Disclaimer: You've heard it before.

Heya, just when we thought things couldn't get any weirder... they get a little more weirder, meh. Anyway last time we saw the birth of the world's unlikeliest tag team in Jason and his longtime rival AJ Styles as Jim Cornette announced that the two would receive a shot at the champions LAX. Can the two co-exist to get the shot? How will LAX try to sway the odds? And how will Traci try to humiliate Mara? Let's find out!

Here We Go!

Rebirth-Chapter Thirty Nine-Styles & Cena

"What're you watching?" Asked Mara sitting down on the sofa next to her boyfriend.

"My last match as Voorhees" answered Jason without taking his eyes off the screen.

"The match with Mike Awesome?"

"Uh huh" Jason winced as he watched Awesome nail him in the head with a chair. "Damn, maybe it's a good thing I used to wear that mask, who's idea was it to make that a street fight?"

"Yours."

"It would be" muttered Jason as Awesome smashed him with the chair at least a dozen times before Mara ran in and tried to grab it only to receive an Awesome-bomb.

"You still owe me for that" she said rubbing the back of her head. "That was pretty damn painful."

"Compared to what he did to me you got off easy" replied Jason as Awesome threw him to the outside and hit an Awesome-bomb on the concrete floor, he then pulled the unconscious teen back up and Awesome-bombed him over the rail onto a row of chairs as the fans scattered before finally pinning him.

"Was that what screwed your arm up?"

"Pretty much, I've still got the scar from when they opened me up" muttered the teen displaying a thin line running down the back of his arm. "Is it me or when I get beat up it gets taken to another level?"

"That's the one compliment I've ever heard Chris or Allison give you, they say that no-one gets beaten up like you do!"

Jason shrugged and went back to watching the screen. "Y'know for an Indy promotion that only drew a hundred people we managed to bring in a lot of stars."

"Drake was good with money, pay the full-timers absolutely squat and you can afford to bring in a big name every now and then, like when he talked Joe into coming in or when he got D'Amore to loan him Williams."

"Or the Briscoes" added Jason remembering one match.

"Yup, and you lost to every last one of them."

"That was a low-blow."

"Sorry" said Mara then she laughed. "Remember when he talked Chris into coming in then teamed him with you?"

"I thought he was gonna kill me, seriously."

"Nah, Chris would never kill you... at least I'm pretty sure he wouldn't" she added after thinking about it.

Jason shook his head and got up. "Nice to know that you have so much confidence in him."

"I'd have more if you didn't keep pushing him."

"What? So I made a few crank calls, so I hid his gear once or twice, so me and Cabana and Nigel hid his X Division title that one time, the guy has no sense of humour!"

"That was you? I thought Cabana did it by himself?"

"Nah, he needed Nigel to keep watch and me to actually get the belt, he just hid it."

"I'm starting to wonder how he hasn't killed you yet."

Jason shrugged. "Even if he wanted to he'd have to catch me first, and nobody's managed that since my days on the streets."

He walked over to the computer and began reading over his e-mails, there was the usual load of Indy promotions asking for an appearance, including one from the ICP which caused him to laugh.

"Not in this lifetime boys" he smirked before noticing a message from the office. "Year end awards are up."

"I know, you're up for a few of them."

"What?" Jason pulled up the site to check. "Oh yeah, Feud of the year, match of the year, inspirational story of the year. You're up for one as well."

"Knockout of the year, funny considering I haven't done a single photoshoot."

"Don't need to do photoshoots when you kick ass, aww man."

"What?"

"I didn't make the cut for TNA MVP."

"And you're suprised? You made it for X Division star of the year, I voted for you on that one."

Jason smirked and put his arm around her. "Thanks, I voted for me too."

"Try this one, Davey Boy Smith or the Dynamite Kid?"

Jason frowned. "Much as I like Davey I'm gonna go for Dynamite, Steve Austin or Brian Pillman?"

"To be honest I liked Pillman better, Marty Jannetty or Shawn Michaels?"

"Too easy, gotta be Marty" Jason laughed. "Nah, I'm kidding it's Shawn, AJ Styles or Jason Cena?"

"AJ."

"WHAT?"

