Here We Go!
Brotherly Hate-Chapter Four-A Rough First Night
"He is... Jason Cena!"
Jason's heart was in his mouth during the half-second of silence that followed the promo, questions jumped in and out of his mind in rapid fire succession, would they cheer him? Boo him? Go silent? Riot? His questions were answered as a huge cheer rang out through the arena! It was so loud he wondered if maybe Sting had decided to step into the arena, his new music hit and he began walking up the tunnel, he stepped out into the arena and looked to the crowd, he noticed a few people booing or giving him the finger but they were drowned out by the rest of the TNA fans, if he hadn't been pumped before he certainly was now as he walked down the ramp slapping hands with the fans, Matt was watching on with a mixture of amusmant and concern as Jason walked over to the announce table where Mike Tenay and Don West were sitting, he shook hands with them then jumped on the table so he could slap hands with the fans sitting above them, as he did he could hear Tenay and West giving commentary on the situation.
"Can you believe this Don?" Asked Tenay. "Did you ever think we'd see the day that a Cena wrestled in the Impact Zone!"
"Mike!" West yelled back. "I never thought I'd see it, and I certainly never thought he would get cheered for doing it!"
Jason contiued to walk around the six-sided ring slapping hands with the fans before finally hopping in the ring with Maverick Matt, he was talking to Traci looking a little agitated, Jason climbed on the ropes and posed for the crowd again before dropping down and waiting for Matt, his music stopped allowing him to hear the crowd, he could make a small 'YOU GOT FIRED!' Chant from the back but most of the fans drowned it out with a cheer, Matt handed the X Division belt to Traci and finally turned to Jason. They both used this as a chance to mesure the other up as they circled each other, Matt smirked after a few seconds and offered his hand, rather naively Jason stuck his out as well only for Matt to jerk his away, Jason laughed at his own stupidity as Matt celebrated his success, he was no Shawn Michaels, eventually Matt turned back to him and the referee called for the bell.
The X Division champion and the TNA newcomer circled each other again, they went to lock up but Matt backed off and sized Jason up again, the teen just stood there waiting for him, eventually Matt came forward and they locked up, Matt won the initial battle and slapped on a headlock, Jason responded by throwing him off the ropes only for the Maverick to hit him with a sholderblock, he then hit the ropes but Jason went under, then over, then caught him with an armdrag, Matt jumped to his feet but Jason caught him with another then rolled him up for a two-count, they both jumped up and Matt tried a takedown but Jason reversed it into another roll up for another two-count, Matt tried throwing a punch but the teen dodged and got another roll up, Matt kicked out and retreated to one of the six corners to regain his composure.
Jason could feel his confidence growing by the second as he waited for Matt to come back, he laughed as the crowd broke into a chant of 'YOUR BROTHER SUCKS!' Then turned and nodded in agreement, Matt came out of the corner and got in Jason's face, they just stared at each other for a few seconds then Matt shoved him, Jason just laughed then decked him with a punch that sent him back to the corner, finally Matt came back and locked up with him again, he shoved Jason back into a corner, the referee called for a break and Matt tried a bitchslap but Jason blocked it and decked him with a punch again! Matt bounced back up and Jason met him with more right hands before whipping him across to a corner, Matt came staggering out and Jason met him with a backdrop then hit a dropkick, he chased after Matt and hit some chops then whipped Matt again, the Maverick used the ropes to put on the brakes and rolled out of the ring as Jason posed for the crowd again.
On the outside Traci tried to calm the raging Maverick, how could he be letting that punk outdo him? He was a WWE reject out of his league yet here he was out wrestling him, him! The X Division champion! He hopped back up to the apron and entered the ring, they went to lock up but Matt kicked Jason in the gut and began opening up with right hands, he went for a whip but Jason reversed it and caught him with an elbow, Matt bounced back up and Jason clotheslined him to the outside, the teen climbed to the top-rope and waited for Matt to stand then dived off the top towards him but Matt moved causing him to crash onto the conrete floor. Matt was quick to gain the control and began stomping Jason down on the floor, he picked Jason up and dragged him over to the announce table, he pointed to the X Division belt then slammed Jason's head into the table, he then dragged him back to the ring and slammed him on the concrete floor, before rolling back in the ring, he waited for Jason to stand before running forward and diving over the ropes onto him! He quickly recovered and rolled the teen back into the ring and covered for a two-count.
