Chapter 13: Not Taken Seriously Part 1
Monday Night Raw: Austin, Texas - Frank Erwin Center, February 4th, 2008
Sheree sighed blissfully as she sat in the passenger seat of John Cena's Ford Mustang GT.
The young woman wore an old 'Ruthless Aggression' themed hoodie and a black V-neck crop top, leaving her toned midriff exposed. She also wore black faded jeans which was fastened by a black belt, with a small chibi version of Revy from Black Lagoon attached to it in the form of a key chain and ankle-high heeled boots.
Sheree released another blissful sigh as she affectionately ran her hand over the dashboard of the car, listening to the powerful roar of the Mustang's engine.
"Seriously Felix. You've got one sexy ride here. You've gotta let me take it out for a spin some day," Sheree said, smirking at the thought.
John snorted and rolled his eyes at the woman as he drove down the streets of Austin, heading towards the Frank Erwin Center for Monday Night Raw. Sheree has always had a thing for sports cars, preferably the muscle cars. Though he can't say he's surprised by this. Sheree's mother owns a Dodge Charger 1969 and that's not even mentioning what her eldest sister does for a living. Sheree has been eyeing up his Ford Mustang for years, so he guessed it ran in the family. As for letting her drive it though...
"No way!" John retorted, smirking in amusement when Sheree pouted at him.
"Aw come on Felix!"
"Nope!"
Sheree crossed her arms and began to sulk, glaring at him from the corner of her eyes.
John shook his head at the woman. I swear... she's like a little kid sometimes...
"Why won't you let Sheree drive your car John? She's not that bad of a driver," Jenna, who was sat in the back, asked. "She's an excellent driver actually."
For some reason, the female Raw commentator was wearing her twin sister's favourite leather jacket hoodie, and wore a retro 'Austin 3:16' themed t-shirt, black pants and a pair of heels. John chuckled.
"Do you really wanna know?" he replied, grinning at Sheree's look of horror.
"Don't you dare!"
John ignored her.
"Remember when Sheree took off and went to Miami for a year?" he asked.
"Don't ignore me Felix!" Sheree growled with an annoyed scowl on her face, which worsened when the former WWE Champion continued to do so, his grin widening with mischief.
"Yeah how could I forget..." Jenna replied with a chuckle. "Sheree was in that rebellious stage. You should have seen mom's face when she found out!"
"Like you were any better!" Sheree snapped at her twin.
"Do you wanna guess what she was doing throughout that whole year?" John continued.
"John Felix Anthony Cena, if you don't shut it I'll make sure you don't make it to No Way Out!" Sheree threatened with her best Huxley glare, making John chuckle.
"I wanna say she was wrestling, but something tells me I'm gonna be wrong," Jenna quipped in amusement.
"Yep! I was definitely wrestling!" Sheree yelped rather quickly, making Jenna grin at her in amusement, not convinced.
"She was street racing," John answered, earning himself a scathing glare from the woman beside him.
"What?! Street racing?! What the fuck Sheree!" Jenna exclaimed, staring at her twin sister in shock.
"What? It looked like fun!"
"You could have gotten a criminal record! Or WORSE!"
"She definitely would have done if it weren't for your father sending me after her," John added. Sheree huffed.
"Like I needed your help..." she retorted, crossing her arms and turning away from John in annoyance.
"Does mom know about this?" Jenna asked her sister curiously.
The brunette-haired woman snorted in return. "What do you think?!"
Jenna smirked mischievously at that. "Ah, so she doesn't know."
Sheree gave John a "See what you've done now" glare. She knew that tone well. It was usually the tone that got her in trouble when she was a little girl.
Jenna gave her twin sister a smug grin. "Wait till mom hears bout this one! She's gonna flip!"
Sheree glared at John with even more intensity.
"I'm gonna kill you in your sleep and steal your car."
"Yeah, yeah. Save the idle threats for the ring."
. . . .
Once the trio made it to the arena, they were greeted by Christy and Beth, who was decked out in street clothes.
"Hey Sheree. Could we talk for a moment?" Christy asked as the three individuals got out of the car.
"Oooh, someone's in trouble!" Jenna teased.
"Put a sock in it," Sheree drawled whilst pulling her suitcases out of the boot of the car, unamused by her twin sister's teasing.
"We'll see you later on," John said whilst placing his bag over his shoulder, also ending up somehow carrying Jenna's bags, before heading off with the black-haired woman, Sheree watching in amusement as her twin proceeded to jump onto the big man's back.
Sheree shook her head at her sister's antics before turning back towards her boss and Beth. "What's up?"
"Well, I've just found out that we're the first match on the card after that WWE Championship Contract signing," Beth explained, making Sheree raise an eyebrow, before smirking at Christy.
"Me and Beth are having a Royal Rumble rematch already?"
Christy chuckled, shrugging. "The fans really liked your last encounter so why not?"
"But that's not all. Since it's the first match on the card, you guys really don't have time to do anything before then, so I was thinking since we've got a few more hours, how about you guys do a segment before the show starts?" the young woman inquired, handing them their scripts for the night.
Sheree looked through the script, smiling. "Sounds like fun!"
"Also... you two better be prepared to work extra hard tonight," Christy added. "It's a double taping."
"I almost forgot about that," Beth commented with a grin. "We've got a busy couple of weeks ahead of us."
Sheree shrugged, her smile widening.
"Sounds like even more fun!"
. . . .
A few minutes before Raw starts...
"Paul's not here tonight?" Jessie repeated her best friends words with a curious look on her face, appearing surprised by this. She had just come out of the shower so her hair was slightly damp, and a white towel was wrapped around her naked form as she sat on the bench inside the Divas locker room.
"That's what I said," Charlotte said, wearing a black "Avenged Sevenfold" t-shirt. She also wore black leather skin-tight pants, and a pair of black knee-length high heeled boots. And of course, wrapped around her fists and going up her arms was white wrist-tape. There was also a leather black jacket hanging on the door of her locker behind her.
The self proclaimed Queen of Queens narrowed her eyes at the Nashville native as she sat next to the woman, the brunette's arms crossed and her right leg hanging over her left. "Please don't tell me you're gonna walk around in a towel all day..."
A tantalizing smile appeared on Jessie's face at that, her hazel-green eyes twinkling in amusement.
"I don't see why not. Vince definitely won't complain," was Jessie's reply, stretching her slender arms out above her head in a suggestive manner.
"I seriously hope you're joking," Charlotte retorted flatly, making Jessie laugh, before standing up and proceeding to get herself ready for tonight.
"So, why has Paul decided to no show anyway?" Lisa asked Charlotte.
A chuckle vibrated from Jessie's chest as she quickly put on a fresh pair of bra and panties.
"He probably forgot his shovel," she retorted, gaining a few laughs from the other Divas.
"Ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny," Charlotte replied sarcastically with a faint look of amusement, before frowning. "It's his brother-in-law's funeral today."
At this the entire locker room fell silent.
"Oh..." Jessie muttered as a sad expression appeared on her face. "... Now I feel like a bitch for teasing..."
Charlotte smiled at her friend. "Don't worry about it. It's not like you knew."
"So I guess that's why Stephanie isn't here either?" Lisa questioned with a frown, getting a nod from Charlotte.
"Since Paul isn't here tonight, what are you gonna do?" Ashley asked the former 2-Time Women's Champion.
Charlotte just smirked at the snapback-wearing bombshell.
"Lets just say Mr. Layfield should have eyes in the back of his head," she said, her smirk now looking rather evil, sending a shiver down the spine of some of the women that saw it.
"Do you have to be so scary about it..." Maria Kanellis muttered, making Charlotte laugh lightly.
"Sorry. Can't help it sometimes."
The door suddenly swung open to reveal the WWE Champion Randy Orton with a smug grin on his face. "Ladie-"
A towel to the face caught his attention, making him turn towards the culprit in annoyance.
"What was that for Kerry?" the man asked through clenched teeth.
"Asshole!" the blonde-haired woman growled, wearing ankle high boots, Denim shorts and a red bra. "You don't just walk into our locker room like that! Get out!"
Randy smirked at his protégé, holding the WWE Championship up for her to see.
"I'm the WWE Champion Kerry. I can do whatever I want," he replied in a matter-of-fact tone, making Kerry scowl in annoyance and embarrassment.
"Like a care! Get out!"
Randy chuckled before glancing at Jessie, who was now fully clothed, wearing a v-neck black crop top version of Shawn Michaels' 'You Can't Kill What's Not Your Creation' shirt. The Nashville native also wore white pants which was tucked into black knee length stilettos.
"Damn... I should have got here earlier. I wanted to catch you in a towel again," he quipped with a grin, making most of the women's jaw drop at his boldness.
Jessie just chuckled. "Maybe next time sweetheart."
"Jessie!" Charlotte exclaimed, staring at her best friend with wide eyes.
"Get the fuck out, you pervert!" Kerry raged, throwing another towel at the WWE Champion, who moved out of the way with a laugh, smirking at the annoyed scowl on the woman's face.
"Hurry up will you! We're up in a few minutes," Randy quipped to the angry blonde before leaving, his laughter being heard from the changing room as he walked down the corridor.
"Obnoxious prick," Kerry growled whilst putting on a black 'Legend Killer' themed T-Shirt. "I can't wait for the day they let me turn on him!"
"Yeah... somehow I don't see that ever happening," Maria commented with a smile, before turning towards Jessie. "I can't believe you just did that?! Ain't you both married?"
Jessie just shrugged in an uncaring way. "It's just harmless flirting. It's not like I'm gonna jump into his bed. My husband's probably bigger anyway."
Kerry visibly choked out a laugh, whilst all the other women snorted.
"I'mma tell him you said that," the blonde quipped with amusement, smirking at the mischievous brunette vixen.
"Just be careful kay. You have a knack for getting in serious trouble whenever it involves men," Charlotte said as she eyed her best friend with a worried expression on her face.
"For the last time Charlotte, I was drunk and had no idea Dwayne was gonna be there," Jessie retorted in annoyance.
"Wait a minute... YOU SLEPT WITH THE ROCK?!" Ashley blurted out, staring at Jessie in shock along with most of the other women, while Lisa smirked.
"Ya gave The Great One some poontang pie huh?" she joked, making Charlotte choke out a laugh, while the Nashville Vixen glared at the bike-loving woman, face flushed in embarrassment.
"No... I got a little drunk and somehow ended up in his bed. Nothing happened," Jessie growled through clenched teeth in annoyance.
"... I don't know why, but I don't believe you..." Mickie muttered.
"Neither do I..." Ashley added.
"I didn't sleep with The Rock!" Jessie exclaimed, face turning a darker shade of red in embarrassment.
Kerry chuckled. "Your... err... conquests..."
"I hate you," Jessie retorted with a flat, unamused look on her face as she glared at the New Yorker.
"... Are interesting to hear..." Kerry continued with a smirk of amusement.
"...But I'd better get going. I'm in the first segment with Cena and Orton, and if I don't get a move on that sneaky pervert is gonna come back." The blonde checked herself in the mirror to see if everything was in the right place. It would do her no good if she ended up suffering a wardrobe malfunction in the middle of a contract signing.
"Just make sure to go easy on Cena. He's fragile," Charlotte joked with a chuckle as Kerry made her way out.
"Fragile my ass! I could kick the fucker 20 times in the head and he'd still kick out at 2! Asshole's lucky I'm only gettin' a few hits in!" Kerry muttered darkly before leaving.
"She is so mean!" Mickie exclaimed, chuckling along with Charlotte and some of the other Divas at Kerry's response.
. . . .
"To Be Loved" by Papa Roach played throughout the arena as the opening pyrotechnics went off in the Frank Erwin Center, the show officially getting started with the loud and ruckus Austin, Texas crowd roaring with excitement.
"The WWE is on there way to Las Vegas at No Way Out! But tonight, 13, 562 has sold out in The Drum at the University of Texas in Austin!" JR said.
"And only 8 days since returning to the WWE, John Cena is gonna test his surgically repaired pectoral muscle by taking on the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry, in an Arm Wrestling Match!" King added as graphics were shown of said match.
"Cena's done a lot of crazy things. Trust me, I know from personal experience. This was a reckless move on his part! Mark Henry might just rip his arm off!" Jenna exclaimed.
"I betcha Orton and Kerry would pay to see that!" King chuckled.
