A/N So, once again thank you for all the support and reviews, it really means a lot. This chapter is again made up of mainly on screen stuff, this is again indicated by italic writing. Anyway, here's Chapter 7, enjoy!
"Are you working directly with The Shield?" Miz asked. It was a MizTV segment on Raw, and CM Punk was hooked up to a lie detector test.
"Punk! Answer me! Are you working with The Shield? Did you collaborate with Brad Maddox at Hell in a Cell?!" Miz shouted at the WWE Champion. Punk, meanwhile, looked around worried. "Punk? Did you work with The Shield?!" Miz asks again, now screaming in rage at the lack of answer.
Punk didn't get the chance to answer. Before he did, The Shield came out of nowhere and attacked The Miz.
"And here they are again!" Michael Cole shouted from commentary as the foursome stomped repeatedly on the former Intercontinental Champion. "Oh no, guys." he said, worried for the health of the talk show host as Dean and Seth lifted Miz onto the shoulders of Roman Reigns.
"We've seen The Shield do this before guys! Going for the Triple Powerbomb, Neckbreaker combination." Jerry Lawler explained as The Shield delivered the move in question to loud boos from the crowd.
Suddenly, the crowd starts cheering as The Shield turns to the entrance ramp to see Team He'll No running down it. Daniel and Seth started brawling as did Roman and Kane. Just when Bryan seemed to be getting the upper hand on Seth, he was hit with a boot to the gut, causing him to lean over. Sensing the opportunity to hit his NXT Finisher, Seth ran to bounce off the ropes before meeting Bryan back with the Curb Stomp.
Turning, he saw Roman, Dean and Luna all beating on Kane. Once he was down, Roman let out a loud roar and Dean and Seth started to lift Kane onto the Big Dog's shoulders. Unlike previous times when they have gone for the Triple Powerbomb, Luna did not get into position for the Neckbreaker. Instead she started climbing the turnbuckles and positioned herself for a Moonsault.
"And The Shield with the Triple Powerbomb to Kane!" exclaimed Cole as the move was delivered. Looking over her shoulder, Luna saw that Kane was in the perfect position and jumped off the rope, hitting a pitch perfect Luna Eclipse to the Big Red Monster.
"Ah!" screeched Jerry Lawler, shocked by the delivery of the move, having only seen it once before.
"FEED. ME. MORE!" Ryback's music played, and in a similar scene to last week he rushed to the ring and started toppling Shield members. Like the Tag Team Champions, however, the numbers game started to over power him and it wasn't until Alicia Fox sprinted down to the ring to attack Luna, that the Big Guy started to regain some control of the situation.
Alicia boots Luna in the mid section and goes for a scissor kick, however Luna dodges the move and counters it into a Jumping Neckbreaker.
Turning around, she sees The Shield about to deliver the Triple Powerbomb to Ryback, having regained control after the Big Guy's brief rush following Fox's interference. Positioning herself, Luna jumps and catches Ryback in a Neckbreaker as her stablemates delivers the Powerbomb.
"And The Shield standing tall tonight on Monday Night Raw!" Michael says as the team pose over their fallen foes.
"That was so awesome." shrieked Luna as soon as the four were back in their dressing room. "Did you hear how hot the crowd were out there?"
Luna was definitely the most excitable of the four. This was something that Seth found attractive about his teammate, the look of joy on her face as soon as she came out of character was comparable to a child on Christmas morning. Even on smaller shows like FCW, she had been unable to stop smiling when returning to the back, even when she had lost the FCW Divas Championship to Kaitlyn. Seth liked that about her because it showed her genuine enthusiasm for the sport- something that was rare for a woman in this business. Over the years Seth had had multiple girlfriends, none of which had Luna's love and respect and love for wrestling. Seth was sure that no one he had ever met had the same level of love for the wrestling business, until he had started dating Luna.
"I can't wait for TLC! Like, literally, I might actually go insane if they change plans for the pay per view." Luna stated. The four had learned earlier that day that they would be making their in-ring debut at the TLC ppv in a couple weeks time- Dean, Roman and Seth in a TLC match against Team Hell No and Ryback and Luna in a tables match against Alicia Fox.
