Chapter 24
The next night on Raw the show started with its normal fireworks display before it was abruptly cut short as 'Sierra Hotel India Echo Lima Delta Shield' as the Shield headed down through the crowd towards the ring and all 4 of them had microphones.
"Last night at the Royal Rumble Shane McMahon through everything he had at us and it was just enough for them to make sure we aren't going to Wrestlemania to compete for either the Divas title or the WWE title" said Seth Rollins.
"And you know what we had fun out there last night a good old fashioned scrap with a little back up from family" said Paige.
"The only downer is the fact that Shane had to bring in extra guys to outnumber us and even brought back the Mean Street Posse who were dealt with by the one team we consider to be basis of the Shield the APA. Bray Wyatt you and your family will be dealt with for what you did to Paige" said Dean.
"Now McMahons get you asses out here" said Reigns.
'Here Comes the Money' plays out as Shane McMahon comes out on to the Entrance ramp.
'Welcome to the Queendom' plays out as Stephanie McMahon comes out to join her brother.
"Ok so after we embarrassed you four last night you still think you can come out here and do whatever you want?" asked Shane.
"Yes and do you know why?" asked Seth.
"No and we don't really care" said Stephanie.
"It's quite simple we are the Shield and we will destroy all injustice whatever the cost" said Paige.
"So what do you want this time since you called us out?" asked Shane.
"We have an offer that you can't afford to refuse" said Roman.
"Oh really and just what would that be?" asked Stephanie.
"It's the one thing that would make the Authority, Evolution, Adapt or Perish or whatever you are going to call yourselves very happy the Shield if you win the challenge we will disband and never team up again but if we win then you will disband your group and hire someone to run the show" said Ambrose.
"Interesting challenge and I admit that the offer to disband the Shield when we win would be perfect for us, but there are 4 of you so what happens if it's a draw?" asked Shane.
"Simple we have 2 one on one matches and a tag match" said Seth.
"The challenge's we lay down are for HBK to step in the Ring with Seth Rollins, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall to Step in the Ring with Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, and finally for you Stephanie McMahon to step in the ring with me" said Paige.
'Rockhouse' plays out as HBK, Hall and Nash all come out wearing NWO T-Shirts.
"You know as much as we would like to get in the ring with you but it won't be happening you see we know that Reigns and Ambrose would easily beat Scott and I, and we also know that Shawn is not in wrestling condition anymore" said Nash.
"But we do have an idea and Seth how about I find a surprise opponent for you" said HBK.
"The NWO is one of the Strongest Factions to ever exist but we are not in the right condition to fight you but we have friends who will one day" said Hall.
'Gong, Rest in Peace' played out as Undertaker appeared on the Titantron.
"Shield due to you Eliminating me in the Royal Rumble that I was destined to win and continue my legendary Wrestlemania streak so now your final resting place has been decided at Wrestlemania My Brother Kane and I will do what everyone has wanted to do since you first got here and that is make the Shield Rest In Peace" with that said the Undertaker vanished.
"So are you going to back out Stephanie or are you going to stand and fight?" asked Paige.
"If you agree to the changes we have made I will face you Paige" said Stephanie.
"Oh I defiantly agree I can't wait to get my hands on you at Wrestlemania" said Paige smirking, as the Shield left the ring and headed back up through the crowd until they were stopped by Shanes Voice.
"Hey Shield don't you want to know who you are facing tonight?" asked Shane.
"Go on then who do we destroy tonight?" asked Seth.
"Paige I hope your back up is still here since you will need them since you are in a 6 diva tag if they are not here then you will be going in 3 on 1 against Charlotte, Tamina and Natalya" said Stephanie.
"Oh and the rest of the Shield are band from ring side" added Shane before then continuing and saying "As for the rest of the Shield Roman, Seth and Dean the worst case scenario is that you will be in a 6 on 3 handicap match the best case scenario is that you will be in a 5 on 6 handicap match if you can find two partners, and your opponents will be D-Generation-X members Road Dogg, Bad Ass Billy Gunn and X-Pac along with the Mean Street Posse"
"Oh my the McMahons are really stacking the deck against the Shield tonight" said Cole.
"They really are Michael" said JBL.
"The only question now is will we have a 6 diva tag or a 3 on 1 handicap match, and also will the Shield find 2 people to team with them tonight" said King.
