A/N: Hey everyone!Thank you for the lovely reviews, follows and favourites! Roman did it! He finally did it! I couldn't be more proud of him but I hope that it won't be a Daniel Bryan storyline where they strip him of it because of a stupid reason. Anyway, I hope you enjoy and don't forget to leave a review once you have finished reading this chapter!
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
During the taping of Smackdown the next day, The Shield decided that they were not going to make an appearance. So instead, they watched the show in their locker room before driving to the next city they were supposed to be in. The WWE higher ups wanted them to make a couple of appearances before they were required to be at the house shows on Saturday and Sunday before RAW on Monday night.
Olivia was currently driving to their next house show after a radio interview with all four of them. Having spent almost two weeks on the road together with barely any time apart, they had bonded and argued quite a bit.
Especially Dean and Olivia.
"I'll tell you what, I'll be glad to see Cam and Naomi when we get to the show tonight." She admitted to Dean who was the only one awake apart from her. "I need some girl time."
"Roman can be your girlfriend." Dean joked. "With his hair and everything."
"If he was awake, he would definitely be giving you a death glare." She laughed. "And give you a lecture because he's the dad of this group."
"He would do the same thing to you, Evans. You just called him a dad." Dean snorted. "I don't think that he would appreciate that."
"But he is. He's the one to drag us home after he thinks we've had enough to drink at the bars and keeps the peace whenever you and Seth start arguing." Olivia pointed out, slightly amused at how Dean was adamant that Roman would not be happy that she thought that he was the Dad of the group.
"Darlin', as much as he tries there will be no way that he can stop Seth and me arguing. That's what we do."
"Like brothers." She smiled and Dean stared at her for a moment. "…what?" She asked after catching his look in the rear view mirror.
"I guess you're right." He admitted. "I don't have a brother back home so I wouldn't know."
"You've got Seth and Roman now." She said, realising that Dean was finally opening up to her. "And me. Seth and I were talking about it a couple of weeks ago we've become like a little family on the road."
"Never really had a family before." Dean muttered.
"Well, you do now Dean. And we won't leave you, no matter what." She promised him.
"Thanks, Olivia." He said as Roman began to stir. "Not a word of this conversation gets repeated." He warned her.
"And here I was going to tell Paige all about it." Olivia teased him.
"I swear to God if you do that and tell that girl, I'll take everything I just said back and I'll start calling you Evans again." Dean threatened, a playful smirk on his face.
"You know, if I knew that I was going to wake up to arguing, I would've slept longer." Roman mumbled. "So that you two were quiet and had gotten it out of your systems and I wouldn't have to deal with it."
"Yeah, that would never happen, Big Guy." Dean's smirk grew wider.
"We save it all up for when you wake up and we can annoy you even more." Olivia joined in as she began to navigate the streets to the arena.
"You two are like a pair of children." Roman rolled his eyes but the smile on his face showed his amusement.
"Who's like a pair of children?" Seth asked sleepily as he began to wake up from all of the talking.
"You and Dean." Olivia grinned.
"I think you mean yourself and Dean, baby girl." Roman snorted. "Dean and Seth aren't as bad as you two."
"Is that a compliment or an insult?" She wondered as Seth looked at them in confusion, still wondering what they were all talking about.
"Take it as a compliment, darlin'." Dean told her.
"I would take it as an insult." Roman said.
"I have no idea what we are talking about." Their two toned hair teammate admitted and Olivia laughed.
"Just go back to sleep, babe. We'll wake you back up when we get to the arena in about 20 minutes or so." She promised him. Although she was eager for her days off to get back to Orlando and be with Paige and Emma, she knew that part of her would miss the amount of time that she had had with her team. Having the two weeks of spending every day with each other had definitely brought them closer than they had been before and history had shown that if Stables in the WWE were incredibly close, then they would be even more deadly in the ring.
Not that they were deadly already but Olivia knew that they could be even more formidable and that they had to be, especially with Elimination Chamber coming up.
