Disclaimer: I don't own WWE. I only own Olivia Evans.
Summary: Before she accepted Dean Ambrose's offer, she was just another Diva in NXT. But that all changed when she accepted and was brought up onto the main roster along with Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns. Now, she will forever be known as the First Lady of The Shield. Rollins/OC
"DAMNIT DEAN! LET GO OF MY HAIR!" Olivia shrieked in frustration as she clawed at him. The two were currently in a practice match and Roman was the referee. Currently, Dean had Olivia in an armbar and was pulling her hair in an effort for her to tap out.
It didn't exactly help that Olivia had a pounding headache from last night.
"This is what AJ is probably going to do to you, darlin', I just want you to be prepared." Dean replied smugly, giving her hair one last pull before letting go of the armbar and slamming her down onto the mat.
"Fuck you!" Olivia hissed, glaring up at him before turning her glare to Roman. "Roman! Why didn't you count?" She whined.
"Because he's right, baby girl." Roman answered, leaning up against the ring ropes. Growling, Olivia hauled herself to her feet and locked up with Dean yet again, pushing against him to get the upper hand.
"Damn, these two really go at each other." Paige commented from where she was sitting on the barricade along with Emma and Seth. The two NXT Diva's had a signing later that day outside the US Airways Centre just before the Battle Royale for the NXT Superstars.
"It's goes from 0 to a 100 real quick with Dean and Liv." Seth said. He couldn't help but notice that Summer Rae and a couple of the other NXT superstars had stopped what they were doing and were watching Dean and Olivia, who had been wrestling for a while now.
"I feel like I'm watching a pair of wild animals or something." Emma joked as Olivia pushed Dean up against the ropes before letting go of the lockup and kicking him in the stomach and backed up a few paces. Dean however, used the ropes to his advantage and launched off them with a clothesline before dropping down into the cover.
"1… 2…" Roman counted and Olivia kicked out just before the three count.
"Kick out faster next time, Olivia." Dean told her as he picked her up and whipped her into the turnbuckle. Olivia hissed in pain as her back collided with the corner of the ring before sliding out of the way as Dean charged towards her.
Grabbing his head, she wrapped her arm around it and did a running bulldog and hooked his leg for the cover. Although that this was a practice match between her and Dean, she wanted to win to gain bragging rights.
"1…" Dean kicked quickly kicked out, elbowing his teammate slightly in the stomach. Groaning, Olivia looked over at the Samoan.
"Count faster will you?!" She growled at him.
Roman raised his eyebrows. "I'm counting fairly, Olivia." He told her, looking a tad amused at her anger. Olivia opened her mouth to argue but Dean rolled her up. "1… 2…" Roman counted again and Olivia kicked out just before his hand hit the mat for the third time.
"Damn, that was close!" Paige whistled as Olivia stood up and tackled Dean to the ground, hitting every inch of him that she could find.
"Don't make me start counting, baby girl." Roman warned her and she looked over at him before sticking her tongue out as she got off Dean. Focusing back on Dean, who had a crazed grin on his face and was clearly enjoying this as much as she was, she did a standing dropkick and Dean stumbled back a bit. Smirking, knowing that she had somewhat of an advantage, Olivia pulled him into a clothesline and he crashed down onto the mat.
Looking over to the nearest turnbuckle, Olivia tilted her head to the side before climbing up onto said turnbuckle, balanced on it precariously for a few moments before leaping off it in a diving elbow drop. However, Dean rolled out of the way at the last minute and Olivia crashed down elbow first on the mat.
"Ohhhh!" Paige, Seth and Emma all winced simultaneously in sympathy for Olivia who was clutching her elbow and Dean hauled himself up to two feet, picked Olivia up and hooked his arm around her face.
"The fuck are you doing?" Olivia muttered to him, trying to wiggle out of the hold he had her in.
"New finisher." He smirked before performing a headlock driver on her and covered her.
"1… 2… 3!" Roman counted and Dean got off Olivia, who was holding her head after that driver. They could hear some applause from the superstars who were watching them and Olivia saw out of the corner of her eye Summer Rae storming off in a huff.
"Jesus. What was that?" She asked, taking Roman's offered hand and standing up while Seth, Paige and Emma all entered the ring.
"Like I said, a new finisher." Dean explained, trying to catch his breath. "I've been workin' on it when I get time at the performance centre."
"Do you have a name for it all?" Emma asked.
"Not yet. I'm thinking Dirty Deeds but I don't think the higher ups would approve."
"I like that." Paige said.
"You normally don't give a shit about what management says. I think that you should call it that Deano." Seth chuckled, clapping him on his shoulder with the other nodding in agreement.
"It gives you a fucking headache, that's for sure." Olivia muttered and Dean snorted in amusement.
