Welcome back. Last time Jason and Shawn each won tune-up matches for Summerslam before they, along with John, were left lying by the cabinet. Will they get revenge on the final Smackdown before Summerslam? Let's find out.

Here We Go!

Brotherly Hate-Chapter Eighteen

The Cena brother's arrived for Smackdown with revenge on their minds, with just three days left before Summerslam neither could afford an injury but neither would their pride allow them to let the cabinet walk away from this. The two were seated in their locker room waiting for the show to start, if they knew JBL he would be bragging about what he did at the earliest opportunity. Jason was especially pissed off, the chair shot JBL had laid him out with had left a nasty cut on his forehead, it hadn't needed stitches, but he still had it covered as it hadn't fully healed yet. He slowly ran his fingers over the small plaster and frowned, he was going to make JBL pay big time for this. The brother's heads snapped up as the door opened and Shawn Michaels walked in.

"It's polite to knock ya know" said Jason with a smirk.

"Very funny, anyway. Are you two gonna do somethin' about the cabinet?"

"Of course we are, why?" Asked John.

"Cause if you are then I wanna piece of the action as well".

"Oh good" said Jason sarcastically. "Now it's only four on three".

"No need for that kid" replied John. "Remember me and you kicked their asses on our own".

"Yeah, but I'm injured" he pointed at the cut. "Your ribs are screwed and… " He trailed off as he looked at Shawn. "Well he's the only healthy one here so… " He trailed off again.

"What?" Asked Shawn.

"I got an idea" he stood to leave. "You two go out there if the cabinet start mouthing off, I probably won't be back before then"

Before anyone could speak he took off.

As soon as the show started JBL led his cabinet to the ring, the grin on his face seemed to be stuck there, they entered the ring and JBL began to speak.

"Thank you for your applause" he began, oblivious to the boo's that rained down on him. "Last week was a monumental event for me and my cabinet, Orlando retained his US title against Rey Mysterio, Doug and Danny overcame two little punks in The Mexicools and I… well, I put the icing on the cake, I laid out not one, not two, but three of the most popular superstars on Smackdown all by myself. Shawn Michaels, that little thug Jason Cena, who smashed the windows on my limousine don't think I won't make him pay for that, and of course, the so-called WWE champion John Cena. Cena, you better hold and cherish that belt for the next three days because JBL is going back on top. Ladies and Gentlemen, you are looking at the next WWE champion, John 'Bradshaw' Layfield, THE WRESTLING… GOD!"

As JBL finished John's music hit and he and Shawn made their way down to ringside, JBL was surprised but quickly recovered to continue his rant.

"Hey there champ! How's it going?" John was struggling to keep his composure. "… Oh you brought Shawn as well, what the little thug at home trying to get the pieces of steel out of his hair?"

"Actually I'm right here" said Jason stepping through the curtain. "Hey JBL, remember me? The guy who beat your ass at the Great American Bash!"

JBL lost it. "That was a fluke and you know it! You will never in a million years conjure up another miracle like that! You will…"

"You know, I could sit up here and listen to what you have to say or, based on what happened last week, Me, John and Shawn could come down there and beat your ass!"

"You want a piece of me? Come and get it!"

Jason started to come down the aisle but stopped. "Oh, I almost forgot, seeing as how you have your friends out here with you, I decided to bring a few of my own"

He gestured to the ramp as half of the roster made their way out to the aisle. Viscera, Finlay, Scotty, Funaki, Regal, Birchill, The Mexicools, Spanky and some guy called Mike something who had been hanging around with Spanky when Jason had asked him and invited himself along, throwing in a "Hoo-rah!" as he did. "They'll let anyone work here" Jason had thought as he reluctantly agreed to let him come along. The group surrounded the ring trapping the cabinet inside.

"Well JBL" began Jason. "Let's see how YOU like being outnumbered".

