Sunday morning dawned with irritation for Tasha as she looked in the bathroom mirror. Her eyes were both a dark shade of black by now, and despite hearing Stephanie and Hunter's voices in her head, she fought with herself to not grab her foundation makeup.
Not giving into her temptation she grabbed her duffel bag containing her clothes for that evening and walked out into the living area where her daughter was watching cartoons.
"You ready to go monkey?" Tasha asked, using her nickname for her daughter.
Kailynn smiled up at her before jumping to her feet. "Yeah!"
The two grabbed their jackets and walked out of the room, heading down to the lobby to meet up with her family. After gathering up her family members they walked out of the hotel and climbed into the rig, then Daryl drove them back to the arena.
As they pulled into the parking garage, Tasha gave out everyone's VIP passes that allowed them backstage with her. As they walked through the backstage area the family was greeted by the superstars and divas that they had previously met. They arrived at one of the locker rooms and Tasha knocked on the door before she opened it. As they stepped through Kailynn was the first to notice the two men inside.
"Uncle Joe! Uncle Jon!" The little girl ran into the room launching herself into the muscled arms of Joe, who laughed loudly as he picked her up.
"Hey little one."
Joe then passed her off to Jon who gave her a hug and kiss on her forehead, before he set her back down.
Tasha saw Kailynn glancing around the room and knew exactly who she was looking for. She had hoped that Kailynn hadn't noticed their missing member, but as she always told people, her daughter was incredibly smart for a three year old.
"Momma where's Cole?"
She had trouble pronouncing Colby, so she always referred to him as Cole. Tasha sighed, kneeling down she smiled at her daughter. "Honey, Colby isn't part of our team anymore."
"Can we go see him? Please."
Despite her reluctance, Tasha couldn't deny her daughter's smiling face. She stood up and held out her hand, Kailynn slipping her tiny one into her mother's. "We'll be right back."
Tasha lead her daughter down the hallways until she found Colby's locker room. Knocking on the door she waited for him to open it.
Colby smiled as he opened the door to find Tasha standing on the other side. "Hey."
Tasha smiled in return, nodding her head down to her side. "She wanted to see you."
Colby's eyes drifted downwards where he found Kailynn smiling up at him. "Hi pumpkin."
Kailynn let go of her mother's hand and ran forward hugging Colby's leg. "Hi Cole!"
Tasha stood in the doorway watching the two as Kailynn started rambling on telling Colby all about pre-school at her daycare. She turned as she heard her name being called by one of the tech's.
"Stephanie and Hunter would like to see you."
Tasha nodded, "Okay. I'll be right there." She turned back to the two inside the locker room who were now looking over Kailynn's coloring books she had pulled out of her backpack. "Do you mind watching her for a few minutes?"
Colby shook his head, "No I don't mind at all."
When Tasha returned to the locker room she opened the door to find Colby and her daughter laying on the floor coloring in a book. She quickly snapped a photo of the two, she then smiled as she crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame. "Hey monkey." The two on the floor looked up at her. "It's almost time for the show, we gotta get you to your seats."
"Okay momma." Kailynn gathered up her things and put them back into her backpack. "By Cole." She said giving him a hug.
"Bye sweetie."
Tasha took her daughter's hand, turning back she smiled at Colby. "Thanks for watching her."
"Anytime."
"See you out there."
Tasha stood backstage stretching her muscles out watching the opening sequence on the monitors. She smiled as she watched Joe's cousin's Jimmy and Jey Uso doing their signature entrance as they headed to the ring to defend their tag team titles. She had avoided going back to the locker room, she was still upset with Jon and the way he was acting towards Colby.
The match was intense, but Jimmy and Jey proved why they are the champs as they defeated the Wyatt's to retain their titles. Tasha waved to Paige and Naomi as they walked towards the gorilla position, they were set to compete next for the Diva's Championship. "Have fun, ladies."
Tasha groaned as they again relived the night Seth turned on The Shield, but despite herself she actually watched it. She then smirked as they replayed the events from RAW, when Dean attacked Seth.
She turned towards the man standing beside her, she was set to stand by him as he did his promo.
The cameras started rolling and Siren came out to play as she stood beside Dean with her arms crossed over her chest, a feral grin gracing her face.