"That's the intention, darlin'." He smirked. The six got out of the ring and headed to the backstage area. Paige and Emma then had to go, as Triple H wanted to have an impromptu meeting with the NXT Superstars that were there and The Shield headed back to their locker room to get ready for the night, with Paige and Emma promising that they would come and hang out after their signing was done and watch the show with them.
After taking a shower, Olivia dressed in a Captain America shirt, a red pleated skirt, her necklace and black ankle boots. She also had a denim jacket on, as it was still winter and she wanted to keep warm. "I'm going to go for a walk, check out what's happening with the Battle Royale." She told her teammates.
"I'll come with you." Seth said, standing up. Saying goodbye to Roman and Dean, the two left their locker room and headed outside to the ring to see the last of the participants from the Battle Royale making their entrance.
"I wonder who is going to win this." Seth said, wrapping his arm around Olivia's waist.
"Well since you guys are not in the Rumble, I couldn't give a damn." She joked in reply. "But seriously, any one of these guys are deserving to represent NXT. They just have to remember that we are better than all of them."
"Damn right we are." Seth said smugly as the two stopped at the production area to watch the match. It was an intense battle royale, with all of the superstars wanting the coveted position in the Royal Rumble match later that night. In the end, it came down to Leo Kruger and Bo Dallas, with Bo eliminating Leo for the win and getting the spot in the Royal Rumble.
"Well. Good luck to him." Seth said as the two watched Bo celebrate with the crowd for a bit before heading up the ramp. The two decided to walk around the arena for a bit, trying to have some time to themselves which was rare since they were almost constantly with Dean and Roman.
"You know, I feel like we need another date night." Seth told her, grasping her hand.
"I was thinking that too. Are you a mind reader, Mr. Rollins?" Olivia asked him. "You should be a psychic instead of a wrestler." She teased him.
"I'll take that up as a future career choice." Seth snorted in amusement. "We're in Vegas tomorrow night. I'll take you out after the show and we'll go explore the strip. I'm sure that Dean knows some good places to eat. After you demolish AJ, of course."
"That sounds perfect." Olivia smiled, standing on her tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek. "I've always wanted to see the Bellagio Fountains." She admitted.
"Then that's the first thing we'll see." He promised her as the two continued to walk around the arena with the production crew running past them occasionally to make sure that everything was set up for the show that night.
"It's so exciting to be at the Royal Rumble, it means that Wrestlemania season is starting!" Olivia said excitedly.
"And I promise you that I've got a plan to make sure that we'll be there. In fact, we're going to start our road to Wrestlemania tomorrow night, no matter what Punk and Heyman say." Seth told her, a smirk appearing on his face.
"Oh? Now I'm curious." She said, wondering what her boyfriend had in store for their stable.
"You'll see, sweetheart." Seth stopped walking and pulled her into his arms. "You'll see." He murmured before covering his mouth with his own in a sweet kiss.
Royal Rumble, 2013
The Royal Rumble had just started with The Big Show vs Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship. The Shield were watching in their locker room along with Paige and Emma, who were looking like kids in a candy store while they watched the show.
"This is awesome!" Emma cheered as Bret 'The Hitman' Hart made an appearance. "I want a photo with him!" She declared.
"I'm sure that Nattie will be happy to see her uncle." Paige commented, leaning up against Roman as they continued to watch the show. "Also…" She added and banged on the bathroom door. "Livvy! Get your sweet ass out of there! The show's started!" She hollered.
"I'll be out soon!" Olivia replied as she applied the finishing touches of her makeup. She was slightly annoyed at the fact that she had to ditch her Captain America themed outfit but she knew that she had to keep up the bad ass image that The Shield projected. So, she had dressed for the night in a black crop top, black leather pants, her necklace and knee high combat boots. Her blonde hair was straightened and left out and she had gold eyeshadow on and red lipstick.
"I still don't understand why I couldn't wear that Captain America outfit tonight." She muttered grumpily, stepping out into the locker room.
"Because you have to look the part." Paige teased her. "And you look that part right now! Damn you for getting her first, Rollins." She joked to the two toned hair man.
"Snooze you lose, Knight." Seth smirked as he pulled his girlfriend over to him.
"Whatever." Paige grinned, leaning further into Roman. "Are we taking bets about who is going to win the Rumble?" She asked and the rest of the locker room made noises of agreement.
"Although we all know that I'm going to win. Just like last night, right Pale Skin? Or do you not remember that?" Dean smirked.
"Oh shut up, Ambrose. I'll beat you one day." Paige replied.
"And, like last night, I'll be the one dragging your asses back to the hotel." Roman added in his two cents. "And I'm choosing Jericho."
"I know you guys don't like him but Daniel Bryan has been impressing me for a while so I'm choosing him." Paige said.
