Chapter 6: Welcome to the Jungle
"I AM NOT SOME CHEAP BROAD IN A WHOREHOUSE! IF YOU THINK THAT I'LL DRESS LIKE THIS-LIKE ONE OF YOUR DITSY DIVAS-YOU'RE WRONG VINCE!" It had been like this all morning: a shouting match between the Chairman and his newest employee. The cause over such a violent disagreement: apparel. Vince had been willing to compromise with Kat that if she wore some Diva clothing, she could fight the boys. Even if sex sells, Kat had been furious. Did that even make sense? Shouldn't she be covered up if she was going to get rough? Well, as long as she wasn't dressed like Rosa or the Bellas, Kat figured she'd manage. I've brawled in leather pants; I doubt less clothing will slow me down, Kat thought, trying to convince herself.
"Kathryn, be reasonable. It's black. You wanted that, didn't you? And it matches one of your partners who is very tall and very scary. And you look good. Please, just come out." Stephanie had been trying to get through to Kathryn. Vince had given up, Triple H had left after Kat threw a lamp at him, and Dwayne had enough brains to feign a migraine and not show up in the first place. A Hollywood teenager was still a teenager, and Stephanie had plenty of experience from her son to deal with Kathryn.
A lot of huffing and stomping and cursing came from the dressing room before Kat pushed her head out from behind the curtain and glared at Vince and Stephanie. Stephanie gave her a smile, and Kat stepped out. She was in black wrestling gear. Her top was tank top like with straps that crossed in the back and cut off just above her belly button. Her bottoms were typical Diva bottoms: short shorts that hugged her butt. The left short leg had a red fire design on the side, and the right was plain black. All over the skimpy outfit were designed red seams. Her wrestling boots were black and were like combat boots that stopped an inch below her knees. In other words, she looked like a mix between AJ and Kane-though she didn't know that.
Having decided it was safe to return, Triple H poked his head in the door and gave a cat-call whistle. "Hunter!" Stephanie turned to smack her husband on the arm.
Vince looked up from his cell phone. "Does this work for you, Ms. Kathryn?"
Kat turned to examine herself in the mirror. It wasn't horrible, but she was more covered up on stage. "I'd get more respect if I just dressed-"
Vince cut her off. "And I make more money if you dress like this so it's settled."
"Ignore him," Stephanie chimed. "You look hot. Now let's see if you can wrestle."
On the screen was Daniel Bryan, pacing and speaking into his phone. "Look Kane. I don't know where you are, but we have a match tonight. It's not Daniel Bryan vs. the Shield. It's Team Hell No vs. the Shield. I don't know why you'd leave like this-" There was someone speaking on the other end. "Home?!" Daniel screamed. "What do you mean you went home to look for another partner? You live in hell!" Daniel paused and then laughed. "Oh my God, Kane! You're from hell…Yes, I know you know that you're from hell, but you can get us another partner. What do you mean you already thought of that? Of course, you did. I just said it. Two monsters and-Hey! Hey! Get that camera outta here." Daniel shooed away the camera that was relaying him to the Titantron.
Kathryn was in her and Dwayne's locker room attempting to lace up her boots when there was a knock on the door. Kat stood up to greet the two Superstars she'd be working with. She smiled. "You must be Daniel and Kane." Having her cast removed that Friday, she put out her hand to Daniel who ignored it.
"Look here," Daniel sneered. "You may be from hell or whatever, but you're NOT a wrestler. You'll lose this for us." Kat rolled her eyes and just sat back down and began lacing up her other boot. "I don't know why Creative would think this is a good idea." Daniel was clearly talking to Kane who was just studying Kat. "It's basically a handicap match now. We haven't won with three wrestlers so how are we gonna win with just the two of us?" Kathryn, done with her boots, looked up to Kane raising her eyebrows.
"There are three of us, Daniel. Andy and Dwayne told us you can actually fight. Is that true?" Kane asked.
Before Kat could respond, Daniel yelled, "I got it! You're a girl right?" Kat looked to Kane. Should she be offended? "You can distract the Shield while Kane and I-the real wrestlers-win our first match against them! It's a perfect plan!" Daniel was now jumping up and down with excitement.
Kathryn, gritting her teeth, said, "How exactly, Daniel, am I supposed to distract them? Breathe fire? Pole dance?"
