WWE WrestleMania XXX

Mercedes-Benz Superdome

New Orleans, Louisiana

Daphne was rushing in her low rise referee shirt and black short shorts with her ring boots. She, The Shield, New Age Outlaws and Glen Jacobs, also known as Kane were informed moments ago that it was either the opening segment with Hogan, Rock and Austin or the Triple H/Daniel Bryan match that went over time and that they had to rush this match. She was shocked that this match had to be rushed. It almost made her pissed off with the desire to start an argument, but she couldn't do that due to them being in a hurry. She looked into the mirror, staring at her reflection one last time. Her long jet black hair was straight and her eyelashes looked full with the black eyeliner and some black eye shadow.

She then tagged Colby on the shoulder as soon he was through with his stretches, "So, are we just going to do the highlights in the match? Glen told me that we're just doing those amazing spots that will obviously make you guys look good. Have you figured out which spots in particular you were going to do?" she asked him as Colby groaned. There was a ton of spots that he had been working all month long to perform at WrestleMania, but when the producers said that he could only do a small amount of them, really made him rethink things. He couldn't imagine any of his spots being taken out of the match. It just seemed no way for him.

"This is so difficult. I can't just pick a small amount. I have worked so hard on these and I can't imagine myself cutting off almost all of them. They're giving us no time out there to put on a great match. We've have a reputation of putting on great six man tags and this has the chance to disappoint everyone. I've always been a crowd pleaser and you know that. I'm not feeling good approaching this match." Colby shook his head as Daphne opened her mouth in shock. This was not like Colby to be down, especially at WrestleMania. Everything had to be perfection, especially with the little time that this match is receiving now. In the WWE, things chance consistently and you have to be that person that is good to adapting to the environments.

"Sweetheart, you have always been good at being one step ahead of people. When Joe and Jon are in step A, you're already thinking of step B, C, and D and so on. Look, you're the Architect of The Shield. You're the glue that keeps everything together. Joe and Jon are relying on you to keep it together. You're part of The Shield, damnit. Do what you guys do best and that is winning!" she gave him a little shove at the opposite direction, hyping him up for the match. It worked by the look on Colby's face, in which a smile came shining through. Daphne lowered herself to the ground and picked up the mask that reminded her of those street gang members that would rob the nearest gas station. She handed it to Colby, who accepted it, "No more negative things from you. You got a match to get to." she smirked and turned away.

"I'm going to do the suicide dive with Jon and my signature flip. Outlaws confirmed that they are going to be on mic before they enter the ring. Kane's music will play and then our music will play and we have to hurry down the stairs, due to the time limit. We'll try to pack in a lot of moves and end the match so Cena/Wyatt can begin." Colby informed her of the plan as she turned around. His voice had that control to make her stop walking and turn around to hear what he had to say. With some people, it would be Jon that would compel you to stop doing whatever you are doing and pay attention, but not to Daphne. It was Colby for her.

"Just win the damn match." Daphne said, a grin appearing on her face as she turned on her heel and walked away.

Man did she look stunning to him?


Sellouts by Breathe Carolina played throughout the arena to mixed reactions due to what happened on Smackdown two weeks ago. Daphne Anne came out and sprinted to the ring, knowing of the time constraint they were on for this match. She stood in the center of the ring as she waited for the wrestlers in this match up. The New Age Outlaws theme as Billy Gunn and Road Dogg, with a microphone came out with a bunch of heat from the WWE Universe.

"You damn right! You see The Outlaws representing The Authority at WrestleMania XXX," Road Dogg shouted as the WWE Universe booed louder. Daphne stood inside the ring with her hands on her hips, waiting for them to get inside the ring, "You see the Hounds of Justice are about to learn a lesson in humility!"

Shield

The entrance music of The Shield blared as the WWE Universe looked to their nearest stairs in hope that The Shield will come to the ring in their area of stairs. Along with The Outlaws, Daphne looked around to the stairs, in which The Shield could be coming out of. This was not supposed to be happening. Kane was supposed to come out after, not The Shield. She hoped that there would be no other confusions and that The Shield would get down the stairs as fast as they could, and then Kane's music would play.

Things didn't go that way.

Daphne noticed The Outlaws talking to each other. Was it about The Shield's music playing before Kane's? Probably because she didn't know what the hell was going on right now! Kane's pyros went off as The Outlaws were scared. Kane decided not to wait for them, automatically going forward to the ring as The Outlaws were right behind him. Daphne, in her mind, knew something was up. Nothing was going right in this match, and it hasn't even begun yet.

Daphne stood in the center in the ring as the lunatic fringe Dean Ambrose would begin the match for The Shield and corporate Kane would start the match for his team. Dean began his taunting as Daphne motioned for the bell to ring, beginning the match. The two locked up as Kane threw him at the corner, throwing punches at him. Daphne approached Kane, stepping in front of him, telling him that he couldn't only punch a few times or she would have to disqualify him. With the opportunity, Dean was able to take advantage and return the favor by throwing some punches at Kane. Kane slapped him, making him bounce against the rope, but was able to prevent himself being thrown outside the ring and connecting with a clothesline.

