Roadblock:End of the Line PPV 2016
Ellie slaps Chris shoulder to an uproar and head snap from Chris.
"What?!" Byron was in shock.
"A-ha, what was that Byron about her wanting to keep her distance?" Corey asks him. "You were saying?" Ellie walks the apron eyeing Seth, but she stops and glares at him. "I don't know about you but this place is coming unglued to see this!"
"I know I am!" Cole says. "This has been building for months and months! Now it is time for them to settle the hate that was made. Listen to this place!"
"It's all I can do!" Corey chuckles.
Seth glares daggers at her and slowly shakes his head. "...Don't do it."
Ellie head tilts with a smirk; it drops, she quickly springboards over the ropes for a move but Seth gets out of the way. She fell to the mat in a roll and back up to her feet. Seth went to hit with a spin kick but she ducks, Ellie came back with hers but he ducked. He went to her: Ellie hits him with an overhead kick that sent Seth staggering back.
"Overhead kick to Rollins!" Cole calls it.
"With grace I might add!" Corey chimes. Ellie went to grab him, Seth jumps; hitting her with an enziguri in retaliation. As she staggered around she jumped back with a pele kick to hit him on the head. "Right on the button!" Seth stumbled and fell to the ropes as Ellie fell to the other side of the ring. "Ellie and Seth are both rocked. Both of them with an answer. Right out of the gates these two!"
Ellie pulled herself up, and Seth runs to her. He was stopped by a kick to the stomach and a back hand that sent him stumbling back to the center of the ring.
"Oh!" Byron winces. "What a slap." Ellie runs, Seth picks her up in a tilt a whirl.
Ellie twirls and locks the Brooks Widow in on him.
"Brooks Widow!" Cole shouts. "Brooks Widow to Rollins! Ellie's got it locked in!" The crowd cheers in suspense, shouting for him not to tap out. "Like a snake. Seth Rollins is seeing first hand how easy you can mess up in a ring with Ellie!"
"I bet you he wishes he watched her matches now!" Corey jokes. "Ellie has got it locked on tight!"
Ellie screams, extending his arm and tightening her leg over his neck. "Tap out Seth!" Seth makes a fist, she shakes her head. "Tap!"
"Ellie screaming at Rollins to tap!" Byron says. "She's got it locked in! The architect has got to hang on!"
"Hang on to who or what? Ellie?!" Corey questions.
"Tap out Rollins!" Chris shouts. "TAP!"
"Rollins trying to fight back, he's trying!" Cole watches on the edge of his seat. Seth death grips her thigh. Ellie yells. "O-Oh! Look at Rollins! Rollins is gripping the thigh of Ellie!"
"More like trying to rip it off!" Corey retorts. Ellie screams when she felt his nails dig in and drops her hold of his arm. Seth shifts her twirl to a fireman's carry, he drops to the mat with her to a loud reaction. "Seth got out of it!" Ellie rolls off holding her leg. "I have never seen anyone get out of the move like that but desperate times calls for desperate measures! It got her to let it go."
Seth rolls over;holding onto his arm.
"Still, how much damage was done to Seth in the process?" Byron questions.
"Ellie!" Chris holds his hand out for her. Ellie rolls over on all fours, her eyes caught Seth. She ignores Chris as her blood runs cold at the man across from her. "Tag me in."
Ellie gets up and shakes her leg off—she watches Seth roll on the mat. Grabbing Seth up by his hair, he slaps off her hands and pushes her forward. Before Ellie could turn around, Seth grabs her from behind.
"Wait-wait, wait!" Cole was cut off guard. Seth hits a german suplex that sends her screaming across the ring. "Seth Rollins suckered her in! Taking a play out of Ellie's book."
Ellie hits the other side holding her back.
"She landed real hard to." Byron points out.
"The only thing about being in a match with an ex, they know you better than anybody." Corey said. Ellie uses the ropes to pull herself up;facing the corner. Seth gets himself together and runs to her. Ellie holds the ropes and uses her legs to grab Seth head in between her knees. "What's Ellie-!" She pulls Seth forward by her legs. His face snaps off the turnbuckle. "Oh! Rollins stunned!"
Seth slumps in the corner face first.
Ellie jumps down behind him, she hits a sharp kick to his back.
Seth had no time to take it in, Ellie grabs him by the hair and slams him back to hit his head off the mat. His hands quickly went to cradle his head as he rolled on his side.
A cold gaze comes over her eyes as she watches him on the mat.
Everything since the beginning of them meeting started to flow back into her memory. The rage of it all followed right behind it and the bad times erased the good. It was nothing she could do anymore, things were in the point of no return and there was no going back.
The stress of it all kept coming to the surface no matter her fight in trying to keep it all down and block it out of her mind.
Chris saw her breakdown from the other side of the ring. "Ellie-El!"
Ellie pushes her hair out her face with a shaky hand but her hard gaze never left Seth.
"Ellie is just staring a cold hole through Rollins right now. I don't even think she hears Jericho right now!" Cole says. "You know I am one of those people who thought it would honestly never come to this between Ellie and Seth Rollins."
"Nobody did." Byron agreed. "We knew they had their problems but for it to resort to this."
Ellie fights back her emotions but the tears stung and started to cloud her vision.
Chris tries to get her attention. "Ellie!"
"We said it from the gate. This match is all emotions." Corey watches Ellie. "Who's emotions will make them crack first. Ellie looks like she is slowly losing herself in there, I see it. A person can only hold it in for so long. It's one thing to say what you're going to do to a person when you get in the ring with them but emotions come back to either help you or destroy you. I mean this didn't start out as complete hate between them. I believe, Ellie Brooks cared about Seth Rollins."
"I believe that too, Corey." Cole agrees. "Just why did it have to come to this."
With a choked up cry, Ellie breathes heavy as she runs a hand down her face in frustration of her tears trying to fall.
Flashback...
"I think you should get like a, SR, tattoo." Seth points to her arm. Ellie smirks, raising an amused brow at him. "It could fit right in between the rose here," he points to her shoulder. "-and then we could..."
