Chapter 4
AJ Styles walked in the arena as JB walked up to him. "AJ after last week there is no way you are 100. Why are you here tonight?" JB asks. "Jake I'm going to be in the ring. If you're even half the man I used to think you were you will be there," AJ says as he walks off. Once AJ is in the building Jake walks out from behind a van. "Wow do you think he want me in the ring?" Jake asks as JB gives him a look.
AJ was in the ring. "Jake get out here now," AJ yells holding his ribs. Jim Cornett comes down. "AJ son think about this. You are to badly hurt. Jake is dangerous," Jim says. "I don't care Jim. I am going to beat some damn sense into Jake's head," AJ says. Jake's music starts to play. Jake comes down the ramp. "You know AJ you should be thanking me," Jake says. "Thanking you," AJ yells. "Yeah thanking me. Because I could have done this," Jake says pointing to a video that starts to play.

Jake is wrestling Christian. Christian counters the Death Valley Driver and hits the Unprettier for a win. Tomko and Cage start to put the boots to Jake. Cage gets a chair and puts Jake's leg between. AJ runs out to drive off Cage and Tomko but than stomps on the chair. Jake screams in pain. AJ climbs to the top and jumps off and stomps the chair with Jake's leg again.

"Less than a week after the death of my son by the way. So AJ be grateful if I had wanted I would have knocked Traci and taken your leg from you. Do you think you would ever be the same? So I lost it all and yet these people cheer you," Jake says. "Jake I am begging you. Get help you wouldn't be doing this if you were sober," Jim says. "Jim just get out the way," AJ says as he starts to go after Jake. "Alright hold on. This is not going to happen tonight. But at No Surrender it will be AJ Styles vs. Jake Reed," Jim says as he stands between Jake and AJ trying to keep them apart.
"AJ I'm going to tell you this once. Take every moment you can and spend it your family. Play ball, go for a walk because won't be able to do it after No Surrender," Jake says. "You know what…" Kurt Angle jumps AJ before can finish. Kurt puts AJ in the ankle lock while Booker comes out to put the boots to AJ. Jake enters the ring and pulls the tire iron out of his jacket but Samoa Joe enters and goes after Jake. Security breaks it up pulling all five men apart. Kurt and Booker raise Jake's arms but Jake just pulls away and leaves.
Jake was backstage as Kurt walked up to him. "Leave me alone Angle," Jake says. "Hey Jake I just want a moment of your time," Kurt says. "You know Kurt I really don't care," Jake says. "Hey we both hate AJ Styles. He betrayed you and me," Kurt says. "Angle you think he slept with you wife I know he betrayed me," Jake says. "Jake be smart about this," Kurt says. "I am going to count to ten and if you don't leave me alone well Mr. Tire Iron is… I don't want to spoil the surprise. Ten nine…"
"Jake, Booker and I can help and make sure Joe leaves you alone," Kurt says. "One," Jake says as he swings. Kurt ducks and Jake leaves a big hole in the wall. Kurt backs away. "You see Kurt I don't' want help. I want to take care of AJ and Joe all on my own," Jake says. Kurt is gone the camera man follows him.
Jake looks around and makes sure he is alone before pulling out his phone. "It's me… Yeah it's all going according to the plan. They have no idea… No one even suspects I am working with you… Hell if anything you are the last person would expect me to work with…Just take care of your part…" Jake hangs up.
Traci had just had enough she was going to try and talk to Jake whether he wanted to or not. "Well look here Angelina it's the old maid," Velvet Sky said. "Actually Velvet that is a little to insulting… to old maids," Angelina says. "Why don't you two just leave me alone? I'm not in the mode to deal with you two "divas,"" Traci says. "You know what I'm thinking?" Angelina says as they hold up the brown bag.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Sting says stepping out of the shadows. "Oh what are you going to do there is a no man on woman violence," Velvet says. Sting just hands Traci his bat. The Beautiful People walk off. "You ok?" Sting asks. "Yeah I'm fine and I could have taken care of them," Traci says. "I know but I figured you were going a rough spot and you didn't need to right now," Sting says. "Have you seen Jake?" Traci asks. "Not since his interaction with AJ," Sting says.
"Why don't you just turn around old man," Jake says from behind them. Sting turns around only to get hit in the gut with the tire iron. "Ah!" Jake takes Sting and throws him into the side of the ring truck. "Jake stop it," Traci yells stepping between Jake and Sting before he can do anymore. Jake just walks off.
Jim Cornett was in his office and he knew the truth. There was no way he could keep Jake and AJ apart until the PPV. He also knew he would have to add them to some type of match. "I don't want to but there is only one match I can," Jim thought.
"Borash get in here," Jim yelled out as JB entered. "You wanted me sir," JB says. "I am making a match for next week it will be the team of Traci Brooks, Roxxi, and AJ Styles taking on the team of The Beautiful People and Jake Reed," Jim says. "Ah boss you know Jake and Traci…" "Yes I know. I actually happened to have been invited to that wedding unlike you!"
