Until the End || Randy Orton

"Dad look, isn't it beautiful." I said showing him my title. "It is, but it isn't as beautiful as my wwf title with rattlesnake skin on it." He chuckled. I shook my head and sat my title next to me. "You still have the wrestling ring inside the gym, right?" I asked. "Well you told me not to get rid of it right?" He sarcastically said. "So I'm taking that as a yes." I laughed. I got up and started walking towards the the hall. "Come on, I wanna train for smack down." I motioned towards Dean. He got up and walked towards me. "I wanna see this." My dad said getting up. "Oh, yeah dad you can like coach me or something." I said.

Dean and I got into the ring and squared off. Dean tried to take the first punch but I blocked him. "Good" my dad said. I punched him and watched him stumble back into the turnbuckle. I walked back over to him and started to repeatedly punch him. I got some feedback from my dad on my form and to punch harder. I did as he said and said the refs counts in my head. Dean got up and pushed me into the ropes. He started to punch me lightly. We spun around trying to push one another into the ropes, I eventually got him and power slammed him onto the mat. I went for the cover and he kicked out.

I pushed him up and drove him into the top turnbuckle and repeatedly pushed his head into it. I pushed him into the other one then he sluggishly walked back and I hit him with a clothesline. I went for the cover and I got the "win". Dean got back up and gave me a surprised look. "What?" I asked. "The divas got to go through that?" He said out of breath. "Sometimes, it depends on who it is." I shrugged him off. I got out of the ring and gave my dad a double high five. "Did you take notes from my tag match when I went against Angle?" He asked. "I didn't even think of it like that, I guess it just runs through my blood." I smiled. "Well now I see how you got that title." He nudged my arm.

"Dad?" I turned back towards him. "Would you ever want to wrestle one last time?" I asked "I've been thinking about it recently. If i did it would probably be at Wrestlemania. I don't know who they would put me against." He stated. "Maybe it could be you and me. Rattlesnake vs Rattlesnake." He shook his head at my response. "Come on dad, it would be huge. It would do great for my career, even if I lost." I started to think about the storyline that I'm planning now. My dad could fit into it in someway. "Jaylen, I don't even know if I'm cleared to. Trust me I would love to have another match, I would love to have a match with you, on my side or not, but I don't know if I can or if the bosses would let me." He started to pace around the room. "I have a storyline planned. I have to bring it up to Hunter and Stephanie but I'm pretty sure they would like it, and if I could put you into it. Wrestling or not. it would be huge. It would be best for business." He sighed and walked up to me. "I'll think about it. I'll ask my doctor if I can wrestle one last time and see what I can do." I smiled, and hugged him. "Thank you."

We were all sitting in the living room watching Raw from yesterday. I told my dad not to watch it so I could be with him and see his reaction in person. He didn't know about the last part of course. My mom really seemed to be getting into the match. Whenever it looked like Nikki hurt me too bad she would start yelling at the TV. It was very amusing to watch.

My match came to an end and my mom started to cry when finished my speech. She got up and gave me a hug. I felt myself start to tear up so I pulled away and wiped my tears. "I'm so proud of you." I looked at her and I could tell she meant it. The tears started falling down more and more and I couldn't stop it. This moment felt so surreal. I looked at my dad and he was just staring blankly at the TV. "Dad?" My voice sounded concerned and terrified at the same time. He blinked hard before looking at me. That's when I knew. He was holding back tears. He was proud of me. I've never seen my dad cry before and this was a special moment for us. He motioned for me to sit down. I walked back over to couch and sat down. "Listen, I'm proud of you, Jaylen. You better take care of that title. It won't be there forever. Make this run a memorable one. You deserve it." He patted my shoulder and blinked hard again. "Dad, it's okay to cry, I mean look at mom she's crying so much, you would think that I died or something." I chuckled. He nodded and huffed. Dean was just sitting there smiling at everything that just happened. I walked over to him and gave him a huge hug. "I couldn't have done it without my best friend." I said as I pulled away.
