Here We Go!
Rebirth-Chapter Thirty Seven-Genesis Part 2
"JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!"
The X Division pioneer laughed and gave a bow before sitting down. "Thanks guys, it's great to be back."
"If that's what you're like in your first match Chris better watch out" smirked Sonjay, Chris gave him a glare then patted Jerry on the back.
"How you feeling old man?"
"Tired" answered Jerry. "And less of the 'old man' Chris, I'm only in my forties."
"Well we're in our twenties... except Mr. I'm-eighteen-and-already-a-main-eventer over there, so you're an old man compared to us."
"You'll be my age one day Chris."
"Ahh that's ages away."
Jason smirked and sat next to Sonjay and Jay. "Good job out there guys, Sonjay, you actually won!"
"Haha, very good kid, I'll remember that when I'm next in the ring with you."
"Whatever, I'll just squash you again, right Jay?"
"Keep me out of this man."
"See? Jay doesn't think so."
"He said keep him out of it, not that he agrees."
"What's up?" Asked Chris sitting with the group.
"We're arguing over whether or not I could squash Sonjay."
"Kid, if anyone can squash anyone around here it's me."
"Really?"
"Yup, in fact I could beat all three of you without thinking about it."
Jason smirked at the other two and stood up, Jay and Sonjay copied him and they stood in a circle around Chris.
"You got five seconds to take that back Chris."
"But that would make me a liar" smirked Chris, Jason laughed and turned to the others.
"OK get him!"
Before Chris could move the three all grabbed him and pulled him up.
"What should we do with him?" Asked Sonjay.
"The shower!"
"Yeah!"
"What? Alright! I take it back! I was kidding!"
"Too late Chris" laughed Sonjay. "Jay, go turn on the shower."
"Jerry! Help Me!" Jerry stood up.
"Hold it right there Jay" Chris grinned at Jason and Sonjay. "I'll turn the shower on, you get his bag."
"What?" Yelled Chris as Jason and Sonjay started dragging him towards the shower. "My street clothes are in there"
"Looks like you'll be walking back to the hotel in your trunks then" replied Sonjay. "Don't forget the belt Jay."
"C'mon guys, we were on team USA together!"
"I wasn't" smirked Jason, Chris made one last effort to escape.
"Jerry! I'll give you a title shot!"
"I'm getting one anyway" answered the pioneer just as someone knocked on the door, everyone froze as Christian Cage and Tomko walked into the room, Christian looked at the scene in front of him and turned to leave again.
"If this is a bad time..."
"Be with ya in one sec" said Jason as he and Sonjay dragged Chris out of sight, seconds later there was a scream followed by Chris yelling "Cold!"
"Nice one guys" smirked Jerry as they walked back into the locker room, Chris followed a few seconds later dripping wet carrying his bag and belt.
"I hate you guys" everyone just shrugged.
"So what's up?" Asked Jason turning to Christian and Tomko.
"Well, actually I wanted to talk to you kid."
"Go ahead."
"We're cool right?"
"Yeah, no problem."
"Well I just wanted to make a little deal with you kid."
Jason sighed. "What kind of deal?"
"You see in the match tonight, I figured you could, y'know, help me out a little."
"Define a little."
"Well..."
"He wants you to let him win" said Tomko, Christian spun round.
"Tomko!" Jason started to turn away. "Whoa! Kid, think about it, you're young, you got a long career ahead of you, you don't need the World title just yet."
"I don't?"
"No, like I said you're young, you're still learning, and by the way I can help you with that too, I could take you under my wing and make and make you a star just like I did with Tomko, isn't that right big man?"
"If by star you mean someone to bail you out when you need it then yeah" answered the big man, Christian gave him another glare.
"Funny isn't he? But like I was saying, you help me out tonight, and I'll let you roll with me and Tomko... your girlfriend too, and we'll go all the way to the top, no disrespect to the little clique you got here I mean, I love Doink the Clown just as much as anyone" he pointed at Jay. "That's a good look for you."
"It's Randy Savage" muttered Jay.
"Oh, well he's cool too, and you got the experience with Grandpa here" he patted Jerry on the shoulder. "Remember the time we wrestled up North and I beat you?" Jerry gave him a look. "Me neither."
"Want me to turn the shower on again?" Muttered Jay, Jason shook his head.
"Nah, let him bury himself some more."
"And you got the X Division champ here, nice belt, not as nice as the one I'm gonna win but it's cool, and..." he trailed off when he saw Sonjay. "Don't know who you are, but I'm sure you're a great kid, anyway, what I'm saying is if you help me out, I'll make it worth your while."
"Interesting, how come you weren't like this with me up North?"
"Well, to be honest I didn't think you were all that cool, guess I was wrong huh?"
"Yeah you were" laughed Jason. "Y'know it's a pretty good deal, but I just have one problem. See I'm the kind of guy who wants the World and wants it Yesterday, so I don't see how this helps me."
"Well..."
"And tell me this, Rhino's an old buddy of yours right? How come you haven't made this offer to him?"
"Well... I... well Rhino's already a star, I'm all about taking young guys and making them stars, right Tomko?"
"Whatever you say Christian."
"OK, have you made this offer to AJ?"
"Yes" said Tomko before Christian could speak.
"Well... yeah we did."
"And he said?"
"He... uhh he said..."
"Tomko?"
"He said..."
"He didn't say yes but he didn't say no" cut in Christian. "So he might be in on it as well so you might wanna hurry up if you want a spot."
"And here I was thinking it was exclusive to me."
"Don't worry kid, me and Tomko are like family, and if you join we could be like brothers, hell I could be like a father to you... OK I'm not that old, a father-figure then, whadya say?"
"I was with you until that last part, you see Christian, I already have a brother, that didn't work out too well did it? I already have a Dad, that didn't work out either, and I already have a father-figure too, you might know him his name's Shawn, and if you know him you know what he's done for me."
