Most 24/7 champions either ran or hid from challengers, but Jasper was not like most 24/7 champions. She was just walking though backstage out in the open, with a look that says 'Try to come at me and take my title, I dare you'.

Some dared... and paid for it.

So far she took down Akira and his army of ninjas, tossed Lucha House Party into a dumpster, beat up three bikers, and sent several staff members to the hospital.

She sneered as she was stopped by three men, at the front was Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP), followed by his clients Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin. Together they made up the Hurt Business. "Well, well. If it ain't the 24/7 champion, Jasper. I've seen you've been busy."

"What do you clowns want?" Jasper demanded.

Before Bobby can attack her, MVP stopped him "Hold it Bob, now Jasper. I'm sure we can work this out like adults, from one champion to another." MVP gestured to his redesign of the US title.

"I don't associate with people who play make believe." Jasper growled at MVP's audacity to call himself champion, after all he beat Heath Slater in a non title match then had Bobby Lashley attack him so he couldn't make it to Extreme Rules to defend his championship. And if there's one thing that she hates more than people, its pretenders.

MVP's eyes twitched a little the words 'make believe' when it comes to how he holds a US title belt. "As I was saying, you have a passion for hurting people. We have a passion for hurting people, I think you would fit right at home if you sign with me. After all, I took this man," he patted Bobby on the shoulder "from a floundering love triangle to a WWE championship match!"

"Didn't he lose that match?" Jasper raised an eyebrow.

"Point is," MVP replied as Bobby fumed at that lost he took to KO, "I get to the top, and I can do the same to you. With the four of us together, we could be unstoppable. So what do you say, you in?" he asked with a hand out for a shake.

Jasper looked down at the hand, contemplating what he's offering. His services as her manager, in exchange for hurting people. Tempting.

She shrugged before shaking his hand.

MVP smirked, "I knew you would make the right choice, unlike those losers Heat Slater, Apollo Crews, and Cedrick Alexander. Now Bobby has a match tonight and we better go-" just as he and the guys were about to leave, he was pulled back. He saw Jasper hadn't let go of his hand, "Uh, this is usually the part where you let go so we can-"

Just then he felt her hand starting to squeeze his, "Wow that is a firm grip, I think you give Bobby's a run for- okay that's getting too tight- GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! OW OW OW OW OW OW OW YOU'RE CRUSHING MY HAND!" Jasper kept squeezing until MVP felt a bone crack in his hand, she then reared back headbutted MVP down to the ground.

"What the heck was that-" Bobby exclaimed before he was caught by the throat by Jasper, Shelton attempted a superkick to Jasper's face. He then cried and hopped around on one foot, leaving Jasper to chokeslam Bobby Lashley through a nearby table. She then gave a hard right that knocked out Shelton, before turning to Montel who was nursing his hand.

"Let me make sure this gets through your thick head Porter, I work. Alone! I'm not a team player, especially not for a team led by a 40-something year old narcissist with severe rejection issues going through a midlife crisis." she told squarely and surely to MVP, "Be sure to bring you're man servants next week, I'll be waiting in the ring." laid out the challenge before walking away, leaving MVP in stunned silence.

Title changes: none.

Next week: Jasper vs Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin in a 2 on 1 handicap match.
