Last Time

"I would love to be a part of The Shield." Layla grinned. "A flawless diva like me deserves to be with the best the WWE has to offer." She giggled smugly.

Dean flashed his girlfriend his trademark sinister smirk. "AJ? What do you think babe?"

AJ smirked back. "That will be a simply flawless idea."

Dean smiled. "Seth, Roman?" He asked.

"Another sexy woman in our team, I like it." Roman smiled at Layla. Seth nodded and grinned. "No problem with another girl in the group, especially if she's a friend of AJ's." He said in agreement.

"Then its official sweetheart. Welcome to The Shield." Dean grinned.

Layla gave AJ a tight, friendly, hug, she was happy to be working with her best friend in the WWE once again.

"I love you girl.." AJ murmured happily. Dean knew AJ's love for Layla was a tight sisterly love and nothing like the love he had for her as he smiled warmly at the loving moment between his girlfriend and their newest teammate.

"I love you too." Layla replied with joy in her words. Dean, Seth, and Roman knew that the girls had a friendly, sisterly, relationship but they were perfectly fine with that. AJ and Layla reunited and it felt so good as the Shield just became stronger and all the more flawless.

End Flashback

"You look beautiful in a flak jacket Lay." AJ cooed happily.

"I know. It's been a while since I've worn black." Layla smiled gleefully, seeing herself wear the black and pink lady Shield attire in the locker room's full body mirror.

"LayCool days right?" Seth asked with a knowing smile.

"That's right." Layla nodded. "Chelle and I had these black hoodies we used to wear that had Flawless on them. We loved those." She giggled.

Dean rubbed his chin, thinking of something.

"What are you thinking, Dean?" Layla asked innocently, seeing his reflection in the mirror.

"What would you say to you and AJ bringing back your hoodies? I personally think AJ would look adorable in one...oh who the fuck am I kidding, she looks adorable in anything!" Dean laughed.

Layla laughed. "True and it's a good idea but I don't want to bring back the Laycool hoodies."

"Why?" AJ pouted.

"Because I'm thinking we put on Shield hoodies instead." Layla said with a smile.

"Hmmm...Shield hoodies eh Lay?" AJ giggled.

"I prefer the Shield logo personally, but the rest sounds awesome!" AJ grinned.

"I know! I can't wait to tell the tailors about it." Layla grinned with glee.

"What do you think boys?" AJ giggled.

"I like it." Dean nodded along with his male teammates. "You girls are a part of the Shield, you deserve your own gear." Roman seconded with a smile.

"How bout you Sethie?" AJ cooed.

Seth smiled and nodded at AJ from her little pet name for him. "I like the idea too. You girls would look great in your own hoodies and I bet they'd sell too." He chuckled softly.

"Then its settled. Think you can get them and touch up my title over the weekend boys?" AJ asked.

"Sure, the Black Widow design, right?" Dean asked in return

"Yup, thats right baby." AJ giggled.

"Good, I'll let the creative team know tomorrow." Dean said with certainty. He was going to make the butterfly change into a black widow spider as a Divas Championship design.

"Thank you baby!" AJ squealed, hugging him tightly.

Dean returned the tight hug. "Anything for my Harley." He said and smiled lovingly in the embrace.

AJ cuddled into him. The Shield was going to become even more flashy soon..

The Shield was the most dominant team in the WWE with the hottest and most dangerous girls in the company by their side. They were already dangerous and powerful but soon enough they were going to look good doing it.

"SIERRA HOTEL INDIA LIMA DELTA SHIELD!" That introduction led to the entry of the the WWE's most imposing faction, The Shield. They marched down the lower crowd level steps, over the barricade and into the ring. Seth, Roman, and Dean had goals in mind and those were to defeat The Miz and The Usos to make them pay for ruining their attempt at Vengeance on The Bellas from earlier tonight and please their ladies of The Shield in the process, AJ Lee and their newest member Layla.

"It's their yard Michael. Who can stop 'em?" JBL asked.

