Mayhem by Halestorm seems like the perfect song to listen to whilst writing this chapter!
"A little mayhem never hurt anyone"
The Monday night Raw before Wrestlemania was always an eventful one. The background staff and all the members of the production team were working extra hard to make sure that the build up to wrestlemania was perfect for the audience. Vince was even more stressed than he normally was, making sure that the show he had created and made into a phenomenon was even better than previous years. Tonight was no different and Monday night Raw would be starting with the Undertaker. Someone that I still got Goosebumps every time his music would echo throughout the arena.
I remember the first time I had been introduced to the man known as The Undertaker. He was even bigger than he looked on television and just as daunting however Mark Callaway was the nicest man I had ever met. Someone that would allow me to ask questions until I had no more to ask.
In the back Shane and I were stood hand in hand watching the monitor watching as the undertaker made his entrance. I had no idea what Wrestlemania would bring to us however I knew that it would truly be amazing!
The crowd erupted hearing the Undertakers theme. All of them excited to see the Phenom.
"Fifteen thousand, six hundred and fifteen WWE fans on their feet in Brooklyn tonight for the arrival of the greatest of all time the Phenom the undertaker." Michael Cole said on commentary welcoming the fans at home to the show.
"I have fought some of the best but none of them compare to the undertaker" JBL said.
"And this Sunday at Wrestlemania, the undertaker climbs inside Hell in a cell with Shane McMahon and Bryon there is so much at stake in this match"
"Yeah, If Shane McMahon somehow finds a way to defeat the undertaker inside hell in a cell then Shane McMahon will earn control of Monday Night Raw. But guys we also found out last week that if the undertaker cannot defeat Shane McMahon, per the order of the chairman. Wrestlemania will be the last that we see of the Deadman" Bryon said in reply as the Undertaker continued his walk down the ramp.
"That walk is going to feel like a million years I bet on Sunday" Shane whispered to me as we stood watching. I just nodded in understanding.
"And John this is about the legend the undertaker and the legacy of not only Shane McMahon but the entire McMahon family."
"The entire McMahon family's legacy is at stake from the time of Vince McMahon sr. to today the creator of wrestlemania with the man who has dominated that creation, the undertaker."
"The undertaker 22-1 at wrestlemania. Shane McMahon will be locked inside Hell in a cell with this man" Michael Cole said as the crowd began chanting Undertaker at the man stood inside the ring.
"This wrestlemania will not be my last. Now I have made it clear to Vince McMahon that the blood of his son is on his hands. But Vince's blood very may well be on mine. Now I know Shane McMahon is going to fight for his legacy until he draws his breath. But wrestlemania is my yard, hell in a cell is my house and in wrestlemania, Shane McMahon will rest in peace."
Here Comes the Money
"But it's not wrestlemania yet. Shane O'Mac is in the house" Michael Cole said as Shane appeared on the stage doing his trademark shuffle with myself just several seconds behind.
"Hello Brooklyn! Undertaker, this Sunday at wrestlemania, you and I are going to rip each other apart, because we have no other alternative. Both you and I are going to control our own personal destiny. The difference is I'm fighting to win and you're fighting not to lose. You may be my father's instrument of destruction, but I am the instrument of change here in the WWE. That's been needed for a very long time. After hell in a cell, whatever is left of this body is going to crawl its way into the ring the very next night and we're going to leave hell in the rear-view mirror for all the WWE fans that deserve better because I will be in control of Monday Night Raw!" Shane said causing a positive reaction from the fans in attendance in Brooklyn.
"And if I have to cement my legacy by destroying yours, then that's what I have to do"
"You need to watch your mouth rich boy. You don't get to talk about my legacy" Undertaker said before Shane grabbed my hand and began walking us down the ramp. This caused cheers from the fans who were hoping that Shane and taker would give them a preview of what was to be at wrestlemania. I however was not as impressed. Watching as taker was getting more and more angry I knew that this confrontation who not be ending well.
"Shane think about this. Don't do something that we're all going to regret" I said to Shane quietly trying to get him to calm down. However he was refusing to take his eyes away from undertaker and continued to walk us towards him.
