Here was the big event for Seth Rollins and Cm Punk, there match was up next and they were in the back getting ready. Punk was trying to convince Payne not to come out anymore because of her leg but she refused. She wanted to be there by his side to hold up his arm when he won his WWE Champion title back from Seth Rollins. Something about Rollins pissed her off, she liked Dean and she really liked Roman but for some reason she couldn't like Rollins. Anyway, Cm Punk's intro music played as the announcer introduced him into the ring. Their match was a no disqualification match and Punk was ready to take full advantage of that. Slowly Payne followed behind Punk as Rollins was introduced to the ring; Payne kept a look out for Roman and Dean just in case. Seth entered the ring holding up his title and Punk started towards him but was called back by both Payne and the referee because the match hadn't started yet. The bell rang and Seth started after Punk to punch him, Punk was using his speed to avoid the punch as he ducked under it and allowed Seth to just barely stop himself from running into the ropes; Punk grabbed the back of Seth's head and pushed him into the corner. He ran towards him kicking him in the chest and face with both his feet. Payne was a little suspicious of the whole thing though, it wasn't adding up to her that Roman wasn't by Dean's side when he took on John Cena like Seth was. When Roman's match came up neither of the men were there, Payne found herself looking around slowly at the audience thinking something was up with this match.
"And Cm Punk is going for a suplex… Seth Rollins frees himself from it." Michael said.
"What's wrong with Payne she looks a little serious tonight?" John said.
"Well she was attacked earlier today that could be it."
"No I mean she looks really serious, not upset, usually she's happy and chanting for her guys but she's not right now. What do you suppose is on her mind?" John asked.
"I don't know. Cm Punk going for the back breaker now." Michael said.
Punk went for a cover but Seth kicked out so quick the referee didn't get a chance to finish saying one. Seth grabbed the sides of Punks head and started banging his head against Punk's. Punk got a little wobbly but he was still standing up. Seth kicked him again and he fell against the ropes; Seth ran after him and Punk pulled down the top rope so that he could fall over it. Seth went over the top rope but his arm caught on it and kept him on the apron. Cm Punk wrapped his other arm around the top rope and started punching him in the chest. The referee pulled him off and Seth, very off balanced like, reentered the ring. Punk ran after him and kicked him into the corner again; when Punk went for another kick, Seth caught his leg and then lifted Punk up and slammed him to the mat. Seth went for a cover and Punk kicked out at two. Seth and Cm Punk both got up slowly and refaced each other and Seth ran towards him again and Punk attempted to throw a punch which Rollins dodged then bounced off of the other ropes behind Punk; Punk turned around and tried to throw another punch and this time Seth caught his arm spinning Punk around and pushing him against the ropes. Seth leaned over to lift up Punk when he came back to him but Punk kicked him in the face. Seth went to touch his face because it was in pain and then Punk kicked him in the leg making him go down to his knees. Punk started kicking him in the chest over and over again then Punk went to get up on the top rope and he jumped off but Rollins moved out of the way. Seth stood up and got out of the ring where Payne was; he gave her a sarcastic smile to piss her off and Payne gave him one back but it lasted only a second before she squinted her eyes at him. Seth was going under the ring to grab a chair but he was moving too slow; Punk had time to regroup and slid out of the ring just in time to kick him. Seth fell back and Punk picked up the chair Seth pulled out, Payne started trying to move out of the way for Punk. Punk was beating the hell out of Rollins back and then he picked him up and pushed him against the steal chairs. Payne gave him a look like 'you really had to push him over here?' Punk shrugged his shoulders and apologized already knowing what that look meant. Seth was getting up as Punk was coming after him again he moved out of the way so that Punk could hit the stairs himself and Payne moved back again. She looked around at the audience again just trying to see how safe it was, for some reason she felt like something was about to happen and she was sure she knew what it was. Seth grabbed Punk by his hair and banged his head against the pole. Payne bit her lip trying to stay out of it; she knew better than anyone that Punk wanted to prove he could win without anyone helping him out. Seth went back to grabbing the chair he pulled out earlier and started beating Punk like he beat him. The show went onto a brief commercial and when it came back both Seth and Punk where on the other side of the ring and Punk was slamming Seth into the commentary desk.
"Boy I gotta tell you Cm Punk and Seth Rollins are not playing nice tonight." John said.
"This is the first time in a while that I've seen Punk have this much fight in him." Michael said.
Punk went for a suplex landing Rollins on top of the commentary desk Seth rolled off of the desk and hit the chairs. Punk was leaning against the desk trying to catch his breath while Seth was slowly trying to get up again. He ran after Punk pushing him against the pole again and Punk fell back to the ground. Seth tried to go for a cover but Punk kicked out at two, Seth had a little temper tantrum on the floor.