"Yeah, well..."
"So y'know what? I'll see you out there, and if it comes down to us, then I'll put you down just like everyon else I've faced, good luck Captain."
Christian stared him down then turned and left, Tomko exchanged a smirk with Jason before following him, Jason sat down next to Sonjay and laughed.
"Good news, you're now the second dumbest person I know."
"This is it kid."
Jason nodded and stood up, he took a deep breath and began slapping hands with the others on his way to the door.
"Good luck kid."
"Thanks guys."
"Don't forget who your friends are when you're main eventing Turning Point."
"How could I forget you guys? You just as nuts as I am."
Chris smirked. "Not just as nuts kid, but we're right behind ya."
Jason laughed and stepped out the door, true to her word Mara was waiting, JB was there as well with a mic.
"If anyone jumps me you're gonna do a better job than you did with her right?" JB shrugged and went to start talking but Jason cut him off.
"Let me guess. Jason Cena how do you feel about your number one contenders match in a few minutes right? Well JB I'll tell ya, I'm nervous, this is a big opportunity, one that someone like me shouldn't be getting. But at the same time, I'm ready, I'm ready to step up to the next level, I've spent the past few months proving my worth to TNA management and I think I've done more than enough to show that I deserve a run at the top. It's gonna be tough, I know that, but it's like I said a few weeks ago, right now it's 'Showstealer' time, and Christian, Rhino, AJ and anyone else who thinks they can stop me or that I don't deserve this shot there's just two things you can do about it, nothing... and like it!"
With that he thrust the mic back at JB and walked off towards the tunnel with Mara in tow, he jogged on the spot to pump himself up then his music hit, he looked at Mara and gave her a nervous smile before walking down the tunnel and out into the arena, he posed for his pyro to go off then walked down to ringside slapping hands with the fans, he climbed into the ring and sat on the top-rope to wait for his opponents. Rhino's music hit and he sprinted down to the ring, he dived in and walked straight to the corner Jason was in and stared him down, Jason stared back and neither moved as AJ's music hit, he walked down to the ring and posed when he got in and smirked at the two guys in there with him as Christian and Tomko came down the ramp, when 'Captain Charisma' got in the ring all four wrestlers stepped forward and stared each other down as the referee rang the bell.
Christian made one last attempt to gain an advantage, talking to all three and offering a handshake, Rhino and AJ just stared him down but Jason seemed to be considering it, Christian held out his hand and Jason shook it! Christian smirked and went to turn to the others but Jason suddenly pulled him back and floored him with a right hand! He stood over Christian and shrugged then Rhino jumped him, the 'War Machine' began pounding on Jason while AJ just stepped forward and began putting the boots to Christian, Rhino went to whip Jason but the teen reversed it and hit him with a backdrop followed by a dropkick to send him to the outside, AJ pulled Christian up and whipped him towards Jason who ducked and backdropped him over the top-rope onto Rhino!
Jason waited until Christian and Rhino were getting up and went to vault over the ropes but stopped and turned round to face AJ, the two stepped forward and smirked at each other then locked up, Jason quickly put AJ in a headlock but AJ pushed him off only for the teen to run through him with a shoulderblock, he hit the ropes while AJ went under, then over and hit an armdrag, Jason jumped to his feet and hit one of his own before rolling AJ up for a two-count, they both got up and Jason went for a suplex but AJ countered into a small package for a two-count, they got up again and Jason tried a whip but AJ reversed it, he went for a backdrop but Jason leapfrogged it and went to hit the ropes only for Christian to pull them down causing the teen to topple to the outside. He pulled Jason up and hit some right hands as Rhino got up and hit some of his own, AJ watched them for a second then jumped to the top-rope and hit a shooting star press to the outside on all three of them!
AJ quickly jumped up and stomped on all three of his opponents then pulled Christian up and threw him back in the ring, he followed and hit some right hands then charged but Christian sidestepped and threw him out, he landed on the apron, punched Christian away then hit a springboard shoulderblock for a two-count, on the outside Rhino was pounding on Jason, he threw the teen towards the crowd barrier but Jason jumped onto it then hit a flying clothesline! He stomped Rhino down then jumped in the ring as AJ hit Christian with a suplex, he snuck up behind AJ and set him up for the C-Bomb but AJ slipped out and set him up for the Styles Clash! He went to lift the teen up but Jason took out his legs and flipped into a pin for a two-count, AJ powered out and twisted Jason into a pin of his own for another two-count then Jason pulled him into another for yet another near fall, the two stared each other down for a second allowing Rhino to come in and run through them with a double clothesline.
Rhino stomped both men down then pulled Jason up and threw him into a corner and hit a running spear, AJ was trying to get up but the 'War Machine' cut him off and hit a running powerslam for a two-count, Christian came in and Rhino charged him but he ducked the clothesline and dropped him with a huge DDT for a two-count, Jason came over but Christian beat him to the punch and lifted him up for a suplex before dropping him on his face! He covered but Jason kicked out, AJ tried to charge him but he sidestepped and hit a gutbuster for another two-count.