"Also coming up tonight, Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. McMahon is going to force his little son Hornswoggle to join the Mr. McMahon Kiss My Ass club here tonight!" JR said.
"Eww..." Jenna groaned in disgust.
With the graphics over, the cameras cut to the ring, which was decorated in a red carpet with a table in the middle. And sitting on the table with one leg crossed over the other, was Kerry, who had a look of disdain on her face as she overlooked the Austin crowd that was booing her and the WWE Champion Randy Orton, who was stood next to her with that cold and stoic look on his face as their music played in the background. Behind them were two men dressed in suits.
"The WWE Champion Randy Orton and Kerry has taken centre stage if you will, in the squared circle here tonight," JR commented.
"Ugh... It's my second week and I already can't stand em!" Jenna retorted.
"Hey! That's the WWE Champion and the Greatest Diva of all time you're talking about! You could at least show a tiny bit of respect!" King quipped, amused by the woman's irritation towards the venomous duo.
"When pigs fly!" Jenna snapped back as Randy slipped the prestigious, gold-studded spinner belt off his shoulders and lifted it above his head with one hand, garnering a heated negative reaction from the fans.
"The man that will meet John Cena 13 days till now for the WWE Title! Cena did not want to wait until WrestleMania, after he won the Royal Rumble Match 8 days ago!" JR reminded everyone.
"Another reckless decision made by Cena, right Jenna?" King said to the woman.
"Yeah... but like I keep saying, Cena could walk out of No Way Out with the gold!" Jenna replied.
Orton placed the WWE Title on the table, before taking a clipboard from one of the men stationed in the ring and looking over the papers with calm concentration as his music faded into the background.
The boos only increased with volume, making Kerry scowl slightly, and making Randy look up from the papers in his hand, looking slightly taken aback by the heated boos from the fans.
Randy poked his mouth with his tongue in slight annoyance when the Austin crowd proceeded to chant 'You suck! You suck! You suck!' making Kerry scowl.
"SHUT UP AND SHOW SOME RESPECT!" the former 2-Time Women's Champion snapped through the microphone, garnering even more heat from the crowd and causing them to chant even louder.
"No secret Austin has always lacked respect..." King muttered with distaste.
"Put a sock in it..." Jenna drawled, in no mood to hear King sucking up to the WWE Champion.
Kerry and Orton stayed quiet, annoyance clear on their faces as the Austin crowd continued to chant, both silently deciding to let the fans wear themselves out, before Orton began to speak.
"What I have here in my hand is an official WWE Championship Contract," Orton explained to the crowd, causing the fans to jeer and boo with distaste. Orton looked over the contract again before continuing.
"Last week John Cena accepted my challenge..." Randy paused as the Frank Erwin Center practically exploded as soon as John Cena was mentioned, making Kerry roll her eyes at their excessive screaming. Of course there was a fair amount of boos, but that was drowned out by the cheers.
When Orton was sure the fans had calmed down he continued.
"He accepted my challenge to apply his Royal Rumble win, in a championship match at No Way Out against me," the WWE Champion said. The man looked down at the contract, a small smirk appearing on his face as he shook his head.
"The thing of it is, John Cena's word... means nothing to me!" the WWE Champion proclaimed, making Kerry nod in obvious agreement with a grin on her face, while the fans booed and jeered in response.
"That is why I want it in writing!" Orton continued. "I want it in writing so there's no way John Cena can back out in 2 weeks. So there's no way John Cena can claim that he is not fully recovered. I want this contract signed, so that for John Cena... There is No. Way. Out."
The fans booed slightly at that.
"Which is why I had my lawyers draw up this contract, which I have signed," Orton said, gesturing towards the two men in the ring with him and Kerry, before looking up at the stage, ignoring the loud chants of 'Cena! Cena! Cena!' that resounded throughout the arena.
"So John Cena!" Orton called out, causing the fans to scream out in excitement.
"All you need to do, is come out here, have a seat, and sign this contract," Orton said as both he and Kerry waited for the Cenation leader to appear, a grin appearing on Kerry's face when the man failed to show up.
"I could always wait until WrestleMania! If that's what you wanna do, I'm fine by that, it's your cho-"
Randy was cut off by the sight of John Cena appearing on the titantron, walking through the backstage area with a purpose as he headed towards the ring.
"Uh-oh!" King exclaimed.
A rather evil smirk appeared on Kerry's face at the sight of John Cena walking through the backstage area, while Orton chose to take a seat, putting his feet up on the table.
"I thought John Cena made it very clear, that he didn't want to wait until WrestleMania last week here on Monday Night Raw..." JR commented.
"He did, but being the obnoxious jerk that he is, Orton has to waste everyone's time with this pointless contract signing!" Jenna growled in annoyance as the Frank Erwin Center erupted into a monster screaming pop, "The Time is Now" blasting through the speakers, before Cena eventually appeared from behind the minitron, playing up to the hyped up crowd, before performing his "Word Life" taunt on the stage, making the Austin crowd scream louder.
"Well, the former champ is here!" JR cried out over the ruckus Austin crowd.
"And as always, this crowd is extremely loud!" Jenna added as Cena walked down the ramp, acknowledging some of the fans whilst making his way towards the ring, where Kerry and the WWE Champion were waiting. The Cenation leader slid into the ring and shot up to his feet, glaring at both Kerry and Orton before surveying the ruckus Austin crowd.
"Everyone is on their feet, except for Randy Orton and Kerry!" King said.
"A thunderous ovation here tonight for John Cena!" JR added as Cena eyed the WWE Championship with a look of longing in his eyes, ignoring the fact that Kerry's steel blue icy eyes were burning holes through him, a smirk on her face, silently daring the man to try something.
Orton moved the spinning W of the title, breaking Cena's focus on the coveted championship. The Cenation leader stared down the champion as he grinned smugly up at him, exuding confidence.
Cena looked briefly at Orton's legs placed lazily onto the table, before looking at Kerry, who was still sat on the table, with her legs crossed over the other, both oozing smugness and arrogance, with Kerry's smirk widening at the not so impressed look that appeared on the former champion's face.
John placed his hands on his hips, the fans cheering enthusiastically at his posture, before Cena threw up his "Word Life" taunt, earning a screaming pop from the fans in attendance.
Cena then shoved Kerry off the table, making her fall to the red-covered canvas, landing on her hands and knees, causing the fans to cheer in approval, laughing at the shocked expression that appeared on Kerry's face, as well as a few cat whistles whistling throughout The Drum at Kerry's compromising position on the carpeted mat.
"WHOA!" King exclaimed in surprise at Cena's boldness.
Orton's eyes widened slightly in equal surprise at what just happened, before his legs were suddenly shoved off the table as well, almost making him fall out of his chair.
Full of swagger, Cena took his seat as his theme song faded into the background, while a small smirk of amusement appeared on Orton's face. Kerry however, was most definitely not amused.
"Mind games already commencing..." JR commented.
"Um... Kerry does not looked pleased," Jenna noted nervously as the look on Kerry's face slowly changed from shock to burning anger.
"Oh boy! She's going red!" King exclaimed as Kerry scowled thickly, her whole face red with anger and embarrassment, her whole body shaking in rage as she slowly made it back to her feet, the loud chanting of 'Cena! Cena! Cena!' vibrating throughout the arena only serving to piss her off even more.
Slowly, Kerry turned and shifted her blue enraged eyes on the Cenation leader, chest heaving in anger, her fists clenched hard as John sent her a challenging smug smirk.
"Look at the eyes of Kerry! Nothing but rage!" JR said as the Austin fans began to get worked up, sensing a fight about to erupt between Cena and Kerry.
"I think we're about to have a fight on our hands!" Jenna added.
"Kerry... think very carefully about what you're about to do!" King warned.
"Kerry... Kerry! Calm down!" Orton warned, eyeing his long-time friend in worry. The last thing he wanted was for this to break down into a fight that Kerry most definitely didn't want, but the blonde-haired woman ignored him, anger taking over.
It didn't help that the fans were now chanting, 'Fight! Fight! Fight!' verbally poking at the woman and egging her on even more. The taunting smirk on Cena's face only made matters worse.
"Kerry is absolutely fuming!" JR exclaimed.
"Things are about to get hostile!" Jenna said in a sing-along voice, a small excited grin stretching across her face as she watched the stare down between John and Kerry.
"Please Kerry! Don't do- Oh no!" King cried out as Kerry suddenly launched at the smirking man, garnering a loud cheer from the Austin fans, only to boo in outrage when Orton suddenly pulled her back and away from John, having jumped out of his seat as soon as he saw the first sign of movement from the blonde haired woman.
"Kerry launched at Cena, but Orton stopped her in the nick of time!" JR exclaimed.
"Thank god for Orton! There was no telling what would have happened if he hadn't intervened!" King commented with relief.
"Yeah but look at her! Kerry wants a piece of Cena tonight!" Jenna added as the blonde haired woman fought against Orton's grip.
"LET ME GO!" Kerry roared, struggling to get out of Orton's grip, eyes wide and murderous as she stared down Cena.
"LET ME GO! I'M GONNA RIP HIM APART! LET ME GO!"
"Would you calm down!" Orton snapped, forcing the woman into the corner, but if anything that just made her angrier.
"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY! I'M GONNA KILL HIM! I'M GONNA FREAKIN' MURDER HIM!"
Kerry's words echoed throughout the arena, making Cena chuckle in amusement, while a small chant of 'Do it! Do it! Do it!' rose from the anti-Cena fans in attendance.
"Ah!" King screamed out in fear at her words.
"Doesn't take much to make her lose her temper huh..." Jenna quipped.
"Kerry loathes Cena! She HATES Cena so much!" JR commented.
Cena glanced at the crowd before looking back at the rage-filled woman in amusement, smirk widening as she tried to step past Orton to get to Cena, but he was having none of it, placing his long arms on either side of her and keeping her trapped in the corner.
"Calm the hell down!" Orton growled, face meters away from the blonde, his tone and the look in his eyes turning from calm to dangerous.
Kerry had enough sense to stop struggling, but was still seething in rage at Cena's actions.
"Calm down alright. Let me handle this," Orton said in a low, softer tone.
Kerry closed her eyes and breathed in and out.
"You good?" the WWE Champion asked.
Kerry opened her eyes and nodded, face stoic and unreadable, though by the way her body was tensing up and the killer look in her eyes, she was anything but calm, glaring at Cena in icy fury.
I guess that's as calm as she's gonna get... Orton sighed, backing away from the woman.
"It looks like Orton has calmed Kerry down for the moment..." JR observed.
"For the moment?! Have you seen the look in her eyes?!" Jenna exclaimed.
Orton sat back down, watching Kerry carefully before turning back to Cena, ignoring the amused smirk on the man's face while picking up the contract.
"Really smart trying to provoke her like that," Randy drawled, almost sounding sarcastic. "Really smart."
Cena shrugged in response, smirking.
"My attorneys, as well as yours has looked this over," Orton said as a small 'Cena Sucks! Cena Sucks! Cena Sucks!' chant resounded throughout the arena.
"All we need, is for you to sign it." Randy pushed the contract towards the man sitting opposite him, who stared at the WWE Champion flatly.
"If it will make ya happy..." Cena replied with a non-caring shrug, before signing the contract and pushing the now signed contract back to Orton, causing the fans to cheer in response.
"Wow..." JR murmured in slight surprise.
"That didn't take long!" King said.
"Signed, sealed and delivered!" Jenna added.
Cena held his arms out, gesturing towards the crowd, before pointing to himself, Orton and the WWE Title. "You and me, No Way Out."
Randy looked back at Kerry in amusement, who smirked a little, though her eyes still held that killer gleam in them, before the self proclaimed Legend Killer turned his attention back at Cena.
"Now that was easy wasn't it John," Orton drawled, handing the contract back to his attorneys, before turning back to his adversary, both men staring each other down from across the table. "I guess... Cena I guess I'll see you in 2 weeks."
"But just so you know..." the WWE Champion continued, narrowing his eyes at the challenger.
"... Tonight when you have an Arm Wrestling Match with Mark Henry and for some reason, he tears that fully recovered pec of yours... you and I..." Orton stood up, glaring down at John.
"... Are still on at No Way Out regardless!" Orton exclaimed, causing Cena to pull off his hat and quickly stand up, pushing the chair he was sitting on away. Cena glared at Orton, silently daring him to make a move, the fans cheering in excitement as it looked like the two were about to throw hands.
