Never Turn Back
'Look in my eyes what do you see? The cult of personality!'
CM Punk came out from backstage without Abigail. He would somehow convince her not to be at ring side with him in order to keep her safe from more harm. Boy, he didn't want to have a repeat of what happened last week. All he knew that her neck was recovering really well and that's all he need to hear. Right now he need to put his focus on the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry in a No DQ and No count out.
Abigail would be watching the match with Natalya from Kofi's locker room. A little later in the RAW supershow Laurinaitis forced her to be in a mixed tag team match despite knowing the injury she has on her neck. She didn't complain since she will be teaming up with Kofi against Daniel Bryan and Beth Phoenix. Kofi tried to get Abigail off the match, but it didn't work. Abigail just had to get though the match knowing that Beth might hit her neck.
Abigail had been nervous ever since Mark Henry was in the ring. Since there was No DQ and No count out, this was basicly a extreme rules match like the one in the main event that John Cena has to night.
No matter what the odds are Abigail had full faith of her boyfriend and no matter what she knew that he was going out on top.
It was a good match to start the show, because even though Mark Henry gave out his best against CM Punk...he used all the speed he had left into beatting Mark Henry. With the help of a black steel chair he won the match by pin fall.
Like always after the match, Chris Jericho called out CM Punk though the titration. It was been like a few weeks ago. CM Punk really had enough with Chris Jericho's ass clown attitude.
"Chris, like I said before this is not about me being the best in the world. It's about me kicking your ass!" He yelled out to Chris Jericho. "How about you man up and tell these things to my face?"
Chris chuckled at him. "I don't want to stand next to a drunken man! Listen, in Extreme Rules I will win the WWE Championship and that's not the only thing I'm taking, Punk."
CM Punk pulled out a confused face. "What the hell does that mean, Jericho?"
"I pulled some strings and Laurinaitis allowed us to fight for Ivy's contract . Whoever wins her contract as a manager and the WWE Championship. She got herself involved in this and she will pay the price!" Chris smirked at the angry looking CM Punk. Chris contiuned on, "Not only you have to fight for the WWE Championship also you have to fight for your girlfriend!"
Abigail was shocked as ever from the TV she was staring at. 'What the hell is he thinking?' There was no way CM Punk was going let that slide.
Natalya broke the silence when she said, "That ass clown...I hope Phil gets all the anger out and beats the crap out of him."
"You listen up and you listen good, Jericho. You are damn lucky that your over there," He pointed backstage. "...and not here. The two reasons why I'm going to win is two reasons."
Before he would speak, Chris Jericho interrupted him. "As long as you promise me that you will go to Extreme Rules as a sober man."
"Like I said before I got interrupted...One is that the Chicago is where I come from. My family will see your ass beaten. Two is there is no way in hell that I'm going to lose Ivy. She means everything to me." He dropped the microphone and left it as that when he left the ring. His theme started to play when he made his way to backstage.
While Kofi and Natalya had 'aw' looks on their face, Abigail looked like she could cry. She couldn't and had enough to push her tears away.
"Aw, you were gonna cry..." Kofi said.
"Shut up, road buddy best friend." Abigail stood up and walked out of Kofi's locker room so she could find CM Punk. Insteed, she bumped into someone else...
"Oh, sorry kiddo." Christian wasn't in his wrestling attire, but he was in his civilian clothes. "I just got here late."
Abigail smiled at him. "No worrys. You just missed CM Punk's Championship match against Mark Henry."
"Again?" Christain asked her.
"Yeah. No DQ and No count outs." She said, sighing. Her mixed tag team match was first, then Chris Jericho's match with Christain. She knew she was itching to fight Chris, so she better get ready. All she needed to do is to look for CM Punk.
"See ya, Abby. I gotta get ready to kick Jericho's ass." Christian grinned at her and left to go to his locker room to get ready. Abigail went her own way to the hallway and it turns out that she wasn't so far. He was sitting on a black metal box where the equipment were inside. He saw her sitting next to him and said, "You heard?"
"Yeah." She nodded at him.
