He's Me…But Different

A/N: So here we go with the Super Show-Down and the following Raw…lots of drama happened with all of that…and I added my own twists and some romance too between Jon and Liv. Hope ya'll enjoy it.

Chapter 2 – There are no Cracks, Only Additions

Jon and the Shield arrived at the arena with plenty of time to spare and the boys decided to film their promo themselves, saying it was a tribute to how they'd started. Jon thought it was kind of badass since they were doing it in a darkened hallway and the production crew edited the footage with little glitches and match clips before putting it on the air.

"Ambrose."

"Rollins."

"Reigns…and we're still here."

Dean was the next to speak after Roman with, "We are…the three workhorses…of Monday Night Raw."

Roman spoke again and said simply, "Our Yard."

"We are…unbreakable." Was Seth's contribution.

Dean followed that up with, "We…are one."

Roman finished it out by saying, "We…are the Shield. Believe that."

They made it look like they were done by dropping the camera but the fans could see their shadowy figures joined by a fourth pair of legs and what sounded like Dean talking to himself.

"Hey…you made it."

"Told ya I'd be here. After everythin you've done for me I couldn't possibly leave ya hanging brother."

I'm just glad your back…and that you're finally here with me."

"Me too Dean…so…how are we gonna do this thing?"

"They'll never know what hit 'em brother."

That was the last anyone heard as the camera shut off entirely and the fans were left wondering what in the heck that was all about. Ziggler and company had watched but Dolph was shaking his head because there was no way the WWE would allow a man who just woke up from a coma two weeks ago to be anywhere near the ring.

The Shield, and Jon, went to Hunter's office to run an idea by him and once he gave his approval they headed to their entrance point. The Shield entered down the stairs in their usual gear with the addition of solid black masks and Dean had a hood up over his head. Jon was a little ways behind them wearing black jeans and a black hoodie that had MOX in big red letters down the back but this one had a deep hood so his face was kept in shadow and no one realized he was with the Shield. Everyone thought he was a fan following them down and they had told security beforehand to keep up that illusion and they were playing along beautifully.

The boys climbed onto the apron of the ring, surrounding the three men inside, and removed their masks before climbing into the ring and then all hell broke loose. Roman goes after Braun, Seth knocks Dolph out of the ring and goes to help Dean with Drew, then Drew is outside the ring and the Shield gangs up on Braun. They get Braun outside the ring and Dean clears off the announcer's table, preparing for a Triple Power-bomb that doesn't happen because Dolph and Drew get involved.

Dolph gets Seth into the ring and starts beating on him as the official rings the bell, then tags in Drew after he and Braun are done beating down Roman and Dean. The three men keep Seth in their corner and make frequent tags in and out to take turns beating him down. Dean is bouncing and seething in the Shield's corner while Roman is glaring and wanting desperately to save Seth.

At one point Drew stretches Seth's arm out in the middle of the ring, taunting Dean and Roman with being unable to make the tag and help him. Later on Braun knocks Dean and Roman off the corner to prevent Seth from tagging either of them and Seth is once again isolated in the center of the ring. Drew drives Roman into the steel steps while Dolph drives Dean into the barricade until the ref catches onto them and starts giving them warnings to get back to their side of the ring.

Braun actually climbs up onto the top of the turnbuckle and jumps, aiming to land on poor Seth but Seth is barely able to roll out of the way in time. This gives Seth the time he needs to get to the corner where Dean has finally gotten back up and is able to make the tag just as Dolph tags in as well.

Dean unloads on Dolph, face planting him into the mat but Dolph kicks out of the pin attempt. At one point the two collide in mid-air while attempting the cross body on each other. Dolph manages to tag in Drew who tries to keep Dean from getting to Roman, but he finally gets Drew down long enough to tag Roman into the match.

Roman seems to dominate drew but Drew does manage to get a boot to Roman's face. Roman counters that by trying to Superman Punch Drew but Drew moves and Roman punches Dean instead, knocking him off the apron and into the barricade. Roman power-bombs Drew and goes for the pin but Dolph breaks it, then Seth gets back into the mix by taking out Dolph and then all hell breaks loose again with Seth and Roman taking the other team out momentarily.

As Roman and Seth get back to their feet Braun, Drew, and Dolph surround them on the ring apron just like the Shield has always done to their enemies. Dean climbs up onto the fourth side, looking around at the enemy and his brothers. Roman and Seth look nervous for a moment as Dean just looks around rubbing his beard, but then Jon is over the barricade and up on the ring apron next to Dean. The fans are surprisingly rather quiet in their confusion until Jon removes his hood and they realize that it's Dean, but not Dean and they start screaming. Dean and Jon charge straight through the ring to take out Braun on the other side. Again all hell breaks loose with the Shield and Jon dominating the other men in the ring until Drew is surrounded by them. When they get Drew up for the Triple Power-Bomb Braun spears all three of them at once and takes them all out, leaving Jon the only one standing until Braun slams him into the mat.

