Chapter 14: Not Taken Seriously: Pt 2
"Women don't belong in a wrestling ring! At all!"
Sheree glared at the TV monitor inside the trainers room as Bob treated the black eye she was now sporting, watching as Freya scowled in rage before socking JBL in the face.
"You glare at the TV any harder and it's gonna burst into flames!" Bob said with an amused chuckle.
Sheree smiled. "Sorry. I know he doesn't really mean it. But I can't help it! The Divas Division kinda fell on its ass when Lita and Trish left..."
The brunette frowned as she thought more about it. "Actually... it started around when Trish left. Lita was treated horribly... especially after the way she left. Charlotte, Roxanna, Jay, Kerry, Lisa, Beth, Mickie and Melina were the only ones that managed to maintain at least a bit of credibility. Of course I ain't saying that the rest of the women didn't work hard."
Sheree looked down at her legs, her frown deepening. "We're trying our best but... it's frustrating."
"I understand, but try to look forward," the doctor replied, making Sheree look up at him.
"With Dray and Christy pulling out all the stops behind the scenes, I think the Divas Division as a whole is heading into new levels of stardom that could surpass even the Lita-Stratus era or the Sable era," Bob added.
"You think so?" Sheree questioned curiously.
"Sure! You can't have the highs without the lows. There are gonna be times when things seem bad. But I'm sure Dray and his team will make it work. One of his qualities is swerving around things," he replied.
"You mean breaking the rules right?" Sheree corrected with a smirk.
"...That too," Bob responded after a brief pause, making Sheree laugh. "But he won't be able to do any of that without you girls."
Sheree smiled softly at this.
"The swelling should go down in a couple of weeks," he informed her, moving away to clean his tools.
"Thanks Bob," Sheree said, thanking him for both his words and his treatment.
"You're welcome kiddo!" he replied as John Cena walked in, a confused look appearing on Sheree's face when Todd Grisham walked in behind him with a cameraman in tow.
"What's all this?"
"We've got an interview segment, remember?" John said, making Sheree even more confused, before a look of recognition appeared on her face, smiling sheepishly.
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot about that!"
John shook his head in amusement at that, before turning towards the doctor in the room. "You don't mind do you Bob?"
"As long as you guys don't start throwing fists I'm fine with it," he replied with a laugh.
. . . .
The fans let loose a small round of cheers at the appearance of Sheree sitting on the medical table, a frown masking her facial features. The cheering quickly turned into loud screams when John Cena appeared in view of the camera.
"I saw what happened. Are you alright?" he asked, a worried expression on his face.
Sheree's frown deepened into a small scowl.
"I'm fine John. It's just a black eye," she retorted in annoyance. "You should be worrying about that Arm Wrestling Match later tonight. Not me."
John frowned. "I ain't talkin' about the black eye Sheree, and you know it."
The two glared into each others eyes, a knowing glare appearing on John's face, while Sheree glared back at him with a slightly annoyed expression on her face. "I just don't want you to-"
"Um... excuse me."
A faint look of annoyance appeared on John's face at being interrupted as Todd Grisham appeared in view of the camera.
"Sheree, we all saw what happened a couple of minutes ago between you, Beth Phoenix and Victoria. Can I get your thoughts regarding what happened between you three?" Todd asked Sheree, becoming nervous when a dark look appeared on the woman's face.
"I don't think they take me seriously. They seem to think I'm some kind of joke." The look on Sheree's face turned frightening, glaring coldly at Todd as he gulped in slight fear, blatantly ignoring the warning glare John sent her.
"Just wait til' next Monday. They're gonna regret the day they crossed paths with me. Let's see if they still see me as a joke when I'm done smashin' their faces in!" she growled, the fans cheering in response. The brunette jumped off the table, glaring at Cena who glared back at her, before the Bostonian walked away.
"I don't think Sheree's in the mood for playing games anymore. I've never seen her with that look before..." JR said.
"Yeah... she looked ready for a fight!" King added.
"Oh man I'm pumped! Next Monday can't come fast enough!" Jenna exclaimed in excitement.
. . . .
Later...
Sheree was in the cafeteria, sitting crossed-legged on Cena's back who was doing push ups, getting ready for the Arm Wrestling Match he was going to have with Mark Henry in the main event later tonight.
Since she was done for the moment, at least until they begin filming the next show, Sheree was now wearing a change of clothes, decked out in a black loose 'Been There. Destroyed That' crop top with the lettering in white, cut off denim jean shorts and a pair of custom Dragon Ball Z Converse Chuck Taylors.
"Do you have to sit on my back," the Cenation Leader grunted, getting a grin from his protégé in return.
"What? Is this too much for the great John Cena?" Sheree questioned mockingly.
"No..." John grunted out in annoyance. "It's just that you're really heavy!"
"Just for that, you've gotta do another twenty."
"Man you're evil!"
"You wanna make that forty?"
"..."
At John's sudden silence Sheree chuckled. "That's what I thought."
Sheree pulled out her phone when it went off in her denim shorts pocket. "Hello?"
"Hello lady that just got her ass kicked!" Came a strong British accent on the other end of her phone line.
Sheree let loose a large laugh.
"Saraya-Jade Bevis. To what do I owe the pleasure?" John raised an eyebrow and shook his head at Sheree's really bad attempt at a posh English accent.
"Never ever do that again! You maybe English-born, but that was really really bad!" Saraya commented with an amused laugh, causing Sheree to laugh with her.
"So, how's your bat-shit crazy mother?" Sheree asked with a smile.
"She is fine, and you don't get to throw shade at my mother with the insane crazy demon you have as a mother!"
"Alright, you got me there Raya!" Sheree said with a chuckle. "How's the wrestling going?"
"It's going great. I'm so glad you and everyone else helped me overcome my fears. I still owe you for that."
Sheree smiled sincerely at that. When Sheree had first met Saraya, she was frightened of wrestling because of the amount of injuries her parents, who also happen to be wrestlers, sustained.
But thanks to Sheree and their respective families, Saraya overcame her fears and even began wrestling. Sheree's only regret was that she wished she could have stuck around the Indy scene a bit more when Saraya started wrestling. Because if they were anything like their mothers, then their match would be an aggressive one.
"You don't owe me anything Raya. You're my friend. Of course I'd help you," Sheree replied.
"Same as ever I see!" Saraya replied with a laugh.
"You know what us Huxleys are like!" Sheree laughed. "So what are the others up to?"
"Well your cousin is a nuisance as always."
Sheree laughed. "That's not very surprising. Does he still have a crush on you?"
"No fortunately. He's just annoying. Like all Huxleys."
"Gee thanks Raya," Sheree drawled in mock annoyance. "And quit pretending you didn't enjoy the attention."
Saraya scoffed. "I ain't pretending!"
"Sure you're not," Sheree replied with a smirk. "So... how's the Prince and Ms. Knox doing?"
"Fergal's still kicking ass in Japan. I think he's in a tag team with some other dude. As for Becky... I'm not sure. I haven't seen or heard from her since her injury. I know for certain that she's booked to compete at a Shimmer event in April though."
Sheree frowned. "Seriously. You haven't heard from her?"
"Nope. She just disappeared."
"That's worrying," Sheree replied, concerned. "I hope she's okay."
"Ah don't worry about her. She's a tough woman," Saraya said with a laugh.
"Have you heard from Serena?" Sheree asked, a faint look of worry on her face. Serena Mathews was one of Sheree's best friends. The two have been joined at the hip since they met during Sheree's days under her mother's training. Unfortunately, earlier last year she was taken out of action by a fatal knee injury.
"I have. She's doing okay," Saraya answered.
"Do you know when she'll be wrestling again?" Sheree couldn't help but ask.
"I heard that she was gonna be out for another year," Saraya replied, making Sheree wince.
"It's that bad?" Sheree questioned worriedly.
"Yeah... but don't worry. That lady is even more crazier and stubborn than the both of us put together! She's gonna be fine!" Saraya replied with a chuckle. "Anyway, I'd better go! Duty calls!"
"Alright. Say hello to your crazy mother for me!"
"Do it yerself woman!"
Sheree laughed at that. "Bu-Bye Knight-light!"
She could almost see Saraya rolling her eyes at the nickname.
"Bye ya lil psycho!" she retorted playfully, before the two hung up.
Sheree beamed as she put her phone back in her pocket. It was nice to speak with Saraya after two years of not seeing her personally. She had missed the teens' antics.
"That sounded like an entertaining conversation."
Sheree looked to her left to see Charlotte sat before her, wearing a black and white-striped v-neck crop top, that revealed a large amount of her cleavage, black fingerless gloves, black jean shorts and knee-length boots, ready to referee the Six Man Tag Team Match that was coming up in a couple of minutes. "Seems WWE ain't the only ones that know about your lil secret."
