WWE: John Cena Broken.
Chapter Two: What's Next?
/
For the next few days, John would be in the hospital until the day finally came when he would be released. Nikki was always beside him every step of the way. After what happened at Battleground and last night on Raw, he would then start to wonder what would he do. For the first time in his life...Cena questioned his own resolve. He had no championship, no fans and no respect anymore. The only thing he had now was Nikki. John would wonder how the WWE and the fans are doing without him being present. But he now knew that he wouldn't be missed by the fans ever since his second loss to Kevin Owens. The drive home was silent for John was sleeping and Nikki was still in pain seeing her man in this self-pity state. Cena couldn't fathom his biggest downfall in a long time. This was much worse than him being used by Nexus. Worse then the beatings he took from "The Beast Incarnate" Brock Lesnar. And even his worst run in 2012 losing match after match by being screwed over more times than he could count. Cena felt out of place, for he couldn't understand that this was now his reckoning for only giving his life to the people that scorned him since 2002. People believed that he didn't belong in the ring with the likes of Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, Booker T, Big Show, RVD, HHH, Shawn Michaels, Brock Lesnar, Undertaker and ETC. Even with the young guys such as Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, Sami Zayn, Adrian Neville, Antonio Cesaro, Luke Harper, Bray Wyatt and Kevin Owens. The fans believed that all of them combined, Cena would NEVER compare to them. To them it was "What Has John Cena Done For Us Lately?" Finally after a long drive, they arrived to their home.

Nikki Bella: I'm gonna put you to bed, okay?
John Cena: Yeah...
As John laid there, he grabbed his laptop. He went on YouTube and saw a video that said "John Cena destroyed by Owens." And the video had positive views. 50 Million people watched and 15 thousand people liked the video with a thumbs up. This shocked John to the core. After everything he'd done for them for years and to them it wasn't enough. And of course, the comments were haywire. None comforting Cena in the slightest. This was indeed the biggest fall of John Cena. John threw the laptop down to the ground, taking many deep breaths in rage and balled his fists.
John Cena: After everything...all I've done for them...it was all bullshit...all of it. I only wanted them to believe in me. That I can prove myself in their eyes. After twelve years...nothing's changed. Everyone turned their back on me...everyone. All of them betrayed me...every last one of them. Well...
Cena nodded his head, understanding the situation he was in. He was even smirking.
John Cena: If they want the real John Cena...I'll give them the real John Cena. The whole world...is gonna get a taste of what they created in me...and they will have no one to blame...except themselves. "Laughs" Cena's gonna come back...in the worst way...the devil's way. My way...I will make them pay, for what they've done...to me. Game time bitches.

Six Weeks Later: Summerslam 2015.
/
Outside of the arena, a black Ford Mustang with dark tinted windows arrived. Inside was to hard to see due to the tint. The car door opened up and a man dressed in black came out. His face was covered in a dark ski mask. He walked slowly into the arena. In his hands were a steel pipe and a steel chain. It was clear that this masked individual had his sights on someone. Unfortunately, that someone was the holder of the Money In The Bank briefcase, The Celtic Warrior, Sheamus. The man hid from Sheamus's sight as Sheamus was walking to the lockeroom. As Sheamus made his way into the door, the masked man slowly followed him in the lockeroom. Slowly, he opened the door and slowly closed it so Sheamus wouldn't hear him. He then let down the chain dangling making clanging noises of steel. At this, Sheamus heard it and turned around, but was too late. The man attacked Sheamus with nothing but ruthless intentions and even bloodied him from his head. The man then started to choke Sheamus out with the chain but stopped before he slipped to unconciousness. He wanted to hurt Sheamus even more. Wanted him to suffer. And with that in mind, he grabbed the steel pipe.
? (Deep voiced): Your plans of becoming champion...have been cancled. Sucks to be you, Sheamus.
