The new year had arrived with it the injury of Jon, Saraya was shocked to learn he had been wrestling with an injury although she knew she shouldn't have been surprised. Everyone was planning for the beginning of the road. The Royal Rumble. Some were even planning for the first ever Mix Match Challenge, Paige had debut her new stable just after survivor series and smiled when another trio similar to her own appeared on SmackDown Live. With Jon's injury the Shield plans had been put on hold for the time being, Jason Jordan had replace him in the tag team match on Christmas day winning his first Raw Tag Team Championship and his third over all with the company.

Tonight Stephanie was going to be backstage along with her husband, although she wouldn't appear on TV, The Authority was gone Paige had succeeded with her mission and left Kurt Angle to run the entire show. Although he was all to aware of what she was cable of when she set her mind to something, after all he seen how she changed what it meant to be in a team with the Shield, and she started an entire revolution, not to mentioned destroying the Authority in retaliation for Stephanie causing the destruction of the shield. Now she was the leader of Absolution, a team of three woman who had put the Raw Women Division on notice, and had been destructive ever since. No one can been able to stop them.

At this moment in time Jason Jordan was in the ring, having just interrupted Roman Reigns. It was obvious by his expression Roman wasn't happy. Colby watched from the back with Saraya at his side knowing that tonight Miss Hell in Boots returns to the Shield. Giving them her support and guidance once again, but to do that she would have to put one Jason Jordan in his place. Colby smiled as he knew what was to come. They were all aware Nathan new what was to come, he just wasn't aware there wouldn't be any scripts, it was all a shoot promo when it come to Paige.

"When I watched your match last week with Samoa Joe man. I got goosebumps, it was like for the first time in my life, I felt like I was apart of something meaningful" spoke Jason, clearly seeing the confusion on Roman's features of why he was there, and hearing the WWE Universe chat You both suck!. "Man its just like you said, when someone messes with ones of us they mess with all of us. On behalf of my partner Seth Rollins, well I'm just going to say … well … hang on I just wanna say that you proved that this, this is your yard baby. This is your yard" continued Jason, watching as Roman just got more and more confused as he went on, although not seeming to take any notice of that. "I'm gonna say thank you" added Jason, holding his fist out like the members of the Shield did. Roman's confusion turning to frustration, thankful when the Burn It Down sounded through the arena, signalling the arrival of The Architect himself.

Seth happily came down to the ring with his Raw Tag Team Championship around his waist and microphone in hand, more because he knew who was to come. He knew Paige was going to come out sooner or later and confront Jason Jordan, giving him a piece of her mind and showing him what happens when someone doesn't respect the people who changed everything. She would be even worse when she was convinced someone was trying to replace someone in something she had helped with. Roman too smiled when he realised Paige was there and what she was likely to be thinking, she could be a scary person to be around when she wanted to be.

"You still have a lot to learn, now last week I had to teach you a lesson about team work, that worked out pretty well. But this week, but man aha we are really gonna have to work on your timing here brother" spoke Seth as he made his way down to the ring. Seeing the look of confusion come across his tag team partners features and the amused one to appear on Roman's. "I know you mean well but, you're kind of stepping on Roman's moment here alright" added Seth seeing that it wasn't quite getting through to Jordan, he knew if he couldn't get his replacement tag team partner to understand then Paige would, and she wouldn't be nice about it either. She may have Mandy Rose and Sonja Deville to help, but that didn't mean she couldn't take time out and give him and Roman that helping hand they appear to be in need of.

"This is everyone's moment. Just like we took care of the Bar on the very first night that we teamed together" replied Jason, a proud smile on his lips and a small sparkle in his eyes at what he had achieved, his luck had turned around so suddenly. From being removed from the Raw's men team at survivor series to being attacked by Triple H, even from losing a match against Roman Reigns for the Intercontinental Championship and being attacked by Samoa Joe backstage afterwards. "And now, we're all champions, and we run this show" added Jason trying to get the two in the ring to realise they were a team, although it was painstakingly obvious his tag team partner and the muscle of the shield weren't seeing the same thing.