Christian and Rhino got up and Christian tried a sucker punch but Rhino blocked it and hit a belly to belly suplex for a two-count, Christian staggered back up in the corner and Rhino hit a running spear before dragging Christian out and hitting a DVD! He covered but Jason dived back in the ring and broke it up.

He covered but the teen kicked out.

AJ landed on his feet and charged the teen but Jason countered it into a drop-toehold causing AJ to fall onto the ropes, he bounced back up and Jason hit a dragon suplex for a two-count. Christian got up and Jason grabbed him and hit a DDT, instead of covering he charged Rhino but the 'War Machine' powered him up and hit a TKO! He covered but Jason kicked out, he quickly pulled the teen up and hit a powerbomb but before he could do anything Christian came up behind him and hit a diving reverse DDT! He covered but Rhino kicked out, he pulled the 'War Machine' back up and slammed him before going to the top-rope, AJ had gone up as well and they both came down with a frog splash on Jason and Rhino! They both made a cover and the referee counted but Jason and Rhino kicked out.
Christian and AJ got up and began exchanging right hands, Christian got a kick to AJ's stomach and threw him into a corner, he charged but AJ ducked and backdropped him over the ropes, he landed on the apron and kicked AJ away and went up top, AJ tried to knock him down but Christian beat him to the punch then came down with a tornado DDT! He covered but AJ kicked out, Christian tried to pull him up but AJ tackled him back into the corner and hit some right hands then Jason came out of nowhere with a stinger splash to both of them! AJ dropped to his knees and Jason hit a shining wizard for a two-count, the teen then lifted Christian up to the top and set him up for a superplex but Christian started fighting out of it as Rhino came over, he nailed Jason in the back then got the teen up on his shoulders, Jason tried to fight out of it but Christian jumped off the top-rope and dropkicked him off! He covered but Rhino threw him off and covered instead only for Christian to break it up, the two got up and began exchanging right hands, Rhino gained control and set Christian up for a Rhino driver but 'Captain Charisma' countered it into a backdrop then hit Rhino with a spear!

AJ jumped to his feet and threw a punch at Jason but the teen ducked and hit one of his own, he backed AJ up against the ropes and whipped him but it was reversed, AJ went for an elbow but the teen ducked and hit a flying forearm! He lay on the mat for a second then nipped up! AJ got up and the teen unloaded with punches then hit an atomic drop and clotheslined AJ down, AJ got up and the teen hit a slam before going up top and connecting with an elbow, he pulled himself up in a corner and began tuning up the band, he went to hit it but Christian got up, he started forward and walked right into the superkick!

He went to hit it but Christian slipped out and went for the Unprettier! Jason escaped and pushed Christian into the turnbuckle and went for the C-Bomb again! Tomko jumped up on the apron but Jason used Christian to knock him down, he turned to walk out to the middle of the ring but Rhino came out of nowhere with the gore! All three collapsed to the mat and Christian landed on top of Jason! Rhino was stunned from the collision and the Diamonds held AJ back as the referee counted and Christian got the three!
Tomko pulled Christian out of the ring and began helping him up the ramp as everyone in the ring realised what happened, AJ was screaming at the Diamonds as they left, Rhino was staring down Christian and Jason was being helped up by Mara, he glanced up at Christian who was only just realising he had won and shook his head.
"Lucky son of a bitch!" He muttered before joining AJ in staring down the Diamonds.
"They're gonna pay" said AJ.
"I know."
"What are you gonna do?"
"What are you gonna do?" Fired back Jason.
"You'll find out when they do."
"Not if I beat you to it."
AJ smirked. "I wouldn't wanna be them when we catch them."
