Chapter 2

The social media aftermath

WWE officials couldn't believe the response to Mickie James's return, the social media rating was higher than it had ever been by a considerable amount, the video of her return on there youtube account had hit half a million views over night.

By the following Monday it was all people were still talking about, they wanted to know what was going to happen next with the shield with there new leader, Vince and Hunter had, had a meeting early Sunday morning and wanted to take the storyline in two directions, with a possible third, one capitalising on the buzz that surrounded what the look between John and Mickie meant, and the other Mickie being pivotal to the shield's longevity in them as a stable and in the future holding WWE gold, but they also wanted Mickie to be in the picture for her own championship.

The shield were about to blow up.

It was Monday Night Raw, there were a lot of people in the TV room as usual, Mickie James appeared on the TV walking along the corridor, alone. "Mickie can i have a word?"

Mickie stopped walking and looked to the interviewer, "Just one word Josh" Mickie fixed the man's wonky tie, it annoyed her when men's ties were not correctly tied, "That's awfully un-selfish of you" Mickie held a finger up, her face turning stern, Josh closed his mouth once again, "Make sure it is just one word Josh" They wanted Mickie to be a fierce character but bring the fun comical factor to the shield.

Josh nodded nearly using his one word allowance, "Why?"

"That's a very good word Josh, well done, but i have one word for you that when spoken strikes fear into grown men" Mickie looked the man up and down before chuckling, "Injustice" Mickie sighed "I'll use it in a sentence for you, you have just committed an injustice by questioning me" Mickie clicked her fingers, "Boys" The shield stood behind Josh, all looking towards him, they rose there heads to her, "He isn't even worth our time, but you can redeem yourself Josh after your misdemeanour, you can go tell Cena a message from me"

"Of course" Josh nodded multiple times scared for his safety.

"Stop nodding" Mickie seemed irritated by it and he stopped immediately "You tell him, what we did last week was merely a coincidence, he just happened to be the man we thought Ziggler was wronging by letting another man do his dirty work for to get a cheap shot at the WWE Championship, it wasn't about him, it was about the fact he was holding the gold, it could of been anyone in that corner, we would of done the exact same thing."

Roman stepped forward and Josh scurried off, Roman looked down to Mickie, "Let's go" he spoke in his deep husky voice and the three boys surrounded there girl as they walked out the camera shot.

John Cena slapped hands with Big Show as he came through the door into the dinning room of the latest arena they were at, "Hey, you seen Mickie?"

"She over there" Big show used one of his massive fingers to point in her direction, "You feelin' her man?"

John shrugged smiling as he backed away, "Might be"

"We'll talk later" Show chuckled turning away from John, barely fitting through the door, John shook his head making his way towards Mickie, she soon spotted him, most of the people in there wanted a minute of John's time, it was customary for the roster to come say hello whenever John entered a room.

There eyes kept connecting as he held small conversations with several people, he sent her little smiles which she returned while she ate some food with the shield men going over what they had to do tonight.

John sat with Mickie in a corner of the arena, she was watching the crew running around trying to find the people they needed for the next segment, they were well hidden, they knew they were up next but knew they had a few minutes before they had to go "Hey" John spoke softly to get her attention back to him, she looked to him, "I sore your tweet"

"Which tweet was that?" Mickie asked, she watched him pull his phone out his pocket, he scrolled through his feed until he came across the tweet.

"It's great to be back, working with some of the best minds in the business, learning a lot" John smiled as he rose his eyes, "Do you include me in that statement Miss James?"

"Just a little bit" Mickie showed him around the amount with her thumb and first finger, John chuckled nodding repeating back to her what she said to him. "Yeah" she spoke softly, the moment caused for it.

"Sorry to interrupt" A nervous crew member spoke, "But there waiting for the both of you in gorilla, your up next"

"Bet i can beat you" John shoved Mickie to unsteady her after she rose to her feet and ran off, Mickie squealed running after him, John turned running backwards "Come on!" he turned again and beat her because of the advantage he gave himself.

"Your such a cheater" Mickie shoved his arm playfully as he allowed her to walk up the few steps before him, John nodded to the McMahon family gathered at the production table, they queued for his music to hit.

John leaned close to Mickie, her eyes closed briefly when she felt his breathe on her ear, "See you out there... Loser" he smirked to her as he disappeared through the curtain, she turned her attention to the small screen hanging on the make shift wall.

"Mickie" Triple H, now had a management voice, she went to the table he Vince Stephanie and a few others were sitting at, "What are you saying when John's down?"

"I have to say something? No one told me!"

"Where's creative?!" Hunter yelled "Get them here!"

"There's no time, dude we're out now! That's our cue" Dean was pointing to the television, Hunter sighed nodding for the music to start.

"We're trusting you", he yelled over the track sierra hotel, "Make this work!" india echo lima delta "Mickie you'll have to just say what comes to mind! You know what we have planned use that!" Mickie nodded as the beat kicked into the music, she watched the two other shield members come through the crowd, the camera panned to Dean stood on the ramp once again.

Roman Reigns looked both ways before hoping over the guard rail nodding towards Seth Rollins who mimicked his actions on the opposite side of the ring just like the week previous, Vince loved the entrance they created themselves and wanted it that way each week, Mickie seemed powerful yet needed protecting also.

The crowd reacted when Mickie walked out onto the entrance stage after taking a deep breathe, she leant her arm on Dean's shoulder who leant slightly to make it easier for her. Dean looked around with his usual cocky attitude sporting his 'duck lips' whilst Mickie mumbled something to him, he patted her back before heading off down the ramp. He passed both Roman and Seth mumbling to each of them, passing on instructions again like last week maybe?

Mickie walked down the ramp not taking her eyes from John, as he watched the Shield nervously preparing himself to fight if it was necessary, Mickie grabbed the mic from the steps, she walked along the apron, Dean was opposite her, Seth to her left Roman her right. Mickie stood she nodded and watched her boys decimate John, when they were setting him up for there three way power bomb, Roman roared as Mickie swung her body under the second rope, she watched John's body bounce from the mat.

She crouched beside his lifeless body, "We had no problem with you John, but you came out here and made it about you, you always make it about you! It's always about you and we're sick of you being the centre of attention!" Mickie rose to her feet, looking to her boys stood to the side breathing heavily from there attack. She walked to John's head and crouched down, talking close to his ear into the microphone, "It's not that we can't see you John, we just don't want to see you" Mickie rose to her feet as the older males cheered at her sentence, "...Bitch" She dropped the microphone and threw herself over the top rope backwards out the ring her boys following as she walked up the ramp. Mickie stood at the top of the ramp, flanked by Dean Seth and Roman, as John began to stir, there eyes connected once again, "You just made an injustice son" The people at home could hear what she was saying the live crowd were left trying to lip read from her picture on the big screen, "You'll regret the day you made lewd jokes about me"

Mickie ducked under Roman's arm as he held the curtain back for her, she was met by the McMahon's steely glaze, "Firstly" Vince motioned for the men to keep walking, John breathing heavily arrived looking on worried, he'd seen those looks before, he kept moving however. "You can't say bitch, we're a PG show"

"Sorry, i got caught up in the moment"

"Secondly" Stephanie continued, she slowly began clapping, Mickie thought it was sarcastic at first. "Great promo, your lucky that makes up for your bitch mishap" Hunter rose to his feet, looking to the creative team finally gathering at gorilla for a telling off. Stephanie pointed to the team Hunter was leading away to his office to talk to, "There lucky you could stand on your own two feet, now go get some food, get a good night's sleep, you have a lot of media this week"
