Over the next several weeks everyone was preparing for the Royal Rumble. All three members of The Shield would be in the Rumble Match this year so they was going to be tension in their promos they even did a cute little interview with Renee Young!

Day of the Royal Rumble:

Kenzie woke up in Dean's arms she loved mornings like that! Her brother was flying in this morning from South Carolina and she was going to show him around backstage! She got up and got in the shower when she was interrupted by someone joining her! Dean softly put his arms around her and began to kiss her neck!

Kenzie: Dean What are you doing?

Dean smirked: Showering.

Kenzie: Really?

Jon: And kissing my girlfriend. *kissing her neck*

Jon turned her around and pulled her close and crashed his lips to hers and they began to make out.

A little while Later: They got dressed and ready for the day. Kenzie was packing her bags getting ready to check out because they would be heading to Cleveland Ohio tonight after the rumble.

When Dean pulled her close and began to kiss her neck again.

Kenzie smiled: Didn't we already do this?

Dean: Yeah but you smell so good I can't get enough.

Then he kissed her neck again and playfully bit it.

When Kenzie's phone buzzed on the night stand it was her brother Matt - he said that he was in the hotel lobby with a surprise!

Kenzie smiled: My brother Matt's here! So hurry. He says he has a surprise.

Dean smiled he loved how excited Kenzie was.

Dean: Your excited aren't you?

Kenzie: Yeah I mean even though I'm not fighting tonight but it will be nice to show him around and to be honest I really miss him.

Dean: I love you. You know that.

Then he softly kissed her again.

Kenzie: I love you too.

They looked over the room making sure that they had everything and headed down to the lobby and where they were met by Roman and Seth.
Kenzie looked around for Matt and when she saw him she ran to him and hugged him!

Matt: took you long enough.

Kenzie: I am so excited your here now whats my surprise little brother?

Matt: Grandfather's here.

Kenzie: What?

Matt: He wanted to come with me. so I told him it was a good idea.

Kenzie: Really?

Grandfather : Hello McKenzie.

Kenzie: Hi Grandfather. *hugged him* How how your flight?

Grandfather: It was nice. The hotels not bad either. How are you dear?

Kenzie: I am wonderful.

After Dean checked out of the hotel he came over to them.

Matt: Hey Dean what's up man?

Dean: Not much Matt just preparing for the Royal Rumble tonight man.

Kenzie was smiling: Dean sweetie this is my Grandfather Ridge Callaway. Grandfather this is Dean Ambrose my boyfriend.

Dean shook his hand a little nervous: Nice to meet you sir.

Ridge: Nice to meet you too. Do you have time for lunch before this rumble thing?

Kenzie and Dean looked at each other and smiled She loved her grandfather he was a sweet old southern man.

Kenzie: Yeah I think we can make time right Dean?

Dean: Sure but do you mind if our other two partners join us?

Ridge: Not at all.

Then Seth and Roman came over and Kenzie introduced her grandfather to the other members of the Shield then they headed to lunch! Kenzie was surprised how pleasant it was her Grandfather was actually into the WWE talk he mentioned how he watched Old School Raw and asked Dean about his encounter with Jake the Snake!

Ridge: So are you competing tonight McKenzie?

Kenzie: No usually the Diva's aren't put on the Rumble Card! But I will be there to support the hounds.

Dean, Seth Roman: Believe in the Shield.

Her brother and Grandfather smiled they could tell that McKenzie was happy with her life and that's all that mattered.

After lunch they headed to the arena there was a lot going on backstage.

Kenzie and the other hounds went to their locker room first to drop their stuff off when one of the production guys Jerry came up.

Jerry: Piper Triple H and Stephanie want to see you in their office.

All the hounds looked at each other.

Seth: All of us?

Jerry: No Just Piper. I would hurry Triple H said he wanted to talk to you as soon as you arrived.

Piper looked at the guys: What the hell did I do?

Dean: Who knows but it's better you than me.

Piper: Ha Ha! *kiss* Hey can you show my Grandpa and Matt around maybe take them to the ring or something.

Roman: Don't worry Piper we got this!

Pipers: Thanks.

Then Kenzie headed to Triple H's office she knocked on the door and headed in.

Hunter: HI Piper How are you?

Kenzie: Good! You asked to see me?

Stephanie: Yes Mark from creative came to us with an idea for the Shield.

Kenzie: Alright shouldn't the other hounds be here to hear it too?

Hunter: Not yet we wanted to talk to you first with out Dean.

Kenzie: Is there a problem?

Hunter grinned: No but what we are about to propose might make the boyfriend not happy and after the ordeal with Punk less drama the better.

Kenzie sat their embarrassed: You heard about that?

Stephanie: How Dean threaten CM Punk for throwing you out of the ring? Yeah we all heard about it.

Hunter: The Wyatt Family is going to start a feud with the Shield.

Kenzie grinned: Really that's amazing.

