Wassup? Welcome back everyone! It's Wrestlemania time baby! Jason vs. John, who will win? Will this be the end of the career of one of the Cena brothers? Let's Find Out!
Here We Go!
Brotherly Hate-Chapter Sixty Two-Brother vs. BrotherWrestlemania 22, the biggest spectacle in sports entertainment, Chicago Illinois had been buzzing all day as fans from all around the country flocked to the arena, and they weren't the only ones. Superstars from both RAW, Smackdown and ECW were all preparing in their own way for the event, the GM's were also feeling the nerves, they all hoped that their show could put on a better show than the other. Teddy Long was pacing in his office, for once he didn't have to share with Palmer Cannon, he should have been enjoying his short-lived privacy but his mind was on the Smackdown card for the event. Rey Mysterio was going to try and take the WWE title for the first time in the main-event, Finlay, Lashley and Matt Hardy representing his show in the interpromotional 'Money In The Bank' ladder match, The Undertaker was facing The Great Khali in a casket match, Chris Benoit was defending his US title against Ken Kennedy, Christian and Tomko out their tag titles up against MNM and Carlito and Masters, the cruiserweight title was on the line, Shawn Michaels was facing ECW's Kurt Angle in a rematch from the previous Wrestlemania, and of course there was the Cena brothers, in less than a year they had gone from partners to tag champs to assholes to this. He sighed, for the past two days he'd had people coming up to him and questioning if it was wise to put them in the ring considering Jason's state of mind, he was starting to wonder the same thing, he'd had Jason watched since he arrived and from what he could gather the teen was teetering on the edge of losing it, there was a danger of him seriously injuring his brother, admittedly John deserved it but he'd rather it happened somewhere else than Wrestlemania, he shook his head, he had a really, REALLY bad feeling about tonight.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In his locker room Jason paced back and forth waiting for his match, he had been dressed to compete from the moment he woke up, he had barely spoken since Friday and had spent most of his time in Chicago alone, he couldn't shake the image, or his perceived image, of John putting his hands on Mara, every time he closed his eyes he saw it, and every time he did, he got angrier. It was one thing to betray him, but for John to put his hands on Mara was basically him signing his professional death warrant, John had said he was sending Jason to hell tonight, obviously on-one had told him that Jason was already there, he was ready for the match, he was going to maim John and take pleasure in doing it.
"You know if you keep doing that you can dig your own trench".
Jason didn't reply to Shawn's remark, his friend had been like that since Friday, trying to get him to lighten up, it hadn't worked but he appreciated it, Mara had also tried to calm him down, to be honest he wanted to keep himself pissed off, if he was like this then he wouldn't have a problem with some of the things he was going to do, Mara spoke up.
"You OK?"
He nodded.
"You can talk to me Jason".
"I know".
"It speaks!" Gasped Shawn, Jason allowed himself a small grin.
"It speaks alright, it's getting it to shut up that's the problem".
Shawn and Mara laughed, Jason just went back to pacing, Mara put a hand on his shoulder.
"You sure you're OK?"
"I will be when this is over".
She nodded sadly, he spoke again.
"I've been thinking, maybe you shouldn't go out there with me tonight".
"What? Why?"
"Because I don't really like the idea of you being at ringside when me and my brother are trying to kill each other, he may go after you".
"I'm not afraid of him, and I WILL be at ringside for this!"
"But…"
"No buts Jason, I've been with you since day one and I'm not going to stop now, especially not tonight, there's no way I'm letting you go this alone, alright?"
He smiled and hugged her. "Thanks for sticking by me".
"Someone had to, thanks for letting me".
Shawn smirked to himself and went back to mentally preparing himself for Angle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In another part of the arena John Cena sat in silence with an ominous grin on his face, the minutes until his match with Jason were ticking away, a few days ago he would have dreaded these minutes, now he couldn't wait for them to pass so he could finally put an end to Jason, he still felt a little uneasy due to Jason's ability to seemingly get up from any beating he gave him but hey, it was Wrestlemania and once the bell rang he'd have the kid all to himself, he was kinda thankful that is wasn't no DQ, the idea of a mentally unstable teenager given permission to use whatever weapons he could get his hands on didn't really appeal to him, this way it was straight up brawling, no weapons, just a fight, a fight he would win. He hopped to his feet and started heading to the entrance, pausing for a moment to make sure the chain was in his back pocket.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the locker room, Jason suddenly stood up.