Orton placed the mic onto the table whilst staring down Cena, Kerry calmly standing just behind the WWE Champion, that same icy glare still directed at the previous WWE Champion.
"Sounds like wishful thinking- Wait a minute!" JR suddenly cried out.
"Hey!" King cried out in slight shock.
"Cena better turn around!" Jenna warned as Mark Henry ran down the ramp, looking to blindside an oblivious Cena.
"There is the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry!" JR exclaimed.
John turned around on instinct, making Henry stop in his tracks, while Cena dared him to get into the ring. "Henry trying to- Hey wait a minute!"
"What the heck!" Jenna cried out in shock, eyes wide, the fans letting loose a mixed reaction at Kerry jumping Cena from behind, laying into him with rapid rights to his head.
"Kerry is attacking Cena!" JR exclaimed.
"What?!" Jenna shouted out in shock.
"Kerry! Have you gone mad?!" King cried out in equal shock.
"Kerry is really going for it! Look at those rights!" Jenna exclaimed as Kerry punched away at Cena with rapid rights to the head and face, eyes wild in rage.
Cena eventually managed to shove the angry blonde off him, eyes wide in surprise and anger. He never saw Orton coming until it was too late.
"Look out!" King called out as Orton jumped over the table and struck with an RKO to Cena before he could go after Kerry.
"OHHH!" Jenna exclaimed as Cena's head bounced off the canvas.
"Oh! RKO! RKO from the champion!" JR cried out.
The crowd booed in anger as a huge smirk stretched across Kerry's face, revelling in the look of pain and anguish on Cena's face as he held the back of his neck in pain.
"Look at that huge, filthy smirk on Kerry's face! She loved every minute of that!" Jenna spat with disgust as Orton rolled his neck and stared down at his No Way Out opponent with a cold and calm look on his face. He tilted his head to the side, while Kerry laughed in glee at the pain Cena was in right now, both ignoring the officials that ran down the ramp, stopping Mark Henry from getting into the ring.
Kerry and Randy continued to stare down at John Cena coldly as "Burn in My Light" played throughout the arena to a reception of boos.
"Mark Henry distracted John Cena, allowing Kerry to pounce. And then when Cena finally got himself free of that demoness, Randy Orton, like a viper, striking with the RKO, suddenly, effectively and emphatically!" JR said as Orton grabbed the WWE Championship from off the table, never taking his eyes off John who was squirming in pain on the red carpet covered mat, both he and Kerry looming over the challenger for the WWE Championship.
"That's what you get for messing with us John! That's what you get!" Kerry growled whilst pointing at him, a smirk of total satisfaction on her face.
"Last week John Cena said 'I'm coming to get me some!' referring to Randy Orton, and Cena did just that! There is no doubt that Randy Orton has retaliated already here tonight!" JR exclaimed.
"Cena should know better! You never turn your back on a snake! Especially ones as dangerous and as venomous as Kerry and Randy Orton!" King added.
"For once I agree with you King! Cena turns his back for a moment, Kerry takes advantage, and Orton picks up the scraps! Cena was caught off guard!" Jenna replied.
Kerry and Orton left the ring, backing slowly up the ramp and watching as Cena stirred and leaned against the table, glaring at the two in anger whilst gripping the back of his neck in pain. Orton raised the title above his head, receiving a loud negative reaction from the Austin crowd in response.
. . . .
Kerry and Randy exited the gorilla, walking down the steps, only to be greeted by Beth, Sheree and Lisa, with Lisa wearing casual street wear, while both Beth and Sheree were already in their wrestling gear, with Sheree wearing the brand new 'Headstrong' black sleeved crop top she wore last week, with the lettering being in bold red writing. She also wore her black-faded skinny jeans that were fastened by a black thick strap, and tucked into a pair of her black knee-pads and her black lace-up knee high boots with the silver studs running across the back, complete with a pair of her black kick-pads and a pair of her leather black fingerless gloves.
"Hey! Where were you two earlier?" Kerry asked her fellow New Yorker and the brunette Bostonian.
"We were doing a little segment before the show started," Beth explained.
"Has any of you seen Melina? I just noticed that she isn't here," Sheree said with a curious look on her face.
"I heard Dray gave her the night off," Kerry replied.
"It's probably to take the heat off her for that vicious chair shot to the head that she gave Roxy last week on Smackdown. I heard management was not happy," Randy added.
"Yeah... I saw that. She's not gonna get in trouble for that is she?" Sheree asked with a faint look of worry.
"Nah... I don't think it's that serious..." Kerry stated, nonchalant. "SmackDown will be in Corpus Christi tomorrow, and then Houston the following day, so Dray and the old man probably wants Melina there for those shows."
"They're doing a two-night taping?" Lisa questioned with a raised brow.
"Yep!" Kerry confirmed with a nod. "We are BUSY this week."
"It's cuz we'll be in Europe for the live shows for this week and the following week," Randy explained, smirking at Kerry. "And our first stop is Alaska."
"Ugh!" the blonde woman groaned. "I hate the cold!"
Lisa chuckled at Kerry's antics, before smiling reassuringly at Sheree. "Anyway Melina's fine. Roxy ain't gonna let them bother her, so Vince and WWE management can't really do anything about it, other then warn them not to do it again."
"How so?" Sheree asked curiously.
"I'd like to see the old man try and tell Roxy she can't do something. She just has to look at him a certain way and he's sweating buckets!" Kerry retorted with a chuckle of amusement.
"Roxy is the only woman aside from maybe Stephanie, Jessie and Charlotte, that has some pull around here on certain things," John Cena explained as he exited the gorilla, having heard the last part of the conversation. "She has a habit of denying it though. She doesn't realize how much pull she has around here."
"Well... I guess being the leader of the Divas Division has its perks," Sheree said with a small grin.
"Doesn't it ever! I wish I was in Roxy's shoes," Lisa replied.
"And at least she's not like Amy, who threw her weight around a lot," Kerry muttered with an irritated frown.
"You really gotta let that go," Randy sighed.
"No one tells me to get changed in the corridors Randy! No one!"
"Alright, alright! No need to get riled up!"
Sheree chuckled at their antics while Cena, Beth and Lisa simply watched in amusement.
The Bostonian reached down and adjusted her knee-pads, before smiling at Beth. "We'd better get going."
Beth nodded in agreement, smirking at the younger woman. "Didn't think we'd get round 2 so early."
"Me neither to be honest," Sheree replied with a chuckle.
"Don't get reckless out there alright kid," John warned the brunette with a playful grin, who scoffed.
"Please, I'm never reckless!" she retorted, before walking off towards the gorilla position with Beth.
Cena frowned and turned towards Kerry, Lisa and Randy. "Just wait until that Huxley mentality of hers starts showing up."
The trio laughed in amusement.
"That bad huh?" Lisa questioned with a smirk.
"You have no idea," John replied with a shake of his head.
. . . .
"Glamazon" by Jim Johnston played throughout the arena as Beth Phoenix walked out to a small reception, a faint scowl on her face as she performed her taunt, raising her hands theatrically above her head.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Buffalo, New York, Beth Phoenix the Glamazon!" Lilian Garcia announced, as the Amazonian woman stormed down the rampway.
"The Glamazon seems to be in a worse mood than Mark Henry!" King gulped, eyeing the scowl on the woman's face in slight fear.
"The Glamazon Beth Phoenix, set to go one on one with your twin Jenna, Sheree Louise," JR noted.
"Yeah... from what I've heard, Sheree and Beth got into a heated confrontation backstage before Raw went on the air, which led to this match," the black-haired Bostonian explained as Beth Phoenix entered the ringside area, ignoring the fans and pulling herself up onto the apron, climbing up onto the turnbuckle and theatrically throwing her arms up into the air, before back flipping off the turnbuckle and into the ring.
"Beth Phoenix has been in a terrible mood ever since Sheree defeated her at the Royal Rumble," JR said as the Glamazon stepped away from the corner, her scowl deepening with anger when a video package of the altercation between her and Sheree appeared on the titantron.
. . . .
Earlier, Before Raw went on air...
Sheree Louise opened the double doors that led to the backstage area, pulling along two suitcases that held her wrestling gear as well as her other items and clothing, strolling down the corridors of the Frank Erwin Center.
"Excuse me, Sheree?"
Sheree paused and smiled as Raw interviewer Todd Grisham approached her with a microphone in hand and a cameraman behind him.
"What's up Todd!" Sheree greeted with an easy-going smile.
"At the Royal Rumble you earned the right to challenge for the WWE Women's Championship by defeating former Women's Champion Beth Phoenix, in a match that you earned by pinning Victoria," Todd noted, to which Sheree nodded, her smile widening slightly. "But they have not forgotten this. It seems like they have some kind of vendetta against you."
Sheree chuckled, her smile widening into a grin of amusement. "Here's the problem with Beth Phoenix and Victoria. They seem to think I'm stealing their spotlight. The truth is, whatever spotlight they had... is gone."
"Victoria was once one of the most insane, yet crafty women to hold a Women's Title. Beth Phoenix, one of the most dominant Women's Champions in history. But as soon as someone came along to knock them off their pedestals..."
Sheree held her arms out wide, nonchalant. "Nothing. They fell off. They fell off hard."
"I have a guaranteed shot at the Women's Championship. They don't. And that ticks them off! They think I don't have what it takes to be champion. Which is laughable coming from them considering I beat them both to get to this spot. If that isn't enough proof, then I don't know what is!" the Bostonian commented with a chuckle. "As far as I'm concerned, I have nothing to prove to them."
"While we're on the subject, when are you going to challenge for the Women's Championship?" Todd asked curiously.
A mischievous smirk appeared on Sheree's face at that. "All in due time Todd."
With that the Headstrong Diva turned to leave, only to come face to face with a seething Beth Phoenix.
"Fell off! You think I fell off?!" the Amazonian snarled, getting in the Bostonian brunette's face. "Who the hell do you think you are huh!"
"Let's get one thing straight!" the blonde-haired woman snapped, glaring into the amused blue eyes of Sheree. "That match was nothing more than a fluke victory!"
"Oh yeah?" Sheree retorted.
"Yeah! It will never ever happen again!" Beth snapped back.
Sheree huffed in amusement, her smirk widening.
"I beat you in the middle of the ring 1... 2... 3!" Sheree quipped, taunting the increasingly angry woman by counting to three with her fingers before continuing.
"I beat you, in front of the whole world, in your home state! Nothing you say or do is gonna change that sweetheart."
Beth's light blue eyes narrowed in rage as Sheree's smirk widened.
"But... if that's such a problem for you..." Sheree suddenly stepped a little closer to Beth Phoenix, the smirk that was on her face now being replaced with a small scowl, her blue eyes wild with rage that bubbled just beneath the surface. "... then why don't you do somethin' about it!"
Beth snarled in anger at Sheree's attitude and audacity, while the brunette raised her arms in a mocking, challenging posture.
"I am completely free tonight. So if you wanna fight!" Sheree growled, glaring into the fiery blue eyes of the Glamazon. "... Then let's fight."
Beth seethed, face scrunching up in rage.
"You're on!" she spat out before storming off, Sheree watching her leave with calm, focused confidence.
. . . .
"Oh boy!" King gulped, both amused and worried as Beth paced the squared circle, blue eyes darkening in rage as she waited for Sheree to make her appearance. "Well... at least we know why Beth Phoenix is in such a rotten mood!"
"Sheree seems to get more and more confident with each passing week!" JR noted.
"Yeah but that confidence is starting to turn into cockiness. Not that I mind!" King added with a chuckle.
"Beth Phoenix has been running around bullying people for months!" Jenna said firmly as "Headstrong" blasted throughout The Drum to a fairly loud reception. "It's about time someone stepped up to her!"
Sheree walked onto the stage with a confident smirk on her face, coming to a stop near the top of the ramp and nodding her head lightly to the guitar riffs of Trapt, surveying the Raw atmosphere before walking down the ramp that lead to the ring.
"And her opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, Sheree Louise!"
"Man, Sheree looks great as always!" King gushed as Sheree entered the ringside area and walked up the steel steps that was positioned to the right, as for a rare occasion both the hard camera and the timekeepers area was positioned to the left side of the arena.
"I'm here too you know," Jenna drawled with a chuckle of amusement as her twin stepped up onto the apron, surveying the Austin crowd with a smirk as they gave her a good reception.
