Becoming a Legacy Chapter 26: Turn Up the Trouble, a wrestling fanfic

Chapter 26:

"We don't need the draft to shake things up, because tonight I think you and I are going to make this place explode." Kennedy informed Haley as the two entered the Gorilla position. It had been a week since Kennedy had won his one on one confrontation with Paul Burchill and Haley had come out to attack Katie. Now they would get their revenge in the form of a mixed tag team match.

Haley grinned, giving her dark hair one last flip before they made their entrance. "I agree with you on that one. Though I have to say I'm looking forward to the draft. I'd like to see who we get on RAW. And my fingers are crossed that Jericho gets moved to SmackDown." In honor of her new friendship with Mr. Kennedy, Haley work black and blue tonight. Her blue Lycra tights and black boots with a black Kennedy t-shirt altered much like she had done with Triple H's two weeks ago.

"After what he did last week, to you and to Shawn, not that I like Shawn very much, I hope he leaves too, bastard." Kennedy shook his head in disgust. "You're feeling ok, right?"

"Yeah." She nodded. "I'm good to go. I mean, it's like having a million tiny paper cuts, but I'm no worse for wear."

KENNEDY!

The harsh shout of Ken saying his last name echoed through the arena, causing the fans to cheer where they had previously been booing the brother sister team of Paul Burchill and Katie Lea.

I turn up the trouble

Til it gets real loud

I like it so much better that way

I'm gonna mess with your mind

Cause you know that I can

See how much I can mess with you today, yeah

"Introducing their opponents, the team of the WWE Women's Champion, Haley Mariano and Mr. Kennedy!"

Haley and Kennedy appeared on the stage. While she posed with her belt, Kennedy waited for the microphone to drop and his music to pause.

"Now that I have everyone's attention, I'd just like to remind you that tonight, my tag team partner weighs in at one hundred and thirty-five pounds and hails from Boston, Massachusetts, she is the WWE Women's Champion, HALEY MARIANO!" Kennedy smirked over his shoulder, while the crowd cheered.

Haley rolled her eyes. "Did you have to announce my weight?"

"And tonight, I weigh in at two hundred and forty-three pounds. I hail from Green Bay, Wisconsin, Misteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer Kennedy!" He bellowed. "KENNEDY!"

The duo started down the ramp with the crowd roaring their approval.

I'm gonna rock, I'm gonna roll

I'm gonna go toe to toe

Drop it like it's hot

Gets me outta control

Step a little closer, close to my fire

Trouble's my drug, takes me higher and higher

Let's turn up the music, light up the crowd

Turn up the gas, cause you can't be too loud

Cause it's a religion, I'll show you the way

Drop to your knees and join when I say, oh yeah

Haley handed her belt off to the referee and exchanged a double high five with Kennedy, who hadn't taken his glaring eyes of Paul Burchill since they made their entrance.

Misteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer Kennedy

KENNEDY

As Kennedy's music faded away, both Katie and Haley took their places on the apron so the men could start the match.

"Come on Ken!" Haley cheered as the two men locked up in the center of the ring. "Kick his ass!"

Katie Lea shot her an angry glare. "You can do this, Paul, you're better than these disgusting Americans!"

The two men broke out of their lock up and immediately began to exchange punches in the center of the ring. Kennedy had more fervor behind each hit, but Paul managed to gain the upper hand with a desperate clothesline. Paul dragged Ken back up to his feet to hit the Green Bay native with a swift uppercut to the jaw.

Ken didn't stay out of it for long. He reversed Paul Irish whip mid swing and threw the man over his head into a very elevated back body drop.

"Yeah!" Haley jumped up and down on the apron. "That's the way!" Ken winked back at her and made the cover, only to have Burchill kick out at two.

"Mike Check! Mike Check!" Haley began to chant, getting the fans into it as Kennedy back his adversary up into a corner and began to stomp on the man's midsection.

The referee called for Kennedy to back off, which gave Paul Burchill the opportunity counter with a harsh kick of his own. The man from Chelsea grasped Ken's right arm into a painful armbar and used his other hand to jerk Kennedy's head the other way into a rather painful submission hold, which was evident by Ken's shouts of pain.

"Come Ken!" Haley began to clap, which the fans echoed, in an attempt to motivate the blonde man back to his feet. There were several scrambling maneuvers in the ring, before Kennedy managed to break loose.

Irish whips were traded and Kennedy was sent into one of the corner turnbuckles. He countered with two boots to the face when Burchill charged. Paul fell forward and hung himself up on the second rope. Kennedy wasted little time in running to the ropes opposite him and ramming his boot right into the side of the man's head. He followed it up with a roll-up but again, Burchill managed to kick out.

Paul made a hasty retreat into his corner where Katie blind tagged herself in. She marched into the ring, getting right into the face of Kennedy, who smirked down at her. As Katie wound her hand back for another slap, Haley ducked around Kennedy and gave the woman a slap of her own, hard enough to jerk her head around and knock her to the canvas.

Katie grabbed Haley's legs in retaliation, tripping her down to her level. The two women rolled around the ring, trading blows, much to the fan's delight, before Haley managed to get back to her feet and keep Katie down with a standing dropkick.

"Yeah!" Kennedy hollered his encouragement. "Light it up, Baby!"

"Katie, get your head in it!" Paul shouted through grit teeth.

But Haley wasn't nearly done yet. Even when Katie reversed her Irish whip, Haley came back off the ropes into a hand stand, locking her legs around the Chelsea native's neck and swinging her body hard to the left in a whirlybird. The moment Katie became unbalanced; Haley sent her flying across the ring on the release.

Katie very drowsily got back to her feet, thoroughly dizzy and not looking quite sure where she was. That was no matter to Haley, who brought her back down in a running bull dog and made the cover.

"One…two…" Kennedy counted along with the ref and grunted with frustration when Katie managed to kick out.

Both women got back to their feet, but Katie didn't stay on hers for long. She turned to charge only to have her momentum reversed in a back cracking spinebuster. The crowd roared at a feverish pitch, as Haley pointed to the turnbuckle. It was time to end this right here, right now.

But as Haley began to climb, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Paul stalking his way across the apron towards her. Her hand closed into a fist ready to strike if she had to, but she needn't have worried. Kennedy ran across the ring and speared Paul right through the ropes, knocking both men to the floor below.

"Ah!" Haley posed of the top turnbuckle for a moment, before rocketing off into a breathtaking version of her finisher, Haley's Comet.

After she crashed into Katie below, she reached behind and hooked her opponent's leg. Grinning as this time, the referee managed to get the three count.

I'm in love with a girl who knows me better

Fell for the woman 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

"Here are your winners, Mr. Kennedy and Haley Mariano!" Lilian Garcia announced the winners of the match, while the referee raised Haley's wrist in victory.
