Hiya! Welcome back, last time: Jason lost the X Division title to AJ and wasn't too happy about it, the question is how will TNA management punish his actions? Let's find out!
Here We Go!
Rebirth-Chapter Twenty-Town Meeting
"Jason" Mara shook her boyfriend to try and wake him. "Time to get up".
"Don' wanna go school" he muttered.
"That's good, but you gotta get up".
"Why?"
"Because I'm up and I'm not suffering alone".
"Fair enough" he sighed as he rolled to the floor then stood up. "I'm not looking forward to tonight".
"Not many people would, but what's the worse that could happen?"
"Excuse me? Two words" he put on his best Vince McMahon voice. "You're Fired!"
"I don't think you'll be fired over this, fined definately, suspended maybe but not fired".
"Yeah you're right, but if I DO get fired we can live off your paychecks right?"
Mara sighed. "You're worrying about this too much".
"Just preparing for the worst".
"You're just gonna get a slap on the wrist".
He laughed. "Yeah, kinda like when your Mom says that she's not mad..."
"... just disapointed" she finished. "Yeah I got that a lot too".
"What did you ever do to earn that speech?"
"Tenth grade, bimbo cheerleader, fight, two teeth removed".
"Damn".
"Yeah that's what everyone else said".
Jason smirked. "Well I better get showered, can't get fired without looking my best".
Mara sighed. "When did you change your name to Eric Young?"
Jason wasn't surprised to see that he wasn't booked in a match that night when he arrived at the Impact Zone, Cornette wasn't around so he went to the locker room to sit with Chris and the guys, when he entered the locker room all three broke into applause.
"Ladies and gentlemen the biggest hothead walking the face of the Earth... Jason Cena!"
"Fuck you Chris".
"Hey lighten up man, it was just a joke!"
"Well I'm not in the mood for joking, I could be out of a job".
"Nah" said Sonjay. "They'll understand, the ref messed up, you lost the title, I never got my shot by the way, you'll just get a fine, or at worst a suspension".
"So everyone keeps saying".
"Look kid, chill out" said Chris. "So you hit a referee, so you C-Bombed D'Amore, almost everyone here has attacked a ref".
"Yeah but did Jim Cornette and Dixie Carter stick their heads on the block to get those guys a job?"
"No but..."
"You know what? I ain't sitting here waiting to find out, I'm gonna find Cornette and get an answer".
With that he left the locker room and went in search of Cornette, he wasn't in his office, any of the locker rooms or anywhere else he could think of, just when he was about to give up he ran into Terry Taylor.
"Terry, where's Cornette?"
"Jim? He's not here yet".
"What? The guy says he's gonna deal with me tonight and he hasn't shown up?"
"He's not here YET, didn't you here? All the roster has to go out to the ring later so he can sort some issues out, he must be planning to deal with you there".
"Great, so now I'm gonna get fired in public".
"Don't start kid, I'm getting enough of that from Eric Young, anyway I don't think Jim's gonna... oh God" he trailed off as the paranoid member of Team Canada approached them.
"Terry, tell me honestly I can take it, am I getting fired tonight?"
Terry sighed. "Look Eric, I don't know OK? Talk to him" he pointed at Jason. "Maybe he can help you out".
He turned and walked away leaving the two looking after him.
"So" began Eric. "Do you know if I'm getting fired?"
"Nope" replied the teen. "Why are you so worried anyway? You're not the one who beat up a referee, if anyone's gonna get fired it's me".
"Really?"
"Maybe".
"So I'm not getting fired?"
"Doesn't look like it".
"Oh... wait, maybe they're gonna fire both of us".
"Eric..." too late, Eric had already begun freaking at the prospect of being fired, Jason sighed and sat down, this was going to take a while.
A short while later Cornette arrived and walked right out into the arena, he wasted little time in calling out the TNA roster, soon the Impact Zone was full of wrestlers, Cornette got down to business.
"Now the first thing that I need to take care of concerns the outcome of the X Division title match last Sunday, Jason Cena would you please join me in this ring".
Jason gulped and walked towards the ring, Chris, Jay and Sonjay all patted him on the back and Mara joined as he got in.
"Now, I told you on Sunday that there were gonna be consequences for your actions, more specifically your actions towards referee's, now I don't care how mad you are about a decision, you do not put your hands on referee's. Now when I signed you I told you how management weren't gonna give you a lot of chances, and they were pretty steamed about what you did, but they did admit you have made an effort to improve your anger issues, so as a direct result of your actions you are hereby put on probation!"
Jason did his best to look disapointed but on the inside he was cheering, he wasn't fired!
"Now the terms of the probation are this, for the rest of the month you will not be paid, you are also fined a weeks wages, and should you so much as touch another TNA official you will be removed from the roster effective immediately, is all of that clear?"
"Yes".
"Good, now before you go I have another thing to settle with you, now while what you did at Hard Justice was completely out of line I cannot deny it was a poor decision by the referee in question, you did pin Senshi before AJ pinned Williams, I can't deny that hell I don't think AJ can either, so, and management are gonna be pissed at me but I don't care, at No Surrender it's gonna be you and AJ Styles, one more time, for that X Division campionship! But if you screw up again I won't just take that shot away I'll fire you myself! Now get out of the ring because I have other things to deal with".
Jason slowly got out of the ring and went to stand with Chris, the other issues Cornette had to deal with was makig a rematch between Sting and Jarrett for Bound for Glory but Jason was too stunned to listen, in the space of a minute he'd gone from fearing for his job to getting a rematch for the title! He looked up at the sky and offered a silent thank you to whatever it was that had got him through this. When he looked down he saw Jarrett and Sting brawling it out in the ring, suddenly everyone around him was fighting, in the ring Steiner, America's Most Wanted and Team Canada were all putting a beating on Sting, Rhino and AJ, Chris, Jay and Sonjay pushed past him and dived in the ring closely followed by the rest of the roster, he followed and began swinging for anything that moved, suddenly he came across AJ, the two stared each other down then sidestepped as Steiner charged them, suddenly they were both punching away at Steiner and double-clotheslined him to the outside! The ring had practically been cleared and Jason turned to AJ only to be kicked in the gut and dropped with the Styles Clash! AJ grabbed the belt and stood over his challenger to send a message about the rematch at No Surrender.