Then the masked man bashed the pipe on Sheamus's right knee really hard making the irishmen scream in agony and pain. He bashed it over the knee over and over until he heard a crack and a pop noise. He shattered Sheamus's knee. Broken and bruised, Sheamus moved rapidly and screamed as if he were being burned alive. The man then leaving his mark, took out spray paint and sprayed it on the wall. He then finally left with Sheamus still screaming. As he left the arena, few superstars, divas and crew walked passed him and were curious on who he was. Then they heard the continued screams of Sheamus and went into the lockeroom and saw him lying on the ground still in pain. They even saw the red spray painted words that dripped like bood and the words said "My Time Will Come Again." Then EMT's came to help Sheamus out of the arena. The masked man walked back to his car, got in and shut the door.
? (Deep voiced): Is it done?
? (Deep voiced): Like his career.
? (Deep voiced): Good. Now, let's see how things pan out the coming night.
? (Deep voiced): Sounds good.
After the conversation, the man started the car and drove away. Things were gonna change for the worst. The WWE and "he" had no idea what they've done.

The Next Night: Monday Night Raw
/
Michael Cole: Welcome everyone to Moday Night Raw! Michael Cole here with JBL and Byron Saxton and we are live! I want to bring everybody up to speed gentlemen. Last night at Summerslam, we got word that was officially confirmed that Mr. Money In The Bank, Sheamus, was attacked by an unknown assaliant. Sheamus's right knee was broken that night by an object that was taken by the perp and left the arena. Word now is that Sheamus will be out for a period of time no less than five to seven months. Also, we will have word from our COO Triple H as well from Stephanie McMahon about the Money In The Bank briefcase later tonight.
JBL: Terrible shame for Sheamus. Was very confident on becoming the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Now he goes from that to being out for a long time. The show though must go on.
Byron Saxton: Question is, who was it that attacked Sheamus and why?
Michael Cole: We'll get more information around this story but tonight, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar looks to give Seth Rollins his rematch here tonight. For the first time, Brock Lesnar will compete on Monday Night Raw after a decade! That starts...tonight!

Backstage with Triple H and Stephanie
/
Triple H and Stephanie were looking at the camera and were shown on the titantron.
Triple H: Stephanie and I would like to address the horendus events took place during Summerslam last night. WWE superstar Sheamus was brutally attacked by a mere masked coward, right knee broken. Unfortunate to say the criminal has yet to be capture and reprehanded.
Stephanie: And even more unfortunate, we are sad to also say that Sheamus had no choice, and we had no choice, but to for the first time ever, strip a WWE superstar of its prize. Sheamus has been stripped of the Money In The Bank briefcase.
Triple H: We only wish Sheamus, a speedy recovery and to get well soon. But as usual, the show must go on. Which is why this announcement we have, will have heavy implications for next week's show.
Stephanie: We're officially announcing that we will have an Fifteen Man Over The Top Battle Royale, where the winner will be awarded with possession of the prestigious Money In The Bank briefcase.
Triple H: Which means by next week, one lucky WWE superstar will gifted with the opportunity to have a chance to have a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at any time.
Stephanie: The superstars that will compete in the match are the following: Cesaro, United States Champion Kevin Owens, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Neville, Stardust, The Miz, The Big Show, The New Day, Mark Henry and Intercontinental Champion Ryback!
Triple H: Good luck to the competitors for next week's match. And thank you all for your attention.

Mid-match: Kevin Owens Vs. Dean Ambrose.
/
Owens and Ambrose physically were almost killing each other. If Owens wins, he have more momentum going in to next week's Raw in the Battle Royal for the briefcase. If Ambrose wins, he gets a victory over the U.S. Champion with a future title shot for the championship and possibly with even more momentum to win the briefcase next week.
The crowd were going nuts for this match. The crowd cheered Ambrose while Owens recieved the same reception with a few people jeering at him.
Michael Cole: Dean Ambrose now, delivering strikes left and right to Owens. And now Owens looking to take advantage by throwing strikes of his own.
JBL: These two superstars are desperate and I don't blame them one bit. With next week being for the Money In The Bank briefcase, who the hell wouldn't want that opportunity?
Byron Saxton: Next week, Sheamus's loss is the fifteen superstar's gain. To have the chance to cash in the briefcase for a World Championsip match.
