Raw December 25th, 2017

The Doctor was right, Dean did tear his tricep and would be out for atleast 9 months. He'd gotten surgery the day after Raw and was now home resting.

"There's no Shield without Dean." Seth said with a frown, the three us of sat in our locker room.

"You still have Roman & me." I place my hand on his shoulder and smile."He'll be back before we know it."

"I hope so." Seth replied sadly.

"I can team with you for the titles later."Roman offered but Seth shook his head.

"You'll have your hands full with the one you have now."

"I have an idea." I smile." I'll tag with you."

"You?" Roman asked a bit in disbelief.

"No way." Seth said dismissing it immediately.

"I've fought guys most of my time on the Indies, I can do it." I practically beg." Besides Dean said if anybody had to replace him it needed to be me."

"When did he say that?" Seth asked.

"Right after the surgery when he was high." Alexa said walking in, she looked extremely tired and stressed out.

"Does it count then?" Roman asked.

"Yes!" Alexa & I shrieked at the same time.

"Okay." Seth muttered.

"What are your thoughts on the Women's Royal Rumble?" Charly asked I fought the urge to roll my eyes instead giving her a very forced smile.

"Obviously I'm excited I can't wait to toss 29 other girls over those ropes to face the Champion." I smirked."This Barbie and Goddess thing is really taking off, so I think I want to challenge Charlotte."

"I think you'd end up back on Smackdown Live, if you did that Katarina." Charly explained while I shrugged.

"That's actually starting to sound really fun now." I smiled evilly.

"You think you could really eliminate everyone else ?" Charly backtracks.

"I mean I really want lucky number 14 so maybe I'll toss 16 of them over."

"How is your fellow Shield member Dean Ambrose doing?" Charly asked changing the subject, she was gorgeous but she bores me. I can't talk to her for longer than 8 seconds. She just bothered me for some reason.

"He's starting the long road to recovering and I can't wait for him to come back to us, he's the little big brother I never had." I replied with a small smile. It ended up dropping shortly after I saw Charly's frightened facial expression.

"You're welcome to join him." Samoa Joe spat from behind me, I slowly turned around and rolled my eyes at the sound of tiny high heels running away.

"Well come on then." I taunt with a smirk, I've been in some pretty intense matches with guys just as big as Joe, I was not afraid of him at all.

"Big words for such a small girl." Joe replied squaring his shoulders at me." Its a shame too, you won't be so pretty when I'm done with you."

"You won't be either." Roman bellowed from behind Joe, who slowly turned on his heels and scuffed.

"This is between me & her, run along." Joe dismissed but Roman stood his ground.

"You threaten my sister and hurt my brother. It's between us now, and I'm going to show you that later." Roman said angry." I'll even put my title on the line."

"After I'm done with you." Joe said looking at Roman before turning back to me." You're next."

"I'll hold you to that." I smirked as Joe stalked away."I could take him on my own, but thanks Ro."

"I was planning on getting him back for what he did to us last week, when I heard him threatening you though it just made me want to do it even more." Roman replied as we left soon after.

"I'll meet you back at the locker, I have to see if they'll stop being little PG weirdos and let me tag with Seth for that title match." I said Roman squeezed my shoulder before heading off.

"Mr Angle, just the man I was looking for." I smile as I finally locate the Olympic gold medalist in catering, he sipped his water before giving me a small smile.

"Katarina, how can I help you?" Kurt replied.

"So Dean & Seth were suppose to be getting a title shot tonight, right?" I asked Kurt looked at me a bit confused but nodded anyway." So what's going to happen with that?"

"Are you coming to me as a manager ?" Kurt asked which threw me off slightly since it wasn't the response I expected.

"As a Shield member." I clarified for maybe the first time outloud ever, I was so pressed to keep myself seperate from them but it's literally impossible. I'm literally wearing a Dean Ambrose shirt right now as we speak!

"Are you asking me if you can take Dean's place?" Kurt asked almost proudly the size of the grin on his face was crazy.

"Yes, I am."

"The WWE Universe would love that." Kurt says making me smile also." But I don't know if Stephanie & Triple H would be on board with it."

"Kurt as much as that woman belittles you for doing your job, do what you want. You're the general manager for a reason."

"You're just trying to talk me into doing what you want." Kurt said shaking his head." Go for it sweetheart, I'm rooting for you."

"Thank you!" I grab Kurt into a tight hug before bolting off as fast as my high heels would carry me back to the locker.