"Seth Rollins, you have no idea how badly—I wanna grab you by your tie, by the lapels of that shiny new suit and just rip you apart. But climbing up that ladder and grabbing that briefcase tonight means everything because in that briefcase is a contract for a WWE title match. So the question is, do I climb up that ladder and grab that briefcase, or do I use that ladder and smash your face in? Is it case or face? Case or face? Case… or face?"
He turns to look at Siren who grins wide and shrugs her shoulders, "Why not both?"
Dean nods in agreement, "Seth Rollins, you think of yourself as a master strategist, but you made a big mistake when you asked your daddy, Triple H, to put me in this match tonight, because when I walk out of Boston with that briefcase and a contract for a WWE Championship match, Seth, daddy's gonna be mad at you."
Siren smirked as the cameras cut off and the crew took their leave. She turned to find Dean still standing behind her. "What's up?"
Dean scratched the back on his neck and sighed. "I'm sorry. I know you were closer to him than anyone. I just—I can't forgive him yet."
"I understand that. I don't expect you to. But don't take it out on me, please."
Dean nodded, he pulled her in for a hug and kissed the top of her head. "You ready to have some fun tonight?"
"Hell yes."
The two took their position behind the curtain as they awaited Dean's entrance music. Seth entered the match first, followed by RVD, Swagger, Ziggler, and Kofi. Then it was Dean and Siren who entered the arena to a huge ovation from the crowd.
"From Cincinnati, Ohio, weighing in at 225 pounds, being lead by Siren, Dean Ambrose."
Siren smirked as she followed Dean down to the ring, her eyes falling on Seth, but his attention was quickly averted as Dean slid into the ring and immediately attacked Seth. The two brawled, rolling out of the ring onto the floor in front of the announcer's table. Dean threw Seth over the barrier into the timekeeper's area and followed him over still raining punches down on the man.
As the men in the ring started the match, Siren kept her eyes on Dean and Seth as they continued to beat on one another. She turned and winked to her family who were seated behind her on the right side of the ring as you walked down to it. Her daughter eagerly waved back, smiling and hollering to no one in particular, "That's my mommy!" It swelled Tasha's heart to know that her daughter was proud of her, even more to know that she was providing a wonderful life for her daughter as well as her family.
She had already saved enough money for her daughter to go to whatever college she wanted. She had bought her father a new truck, paid off both her mother's and father's Harley's, as well as her sister's new car. And she was secretly building her parent's a new house on a piece of property adjacent to her own in Nevada. She couldn't wait for them to see it completed.
The fight between Dean and Seth then moved into the ring where Dean slammed Seth's face into a ladder. He then laid a ladder down on the turnbuckle rope and gave Seth a suplex onto it. Seth rolled out of the ring clutching his back and Siren had to stop herself from going over to check on him. But he got back up and into the ring, nailing both Dolph and Kofi in the head with a ladder, before he got knocked to the canvas by RVD.
Rob then sets out to punish Seth by slamming his back into a ladder multiple times. He then placed Seth up on top of a ladder and delivered his "Rolling Thunder", landing on top of Seth on the ladder. Siren saw Seth roll out of the ring clutching both his back and ribs.
Minutes later Dean rushed back into the ring, Seth is already up on the ladder, Dean climbs up the opposite side. He grabs Seth by the pants, and wraps Seth's arm around his neck. Siren knows what he's about to do and she cringes as she watches Dean deliver a superplex to Seth off the top of the ladder. Seth's body hits the canvas with a resounding thud, both men feeling the aftereffects of the blow. Dean gets hit twice with another ladder by Dolph and Swagger, he rolls out of the ring and Siren moves to his side to check on him.
Again Dean and Seth climb to the top of a ladder, throwing haymakers at one another until Seth is knocked down off of the ladder. Siren rushes over to Dean after he delivers a DDT to Swagger who had pulled him down off of the ladder as he tried to grab the briefcase.
"Pop it back in." Dean yells to the trainer who sits in the ring beside him. His left shoulder had been dislocated after the DDT. The doctor's knowing he's in trouble, sends him to the back, taking him out of the match.
