14-12-15 RAW
Dean, Roman and I arrived at the arena to see Stephanie McMahon in the ring.
'You ready for this brother?' I said to Roman placing a hand on his shoulder
'Yep' Roman said with a sigh as we watched Stephanie
'I stand before you as one of the principal owners of the WWE and as far as our society has come, it's obvious that women in business, women in power are still seen as cold-hearted, vindictive, and ruthless' Steph said as the crowd cheered
'She isn't wrong' I muttered
'But that's not who I am' Stephanie added
'Now she is wrong' I added as Dean and Roman laughed
'Take away the money and the education and I'm just like all of you. I'm a human being, I'm a wife and I'm a mother. Consider what it was like last night when I had to watch my defenceless husband brutally and savagely attacked by Roman Reigns. Imagine what it feels like as a parent after looking into your daughter's eyes and explain why Roman Reigns beat up daddy, why he's spitting up blood all night in the hospital. Well, it's obvious to me that all of you want me to be cold-hearted, vindictive, and ruthless. So, if that's what you want, then that's what you're going to get. Roman Reign, you not only attacked my husband, you attacked the COO of WWE, you attacked your boss. Therefore, you leave me no other choice' Stephanie said before Roman's music hit and he made his way down to the ring. Roman jumped into the ring with a microphone. They stared at each other as the crowd chanted 'Thank You Roman'
'You see, I'm a father too and today is actually my daughter's birthday. I love you JoJo. I can't wait to see you when I get home. With that being said, I don't feel bad at all about whipping your husband's ass.' Roman said firmly
'You have a lot of nerve coming out here, Roman, wishing your little girl Happy Birthday. You don't take this seriously. How would it feel for your wife to look in your baby girl's eyes and explain about the beating that you took? How would that feel? You better have something sharp to say. Come on, Roman, bring it because I'm ready' Stephanie begged
'Like I said, I'm a little tight on time. If you're going to fire me, fire me please' Roman begged
'Roman, you are nothing more than a coward. These people are chanting, 'Thank You Roman', yes, thank you, Roman, for, once again, losing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and blaming everybody else but yourself, taking it out on my poor defenceless husband who had nothing to do with your loss. Accept the responsibility, Roman. You are a failure and you're a disgrace' Stephanie yelled as Roman laughed
'I'm the disgrace? I'm the disgrace? No, No Steph. You are a disgrace and your husband is a disgrace, as a matter of fact, your whole family is a disgrace' Roman said as Stephanie fumed. Stephanie slapped Roman and he simply smirked. So she slapped him again and again and again.
'Just one more thing. I'm not going to fire you because my husband asked me not to. But I'll tell you what, there's someone on the way to the arena right now, who just might, and that's the chairman of the board of this company; Vincent Kennedy McMahon!' Steph yelled and left the ring.
….
Dean and I walked towards the ring and I laughed as we walked back Roman
'You look like a tomato' I said to Roman playfully slapping his red cheek.
'Shut up Kaylee' Roman muttered and left as Dean and I laughed.