"Well apparently The Miz and The Usos think they can. Look at earlier tonight where they spared The Bellas from further damage by The Shield." Michael Cole explained

"Which is just wrong Michael. They were trying to stand up for their lady." JBL countered in defense of the Hounds Of Justice.

"I don't mind seeing bad people get what they deserved but that would've been too much. The Bellas would've been hurt to say the very least if the The Miz and The Usos didn't make the save." Cole explained.

"Will you quit being so biased with your conspiracies Michael?! Jesus Jiminy Christmas!" JBL huffed which King laughed hard at.

Cole barely fought off laughter himself as he readied a reply. "Every time I disagree with you, you think it's because I have a conspiracy!" He laughed.

JBL began to laugh himself. "Because you do Michael!"

"So what you're saying is because I don't want The Bellas to get Triple-Powerbomed by The Shield I must have a conspiracy?" Cole asked, enjoying this bit of banter with his broadcast partner.

"Exactly." JBL answered, grinning.

"I GIVE UP!" Cole exclaimed, throwing his hands up in defeat.

Even The Shield had to laugh at this exchange.

Seth was just leaning on the ropes, watching JBL and Cole have a good-natured arguement. "Can't even support faces without it being a conspiracy." Cole grumbled in his chair.

"Can you believe these two Layla?" Dean asked, grinning as he chomped on his gum.

"Barely." Layla smiled. "I love hearing Cole and JBL argue with each other." She giggled.

"You and McCool ever argue like that?" Roman laughed.

"Yeah we argued sometimes but not like this." Layla laughed with him.

"You two were a cute couple." Dean teased.

"Yeah we were. Real talk." Layla giggled.

Meanwhile back in her Houston home, Michelle McCool-Callaway smiled at her TV. "I'm so proud of you Lay."

"Enjoying the show?" her husband Mark "The Undertaker" Calaway said with a smile while he entered the living room just to check on his wife.

"Yeah baby, come here and sit with me." Michelle giggled.

Mark did just that, happily walking to the couch and sitting next to his lovely wife so they could enjoy the show together.

Michelle lovingly wrapped an arm around the big Texan and cuddled close to him. "Lay's making the best move she can right now. Don't you think sweetie?"

"Yeah of course she is." Mark answered with a little smile on his face from the feel of his wife cuddling with him."She's working with AJ and The Shield. She's a big star who's with other big stars now."

"Yeah. I'm glad she's finally gotten past the stupid stigma that she was only my lackey because she wasn't. Layla was just as good as me if not a smidge better in some areas. She deserves her just due, though she can't exactly compete for the championship with AJ holding it. Lay tells me AJ and Dean have gotten real serious. Whattya make of it Marky?" Michelle giggled, using her cute pet name for the intimidating Texan.

Mark let out a small chuckle at the sound of his darling wife's pet name for him. "Well I like it. AJ and Dean look like a good couple and they have great chemistry together. I like it."

Michelle smirked a little. "Don't forget about our chemistry big boy." She purred with desire in her husband's ear.

Mark smirked as he heard the seductive purr in his wife's voice. "I got a feeling you don't care about this right now." He drawled softly.

"Of course I do...I just care about getting some lovin from my Taker first.." Michelle purred.

The big Texan then pressed the record button on his remote to record the rest of the show because by the time that he and Michelle were through Smackdown would be far behind them.

"C'mon." Taker smiled, standing up and then taking Michelle's hand lovingly so she could do the same with ease.

Michelle stood up, beaming.

Taker smiled back while sweeping Michelle off of her feet so he could carry her in his muscular arms.

Michelle smiled happily, cuddling with her loving husband.

The tall man happily carried Michelle up the stairs in on the way to their bedroom so they can have sweet sex with each other.

Meanwhile after the commercial break a loud "AAAAAAAAAAWEEEEESOOOOOOME!" came through the speakers to start "I Came To Play" it was time to introduce The Miz. "Introducing first from Cleveland, Ohio. At 6 foot 1 and 231 pounds, THE MIZ!" Lillian Garcia announced.