"It's time" he said.
"Good luck kid" said Shawn, standing up, they slapped hands then Shawn pulled him into a hug.
"Be careful out there kid".
"You know me Shawn, I'm always careful".
Shawn smiled, Jason returned it then led Mara out of the locker room only o crash right into Josh Mathews.
"Jason, do you have anything to say about what the people can expect to see in your match with John?"
Jason stared down Josh, then looked into the camera and said just one word.
"Pain".
He then turned away and headed to the entranceway, on his way he heard someone coming up behind him, he spun round thinking it might have been John trying to sneak attack him but instead found himself facing the World Heavyweight champion Randy Orton. The two stared at each other for a moment before Randy held out his hand.
"Good luck".
Jason nodded and shook it before heading off, he walked past all the sound technicians and stopped at the curtain, as he waited for his music to hit Mara pulled him towards her and kissed him.
"For luck" she said in response to his confused look, before he could respond the DX music hit and the crowd reaction was loud enough to drown out anything he could have said, he just smiled, waited for the music to reach the right part, then marched through the curtain.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If this were any other day then Jason would have been stunned by the crowd reaction he received, everywhere in the arena the people were standing, he didn't even register it, he just went straight for the ring, he waved away the pyro's and just stood and waited for John. His music stopped and silence fell across the arena, it stayed that way for almost a minute, John was obviously trying some last minute mind games, then his music hit and he came out onto the stage, the sight if him immediately set Jason off and he dived out of the ring and sprinted up the ramp! John had the same idea and they met each other halfway, they brawled it out and Jason gained an advantage and began backing John up the ramp, all of his rage went into each punch as he tried to drive his fist through John's jaw, the older Cena managed to hit a knee to Jason's stomach and started to hammer away with punches of his own but Jason shook them off and tackled him into the metal wall of the entranceway, he hit a few more punches then knocked John back through the curtain, he followed and the two exchanged punches as sound technicians and agents all ran for cover, Jason gained the upper hand in the brawl again and knocked John back into a table, he started forward but John suddenly stood up and smacked him in the face with a monitor! Jason went down and John began pounding him with punches and kicks, he dragged him out through the curtain then picked him up and tried to throw him into the metal wall but Jason blocked it and slammed him into it instead, John reeled away and Jason grabbed him before slamming his head into it again, he lifted John up to his shoulders and tried to run him into it but John slipped off and pushed him into it then suplexed him on the metal stage.
The referee tried to persuade John to take it to the ring but John shrugged it off before mounting Jason and punching him in the face repeatedly, he picked Jason up and hit a big right hand that had the teen reeling, he hit another which left Jason teetering on the edge of the stage, he started forward but Jason dodged and began hitting punches of his own, John was dangerously close to falling but forced himself to stay upright, Jason went for a big right hand but John ducked and lifted him up for an F-U! He walked over to the edge but before he could drop him Jason slipped out and hit a superkick! John went down but just managed to stop himself falling, the referee tried to reason with Jason but the teen gave him a look that had him backing away as far as he could, this allowed John to roll off the stage to the floor, he walked away from the edge to catch his breath, thinking that Jason would have to climb down to get him, but Jason just ran forward and dived off the stage head-first! He flipped in mid-air and crashed down onto his brother! They lay dazed for a few seconds then Jason hopped to his feet and began stomping away on John, he picked his brother up then ran him into the crowd barrier and hammering him down to his knees, he walked away then came back with a metal 'Keep Off!' sign, he went to hit John but the older Cena grabbed a fire extinguisher and sprayed it into his face! Jason dropped the sign and covered his face panicking as he thought the extinguisher had blinded him again, he opened his eyes and sighed with relief that he could still see, the relief was short lived as John took advantage of his distraction and smacked him round the head with the extinguisher!