"Not a chance buddy." Ellie lowers his hand. "Not unless you're getting my name on you too."
Seth shrugs with his own smirk. "I could do that for you." Ellie chuckles. Rolling her eyes; she shakes her head at him. "Come on, you know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do for you." Ellie laughs it off and went to leave but his arm goes around her waist. It stops her in her tracks. Ellie brows knot together and her curious eyes flicker up to him. "I was being serious, Elle..."
"Were you really?" Ellie asks, trying to be playful but the closed space and his touch made it hard.
"I'm never not serious when it comes to you, Brooks." Seth smiles. "I thought you would know that by now."
"I try to believe it." Ellie admits—she slowly nods her head. "You just never know."
"Well I know." Seth tells her. "You may not know but I do. Even if it's against what you want sometimes, if it is for you...I'll do it. If it means you hating me, I will take that chance."
Ellie's brow quirked. "Oh yeah, what's in it for you to do that?"
Seth shrugs. "Our continued arguing and me being with you on our way to retire out of here one day."
Ellie chuckles. "Now that I can get with."
Seth thinks about it. "I always do wonder, if anything we have is a two way street or just one. You're a very hard person to figure out." Ellie cracks a slight grin. "I can never tell where your head is with anything."
"Your never supposed to." She shakes her head. Ellie places a hand on his arm around her. "All you need to know, Seth Rollins...is that I will walk any war path with you." Seth eyes searched hers for a lie but only the truth showed. "No matter who it's against. I will always be there and even when you think I'm not, I promise you that I am." She smiles. "I got your back...against everyone."
Seth slowly nods and cracks a smile. "I know you do. And thank you," Ellie brows knot together confused. "For staying with me. I honestly think you're the only one who can see pass all my bull crap." Ellie smiles and relaxes her hand on the side of his face. "I just want one day for my life to be like what it used to be but with you in it. To be myself again, you know? To not feel like The Authority's little golden boy anymore, or hate the person I am when I look in the mirror. I want to get my old self back...I just don't know how to do that or where to even begin. All I know is that I can't go back to being him. I can't be that guy again and if you ever do see me going back to being him...promise you'll stop me?"
Ellie nods. "I promise." Seth looks down making her give a sad smile. "Hey, come on." His eyes went back to hers. "You have my word. I know your a good guy behind that, stupid, evil laugh that you do." Seth chuckles. "And one day, you'll get the redemption you need to help you move on. Even if I have to make it happen myself, and when you do get it, your gonna burn everything about the old you to the ground."
Seth smirks. "Burn it down?"
Ellie giggles, nodding. "That's right. Burn-it-down," She points her finger in his chest. "-because you're Seth freaking Rollins. You got me?"
"Yeah, I got you." Running a hand through her hair, he tugs her closer and kisses the top of her head with a slight laugh. "I really don't know what I'd do without you. You know that?"
Ellie moves and hugs his waist, he wraps his arms around her. "Eh, you'd probably retire early." Seth laughs but agrees with her.
End flashback
Seth—on hands and knees starts to get up. Ellie kicks him down in his chest.
Corey reacts. "That kick was personal-and oh!" Jumping on Rollins; she lands left and right repeated strikes. "Giving Seth no opportunity! That was a mean kick!"
"El-Ellie is lighting Rollins up!" Byron jaw dropped. Ellie screams as she wasn't stopping making the crowd cheer at the strike punches. "She's gonna end up giving Rollins a black eye!" Ellie starts landing just hard repeated rights. "Rollins having to cover up from all of this!"
"It's all coming out!" Corey warns. "I think that may have been why Ellie stayed out the match. Too much anger." Seth flips her over. "Trying to turn it around!" Ellie presses her feet in his chest and flips him over her. "But there is that leg strength!" Seth hits the other side on his back.
Rolling up to his feet, he runs to her but Ellie side steps. She spins and hits him with a high sharp kick on the side of his head to a reaction from everyone.
"Caught him!" Byron reacts. Seth falls down. When Ellie walks over, Seth pulls one of her moves and placed both his feet in her midsection, sending her with a flip in the corner. "Wo-oah!"
Ellie fell in the corner holding her head as both of them were down and the crowd on their feet.
"Ellie!" Chris calls out to get her back in it.
"These two are throwing everything at the other." Corey watches. "It's just so much tension in that very ring. You can feel it!" Ellie crawls up to her feet, she runs to go tag in Chris. Seth catches her with a drop toe hold; her face smacks off the mat. "Blocking Ellie!"
"Ouch." Corey winces.
Ellie holds her mouth with a frown.
"That is another smart plan." Cole points out. "If Rollins can isolate Ellie away from Jericho or at least one from the other then he will have a good chance."
Chris eyes were on Ellie as Seth ran over. Seth drop kicks him off the apron.
"And there goes Jericho!" Cole says. Chris hit the announce table before falling to the floor. Seth goes over to Ellie and picks her up, he whips her to the ropes and goes for his signature kick. Ellie holds the ropes—sliding under and out. "Ellie not wanting any parts of that."
Ellie went to check on Chris.
"I think she's checking on her best friend." Corey defends. "Or she didn't want to get kicked in the face, both is fine. If I was Jericho or Ellie, I really wouldn't turn my back to this Rollins."
Seth pushes his hair back to show the glare in his eyes, he marches over to the ropes and gets out on the apron.
"Yeah but that's not stopping Rollins." Byron warns. Ellie helps Chris up to his feet. They turn around and Chris pushes her out of the way as Seth came down with a knee from off the apron that hit Chris right on the temple. "And Rollins with a knee off the top rope to Jericho but I think it was meant for Ellie!" Cole calls it. "Jericho pushed her out of harms way and was left right in the path of Rollins."
"They both turned and one felt it." Byron says. Ellie went to get up, Seth grabs a fistful of her shirt and throws her away, face first, against the announce table. "Oh my gosh!"
Ellie slides off on the floor.