The new Hounds of Justice
Later that night in the Shields locker room Paige was on the Phone calling her mother to see if she and Kay Lee Ray were free to come to Raw for a match tonight.
"Sorry but Kay Lee has already headed off to Orlando for a NXT Tapping against Nia Jax, but I can be there in about 15 minutes" said Saraya.
"Thanks for doing this and by the time you get here I'll see if I can find another team mate" said Paige.
"You know who to recruit so I will see you both when I get their" said Saraya.
"I will thanks for doing this, see you soon" said Paige as she ended the call with her mother and then went back in to her phone book and looked for the one name she knew she could trust then she rung the number and waited for her to answer the phone.
"Hello" said Becky.
"Hey Becky do you feel like giving me a hand tonight?" asked Paige.
"Sure but who is the third person on our team?" asked Becky.
"Let's just say that the Knight Dynasty will ride again" said Paige.
"Ok I'm in this will be fun" said Becky.
"It sure will let's get together and go over strategy" said Paige.
"I'll come to your locker room soon, see yah then" said Becky.
"Ok see you soon" said Paige as they both ended the call, Paige then turned to the rest of the Shield "Ok so I've got my partners sorted what about you" said Paige.
"Not yet but we have a few options" said Dean.
Just then Seth's phone began to ring. "This is going to be interesting, I wonder if the WWE is ready for this even if it is for one night only" said Seth as he answered the phone.
"Hey I thought one of you might ring" said Seth.
"So you got any team in mind for your partners tonight" said the voice.
"How about you two?" asked Dean.
"You're on it will be good to have a good fight again" said the voice.
"Just make sure you get here in time for our match" said Reigns.
"Don't Worry we will have your backs since were virtually family" said the voice before hanging up.
"Well I guess we have our two tag partners then" said Seth.
"Yeah and don't forget I will be out there at ringside and help however I can" said Paige.
The new Hounds of Justice
15 minutes later Becky Lynch enters the Shield locker room and beside her was Saraya Knight.
"So are you three ready to ride again?" asked Seth.
"Well it has been a while but I'm sure we can work together against this foe" said Becky.
"What about you guys do you have your partners for the match?" asked Saraya.
The Shield all laughed and Paige said "We have the best team we could ask for as our partners tonight"
After that Paige, Saraya and Becky spent the next half an hour going over strategy's for the match the Stage Hand knocked on the door and told them it was time to head to their Entrance point so the three of them headed to the Gorilla and waited out of sight of Charlotte, Natalya and Tamina.
'Recognition' plays out as Charlotte, Natalya and Tamina make their way to the ring.
The Following contest is a 6 Diva Tag Team match scheduled for 1 fall introducing the first team from the Queen City Charlotte and her partners first from Calgary Alberta Canada Natalya, and from the Isle of Samoa Tamina" said Lillian.
"Well theirs one team now let's see if Paige has a full team or if she will be in a handicap match" said JBL.
'Faint' plays out as Paige, Sweet Saraya and Becky Lynch make their way down to the ring. (Check out their entrance on Youtube called knight dynasty entrance)
"And their opponents first from Norwich England the Knight Dynasty and their tag team partner from Dublin Ireland she is the WWE Divas Champion Becky Lynch" said Lillian.
"I don't believe my eyes I never thought the full Knight Dynasty would ever appear in the WWE" said Michael Cole.
"Since you know everything Michael how long has it been since these three were in the same ring?" asked JBL.
"To the best of my knowledge it was back in early 2011" said Cole as the bell rung to signify the start of the match.
Paige started the match off for her team and Charlotte started to match for her team but Charlotte quickly tagged out to Tamina who came in and locked up with Paige.
"Charlotte already thinking that she doesn't want to start this match as she tags in Tamina" said Cole.
"That's smart if you ask me obviously Charlotte wants to let her team mates get a piece of the action first" said JBL.
"It's cowardice if you ask me, I think Charlotte knows she can't get in there and compete with Paige in a fair one on one match so she wants Tamina and Natalya to weaken Paige for her" said King.
Tamina used her size to get an early advantage by connecting with a Snapmere taking Paige to the mat, Tamina then hit a Forearm into the back of Paige and then lifted her up and hit a Samoan Drop before going for a Leg Drop only for Paige to role away, when Tamina slowly got up Paige was ready for her and hit her with a Sharp kick to her mid-section then Paige Irish Whipped Tamina into the Corner where her partners were waiting, Paige tags in Becky and together they hit a Double Suplex to Tamina before Paige leaves the ring.