"What you get for being a smartass. Booker T or Stevie Ray?"

"King Booka any day" answered Jason, he glanced back over his shoulder and smirked. "Here's a tough one, Maverick Matt Bentley or Frankie Kazarian?"

"Neither, they both suck!"

"What did you say?" The two teens turned to see them and Traci getting their bags out of their car, Jason laughed although he pulled Mara closer to him.

"Hey guys, nice ride" he grinned nodding at the car. "You gotta tell me where you rent these from."

"You think you're real funny don't you?" snarled Matt stepping up to Jason.

"Think? I know buddy, and your cousin finds me funny too."

"My cousin is an idiot!"

"An idiot who's one of the best wrestlers ever, I'd call him the best except that's what I'm gonna be, you? You're just another wrestler."

Matt went to say something but Traci stepped forward, Mara pushed past Jason and stared her down.

"Daniels."

"Traci."

"I just want to remind you about what I said last week, when your back's all better it'll be my pleasure to humiliate you just like your boy here humiliates pro-wrestling."

"If that's the case how come neither of these two can beat him?" Smirked Mara. "And Traci? There's something you should know, humiliation is a two-way street, like the time Petey Williams showed your rear end on national TV."

Jason laughed as Traci looked furious, she went to slap Mara but at the last second remembered she couldn't and slapped Jason instead! Mara lunged for her but Jason held her back allowing Matt to sucker punch him, Jason tried to fight back but Kazarian jumped in as well, the two beat Jason down while Traci laughed when a car pulled up and out jumped Sonjay, Jay, Jerry and Chris! Matt and Kazarian took off while Traci gave Mara a smirk before going after them.

"Figures" sighed Chris. "The one time we travel together we have to bail you out, where'd you be without us kid?"

"Shut up Chris."

"OK, y'know what?" Said Jason rubbing his jaw for the tenth time. "Never let anyone say that Traci Brooks can't slap."

"Told ya" smirked Mara. "You should've listened."

"You didn't tell me she had a right like Mike Tyson! It's not as bad as the time you punched me but damn, that woman can swing."

"Don't remind me" said Chris. "My jaw still hurts from when she slapped me."

"Sure that wasn't your heart when she chose Matt over you?" Smirked Sonjay. "But you rebounded pretty well, not many people could hook up with Traci and Trinity less than a month apart."

"How many times do I have to say it? I didn't hook up with Trinity! She got to take care of Traci while I got Matt, it was a mutual partnership!"

"Whatever you say Chris" said Jerry.

"Don't push me old man."

"Old man?"

"I don't know what you guys are complaining about" muttered Jay in his 'Macho Man' voice. "No-one hit harder than Elizbeth."

"Who's Elizabeth?" Asked Chris.

"An ex-girlfriend... he says" answered Sonjay, Jason sighed and put his head in his hands.

"Jay, if the next words out of your mouth are 'Snake Roberts ruined my wedding' I swear I'll walk out that door and not come back."

"Look kid, it's partly your fault I'm doing this, so quit whining."

"Yeah well if I..." Jason trailed off as Alex Shelley came into the room DVD in hand, everyone in the room stood up around him.

"C'mon guys, I'm not here to start anything" he said looking around nervously, everyone backed off except for Chris. "C'mon Chris, Detroit remember?" He made the hand gesture, Chris sat back down. "Anyway, seeing as the kid just got himself a tag title shot, and leapfrogged a lot of more deserving teams, me and Johnny D included, I decided to go around asking those teams what they thought and here's what I got."

He put the DVD in the monitor and turned it on, the first team it showed was America's Most Wanted.

"What do you guys think about Styles and Cena getting the tag title shot?"

"I think it's a load of crap!" Said Chris Harris. "How did these guys earn a shot? Who did they beat to get this match? We're the best tag team in TNA history and they deserve a shot more than us? But I'm not upset, cause there is no way that those two are gonna win the straps, ain't that right cowboy?"

Storm laughed. "A scrawny little punk and an eighteen year old kid, no chance in hell. But if they somehow pull it off that's fine, cause AMW will just roll on in and take back what's ours, and boys? Sorry 'bout your damn luck" Shelley smirked as it cut to the Voodoo Kin Mafia.

