Raw
March 4th, 2019
"Thank god for Raw being in Philly." I smiled stepping out my car. The guys barreled out of it as soon as it stopped moving." I don't even drive that bad."
"You nearly ran somebody over." Dean cried.
"He saw me coming and wanted to cross can't let these people think I'm sweet, or the rest of the family would've tried to cross."
"Seth, I'm gonna pray for you." Roman said shaking his head.
"Oh he'll be the one praying for you, Mera's way worst than I am." I grinned as Roman's face drained of color." She might've just missed the guy then did donuts around him to scare him."
"That's kind of hot." Dean said dodging a slap to the back of the head from Roman.
"Whatever, my errands are done, Trina's gonna meet us here at some point, she'll probably text somebody to let us know when." I swiftly changed the subject. I personally delivered plane tickets to a few important people back in my home town. My first set of trainers at Chikara, my childhood best friends, there wouldn't be any excuses as to why anyone can't make it to my wedding next week.
"She is really good." Seth commented." I don't know why she won't just go to black and brave."
"She's got life, school and family here Seth. She'll relocate when she's ready." I shrugged grabbing my duffle bag off the backseat floor. "The only thing that would make today even better is if my in ring return is tonight too."
"I'm going to pray for the poor soul they stick in the ring with you." Seth said. I decided to limit the amount of lifting I did in matches as an attempt to spare my shoulder. I'm going back to my roots as brawler but I'm damn sure still gonna fly.
"I don't know why that girl posted her face." Seth chuckled." I told her it was bad and she did it anyway, I think she's proud of the battle scars."
"Over my dead body would I ever put that up." I shook my head I stiffed a girl at Black & Brave by accident and she either is really proud of it or will sue my ass at a later date. "We've got an hour before the show starts and I need to find the match card."
"Hell yes!" I squealed reading over the posted card.
Katarina Love vs Dana Brooke
"Congratulations." Seth smiled hugging me from behind." You know what would make this better?"
"What?"
"You telling me this big secret that you thinks top secret." Seth replied, I giggled before shaking my head.
"You'll find out later on. If you didn't notice, I've got the time slot immediately following my match."
"Hmm I thought that was cause you were hometown hero." Seth jokingly said.
"I'm gonna go get ready." I gave him a peck on the lips before turning to the Women's locker. Since we were technically not considered the Shield and the bus was parked in my Dad's driveway, I'd have to use the women's locker.
"New gear, new me." I smiled pushing open the door. Inside sat all of the Raw Women in varies stages of getting ready.
"Let me see!" Liv beamed at me, my cubbyhole was right beside hers. I placed my duffle bag down as she unzipped it quickly and fished it out.
"Lilac?" Bayley asked shocked. Liv held up the halter styled top which had violet gems going across the neck and along the bottom which stopped at the top of my stomach, the tights were the same color with rips all over them almost like somebody took a knife and randomly started slashing. It had the same gems going up the legs.
"Where are the boots?" Sasha asked." You can't not wear the furs."
"Kickpads baby." I smirked pulling them out next.
"Who are you?" Liv cringed." Lilac and regular boots ? You must be an alien."
"Or I wanna try out something different that's all." I smiled. We spent the next hour chatting before Seth knocked on the door to come get me.
"This is the most faked thing I've ever seen." Dean scoffed.
"Oh not Mae Young birthing a hand? Or when Taker hung that dude ? Just this ? I rather we publicly reconcile so I don't have to be asked a billion questions about it later." I replied. "I want everything laid out on the table so go."
Dean heads out first to a mixed reaction. Jojo reluctantly hands him her microphone before exiting the ring.
"A lot of you might be wondering why I'm out here, hell even I'm wondering why I'm out here." Dean said making me roll my eyes. I noticed a camera on the three of us as we watched from backstage most likely showing us on the big screen.
"5 months ago, I did something so terrible, and so evil to my family because I was afraid. Roman is the strongest person I know and if something like cancer can happen to him, it makes you realize that anything really can happen to anyone at the blink of an eye." Dean said pacing the ring while the crowd ate up everything he said.
"God he is too charismatic for his own good." I muttered making Roman & Seth smirk.
"I panicked and attacked at the time the only other two people I had left. All those years ago Seth single handedly dismantled the Shield and then Roman picked up the pieces. I completely shattered the Shield, when I beat Seth senseless and then put the love of his life through an announce table." Dean added." I was content with the downward spiral I was going on but then something wonderful happened, Roman went into remission and he came back. Tonight, I'm hoping that Roman will once again put the pieces together."
Roman's theme hits as the three of us strutted down the ramp. This was it the feeling I didn't know I missed getting back together again was something I needed but didn't realize. Roman and Seth held the ropes open for me as we entered the ring. I scooped up the three microphones in the corner before passing them out.
Roman didn't say a thing he just grabbed Dean into a hug, their last hug in front of the world had been a tear filled goodbye tonight it was a tear filled reunion.
