Finally the day of Payback has arrived. I've been nervous all weekend and arriving at All State Arena this morning my nerves have intensified. There is so much rising on this match, it could take my career to the next level, I just hope I can pull it off.
I arrive at the arena early to work on some spots for the match. I make my way to the ring and see everyone warming up. "Hey." I greet Saraya.
Saraya walks over. "You're here, we were getting worried." She mentions.
"Traffic."
"You ready?" She asks
"Yes, but I'm freaking out, I haven't been able to stop thinking about this match."
"Same here, but let's just try and have fun."
"I'll have fun it's just the what ifs you know."
After some practice I arrive at hair and make up where Amy has her station set up. "Hey champ." She greets.
"Hey, how are you?" I ask.
"Good, how are you feeling, nervous?"
"Yes, and I'm also a little worried I won't be able to pull this off."
"Serena, you always doubt yourself stop it, you're good, so stop convincing yourself you aren't."
"You're right."
"Now cheer up let's get you looking even more beautiful."
Once hair and make up is done I look at the finished product. My hair is in loose waves, and my make up is a little bolder tonight and I've added some gold gems in the corners of my eyes to add a bit of flare.
Next I find Sandra. "I'm here." I alert walking up to her.
"Just in time." Sandra greets pulling out something from a dress bag.
When I see what she has for me I'm speechless. "OMG Sandra!"
"Go try it on."
I quickly get changed and when I walk out I look at myself in the mirror and I hate to be vain but I look fucking good, and Sandra has outdone herself yet again.
I'm wearing black leather wrestling pants with cut outs up the front of my legs to show some skin. The top is a black crop top with gold studs. To finish off the look she has made me a small shield vest that looks just like the guys but it stops just a past where my crop top finishes.
"I look like I'm ready to fight." I express.
"Wow." a voice gasps. I turn around and see Saraya pop out from one of the change rooms. "You look smoking."
"I know it's not very Sarah like, but this is to go with me being in The Shield and it's just a different look."
"You look incredible."
I giggle. "Thanks."
"Feeling better from this morning?"
"Now that I've put this on, I want to go out there and kill it."
"And we will, we will show up those men."
About two hours later it's time for us to get ready for our match. I make my way to the guys and as I approach them I'll be walking out with them they turn there heads in my direction and I notice Colby's eyes go wide and he eyes me head to toe. "Wow." They gasp.
"Oh stop it." I joke. "So do I make a good honorary Shield member?" I ask twirling.
"Sure do." Colby answers.
"I like the vest." Jon compliments.
"I had to have it." I respond.
"You nervous?" Colby asks.
"Yes. I've been nervous all week but I'm just going to go out there and enjoy it."
"Good, but if you're nervous I have another pep talk ready."
"I'll keep that in mind."
"When you two are done flirting are you ready to go?" Jon asks ruining our moment.
I playfully turn my head and glare at him. "Yes."
He chuckles. "Good because the match before us just finished."
I suddenly go quiet. "Are you okay?" Colby asks me.
"Yeah it just got real."
"Don't over think it." he whispers. I nod and he takes my hand and squeezes it. "Hang close." I take his arm as the doors to entrance open and fans instantly start screaming as we walk out.
We walk out into the crowd and stand amongst the screaming fans. "The roof just blew off this place." Cole shouts.
"Here comes The Shield and the Divas Champion, Sarah." Jerry announces over the chaos.
"What a group." JBL admires.
We make our way down the steps and towards the barricade. We hop over it and make our way into the ring. I place my title down and we stand on one side of the ring and wait for Evolution to come out. "Evolution is making them wait." Cole mentions.
Evolutions music starts and they slowly walk out and stand at the top of the ramp. "And here they come." Jerry announces.
"This match is going to be an all-out war." Cole predicts as Evolution make there way down the ramp and slowly get in the ring. Their music dies and you can hear the loud roar of the crowd as we stand up to them face to face. "You can scrape the tension with a knife."
"The fans have waited long enough for this, it's time to fight." JBL says gleefully.
I stand a few feet from Paige who is looking me up and down. "Come on." I taunt.
"You first princess." she retorts.
"You asked for it." I smile and instantly stepping up to her.
"These woman are about to tare each other apart." Cole exclaims.