Stephanie: The Feud will involve you.

Kenzie stopped: What?

Hunter: Yeah the Wyatt family see's how amazing you are they want you on their said "sister Abigail is calling them to you" *he grinned*

Stephanie: The Shield however wont let their little hound go hence the feud and the major match at Elimination Chamber.

Kenzie: That's great I guess I am confused about the part that is going to make Dean mad?

Hunter: Well sadly the Wyatt's are going to attack you at your next match costing you the title.

Kenzie's heart sank a bit she was losing her Title.

Hunter: I know it's not fair but AJ is going to win the title for a bit! Anyway Bray is going to deliver the sister Abigail to you before the Shield can get to the ring.

Kenzie: Got it then I wont be able to kick out and that's why Dean is going to be mad?

Stephanie: Yes and well there will be a little more in ring action.

Hunter: Yeah I saw how well you handled yourself with Punk in the ring and providing the boyfriend keeps a cool head I think that you could give some of the Wyatt's a run for their money.

Kenzie: Maybe but they are a lot taller and bigger than Punk.

Hunter: I have complete faith in you Piper. So does all that sound like a plan?

Kenzie smiled: Do I have a choice sir?

Hunter: One Word NOPE!

They all laughed

Kenzie: Well then it's a plan. So when will this all go down?

Stephanie: Next Week On Monday Night Raw there is going to be some dissension in the shield after the rumble tonight so they wont be paying attention to you next week when this goes down?

Kenzie: Alright then so what do I tell my fellow hounds?

Hunter: Just that there is a story line with the Wyatt's starting soon!

Kenzie: Oh they'll love that.

Kenzie left and was sad to be losing her title but kinda of excited to be facing the Wyatt Family they were a creepy bunch of guys and she never really talked to them much but this was going to be fun and the WWE Universe was going to love it! She was looking around for the guys and her dad and brother when she saw Phil he didn't look happy and it looked like he hadn't slept in a while!

Kenzie: Hey Phil!

Phil: Hey Piper.

Kenzie: You alright?

Phil: Just fine didn't sleep much last night!

Kenzie: You and AJ?

Phil: No dirty girl she stayed in her hotel room last night.

Kenzie: So are you ready for the Rumble?

Phil: Oh yeah starting number one tonight and being in most of the match defiantly.

Then her grandfather and brother came up with Dean right behind.

Kenzie: You'll do fine

Matt: Hey Kenzie Dean just took us to the ring. It is so awesome it looks different from TV a little smaller I guess. Hey Punk.

Punk: HI Matt how are you?

Matt: Awesome I am so excited for the Royal Rumble it sucks that Corporate Kane gave you the number 1 spot.

Punk: It is what it is such is the life of CM Punk.

Dean smirked then Punk Noticed .
Punk extended his hand Phil: Hello Again Mr. Callaway it's been a little while!

Ridge: Yes Phil it has! Dean how about taking me on that backstage tour!

Dean smiled: Sure Sir Kenz you coming?

Kenzie: In A Second.

Her grandfather looked at her in disappointment why was she hanging out with her ex.

Kenzie: Good Luck tonight Punk.

Punk: Thanks. Hey have you seen Aj?

Kenzie: Yeah she is in with Hunter.

Punk: Why?

Kenzie smiled: You should ask her when she comes out. I know she'll be happy.

It was now almost show time so Kenzie took her brother and grandfather down to their seat they would be sitting ring side. Matt was so excited. Her grandfather wasn't sure what to expect this being his first Live WWE Event!

Ridge: Kenzie what was that between you and Phil?

Kenzie: Nothing Grandfather! Phil and I are just friends and we work together so we talk a lot.

Ridge: Good because is a great guy and I see how much he loves you.

Kenzie smiled: I love him too and he is amazing.

Matt: So what numbers did the hounds draw tonight?

Kenzie: Nice try Matt. Enjoy the show and I will see you after.

The Show started and the Shield were in their locker room getting ready for the Royal Rumble and watching some of the matches!

Seth: Hey Piper are you going to tell us about the meeting with Triple H?

Piper: Maybe Rollins. What's it worth to you?

Roman: He'll give you his number for the Rumble.

Seth: Yeah I'll give you my Rumble spot.

Piper: Awww pretty boy not happy with starting number 2?

Seth: Hey at least I can beat on Punk again one on one.

Dean: So the meeting what's up?

Piper: Well the Shield is going to start feuding with the Wyatt's next week.

Dean: No Shit? Really?

Piper: Yeah.

Seth was a little concerned: Even with all the dissension that's going to happen?

Piper: Yup. The rest you will just have to wait and see.

Roman: This will be awesome.

Piper: Believe that. Then they headed down their undisclosed location to shoot a quiet promo for the rumble!