They needed to show no weaknesses and Olivia already had a plan that was forming in her mind about what they were going to do on RAW this week. She just had to explain it to her teammates before Monday Night.
Monday Night RAW, 11th February, 2013
"You did what now?" Seth stared at Olivia.
"I demanded that they give us some time to let us explain why we've been targeting Cena, Ryback and Sheamus." She explained to him.
"That is actually genius." Dean admitted.
"We can call them out and leave them hurting just before Elimination Chamber." Roman suggested and Olivia smiled, pleased at the fact that they all seemed to like her idea. She then entered the bathroom to get changed into her outfit for the night which consisted of a black halter neck crop top, a studded line leather mini skirt, thigh high stockings, lace up zipper chunky boots, her necklace and a studded wristband. Coming out of the locker room, she pulled on her hoodie to go out and get her hair and makeup.
"Wait, sweetheart, I'll come with you." Seth said, standing up from where he was sitting on the locker room bench. "I need to talk to you in private."
"OHHHH!" Dean grinned. "Evans is in trouble!"
"Go jump off a cliff, Ambrose." She shot back, rolling her eyes and following Seth out of the locker room. She knew that comment had been a bit harsh but she didn't really care at that point. Two weeks straight with all three of the guys, as much as she all adored them, was stretching her to her breaking point. Yes, she had spent some time with Cameron and Naomi earlier when she had arrived in Nashville but once they had gotten to the arena and she was back with the guys, her nerves were beginning to fray.
"When were you going to tell me that you had done this?" Seth asked her as they walked through the hallways.
Olivia blinked and looked at him. "I did just then. I've been planning it for the past couple of days and I had to clear it with Vickie. I didn't want to get anyone's hopes up if she said no and –"
"You do realise that we would've just interrupted a match anyway to get our point across?" Seth interrupted her. "You don't have to go to the higher ups and demand that they give us some talking time, Olivia."
"Well excuse me for trying to make sure all eyes are on us before Sunday." Olivia growled, starting to get frustrated over this pointless arguing. All she had tried to do was to get them some time to explain their actions and insult John Cena, Ryback, Sheamus and Alicia before Elimination Chamber.
Why was that so difficult for Seth to understand?
"And we could've done that a different way!" He argued as they stopped in an empty corridor. "And told us what you were going to do! We're a team, Olivia if you have an idea, you share it with us."
"Says the one who kept me in the dark about some of the dealings with Heyman and Punk!" She crossed her arms. "I had no idea we were being paid or when I got hurt that he had come and demanded that we take out The Rock."
"That was different." Seth claimed.
"Different?! DIFFERENT?! Tell me Seth, how is that different?" She hissed at him, her anger growing. "How is that different when we're a team and we all need to know what's going on?! Don't you trust, me? Is that it?"
"Don't get mad at me, Olivia." He warned her. "Of course I trust you but you have to calm down, we're at work. We need to be professional."
Olivia burst out laughing even though this was no laughing matter. "You know what? Fine. We'll discuss this later, since we have to be professional." She snapped. "I'm sorry that I just wanted to help out the team." She spat before turning on her heel and storming away from an equally angry Seth. Whipping her phone out, she automatically called the one person who she could vent to in this world and she knew that they wouldn't repeat anything she would say.
She called Emma.
"Liv? Aren't you at RAW right now?" Emma picked up after a couple of rings.
"I am. And I just got into a fight with Seth." She sighed trying to keep calm and hold back her tears, sitting down in a chair at hair and makeup. "The usual." She told them and the hair and makeup artist nodded and began to do her usual badass look.
"Tell me everything." Emma commanded.

After getting her hair and makeup done, Olivia walked back to The Shield's locker room, now texting Paige and Emma in a group chat. Page and Emma quickly took Olivia's side about what happened between her and Seth, which cheered her up slightly. However, she was still upset at what had happened between her and Seth. She couldn't believe that he didn't think that she should've demanded air time to explain themselves.
