Author's note: I wasn't sure where to start this but thank to RAW tonight, I'm going with the night after Royal Rumble.

Disclaimer: I own no one you recognize.

Roman Reigns pulled his hair back into a pony tail as he got ready for RAW on January 25th in Miami Florida. He was excited about the show after winning the Royal Rumble. He had a lot of doubts after having to fight 29 other wrestlers including his brother in arms Dean Ambrose. They were the last two in the end and had shaken hands backstage.

"Hey Uce," his cousin, Jey Uso, called as he walked into the locker room. "You hear about the League of Nations?"

"What about them," he asked as he poured water over his hair. It was a habit he carried over from his Shield days.

"They are telling everyone in catering that they have a new member that's debuting tonight. They said it's going to shock the whole locker room that they got him to join. Sheamus told Jimmy and Naomi that we better be watching."

"It's probably Kevin Owens." Roman said as he laced up his boots. "That was the talk last night after he pinned Dean with Del Rio's help."

"Yeah but it's the way they were saying it. I don't know man. I got a bad feeling."

"I've got a bad feeling too," Roman said, "and their name is McMahon. I'm hoping you, Jimmy, and Dean have my back tonight." He said sticking out his fist.

"You don't even have to ask." Jey said hitting his fist. "Where is Dean anyway?"

"He said he was coming to the arena with Renee," he said referring to Dean's girlfriend Renee Young. "You know Dean. He's always late."

"True that." Jey said with a grin. "I'm going to go talk to Jimmy. We've got a match with New Day and the Dudleys tonight." He said and left.

Roman picked up his belt. He was ready for whatever the Authority threw at him tonight. He was in Miami. There was a good chance his cousin Rock was going to be there.


At the beginning of the show Roman went out to the ring for his handicap match against all four of the Wyatts. He wasn't at all surprised when he was told that was who he was wrestling tonight. He was more surprised it wasn't against all four of the League of Nations. He stood in the ring waiting.

The Titan Tron came to life but it wasn't the Wyatts. It was Sheamus standing there with Renee Young. The camera panned to the left showing Rusev and Alberto Del Rio. Renee wasn't looking at Sheamus. She was looking at something off camera on the right. Her eyes looked large even from where Roman stood. Something was wrong. Roman's gut twisted not liking this one bit. Where was Wade Barrett?

"Congratulations on winning the Royal Rumble," Sheamus said grabbing Renee's arm that held the mic. Renee turned to look at Sheamus. She tried to pull her arm back and he whispered something in her ear and she stopped. He turned to look into the camera again. "I mean you came out at number 27 and won it all. You eliminated your best friend even. Not to mention me, Big Show, and Ryback." He did mock applause yanking the mic finally out of Renee's hands. Renee ran away as fast as her heels would allow her.

Rusev moved to stop her but Sheamus stopped him. "Don't worry about her," he said in a voice that was barely audible on camera.

Roman was really not liking this. He took a mic that a ring technician handed to him. "What do you want Sheamus?" he demanded.

"I want to issue a challenge for Fast Lane. Myself and the newest member of the League of Nations versus you and a partner of your choosing."

"Newest member," Michael Cole asked from ringside. "There was talk tonight that there was going to be another member of the League of Nations. I wonder who it is?"

"You and Owens?" roman asked. "Dean and I can beat both of you.'

"That might be a little difficult to do fella," Sheamus said as he turned his head to look to his right. "Kevin Owens didn't join the League of Nations. He did."

Sheamus manhandled the cameraman until he was showing the right. Off to the right standing next to King Barrett was Dean Ambrose. "Isn't that right fella?"

Dean didn't say anything he just nodded his head.


Notes: I had fun writing this chapter. Looks can be very deceiving. I wrote how everyone was situated and reacting backstage for a reason.
