Rebirth-Chapter Nineteen-Hard Justice

TNA Hard Justice was less than an hour away, the pre-show had started, the wrestlers were warming up and Jason Cena was signing an autograph for a kid outside the Impact Zone.

"How's your head?" Asked the kid, Jason smirked, everyone had been asking him that since Senshi had dropped the warriors way right across his skull, in reality he was fine, but that didn't stop everyone from asking.

"Well it's still there" he replied before turning to Mara. "Isn't it?"

The kid smiled as Jason handed him the autograph, muttered a quick thank you then hurried back to his parents.

"That's what it's all about huh?" He asked Mara.

"What?"

"Signing autographs for kids, getting the people to love you, it's why I have the best job in the world".

"And the paycheck has nothing to do with it?"

"The money's just an added bonus".

"So you wouldn't mind working for free?"

"Yeah right! What would I live off?"

Mara just laughed and shook her head, they went their seperate ways as Jason went into the locker room, Chris, Jay and Sonjay were all getting ready for their matches, Jason hung his X Division title up on a hanger and began changing into his ring gear.

"Hey Chris" he yelled.

"Yeah?"

"Why are you even changing? You know Nash is gonna blow his quad walking down the ramp".

"He already has".

"Huh?"

"He's injured his neck... apparently... so I gotta face Shelley instead".

"So much for your night off".

Chris laughed. "Still glad I'm not you though".

"What? You know I'm not gonna lose this belt!"

"Yeah, and these two are gonna win American Idol" Jay and Sonjay glared at him but Jerry came in to give them a pep talk, he went to speak then sighed as the four wrestlers went into a huddle, leaving a space open for him.

"Ahh, what the hell?" He laughed joining them.

"So great pioneer of the X Division, what words of wisdom do you have for us lowly wrestlers?" Laughed Jason earning a slap from Jerry.

"Well if you actually listened to them you'd learn something" replied Jerry. "And I'm not really sure you 'lowly wrestlers' deserve to hear them".

"Aww c'mon Jerry, you know your talks are the highlight of the PPV".

"I thought you said playing Mortal Kombat in the dressing room was the..."

"Shut up Sonjay".

"Do you guys want a talk or not?" Asked Jerry, the group went silent. "Now you guys are the best the X Divsion has to offer... not counting AJ and Senshi..."

"Oh, thanks Jerry" muttered Jason.

"No problem, now Jay and Sonjay, see if you can actually beat Team Canada this time..."

"And if you can take D'Amore out I'd really appreciate it".

"Stop interrupting Jason, Chris, I know you're upset you can't kick Nash's ass but that doesn't mean you can't hurt him through Shelley".

"No loving in the Nash household... got it" smirked Chris.

"And kid, I don't envy you for taking on three guys, you're one crazy little son of a bitch but that's why we like you".

"Thanks, and I like all of you too".

"Now, if all goes well we're looking at three victories tonight..."

"I dunno, I wouldn't count on Jay and Sonjay that much".

"Screw you!"

Jerry laughed. "Anyway, you guys manage to win and I might join you guys in a game of Mortal Kombat later".

"Sweet" said Jason. "Now I can show you guys I can complete it" all the others laughed. "What?"

"Kid that's impossible, nobody beats Sub-Zero".

"Well, at least you tried".

Hard Justice was now underway and despite their best efforts Jay and Sonjay had lost to Team Canada again.

"My foot was on the rope!" Yelled Sonjay. "That ref is obviously Canadian!"

"It was Earl Hebner!" Replied Jason. "Canada's most hated, face it Sonjay, you lost".

"How come you're not ribbing Jay?"

"Jay didn't get pinned, and you react more".

Sonjay frowned and went to sulk in a corner, Jay and Chris just smirked at him and shook their heads, Jason sat back in his chair and went back to the monitor, JB had just caught up with AJ Styles.

"AJ Styles what thoughts do you have on the X Division title fatal four way match a little later on tonight?"

"My thoughts? Firstly I should be facing Jason Cena alone not sharing my shot with two other guys, I pinned Petey Williams in the triple threat match, and don't think I forgotten that Canadian Destroyer he gave me either, and I pinned Senshi on Impact in the tag match, both guys Jason brought in to try and help himself and I beat them. Now Jason can try and duck me all he wants but I'm coming for the X Division title, Senshi, Williams, hell even Jason, they're all great wrestlers, but while they're great, I'm Phenomenal and I am the next X Division champion!"