"Fighting with you is something I hate but love at the same time." Seth started with a small smile." It's always mind blowing to see the things you come up with, I mean dressed as Bane? Hiding from me? When last time around you were the one hunting me? Hilarious."
"Keeping you on your toes." Dean smirked.
"We've clashed time and time again, apart of me made my peace with what happened. After all Katarina bashed your head in with a steel chair back in 2014, and you forgave that. I want to get us back together but it's not up to me."
"It's up to me." I purred into my microphone. Hundreds of eyes landed on me including Dean's.
"Before you say anything, I regret what I did to you the most. I'm the reason you left WWE, I panicked you wouldn't listen to Seth or me about the cage match. You tried to help Seth when I attacked him and the first thought in my head was if I hurt you, you can't get yourself hurt at Evolution." Dean said." But sadly it did more harm then good, I was hoping for maybe a mild concussion not a tweaked shoulder."
"You made me lose my championship, I lost my career, but worst of all I lost my family that day. Roman was going back to Florida for an undetermined amount of time, when we needed to come together to be strong for him you chose to flee." I growled with fury in my eyes." I hate how much I love you, I hate that you are my best friend, I hate what you did."
"I will make it up to you, I promise." Dean said holding out his fist. Three sets of eyes looked at me trying to decipher my next move.
"I'm holding you to that." I smirked holding out my fist, the crowd roared as Seth & Roman added their fists next.
"Believe in the Shield." Roman said all hype and excited.
Another hour flew by pretty quickly and I was now minutes away from my match and my special announcement. My phone rang snapping me away from my thoughts.
"Detrick? The timing cousin." I laughed once I answered.
"I know, I just wanted to wish you good luck and to let you know I'll be watching." He replied.
"Aw how sweet." I cooed
"If your announcement is what I think it is I want to both Thank you and beat you."
"Hmm now what would you think it was?" I asked quickly pulling Roman's new shirt over my gear.
"I saw your bucket list. But good luck again, call me when you get back to the bus."
"Okay." I replied hanging up as the ref counted the 1,2,3 on the match before mines and I started making my way to the gorilla.
"You really think you're going out there alone?" Roman asked as I got to the curtain."I'm gonna manage you and be front row for this."
"You don't even know what it is." I raised my voice slightly before frowning." Mera told you, didn't she."
"Shouldn't just leave your bucket list laying around."
"I'm burning it since everyone wants to read my shit." I groaned.
"Or or you just shouldn't leave private things in plain sight." Roman teased." Other then Mera, Detrick & myself nobody else knows."
"Good." I replied. Curt and Zack finally emerged through the curtain and headed to the back.
"Good luck Kat." Dana smiled giving me a quick hug." I missed seeing your face around here."
"I missed our strong woman gym sessions." I smiled back at the blonde."Seriously we've gotta go work out soon the only other person who can keep me going is Nikki and it's not even close to what I get with you."
"Awww, we will." Dana smiled before heading out through the curtain.
"They really treat her like shit." I said turning back to Roman." She's entering during the commercial but I get to come out on tv and cut a promo right after? That's not fair."
"It's a popularity thing, Dana has her fans but she doesn't push merch like you, your top 5 female merch movers and top 10 female or male."Roman explained.
"New item added to my bucket list." I replied with a smirk.
When all is said and done,
You'll believe god is a
woman
"And her opponent from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania being accompanied by Roman Reigns, she is a member of The Shield ,Katarina Love!" Jojo announces as Roman and I walked down the ramp arm and arm.
"Remember how we always bickered about who's ego was worst?" Roman asked chuckling as I walked up the steel stairs.
"It's still yours." I shot back smirking.
"You're theme song is literally calling you god." Roman countered laughing.
"Haters gonna hate." I Laughed climbing the turnbuckle, I slid down into the ring just as the song faded out.
The ref asked if we were both ready before motioning for the bell.
Dana & I went into a lock up with us both struggling for dominance. Dana finally won and brought me to the mat with a vertical suplex. I slapped the mat annoyed before sliding through her legs and rolling her up.
"1!" Dana kicked out.
The two of us got to our feet and began circling each other. I went for a forearm smash but Dana leaned back before kicking me in the stomach doubling me over. She hoisted me up onto her shoulders for a fireman's carry but I managed to wiggle myself free and drop her with a forward Russian leg sweep.
I started to stomp on the blonde but she eventually caught my foot yanking it out from under me. I fell flat on my butt and Dana climbed on top of me raining down rights and lefts to my head.
If I didn't understand what this moment meant to her, I would've thrown her ass off and ended her. She pulled me to my feet and Irish whipped me into the corner. She came at me with her handspring back elbow but I pulled one of my own out and we collided into each other in the center of the ring.
I popped up to my feet first and hit the ropes for a springboard moonsault, Dana rolled out the way but I saw it coming and landed on my feet in front of her. In the blink of an eye I drive both my knees into her gut before standing up and hitting a standing moonsault. I hook both her legs.