The veteran had an amused smile on her face as she looked down at the younger woman.
"It was," Sheree said with a small smile. "And the Knight Family only knows cuz they are close with my parents. It's kinda hard to keep that a secret from people that were almost always around you."
"I guess that includes some of the Joshi veterans in Japan right?"
The brunette chuckled a bit, finally getting off John's back, who slammed into the floor in relief. "I didn't see them much..."
"OH THANK THE GODS!"
Charlotte eyed John with a look of worry.
"Is he gonna be okay?" she asked Sheree as she took a seat opposite the black-haired veteran.
"He'll be fine," she answered with a wave of her hand, before playfully kicking him. "Get up you idiot."
John stood up, glaring at Sheree in mock annoyance whilst rubbing his back. "Seriously, why are you so heavy?!"
"Fuck you! I ain't heavy!" Sheree snapped back in slight annoyance.
"Sheree, I know your normal weight," John said, giving Sheree a look, raising an eyebrow at her, making her go a little red as she realized she had been caught.
"Ok... maybe I've treated myself a little these last couple days, but that's beside the point!" she rambled.
"A little?" John questioned with a knowing grin.
"Well... I... shut up!" Sheree replied, her face going redder by the minute.
Freya laughed in amusement at Sheree's reaction whilst John shook his head.
"Lighten up John. It doesn't hurt to treat yourself every once in awhile. I love a slice of chocolate cake from time to time," Charlotte commented with a smile.
"Yeah John! It ain't like I get to treat myself everyday! You know I would never ruin my diet, so lay off man!" Sheree added in annoyance.
"Alright! I'm sorry I said anything," he replied with a sigh, a small smile of amusement crossing his face.
"Hey Charlotte!"
Charlotte turned around, seeing Jessie and Shawn standing near the doorway of the canteen.
"We're on soon! Lets go!" Jessie yelled with a smile, waving at her.
"Alright, alright I'm coming!" Charlotte replied, before grinning at Sheree. "Wish me luck."
"Good luck. Give JBL hell for me would you?" Sheree said, smirking as the black-haired veteran stood up.
Charlotte simply laughed.
"Will do! See ya!" Charlotte responded, before running after Jessie and Shawn.
"Did you have to run off without me?" Charlotte asked as she finally caught up to the two.
"You were taking your sweet ass time!" Jessie retorted with a smile. "You're up first you know."
"Yeah I know. See you two out there," Charlotte replied before jogging ahead.
Jessie watched as her best friend ran off, shaking her head in amusement. "It's gonna be hectic out there isn't it?"
Shawn chuckled as "Time To Play The Game" blasted throughout the arena in the background, being accompanied by a huge pop.
"Hectic doesn't even began to describe it when the Queen of Queens is involved. I feel sorry for John," Shawn admitted.
Jessie scoffed. "Don't be. He knows what he's getting himself into. He'll be fine. Now Come on. Lets go before we end up missing our cue."
"Woman, I am the great Shawn Michaels! I never miss my cue!"
Jessie rolled her eyes and playfully slapped Shawn's arm with an amused smirk on her face. "Shut up..."
. . . .
"Time To Play The Game..."
The Drum erupted into a massive pop as "The Game" by Motorhead played throughout the Frank Erwin Center, the arena darkening as the Austin fans awaited the arrival of the Queen of Queens.
"Time To Play The Game! Muahaha!"
Freya's form appeared through the smoke, dressed in referee gear, the cheering from the Austin fans increasing as Freya stood in the smoke, water bottle in hand.
After a moment, Freya lifted her head, spewing a bout of water from her lips, before walking down the ramp with a mischievous smirk on her face.
"And here comes the Special Guest Referee for this Six Man Tag Team Match, and I can't help but feel as if she's about to stir up some major trouble," JR commented.
"Trouble is an understatement JR! Have you seen the smirk on her face?! That's got malicious intent written all over it!" King exclaimed.
"And who's fault is that?! JBL should have kept his big gob shut! Now he has to wrestle in a match, with one of the women he insulted being a special guest referee!" Jenna growled.
"JBL not only insulted Freya, but every single woman that has ever stepped foot in a wrestling ring. There is no doubt in my mind that JBL now has a big red target on his back!" JR said as Freya came to a stop at the entrance of the ringside area, surveying the Austin crowd with that same mischievous smirk on her face, before walking around the ring whilst taking a gulp of her water, tossing the water bottle towards the timekeepers area.
"Damn straight!" Jenna added.
Freya climbed onto the apron, looking over the Austin crowd, before leaning back against the ropes, looking up at the ceiling whilst holding her fists out wide as water sprayed from her lips and into the air to a large reception from the fans in attendance, a spotlight shining down on her.
Freya lowered her head to eye the ruckus Austin crowd, bringing her arms down into a flex and roaring, before spewing water from her lips and out into the crowd. She surveyed the audience with a calm smile before entering the ring, traversing the squared circle and towards the corner near the announce table. She climbed up onto the middle ropes, pointing to herself and gesturing for the fans to bow down before performing her and her mentors trademark taunt, letting loose a loud roar as she flexed her biceps, the Austin, Texas crowd roaring loudly in response.
Freya stepped off the ropes and looked up at the stage as "Loaded" blasted throughout the airwaves of The Drum to a loud screaming reception.
"Six men will compete inside the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out in Las Vegas, two weeks from now! And the winner will meet the WWE Champion at WrestleMania! And that winner could be this man!" JR exclaimed as Jeff Hardy appeared from behind the minitron with the Intercontinental Championship strapped around his waist, performing his taunt as the pyrotechnics went off on either side of him, before proceeding to walk down the ramp, high fiving the fans as he made his way to the ring.
"The following is a Six Man Tag Team contest scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Cameron, North Carolina, weighing in at 225 pounds, he is the Intercontinental Champion, Jeff Hardy!" Lilian Garcia announced as the Charismatic Enigma climbed the steps and entered the ring, jogging across the ring before jumping up onto the corner ropes opposite the time-keepers area, holding his arms out whilst nodding his head to his theme music.
"Not only is Jeff Hardy the Intercontinental Champion, but he is arguably the hottest superstar on any brand in the entire WWE!" JR complimented.
"I ain't gonna argue with that! Completely agree," Jenna added.
Jeff jumped off the turnbuckle before jumping up onto another set of corner ropes, performing his Hardy taunt to a loud reaction from the fans.
Jeff jumped off the turnbuckle as the beginning beats of "Sexy Boy" played throughout the arena to a ruckus reception, fans screaming as Shawn Michaels and Jessie Lauren skipped out to an excited Texas crowd.
"And his partner, introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Jessie Lauren, from San Antonio, Texas, weighing 255 pounds, The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!" Lilian announced as Shawn dropped to his knees on the ramp with Jessie behind him, before holding their arms out, pyrotechnics going off behind them.
Jessie pulled off Shawn's open crown hat and placed it on her head as he stood up, making Shawn shake his head in amusement, before the two walked down the ramp, high fiving the fans that were behind the guardrails as they made their way to the ring.
"Well Shawn Michaels knows what it's like to win inside the Elimination Chamber," JR commented.
"He won the first one right?" Jenna questioned.
"That's right. But just knowing isn't gonna guarantee you victory once you get inside that chamber," King replied.
"There are no guarantees in the Elimination Chamber, but there certainly will be casualties," JR added as Shawn and Jessie entered the ring, spinning on the balls of their feet, before performing their trademark muscle-flexing pose, garnering a small reaction before surveying the loud arena.
Jessie approached their special guest referee with a small grin.
"How do I look?" she asked, striking a pose with Shawn's hat still on her head.
"Really silly!" Freya commented with a laugh as their theme music died down.
Jessie kept the hat on despite Freya's comment as the millennium clock began to countdown, getting a huge reaction from the fans.
"5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 2nd Coming!"
Jessie shook her head as a multitude of fireworks erupted off the stage and the titantron.
"Does he have to be so flashy..." she muttered, making Freya chuckle.
"Look who's talking, lil Ms. Show-stealer!" Freya replied.
"Alright... I'll give you that one..."
"Come on! You know I gotcha... yeah! One... BREAK THE WALLS DOWN!"
"And weighing in at 206 pounds, Chris Jericho!" Lilian García announced as "Y2J" Chris Jericho appeared on the stage, arms stretched out wide and his back facing everyone before turning around, hyping up the WWE fans, before walking down the ramp, surveying the Austin crowd whilst making his way to the ring.