Braun knocks Seth out of the ring, then knocks Roman to the outside, leaving Dean on his own as Dolph and Drew slide in like a pair of snakes. Braun leaves the ring and runs full-speed into Roman, then does the same to poor Seth, nearly flipping him a full 360 degrees. Braun tries to run Jon over but he hops over the barricade and Braun misses. Dolph tries to pin Dean but he's aware enough to kick out and Braun screamed at Dolph loud enough for the in-ring microphones to hear him loud and clear.

"Throw him out on the floor, I'll run his ass over!"

Dolph does exactly that, tossing Dean through the ropes and out onto the floor at ringside. As Jon comes to Dean's side to help him stand up Braun charges at them but Roman comes flying out of nowhere with a massive spear to Braun that takes them both through the barricade. Dolph hits Dean with a super kick and then he and Drew roll Dean back into the ring after Drew Claymore Kicks Jon to keep him out of the way.

Drew and Dolph get ready to do their combination move of Claymore kick and Zig Zag on Dean but Seth super kicks Drew out over the ropes and then Dolph super kicks Seth. When Dolph turns around he runs right into a Dirty Deeds by Dean who pins him for the win. Dean slides out of the ring and checks on Jon, the two sharing a tight hug for a moment before moving to check on Roman.

Seth manages to use the ropes to pull himself into a seated position on the apron with a happy smirk on his face as Dean and Jon make their way past him to go help Roman stand up. Dean slings one of Roman's arms over his own shoulders to take some of his weight and Jon does the same on the other side, Seth meets them halfway and checks to see if Roman is ok, smiling when Roman answers that he'll be fine. When they reach the ring Seth grabs his and Roman's title belts and then Roman leans himself against the ring for a breather. Seth sits on the apron next to Roman and Dean comes over to wrap his arms around Seth's head and plant a kiss to Seth's hair, which gets him a happy grin from Seth. Roman and Seth put their fists out and Dean points to Jon's hand before joining his fist with theirs. Jon got the hint and threw his fist in as well which had the fans really losing their minds as they slowly started to put the pieces together and realizes that Dean Ambrose had a twin brother and that twin was now the fourth member of the Shield.

After they left the ring and made their way backstage they ran into the Riott Squad who had lost their match and were looking rather down about it.

"Congratulations Jon…you looked good out there…really badass…"

"Thanks Bubblegum. Hey…I got an idea. How about you ladies let the four of us, and Renee of course, treat ya to dinner?"

"I'm in!"

"Of course you're in Liv…mainly because it's him who asked right?"

"Well…that…and there's food being offered that I don't have to cook or pay for."

They all shared a laugh over that one as Liv wrapped her arms around one of Jon's and that apparently settled things as the other two ladies shrugged and agreed to join them. Once the show was over and Renee was able to join them Dean told her the plan and she was all for it.

"Finally…I won't be the only female surrounded by all this testosterone."

Liv and the girls laughed while the boys just shrugged because honestly she wasn't wrong. They all went in two cars with Dean, Renee, Jon, and Liv in one and the other four in the second car. By the time they got to the restaurant Roman and Ruby looked about ready to commit homicide while Seth and Sarah were arguing about Crossfit of all things.

"Guys! Really? Can ya save it till after we eat?"

"Sorry Jon…we're just both really into it…guess we got a little heated there huh?"

"Little bit…come on…I'm starvin over here."

It had taken almost the whole two weeks for Jon's stomach to let him eat real food again but he still had to be careful to avoid anything too greasy or his stomach would reject it. Seven years of tube-feeding had done his stomach no favors. Liv noticed him staring hard at the menu and leaned in to whisper softly in his ear, remembering how he'd tried to eat pizza in catering a week ago and thrown it up five minutes later.

"The cream soups here are really good…they're filling but not too heavy. I saw the pizza incident last week so I figured that your stomach might not be thrilled with a lot of real food yet. My favorite is the cream of shrimp."

"Thanks Bubblegum…and yeah, you're right about my stomach. Doc says it'll take time for it to go back to normal…been feeding from a tube for seven years so…little off right now."

"That's ok. I'll help where I can Jon."

Jon gave her a side hug and when the waitress came they both ordered the cream of shrimp soup and then snorted in laughter as they spoke in unison. The rest of the group just watched them in amusement but Dean had been close enough to hear what Liv had said to Jon and he shot her a grateful look to which she just smiled.

