Allo! Welcome back once again. Last time we saw Jason defeat Christian as the Smackdown roster tries to impress Teddy and earn the WWE title shot for Saturday Night's Main Event. How will the teen continue on his road to the gold? Let's find out!
Here We Go!
Brotherly Hate-Chapter Sixty Five-An Uprising"C'mon kid, we're gonna be late!" Yelled Shawn as he loaded his gear into the car, the teen, in deep conversation with his girlfriend, glanced up.
"You say something Shawn?"
"Yeah, we're gonna be late, let's get going".
Jason nodded and jumped in the back with Mara, Shawn started the engine and headed for the arena.
"So kid, who do ya feel like humiliating tonight?"
Once again Jason wasn't paying attention, Shawn sighed, it was all well and good that he and Mara were close again but if that was all he was focused on then there would be problems.
"You listening back there?"
"Huh? Yeah go ahead".
"I said who do ya feel like humiliating tonight?"
"First person we come across who deserves it" replied the teen with a shrug. "You think Teddy's gonna choose one of us for that title shot?"
"Dunno kid, we've both got good reasons, I beat Kurt at Wrestlemania and you ain't been pinned since ya went solo".
"Imagine if Teddy makes a match between us".
"Yeah" Shawn gave a mock sigh. "A big win before I face Rey".
"Excuse me? I believe that I am two to one against you".
"The Rumble don't count and if it did remember who eliminated you from the Rumble itself".
"Battle royals don't mean squat Shawn, one day someone who has no business in the main event scene is gonna win one and get a shot".
"Like you?"
"Actually I was thinking more along the lines you old timer".
Mara laughed and rested her head on Jason's shoulder as the two continued their good-natured insults, Jason subconsciously ran his hand through her hair before turning to her and smiling.
"What about you Mara, looking forward to your match?"
"I dunno, it's gonna be tough going".
"A battle royal for the Smackdown divas? You and Jillian are the only two who can wrestle".
"It's not that easy".
"Say what?"
"Teddy felt the same way as you so he struck a deal with Paul Heyman, so now I gotta go through Smackdown and ECW girls".
"Yeah, you're still gonna win".
"You talk as though I'm the best wrestler in the division".
"Uh hello? Mara Daniels, the sister of Christopher? God's gift to wrestling? Of course you're the best women's wrestler in this company".
"Thanks".
"Just speaking the truth".
"And the fact I'm your girlfriend has nothing to do with it?"
"Maybe".
A few minutes later Shawn pulled the car into the parking lot, the teen hopped out and began unloading his bag from the trunk, just then a bunch of paparazzi ran by, his eyes followed them then rolled when he saw who they were greeting, MNM. The trio marched by, flashing them with arrogant smirks as they did, when they were past Jason caught Shawn's eye and nodded after them, Shawn grinned and nodded before reaching back in the car and pulling out the 'equipment'.
Meanwhile MNM were still basking in the glow on the paparazzi's camera's, Melina especially enjoyed it.
"You!" She yelled at a production assistant. "Take our bags to our locker room… NOW!" She screamed when the guy was a little slow to react. "Unbelievable" she muttered after he had walked off before going back to posing with Nitro and Mercury, finally, after several more shots she waved away the requests for more pictures and decided to leave, as she walked away she bumped into the same production guy.
"Watch it! Did you get our stuff to our room?"
"Actually a couple of guys in DX shirts did it for me".
"What?" Nitro grabbed him. "What did you say?"
"A couple of guys in DX shirts came up to me and told me they'd take your stuff".
"And you just gave it too them? What did they look like?"
"One was a teenager, and the other looked like he was in his forties".
"Don't you know who they were?"
"Look, I ain't a wrestling fan I just set up the arena here, now let go before I sue!"
Nitro let the guy go and exchanged a look with Mercury and Melina before they trio sprinted to their locker room, all three froze when they saw the state of the locker room, their clothes were scattered all over the place covered in green paint, even the fur jackets had got coated with the paint, the walls were covered in graffiti as well, catchphrases, logos and one which had Melina a heart and…
"A chicken? I'm a vegetarian!" She yelled before turning to Mercury and Nitro, both looking sheepish. "What?"
"Uh… Melina" began Nitro. "It's… not a chicken it's…"
"A cock" finished Mercury before covering his ears as Melina began screaming in fury.