"1!"
"2!" Dana kicked out.
I pulled Dana up and whipped her into the ropes, she rebounded back and leap frogged over me. She hit the ropes again and nailed me in the jaw with her knee when I went for a flapjack. Dana hoists me up for her Samoan Driver but I manage to escape her grasp, I shove her away before quickly hitting the rope and knocking the wind out her with a spear.
"1!"
"2!"
"3!"
"Your winner via pinfall Katarina Love!" Jojo announced, I paused for a second to check on Dana. She gave me a thumbs up as she got to her feet and left.
"So I've been hearing it's a lot of speculation on what kind of contract I signed. It's a pretty hefty contract, I think I'm bringing in Intercontinental champion type money." I joked wiggling my eyebrows. "There's nothing to it, it's a three year contract so you should have me until 2022 baring nothing weird happens to me. Like my shoulder crapping out again. But what I'm really out here to say is the WWE universe is going to be apart of my wedding, I'm not joining this season of total Divas because that would be dumb, but I'll have cameras following myself and my favorite people in the upcoming days leading up to the wedding and finally the wedding itself." I smiled as the crowd cheered."It's all white everything, so you guys better be watching in all white."
Queendom
Where the kings
Bow down
"Good god, that's it? That's what you pestered my father into? Giving you a reality show?" Stephanie spat walking onto the stage.
"Actually no, he offered it to me as long as it airs exclusively on the WWE network, since Miz & Mrs did so well." I replied with a shrug before finally looking directly into the camera " I just have to make sure to include that it's all yours for just 9.99 a month."
"Boo now go." Stephanie spat." We have more important things this time could be used for like our Raw Women's Championship."
"Nobody wants to watch Becky Lynch come over here and steal our show when there's a perfectly good title over at Smackdown with a more than credible champion."
"Sounds like jealousy you aren't invited to Mania." Stephanie smirked.
"I'll be valeting my Boys." I shrugged." Unless you have a better idea."
"Three years is a very long time." Stephanie muttered before rolling her eyes." It was peaceful when I had Nya get rid of you, I think I'll do that again next week. You & Devin verses Nya Stone & Becky Lynch."
"Wow leave it to you, to give me a match two days before my wedding with the woman who thinks it's fun to disfigure me." I sighed before shrugging again." You know what a lovely gift from you & Hunter would be?"
"Not putting you in handicap matches for the next three years?"
"That does sound really fun, remember all the fun we had with Cameron, Eva & Aksana ?" I smiled fondly at the time before I realized Stephanie was a bitch.
"When you were worth something, good times."
"I think a match against you at Wrestlemania would make an amazing gift."
"No." Stephanie immediately vacated the stage.
"No problem I'll ask Vince." I smirk climbing out the ring. My theme starts to play as I exit the ring.
"Dana!" I called out catching the blonde on her way to the the locker. She stopped giving me time to catch up to her.
"What's up?" Dana asked when I got close enough.
"I want you to train at black & brave."
"I don't know if that'll help." Dana said sadly." I can wrestle, I just don't get the chance to really showcase it."
"You get overwhelmed fast, and we can fix that, even if you don't want to go all the way to Iowa, Seth, Devin & I are the lead trainers there, we'll gladly help with that." I explained, the blonde chewed her bottom lip for a second before nodding.
"Tomorrow, Devin, Sasha, Bayley and I are going to Chikara. You're more then welcomed to join us."
"I'll see you then." Dana smiled turning on her heel.
"That was sweet of you." Roman said walking up to me."You know I think you should stay pass the three years, Seth & I will be here."
"I want to open a dance school and be there full time, I can't do that if I'm halfway around the world."
"I understand." Roman shrugged." It was nice being home with the kids."
"I imagine." I replied as we went our seperate ways, him to the mens locker and myself to find Seth.
"Katarina!" Charly calls out, I turn on my heel slightly annoyed but smile anyway.
"What can I do for you?"
"We wanted more details on the show, and the wedding." Charly said shoving the microphone in my face.
"It'll be called Shielded by Love, you won't see my dress or anything like that and alot of the smaller details are already set in stone. Most likely you'll see me freak out every 30 seconds because Shamera's not girly enough, or because Sasha's hair is way too loud. " I joked moving my hair behind my ear.
"Sounds charming." she replied.
"Mind if I cut in?" Charly's eyes grow wide as she shakes her head quickly.
"Well hello." I laugh as Vince appears beside me.
"Charly you can go, I have something to discuss with Katarina." He says making the dark haired women scamper off. "You want a match with my daughter? It's something the WWE universe is probably dying to see."
"I feel like it's something I need to do." I replied." It would be almost poetic."
"I'll give you that." He replied." At Wrestlemania it'll be a Lumberjill match, I know how Steph gets and she'll try and run."
"Thank you Mr. McMahon." I grinned giving him a hug.
"Consider it an early wedding gift."