"Why do you do that?"

"Huh?" Replied Jason, glancing back over his shoulder.

Jay nodded at the belt. "Every time you have a match you just stare at it, why?"

"Keeps me focused".

Jay shrugged. "Whatever, anyway you're up".

Jason nodded and pulled the belt down then threw it over his shoulder, Chris had just won his match with Alex Shelley and the two passed each other in the doorway, they high-fived then Jason kept walking towards the entrance when JB came running up behind him.

"Whoa! Slow down JB you're gonna give yourself a heart attack, then who's gonna interview me?"

JB caught his breath. "Jason Cena in a few short moments you will defend your X Division title against three challengers, can you defy the odds once again?"

"Well JB I'm still a little dinged from Thursday but I'll put it to you like this, three challengers, one champion. I'm walking in with this and I'm walking out with it. Someone call nine-one-one Jason Cena's about to steal the show!"

With that he turned his back on JB and headed towards the tunnels, Mara joined him and the two walked to the entrance in silence, when they got there they could here Tenay and West going over the X-Factors for the match.

"AJ Styles has the momentum advantage, he's pinned Senshi and Petey Williams in the past few weeks, is he just one more away from the title?"

"Petey Williams was standing tall on Impact, can he do the same tonight and take the gold back to Canada?"

"And since arriving in TNA Jason Cena has yet to be defeated, tonight he could continue that steak yet lose his title, could that be the case tonight?"

As they finished speaking Team Canada's music hit as Scott D'Amore led the team captain to the ring, Williams looked focused and didn't even talk trash to the fans as he got in the ring. AJ Styles came out next and made a beeline for the ring, he tackled Williams and began unloading with right hands, not even bothering to wait for the other competitors, Senshi's music hit and he walked out, he was in no hurry to get to the ring but when he was halfway down the ramp Jason's music hit and the teen sprinted out, he ran around the ring and met Senshi at the bottom of the ramp kicking off a brawl between the two.

AJ and Williams were still exchanging punches in the ring while Jason and Senshi fought around it, the teen gained the advantage and threw Senshi in then joined him as the referee rang the bell to begin the match, Jason continued to hit Senshi with right hands then whipped him across the ring into a corner, the warrior came staggering out and Jason caught him with a backdrop then a dropkick to send him to the outside, Williams had now gained the advantage on AJ, he backed the Phenomenal One up against the ropes and charged but AJ ducked and backdropped him out, he then turned to find himself alone in the ring with Jason.

The two rivals stared each other down with smirks on their faces, then Jason went fo a right hand but AJ ducked and began unloading with punches, he backed Jason up against the ropes and hit a few chops then Jason swapped around and hit some of his own, he went for a whip but AJ reversed it and hit a big dropkick followed by a suplex for a two-count, he went to whip Jason into a corner but the teen reversed it, Jason charged but AJ got his foot up, he went for a clothesline but Jason ducked and hit a neckbreaker, he covered but Senshi and Williams broke it up, Williams took AJ to the outside while Senshi went at it with Jason. The warrior swung a few kicks but Jason blocked then then ducked a big roundhouse, he went for a superkick but Senshi caught his foot and spun him round, he went for another kick but Jason avoided it again, the teen smirked and cut a karate pose only for Senshi to kick him right in the face! Jason bounced back up and Senshi went kick crazy before hitting a big heelkick to the back of Jason's head, he covered but Williams broke it up.

Williams stomped on Senshi a few times then threw him to the outside, he waited for Senshi to stand then vaulted over the ropes, landed on the warrior's shoulders and hit a hurricanranna on the floor! Meanwhile AJ had returned and was stomping away on Jason, he went to pick him up but Jason broke free and hit some right hands, he went for a whip but AJ reversed it and tried an elbow but Jason ducked it and dived over the ropes! He flipped in the air and crashed down on Senshi and Williams! All three were down as AJ watched on, he waited until they had all staggered their way to their feet then jumped to the top-rope and hit a shooting star press on all three of them! Now all four competitiors were down but AJ recovered quickly, he rolled Senshi back into the ring then hit a springboard forearm for a two-count, Jason and Williams began exchanging punches on the outside as AJ slammed Senshi and hit a jumping kneedrop for another two-count.

