Disclaimer: You've heard it before.
Hello again everyone, last time we were here Jason and John reunited (again) and went on to defeat the tag team champions MNM in a non-title match, will they get their shot soon? Will they get one at all? Coming up: Jason and Mara vs. Nitro and Melina!
Here We Go!
Brotherly Hate-Chapter Twenty Nine-Roadblock"What do you mean we can't get a title shot?"
Smackdown, Los Angeles California, Mara's, and ironically MNM's, hometown, and Teddy Long had just given the Cena brothers some bad news.
"C'mon T-Lo" said John. "You're the GM, why can't you give us the shot? We earned it last week".
"I know playa, and that's why this is so embarrassing to explain, you see, recently SOMEBODY…" He shot an accusing glare at Palmer Cannon. "…Decided to make the decision that you could only get a shot at MNM if, one, you beat them in one of their non-title open challenges…"
"That's what we did!" Said Jason, struggling to keep his cool.
"Actually Jason, you beat them in a match I set up, basically they have to make the match, anyway, the second way is if they challenge you to or grant you a shot".
"Then our chance is over before it starts then".
"Not necessarily" came a voice behind them, the brothers turned to see Stacy standing there.
"What, Stacy knows a way we can get a title shot?"
"I do" she replied simply.
"What is it?"
Stacy laughed. "Mara's right, you are a pretty pushy guy when you're angry".
"Hahaha, very funny, now, you were saying?"
"Well I've been here longer than you so I know Melina quite well, and if there's one thing she hates it's losing, so tonight if you and Mara win, you may get an opportunity if she loses it".
"Of course, it's so simple, thanks Stacy, you're a saint regardless of what Hurricane says".
"What does Hurricane say?" Stacy's eyes narrowed dangerously, Jason realised he'd said too much.
"Uhhh, I gotta go… talk strategy with Mara, don't worry, John'll tell ya, later Stacy!"
Jason booked it out of the area; Stacy turned her eyes to John and Teddy.
"Well?"
"So all we have to do is beat Nitro and Melina and you and John get a title shot?"
"Kinda, we have to piss Melina off so she messes up, according to Stacy that is".
"Right, long night ahead then".
"Not really, I don't think we'll have much trouble I mean, we've never lost as a tag-team…"
"We've never tagged together before!"
"Therefore we're undefeated" said Jason as though that settled everything. "Also, I've beaten guys like Shawn and Kurt Angle…"
"Undertaker's not on that list".
"Shut up, anyway I think I can handle Johnny Blaze, Spade, Nitro, whatever he's calling himself now!"
"True".
"Then there's the fact that you're probably the best women's wrestler in WWE right now…"
"You think so?"
"Well, yeah, I mean, no one else can do what you do, Lita comes close, but she keeps hurting herself…"
"Wrestling isn't just flashy moves Jason".
"Says the girl whose brother works for TNA".
"If you actually watched my brothers matches instead of channel flicking as soon as his music hits, you'd see that the only high-risk move he does is the BME, not like AJ who has to pop a flip every time he hits a move".
"Well you got me there" he admitted. "Anyway, I think we got all our bases covered".
"What about Mercury?"
"What about Mercury? He won't be a factor".
"He's gonna be at ringside".
"Not a factor".
"If you say so". John then walked into the room.
"I take it she let you live?" Asked Jason. "You tell her what Hurricane said?"
"I had to, she threatened to make my future love life VERY boring, don't be surprised if they find Hurricane's body in a landfill somewhere".
"Me and Mara were just going over strategy for tonight's match, I think we can get me and you our title shot".
"No problem, until you do though, I'm gonna stay in the singles, just in case".
"Just in case what?"
"Y'know, in case you lose tonight".
"C'mon John, it's Nitro and Melina".
"And Mercury".
"Thank you Mara, and Mercury".
"You never know, I just wanna cover my bases".
"You do that, meanwhile I'll get us our shot, c'mon Mara, we're next".
All three members of MNM were waiting for Jason and Mara as they made their way out, it was obvious the hatred between Melina and Mara hadn't faded during the week, if anything it had got worse. As soon as the two teens got in the ring Mara and Melina went for each other, Jason grabbed Mara while both Mercury and Nitro grabbed their manager, Jason pulled Mara back to their corner.
"I'll start this one, alright?"
"Yeah, O.K. Lookout!" She yelled suddenly, Jason spun round to be met by both male members of MNM, they got some cheap shots in before the referee pulled Mercury away.
"Get out of the ring!"
