Part 22: "So Close"
Tonight was the tag team championship match for Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes. Their opponents were Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch. Both tag teams were in the ring, so the bell rang.
Murdoch and Hardcore Holly squared off first. Hardcore kicked Murdoch in the stomach and performed a DDT. He pinned Murdoch, but he kicked out. Murdoch was still lying on the mat, so Holly tagged in Cody. Jasmine, who was outside of the ring, cheered him on. By this time, Murdoch had crawled over to his partner, Lance Cade. Lance and Cody had a test of strength, but Cade backed Cody into a corner. Lance gave Cody some elbows to the face. Cody then backed up, and charged, but nobody was home. Cody had moved, and Lance's shoulder had been thrust into the ring post. When Lance got out of that predicament, Cody performed a bulldog and pinned him. Murdoch interfered. He and the ref had an argument in the ring. While they were arguing, Cody dropkicked Lance. Lance fell on top of the ref, and they both fell out of the ring. Because there was no ref, Murdoch pushed Holly out of the sidelines, and kicked Cody out of the ring. Suddenly, Shannon got out from under the ring. He punched and kicked a defenseless Cody Rhodes. Shannon turned towards Jasmine and got closer to her. Jasmine was brave enough to slap him. Because of that, Shannon grabbed her by the hair, and gave her a slobbery kiss. Cody saw this, and pried Shannon off of Jasmine. He punched him repeatedly, and threw him against the steel steps. Cody got back into the ring. He didn't know that Murdoch was behind him. He turned around, and was kicked down low. The ref finally got in the ring. Murdoch pinned him and won. Lance came into the ring and raised his hand. They got out of the ring once Holly and Jasmine entered. She checked on Cody. He yelled, "They cheated!" Jasmine tried to calm him down. Holly just shook his head.
Sorry that this chapter was only a match. :p