For the second week in a row Teddy Long found himself confronted by angry victims of Jason and Shawn's shenanigans, he didn't mind what they were doing, if it gave some of the more egotistical superstars a nice dose of humiliation he was for it, but it was resulting in a bit of a headache when the victims came to complain to him.
"… Are you even listening?" Yelled Melina. "What are you going to do about it?"
"Do you really need me to answer that?"
"Don't even think about it Long".
"I'm more than thinking about it, I'm doing it, your boys are facing Jason Cena and Shawn Michaels tonight! Now get out of my office".
Melina left, Teddy sighed then stuck his head out of the door.
"Josh, get Jason and Shawn in here immediately please".
A short while later Jason and Shawn were standing outside Teddy's office.
"What do you think he wants to see us for?"
"Dunno kid, probably gonna announce some stipulation for the match tonight".
"Why couldn't he have just told Melina?"
"Beats me".
Teddy opened the door. "Come in playas, thanks for coming although I'd rather you came the moment I asked you rather than wait a quarter of an hour".
"Had to put on my ring gear" shrugged Shawn.
"Yeah, then he had to find me".
"What do you mean 'find you'?"
"Him and Mara wanted some alone time, don't ask".
"We were just talking".
"And kissing".
"Everyone does it".
"Not when they're supposed to be preparing for a match".
"Shut up playgirl".
"Both of you shut up" said Teddy. "Look, I enjoy a good joke, but can you tone it down? The more pranks you pull the more annoyed people come to my office, it's starting to get annoying".
"Well sorry for having fun" muttered Jason. "And while we're at it, sorry for ruining Christian's eleven dollar shirt, sorry for bringing up Tomko's allergy, sorry for giving MNM a taste of humiliation and sorry for kicking their asses like there's no tomorrow!"
Shawn tapped him on the shoulder. "We haven't done that yet".
"I know that, I was just apologising in advance".
The two laughed and headed out the door, Teddy shook his head as he looked after them. "Can't these two take anything seriously?"
The DX music hit as Jason, Shawn and Mara made their way to the ring, they set the pyro's off then Jason grabbed a mic.
"Shawn, do you ever get the feeling someone doesn't like us?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, we come to the arena, have a few laughs, play a few jokes, get some laughs, yet we're the ones who get the heat for it, Christian and Tomko get coated in paint and the ring crew get pissed at us because they had to clean it up, how did that paint get there anyway?"
"I dunno, one of life's great mysteries".
"Then someone defaces MNM's property and we get yelled at just because Melina didn't like the truth, whoever wrote that on the wall surely had to have some inside info on that one huh? But anyway, MNM, we know you're just a little upset about what happened, so come on down and get yourself some so that we can get back to the hotel while there's still room service".
"And if you're not down with that slightly self-indulgent promo, then we got two words for ya!"
Before the crowd could finish for them MNM's music hit and Melina led her boys down to the ring, as she did her usual ring entrance Melina exchanged a dirty look with Mara, there was no love lost between them. The two went face-to-face but Jason stepped in to pull Mara away, as he did MNM jumped him and Shawn to kick off a brawl to begin the match, Shawn and Jason quickly took control and sent MNM to the outside before following after them, Jason threw Nitro over the crowd wall while Shawn put Mercury back in the ring and hit a suplex for a two-count, he quickly backed Mercury into a corner and gave him a few chops before whipping him and hitting a hiptoss, he brought Mercury to his corner and tagged in Jason, the two whipped Mercury and hit a double elbow followed by a double elbow drop, Nitro came in and received a double suplex before Jason and Shawn nipped up and double dropkicked Mercury, Jason then hit a neckbreaker for a two-count.
Jason quickly whipped Mercury and hit a powerslam for another two-count before tagging in Shawn again, he lifted Mercury up then dropped him on Shawn's knee, Shawn held him while Jason hit the ropes and ran through Mercury with a clothesline, Shawn quickly followed up with a DDT for a two-count before tagging Jason back in, the teen went to the top-rope while Shawn lifted Mercury up for a suplex with Jason adding a cross-body on the way down, the teen covered but only got two yet again. The teen whipped Mercury and hit a powerslam for another two-count then went to hit the ropes but Melina grabbed his foot, Jason turned and grabbed at her, missed and left himself open for Nitro to hang his head between the top and middle ropes, the teen rebounded up into a neckbreaker from Mercury who quickly tagged in Nitro who then hit a legdrop for a two-count.