"Good luck to them" smirked BG before Kip cut in.

"One question, who did those guys beat? It damn sure wasn't us!"

"Management's choice Kip."

"Management can kiss my ass! We've busted our ass for God knows how long and they get a shot without earning it? That's bull..." The camera cut out and when it came back Shelley was talking with the Naturals.

"How do you guys feel about it?"

"They're welcome to it" said Chase. "Just so long as they remember to give us a shot when they win."

"Hoo boy" Jason heard Sonjay mutter as Team 3D came on.

"Those boys want a shot they can have it" said Ray. "But no matter who the champions are, LAX or the hick and the punk, me and my brother are gonna beat them down and take the gold just because we can!"

"Oh my brother..."

"What happened there?" Asked Jay as the camera cut.

"If you've heard it once you've heard it a thousand times" replied Shelley as Shark Boy and Norman Smiley came on.

"What the?"

"Told ya there were lots of more deserving teams kid" smirked Shelley.

"So Sharky, how do you feel about Styles and Cena's title shot?" Shark Boy nodded and gave a thumbs up. "Does that mean you're happy for them or you're gonna beat their asses?" Sharky just kept nodding. "OK, screw this..." The camera cut to Kevin Nash.

"So Kev, you know me and Johnny deserve this shot more right?"

"Yeah, totally, better Athlete, better looking, faster, smarter, and you two are pretty good too. And with me the two of you can dominate just like me and Scott Hall back in the day."

"There you have it" smirked Shelley taking the DVD back. "You're not a very popular guy right now kid, see ya around, Chris..." He made the same hand gesture and left.

"What's up with that anyway?" Asked Jason.

"Something we used to do when we were partners" answered Chris.

"Speaking of partners" came a voice from behind them, they turned to see AJ Styles in the doorway, he stepped up to Jason. "Rumour has it my partner was jumped when he got to the building tonight."

"For once the rumours are true" smirked Jason.

"Rumour also has it that my partner isn't too happy about being jumped."

"Once again, the rumours are true."

"And another rumour is that my partner would like a little payback against the two jackasses who jumped him."

"I like where these rumours are going."

"Then my partner will be happy to know that I just went and saw Jim Cornette and got us a match with said jackasses."

"And my partner really needs to start telling me when he's gonna do something like that so I can get ready" answered Jason.

"Well my partner better hurry up and get ready, we're up soon and JB wants an interview."

"Looks like I better get started then."

"Yeah, you should, see you later, partner" AJ left the room, Jason shrugged and went to his bag.

"Well that wasn't weird at all."

"Ladies and gentlemen my guests at this time the 'Phenomenal' AJ Styles and the 'Showstealer' Jason Cena."

"Wassup JB?" Smirked Jason.

"Now gentlemen the two of you will shortly be taking on Maverick Matt and Kazarian but I wanna ask you, can you two co-exist all the way to the NWA tag team titles?"

"JB" began AJ. "It's real simple, standing here right now is the most unique tag team in TNA history, the two of us have fought each other, drew blood from each other and brought out the best in one another. Now if we can do that as enemies just imagine what we can do as partners."

"That's right" said Jason. "Now let me settle something right here and right now, do I like this guy? Not really, do I trust him? Sort of, do I respect him? More than anyone, respect made us a team, respect will keep us as a team and respect will take us to the tag team titles. Just think about this, seven X Divsion title reigns between us..."

"And I had six of them!"

Jason laughed. "Yeah sure, seven X Division title reigns, the 'Phenomenal One' and the 'Showstealer', you want a dream team? You got one, and to all those teams who think we don't deserve a shot, form a line cause when we get the gold we'll run through all of you! And Styles? Try to keep up out there."

He turned and walked away, AJ smirked.

"I'll do more than keep up Cena."

Matt, Kazarian and Traci were already in the ring waiting when Jason's music hit and he walked out onto the stage with Mara then waited as AJ's music hit and they both walked down to the ring, Matt and Kazarian bailed as they entered and AJ posed for the crowd and noticed Jason copying him, he shook his head then turned to the teen.

"You wanna start?"

