacked from behind by Noble, him and Kennedy began a beat down until I got unexpected help, it was Cody and we teamed up and threw them both out if the ring and we were standing tall and I shook his hand and raised it.

After that Cody caught up to me and said, "Hey man look I told you us rookies need to stick together." he said.

"Yeah your right and thanks for helping me tonight, if you ever need a favour just ask." I said.

"Ok I'll keep it in mind." he said.

I said goodbye and left back to the hotel, I was about to sit down when my cell went off, I checked the caller ID it was Brett "Hey dud we saw your match man, wow you are as good as you say and that manoeuvre picture perfect, and now after seeing Noble again we need to teach him a lesson this Friday night. He said

"Yeah I can't wait now till then and at No Mercy he will be having his Judgement Day." I said.

"Ok dude we will see you Friday man, talk soon." he said and hung up.

I got a second call from Ashley so I answered.

"Hey you!!! I saw your match, you really are here to make an impact wherever you go, and when Kennedy started trash talking about you, you did something no-one has done yet, shut his mouth and then you beat him with that awesome new finisher, what do you call it?" she asked.

"I call it X marks the spot, as you saw a modified leg drop but more effective as you saw." I said.

"I saw how Noble surprised you and him and Kennedy attacked you, but thank god for Cody, why did he come out to help you?" she asked.

"We became friends the night before and I guess as he told me rookies need to stick together." I said.

"Guess he was right but still Noble has stirred himself more trouble with you and I guess your tag match with him has gotten even better." she said.

"So I guess we will be seeing each other on Friday?" I said.

"Yeah I guess I will see you then." she said.

"Oh and if you need me for last minute advice on your match please don't hesitate to ask, ok?" I said.

" I will Xander and thanks again I'll see you Friday, bye!!!" She said and hung up.

Well just another day and another impact made.
