Chapter 18
Jordan and Lita were stopped dead in their tracks with pale faces as they stared at the people standing in front of them. Jordan gulped as she shook her head to try and make sure that this was real.
"What in the world are you doing here?" She asked softly.
"Well considering everything, Jeff's dad called us and asked us to come on down and give you some backup." Rhyno said with a grin. "We haven't been here in a long while I know but you don't have to worry about your match tonight with us walking you down." He said pointing to some of his friends that Jordan didn't recognize. "These guys are with me on TNA, the show that Jeff is thinking about going to."
"TNA? Jeff is going to leave the WWE?" Jordan asked unsure.
"He's thinking about it, but he won't do it if you need him and he definitely won't do it if you won't come with him." Rhyno said with a laugh.
"I never even thought about leaving the WWE. I guess I never really thought there were other options." Jordan said frowning a little.
"Yeah well there are. TNA is one of the most extreme wrestling companies though. You have to be able to go all the way in some of the toughest matches." Rhyno said shrugging. "You remember Sting right?"
"Yeah, I think anyone who has ever watched wrestling know's who Sting is." Jordan said nodding her head as she looked over and saw one of the craziest wrestlers around.
Jeff looked up as the door to his room opened again. He tried to smile when he saw his father walking towards him but it was just to hard. He was worried about Jordan and he was also worried about Lita. Everyone knew that Jordan and Lita were going to be in some big match tonight and it was killing him not to be able to be there to keep her safe in case Shawn decided he was going to try and hurt his little sister again.
"You should quit worrying; I already took care of everything." His dad said with a sigh.
"What do you mean?" Jeff asked him confused.
"I called some wrestlers at TNA. Rhyno said he would bring a group over there to keep an eye on Jordan and Lita." His dad said with a smirk on his face. He was clearly proud that he had thought of something that hadn't even crossed Jeff's mind.
"I hadn't told Jordan yet about my offer to leave WWE." Jeff whispered softly.
"Well her safety should be number one right now." His father reminded him. "Matt's still unconscious but the doctors are hopeful." He said suddenly.
Jeff nodded his head slowly as he thought about his brother and everything he must be going through. When Matt woke up he was going to feel worse than Jeff felt.
Jordan and Lita made their way down to the ring until they were just outside of it. They noticed the guys had taken their places at different points and they were feeling a little better about their match. Jordan climbed in first and Lita followed right behind. They still weren't sure who they were wrestling but they had a feeling they were going to regret even entering the ring, with or without the backup they had.
Edge stood in the back with Christian. Christian had recently told him he was transferring over to TNA and wanted Edge to join him. They were watching the monitor near the top of the ramp, trying to figure out what Shawn could be up to now. The match had been changed at the last minute, that much they knew. They weren't sure who the new opponents were going to be but they had a feeling that paramedics were going to be needed on standby.
The entrance music hit for their opponents but no one could recognize the music. Either someone had gotten new music or their opponents were new to RAW. They gulped when they saw the size of the two men walking down the ramp and glanced at each other. They waited patiently until the two men were ringside before they backed up a little. Vince appeared at the top of the ramp with a smirk on his face as he noticed the pale faces of the women in the ring.
"Just to let you know, tonight is a TLC match. We haven't had one of these in a while and I thought it would be the best way to get to know the abilities of our two newest wrestlers, Jake and Paul." Vince said pointing at the two mean looking guys.
Edge picked up his cell phone from where he had placed it on the table nearby and quickly called Jeff's dad's phone. He had agreed to update him with any new developments and he had a feeling this was going to be a necessary update.
"Hello?" Came the answer. Edge immediately recognized Jeff's voice.
"Jeff I thought this was your dad's phone." Edge said quickly.
"It is but he told me you were calling with updates and cell phone's aren't allowed in Matt's room." Jeff said. "What's the update?"
"It's been changed to a TLC match and with two new guys. These guys are huge Jeff, I don't think me and Christian could last in a TLC match with them, let alone Jordan and Lita."
"Damn." Jeff muttered.
"They have plenty of backup ringside. It's gonna be all right Jeff." Edge said quickly to try and keep him calm.
"Doubtful." Jeff said quickly.
Jordan and Lita were already nervous from seeing their opponents but upon learning what their new match was it was even more daunting. They both gulped again as they looked at each other nervously. A table, ladders and chairs match could only mean one thing, disaster. Jordan started to grin evilly and so did Lita. They were both at home in extreme wrestling, and ladders just happened to be Jordan's specialty. Vince didn't know it yet but he had just given Jordan and Lita some confidence in this match.
