The day had finally come—Roxy was going step inside the ring with Stephanie and agree on something. Today, anything could happen. Roxy could end up with no job. Hell, none of the people in The Rebellion could end up with a job. She was fortunate that Jon was able to do this for her, but it still scared her knowing that Stephanie and possibly the entire family could bring their billion dollar lawyers and bring her down. Roxanne knew what she had gotten herself into and she wasn't going to back down. She was going to dedicate this battle for her mom Rebecca, her deceased father and the unborn child that she will never be able to hold. She is dedicating this battle to anyone that was afraid to stand up to the powers of the WWE. For those that have worked their asses off to get what they want and failed—people like Bryan Danielson and Phil Brooks, two people that the WWE never pictured being the face of this company. People like Brie Bella and April Mendez, two people that are being overlooked and underestimated and Jon Good, a man that has been through it all with her. Even the good and the bad.
Roxanne wore a black top and a black pencil skirt with matching heels—it was the best sophisticated outfit that she could come up with, however it does make her look like she is getting ready for a funeral. Roxy looked in a mirror and looked at Jon wrap his arms around her, connecting with a kiss on her lips. This day was going to be changing. If Stephanie wanted to settle, it will come with a price and the wishes that are in Roxanne's list. This list could be the death of Stephanie McMahon, but settlement would be the best move on her part. On the other hand, if Stephanie wanted to take this to court. She would reveal the things within the WWE that people have informed her of and let's see where the WWE stands after it all. Roxanne looked deep into Jon's blue eyes and she knew that everything would be alright.
"This day is going to change everything. I have been waiting for this day for a very long time. If Stephanie settles, I got a some demands for her that would keep my mouth shut. Some might not be pretty, but this job in the WWE has never been pretty for me. More like an ugly nightmare that has the opportunity to end tonight," Roxanne entwined her fingers to Jon's, holding them up. "Jon, you have been so wonderful to me, even in our fight, where I was being a bitch. These last few months have been such a roller coaster for not only me, but you and the WWE. All you wanted to do was protect me and I am so fortunate for that. I am so fortunate to have a boyfriend that loves me because Jon, I love you. I love everything about you and I would have never expect myself to say that to a guy that I had a one night stand with. I love you, from your flaws to your perfection—I love you." Roxanne never expect to fall for Jon and his charms, she never expect to say those words to him and just saying her love for him in front of him is amazing.
Jon connected with another kiss upon her lips, clutching her black hair as it was the last kiss that he would be ever getting from her. Whenever he kissed her, he imagined like it was the last time that he would be able to kiss her love her the only way that he could. Jon pressed her up against the wall and kissed her harder, this might actually be the last kiss that he would get from her because Stephanie could drag her straight to hell. Roxy wrapped her arms around his neck as Jon's lips went to her neck. Butterflies filled her stomach as it felt like one of the first times that they kissed. The feeling of it was sensational. Jon had a look to his face, wondering if he should go farther with her.
Roxanne laughed. Was this actually going to be the last time that they see each other? Roxy wondered that. "Alright, let's make it quick, but meaningful." Roxy said with Jon pulling her closer as the door shut closed.
Every WWE Superstar and Diva surrounded the ring, wondering what the fate of the WWE will be with this confrontation. Will Stephanie settle to save her company or will this be taken to court? All the members of The Authority stood on one side of the ring as the members of The Rebellion stood on the other side in the ring in their respect ring gear, expect for Brie, who wanted to dress up for the event in a short black dress. The RAW theme played as the camera panned to every WWE Superstar and Diva talking with others about the possibility about all of this. Then, 'King of Kings' played all throughout the arena to a bunch of boos from the WWE Universe as The Authority came out, walking out as the lovely affectionate couple that they are. Hunter wrapping Stephanie in his arms and connecting with a kiss, before walking down the ramp, holding hands. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns were standing guard ringside, giving The Authority permission to enter the ring. After, 'The Devil Within' played throughout the arena in a huge pop as Roxanne and Dean walked out to the ring. Everyone's attention was on them as Dean with a hand on her back, led her to the ring. He exchanged a stare to his former Shield members, standing guard near the ring, giving them an exchange of looks before entering the ring.
As soon as the music fades, "Alright, let's get things on the role. We have discussed with our lawyers about the pros and cons about going to court and settling. I am just telling you that we have come with a decision about what we are going to do. I think that you might be very happy about that." Hunter spoke first, getting a good vibe going on inside the ring. The last thing that he wanted was start an argument in the ring because this wouldn't be what is good for business. What he didn't know was that he and Stephanie were in two different pages about how to deal with Dean and Roxanne.
"We're going to settle," Stephanie interjected, getting Hunter off guard. "Honestly, we can't afford for the WWE to look terrible and that would look horrible for the WWE Network that we plan on revealing in the next few months. Everything has to be what is best for business—we need a champion that is sellable," Stephanie looked at Randy, who was now the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and then Eva Marie, who was still suffering from the consequences from the attack last night at TLC. "We need to have the best workers," she looked at Tom Cassielo. "This means, we are getting rid of the dead weight. Roxy, we're prepared to give you as much money as you want to forget that any of this ever happened."
The WWE Universe went to a bunch of boos as Roxanne and Dean looked at one another, taking whatever Stephanie had said under consideration. Stephanie was prepared to buy her off? How stupid was Stephanie to buy her off and for Roxy to go away, like none of this ever happened? Dean had informed her that Stephanie would try to buy her at a price. It would seem like a typical rich person thing to do. Roxy then looked at Daniel and Brie, who were telling her 'No!'—to not give into Stephanie's settlement. Hunter wasn't thinking about that at all—he didn't want his wife to get rid of Roxy by using their money. He wanted her to be a real business woman and settle to make sure that both women were happy.
