Becoming a Legacy Chapter 2: Put in Her Place, a wrestling fanfic

Chapter 2:

The hard rock of Paul Burchill and Katie Lea's titantron blasted through the Civic Center and was greeted with boos from many jeering fans. The brother and sister duo appeared at the top of the stage, arm in arm and smirking evilly at the crowd.

"The following Diva's contest is scheduled for one fall, making her way to the ring from Chelsea, England, being accompanied by Paul Burchill, Katie Lea!" Lilian Garcia's voice cut over the music, as Katie made her rather inappropriate entrance.

The lights dimmed and Gavin DeGraw's opening guitar riff replaced Katie's entrance music. Green strobes lights flickered across the stage, followed by blue and then finally red. Two pyros went off and the crowd exploded to their feet with cheers.

So many people gonna say that they want you

To try to get you thinking they really care
But there's nothing like the warmth of the one who has put in the time

And you know he's gonna be there
Back your border when she knows someone crossed it,
Don't let nobody put you down, who your with
Take the pain of protecting your name

From the crutch to the cane to the highwire

The stage lit up and in the center was Chris Jericho, flexing the muscles in his back and arms in his signature pose. Haley moved from one side of the stage to other, holding her belt high in one hand, while saluting the fans with other. The crowd was near deafening at this point.

"And her opponent, being accompanied by Chris Jericho, from Boston Massachusetts, she is the WWE Women's Champion!" Lilian's paused for the huge pop the crowd gave her at her first statement. "Haley Mariano!"

I'm in love with a girl who knows me better,
Fell for the women just when I met her,
Took my sweet time when I was bitter,
Someone understands,
And she knows how to treat a fella right,
Give me that feeling every night,
Wants to make love when I wanna fight,
Now someone understand me,
I'm in love with a girl(I'm in love with)

I'm in love with a girl(I'm in love with)

Haley let out a war whoop as she and Chris entered the ring. She immediately crossed to the far right turnbuckle and climbed to the second one. She posed with her belt held high above her head.

"Chris, Paul, out!" Referee Chad Patton ordered the two men, keep his arm outstretched towards Katie's corner while Haley climbed off the turnbuckle. It was his way of preventing Katie from starting the match before the bell with a cheap shot.

Haley smiled brightly at Chris and passed him her belt. "No worries, there's no freaking way I'm losing!"

Chris grinned back and kissed her cheek. "I won't wish you luck then. Kick some ass." He stepped back through the ropes and dropped to the ground in Haley's corner, holding her belt by his side.

Patton signaled the time keeper. "Ring the bell!"

"I'm coming for your title, Haley!" Katie twisted her face in a sneer reminiscint of Victoria, as the two women circled each other.

"Keep dreaming, Mary Poppins." Haley rolled her eyes, before the rookie Diva charged forward and they locked up in the center of the ring.

Haley backed Katie up into the corner, while Patton called for her to break the hold. Holding her hands out, Haley broke cleanly, but Katie did not. She sent a vicious slap across Haley's cheek, using her nails as talons.

Now angry, Haley grabbed Katie's wrist and Irish whipped her out of the corner. Katie reversed it in mid swing so that Haley headed into the opposite turnbuckle. Haley gripped the top rope and jumped off the second rope over Katie's head, who had followed her into the corner. Haley landed nimbly on her feet, turned around, pulled Katie's head over her shoulder and dropped her in a neckbreaker.

Haley made a cover, but they were too close to the ropes, so Katie lifted a leg up to break the count. With an aggravted sigh, Haley dragged Katie back up to her feet and then dropped her again with a running bulldog.

"Yeah!" Haley got up and played to the crowd for a moment, before running to ropes opposite Katie's body and performing a Jericho replicaed springboard moonsault, or as he would call it, the Lionsault.

Again, Haley made the cover. This time the three count was broken up when Paul Burchill grabbed Haley by the ankle and dragged her out of the ring. The brute of a man drew a fist back, with the intention of using it, but Haley was faster and brought her knee up into his groin. He doubled over, just as Chris came flying around the corner to defend her and used Haley's championship to nail a huge blow to the head.

The English superstar crumpled to the ground, as Haley climbed back into the ring. It had given Katie an opportunity to recover; however, and the rookie threw a forearm shot into Haley's face. She picked Haley up and brought her back down with a backbreaker. Katie made a quick cover, but Haley powered out before Patton could get past one.

Katie tried to keep up her offense by Irish whipping Haley into the ropes, but the Women's Champion countered on the return with a head scissors take down. Katie found herself flipped onto her head, before rolling across the ring.

As she stumbled to her feet, Haley stalked behind her. Katie turned and walked right into one of Haley's textbook spinebusters. The crowd roared as Haley began to jump around above her. She used her boyfriend's thumbs up, before rotating her thumbs down and pointed to Kaite.

"Comet time!" She shouted, practically skipping to the nearest turnbuckle and climbing it. She posed Jericho style at the top, before vaulting off in a beautiful version of Haley's Comet.

Rolling onto her haunches, Haley made the cover, already tasting victory.

The crowd counted along with Patton as he dropped to the mat and began the three count. "ONE…TWO…THREE!" Patton pointed to the timekeeper again. "It's over, ring the bell!"

"Here is your winner, Haley Mariano!" Lilian annouced, while the crowd popped for the Women's Champion again.

I'm in love with a girl(I'm in love with)

"Yeah!" Patton raised Haley's wrist to show that she was indeed the winner, while Chris scrambled into the ring.

"Nice work, Hales." He gave her belt back and pulled her in a one armed hug. "The thumbs down thing was a nice touch!"

"Thanks Chris!" Haley beamed at him, before they both seperated to climb opposite turnbuckles to celebrate briefly with the crowd. Haley held her title high in the air.

"I'll be back out here later, guys!" Haley promised, as she and Chris started back up the ramp. Chris held her wrist up triumphantly, while they smirked at Paul and Katie who were still in the ring.

Katie was glaring up at Haley, while clutching at her sore abdomen. Paul was grimacing behind her, as he rubbed the back of his head. If looks could kill, Jericho might have been six feet under by now, from the heated look of death Paul was giving Chris.

The first ever undisputed champion was rather unaffected however. Chris was main event status, not a brutish midcarder and he had bigger fish to fry. He was more occupied with his special awards edition of the Highlight Reel tonight with Shawn Michaels.

"This was one way to kick off what's bound to be a hell of a show!" Haley told Chris as they waved to the fans one last time before disappearing behind the curtain.

"Hey, what do I always say, RAW is Jericho!" Chris boasted as they started back for his locker room. "And, since you're highly associated with me, RAW is also Haley by default."

Haley laughed at his logic, following him down the hall. There was one thing she was sure of, it really was going to be one hell of a show. And, it would end tonight with a title shot between Triple H and Randy Orton. That she was looking forward to.