"Seth Rollins just rag dolled our women's champion right on the announce table down there!" Corey couldn't believe that.
"I asked him the question if he could do it." Cole mentions. "I asked him if he could and I think Seth Rollins is thinking more of revenge more so then helping Ellie right now. Like you said Corey, all that anger is coming back to him, everything that Ellie has done.
Seth goes over to the barricade as the crowd was up on their feet cheering for him.
"It's coming back in waves." Corey nods. "That is where this aggression is suddenly coming from. You can want to help someone but when what they did to you is burned in your memory, sometimes that makes you forget."
Seth picks up Chris when he saw him getting up and throws him right into the barricade to send him sprawled out on the floor
"And bouncing hard off the barricade goes Jericho!" Cole shouts. Seth glares down at Chris. "He is doing what he does best."
"To be fair, we haven't seen this type of aggression and will of Seth Rollins in a long time. The last time I have seen this Seth was back when he was still a member of The Shield." Corey said. "This match and everything he is going through, it is driving out the old Seth Rollins."
"Ellie, Owens, Triple H, and Chris Jericho have pushed him to this, Corey." Cole answers him. "It was only a matter of time before this all implodes, before Seth Rollins maybe snaps." Seth slowly turns his head over his shoulder to look at Ellie who stiffened at the sight of him. Her wide eyes look from Chris to Seth. "Oh, no. Uh-oh! Seth just took out Chris Jericho and he's out."
Ellie scoots back slow, she puts her hand out for him to stay back. "Seth...let's talk about this."
"There is only one person left to go after!" Corey says.
Cole was loving this. "Ellie realizes who she's now alone with."
Seth turns around, he walks towards her.
"I said talk, that's not talking-that's walking!" Ellie shakes her head rapid. "Don't you look at me like that, stay away from me!" Seth continued to take slow steps to her. "Seth!"
Cole laughs. "Ellie doesn't want anything to do with this anymore!"
"To late!" Byron cheers. Ellie scrambles to her feet, she makes a run for it. Seth takes off ruining right behind her. "Ellie trying to make a run for it and Rollins is right on her trail!"
"This is the first time I have seen Ellie run from anybody!" Corey is shocked. "She wants no part of this Rollins!"
The crowd cheers when Seth grabs her from behind before she could run up the ramp. Ellie screams and tries to fight out his grip but Seth turns her around and hits a suplex right on the floor.
"Oh!" Cole and Byron react with the crowd.
Ellie yells from pain and rolls over holding her back.
"Right on the floor!" Corey winces. Ellie drags herself over to the apron, she pulls herself up. Seth glares getting to his feet as he watched her. "All that anger Seth Rollins has been holding back. Ellie asked for majority of this. I never want to see her hurt but this was something she brought on herself."
Seth reached for her, Ellie spins around and grabs him, driving her knee into his stomach.
"Ellie now fighting back!" Cole says. Seth stumbled back until she grabbed him and went to bounce his face off the apron. Seth uses his hands on the apron to block. "Wait-" Seth hits her with a quick blow to her stomach. "And Rollins turning it around! Knocking the wind out of her!" Ellie holds her stomach and went to fall to the floor but Seth bounces her face off the apron instead. "Taking out Ellie. Face first right off the apron!"
Ellie fell back holding her stomach and rolls over kicking the floor.
"Rollins is a man possessed out there!" Byron says. Seth rolls in the ring to stop the count and rolls back out. "Keeping the match in tact. Seth is out to punish Ellie for everything. You can only push a man so far before it leads to this." Ellie uses the barricade to pick herself up but stumbles back down to the floor coughing. "That blow to her stomach took a lot of her."
"It was a hard blow. I don't care who you are, if you can't breathe, you can't fight." Corey points out. "Rollins knows this woman. He knows how to keep Ellie grounded."
Seth stalks behind her with a head shake. "This is your fault, all of this is your fault." Ellie hears this as she coughs and crawls away to get up. "I warned you Brooks. But that's all you do, right?! You can do everything on your own, you don't need anybody huh?" Seth yanks her to him by her shirt. "What are you doing this for, huh!" Ellie struggles to stay on her feet. "Look at me and tell me!"
"Seth wants to win this match but there it is." Cole points it out. "It's something about Ellie and what she has done. He can't let it go."
Seth shakes her. "Tell me why! Just-"
Ellie open hand smacks him hard across the face to a loud reaction. Seth staggers back on his feet, holding his cheek.
"What a slap!" Cole shouts. Seth turns around into a super kick to a huge reaction. "And Ellie with a superkick, a last resort!"
"Right on the chin to, my gosh!" Corey reacts. Seth falls against the apron. Ellie quickly pushes him in the ring and rolls inside. He sits up on his knees, Ellie bounces off the ropes, she hits a low cart wheel and grabs his head between her legs before she drags him down in a DDT. "Low cart wheel DDT by Ellie!"
Ellie rolls him over and covers him.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Thre-"
Seth kicks out just in time to shock.
"Rollins kicking out just before three!" Byron calls it. "I thought Ellie had it."
"No!" Ellie screams, she covers him again.
"So did I!" Corey says. "She's going for it again!"
"One!"
"Two!"
Seth kicks out and away from her.
"Kick out at two this time by Rollins." Cole said. Ellie slaps the mat a couple of times and runs her hair back. "A bit of frustration peeking through."
"Ellie needs to stay focused on Rollins, stay on Rollins." Corey says. "All the anger is clouding the champs judgement." Seth pulls himself up on the ropes, Ellie runs to him but she was elbowed back in the face to send her stumbling back. He runs and hits her with a sling blade. "Sling blade out the gate!"
Turning her over, he covers her.
"One!"
"Two!"
Ellie kicks out.
"Kick out at two by Ellie, and Rollins once again taking control of things." Cole watches. Seth holds his head as he stands up. "Still feeling the affects of Ellie with that kick and DDT."
Ellie turns over on her stomach; she was at his feet and grabs his tights leg to pull herself up.