"Why not?" Smirked Jason as Kazarian came in for his team to kick off the match. Jason quickly put on a headlock but Kazarian used the ropes to throw him off only for the teen to his a shoulderblock, he hit the ropes again and Kazarian went under and tried a leapfrog but Jason put on the brakes and knocked him down with a right hand. He bounced up in a corner and Jason hit some chops then whipped him and hit a backdrop followed by a dropkick, he tagged AJ in then whipped Kazarian and dropped down allowing AJ to hit a springboard forearm! Matt came in and charged them but they went for a hiptoss, he flipped through it by they clotheslined him across their knees then dropped him on his face. Matt rolled outside while the two charged Kazarian, AJ slid though his legs and Jason leapfrogged him then they hit a double dropkick when he turned round, he bounced up and the two hit a clothesline to send him out beside Matt.

Matt and Kazarian tried to come up with a strategy but stopped and dodged to one side when they saw Jason charging towards the ropes, they smirked but didn't notice the teen land on the apron, they turned and the teen hit a perfect springboard moonsault! He landed on his feet, laughed and mimicked AJ's pose.

"Top that Styles!"

AJ smirked then walked to the ropes, he waited for Matt and Kazarian to stand then jumped to the top-rope and came down with a shooting star press! He climbed to his feet, dusted himself down and posed in front of Jason.

"If you insist Cena."

Jason shook his head then pulled Kazarian up and rolled him into the ring, AJ followed and hit a back-suplex for a two-count then tagged Jason, they whipped Kazarian then AJ hit a punch, Kazarian dropped to his knees and Jason hit a shining wizard! He covered but only got two, he pulled Kazarian up and tagged AJ then went for a suplex, he held Kazarian upside down allowing AJ to go up top and hit a cross-body! He covered but Matt broke up the pin, AJ tagged Jason back in and threw Kazarian into a corner allowing Jason to hit a stinger splash! He reeled out of the corner and the two hit a high-low combo then Jason covered but Matt broke it up again, Jason knocked him down then tagged AJ in and slammed Kazarian as AJ hit a running knee for a two-count.

AJ pulled Kazarian up then turned his back on him and hit the Pele! He smirked at Jason then pulled Kazarian up for the Styles Clash! Traci jumped up on the apron, the referee was distracted then Matt came in and cheap-shotted AJ, Jason jumped in but the referee turned round and stopped him allowing Matt to roll Kazarian out of the ring and begin stomping on AJ. He hit a quick backbreaker for a two-count then hung AJ over the ropes and choked him, the referee came over and pulled him away allowing Traci to run up and slap him, Mara ran around the ring to confront Traci but the Canadian stood her ground.

"You can't touch me!"

Mara looked like she was going to hit her anyway but Jason came round and pulled her away then hopped up on the apron, the referee was still distracted allowing Kazarian to run along the apron and hit a legdrop on AJ while he was on the ropes, Matt came over and pulled him away then covered for a two-count. Matt brought AJ to the corner then tagged Kazarian back in, he pulled AJ up and hit a belly-to-belly suplex for a two-count then jumped up and took a cheap-shot at Jason, the teen came in distracting the referee allowing Matt to come in and help double-team AJ with kicks then hung him over the ropes for Traci to slap him again then Kazarian hit a swinging neckbreaker for a two-count then tag Matt.

The Maverick came in and hit an atomic drop followed by a Northern lights suplex for a two-count then tagged Kazarian in, he whipped AJ then stepped sideways allowing Kaz to hit a big kick to AJ's face, he covered but Jason broke it up. Kazarian tagged Matt in and the two whipped AJ and tried a double elbow but he ducked and used the ropes to hit a moonsault into a double reverse DDT! He bounced to his feet and staggered to the corner to tag in Jason!