"Well there will be no saving any mortal beings inside the Elimination Chamber," JR commented as Jericho entered the ringside area and walked up the steps, surveying the crowd whilst wrapping his arms around the top ropes with a smirk, before entering the ring and jumping up onto the turnbuckle, pointing to the fans as they let loose a loud cheer.
"Well ladies and gentlemen, this Six Man Tag Team Main Event is going to be red hot! How will Hardy, Michaels and Jericho coexist? And more importantly, how will they survive! We'll find out. Our Main Event, is next."
Monday Night Raw came back from its break as JBL was making his entrance, glaring at Freya and Jessie Lauren as he came to a stop beside Snitsky. Jessie glared back at the man, while Freya's face remained stoic, appearing unfazed by JBL's glare.
"Welcome back to Monday Night Raw! Good ole' JR, Jim Ross alongside Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jenna! We are live in Austin, Texas!" Jim Ross announced.
"Just look at the looks on Freya and Jessie Lauren's face as JBL makes his way to the ring. We all know Freya is definitely NOT gonna be impartial in this match up," King commented.
"Well if she's not, that's JBL's own fault for poking fun at the Divas Division! I'll admit last year wasn't a great year for the Divas. But they're startin' to pick up some ground. They're startin' to get back on their feet! I can feel it!" Jenna exclaimed enthusiastically.
"Well at least your optimistic..." King replied with a chuckle as "Voodoo Virtual" played throughout the arena. Umaga stomped out onto the stage with that slightly crazed look on his face.
"And from the Isle of Samoa, weighing in at 360 pounds, Umaga!"
Jericho, Shawn, Jessie and Jeff watched Umaga walk down the ramp with frowns masking their faces, all knowing that with Umaga in the match, it was going to be tough to win.
"Man... Umaga scares me!" Jenna commented with a gulp.
"I've noticed," King quipped in amusement.
"I don't blame you. Especially when Umaga is not above going after the Divas to make a statement," JR said.
"If that is your way of placating my fears than you're not helping JR!" Jenna snapped slightly.
"Don't worry Jenna! I'll protect you!" King replied with a big smile.
"Right... sure you will..."
Umaga made it to ringside, eyeing his competition, before glaring at his partners that were waiting for him at ringside. The big Samoan proceeded to slam his hands down on the steel steps, before walking up them and glaring at his three opponents for the night.
Jessie gulped at the look in Umaga's eyes and stepped out of the ring, wanting to keep as much distance away from the Samoan Bulldozer as possible.
Umaga and his team stepped inside the ring as his entrance music faded out, still glaring at his three opponents.
"JBL said earlier tonight, that he had invested in Umaga as a protection plan to keep JBL healthy and win the Elimination Chamber," JR commented.
"Well... that was his plan, but it appears to have backfired on him. I don't think Umaga is interested in JBL's plans at all," Jenna said.
"I agree. I personally didn't like the look in Umaga's eye when he looked at JBL. I didn't see any kind of agreement in the eyes of Umaga," King added.
JBL took off his hat and jacket, before turning around, coming face to face with the glare of Umaga. "Look, Look!"
"I bet JBL is internally crying over the money he just wasted, because it's obvious Umaga doesn't care about JBL," Jenna said with a slight chuckle.
JBL and Snitsky stepped out of the ring, while Jericho and Hardy stepped out of the ring on their corner. Freya checked to see if everyone was ready before signalling for the bell to ring.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
"Well it looks like Umaga is gonna start off first, representing JBL and Snitsky in this one fall to a finish Six Man Tag Team Match. Great ovation for Shawn Michaels who's starting things off for his trio," JR commented as Umaga scowled at Shawn, who eyed him with caution, while the home-state crowd popped excitedly at the fact that Shawn Michaels was going to start off first.
"Shawn!" Jessie called out over the loud cheering, making him turn around to find her eyeing him and Umaga in worry. "Are you sure you wanna go first?"
Shawn just smirked down at the woman and turned back to Umaga. "Don't worry Jessie. I've got this."
Jessie stayed quiet at this but was still worried. Umaga gave her the creeps. She only grew more worried when Umaga roared in her mentor's face, waving his arms around wildly.
Even Freya, who was officiating the match stepped back a little.
Jessie watched as Umaga suddenly launched himself at Shawn, only for the veteran to duck and land the first blow with a chop to the big man's chest, which seemed completely ineffective, the fans reacting with a 'Woo!' in response.
Shawn narrowed his eyes at the big man, before landing two more chops that only managed to stagger the large Samoan.
"Michaels needs to stick and move here. You don't wanna be in front of Umaga for too long," JR commented as Michaels went to whip Umaga towards the ropes, only for Umaga to reverse this and send Shawn catapulting into the ropes instead.
"Well he's moving now," King added as Shawn bounced off the ropes and leaped over Umaga, looking for a sunset flip, but wasn't successful in completing the move thanks to Umaga's weight advantage. The large Samoan waved his arms around wildly, trying to maintain his balance.
"He might wanna move now!" Jenna exclaimed, not liking Shawn's current predicament.
Jessie almost covered her eyes when Umaga went to flatten her mentor, only for Shawn to roll out of the way just in time, with Umaga landing backside first on the mat.
"Oh!" King cried out.
"Phew! That was close!" Jenna commented with a sigh of relief as Shawn quickly scrambled back onto his feet.
Taking advantage of the situation, Shawn bounced off the ropes and hit a low dropkick before going for an early pin.
"Michaels, going for an early pin and Umaga powers out!" JR exclaimed as Umaga tossed Shawn off him.
"More like he threw him off!" Jenna commented as both men quickly rose to their feet.
Michaels pressed on the attack, arm wrenching Umaga's arm before tagging in Chris Jericho.
"Tag made to the first ever Undisputed WWE Champion, who has had some problems with JBL to say the least," JR commented as Jericho entered the ring, kicking Umaga in the gut before wrenching his arm even more.
Umaga quickly retaliated by catching Chris in the gut with a knee, before connecting with a swift headbutt to Jericho's head, making him drop to his hands and knees.
Umaga then tagged in Snitsky, who began stomping away at Chris Jericho, before pulling him back onto his feet and forcing him into the corner where he continued to stomp, elbow and punch away at Y2J.
"Oh man... Snitsky is all over Jericho!" Jenna commented as Jessie watched on with a look of worry.
Freya narrowed her eyes, before walking up to the two and pushing Snitsky away from Jericho. "That's enough!"
"Uh-oh!" King commented.
Snitsky glared at the woman before an ugly smile stretched across his face, making Freya scowl in faint disgust at the sight of his yellow teeth.
"Eww..." Jenna muttered, also disgusted.
"That is... err… hahaha..." King laughed nervously.
"Like you can do anything about it!" he scoffed in her face as a loud 'Brush Your Teeth!' chant vibrated throughout The Drum.
Snitsky turned away from Freya, not noticing the venomous look that appeared in Freya's face as Snitsky focused his attention back on Chris Jericho.
"I don't think Snitsky is afraid of Freya," JR commented.
"He should be! She's called the Queen of Queens for a reason!" King replied.
"If he turned around and saw the look on her face, it would be a different story!" Jenna retorted, as Snitsky went to whip Y2J into the opposite corner, but Jericho reversed this and whipped Snitsky into the corner instead. Jericho ran at the larger man, only for Snitsky to catch Chris in the face with an elbow that sent him staggering away, holding his face in pain.
Snitsky ran at the Canadian, looking to boot him in the face.
"Look out!" King cried out.
Jericho ducked the boot, causing Snitsky to collide balls-first into the ropes! "OH!"
"Oh man! Hahaha, I do NOT feel sorry for him!" Jenna laughed.
The fans let loose an 'Ohhh!' as Snitsky cried out in pain, stuck on the ropes.
"HA! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT BRUSHING YOUR TEETH, YOU LOSER!" Jessie yelled out, laughing at Snitsky's expense, while Freya attempted to hide her sniggers at the sight of Snitsky sitting on the ropes with a pained expression on his face, although she wasn't very convincing, much to the fans amusement.
"Err... Jessie and Freya obviously, enjoying the pain that Snitsky is feeling right now," JR commented.
"That's because they don't know what it feels like!" King replied.
Not wasting anytime, Jericho spring-boarded off the middle ropes and hit Snitsky with a triangle dropkick that dropped Snitsky off the ropes and onto the mat.
"Jericho with that springboard dropkick!" JR exclaimed as Jericho pulled Snitsky onto his feet and whipped him into the corner, before tagging in Jeff Hardy who received a large reaction from the fans. "Tag made to the Intercontinental Champion!"
Jericho got onto his hands and knees, whilst Jeff ran to the other side of the ring, sizing up Snitsky who was still a little dazed from the triangle dropkick.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Jenna exclaimed, the fans cheering louder, quickly realising what Jeff and Chris were aiming to do.