Seth looks down and shakes his head at her slowly, he grabs her up but she pushes out of his grip. Ellie grabs him and drops down in a monkey flip, sending Seth flying across the ring.
"Now it's Ellie sending Seth for a ride!" Corey says shocked.
"Did you see the height?!" Byron exclaims. "Wow!"
Seth held his back with a yell, he held the ropes and leans on them.
"Seth seeing first hand the resistance and leg strength of Ellie!" Corey said.
Ellie laid on her back trying to recover.
"This gives Ellie some separation." Byron points out. "You got to imagine how much this takes out of her. This is a man Ellie is in the ring with. There is a difference between a man and a woman in that ring at the end of the day. I really don't think she was fully recovered from that blow to the stomach that Rollins gave her earlier."
Ellie gets up, she runs to Seth but he sent her right into the corner, shoulder first into the post.
"Oh!" The commentators and crowd reacts.
"Shoulder first in the post goes Ellie!" Cole says. As she hit it, Ellie fell out and on the apron holding her shoulder. "Ellie hit hard."
"She's favoring it." Corey spots it. "This is what we worried about!" The ref went over to check her on the apron when she sits up still holding on to it. "I don't like this at all guys. Ellie went hard into that ring post and at full speed."
Seth slides out of the ring, he goes over to her and swings. Ellie falls back, ducking the blow; and hits him with an echoed kick to the side of his face.
'Ooh!' The crowd reacts.
"Rollins rocked!" Byron says. Seth stumbles, falling to one knee. Holding his face, he checks his lip for blood and looks back at her shocked. "The resistance of Ellie Brooks, I tell you guys!"
"It's out of this world!" Corey laughs. "Rollins did not see it coming from her." Ellie rolls in the ring, Seth slides in behind her. Ellie grabs, and throw him over in a judo flip. "Ellie fighting back against Seth Rollins! What a throw!"
"That woman is a force to be reckoned with." Cole states. Ellie clutches her shoulder and gets out on the apron. "She is still favoring that shoulder but she's isn't going down without a fight, just like Rollins. This is what makes them tough opponents for each other."
Seth runs to her. Ellie uses the second rope to shoulder him in the gut with her uninjured side. Seth staggers back, holding his stomach.
Ellie springboards, she hold the ropes and hits a gymnastic move in mid air on the ropes to twist and land on Seth shoulders in the electric chair position.
No one could react fast enough as she hits him with a backwards hurricurana.
"What in the athleticism was that?!" Corey jaw went slacked. "Just-what!"
"A backward hurricurana to Rollins and in a way I don't think I've ever seen before! That was like a gymnastics move!" Cole was shock and impressed. "I don't know where that came from!"
"That was incredible!" Byron says.
The two of them were laid out on the mat as the crowd continued going loudly.
"I mean that was just sick!" Corey was still loosing his mind over the move. "Ladies and gentlemen. Ellie-freaking-Brooks. I, just-wow!" The replay of the moved showed. "She took herself down in the process but that is one strong girl."
Ellie drags herself up to her feet.
Seth got on his hand and knees to get up, Ellie runs and hits him with double knees to the face.
"Shinning Wizard!" Cole exclaims.
Ellie covers him.
"One!"
"For the cover!" Cole said.
"Two!"
"T-"
Seth kicks out to a loud reaction.
"What?!" Corey questions. "She got every bit of that!"
"Every single bit. I agree with you Corey!" Cole says. Ellie eyes widened looking to the ref, she looks back down at Seth.
"I got the same look Ellie has." Byron laughs. "I don't know how Rollins got out of that."
Chris uses the ropes to pull himself up on the apron. Ellie gets to her feet and grabs a fist full of Seth's hair, he snatches out of her grip and pushes Ellie to slam into Chris. "Oh! Ellie slamming right into Jericho! Jericho was finally getting back into things and Rollins took him back out."
"Jericho hasn't been right since that knee and now Rollins took him out using Ellie." Corey said. "Seth doing a good job at keeping Ellie and Jericho apart right now. Turning it into more of a one on one, which is smart but how long can he keep it up." Seth reaches for her. Ellie grabs his head and drops down, checking his chin off her knee. "That'll stun you!"
Ellie runs to him and jumps on Seth who lifts her up but she drags him right down into a screaming DDT.
"DDT to Rollins!" Cole shouts.
"That could do it!" Byron says.
Seth was stunned on his knees. Ellie hops up and hits a kick under his chin.
"Oh!" Byron reacts.
"Lights-Out!" Corey states. "That is it, good-night Rollins!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"Th-"
Seth kicks out to a huge reaction from the crowd.
Ellie shot up wide eyed.
"He kicked out!" Cole says. "Rollins kicked out again!" Ellie slowly shakes her head as she looks back at him still in shock. "Ellie thought she at least had it with that."
"I thought she had him earlier!" Corey comments. "Rollins is just not going down."
Ellie mumbles to herself. "That should have been three. That was supposed to be three." She shakes her head and pushes her hair back.
"Ellie is in shock right now." Byron points out. Seth sits up. "I don't think she believes he kicked out, she can't believe it." Ellie grabs him over in a pin attempt. "She's trying for another one!"
"One!"
"Two-"
Seth wiggles out just in time to cheers from the crowd but an irritated scream from Ellie.
"Rollins again kicked out at Ellie's surprise pin. Only upsetting her more." Cole points out.
Seth rolls over on his back.
Ellie holds the ropes; down one knee across from Seth. She looks at him and shakes her head slowly at him. "Stay. Down." Ellie stumbles up to her feet. Seth rolls over and pushes himself up on one knee, Ellie runs and kicks him down in the chest. "I said stay down!"
"The anger from Ellie, just yelling at Rollins to stay down." Cole says.
"He's not going to do it." Corey shakes his head. Ellie goes over to the corner and looks back to make sure he was down. "The wheels in Ellie's head is turning." Ellie holds her shoulder and gets out on the apron. "What-What is she doing?" Seth rolls over on his back. The crowd cheers loud when Ellie starts to go up the turnbuckle. "No. No, no, no. Ellie, what are you doing?"
