Chapter 18) SummerSlam Victory

We finally made our way to the gym and I worked out with Jon and Joe for a few hours while Katherine was at work. I watched as Joe lifted the weights and Jon was doing the simple workouts as usual.

After we finished with the gym a few hours later, we all drove back to the hotel and checked in. I decided on taking a shower; and then I insisted on cooking myself some dinner and wanted to call for Jon and Joe to come over.

I was about to soon be winning the United States championship while I'm the WWE World Heavyweight champion. Hard to believe, but I'll be the first superstar to ever hold both the WWE and the United States championship at the same time.

While I prepared dinner, I heard a couple of knocks on the door and heard Jon humming to himself with Joe alongside him.

"Took you long enough." Jon said.

"That smells good, Colby." Joe smiled. "What are you cooking tonight?"

"The usual."

We all sat down and started to eat the dinner that I cooked. While Joe and Jon were always like brothers to me, they were also my best friends. They've always had my back ever since we first met back in FCW.

While Jon and I always strived to be wrestlers, Joe always wanted to join the NFL; but sadly they didn't draft him, and his second passion was wrestling due to his Samoan Dynasty. Joe then decided on pursuing his career in FCW along with Jon and I and that's how all of us met was through wrestling.

I've known these boys forever and they understood how much I loved Katherine. From the moment I laid eyes on her, I've fallen head over heels for her and they both knew that right from the beginning.

When we all finished dinner, we all went to our separate rooms throughout the hotel and we had a show to prepare for tomorrow. I was already about to become a dual champion all in one night and I couldn't be anymore proud of myself than I already am.

Lying down in my bed, I looked up at the ceiling and was a very deep thought about Katherine and I's relationship together. My biggest fear is the thought of losing her to either someone else or having her lose feelings for someone like me because of my working lifestyle. Being a wrestler isn't all it's made out to be and I'm thankful that she's understanding about my job in the WWE.

The Next Day

I rolled over in my sleep and realized that I was drooling; which grossed me out, when I felt my shoulder being shoved violently by Joe with Jon standing next to him.

"We gotta go, Colby."

"Go where?" I said, forgetting that we had to workout before the show tonight.

"The gym." Joe said, sternly. "We're almost late and after that, we have to head to the arena for SummerSlam tonight."

"I'm sorry man. I fell asleep thinking about Katherine and I's future together and I ended up falling into a deep sleep." I apologized.

"It's fine."

"Lover-boy." Jon said.

"Don't call me that, Jon."

"Man, you're no fun sometimes. I'm just kidding around with you."

"I know, I know. I'm just nervous as well about me holding two titles around my shoulders starting tonight."

"Look man, you'll do great out there. I've never seen you so nervous before. Is everything alright?" Joe asked, concerned.

"I'm going to be the first superstar to ever hold both the United States championship and the WWE World Heavyweight championship at the same time. I'm pretty much making history out there."

"And for that, we're proud of you, Colby."

We got into the car and drove off to the nearest gym while we kept holding our conversation during the trip.

"Thanks." I sat down in the seat and tried getting comfortable.

"It's not a problem but tell me something." Joe said.

"Anything."

"What made you think about your future with Katherine last night? Only because you mentioned it to us this morning before we went to the gym."

"I don't know, man."

Joe looked at me with a smirk on his face.

"Is it a good thing, or a bad thing?"

"It's obviously good."

"Bro, he's been in love with her ever since he first met her backstage." Jon said.

"I know that. I'm just asking about your thoughts when it comes to your girlfriend last night, if you don't mind me asking, that is?" Joe asked.

"It's nothing too serious, but I'm just thinking about later on in the future if she'll ever want to-" I paused. "I don't know; start a family, get married in a year or two."

"Aww, aren't you a romantic?" Jon said, teasing me.

I looked down at the floorboard and felt my face becoming hot.

"Shut up." I said, embarrassed.

"Lay off him, Jon."

"Fine. How much longer are we to the gym?"

"About a few minutes away."

I remained silent and stared out the window at the road and everything around it until we made our way to the gym. When we made it inside, we started our workouts. I pulled out my phone and put my headphones on and began listening to Parkway Drive while lifting some weights and doing the usual CrossFit workouts until it was two-hours prior to the show tonight.

SummerSlam

I began to prepare for my match against John Cena in a winner-take-all match. Even though I was winning the title tonight, I had to be cautious of John's post-surgery with his broken nose that I accidentally caused a few weeks ago. I stood by the gorilla and quickly gave Katherine a call before my match was about to start.

"Hello?"

"Hey babe. Are you watching SummerSlam right now?"

"Of course I am, and so is Brianna."

"Hi, Colby!" Brianna shouted near the phone.

I laughed and started to clear my throat, trying to get serious about my match.

"Tonight's the night where I'm finally winning both the United States championship and the WWE World Heavyweight championship. Wish me luck, babe." I said.

"Good luck, I'll be watching your match."

I had to quickly hang up the phone after telling Katherine that I loved her since someone told me that my match was about to begin in a few seconds. Deep down, I was trembling and feeling uneasy about winning tonight. I understood that I was a heel in the business and people were going to boo me even though I'm about to make history here tonight.

"Colby, you're up!" The producer said.

I nodded and walked down the ramp while hearing my theme song playing. I was in my newest attire that happened to be the white and gold attire that was inspired by the White Ranger. The arena erupted in a mixture between cheers and boos and I kept my focus on the match with John instead.

Before the match started, the crowd was beginning to chant as loudly as they possibly could.

"Let's go, Cena! Cena sucks!"

During our match, I started doing high-flying moves and a few Suicide Dives and dove off from the top rope onto John. He tried to grab my leg and injure my knee, but that didn't work. John was protecting his nose as much as possible and kept trying to bring me down and prepared for the Attitude Adjustment.

I picked him up and threw him onto the top rope, and then performed a Frog-Splash onto him. Surprising enough, he picked me up and threw me onto the ground and then went onto the top rope and hit me with a Cross-Body. The crowd was electric and was enjoying the match John and I were having.

Later, Cena started to panic and I ran towards him and hit his nose with the knee to make the crowd hate me more. For some reason, Jon Stewart came out with a steel chair and tried to hit me with the chair, then turned his back to John and hit him in the stomach. I wasn't aware of him coming out to help me but I quickly went in for my Pedigree finisher and got the pinfall.

I held both of the titles in my hands and I was enthusiastic about winning. As a man who made history tonight, I couldn't believe that my bosses chose me out of everyone else to hold both titles at once.

"I did it, baby!" I said, speaking directly to Katherine through the camera before I walked backstage.