After dinner, which Jon had to admit was pretty damn good, they all decided to walk to a nearby park and just relax a bit before heading back to the hotel for the night. Seth and Sarah's relaxation turned out to be a bench jumping contest to see who could jump onto and off of a park bench the most number of times while Roman and Ruby kept count for each of their friends. Dean and Renee had decided to lay on the grass and look at the stars so Jon and Liv joined them. Eventually they all started to wind down and get tired so they drove back to the hotel and went to bed so they'd be ready to go for Raw the next night.

Raw is in Chicago this time and Jon relaxes in the Shield locker room with his brother and their friends. Seth and Roman had basically adopted Jon just as they'd done with Dean and Jon was finding that he rather enjoyed having more brothers around. He was also enjoying having Liv's head on his lap while she sucked on yet another Jolly Rancher, and he swore she had a magically refilling supply in that pocket of hers because they never seemed to run out. Liv and her friends had taken to hanging out with the Shield now that Jon was an official member because Liv just wanted to be around him all the time, something about him just called to her like a siren's song and she didn't even attempt to resist.

They all watch as Hunter and Shawn go out to the ring and talk about the disrespect Undertaker and Kane showed to them after the Super Show-Down match between Hunter and Taker, which Hunter had won. They laid down a challenge for the Brothers of Destruction and ended their segment with the reunion of DX. Then they watched Bobby Lashley defeat Kevin Owens and allow his little sidekick to talk him into going back and savagely attacking Kevin's knee over and over again.

"So…I guess Lashley is a heel now?"

"Looks that way Bubblegum."

They watch the announcement of the WWE World Cup for Crown Jewel, and they all groan in unison when it's mentioned that John Cena doesn't even have to qualify and is automatically in. The other three men from Raw will have to qualify for it which just seems horribly unfair, and there will also be 4 from Smackdown to make a total of 8 men. The announcement of Baron Corbin's Global Battle Royal to pick the qualifiers is met with more than a little skepticism from the group.

"Why do I get the feeling that this is going to be some kind of stupid scheme of his, Rollins?"

"Because it probably will be, Logan. He doesn't know how to be fair."

Seth and Sarah had taken to calling each other by their last names and bickered often over every tiny little thing which led to the rest of the group either being amused or annoyed…sometimes both. The interview with Bayley and Finn Balor led to more than a few chuckles and Ruby making the comment that Alicia was more than just a little bit Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs which had them all laughing.

Backstage interview with Finn and Bayley done by Kayla.

"Finn, Bayley…tonight you have a rematch from this past week's Mixed Match Challenge when you face Mahalicia. Now you two have shown great teamwork, but are you worried that with another opportunity Jinder and Alicia may have had the chance to get on the same page?"

Finn "Same page? I don't even think they're on the same planet right now."

Bayley "I mean, individually they're both tough competition but…when they're together…I don't know…they're too worried about whose gonna wear the captain's hat, rather than figuring out how to beat us. Cuz Finn and I are like…two peas in a pod?"

Finn "We're like Peanut Butter and Jelly."

Bayley "We're like Batman and Robin."

Finn "Well whose Batman?"

Bayley "We're both Batman."

Finn "I like that."

Lio Rush interrupts the interview chanting Lashley's name over and over and then going on about how Lashley should be the one being interviewed instead…even going so far as to say his mouth with Lashley's muscle is "too sweet" and stealing Finn's catch phrase.

Liv was giggling like crazy over Finn and Bayley's little exchange of phrases to describe how in sync they are…which everyone had to admit the two were pretty damn good in the ring together. The girls headed to the gorilla position and Jon decided to walk with them, Liv's arm looped through his own as she leaned against him and crunched on the last bits of her candy.

"Is my tongue blue enough Jon?"

Liv stuck her tongue out at him and he chuckled before deciding to be a little bold and lean in to lick her tongue, tasting a hint of the blue raspberry flavor before smirking at how flushed her cheeks had gotten.

"Yeah Bubblegum…nice and blue…tasty too."

"You…I…Jon!"

Jon's smirk widened as Sarah and Ruby dragged Liv to the curtain, giving her a cheeky little wave right before they dragged her onto the stage with them. Jon noticed the camera nearby had caught their little interaction and realized that was why the fans had started screaming their heads off. The Riott Squad had demanded a rematch against Rhonda and her pet Bella twins. Ruby and Sarah had their game faces on but it took Liv an extra few seconds to calm her racing heart and get her head in the game again.