With that the group charged the ring and attacked the cabinet. Orlando, Doug and Danny were quickly thrown out before everyone took turns beating on JBL. After a while the group left the ring leaving JBL alone with John, the older Cena began pounding on JBL with right hands while everyone else held the cabinet at bay, John picked JBL up and dropped him with the F-U before standing over him in triumph.

Teddy Long sat in the office he was being forced to share with Palmer Cannon (A.N. Poor guy, another victim of JBL's bullying) the network rep was ranting something about Smackdown's ratings since John Cena had become champion. He was just about to tell Cannon to shut up when the office door burst open and all four members of the cabinet marched in.

"Can I help you Gentlemen?"

JBL spoke for the group. "Did you see what just happened out there? Me and my cabinet just suffered and unprovoked attack by a bunch of your superstars! There was thirteen of them and only four of us, so what are you gonna do about it?"

Cannon had been nodding non-stop since JBL had begun and decided to add his opinion.

"I agree Teddy, the network does not approve of the treatment that these men suffered, then again when you hire someone like 'The Miz' this kind of street mentality is to be expected…"

Teddy held up a hand. "Palmer you're right, there is no room on Smackdown for superstars who attack outnumbered opponents, so you'll agree when I say the cabinets actions last week were also a bad influence on the network".

Cannon opened his mouth to retort but bit his lip as Teddy continued.

"Now JBL you asked if I'm gonna do something about what happened well tonight, in the main-event, your cabinet is gonna face the three superstars who instigated the action tonight, that being Shawn Michaels, his Summerslam opponent Jason Cena and the WWE champion John Cena in a six man tag match!" The cabinet looked nervous, JBL however smiled.

"No problem, these guys take out Cena, I get the night off…"

"Actually JBL you don't get the night off, tonight you will have a one-on-one match with one of the superstars who attacked you earlier".

"Are you at least gonna tell me which one?"

"Yeah why not? Let's see…" he measured JBL up to the rest of the cabinet. "… You seen to be the largest member of your cabinet so it's only fair that you face the largest superstar who attacked you".

"Oh no" moaned JBL, already knowing what was coming.

"That's right playa, tonight you are gonna face Viscera!"

"C'mon Teddy" pleaded JBL. "Isn't that guy 'The Miz' debuting tonight? Who better to face than me?"

"Sorry JBL, the match is on!"

JBL quickly came up with a list of excuses. "I was just attacked, I have a title match in three days! I…"

"John Cena also has a title match in three days, he also is injured, although he will be at a hundred per-cent at Summerslam so the match. Is. On!"

JBL stared at Teddy in anger but left the room.

Meanwhile, back in the champ's locker room Jason, John and Shawn were going over strategy for the match when John suddenly said he had 'business' to take care of and left leaving Jason and Shawn alone. There was a brief silence between the two before…

"Three days to go" muttered Shawn. "Nerves kickin' in yet kid?"

"No, well, not really".

"Not really?"

"Well, I'm worried, but at the same time I'm not, does that make sense?"

"Kid, you don't make sense at the best of times!"

Jason laughed. "Well, you're right, three days, three days until I find out whether or not I'm in the same league as HBK"

"Or three days until HBK knocks all your teeth out!"

"We'll just have to find out won't we?"

"Indeed we will kid, indeed we will".

Meanwhile John was now seated at the announce table with Cole and Tazz waiting for the JBL vs. Viscera match to start, JBL was in the ring and Big Vis was just arriving, as soon as the big man entered the ring JBL jumped him and began laying in the punches and kicks, he followed it up with a swinging neckbreaker for a two-count. JBL backed Vis into the corner and tried to whip him but the big man stood firm, he tried again and actually moved Viscera but the whip was countered, Viscera followed up with a splash in the corner and a Samoan drop for two, Vis picked JBL up and hit a belly-to-belly suplex followed by a sidewalk slam for another two count. Viscera tried to end it with a choke-bomb but JBL raked his eyes and tried a slam but only succeeded in dropping Viscera on top of himself for two again, the big man picked JBL up and slammed him before attempting a big-splash but JBL moved. The cabinet leader tried to follow up with the Clothesline-From-Hell but Viscera ducked and hit the choke-bomb for yet another two. Vis went to land another splash in the corner but JBL moved and hit the Clothesline-From-Hell, knowing this was not enough he picked Vis up and hit another for good measure, he covered and got the three count. Almost immediately John was on him opening up with punches until referees from the back came out to stop him.

