A/N: Added more, i thought this was gonna be a lot shorter than it turned out.
It was finally Raw 1000...The show was gonna start soon.
AJ frantically rushed to the gorilla. Hoping she could catch the chairman before he went out and introduced DX. She even had to stop herself from going into a fan-girl mode when she say Road Dogg, X-pac, and Billy Gunn. Even more when she saw HBK. She paused right into front of HBK, Triple H, and Vince. All men in a conversation didn't notice her presence at first.
Shawn was actually first. Slapping Hunter's chest to catch his attention, giving the obvious tilt to his head to point to her. Hunter and Vince both paused and looked at the nervous diva.
"Hello AJ." Vince beamed a smile at her. She was one of the most popular divas at this time, so of course Vince wasn't going to be cruel to her. "What can I do for you?" He asked clapping his hands together.
"Ummm, I need to talk to you about this thing with Daniel." AJ bit her lip. She kept expecting him to snap at her. Maybe even fire her. She had never spoken with the man before one on one or face to face.
"Ah, yes. I do need to talk to you about that. We need to figure how were gonna crash it." He said so casually.
AJ's jaw dropped. She had not expected it to be that easy or for him to suggest it himself. "Seriously?" She asked with disbelief.
"AJ, no WWE wedding has a happy ending...Unless you go to Vegas." Triple H commented putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. Both him and Shawn chuckling, but his father-in-law was giving him a curt glare so he'd shut up.
"Oh...I almost forgot." AJ said. She went through all the weddings shown on the WWE before. Even the Vegas wasn't exactly the happy ending at the time for Stephanie at least. Though off-screen the whole thing turned into a miracle love story for the Billion Dollar Princess and The Game. "Thank you." She beamed a smile.
Starting to turn so she could walk away she paused looking back at Shawn. "I'm sorry. But could I hug you?" She asked. Using her most innocent expression.
They all laughed. Shawn's arms opened up and gave her a gentle hug. AJ was ready to feint about the time he released her. On shaky legs she gave a nervous laugh. "Thank you." She said forcing down the squeal. She skipped away.
"She's the future of this place." Shawn commented before she was out of ear shot.
She felt a large boost of confidence as she went to the private room to get ready for her very first WWE wedding.
Punk was not happy.
Between the almighty Rock, John and his stupid briefcase, and the raw wedding. He was distracted and pissed off. His focus should only be on the match against Cena.
A simple win in his mind. He had beaten John multiple times for the title and defending it. And he was gonna win again. But that was the furthest thing from his mind when he stepped up to the superstar.
"Sure you shouldn't keep the briefcase John? Green and Red, you're Christmas." Punk joked flashing a smile at the man.
"Cute, Punk. Trust me when Christmas is coming early once I cash this in." He smiled. But even he knew Punk wasn't there to talk about their match. "What do you want, Punk?"
"AJ. She told you about the thing with Daniel right?" He asked straightforward.
"Yeah. She's gonna talk to Vince. They aren't going to get married." John said sounding confident in his answer.
"So sure about that?" Punk questioned raising a brow to the Cenation leader.
"Punk, I'm sure." John said giving a straight gaze.
Punk was still questionable when he walked away. But he didn't say anything else.
Punk watched with disgust as the vows were exchanged. He wanted to puke. Finally he had enough. He rushed towards the gorilla. Stagehands were telling him to stop, but he didn't listen.
He felt a hand touch his shoulder and he whipped around expecting security, but seeing Vince was an interesting surprise. "What making sure I don't screw up your show?!" Punk snapped. The loud chants of 'No!' rang through the arena making Punk's anger build. "Maybe you can't hear that considering your age! But not even they want to see this continue!" Punk shouted.
"I understand, but just wait." Vince said calmly against his rage.
Punk was furious, but he waited. He sensed the man knew something that he didn't.