The crowd popped loudly with cheers.

Roman stared stoically at The Miz, not at all impressed with the Awesome superstar. But then tribal drums were banged, signalling the arrival of The Usos.

Roman subtly pulled Layla closer to him, wanting to protect the older diva from harm that didn't go unnoticed by Dean and Seth.

Layla moved into Roman's grip as the Usos did their Siva Tau war dance, The Miz, a babyface, bobbing his head in rhythm to the music and energetic yelling of the multi-generation champions.

Roman and the boys coolly stared down The Usos. "I don't like em, but they got some good dance moves though." Seth admitted as the Usos finished up their dance.

"When we say UCE! Y'all say "O!" Jey called out.

"UCE!"

"O!"

"UCE!"

"O!"

And then the young men did a hard stomp on the ramp which made a quick blast of pyro and flames explode behind them.

"Yeah their alright." Dean agreed.

But the dance and hype stopped as The Usos and Miz swiftly entered the ring to greet The Shield.

The referee stood right in the middle of the two teams as Layla retreated to ringside to watch the match. Once the Divas were out of the ring The Usos and Miz made up their minds on who would start the match, choosing Jimmy Uso to start the match.

The powerhouse of The Shield, Roman Reigns decided to kick things off for his team.

Jimmy paced the ring for a little bit, eying the biggest Shield member before walking closer to him and throwing a flurry of punches to Roman's head.

Roman took it, groaning in pain a little.

Thinking he had Roman on the ropes Jimmy ran at the ropes across from him bounced off of them to run back at him with force, planning a clothesline.

Roman caught him, smirking as he countered beautifully into a spinebuster, much to Layla's enjoyment.

The fans popped from the impact of the spinebuster as Jimmy grimaced in pain from the successful move.

"Yeah! That's the way Ro! You got this!" Layla cheered happily.

"C'mon bro! Get on up!" Jey called at ringside while The Miz had his eyes fixed on Roman who was back on his feet.

Roman smirked, pulling Jimmy to his feet and irish whipping him to The Shield's corner.

The Irish Whip was a success, throwing Jimmy into the Shield's corner.

Roman came charging full-speed into the corner.

Jimmy dodged the oncoming powerhouse just in time, moving out of the Shield corner.

Roman's head bounced off the turnbuckle, making the big man groggy, but Jimmy didn't have time to celebrate as Seth tagged himself in, giving Roman a chance to recover.

Jimmy was hoping to continue his surge of momentum but now he had to focus on the new legal man of The Shield, their fastest member, Seth Rollins.

Seth got a quick running start, trying for a dropkick.

It connected, knocking Jimmy down from the impact.

Seth covered Jimmy in a basic body pin.

Jimmy kicked out at right at two.

Seth grabbed Jimmy by the arm, pulling him to his feet.

Seth calmly hit a hard spin kick.

There was a loud *CLAP* from the impact of Seth's boot to Jimmy's sternum, sending a shockwave through his body. He managed to stand up however soon after, trying to catch his breath as he was doubled over.

Seth smirked, going for the Curb Stomp.

Jimmy took a deep breath and dodged the Curb stomp, moving back quickly just in time.

Seth landed on his feet.

Seeing an opening Jimmy ran to the ropes behind him quickly before charging hard at Seth, ready to try a shoulder block

Seth caught him with a back bodydrop.

Jimmy took advantage of his closeness to the ropes, grabbing the top rope tightly in his grip and turned in midair to land safely on the apron surprising grace.

Seth quickly turned and ran full-sprint to the one end of the ring followed by doing the same but to Jimmys side of the apron, giving a baseball slide with Daniel Bryan-like speed.

The sliding kick was a success, knocking Jimmy off the apron as his chin bounced of the metal ringside as he landed.

