Dean was bouncing in the passenger seat as he headed for the TD Garden arena in Boston for the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. His healing continued to progress well and he felt well enough to make an appearance at the show. Roman was fighting, he wasn't going to miss another shot to get back at him.

He looked over at his driver, the other man grinning as he drove. It surprised Dean that AJ came back two weeks after his first visit. Dean was enjoying AJ's presence the more time passed. AJ taught him how to FaceTime and they've been using that for the past few weeks every night. He looked forward to it, wore a grin on his face as he waited for the call.

"You ready?" AJ asked.

"Ask me that all the time man." Dean laughs.

"Just making sure. This will be your first appearance since the attack."

Dean nods, "I'm not really going to get physical with him, just be a distraction."

"So, what is the plan? You never did tell me."

"You'll see." Dean smirks, saying no more about the plan. He worked it out with Karl, Luke and Nia; but he wanted AJ to be surprised. No particular reason really, just wanted to.

Oh was he going to have fun tonight at Roman's expense.


Hell in a Cell: October 30, 2016

Dean hid in Luke and Karl's locker room during the show, watching from the monitor in there. He was happy to see his friends retain the tag titles. He did feel bad for Sami not winning the Universal title. Damn Jericho and his stupid scarf and stupid list and stupid antics. He hopes Sami will get another shot, he deserves it.

But soon was Roman's match. It's a Fatal-Four Way with the United States Champion Rusev, Roman Reigns, Cesaro and Nia Jax.

The story with this is that Roman felt he deserved the title shot since he's denied the Universal title, Cesaro's prize for beating Sheamus in the best of seven series was a chance at the United States title, and Nia feels if she's not allowed to contend for the Women's title since she's not a Four Horsewomen then she wants a shot at a male title. Also, she has a chance at history by becoming the first woman to win the United States championship. If Charlotte and Sasha can make history, so can she. So Mick, with his back against the wall, decided on the Fatal-Four-Way match for tonight.

And lately; Nia, Luke and Karl have been helping each other out. She's always at ringside during their matches and vice versa. She helped them win the Tag belts in the first place. The three haven't revealed anything in storyline, but some fans have theorized that they formed a new stable.

The match itself was great. Nia proved she can hang with the men, overpowering the three of them from the get go. Cesaro also ran rapid at one point, starting the Uppercut Train before it was stopped by Roman's boot. Other highlights include Cesaro lifting Rusev for an Uppercut, Nia landing a Samoan Drop on Roman, Rusev Spearing Nia through the ropes, Cesaro and Roman having a war with some chairs.

During the middle of the match, Luke and Karl set their plan in motion by sneaking Dean to the gorilla position. They glanced at the monitors to see Rusev and Cesaro nowhere in sight while Roman was getting ready for a Superman Punch on Nia. Dean's music soon started and Dean strolled out to the stage as the Tag Team champions left to enter somewhere else.

Dean glared at Roman from the top of the ramp as he took in the energy from the fans. They were going crazy. Roman glared right back and yelled something that Dean couldn't really hear. He smirked as he saw the tag champions rush into the ring and beat the crap out of Roman. Nia staggered to her feet and joined in on the assault. She decked him with a clothesline before Luke and Karl pulled Roman to his feet, landing him with the Magic Killer. Nia then landed the Leg Drop for the one, two, three.

Nia Jax is your new United States champion. First woman in history to win it.

Dean smiled as he watched her celebrate with the title, Luke and Karl standing back to let her have her moment.


After the match, Dean rushed back to the parking lot and got in the runaway car. AJ laughed as he sped off.

About ten minutes into the drive, Dean gets a text from Karl, asking if he and AJ want to hang out at a bar to celebrate Nia's big win.

"Yo AJ."

"Yeah?"

"Karl's asking if we want to hang out and celebrate Nia's win tonight."

"Are you up for doing that?"

"Think I'll be okay." Dean smiles as he replies to the message.

After getting the name and directions from the car's GPS, the duo arrived at the party spot. They quickly find their friends and join them at the bar area.

"There's the new champ!" Dean called as he and AJ sat down at the bar.

"How does it feel?" AJ asks.

"Cloud nine man." Nia smiles. "It feels so unreal right now."

"First championship in the company as well as the first female competitor to win the United States championship. You've made quite a mark Nia." Luke commented.

The five hung out at the bar for a couple of hours before they decided to crash for the night. Luke offered AJ and Dean to bunk with him and Karl, not wanting them to drive this late. AJ thanked him and accepted the offer.

Dean sent a text to Shane, letting him know the plan as he and AJ followed the other three back to the hotel. Nia parted ways with them once they reached their floor, her room being on the other end of the hall from them. Luke got their door open and the men started getting ready for bed.

AJ just got out of the bathroom when he noticed Dean out on the balcony. He walked outside with him, sliding the door closed before standing next to him against the railing.

"You okay?"

"Yeah." Dean sighed. "Just…wanted some air."

AJ nods. They stand in silence for a while before AJ decided to break it with an important statement.

"You know, this constant screwing each other over thing has to have an endpoint."

Dean sighs, "I sense it's coming up. I mean, I enjoy costing him match after match, but…we need an official match to settle everything between us. This…anger won't fully rest until I get my hands on him."

AJ agrees, "Survivor Series won't work since you both most likely will be in the Men's Survivor Series match. Rumble is the next best option."

"Rumble it is then. Survivor Series will be a preview." Dean chuckles. "This war between Roman and myself needs an ending. And I plan on writing it myself."