Brie and Liv start off and Brie goes for the Yes kicks again but Liv explodes on her like a little cannonball and starts beating the high holy hell out of Brie until her partners pull her back. Jon is backstage grinning like a jackal as he watched his little spitfire go off on the woman who had knocked her out a couple weeks prior. Dean comes up beside him at this point and huffs at his twin's expression.

"What did you do now?"

"She stuck her tongue out at me to ask if it was blue enough…"

"…and?"

"…and I licked it…got her all flustered before those two dragged her out there. Think she used the Bella Barbie there as a way to let out a bit of that frustration…that and she just really hates her."

"Glad to know you're still a handful brother."

"Always…wouldn't be me if I didn't cause a little chaos now and then."

Sarah tags herself in as Rhonda does the same. Nikki and Ruby end up facing off next, then Brie tags in and goes for her "Brie Mode" thing but Sarah and Liv pull Ruby out of the ring, then Ruby pulls Brie out and attacks her with an STO Takedown before rolling her back into the ring.

Liv tags in and starts unloading kicks on Brie in her team's corner, and then screams in the ref's face when he tells her to back off getting one last big kick in before tagging Sarah. Jon looks at Dean's wide-eyed stare and starts laughing.

"Told you that one's a little firecracker…I cannot wait to have her riding me…"

"Jon…PG show man…tone it down a lil bit."

Sarah howls like a wolf before hitting Brie with a running knee but Brie kicks out of the pin attempt. Sarah tags Liv back in and Liv gets a good hard kick to Brie's head but Brie kicks out again so Liv tags in Ruby who kicks Brie in the chest…but she kicks out yet again. Brie tries to drive Ruby into her team's corner but Ruby knocks her down, then knocks Nikki off the apron. Rhonda gets into the ring but the ref gets in her way. Sarah and Liv take advantage of the Ref's distraction to attack Brie but are out on the apron by the time the Ref turns back around. Brie knocks them off the apron and hits a Missile Drop-kick which gives her the chance to tag Rhonda in and Rhonda drops Ruby, knocks Liv and Sarah off the apron just as they climb back up, and then kicks out of the roll-up Ruby puts her into.

Rhonda starts to position Ruby for the arm bar, Liv and Sarah try to come in and interfere but the Bella's pull them back from either side of the ring so Rhonda locks in the Arm bar and Ruby taps out to avoid injury.

"Ah damn…I thought the girls were gonna get it this time."

The Riott Squad comes backstage as their opponents start to celebrate in the ring. Liv's head is hanging down and the other two look equally disappointed in the result. Jon stepped into Liv's space and used a crooked finger to tilt her chin up to look at him, not even realizing a camera was watching them yet again.

"Chin up Bubblegum…you'll get them back soon enough…besides…you showed that Bella Barbie whose boss out there. You got nothing to be unhappy for."

Liv's lips turned up into a little grin and Jon felt proud of himself for making her smile. He leaned in and gave her lips a feather-light kiss before heading back to his twin, leaving Liv staring longingly at his backside while the fans in the arena lost their minds. The Bellas make disgusted faces at the Titantron showing this scene bur Rhonda is actually smiling because she thinks it's kind of adorable.

The Bellas turn and attack Rhonda, leaving her hurt and confused at the betrayal everyone else saw coming from the start. Rhonda gets mad and starts fighting back but Brie drives her into the ring post and the two on one attack continues. Several Refs come out to try and stop the Bellas but it's not doing much good and they throw Rhonda into the steel steps, then into the barricade. They drag her into the ring by her hair and leave her lying in the center, Nikki putting her foot on Rhonda's back before dropping her title over her back and leaving the ring. Nikki even rips a fan's sign out of her hands and tosses it to the side, showing a complete lack of respect for the people who made her and Brie as popular as they were.

By the time Liv and company catch up to Jon and Dean in the Shield's locker room the match between Team B&B and Mahalicia is underway. At one point Finn holds Bayley up so she can kick Jinder in the face a couple times then lifts her again so she do a head-scissors take-down that rolls Jinder out of the ring. This has Liv cooing at how cute and sweet that is while Dean and Seth make gagging motions that earn them dual head slaps from Roman. Finn eventually hits his Coup-de-gras and pins Jinder for the win and then Finn and Bayley hug and throw their arms in the air to Finn's music in celebration.

Braun, Dolph, and Drew are shown backstage where Dolph is pacing and making excuses for the Super Show-Down loss. He starts telling Braun and Drew what they need to do to win and Drew snaps at him, ending his mini-rant by telling him he's sick of him trying to call the shots and that he lost the match, not them, and that he needs to start worrying about pulling his own weight. Braun snaps at both of them and says he's tired of their bickering and that they need to remember they're only there to help him win the Universal Title because that's what's best for all of them and he doesn't want to hear any more excuses from either of them.