The teen quickly climbed to the top-rope then came down with a cross-body on Kazarian for a two-count, he jumped up and knocked down Matt then whipped Kazarian and hit a powerslam, he covered and Matt went for an elbow but Jason moved and he hit his partner! Jason dropkicked him down then hit Kazarian with a reverse DDT for a two-count, the teen dropped Matt with a neckbreaker then hit Kazarian with a release dragon suplex onto his own partner! Kazarian bounced to his knees and the teen hit a shining wizard! He covered but Kazarian kicked out at two, Jason quickly pulled him up and went for an impaler but Matt jumped him, they stomped the teen down then Kazarian pulled him up and held him while Matt geared up for the superkick, he started forward but AJ came in and knocked him down, Kazarian dropped Jason and charged but AJ hit him with a right hand, Matt got up and AJ kicked him in the gut then set him up for a suplex, Jason came over and the two dropped him with a double brainbuster! Kazarian charged but the two sidestepped and nailed the superkick and the Pele! Jason grabbed Matt while AJ got Kazarian then dropped both of them with a Styles Clash and a C-Bomb! The both made a pin and the referee counted the three!

Jason climbed to his feet and high-fived AJ before letting Mara raise his arm, he smirked as Traci came in to check on her boys.

"You really should get these guys to give it up, they're spending more time on their backs than you do!"

Traci spun round and tried to slap him again but he blocked it, she threw another with her free hand but he blocked that as well and gave her a smirk as Mara came up behind her and pantsed her! Traci sprinted to the back trying to cover herself while Mara laughed.

"Pity" muttered AJ.

"How d'you figure that?" Asked the teen.

"I'm married and you're taken, a sight like that is totally wasted on us."

"True, isn't this the part where we pose and celebrate?"

"Yeah why not?" The two went to celebrate when LAX's music hit and they came out to the ring, Homicide and Hernandez dropped their belts in the corner and got up in their faces while Konnan grabbed.

"Relax boys, we just wanna talk to you for a second. Now what's clear to me is that we're all in the same boat, we are?" He added noticing Jason and AJ's confusion. "See boys, Jim Cornette, the cheif gringo around here doesn't like us walking around with those straps so he's using every bit of power he has to keep us down because he is a racist pig like everyone else in TNA management! And the two of you are pawns in his little game to take these titles, but I'm gonna make you an offer. Walk away."

Jason laughed. "What?"

"Walk away, walk away and we won't do to you what we did to the DX rejects, the Brokeback Mountain boys or Butterbean and Krispy Kreme and that's make you our bitches! So walk away, forfeit the match whatever, just don't make the same mistake that the other teams Cornette chose to try and beat us. Besides the kid said himself you two don't like each other, so just walk away and do your thing."

Jason grabbed a mic. "He's got a point Styles, you want a forfeit?" Konnan nodded and held out his hand, Jason went to shake it but suddenly raised his hand to Konnan's face leaving one finger up. "There's your forfeit Amigo!"

Konnan laughed. "Big mistake gringo."

Suddenly Hernandez jumped forward and jumped Jason knocking him to the ground, AJ started forward but Homicide jumped him and the two brawled, Hernandez backed Jason up to a corner and tried to punch him but the teen ducked and began hammering away on him as Konnan pulled out his slapjack, he went to hit Jason with it but Mara grabbed it, he spun round and shoved her down then turned right into a superkick! Jason smirked but Hernandez took advantage of his distraction and hit a huge clothesline, Homicide charged AJ but the 'Phenomenal One' backdropped him out of the ring as Hernandez set Jason up for the border toss! He got the teen up but AJ pulled him down, Hernandez turned and the two hit a double dropkick to make him reel then clotheslined him outside with Homicide and Konnan, who had grabbed a mic again.

"You two gringo's just made the biggest mistake of your lives! At Turning Point LAX is going 5150 on your asses! That is if we don't get our hands on you before then, Orale! Arriba la Raza! To live and die, in LAX!"

He dropped the mic and they went to get the belts from where they'd left them but Jason and AJ stepped forward and took them, they stared at them for a second then held them up for the crowd before Jason picked his mic back up.

" LAX, you and anyone else who thinks we don't deserve this better get used to this sight, because after Turning Point you're gonna be seeing it a lot more! And Konnan? You boys live and die in LAX? Well me and Styles live and die, in T... N... A!"

He and AJ held the titles up one more time then laid them out in the ring and left, Jason turned and stared down LAX as they got their gold back.

"Oh yeah, it's on now boys!"

Well there ya go, LAX and Styles/Cena are gearing up for Turning Point, will things explode before we even get there? And will Traci respond to Mara's humiliation of her? Find out nest time.

See ya!
