Chapter 27: Earn
MONDAY NIGHT
The events of last nights Royal Rumble were still fresh in people's minds as Roman Reigns was the winner of this year's Royal Rumble match and would be headlining WrestleMania but the main story is the triple threat match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and how it could've gone either way but The Beast Incarnate was able to retain his title.
OUT OF MY WAY!
Out of my way hit and it was the entrance of The Red Dragon, David Redd who made his way out and was walking down to the ring with purpose as he entered the ring and had a mic.
"My name is David Redd…I'm not a good man." the crowd and everyone watching was confused by that statement.
"I'm not a bad man." again more confusion was felt.
"I'm just a man trying to survive in this crazy world and the business we call wrestling." he said as the confusion continued.
"Last night I had the biggest match of my life, throughout it I was Kirb Stomped, F5'd, got into a fight with a briefcase and I even got taken to Suplex City." David said.
"SUPLEX CITY! SUPLEX CITY! SUPLEX CITY!" the crowd chanted.
"However I had the title in my grasp several times but I was denied whether it be Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins or his security team I was not able to win the title and worse part was I wasn't pinned and that is why I am invoking my rematch clause and I want my rematch for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship…tonight!" David stated his intentions clearly.
Behold the king…the king of kings…
King of Kings hit and it was the entrance of The Authority and it was Triple H who emerged alone and he made his way down and into the ring and asked for a mic and faced David.
"David first off I wanted to say last night's match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship stole the show and yourself, Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar tore one another apart I mean everyone in the back could not believe how things escalated quickly and even how none of you would go down that easy but in the end The Beast once again conquered and left WWE World Heavyweight Champion." Hunter said praising last night's title match and it's combatants.
"And now to get to your request in having a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match tonight…it's not gonna happen." the crowd booed hearing that. "Brock Lesnar is not here tonight so you won't be getting a title match tonight, next week, the week after or the week after, you get my drift kid?" Hunter said taunting the fact he won't be given another opportunity at the title.
"Old man this is getting dull now, you know doing this is not going to end well for you so either you comply or I make you." David said as he dared the COO to come at him.
Here comes the money!
Here comes the money hit and out came The Supervisor to The Authority Shane McMahon to try and stop a possible altercation between the two men, he made his way down and into the ring and asked for a mic as he got in between the two of them.
"Ok guys let's settle down here, I think we can try to be civil here." Shane said trying to restore some order.
"Now we have a disagreement on both sides here and let's see what we can do, David you have the right to invoke your rematch clause but Hunter you said David cannot have a rematch?" Shane laid out the argument.
"I have a solution to this, how about this David you will have a match at WWE's next Pay per View called Fast Lane, if David wins he gets his title rematch at WrestleMania." Shane dropped a bombshell for WrestleMania.
"However Hunter this is the good news, you can pick his opponent for Fast Lane, so are we settled with this dispute?" Shane asked them both.
"That's fine by me sir, whatever our Chief Operator of Operations has in store I would like to say, I do not care who you pick, whether it be a superstar from this roster, NXT or even outside of this ring I will beat them and I will get my rematch and become WWE World Heavyweight Champion." David stated as he made it clear he wasn't going to lose this fight.
"You won't have to wait long, I'll tell you by the end of the night who you're facing and believe me whomever I pick will be of championship calibre just wait and see." Hunter said as the stage was set.
0-0-0-0-0
David was walking backstage until he bumped into someone he wasn't expecting to meet.
"I knew we'd have to talk about this." David said as he was face to face with Roman Reigns.
"The fact that I'm the one who's getting the next shot at Brock Lesnar or the fact that your trying to force your way into my match at WrestleMania?" Reigns said as he knew that he wasn't happy about what was going on.
"Wasn't my intention I wanted my rematch tonight but seems I have to earn that right once more so all I can say is if we both manage to make it to WrestleMania as you have Daniel Bryan to worry about." David pointed out as he must get past the challenge of Bryan who wanted his title back.
"Yeah so here's how it's going to play out, I beat Daniel Bryan, you beat whoever Hunter throws at ya and at WrestleMania we'll see who walks out champion." Reigns said as he extended his hand out to him.
"Wouldn't have it any other way good sir." David said accepting the handshake.
0-0-0-0-0
It was now later on and Triple H was out in the ring as he had a mic.
"I have made my decision on who will face David Redd at Fast Lane so David will you make your way out here?" Hunter called him out.
OUT OF MY WAY!