Matt jumped up after the kick out and stomped Jason down again, he pulled the teen to the corner and began chopping away at him before whipping him across the ring, Jason staggered out of the corner and Matt hit him with a backbreaker for a two-count, Jason pulled himself up but Matt caught him with a clothesline then hit a suplex for another two-count, Jason tried to get up but the Maverick quickly took him back down with a DDT for a two-count, he climbed to the top-rope and waited for the teen to get back up before coming down with a missile dropkick for yet another two-count. Jason retreated to a corner and Matt followed, he gave the teen a few chops then whipped him across the ring, Jason reversed it and charged but ran into the Maverick's boot, he reeled away then Matt grabbed him and hit a fisherman brainbuster! He covered but the teen kicked out at two again.
Matt contiued to stomp Jason down before hitting a neckbreaker to put him down, he went to the corner and started climbing, he went for a moonsault but Jason moved, he flipped through and landed on his feet and Jason charged only to get dropped with a reverse STO for another close two-count, he went for a whip, Jason reversed it but he ducked an elbow and used the ropes to hit a springboard cross-body but the teen rolled through it! He covered but Matt kicked out at two and clotheslined him down when they both got up. He whipped Jason again and hit a backbreaker but held onto the teen so it turned into a submission move, after a while he broke the hold himself and picked Jason up, he slapped the teen in the face a few times then whipped him, he tried an elbow but Jason ducked it then came off the opposite ropes with a flying forearm followed by a nip up! Matt tried to get up but Jason put him down with a clothesline, then a dropkick and tried a whip, Matt reversed it and tried a clothesline but the teen ducked, Matt's momentum caused him to hit the ropes and run right into a powerslam! He rolled to his knees as Jason jumped up and hit the shining wizard! he covered but Matt kicked out at two, he tried another whip but Matt reversed it again and went for a tilt-whirl slam but the countered into a flying headscissor then hit a dragon suplex for another two-count, Matt retreated to the corner to get up and Jason followed with a stinger splash followed by a neckbreaker for another two-count, the teen went to the top-rope and went for a flying cross-body but the Maverick suddenly hit a dropkick to knock him out of the air! He covered but Jason kicked out.
Matt wanted to end the match quickly now, he picked the teen up and hit a back suplex, he went to the top-rope but Jason cut him off, they battled it out over the top-rope for a few seconds and Jason went for a superplex, Traci jumped up on the apron and held on to Matt allowing him to punch his way free, he then grabbed Jason and hit the fisherman brainbuster off the top! He slowly rolled into a cover but Jason put his foot on the bottom rope. Matt couldn't believe it and went to the outside, he grabbed his X Division title belt and started to bring it back to the ring but the referee cut him off, they began arguing and Matt pushed the referee away just as Jason came flying through the ropes and took him out! The teen picked him up and rolled him back into the ring and hit a reverse DDT for a two-count, he then climbed to the top and went for a frogsplash but Matt moved, he rolled through on landing and charged but Matt hit an atomic drop and a DDT, he then climbed the turnbuckle and hit an elbow drop, he covered but again the teen kicked out at two. Matt shook his head in frustration then climbed to his feet and began tuning up the band for his cousin's finisher, he started forward but the teen caught his foot, spun him round and hit the impaler! He covered but Matt kicked out at two.
Now it was Jason's turn to look frustrated, he stomped Matt down and began climbing the turnbuckle again, Traci jumped up and grabbed his foot, he knocked her down but Matt was now up and the two began brawling over the top-rope, Matt looked like he was going to hit a top-rope hurricanranna but Jason blocked, both were now standing on the top-rope exchanging right hands when Jason caught Matt off guard and hit a knee to the gut, he then took Matt all the way down with a top-rope X-Factor! He covered but Traci put the Maverick's foot on the rope, Jason shot here a glare before taking point behind Matt and getting ready to hit his new finisher, he got Matt in the tortutre rack position and lifted him up but before he could hit it Traci grabbed his foot, the teen lost his balance and fell with Matt landing on top of him, Traci held his feet down as the referee began counting but at two he saw what she was doing, he began admonishing her allowing Matt to grab his title belt, he swung for Jason's head but the teen ducked and kicked it back in his face! Matt bounced back up and Jason set him up for the torture rack powerbomb (A.N. Name needed) again but Kazarian, Matt's partner, ran in and took out his legs, the referee saw this and called for the bell, disqualifying Matt and giving Jason a victory on his debut match.