And now she would have to sit with him in their locker room and go out and cut a promo without showing what was happening in her personal life. Standing in front of the locker room, she bit her lip, hesitating to go in there. But, she knew that this was not the attitude a Shield member displayed and with that, she turned the knob and entered the room, only to see that Seth wasn't in there and it was just Dean and Roman.
"Thank God." She muttered as she began to do some warm up stretches.
"Where's Seth?" Roman asked her.
"I don't know." She shrugged in response. "We went to different places."
"Well, alright then." Dean stared at her, slightly confused at her response. He then shrugged it off, figuring that Seth must've gone to do something after they had left.
Biting her lip, Olivia glanced down at her group message to see that Paige had replied.
Group Message: My British Love, Emmmaaa
My British Love: Pumpkin, I get that you're mad at Seth but maybe you're just a bit tired and annoyed from being on the road with all three of them for nearly two weeks? Ask Naomi and Cameron if you can ride with them tonight, just give yourself some thinking time.
"That could be true." She muttered and sent a text to Naomi, thinking about how childish and immature their argument had been. But, she was too stubborn to admit that that was the truth, so she planned to take her anger out on Alicia tonight in her promo and completely ignore Seth until she felt ready to talk to him.
Her phone buzzed in her hand as the locker room door opened and Seth came inside, stopping in the doorway when he saw her. Olivia simply looked down at her phone to read a text from Emma
Group Message: My British Love, Emmmaaa
Emmmaaa: I agree with Paige. You might need some time on your own after all that time together.
Emmmaaa: Also, Paige wants you to know that she wants Roman down in Orlando this week. You know, so they can hook up again :P
My British Love: Damn straight ;)
Me: YOU STILL NEED TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK, YOU BITCH.
Grinning at the text Paige had sent, she skipped over to Roman and showed him what Paige had said. Roman's face lit up in amusement and when he looked at her she could see the lust for her best friend in his grey eyes.
"Tell her that can be arranged." He told her.
"Will do." She said, sitting next to him as RAW began, she saw Seth looking over at her and she cleared her throat. "Yes, babe?" She asked him in a sickly sweet voice.
"Can we talk outside?" He asked her.
"Nah. I'm comfy. Also, I'm going to ride to the next city with Cam and Naomi tonight." She told them and Dean and Roman stared at her and then Seth.
"What the hell happened?" Roman asked.
"Oh you know, Roman, Seth thinks I can't do things to help out the team without telling you guys even though he's done that exact thing without telling me." She answered as her frustration began to grow yet again and Seth glared at her.
"Hey, we did it because of Heyman! Not of our own accord!" He spat back.
"Where's the popcorn?" Dean muttered, his eyes darting back and forth between the two like he was at a tennis match.
"You should've just told me! I was trying to figure out how to tell you guys that I've done this but I also needed to make sure it was going to happen!" Olivia's voice rose.
"But why didn't…"
"ENOUGH!" Roman bellowed, effectively shutting the two up. Dean, Olivia and Seth stared at their normally silent teammate, eyes wide. "The pair of you are acting like immature children! Now, tonight we need to go out there and act like the cohesive unit that we are known as. So you two better make up or act like nothing is wrong before that happens. Understood?" He told Seth and Olivia sternly.
"…Fine." She muttered.
"Sweetheart, please can we talk?" Seth asked in a softer tone.
"Seth," She sighed. "I just need time to think, alright? Like I said, I'm going to ride with Naomi and Cameron to the next town and I'll talk to you about it there, alright?" She promised him.
"I can deal with that." Her boyfriend nodded. "Take all the time you need."
"…Seriously, why didn't I have popcorn for that?" Dean asked himself.
Later that night, John Cena, Ryback and Sheamus had a six man tag team match against 3MB with Alicia Fox in their corner. The three main event superstars absolutely dominated their opponents with Alicia cheering them on, a huge smile on her face and wearing Sheamus and Ryback wristbands and a John Cena cap in support of her team members.