"I can think of a couple things!" Byron says.
Ellie gets on the top rope.
"The champ is high!" Cole said. "This could end good or bad."
"Bad!" Corey answers. "Ellie is with one arm on the top rope. What is she trying to do up there?!" Seth shoots up and runs up the corner. "Bad, bad! Seth played possum!" Seth takes her off the top in a suplex and rolls through with her.
Seth lifts her up and hits her with Falcons Arrow to a huge reaction.
"Suplex off the top into the Falcons Arrow!" Cole exclaims.
"That's gotta be it!" Byron shouts.
Seth holds her leg as the ref drops down.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Thre-"
Chris jumps down on them to a loud mixed reaction as he broke the pin.
"Jericho in the nick of time!" Cole couldn't believe it. "How close was that?!"
"Extremely!" Corey agrees.
"That was a second away from three! I mean that was so close, I don't think Ellie was going to kick out of that one!" Byron says.
"Thank god for Jericho!" Corey praised.
Ellie rolls over still out of it.
Chris gets to his feet and goes out on the apron, he reaches his hand out. "Ellie! Ellie come on!"
Ellie drags herself across the ring.
"If there was ever the time to make the tag Ellie!" Corey begs. "Now would be the time!" Ellie continues to pull herself but had to stop. "That move took so much out of her." Replays showed. "Just look at that. I'm surprised she can even move. That's the second time the wind has been taken from her."
Seth shakes off the blow from Chris and staggers up to his feet.
"She's getting there!" Byron watches in anticipation. Ellie crawls on her hands and knees to get there quicker. Seth grabs her foot to cheers. "Not so fast! Seth has her." Seth drags a screaming Ellie across the mat to him. She turns on her back and pulls him in before giving a strong kick with both feet that sent him flying back. "And Ellie breaking free!"
Ellie scrambles up, she takes a run and leaps; tagging Chris in the match to the crowds excitement.
"Tag to Jericho!" Cole calls it. Ellie falls off the apron to the floor. Seth runs and hits him with a clothesline. "And Rollins right on the attack!" Chris gets up, Seth hits him with a series of clotheslines. "Not giving Jericho any breathing room. This is how it has been since the start."
Chris ducks a clothesline and hits Seth with a kick to his stomach. He grabs Seth, and with a spin he throws Seth through the second ropes.
Seth caught himself on the apron.
Chris comes back but got a right hand from Seth, to send him stumbling back.
"Rollins stunning Jericho!" Byron says. Seth readies himself, waiting for Chris. "What's Rollins thinking here?"
Seth sends himself off the rope in a springboard.
"Seth gonna launch himself off the second rope." Cole said. Chris catches Seth leg as he comes down. "Caught by Jericho! Jericho caught him." Chris grabs his other leg and tries to turn a fighting Seth over on his stomach. "Looking for the walls! Jericho trying to turn Rollins over on his belly." Chris gets him on his stomach. "Can he do it here?" Chris locks in the Walls of Jericho as Seth yells out in pain. "And he does, gonna sit out!" The crowd were on their feet loud for Rollins not to tap as the ref continued to ask a yelling Rollins if he wanted to quit. "Tremendous pressure on the lower back of Rollins!"
Seth reaches for the ropes in pain. He shakes his head and balls his hands into fist before gripping tight fistfuls of his hair.
"You wanna quit?" The ref asks. "Seth!"
Seth yells, he shakes his head no.
"Rollins needs to make it to the bottom rope or tap out!" Cole says. "How much fight does he have left in him?"
"Every second becomes pivotal now for Seth Rollins. Trying to find a way to escape this, immediately." Byron said. Seth scratches to reach for the ropes.
"Rollins eyes are locked on the bottom rope but can he make it?" Corey questions.
"Are you gonna quit?" The ref asks Seth again.
"Long way away from the bottom rope!" Cole points out. "Seth Rollins, is he gonna tap here. Is he gonna tap?" Seth drags himself and Chris. "Trying to dig down deep!"
"Ohh, I think he's got it!" Byron points.
Seth reaches as he drags Chris again.
"Fingertips away!" Cole shouts. "Fingertips!" Seth drags one more time before grabbing a hold of the ropes. "And he does, and that's gonna force the break." Chris drops Seth and holds up his fist. The ref goes over to explain to Chris that Seth didn't tap out. "Chris appears to think Seth tapped out but he didn't. The question is, has the damage been done to Rollins."
Chris argued with the ref. "He tapped out! I heard it!"
"Come on man, he didn't tap out Chris!" The ref argues back with him. "He didn't tap Chris."
Chris turns and goes to the ropes where Seth rested and starts kicking him down repeatedly in frustration. He continues to kick him until Seth is out on the apron, holding on to the ropes to not fall.
The ref comes over, forcing Chris to stop because of Seth being on the ropes.
Chris walks away trying to contain his anger as he goes over to the ropes for a breather.
Ellie uses the apron to hold on to as she was halfway up on the floor, watching everything.
Seth grabs the ropes and pulls himself up on the apron. Chris runs to the corner by Seth, he uses the ropes to spring off for his drop kick to Seth off the apron but Seth catches him with a jumping knee to the face.
"And this time it's Rollins who connects!" Cole says. The knee stuns Chris before he fell to the mat on his back.
"That was well scouted by Rollins." Corey nods. Seth fights up to the top rope. "The architect looking for the top rope. It didn't end so well for Ellie, lets see how it works out for him!"
"This is an opportunity now for Rollins." Cole agrees. Seth gets to the top and stands tall. He jumps off for the frog splash. Ellie runs in and tackles Chris out of the way making Seth miss and hit the mat. "And Ellie with the save! Rollins missed it!"
"Nobody home! Where did she come from?!" Byron says in shock. Seth holds his ribs from the missed connection. "I thought she was still out!"