Jason and Williams were fighting in front of the announce table and Williams went to whip Jason into it, the teen jumped from the floor to the table, pushed off and caught Williams with a flying clothesline! He quickly got up and climbed to the top-rope as AJ whipped Senshi, it was reversed but AJ ducked an elbow only to run into a cross-body! Jason covered but Senshi broke it up, he got a few kicks in on Jason then slammed him and hit an elbow drop, Williams came in and charged him but Senshi went for a whirl backbreaker only for Williams to slip out and hit a Russian leg-sweep for a two-count, AJ got up as Williams charged him but he ducked then hit a brainbuster! He covered but Williams kicked out, Jason was getting up and he charged him but Jason ducked and sent him to the outside, the teen then quickly knocked Senshi down then hit Williams with a shining wizard, he covered but Williams kicked out, the teen headed over to the ropes and vaulted over to take out AJ.

Senshi returned to his feet to find Williams still down, he went to hit a shining wizard like Jason had done but Williams ducked, Senshi popped the brakes then caught Williams with a big kick to the back of his head and covered for a two-count, on the outside Jason went to throw AJ into the crowd barrier but AJ reversed it then caught Jason with a clothesline to knock him down, he returned to the ring just as Senshi dropped Williams with a suplex, he beat AJ to the punch and went to do the same to him but AJ slipped behind him and hit a neckbreaker for a two-count, Williams charged him but AJ ducked and hit the Pele! He quickly picked Williams up and called for the Styles Clash, he went for it but Williams suddenly took out his legs and locked on the sharpshooter! AJ screamed in pain and reached for the ropes but Williams pulled him out to the middle of the ring, Senshi was up and went to break the hold but noticed Jason coming in and decided to take care of him first, it proved a bad decision as Jason suddenly took him down with a reverse-STO and put on the Koji clutch! Now it was a race between Jason nd Williams to see who could get their opponent to tap first!

Both AJ and Senshi squirmed towards the ropes but whenever AJ could get anywhere near the ropes Williams would pull him away, Jason couln't do that and Senshi finally managed to grab the ropes, Jason stomped him out of the ring then turned to Williams, the Canadian broke the hold he had on AJ and stepped forward only for Jason to take him down and put on the Koji clutch again! This time he put it on so tight Williams couldn't move, he tightened the pressure and Williams went to tap but AJ grabbed his hand! Williams couldn't tap but AJ broke up the hold, the Phenomenal One then brawled with Jason and hit a pumphandle gutbuster for a two-count before hitting a big dropkick to knock Jason to the outside as Senshi returned, he hit AJ with a few big chops then whipped him, he went for an elbow but AJ ducked it, jumped onto the ropes and hit a moonsault into a reverse-DDT! He couldn't cover because Williams jumped him when he got up and the two brawled, Senshi stayed down as Jason returned to the ring, he climbed to the top-rope and came down with a shooting star press on Senshi! He covered but Williams and AJ broke it up before the three.

AJ and Petey stomped Jason down as Senshi rolled to the outside, the two beat on Jason before turning on each other again, they backed each other into a corner and battled it out as Jason recovered, he charged towards the two and went for a stinger spash, AJ moved but he still hit Williams! AJ tried a cheap-shot but Jason hit a superkick! Then spun round and hit Williams with an impaler! He covered but D'Amore pulled Williams out from under him and out of the ring, Jason turned to AJ and hit a reverse-DDT before climbing the ropes, he went for a frogsplash but AJ moved! The teen popped a roll and spun round but Senshi came out of nowhere with a missile dropkick! He covered the teen but AJ broke it up, Senshi and AJ exchanged chops then Senshi kicked him to the outside, he quickly took Jason back down and climbed to the top-rope, he went to jump but Jason got up and cut him off, they battled it out on the top-rope and Jason went for a superplex but AJ broke it up, he hit Jason with a few shots to the back then powerbombed him down, he went to Senshi but the warrior kicked him away then came down on Jason with the warrior's way! He covered but AJ broke it up, he opened up with kicks on AJ and hit a big roundhouse to put him down, he quickly jumped to the top-rope ad went for the warrior's way again but AJ moved! Senshi landed on his feet but out of nowhere AJ hit the Pele! Senshi bounced up but AJ grabbed him and hit the Styles Clash! He rolled Senshi over and made the cover but Williams broke it up.

