Paul Heyman walked down the halls of the WWE Headquarters with Brock Lesner right beside him. He was bringing his plan to the next level by talking to Hunter about that General Manager spot that was about to be empty after Battleground. Paul carried a file with him and clutched it to his chest like if it were one of the two children that he has. He knew that he was done with Jordyn - he had no other use for her, but playing with her emotions had amused the sneaky manager so much, that he just wanted to hold on to her just a little longer.

"So, what are you planning to do as soon as we get to the office?" Brock asked him with such curiosity. There was absolute no clue to what Paul had in mind. Paul had requested that Brock be by his side for protection. When you bring Brock Lesner by your side, you know that it has to be some trouble. Paul needed his heavy with him because he knew that Hunter Levesque was going to be in that same room. So, he just wanted to be safe rather than sorry.

"I am going to negotiate something to Hunter. Curtis has inspired me to do something about that General Manager position that Brad Maddox will be kicked out of next week. Let me just say is that I know the perfect person for that position. It will be someone that knows who are the best things to happen in the WWE - Curtis Axel, Brock Lesner and me, Paul Heyman." Paul responded like the proudest man alive, with a huge grin on his face. Brock nodded and gave one of his devious smirks.

Paul and Brock continued to walk down the hallways in silence. Their footsteps were the only noise that could be heard from both ends of the hallway. Once they reached the door to Hunter's office, Brock took a step ahead of Paul and kicked the door open with all the force that he had on his right foot. The door swung open, causing it to crash to the wall, leaving a dent from the door knob. Brock then stepped back and gave permission for Paul to step inside the room. The noise of the door being swung open, popped Hunter's head from his papers and into the eyes of that slimy weasel, Paul Heyman. Hunter stood up from his cushy seat and held his glare.

"The hell do you want, Paul?" Hunter finally asked him angrily. There were many things that people can do to him, but barge into his office with that attitude wasn't something that you can get away with.

"Hunter, I know that you are a very, very hardworking man and I know better than to barge into your office, but I am just here to negotiate something that could not only benefit me, but benefit the WWE." Paul Heyman paused and looked back at Brock, gesturing for him to come forward and have his back. Brock didn't say anything at all and just did what his manager had told him to do.

Hunter heard Paul say something about negotiating and it automatically grabbed his attention. He was now a businessman. So, that means that he has to hear what his talent wants to say. With that, he calmed himself down and exhaled the breath that he had trapped in his mouth because of all the anger that he had at Paul moments ago.

"What's the negotiation? Please continue." Hunter ordered.

"Well, Curtis, Brock and I have heard about you preparing to fire Brad Maddox on the RAW after Battleground. The news have caught us off guard. But, it has inspired us to find someone that could fit the bill as a General Manager. The three of us want someone, smart, leadership qualities. Someone that is willing to laydown the law and give the talent of the WWE what they rightfully deserve." Paul continued his argument, but Hunter halted him.

"I am not planning to hire you, Paul." Hunter responded in such a blunt way. Paul couldn't help, but laugh. He wasn't referring to himself - even though, he considers himself to have all of those qualities. But, he's not looking forward to making himself the General Manager of RAW.

"I wasn't referring to myself, Hunter. I actually got someone in mind. All the information is in this file." Paul extended the file to Hunter, who hesitantly accepted. Hunter opened the file and looked over the person's resume. This person looked perfect for the job. After a few moments of looking over more papers, Hunter looked at Paul.

"I'll take her under consideration."


"I don't know, Beth. Mark had his issues with Phil. They faced each other at WrestleMania this year. Is Phil still bitter over that? We're talking about the same man that almost attacked Jordyn." Michelle McCool was talking to Beth Phoenix about who Punk had decided as a tag team partner at Battleground. Michelle just couldn't adjust to the idea. Earlier in the year, Punk and Taker were at each other's throats and for them to be as partners at the same side. It looks like things can't end pretty for them.

Beth Phoenix was talking to Michelle McCool, while Punk was warming up for his partner reveal for Battleground this Sunday. The Undertaker was no where in sight and Edge was supposedly with Punk. Beth and Michelle haven't been the best of friends. Beth found Michelle to be very immature and self-centered, but when the news of Punk wanting her husband for a tag team partner came out, she felt like she had to get Michelle in the same page that she was on if they wanted Taker to say yes to the idea. Taker ended up agreeing to be Punk's partner thanks to Michelle.

"Jordyn is Adam's baby sister. I want her back as well, but we have the best feeling that Mark is the solution for Phil to win the match at Battleground. We need Mark as much as Phil needs Mark as a partner. It does sound strange, don't get me wrong. But, it's anything for Phil to get Jordyn back." Beth was determined to get Jordyn back. Sure, did upset her that she couldn't do anything about it, but she hoped that Phil and Mark would do something about it.

"We're cool with that. I as well hate that walrus and his stupid henchmen. But, with Paul at their corner, Paul will do anything at all to make sure they win that match. What if Paul uses Jordyn to win the match?" Michelle wants just pondering over the scenarios that could happen at Battleground. She would hate to witness the sight of Paul hurting Jordyn or her unborn baby.

"Then, we'll be there to protect her, right Andrew?" Beth smirked and then looked at the toddler, who was sitting on the bench in the Divas Locker Room. Andrew looked back at supposedly his aunt.