The end of the match came when Sheamus, Cena and Ryback hit their finishers in stereo and Cena picked up the win. Alicia quickly entered the ring to celebrate with her teammates.
"Oh, you've gotta be kidding." Olivia muttered when she heard Jerry Lawler say that he was hoping that that was going to happen at Elimination Chamber. She glanced over at her teammates and they looked as unimpressed as she felt.
Ryback had grabbed a mic and was waiting for Cena's music to finish playing. "This Sunday, is the day I've waited a long time for!" He began and the crowd cheered in response. "It is the day I feast on The Shield!" He declared and passed the microphone over to Sheamus.
"For the past couple of months, all we've been hearing is these fellas and the lassie saying 'Believe in The Shield!' Well I'll tell you what I believe in! I believe that even though we're facin' those fellas on Sunday and the little lass will be at ringside, I believe that the four of us we'll get some of our own justice… tonight!" The Irish Superstar said and handed the microphone over to Alicia.
"You know, Olivia has been involved in all of this so-called justice and she's been the so called 'difference' when it comes to the numbers. Well, that didn't work out for your last week, didn't it, Olivia?! And it won't happen this Sunday! Because if you even try to interfere, there is a scissors kick with your name on it! Actually, I have a scissors kick with your name on it for tonight as well," The Foxy Diva smirked as the crowd's cheers grew louder. "Believe in that… rookie." She finished and passed the mic to Cena.
"I just love having her around, don't you?" The 2013 Royal Rumble winner grinned before getting serious. "Sheamus and Alicia are right, The Shield will be here tonight. Why? Why would they come out into the middle of this ring and leave themselves vulnerable?" He questioned.
Seth looked over at Olivia as if to say 'See?' She huffed in response and turned her attention back to what Cena was saying.
"I gotta hand it to them, it's a bold choice! But it's also a bad one. Because tonight The Shield meets the sword, justice meets the law! That is Ryback! He is Sheamus! She is the lovely Alicia Fox! I am John Cena, you want some! Come get some!" He finished and the four celebrated with the crowd as Cena's music played in the background.
"I despise all of those people in that ring." Dean declared, rolling his shoulders. "If they want to come out and fight? We'll give them a fight. But we need to target Cena. He's the reason why people like Ryback and Sheamus got into this business. He's the problem."
"The John Cena problem." Roman smirked.
"I'm using that tonight." Dean chuckled.
"So, we're after the Tensai/Brodus vs Primo/Epico tag match." Olivia said, rereading the match card that she had taken a photo of after getting her hair and makeup done.
"I still think we should've Triple Powerbombed someone." Seth said and she rolled her eyes, not being able to believe that Seth was still going on about it.
"Seth." Roman warned him. "We don't need that now. We need to show unity and not show any cracks."
After the Team of Brodus Clay and Tensai had defeated Primo and Epico in a 3 minute match, The Shield headed up to their usual entrance to get ready. Seth and Olivia walked next to each other, hardly even looking at each other until Seth spoke. "Are you still mad at me?" He asked softly once they were in the elevator.
Olivia sighed and looked at him. "I'm not mad…. I'm hurt and I'm tired and my nerves are fried. I don't want to talk about this now, Seth. I need to clear my head and I'll talk to you tomorrow at the Smackdown taping. I'll bunk with Cameron at the hotel tonight."
Seth nodded. "Alright." He muttered, looking like a sad puppy. However, that expression changed as they came out of the elevator and the fans saw them. They quickly became the deadly faction they were known as, with Olivia having her poker face on.
After the commercial break ended, they heard the music echo through the arena.
Sierra, Hotel, India, Echo, Lima, Delta
Shield.
The crowd gave them a mixed reaction and Roman and Olivia went down one side and Seth and Dean the other. Olivia occasionally glanced over to Seth as she walked down before a fan distracted her by throwing popcorn at her and Roman.
"Are you actually serious?" She looked at the fan as she and Roman continued down the stairs. "What an idiot." She commented to Roman who nodded in response and lifted her over the barricade. She walked into the ring, her head held high and her expression one of arrogance as she and her team demanded microphones from a production member.