"You look great today Jenna! Doesn't she look great JR?!" King gushed.
"You look beautiful Jenna," JR complimented the woman.
"Thank you boys!" Jenna replied with a smirk as Sheree stepped through the ropes and entered the ring, immediately backing up, holding her hands up in defence when Beth Phoenix tried to rush at her, but was thankfully held back by the referee. "Whoa!"
"You think you're tough huh! You'll regret ever messing with me! You hear me!" Beth snapped at the woman as she tried to get past the referee, her blue eyes zeroed in on Sheree in rage.
"Whoa! Whoa! Take it easy!" Sheree exclaimed with a mocking grin, making Beth snarl at her in barely restrained anger.
"Someone's eager..." Jenna commented in amusement as Sheree smirked tauntingly at the Glamazon's eagerness.
"The Glamazon, trying to jump the gun a bit there," JR noted.
"She can't wait to get her hands on Sheree!" King added as Sheree walked across the ring, jumping up onto the middle ropes of the corner opposite the timekeepers area and held her arms out wide, receiving a fairly loud and decent reaction from the Austin fans. "Sheree might just end up regretting challenging the Glamazon."
"Sheree ain't afraid of a fight. We saw that at the Royal Rumble," Jenna said as Sheree smiled at the fans before stepping off the ropes, traversing the length of the ring to the opposite corner and stepping up onto the ropes, smirking at the fans in attendance. "She'll be fine."
"The fans here in Austin really like Sheree tonight," JR observed as the Austin crowd gave Sheree another huge reaction as she egged them on to cheer louder, her smirk widening as the fans cheered for her. Beth stood across the ring, glaring hatefully at the back of the Headstrong Diva.
"Probably due to the fact that she won her first big Pay-Per-View match in style, as well as kicked the hell out of that incest loving creep Paul Burchill last week on Raw!" Jenna commented, her lip curling up in disgust at the mention of Paul Burchill.
"Yeah but she's still gotta long way to go. These fans are picky! They could turn on you in the blink of an eye!" King said as Sheree surveyed the crowd for a few more seconds, before stepping off the ropes, smirking at the scowl Beth Phoenix directed at her as her theme song faded into the background.
The official quickly checked to see if they were both ready, before signalling for the bell to ring.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Sheree and Beth Phoenix circled the ring, the live crowd buzzing, before colliding in a lock up, with Beth Phoenix gaining the early advantage, overpowering Sheree.
"Collar-and-elbow tie up. And look at Beth Phoenix imposing her will on Sheree!" JR said, small rising chants of 'Sheree! Sheree! Sheree!' being heard as the Glamazon's power forced the Bostonian to a knee.
"The Glamazon's power is probably one of her key advantages against Sheree," King commented, as Beth Phoenix quickly trapped the brunette in a strong headlock that nearly forced her down into the mat.
"We saw it at the Rumble," Jenna added as Sheree shakily rose to her feet, grimacing in pain as the Glamazon's large biceps tightened around her neck, backing the Amazonian blonde into the ropes and shoving her off, sending her forward. "The Glamazon had Sheree in serious trouble at TIMES!"
The Texas crowd unleashed a ruckus 'OHHH!' as Beth came off the opposite ropes, running right into a leaping dropkick that sent the Amazonian woman crashing to the mat, stunned. "OH MY GOD!"
"And just like that, Beth Phoenix is floored!" JR exclaimed as Sheree slapped the mat and shot back up onto her feet, the crowd cheering loudly when Sheree roared passionately at them, while the Glamazon hastily rolled out of the ring.
"Gosh! This girl can GO!" King cried out in shock, the Bostonian's smirk growing as she looked back and watched Beth stumble into the barricade, her blue eyes wide and stunned. "The Glamazon has been forced to retreat!"
"This is what we saw at the Royal Rumble," Jenna added as a louder chant of 'Sheree! Sheree! Sheree!' was heard throughout the arena. "Sheree's combination of speed and explosiveness is what ultimately felled the Glamazon!"
"This is the second time these two women are crossing paths one-on-one like this," JR commented as the Glamazon favoured her stinging right cheek, leaning against the barricade whilst scowling at Sheree in clear frustration, ignoring the fans that were patting her on the back.
"I think Sheree surprised her!" King exclaimed as the Bostonian's smirk widened into a smug grin of sorts, making Beth Phoenix's searing glare intensify, ignoring the referee's call to get back in the ring.
Sheree leaned forward slightly and taunted Beth with a mocking grin on her face, motioning for the Amazonian blonde to get back in the ring in a taunting 'Bring It On' gesture, causing the fans to release a loud 'Oooh!' at Sheree's audacity.
"Oh boy..." Jenna chuckled at her twin's boldness.
"Sheree showing some ego! I like that!" King said with an amused smile.
"Sheree telling the Glamazon to 'come getcha some!" JR commented as Beth growled at the taunting cocky smirk on Sheree's face, before rushing into the ring, only for Sheree to slip away and roll out of the ring.
"Oh wow..." Jenna shook her head, her smirk widening.
"Sheree is toying with the Glamazon!" JR said as Sheree's grin widened at the murderous glare the Glamazon sent her. "Not sure that's a good idea!"
Beth suddenly bolted out of the ring after the brunette, only for Sheree to rush back into the ring and take a bow to the fans, receiving a positive reaction in return as Beth hit the ring apron in frustration and anger.
"Now she's just show-boating for the hell of it!" King laughed, clearly enjoying Sheree's display of cockiness.
"Sheree and this ruckus Texas crowd are certainly enjoying themselves!" JR commented in amusement. "The Glamazon not so much!"
Sheree leaned against the ropes opposite the broadcast table, resting her right foot on the bottom ropes as she tilted her head a little bit and sent the Glamazon a condescending smirk, her blue eyes twinkling in amusement as Beth's right eye twitched in extreme annoyance and anger.
"I'm lovin' this!" Jenna laughed.
"Sheree continuing to toy with the Glamazon," JR added.
"I'm lovin' this side of Sheree, but making a fool of a former Women's Champion like Beth Phoenix is not smart! Sheree better be careful!" King warned. "The Glamazon will catch her at some point!"
"Beth! You need to get back in the ring!" the official ordered.
"SHUT UP!" Beth snapped, glowering at the man while pacing the floor in anger.
"The Glamazon is starting to get frustrated," JR noted.
"I think Sheree's startin' to get inside Beth Phoenix's head!" Jenna commented.
"Here comes the Glamazon!" JR exclaimed as Beth slid back into the ring, charging at the Headstrong Diva, who sprang into action, ducking the clothesline that would have turned her inside out and rushing forward. "But Sheree is ready for her!"
Sheree hit the ropes, launching off them and towards a charging angry blonde, sliding between Beth's legs.
"Whoa!" King exclaimed, surprised by Sheree's speed.
Before Beth could do anything about it, Sheree grabbed her by the ankle and pulled, making Beth fall flat on her face. "Oh!"
The fans winced at the impact, watching as Beth rose to her hands and knees, favouring her mouth, then released a shocked 'Ohhh!' as Sheree harshly slapped the back of the blonde's head. "Hey!"
"Ohhh did you hear that!" Jenna couldn't hold back her giggles.
"I did! Jeez!" King winced as the Glamazon scrambled away from the Headstrong Diva and to the corner, holding the back of her head with a murderous expression on her face.
"Everybody heard that smack!" JR commented. "Beth Phoenix certainly felt it."
"Did that hurt?" Sheree quipped, grinning at the blonde who snarled in anger.
"You little..."
"I still don't think this is a smart plan by Sheree! She's just poking the bear here!" King said, concerned.
"Ah she's fine! Sheree's beaten her before! She's got nothing to worry about!" Jenna replied, waving off King's concern.
"At least you're optimistic about it..." King mumbled.
The Glamazon glowered at the young brunette, which intensified when Sheree taunted her with a mocking bow, the fans cheering at Sheree's antics, making Beth's facial expression go from murderous to incensed in seconds. "Oh no..."
"The look on the Glamazon's face just changed!" JR exclaimed, alarmed.
"Yeah... but Sheree doesn't seem very bothered by it," Jenna commented, seemingly unsurprised by that.
"She should be!" King yelped as Sheree's smirk widened mockingly.
"And the Glamazon rushes forward again!" JR exclaimed as with an enraged yell, Beth bolted at Sheree, who ducked and connected with a superkick to Beth's abdomen, making the blonde-haired woman hunch over in pain, the fans letting loose a little 'Ohhh!' at the sight. "Sheree evades and retaliates with a kick to the- OH MY WORD!"
Sheree began to advance forward, but Beth stopped her by grabbing the belt of her skinny jeans, pulling the brunette towards her and clubbing her in the back of her head with a vicious forearm, the RAW crowd verbally reacting with winces at the sight.
"Oh no!" Jenna cried out as Sheree stumbled, grabbing at the back of her head with a grimace.
"What a clubbing shot from the Glamazon!" JR exclaimed.
"Sheree got caught!" King added.
Before Sheree could shake off the cobwebs, the Glamazon grabbed two fists full of her brunette hair, before slamming the back of the Bostonian's head into the mat with tremendous force.
"Oh!" Jenna cringed, the fans verbally wincing along with her.
"And viciously slamming the back of Sheree's head into the mat!" JR cried out.
"I knew it was a bad idea for Sheree to taunt and mock the Glamazon like that!" King exclaimed, now extremely worried for Sheree's safety.
Beth glared down at Sheree, before straddling the woman and proceeding to rain down a flurry of furious punches to Sheree's face, the fans booing at the Glamazon's viciousness as Sheree got her arms up, desperately trying to protect herself.
"And here comes the fists! Pummelling Sheree!" JR called out. "The Glamazon is done playing games!"
"We knew this was gonna happen once Beth got a hold of Sheree," King groaned out in despair as Beth continued to punch away at Sheree's face.
"Come on referee! Get her off her!" Jenna snapped.
The official tried to pull Phoenix off when she went from punching Sheree to wrapping her hands around the brunette's neck, but the blonde-haired woman was having none of it, trying to choke Sheree to death, making the fans boo with more intensity. "Oh my god get her off ref!"
"Beth Phoenix, for some reason, HATES Sheree! Absolutely loathes Sheree!" JR cried out.
"Yeah but is there any reason for this!" Jenna exclaimed as Beth roared in Sheree's reddening face. "DO YOUR JOB REFEREE!"
The referee eventually managed to pull Beth Phoenix off Sheree, allowing the brunette to release a huge gasp, rolling towards the ropes and away from Phoenix, who glared viciously at the Austin crowd as they booed her. "Thank god!"
"The referee finally managing to get the Glamazon away from Sheree..." JR noted worriedly as Sheree stumbled into the corner, clutching at her throat as she gasped for air.
"Yeah... but Sheree is having a lot of trouble breathing right now," Jenna said worriedly as the referee kept Beth away from Sheree so he could check on the brunette.
"I could help with that!" King quipped.
"... If you even think about touching my sister..." Jenna snarled, glowering at the old man.
"Sorry!" King gulped in fear.
JR shook his head as Sheree sat against the bottom turnbuckle, breathing heavily. "Think before you speak King."
"Sheree, are you okay to continue?" the referee asked Sheree in concern. The brunette pulled herself up onto her feet using the ropes, still clutching her throat with a pained grimace.
Before she could answer, Beth ran at Sheree who pushed the referee out of the way, but couldn't stop Beth's powerful shoulder from spearing into her stomach with tremendous force, Sheree's back slamming into the turnbuckles, air being driven out of her.
"Oh! My goodness what force!" JR exclaimed, the fans releasing an 'Ohhh!' as Sheree groaned loudly. Beth jammed her shoulder into Sheree's abdomen, nearly pushing her through the turnbuckles. "Sheree saw the Glamazon coming and shoved the referee out of harm's way, but was too late on the uptake to react."
"That was full of malicious intent!" Jenna added as the blonde finally pulled her boulder-like shoulder out of Sheree's abdomen.
"She didn't even give Sheree a chance to reply to the official!" King cried out as Sheree collapsed to her knees, an arm around her stomach, coughing violently. The referee scolded Beth for her actions and forced her away from the coughing woman. "Sheree is definitely gonna have trouble breathing after that!"