"She was lying and wait!" Corey chuckles, in knowing. "That's the difference with having a partner watching your back. Chris looked out for her earlier. Ellie now repaying the favor." Ellie holds her shoulder as she rolls up to her feet. "Still holding that shoulder."
Seeing Seth was down, Chris and Ellie ran pass each other.
They hit the ropes and both hit a lionsault to a loud reaction. Ellie rolls out of the ring, on the apron.
"Double lionsault by Ellie and Jericho!" Byron says.
"In-sync!" Corey loved it. "Now that is teamwork!"
Chris drops and covers Seth.
"One!"
"Jericho to knock of Rollins at Roadblock!" Cole says
"Two!"
"T-"
Seth kicks out and rolls over to the other side.
"-kickout at two!"
Chris rolled on his stomach.
Ellie grips her hair falling to her knees on the apron with a head shake.
"A missed calculation and the gain of it being two on one. It's costing Rollins in a big way." Corey said. "Crashing and burning on the frog splash and being nailed with a double lionsault. That is another body coming down on you, taking more and more out of Rollins."
The crowd starts a clap for all of them as they were loving it.
Chris sits up and looks to Ellie who stands up on her feet.
"Jericho looking to Ellie, they're trying to figure out what they need to do to put Seth away." Cole watches. A replay of the lionsault by Chris and Ellie shows again. "Take another look at this. Double lionsault by Chris and Ellie."
Chris lands a sharp kick to Seth midsection, making Seth yell and fall back on his hands and knees.
"Incredible distance with those two, halfway across the ring." Corey scoffs. "I have never seen Ellie hit a lionsault and with Jericho it looked perfect." Chris lands another kick to Seth. "It was right on target."
Chris hits the ropes and runs to Seth who catches and twirls him around to hold his neck. Ellie runs in the ring, Seth kicks her in the stomach and grabs her in a head lock.
"What is Rollins gonna-" Cole was cut off. Seth drops and hits a neck breaker on Jericho and DDT on Ellie. "Double work! How is that for your double team Corey?"
"Not bad at all!" Corey laughs. "Seth Rollins showing he can handle his own with Ellie and Chris. Hey, I never said he couldn't. I just said it wouldn't be easy." Ellie rolls over to the ropes and picks herself up, she sees Seth getting up and goes to hit a kick but he grabs her leg. "Seth saw it coming."
Ellie hops on one leg, wide eyed.
Seth throws her leg off and went for a kick but she ducks it, Ellie goes for a kick but he ducks it. Ellie spins down low and leg sweeps him to a reaction.
"Whoa!" Byron reacts. Ellie flips back in a mid air moonsault. "Standing moonsault by Ellie!" Ellie gets out of the way.
Chris quickly drops down and covers him.
"One!"
"Two!"
Seth kicks out at two to a reaction from everyone.
Ellie drops to her knees with a bang to the mat.
"Rollins again kicking out!" Cole calls the count. Chris rolls over trying to take a breather.
Ellie gets on the outside of the apron.
Corey couldn't believe it. "What is it going to take? These three are just throwing everything they can at the other. All three of these superstars have got to be experiencing exhaustion. I remind you, that Ellie still has to get through a 30 minute Iron Man match later on tonight with Sasha Banks. How is she going to do that after this?" Ellie stoops down on the apron breathing heavy and holding onto the ropes. "This match is already taking half that energy."
"Taking energy, emotion, and just nothing but frustration." Byron adds.
Seth and Chris start slugging it out with mean rights back and forth, all the way up to their feet.
Chris knees him one good time and bounces off the ropes. Seth catches him with a jumping knee to the face.
"Right on the bridge of Jericho's nose!" Corey saw the impact.
Seth kicks him in the stomach and sets Chris up for the pedigree.
"Going for the pedigree again!" Byron says. Seth goes to do it but Chris blocks it to shock.
"Uh-oh! Block by Jericho." Cole said.
Chris lifts Seth while still in the pedigree position but Seth fights back down. Seth reverses and lifts Chris up in the power bomb position.
"Wow! What power by Rollins!" Corey says. Chris counters and drops down flipping Seth down but Seth rolls it over, Chris rolls through and grabs Seth legs.
"What a counter by Jericho!" Byron comments.
Chris rolls Seth over on his back to a hype cheer from the crowd and Ellie. He sits all the way, locking on the Walls of Jericho.
"Walls of Jericho locked in even deeper than before!" Corey shouts. "Rollins in a world of trouble! Rollins may tap!"
Seth yells in pain, reaching a hand for the ropes.
"Rollins got nowhere to go go, he's gotta make it to the bottom rope but he's in the middle of the ring. Is Rollins gonna tap to Jericho here?!" Cole asks. "Desperate time for Seth Rollins!"
"Come on Chris!" Ellie cheers for him. "Tap him out and end this!"
Corey hears her. "Ellie saying end this!"
Seth uses his forearms to sit up and try to drag himself.
Byron shakes his head. "Rollins was able to escape the first time. He is trying to reach again! Rollins has to dig down deep!"
"Do you wanna quit!" The ref shouts to him.
"No!" Seth yells, he shakes his head.
"Rollins trying to crawl, he might not make it." Corey says. Ellie goes over to the other side and leans down; pulling the ropes further from his reach. "And look at Ellie!"
"Are you kidding me? Come on!" Byron says.
"How smart is she!" Corey saw no wrong. "That is smarts." Seth saw this and rolls himself under to break out of it. "Hang on, great counter by Rollins!" Seth gets on his back and kicks Chris forward right into Ellie. "Oh!" Ellie fell off the apron and crashes on the floor. "Rollins sending Jericho into Ellie!"
Chris looks over the ropes wide eyed. "Elle!"
Seth runs and grabs Chris from under and rolls him up.
"Rollins taking advantage!" Cole calls it as Seth rolls Chris into a pin. "Roll up!"
"One!"
"Two!"
Chris kicks out of it.
"Jericho trying to check on Ellie who he inadvertently knocked off the apron." Corey watched. "Poor Ellie took a fall."
