Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story besides my characters.
Note: This is a story with roots from my main story, Teenage Wrestling. If you haven't read it, please do I believe it's a great story and I believe that people like it, but maybe that's just me. The only similar stuff is I'll be using my characters and my Faction Championship.
Roman Reigns sat in his locker room thinking about what happened. Survivor Series was over and Roman had beat Seth for the World Heavyweight Championship, but then lost the championship to Sheamus who cashed in his Money in the Bank contract then adding to that the Roman Empire lost the fight for the Faction Championship to the Wyatt Family. Roman was having a terrible night and the Empire could tell as they stood in the locker room staying quiet.
Dean was also having a bad night after losing a fight with Kevin Owens for the Intercontinental Championship even though he won, but Kevin disqualified himself so Dean didn't get the championship and Kevin wouldn't allow Dean to get a rematch with the Faction Championship stacked with it.
Alex was the one who was practically depressed. While the other two were used to being ripped off, Alex was new the process and he wasn't dealing with it well. After losing the faction match he had a fight for the Tag Team Championship with Patriot which they lost, and then he had a match for the United States Championship which he lost.
The six men could hear the party going on down the hall that the League of Nations was throwing with the Wyatt family which just fueled their anger. "We'll get a rematch ya know." The Rock was the first to say anything since Survivor Series ended 25 minutes before. The twins stayed silent as the other three sighed not knowing what to do. The six just stayed silent sitting there not knowing what to do after a terrible night like that night.
Meanwhile Seth Rollins sat in Triple H's office for a meeting. "You could've hit that Curb Stomp and won, but you didn't take it, why?" Hunter asked angry that the Architect lost the title match in the first place and scared that Seth wanted to go back to the Shield and leave the Authority.
Seth remained silent thinking and not able to come up with an answer. Hunter sighed seeing the gears grinding in Seth's head knowing he wasn't going to get an answer, "I'll get you a title match tomorrow night, but you better not lose it." Seth nodded staying quiet as Triple H gestured for him to leave so that's what the Architect did.
Seth could hear the celebrating going on which kind of pissed him off seeing anyone who won, didn't deserve to win. He had watched all the matches and knew the others had gotten robbed, but Seth couldn't argue against it. After all that's exactly what he did to Roman last year during Wrestlemania.
The half blonde man made his way towards his locker room and passed the Roman Empire's locker room making him stop in front of the door. He wanted to give his apologies to the others, but they all hated him so he didn't know what to do. 'I'll never know until I try.' He thought to himself making one of the worst decisions in his life.
He knocked on the door making everyone in the Empire look at the door. "Come in." The Rock ordered and Seth opened the door nervously not knowing what he would find. When the others saw him they tensed and Seth licked his lips nervously announcing, "I would like to say…" He was cut off by Dean who yelled, "Shut the fuck up and get the fuck out!" Seth flinched figuring that would be the reaction he would get.
"Wait, I want to hear this." Alex said to his older brother making Dean huff angrily along with Roman who didn't say anything because he didn't want to upset Alex. Everyone remained silent as Jey held the door open so Seth could run quickly if Dean decided to attack him. "I would like to say I'm sorry for what happened to you all tonight, Roman you held up a good fight and you deserved that championship." Seth told the group making Alex lightly smile knowing that Seth didn't hate them all, or at least completely.
"You've said what you wanted to say, now leave before I rip your throat out." Dean ordered so Seth nodded taking his leave as Jey closed the door. Alex sighed standing up making Jimmy ask, "Where're you going?" Alex shrugged not sure how to answer but he left the room quickly following Seth.
"Seth!" The former champ stopped and turned around recognizing the voice of his ex brother. Alex decided he was making a mistake but he didn't care, he just wanted answers and he was going to do it. Alex ran up to the half blonde man stopping in front of him making Seth raise an eyebrow confused.
"Why'd you just say all that if you hate us?" Alex asked demandingly making Seth sigh and sit on a crate behind him. "I don't hate you guys per se, but it's complicated," Seth was about to stop speaking but he saw the fire in Alex's eyes and decided against it, "Lately I've been thinking about the Shield days and I miss it." The former champ couldn't stop the last sentence from coming out which stunned Alex.
"So you attack me, a 16 year old because you miss the Shield?" The teen grabbed Seth's collar growling angrily and staring the man in the eyes. "I didn't want to attack you; I just had to sell it to the Authority." Seth said actually intimidated by the young Samoan Powerhouse. Before Alex could reply he heard footsteps coming towards them and he looked over to see a white haired Han Porter coming towards him glaring at Alex with his blood like bright red eyes.
"Let him go and I won't Curb Stomp you into next week." Han growled knowing that Alex and Seth were both beat to hell from their matches meaning that either one could be taken down easily. Alex let go of Seth not knowing how to reply to the man and Han smiled not knowing what had just occurred thinking he was a hero of sorts to his older brother.
Seth sighed standing up and he walked down the hall with his white haired 14 year old brother who was happier than Sheamus leaving Alex standing in the middle of the hall not knowing what to think. "You owe me one." Han told Seth as they arrived at their locker room and the Architect cracked a smile.
"For what?" The older sibling asked unsure what it was about. "For saving your butt back there." Han answered making Seth think about what happened for a second and the Architect realized what his little brother meant. "I guess I do. Good job." He told Han wanting to keep the boy happy which didn't happen often.
Meanwhile Alex slowly made his way back to the Roman Empire's locker room dazed and confused. When he walked in the room everyone looked at him with questioning looks but when they saw his facial expression they remained silent. 'I had to sell it to the Authority.' Was the only though that Alex had for the rest of the night until he went to sleep at their hotel.