Seth then took off to the opposite side full-sprint once more and charged full-speed back to Jimmys side before leaping over the top rope, executing a beautiful suicide dive perfectly. The fans, even those seeing The Shield as heels, couldn't help but cheer with excitement for Seth for his display of athleticism as Jimmy was dived on. "The Suicide Dive connects! Big move by Seth Rollins!" Cole exclaimed.

"It's their yard Michael! Seth Rollins, the Architect of The Shield doing what he does best! Flyin' high and raisin' hell! I love it!" JBL laughed, grinning.

And to add to the tension Roman and Dean left the ringside apron, heading closer to the downed superstars and instinctively stood across from them. "And we got tension here at ringside. Roman and Dean standing right across from Jey and The Miz. This tag team match looks like it's going to break out in a brawl at any moment!" Cole yelped.

"Don't touch Jimmy, y'all. Get back!" Jey said, standing near his brother while helping him up while The Miz watched with balled fists.

Seth got up, crawling back in the ring.

Jimmy slowly crawled into the ring as well. Neither one of them wanted this match to end via countout.

"Alright we're going." Dean said with a little smirk as he backed away from his opponents. He couldn't wait to get tagged in.

"This is our yard. Believe That!" Roman growled.

"AND BELIEEEEEEEEEEEEVE IN THE SHIIIIIIIIIIIELD!" Layla yelled

The Miz sneered while Jey smirked at them. The only thing they believed in right now was that they were going to beat The Shield tonight.

"Looks like the new Lady of the Shield has the utmost support in her team like she should." JBL said with a smile as he saw Layla finish the Shield's trademark catchphrase as Seth and Jimmy got to their feet.

Dean and Roman got up on their corner's apron, smiling in approval at Seth.

Seth smirked as he got up to his feet before Jimmy. He grabbed the Uso in a headlock and quickly pulled him to his corner in Dean's direction, tagging him in.

Dean smirked, kicking Jimmy in the stomach.

Jimmy dropped to a knee, clutching his stomach in pain.

Dean smirked, trying a snap DDT.

Jimmy then threw one punch, then another to get him to loosen his grip before attempting a counter neckbreaker.

Dean sold it well as his eyes widened in unstable rage as his tongue hung out a bit.

"Look at Dean, it's like he enjoyed getting hit by that move!" Cole exclaimed from the sight of Dean's display of craziness as Jimmy staggered to the corner to tag in his brother, Jey.

"He's the Lunatic Fringe, why don't you tell him that?" JBL laughed.

"I like it here behind this safe announcers table thank you watching the action as Jey gets tagged in!" Cole exclaimed.

Dean jumped to his feet, a slightly unhinged smile on his face.

"Mmmmm, that's my Dean." AJ purred, licking her lips at the sight of her boyfriend having an adrenaline rush. "This won't last long now." She said with a little smirk.

Dean charged Jey only to poke him in the eye, much to the glee of Layla.

Jey stumbled back, covering his eyes through the pain of Dean's finger poke as Miz was irate. "You can't hit him clean?!" The Awesome One yelled.

"Ohhhh you wanna do this again? You wanna do it again?! LET'S DO IT RIGHT NOW! And this time I promise I'm not leavin' this ring without takin' a piece'a you with me! LETS DO THIS RIGHT NOW!" Dean yelled, daring Miz to tag himself in, with a twisted grin.

The ref tried to maintain order, keeping between Dean and The Miz as Jey recovered his vision. "Come on ref leave them alone. I want Dean to beat up Mizzy!" Layla taunted from outside.

Dean smirked, turning back to Jey and delivering a crisp German Suplex.

The German Suplex worked wonders on Jey, dropping him properly on his neck with ease.

Dean grinned, his tongue hanging out as he mounted Jey, unloading on him.

One punch, then another then another as the ref started to count, warning the Lunatic Fringe that he had until five seconds to stop raining fists on Jey's head.

At four, Dean broke it. "I have till five, ref!" Dean growled, his eyes twitching, much like his girlfriend's would.