John smirked and dropped the extinguisher, he picked his brother up and punched away at him, his smirk getting bigger when he saw the blood flowing from the reopened cut on his forehead, he whipped his brother into the crowd barrier then clotheslined him over it, he followed and threw more punches as Jason tried to fight his way back up, John picked the teen up then slammed his head into the wall that held the raised seating above the floor seats, he slammed Jason's face into it again and again until there was a large blood stain on it, he slammed Jason into it one last time and let him slide to the floor leaving a trail of blood down the wall, he smirked then gave Jason a few more punches the dug his fingers into the cut trying to rip it open some more. He walked away and grabbed one of the fans chairs, he ran forward and swung for Jason's head but the teen ducked and he hit the wall, he dropped the chair and Jason gave him a right hand before picking up the chair and smacking him across the back with it, John dropped to his knees and Jason threw the chair at him, John caught it but Jason ran forward and dropkicked it into his face! John went down and Jason picked up the chair and leg-dropped it into his face again. The teen climbed to his feet and wiped some of the blood away before hitting John with some more punches as he got up, a fan suddenly got his attention and offered him a replica belt, Jason took it and smacked John with it before tossing it back to the fan.
The teen continued to beat on John before running him backwards into the wall, he then set up another chair and used it to hit a stinger splash sandwiching his brother between him and the wall, he grabbed a trash can and hit John with it before emptying its contents and putting it over his head, he then grabbed the chair and smashed the trash can with it! John went down and Jason repeatedly hit the can with the chair! He pulled John out of the can before picking him up and whipping him towards a flight of stairs, John stopped himself from hitting them and started to climb up towards the rest of the arena, Jason chased after him and caught up just as he reached the stands, they brawled in front of the front row, a metal guard rail was all that was separating them from a ten foot drop onto concrete. John raked Jason's eyes causing him to reel away, John charged forward but Jason ducked and hoisted him up onto his shoulders for the F-U! John grabbed the rail and managed to fight out of it, he pushed Jason away but the teen charged him again only to be met with a backdrop! He went over the rail but managed to stop himself before he fell and pulled himself up to the narrow ledge, the two brothers exchanged punches before Jason kicked John's ribs and tried to suplex him over! He lifted John but the older Cena managed to counter it into one of his own, Jason slipped out and began punching away at his brother until they reached the stairs, he went for another right hand but John ducked and tackled him down the stairs! The two brothers tumbled all the way down to the bottom then lay still.
The two brothers lay unmoving at the bottom of the stairs, the referee and Mara hopped the barrier at ringside and ran over to check on them, just as the referee was about to call for EMT's the two began stirring, John was up first and stomped his brother a few times before picking him up and whipping him towards the crowd barrier, Jason reversed it and sent his brother back-first into the barrier before charging only for John to powerslam him over it! Jason landed hard on the floor at ringside as John hopped the barrier, picked him up and threw him into the steel steps, Jason impacted them so hard he knocked them off their hinges, John stomped away at him before picking up the steps, he waited for the teen to stand before running forward and smashing him in the face! He dropped the steps to one side then turned his attention to dismantling one of the announce tables, he noticed Jason getting up and went to whip him into the barrier again but Jason jumped onto it, John started forward, thinking Jason was going for a flying clothesline but the teen back-flipped over him and hit a reverse DDT onto the concrete floor! The teen slowly got up and finished taking apart the table, he waited for John to get up before hitting him in the head with a monitor! He then picked him up and rolled him onto the table, grinning as he realised he had busted his brother open as well, he hit a few right hands before walking away and rolling into the ring. He glances at the top-rope, then at John… and grinned before climbing to the top-rope! He stood up, glanced towards the sky, took a deep breath and jumped! He flew through the air but just before impact John moved! Jason smashed through the table and curled into a ball holding his ribs in pain, John wasted little time in picking him up and rolling him into the ring as the referee called for the bell to BEGIN the match.
