Finally

Filming overseas could be tiresome. Dwayne thought about how many times has he flown to the United Kingdom and back in the past couple of months... It got tiresome, Dwayne had to admit. Doing movies was great, but Dwayne's old love seemed to continue knocking on his door. The lights, the pyrotechnics, the screaming of the fans, being on the road... There was some charm on that. The cold breeze entering through the window of his room, hitting against his forehead, where beads of sweat rolled down as if there was no tomorrow... Dehydration? AM Cardio was more like it. Dwayne's huge hands wrapped tightly around the Elliptical's handles, his brahma bull tattoo coated in a layer of sweat... A gray wifebeater which was more charcoal colored due to the amount of sweat on it and black shorts, with white spotless nike running shoes, that was Dwayne's armour of choice for the morning work out.

"Life is what happens what you're busy making other plans"

There couldn't be a more truthful statement... Two weeks ago Dwayne didn't know when was he going to return to the rings. Despite having a white contract and a blank check at the big ol' W, Dwayne wanted more... Dwayne wanted something different. Sadly, that opportunity came in the form of tragedy and despair... To that day he still remembered the call.

"Dwayne? I know you aren't taking any bookings... Yes... Yes... I know I should be dealing with your agent but this is a very delicate situation... Where did I get your personal number? Chris Jericho gave it to me."

The EBWF HQ shooting had been all over the dirt sheets, the news and pretty much media worldwide. An official version however, wasn't available and rumours ran wild, so wild that people thought Wes Ikeda was dead.

"Mr. Ikeda's condition is... Well, reserved. He is barely alive and he was scheduled to compete this Sunday. The EBWF board of directors is reluctant on pulling the plug, they want the show to go on... It's what Wes would've wanted."

That was how he sealed his destiny and the next stop of his life tour, with a mere phone call from a guy he has never heard about. Dwayne gave the EBWF his word and his helping hand in a time of need, unlike any other negotiations he has had in all his life there were no terms being discussed, no salary, no contract length, no expiration date, the circumstances made it irrelevant.

Fast forward a couple of weeks and here he was, his apartment in Miami, he was getting ready for his next match. After giving the EBWF Universe a good show at Fanniversary, after being speared by Edge... The world of sports entertainment and Hollywood were left wondering "What's next for Dwayne Johnson?" will the Rock be back full time on EBWF? Wasn't he supposed to return to WWE?
Truth be told, not even Dwayne knew what was coming up next... When the news about his next match were revealed, he was as suprised as the rest of the world when he read who his next opponent would be.

John Cena.

John Cena and The Rock. The Rock and John Cena. Any "What would your dream card for a Wrestling show be?" would most likely include a match between them. EBWF had made it real... At Warfare, on Green Bay Wisconsin it will be The Rock versus John Cena, for the first time ever.

John Cena and Dwayne Johnson would always stir up the Debate of "Who was greater?", but given the circumstances of the current match a better title for the debate could be "Should this match be taking place?"

Dwayne had read about John in newspapers, dirt sheets and whatnot... He crashed his car and was being accused of doing several things... Battery, assault, attempted murder... John Cena was on a cruzade to clean his name, to demonstrate that whatever happened to him during late 2011 and most of 2012 could be easily forgotten.

Dwayne hadn't had a match in ages, his ring rust was a tad evident when he got into the ring with Alex Shelley at Fanniversary, without botching a la Sin Cara, fans did notice the Rock needed to polish his mat work before even thinking of a lengthy run as an EBWF superstar.


The beeping of the machine, signalling the end of his cardio workout time for the day made Dwayne snap out of it. Dwayne ran a white towel over his drenched face before stepping down from the elliptical machine... He cocked his head towards his bed table, the clock signalled 8AM... Dway... The Rock was just in time to catch his plane.

The scene opened up in the backstage area of the Resch center where Warfare was taking place. Matt Stryker was wearing a black vest with a shirt and a black tie, black pants and a microphone on his hand... The camera panned out slowly to show The Rock was standing next to him, the crowd roared in approval for the great one, who was wearing his brand new SOLDIER T-shirt and black sunglasses.

Matt looked uneasy as the Rock just stared away... He slowly handed him the microphone.

The Rock: Now you might be smarter than you look! What is your name?

Matt Stryker shrugged.

The Rock: Atta boy!!!!! Check this out! Don't tell me you know the answer to the question The Rock just asked you!

He nodded.

The Rock: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!!!! The only thing that matters is that FINALLY! THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!

The crowd chanted along with Rocky.

The Rock: Tonight, you silent man, live in that very ring it will be The Chain Gang commander, the leader of the Cenation! Rise above Hate! Never Give Up! JOHN CENA!!!!

The crowd cheered for Cena, after his apparent change of heart last week.

The Rock: Against the most electrifying man in all sports entertainment! The Samoan Soldier! The man who pushes the pace day by day! The Great one! The ROCK!!!!!

The Crowd cheered again.

The Rock: But let's just close the catchphrase coffin' for a moment... John Cena! The Rock has got a lot of respect for you! You have done things that are living, breathing proof that you care about this business, that you care about the Rock millions...

The Millions and millions of Rocks fans chanted along.

The Rock: ...And millions of Rock fans all over the World! The Rock thanks you for that! The Rock just wants to say it will be an honor to be in that ring with you tonight! Eventhough the Rock just recently returned to the ring... There isn't a shadow of a doubt that the fact I am facing someone like JOHN CENA fires me up!

The Rock smiled.

The Rock: And when the Rockis fired up you know what that means! Oh yes Cena... The Rock has seen your deadly combination of the back drop, the five knuckle shuffle and The Attitude Adjustment, but the Rock has some pretty... ELECTRIFYING combinations of his own! And The Rock isn't talking about his Eyebrow raising skills, singing or guitar playing skills! The Rock isn't even talking about his big arms! The Rock is talking about a spine buster and the people's elbow 1...2...3!

The Rock shrugged.

The Rock: I understand you haven't been wrestling much as of late, and I couldn't blame you. I bet it is hard to find any decent competition? After all you are a living legend John. That is one of the things that fires me up the most. Tonight... At Warfare... In that very ring... You... John Cena... Will have to go ONE ON ONE WITH THE GREAT ONE... And you will finally, FINALLY, FINALLY have met your match...

IF YOU SMEEEEEEEEEELALALALALALALALALALALALLALALALAA

WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN!

The Rock cocked an eyebrow and the scene faded to black.