"This is similar, almost eerily so, to their previous encounter," JR said as Sheree hung her head, gasping for breath. "When the Glamazon relentlessly drove Sheree into the turnbuckles."
"Sheree, can you continue?" the referee asked.
Sheree took a moment to get her breath back before nodding. As soon as Sheree confirmed that she wanted to continue, Phoenix went right after her, grabbing her by the hair and forcefully ragging the woman away from the corner and towards the middle of the ring.
"Sheree wants to continue, and the Glamazon, not wasting anytime!" The Glamazon roughly shoved Sheree's head underneath the pit of her left arm in a front face-lock, glaring at the fans in attendance as she prepared to end this once and for all, the fans booing.
"Uh-oh! It looks like the Glamazon is preparing to hit her signature Delayed Fisherman Suplex!" JR exclaimed.
"Oh no!" Jenna voiced her concern for her sister.
"Already?!" King cried out as Beth draped Sheree's left arm over her left boulder shoulder, hooking the brunette's left leg with her free arm.
"Sheree! You've gotta counter it!" Jenna called out worriedly. The fans gasped as the Glamazon powered Sheree up, suspending her upside down in the air. "Oh my god..."
"The power of Beth Phoenix!" JR exclaimed. Desperate, the Headstrong Diva slammed her hooked knee down into the top of the Glamazon's head, stunning the blonde and somehow breaking free of the Amazonian's grip, landing on her feet behind the Glamazon, much to her confusion and the fans amazement. "Wait a minute!"
"What the... how in the...?!" King stuttered, completely stunned.
"Sheree escapes!" JR cried out, the fans cheering.
"Phew! She dodged a bullet there!" Jenna sighed in relief.
"But how in the world did she do that?!" King exclaimed in shock.
Before Beth could comprehend what happened, Sheree rolled the Glamazon up in a school-girl pin. "Whoa look out here!"
She rolled Beth all the way through and back onto her feet, quickly wrapping her left arm around the New Yorker's head.
"Snapshot! Sheree's looking for the Snapshot!" JR cried out, the fans cheering, but Beth furiously fought it, using all of her incredibly powerful strength to stop Sheree from lifting her. "But look, look! Beth Phoenix is blocking it!"
"Oh god! What the hell!" Jenna exclaimed as Beth grabbed Sheree's left wrist and slowly pulled her arm away from her head, making the brunette's eyes widen.
"How much power does that woman possess?!" King added in shock, the Texas crowd gasping at the sight.
Beth twisted out of the Snapshot attempt, the fans crying out as the Glamazon pulled Sheree in, blasting the woman with a clothesline. "Oh my gosh!"
"And Sheree just got completely wiped out!" JR exclaimed as the back of Sheree's spine hit the mat hard.
"Sheree got floored! Ouch," Jenna winced.
Beth grabbed Sheree's brunette locks, ignoring the referee's demand to let go of Sheree's hair, pulling the woman roughly up onto her feet and dragging her over towards the corner opposite the announce table, proceeding to bash Sheree's head off the turnbuckle padding.
"Sheree now, at the mercy of the Glamazon," JR noted. Slightly disoriented, Sheree leaned against the turnbuckle, only to be viciously assaulted by the Glamazon, raining down rights to Sheree's face, ignoring the referee's warnings, the fans booing heavily. "The Glamazon, laying into Sheree like no tomorrow!"
"Man... Beth Phoenix is brutal! Look at those shots!" Jenna added as Beth continued to punch away at the Headstrong Diva with rapid fire shots.
"This is what happens when you anger the Glamazon!" King said as Beth continued to punch away at Sheree until the referee tried to separate the two, making Beth send him a murderous glare for his interference, causing him to take a few steps back in fear at the way she was eyeing him.
"Uh-oh... the ref might wanna be careful here..." JR muttered.
"I'm so glad I'm not him!" King shuddered at the look Beth was giving the referee.
"Jeez, if looks could kill..." Jenna commented.
Beth turned her attention back onto the stunned Headstrong Diva, grabbing Sheree around the face and forcing her to look up at her, fingers digging into the woman's cheek as Beth scowled in her face, eyes shining in rage.
"So you think you're gonna be the next big thing huh?! You think you're special?!" Beth hissed through her teeth, glowering down at Sheree in a seething rage, ignoring the referee's warnings and nagging as well as ignoring the boos from the fans. "You are fooling yourself kid! It will take you a lifetime to reach my amount of success!"
"The Glamazon, talking smack in Sheree's face," JR observed.
"Sheree is in deep, deep trouble," King added.
Sheree grunted, trying and failing to pull Phoenix's hand away from her face, glaring at the blonde-haired woman as she continued to insult and berate her.
"You're nothing! Nothing! You are just another pretty face! Weak and pathi-" The fans cheered when Sheree's fist greeted Beth's face.
"Whoa!" Jenna cried out.
"Oh! What a right! Wow!" King exclaimed as Beth's face whipped to the side, the punch sending her stumbling back away from Sheree.
"That stunned the Glamazon!" JR added, noticing the slightly dazed look on Beth's face.
"Shut her up too," Jenna commented.
Sheree winced, trying to get some feeling back into her jaw, before she was viciously kneed in the stomach by an incensed Beth Phoenix, the fans releasing a cringing 'Ohh!' as Sheree hunched over with a cry of pain. "My god!"
"And Beth Phoenix retaliates with a vicious knee!" JR cried out.
"That might have cracked one of Sheree's ribs!" King exclaimed.
"I hope not!" Jenna added, watching in worry as the Glamazon proceeded to punch and stomp away at Sheree, making her sink to the mat as Beth Phoenix continued her rage-filled assault. "Good grief!"
"The Glamazon did not take kindly to being punched in the face!" JR said as he watched Beth continue to brutalise and beat-down Sheree, the fans booing as she stomped away at the brunette. The referee tried desperately to separate the angry Amazonian from the Bostonian, who had her arms up, trying desperately to protect herself from the blonde's wrath.
"That is one nasty mean streak..." Jenna commented.
"No kidding!" King added as the Glamazon was finally pulled away from Sheree. Beth glowered at Sheree with a look of disdain on her face, before advancing towards the brunette. "Jeez... Beth Phoenix is relentless!"
The Glamazon grabbed a handful of Sheree's shoulder-length locks, dragging her up onto her feet and lifting the still slightly winded Bostonian up onto the top turnbuckle.
"Uh-oh... things are startin' to get a little dangerous here..." Jenna said as Beth lifted herself up onto the second ropes, only for Sheree to catch her in the jaw with a sharp forearm, the fans wincing at the shot as Beth shook her head, stunned. "Oh!"
"Oh! Ow! Look at this!" King exclaimed as Sheree grabbed Beth by the back of her head and assaulted her with a series of sharp forearms to the face, the fans cheering as Sheree began to fight back. "Look at those forearm shivers! Wow!"
"It looked like Beth Phoenix was going for a top rope manoeuvre, but Sheree still has fight left in her!" JR cried out as Sheree reared her arm back with an intense expression on her face, before with a yell, she connected with one last vicious forearm to the side of Beth's jaw. "Good god!"
"Oh my gosh!" King cried out as Beth fell off the middle ropes, thoroughly stunned, the Austin crowd releasing a loud 'Ohhh!' as the Glamazon hit the mat back first.
"Sheree's got a vicious side to her. And Beth Phoenix is finding that out the hard way!" Jenna exclaimed. Beth tried to get back up onto her feet, only to stumble back down onto the mat, dropping to her knees.
"The Glamazon is stunned!" JR cried out.
"Sheree's created some separation between herself and the Glamazon! Now she just needs to capitalize on it!" Jenna added.
"Easier said than done!" King added as Sheree took a short breather, panting in exhaustion as she sat on the top turnbuckle.
Sheree watched as Beth shakily rose to her feet, the fans in attendance cheering in anticipation as she stood on the middle ropes with a determined gleam in her blue eyes. "Uh-oh! I think Sheree is about to do something big!"
As soon as Beth turned around, Sheree used the middle ropes to spring herself up, turning in the air, so that her back was facing Phoenix, the fans crying out in awe as she landed on the top rope with perfect balance, before back-flipping off the ropes, soaring through the air. "OH MY GOSH!"
"WHOA!" King exclaimed in shock as Sheree collided into Beth with a picture perfect moonsault, sending the woman crashing down back-first onto the mat.
"Moonsault!" JR cried out as the fans yelled out excitedly at the display. "Moonsault! My god, what a moonsault from Sheree!"
"That was amazing!" Jenna added as Sheree steadily rose to her hands and knees, wrapping an arm around her torso and wincing, still feeling the effects of Beth's rage-filled attack, while Beth rolled onto her stomach, slightly dazed from Sheree's moonsault attack. "Absolutely incredible!"
Sheree finally made it to her feet, blue eyes blazing as she glared at Beth with a mildly irritated expression on her face, sizing the woman up as she struggled to lift her body off the mat.
"Uh-Oh... Sheree looks a little annoyed," King noted.
"I think those insults Beth was spitting in her face struck a nerve!" Jenna said.
"A very deep nerve," JR added as Sheree silently implored Beth to get up.
Sheree scowled as the Glamazon rose to her knees.
"The Glamazon is in trouble!" King exclaimed, noticing the anger in Sheree's eyes, before the brunette connected with a jaw-jarring superkick right to the jaw of Beth Phoenix, the crowd letting loose a loud 'Ohhh!' at the impact. "Oh! Oh my gosh!"
"My god what a superkick!" JR exclaimed.
"Nearly took her head off!" Jenna cried out as Beth crumbled to the mat in a dazed mess, allowing Sheree to quickly go for the cover.
"Sheree's going for the cover!" King noted as the brunette rolled the Glamazon onto her back and away from the ropes, hooking both legs.
1...
2...
"No! The Glamazon kicks out!" JR exclaimed, the crowd groaning at the close count as the Amazonian blonde barely managed to get her shoulder up. "The Glamazon got rocked with that superkick, but still has life left!"
Sheree let loose a small huff of frustration and ran her hand through her hair as she sat up with her legs spread out. Behind her, Beth struggled to gain her bearings, her blue eyes wide.
"Looks like Sheree is starting to get a little frustrated," King noted.
"Yeah... I may not like her all that much, but Beth Phoenix is a tough woman to beat!" Jenna complimented.
Sheree stood up as Beth rolled out of the ring, landing on the floor on her hands and knees, the official keeping Sheree at bay when she went to go after her.
"Beth rolling out of the ring," JR observed.
"Smart," King complimented. "She doesn't wanna be taking anymore kicks to the jaw, that's for sure."
Beth stumbled onto her feet, leaning heavily against the announce table. "Whoa! Easy there!"
"The Glamazon is clearly out of it," Jenna commented as Beth turned and glared at Sheree, before shaking her head and scowling, waving Sheree off as she began to stumble around the ring. "Wait a minute... where is she going?!"
"I think the Glamazon has had enough of Sheree," JR said, the fans beginning to boo as she walked around ringside.
"But... doesn't she want to beat Sheree?" King questioned in confusion.
"She just doesn't wanna get her butt kicked again!" Jenna retorted.
"Forget this!" Beth snapped at Sheree, who stared at the woman in a mixture of confusion and amusement. "I don't need to prove myself to you! Screw you!"
Sheree frowned, watching as Beth ignored the referee's demand to get back in the ring, the fans booing in annoyance at the Glamazon's sudden cowardice.
"Well this is annoying! And here I thought Beth Phoenix wanted this match! Guess I was wrong!" Jenna growled.
A smirk appeared on Sheree's face as she surveyed the angry Austin crowd, which turned into gasps when Sheree bolted at the far right corner, the fans standing up in surprise.
"Sheree at full speed, what's she about to- Oh my god!" JR cried out, his jaw almost dropping.
Beth didn't realize what was going on until it was too late, turning around just in time to see Sheree leaping up onto the middle rope on her right, using the rebound to launch herself to the left and over the ropes, the fans crying out in surprise as Sheree soared through the air, crashing down on the Glamazon like a shooting star, both women crashing down onto the outside. "Good lord! Good lord! What a thing of beauty!"
"Oh my gosh!" King exclaimed in shock as the fans erupted in awe and surprise.
"There you go! Sheree's going all out!" Jenna added with an excited smile.
"Was that a triangle crossbody?!" King exclaimed, eyes wide. "What the hell!"
"Sheree risking life and limb to make sure the Glamazon stays put! She wants to finish this on her terms!" JR cried out.