"YES!YES!YES!" His gut dropped at the sound of AJ's voice. Was she actually going to do this? Even after she had told him that she was looking for a way out of it. His shoulders slumped. He wanted to walk away, but when he tried Vince gripped his shoulder again. Silently telling him wait again.
"Wait! I wasn't saying yes to Daniel...I was saying yes to someone else...Another man."
Now Punk was even more confused. He knew it wasn't him though if it stopped the madness he was willing. Part of him think it might be Kane, but the Big Red Monster hadn't been that interested in getting involved with love triangle to begin with. The only reason he had was for the title shot. After that he didn't know who else might have proposed to the crazy chick.
He then realized Vince had moved away. Punk looked over to man standing ready to go through the curtain. Punk's jaw dropped. This could not be the type of proposal everyone was thinking was it?
Sure enough the music hit. Punk still didn't know what to do besides listen.
"OK, don't worry. It isn't what you might be thinking." The chairman assured. "I'm out here to announce the new general manager for Monday Night Raw!" He cheered.
"This can't be happening." Punk muttered from back stage.
"AJ!"
Vince came back through curtain. "Well I'd say that went well. If you wanna go out now you can." He said patting Punk's back before walking away.
Punk was still in shock as he stood there. Finally snapping out of when AJ's came through the curtain. "Punk!" She beamed a smile. "Isn't this like the best day?" She asked.
"Ummm, yeah sure." He said. He knew he was never good with management. But maybe if it was AJ he could deal. "Looking good boss." He joked.
AJ's eyes darkened lightly. A familiar look coming over her face as she smiled and took a step closer to him. "I might need some help taking it off later." She whispered running a hand over his chest.
Punk shivered and didn't even answer before she left. They both knew what she meant, what she wanted him to do, what he wanted to do. Yeah, maybe this wasn't going to be bad at all for him...
The show went to commercial. Punk and just about everyone else amused themselves by watching Daniel's on stage freak out. Though most probably didn't know how real it was. With the show about to go live again referees went out trying to get Daniel to calm down and out of the ring. They couldn't reign him in before the show started again.
Punk looked to the techs, "Start my music!" He shouted over the noise around.
He got a nod in response.
The radio static enticed the crowd into a call of cheers even before he went out. Punk had a large grin as he looked at the sold out crowd chanting and cheering for him. He looked to the ring briefly as he went toward it. But his focus went mostly to the crowd having them cheer and rave. Finally he stepped up to the ring grabbing the mic from the steel steps.
He only enticed the crowd more getting inside the ring and standing on the ropes. Finally he stepped down and looked at Daniel. He faked nervous at first for the glare Daniel was sending him. Part of him feeling bad for the man that was clearly losing his senses.
"Now I didn't come out here to rub in your face." Punk said. Really he didn't need to the way the crowd was mocking the former World Heavy Weight champion. He was never one for peer pressure. However this was a moment he could not let go. "BUT you did just get left at the altar!" the amusement in his tone as obvious as the grin on his face.
Daniel didn't seemed amused at his antics though. Only making Punk want to further antagonize him. "Honestly, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I mean you treated AJ so well. I think everybody here is in collective shock and awe. That she wouldn't want to marry such a nice guy."
"Now here you are...Throwing a tantrum, breaking stuff, throwing a fit. And I guess I would if I was in your shoes too. Because AJ has just been made the new general manager of Raw." Punk had a laugh in his voice as all the things AJ could do to get back at Daniel. Whether connected to the storyline or the ruse he made of the engagement. "And that can't bode well for your future. But I do wish you luck."
Now he might not be one to do this all the time, but when it came to Daniel he more than willing to kick him down further. "Now you can continue throwing a fit...I'm gonna continue being the WWE Champion and being the Best in the World." The smile never leaving Punk's features.
"Best in the World..." Daniel repeated. Speaking into the tacky white mic that had been used during the ceremony. "Best in the World. You're not even the best in this ring tonight...Now let me tell you something Punk. Not only am I better than you. Not only am I better than you, but I am the greatest WWE Superstar of all time!"