"You think Chris is going to win?" CM Punk suddenly said, with the surprise look on Abigail's face. Although there was a hint of anger in his voice, but the question itself just surprised her.
"Of course not. I know you are going to win. That's what a girlfriend does. Believe in in their boyfriend." Abigail replied to him. She leaned back against the wall so she could stare at the ceiling above them. CM Punk would stare at her for a little while, remembering what happened when she protected him.
'That's what a girlfriend does. Believe in their boyfriend.' That was the sentence that ran though his mind.
The two didn't have much talk about since they were both in their own minds. When Kofi arrived looking for her and said that he needed to go talk to AJ. For whatever reason, Abigail didn't know about, but she didn't push the matter. CM Punk whispered to Abigail, "Thanks."
He kissed her and let her go off with Kofi to do her match. CM Punk was once again in his own world now, thinking of ways he wanted to beat Chris Jericho at Extreme Rules.
"Come on, AJ. Try and smile a little bit! Ever since Daniel broke up with you, your not...well you." Kofi said, patting her shoulder.
Abigail nodded at her best friend. "He's right. How about we play a little Pokemon Training Card game after the show to cheer you up?" AJ was about to speak when Dainel Bryan went up behind Kofi and Abigail. "Excuse me? Pokemon? Ivy, your the Diva's Champion and you still play with childrens card game?"
"No. Childrens card game is Yu-gi-oh, not Pokemon. Anyway, what are you doing here?" Abigail asked almost in anger.
"To see what is going on between you three. Are you trying to hit on AJ?" He asked like if he was offended or something. Kofi rised a brow when he asked that question. "That's not what you-"
"Just because I don't clearly want her that doesn't mean she's open session!" He yelled at Kofi. As long as Abigail knew Kofi, he was the calm and collected one. So this had to came into play with Daniel Bryan.
"Hey she clearly has the right to date anyone that is not a jerk to her, Daniel." Kofi said. "And in case you haven't noticed you are the one being a jerk to her." Kofi crossed his arms at him.
Abigail stepped in front of AJ and said, "Like I said before. I will put the lights out on you if you ever try to hurt AJ." The look that Kofi saw in her eyes with pure hate. Indeed, she didn't like her best friend being messed with. Daniel stared her down as well until AJ broke the bad feeling in the air by saying, "Daniel its not what it looks like..."
"AJ, I want you to take a good look when I win the mixed tag team match with The Glamazon. I'm going to put the LeBell Lock..no the YES! Lock on Kofi!"
Abigail growled at him, but after Daniel Bryan said this he started yelling 'Yes!' over and over again. AJ left the arena before anything else would go wrong. Abigail seemed to get annoyed by the repeats of yes from Daniel, but before she could yell at him Kofi said that they should leave and leave him.
When they are making their way to the ring they were meet by Teddy Long. "Hey, Ivy."
"Yeah?" Abigail turned to Teddy, which caught Kofi's attention as well.
"Laurinaitis wanted me to imform you that you will defend your title against Eve in Extreme Rules. In return, Eve allowed you to pick what type of match it is."
Abigail nodded at him. "Thanks, for the heads up, Teddy. In fact, I'll let everyone know what type of match it is after the mixed tag team match."
Teddy smiled and nodded at her, then he left the two as they made their way to the stage. "What type of match is it?" Kofi asked her.
Abigail whispered something in Kofi's ear that almost made his jaw drop. He looked at her in shock, "Are you sure?"
"Hell yeah."
"Guys, wait up!" Natalya's voice can be heard as she was trying to catch up to Kofi and Abigail. "Mind if I tag along?"
Abigail had no problem with that. She had to wonder...lately she has been managing her ever since she had that match with Chris Jericho. "Quick question. Do you want to form a tag with me? I'm only asking because your always at my side. Not that its wrong or anything, but its just that it seems weird since you and I used to be enemies..."
Natalya held out her hands. "Hey, I told you that I gave up on trying to make you join Diva's of Doom and I understand that. It'll be a good idea though, but I'm gonna be on my own this time. We're just helping each other out, right?"