"Nice double team manoeuvre there by Paige and Becky Lynch" said JBL.
"Yeah the two of them have such a good understanding with each other" said Cole.
"If you think those two have a good understanding with each other how would you describe the understanding between Paige and Sweet Saraya?" questioned King.
"I would say they could probably have a silent conversation with each other just by looking at each other" said Cole.
"Well of course they could Michael they are Mother and Daughter" said JBL.
Becky moves into position and delivers her triple Leg Drops to Tamina and then goes for a pin but Natalya breaks up the pin and then as Becky gets up and confronts her as Natalya hits her with a Discus Clothesline, then drags Becky towards the corner that Charlotte now stood waiting. Tamina got to her feet and made her way over to the corner and tagged in Charlotte who entered the ring and attacked Becky preventing her from getting back to her feet, the Ref pulled Charlotte back trying to give Becky a chance to get back into the match but while he was dealing with Charlotte, Natalya and Tamina were hitting Becky keeping her in the corner, Sweet Saraya looked to Paige and they quickly and silently came up with a plan to help Becky get free.
"Look they are having a silent conversation as we speak" said Cole.
"Well they need to come up with something Becky Lynch is being beaten down in the corner by Natalya and Tamina while Charlotte distracts the Ref" said JBL.
"Let's see what they come up with" said King.
Sweet Saraya tried to get in the ring while Paige left the Apron and headed under the ring and while Sweet Saraya was distracting both the ref and Charlotte, Paige came out from under the ring on the opposite side and firstly pulled Natalya off the Apron and hit her with a sharp kick to the mid-section knocking her to the floor seeing this Tamina tried to attack Paige only to get caught with a sharp Kick to the mid-section as well.
"Well theirs your answer King they pulled that off perfectly and Charlotte has no clue what has happened" said JBL.
"And neither does the Ref he never saw it" added Cole.
"Then they pulled of their plan successfully" said King.
Charlotte hadn't seen any of this happen and when she turned back towards Becky she was surprised to see both Paige and Becky standing there waiting for her to turn round, both of them caught Charlotte with a sharp kick at the same time and then followed that up with a Double Suplex Paige then rolled out the ring as Sweet Saraya finally left the ring and the ref turned back towards the action and saw Becky standing over a downed Charlotte and her partners were not on the Apron. Becky went to try and lock Charlotte in her Arm Bar submission but Charlotte managed to counter it into an inside cradle which Becky managed to kick out of after a 2 count.
"What a series of moves there and Becky managed to kick out at two after she was in control until Charlotte countered with that inside cradle" said JBL.
"Yeah but it was a timely counter for Charlotte" said King.
"I'll agree with that she needed to switch the momentum somehow" said Cole.
Charlotte complained to the referee about it being a slow count which gave Lynch a chance to get to the feet and she hit a Clothesline on Charlotte before tagging in Sweet Saraya. Sweet Saraya pulled Charlotte to her feet and delivered several Forearms before following that up with a Snap Suplex and floating over into a pin, only for Natalya to break the pin fall up as the Ref counted two. Natalya grabbed Sweet Saraya and delivered a Suplex to her before the Ref finally forced Natalya out the ring and Charlotte seeing this tried to take advantage and as Sweet Saraya started to get back to her feet Charlotte hit Natural Selection and went for the cover only for Paige to break it up and Deliver the Rampage to Charlotte and then she pulled Saraya on top of Charlotte and left the ring as the Ref began the count only for Tamina and Natalya to break it up, and Paige and Becky came running in and took down Tamina and Natalya.
"Wow several near falls so far in this match and the Ref is struggling to keep control of these 6 women" said King.
"Well why don't you go in there and help King?" asked Cole.
"Are you kidding I think they would hit me as well" said King.
"You are right their King" said JBL.
Paige and Becky both hit Brain Buster Suplex's to Tamina and Natalya before turning their attention to Charlotte who was in the corner being kicked in the gut by Sweet Saraya until Paige stopped her and the three of them all released a banshee like scream and Paige put her fist out and Becky and Sweet Saraya did the same and they touched fists.
"Oh my they are signalling for the Triple Power Bomb the Shields Finishing move" said JBL.