"Look at this!" King cried out as Jeff Hardy took off in a running sprint, leaping off Jericho's back and slamming into Snitsky with a leg lariat in the corner. "Wow!"
"Taking a page out of the Hardy Boyz playbook!" Jenna commented with a smirk as Snitsky fell to his knees, while Jericho and Hardy hyped up the WWE fans, who responded with 'Hardy!' chants while Jessie watched on with a big smile on her face. "Jessie seemed to like that!"
"I don't think we'll be seeing anything like that inside the Elimination Chamber," King commented.
"Definitely not," Jenna replied.
"The stakes are too high!" JR added.
Jeff grabbed Snitsky as he stood up, only to receive a knee to the stomach for his troubles. Jeff stumbled into the corner, arm wrapped around his stomach in pain, before Snitsky dragged him out of the corner and scooped him up, slamming Jeff back down into the mat.
Snitsky tagged in JBL before stamping away at Jeff repeatedly, causing Freya to eye the two in annoyance, before grabbing Snitsky and forcing him to face her.
"Uh-oh!" King cried out.
"Freya, gettin' in Snitsky's face yet again!" JR commented.
Freya pointed outside of the ring, eyes narrowed as she glared at Snitsky.
"Get. Out," she growled, her tone voicing her mood.
Snitsky smirked, not at all fazed by the woman's growing irritation but obliged anyway.
Freya turned around just in time to see JBL slam Jeff Hardy face first into the turnbuckle, before proceeding to pummel away at the man with hard shots to the face.
"Oh man! Look at those shots!" King commented, wincing at each shot.
"JBL with those piston-like rights," JR commented.
Ugh! What's with these men! Freya thought in annoyance, before forcefully pulling JBL away from Jeff Hardy who was now slumped in the corner.
"That's enough outta you!" Freya snapped, glaring at the man.
JBL scowled before trying to push past Freya, who refused to budge, shoving the man back with a warning scowl. "Have you got gunk in your ears?! I said that's enough!"
JBL stepped up to the woman with a snarl, the fans becoming restless, watching the confrontation with rapt attention.
"Oh boy! Things are getting a bit too heated," Jenna commented.
"I was afraid this would happen!" King commented nervously as the two scowled in each other's face.
"JBL and Freya are nose to nose!" JR exclaimed.
"More like JBL is towering over Freya!" King cried out.
"Move it girl!" JBL snarled down at the special guest referee, who smirked in response.
"Or what? You're gonna hit me? Oh sure, that would make you look real tough!"
JBL scowled in anger, just about reaching his limit at Freya's snarky sarcastic attitude.
JBL suddenly grabbed a fist full of Freya's hair, before launching her halfway across the ring, causing the fans to stand up in shock before crying out in extreme anger!
"Hey!" King yelled out as Jericho, Jessie and Shawn stared at where Freya landed roughly on the mat in horror.
"What the hell!" JR snapped in anger.
"That son of a... what the hell does he think he's playin' at?! That rotten lil bastard!" Jenna raged in fury as Jessie rushed around the ring to where Freya was, a look of extreme worry on her face as Freya slowly lifted herself off the mat.
"I agree! How dare he put his hands on a woman like that?!" King growled.
"Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting!" JR added in anger.
"Next time stay out of my way!" JBL snapped, glaring down at Freya as she made it to one knee.
"Freya, are you alright?" Jessie asked worriedly as the woman slowly rose up onto her feet.
"I'm fine. Go back to your corner," Freya replied.
"But-"
"Now Jessie!" Freya snarled slightly, cutting off her best friend with an angry glare.
Jessie gulped at the look in her hazel-grey eyes, but did as she was told.
Freya turned around, watching with a stoic expression as JBL pulled Jeff out of the corner and knocked him off his feet with a devastating haymaker, ignoring Shawn's worried gaze.
"Well, Freya is back on her feet, but from the look in her eye, JBL better be careful from now on!" JR commented as JBL grabbed Jeff by his shoulder-length locks, not noticing the predatory dark look on Freya's face as she watched him.
"That's a scary sight," King said.
"JBL better count his lucky stars that Triple H ain't here tonight! Cuz there is no way he'd let him get away with what he just did to Freya!" Jenna retorted as JBL pulled Hardy to his feet, only for Jeff to push JBL's hand away, going for a gut kick which was caught by the Wrestling God.
Jeff quickly reversed this though, twisting his body and connecting with a mule kick to the chest of JBL, sending him crashing onto his back, the fans exploding at Jeff's sudden burst of offence.
"Jeff Hardy with the mule kick!" JR cried out as Jeff quickly sprang back up to his feet and grabbed the legs of JBL, letting loose a yell before hitting a leg drop between the legs of JBL.
"Oh!" Jenna winced as Jeff went for the pin, with Freya barely managing to make the 1 count before JBL kicked out.
"JBL with a quick kick out there," JR noted as the two men recovered and stood back up. Jeff ran the ropes, only to receive a shoulder tackle from JBL as he came off the ropes, sending him flying off his feet. "Oh! What a tackle from JBL!"
JBL slowly pulled himself up onto his feet and tagged in Snitsky. As soon as Snitsky entered the ring, he let loose a loud yell, going for a running elbow drop, but Jeff quickly rolled out of the way, leaping forward towards his corner and tagging in Shawn Michaels to a screaming reaction as he entered the ring. "And here comes HBK, Shawn Michaels!"
Shawn rocked Snitsky with a series of chops that sent the taller man stumbling into the ropes. The Heartbreak Kid whipped Snitsky towards the opposite side of the ring, only for Snitsky to reverse this and send Shawn into the ropes instead.
"Snitsky with a reversal and Shawn comes back with a huge flying forearm!" JR exclaimed as Shawn came off the ropes and floored Snitsky with a flying forearm, getting a huge reaction from the Austin fans as Shawn kicked up back onto his feet, with Jessie cheering along with the fans.
The fans cheering instantly depleted when Snitsky retaliated with a huge clothesline, flooring the icon. "Oh my god! What a clothesline from Snitsky!"
"Man... that was brutal!" Jenna commented as Shawn held the back of his head in pain while Jessie looked on in worry.
Snitsky watched as Shawn tried to get back up onto his feet, while Jeff, Jericho and Jessie rallied the fans, a loud chant of 'HBK! HBK! HBK!' resounding throughout the arena.
"The fans here trying to rally behind Shawn Michaels!" JR observed as the Heartbreak Kid slowly made it to his feet.
"Shawn had better be careful though. Snitsky is- whoa!" Jenna exclaimed as Snitsky ran at Shawn with a yell as he turned around, looking to boot his head off, but the veteran ducked out of the way, quickly taking Snitsky down and applying a modified version of the Figure Four Leglock, the fans cheering as Snitsky cried out in pain.
"Look at this!" King cried out.
"Michaels with the submission!" JR exclaimed as Snitsky continued to cry out in pain from the agonizing submission.
"I don't know whether that's a Figure Four Leglock or an Indian Deathlock, but whatever it is, it's working," Jenna said as Shawn pulled and twisted and yanked at Snitsky's legs, almost making him cry from the tremendous pain that he was in. "Snitsky might just- Uh oh!"
"Shawn, look out!" Jessie warned, but was too late, wincing as Umaga came out of nowhere and dropped his huge, hard head down on HBK, making him release the hold on Snitsky and causing the fans to boo in annoyance at the interference.
"Oh man!" Jerry Lawler winced at the impact.
"Illegal, but effective," JR added.
Freya glared at the big man, her annoyance intensifying as Umaga wrapped his big hands around Shawn's head and forcefully pulled him up onto his feet, before rocking the Heartbreak Kid with a hard headbutt, making him stumble back into the ropes.
"Hey! Get out of the ring!" Freya demanded, but Umaga blatantly ignored her, running at Shawn Michaels, only for the smaller man to drop down whilst pulling down the top rope, causing Umaga to go sailing over him.
"Whoa!" King cried out as Umaga tumbled to the floor on the outside.
Freya threw up her hands in annoyance when JBL and Chris Jericho entered the ring, giving up on trying to establish order and deciding to just let them do what they want, watching as Chris bolted across the ring and dropkicked Snitsky as he was getting up.
"Jericho with a dropkick, sending Snitsky out of the ring," JR observed as JBL went after Shawn Michaels, stomping away at him.
"I think it's starting to get a bit out of hand in there," Jenna commented as Jeff entered the ring and attacked JBL with a clubbing blow before tossing him out of the ring. Jenna chuckled when Freya decided to pull herself up onto the top turnbuckle near where Jericho was standing, glaring at the three men in the ring with an impassive annoyed frown.
"What is Freya doing?" King questioned.