"What is Shane doing?" JBL said at commentary. "Emma looks terrified. The look on Shane's face is like he's about to get right in undertakers."
"Let's talk about legacy." Shane said as we entered the ring. "Let me take you back to wrestlemania two years ago. Your legacy died."
"You know Shane, you're just like your old man. And it figures seeing how from the very day that you were born, you've been your daddy's bitch."
This struck a nerve with Shane who dropped his microphone and pounced at Undertaker. I looked on in shock for less than a second before I jumped out of the ring to avoid any chance of getting caught in the crossfire.
I watched on from outside the ring as Shane swung rights and lefts at taker. However suddenly Taker managed to move and grab Shane by the shoulders and over the ring ropes not far from where I was stood. Acting on instinct I made my way to Shane wanting to check he was alright.
"Shane are you okay?" I asked him however before I could get an answer I was grabbed and thrown harshly to the floor away from my boyfriend. Looking up I found myself staring into the eyes of The Deadman who quickly turned his attention away from me to Shane. After a couple of knees to the stomach Shane was thrown against the barricade as I could do nothing but look on in fear.
Before I knew what was happening Taker was stripping the announce table of all the equipment as the fans chanting this is awesome. As Shane was hoisted up onto his shoulders for the last ride I was once again finding myself acting without thinking.
Striking the undertaker in the back I found that my strength was nothing for him. Luckily however Shane managed to jump off and shouted for me to get out of the way whilst kicking Taker in the stomach.
As Taker was leaning on the table Shane continued firing rights and lefts at his head trying to weaken the Phenom. Having a dazed Undertaker allowed Shane to grab a television monitor which he used to strike him in the head. With the undertaker lying on the table I begin to hear the crowd get excited and noticed Shane looking at the top rope. Knowing this could only mean one thing I began to panic.
"Shane don't do this! Please don't do this!" I began to beg as he made his way onto the apron. "Shane please at least wait until Mania!" As he began climbing to the top rope.
Hearing the commentators not far from where I was standing begin to beg Shane not to do it. I placed my head in my hands. I always knew Shane was a bit of a daredevil and had watched him do so many things that not many others would do but this was something simple that not many people would see as incredibly risky however I did.
Moving my hands away from my head just as Shane launched himself off the top rope I could do nothing but hold my breath as he flew through the air landing with an almighty bang as he crashed through the table and the undertaker.
Running straight over to him I crouched down.
"Shane are you okay babe?" I asked him with the feeling of wanting to cry. "I think so" He somehow got out of his body even though he was incredibly winded. I helped him to his feet as he stumbled backwards using my body and the steps to hold his weight.
We slowly made our way around the ring to the ramp whilst they showed replays of the leap of faith that had just taken place. I hid my face in Shane's chest not wanting to have to see that again or hear the thud of the two bodies breaking the table. As we made our way onto the ramp we turned around to look at the destruction that Shane had just caused.
Looking at the undertaker we were shocked as he suddenly sat up and then rose to his feet. Shane couldn't help the look of shock that had appeared on his face and I defiantly couldn't help the words as they fell out of my mouth.
"Oh my god Shane what have you just done?" I whispered as Shane pointed up at the wrestlemania sign.
Making our way to the backstage area we were greeted by McMahon family who were in attendance at the show. Stephanie grabbed her brother checking him over for injuries whilst Vince just patted his son on the shoulder before walking back to his desk to continue running the show.
"Are you okay bro?" Steph asked her brother with a look of concern on her face.
"Yeah of course I am. I use to do this stuff all the time. I'm just feeling a bit sore." He replied with a cheeky look on his face and a wink my way.
"You're an idiot" I said under my breath before attempting to walk away.
"Hey what's wrong?" Shane asked me grabbing my hand not allowing me to walk away. Stephanie looked our way before slowly walking away allowing us a small bit of privacy.
"Nothing I just hate seeing you put your body through stuff like that" I replied not looking Shane in the eye.
"Babe I know that you're concerned but the fans expect this of me, I can't be boring Shane that just uses his fists to win. I have to do the risky stuff. To make sure that they're entertained" He told me gently pulling my chin up so that I was looking into his eyes.
"You can be honest with me Shane. Are you doing this for the fans or for yourself?"