AJ and Williams brawled it out and AJ went for a whip, Williams reversed it and tried an elbow, AJ ducked it but when he went to hit the ropes D'Amore nailed him in the back with the Canadian flag! AJ staggered forward and Williams was there to meet him with the Canadian Destroyer! He covered but Jason just managed to break it up, he hammered away on Williams and whipped him into a corner, he went for the stinger splash but Williams moved! Jason came staggering out and Williams set him up for the Canadian Destroyer but Jason escaped and went for the C-Bomb! Williams just managed to slip off his shoulders and Jason went for a clothesline but missed, his momentum carried him into the ropes and D'Amore grabbed his foot, Jason spun round and grabbed D'Amore and pulled him up to the apron, he went to bring him into the ring but Williams jumped him, he set up for the Canadian Destroyer again but Jason took out his legs and catapulted him into D'Amore! The coach fell to the floor and Williams staggered back into the C-Bomb! Jason went to cover but noticed Senshi getting up, the warrior swung a kick for Jason's head but the teen ducked, lifed him up and dropped him with the C-Bomb as well! This drove the air out of him and he slowly went to make the cover not noticing AJ climbing to the top-rope and coming down with the spiral tap on Williams! The teen covered Senshi but the referee was watching AJ pin Williams, he went to call the ref over then heard a count, three seconds later the bell rang.

Jason smirked and stood up with his arms raised, he turned round then froze when he saw the referee raise AJ's arm! The confusion turned to anger as AJ's music hit and the realisation hit him, he went over and grabbed the referee as AJ rolled out of the ring and took the belt. Jason began yelling at the referee that he had made the cover first, Mara was in the ring pleading Jason's case as well but the referee was having none of it, Jason's arms went to his head in anger but then he seemed to calm down and held them out in an 'it's cool' gesture, the referee went to leave but Jason suddenly spun him round and nailed him with a right hand! He walked around the ring then looked to where AJ was, the Phenomenal One had a smirk on his face as he looked back at Jason, then he shrugged and held the title up high, this set Jason off and he screamed with rage, Senshi was trying to get up but Jason kicked him in the head, the teen then picked him up and dropped him with another C-Bomb! Williams was still down but Jason pulled him back up and dropped him with a C-Bomb as well! D'Amore came in the ring with the Canadian flag and tried to hit Jason with it but the teen blocked the blow! He pulled the flag out of D'Amore's hands and threw it out of the ring, D'Amore went to run but Jason brought him back, the TNA fans went nuts as Jason lifted D'Amore up and dropped the big load with a C-Bomb!

Jason looked around at the carnage he had caused in the ring and went to leave when he saw the referee stirring, he came back and pulled him to his feet but TNA security hit the ring only for Jason to knock them down and send them back out, he then set the referee up in a torture rack and lifted him up, he walked around with the official on his shoulders for a few seconds then sent him down with a C-Bomb! He smirked at the chaos in the ring then finally got out of it, he booted the steel steps off their hinges and slowly walked up the ramp with Mara tentatively following, he was already regretting his actions but then looked back at the ring and started laughing before stepping through the curtain.

No sooner had Jason made it backstage when Jim Cornette ran up to him.

"What the hell was that?"

"What was that? What was that? That jackass of a ref cost me my title Jim! I think I have a right to be upset!"

"I don't care how upset you are! You do not put your hands on TNA officials!"

"I'm sorry, but personally I think what I did is justified!"

"Justified? I tell you what's justified! Me and Dixie Carter spent months trying to convince the board of directors that you weren't a loose cannon then you go and pull that? Nice job, now all our asses are on the line! I hope you're proud of yourself!"

"So what are you gonna do?"

"I can't deal with you right now, as much as I'd like to, because I got Sting and Jarrett to sort out, so get your bags, get outta here now and I'll deal with you on Thursday! Now go".

With that he turned his back on Jason and walked off, leaving the teen and his girlfriend with very concerned looks on their faces.