"Oooo…looks like your rivals have their own cracks to worry about."

"Got that right Bubblegum. Ain't no cracks in our team…only the fake ones we keep showing 'em to make 'em think we're not on the same page."

"That's a great strategy…who thought that one up?"

"I did, Logan…I AM the architect after all."

"Doesn't mean you're always right Rollins."

The two started bickering again as the Global Battle Royal segment started up, announcing that the winner would gain an immediate entry into the WWE World Cup at Crown Jewel. Of course Corbin comes out and runs his mouth as usual, whining about the fans booing him, and then puts himself into the Global Battle Royal match…not a shock to anyone in the group watching backstage.

"Now I know all of your probably know every one of their names…but I'm gonna just tell you them to make sure. Representing Russia…we have Gregor, the sicko, Falcon. From Egypt…The Sultan of Shwarma. Now from Mexico we have…El Hombre sin Nombre. From Poland…Stanilaus the Squeezer. From Chille…the cruel…the cunning…Chilean Sea Bass. All the way from Antarctica…Doctor Winston von Voorheez. Representing Belgium…Franz the Belgian Waffler. Spain's greatest Champion…The Conquistador."

They watched all of these introductions and Liv ended up leaning into Jon's chest and laughing at the ridiculous names, the Chilean Sea Bass had her nearly crying from laughing so hard. The rest of them weren't much better as this ridiculous stunt continued on.

"Now this next guy…I cannot believe he is here…it is amazing. From Luxemburg…he is the master of the Bronze Claw…Thunder Montgomery. Now, representing the United States…Myself! Baron Corbin!"

"What a shocker…NOT!"

Jon chuckled at Liv and ran his fingers through her pretty pink hair until she settled back against his chest again. As the bell rings the men all surround Corbin but he throws them off while the Conquistador, in his hideous gold suit, rolls out under the bottom rope and just sits against the ring post looking bored while Corbin starts eliminating everyone else. The Waffler goes first, then the Russian, the doctor goes over next, followed shortly by the Mexican, next up is the Sea Bass, then its Egypt, then Poland. The last in the ring with Corbin is Montgomery tries to put his 'claw' on Corbin's face but he too is sent over the top rope to the floor leaving Corbin standing alone thinking he'd won the match.

Corbin starts celebrating and seems confused when the Ref doesn't ring the bell but then realizes the golden guy was still in the match. Goldie wraps his arms around Corbin's middle and starts hitting him with one German Suplex after another, for a grand total of three of them…which should have been the first clue to the man's real identity. He hits Corbin with another Suplex type move and then sends him over the top rope to the floor and wins the match. The Conquistador celebrates in the ring with a bit of ridiculous dancing and then stands at the ropes, looking down at Corbin's expression of disbelief as he peels off his mask to reveal Kurt Angle. As Kurt's music starts playing instead of the fiesta music Corbin starts screaming No and throwing a tantrum at ringside. Kurt has a brief interview with Charly backstage saying he's technically still on vacation before leaving the arena via a ramp in the back meant for vehicles.

There's a match between Nia Jax and Ember Moon, who had become pretty good friends, and after Ember wins Nia holds her arm up. The two share a brief friendly hug as they leave the ring with Nia patting Ember's head a bit.

Jon leaves the room, with Liv hanging onto his arm again, and heads to the gorilla for his match against Corbin. Hunter had followed through and given him what he wanted so he was thrilled. Corbin was sent down to the ring by Hunter, being told only that he had a match right then against an opponent of Hunter's choosing. He leans in to ask Liv if she plans to go out with him and she nods with a big grin on her lips so he shrugs and decides to roll with it since Hunter wanted to see their romance on screen anyway. The heavy beats of Indestructible by Disturbed play out across the arena and Liv smirks at his choice of music. Jon and Dean both felt it was rather fitting considering what he'd been through.

"…And his opponent, from Cincinnati Ohio…Jon Moxley!"

When they reach the ring Liv leans on his arms, stretching up on the tips of her toes to kiss his cheek and wish him luck, but as she sashays her way past him he gives her perky little butt a light tap and she throws a flirty wink over her shoulder that has him smirking at her. When the bell rang Corbin tried to clothesline Jon but Jon was having none of it and knocked Corbin for a loop. Jon rained down blow after blow on Corbin, unrelenting and unstoppable, until Corbin could barely tell which direction he was even facing anymore. Jon showed absolutely no mercy as he hit Corbin with one move after another until Corbin finally stopped moving and Jon pinned him for the 1, 2,3.