Becky and Sweet Saraya grabbed Charlotte and lifted her onto Paige's shoulders and they Triple Powerbombed her then Paige and Becky left the ring and went to keep Tamina and Natalya busy while Sweet Saraya covered Charlotte and got the three count.
"Here are your winners the team of the Knight Dynasty and the WWE Divas Champion Becky Lynch" said Lillian.
"What a great match that was" said JBL.
"Yeah it was very competitive and could have gone either way" said King.
""I bet Stephanie isn't very happy though she was hopping that Paige would have been on her own tonight and have ended up in a handicap match" said Cole.
The new Hounds of Justice
Half an hour later the Hall Of Fame logo appeared on the Titantron.
"Well it looks like we are going to find out who the first entry is into this year's WWE Hall Of Fame" said King.
"Yeah and if the back stage rumors are to be believed then this could be a huge announcement" said JBL.
The Titantron darkened and 'Who I Am' played out as the Titantron began showing highlights of Chyna's WWE Career and at the end of the highlights it revealed that Chyna was the first Entry into this year's WWE Hall Of Fame.
"There we go folks the First entry to the WWE Hall of Fame for this year is the 9th wonder of the world Chyna" said Michael Cole.
"Yeah and you have to say she deserves the accolade of entering the Hall Of Fame she is a former Intercontinental Champion, and has twice entered the WWE Royal Rumble" said JBL.
"She was truly a pioneer for the women of the WWE" said King.
The new Hounds of Justice
Meanwhile Back Stage AJ Lee was watching the announcement of Chyna entering the WWE Hall Of Fame.
"Wow I wish one day that could be me entering the WWE Hall Of Fame" said AJ to herself.
"Abigail" said a faint voice behind AJ as the lights flickered and dimmed.
AJ turned round towards the voice but there was nobody their then a burlap sack went over her head and someone began laughing and a faint light was heard being blown out.
The new Hounds of Justice
It was time for the Main Event of the evening and the Shield and the Hooligans were waiting at their Entrance points around the Arena and Lillian was ready in the ring waiting for her queue to announce the main event.
"The following contest is a 6 on 5 handicap tag team match scheduled for one fall introducing first at a combined weight of 713lbs D-Generation-X members The Road Dogg, Bad Ass Billy Gunn and X-Pac" said Lillian.
'Break it down' plays out as the three DX members made their way down to the ring.
"Well here we go it's time for the main event and let's see who if anyone has joined forces with the Shield for tonight?" said King.
"Well I know one team who it isn't?" said JBL.
"And who's that John?" asked Cole.
"The APA" said JBL.
"I will admit that that is one team up I would one day love to see" said King.
"And their Tag Team Partners from the Mean Streets of Greenwich Connecticut at a combined weight of 779lbs the Mean Street Posse" said Lillian.
'Mean Street' played out as the Mean Street Posse make their way to the ring.
"We have one full team in the ring and now it's time to see what the Shield are made of" said JBL.
"Now introducing their opponents first being accompanied by Paige at a combined weight of 707lbs the Shield
'Special Op' plays out as the four members of the Shield make their way to the ring.
"And their tag team partners" said Lillian.
'(You Gotta) Fight For You Right (To Party)' played out.
"At a combined weight of 391lbs Roy Knight and Zak Knight The Hooligans" said Lillian.
"I don't believe it the Shields Tag Partners are The Hooligans" said JBL.
"Yeah we saw these guys last night in the Royal Rumble eliminate Road Dogg and Billy Gunn despite not even being in the match" said King.
"Let's also remember King that Road Dogg was in the match but Billy Gunn wasn't an official entrant" said Cole.
"That's true Shane McMahon tried everything he could to make sure that a Member of the Shield didn't win the Rumble match last night, he even brought the Mean Street Posse back" said King.
"Yeah and thanks to me and Ron they were dealt with" said JBL.
"Everyone Shane hired failed though it was only because of AJ Styles that no Shield Members won the match since AJ eliminated Dean Ambrose to win the match" said King.
As the Shield and the Hooligans entered the ring they were attacked by D-X and the Posse Reigns, Ambrose and Rollins were attacked by D-X while Pete Gas and Joey Abs were attacking the Hooligans, which left Rodney to stalk after Paige.
"Come on Paige isn't even part of this matchup" said King.