…
Dean and I walk through the back as we see JoJo walk up to Kevin on the TV
'Kevin, we know that you're upset about losing the…' JoJo started to say
'Oh, you know? You, you know? Trust me, you don't know. No one knows' Kevin said
'But do you feel that you are justified in attacking Dean Ambrose like that?' JoJo asked
'I don't have to justify myself to you or anybody. All you need to worry about is the fact that what you just saw, was only the beginning. You think Dean Ambrose is a lunatic now? I won't stop until I drive him absolutely insane, put him in an institution and take back MY intercontinental title' Kevin explained and walked off
'Let him try' Dean muttered angrily
…..
Dean, Roman and I watch as Vince got into the ring
'Roman Reigns, get your ass out here!' Vince said firmly into the microphone and Roman's music hit and he walked down to the ring via the ramp this time.
'Good luck bro' I whisper as Dean hugs me tightly.
'I can tell you're intimidated. It's okay. I have a certain presence about me, I can't help. Well, look at you, you're standing here and my son-in-law is back in Connecticut suffering' Vince said as Roman smirked
'Don't give me that smile' Vince said
'So before I make up my mind. Apologize' Vince said and Roman simply shook his head
'I know what all this means to you, pal, don't give me that shake in the head. You want to apologize. As a matter of fact, get down on your hands and knees and apologize' Vince said and Roman shook his head
'You know, there was a time when I would beat an apology out of you' Vince said as Roman smirked
'You think that's funny? You think I can't do it right now?' Vince asked and Roman shook his head. Vince took of his jacket and put down his microphone, when suddenly Shamus's music hit
'Mr. McMahon, please, excuse the interruption. It's not that I don't think you can take him, it's just that I want the pleasure of beating an apology out of Roman Reigns myself. That's right. There is no man on this planet who should ever disrespect you and there's no man who should ever, ever disrespect The McMahon Family. So Mr. McMahon, on behalf of your Irish coat of arms…' Sheamus said but was interrupted by the crowd chanting ' You look stupid'.
'You think I look stupid? All of you paid to seem me tonight, so what does that make you? As I was saying, sir, on behalf of your Irish coat of arms, please allow me to challenge Roman Reigns tonight. You can wipe that smirk off your face, lad. I've beaten you before. Remember Survivor Series? 5 minutes and 15 seconds. And how about last night at Tables, Ladders, and chairs when I beat you again? And I know you're not 100% after that beating you took. Roman, everybody knows I can beat you any time, any place, anywhere, whenever I want. Hell, I'm so confident I can beat you tonight, why don't we put the WWE World Heavyweight championship on the line?' Sheamus said and the crowd cheered. Roman nodded and looking at Vince
'I suppose you would like that, wouldn't you? So what about everybody? Would you like to see a championship match tonight? You people fall for that one every freaking time. That's unbelievable because there's no chance in hell' Vince said as the crowd booed until Roman took the microphone from Vince
'Why not, old man? You used to talk about how you got these big old grapefruits but it just sounds like you have old shrivelled up prunes now. Let's face it, you're 70 years old and time is passing you by' Roman said and shoved the microphone back to Vince.
'Son of a bitch, you've got your match. On one condition, if you don't become WWE World Heavyweight Champion tonight… you're fired!' Vince announced and kicked Roman in the nuts. Roman fell onto his knees as Vince left the ring.
'Oh damn' Dean winced out the back
….
Dean and I sat out the back with Roman as he prepared for his match. I watched as Becky, Charlotte and Ric made their way down to the ring.
Charlotte will start the match against Brie Bella. They lock up, and Charlotte wrenches the arm, but Brie takes her down. Charlotte connects with a neck breaker as the fans chant, "We want Sasha."

….
Dean and I watch from the back as Roman makes his way to the ring, for what could be the last time
'What if he loses Dean?' I whisper concerned and Dean pulls me onto his lap.
'We will deal with that if it happens' Dean said back but he was just as concerned

The referee hands Roman Reigns the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and the crowd loudly cheers him. Roman talks trash to an unconscious McMahon, who slides off the apron. Roman stands up on the ring corner and holds up his championship proudly. The Usos, Dean and I run down to the ring.

We put him down and Dean wraps his arm around me happily as we watched from get a microphone.
'You all better stop or I'm going to cry again' Roman said as The Uso danced in the background to the 'Roman' chant they had going on.
'For real though, it's wasn't that long again at Royal Rumble, you all know what it was, it was tough. But a lot of my progression and a lot of my focus and motivation came from that night so in a weird hindsight way; thank you so much guys' Roman said as they cheered loudly
'Because hey, life ain't fair and sometimes you got to get kicked in the ass to get better and that's what happened and that's why we are here now so thank you so much! I'll never forget tonight and one more time for my sweet little 8-year-old at home, JoJo, Happy Birthday Baby. I can't wait to get HOME!' Roman said as he dropped the microphone and held up the title.