Liv slid into the ring and slapped the ref's hand away so she could raise Jon's hand herself and the two shared a hug before leaving Corbin sprawled out in the center of the ring. Corbin hadn't been able to land a single hit on Jon as the man had allowed all of the emotions he'd been bottling up over his two week recovery to come pouring out against his opponent…Corbin never stood a chance. When they got back to the locker room Jon was swept into a hug with his twin, joined swiftly by the other two men and then the girls surrounded all of them.

"Damn brother…you beat his ass good out there."

"Had a lot of shit pent up in here Dean…he gave me an outlet."

"Poor bastard never saw it coming man."

They all chuckled at Seth's very true statement, settling back into their spots as Trish Stratus comes out to a standing, and screaming, ovation from the fans and Liv starts bouncing with excitement. Trish talks about the All Women's pay-per-view, Evolution and starts bad-mouthing her opponent Alexa Bliss, who she calls little miss brat, but Alexa comes out to interrupt her with Mickie James at her side. Trish counters Alexa's insults by insulting Alexa's height. Alexa starts off seeming sincere in her praise of Trish and how she grew up watching her then ends it by saying Trish sucked. Trish then challenges Alexa to a match right then and there but Mickie stops them saying Chicago doesn't deserve it. Mickie ends up suggesting that she and Alexa both take on Trish who looks exited by the idea of a Tag Match. When Trish points to the stage and Lita comes out to a huge ovation from the crowd Liv actually squeals louder than the fans, much to the rest of the group's amusement. Alexa and Mickie try to go after the other two but Trish and Lita turn the tables and dominate them until they leave the ring.

"I take it you're a Lita fan Bubblegum?"

"Yes! I grew up watching her and wanting to kick ass just like she did. She fought men and women…she didn't care what anyone else thought…she was a total badass Jon."

The boys chuckled at her but had to leave for a bit to film a little promo of their own, stepping into an unused room where a camera is waiting on the floor, showing the fans a view of floor and wall until a pair of black boots come into view followed by a second pair and the camera is lifted up to show the Shield…all four of them.

Seth "They tried to break us."

Dean "We don't break."

Jon "We don't crack."

Roman "What you need to understand…is we're not an alliance…we're not a friendship…we're a Brotherhood."

Dean "Braun, Ziggler, McIntyre…maybe you think…you're vicious…maybe you think…you've done some ruthless things…"

Jon "Well make no mistake about it…you are not the bad guys."

Seth "We…are the bad guys."

Roman "It doesn't matter if we're in Melbourne…or Chicago. When the three of them go against the three of us the story stays the same."

Seth "We don't bend…we don't crack…we don't stop. We are…the one…true…constant."

Dean "We…are the Hounds of Justice."

Jon "There are no cracks…"

Dean "…only additions."

Roman "We…are the Shield. Believe That."

The camera is thrown to the ground and four sets of boots are seen leaving the room before the screen goes black. When the guys get back to their room Jon is pounced on by Liv who jumps on him, relying on his strength to keep her from falling on her ass. Jon chuckles and gives her lips a quick little kiss before setting her on the sofa.

"I'm guessing you enjoyed that Bubblegum?"

"You looked so hot and badass…and you had that deep growly voice going on…"

Jon leaned over her, one arm braced on either side of her body, and nuzzled along her throat before whispering in her ear.

"Sounds like someone is getting a little hot and bothered in here. Ya need ol' Mox here to give ya some relief Bubblegum?"

Liv turned bright red from her ears all the way down her chest while her friends snickered at her for getting all flustered…though, to be fair, they'd probably be just as bad in her place because honestly the man and his twin were both built like walking wet dreams. Liv whined at Jon and weakly tried to push him away, part of her wanting space and part of her wanting to jump him right then and there. Jon decided to have mercy on her and let her calm back down while turning his attention back to the screen.

A replay of the Bellas betraying Rhonda is shown and it is confirmed that Rhonda will face Nikki for the Women's title at Evolution in a move that shocked nobody, and pissed the girls off something fierce. It was also confirmed that Trish and Lita will face Alexa and Mickie at Evolution. This is followed by a recap of Super Show-Down between Taker and Hunter and replay of Hunter's Are You Ready speech and the return of DX. After confirmation of the match between DX and the Brothers of Destruction at Crown Jewel a video package is shown highlighting some of DX's hilarious antics over the years…including when they slimed the Spirit Squad in the ring and yanked the Axel off of Vince's limo.