"We are The Shield!" Dean began and Olivia laughed as the crowd booed them, not caring about how much they hated her stable. "And we stand united in this ring with a sole purpose of shielding WWE from atrocities! Atrocities like the ones John Cena commits every day! Like tonight! John Cena threatened The Shield?!" He all but growled, a manic expression on his face.
"Sheamus, Ryback, Alicia Fox and John Cena! You're heroes!" Seth gestured to the fans. "Think they're gonna accomplish something by threatening The Shield? Well in case you haven't noticed… when The Shield wants to deliver a message, we do it through action!" He declared.
"So why would you threaten us like that huh?" Olivia lifted her microphone to her lips. "Do you think words are going to intimidate us? No. No, no, no, no!" She shook her head. "If you idiots truly thought that was going to work… then you all have something wrong with you!" She finished.
"You're threatening us?" Roman questioned. "You are threatening… The Shield? Let's make it very simple, if you want us, come and get us!" He roared.
"Where you at, come on!" Seth demanded and Olivia stared at all three of her teammates. This was not going what she thought it would go but she was all for a brawl before Sunday.
"We're right here. Come out, come out wherever you are!" A psychotic smile crept onto her face.
But no one came out.
"Typical." Dean smirked. "Empty threat from an empty guy! An empty threat from four morally empty individuals."
"You couldn't get the job done last week with the whole roster." Roman said. "You could bring the whole world! And we will still be standing!"
"No one can touch us. No one will knock us down!" Olivia shrieked.
"You failed, John," Seth declared. "You failed last week, you fail every day when you get up and exist!"
"Holy shit." Oliva muttered quietly, slightly shocked at the words that just came out of her boyfriend's mouth.
"This Sunday, at Elimination Chamber will be no different! At the hands of The Shield, John Cena, you will fail again." Seth said simply.
"That's right! He will fail!" Dean agreed. "Because John Cena is a failure!" He said and Olivia nodded in agreement, a smirk on her face. "That's why we don't like you, John. You're not just a superstar, you're a philosophy. It's not what you've done, it's what you fail to do! The example you fail to set every day, smiling the day away in your little bubble. See, in your world there are no consequences, you can do and say whatever you want!"
"And you see, that's not the world we live in." Olivia said.
"That's what we call the John Cena problem." Dean clenched his jaw and Olivia sniggered, not being able to believe that he just said it.
"He's the problem!" Roman agreed. "He's been the problem for the past decade! We! The Shield, are the solution."
"You see John, whether it was your intention or not, the standard you set paved the way for the Sheamus' and the Rybacks of the world! You laid the groundwork, John! For an entire generation to believe in the system! To believe in you, John!" Seth yelled, pacing around the ring.
"And Alicia? You were noticed only because of your looks! Back when the WWE signed all of those models. And you were just one of them," Olivia smirked. "It doesn't make you any different than them, no matter how hard you try to be known as a wrestler."
"This Sunday, we have an opportunity. To rectify a decade of injustice in one fell swoop!" Seth said, an intense expression on his face.
"This Sunday we walk in together, we walk out together, you four might now walk out at all," Dean's smirk grew wider. "I suggest you four breathe as much fresh air as you can now, because on Sunday, The Shield is gonna drown you! Believe that!" He was practically spitting his words at the end.
"BELIEVE IN THE SHIELD!" Roman roared as the four paced around the ring.
"Where you at, huh?! HUH?!" Seth questioned their opponents.
"We are right here!" Olivia screeched, climbing a turnbuckle, trying to encourage them to come out.
"Last chance, guys!" Dean warned them. "Last chance, guys, we're right here! Shield isn't going anywhere!"
Olivia jumped off the turnbuckle as they waited and the crowd began to chant for Cena. Shaking her head, she looked over at Seth. "They're won't come out." She laughed, confident that their message had been sent.
