Chapter 121: Backlash
Backlash was in Providence, Rhode Island and Brittany was in the hallway dialing her grandparents' on her cell phone and after a few rings, the call was answered.
"Hello, grandma," Brittany said. "Yeah, I'm feeling okay……Look, I think after tonight. I'm gonna press charges against Matt and…….you know this is difficult for me but I have no choice; he has put me and Jeff through hell the last several months and I won't take it anymore……Yes, I'm gonna get him arrested for assault charges and there's also charges for attempted vehicular manslaughter and arson and I don't know the charges for tampering with Jeff's pyro……Yes, we have proof but I also want Matt to have mercy on himself because he doesn't know what he put himself through; the jealousy, the malicious intents, he is the definite black sheep. I also want to spare his father who I know is hurt and Matt hasn't spoken to him in months. What kind of person is that?…….He needs help because he doesn't know what he's doing and I'm not going as go far as putting him away for a long time because he's gonna need Jeff……I will be careful……Bye."
Then Brittany answered the call.
She was sure she was doing the right thing by pressing charges against Matt and sparing his and Jeff's father from any more pain.
Later, Backlash was on and it was time for the I Quit Match which was Jeff versus Matt Hardy.
Jeff's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Brittany following him.

Then Jeff and Brittany set up the table as Matt rolled out of the ring and Jeff followed as Matt punched him in the midsection and went for the Twist of Fate but Jeff escaped and kicked Matt in the midsection and landed the Twist of Fate and threw Matt back in the ring and placed him on the table as Brittany held onto him crossing her legs as Jeff got out of the ring and grabbed some duct tape and rope from under the ring and got back in the ring and he taped Matt's legs and wrists together and then Brittany got off Matt as Jeff wrapped his body in the rope.
Brittany was in the corner smiling as the referee asked Matt if he wanted to quit now and Matt said no as Jeff got out of the ring pulled a ladder out from under the ring and brought it into the ring and Matt looked as he had fear in his eyes as Jeff set up the ladder and looked down at Matt as Matt began pleading with his brother and Jeff took off his tank top and climbed the ladder and Matt took the microphone and said,
"Jeff, I'm sorry about everything, I'm sorry. Jeff, you did nothing wrong. I love you. Jeff, I love you, Jeff, listen to me. I love you, we're brothers. Jeff, we're brothers. Brothers is the strongest bond you can have in the world. Jeff, don't listen to them; I've always told you, don't listen to them; they get you in trouble. Jeff, Matt loves you, Matt and Jeff Hardy, the Hardy Boyz, we can do it all again. Jeff, Jeff, our mom wouldn't want this, in heaven, she's looking down at us; she wouldn't want this, Jeff. Our dad's at home sick, Jeff. Please, dad……daddy wouldn't like it if you did this. Jeff, please, Jeff, I love you. Jeff, I'm sorry. Brittany, I didn't mean to put you through this, I didn't mean to put you through this. Your parents wouldn't like how I dragged you through this. I didn't mean to hurt you, Brittany. You've always been a fan of the Hardy Boyz, you came into our lives, you made Jeff so happy, he couldn't live without you. I didn't mean to put your younger sister and your grandparents through this. I'm sorry, Brittany. Jeff, I quit, I quit!"
The referee called for the bell as Jeff began to climb down the ladder and Brittany was breathing hard as she started to cry but then Jeff leaped and legdropped Matt through the table which broke in half. Jeff and Brittany walked towards Matt and Jeff bent down and looked down at Matt and Jeff got back up and hugged Brittany and he climbed the top turnbuckle and raised his arms in the air and then he and Brittany got out of the ring and as walked up the ramp as Jeff walked to the back.
Brittany turned around and put her hands on her hips as she smiled because the worst was far from over for Matt.
Then Randy Orton was in the locker room with Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase in the background preparing for the match as he was being interviewed by Todd Grisham.
"Joining me now is of course, Randy Orton," Todd said, "and Randy, tonight, should you and Legacy defeat Triple H, Batista, and Shane McMahon, you'll become the new WWE Champion and you consider the stipulations surrounding this match……."
"Hold on, hold on," Randy said, "I have nothing else to say to Shane McMahon or Triple H but I do have something to say to Dave Batista. You seem to have it all figured out, don't you, Dave? Years ago, we were in Evolution together and what's changed? I have Legacy and I am my own man. And what about you? You have that pathetic wife of yours who's part of a group I despise named 'Eddie's Angels' and after all of these years, you're still doing Triple H's dirty work. Now I know you have an issue with me; but don't you worry, you'll be able to take out all of your anger in a matter of minutes. But whatever you do, Dave, don't get disqualified. I mean, you wouldn't want Triple H to lose his title, would you? I mean, that's what's important here, right? Triple H and his title. It's amazing after all of these years, it's still all about the Game……for some people, anyway. I'll see you out there, Batista."
Then Rochelle walked inside the locker room with a smile on her face. Rochelle was wearing a red shoulder strap animal print with a cutout and glitter buckle at the bust and her hair curled.
"Oh, I'm pathetic?" Rochelle said as she laughed. "And you despise 'Eddie' Angels' and my husband is still doing Triple H's dirty work? You don't have to look at me; I don't care because the fact of the matter is you're the one who's doing the dirty work: you attacked the McMahons along with that lawsuit you was going to file if you didn't compete at Wrestlemania. Guess what? It blew up in your face and now you got the nerve to call my husband out? Don't you worry, he won't get disqualified……unless you want him but be careful what you wish for because you just might get it."
Then Rochelle walked out of the locker room.

"Nicole," Rochelle said as she and Dave walked up to Nicole.
"How is he?" Dave said.
"He's, um……he's actually stable for now," Nicole said.
"You're kidding," Rochelle said.
"I was surprised too but anybody who goes through a 7000-watt spotlight won't even have a chance to make it, but John, I always said he's a superman. The Big Show, he's gonna pay and I know he did it for Vickie because he's pissed he didn't win at Wrestlemania and he would help Edge of all people after everything that's happened."
"Well, I'm pissed off as well at Vickie," Rochelle said. "I could see the smile on her face because she not only wanted to get back at Triple H for posting those nude photos of her, she wanted to get back at us too."
"How is Hunter?"
"He suffered a concussion," Dave said as he shook his head.
"Dave, I don't blame you one bit; like I said, this is exactly what Vickie wanted, but we're not through with her because pretty soon, she'll get what's coming to her.
