26-11-12 – RAW
We walked in to the room that we were going to have our interview with Michael Cole in and sat down Dean, myself, Seth and then Roman.
'Dean, Kaylee, Seth and Roman, it's been my pleasure to have known you guys for a while now and work with you down in the developmental territory on NXT, and it seems a bit odd though, to be conducting this interview tonight under these circumstances. It was 8 nights ago at Survivor Series, many people say that….' Cole started to say but was interrupted
'Many people? Who are these people?' Dean asked grinning
'Michael, if you got a question to ask us, just ask' I said simply
'Ok, are you four working directly for WWE champion CM Punk?' Cole asked
'Nope' Dean said almost immediately after
'Ok, if you're not working for Punk then why are you guys here?' Cole asked confused
'That's the question, Michael. That's the question you should be asking. You see, we sat down in NXT and we saw thing clearly, crystal clear actually. You see everybody around here has to answer to the likes of the Vicki Guerrero's and the Booker T's, and Vickie and Booker, they have to answer to the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors ultimately has to answer to the WWE universe, the almighty WWE universe. What is that, Michael? What is that?' Seth asked
'It's a disgrace!' I stated
'It's a popularity contest. And that's not right, that's wrong, Michael. We saw things heading in the wrong direction. We stepped in and righted those wrongs. Michael, we are a shield from injustice in WWE' Seth explained
'Come on guys, there's no denying that everything you've done so far has benefited CM Punk' Cole argued as Dean leant in to me
'I like the name The Shield' He whispered and I nodded in agreement
'Michael, its coincidence. Happenstance, ever heard of it?' Seth asked sarcastically
'It's not about benefitting Punk, it's about right and wrong. CM Punk, the WWE Champion was forced to defend his title in a triple threat match against two guy's he'd already defeated. That's wrong. So we stepped in' Dean explained
'If it had been Ryback or Cena, we've have done the same thing. I personally can't stand Punk so I would have preferred it was Ryback or Cena but it's not about popularity. It's about doing what's right' I said firmly
'If Ryback was champion for 365 days and Punk tried to ruin his party, we would've intervened on Ryback's behalf. 365 days as champion in this era, I mean, that's a huge milestone, which should be celebrated, right?' Dean said as if it was the simplest thing in the world.
'Roman, I'd love to get your take on all this' Cole said
'When I want to say something, I'll say it' He said and I smirked trying not to laugh.
'Look Cole, we see where you're getting ok? We hear everything you guys are saying, we read everything that's being written ok? We know what you guys are thinking. We are not renegades, we're not mercenaries, and we're not the nexus. If you're looking for the NWO, Go buy the D.V.D. we're about principles, we're about honour, where honour no longer exists. We're going to step in' Dean explained
'It's like he said, we're a shield from injustice. We are The Shield' I said getting the nods from the boys
'Ok so…' Cole started to say but was interrupted
'I've got something to say. We've said enough. This interview's over man' Roman said as we took off our microphones and left.

We sat up in our skybox as we watched the start of RAW and Ryback's match.
'Well, there is one CM Punk, four outsiders dressed in black or all five of them together. I'm going to stand here all damn night until I get what I want. FEED ME MORE' Ryback said after winning his match as the chanting started. It went to a commercial break and then came back LIVE and security came down to the ring and stood in front of Ryback. One man stepped forward only to be taken out by Ryback.
'Ryback, I am a very understanding person. And I know that you feel angry and embarrassed for being put through a table twice last week. And I know that you feel robbed of the WWE Championship at Survivor Series. However, as managing supervisor of RAW, I am telling you that you will not be allowed to put your hands on the security or hold my show hostage. So Ryback, I have no choice, but to…' Vicki came out and started to say
'That's right Vicki, there is no choice. I want CM Punk and I want CM Punk at the TLC Pay-Per View. And I ain't going anywhere until I get it' Ryback demanded as the crowd cheered.
'Ryback, I understand that you are angry and you have every right to be. Look, in interest of fairness, I will give you your match at the TLC pay-per view against Punk, but I am asking you to please leave the ring' Vicki said
'Shut. Up. I wasn't finished speaking. I want CM Punk at TLC, but guess what Vicki, I don't just want that, I want Punk with tables, with ladders, and with chairs. And I swear Vicki, I swear, if you don't give me what I want there's no amount of security you can find that can stop me from tearing this damn ring from post to post' Ryback demanded as the crowd cheered
'Ok Ryback, you can have you tables, ladders and chairs match against Punk but only under one condition. Will you please, please leave the ring, so I can get on with the show?' Vicki begged.

We watched the rerun of our interview and I laughed
'Roman, what was up with that whole mysterious silent act?' I said laughing hitting Roman in the chest a we sat on the lounge.
'Shut up girl. It worked well' Roman said laughing
We watched as Kane was picked to go up against Punk in the main event
'That is not fair' Dean growled and I had to agree
'Can we wait til Punk gets beat up a bit before getting involved?' I said earning a laugh from the boys.
We made our way down to the ring and stood on the outside of the barricade when Kane finally noticed us. With the distraction Punk picked up the win and as soon as the bell sounded we climbed the barricade and surrounded the ring like a pack of wolves. I kept glaring at Punk and it almost looked like we were going to attack him but when we got into the ring we went on the attack against Kane. Stomping him hard in the corner. Daniel made his way to the ring and speared Dean into the corner but Seth and Roman went to help him while I continued to stomp a grounded Kane. They moved back to Kane and I climbed the top rope and drop kicked Daniel who was standing up and then climbed the rope again until I heard Ryback' music come on.
I jumped down and shared an annoyed look with Dean before we went on the attack against Ryback as he slid into the ring. I climbed the top rope and went to dropkick him but was caught by him and power bombed into the turnbuckle. I groaned hearing a loud crack no doubt coursed by a rib. He then went on to clothesline all of the boys. Punk came back in and tried to attack from behind but Ryback got the upper hand and went to power bomb Punk, Roman took the opportunity to spear him.
Dean then jumped on him and hit him hard with left and right punches while Seth helped me up and I climbed to the top rope. Dean and Seth put Ryback on Roman's shoulders and we triple power bomb clotheslined him.
We stood in the ring as Punk stared at me and winked again. Dean started walking towards him angrily but Roman and Seth stopped him as I collapsed to my knee's trying to breathe. Dean came over to me and Roman and he helped me out of the ring and back up to our skybox through the crowd.