"Hold, hold up man. Alright look man, enough with this we stuff. You're a team with Seth, and me, I'm the guy" responded Roman not being able to listen to any more of Jason Jordan believing he was a member of the Shield and had replaced Dean Ambrose, he found it amusing in a way, as he knew when Paige did appear she was gonna give it to him in a way he understood, more than happy to do what he and Seth couldn't. "And we're all champions" interrupted Jason, seemingly over zealous about what he was apart of or at least what he thought he was apart of. "We're not like the Shield but you have to admit, we're pretty good. We might be the most dominate three man group in all WWE" added Jason, not seeing the conversation that was happening between Seth and Roman as they tried to figure out what he was on about, it was clear they weren't on the same page.

It wasn't long before Finn Balor's music hit, he along with the remaining two members of the club on Raw. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson appeared at the top of the ramp, having heard what was said and finding it amusing, as the three of them could see what Jason Jordan clearly couldn't, and he like Seth and Roman knew when Paige did appear, she wasn't going to be kind about it, after all he knew what she could be like, he had helped her with her mission as had so many others, being released when her task was done just as he had promised to do. Now they no longer were members of the Family. They were still close to the point Finn would be weary if he seen her at ring side during a match.

"Jason, I know your excited to be out here apart of something big. But do you really think you're apart of the most dominate three man group in all of WWE? I've been running with Gallows and Anderson for ten years before you knew Kurt Angle was your dad" spoke Finn, he knew what was to come in terms of their match and knew Paige wasn't going to be coming out what poor Jason expected, after all he was expecting her when he, Gallows and Anderson appeared. "Anderson and I, won the Raw tag team championships, and Finn Balor. Well Finn Balor made history, Finn Balor made history by becoming the first ever WWE Universal Champion" added Luke Gallows at the three known as the club began to make their way down to the ring standing face to face with the opposite team well as two members of a team and another over zealous one.

"So just like you Jason. we're excited because 2018 is the year of Balor Club" spoke Finn, listening to the cheers the men got. He knew the WWE Universe we already imagining The Club vs The Shield when Dean Ambrose finally returns from injury. Their cheers gave that away, hell their boos to Jason Jordan's comments earlier on was a sure sign what Jason Jordan hoped for wasn't going to happen, no matter how hard he wanted to be part of the Shield, it was unlikely to happen. It wasn't long before Jason Jordan began to laugh slightly, almost as if it was a fake laugh.

"Balor Club?" asked Jason in almost disbelief at what he heard. "Please I'm happy to be apart of the champions club" responded Jason Jordan as the crowd once again erupted in boos, Roman shook his head in disbelief where as Seth's only response was to put his head his his hand, not sure whether to just walk out or question what was happening, as it appeared Jason had completely lost his mind of a few things. Namely where he stood with Roman and Seth themselves. "Champions Club, Champions Club. Is it some cute new version of The Shield?" asked Carl Anderson seeing the two members of the Shield clearly weren't impressed with the whole idea and taking advantage of the miscommunication, as well as Jason's assumption they were a team. "It must be because I don't see the lunatic fringe out here. I see the Architect, I see the Big Dog, and er. I see er, what that name? what's that thing we call him? Its on the tip of me tongue, it begins with an N" spoke Finn asking several questions, "Should I?" asked Gallows knowing what it was that Finn was thinking off. "Give it to him" responded Anderson, to which Gallows appeared to be pleased to hear.

"NEEEEERRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDD" spoke Gallows rather loudly while leaning towards Jason Jordan. Both Finn Balor and Karl Anderson had amused smiles on their faces, especially when they knew it was true. Jason Jordan had been acting like a huge fan boy of the Shield. The trio soon began to laugh soon after, Jason's only response was to slap Gallows around the face which almost caused a full blown fight. That being prevented by Finn and Karl holding Luke back where as Seth and Roman pulled Jason back, both appearing to question him, while it appeared to get heated between Roman and Jason, Seth once again being the one to talk sense into the pair of them. It wasn't long before the voice of the general manager could be heard.