"She was holding the ropes away from Seth to break the hold." Cole points out.
"That does not mean knock her off things." Corey defends.
Both men get to their feet. Chris hits Seth with a hard kick to his midsection and Seth staggers back.
Chris hits the ropes and runs forward. Seth side steps as he sends him over the top rope.
"Over the top, but Chris lands on the apron." Cole says. Ellie runs in, Seth goes for a clothesline on her but she drops down in a slide pass on her knees. "Now that's a counter, a matrix slide!" Seth turns around. Ellie spins and hits him with a roundhouse. Seth stumbles trying to keep his balance.
Chris goes up to the top rope as Ellie slides out the other side.
"I'm not sure Rollins knows where Jericho's at, Ellie stunned him!" Corey warns.
"He will now!" Byron retorts. Chris jumps down right into a kick to the midsection from Seth. Ellie eyes widened. "Caught!"
Chris fell on his knees. Seth hits with a kick under his jaw to 'Oh's!' from the crowd.
Ellie jumps on the apron but Seth cuts her off and grabs a hold of her by the hair. The crowd cheers loudly on their feet as Seth throws her over the top rope on her butt.
"Whoa!" Corey reacts.
Holding her backside, Ellie yells from the impact.
Cole jaw drops. "Rollins throwing Ellie in the mix! Literally!" She rolls up to be on her knees. Seth hits her with a yelling kick to the chin that echoed. "And a kick to the jaw of Ellie!" Stunned back, Ellie falls down next to Jericho. "Ellie is out!
Byron chuckles. "Rollins almost caving in Ellie's face. My goodness! I bet Ellie wish she wouldn't have gotten involved this time." Seth goes out on the apron and heads to the top rope. "Rollins up top, ready to strike."
Standing up, Seth jumps off hitting a double frog splash to a huge reaction from the crowd.
"Frog splash!" Cole shouts. "To Ellie and Jericho!"
"Two for the price of one, Rollins getting all of that frog splash!" Corey says.
Chris rolls on his stomach, Ellie rolls off holding her ribs.
The camera shows Seth trying to recover from the impact on himself.
"But can he capitalize!" Cole points out. Kevin Owens runs down the ramp to a loud mixed reaction from the crowd. "Oh-hold on!"
"Hey, whoa, whoa, no." Byron didn't like it. "No!"
"It's Jericho and Ellie's best friend coming to their aid!" Corey said.
"Kevin Owens!" Cole says. Kevin jumps on the apron to get involved. Seth gets up and goes after him to loud cheers from the crowd. The ref tries to stop the two but Seth fights Kevin down and kicks him off the apron "Kevin Owens again!"
"Why can't Kevin Owens leave well enough alone?" Byron questions.
Kevin stumbles off from the hits.
"Those are his best friends in there Byron!" Corey argues.
Seth backs up when he sees Kevin moving away. The ref yells over the ropes at Kevin to get back.
Chris takes advantage of Seth loosing focus and grabs him down into a roll up, just as Kevin jumps back on the apron to try and help.
"And Jericho! Jericho got Rollins here," Cole points out.
"What in the..." Ellie pulls herself up on the apron to see the entire mess going on. Her eyes widened at Chris having Seth clearly pinned for a three count. "Ref! Hey! Hey, turn around you idiot! Turn around!"
"Ellie trying to get his attention! Chris has Rollins pinned!" Cole says.
"That's more than three!" Corey points.
"HEY!" Ellie screams at them. "Kevin get down! Get down! What are you doing?"
Kevin hears her yelling and finally sees the roll up. He drops down and ushers the ref to hurry up and count for Chris.
The ref finally comes over.
"One!"
"Two!"
Seth kicks out.
"Are you mother f-ing kidding me!" Ellie shouts with a stomp in annoyance. "In what hell! In what-!" She runs her hands through her hair and lets out a loud and frustrated scream from all of this.
"Ellie is about to loose it." Byron says warily, he winces from her screaming. "Man she has good lungs."
Chris gets to his feet and goes after Seth.
Seth kicks Chris in the stomach, he goes for the pedigree but Chris counters and flips Seth over to land hard on his back.
"Counter by Jericho!" Cole calls it.
"Hell no!" Ellie jumps down and marches around to the other side where Kevin watched. "What are you doing out here?"
"I was trying to-"
"Trying to what?! Make us loose, is that your way of helping?!" Ellie questions, her eyes wide in anger. "If that is your way...do not help me Kevin!"
"I was trying to help you two!" Kevin motions to the ring.
Ellie points. "I don't need your help! I have never once needed your help for anything! You-You need my help for everything, okay? This is not a two way street between us, you do not enter!" She screams at him. "Do you get that, huh? I, do-not, need, YOU!"
Kevin motions to the ring. "You two were about to-"
Chris comes to the ropes. "Again?" Kevin looks up at him. Ellie runs her hands down her face. "Are you kidding me!" Kevin rests his hands back on his head upset at himself for messing up. "I told you we didn't need your help. I told you don't do it again!" Kevin backs up and just heads to the back. with a head shake. "Stay away from us Owens!"
Ellie glares and shakes her head slow at Kevin who disappears to the back.
"Kevin Owens screwed up again." Corey says. "Ellie is livid right along with Chris Jericho."
"Jericho and Ellie wants no part of Kevin Owens." Byron says.
Chris turns around into a jumping knee from Seth.
"Rollins with the knee to the nose!" Cole calls it. "Jericho forget about Rollins!" Chris falls back into the corner, out of it from the knee.
Seth runs to splash Chris in the corner. Ellie slides in, in front of Chris and Seth stops dead in his tracks.
"Ellie, once again saving Jericho!" Cole says.
Seth flips his hair back, he stares across at Ellie who blocks his way to Chris.
"Move." He tells her.
Ellie shakes her head slowly at him. "No."
"Don't make me." Seth warns. "Move Ellie!"