"Seth can't figure out what he needs to do to take out Punk." Michael said.
"Punk is not someone you can easily just take out and I think that's Seth Rollins problem this is not like the other times he's fought anybody else." John said.
"Especially, since he's so used to having the support of his fellow Shield members with him." Michael said.
Punk got up holding onto Seth Rollins hair and his belt and he threw him back into the ring. Punk got up on the top rope and jumped off and was caught by Seth but he still fell back to the mat. Punk went for another cover but Seth kicked out; Punk sat shaking his head he couldn't figure out what he needed to do the put out Rollins either. Punk stood up and started stomping on Rollins arm and Rollins curled up hurt, Punk went and bounced off of the ropes and then slammed down on Seth again. The Shield's intro started playing and Punk stood up looking in the direction where they Shield usually enters.
"What the-"Michael started to say.
Payne started screaming at Punk,
"Punk! Finish the match, finish the match!"
"Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose are running down to the ring as Cm Punk tries to finish the match!" John said excited.
Punk turned around and went for a cover but it wasn't enough time to declare Punk the winner because Roman and Dean ran in and started beating up Punk. Payne watched in anger as her boyfriend and his friend beat up her Champion and she couldn't really do anything because her ankle wasn't being nice to her. Payne covered her forehead while she said,
"Aye way!"
She rolled her eyes huffing at them; Dean and Roman picked up Punk and threw him down,
"This is a no disqualification match, I'm not saying it's legal but the match is still going on." Michael said.
Dean draped Seth over Cm Punk then Roman and Dean got out of the ring as the referee counted to three. The WWE Champion title would remain in the possession of Seth Rollins according to the ring announcer. Payne looked at Roman shaking her head; Roman just looked back at her with his plain mean looking face as Dean pulled Seth out of the ring and grabbed his title and held it up to the crowd. Some were cheering others were booing; honestly, the boos were louder than the cheers which kind of made Payne feel better. Roman walked up to Payne and looked her in the eye; he could see she was pissed and she could tell that he was just doing his job and she couldn't change that. He looked away from her and walked to the black wall and climbed over it with Seth and Dean. Payne forced herself into the ring wincing at the pain her in ankle and made her way to Punk. She shook him telling him to get up; she had her hand on his chest and the other on the back of his head trying to help him up. Payne looked back at Roman and then at Punk and an evil look along with a very faint evil smile appeared on her face. She knew how she was going to repay the Shield for what they did to Punk and she was going to do it on Raw Monday night.
"There you have it folks retaining his title as the WWE Champion Seth Rollins wins." Michael said.
"If you ask me he didn't really win that I mean Punk would've put him down and been the new WWE Champion again if the other members of the Shield didn't step in." John said.
"Payne looks just as upset about this whole thing then anybody else." Michael said.
Later after the show the drive home between Molly, Roman and Payne was quiet. Roman tried to say something about it but Payne said she didn't want to talk about it. Mickey was waiting outside their suite door for them and he asked Payne if Molly was a good girl. This was the first time she allowed herself to speak in Korean in front of Roman without caring if it was rude or not. She told Mickey she was an angel and when Molly asked if she could come and spend time with her again Payne just couldn't say no.
"Did you get that job?" she asked Mickey.
"I don't know yet but I was told that I gave a good first impression. Hopefully I got it." He answered.
"I hope you did and not so that you can pay back, so that you can finally get your life back together." Payne said.
"Gamsahapnida." He said.
"You're welcome." She answered in English.
After he left, Roman tried to talk to her again but she didn't really want to talk about work.
"I don't see why you're mad I was just acting the way I normally do when I'm with the Shield." He said.
"I said I don't want to talk about it; until I find out what Punk wants to tell me tomorrow I just want to forget about tonight." She answered.
She walked into the bedroom telling him she was going to take a shower; she sat down in the tub as the hot water hit her in the face. She had her knees to her chest and her arms crossed around them. She was just hoping Punk wouldn't say what she already half knew he was going to say. When she got out of the shower, Roman was in the bed his shirt was off and he was under the covers asleep. She gave him a faint smile then looked at the door to the bedroom. Payne sighed and walked out to grab her phone as it started to ring. Vince McMahon and Vikki Guerrero were on the phone.
"Hello… Yes…Really? Well, yes that would be a huge honor... I'll tell you when I get there tomorrow... Thank you." Payne said
Why were Vikki and Vince McMahon calling Payne that late? Who knows you'll just have to wait and find out. There's going to be a big shock too. Thanks for reading.
