Chapter 21
Raw was in London this week and Seth along with the rest of the Raw and Smackdown roster had been on tour for well over a week. Shaylynn had been working on the baby's room then she flew to London for Raw. Seth was so excited to finally see Shaylynn when he arrived in London early Monday Morning he went right to their room and saw that she was already sleeping. He kissed her softly before pulling her close to him and drifting off to sleep himself.
"I missed you." She said softly still half asleep.
"I missed you too." He told her kissing her again.
The Next Day after having breakfast together and doing a little sight seeing together they headed to the O2 Arena for Monday Night Raw.
"I still say you've gotten bigger since I have seen you last." Seth smiled staring at Shaylynn.
"I am an inch or two bigger. She is really growing and moving around a lot more for sure." She smiled.
"Well our daughter is growing." He smiled.
"She really is and she will be here before we know it." Shaylynn said as she was reading over the script for tonight's show.
"Wait? Your acting GM tonight?" Seth asked.
"Yes." She smiled. "Kurt couldn't make it to London and since I wanted to come my dad is giving me this chance. Of course it's Raw style so it's like a one night only think and like Co-Gm or something. But yes."
"Shay that is great. I was a little worried about you flying all the way to London I mean in your condition." He admitted.
"Seth I am just pregnant not helpless. Besides I flew in with Stephanie so it was on the jet. It was nice and relaxed." Shaylynn smiled.
"Yeah I know but that doesn't mean I won't worry about you." Seth told her as he kissed her softly.
"There she is." Dean said coming over to them and sitting down. "So looks like we are working together tonight huh?" He grinned.
"Looks like it."
"Really?" Seth questioned.
"Yes that is what I meant when I said Co-GMs." She smiled.
"With Dean?" Seth asked.
"Yes with Dean because it's going along with his story line with the Miz." She said.
"Yeah I get it." Seth said. "So your wife? She's around here somewhere?" He asked looking at Dean.
"Yeah she's around." Dean said looking back at the script for the show.
"Well I am going to check in with my dad before the show starts. Have a great show and just watch out for Joe." Shaylynn said kissing Seth as she stood up.
"I can take him." He winked watching her watching her walk away.
Monday Night Raw.
The show opened with Dean Ambrose walking back stage getting a phone call from Kurt saying that he was the acting General Manager for the night. Then his music hit and he headed to the ring.
"What's up London!" Dean said at the crowd cheered. "Now I just got off the phone with the General Manager Kurt Angle and unfortunately Kurt won't be here tonight." He explained as there were boos heard in the crowd. "Yeah I know. I'm sorry I think his dog was sick or something and you can't boo a sick dog you just can't. Fortunately Kurt knows a trustworthy person when he sees one and for tonight Kurt Angle has named me acting General Manager of Monday Night Raw."
As the crowd was cheering Miz's music hit and he along with Maryse headed to the ring.
"Funny you mention this Dean because I got a similar phone call from one Stephanie McMahon. Once she heard about Kurt's decision she knows what we all know you being left in charge Raw would be cancelled after one week. So she decided to have a co acting general manager and that person is ..." He said. When all of a sudden a new theme song began to play. "Firework." By Katy Perry.
"You just gotta ignite the light. And let it shine. Just own the night.
Like the Fourth of July. 'Cause baby you're a firework. Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!". As you shoot across the sky-y-y . Baby you're a firework.
Come on let your colors burst. Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!". You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down down down."
As Shaylynn headed to the ring with a mic in her hand. Wearing a cute pair of black pants and a white shirt that flowed a bit over her belly. Dean helped her into the ring.
"Miz. You are right Stephanie does have a co acting GM tonight and it's me."
"You? Really?" Miz said.
"Yes. Me. Stephanie called me and said that Dean was going to be in charge tonight per Kurt's requests and didn't think he was up to the job. No offence Dean." Shaylynn smiled and winked at him. As Dean smiled and winked back. "So she asked if I would help him with the show. So we are both in charge tonight."
"Well this is unacceptable." Miz said in outrage.
"Why? Because you really thought that she would put you in charge?" Shaylynn chuckled.
"Well yes. Yes I did." He told her.
"Sorry Miz but that wasn't ever going to happen. I am a Mcmahon. This is my birth right so damn right I am gonna take this chance and run Monday night Raw. See I am the forgotten Mcmahon. Stephanie has Raw and Shane as Smackdown and where does that leave me? So tonight is my chance to prove to my father that I have what it takes to run this company and this flag ship show." She stated as the crowd cheered for her.
When Braun Strowman's music hit and he came to the ring. Dean stood next to Shaylynn so that Braun wouldn't get to close. Braun began his promo talking about how he took out the big dog and when his arm was healed he was going to destroy Roman Reigns as long a he was still walking around he was going to be going after him and when that score is settled he wants Brock Lesnar for the title. When Kalisto interrupted and explained that Braun maynot be done with Roman but he wasn't done with Braun yet. So they set up a match for tonight Braun Strowman vs Kalisto.
"Great job you two. 10 minutes into being General Manager and you've already ended Kalisto's career. What's next? Electrified Ring ropes? A junkyard brawl? Jack and Coke on a pole match?" Miz said.
"Now I will take all those things into consideration." Dean said. "But I was thinking more in the lines of a match? One the fans have never seen before."
"And want to see right Dean? I think I know where you are going with this." Shaylynn smiled. "Tonight for the first time one on one The Miz vs Finn Balor in the first match of the night!" Shaylynn said.