The Ref tries to get Rodney away from Paige but everyone stops as 'Here Comes the Money' plays out and Shane McMahon comes out on to the Entrance ramp with a mic in hand and said. "You know Stephanie and I have been talking all night and well since tonight Paige you have had a family night we decided to give you one last surprise and that is that this match is now an intergender 12 person NO DQ Tag Team Match"
"I think Shane may have just made a mistake we have seen Paige step in the ring with other male wrestlers and beat them" said Cole.
"I'll tell you one thing for sure and that is that I would not want to be Rodney right now" said JBL.
Rodney grinned at hearing the match was now a no DQ match and moved towards Paige until he saw that she had an evil smirk on her face which caused Rodney to stop, seeing this Paige kicked him as hard as she could in the nuts then she pulled him to his feet and delivered a fall away slam. Once she got back to her feet after doing that she looked round to see how her teammates were doing, the Hooligans were in control of Pete Gas and Joey Abs, Reigns was in the corner with Road Dogg and was delivering repeated clotheslines to him, Ambrose was locked up with X-Pac and in control there, as Paige looked to Rollins he was in trouble Billy Gunn had him cornered and seemed to be in control of Seth Rollins. Billy was focusing on wearing Seth down and hadn't realised that Paige had already floored Rodney until she jumped on his back and placed him in a Sleeper Hold giving Seth some separation from Billy and Seth took full advantage by grabbing Billy Gunn's Head and driving his knee into it as he fell back onto the mat. While that was going on The Hooligans had tossed Pete Gas and Joey Abs out the ring and had followed them out there, Zak had Irish Whipped Joey Abs at the Ring Steps while Roy had tossed Pete Gas head first in the Barricade that protected the fans, then the two of them picked up Joey Abs and on the outside of the ring they hit one of their finishing moves the Samoan drop Back Cracker, Rodney was slowly getting back to his feet and had seen what had happened to Joey Abs and tried to get revenge only to be Double Powerbombed on the floor for his troubles.
"These two really are Hooligans I'm loving it" said JBL.
"I guess it brings back memories of things that you and Ron did back in the day" said Cole.
"Absolutely these guys are the new version of the APA and I'm sure Ron would agree with that" said JBL.
Pete Gas had seen what had happened to Rodney and Joey Abs and was angry so he tried to attack The Hooligans with a Double Clothesline only for the two of them to move out the way and instead they hit Pete Gas with a High Low double team before Roy Knight pulled the top off the Announce Table and then pulled out the three TV's then he climbed on to the Barricade as Zak set up Pete Gas for a Powerbomb through the Table but it soon became clear that The Hooligans were going for another of their signature Double Team manoeuvres as Roy leapt off the Barricade and hey delivered a Doomsday Device to Pete Gas which put him through the table. Meanwhile back in the ring Dean Ambrose had delivered Dirty Deeds to X-Pac, and Reigns had speared Road Dogg then the 4 Shield members touched fists before Roman howled, The Hooligans stood outside the ring watching as Roman Reigns stood in front of Road Dogg and Paige and Dean stood either side and lifted Road Dogg up onto Reign's Shoulders while Seth Waited for the right moment and as the Triple Powerbomb began Seth added to it with a Back Cracker, after the move Paige went and stood over X-Pac and released her Banshee like scream as Dean and Roman positioned X-Pac for an Electric Chair Drop Reigns and Ambrose stood either side of Paige and Seth was now leaning on the ropes waiting for the right time and as soon as the Electric Chair Drop started Seth rebounded of the ropes and Curb Stomped X-Pac before they let Paige go for the pin and the Ref counted 3.
"Here are your winners the Shield and the Hooligans" said Lillian.
"What a big win for the Shield you have to wonder what will the McMahons come up with next to try and do dame to the Shield" said King.
"I don't know King but it must be better that what they have tried so far otherwise they will not win this war" said Cole.
"I agree but who out there is strong enough to even attempt to stand up to the Shield" said JBL as Raw goes off the air and the Shield and the Hooligans head backstage.
AN 2: Ok so I guess it's obvious who abducted AJ Lee. Also I need some help to come up with names for the two finishing Moves used by the Shield as a Foursome the two moves are the Triple Powerbomb Back Cracker and the Electric Chair Drop Curb Stomp so if you have any suggestions please let me know.