"I guess she's had enough and has decided to just let them fight it out for now," Jenna replied in amusement.
All three men looked at each other, all nodding at one another with a plan formulating in their minds, before turning towards their opponents as they recovered, Jericho watching Snitsky, Shawn Michaels glaring down at Umaga and Jeff staring down JBL.
To the excitement of the fans in attendance, all three men catapulted over the ropes and crashed down onto their respective targets with three huge planchas, causing the Austin, Texas crowd to scream out in excitement.
"Oh my!" JR exclaimed as Jessie cheered along with the fans, jumping up and down in excitement at the three slingshot planchas, getting a smirk of amusement from Freya, who was still sat on the top turnbuckle.
"Wow!" King added in shock.
"That was amazing!" Jenna cried out in awe as all three men re-entered the ring, fired up as the WWE fans continued to cheer ecstatically.
"Three huge planchas, and this match will continue! OH MY! What a main event!" JR exclaimed as RAW went to another commercial break, with Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho and Jeff Hardy hyping up the crowd, standing tall in the ring.
Raw came back from its commercial, just in time too as Jericho fell into the canvas back first, arms covering his face as he laid next to Snitsky, who was laid out next to him. Everyone was back in their corner of the ring, with Jessie Lauren glaring at JBL from her side of the ring, having seen what he had just done.
"Oooh..." King winced.
"We are back ladies and gentleman on Monday Night Raw. What a main event, what a six-man tag we are witnessing tonight. Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho and Jeff Hardy taking on JBL, Snitsky and Umaga. Just five of the men competing in the Elimination Chamber Match in 2 weeks at No Way Out," JR explained as Snitsky began to recover.
"And lets not forget who our Special Guest Referee is. The woman that JBL insulted earlier tonight, Freya," Jenna reminded everyone as a loud ruckus chant of 'Y2J! Y2J! Y2J!' vibrated throughout the arena.
"Just as we were coming back from the commercial break, Jericho was attempting his signature Lionsault when Bradshaw caught him right in the mouth with a cheap shot. And that's what put Jericho down," King said as replays were shown of JBL using his tall frame to reach up and catch Jericho in the face with his fist.
Freya, having also seen JBL's cheap shot, gave him a scolding warning glare which made him raise his hands in mock surrender. Freya narrowed her eyes at the man, before turning back to the action, just in time to witness a recovered Snitsky scoop Chris Jericho up and slam him back first into the canvas.
Snitsky then ran the ropes, bouncing off them and dropping his elbow into the chest of Jericho before going for a pin attempt.
"Snitsky, going for the pin. Can he get the win?" JR questioned as Freya went to count the pin attempt.
1...
2...
"No! Jericho gets the shoulder up at a count of 2!"
"Come on!" Snitsky snapped in frustration, before standing up and grabbing a fist full of Jericho's short hair, pulling Y2J up onto his feet and tossing him over to his corner of the ring.
"Jericho doesn't want to be there," King said as Snitsky tagged in Umaga, who proceeded to attack Jericho with a series of powerful forearms to his back, making the fans boo angrily when he showed no signs of letting up.
"Man... look at those shots!" Jenna commented, wincing at each shot.
"What vicious shots to the back of Jericho," JR added.
Umaga managed to get in a headbutt to the back of Jericho, before Freya decided that enough was enough and stepped in between Umaga and Jericho. "Freya, trying to gain some order here."
"That's enough of that. Back up," the woman warned with an icy glare, making Umaga back up a bit.
Whilst Freya was dealing with Umaga, JBL and Snitsky took advantage of the distracted referee and resorted to choking Y2J out.
"Err... Freya! Freya turn around!" Jenna warned.
Freya was about to turn around when Shawn bolted into the ring, angered by the dirty tactics of JBL and Snitsky, catching her attention.
"Shawn! What are doing?!" the woman snapped, holding the man off. "Out of the ring, now!"
"But-"
"Don't make me use your full name Shawn!" Freya warned, cutting him off before he could say anything. At that Shawn reluctantly stepped back onto the apron.
Freya breathed a sigh of relief, not noticing Umaga brutally assaulting Chris Jericho with vicious stamps, JBL and Snitsky restraining Y2J so that he won't be able to fight back, gaining a round of boos from the audience.
Freya was about to turn back towards the action, only to curse as Jeff also entered the ring, seemingly having had enough of the cheating as well. "What is wrong with you two tonight?! Get outta the ring Hardy!"
"But they're-"
"I don't wanna hear it! I've got it handled! Now get back in your corner!"
Jeff scoffed at her, but did as he was told, stepping back onto the ring apron.
"Freya has her hands full..." King chuckled in amusement as the black-haired woman ran her hands through her long locks in annoyance.
"Yes she does. Umaga absolutely assaulting Jericho," JR said as Freya finally turned her focus back onto the action in the ring.
"Assault is the best way to put it. Oh man... Jericho was getting brutalised!" Jenna added.
Jericho was slumped against the bottom turnbuckle, with Umaga staring down at him in bloodthirsty glee. Snitsky and JBL held their hands up in the air as the Special Guest Official for the match made her way towards them, seemingly innocent smiles on their faces. But Freya was not fooled. She's played these games herself in the past.
The Queen of Queens grabbed both Snitsky and JBL, wrapping her arms around their necks and pulling them in close.
"I swear... if you two don't knock it off with your shit..." the woman trailed off as she growled quietly in the two men's ears. Freya then let go of the two and backed off, allowing the action to continue.
"I'm not sure what was said, but I believe Freya just laid down the law right there," JR noted, seeing the sudden frowns that appeared on Snitsky and JBL's faces at being threatened.
"She's a student of The Game. Literally. She won't be fooled easily," King replied.
Jericho slowly pulled himself up onto his feet and quickly retaliated, knocking Snitsky off the apron with a stiff elbow and catching JBL in the face with another elbow.
"Jericho, trying to fight back into this and- Oh! Oh crap!" Jenna exclaimed as Umaga stopped Y2J in his tracks with a devastating shot to the throat, making Jericho collapse to the mat, slumped against the bottom turnbuckle yet again.
"Man oh man! Jericho is out!" King added.
Umaga pulled Jericho back onto his feet and away from the corner, applying a painful bearhug on the smaller man, making him grunt in pain as Umaga tried to squeeze the life out of him.
"Y2J! Y2J! Y2J!"
The WWE fans chanted loudly, trying to will Jericho back into the match, while Freya watched carefully, waiting to see if Jericho would submit or not. The chanting proved to be working as Jericho began to retaliate with a series of elbows to the side of Umaga's head.
"Jericho, trying to fight out. Trying to fight out of this predicament," JR observed. Chris eventually got free, running the ropes and rebounding off it, only to get caught in the clutches of the Samoan Bulldozer.
"Oh no!" King cried out as Umaga caught Jericho on his shoulders and quickly slammed him back down into the canvas with a devastating Samoan drop.
"Oh! Jericho was fighting back, only to get caught with a deadly Samoan drop," JR said.
"Man. Deadly is right, Jericho had no way of stopping that," Jenna added as Umaga took a small breather, before crawling into the cover.
1...
2...
Jericho just about managed to kick out after the two count, but Umaga didn't seem completely bothered by this.
"Jericho kicks out at two there," JR observed as Umaga stood up and pulled Jericho up into a seated position, before driving his knee into the back of Jericho, making him cry out in intense pain.
"Oh! Ouch!" Jenna winced at the force of the knee. Umaga then wrapped his big arms around Jericho's waist squeezing with all his might, making Y2J grunt in pain.
"What do you say Jericho? You gave up?" Freya questioned, getting a shake of the head from the Canadian in response.
Chants of 'Y2J! Y2J! Y2J!' resounded throughout the arena, the Texas crowd trying to will Chris Jericho back into the match.
"Jericho desperately needs to make the tag. I don't know how long he's gonna last in there," King said as Umaga continued to squeeze the life out of Jericho and keep him grounded.
Hearing his fans chanting throughout the arena, Jericho scowled defiantly and powered his way back onto his feet, but before he could try and fight out of Umaga's strong grip, Umaga retaliated with a strong headbutt to the back of Jericho, making him collapse face first onto the mat, effectively silencing the fans. "Oh what a headbutt!"
"Umaga, keeping his body in between Jericho and Jericho's corner," JR noted as the Samoan Bulldozer tagged in JBL. "And now the adversaries that literally beat the hell out of each other at the Royal Rumble are about to lock horns."
JBL entered the ring, kicking Jericho in the face before viciously assaulting him with a series of repeated elbows to Jericho's chest. "Many people believe that what JBL said, not just about Jericho but about his children as well, was very disrespectful."