Out of my way hit and The Red Dragon made his way out and just went to the ring, he got in and was face to face with Triple H.
"I've had a long think about it, been through the selection process and have come to a decision and I present to you at this time your handpicked opponent." Hunter said as he pointed to the entranceway.
A LOW BLOW FROM TRIPLE H!?
A blindside assault by The Game as he then ripped his jacket and tie off and brought David up and hooked his arms in for A PEDIGREE! Driving him into the mat as Hunter grabbed the mic.
"You wanna know who you're facing?!" he then brought David up again.
Hooking his arms once more and A SECOND PEDIGREE! Hunter then threw David to the outside as he followed and started to tear the announce table up removing the covers and monitors and threw David on top of it he joined him up there and had the mic.
"Your opponent is..ME! I'm going to finish what I started at SummerSlam and I am going to end you at Fast Lane!" Hunter stated.
He hooked his arms and A THIRD PEDIGREE THROUGH THE TABLE!
The Cerebral Assassin had struck again as he left The Red Dragon laid out and was looking to end his championship hopes in the ground with him.
0-0-0-0-0
After the assault David was helped to the back as he was checked on by medical staff.
"Alright David I need you to look up." the doctor asked as he did. "Now left." as he did "Now right" as he did.
"Ok you're all good." he said giving the all clear.
David then saw a certain individual come in and knew what was coming. "Your going to say it so do it." he said.
"You're an idiot." It was Paige who was pointing out his mistake.
"Guess I should've seen it coming, he wants one last crack at me." David said knowing full well why he was called The Game.
"This is your only chance for a rematch so don't mess it up." she said as he lightly chuckled at that.
As then in came another concerned person.
"David are you ok oh god!?" it was his concerned girlfriend Sasha.
"I'm fine love, just a bit bruised that's all." David assured her as she gave him a quick kiss.
"It was a love tap compared to training everyday." Paige said trying to not make his beat down a big deal.
"No I'd rather more training with your parents and brothers than have to share a bathroom with you and Becks for two weeks." David said referring to a memory long ago.
"Ah good times still remember the face you made when we scared you in the shower." Paige said trying to humiliate him.
"Yes and how'd that work out for you both?" David asked.
"You put hair dye in our shampoo's and we had pink hair for two weeks." Paige said as that made Sasha laugh out loud.
Both looked at her a bit confused. "What's so funny?" David asked.
"Can't believe that's how you lived under one roof and I thought you were exaggerating a lot of it." Sasha said now believing his stories.
"No it wasn't stories this was a regular day for us." David said as Paige nodded like it was normal.
"At first everyone thought there was something going on between you two but now I'm starting to think you just tried to slowly and painfully destroy one another." Sasha said as they again had that awkward silence when the subject of them as more than this was brought up.
"I'm going to go, see you after." Paige said leaving them to it.
Sasha then looked him in the eye. "Dave tell me there's nothing going on between you two?" she asked now concerned about their relationship.
"There's nothing like that going on it's just how we are and what we have is much different and me and her can never be like that so don't worry." David said as he kissed her. "This is what I want." he said making it clear.
MONDAY NIGHT
After last week's show had an explosive end to it most were not only talking about Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar after their confrontation but were also talking about another match that could impact the main event at WrestleMania between David Redd and Triple H.
The Chief Operator of Operations said he would find him an opponent to face him for his rematch at the grandest stage of them all and with a blindside assault revealed it was himself.
But this had not gone well with his Supervisor nor the Board of Directors as both Hunter and Shane were in the ring.
"Hunter I have to say you surprised us all throwing yourself into a match with David Redd once more after what happened the last time you and him went one on one but I guess this means it's Triple H vs. David Redd 3 but how you went about it was not becoming of a man in your position of authority and until after Elimination Chamber the Board has revoked your power of authority." Shane stated as Hunter was furious he was not in power till then.
"But good news until then you'll be back on the active roster to shake off the ring rust and you'll be in a match tonight against Daniel Bryan." Shane dropped another bombshell as not only would he be back in action but it would be a rematch from WrestleMania as the crowd was loving that.
0-0-0-0-0
Bryan was backstage getting himself ready for his match with Triple H and was looking forward to another encounter with his arch nemesis.
"Guess I wasn't the only one who was benefiting from this power vacuum." it was David and both men greeted one another.
"This is great I get my hands on him again and show him WrestleMania was no fluke, but best part he's not in charge for a few weeks he's one of us till after Fast Lane." Bryan said loving the fact he'd get to relive his moment from last year.