Dean tagged in the powerhouse of The Shield, Roman Reigns as Kane tagged in Billy Gunn. Reigns clotheslined Billy to the mat twice, before going for a whip. Billy reverses it, but Roman was able to connect with a superman punch. To help out his partner, Road Dogg enters the ring, only to be superman punched by Reigns. Kane yelled at Daphne to keep order in the match as Daphne yelled at him not to push her buttons. The intensity of this match getting the best of her. Kane turns around and Roman connects with a Samoan drop before ramming himself against Road Dogg. Billy trying to get Reigns from behind, but rams into his partner. Roman does a DX chop and gives an uppercut to Billy as he gets out of the ring and runs to deliver a dropkick on the ring apron to The Outlaws. He enters the ring and connects with a superman punch to Road Dogg as Daphne tries to calm the big guy down. She checks on Road Dogg, who pushes her away as Seth didn't like that. Roman slams his fist on the mat and plans to connect with a superman punch on Kane, who has him on the chokeslam. Seth comes down from the top rope to connect with a knee to Kane's head.

Daphne informed him that he was not the legal person of the match, but Rollins ignored her and bounces from the ropes and flips onto Kane outside the ring. Billy kicks Roman, setting him up for the famouser, but Dean comes out of nowhere and begins to throw punches at him. Road Dogg pulls Ambrose out of the ring to throw him against the barricade, but Dean reverses that. In the ring, Roman delivers a superman punch to Billy as Daphne looks from the corner. Dean and Seth join Roman in the ring as they circle around Billy. Seth looks at Daphne, who knew what was coming next.

"Don't do it! Get back at your corner!" Daphne yelled at him as Billy looked terrified. Road Dogg was able to pull his partner out of the ring. Daphne stood near the ring ropes, yelling at The Outlaws to get back at their corners. Reigns takes her aside as Ambrose and Rollins connect with a double suicide dive to The Outlaws. Reigns turned around and shoved Daphne aside and connected with a spear on Kane.

"Kane told you to do what is best for business!" Road Dogg yelled at her, "You are useless! You are not what The Authority wants! You're useless! You will never mound to anything!"

"You got one opportunity to make things right, girlie! Be what The Authority wants! Disqualify him! He shoved you to the floor!" Billy yelled at her, pointing at Reigns.

"Do what's best for business, Daphne Anne!" Road Dogg demanded her as she stood there frozen, her anger boiling up, not wanting it to come out.

"No wonder, Natalya left you alone to defend your—"Billy's cheek was stinging red after a huge slap from Daphne, which got the WWE Universe a huge pop. Road Dogg began to yell at her more, but he ended up getting slapped too. Daphne turned them around as the two of them got a double spear by Roman Reigns.

Reigns tagged in Ambrose, who tagged in Rollins into the match as well. Daphne believed that those Outlaws got what they deserved, so she let The Shield connect with a double triple powerbomb—as it looked like to her that was what was happening. Seth pinned Billy to win the match. Daphne looked at The Outlaws, who were down and out for the night. She couldn't believe that she just left them to be mauled by them. They deserved it that's why. The Shield celebrated their ring as they looked at Daphne checking on Billy.

"Don't thank me—I was doing what was best for business." she gave them an emotionless stare, in shock of what she just let happen. There Daphne watched The Shield, standing united, knowing that the worst was yet to come.


"Didn't I tell you that everything was going to be fine with you?" Daphne Consuelos asked Colby Lopez backstage after The Shield's match. She had already put on her ring attire for her match against Brie tonight. It was a purple, shiny, spandex bra paired with a purple spandex pants and black boots. Before she went to talk to Brie, she wanted to talk to Colby, wanting to hear that she was right all along with the match. That he had nothing worry about with the time limit. The match worked out fine, it showed The Shield's dominance. What else could he possibly want?

"Daphne Anne Consuelos was right! Was that what you wanted to hear Oh, sage Daphne?" Colby teased her as she snorted at his dorky comment. She gave him a light shove as he got serious, "Alright, but thank you about giving me the encouragement to get out there and fight. If I didn't have a friend like you, I don't know what I'd do. I'd probably wouldn't have had the encouragement to get out." he smiled at her. Daphne looking down to her ring boots, trying to hide the tint of pink that had suddenly appeared on her cheeks.

"Thanks Colby, but the beginning was all screwed up. I mean, Outlaws never finished saying what they had to say, your guys' music went off way too early and Kane's music went off too late. My bra hook was undone when I entered the ring. I mean, everything was so fucked up." Daphne confessed as the only think that the two-toned wrestler got off from the sentence was her bra hook coming undone. There was always that no filter attitude that Daphne possessed, but he admired that she was never secretive about the things that she said.

"Um...I hope you're all secure. I'm glad that there were no malfunctions in the match. Are you all covered?" he asked her, uncomfortably. He didn't know what else to say about her. Their conversation right now got uncomfortable with that comment, but he refused to make her see that he felt that way about her. Daphne laughed at his comment and placed her hand on his shoulder and moved it down to his arm.

"I am. Thank you for asking! Wish me luck! I'm going to find Brie for our match. Will you watch it?" Daphne fluttered her eyes, giving him a grin that he couldn't refuse.

"Certainly. Good luck out there, sweetheart."

He said that word that made her heart flutter like a butterfly and she was ready to go.


Things going on before the match started? Hmm.. could anything or anyone be responsible for that? Also, Colby and Daphne's relationship building up a little more. That is always a good thing.