Later in the night the two Cena's, along with Shawn and Mara, made their way to the ring for their match. The cabinet was in the ring and JBL was on commentary. As soon as the group entered the ring they were jumped by their opponents starting a six-way brawl to kick thing off, Shawn and Jason quickly gained control over the Bashams and took them to the outside while John and Orlando exchanged punches but John gained the advantage and sent Orlando to the corner following with a big clothesline as he came out. He went for the F-U early but suddenly dropped Orlando and fell to the ground holding his ribs in pain, Orlando immediately took advantage by laying in the boots before Jason came back in to run him off. Jason crouched next to John who seemed to be in extreme pain and was having trouble breathing, the referee came over, took one look at John and called for assistance, two more referees came out and helped John out of the ring to the back, Jason went to follow but Shawn stopped him.

"Kid the referee says the match has to continue so you gotta stay".

Jason didn't reply but went to leave again, once again Shawn stopped him.

"Look, I know you wanna help, but if you leave I'm gonna be on my own…"

"So I suppose you want me to choose you over my brother do you?"

Before Shawn could reply the Bashams and Orlando came in and jumped the two from behind sending Shawn to the outside and leaving Jason open to a triple-team. For the next ten minutes all three cabinet members proceeded to try and destroy Jason with triple-teams and illegal tactics, whenever there was the slightest chance that Jason could tag out someone else would come in to prevent it. Finally Jason managed to send Doug and Danny to the outside and dropped Orlando with the impaler, he began to crawl across the ring but Doug and Danny pulled Shawn off the apron and began to double-team him on the outside, Jason was by now running on instinct and continued to crawl to the corner despite not having anyone to tag in.

Suddenly John came running back to the ring and hopped up to the apron, Jason, unable to tell who it was, dived across the ring and made the tag. John slowly got into the ring and stared down Orlando. The cabinet member stared at John in shock, then laughed.

"You gotta be kidding me, you don't know when to quit do you? C'mon then, if you're so tough then slam me!"

John hesitated as he thought over Orlando's challenge, then suddenly stepped forward and slammed Orlando with ease, Doug came in and received a suplex, Danny likewise received a powerbomb. Orlando got back up and fell victim to another slam followed by the five-knuckle-shuffle, John called for the F-U as JBL came in with a chair only to be cut off with a spear by Jason. John lifted Orlando up and walked back to the centre of the ring, Doug and Danny came back but were cut off with simultaneous superkicks by Jason and Shawn. John landed the F-U and got the three.

As the trio celebrated Jason grabbed John and spun him round to face him.

"What happened to the inju…" He stopped as he saw John's face. "You faked it!"

"Milked it, not faked it".

"So I just took an ass kicking for nothing?"

John shrugged.

"And I spent the whole of the past week doing everything at home for nothing as well?"

"I needed a break".

John, you are without a shadow of a doubt, a sneaky, demented, evil… genius!"

John smirked. "I am what I am and I do what I do".

Jason turned and found Shawn up in his face, the two stared at each other then Shawn held up three fingers, Jason repeated the gesture and the two laughed as they stared each other down.

Well the road to Summerslam is over, will Jason beat Shawn? Will John keep his title? Find out next time and, just to show how nice I am, here's a sneak peak.

… Jason continued to throw a fit outside the ring. What more did he have to do? He grabbed Tony Chimel to the floor and grabbed his chair, as he climbed back into the ring he stopped on the apron, he stared at Shawn, still out on the mat, then back to the chair and a grin slowly formed on his face…