"That's what I'm talking about!" Sheree yelled as she shot up onto her feet, fired up as the fans cheered ecstatically at Sheree's risky dive over the ropes, a small 'Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit!' chant being heard throughout The Drum, the fans clearly surprised by Sheree's guts to pull off something they believed most women in the WWE could not attempt.
"That was incredible! I can't believe she did that?!" King exclaimed, still in shock.
Sheree grabbed the dazed blonde, trying to pull her back onto her feet, when the fans suddenly began screaming excitedly, some of the fans at front row even pointing erratically towards the stage in an attempt to get Sheree's attention and warn her of the incoming danger. "Hey! Look! Look!"
"Oh no... oh no! Sheree!" JR called out.
"Sheree! Quick! Turn around!" Jenna yelled out, eyes wide in fear for her sister.
Sheree whipped her head around on instinct, getting tackled to the ground by Victoria, the fans cheering in excitement as the two women proceeded to throw wild fists at each other whilst rolling around on the floor, the referee signalling for the bell to ring as soon as Victoria tackled Sheree.
"Victoria! Victoria attacking Sheree! The official has no choice but to call for the bell! Sheree wins the match via disqualification!" JR exclaimed.
"Catfight! Catfight!" King cheered as the two rolled around on the ground, trying to maul each other.
"Victoria's got no business being out here!" Jenna snapped in anger as Victoria rolled Sheree onto her back, fists flying as she pummelled away at Sheree until the brunette managed to roll Victoria over onto her back, retaliating with ferocious left and rights to Victoria's face, forcing the woman to hold her arms up in an attempt to protect her face from Sheree's extremely accurate punches, ignoring the one referee that was trying to separate the two.
"Victoria and Sheree, they're... they're just beatin' the hell out of each other!" JR exclaimed.
"Aw! I love catfights!" King gushed in excitement.
"This is nowhere near a catfight King! This is a straight up fistfight!" Jenna cried out as Sheree continued to punch away at Victoria, her blue eyes dark with rage, never noticing more officials running down the ramp until they managed to pull Sheree off and away from Victoria, garnering a reaction of angry jeers from the Austin fans.
"And the officials, finally managing to separate these two!" JR exclaimed.
"Awww..." King whined, wanting the two ladies to keep on fighting.
Sheree struggled against the officials grip, blue eyes wild in rage as she glared murderously at Victoria.
"Lemme go! I'm gonna kick her ass! Lemme go!" the brunette yelled.
"Try it bitch!" Victoria snapped back, also being held at bay by more officials, scowling at the brunette in hatred as the Austin, Texas fans chanted 'Let them fight! Let them fight! Let them fight!'
"I agree! Let em tear each other apart!" King called out with excitement.
"The animosity between these two has-" JR was cut off as both Sheree and Victoria, suddenly broke away from the officials, much to the fans excitement and the referee's horror, throwing wild, angry fists at each other. "My god!"
"And here we go again! Fists are flying!" King exclaimed in excitement.
"Get her! Get that hussy! Knock her out Sheree!" Jenna cheered as the pair got more vicious and intense, pulling at each other's hair whilst still throwing fists.
"My god! These two wanna... they wanna maim each other!" JR cried out.
Sheree and Victoria continued to pummel away at each other, until Sheree was grabbed from behind, being launched hard into the steel steps, the back of Sheree's head slamming against the steel so hard that some of the fans at ringside winced, a loud 'Ohhh!' resonating from the fans in response to the impact. "And Beth Phoenix gets involved!"
"You've gotta be kiddin' me!" Jenna growled in anger.
"Did you see the way the back of Sheree's head hit the steel steps?! That looked horrible!" King exclaimed, deeply worried about the Headstrong Diva.
Both Beth and Victoria loomed over Sheree with looks of pure disdain, the brunette-haired woman now lying on her side, gripping the back of her head with a pained grimace.
Beth and Victoria looked at each other, evil smirks stretching across their faces, before looking down at Sheree, ignoring the officials demands for them to leave.
"The Glamazon and Victoria, towering over Sheree," JR noted. "This does not look good for Sheree."
"... I've gotta bad feeling about this," Jenna mumbled in worry.
"Me too. Those evil smirks are full of malice intent," King added.
Beth grabbed Sheree by the hair and roughly pulled her to her feet, grabbing her arms and restraining her from behind. "They ain't done!"
"Come on now! That's enough! The woman's defenceless!" JR snapped, the fans beginning to boo, not liking where this was heading either.
Victoria grabbed Sheree's chin roughly, forcing the brunette-haired woman to look at her, the evil smirk on her face widening into an evil grin as Sheree struggled against the Glamazon's amazon-like biceps.
"Quit struggling and take your beating like the pathetic little bitch you are," Victoria snarled, grin widening as Sheree glared back at her in intense anger.
"Screw you!" the brunette fired back defiantly.
Victoria chuckled in amusement before kneeing Sheree hard in the gut, making her growl out in pain.
Victoria grinned at Sheree's refusal to cry out in pain.
"You think you're tough huh?" the veteran drawled lowly, before punching Sheree in the face, ignoring the angry fans and the demanding officials as she grabbed a fist full of the woman's hair.
"What about now huh?! You think you're tough now?!" Victoria snapped in Sheree's face, a large grin on her face as she continued to punch and badmouth Sheree.
"This ain't fair! This is 2-on-1!" Jenna snapped.
"I agree, but I don't think they give a damn at this point!" JR added.
"Yeah... Sheree was set up!" King spat in disgust as a back-hand nearly made Sheree slump over.
The brunette suddenly shoved Victoria away with her boot, stamping on Beth's feet, making her curse in pain and release Sheree who didn't hesitate to punch Victoria in the face, before rocking Beth in the side of her head with a forearm shiver. "Whoa! Whoa!"
The fans cheered her on as the brunette tried to fight off the two women, rocking them with vicious forearms to the face.
"Yes! Come on Sheree!" Jenna cheered.
"Sheree trying to fight back- Oh what a knee!" JR exclaimed, wincing as Victoria caught Sheree in the gut with a vicious knee.
"The numbers are just too much for her!" King cried out in worry as Sheree dropped to her knees, crying out from the knee that Victoria gave her. The brunette held her stomach in pain, while Victoria and Beth stood over her, glaring down at her in anger as the fans' boos intensified. "Sheree is overwhelmed!"
The Glamazon grabbed a fist full of Sheree's hair, roughly pulling the brunette back up onto her feet and throwing her back into the ring.
Victoria and Beth stepped into the ring after Sheree, only for the brunette to spear Victoria into the mat, raining down fierce punches into the Vicious Vixen's face in a frenzy, the fans letting loose a loud pop of excitement. "Whoa!"
"Look at Sheree! Look at Sheree!" JR exclaimed.
"She's still got fight left in her?!" King cried out in shock.
"She's in survival mode!" Jenna added.
The fans' massive cheers turned into a sea of boos as the Glamazon quickly got involved, grabbing two fists full of Sheree's brunette locks, dragging her off Victoria and slamming the back of Sheree's head into the mat.
"And Beth Phoenix gets involved again!" JR cried out.
"Oh come on!" Jenna snapped.
The boos and jeers from the fans increased in volume as Beth and Victoria pummelled away at Sheree unmercifully, not letting up for a moment and shoving the officials away when they tried to pull them away from the defenceless woman.
"And now Victoria and the Glamazon, like a pack of dogs, unmercifully tearing into Sheree!" JR exclaimed as the two powerful women punched away at Sheree, who was desperately trying to protect herself.
"Sheree still trying to fight back... this is getting uncomfortable to watch," King said as Sheree got a few more hits in, only serving to anger Beth and Victoria, making them hit back with more violent and harder punches, absolutely swarming Sheree.
"It's an absolute mugging!" JR snapped in anger and disgust.
"Someone get them out of there!" Jenna shouted, not wanting to see this anymore.
Finally, Beth and Victoria relented, grinning down at Sheree, who held a hand over her face, slamming her other fist into the mat in frustration for letting Victoria and Beth get the better of her.
"Sheree is in a bad, bad way..." King commented.
"I'm absolutely disgusted by the actions of these two! And I'm not just sayin' that because I'm Sheree's twin!" Jenna growled. "This is deplorable!"
"This assault was done with the intent to hurt Sheree! With the intent to take her out of the equation and- Oh no!" JR cried out when Victoria suddenly grabbed a fist full of Sheree's hair, pulling the woman roughly onto her feet and lifting Sheree onto her shoulder for the Widow's Peak, smirking savagely at the angry Austin, Texas crowd that were booing her viciously whilst ignoring the officials pleads not to go through with her attack.
"She's not done yet?!" King exclaimed.
"Stop this! You've done enough Victoria!" JR pleaded.
"You've made your point damnit! Leave my sister alone!" Jenna roared.
Victoria hit the Widow's peak on Sheree, snapping the back of Sheree's head against her shoulder. The crowd released a loud 'OHHH!' as Sheree's head hung, before she fell onto her stomach, unmoving.
"Widow's Peak!" JR cried out.
"With malice!" King added with a wince.
"Dammit!" Jenna snapped in rage.
That same savage smirk was still plastered on Victoria's face as she stood up, both her and Beth Phoenix looming over Sheree. Victoria crouched down, balancing on the balls of her feet as she stared down at Sheree's prone form with a small evil smirk as "Don't Mess With" played throughout the arena to a chorus of boos.
"What a heinous assault by these two!" JR snapped.
"Sickening! Absolutely sickening!" Jenna growled in disgust.
The boos increased as Victoria grabbed a fist full of Sheree's hair and pulled her head up, giving everyone a clear view of the purple bruise that was starting to form around the young woman's right eye. "Come on! That's enough!"
"You will never amount to anything more than a lil piece of shit! Your five minutes of fame is over! You hear me?! Done! I'm gonna tear you apart!" Victoria whispered harshly in Sheree's ear, before slamming the woman face-first into the mat and standing up, a smug grin on her face as the officials went to check on Sheree.
The two women eventually left the ring, boos vibrating throughout the arena as the officials carefully helped Sheree stand up.
"That was difficult to watch... do you see Sheree's eye?!" King said, wincing at the sight of the large purple bruise that had started to form around the brunette's right eye.
"This rivalry has turned very, very personal!" JR added.
"Damn right it has! There's gonna be hell to pay!" Jenna snapped.
. . . .
Once Sheree entered the gorilla, she was greeted by Christy who was talking to Lisa and Beth.
"Awesome work you three. Dray will be over the moon," Christy praised the three women.
"Thanks Christy! Where is Dray anyway? I haven't seen him," Sheree asked curiously.
"He's probably somewhere in an office with the team," Christy replied with a shake of her head. "They've been in there all day. You'll see him later."
"I hope he's not overworking himself," Beth said with a faint look of concern for the Head Divas writer.
"Don't worry. I won't let him go that far," Christy responded with a reassuring smile on her face before turning back to Sheree. "You should probably get that eye checked out. It looks bad."
"Sorry bout that. I got a little carried away," Lisa said with a sheepish grin.
"Don't worry about it. It ain't as bad as having half your face covered in blood," Sheree quipped with a grin. "Plus, I love it when you get carried away. It gives me a reason to kick your ass!"
"Gee thanks Sheree," Lisa replied sarcastically, making the woman laugh in response.
At that point, Jessie Lauren and Shawn Michaels entered the gorilla, both ready to head out to the ring.
"Are you okay Sheree? That eye looks really painful," Jessie asked, wincing at the swollen eye.
"Don't worry about it! I'm fine," Sheree responded.
"How did that happen anyway?" Shawn asked.
"I think Lisa punched me a bit too hard," Sheree replied with an amused chuckle.
"Got a lil out of control again, huh Lisa?" Jessie quipped in amusement, getting a sheepish chuckle from the veteran in response.
"I can't help it... hahaha..."
Christy chuckled before turning towards Shawn and Jessie.
"You two are up next, right?"
"Yep," Shawn replied. "Got a segment putting over the Elimination Chamber Match."
Jessie sighed.
"This is gonna be messy..." she retorted in mild annoyance.
Christy chuckled. "Don't worry. You'll be fine."
Jessie sighed and smiled, before placing Shawn's open crown hat on her head.
"It's showtime!" she sang, turning to her mentor with a smirk.
Shawn chuckled. "Not before you give me my hat back."