"Why does mommy need protection?" Andrew asked confused. He had no clue what the hell was going on. He could have sworn that his mother was in vacation. Punk had forgotten to inform Beth about how much Andrew knew about his mother's whereabouts - Andrew knew nothing.

"Your mom's with Paul Heyman and your daddy has to win his match to get her back. You knew that, right?" Beth asked confused. Andrew shook his head.

"Daddy said she was in a vacation or something. I can't remember." Andrew was still confused and this worried Beth. Did she just admit something that she wasn't supposed to tell him? Goodness gracious, was this kid now going to be crying and worrying about his mother? Beth looked back at Michelle.

"This is all a game, kid. It's all part of the game. We win, we get your mommy back." Michelle smiled at the child. Beth sighed in relief. Maybe, this little trick would work on Andrew and not get him worried.

"I like games." Andrew nodded and Michelle patted him on the head.

"Good boy." Michelle responded.


Cult of Personality by Living Colour played throughout the arena with massive cheers as Punk came out. He came out in his signature jacket with his ring gear underneath it. Once he entered the ring, he asked for the microphone and began to speak. A loud 'CM Punk' chant began forming, bring a smile to the former WWE Champion's face. Well, the smile was bigger than the one that he had walking down the ramp to the ring, but he was overall in a good mood.

"When Paul Heyman threw down the match about facing Curtis Axel and Brock Lesner at Battleground, I was surprised that Paul gave me the opportunity to choose my own partner. I mean, I could choose anyone that I wanted as a partner. I could even choose Godzilla as a tag team partner!" Punk was jumping up and down like an excited child on Christmas morning." Now, I would like to introduce you to my partner -"

"Phil."

Punk could recognize the feminine voice anywhere. It was the voice of his wife, Jordyn. Jordyn was standing on top of the ramp with worry in her eyes. Paul had demanded that she come out there and talk to Punk about backing out of the huge tag team match at Battleground. Punk was on one hand, so happy that he gets to see his wife, but on the other hand, he was upset that she was upset and still in the clutches of Paul Heyman.

"Jordyn, come here, what are you doing here?" Punk asked confused. Jordyn didn't respond, but continued to walk to the ring. Punk sat in between the ropes, assisting Jordyn inside the ring, making sure that she got in carefully.

"Phil, I am your wife and I care about you so much. But, you can be so reckless sometimes that it worries me so much. Phil, I'm here being a caring wife and I'm saying that you should back out of the tag match at Battleground this Sunday." Jordyn assisted and then, a sea of boos formed throughout the WWE Universe. His own wife was asking him to back out of the tag team match, back out of trying to win her back?

"Why should I back out? Jordyn, if you're worried about me not being able to find a tag team partner, I already have one and we'll win the match -" Punk tried to convince his wife that everything was going to turn out okay, but something - more like Paul was able to convince her backstage that everything was not going to be fine.

"Phil, Brock Lesner, the Intercontinental Champion, Curtis Axel. That is one impressive team and I don't know if you stand a chance with whoever you decided as a tag team partner." Jordyn frowned. She couldn't believe the things that she was saying. Damn that Paul Heyman.

"Jordyn..." Punk whispered, but Jordyn couldn't dare to look at her in the eyes.

"Maybe, you should listen to your wife, Punk. She does seem to know what is best for you."

Punk looked at the ramp again, and there was those three - Paul Heyman, Curtis Axel and Brock Lesner. Punk gave them his death glare, he was angry at them. Did they make Jordyn say those things? It had to be it. There was no way that Jordyn would doubt him. She has never doubted him before and doesn't understand why she would doubt him now.

"Did you make her say those things? You have some nerve, Paul!" Punk yelled at his microphone. He ran his fingers through his brown hair, frustrated at what his wife had told him to do. Paul snickered and looked back to his guys, who snickered with him. Then, those three walked to the ring, meeting up with Punk and Jordyn.

"Punk, she's a darling woman that you married. But, I still think that she someone that rhymes with witch and the word starts with a B." Paul tried his best to sound funny, but it only offended Jordyn, whose jaw dropped to the ground.

"Go to hell, Paul." she shook her head in such disapproval.

"You see Punk, it doesn't matter to who you have as a partner, Brock and I are still going to beat you guys." Curtis told him.

"Did you even find a partner? I don't see him anywhere in sight!" Brock silently laughed to himself.

"Maybe, he's invisible!" Curtis chimed into the joke that Brock was doing. Brock looked around the ring, but Punk's partner wasn't in sight.

"Oh wait, don't be rude, he's probably next to him!" Brock pointed next to Punk.

A loud dung as the light went out. The WWE Universe knew who exactly this was. Another dung and another one as the theme song of the Undertaker played throughout the arena. The purple smoke traveled forward, as the dead man appeared through the smoke. This brought chills down Jordyn's spine. This was the first time that Jordyn had seen the Undertaker ever since WrestleMania. The Undertaker continued to walk down the ramp and stopped as he made the lights go back on. Paul, Brock and Curtis looked at him and they know that...

Trouble was coming.


So, Punk's partner is The Undertaker! Battleground should be interesting. This was a nice, long chapter! I want to thank all of those that reviewed at the last chapter and please, fave, follow and review! :)
