Title: Breaking the Brotherhood
Author: Dana
Rating: PG at the moment. Not sure how far this fic will go or what will be shown yet.
Warnings: Violence
Summary: He knew he would never say yes but that was never the plan. He knew exactly how to destroy a brotherhood. *Companion fic to my story Believe in Evolution. That fic is a must read*

He sat in his office reviewing the tapes looking for some kind of weakness. There had to be one. No group was without one. DX had one, and his name was X-Pac. X-Pac may be one of his best friends, but he was still the weak link. If Evolution was going to be successful, they had to get rid of the competition.
He watched their match from Main Event where they wrestled the Wyatt Family. He watched as two of them helped the other up and showed concern when he complained about his ribs. He smirked thinking that Monday probably hadn't helped. They were always a united force, but what would happen if he started pulling them apart? Could they really handle being apart?
CM Punk had the right idea by making them fight inwardly to prove who was the strongest but it never worked. They always got right back together. All brothers fought. His three daughters fought a lot too. He knew that his wife and her brother argued but no longer about the business as his brother-in-law left wrestling behind back in 2009.
He tapped his hand on the desk as he thought about each member.
Seth Rollins was the brains of the group. He was always planning something. If you removed him, the other two might still stick together. He didn't want Rollins he had too big of an ego and most likely wouldn't follow orders. He didn't think taking him out either would really do anything.
Roman Reigns was the brawn of the group. He was very protective of the other two. He was Rock's cousin and had a lot of his cousin's attitude. Not the best wrestler. Not what he was looking for to break the Shield apart. Roman would just probably punch one of the other two.
The last member was Dean Ambrose. He was everything the nickname Lunatic Fringe implied. He was a hot head and was constantly fighting with the other two. When Paul Heyman had brought them in from NXT to protect his client CM Punk's title reign, Dean had been the pseudo leader. It was hard to tell who was the actual leader of the Shield.
He thought about an interview he once heard Roman Reigns do for the lead up to WrestleMania this year.
He is the cornerstone of the Shield. Without Dean Ambrose there is no Shield.
Maybe that was who he should focus on. Dean would never say yes. There was no question about that. He was like a dog. Too loyal for his own good but he was vulnerable. He just needed to start putting pressure on Ambrose and watch as the Shield cracked away into nothing.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley grabbed his phone. He looked up a number and said, "I need your help on Monday."
It was time to play the game.
DDD
Notes: I actually like X-Pac a lot. It was almost a tossup between him and Billy Gunn on who to pick as the weak link of DX. I went for the thinner one. If I continue this, next chapter will be the fall out of RAW where the Wyatts attack Dean backstage and the six-man tag match that ends with an offer backstage.
