Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan, and Liv Morgan were deeply troubled by the loss taken after Sarah was pinned by Ember Moon. It wasn't the first time the Riott Squad has taken a loss but for reasons that neither woman could put their fingers on, this one bothered them at such an intense degree.
The three women just looked at each other, shaking their heads. Their expressions of defeat profoundly affected each other. Neither woman found themselves able to unsee the expressions of their other two friends from their heads.
However, their expressions told different stories. Sarah had a hint of anger in her eyes, probably from the frustration that she was pinned yet again for reasons she didn't want to know. Liv looked to be on the verge of tears as she watched Ember, Sasha Banks, and Bayley walk away, smiling to each other. Ruby on the other hand watch the three girls with profound pain her eyes before turning to the other two.
Ruby scooted away from the other two a bit then gave them a long stare, feeling beyond overwhelmed. She began to have questions ringing in her head. They were questions related to her current stable mates that the author is currently too lazy to write down so think of them yourself.
Anyway, Ruby was trying to process the loss in her head, refusing to say a word. Liv and Sarah turned back to their friend, noticing the agony in her expression. It seemed to them that she was more troubled by the loss than thought.
Ruby stood up then closed her eyes for a moment, trying to gather her thoughts together. The one question rang in her head more prominently than other questions.
Am I ready to go on with this?
She took a deep breath then opened her eyes to find herself in an entirely new perspective, a new side of her, a new path for her. She was ready. No one could tell her any different and she was going to go on with it. She ached for it for a while, but now, this was it. She was finally going to carry out with her own mission.
Without a moment of hesitation, she punched Sarah square in the chest. Audible gasps could be heard from the audience before the cheers took over. Ruby began furiously punching Sarah, Sarah having no chance to attempt to counter.
Ruby had enough. She was officially tired of being dragged down by two other women who she once called friends. She missed going solo and if that was what was going to get her anywhere in the division, she would gladly take it. To her, it felt more than satisfying. It felt freeing.
After delivering a Riot Kick to Sarah, Ruby turned to Liv Morgan, who looked horrorstruck. Ruby felt a pang of pity for Liv, but she was going to keep to her own plan. Going solo was going to be the right decision for her and she refused to go against her will.
Ruby began to punch Liv several times, Liv also having no chance of attempting to counter. Ruby was too powerful, and she made no attempts to hide it.
Like with Sarah earlier, Ruby delivered a Riot Kick to Liv. Liv was out while Ruby looked on with a blank expression on her face.
Ruby remained completely silent and didn't even dare to speak. She just looked down at the stunned Sarah and Liv. The raven-haired woman knew at this point that she made the right choice. She didn't need Sarah and Liv. She didn't need to be aided by anyone but herself.
Ruby Riott was ready to start her own riot and no one could tell her otherwise.