"Woah, hold up there guys hold up. We already have a great show planned tonight, featuring Brock Lesnar and the returning Miz and I think I just found my main event. You wanna see these two teams settle this in a six man tag match tonight?" asked Kurt to the WWE Universe watching as Roman picked up his championship and the three members of Balor Club turned around to face the stage where he was stood with the microphone. "Then its on. Oh its true, its damn true" spoke Kurt when the crowd began to cheer. He returned backstage after that shortly followed by the six men in the ring, knowing they would be making game plans.

The camera cut to backstage to show, Paige had been watching the entire thing from the back, along with Sonja and Mandy. The two had been thankful to her for taking them under her wing, but they also knew she still had something to so with the Shield, after all after Survivor Series the three came to her, celebrating their win with her, when they reunited for the first time they requested they have Paige with them once more. They knew if the Shield was to be fully reunited it had to be made up of Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Paige. It had been that way ever since the reveal back in 2014. When the boys come back everyone expected Paige to rejoin them, something that was yet to happen.

"I think its time someone put Kurt's son in his place" spoke Sonja, she knew all to well Paige had wanted to go out there and show him what happens when you try and replace a member of the Shield. Sonja looked to Mandy spotting Saraya had fury burning rather brightly in her eyes, both woman placing a hand on her shoulder to try and calm her, although they knew it was easier said than done. The WWE Universe cheered when they seen her reaction to what happened in the ring.

"Calm down Paige, we all know no one is going to replace your brother in the Shield. No one is even capable of replacing Dean. Plus Seth and Roman wouldn't let it happen, and hell would freeze over before you even consider the idea. So if you have to find Jordan give to him so he understands that, then so be it. We can all before sure it will be a lesson he wont forget" added Mandy, before the camera's left them alone and the trio took a deep breath before going their separate ways. Saraya returning to Kurt who informed her of when she would make herself known to Jason, to which she smiled and skipped of. Colby catching her as she headed to the locker room. He knew she was still slightly down by the release of two of her close friends in Danielle and Tenille.

"Hey there" spoke Seth upon catching her, a smile on his lips as she gave him a hug and ruffled his hair with a smile on her lips. He knew that look all to well but returned the smile none the less, wrapping an arm around her waist and leading her to the locker room. Even now they still shared a locker room with each other. For the time being Nathan was in the normal men's locker room, an act that Stephanie had decided upon, as something the man in question had spoken out against on several occasions. "So you ready to tear Mr Jordan a new one after the match up tonight?" asked Colby, he knew his wife to be all to well, there was just something there, like she could flip as switch and instantly be in character, becoming this bad ass woman no one wished to be on the receiving end of.

"Yup, the poor bugger not gonna forget that one any time soon" replied Saraya, she knew for some reason Nathan had been looking forward to it, although she had no idea why. She had been told to act like she had when Stephanie had destroyed the Shield way back in 2014. Something she was happy to do as it showed she was still the Anti-Diva that the WWE Universe knew and loved so much. She may have refused the title of Queen but that didn't mean she was gonna let things go back to the way they were before she changed them. It wasn't long before they returned to the locker room, having stopped of at catering on the way there, getting something to eat and a few bottles of water. Joe was already in there watching as the show continued on, smiling when the duo entered the room hand in hand.

A few hours later and the main event rolled around. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson entering the arena first shortly followed by Finn Balor. Jo-Jo introducing them as they come out much like she did with the opposing team, Seth making his entrance first, followed by Jason Jordan and Roman Reigns. The match was soon under way with Seth and Finn starting off. The Balor Club working as a cohiced unit where as their opponents didn't seem to be. It was evidently clear the duo of Roman and Seth had a game plan, one that appeared to include keeping Jason out of the match as much as possible, the pair working as best as they could as the Shield members they are, showing that no matter what they were united. There were times when the "Champions Club" got the upper hand, such as using their abilities to do some epic moves and Seth even countering the Sling Blade, a move both he and Finn had in common.

