Title: Silence

Rating: PG to be on the safe side

Warnings: Wrestling violence

Warnings: In a blink of an eye Dean Ambrose's life changes forever.

Time frame: This fic starts the night Evolution reunites and is a complete AU.

Disclaimer: I claim no one in this fic that you would recognize.

Dean opened his eyes and saw that Randy Orton, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and Dave Batista, collectively known as Evolution, were leaving the ring. He had to get up. He had been no help to his brothers tonight after getting kicked by Alberto Del Rio right before Evolution came out. He had taken a RKO/Batista bomb and pulled into the ring corner.

He got up on shaky legs and saw that Roman Reigns was sprawled out in the middle of the ring, and Seth was at the very end of the ring not moving. He saw Evolution was starting to head for the ramp. With shaky legs, he ran back, bounced off the ropes, and flew through the ropes with a tope suicida onto the unsuspecting Orton and Batista.

They all crashed to the mat.

"Looks like we have a dog that doesn't know when to stay down." Hunter said as he went over to Dean and grabbed him by his hair.

Dean got up and took a wild swing at the leader of Evolution. He was hurting but he wasn't going to show it. He wasn't going to be known as the weakest link of the Shield. He didn't see Orton reaching into the crowd to get a chair.

Dean kicked Hunter away and turned when he heard a fan yelling "Dean look out."

He saw Orton and a fan struggling over a chair. Dean was shocked by the sight and went over to grab the chair. The fan let go causing Orton to swing the chair like an axe. It hit Dean in the throat at a sideways angle. Dean fell to the ground clutching his throat.

The fan who had let go was being pulled away by a security guard but his eyes never left the chair that Orton still held in his hand.

"I didn't mean to!" the fan kept saying over and over again.

Evolution made a hasty retreat knowing the damage was done. The ringside doctor ran over to Dean who had a firm hand over his throat struggling to breathe.

Seth got to his feet and went over to check Roman who was starting to stir. "You okay?" Seth asked as he helped him back to his feet.

"Fine," Roman groused as he got to his feet. "Where's Dean?" he asked looking around. Last, he had seen Dean, he was laying against the bottom rope unconscious.

"I don't know," Seth said going to the edge of the ring and looking down. "Dean!" he yelled seeing that the Ohioan was lying on the floor.

He stepped through the ropes and hurried over to Dean with Roman following right behind.

"Is he okay?" Seth asked not liking seeing Dean clutching at his throat.

"He took a chair shot to the throat." Amman said. "I've already called for a stretcher and oxygen."

"I'm going to kill Evolution," Roman said as he got to his feet. He started to head for the back-leaving Dean and Seth at ringside.

DDD

Notes: I just can't resist starting another Evolution/Shield fic. Sorry guys.