Kevin Owens headbuts Ambrose hard sending Ambrose to the ropes who bounces back and delivers a clothesline to Owens knocking him down. The fans go wild and Ambrose sets Owens up for Dirty Deeds but Owens pushes him and delivers a hard crossbody laying Ambrose out and then does a flying body splash. Owens doesn't go for the cover for he wants to finish Ambrose off. He stalks Dean and then throws him to the ropes to deliver his Pump Up Powerbomb but Dean somehow reverses it and delivers a Dirty Deeds from mid-air.
Michael Cole: OH MY GOD!
JBL: WOW!
Byron Saxton: Did Dean just-
Michael Cole: Dean Ambrose delivering Dirty Deeds, from mid-air countering the Pump Up Powerbomb from the United States Champion!
Dean pins Owens. "Hook to the leg, count of two and no!" Michael said. "What an great match!" JBL said. "Kevin Owens, kicking out of Dirty Deeds and Ambrose can't believe it!" Michael said. "I can't blame Ambrose, that was the one trick left!" "What does he have left to defeat Owens?" Byron said.
Ambrose wasting no time, picked up Owens and wanting to deliver another Dirty Deeds but Owens pokes his finger in Dean's eye, pushes him to the ropes and delivers the Pump Up Powerbomb slamming Dean's head into the mat. "Pump Up Powerbomb!" There's the cover, and its over!" Michael said.
Lilian Garcia: Here's your winner, The United States Champion, Kevin Owens!
Kevin celebrates in victory, raising his championship in the air for the world to see. He leaves Dean Ambrose in the ring to head to the lockeroom. Dean Ambrose gets up but slowly. The crowd cheer for Ambrose and Owens giving them another great match for the ages. "Ambrose and Owens did a hell of a match, gentlemen." Michael said. "Yes indeed." "Another epic match for the fans to remember." JBL said. "Just simply awesome." Byron said. Dean nods his head to the crowd and thanks them for their support. He smiles and says "Next week, I know what I have to do." "That briefcase is as good as mine." He said with confidence. Before Michael could say anything else, behind the commentators in the crowd was the same masked man that attacked Sheamus and put him out of action. The masked man stood there for a while, waiting until Dean sees another masked individual coming from the entrance ramp. The second masked man however looked different, little small and skinny but hard to tell who it is due to this second masked person being covered in black. Ambrose was ready though. Ready to fight off this mysterious person.
Michael Cole: Guys, wait! Wait! Look! That-that's the masked man that took out Sheamus at Summerslam!
JBL: The intruder is here!
Michael Cole: The unknown assaliant took out Sheamus, forcing him to relinquish the Money In The Bank briefcase! And now it looks like, well he wants to take out another superstar!
JBL: He wants to take out Dean Ambrose! He wants some of the Lunatic Fringe!
Byron Saxton: But Ambrose ain't gonna run. The masked man doesn't have the chain or pipe he used on Sheamus last night!
However, the first masked man jumped from the crowd behind the commentators, jumping on the announce table and got in the ring without Ambrose knowing. "HEY!" Ambrose look out!" Michael said. But too late, then the masked men started attacking Ambrose brutally and viciously, punching and stomping on him.
Michael Cole: What the-two-two masked men are now attacking Ambrose!
JBL: What in the hell?
Byron Saxton: Thought there was only one guy!
Michael Cole: Two masked men! We know only one attacked Sheamus but here tonight, there's two!
JBL: This smells absolute bad news for Dean Ambrose.
The much bulkier masked man took out the steel pipe he used on Sheamus while the average masked man was still beating Ambrose. Then, it got worse. The masked man with the pipe smashed Ambrose's right knee real hard. And like Sheamus, Ambrose's right knee made a popping sound. Then the man took the pipe one more time and did it again until Dean's knee cracked. This made Ambrose howl in extreme pain. The crowd booed the hell out of them. The boos were deafening. Dean, screaming may have been in anguish but was also pissed off.
Dean Ambrose: "Screaming" F**k! Ahhh! Son of a bitch! AHHHH! F**king bastards!