"And lets not forget about what he said earlier on. He not only insulted Freya and Jessie Lauren, but the entire Divas locker room as well!" King added.
"He's a lowlife scumbag that can't keep his stupid mouth shut!" Jenna retorted in disgust as JBL relented on the elbow strikes to Jericho's chest, going for the cover.
"The cover here! JBL looking for the cover here!" JR exclaimed.
1...
2...
"No... Jericho kicks out at 2!"
JBL scowled in anger, before shooting up onto his feet and getting in Freya's face yet again.
"What are you playing at woman! That was three?!"
"Hey wait a minute!" King cried out.
"Not again!" Jenna groaned in annoyance.
"JBL, getting in Freya's face yet again!" JR added as the Queen of Queen's glared up at the taller man, her hazel-grey eyes lighting up in anger.
"Excuse me?!" she shrieked in rage.
"That was a slow count!" JBL snapped at her.
"No it wasn't!" Freya snapped back, making JBL growl down at her.
"COUNT FASTER YOU STUPID GIRL!" JBL roared in her face, making the fans boo in disgust at his attitude and his rudeness.
"What is wrong with that man?!" Jenna exclaimed as JBL turned away from Freya, not noticing the pure unbridled wrath on the woman's face.
"I don't know but he'd better be careful. There is only so much that woman can take before she snaps!" King replied.
"It's not wise to push Freya's buttons. It seems that JBL has forgotten that," JR added.
JBL grabbed a fist full of Jericho's hair, forcing him to his feet, looking to punch Y2J in the face, only for Jericho to block this and retaliate with his own.
"Jericho, starting to fight back!" JR said as Jericho rocked JBL with vicious punches, elbows and kicks, forcing the taller man to back up into the ropes.
"Here comes Jericho!" King exclaimed as Jericho whipped JBL towards the far ropes, only for JBL to reverse this, whipping Y2J into the ropes instead, blasting Y2J off his feet with a huge boot to the face as he came off the ropes. "OH!"
"That didn't look good..." Jenna commented, wincing along with the fans at the impact of JBL's boot colliding with Jericho's face.
JBL fell to his knees, pinning Jericho's shoulders to the mat.
"JBL now, going for the cover," JR noted.
But the three count never came...
JBL looked up, his anger boiling as he stared at Freya, who had not moved a muscle, simply standing there and glaring down at the taller man.
"Uh-oh..." Jenna muttered nervously as the fans cheered Freya's rebelliousness on.
"Err... Freya... you're supposed to start the three count now..." King added.
"I don't think she wants to King. JBL has worked her last nerve! And he's paying the price for it!" JR said as JBL slowly stood up, glaring at Freya in anger.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" JBL growled.
"Oh I'm sorry..." Freya drawled mockingly. "Did you want me to start the three count?"
"Yes, I wanted you to start the three count!" JBL snapped, advancing towards the woman.
"Well, maybe if you dropped the attitude, take that tone out of your voice and treat me with some respect, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now!" Freya growled.
"Now you listen-!"
"No, you listen to me!" Freya snapped, cutting the man off. "You either know your place, or I make an example out of you right now!"
"Is that a threat?!"
"Yer damn right that's a threat! Now shut up and finish this god forsaken match so I don't have to deal with your ass again!" the woman snapped, the fans cheering Freya on, while Jessie, Shawn and Jeff watched the exchange in amusement.
"Freya telling JBL straight. He's been messing around with her throughout the whole match!" Jenna growled slightly.
"Well, at least Freya has finally maintained a bit of order in this match up," JR added.
"If you say so JR," King commented in a disbelieving tone as JBL scowled in anger, glaring down at Freya before slowly backing away and tagging in Snitsky.
Snitsky didn't hesitate to press on the attack on Jericho, kicking him in the face when he attempted to stand and then roughly pulling Y2J back up onto his feet, lifting him up off the ground and attempting to squeeze the life out of him with a powerful bearhug.
A loud 'Y2J!' chant resounded throughout the arena as the fans tried to will Chris Jericho back into the match.
"Man... Snitsky's got that bearhug in deep," Jenna commented.
"Yeah, I don't know how Jericho is gonna get out of this one. I don't even think the fans will be able to help him," King added as the chants of 'Y2J! Y2J! Y2J!' got louder, the fans cheering when Jericho began to show signs of defiance, lifting his arm up to let them know that he wasn't about to give up yet.
"No! NO!" Snitsky spat in his face, tightening his hold on Jericho, making him release a small yelp of pain. Y2J refused to waver though and began fighting back with fists to the face of Snitsky, before clapping the big man's ears hard, making Snitsky release the hold, much to the relief of the fans.
"Jericho, trying to fight back. We know Y2J will not back down so easily," JR commented.
As soon as he got free, Jericho rocked Snitsky with a fist to the face and a huge chop for good measure, before sprinting towards the ropes, only to receive a knee to the back from Umaga. "Oh, shot to the back of Jericho before being knocked down by a back elbow from Snitsky."
"Jericho can't seem to get any offence going! He's trapped!" Jenna said as Snitsky stared down at the man with a small snarl.
"At this point Jericho just needs to tag out or something! He's getting decimated!" King added.
Snitsky stamped at the chest of Jericho, ignoring the 'Brush Your Teeth!' chants that resounded throughout the Frank Erwin Center and tagged in Umaga.
Snitsky pulled Jericho off the mat for the Samoan Bulldozer, allowing him to lay into the groggy Y2J with a massive right, dazing Chris and making him lean against the middle ropes.
"Umaga has Jericho at his mercy," JR said as Umaga drove his massive head into the back of Jericho. "Chris Jericho desperately needs to make the tag."
Umaga got in a well placed kick on Jericho's back, making him cry out in pain, before Chris retaliated with a vicious chop. The Texas fans in attendance let loose a loud 'Woo!' as the two proceeded to have a chopping contest.
"Whoa, look at this!" King exclaimed.
"Jericho's fighting with all his got!" JR added, until Umaga caught Y2J under the chin with a huge shot, sending Jericho crashing back to the mat. "But it was short lived!"
"Oh man... Jericho's gettin' the crap beat out of him! He just can't get anything going!" Jenna groaned as Umaga glared down at Chris Jericho, before walking to the other side of the ring and climbing the corner. "Err... what's he doing?"
"No way..." King muttered.
"One can only imagine what we're gonna see here," JR said.
"No way! There is no way Umaga can jump that far!" King exclaimed as the big man perched himself up on the middle ropes.
"Look out!" Jenna cried out as Umaga leaped off the middle ropes, looking for a flying headbutt, only for Jericho to roll out of harm's way, causing Umaga to face plant into the mat! "Oh!"
"Jericho moved! Jericho moved outta the way!" JR exclaimed as the fans cheered this on.
"I didn't think Umaga could jump that far but he did! Too bad Jericho moved out of the way," King commented as the two legal men tried to gain their bearings, Jessie, Jeff and Shawn hyping up the crowd and trying to will Jericho to make the tag.
The fans increased in volume as Jericho slowly crawled towards his corner.
"Now Jericho just needs to make the tag!" Jenna exclaimed.
"He's a long way though," King commented.
Before Jericho could even reach for his team mates, Umaga grabbed a fist full of his hair, stopping him from making the tag. The Samoan Bulldozer forced Jericho to his feet and went for a wild punch, only for Jericho to duck and retaliate with an enziguri kick that knocked Umaga off his feet.
"Enziguri! Jericho has got some breathing room now to make the tag!" JR exclaimed as Jericho stirred, reaching out to tag in either Shawn or Jeff Hardy. But Umaga was stirring too, beginning to recover from the kick that Jericho gave him.
"Come on! Come on!" Jenna chanted as the fans began to get restless, watching as both Jericho and Umaga used whatever energy they had left to crawl towards their respective tag partners.
"Oh no!" King groaned when Umaga made the tag to Snitsky, only for Jericho to launch himself towards his corner, tagging in Jeff Hardy to a screaming pop. "Hey! Jericho made the tag!"
"Here comes Jeff Hardy!" JR exclaimed as Jeff sprang into action, entering the ring and drop-kicking the legs of Snitsky, sending the big man crashing to his knees. Jeff pressed on the attack, running the ropes and blasting Snitsky with a running forearm.
Jeff went to whip Snitsky into the ropes, only for Snitsky to reverse this, whipping Jeff into the ropes, who bounced back, blasting Snitsky with another running forearm that blasted him off his feet.
Snitsky stood back up, albeit groggily, backing up into the corner.
"Hardy with no fear! The Legend Thriller!" Hardy planted a sharp kick into Snitsky's gut, before whipping him towards the far opposite corner, only for Snitsky to reverse this, sending Jeff barrelling towards the far corner instead.
