Stamford, Connecticut
WWE Headquarters
Paige walks into William Regal's office and locks the door behind her. She puts on her headphones and turns up her new favorite song, "Candy Stars" by pop sensation Bayley. Whenever Paige was in a bad mood, or needed a boost to get her through tedious work, a Bayley song got her going. Headphones to the max, she dances while sorting through files. Moving around, shaking and gyrating without a care in the world. She balls up some paper and turns around to shoot, hitting Dean in the head. He was standing there eating peanuts.
"Bloody hell, how did you get in here!" Paige shouts jumping back.
"I walked in." Dean replies straight faced.
"I locked the door." Paige assures him.
Dean bursts out in laughter, spilling his peanuts.
"As if a lock ever stopped me. I saw ass shaking and it caught my attention. Unfortunately it was you. What you dancing to anyway?"
"This new Bayley song. It's amazing!" Paige sticks an earphone in Dean's ear.
Dean listens for a few seconds, laughs and plucks the earphone.
"Candy Stars? Believe in yourself? What are you 12? Do you have posters on your wall as well?" He asks, slightly mocking her.
Paige punches him in the arm while he laughs it off. Seth pokes his head in, passing the word that Hunter has a team meeting, immediately. The three head towards the 4th floor conference room, taking the elevator.
"Any idea what this is about?" Dean asks.
"Supposedly its about the chicks who saved the senator. Billy told me they work for a rival mercenary group. Umm, APA he called it." Seth explains.
They exit the elevator and head down the hallway. Roman and Hunter stand outside the room, having a talk. Hunter huddles them together.
"Listen up, you're about to meet one of Vince's most detested enemies. They may act friendly, but really can't stand each other. His team is tough, but we gotta show them we're tougher. Got it?"
Everyone agrees and heads in. Inside sits Vince. Across from him, a man wearing a pinstripe suit and cowboy hat sits, smoking a cigar. Behind him stand three women. A tall blonde, one with purple hair, and another with red hair.
"Hunter, agents, welcome. Please have a seat." Says Vince.
Hunter sits next to Vince while Black Cerberus and Paige flank him. Both sides staring holes into each other. Dean looks down, noticing the redhead has a mechanical hand.
"Evening fellas, and lady. For the three of you that don't know, my name is Bradshaw Layfield. Its a pleasure to meet you. I own my own little mercenary troupe down in Texas. I was just rolling through to give my old buddy Vince a hello. Also for my ladies to show off their medals of honor. Ladies introduce yourselves."
"Charlotte Flair, three time Olympic gold medalist in gymnastics. Two years trained in Thailand for Muay Thai and Kickboxing. Certified Sniper and trained chef."
"Sasha Banks, six years flight experience of multiple air vehicles. A master of twenty different languages. As a lover of animals and blades, I often travel with my dog and machete."
"Becky Lynch, five years in the army, three as a general. I was relieved when I lost my hand in a nasty gunfight. Bradshaw offered me this mechanical hand in exchange for my services. I can bench 350, I drag race in my spare time. Also trained in Brazilian MMA."
Vince and Hunter look on as Bradshaw puffs his cigar.
"Okay Bradshaw, your girls are good, but my boys are better. Black Cerberus can take on any job that the Powerpuff Girls over there can handle. Because big business, is only a small problem for us. Tell em boys." Said Hunter.
"Seth Rollins, extreme sports lover and crossfit expert. Trained in kickboxing, judo, and shotokan karate."
"Roman Reigns, ex football player and independent contractor. Ain't been doing this for long, but I like it."
"Dean Ambrose...I'm insane."
Vince and Hunter look upset as Bradshaw laughs up a storm.
"Alright, lets put that to the test. Your boys against my ladies. Any game you want. How about, I put $500k on that game." Bradshaw replied, blowing smoke at Hunter and Vince.
"I'm sure we can come up with somet-"
"They'll fight!" Vince shouts, cutting Hunter off.
"Hold on, I aint fighting no female" Says Roman.
"I get the pink haired one." Seth adds.
Everyone in WWE argue while the APA looks on laughing.
"QUIET GOD DAMMIT, QUIET!" Vince yells over everyone. "One million in a three on three brawl."
"I said aint fighting n-"
"DO IT OR YOU'RE FIRED!" Vince yells at Roman.
Roman steps back while Seth and Dean shake their heads in agreement.
"One million? You got a bet McMahon. If my ladies are in agreement as well." Says Bradshaw.
Smiles on their faces, APA shake their heads in agreement. Bradshaw stands up and adjusts his suit.
"Lets say we do this tomorrow, 2:30 PM. Out here on WWE land, where my ladies can put you to shame."
"You got it." Growls Vince.
"Hold on we need some time to prepare." Seth suggests.
"You not feeling confident? Afraid to let your friends see you get beat by "girls". Teases Charlotte.
"I can take on anybody who wants a piece of me." Dean says throwing up his fists.
"THEN ITS ON! See ya tomorrow!" Said Bradshaw as he and his team left.
Everyone sits in silence before Vince storms off.
"Those women may look tough, but they're just blowing smoke. You guys are more than capable of handling them. If not, then you're in for a shit storm." Hunter assures them before leaving as well.
"I'll get started on figuring out a game plan. You boys should go get ready." Paige suggests.
"We got this. No way we're letting the spirit squad kick our ass." Dean says with confidence.
Roman walks off annoyed as the others look on.
The next day, mostly everyone in WWE is packed in the fitness center. Normally, a fight between men and women would be horrible., but this was a fight with the best of the best. Black Cerberus warms up with Billy Gunn. All three wearing WWE shirts and gym shorts.