"Traitor." Olivia told her. "I reckon that Cesaro will win it. He's crazy talented."
"As much as I hate the guy, I think that Ryback has a pretty good chance." Dean admitted.
"John Cena!" Emma proclaimed, jumping onto the couch next to Dean. "I want The Rock vs John Cena round 2 at Mania!"
"She's got so much energy." Dean muttered, looking a tad freaked out.
"What about you, two toned?" Paige asked Seth.
"I think Mysterio might win it. He's been looking not too bad since he came back from injury." Seth answered.
"That we might have caused." Roman smirked.
"Whoops." Olivia said innocently. The night progressed on and everything seemed to be going smoothly. To Emma's delight, John Cena had ended up winning the Royal Rumble match and it was time for CM Punk vs The Rock. As they were playing a video package, Olivia's phone vibrated in her hand and she unlocked it to read the message that she had received.
One new message: Paul Heyman
Remember what to do. My client and I will not be impressed if your team does not instigate my plan.
Biting her lip, Olivia started to wonder how they were going to get away with helping Punk with Paige and Emma still in the room. Fortunately, Paige made it easy declaring that she was hungry and that she wanted to get something to eat from catering and Emma decided to go with her. Once they left the room, Olivia turned to her teammates.
"Who thinks we should get a closer look?" She asked as the match began.
"Let's go now." Dean nodded and Olivia messaged Paige saying that they were going for a walk to watch the match somewhere else and would be back later. The Shield decided to watch from near the crowd and the lighting area. Olivia had decided to be the one to cut the lights this time, with Dean becoming way too obvious after doing it a couple of times now.
The match itself had been a fast, back and forth affair. The crowd was absolutely loving it and when The Rock started to get the upper hand, they started going nuts, knowing that The Rock was closing in on the WWE Championship. However, Punk kicked The People's Champion in the head, causing both of the competitors to collapse on to the ring mat, exhausted.
The ref began his 10 count, with both Punk and The Rock standing up at 9. Punk charged at The Rock only to be met by a spinebuster. Seth, who was acting as the leader, decided it was time and nodded to Olivia. Smirking, Olivia grabbed the switch and cut the lights before bolting down to the ring with her teammates.
They grabbed The Rock from the ring and shoved him out of it, with Olivia making sure that she bumped the ref on purpose, knowing that he wouldn't know it was her. The four worked quickly in destroying the announce table, with Olivia hitting The Rock with her roundhouse kick before the guys got him into position for the Triple Powerbomb.
"Ready to take a ride?" She hissed in his ear. Walking away, she slapped Roman on the shoulder to let him know that she was out of the way and the guys lifted Roman up and Triple Powerbombed him through the table.
"Oh my God, King! It's The Shield! It's The Shield!" Michael Cole was screaming at the Hall of Famer. Olivia frowned as she heard his words before someone grabbed her hand and led her back up the ramp at a run before the lights got turned back on. Once they got to the backstage area, Seth let go of her hand and wrapped it around her waist instead, looking incredibly smug and pleased with what they had done, an expression that was also on Roman and Dean's faces.
Olivia however, did not feel the same way.
"Cole knew it was us." She told the guys as they walked back to their locker room. "He was screaming that he saw us." She continued, slightly annoyed at the commentator for blowing their cover.
"Vince won't hear it." Dean smirked when they entered their locker room and the TV showed Punk and Heyman celebrating after Punk had pinned The Rock for the win.
"Did you guys had anything to do with that?!" Paige and Emma burst into the locker room seconds later.
"…maybe." Olivia answered and Emma's eyes widened.
"I knew you guys were working for Punk! I knew it!" Paige declared, scowling. "Why in the hell would you work for him?! That's just stupid!"
"Heyman pays us well." Dean said.
"We're getting paid?!" Olivia exclaimed.
"Guys…" Roman said.
"No, Roman. I want to hear this. Heyman is paying us?! When did this happen?!" She turned to Seth who looked slightly sheepish.
"Olivia. I'm serious. McMahon is out." Roman growled and Olivia shut up and they all turned to the TV to see the Chairman of the WWE standing on the ramp, microphone in hand.
"It seems to me that… CM Punk your celebration is over!" Vince began and the crowd roared in appreciation but Punk shook his head in denial. "I told you that if The Shield got involved in your match up, I will strip you of the championship!"
"You didn't see anything! They weren't there!" Punk protested.
"I know technically, we couldn't see The Shield involved right?" Vince asked.
"Oh God no…" Olivia whispered, her heart pounding in fear, realising that Vince knew that it was them who interfered.
"So that means we're all stupid, it wasn't The Shield! CM Punk… it is my duty as Chairman of The Board, to officially—"
"No, no, no, no!" The Rock interrupted. "We ain't ending this night like that!" He declared and the WWE Universe in attendance burst into even louder cheers. "You don't take it from him. I am."