Before Daniel could respond with some more of his brilliant plan, Kane interrupted. "Daniel, c'mon, you're an underdog and you can fight. She's no different, and maybe we need someone new to fight against the Shield."
"I can't believe you're on her side! We're Team Hell No, She's not a part of our team!" Daniel was pulling his hair.
Before things could come to blows, Kat stepped between the two. "Why don't we compromise, okay? You don't hafta tag me in during the match, but I'll make sure that the rest of the Shield doesn't interfere with Kane. Okay? But Daniel, it won't be my fault if the Shield gets the pin on you…again." Daniel began to sputter. "You said you didn't need me so I'll stay out your business and work with Kane…He's much cuter anyways." Daniel looked disgusted, and Kane just laughed. "By the way, Kane, let's make a bet. If we win, I get a kiss from you."
"And if we lose?" Kane laughed out.
"You get a kiss from me." Kathryn laughed before pushing Team Hell No out the door. "C'mon. I think we're about to go out."
"Approaching the ring first, weighing in at a combined weight of 533 points, they are the Tag Team Champions, Team Hell No!" Kane and Daniel Bryan walked out with their belts. Kane raised his arms for his pyro while Daniel covered his ears. Before Lilian could announce their partner, the Shield's music hit. Lilian seemed shocked, but went on, "Making their way to the ring, weighing in at over 700 pounds, the Shield!"
The Shield stopped and circled the ring. Dean Ambrose motioned for a mic. "Team Hell No. Team Hell No. You had to go to hell to get a partner, did you? Well, you still won't defeat the Shield. We are unbeatable. We are invincible." By this time, all three members of the Shield were in the center of the ring while the referee was trying to contain Team Hell No to their corner. "We are the-"
Pull the triggggggeeeeerrrrr
Shoot to thrill
Play to kill
Too many women with too many pills
Flames shot down the aisle to the ring before a bigger bout of pyro went off around the ring. Kat stepped out from behind the guerilla. She was nervous. This was much different than singing, but it was rather similar to walking down the runway…in a twisted sort of way. The crowd, however, was just as loud. Kathryn took a quick breath. She had missed this. The lights, the fans, the action. Not waiting for an invitation, Kathryn ran full speed down the walkway and slid into the ring. She had to act quickly; Dean was about to speak again and she couldn't afford to be dissed before the fighting even began. She plowed into Seth Rollins. Kane and Daniel pushed past the referee and went straight for Dean and Roman.
"Wow. This is a huge shock! Whatever I was expecting, Cole, it was not this. For all of you that just tuned in, we are watching some pre-match fighting between the Shield and Team Hell No with the proclaimed Queen of Hell, Kathryn!" Jerry was nearly screaming into his mic, trying to be heard over the roar of the crowd.
"She shouldn't be here, King. She's not a wrestler. It was one thing when Immortal Youth's Andy was teaming with Kane and Daniel Bryan. This, however, is a bad-"
"Look at that!" Jerry shouted. "She just clotheslined Seth Rollins over the top rope. Hahaha. The official is trying to push her back to the corner and get the actual match started." As the referee separated Team Hell No and the Shield, Jerry turned to Michael Cole. "What was that you were saying, Cole? Bad what?"
Cole just shook his head, replying, "Why don't we focus on the match and pray that this little girl doesn't get hurt."
Daniel and Seth were starting the match. Kane was quietly explaining what was going on as Kathryn had little-well actually no- in-ring experience. Kat nodded, keeping an eye on Dean and Roman. She caught Dean staring at her and gave a girly little wave.
Jerry was laughing. "Did you see that? Kathryn just waved across the ring to Dean Ambrose. AJ has nothing on this girl."
"I don't know how smart that was," Cole stated. "Dean looks infuriated and was just tagged in. She may be from hell, but can she actually wrestle?" Jerry was silent.
Dean had just clotheslined Daniel when Kat called his name, trying to buy time for Daniel. Dean stalked over, but the referee pushed Dean back to the center of the ring. Seth and Roman were yelling at Dean to turn around. Dean did and was rolled up by Daniel but managed to kick out at two. Daniel was about to start running the ropes, but Dean followed and clotheslined Daniel into the ropes. He pushed Daniel's arms around the ropes and delivered some punches to the gut. Dean ran the ropes and dropkicked Daniel in the gut. He threw Daniel against the mat and went for the pin. Daniel kicked out at two and tried to crawl to Kane and Kathryn. Dean dragged him back to the Shield's corner. He used his foot to hold the Submission Specialist on the ground and tagged in Roman.