"Where's your hero now, huh? Where's your hero now!" Seth yelled at the crowd, ignoring what she had said. Olivia narrowed her eyes in irritation before remembering what Roman had said about them showing a united front. She settled for pacing around the ring, occasionally trash talking the crowd as they continued to chant for Cena.
Suddenly the lights went out.
"Seth!" Olivia instantly shrieked and she felt a gloved hand cover her own.
"I'm here!" Their fight had been forgotten for now, they were faced with a new problem. However, Seth's hand was ripped away from hers as someone grabbed her by the hair and dragged her away. Olivia instantly started scratching and clawing at her attacker in an attempt to get away.
The lights then came one and she saw that it was Alicia who she was brawling with. The crowd was going nuts as the brawls continued, with Alicia and Olivia throwing punches at each other before Olivia drew back and slapped the Foxy Diva hard. Alicia's head swung to the left from the impact before she charged at the blonde diva and kicked her out of the ring. Coughing slightly and holding her stomach, Olivia stumbled over to where Roman was motioning to her and they pulled Dean out of the ring after he had been hit by a Meat Hook, courtesy of Ryback.
They walked over to where Seth was and in a group, humiliated and angry, The Shield attempted to retreat.
But it was not meant to be.
Cena, Ryback, Sheamus and Alicia all rolled out of the ring and the brawl continued. Alicia and Olivia went back and forth in front of the announce table before Alicia slammed Olivia's face into the table, causing Olivia to shriek and clutch her face in pain. Glaring at the former Diva's Champion, she stumbled back towards the ring and got in, motioning for Alicia to bring and noticing that Seth, Roman and Dean were trying to retreat through the crowd, yet Sheamus, Cena and Ryback kept following them.
"Come on Alicia, let's see if you can actually do that scissors kick!" She taunted and Alicia slid into the ring only for Olivia to roll out and jump over the barricade and disappear through the crowd.
Olivia walked through the hallways backstage, trying to catch her breath after what had happened. She was angry. Angry at herself, angry at their opponents and angry at the fact that their plan had failed. Opening the locker room door, she noticed that she was the first one back and she waited for her teammates, leaning against a locker and her arms folded. They then all walked in, looking as furious as she felt.
"Two weeks! That's two weeks in a row they've gotten the upper hand!" Dean growled.
"We needed to get the upper hand tonight and we didn't!" Seth said. "On Smackdown, we're interfering in a match to get the last word!"
"We're Triple Powerbombing someone tomorrow night!" Roman nodded.
"Oh hey guys, yeah I'm alright. Thanks for asking." Olivia said sarcastically. "No wait, our revenge is more important than everyone's well-being!"
Seth, Dean and Roman stared at her after outburst. "What has been up with you these past couple of days?" Dean asked.
She shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe it's because I need some time away after spending nearly two weeks on the road with you guys. Maybe it's because my idea fucking failed and now you're all probably thinking that I shouldn't do something like that again. Maybe—"
"Olivia, enough!" Seth interrupted her hysteria. "You're idea did not fail! We got our point across before they attacked us!" He said.
Olivia blinked. "Is that your way of apologising?" She asked.
"Yeah… I guess it is." Seth admitted.
"I still want to hear those words." She told him. "But not tonight. I'm having a shower and then going to find Cameron and Naomi so we can drive to Little Rock." She turned on her heel, grabbed her suitcase and went into the bathroom. After taking a quick shower, she walked out and to the locker room door. "I'll see you all tomorrow." Was all she said, looking anywhere but Seth, not wanting to see his face as she knew that it would break her resolve.
Taking a deep breath, Olivia walked out of the locker room, anxious to vent to Cameron and Naomi.
A/N: Oh Olivia, you're so stubborn. I knew the argument was petty but once you think about it, if they're spending every minute of every day together, an argument between them would be childish and immature haha. But, there will be some Seth/Olivia fluff in the next chapter so make sure you look out for that probably in the next week because I'm now on my Christmas break from work as of today! Thank you so much for reading and don't forget to leave a review! =) xx