"Yes love it! You heard it here first first match of the night is The Miz vs Finn Balor." Dean said as the crowd cheered and his music played.
The next backstage segment was Shaylynn and Dean talking to one of the producers with a clipboard talking about the show for tonight. When the Miz came in and interrupted them.
"What was that out there?" He asked referring to the happening that occurred during his match with Finn. Maryse getting banned from ringside and Dean restarting the match at one point so it wouldn't end in a DQ. Which lead to Finn picking up the win.
"What? I like .. No we .. we like to run a tight ship alright? We run a clean show." Dean explained to him.
"Clean? You haven't showered in a week." The Miz snapped back.
"I have a shower in my office." Dean told him.
"You have an office? He has an office?" Miz asked.
"Yes they both are sharing an office." The producer said.
"Look we have work to do. We have most of the show all done and scheduled for the night." Shaylynn said referring to the clipboard.
"Yeah we've been working hard with all the GMing we've been doing not sure what you've been doing so yeah you can probably take off then." Dean explained.
"WAIT! I had a very important Miz TV scheduled for tonight."
"Did you know about it?" Dean asked Shay.
"Nope." She said.
"My guest ... My guest tonight is one of the guys from One Direction." Miz said.
"Little George or Johnny?" Dean asked.
"That isn't any of their names." Miz said.
"Doesn't matter." Dean said.
"It's cancelled." Shaylynn told him.
"Uncancel it." Miz said.
"More action less talking." Dean said.
"You know for a guy who is talking about less talking you seem to be hold up in your office taking showers and doing nothing." Miz said.
"Hey you know me man. I came to Monday night Raw to get down I will take on anybody , anytime , anywhere." Dean stated.
"Oh really that's great! Shay put him in a match then."
"Already done. Tonight in the Main Event it's Dean Ambrose vs Bray Wyatt." Shaylynn said.
"Good!" Miz said before he stormed out.
Monday Night Raw was going really smoothly so far with the matches and the London crowd enjoying the show. The next segment was Charly interviewing Samoa Joe. As he was talking about beating down Seth Rollins. Seth attacked him out of nowhere during the interview. When security broke them up and separated them. So the GM's set up a match for tonight Seth Rollins vs Samoa Joe.
This match started off physical for both men. It was a give and take match for sure when Joe decided to take it one step further and not listen to the officials the match was ruled a DQ and Seth Rollins was the winner. Joe did not take that and smashed Seth's head onto the turnbuckle and then put him in the Kokina Clutch. As the official was telling Joe to release the hold. When Shaylynn came out to ringside.
"JOE! STOP! Let go of the hold NOW!" She yelled at him. "It's over!"
As Joe let go of the hold and stared down at a lifeless Seth Rollins. "IT'S OVER WHEN I SAY IT'S OVER!" He yelled. When he then directed his attention at Shaylynn who was more concerned about Seth Rollins in that moment. As they cut to a commercial break Seth slowly got out of the ring.
"Are you ok?" Shaylynn asked.
"I am fine." He choked out.
"Are you sure?" She asked again taking his hand as they walked back stage.
"Yes. That hold was a little tight." he admitted.
"The sooner this stupid feud is over the better." Shaylynn told him.
"Yes but you shouldn't have been ringside. You could have gotten hurt."
"Seth I needed to stop him and it just furthers the storyline. Not to mention we are fine." She said patting her stomach.
"Good that is what really matters." He told her.
Raw ended with the main event. Dean Ambrose vs Bray Wyatt with Wyatt picking up the win over Dean with an assist from the Miz.
After Seth had showered and changed his clothes Shay and Seth were walking around London.
"I hate that I have to leave you in like a few hours." He told her.
"I know. But I am just going to go to sleep and rest I am exhausted."
"I know. You need to get off your feet. When do you fly home?" Seth asked holding her hand.
"I am flying home first thing Wednesday Morning with Shane." She said as they were walking down by the river and could see the lights of London.
"This is so beautiful." Shay said. "I miss London sometimes. I am so glad that I got to come."
"I am too. I have to say you kicked ass tonight as GM and I know your dad saw that too." He smiled kissing her as they stopped walking. "Shay?" Seth as he grabbed both her hands to face her.
"Yeah?" She smiled.
"Life offers many challenges. I know I can meet them if you're willing to face them with me. Nothing ever truly made sense to me outside of the wrestling world until I met and fell in love with you. You've shown me there is a world to conquer outside of this. I know now there are many ways to be happy in this life, but all I really need is you. ShayLynn Mcmahon will you marry me?" Seth asked getting down on one knee and pulling out that velvet box displaying a gorgeous diamond engagement ring.
Shaylynn stood there stunned as she felt her chest tighten.
"Yes Seth! I will marry you." She told him as Seth smiled from ear to ear placing the diamond ring on her finger and giving her a kiss so full of love and passion. "I love you Shaylynn Mcmahon and I love you to sweet pea." He said placing his hand on her baby belly.
"We love you too Seth." She said as they shared another passionate kiss.
Thank you so much for all your amazing comments and reviews.
I kept going back and forth as to what Shay's entrance theme music should be. I settled for this song but if you have an idea for something more fitting please leave a comment or message me and let me know!
Please remember I do my best when editing each chapter but I often miss things. So I am sorry for any mistakes you may find.