"This looks no different from any other matches with the Shield, King."
"What does that mean?" Jerry asked.
Cole responded, "The Shield is dominating." Cole was observing the Shield deliver covert kicks to Daniel while the ref tried to pull Dean off and get Roman in. Jerry was observing Kathryn and Kane, calling to their partner.
The mic's caught on to Kathryn's screaming. "C'mon Daniel! Just get the hell up. They're not that smart and they're not punching you that hard. Get up and tag us in already." Roman German-suplexed Daniel, got up, and went over to Kathryn and Kane. He towered over Kathryn, and she jumped off the apron, pretending to be intimidated. The ref pushed Roman back toward the crouching Daniel. Daniel jumped on to Roman's shoulders, and the Big Samoan fell forward. Daniel leapt over and went for No! Lock. Roman was pulling himself toward the ropes, but Daniel had locked on in the center of the ring and Dean and Seth seemed far away. He looked like he was about to tap out when Seth jumped off the top rope and delivered a knee to the back of Daniel's head.
Seth was kicking Daniel before the ref got to five when Kat slid through the ropes and speared Seth through the ropes toward the commentators. Daniel and Roman tagged in their respective partners, and Kane and Dean got in the ring. Daniel and Roman were trying to recover, but Kat and Seth were still brawling outside the ring. The ref was trying to separate the two and keep an eye on the legal men. Kane was about to chokeslam Dean when he was speared by Roman all the way into Team Hell No's corner. The referee motioned that a tag was made between Daniel and Kane, and Daniel got in the ring to face Dean. Daniel backed Dean into the corner. Roman turned and saw Seth and Kathryn still brawling. The two were exchanging blows when Kathryn slammed his head into the steel steps. Roman jumped off the apron and ran to Seth but before he could make it, Kane was there. The ref was screaming at the non-legal men to get back to their corners, but no one was listening.
"The referee has lost control. The legal men are Dean and Daniel, but neither men seem to have the advantage. On the outside, it's Kane and Reigns and Kathryn and Rollins. You can say what you want, Cole, but that girl can fight. She's been bringing it to Rollins since the match started. Neither have been in the ring together, but they sure are battling it out." Jerry and Cole were so concentrated on the mess around the ring, they barely caught Dean's low-blow to Daniel. Having seen nothing, the ref refocused on the in-ring action and caught on as Dean went for his headlock driver and went for the pin. Neither Kane nor Kathryn could get to Daniel as they were busy dealing with the other two Shield members, who seemed to have found their second winds. Seth rammed Kat's head into the steel pole and was about to go help Roman finish up with Kane when Kathryn ran behind him and performed a Stunner.
She heard the bell ring and looked to the ring. Dean was getting up from the pin and staring straight at her. Kat quickly surmised that she and Team Hell No had lost and pulled herself onto the apron, determined to get in a punch or two. Dean kicked away Daniel, and Kat warily slid through the ropes and into the ring. Before they could meet, Roman pulled Dean's arm back, whispering, "Next time. Seth's hurt." Dean wanted to dole out justice to Kathryn, but he couldn't let his team seem un-united like Team Hell No. As the two men slid out of the ring, Kathryn kneeled to check on Bryan. Kane was rousing from Roman's spear just in time to see Seth being helped over the barricade and the Shield walking back through the crowd. Kathryn knew she had to act fast if she wanted to come off on top. She saw a mic on the ground near where the Shield had jumped over and went for it. Diving through the ropes, she grabbed the mic and was straddled over the barricade before Kane grabbed her by the waist.
"Ambrose. Rollins. Reigns. Oh boys, you may have got away this time, but it's just the beginning." The Shield turned around. "You made this very personal, and I won't rest until you're all in the hospital…or in a casket."
Kane was pulling Kathryn off the barricade when Dean came down a few steps, laughed, shook his head, and turned back around to Seth and Roman. "That's right, Dean. Walk away. Because next time, when you lose to me, you won't be able to."
A/N- Kat's theme song is "Shoot to Thrill" by AC/DC. Her wrestling gear is shaped as a mix between AJ and Eve but is the same pattern and design as Kane's. I got the idea from when AJ dressed up as Kane, but I thought this was cuter. Anywhoo, I hope you enjoyed. I'm not great at fight scenes, but they're my favorite parts to read so I hope it wasn't too bad. Reviews are appreciated.