"I have quite the gift for you." Alexa smiled the moment I walked into the locker, I scrunched my face up confused at her as she slowly pulled out a little gift bag from behind her back.

"You know I don't celebrate it right?" I asked looking at the christmasy designs on the bag.

"Which I find pretty odd since it's not even a religious thing with you." Alexa smirked as I took the bag from her hands and looked inside.

"What is with you guys and giving me gear? Does nobody like my gear?" I asked dramatically while Alexa scoffed.

"You wear more black than Paige, honey."

"That's debatable." I retorted pulling out a small T-shirt, opening it up it looked like it would stop at my ribs. It said " The Barbie & The Goddess" Barbie was written in glittery pink and styled like the logo while Goddess was written in gold glittery cursive.

"You are going to be really pissed." She smirks as I pull out the black leather shorts."They were Dean's idea."

"If he texts me a million stumpy jokes I'm going to go to Las Vegas and choke him with my bare hands." I say with an eye roll before looking at her questioningly.

"We're making our tag team debut. We'd look cuter if we show some solidarity." Alexa explained.

"When did you do that?"

"After you left for your interview, it'll be us against Sasha & Alicia." She explained.

"Speaking of tag matches, Seth & I are facing The Bar later on."

"Should I be worried about you or them?" Alexa asked.

"Them." I smiled sinisterly I turned my attention to the tv which just so happened to feature Absolution vs Sasha, Mickie & Bayley.

"That's the exact same look you had in your eye, when you attacked me." Alexa commented as I started walking towards the door.

"I'll be right back." I called over my shoulder, I heard her chuckle a bit just before the door shut. I wasn't in my ideal run-in outfit (Dean "No good Dean goes unhinged" half shirt, skin tight black skirt & High heels) but I'd manage.

Out the back door

Goddamn,

But I love her anyway,

I love her anyway

I made my way halfway down the ramp to a pop from the fans. Resulting in Sasha taking her eyes off of Paige to yell incoherent jibberish at me, with a bored yawn I pointed behind Sasha. The Boss turned around right into a nasty SuperKick which kept her down for the three count.

Paige's theme hit while they celebrated in the ring, This was eerily familiar to my return. Paige moved out the way as I entered the ring, Mandy & Sonya eyed me up while Paige flashed a small smile at me. Mickie & Bayley stared in confusion as I grabbed Sasha by her purple hair and German suplexed her across the ring.

"What are you doing?!" Mickie yelled running up to me."She's your friend."

"She isn't." I retorted." And you two should go."

"You don't wanna do this, you guys can't come back from it." Bayley tried to reason with me.

"The longer you stay the longer you're dragging this out for her." I replied, they slowly turned to exit the ring when I was blind sided from behind, my first and only thought was "I really hope my butt didn't fall out."

I felt myself being turned over and Sasha started to throw crazed forearms at me, I blocked as many as I could before kicking her off me. We scrambled to our feet and started to really go at, I don't even mean wrestling wise either.

Sasha punched me in the mouth dazing me slightly before gripping my hair and flinging me to the mat. She threw a few more sloppy punches before I got back to my feet and kicked her in the stomach bringing her down to her knees. I kept punching her in the head until I felt someone pull me away but not without me taking a souvenir, a fistful of purple hair.

"Katarina it's over." Seth said into my ear as I kicked and tried to break out his grasp, Bayley helped Sasha out the ring while everyone else watched from ringside. Once the others left, Seth escorted me to the back. When we got to the locker, I was shocked to see the confused faces of Roman, Jojo & Mickie.

"What just happened?" Jojo asked.

"Sasha's been talking shit about me while I was suspended." I explained with a shrug.

"So our threesums over?" Jojo asked with a frown.

"Pretty much, I still love you though." I say giving her a quick hug while Mickie & Roman still looked confused.

"How do you know that?" Roman asked

"Paige, and I happened to overhear her." I shrugged once again as I grabbed a brush and tried to tame my hair.

"You need to change, your shirts all ruined." Mickie finally spoke." Are you okay?"

"My lips alittle puffy but I'm fine." I reply tossing my brush down and reaching into my duffle bag for my ring gear . ( Black racer back cropped top with iridescent lining, matching tights, with an iridescent belt and my black furry boots)

"You're competing?" Mickie asked as Jojo left.

"Yeah, I'm Seth's mystery partner." I reply.

"Goodluck." She gives me a hug before leaving next.

"Now that they're gone." Roman smiled before raising my arm."You're like a regular little Rocky."

"Dean is fast." Seth laughed as he answered his phone.