"No!" Ellie yells back at him. "What's stopping you now, huh?" Seth looks at her confused. "You can hurt me any other time and did it in this whole match. So what's stopping you now? I don't mean anything to you, right? So do it!"
Seth runs a hand down his face in upset, he marches over to the corner.
"Ellie had her chance to get out of there!" Byron says. "Rollins not caring anymore!"
Seth yanks her out of the corner by her arm despite her fighting and pulling away from him. He pulls her into a tight bear hug that shocks everyone including Ellie herself who had stopped her fighting for a brief moment.
"What?" Corey questions. "What is-"
"I'm a bit thrown off here guys." Byron admits.
Seth holds her tight as his hand rests on the back of her head.
Ellie fights through her emotions and grits through her teeth. "Let go of me."
"I just want you to know," Seth looks over her shoulder with a glare at Chris. "Payback...is a real bitch." Ellie eyes widened from his words.
Chris runs to them to get Seth.
Seth lets Ellie go, he pushes her in his spot at the last minute. Chris hits Ellie with a mistake codebreaker to an uproar.
"Oh my god!" Cole jaw dropped. "Codebreaker! Jericho hit the codebreaker on Ellie! It was meant for Rollins but-Rollins pushed her in the way at the last second!"
Chris eyes widened in absolute shock as the crowd continued to erupt behind him.
"Jericho can't believe what he just did! He didn't mean it, he was going for Rollins!" Corey tries to explain. Chris tries to check on an out cold Ellie but she wasn't moving. "Seth suckered Ellie and Chris in. Remember when Ellie pushed Rollins into the hands of Triple H? Seth Rollins pushed Ellie right into the codebreaker of Jericho!"
"Talk about, pay-back!" Byron laughs
Chris leaves her to finish the match. He runs to Seth, to hit the codebreaker on him but Seth counters it and hits the pedigree to cheers.
"PEDIGREE!" Cole shouts.
Seth turns him over with the crowd behind him and hooks Chris leg for the cover.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Rollins picks up the win!" Cole celebrates.
Seth theme hit as the crowd went off in cheers and excitement.
"What a match! And what, a big, big win, for the architect!" Corey says. "I will be the one to say I had my doubts but if anybody can out do the odds it is, Seth freaking Rollins."
"Here is your winner, Seth Rollins!" JoJo announces.
"I think we gotta give an assist to Kevin Owens for all of this." Byron jokes.
Seth sits up as the ref checks on him, he starts to get up to his feet.
"Kevin Owens came out here, and it looked like he was trying to make amends in his friendship with Ellie and Chris Jericho but boy did it backfire." Cole said. The ref raises Seth hand once he was to his feet, to a loud reception from everyone. "Seth Rollins fought the emotions and he went through, Chris and Ellie."
"That effort from Kevin Owen to rekindle the friendship may now have a beat down from Chris or Ellie attached to it." Byron says.
"That was not the way to do that." Cole shakes his head. Replays of the match showed. "I got to tell you guys. I thought Rollins was maybe giving in or finally cracking at the end but he did what Ellie did to him and pushed her into a codebreaker."
Seth takes his hand back, he slumps against the ropes to look out at the crowd with a smirk and nods his head.
"Poor Jericho," Corey says. "He was so concerned for Ellie after that codebreaker. It threw him off!"
The replays show as the commentators talk about it.
Seth raises his fist to cheers from the crowd.
"This match was emotional for me but Rollins got what he needed tonight." Corey said.
"Rollins first stop on his path to revenge can be checked off." Cole agrees. Seth takes his arm back, he walks to the other side to leave but stops. "You gotta be nothing but proud of Seth Rollins. Ellie and him both went in this match fighting their own demons with each other but Rollins managed to get over his when it mattered."
Seth gets out of the ring and goes over to the other side where Ellie laid on her stomach out on the apron.
The ref checks on Chris who held his head and was starting to come to.
"I don't think Seth is done with her either." Byron points out.
Seth runs his hair back as he breathes heavily from his match. He stares at her, with an unreadable gaze.
Seth shakes his head with a slight pace, his hands going to his hips.
"What is going through the mind of Seth Rollins guys?" Cole questions.
"I don't know." Corey watches. "I get she has done some things, Seth, but I think you proved your point. You got your revenge."
"I wouldn't say that's all of it." Byron shrugs.
"Byron, hush!" Corey silences him. Seth was about to walk away, he stops and looks back at her over his shoulder. "It isn't worth it Seth. Whatever your thinking, don't do it. That woman still has a match later on!"
"I don't think Rollins cares." Cole mentions.
Seth walks over to her and stoops down to be eye level with her. Ellie eyes kept on opening and closing, Seth notices a couple tears slip out of them before they shut completely on him.
"You have got to be the most stubborn woman in the world." Seth scoffs. He moves his hand to brush her hair out of her face. "But I know your in there...and I'll get you back." He nods to himself.
Seth stands to his feet, people thought he would leave but instead he picks Ellie up. It was to the crowd surprise and the commentators.
"He better not drop her!" Corey warns.
"He's not gonna do that!" Byron retorts.
Seth adjusts her so she was bridal style in his arms, he takes one last look down at her before taking her up the ramp.
"I-Is he taking her?" Corey questions. "Where is he going with Ellie? She still has a match later!"
Chris sits up. "Rollins!" He holds his head. "Hey, Rollins! Where the hell are you going with her?! Rollins!"
Seth ignores Chris and continues to the back to get her checked.
"Among the hell they both put each other through, how?" Cole questions.
"Love is a complicated thing boys." Corey tells them. "Yeah Rollins wanted to win and smack some sense into her but don't forget the main reason behind it all. Getting revenge is one thing, but getting back someone you can't be without is another. Maybe this needed to happen..."
"I have to agree." Byron nods. "The only things is, who will Ellie be more pissed off at when she wakes up?"
"Now that, I don't want to be around for." Corey points.
Leave a review, and check out the next chapter coming soon. Sorry if it is to long, I kind of thought you guys deserved one for being so patient with me.