It all started to break down towards the end of the match, Luke Gallows had knocked Jason Jordan off the apron who in response got into the ring and attacked the man in question, preventing the referee seeing the tag Seth made to Roman, and cause Roman to almost flip at him in response, his frustration for the younger man growing almost becoming angry. Jason had also made another mistake when he tried to help Seth to his feet after the magic killer, obstructing Seth view when he did finally see where Finn was it was too later and was on the receiving end of the drop kick into the corner. Finn quickly threw Jason from the ring and set up for his finisher coup de grace, quickly pinning Seth to win the match. Exiting the ring shortly after along side Luke and Karl who had been on the receiving end of Roman's anger, one receiving the Superman Punch and the other the Spear on the outside of the ring.

Roman re-entered the ring to check on Seth after the match was over knowing the pain he was feeling after being on the receiving end of said move before. Jason on the other hand paced around outside the ring, waiting until Seth got the corner before attempting anything. Seth only response was to give him a menacing look for the acts he had pulled in the match with had resulting in their team losing the bout. Only when he need he seen Paige standing behind Jason, a look on her pale features that could send shivers down anyone spine. By now the WWE Universe had erupted into cheers at seeing her there at the same time as two other members of the Shield. Jason having a feeling something was wrong turned around, wishing he hadn't when he seen the fury burning brightly in her brown eyes, his own response was to hold up his hands as if to surrender to her, and take a few steps backwards. He watched carefully as Roman handed her a microphone, knowing she was there for one of two reasons.

Paige practically stalked Jason around the ring, every time he stepped away from her she stepped towards him. He at least found comfort in knowing Sonja and Mandy weren't with her, he knew he would be in trouble if they were. He watched with terror as Paige placed the microphone on the steel stairs as she passed them, the WWE Universe cheers got louder when they realised why she had actually appeared. She hadn't come to talk. It was clear Jason had realised that as well. Roman felt for the boy, he really did but knew better than to try and do something, she was known as Miss Hell in Boots for a reason and Jason was about to find out why. In a blink of an eye Paige had slapped Jason stunning him for the time being, she took full advantage of that, preforming a drop kick, forcing him into the ring post which a sickening clatter.

She followed him as he crawled around the ring, a sort of evil smile passing over her lips. Seth had by now gotten to his feet with the help of Roman. Watching as she once again dropped kicked him, but this time only when he ran at her, taking out his knee and forcing him into the steal steps. Seth looks around the WWE Universe when he heard them cheering, knowing they probably wanted to see this happen since earlier on in the night. He watched as everyone else did as she was about to do something else, quickly realising she was going for her submission, Seth got out of the ring, wrapping his arms around Paige was stopping her from continuing his attack. Roman had also gotten from the ring, only making sure Jason was still able to move on his own. He figured the most he suffered was a bruised ego especially he had been on he receiving end of a beating from none other than Paige herself.

Once at the top of the stage Seth released his grip a little bit, still not fully letting her go especially since she had put up a fight when he pulled her to the stage in the first place. It wasn't long before Jason's heavy breathing could be heard on the mic, Roman was half way between him and Seth with Paige. He hoped Jason didn't do anything stupid, although he had feeling the kid was going to. After all this was the first time he had been with them and seen this side of Paige.

"What … what the hell ….. was that for?" asked Jason while trying to get his breath back. Not understanding why she had suddenly appeared and attacked him like that. In his eyes he had done anything to her. He had only done what he was thought was right. Roman shook his head upon hearing the question, returning to Seth and Paige and holding the microphone to her so she could speak, since Seth had refused to release her arms. Seth had figured what his tag team partner for the time being had done, and knew threw it Paige was unlikely to get on with him. She was who could hold a grudge for years if she had to.

"What did you do? You didn't listen, you tried to replace my brother in the Shield, when that didn't work you tried to replace the shield with the Champions Club. Then you had the nerve to say you didn't do anything during the match when you distracted the frigging referee preventing the tag, and you stopped Seth from seeing where Finn was which cost the entire team the match. A champion you maybe Jason but apart of this team your not" almost shouted Paige, making it clear the question had only wound her up more. Roman dropped the microphone after that while Seth pulled Paige backstage, leaving Jason bewildered in he ring, realising his mistakes as her words rang in his ears. Only now did he understand what he had done and knowing there was nothing he could do to avoid her wrath.