Punk eyes widened with mocking shock. "All time?" He questioned making sure his lips could be read even if Daniel, the crowd, or those watching at home couldn't see him.
"You hear me Punk!" Daniel shouted into his mic loud enough that Punk could have heard him without it. "GREATEST OF ALL TIME!" He shouted.
They locked gazes. Daniel still in a burning rage. Punk was beginning to get annoyed himself as he looked at Daniel's goatface. Apparently Daniel spoke the magic words as the catchphrase rang through the speakers, "If you SMELL what the ROCK is cooking!" Rang out.
Fans responded unanimously in excitement as the Legend came out to join the two men. While Daniel took steps back to keep distance. Punk turned only to see the man as he worked the crowd before coming down the ramp. Even as he went up on to the apron and stepped on the ropes his fist being thrown in the air. The crowd still loved him.
It made Punk disgusted. The man may be a Legend, but he was also suppose to be a current superstar. All his appearance only for certain events and pay-per-views. The reaction he got though wasn't for his many victories since he first returned, but for the past accomplishments from 9 years ago. Punk had about the same feelings as Cena did towards the man. He respected him, but he sure as hell didn't like him.
The Rock's attention was on Daniel. "You don't get to say who the greatest of all time is..." Rock started. Pausing he then pointed to the crowd, "They say who the greatest of all time is."
A chant of 'Rocky!' started through the arena.
"Since they said that. Then the People's champ says this, FINALLY THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO ST. LOUUUUUUUUIS!" He recited giving a mocking smile to Daniel.
Punk was aggravated with the presence of the "Great One", but he remained silent. After all he was being ignored. So why bother talking right now.
"See the Rock says-"
"Hey!" Even Punk was surprised by the boldness of Daniel to interrupt the man not that it would last.. "I don't know who you th-"
"Hey! Hey! Hey! No! No, no, no, no, no no! See you just don't cut the Rock off like that! You understand that! No , no. You don't cut the Rock off like that." He stepped toward Daniel who was now stepping back and nervously shifting on his feet.
Punk was doing all he could not to start laughing at the pathetic image of Daniel. As the crowd cheered, "Boots to asses!" Punk smiled and nodded. Somewhat disbelieved when Daniel began undoing his tux.
"No, no, no, no, no. You don't ever cut the Rock off like that. See what you don't understand, you don't understand this. See it was right here, where the Rock won his first WWE championship, was in St. Louis." He said. Punk rolled his eyes at the statement. No matter how the fans cheered for it no one was here to relive the past of the WWE.
"But the Rock isn't here right now to talk to Frodo." He said. He turned to Punk, who already knew that was the reason for his appearance. "The Rock is here to now talk about the WWE Championship. The Rock just got word that at the Royal Rumble, whoever the WWE Champion is...They will go one-on-one with the Great One. And that night they will defend their title against the Rock!"
Punk wasn't shocked by the announcement. What he said about Rock almost a year was true. He was a kiss ass, even better than Cena. So of course the great one got a title shot even without trying. He smiled anyway even though he was frustrated with the matter. "Well that is good news...for you. And you know, it is good news for me too. Cause I'll fill in the blank for you Rocky. That whoever will be WWE Champion, you're looking at him." He smirked with confidence.
"Tonight I'm gonna BEAT John Cena! And if you wanna match at Royal Rumble, well I wish the Royal Rumble was tomorrow. Cause I can't wait to jump in head first, CM Punk versus The Rock, sounds good to me. Now with all due respect, how I end John Cena tonight I'm gonna beat you at the Royal Rumble." Punk challenged. He didn't bother waiting longer. Dropping the mic with a thud he stepped out of the ring and to the back. Chants of his name following him as he went backstage.
A/N: Changed the end of that segment between Punk, Rock and Daniel. Next will have John and Punk's match. Also AJ and Punk's runaway bride fun.
not sure if I got the Frodo thing right. I've never seen Lord of the Rings, sorry for any fans.
