Rumors (A PunkLee Story) ~Edited~

Chapter 25

AJ'S POV
Once their music finally hit, it shocked me, because it was someone I wasn't expecting.

Look in my eyes, what do you see?
The cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I'm everything you wanna be
I'm the cult of personality

He walked out, and looked at the crowd, then smiled slightly.

He got down on one knee and yelled. "IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!"

The crowd cheered him on, and chanted his name.

"Introducing the opponent, from Chicago, Illinois. Weighing in at 218 pounds. He is the WWE champion, CM Punk." The announcer said.

He walked down the ramp, with his belt wrapped around his waist.

He glanced at Daniel, then looked at me, he was confused but didn't show it.

He gave his belt to the referee. And the referee put it to the side.

Daniel came close to me and whispered in my ear. "I'll tell you if I need you, AJ."

I nodded, then got out of the ring.

Daniel and him stared each other down, and the referee got in the middle of them, because the match hasn't started yet.

The match finally started, Daniel getting the upper hand.

Punk was on the ground. Daniel went to the top ropes and jumped off, but Punk got out of the way before he landed on him.

"Ooh, that sounded like a hard landing." Michael Cole said.

I was gonna interfere, but then I realized if I did, I wouldn't know who to defend, because I was friends with both.

Daniel probably knew I was thinking of interfering because he shook his head at me.

But while Daniel was telling me not to, he didn't realize he was distracted, but Punk did, so once Daniel turned back around, Punk hit him and knocked him down.

He was gonna go for the GTS, the crowd getting pumped, a mixture of cheers and boos.

"I bet CM Punk will win this one." Michael said.

"What are you talking about? Daniel is obviously the one who's gonna take the win, this is just a minor setback." JBL said.

He hit the GTS and Daniel hit the floor, I could tell Daniel needed some help, he did the secret signal and confirmed that he needed my help.

But I froze for a second, my question from earlier coming back to mind.

Who should I help? Will they get mad or upset?

But then I was brought out of my thoughts by the referee counting.

Punk had gone for the pin.

"1..." The referee counted.

And then I remembered I promised Daniel I'd help him and that he did the signal earlier, so my decision was decided.

I just hope Punk understands.

I quickly got in the ring. Punk glanced at me, but stayed pinning Daniel.

"2..." The referee counted.

But then before I could help Daniel, he kicked out.

Punk looked slightly shocked. Daniel kicking him in the legs, causing him to fall.

He went for the yes lock. Punk was struggling, but held up for a bit. I noticed he was about to tap out, but then Daniel got frustrated and let go.

Punk used this to his advantage and went behind him and suplexed him. He was gonna go for the pin but I distracted him.

"Punk!" I yelled.

He turned to me, confused.

I walked up to him. I stared into his eyes, we were standing there in silence until he broke the silence and said. "What is it, AJ?"

"I'm sorry." I said, because I knew I was helping a friend, but I was also giving another friend a lost match, so I felt guilty.

He looked at me slightly confused, but while Punk was distracted Daniel did a roll up pin on him.

"1..."

"2..."

"3..." The referee counted.

The crowd was in shock, there was a mixture of reactions.

Daniel got up, the referee holding up Daniel's arm in victory.

Daniel started doing his yes chants, the crowd joining in again.

But while he was celebrating, Punk looked shocked.

Punk looked up at Daniel, and then looked at me, sadness filling his eyes, and guilt filling mine.

He shook his head and got up. Then he left the ring, I was gonna go and follow him but Daniel wrapped his arms around my waist, which caused me to stop.

I looked up at him confused.

"I'm sorry but go with it, it's for storyline purposes." He whispered in my ear, then he leaned in and kissed me.