Back in the ring Seth sees his opportunity and climbs up the ladder, reaching for the briefcase. Siren stays ringside wanting to see the completion of the match. She watches in horror as Seth is dropped off the top of the ladder by Kofi, his body bounces off of another ladder that was perched on the top rope. But knowing she has to hate him, she keeps her stone face on, but inside she is worried about his wellbeing.
She is relived as Seth climbs back into the ring, albeit a little shaky on his feet. He holds a steel chair in his hand, an object that has now become synonymous with him. He swings it at Dolph who is at the top of ladder, the man drops to the canvas where Seth hits him in the back with chair.
She stands outside the ring as Seth climbs the ladder, knowing she has to play up her character, she prepares to jump into the ring to intercede….
When the crowd goes crazy as Dean runs back down the ramp and slides into the ring. He picks up the chair Seth had discarded and hits Seth in the back with it knocking him from the ladder. He then nails Seth repeatedly with the chair, giving vindication to them all after what Seth had done to them.
Siren watches Dean cradling his left arm, she knows it has popped out of place again. He shoves Seth out of the ring and begins to climb the ladder, Siren below cheering him on. But just as Dean reaches the top of the ladder and reaches out for the briefcase, the turnbuckles erupt with fire and Kane makes his way down the ramp. He grabs Dean off of the ladder and delivers a vicious choke slam to him. He then picks Dean up and administers a tombstone pile driver to the man.
Seth climbs back into the ring and favoring his left arm, he climbs the ladder and retrieves the briefcase. He smirks down at Siren as he clutches the briefcase. She in turn rolls her eyes at him and walks over to check on Dean. She cusses as Triple H and Stephanie come out to congratulate Seth as he stares at her from the top of the ramp.
Siren helps Dean back to the trainer's office, after making sure he's taken care of she heads out to find Roman. Along the way she finds Seth, unlike she figured, he wasn't surrounded by people celebrating and boasting how great he was. He was sitting on a crate in a dark corner, the briefcase sitting beside him.
"Hey." She said lightly not wanting to startle him. She waited a moment for him to look up at her, surprised that it was her standing beside him. "Congrats. I knew you could do it."
"Yeah." He said softly, before he scoffed. "You know, you were the only one who believed I could do it. Even Hunter and Stephanie had their doubts."
She shrugged, smiling. "I know you. I know how good you are. I never bet against you."
"That means a lot to me."
She nods at him before she turns to walk away, but she pauses as he calls her name. "Tash." He waits until she looks over her shoulder at him. "Thank you."
She gives him a smile and a wink before she heads off to find Roman and get ready for the main event match. She walks up taking her place beside him as they watch Hunter and Stephanie walk out to announcer's table.
"You ready Big Dog?"
"Let's do this." He smirks.
Sheamus is introduced first followed by Bray Wyatt, Del Rio, Cesaro, Cena and Orton. Finally it's their turn as Roman's music hits and Siren leads him out of the tunnel and down through the crowd to the ring. They hop over the barricade and knock fists before Roman climbs into the ring. Finally Kane makes his way to the ring and the battle begins.
Throughout the match Siren keeps a close eye on Hunter and Stephanie knowing that The Authority always has a plan b and she knows that she and Roman are not a part of that.
As the match winds down Kane and Orton have effectively cleared the ring of all superstars. Randy begins his climb up the ladder to retrieve the briefcase, but he is stopped by Roman who has recovered and slid back into the ring. Roman manages to bust Randy's forehead open, blood runs down his face as the two men brawl on the side of the ladder.
Before Roman can gain the upper hand, Kane delivers a choke slam knocking him out of the match. Kane holds the ladder for Randy ensuring his win, but one man ruins those plans.
Siren cheers as John gives an AA to Kane, then picking up Randy he delivers another AA planting Randy on top of Kane. She screams out in pure joy as John climbs the ladder and retrieves the belts from the hook. Knowing it will get her in trouble, but she could care less, she climbs into the ring and jumps into John's arms hugging him.
"Congrats J. You deserve it."
"Thanks T. Couldn't have done it without you behind me."
The two turn to Hunter and Stephanie who are furious at the outcome of the match. John holds up the title belts and Siren raises his other hand as they both celebrate with the crowd cheering them.