John immediately went for a cover after the bell but Jason kicked out at two, John smirked then picked the teen up, Jason's legs could barely hold him up as John whipped him, he hit the corner hard then dropped on his face, John picked him up and did it again before hitting a back suplex for another two-count. The older Cena then dragged his younger brother to his feet and hit a right hand, there was no real power in it but Jason's legs crumpled beneath him, John looked surprised then picked the teen up and hit him even lighter but he again dropped to the mat, John exchanged a look with the referee who just muttered "That's it" and went to ring the bell but John grabbed him.
"No".
"He's had enough!"
"You ring that bell before I pin him or make him submit and I'll kill you" replied John simply, the referee glared at him but before he could say anything back they were both surprised by Jason's voice.
"That all you got bro'?"
John spun round and laughed as he saw Jason pulling himself up to his feet, he ran forward and began hammering away on Jason again, he pulled him out of the corner and lifted him up for a suplex, he held Jason up there for several seconds before hitting it and rolling into a pin for another two-count, Jason rolled to his hands and knees but before he could get up John ran forward and kicked him in the head, he then pounded away on Jason's head for a few moments before ripping Jason's shirt off and taking off his belt then he started whipping Jason with it, he threw Jason into the corner and punched him down before choking him with the belt, the referee tried to pull him off but John just gave him a look that made him back off, he went to hit Jason with the belt again but Jason kicked him away, he started forward again but Jason kicked him again causing him to drop the belt, Jason picked it up and began whipping John with it! The older Cena retreated to a corner but Jason followed and whipped him across the chest with it, the referee came in and took it allowing John to elbow out of the corner and hit the throwback, he covered Jason but the teen kicked out at two again.
Both brothers were feeling the affects now, Jason's face was completely crimson with blood while John was also bleeding quite heavily as well, John picked the teen up and hit the spinout powerbomb, he then stood over him and called for the Five-Knuckle-Shuffle and hit it before calling for the F-U, he lifted Jason up but the teen had enough left in him to grab the ropes, John smirked and dropped him across the top-rope then hit a DDT for another two-count. The older Cena quickly hopped to his feet and dragged Jason up with him, he hit a quick jab, Jason reeled but didn't go down so he hit another but was stunned when Jason smacked him back as hard as he could! John shook it off and hit a punch but Jason whacked him back again! The younger Cena could barely stand and every punch he hit almost caused himself to drop but he continued fight, John went for yet another punch but Jason ducked and hit one of his own, then another, he suddenly began unloading with punches and backed John up against the ropes, he continued to throw punch after punch as well as throwing knees and a few headbutts at his brother! He tried for a whip but John reversed it, Jason ducked an elbow came back off the ropes and hit the flying forearm! Both brothers were down again and the referee began counting them down.
John shook off Jason's attack quite quickly and was on his feet by five, he knew what usually came next and waited, sure enough Jason somehow found the strength to nip up but John merely smacked him back down with a right hand, he turned and taunted the crowd while behind him Jason nipped up again! John didn't notice and spun round to receive punches and chops from the teen, he backed John up against the ropes and continued to hammer away before whipping him, John reversed it and tried a clothesline but the teen ducked it, John's momentum caused him to hit the ropes and when he came back Jason was there to hit a powerslam! Jason jumped back to his feet while John rolled to his knees and hit the shining wizard! The teen then hopped to the top-rope and went for a frog splash but John moved, Jason popped a roll on landing and jumped to his feet, John charged but Jason ducked and hit a neckbreaker, John bounced right back up so Jason hit a dragon suplex that dropped John on his face! The two fought their way back up to their feet in opposite corners, Jason ran forward and it the stinger splash followed by a reverse DDT, he climbed to the top-rope again and waited for John to stand before going for a cross body but john caught him! Too late Jason realised what he was going to do as John threw him up to his shoulders then dropped him with the F-U! He covered Jason but the teen somehow kicked out!