"Aw come on! Can't I wear it just this once?! Please!" Jessie pleaded, giving the man the puppy dog eyes.
"Nope!" Shawn replied in amusement as he took his hat back. "Those puppy dog eyes only work on Paul kiddo. Nice try though."
"You see what I gotta deal with?" he said to Christy and the others, who laughed in response.
"Just get out there already!" Christy exclaimed with a laugh, shooing the two away, making Shawn grin, clearly excited to be back in his home-state of Texas.
. . . .
The Drum erupted when "Sexy Boy" played throughout the arena to a ruckus ovation for Shawn Michaels. The Showstopper and Jessie Lauren walked out onto the stage, hyping up the hometown crowd of the Heartbreak Kid.
"Deep in the heart of Texas. San Antonio's own, Shawn Michaels has rattled the rafters!" JR said as the duo continued to hype up the crowd.
"Well, I'm gonna try and keep my anger in check whilst we get on with the show..." Jenna grumbled, still angry over what happened to her sister.
"Take all the time you need!" King replied as Shawn and Jessie walked down the ramp, before stopping halfway.
Shawn Michaels dropped to his knees while Jessie stood behind him. The legendary veteran pointed to himself whilst Jessie placed her arms on his shoulders, before they both held their arms out wide, Jessie shaking her hips to the beat as pyrotechnics went off behind them. Shawn stood up and twirled Jessie around, pulling her in close with a cheeky wink, earning a round of fangirl screams from the women in attendance.
"Oh stop it you!" Jessie exclaimed with a laugh, lightly shoving Shawn away in amusement as he grinned back at her, before the two proceeded to tag-hands with the fans whilst making their way to the ring.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome, Jessie Lauren and The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!" Lilian Garcia announced as Jessie and Shawn entered the ring, spinning around on their feet whilst holding their arms out before performing their trademark muscle posing taunt, the fans roaring in excitement, before both signaled for microphones.
"Well folks, what an impromptu DX reunion we had last week in Philadelphia! They'll be no DX reunion tonight because I've been informed that Triple H will not be here tonight due to a family emergency," JR told everyone.
"Well even though he ain't here tonight, the Game and Shawn Michaels will definitely be at No Way Out, competing against four other superstars in the Elimination Chamber Match, 13 days from tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada," Jenna reminded everyone as the iconic theme of 'Sexy Boy' faded into silence.
Shawn and Jessie looked around with grins on their faces as the Austin fans screamed and cheered loudly for Shawn, a loud 'HBK! HBK! HBK!' chant being heard throughout the arena.
Shawn shared a large smile of amusement with Jessie before beginning to speak.
"Last year at the Royal Rumble, I came this close..." Shawn began, emphasising his point with a tiny space between his fingers. "... To eliminating The Undertaker and going on to the main event at WrestleMania."
"Now... as luck would have it. I made it to the main event anyway," Shawn pointed out.
"And I ended up coming this close..." the space between Shawn's thumb and finger got smaller to emphasize his point. "... To beating John Cena for the WWE Championship."
The fans cheered ecstatically at hearing John Cena's name, Jessie chuckling and looking around the arena in amusement at the fangirl like screams.
"Now the point I'm making here is, this is pretty good..." the space between Shawn's fingers grew slightly, before shrinking again. "...and this is even better, but it's still second place and I can't stand second place, and anybody that is satisfied with second place is a liar!"
Shawn's home-state of Texas cheered in agreement at that.
"Hold on a sec Shawn," Jessie cut in, a smile on her face.
"I agree with you but... you've had one hell of a career. You've headlined numerous WrestleManias, you've held every single championship in the WWE and I don't know if anyone has noticed this yet, but you also sing your own theme song," she commented with an amused chuckle as the fans cheered in response to that. "Sooo... what's the problem?"
"The problem is, believe it or not, I still find myself feeling... unsatisfied!" Shawn replied, making Jessie's smile widen as she stared at him in great amusement.
"So as of right now! I'm putting everybody in the Elimination Chamber on notice! Friend! Foe! And... Umaga wherever he falls into this," the Heartbreak Kid remarked, making both Jessie and the fans laugh. "He's on notice too!"
A serious look appeared on Shawn's face. "Because at No Way Out in the Elimination Chamber, they're gonna-"
"BREAK THE WALLS DOWN!"
Both Shawn and Jessie turned towards the stage as Chris Jericho's music played throughout The Drum to a rousing reaction, Jessie placing a hand on her hip with an unamused frown framing her face as Chris appeared from behind the minitron, walking down the ramp as Shawn glared at the man in annoyance.
"Uh-oh!" King said.
"Another man that will be competing inside the Elimination Chamber to headline WrestleMania is joining us," JR noted.
"Friend or Foe? What do you guys think?" King questioned.
"After the history that these two have, I'd say foe!" Jenna replied.
"There are no friends. Only foes in the Elimination Chamber," JR said.
"Now wait a minute! The Game is in the Elimination Chamber! Shawn Michaels is in the Elimination Chamber! They're friends!" King exclaimed.
"They won't be friends in the chamber. That will be 100% guaranteed," Jenna replied.
Chris Jericho entered the ring, microphone in hand, looking over the Austin crowd before facing Jessie and Shawn Michaels as a small 'Y2J! Y2J! Y2J!' chant was heard throughout the arena.
"Now Shawn, Jessie, I don't have to come out here and say how much I respect you both as people and as professionals. I mean... Jessie, you've superkicked me more times than I can count," Chris Jericho said to the woman, who smirked.
"49 times to be exact... but that doesn't really matter, go on," she bragged, motioning for Jericho to continue whilst smirking at the faint look of annoyance that crossed the man's face.
"Hahaha..." Jenna laughed.
"She's been keeping count?! All this time?!" King exclaimed in surprise.
"Jessie really does not like Chris Jericho," JR said.
"Don't blame her honestly," Jenna commented.
"The people love Chris Jericho!" King said.
"This is Chris Jericho we're talking about. He maybe all goodie two shoes now, but let's give him a couple months. I'm sure he will show his true colours soon," Jenna retorted.
Chris narrowed his eyes at the cheeky Nashville native, before turning towards Shawn Michaels.
"And Shawn... one of my personal favorite matches of all time, was when HBK and Y2J tore the house down and stole the show at WrestleMania 19," Jericho told the man.
"And I agree with almost everything you said, I mean every sentence, every period, every codicil, but there is one point, one little detail that I didn't agree with," Jericho said, a frown masking his face as Shawn glared at him.
"And that's when you insinuated that you were gonna win the Elimination Chamber, because you're not." Jessie scoffed and smirked mockingly at Y2J as an annoyed expression appeared on Shawn's face.
"You see there is not a human being, a living creature on this planet, man, woman, child, hermaphrodite..." Jessie raised an eyebrow at that.
"E-Easy there!" King chuckled.
"Herma-what?!" Jenna cried out in shock.
"... Who's won more or been in more Elimination Chamber matches than I have," Chris stated, a small smug grin appearing on his face.
"Actually..." Jessie cut in, making Jericho glare at her in slight annoyance. "While you have been in the most Elimination Chamber matches-"
"I've been in three," Jericho cut in.
"Yes you have. Thank you Sherlock. So has Triple H," Jessie added with an amused smirk that annoyed Jericho to no end.
"Annnnd! If my very accurate memory is deceiving me, I'm pretty sure that YOU have never won an Elimination Chamber Match in your entire career, e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-evvvvveeeer!" Jessie retorted with a mocking grin, causing Jericho to bristle and glare at the woman for pointing that out and stealing his shtick, while Shawn smiled in amusement, the fans cheering and laughing at her Jericho impression.
"She is right," JR said.
"Someone needs to check their history," Jenna added with a chuckle.
"I... you... shut up! This has nothing to do with you!" Chris snapped, face red in embarrassment as the Austin fans laughed at the look on his face.
Jessie held up her hands in defense with an amused grin, enjoying the embarrassed look on Jericho's face.
"The point is, I know what it takes to be in that barbaric chamber! I also know what it takes to headline WrestleMania! I headlined WrestleMania 18!" Chris said in an annoyed tone, clearly not amused by Jessie's attitude.
"And lost..." Jessie retorted lowly through her microphone.
The fans laughed as Jericho gave the Nashville Vixen a warning glare.
"Watch it missy!" he growled into the microphone, pointing threateningly at her. Jessie gave Jericho an innocent smile in response.
"Oh... did you hear that? Sorry~" Jessie sung, not even attempting to hide the smile she had plastered on her face. Jericho narrowed his eyes at the woman before turning his attention back on Shawn.
"My passion and my desire and my fire and my need to return to the Main Event of WrestleMania... is second to none," Y2J continued.
"And after 3 years away, my destiny to make it to WrestleMania in the main event is going to happen, and not you or anybody else is gonna beat me at Elimination Cham-"
Austin erupted as "Loaded" blasted throughout The Drum, Jessie palming her face and shaking her head while looking up at the stage with Shawn and Chris as Jeff Hardy made his appearance, this time without the Intercontinental Championship, hyping up the crowd before walking down the ramp, high fiving the fans in the front row whilst making his way to the ring.
"Well the Intercontinental Champion just skipped the heartbeat of over 13,000 fans here in the campus of the University of Texas!" JR cried out as Jericho, Shawn and Jessie looked on in mild annoyance, watching as Jeff pandered to the fans before entering the ring. "Wow... pretty damn amazing."
"Definitely! I think he got a bigger reaction than Shawn!" Jenna exclaimed.
"Rock star reception. Jeff gets it everywhere!" King replied.
Jessie crossed her arms and looked around in mild amusement as a loud 'Hardy! Hardy! Hardy!' chant rang throughout the Frank Erwin Center as the Charismatic Enigma signalled for a microphone.
"Man I think it's great that you two wanna get back to that main event at WrestleMania! Great. Me personally, I've never been in a main event at WrestleMania," Jeff admitted.
"But I feel so close you know, I can taste it! I'm so close. If it means sacrificing my body at levels never seen before, oh I'm gonna do it," he said with certainty, a grin forming on his lips as the Austin crowd erupted into screaming cheers.
"Even if it means taking five of Raw's top superstars down, I'm gonna do it!" he added, the fans screaming even louder at that.
"And you can believe that, or you could-"
"Oh come on!" Jessie snapped, throwing her arms up into the air as "Longhorn" played throughout the arena, Austin erupting into a sea of boos as all four looked up at the stage, just in time to see JBL walk out with a not too impressed frown.
"Can anyone finish their thought around here?!" King questioned.
"Well the self-proclaimed Wrestling God has the opportunity to find his way into the main event at WrestleMania 24, by winning the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out less than two weeks away," JR said as JBL walked calmly down the ramp and towards the ring, ignoring the boos that were directed at him by the fans.
"God I hope he doesn't! Can you imagine the amount of gloating and pompous bullcrap that's gonna come outta this guys mouth if he wins the Elimination Chamber Match! I don't think I'll be able to handle it!" Jenna groaned.
"Ugh... you and me both!" King retorted.
"It definitely won't be amusing," JR added as JBL stepped onto the ring steps, glaring at the four in the ring.
"I think it's a wise move for JBL not to get into the ring with those four," King commented.
"Especially with Jericho in there," Jenna added as JBL glared at the Austin fans, a blank look on his face as they voiced their distaste and anger at his appearance.
"I had to move from Texas to New York City to live in the home of a champion," JBL started, too busy glaring at the fans to notice Jessie rolling her eyes as he pointed at the Austin crowd.
"You don't cut it! Shut up while I'm talking!" he snapped, earning the ire of the Austin crowd, booing him louder in response.
"Very impressive resume gentlemen. The one difference? JBL always gets what he wants. Whether I buy it, whether I take it, it makes no difference," he said, a smug grin stretching across his face.
"At the Elimination Chamber, don't know if you realize this but the Big Samoan Bulldozer doesn't exactly speak English. But he does speak a language I know very well." A slimy grin appeared on JBL's face. "And that's the language of money."
"And at the Elimination Chamber boys... and girl," he said, eyeing Jessie who remained unimpressed by his gloating.
"I'm afraid you're up a creek without a paddle, because the Samoan Bulldozer is gonna guarantee my safe passage all the way back to MY WrestleMania Main Event!" JBL exclaimed, smiling at the annoyed looks that crossed the faces of the people standing in front of him. "Whether you like it or not."