"I'm making sure the fans are entertained by doing something that I love. I missed all this stuff whilst I was gone. Listen I appreciate where you're coming from but I need this. So I promise that I'll stay safe and tell you if I'm hurt."
"Okay I think I can live with that! But maybe I could have a bit of a heads up." I told him before he softly kisses me.
"We'll see!"
Backstage segment
"Ladies and gentlemen please welcome my guest at this time. The chairman of WWE Mr. McMahon" Renee Young said as Vince walks into camera view. "Mr McMahon were you surprised by the physicality that we saw earlier on when we saw your son Shane put the undertaker through the announce table?"
"No I wasn't surprised at all I think that's a little taste of what you're going to see at wrestlemania. You see Shane is apparently not afraid of the Undertaker. Shane will do anything to win this match. When Undertaker said a few minutes ago that Hell in a cell is his house and wrestlemania is his yard, I think that's true but what he doesn't understand is that Shane doesn't want the house or yard, he wants the state he wants the nation, he wants the entire WWE universe. He'll do anything to get just that. So I'm not surprised at anything of this."
"If I was Shane though I would realise that all I've done is anger the Undertaker. An angry Undertaker is the kind of undertaker that I want to represent me, I want that anger to come out in hell in a cell"
At this statement Shane and I came into shot.
"You know my entire life I have watched you discard people like human waste. What's your problem you think you're like a god? No one can run the company like Vince McMahon. Well guess what this Sunday at wrestlemania the very stage that you created, I'm going to take 40 years of pent up aggression and hostility and I'm going to let it all loose. Because I'm going to be controlling Monday Night Raw. And let me tell you one other thing, the difference you stole this company from your father and I'm taking it from you." Shane said before we walked away sending one last glance at Vince.
"Well Shane O that was one of the best segments of the night." Vince said bring his son into a hug and sending a small smile my way before heading off to the production area once again.
Turning to me Shane pulled me into a kiss before saying "When can we head out of here?"
"I have a segment to do with Steph and then I'm all yours" I replied with a small.
"Okay then I'm going hang out with a few people whilst you do that and then we'll head out okay?"
"Perfect see you later" I answered departing after a small but loving kiss.
Backstage segment with Stephanie McMahon.
"Ladies and gentlemen please welcome my guest at this time Emma Teller" Renee Young introduced me as I once again walked into camera view.
"Long time no see Renee" I joked as I got comfortable in front of the camera.
"Emma you are a week away from facing one of the principle owners of WWE Stephanie McMahon at wrestlemania. How are you feeling about heading into the match?
"I'll be honest with you Renee I am feeling confident about our match however I would be a fool to underestimate Stephanie McMahon. We've seen a lot in recent weeks how she's dominated me because I got too over confident. However she may have stood tall over me in previous weeks at wrestlemania I will be the one who is getting my hand raised as the winner." I told Renee with a smirk however that smirk soon disappeared when I noticed Stephanie walking into the camera shot.
"That's real cute Emma! I think it's lovely how you have all these dreams that will never truly come true. You need to remember something Emma, I'm the better woman and I will always be the better woman. You'll never be a McMahon Emma. No matter how hard you try".
"You see Stephanie, maybe I don't want to be a McMahon! If I did want to be a McMahon it certainly wouldn't be one like you and your father! You are horrible and spiteful people who need to get a reality check. The world does not revolve around Stephanie McMahon and sooner or later you will learn that!"
"And sooner or later Emma you'll learn that Shane just uses you as a bed warmer. He'll soon leave you just like he did all those years ago" Steph spat at me causing my blood to boil. Just as she began to laugh I slapped her hard across the face and went to leave to area before she turned me around and tackled me to the ground throwing punches at me. However as she moved slightly it allowed me to get a hit in and smoothly grab Stephanie to place her under me. This also allowed me to get a few hits in myself before standing above her and saying "See you at Mania bitch" walking away to the cheers of the crowd.
This chapter is so bad!
I'm not sure if I'm going to continue this story to be honest. I really want to and I love being able to write Shane and have things to work with but over the chapters the views and reviews have been dropping so I take it people are no longer enjoying it. Anyway we'll see what happens.