Nitro quickly picked the teen back up and hit a suplex before tagging Mercury back in, they whipped Jason and Mercury kicked him in the stomach as he came back, the teen leaned forward allowing Nitro to hit a knee to the head before they both hit legdrops on Jason, Mercury covered but Jason kicked out. He whipped Jason and went for an elbow but the teen ducked only for Nitro to knee him in the back as he hit the ropes, Jason staggered into Mercury who hit a northern lights suplex for another two-count. Mercury tagged Nitro back in and the two hit a double suplex for another two.
Nitro tried to keep his advantage and went for a whip, Jason reversed it but lowered his head too early allowing Nitro to kick him in the head, he reeled away and Nitro charged only for Jason to dodge and hit a reverse DDT, he started to crawl to the corner to tag Shawn, just before he could make it Mercury came in, the referee was distracted and didn't see Jason make the tag, Shawn came in only for the referee to stop him while MNM beat on Jason behind his back, Mercury distracted the referee again as Nitro put Jason over the apron, Melina put on a headscissor while Nitro added some boots before hitting a DDT for a two-count, Nitro dragged Jason to the corner and tagged Mercury, they whipped Jason but he ducked a double elbow and hit a double clothesline! He stayed down but MNM started to stir, they went to get him up but the teen suddenly nipped up to his feet! Almost as soon as he was up he dropped again tagging in Shawn as he did!
HBK came in and went on a tear, he ran through both members of MNM with clotheslines, he threw Nitro out and hit Mercury with an atomic drop, he followed up with a slam before climbing to the top-rope, he came down and hit a big elbow drop, he crawled to the corner and began tuning up the band, he went to start forward but Melina grabbed his foot, when he finally shook himself free Nitro came in and hit a spin-kick, Melina then called for the snapshot, the duo lifted Shawn up… and hit it! Mercury covered but Jason came off the top with a frog splash to break it up! The teen took out Nitro while Shawn rolled into a cover, the referee counted but Melina put Mercury's foot on the bottom rope.
Shawn and Mercury both fought their ways back up and Nitro tagged himself in, he beat on Shawn and whipped him not noticing Jason tagging himself in as well, he went for a clothesline but Shawn ducked and he ran right into a superkick from Jason! The teen covered but Mercury broke it up, the teen knocked him down and hit Nitro with a shining wizard for another two-count, Nitro retreated to the corner and Jason followed with a stinger splash, he set Nitro up for an impaler but Mercury came in and pulled him away, Nitro tried to nail him but Jason ducked and he hit Mercury! The teen then hit Nitro with a dragon suplex for another close two-count, Shawn then came in and took Mercury to the outside while Jason tried to whip Nitro, it was reversed and Nitro went for a backdrop but Jason dropped down and punched him in the face then hit an X-Factor, he then hit the Five-Knuckle-Shuffle and called for the F-U, he lifted Nitro up but the referee was distracted by Shawn and Mercury's brawl allowing Melina to come in and low blow him! He dropped Nitro as Melina rolled out of the ring only for Mara to come round and take her out! Mercury meanwhile threw Shawn into the steel steps while Nitro hit a superkick. Mercury pulled Mara off Melina and shoved her down while Nitro got ready for another snapshot, he went to lift Jason up but the teen suddenly took him down with a reverse STO then locked on the Koji clutch! Mercury came in to break it up but Shawn cut him off with Sweet Chin Music! Nitro struggled for a few seconds but in the end had no choice but to tap out!
The DX music hit again as Jason jumped up in celebration, he high-fived Shawn and hugged Mara before posing for the crowd, Shawn turned to pose for the other side and Jason went to follow but someone pulled him out under the bottom rope! Shawn spun round in confusion just in time to see Chris Masters throw Jason into the ringpost, he went to go help but Carlito came up behind him and dropped him with the backcracker! Masters rolled in the ring as Carlito threw Shawn to him and put on the Masterlock! Jason tried to come in and help but Carlito cut him off and beat him down then hit another backcracker.
"That's a sign of things to come!" He yelled in Jason's face. "And we're not the only ones, and dat… dat's cool!"
He then spat apple in the teen's face while Masters dropped Shawn to the mat, the two high-fived then left Jason and Shawn lying in the ring.