"Stephanie, you say that you want to settle?" Dean spoke over the mic. "That's just not good enough for her! It's going to take more than money to get rid of her. I mean, you have given her a dangerous work environment and you have blackmailed her into doing what you really want. Roxy, is not a big fan of money and I don't blame her. I'm not a big fan of money." Dean wrapped his arm around Roxy's waist, pulling her closer to him in the process.
Stephanie nodded in disapproval and went to Hunter, asking for him to put some input in this situation, "I never was consulted about the idea of buying her off. I honestly thought that we made decisions as a married couple. Stephanie, why didn't you consult me about this?" oh man, Stephanie was caught! She knew that Hunter wouldn't be too crazy about the idea and that was the reason why she didn't tell him about what she had thought about doing to Roxy.
"Wow! Stephanie, you lying bitch! You just got caught making decisions behind Hunter's back!" Punk spoke up, injecting himself into the discussion between the two of them. "I may not like Hunter and what he has done with me in the past, but I think that I might like him a little more than you."
"That didn't change my mind at all, Punk. These two are just two of the reasons why I am not WWE Champion. I may look like a goat, and I have accepted that I am a goat as in the greatest of all time." Daniel spoke up after, giving Punk a high-five.
"This isn't about you two enhancing your egos, it's about Roxy and me settling on something and putting an end to this argument between the two of us. Ms. Collins, do you honestly hate this settlement that I have proposed? If so, do you have anything else to propose? I really am a woman that cares about the WWE and would hate this company to go down the drain because of this lawsuit." Stephanie asked, almost sounding desperate. Roxanne smirked, she knew what she wanted, but the question still stood—would Stephanie do as she asks or will she have a stick up her ass and let this company go down the drain?
"I've got a few things," Roxanne took the list, which she had stuck in her bra because she had nowhere else to place it. "The first thing I want you to do is fire Eva Marie." she ordered as the WWE Universe cheered. Eva's mouth dropped straight to the floor with that demand. Stephanie could not believe the demand that Roxy had given her, but if this was all she wanted to keep the name of the WWE good, then she will do that. Stephanie approached Eva Marie, who was pleading to keep her job, almost in the crack of tears.
Stephanie glared at Eva and just like her father, she said, "Eva Marie, YOU'RE FIRED!" Eva's jaw dropped on the floor again in disbelief. Her whole world was crashing right in front of her as the WWE Universe cheered, satisfied by that first demand by Roxanne. Eva collapsed on the floor and began to cry—her one opportunity to be a star was taken away from her. Her modeling career, her chance of becoming the next WWE Divas Champion, it was all gone—just like career. Honestly, did anyone believe that she had a chance of improving in her wrestling skills? No one even cared about her to begin with. Only Eva cared about herself. Seth and Roman grabbed Eva and escorted her out of the ring as the WWE Universe sung, "Na Na Na Na Na Na. Heyyy goodbye!"
All the faces in the ring and AJ waved goodbye to Eva, before going back to business. Stephanie hated firing Eva, she was going to be a big star and possibly the next Divas Champion. Eva was going to be that the face of the Divas Division, she had the whole package and she was gone from her grasps. Stephanie glared at Roxanne, who gave him a giant smile, "Is that all you wanted?" she grinded her teeth against each other in anger.
"No, I also want you to resign as one of the principal owners of the WWE." Roxanne's voice went serious as Stephanie's jaw dropped. Did Roxy really want her to do that? She must have been out of her mind because this was a job that she was given by her father—she wanted to make her dad proud. There was no way that Stephanie would give up this job because Roxy asked her to do that. Stephanie couldn't do that—she was too cowardly to do that, but she also didn't want to face Roxy in court and let the WWE Universe know that this was an actual thing that was happening. There was no way that kayfabe and reality would entwine with each other. There was no way that she was going to let this happen.
"No." Stephanie said, as Roxanne began to walk out of the ring.
"Alright, see you in court, Stephanie! Come on guys!" Roxanne exclaimed as Hunter grabbed Stephanie by her arm and pleading him to just resign because it will be bad for business if the Stephanie were to take Roxy to court. Stephanie complained by saying that she can't let go of this job and lose, but Hunter reminded her that she was already losing this battle and it can't go on any longer. Stephanie groaned in anger and then looked at Roxy, who was near the ropes.
"On this day, I have decided that I will resign as one of the principal owners of the WWE," Stephanie muttered under her breath, the WWE Universe going hectic because of hearing that announcement. Roxy smiled, she had finally gotten Stephanie. "I award Roxanne Collins the position as one of the principal owners of the WWE." it was then that Roxy's jaw dropped in shock— holy shit! she thought to herself. I actually did it! I won and I am now one of the principal owners of the WWE.
The Rebellion cheered and high-fived with each other in good job as Daniel went to kiss Brie, Dean kissed Roxanne and out of nowhere, Punk kissed AJ, catching them off guard. Daniel, Brie, Roxanne and Dean all looked at Punk and AJ, who were thrown off guard with the kiss. Roxy and Brie giggled at AJ, who looked at Punk in shock. Roxy decided to turn her back as Dean grabbed her hand, making her turn to look at him. Dean had a smirk on his face—they won! The Rebellion was a success and it was thanks to Dean. Dean got her this job, Dean made Eva quit! This was all Dean's plan and she couldn't be more than proud of him.
"What are you going to do now, owner Roxanne Collins?" Dean asked with a huge smile on his face, holding her in his arms.
Roxanne smirked at him, "I'm going to change the direction of the WWE."
Roxy got what she wanted in the end of the day! Man, I can't believe that there's only one last chapter for this story. This is so crazy, but I have loved writing this!