The two then ran out of the ring into the crowd when they saw security run down the ramp along with doctors.
Michael Cole: First Sheamus, and now Dean Ambrose here tonight. The, I should say these masked assaliants have took apart another superstar in Dean Ambrose.
JBL: That's two superstars in two days, Michael. Who knows what else these two are gonna do? But more importantly, was is their agenda?
Byron Saxton: And who knows now if even Ambrose will even make next week? And the show is not even over yet!
/
Outside, the masked men got inside of the same car that they arrived in last night.
? (Deep voiced): No doubt he won't make to next week.
? (Deep voiced): Damn right.
? (Deep voiced): What now then?
? (Deep voiced): Hmm...let's head over to Smackdown this Thursday. I've been seen, now need to get myself heard.
The much stronger man then takes out what looks to be a contract. "And this is the key." "As they say, power is the key." the unknown man said.
? (Deep voiced): And I can't wait to taste it...every single fiber of it.
? (Deep voiced): Let's get the hell outta here.
And with that, they made their exit with the intention of going to Smackdown and deliver a message of power. A message they knew that HHH and Stephanie would have no choice but to hear, otherwise it meant more broken dreams and careers. Whether Superstar or Diva. How far will they go for whatever agenda they have?

Three Days Later: Smackdown
/
Tom Phillips: Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Thursday Night Smackdown! I'm here with Byron Saxton and WWE Hall Of Famer, Jerry "The King" Lawler and-wait what-
Tom what cut off when the screen on the titantron went static making noises. Then, the two masked men showed up on the screen.
? (Deep voiced): WWE Universe, good evening. This will not take long. I only wish to let the head people as well as the rest of the lockeroom to know what they're up against. But, somethings are better left unspoken...for now. But right now, this coming Monday next week, there is a special battle royal taking place where the winner will be awared the vacant Money In The Bank briefcase. That's why I'm here with a proposal, and a warning. See this?
The man holds up the contract.
? (Deep voiced): This contract here, guarantees me a spot in the battle royal. Seeing how Ambrose is unable to compete and Sheamus can't get it back. What I'm demanding is, either I get put in this match, or another on the superstars is next on the to do list. You know what? While we're at it, maybe we won't just target a superstar, perhaps maybe even one of the divas. Maybe a legend or hall of famer. Maybe, even the commentators or the camera crew or the announcer. What ever the case, Hunter, Stephanie, this contract will be at your door. And before this night is over...you will sign it and then next wek, it will be official that I enter the match. Or else, maybe I'll just target the two of you as well. Consider this proposal and warning on the table. Now, I'll be waiting. Don't try to screw with me. Have a good night...
Smackdown Backstage with Triple H and Stephanie
/
Stephanie: How dare that masked con artist threatens us? Whoever this bum is he's gonna be sorry he ever even attempted this stunt.
Triple H: I agree with you. Now, as crazy as it is, we're gonna have to let this guy whoever he is enter the match.
Stephanie: What? Are you sure about this? Hunter, who knows what motive he could have?
Triple H: I know. I know. But in order to stop him from possibly putting other guys on the shelf or even him thinking about attacking other personal, we have to do this. Now believe me this is not best for bussiness, but its best for the people that work here. Sheamus is gonna be out for like what, seven months? Who knows how long Ambrose will be out?
Stephanie: Then, I guess we have no choice.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the door, making Hunter and Stephanie jump slightly. There was like a crack showing on the door with a nail sticking inside. Triple H opens the door and no one is there, only the contract that is nailed on the door and words spray painted that said "Make The Right Choice." Triple H and Stephanie were seething, but had no say so they only obeyed and signed it. It was now set in stone. By Monday, the masked man would be in the match. And there was nothing they could do except see what happens come Monday night.
End Of Chapter Two. Also, I should've realized that Kevin Owen's move is called the Pop-Up Powerbomb, not Pump Up Powerbomb. Then again, however you call it, its effective. I'll have chapter three someday guys. Trust me on that. Just working on my other stories as well. Peace.