"Uh-oh!" Jenna exclaimed when the Charismatic Enigma quickly ran up the ropes and twirled through the air, nailing the Whisper in the Wind on Snitsky to a rousing reaction from the fans.
"Whisper in the Wind! Jeff Hardy hit it!" JR cried as Jeff quickly stood up, only to get booted in the face by JBL! "JBL with that wicked boot!"
"Seriously?!" Jenna yelled out, having had enough of JBL's antics. And she wasn't the only one. Freya scowled at the man as he stood over Jeff.
"Are you kidding me?! You can't go-" Freya was suddenly cut off by the taller man roughly shoving her onto the mat, sending the crowd into an angry uproar.
"Shut up and get outta my way, you stupid bitch!" he snapped in bitter anger.
"Oh wait a minute!" King growled.
"What the damn hell!" JR snapped in anger as Freya glowered up at the man.
"That rotten-" Jenna was cut off by Chris Jericho coming out of nowhere and taking out the taller man with his Codebreaker finisher, sending JBL flying off his feet and out of the ring.
"Oh!" King cried out, while Freya smirked at the sight.
"Codebreaker to JBL!" JR exclaimed.
"Good," Jenna retorted.
Jericho stood up, only to receive the Samoan Spike.
"Oh my god!" Jenna cringed at the sight of Umaga shoving his huge thumb into the throat of Jericho.
"Oh the Samoan Spike!" King exclaimed as Umaga watched Jericho roll out of the ring, only to get hit in the face with the Sweet Chin Music, garnering a huge reaction from the Austin crowd. "Sweet Chin Music! What in the world!"
Shawn didn't even get a chance to celebrate before he was booted in the face by Snitsky, getting a round of boos from the fans.
"Oh man!" Jenna winced as Shawn rolled out of the ring, with Jessie immediately going to his side in worry.
"Snitsky with that big boot, and we're back where we started," JR noted as Jeff bolted back into the ring and kicked Snitsky in the gut.
"Hey! Twist of Fate!" King cried out, the arena erupting into a screaming pop as Jeff quickly hit the Twist of Fate, planting Snitsky's face into the mat whilst Freya finally made it to her feet, making sure that she was out of the way.
"Hardy with a Twist of Fate!" JR exclaimed as Jeff quickly sprang back up onto his feet, rushing towards the nearest corner and exiting the ring. "The red-hot Jeff Hardy!"
"And he ain't done!" Jenna added as Jeff stood on the ring apron, letting loose a loud yell which made the fans scream louder in response, before quickly scaling the ropes and perching himself at the top. "Hardy's gonna fly!"
The fans screamed out in excitement as Jeff leaped off the turnbuckle, hitting a huge Swanton Bomb on Snitsky.
"Swanton Bomb!" King cheered.
"Bullseye!" Jenna added in excitement.
"Swanton Bomb! Swanton Bomb!" JR exclaimed as Jeff quickly went for the cover.
1...
2..
3!
The arena exploded as "No More Words" played throughout the arena, the screaming pop increasing in volume as Freya raised Jeff's hand in victory.
"Here are your winners, Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho and the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!" Lilian announced as Freya collected the Intercontinental Championship and handed it over to its current owner.
Freya watched as Jeff played up to the fans, before leaving the ring, high fiving the fans at ringside as he jogged up the ramp.
"Man... what a match!" Jenna said, whilst letting out a small sigh. "I'm tired out after all that!"
"The eyes of Texas and the world are on Jeff Hardy, and they will be as well in 13 days at No Way Out. Jeff Hardy's dream of headlining WrestleMania and becoming WWE Champion, the journey if you will, hasn't ended, it's just getting started!" JR said.
"What a victory! What a match!" King exclaimed.
While Jeff was celebrating with the fans on the stage, Freya walked up to where Jessie and Shawn was, staring down at the two from inside the ring.
"You okay Shawn?" Freya asked, getting a nod from the man that was sitting against the barricade walls.
Freya smirked at this. "Good... I want you two to do something for me."
Shawn and Jessie rose to their feet, staring up at Freya in confusion. Freya's smirk widened dangerously as she looked to the side.
Shawn and Jessie looked at where Freya was looking, mischievous smirks appearing on their faces at the sight of JBL leaning against the steel steps, trying to recover from the double knees he took to the face from Jericho.
"Uh-oh... I don't think it's over yet!" Jenna exclaimed, as she watched Jessie and Shawn advance towards the clueless Texas native.
Jessie launched at the self-proclaimed Wrestling God to ruckus cheers, raining down aggressive angry shots to the head of JBL while Shawn stomped away at the tall man.
"Jessie Lauren and Shawn Michaels are giving JBL a beating right in front of us, and this Austin crowd is loving it!" JR exclaimed as the fans cheered them on.
Jessie and Shawn threw JBL back into the ring where Freya was waiting.
"Well, I can't say that JBL doesn't deserve this. He had it coming," King said with a chuckle as he watched JBL stumble back onto his feet, completely unaware of Freya standing behind him with a vicious smirk on her face. "And look at the smirk on Freya's face!"
"Almost like a snarl on the face of Freya!" JR observed as the fans cheered restlessly, wanting to see Freya get her hands on JBL again.
"I wouldn't wanna be JBL right now, that's for sure," Jenna retorted.
"Ohhhh Bradshawww~" JBL's eyes widened in horror, before slowly turning around, stopping dead in his tracks when he saw the villainous smirk that was stretching across Freya's face as she leered at him.
JBL gulped and took a step back as he eyed the woman in fear, making Freya's smirk widen dangerously and take a step towards him.
"Oh boy..." King chuckled at the scene in front of him. "Freya's on the hunt. She's about to put a major hurting on JBL!"
JBL held his hands up with a nervous smile as Freya slowly sauntered towards him with a killer look in her eyes. "Now Freya... come on... y-you don't need to do this..."
Freya chuckled darkly at this. "Begging for your life, Bradshaw?"
"No! I mean yes! Yes!" JBL practically squealed making the commentators, Shawn, Jessie and a couple of the fans laugh.
"Does he seriously think that begging is going to stop Freya from beating the tar out of him after what he said earlier on?" Jenna questioned in amusement.
"I don't know but I think I just saw a yellow line going down JBL's leg," King chuckled, making the other two chuckle.
"You know what happens when you beg a queen for mercy?" Freya asked, making JBL stare at her in confusion and shake his head fearfully. Freya chuckled harshly.
"Nothing. You're gettin' no mercy from me!"
JBL gulped and took another step away from the woman. "Look... if this is about earlier than I'm sorry okay!"
"Too late for apologies, Bradshawww~" Freya drawled in a sing-song voice, her smirk widening even more with an almost evil look on her face.
"Hey cowboy!"
JBL instantly turned around into a double Sweet Chin Music courtesy of Jessie Lauren and Shawn Michaels, making the fans scream out in excitement.
"OH!" Jenna cried out.
"Sweet Chin Music! A double Sweet Chin Music!" JR exclaimed.
"Aw man, I felt that one!" King winced as JBL struggled to stay on his feet, turning around into the clutches of Freya. "Uh-oh!"
"Freya! Freya!" JR exclaimed as Freya kicked JBL hard in the gut, before setting up for the Pedigree, causing the fans to cheer in further excitement. The fans popped when Freya hit the Pedigree, planting JBL's face into the mat with excessive force. "Pedigree! Pedigree on JBL!"
"YES! Take that JBL!" Jenna cheered as Freya stood up onto her feet, glaring down at the unconscious form of JBL as "Time To Play The Game" played throughout the arena to a ruckus pop from the Austin crowd.
"Maybe now, you'll keep your mouth shut," Jessie retorted as she stood next to Freya, glaring down at JBL along with Shawn. The self proclaimed Wrestling God groaned pathetically in response, making the trio chuckle before leaving the ring.
"Hopefully JBL has learnt his lesson now," JR commented as Jessie, Freya and Shawn walked up the ramp, hyping up the fans as they made their way towards the stage.
"Yeah right..." Jenna muttered sarcastically, making King snigger at her response.
. . . .
"Well that was fun," Charlotte commented with a grin whilst making her way through the gorilla position, with Jessie and Shawn following behind her.
"Not for John," Shawn commented in amusement, making Jessie snigger.
"Nice job out there Charlotte!"
Charlotte looked to the side to see Christina sitting in between Dray and Shane McMahon, all three wearing smiles on their faces as the group walked past.
"Thanks Christy. Hey Shane!" Charlotte waved at the son of Vince McMahon, making him smirk in response.
"Hey! What about me Christy?!" Shawn said with a pout.
"Oh, you were god-like out there Shawn!"