Kazarian began putting the boots to Jason to heavy boo's from the TNA crowd, although the teen couldn't be sure they were for his attacker or for the fact that a match had ended in a DQ on a TNA PPV, Kazarian picked Jason up and set him up for the Wave Of The Future but Jason escaped and hit a superkick to knock him down, he picked him up and put him in the torture rack position but Matt jumped him from behind, the two began beating Jason down then whipped him only for the teen to come back with a flying clothesline to both of them, he nipped up again and began hitting right hands on both of them, he clotheslined Kazarian down then hit another to send Matt to the outside, he then grabbed Kazarian and hit the torture rack powerbomb! He stared down Maverick Matt, who had decided to take his belt and Traci and get the hell outta dodge leaving Kazarian to the teen's mercy, he called Mara into the ring and told her to count the three as he covered Kazarian, the confused Mara complied then raised his arm for the crowd.
"What was that all about?" She asked.
"I'll be damned if I don't pin someone on my first night here".
"Fair point" she shrugged as they turned to stare down Matt and Traci, who were taunting them with the X Division title belt, Jason laughed.
"Think he knows what Cornette has planned for him?"
"Nope".
After Jason had returned to the backstage area he grabbed his bags from Cornette's office, he wasn't there but he guessed he'd see him before he left. Now it was time to face the TNA locker room, something he couldn't tell was good or bad, he was just about to enter the room when a familair voice rang out.
"Typical".
Jason smirked. "How's that Chris?" He asked turning to face his former Independants rival.
Chris Sabin returned the smirk. "Not once, since we started doing monthly PPV's has there ever been a DQ, you show up and five minutes later there's a DQ win, you always gotta be different don't you?"
"I like drawing attention to myself Chris, you should know that quite well".
The two shook hands. "So, this your new home now?"
"Yup, you're stuck with me".
"Well tha's good, now I get to prove that I should have won that best of five series".
"Official result was a draw Sabin, you should have pinned me quicker in that last match".
"There's no way that was thirty minutes! You obviously paid the ref to call a time-limit draw if you were gonna lose!"
"What? With the peanuts I was getting paid back then? The ref was earning more than me!"
Chris laughed. "So you wanna meet the guys?"
"Why not?"
Chris opened the door and led Jason inside, there were only a few of the guys in there, Chris led him over to where two of them were sitting either side of a huge trophy.
"Jason, meet two of the three guys who helped me win the World X Cup for the USA, Sonjay Dutt" Sonjay stood up and shook the teen's hand.
"Welcome to TNA kid".
"And Jay Lethal" Jay did likewise.
"Where's guy number three?"
"Alex?" Said Sonjay. "Probably off making a gay-porn video with Kevin Nash, all the two of them can do really".
Jason laughed, Chris slapped him on the back. "So tell us, is it true that they have a dress code up North?"
"Dress code, wrestlers court, the works".
"See? Down here we wear what we want, when we want, and we don't have to kiss the verterans asses".
"Not that you haven't tried Chris" came a voice from behind them, Jason turned to find himself facing the man called Sting, he looked the teen over for a few seconds.
"Stinger splash huh?"
Jason shrugged. "It does it's job".
Sting nodded. "Well, they say imatation is the sincerest form of flattery, nice match out there kid, I'll be watching you".
With that he shook Jason's hand then turned and headed out of the locker room, Jason went to turn back to Chris, Jay and Sonjay when Cornette entered the room and came over to him.
"Well, I think that little performance got about half the board of Dixie's back, nice job kid".
"Thanks, by the way about what we said about the stipulation, DQ still counts as a win right?"
"Don't worry kid, you'll get your title match next month at Slammiversary, and on you'll be facing Kazarian on Impact OK?"
The teen nodded. "No problem".
"And I want you to do a sit down interview with Mike Tenay as well".
"Gotcha".
"As for you three, congratulations for winning the World X Cup, I'll see you get rewarded for it" with that Cornette left the room, Jason turned back to the three X cup winners.
"So, what do you guys do for fun around here?"