"I was warning you, come on!" the ref yelled, backing down a little in his reply to the superstar as AJ yelled at the TV in her boyfriend's defense. "Don't talk to my Deanie like that, he was gonna stop at five!" She snapped.

Dean backed off Jey, slapping himself to calm down. "This guy's nuts Michael. He needs to be in a rubber room." JBL mused.

Jey covered his face in pain, trying to shake the cowbebs from his ehad after being punched in his temples from Dean as he slowly tried to stand up. However backstage AJ wasn't amused by the comments of the one John Bradshaw Layfield. "Shut up you retired redneck!" she yelled at her TV monitor in anger from the Texan's remark.

Dean shook his head as he smiled psychotically. "Come on Jey! COME ON!" Dean screamed as he started laughing.

Jey was anxious to knock the smile off of Dean's crazy, psychotic, mug. To show some life and anger he fired one quick punch to his stomach.

Dean grimaced a little. He hated getting hurt.

The fans swelled with cheers as they sensed a comeback while Jey got up to his feet with another punch to the body and one more to the head before grabbing Dean's arm for an Irish Whip into his corner, close to Jimmy.

"No...nooooo..come on Deanie fight back!" AJ said with some anger and worry in her voice as she watched the match unfold backstage. Things were looking so good for her team until now.

"Come on! Ambrose, get your head in the game man!" Seth, The Architect of the team as he'd been affectionately dubbed shouted.

The whip was a success as Jey smiled, feeling momentum build for him now.

"UCE!"

"O!"

Jey played to the crowd one time before running towards Dean to attempt a running splash in the corner.

Dean slipped out of the way, countering with a neckbreaker.

It was a success, dropping Jey down on his neck from the impact as the buzzing crowd quieted down from Dean's move.

As Dean crawled closer to his corner Jey crawled closer to his, noticing the extended hand of The Miz. "TAG ME MAN! I WANT IN! I WANT IN!" The Awesome superstar declared as the crowd buzzed with anticipation.

All of that was happening while backstage AJ watching with widened eyes as Dean crawled to his corner, seeing the extended hand of the freshest man in The Shield, Roman Reigns. "Tag me, I got this!" He yelled.

Dean grinned, tagging his best buddy Roman in.

And Jey successfully lunged out to tag in the Miz, much to the crowd's delight.

Roman calmly entered the ring, surveying his surroundings.

Miz wasted no time going in for the attack, starting with a running dropkick to the larger star.

Roman's balance was thrown off as he tumbled over the top..

The Miz rolled over quickly, trying to get to his feet as fast as he could since he knew The Shield wasn't done.

Seth then came charging in..

The Miz showed some quick fight with snapping punches to Seth's stomach before attempting a DDT.

Seth sold it well, rolling out of the ring.

The Miz had an angered, adrenaline-driven look on his face once he got up to his feet. He had successfully dismissed two out of the three Hounds of Justice and was feeling good about himself.

Dean rushed back in the ring, frantically chop blocking Miz.

And The Miz dropped like a stone, favoring his legs in pain as the fans groaned in surprise before jeering Dean for the dirty shot.

"BELIEEEEEEEEEEVE IN THE SHIIIIIIIIIIELD!" Dean screamed, right along with his ladies.

"Believe This!" Jimmy Uso yelled as he ran towards Dean, charging hard and fast with a clothesline attempt to take advantage of how close Dean was to the ropes.

Dean groaned softly as he flipped over the top.

Jey then dashed into the ring to continue the offense that his brother started. He grinned happily as he again played to the crowd.

"UCE!"

"O!"

He yelled out loud and clear before running to the nearest turnbuckle across from him and diving off of it which took out Dean, Seth, and his brother Jimmy as well.

What they didn't realize was that Roman was still legal as he slipped back in the ring..

The Miz got up, saw the carnage and smirked with pride. With Dean and Seth down at ringside it looked like he had the ring to himself but little did he know that the powerhouse of The Shield, the biggest Hound of Justice, and the legal man, Roman Reigns was in the ring now.