Promo:

Dean: We don't make friends ease and tonight in the Royal Rumble match we have 27 enemies in the ring with us! BUT THE HOUNDS ARE ON THE LOOSE TONIGHT and all 27 of those super stars are going to get tossed and flung and dumped over the top rope.

Roman: Yes Sir one by one their going to fly and they're going to fall and it's just going to be the three of us that remain.

Seth: and at that point it truly becomes every man for himself now only one of us can go on to main event Wrestlemania we get that but when the rumble is done and one of us is left standing the Shield will still stand united.

Roman: That's what I'm talking about! But I gotta tell you boys I know you can notice my energy my swag is off the charts right now I am feeling confident boys that I've got the winning number tonight.

Dean: Oh yeah?

Roman: Yeah.

Dean: Yeah What Number you Got?

Roman: huf.. You better stay turned you'll find out later.

Dean: If I tell you my number you tell me your number?

Roman: sounds good go on shoot.

Dean: I'm not gonna tell you my number how do you know if I don't even have two numbers?

Roman: Nobody has two number?

Dean: oh Yeah I have all the numbers.

Seth: Hey... Hey look it doesn't matter what numbers we drew the only number that matter tonight is 3.

Piper: That's Right Boys one of you three is coming out of that Rumble the winner.

*fist in*

Seth: Believe in The Shield!

Piper escorted Roman and Dean to the gorilla position and wished them luck and softly kissed Dean's lips. Seth would be making their normal entrance as number 2 but Dean and Roman would actually be entering from the gorilla position Dean #11 and Roman #15.
Piper headed back to the locker room area and watched the match unfold with some of the Divas!

"CM Punk and Seth Rollins were entrants #1 and #2; they spent the longest and second longest time in the match (49 and 48 minutes respectively). Kane entered at #5 and targeted Punk, but Punk managed to eliminate him. NXT's Alexander Rusev entered at #6. Kofi Kingston, who entered at #8, had two feats of athleticism to escape elimination; first after he was deposited on the guardrail by Rusev (who caught him when Kingston was thrown out of the ring) he jumped back to the ring apron from the guardrail, and later while he was hanging on to the bottom rope with his feet, he fended off Jack Swagger by snatching Swagger's boot and hitting him with it. Rollins' Shield teammates (Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns) entered at #11 and #15 respectively. Goldust eliminated his brother Cody Rhodes 24 minutes into the match, and was in turn eliminated by Reigns, who had also eliminated Kingston and unannounced entrant Kevin Nash, amongst others. Midway through the match with only Punk and the Shield left in the ring, Sheamus returned to WWE television at #17. Reigns' dominance continued with his eliminations of Los Matadores' mascot El Torito and pay-per-view commentator John "Bradshaw" Layfield, both of whom were unannounced entrants. Batista entered at #28 and quickly eliminated Erick Rowan, Ryback and Alberto Del Rio. The final entrant at #30 was Rey Mysterio, who was eliminated by Rollins. When Ambrose tried to eliminate Reigns, Reigns retaliated by eliminating Ambrose, Rollins and Antonio Cesaro simultaneously, leaving himself, Punk, Sheamus and Batista as the final four. Though already eliminated, Kane returned to ringside and pulled Punk over the top rope to eliminate him, then sent him through the Spanish announce table with a chokeslam. Reigns eliminated Sheamus to set a new record for most eliminations in a Rumble match with 12, but Reigns was then thrown over the top rope by Batista, who won the match!" wiki/Royal_Rumble_(2014)

Piper's POV: I watched the whole match I couldn't believe it when Punk went thru the table I could tell that he was pissed. Kane what an idiot. I know that Phil is mad about once again being passed at the Rumble by Bastia hell I was even mad it should have been one of the Shield or Punk to win this year. Ok I admit it I am a bit basis but can you honestly blame me look at the men I have in my life. They guys were showering and changing. I was going to find my brother and Grandfather and say goodbye to them. We were heading out tonight to Ohio. When I noticed a pissed off CM Punk storming out of Vince's office and heading for the door! I new something wasn't right this was different and I didn't know why so I went after Punk calling for him! I followed him outside to the parking lot it was cold!

Kenzie: Punk. Punk. CM PUNK! *he didn't answer* PHILLIP JACK BROOKS!

He whipped around that got his attention.

Phil: Go back inside Kenzie it's cold out here.

Kenzie: Tell me what's wrong and I will.

He walked up to me. We were standing unusally close!

Phil: I'm Done. I am going home?

Kenzie: What?

Phil: I told Vince I am going home.

Kenzie: For How Long?

Phil: I am retiring Kenzie.

Kenzie: Phil be serious.

Phil: I am. I am done. I am taking my ball and going home. I can't NO I wont do this anymore.

He pulled me into a long warm hug and kissed my cheek.

Phil: Enjoy the Ride Kenzie because it wont last forever.

Kenize: Phil?

Phil: I'll call you in a few days I promise.

And With That CM Punk walked out on me and the WWE.