His smile widened as "Virtual Voodoo" played throughout the arena, the fans cheering as the big Samoan man walked out onto the stage and down the ramp, JBL laughing as a look of unease appeared on the faces of those in the ring.
"Well that's quite the business deal to say the least," JR commented. "Perhaps the most aggressive human being in the entire Elimination Chamber Match, Umaga!"
"Definitely the largest athlete in the Elimination Chamber Match. And scary as hell!" Jenna added as JBL clapped for the big Samoan as he climbed up the steps, a huge smile on his face.
"Look at the huge smile on JBL's face as Umaga makes his arrival here," King commented.
"That's nearly 400 pounds of insurance right there," Jenna said.
Jessie and the three other men hastily took a few steps back as Umaga entered the ring and roared, throwing his arms around like a wild beast, before glaring at the four like they were pieces of meat, whilst JBL got in the ring after him, a huge smile on his face.
"An amazingly gifted super heavyweight is Umaga," JR commented as Umaga continued to glare at the men and woman that stood before him. "JBL made one hell of an investment deal didn't he?"
Umaga suddenly turned around and glared at JBL, effectively wiping the smug grin off his face as Umaga's music faded into the background.
"Wait a minute! Not so fast JR!" King said, noticing the dark look that appeared on Umaga's face as he glared at JBL.
"I think JBL is about to eat his words!" Jenna exclaimed as Umaga slowly advanced towards the self-proclaimed Wrestling God.
Jessie watched in amusement as JBL leaned away from the Samoan Bulldozer, eyeing him in fear.
"Maybe he didn't check through everything..." JR said, making King chuckle in amusement at that.
Before Umaga could make a move, "Unglued" played throughout the arena, making everyone look up at the stage in confusion as Snitsky walked out with an ugly scowl on his face, making his way to the ring.
"Snitsky?!" King exclaimed in surprise and confusion as Snitsky walked down the ramp.
"I can't quite think of a reason for Snitsky being out here right now," JR said, also confused.
"I think everyone else will agree with you on that one JR! What the hell is he doing out here?!" Jenna added as Snitsky entered the ring, glaring at everyone that was currently in the ring with him as the fans jeered at him.
"The only thing that's absolutely certain, is that you've all had your chances," Snitsky growled through the microphone as a loud 'Brush your teeth! Brush your teeth! Brush your teeth!' chant was heard from the crowd, making Jessie and Shawn smirk in amusement at the annoyed look that crossed Snitsky's face as the chant got exceedingly louder.
"Brush your teeth?! What the...!" King exclaimed.
"Have you seen his teeth king?" Jenna asked the man.
"I deserve to be in the Elimination Chamber Match!" Snitsky snapped, garnering a negative reaction from the fans in response. "If they don't give me one of your spots... I'll just have to take it my-"
"Time To Play The Game..."
The entire arena erupted into a monster pop as the beginning riffs of "The Game" by Motorhead played throughout the arena, everyone in the ring looking up at the stage in shock.
"Time To Play The Game! Mahuhuhu!"
"What?!" King cried out in shock.
"I thought Triple H wasn't supposed to be here?!" Jenna exclaimed.
"That's right! But no one said anything about Freya not being here!" JR said.
The monster pop got a little louder as Freya casually walked onto the stage, smirking at the people in the ring as the fans cheered excitedly at her arrival, before the woman proceeded to walk down the ramp. "It may not be Triple H, but these people still love Freya all the same!"
Freya entered the ring, looking Snitsky up and down before laughing, making the man scowl angrily at her as her theme faded into the background, Freya nodding in appreciation at the fans as a ruckus chant of 'Freya! Freya! Freya!' was heard throughout the building.
"What an ovation for Freya!" JR exclaimed.
"Austin loves Freya!" Jenna cried out with a smile at the excited fans.
"They ain't the only one! Man Freya looks great!" King gushed as Freya was handed a microphone.
"First of all... you don't deserve jack!" Freya said, pointing at Snitsky who glared at the former 2-time Women's Champion in rage.
"In fact... the only thing you deserve is a dentist because those things you call teeth are disgusting!" she finished, causing the fans to cheer loudly in agreement.
"Secondly, the only person that will win the Elimination Chamber, is Triple H," she added, a smug look on her face as she eyed the other five men that will be competing in the Elimination Chamber.
"And that goes for you too Shawn. Sorry buddy..." Freya said with a shrug as both Shawn and Jessie frowned. "This isn't 2002 in New York okay."
Jessie raised an eyebrow, while Shawn chuckled, rolling his eyes as the fans released an 'Ooh' at that small dig.
"Triple H is walking out of that chamber victorious and there is not a thing any of you can do about it! Because Triple H is-"
"Oh SHUT UP!" Freya snapped her head towards JBL as the fans booed in response to him interrupting the woman like that, narrowing her hazel-grey eyes at him as the man scowled at her.
"Uh-oh..." King muttered, sensing the tension that was quickly rising.
"Just shut up! Shut up Freya! You know what, I've had it with you and you!" he snapped, pointing rudely at Freya and Jessie, who raised an eyebrow at the man's rudeness.
"Me?!" the Nashville Vixen exclaimed, pointing at herself with a faint look of surprise.
"Yes! The pair of you misfits!" the self-proclaimed Wrestling God snapped back.
"I remember that first Elimination Chamber," the man retorted angrily, glaring at the two women that were staring at him in confusion and anger at his attitude. "I remember it well!"
"I remember two troublemaking hussies...!" Both Freya and Jessie's eyes widened in a look of pure rage that didn't go unnoticed by the other men in the ring, all taking a few steps away from the two women as they glared at JBL, the fans booing heatedly.
"... Getting involved in a match they had no business being involved in, and ruining what was supposed to be a historic event!" the man growled, glaring at the two like a teacher telling off two disobedient children.
Jessie and Freya ignored the pointed glares that Jericho, Hardy and Umaga sent their way as the men realized what JBL was saying is true, in favor of glaring at JBL who still hadn't seemed to notice their anger.
"He has got a point. Jessie and Freya have interjected themselves in Elimination Chamber Matches, on either Triple H's or Shawn Michaels' behalf in the past," JR said.
"The first Elimination Chamber match to be exact," Jenna commented. "Both had Triple H and Shawn Michaels competing in the same match. I wouldn't say they ruined it however. They made that event even more incredible than it already was that night."
"I agree, they earned a lot of respect that night," King replied, shivering slightly as he thought back to that 2002 event. "I don't want to see them do that again though! That was brave but dangerous and they both ended up with deep scars that night. I hope they're smart enough to stay clear of the Elimination Chamber!"
"It's also fair to note that Shawn Michaels won that night," JR added.
"I swear if I see any of you inside the Elimination Chamber, I will clothesline the absolute hell out of you both!" JBL snapped, ignoring the angry boos as Freya scoffed in annoyance and turned away from the man, while Jessie scowled at him.
"Hey now! You can't threaten a lady like that?!" King snapped.
"Who in the hell does he think he is?!" Jenna growled in annoyance.
"Lets face it, women don't belong inside that demonic structure," JBL said, a smirk appearing on his lips as Freya refused to look at him, an angry frown on her face. "In fact..."
JBL stepped closer to Freya, smirking at the obvious anger framing her face at the moment. He wanted to make sure that she heard this. He wanted to make sure she knew her place.
"Women don't belong in a wrestling ring! At all!"
The Austin crowd erupted into a sea of intense angry boos at JBL's remark, the look on Freya and Jessie's faces turning downright murderous.
"Say what?! What the hell did he just say?!" Jenna growled in anger.
"Disgusting..." JR snarled.
"The nerve of this guy!" Jenna snapped in rage.
"You've gone and done it now JBL! You've just dug your own grave!" King exclaimed, not at all feeling sorry for the man.
Freya and Jessie looked each other in the eye, murderous scowls stretching across their faces. JBL laughed arrogantly, not noticing Shawn, Jeff and Chris face palming at his stupidity, while Snitsky and Umaga took a few more steps away from both Jessie and Freya, both smart enough not to be in their line of sight when the two women get like this.
The angry boos suddenly turned into excited screams as Freya turned on the Texan native and punched him in the face, making him stumble back in surprise.
"Oh!" Jenna cried out.
"Oh my god!" JR exclaimed.
"HA! HAHA! She clocked him!" King laughed.
Before JBL knew what was happening, Freya speared him to the mat, punching away at him in blazing fury, with JBL desperately trying to protect himself as Freya seemed intent on smashing his face in with her taped fists, only half aware that Shawn and Snitsky were fighting behind her while Jeff went after Umaga. "We've gotta brawl on our hands!"
"Freya nailing JBL! And look at her go!" JR exclaimed.
"Get that no good punk! Beat him to a pulp Freya!" Jenna cheered Freya on as she punched away at JBL's face.
"The talking is over! Whoa!" King cried out as Shawn tossed Snitsky over the ropes, while Jeff Hardy stamped away at Umaga in the corner.
JBL finally managed to toss Freya off him, standing up, only to find himself getting tackled into the corner by Jericho where he, Freya and Jessie began pummeling away at the man.
"JBL is getting absolutely mauled by Jericho and the two female members of DX! My god they're beatin' the heck outta him!" JR exclaimed.
"It's a three-on-one mugging!" King cried out.
"Serves him right! That's what he gets!" Jenna retorted angrily.
JBL eventually rolled out of the ring to escape the three, stumbling around ringside whilst Freya and Jessie glared murderously at JBL, dying to tear him a new one.
"Getcha ass back in here!" Freya roared, eyes darkening in rage as she pulled off her leather jacket and threw it at him, before leaning against the ropes and scowling at the man in dark, murderous rage.
"What's wrong?! You were so bold before!" Jessie growled, sticking her head out between the second and top ropes, hands tightening around the middle ropes in anger as JBL eyed the two with shocked, almost fearful wide eyes.
"You're a dead man!" Jessie snarled, pointing a finger at the man. "I'm gonna kick your f'ing head off!"
Chris Jericho, who was standing beside the angry females, couldn't help but smirk at the wide eyed look of shock that was on JBL's face. He clearly didn't expect that kind of reaction.
"Oh boy... Freya and Jessie have completely lost it! They're furious!" King exclaimed, gulping at the looks of fury on their faces.
"I don't blame them. I mean seriously... any man would be smart enough not to go there when it comes to our Divas! JBL crossed the line!" JR snapped.
"I wouldn't wanna be JBL right now! I bet the whole Divas Division will be gunning after him now!" King cried out.
"Damn right they will be!" Jenna replied with certainty in her voice. "And he'll have it coming too!"
Meanwhile Jeff Hardy and Umaga continued to go at it, until finally Jeff threw the big man out of the ring while Snitsky tried to get back into the squared circle, but was punched off the apron by Shawn Michaels.
"THAT'S ENOUGH! THAT'S ENOUGH!"
Freya and Jessie frowned in annoyance as Raw General Manager William Regal walked onto the stage, the Austin crowd voicing their disapproval as well.
"Uh-Oh!" King exclaimed.
"Seeing as you lot can't wait until No Way Out. We'll have a preview here tonight!" he snapped as the officials came out to keep Snitsky, JBL and Umaga out of the ring.
"It will be Snitsky partnered with JBL and Umanga..." Freya raised an eyebrow while Jessie snorted and let loose a laugh along with the WWE fans.
"Against Chris Jericho, Jeff Hardy and Shawn Michaels!" William announced, the fans erupting into loud cheering at the announcement.
"Whoa! Tonight?!" King cried out.
"And Freya!"
Freya snapped her head up, glaring at the Raw General Manager.
"Since you like getting involved in things that don't concern you... you will be the special guest referee!" William snapped, the entire arena practically exploding at that announcement, a huge evil grin appearing on the Queen of Queens face as the men in and outside the ring stared at William Regal in shock.
"WHAT?!" King exclaimed in shock.
"Holy crap! Is he serious?!" Jenna cried out in equal shock.
"WHAT?! HAVE YOU LOST IT!" JBL shouted as Regal stomped off with his music playing in the background.
"That is a unpredictable, wild west main event!" JR commented.
"Unpredictable is an understatement! It's gonna be straight up mayhem!" Jenna exclaimed.
"I couldn't agree more! Why Freya of all people?!" King questioned.
"A huge six man tag with Freya as Special Guest referee, where anything can happen on Monday Night Raw!" JR said.