"Princess ! I didn't know you got down like that!" Dean yelled excitedly."Wasn't any slaps all fists."

"Of course, I will always be a brawler at heart." I reply as Dean chuckles.

"So I hear there's some sort of mystery person taking my place?" Dean asked sounding slightly upset.

"You'll be happy with who it is." Roman replies.

"So it's not some dweeb like Jason Jordan?"

"Gross his heads boxy as hell." I reply disgusted."Just know you'll be proud tonight."

"I better be." Dean says before hanging up.

"You've got to be nervous." Alexa said as she retouched my make up.

"It's just Cesaro & Sheamus." I shrugged.

"It is so much more than that, you know the last time they let a Woman fight for a mans title?" Alexa asked every female wrestler knew the story of Chyna, one of the most trailblazing competitors.

"Almost twenty years ago." I frown.

"Every milestone like this is an accomplishment for every last one of us, never forget that Katarina." Alexa said actually tearing up a bit.

"I got this." I smile as she finishes applying my pink lipgloss."Seth you ready?"

"Let's do this." He said confidently holding out his fist, I slowly put mine next to his followed by Roman. The three of us gave Alexa a look waiting for her to join in.

"Really?" She asked slowly adding her fist.

"Anybody that's going into a fight for any of us deserves for us to have their back." Seth said with a small smile. I fought the urge to roll my eyes at his blatant rip off of what Dean said to me a few weeks back.

"I'll do it this time, in Dean's honor." Alexa said slowly adding her fist, we gave each other a nod before slowly lowering our arms.

"Roman beat Joe, I'm confident luck is on our side." I smile."Asuka will not be winning that Rumble or going after you Alexa, I got your back."

"If Sasha tries anything, I got your back." Alexa replies as Seth and I leave the locker room.

Burn It Down !

"And their opponent from Davenport, Iowa weighing in at 217 pounds Shield Member, Seth Rollins!" Jojo announced as Seth stepped out onto the stage to a loud roar from the crowd. He waited on the stage until his music completely died down before speaking, I turned my attention to the monitor beside me.

"As everyone knows my Shield brother Dean, is injured. And I'm sure everyone's been wondering all night who would be on my side tonight to face The Bar." Seth said as the crowd ate up every word, a small Roman chant broke out but Seth laughed." Nah, Roman's great and everything, but I've got someone better on my side tonight."

Out the backdoor,

Goddamn!

But I love her anyway,

I love her anyway

The crowd gave a surprised pop as I strutted my way out onto the stage, before breaking out into a This is Awesome chant.

"And his partner, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Shield Member, Katarina Love!" Jojo announced with a bigger grin than usual as Seth & I made our way to the ring.

Sheamus & Cesaro looked like they were amused by me participating as I climbed through the ropes. Seth gave me another skeptical look as the ref went over the rules before holding up the titles.

"Am I starting or do you want to?" Seth asked as we watched Sheamus climb out onto the apron.

"I'll start" I reply. Seth gives me a small kiss on the forehead before climbing out the ring. The bell rings and the two of us stare each other down hard.

Cesaro grins at me before shaking his head laughing."What can you possibly do?"

"Are you really questioning somebody, you've actually helped train?" I asked cracking my knuckles before sending a flurry of offense to him, numerous kicks and forearms came at him one after another to the point he backed himself into a corner.

I slapped him across the face before ramming my shoulder into his stomach, he kicked me in the stomach before picking me up and placing me on his shoulders. He tried for a Samoan drop but I managed to wiggle out his grasp and land behind him, I hit a standing drop kick to his back.

He stumbled forward before slowly turning around, giving me a mean glare. He rushed at me and clotheslined me sending my feet flying over my head, I landed on the mat in a heap. He pulled me up by the hair slowly my guess to antogonize Seth. I managed to pull myself backwards out his grasp but I fell on my butt in the process, I quickly kick Cesaro in one of his legs before scampering to my feet and running the ropes, Seth tags himself in.

I spike Cesaro on his head with a tilt a whirl headscissors, while Seth boots Sheamus off the apron. Seth pulls Cesaro up and we hit a double superkick before I climbed out onto the apron.

Seth hooks the legs but Cesaro kicks out at 1. Seth pulls Cesaro up but gets hit with a swift uppercut sending him back a few steps. Cesaro grabs Seth into a tight headlock and forces him over into their corner, knowing exactly what was about to happen I tried to climb into the ring but the ref immediately starts trying his hardest to keep me out, leaving Seth vulnerable to cheap shots.

