Dean stands by the list of entrants for the tournament that Vince put up. His name was on there of course. He knew it was to placate his fan base. That good old Dean had a shot but couldn't do it and to prove to everyone that he was not a main eventer. He also knew it was Vince's personal joke to have him there and against Ryback first. If he made it past that it was him vs Cena. The deck was stacked against him. Then there was Brock on the other side that would easily make it to the finals. Brock just had to tear through the jobbers to get to the finals. Dean knew Vince wanted Brock vs Cena because, despite Vince's hatred of the Boy Scout, John made them money.

Dean cracks his neck and then looks at the list again. He was going to win. Not only to prove that he could but to prove that he was better than everyone thinks. He wasn't a joke. He could get the job done.

Cena stands behind him and then speaks up when Dean doesn't notice. "Plotting something Ambrose?"

Dean turns sharply and then glares at the man. "Who me? Why would I be plotting something boy scout."

Cena eyes him and then speaks up. "I don't have an interest in the omega."

Dean nods and cocks his head to one side. "Oh? Why?" He didn't actually expect John to answer but was curious still.

Cena shrugs. "I have a girlfriend and I happen to be attached to her and I can get a title shot on my own"

Dean hums softly. "She's a beta." Normally even with a beta most Alpha's would never turn down a chance to have an actual omega. Omega's where the prizes that Alpha's sought after. The one that biology demanded them to seek out and also they were considered by some to be the most desirable.

Cena nods. "So? Doesn't mean I love her any less. I know what society demands of us and thinks of us. But I love her and I would never hurt her."

Dean shrugs. He didn't get it honestly but he had never really thought or been with someone because he loved them. They were always just someone that he had a good time with.

Cena sighs. "Dean .."

Dean waves his hand. "I know anyone can mate anyone.. well except for Omega's according to this society. I won't claim to understand it but I get it."

Cena nods and then looks at him. "Maybe someday you will get it." Cena then shrugs. "Vince is going to Freak-out if you win. You know he is stacking the deck so that Brock wins."

Dean nods and then smirks at Cena. "I know."

Cena sighs. "You just can't stay away from trouble."

Dean shakes his head and then grins brightly at Cena. "Nope."

Cena looks at Dean. "I'm not saying don't do it but Dean.. the omega isn't a pawn he's a person."

Dean sighs and looks at Cena. "you sound like Roman."

Cena grins. "I'll take that as a compliment. But I'm right."

Dean looks at him. "He'll be treated right. Don't worry."

Cena nods and then looks at him. Dean though shrugs him off and leaves the hallway. He needs to get ready for his match against Ryback. He had beaten Ryback before but people said it was just a miracle. But he was going to make that miracle happen again.

The tournament is announced to the world as just a title shot with a special prize. Vince though was so completely sure that one of his chosen would win. He had contracts drafted up. They all guaranteed that if the person won he would be able to claim Seth Mcmahon as their mate and a title shot to cash in at any time. Stephanie and Hunter, both protested this saying that it was too risky. Vince though had every competitor sign one completely ignoring his daughter and her omega.

Dean looks at Roman and mouths too easy.

Dean stands in the back preparing for his match and then looks up when Roman walks over. Roman looks Dean over. "ready?"

Dean nods and grins. "I'm going to win Roman."

Roman nods and looks at him. "I just hope you're ready for this."

Dean looks at him and cocks his head to one side.

Roman sighs. "Having an omega. It's a relationship man. It's a lot of work, they also.." Roman frowns and almost feels like he's making omegas out to a child but somewhat.. "Dean they're often sheltered and don't know a lot about the world. Then there's the fact that they have been raised to be dependent and obey. You need to know they are just a lot of work to make things work. Also, there's the heats and your own reactions. Are you ready for this?"

Dean nods. "I'm ready Roman."

Roman nods and looks towards the line stage when Dean's music hits. "Alright man."

Dean walks out to the ring.

Roman's Mate stands to the side and Roman gives a soft sigh. He was not certain that Dean was ready.

The match with Ryback goes well. Ryback puts Dean through hell but Dean lasts and then hits him with Dirty Deeds and walks away. The crowd is easily supporting him in the win. Dean walks to the back and grins at Roman, holding up two fingers. He is signaling only two more wins left.