The Awesome Superstar was now a sitting duck.

Roman smirked, charging in at full-speed right as Miz turned around...

"And the Miz is up, observing the carnage and OH MY GOD WHAT A SPEAR! Where did Roman come from?!" Cole explained over the cheerful squeal of Layla at ringside from the sight of Roman hitting a successful spear on the Cleveland native.

"YES YES YES, YOU GO ROMEY!" AJ screamed at her monitor as Roman settled in for the easy pin.

"ONE! TWO! THREE!" The referee counted along with the fans cheers. The Miz was down, out, and defeated as Special Op played.

Roman stood back up, letting out his signature Samoan warrior scream.

Layla quickly entered the ring with a happy smile on her face and then jumped onto him, holding him tightly with a smile on her face. "You did it..I'm so proud of you."

Roman ran his hand through his stringy black hair shyly. "Aw, it was nothin." He said. Dean & Seth got up and back into the ring, seeing Layla and their buddy embrace, Seth gave Dean a knowing smirk.

Blushing lightly in innocence and smiling in joy Layla did what she felt would come naturally, she kissed Roman right in front of the viewing crowd around the world, much to Dean's approval, "I knew they'd do it." he smirked and nodded as well. He was pleased and happy that Roman and Layla got together as the match's highlights played.

Roman gently snaked his arms around the lithe Brit, kissing her deeper.

Layla closed her eyes, enjoying the kiss as Roman deepened it. She held it for a few fateful seconds before breaking it, just for the sake of air.

Roman smiled broadly at her.

"Awwwwwwwwww." AJ gushed as she saw her teammates Roman and Layla embrace and kiss each other in the middle of the ring while JBL smiled in glee. "Now this is the way a man should finish his match, celebratin' with his buddies and kissin' his girlfriend in front of the world!" He said happily.

"Why don't you just get your flak jacket already partner?" Cole teased, chuckling.

"I might do it, it's been a while since I wore black." JBL joked as well as giving a light nod to his APA days.

"Very true." Cole smiled as The Shield gave their trademark fist connection, the 4 in perfect unity...

Then as soon as the camera zoomed in on the victorious four in the middle of the ring while The Miz and Usos retreated up the stage a loud and quick, "DEATH" was heard with the flash of a man in a sheep mask.

"Aw no.." Cole groaned.

All members of The Shield were looking at the titantron as the Wyatt Family appeared with all three members on the screen with Bray Wyatt in the middle, "Looks like the Hounds have a new playmate." Bray said with a little chuckle, referring to Layla. "Somebody else to run wild with in the valley of the stars for all to see." He added softly.

Dean had grabbed a mic. "Finish your spiel, Bray, what the hell are you talking about?!" He yelled.

"So wild, so impatient you are Ambrose, but while you have two ladies on your team I have a lioness, a goddess of war, a sister, and a chaser of the fire," Bray smiled as he, Erick Rowan, and Luke Harper stepped aside fo reveal a female figure who was wearing a long sheer dress and a sheep mask like the one Rowan had on.

"So..who the hell is she? Take off the mask and show us your face sweetheart." Ambrose drawled.

The woman just stood there like a statue, not showing any sign of movement from Dean's words. Instead she waited for the cue of her brother once he started to speak. "Nobody in the world expected this. A grown woman with such pride and power giving her soul to the cause of truth. She was strong before but now...she's a maven, she is infamous, and she is going to set the world ablaze with her sight!"

"Oh for the love of all that's sane Bray, just let her remove the freakin' mask!" Dean yelled, starting to lose his temper.

Bray couldn't help but smirk. He liked how the anticipation and suspense was killing Dean and the rest of the viewing public. "Go ahead. Let the world see who you are...Abigail Wyatt." That was when the woman slowly removed her sheep mask and revealed her face. This woman was none other than one of the most popular divas from NXT, a British Native, and one of the most powerful and skilled Divas in the company's history...Paige.

To be continued...
