Argh! Updates are taking forever and I'm really sorry about that; high school is kicking my butt and I've had a bit of writers block for my stories on . Anyway, thank you to everyone fore reviewing, alerting, liking, adding me to your favorites, and reading this story. This is the rumble match from Zack Ryder's POV. His personality is gonna be a bit different cause he's really mad and not up to acting like his usual self. I hope you like this chapter!
My music hit and I ran down the ramp, entering the ring at number thirty. I slid under the bottom rope and came up eliminating Jinder Mahal and Santino before I had stood up all the way. I pushed my way past the other fifteen superstars still in the ring until I got to Rhodes. He was kicking Miz who was in the corner with his hands over his head. I spun Rhodes around to face me and landed a swift, hard punch to his face before he realized what was happening.
"That's for Rachel you bastard!" now I'm not one to curse; my mother taught me better, but when it comes to Rachel Cena I wasn't lying when I told her I was prepared to go to war for her. I caught movement to my left and dunked just in time as Dolph Ziggler's fist came flying toward my face. His right hand slammed into Rhodes right before I used the adrenaline pumping through my body to pick him up off of the mat and throw him straight over the top rope.
I slammed Rhodes face first into the top turnbuckle, then again, and again, and again one more time for good measures before letting him fall to the mat. I turned around to see who was left and immediately when to help John; after all, he's my girlfriend's father. I slammed my elbow into the back of Jack Swagger's head and threw him over the top rope to go meet up with Dolph and Vickie.
I looked at John then we both turned to look at Rhodes who was just getting up. He noticed us looking at him and instantly dove behind Ted. The Mississippi native looked at the man he was once tag team champs with and laughed, much like his father if I do say so myself, then Ted grabbed a hold of Rhodes's hair and shoved him into John. Cena smiled evilly at Rhodes before lifting him up and into the FU. Just as Rhodes was coming down to hit the mat, I threw a foot up and got connection with his face.
The beating of Rhodes continued for several more minutes until Mark Henry decided to come over and ruin our fun. He grabbed a hold of Ted and gave him the world's strongest slam over the top rope.
John looked at me and quickly said "Kick Rhodes ass for me," then he jumped into the path Henry was taking to get to me.
I moved my way through the last remaining superstars to find Rhodes was no where to be seen. Thinking he had got eliminated I set to work getting the other's out of the ring, out of the match so I could win the Royal Rumble. It came down to me and Sheamus. I took a stance and ordered him to come get some. He charged and I quickly dived out of the way while throwing my knee into his ribs. I landed a quick blow to his head sending him into the corner.
"WOO WOO WOO!" I yelled before getting a Rough Ryder over on the Irish fella. I dragged him to his feet and used all my strength to get him over the ropes. He fell like a sack of potatoes to the mats outside the ring. When the bell didn't ring immediately following this, I knew something was up. Very slowly, I turned around and came face to face with Rhodes.
"Rachel is mine," Rhodes growled
I shook my head no and smirked "Only in your dreams you sick sob!" I couldn't tell you what happened after that. I remember charging forward and basically spearing him into the mat and getting a few punches in, but after that I'm not sure who had the upper hand. I don't know how long we were in the ring, but the next thing I knew the whole WWE roster was in the ring holding us apart; well, protecting Rhodes who couldn't get to his feet and holding me back so I wouldn't commit murder.
Teddy Long and John Laurinaitis came running down the ramp and quickly got into the ring between us. Teddy held a hand out toward me and said "Now hold up playa!" as Laurinaitis got a mic from one of the camera dudes.
"My name is John Laurinaitis; I am the executive vice president of talent relations and the interm Raw General Manager." He said as he turned to check on Rhodes. "I have just gotten a call from the WWE board in Connecticut who has just given me a match and stipulation for WrestleMania!"
The fans cheered a little as Laurinaitis continued "It will be The United States Champion Zack Ryder against the Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes!"
Teddy stepped forward and said "The match will be winner takes all; which ever one of these gentlemen that wins the match will not be crowned as both US and Intercontinental Champion, but will be given a match for either the WWE Championship, or the World Heavyweight Champion! And after the things that transpired earlier tonight between Cody Rhodes and Rachel Cena, whoever losses the match will be fired if they go anywhere near the Diva Champion!"
The crowd was going completely nuts by the time the Smackdown GM was done talking. Anger was boiling in my skin as I thought about Rhodes being anywhere near Rachel.; that was when I realized John was the only one still holding me and I had been struggling the whole time.
"Calm down," John whispered as Rhodes was helped from the ring "You will win, they didn't say all of the stipulations but it's a no disqualification match as well so I'll have your back. Rhodes is not getting anywhere near my daughter; now, you need to calm down so we can go check on Rachel."
I quit fighting immediately and got out of the ring. The fans were cheering for me and I fist pumped the air just to hear the thousands of people scream "YOU KNOW IT!" then I followed John up the ramp to see my beautiful brown haired beauty.
Ok! Chapter five, what do you guys think? Review please!