Mercury took his time getting out allowing Nitro to hit a sneaky knee to Jason's groin while the referee was distracted, he began to put the boots in as the ref called for the opening bell, he picked Jason up and slammed him, followed by an elbow for a two-count, he got Jason back up and hit another slam, then put him in the corner and tried to choke him out, he hit a quick suplex for another two-count and tagged Melina. She slowly got in the ring and taunted Mara, Jason was up to his hands and knees show she ran forward and kicked him in the ribs, knowing the exact point to hit to wind him, he rolled over and tried to get up again but received the sane treatment, followed by a kick to the head, Melina covered but Jason powerfully kicked out before even a two registered sending Melina halfway across the ring.
Melina jumped back up and went for another rib shot but he caught her foot, he stood up and pulled he, hopping on one leg, across to his corner and tagged in Mara, she jumped in and hit the ropes behind Melina, Jason waved bye-bye before spinning her round right into a big clothesline, Mara then opened up with punches to Melina's face and hit a suplex for two, a backbreaker also got two, she picked Melina up again but she the other woman raked her eyes and ran away to tag Nitro, he came across quickly but Mara tagged in Jason before he could reach her.
The two men in the match circled each other before locking up, Jason quickly put on a headlock but Nitro slipped out and sent him off the ropes only to be knocked down with a shoulderblock. The teen hit the ropes again but Nitro went under him, then leapfrogged him, then under him again, he went for another leapfrog but Jason put on the brakes, caught him, and gave him a sit down powerbomb for two, he quickly got up and whipped Nitro into a corner and hit a stinger slash, then a slam, he went for a five-knuckle-shuffle, paused and looked at Melina, made the DX sign, and landed the blow. He picked Nitro up and went for the F-U, but Nitro escaped and went for a clothesline, Jason ducked and caught him with a neckbreaker for another two.
Jason and Mara had huge grins on their faces as they continued to hold the advantage, Jason brought Nitro over and tagged her in, they whipped him and caught him with a double elbow, then a double elbow drop, the referee was allowing some leeway with his five count so they whipped him into a corner, Jason hit him with a clothesline, then dropped to his hands and knees for Mara to hit poetry-in-motion! Nitro staggered out of the corner into a Jason superkick, the referee was at four so he hopped out of the ring, Mara meanwhile adjusted Nitro's position, walked to the corner, and hit the BME! She covered, but Nitro kicked out at two, she quickly tagged Jason back in.
Jason continued to dominate Nitro, he quickly gave him a slam and went to the top-rope and came down with a cross-body for another two, Mercury jumped up to the apron but Jason sent him back down, that moments distraction gave Nitro the opportunity he needed, Jason came across and, with the referee distracted yelling at Mercury for getting involved, gave Jason a low blow followed by a DDT for a two count, with her boy finally on the offensive Melina got a chance to do her screaming routine, getting on Mara's nerves even more than the taunting she was getting from her. Nitro continued working away at Jason and hit a neckbreaker for two, Jason tried to get up but he quickly dropped a leg across his neck for another two, he picked Jason up and hammered away on him in his corner before shoving him down, Mercury jumped up on the apron to distract the referee again allowing Melina to lock on a headscissor while Nitro put the boots in, she let go as the referee turned round and Nitro hit a superkick for another two-count.
Nitro was gaining confidence now and started posing after hitting a move, he slammed Jason and hit an elbow drop, followed by a leg drop, then Mercury made a suggestion.
"F-U!""YEAH!"
Nitro casually picked Jason up and lifted him up onto his shoulders, he went to hit it but the teen slipped off and pushed him towards the corner, he stopped just short of nailing Melina but turned into an impaler from the teen, both Mara and Melina began screaming for tags, Jason crawled to his corner while Nitro pulled himself up using the ropes, Jason managed to get a tag to Mara, she came in to fight but found Nitro standing with his back to her arguing with Melina, as soon as Mara had been tagged in Melina had backed off telling Nitro to keep fighting. While they were arguing Mara came over and dropkicked Nitro in the back of the head, he fell forward and grabbed the ropes for support but in doing so he accidentally slapped Melina's hand, the referee called this a tag and told Melina to get in the ring, before she could do anything Mara came over and pulled her in over the top-rope.
Mara dominated Melina, she hit a couple of clotheslines then gave her a slam, Melina crawled to her corner but Mara came over and whipped her across the ring, she followed up and hit a stinger splash then pulled Melina out of the corner and clotheslined her, she set Melina up and went for the BME but Melina moved, Mara landed on her feet and ran forward to be met with an elbow, Melina went for a clothesline but Mara ducked, spun Melina round and hit the Angels Wings! She covered, but Mercury pulled her out of the ring at two, he got right up in her face and she rewarded him with a kick to the groin, Nitro grabbed he by the arm and got the same treatment, she smiled as she watched the two men writhe in pain, then heard a shout from behind her.