John looked at the referee in shock before jumping to his feet and dragging Jason with him, he lifted the teen up for the F-U again but Jason slipped off his shoulders and pushed him away, he charged but John avoided it, he stopped himself in the corner, elbowed John away and charged again but John took him down with a drop-toehold and locked on the STF-U! Jason screamed in pain and reached for the ropes but the were just out of arms reach, he tried to fight out but suddenly went limp, the referee quickly checked his arm, it fell once, twice but not a third time! The teen began to fight out with all his might while John tried to lock it on tighter, Jason gritted his teeth, pushed himself up and just managed to grab the ropes. John frowned and argued with the referee before grabbing Jason and started to lift him up but Jason slapped him away and hit a superkick! Both brothers collapsed back down to the mat again but forced themselves back up, Jason tried a whip but John reversed it and went for a backdrop but Jason dropped down and punched him in the face before hitting an X-Factor! He jumped up and called for the Five-Knuckle-Shuffle, he hit the ropes, paused, made the DX sign and hit it before calling for the F-U! He lifted John up but the older Cena slipped out and tried a back suplex, Jason flipped out of it, spun his brother round and hit the impaler! They both crawled to opposite corners again and Jason went for another stinger splash but John moved, the older Cena hit the ropes and went for a flying shoulder but Jason ducked it, lifted John up to his shoulders and hit the F-U! He slowly draped an arm over John but the older Cena just kicked out at two!
Both brothers forced their ways back up, Jason went to lift John up but the older Cena raked his eyes, Jason staggered away and the referee went to check on him, while his back was turned John pulled the chain out of his pocket and wrapped it round his fist, he started forward but Jason took him down and went for the sharpshooter but John pulled him into a roll up and grabbed the ropes, the referee counted but Jason just kicked out again, John slipped the hand with the chain behind his back and backed into a corner as Jason bore down on him, he pulled the referee in the way but Jason then grabbed the ref and moved him to the side allowing John to clock him with the chain! He slipped the evidence back into his pocket and quickly covered but Jason kicked out! John lost it and began hurling abuse at the referee before covering again but again Jason kicked out, he went to pick the teen up but Jason pulled him into a roll up for a two-count, as this happened the chain fell out of John's pocket, they got back up but Jason clotheslined John back down and noticed the chain. He picked it up and went to throw it to the crowd but paused and grinned before wrapping it around his fist, he started forward but the referee stopped him, the two argued before the referee took the chain and went to put it in the corner, Jason went to pick John up but the older Cena took advantage of the referee's distraction and hit a low blow causing him and Jason to drop to the mat.
The two brothers again willed themselves back to their knees before they began exchanging right hands, they both stood up straight and continued to punch away at each other until Jason gained the advantage, he backed John into a corner and hit punch after punch without stopping, the referee tried to pull him off but he spun round and shoved him down. John took advantage and threw Jason into the corner before hitting punches of his own, the referee again tried to stop it but this time John shoved him away, Jason used this to battle out of the corner and they continued to exchange punches in the middle of the ring, neither one giving an inch, the referee again tried to get between them but they both threw him away! They continued to punch away as the referee called for the bell and threw the match out! Neither brother registered the bell but instead continued to brawl it out, the referee called for help from backstage and more referees hit the ring. Jason and John continued to fight it out, shrugging off every referee who got between them, eventually the referees managed to pull them apart and put them on opposite sides of the ring. Jason saw an opening and shrugged off the referees holding him before charging John and hitting a clothesline that sent both of them over the top-rope, when they landed on the outside Jason began unloading on his brother with punch after punch before picking him up and slamming his head into the ringpost, he walked away from John and grabbed a chair, he started to head back to John but the referees blocked his path. One of them tried to grab the chair but Jason threw him down and smashed him with the chair, he tried to get past the others but they stopped him allowing John to hightail it up the ramp, Jason snapped when he saw this and returned his attention to the referee he had hit before and began repeatedly bringing the chair down across his body, he dropped the chair and rolled the referee back in to the ring, he joined him and lifted him up before dropping him with the F-U. He then dropped to his knees, exhausted from the match and blood loss, Mara came in the ring to check on him while he screamed at John on the ramp, the older Cena looked on with concern as his younger brother screamed that this wasn't over.