"And not only that I will also be on commentary to "scout" my opponent." David said revealing he would be on commentary for the match.
"So a lot of "scouting" will be going on then?" Bryan asked as David grinned knowing what he meant.
0-0-0-0-0
Raw came back from commercial as it cut to the announcer's desk.
"Ladies and gentlemen joining us for this matchup tonight is none other than The Red Dragon, David Redd welcome David." Cole introduced as David shook his hand.
He shook JBL's hand and King's also as he took a seat next to them and put on his headset.
"David I have to ask you why are ya really out here?" JBL asked.
"I just want to watch a WrestleMania rematch like a true fan and to scout my opponent in two weeks." David explained.
The Game hit and out came Triple H in full ring gear as he was ready and did his usual entrance as made his way down to the ring.
"Here comes the man in charge, The Game, The Cerebral Assassin, The King of Kings and the Head of The Authority Triple H! how are ya gonna beat him this time?" JBL asked David.
"Well John good question and I'll answer it with this, just like I did at SummerSlam despite my loss to him I was able to redeem that loss at Hell in the Cell I will once again defeat him and furthermore if he has a need to bring any "help" with him then…" David brought out and dropped in front of them his crowbar. "…I'll bring my own." he stated.
Hunter did his pose and was looking directly at David as he awaited the arrival of his opponent.
Ride of the Valkyries hit and out came the Leader of The Yes Movement, Daniel Bryan and immediately the chants "YES!YES!YES!" erupted from the WWE Universe.
"Here comes the man who defeated The Game last year at WrestleMania and earned his way into the WWE World Heavyweight title match which he went on to win." Cole said.
"True there Cole, Daniel Bryan did the near impossible and win two matches in one night and beat the very best in this industry but can he prove it once again tonight?" King asked the question.
"I don't know King, people say that win was a fluke can he prove it wasn't?" JBL asked another question.
"I say he can and the old man needs to realise that he is not the same as he used to be in his glory days." David said as he watched Hunter's attention shifting from him to Bryan each time.
The bell rang and both men locked up they began a battle of holds as one had a counter for the other as it began to intensify quickly between them.
"David you have any strategy besides having your "help" going into your match at FastLane?" Cole asked him.
"Simple outplay The Game and pretty much get into his head which I've clearly done as they're coming over here." David said as BRYAN HIT A SUICIDE DIVE TO TRIPLE H!
Both men continued to fight even after that big move as it spilled over the announce desk as everyone got out of the way and let them fight it out as Hunter got the upper hand he pounded Bryan on top of the table and then looked to David and began making an example out of Bryan as David could do nothing but watch on as Raw cut to commercial.
"We're back here live, this is Monday Night Raw and joining us at commentary is The Red Dragon David Redd and Triple H vs. Daniel Bryan going on and Triple H has taken the advantage." Cole said as the action continued.
"Right there Michael, our illustrious COO of WWE has dominated Daniel Bryan and so far it's been a one way clinic." JBL said.
"Wonder how Daniel is going to get back in this?" King said.
"I know Daniel and he'll find a way, he's the most resilient man in this company and when it's all on the line he's at his best." David stated.
The Game was looking to end it with a Pedigree but Bryan countered as he had him to his knees and the kicks began.
"YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!…YES!" the kicks connected as now Bryan was looking to finish it as he lined up Triple H for the flying knee.
But Hunter decided to roll to the outside and then began to look underneath the ring and was looking around the ring for something as he was irritated and confused.
"Oh Hunter!" David called out to him and presented something from underneath the announce table. "Looking for this?" it was the sledgehammer he has taken his weapon away.
But then out came the rest of The Authority and knew what was going to happen next.
"Excuse me gents." David said taking his headset off and joined Bryan in the ring armed with the crowbar as they were surrounded.
Truth reigns hit and that was the entrance of Roman Reigns, he quickly made his way through the crowd, hopped the barrier and joined David and Bryan in the ring as now the odds had gotten better.
The Authority charged the ring and the fight was on and the three men were holding their own as most of them had retreated but J & J were left alone as David had Noble up SEEING RED! Bryan from the corner and to Mercury FLYING KNEE! They brought both men up and Reigns loaded it up and DOUBLE SUPERMAN PUNCH!
They fell to the outside as David, Bryan and Reigns stood tall and had made The Authority fall back as now things had gotten intense with FastLane only weeks away will there be repercussion for this?
So David has one more chance to get his rematch will he make it to FastLane? What does Triple H have in store for him?
What you think? Reviews please!