Paul Heyman comes out onto the stage and runs his mouth as the boys leave the locker room and head to their entrance spot. Paul starts saying he's here to watch the fight between the Shield and their enemies. He says he's here to see a fight, to see some legalized thuggery as the Dogs of War and the Shield fight, but he finds it quite ironic that 72 hours ago, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman beat the high holy living crap out of each other in Australia, and flew 20 hours to get here just to beat the high holy living crap out of each other again, because that's what we do in WWE, seven days a week and twice on Sunday. He says that meanwhile, Brock Lesnar is at home eating a home-cooked meal and training at the gym he designed for the specific purpose of becoming the very first two-sport concurrent champion in UFC and WWE. He says Brock is the only individualist who wants to win the title, because both Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman are parts of a team, whereas Lesnar says "me, me, me", and that's why he's going to win the Universal Championship back in Saudi Arabia.

The boys had used Heyman's long-winded speech to get to their entrance spot at the top of the arena and as he finished speaking The Shield's music came across the speakers. The four men hit the stairs, coming down to the ring as a cohesive unit while Heyman looks like a nervous rabbit on the stage before bolting for the back. The "Dogs of War" come out next, seemingly united again, as the Shield waits in the ring for them to get in. Jon isn't technically in the match so he leans against the barricade near the Shield's corner to watch for now, but he's ready to get involved if has to.

Seth and Drew start off the match, Seth dropping to the mat to avoid one clothesline and then jumping over Drew to avoid a second one. Dean tags in and he goes after Drew but Drew tags in Braun who steamrolls Dean. Dean ends up in a corner with Jon yelling at him to watch out which allows Dean to dodge Braun's run and tag Roman in. Braun spears Roman and gets him into his team's corner before tagging in Dolph but The Shield comes in as a unit and sends Dolph and Drew over the top rope before facing down Braun. Braun hops off the apron and starts yelling at his team mates to "get your crap together" which, despite making Drew look like he's seething in anger, seems to get them all back on the same page. Braun choke slams Roman onto the edge of the apron and takes control of the match before tagging Dolph back in but Roman manages to get a good hard uppercut on Dolph who rolls over to tag Braun back in again.

Braun runs at Roman from the opposite corner but Roman moves so he slams full speed into the turnbuckle, but Braun is back in the game before Roman can make a tag so Roman lifts him up for a Samoan drop and tags Seth in just as Braun tags in Dolph. Seth is dominating Dolph while Dean is on the floor trying to get Roman back up and running again with Jon keeping an eye on the enemy. Seth pulls a Buckle Bomb on Dolph and goes for the pin but Drew breaks it up only to get speared by Dean who starts punching him anywhere he can reach and then hurls him over the top rope. Jon squares off with Drew for moment but Drew is more interested in his actual opponents and walks away from Jon who just snorts and seethes at being dismissed like that.

Braun grabs Dean by the throat and then gets Seth too, but Roman Superman Punches Braun which forces him to let go of them. Dean runs at him and lands both feet into Braun's chest then Seth comes in with a big kick and knocks him down out of the ring. Dean starts bouncing on his feet like an overly caffeinated squirrel and then Seth catches on and does the same thing before they run to the opposite side of the ring and then fly through the ropes in a Suicide Dive onto Dolph and Drew. Jon is just watching the two in amused disbelief because honestly this version of his twin is a lot less reckless than they both used to be in the past. Braun grabs Seth and Dean by the backs of their necks but Roman flies over the top rope to take him down, unfortunately taking his brothers down with him which makes Jon wince in sympathy and start rallying them back to their feet.

Once they're all back in the ring Braun takes control of Seth while Dean paces on the apron like a caged animal and Jon smirks because once that animal gets let loose it's going to be painful for the guy on the receiving end. Braun drives Seth into his corner and tags in Drew who tries to pin Seth but he kicks out. Seth tries to leap over Drew to get to his team but gets caught in midair, fingertips away from tagging in Dean when Drew drops him hard to the mat. Drew tags in Dolph who starts beating on Seth so Seth grabs Dolph's legs and hurls him over his own body into the turnbuckle face first. Seth starts crawling towards the wrong corner do Jon starts yelling his name and Seth turns to follow his voice, but by the time he gets his bearings Dolph has tagged in Drew. After hitting Drew with a hard kick to the head Seth tries to reach his brothers but Braun runs over Seth to knock Roman and Dean off the apron and isolate Seth in the ring.