"I'm telling you guys, they're fragile. Once you get a hold of em, just drop your weight on em." Says Billy.
"We got this. A couple of punches and all three drop like trees." Says Dean stretching.
Seth notices Paige talking to Bradshaw. The two of them exchanging words like best friends. Both say their farewells and move on. Seth cuts off Paige on the way to her seat.
"What was that about?"
"Oh it was nothing. Bradshaw usually offers me a job every time he comes around. I decline because I know it would kill Mr. Regal if I left for a rival operation."
Cody makes his way over to Dean and Roman, patting them on the back.
"Good luck fellas. Remember to bob and weave. If you need me, I'll be over there recording."
Cody moves on and Dean flips him off from behind. Dean tries to get Roman hyped up, but Roman isn't feeling it. Seth and Paige rejoin them, and Paige gives some pointers.
"So Sasha is the smallest. Roman you should use your weight against her."
"I want Sasha!" Seth proclaims.
"Keep it in your pants. Go on Paige."
"Dean, you take Lynch. She's the toughest of the three, and according to Hunter you can take a punch. That leaves Charlotte to you Seth. You and her have the martial arts backgrounds. You'll have a pretty even fight without leaving the other two at a disadvantage. Got it?"
Black Cerberus go over a few more tricks as APA make an entrance. The ladies come in wearing APA shirts and leggings. Becky going sleeveless and Sasha going crop top. All six competitors approach each other in the middle of the sparring area, where the floor is covered in a giant mat. All six come face to face, staring each other down.
"Hey gorgeous, sure you wanna do this?" Seth asks Sasha.
"Me gustan las mujeres (i like women)." She replies.
"What'd she say?" Seth whispers to Dean.
William Regal walks in between both squads in a referee shirt. The crowd gets a small buzz going, anticipating the action.
"Everyone settle down. Men, ladies, these are the rules. Its a three on three free for all. All of you will pair off and start one on one. Once someone is down, they can join their partners in the fight. You defeat an opponent by knockout, submission, or they can't make it back to their feet for a five count. Lets keep it clean. When I blow my whistle, we begin. Understand?"
Black Cerberus and APA shake their heads in agreement. Becky detaches her mechanical hand and gives it to Regal. Regal steps away and the crowd gets rowdy. Dean squares up with Becky, butting heads and grinning at each other.
"You get freaky with that nub? Dean asks her.
"Yeah, I can shove it up your ass!"
Roman approaches Sasha but Seth slides in.
"It's cool man, I got this." Pushing Roman away.
Roman slaps Seth on the back of the head before moving to Charlotte. Regal blows the whistle and its on. Dean slides and jabs Becky clean in the nose. Everyone turns their attention to Becky as she stumbles back. She feels her face for blood and shoots a psychotic look at Dean. She charges at Dean and they begin to exchange punches.
Close by, Sasha and Seth exchange kicks. She goes for a spinning heel kick, which Seth catches and flips her over.
"Let me take you on a date and I might let you win."
"Wo chi mao (i eat pussy)."
Seth and Sasha continue the fight as Roman and Charlotte stand still looking at each other. Charlotte motions for him to bring it on. Roman crosses his arms and people start booing Roman.
"Don't be a coward!" Cody yells from the crowd.
Charlotte walks over to Roman, backhand slapping him across the face. The crowd goes silent. Roman face turns slightly red with anger, but instead he throws up his hands and walks off, causing the crowd to start booing again. Charlotte runs in from behind and chop blocks Roman, bringing him to his knees. Charlotte jumps on his shoulders and locks her legs together, squeezing his neck between her thighs. Roman hits the floor trying get free.
"The more you struggle, the worse it gets honey." Says Charlotte.
Dean throws combos at Becky, but her speed is incredible. A small dodge allows a punch to Dean's eye. After he throws a blind haymaker, she ducks and slides behind him. She locks her arms and dead lifts him into a german suplex. Dean lands on his head, falling unconscious.
Seth gets Sasha into an arm lock, pinning her down. Charlotte flies in with a dropkick to his back. Sasha rolls out and puts Seth into a crossface. Seth looks around for help, but Dean is out and Roman is gasping for air. Seth taps out, prompting a few people to chant for APA. Cody busts out laughing while Hunter has his face buried in his hand. Paige shakes her head and goes back to work on her tablet. Bradshaw finds Vince sitting with a face of disgust.
"Well Vinny, that smells like one million on my books. I'll take it in cash if you got it."
"YOU'LL GET YOUR DAMN MONEY. IN A CHECK!" Vince yells at him.
Bradshaw laughs while he lights a cigar. Dean starts to regain consciousness, slowly opening his eyes. Fully opening them to find Becky leaning over him.
"You throw a mean punch lad, I respect that."
"I held back. Had to go a little easy so I wouldn't mess up that pretty face."
Becky lets out a small laugh and helps him up. She licks her thumb and wipes off a bit of blood from his eye she punched earlier.
"Becky, come on we gotta go!"
"Welp, my mates are calling me. See you around lad."
Becky gives him a friendly punch on the shoulder before heading off. Roman walks up rubbing his neck.
"Charlotte got hams for legs. Like damn!"
Hunter and Cody also walk up, laughing.
"That was something else. Vince is gonna shit on you guys. Good luck." Said Hunter.
Regal walks past too, only shrugging his shoulders. Seth gets up, looking embarrassed. The trio look among each other and agree to never speak of this day again. Only thing to do now is to be prepared for the horror known as Vince McMahon.