Abigail smiled at her and nodded. The three of them headed off again, wasting no time going to the match up at hand.
Before the mixed tag team started, King and Cole were just talking about the match between Chris Jericho Vs CM Punk for the WWE Championship and for Abigail's contract. There were other news that they just got when RAW went to commercial break.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, by the orders of the the Smackdown and RAW GM Mr. Laurinaitis has made a diva's match at Extreme Rules. It will be Eve Vs Ivy for the WWE Diva's Championship! Not only that Eve has allowed Ivy to pick what type of match it is." Cole said as the match card for the diva's match for Extreme Rules played on the titration. As background music it was Adrenaline by Shinedown and that was the theme for the Extreme Rules PPV.
"If I was her King, I would let this be a normal match." Cole said.
"For once I agree with you Cole. Since Laurinaitis forced her to be in ring action with those cuts on her neck, King replyed to Cole.
'SOS!'
Kofi's theme hit and the group of three made it out from backstage. Only Abigail did Kofi's entrence with him, doing the boom thing with her hands two times them jumping for the last green fire works. This entrance got Abigail even more pumped up than ever. There was no way her hurt neck is going to keep her down and if that was Laurinaitis's plan to bring her down then he was going to take a lot more than this.
"And their opponents, being accompanied by Natalya from Ghana, West Africa and from Toronto, Ontario, Canada...the WWE Diva's Champion Ivy and Kofi Kingston!"
When they entered the ring, Natalya stayed at ring side looking at Beth Phoenix who didn't look happy she was at Abigail's side and not hers. Daniel wanted to start of the match, so Kofi had to start off as well. Both men started off great, because the match went back and forth all the time. So far there was only 2 close pin falls. One for Daniel and one for Kofi. Once she got herself tagged in, Beth got in the ring as well. Beth took all of her anger on her and started gaining the uper hand because of her hurt neck. Abigail didn't want to quit, so she used her speed to hit Beth faster with her legs. It was a good win when Beth was barely standing after a few kicks in the head and hit her with a Spear. Abigail won the match for her team.
On the titration appeared Chris Jericho. He seems to be doing this really often and this was no surprise to Abigail, Kofi, and Natalya.
"Congrats on you match, Ivy. Your the WWE Diva's Champion for a reason." He said. Abigail didn't get why he kept on appearing on the titration, but she wasn't no mood for him now. She grabbed a microphone and asked, "Alright, what do you want?"
"What I want is for you to join me once I become WWE Champion. I already exposed your boyfriend as the frawd he is! Make this easier for you and join me! I don't want you to be in anymore pain!" Oddly to Abigail, he sounded concerned.
Before Abigail can speak, Kofi and Natalya grabbed their own microphones. Abigail wasn't the only one mad about this whole thing.
"Look, Jericho. I don't know what gave you the right mind to just go and mess with my best friends. Don't get me wrong! I don't know what happened in the past that made you act like this, but what I know is that if you keep messing with my friends I'm going to step in!" Kofi stated to the WWE fans and Chris Jericho.
Natalya didn't let him speak when she added, "And you have the damn nerve to say that you don't want her to be in anymore pain?" Abigail could tell Natalya wasn't going to fall for the concerning act.
"Like I said on Smackdown, I didn't mean to hurt her. She was in the way." Chris Jericho told Natalya.
"And I'll do it again if I have too!" She yelled on the microphone. Kofi, Natalya, and Chris could see the fearless look in her eyes. That just told them and the WWE fans that she meant every word that came out of her mouth.
"I don't care what the wrestling news say, reporters say, or what you say for that matter! I won't give up on CM Punk no matter what!"
That just ended the conversation as everything became silent in the ring. Chris Jericho sighed and the titration turned off. Abigail sighed when she started to think that Chris Jericho might be concerned for her. She shoke her head when she almost forgot to say one more thing...
"By the way Eve. The type of match I picked is a Last Man Standing Match..." Abigail grinned. "...or you can say Last Woman Standing match."
