Title: The Fight Continues
Author: Dana
Rating: PG
Warnings: Violence. It's a wrestling story
Summary Shield a brotherhood. Evolution was not. What Evolution had that Shield didn't, was years of experience. No one can out plan Triple H.
Author's note: Starts out June 2nd and is completely AU. Yeah I know consider this a less violent (?) version of Cracks in the Shield.
Second author's note: I'm so proud of Dean Ambrose for finally winning the title. If you are a fan like me who never gave up on voicing your desire to have Ambrose be champion instead of everyone after Daniel Bryan, this title reign is for you. After all, the dude said so. May the reign be long and full of fun. We deserve it.
Disclaimer: I don't own anyone you recognize.
Seth Rollins was fidgety as he, Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns stood backstage. Dean was the one who couldn't stand still but something was irking him about tonight. The Shield had defeated Evolution soundly the night before in Chicago. Sure they barely survived their health. Roman's ribs took a beating and Dean nearly suffered a concussion thanks to the sledgehammer blow that knocked him silly.
"Would you relax," Dean said looking up from his cellphone. "I'm supposed to be the unstable one."
"Yeah," Roman said with a slow grin. "I'm facing Randy Orton tonight and Batista's gone. We can handle Triple H and Orton no problem."
"Shield you're on," one of the security guards who were standing with them said.
Dean flashed one of the fans a wink before heading down the stairs with Roman and Seth right behind him. The fans were going crazy as they entered the ring. The Shield stood there and talked about how they were a brotherhood and how Evolution was just a group of men who were not close at all.
Triple H accompanied Randy Orton to the ring. Seth wasn't sure why but he felt apprehensive and grabbed him and Dean a chair. He handed one to Dean. He tried to hand Roman his but the larger man just shook his head. He didn't want to fight with chairs yet.
"There's always a plan b," Triple H said with a grin.
Dean and Roman exchanged looks and stepped forward. Seth was about to follow them when someone clobbered him from behind. He dropped the steel chair as he fell to the mat.
Dean spun around to see what was happening but Orton grabbed his foot and yanked him out of the ring leaving Roman standing there to face Seth's attacker. Triple H had already pulled Seth out of the ring from the other side.
The fans were booing like crazy.
"I thought he left!" Michael Cole yelled from the announce table. "He quit didn't he?"
The Bootista chants grew louder as Roman and Batista started brawling in the middle of the ring.
Dean jumped on top of Orton and they started slugging it out. Orton, being heavier than Dean, was able to toss him off and Dean rolled into the barricade on the outside.
"You know what the voices in my head are saying," Orton said leering down at Dean who was starting to scramble back to his feet. "They're saying it's the end of the Shield."
He hit a modified RKO so that Dean's head crashed into the steel steps. Dean lay there unmoving.
Randy got into the ring to help Batista with Roman. On the outside of the ring, Triple H had just hit a pedigree on the announce table leaving Seth unmoving at JBL's feet. He joined his other two team mates in the middle of the ring. Roman looked around for his brothers but couldn't find them.
Batista picked up Roman and hit him with a power bomb. They stood in the middle of the ring over Roman's unmoving body.
Triple H grabbed the ref and made him count the pin fall.
The Shield may have won last night, but Evolution was determined to win this war.