Both Jessie and Charlotte struggled to hold back their sniggers at the beaming awestruck smile that stretched across Christy's face, as Shawn sent her a charming flirty smirk that made Dray frown, causing Shane to chuckle at the look on his face. It didn't matter how many times Christy helped Dray with something backstage, she'll always turn into a fangirl when being in the presence of her favorites.
"That's what I like to hear!"
"Stop flirting with my girlfriend Shawn!"
Charlotte chuckled at Dray's response, while Jessie rolled her eyes and grabbed Shawn by his ear, making him yelp in pain.
"Lets go pretty boy! Our bosses have work to do," Jessie said, walking off with a firm grip on Shawn's ears, ignoring his protest and smirking at Dray when he smiled gratefully at her.
Charlotte followed the trio, smirking as Jessie continued to drag Shawn towards the entrance of the gorilla that led to the backstage area. On there way out of the gorilla position, the trio ran into both Mark Henry and John Cena, who both looked on with weird looks at the sight of Jessie pulling Shawn along with her by his ear.
"... I don't even wanna know," Mark groaned with a shake of his head, before walking into the gorilla position. John meanwhile just smirked at the sight. "Christy?"
"Christy," Charlotte and Jessie confirmed, making John chuckle before walking further into the gorilla.
Jessie sighed before eventually letting go of Shawn's ear, something he was grateful for. "Seriously Shawn... What I'm I going to do with you."
A smirk appeared on the veteran's face at that. "What? I can't help that she's in love with me."
Jessie did not look amused. "You're a married man flirting with a taken woman!"
Charlotte laughed at this. "I find it ironic that you're telling him off after flirting with Randy earlier this morning!"
"You are not helping!" Jessie snapped whilst Shawn smirked at that bit of information.
"You were flirting with Randy? Ooh scandalous~"
"Knock that off!"
Charlotte chuckled at the antics of her best friends, not noticing the slightly muscular and lean man creeping up behind her until he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Charlotte looked back with a frown, about to threaten the man, only for her frown to be replaced by a beaming smile. "Dylan! You're back!"
Jessie and Shawn turned towards the two, just in time to see Charlotte plant a passionate kiss on a man, who had dark maroon eyes, short brown hair and was wearing WWE security uniform.
"Oh boy... lover boy's back..." Shawn commented with a smirk.
"Just great... now I have deal with a lovestruck Charlotte..." Jessie retorted as "The Time is Now" began playing in the background, being accompanied by a screaming pop.
Charlotte broke away from Dylan and looked back at Jessie with a teasing smirk. "You're just being snappy because Joey ain't here."
Charlotte chuckled when Jessie responded by flipping the bird at her, before looking up at her boyfriend with a charming smile whilst wrapping her arms around his waist. "I missed you ya know."
"I could tell," Dylan replied with a small smile.
"Well, looks like you found your queen, lover boy."
Dylan and Charlotte looked up to find Kerry and Randy Orton walking up to them with Orton eyeing them in amusement.
"Yep!" Dylan replied, exchanging a loving smile with Charlotte that made Kerry roll her eyes.
"Knock it off with the lovey-dovey crap will ya! I see enough of that with Paul and Stephanie!" the blonde haired woman retorted, walking into the gorilla.
"She won't be saying that in the future," Orton sniggered.
"I heard that!"
The group chuckled at Kerry's response, watching as she disappeared further into the gorilla position.
"You'd better catch up to her before she sees Shane. She always gets easily annoyed around him," Jessie commented in amusement.
At this Orton promptly jogged into the gorilla position, hoping to catch up to Kerry before anything happened between her and the Prodigal Son. A moment later Kerry and Orton ran out of the gorilla and right past them, getting amused looks from the group.
"Where are you guys going?!" Jessie called out.
"We have to go out through the crowd!" Kerry shouted back.
Charlotte watched as the two disappeared from view with a smirk on her face whilst locking her hands with Dylan's. "Who wants to bet Kerry gets hit with the FU."
Dylan chuckled. "I don't know... Orton deserves it more."
"Who knows... maybe Mark will be the one getting the FU tonight," Jessie said as they began walking. Shawn scoffed.
"Yeah right! Do you really think John's arm will be able to hold up that much weight?" he asked skeptically. "I don't know about you guys, but I don't believe that John is 100%."
"You're forgetting one thing Shawn," Jessie commented.
"Oh yeah? What's that?" Shawn questioned curiously.
"He's John Cena," the Nashville native said with a smirk, making Shawn groan.
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard..."
Dylan, Freya and Jessie simply laughed in response.
. . . .
Kerry stood beside the doors that led to the arena with an annoyed scowl, making Orton chuckle in amusement. "You really gotta stop letting Shane get to you so easily."
Kerry simply huffed in response. The two put on their heel faces when they were given the signal, pushing the double doors open and running out into the hyped up crowd, the fans nearby immediately going crazy as soon as they saw Orton and Kerry run past, heading towards the ring, eyes zeroed in on a clueless John Cena.
. . . .
"Look at this! We're back where we started!" JR exclaimed as the fans cheered Cena on. The Cenation Leader was off to a bad start at first, being easily overpowered by the World's Strongest Man's strength, but after awhile, Cena seemed to have caught his second wind, slowly pushing Mark's arm back to where they started; at the beginning.
"Cena's giving it everything he's got! He ain't out of it yet!" Jenna cheered as Cena slowly began to overpower the World's Strongest Man, slowly bringing the powerful man's knuckles down to the arm wrestling table.
"Look at this!" King cried in shock and awe as John continued to force Mark Henry's hand down with brute strength and willpower alone.
"John Cena is overpowering the World's Strongest Man!" JR exclaimed as the fans screamed out in support for the Cenation Leader. "Can Cena do it?!"
"Almost! Almost ther- Hey!" Jenna yelled out when Orton and Kerry suddenly ran past the announce table, with Orton sliding into the ring and pouncing on a unsuspecting John Cena with a clubbing shot to the back. "You've gotta be freakin' kiddin' me!"
"Oh no!" King cried out, the fans booing in anger as Orton brought Cena down to a knee, attacking him with pin point punches to the face whilst Kerry cheered him on with a sick smile on her face.
"It's Orton and Kerry!" JR exclaimed.
"Why I'm I not surprised!" Jenna growled.
The smile on Kerry's face suddenly dropped when Cena fought back with hard hitting fists to the face, before lifting Orton up onto his shoulders, much to her horror and the fans growing excitement.
"NO! NO, NO, NO!" Kerry screamed out in fear for the current WWE Champion.
"Uh-oh!" King cried out, only for Orton to wiggle out of Cena's grip and slither out of the ring before Cena could get his hands on him. "That was a close one!"
"Cena was about to hit the FU on Orton!" JR commented as Orton retreated up the stage with Kerry close behind.
"Hey look out!" Jenna cried out as Cena turned around, ducking as Mark Henry took a swing at him and then to the shock of everyone, powered the World's Strongest Man up onto his shoulders! "WHOA! WHOA!"
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!" JR exclaimed as the fans got hyped at the sight, completely losing it.
"Look out!" King cried out as Cena hit the FU on Mark Henry to a rousing reaction, slamming the big man back first into the mat with empathic force.
"The FU! What power! Good lord almighty!" JR cried out as Cena hyped up the Texas fans with a loud passionate roar, glaring viciously at Orton and Kerry, who were both backing up the ramp with shocked wide eyed looks on their faces at what they just saw.
"What do you think of me now!" Cena yelled, glaring at Orton and Kerry's retreating forms.
"John Cena just FU'ed Mark Henry!" King exclaimed in shock as "The Time is Now" played through the loudspeaker, getting an even louder reaction from the fans.
"I-I'm still in shock... holy crap!" Jenna stuttered as Cena threw up his Word Life hand taunt in the air, before hyping up the crowd.
"John Cena just lifted 400 plus pounds up and delivered an FU!" JR cried out as Cena glared at Orton and Kerry who were standing on the stage, still staring at the man in shock.
"That was absolutely amazing! And Orton looks pretty amazed as well!" King cried out, noticing the wide eyed look on the WWE Champion's face.
"Kerry looks horrified! Neither of them can believe what they just saw!" Jenna noted in amusement at the wide eyed almost fearful expression on Kerry's face as Cena pointed at Orton saying; "YOU AND ME!"
"Take a good look!" Cena yelled, before smirking at the gobsmacked expression on Orton and Kerry's faces. "I've got you champ!"
"Well tonight there was No Way Out for Mark Henry! And in 13 days there maybe No Way Out for the WWE Champion!" JR said.
Monday Night Raw ended with John Cena rolling his left arm in a circle, showing no signs of pain whilst smirking at a shocked Kerry and a seething Randy Orton.
'Goodbye and Goodnight!'