Braun leaves the ring throws Dean into the barricade so hard that he actually bounces off of it, then he tosses Roman into the steel steps. Jon crouches over his brother and actually snarls at Braun when he steps towards him again so Braun changes course and goes after Seth instead, dragging him into his team's corner. He gets into Dolph's face yelling at him that this is how you get things done and pull your weight and Dolph starts poking Braun in the chest while yelling back. Braun grabs Dolph by the throat but Drew yanks him around and gets in his face instead, then the two start to go at each other but Seth runs into Drew, knocking him into Braun, and then sends Drew over the top rope to land on Braun after the big guy had rolled out of the ring…which leaves Jon snorting in laughter at the whole scene while getting Dean back to his feet and into his corner again.

Seth finally makes it to his corner and tags in Dean who does a suicide dive out onto Braun and Drew before rolling Drew back into the ring. The two go back and forth until Dolph tries to distract Dean from their corner and dean knocks him off but gets slammed by Drew who covers him only to have Roman break it up. Dolph Super kicks Roman and then Seth goes after Dolph but gets thrown back and then Dolph tries to super kick Seth but Dean intercepts the kick and gets himself pushed back. Seth flips Dolph and himself out of the ring over the top rope and then Drew and Dean start trading blows until they clothesline each other hard enough that the whole arena could hear the impact. Jon rubs his own neck and chest like he could physically feel the blow Dean just took, and he sort of could with their bond as twins…not full on but kind of a residual aching feeling.

Roman tries to Superman Punch Braun outside the ring but gets caught and when Braun lifts him up for a power slam Dean dives through the ropes and gets himself caught instead, earning himself a hard DDT that leaves him curled in a ball as Jon comes racing over and uses the steel steps as a Launchpad into the air, lading a hard double kick to Braun that left the big man reeling on the floor. Jon crawls over to check on his twin as Braun manages to get back to his feet only to eat a spear from Roman. Dean manages to get into the ring with Jon's assistance and beat the Ref's count. Dolph tries to kick him again only to have Seth come in and take Dolph over the top rope with himself once again, then Dean turns around into a Claymore kick and gets pinned by Drew for the win. As Drew rolls out of the ring Seth rolls back in, and Drew gathers up his team. They head up the ramp together while Roman rolls himself into the ring next to Seth.

Roman and Seth are sitting near the edge of the ring trying to catch their breath and looking up at where their rivals are heading towards the backstage area, meanwhile Dean is still in the middle of the ring in obvious pain while his Shield brothers seen oblivious to it but Jon is by his twin's side and trying to help him get up. Roman and Seth seem to be having a conversation on their knees while Dean hangs over the middle rope looking…well…decidedly not happy at having lost to Drew again. When Dean rolls out of the ring and starts walking towards the ramp Jon is by his side. Seth finally turns to watch them and ends up facing the way he'd started as he and Roman watch Dean and Jon walk up the ramp and disappear backstage without even looking back at them once. The two left behind in the ring share a look of confused disbelief. While they sit there in shock an interviewer catches up to Dean and asks him what everyone just saw out there. Dean is clearly struggling with something, his arms are on his head and when they come down he looks…lost and upset. Jon just wraps an arm around his brother's shoulders and kisses the side of his head as Dean speaks up.

"I don't get it! I don't get it…maybe I just don't…fit in anywhere anymore…maybe the only one I can count on is my twin here."

Dean walked away from the interviewer, leaning heavily on his twin as they walk up the same car ramp that Kurt Angle had used earlier that night, vanishing into the darkness of the night while everyone in the arena watches the monitors in shock. The two men go to slip back inside but are met by Liv and her friends carrying their bags outside.

"We figured you two might want to be away from the other two for a bit after all that so we brought your stuff out for ya. You guys ok though?"

"We'll be fine Bubblegum. Dean and I don't handle losses real well so he's gonna be a bit of a bitch to deal with tonight."

This earned Jon a cuff to the side of his head from Dean but he just laughed it off and rubbed Dean's short-haired head affectionately.

"Well…Sarah and Ruby share a room while I'm all alone in the one next to theirs. If you two want some sibling bonding time Renee cans tay with me tonight…if she wants to that is."

"You're an angel Bubblegum."

"Am not."

"Are too."

The two bickered the whole way to the parking lot while Dean sent Renee a text to explain things to her, receiving one in reply that she'd hang out with Liv and the girls for the night and get to know them better. So Renee spent the night hanging out with the Riott Squad while Jon helped dean calm down and stop seething over his loss, but it still took until the next morning for Dean to actually answer the phone when one of his team mates called…for what Jon swore had to be the billionth time, the two men could be annoyingly persistent.

A/N: And there's the next installment of my Twins story. This was kind of fun to write…little drama…little flirting…little sassiness…and of course some brotherly love. I hope you guys liked the way I did Jon Moxley's first official match. Let me know what ya'll think.