"Mara! MOVE!"
She looked over her shoulder, then dived to one side as Jason came flying over the ropes headfirst! He took out both Mercury and Nitro but hit his head hard on the crowd wall, Mara went to go help him but heard the referee's count was up to eight and went to get in the ring. As she stuck her head between the second and third ropes Melina ran forward and dropped a leg across hit causing her head to whiplash back, she managed to stay on the apron, Melina came over and suplexed her back in for a two-count, she picked Mara up and began slapping her face.
"Come on Daniels! That all you got?"
She booted Mara in the stomach and set her up for the Angels Wings but the teen slipped out and lifted her up onto her shoulders, she walked out to the middle of the ring and landed the F-U! She covered, and got the three! Almost immediately she went to help Jason, he was up to his knees but had a dazed expression on his face.
"Did we win?"
"Why else would your music be playing?"
"Oh good, what did you win with?"
"The F-U".
"That's my move!"
"Yeah, but you know the saying, what's yours is mine".
Jason laughed then staggered sideways causing Mara to grab him to keep him up, the two teens headed backstage leaving an irate Melina with her team.
Later, once the teens had changed and Jason had cleared his head, he dunked it in a sink of cold water, Mara was packing her ring gear away and Jason was watching he Boogeyman take on newcomer Kid Kash, Jason always watched Boogeyman's matches, Mara teased him by saying he was infatuated by him, really he was just intrigued by the fact that nothing seemed to hurt the crazy guy, kinda like the Undertaker except with less ability, and more worms. Kash threw everything at the Boogeyman but once again he shrugged it off and choke-bombed him for the win, he went to celebrate with the worms but MNM came in an jumped him, he valiantly tried to fight them off but went down to not one, but two snapshots.
"Whoa!" Laughed Jason. "They actually hurt him!"
"What do they want now?" Sighed Mara, as Melina grabbed a mic, Jason took on look at her face and covered his ears.
"Oh God! She's gonna start screaming!" Sure enough…
"Daniels! You little BITCH! Get your ass out here NOW!"
"You going?"
"Of course, you coming?"
"Why not?"
The two made their way through the backstage area as Melina continued to call her out, she was screaming so loud that they could hear her voice from the sound system even though they were away from monitors. As they walked through the sound area Mara grabbed a mic.
"Did someone call?"
"YOU! You've done it now Daniels! No one, NO ONE! Humiliates MNM and gets away with it, next week me and you one-on-one…"
"I accept!"
Melina laughed. "Once again you didn't let me finish, next week in Manchester New Hampshire, you and me… Bra and panties match!"
The crowd liked it but Jason didn't, Mara NEVER did anything that resulted in showing off her body to a large crowd, firstly because her parents, and Chris, would kill her, secondly because Mara herself was disgusted by the idea of losing her clothes in front of several thousand people, she was a wrestler first and foremost, not a stripper, Jason remembered when he once suggested it to her on the Indies, his jaw still hurt from the slap he had received, he was shocked therefore, to see Mara mulling it over.
"What's the matter?" Asked Melina. "Scared of being humiliated on national TV?"
"Let me ask you something Melina, how bad do you want this match?"
"What?"
"You see, anyone who knows me knows that I HATE bra and panties matches, so if I'm gonna put my dignity on the line then you better put something up as well".
"Anything, just name it".
"Anything?"
"Anything!"
"O.K. then, if, no sorry, WHEN I humiliate you next week, your buys have to give Jason and John a tag title match at No Mercy!"
Mercury and Nitro saw where this was headed and immediately tried to talk Melina out of accepting, she rounded on them.
"What? You don't think I can beat her?" She returned her attention to Mara. "You have a deal!"
"Good, I'll see you next week BITCH!"
She dropped the mic, Jason used this as a chance to talk to her.
"You're actually gonna do this just to get me and John a title shot?"
"More or less".
"Mara, what about your parents? Or Chris? Their in the crowd right…"
"Jason, all I want right now is to humiliate Melina, if Mom, Dad and Christopher don't like it, tough!"
She walked through the curtain, Jason went to follow but saw a camera on him.
"If there's anyone in New Hampshire watching, you better have the state police on stand by".
End of Chapter.
Hmmm, you know I'm starting to think this is a bad idea? Oh well, next time: Mara meets Melina in a bra and panties match to see if Jason and John will get a title shot, will she win? Or be humiliated? Find out next time!