It was the first Divas tables match in WWE history and, Luna having a lot of experience in them, was looking forward to collaborating with Alicia to come up with some amazing spots, wanting to set the bar high- not only for the show but Divas wrestling in general. She felt that WWE could be doing so much more with the women, and she had set it as her personal goal to ensure that they did.
Hearing a knock on the locker room door, the four instinctively turned to see it open.
"Hey, guys." Triple H greeted before his father in law did the same, albeit in a much more formal fashion.
"Hunter, Mr McMahon." Roman greeted in response. Triple H always preferred to be called Hunter by the talent, as opposed to Mr Levesque as his job title and name would usually require. He felt as though it helped relax the talent as well as made him feel as though he was still "one of the boys", rather than their boss.
"Gentleman, Miss Williams. Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on a job well done out there tonight, the reactions you're getting are insane." Vince started
"Thank you, sir. It's an honour to be given the opportunity." Luna responded
"We've come to tell you that there's been a change to the TLC pay per view that will affect the four of you." The Game said "Luna, your tables match with Alicia will be happening on Raw next week instead of at TLC."
Triple H chuckled internally at the look of devastation on her face. "Because, we have a better idea instead." he finished, now outwardly laughing at the look of intrigue on her face.
"You see, the things that got the loudest reaction out there, was when you delivered the Luna Eclipse to Kane and caught Ryback with the Neckbreaker. We believe, that the crowd are very interested in seeing some intergender action at TLC and so have decided to change your three match," Vince said, turning to the other three members of The Shield "to an 8 person intergender TLC tag team match." Mr McMahon announced.
The four were stunned into silence, Dean's mouth slightly agape as he looked from Triple H to Vince.
Roman was the first to speak, "Thank you, sir. We won't let you down."
With that, the two men said their goodbyes and exited the locker room- leaving The Shield to deal with what they had been told.
As soon as they were out of hearing distance, Luanlet out a screech of delight. "Fucking hell, Williams. Do you have to do that every time Hunter tells you something?" Dean said, a mix of humour and genuine irritation in his voice at his teammates habit.
"So, what have you guys got planned til next week?" Luna asked when the four of them were in their rental, ready to travel back to the hotel. Her team weren't needed on SmackDown and so they were allowed to go home and rest for a few days, since they had been constantly on the road since Survivor Series.
"Nothing really. Since we're not on NXT anymore, I don't need to stay in Orlando, so I was going to go back to Davenport for a bit." Seth answered.
"I'm going home to Vegas." Dean responded.
"Roman?"
"I don't know, to be honest." the Samoan answered honestly. "What about you, baby girl?"
"Meh... not much, I was going to go hang with Dav and Sash for a few days."
"Dav?" Seth questioned.
"Yeah, Davina." she said, seeing the bewildered look on her boyfriend's face, she corrected herself "Bayley. New girl on NXT. She wrestled on the independents for a while, I knew her as Davina Rose before she signed about a month ago."
"Well, I was going to be by myself til next week, anyway. So if you guys want to come to Vegas, feel free." Dean said "Your friends can come as well, Williams." he relented, noticing the conflicted look on his teammates face.
"Sounds good to me." Seth answered "Roman?"
"What the hell, I'm in." he answered, after much thought.
"I've always wanted to go to Vegas! I'll call Sash and Dav when we get to the hotel." Luna promised, smiling.
Looking down, Seth smirked at his girlfriend. Somehow over the last ten minutes she had managed to fall asleep and was now resting her head against his shoulder.
It was moments like this that Seth thought she was at her most beautiful. Glasses on, no makeup, torn up jeans, a band t-shirt and a beanie. It was now, looking down at his sleeping teammate that Seth realised he was falling for her.
A/N. So that's it for Chapter 7, hope you enjoyed it. Next chapter will be the Vegas trip where I will (finally) begin the arc between Roman, Dean, Sasha and Bayley. Chapter 8 should be out by around Monday/Tuesday depending on how much I get my ass together over the weekend. In the meantime, thank you for reading.