"Are they really going to restart the match?" Emma asked.
"Looks like it." Seth said, frowning slightly.
"Restart the match, now!" The Rock ordered.
"You heard the man, restart the match!" Vince declared and Olivia turned to her teammates as the match was restarted.
"Ok. What was that about us being paid by Heyman?" She asked them.
"He came to us and offered to pay us for our services." Seth admitted. "I think it was when you might've been having a shower or something, sweetheart. Don't worry about it, he's splitting it up evenly."
"It still doesn't mean that I like it." Olivia scowled. "I need to know these things, guys." She said before turning to Paige and Emma. "Are you guys mad at me?"
"I don't like it that you guys are working for Punk but… it's your decision." Emma shrugged. "I'm not mad. Just a tad confused. If you guys wanted to break out so badly and make a difference, you shouldn't have to work for people like Punk." She explained.
"And sometimes you gotta do what's best for yourself, Blondie." Dean said. Emma just sighed and turned her attention to the lunatic of the group.
"I get that Dean. Like I said, it's your decision."
"Paige?" Olivia turned to her best friend who still didn't look happy.
"I'm actually glad I didn't ask you about the whole Punk/Heyman situation. I would've more pissed off that you lied to me about it," Paige admitted. "I still think it's stupid but if you guys think it's best for you and the justice you believe in, who am I to stand in your way?" She shrugged.
"Thank you." Olivia wrapped her arms around Emma and Paige for a group hug. The three divas broke apart after a while and turned around to see The Rock hit a People's Elbow and cover Punk for the win.
There was silence in The Shield's locker room as Seth, Roman, Olivia and Dean all looked at each other before Dean summed up their feelings in two words.
"Well, shit."
"Where the fuck were you?!" Punk stormed into their locker room about 30 minutes later. Paige and Emma had escaped and were driving back to the hotel, leaving The Shield to deal with the wrath of a furious, former WWE Champion.
"We did our job. We weren't coming out a second time." Dean answered.
"You come out whenever I'm in trouble! Why is that so hard for you to understand?!" Punk roared at them and Olivia flinched as he turned his angry gaze to her.
"Thanks to you idiots, I'm no longer the WWE Champion! And you're just sitting here like it's no big deal! And you, miss cheerleader," Punk got right in her face. "You'll never get a Diva's Championship shot while you work for me." He smirked, cupping her face and Olivia glared at him, trying to hide how scared she was. "You'll be a nobody, going back to NXT where everyone will forget about you. Isn't that a perfect image?"
"Hey! You don't talk to her like that!" An angry Seth pushed Punk out of the way and stood in front of his girlfriend. "Olivia will be the best damn diva this company has ever seen! You won't control that!"
"Or touch her like you just did." Roman growled, standing over Punk. "Like Dean said, we did what we were told to do. It's not our fault that they restarted the match."
"You're the one who couldn't kick out in time." Olivia regained her voice and looked around Seth at Punk, a smirk on her face as Paul Heyman came into the room, panting slightly.
"Watch it with how you talk to me! I pay you!" Punk growled at her and Dean stood up from where he was, obviously getting annoyed with how Punk was talking to his teammates.
"Punk, please. As much as I hate to say it, they are right. They did their job and they'll be paid handsomely, no matter what." Paul admitted. "This is Vince McMahon's fault! Now let's just get back to the hotel so that we can get ready for the flight tomorrow." He pleaded with his client.
"Fine. But don't think I'll forget this." He warned The Shield and exited the locker room with Paul following him.
"Well. That went better than expected." Olivia commented, hugging Seth from behind.
"He's going to be in a foul mood on RAW, that's for sure." Dean nodded. "Are you going to be ok, darlin?" He added, looking a tad uncomfortable as he said those words, not used to doing this with women.
"I'm fine. He's just shitty, that's all. He can't control my career." She replied, trying to reassure herself that that was the right answer. Punk couldn't have a stranglehold over her career, couldn't he?
"Olivia, don't doubt yourself. We'll get rid of him and Heyman tomorrow. We're going to break out on our own. That happens tomorrow night." Seth declared, ready to reveal his plan that he had hinted to Olivia earlier that night.
"How are we doing that?" Roman asked.
"As well as Olivia's match tomorrow night, we're attacking John Cena when he makes his decision." Seth smirked.
A/N: Trust me guys, Seth will reassure Olivia again privately in the next chapter =) Also, Happy Halloween to all of you that celebrate it! I have just celebrated it here in Australia and as I type this, it is now 12:01am on November 1st. I was Harley Quinn this year! Let me know what you're going to dress up as in a review if you want!