I finally give up and the ref turns back around Seth is in a heap at the bottom of their turnbuckle as Cesaro viciously stomps on him. He makes the tag to Sheamus , they pull Seth up and hit a high & low combo before covering him. Seth however kicks out at 2.

Sheamus pulls Seth up and sends him into the ropes, Seth rebounds back and hits a slingblade. The two lay on the mat for a second before Seth starts to slowly make his way to me. I stretch my arm as far as I can for him to tag but Sheamus catches him by the leg and pulls him back straight into a huge clothesline. Sheamus forces Seth in between the ropes and lights his chest up with the Ten Beats. Sheamus pulls Seth in and tags out, Cesaro hits a clothesline followed by a flying leg drop for another 2 count.

Cesaro flings Seth over the top rope and down to the arena floor, Cesaro rams him back first into the ring apron. I slip into the ring and run the ropes intending for a suicide dive but Sheamus uppercuts me before I can fully dive out the ring leaving me dangling on the second rope.

Sheamus grabs me by the hair and pulls me the rest of the way out the ring I let out a loud scream as he slams me back first onto the arena floor.

"Kat are you okay?" I hear Jojo's voice from nearby, I give her a small nod before forcing myself up onto my hands and knees. Seth & Cesaro are now back in the ring while Sheamus is on the apron most likely thinking I'm out for the rest of the match.

Seth is starting to get fired up in the ring, he's hitting Cesaro with a flurry of haymakers. I get to my feet and make my way over to the corner as Seth flattens Cesaro with a crossbody that only lands a 2 count.

Seth makes a quick tag to me, I use the ropes for momentum and hit Cesaro with my Handspring Phoenix Splash. Sheamus rushes into the ring and tries to hit a Brogue Kick but I do a matrix evasion, Seth reenters the ring and bulldozes right through Sheamus the both of them end up outside the ring fighting.

Cesaro spins me around into a European Uppercut, I fall down and he starts a ground and pound.

"Not so tough now." Cesaro taunts, I manage to rake him in the eye before kicking him away from me, I crawl away holding my cheek while he rolls around holding his eye. I slowly scale the turnbuckle, Cesaro finally gets his bearings together. As I go for a diving headscissor he manages to catch and powerbomb me, knocking the wind right out me. He pins me but I kick out at the very last second.

Cesaro rolls me into the Sharpshooter, I grit my teeth as I attempt to drag myself to the bottom rope. Without warning he leans back cutting off any hope of me escaping, I try and swing behind me to hit him but it doesn't even faze him. A frustrated scream escapes my mouth before the pain just stops. I roll myself over to see Cesaro holding his stomach in pain while Seth stands over him, he helps me up and we both hit back to back standing moonsaults. I hook the leg but only get a two count.

The ref forces Seth out the ring just as Cesaro gets to his feet, I set him up for the Cupid's Bow but he shoves me away, he goes to clothesline me but I duck it before hitting a standing drop kick to his back. I tag Seth back in, he flattens Cesaro with the King Slayer, Sheamus tries to get involved but I managed to use his momentum against him and launch him with my explorer Suplex, I heard the bell ring and whipped my head over quickly. Seth tapped Cesaro out . . . Using the Love Lockdown (Liontamer).

His theme hit as the ref presented us with the titles, I stared at mine in shock while Seth pounded on his chest.

"Your winners and the new Raw Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins & Katarina Love!"

Seth lifted me up on his shoulders while we both held the titles up proudly.

Raw Fallout

I have to be the ugliest mess right now, but everyone insists that Renee should interview Seth and I for WWE dot com/ YouTube. So here I am, with an oversized Black & Brave hoodie over top of my ring gear and my hair thrown up in a pony tail standing next to Seth.

"You look extremely emotional right now, Katarina so we won't keep you here forever." Renee says with a small smile as the camera man slowly counts down.

"We're here with our new Raw Tag Team Champions." Renee says into the camera I give a small tired smile while leaning my head onto Seth's shoulder.

"I couldn't have asked for a better partner tonight, I'm sure everybody was skeptical when she came out even I was a bit at first but she held her own out there." Seth grinned down at me." I'm very proud she amazes me everyday."

"And Katarina how do you feel?" Renee asked.

"Exhausted, sore but I'm proud this is my first championship in the 5 years I've been here." I reply with a frown." My issue is I never really go for it I'm amazing I don't need a title to prove that but this." I pause holding up the belt." This I did for Dean, I'm going to keep this little guy very warm until Dean gets back."

"I'll hold you to that." Seth says lowly as Renee gives us an aww look.