"Come on, show these people that you can hang in the ring with someone like me."
That seems to ignite something in her and she instantly delivers are hard right to my face that sets everyone off. "Here we go." JBL says excitedly.
Roman and Batista fight and they send it to the outside, Seth and Randy both fall out of the ring and continue to battle, and lastly Dean and Triple H go at it too. It's just Paige and I left the middle of the ring and we deliver punch after punch to each other and the crowd love it.
Paige goes to deliver another, but I duck and hit her with a hard forearm that knocks her off her feet and she rolls out of the ring. "What a shot by Sarah." Jerry exclaims.
I follow her out of the ring and wait for her to turn around. As she does I deliver a nasty close line. "Ooh." the crowd yells. "What a close line by the divas champion." JBL says loudly.
"The crowd love it." Cole alerts. I notice Seth by the ramp and he is starting to struggle, so I make my way over and stalk Randy from behind. "What's Sarah thinking?"
I run up behind him and deliver a kick to the back of his leg and he drops to his knees. Seth and I both start attacking him as he lays on the ground. "Seth and Sarah are teaming up." Jerry announces.
Randy is down and I see Dean is starting to be overpowered by Triple H. Seth and I get out of the ring and start stomping all over him. "The Shield seem to be dominating early." JBL mentions.
We hear a loud thud from the outside and Batista has closelined Roman. The guys bolt out of the ring and start to attack Batista as I help Roman up. "You okay." I ask him.
He nods and gets to his feet. "Watch out, watch out." the announcers shout as blur of black hair flies over the top rope and lands on top of us. "OMG." the crowd shout loudly. "Paige just took out The Shield with a cross body." Cole shouts.
Paige stands up and pulls me with her and throws me into the steel steps and the impact is deafening and the crowd boos loudly. "This is my house." she yells out.
The crowd boo as Evolution start to attack the guys. "Keep her down." Triple H orders.
I put my hand under the ring and search blindly for something under the ring and feel a round stick. I smirk as Paige walks over to me. As she goes to attack me, I rip the kendo stick out from under the ring and wack her across the leg. "Oh no, Sarah has a kendo stick." Cole announces as the crowd cheer loudly.
I wack Paige again and she falls to her knees. I hit her a again and stand up. I turn around and find Randy, Triple H and Batista circling me. "Oh my, Sarah doesn't want to be stuck there." Jerry alerts.
"Sarah better be careful."
"Where are The shield?" JBL asks.
"Oh wait, here they come." Jerry shouts as both Dean and Seth sprint into the ring, run the ropes and suicide dive onto the outside and take out all three. "And just like that Evolution has been taken out."
"You okay?" Seth asks concerned and a couple of the fans notice the exchange.
I smile. "Yeah, let's beat these guys."
I turn my attention back to Paige and she tackles me to the floor and starts unloading on me. We roll on top of each other and I separate myself from her and try to get to my feet. "This match is chaotic." Cole expresses.
"It sure is but I love it." JBL says as Paige sends me back first into the barricade.
"Agh." I shriek.
"Back first into the barricade, that's got to hurt." Jerry winces.
"Why don't you just give up." Paige taunts.
"Over my dead body." I growl.
She delivers more nasty kicks to my injured back and I squirm in pain. "Paige is decimating Sarah." JBL observes.
"Don't count Sarah out yet, she doesn't mind some pain." Jerry retorts.
Paige finishes kicking me and turns around and walks back to her team mates. I growl as I lean against the barricade. "I'm going to kill that bitch." I threaten.
Paige walks over to Randy and starts kicking Dean in the ribs as he is down. I slowly crawl towards the ring and flip the canvas up and search for anything that will be useful. "Sarah is looking under the ring." Cole observes.
I find the perfect weapon and keep it there for later. "What did she find?" Jerry wonders.
"Who knows, maybe something for a later." JBL answers.
I make it to my feet and see Triple H and Seth fighting on the ramp. "Seth Rollins and Triple H are battling it out on the ramp." Jerry announces.
Triple H sends Seth into the concrete and that makes my blood boil. "Did you see Sarah's face turn?" Cole asks.
"She didn't like Triple H throwing Seth into the concrete." JBL nods.
I slowly walk up the ramp and he turns around laughing. "Coming to save your team mate."
"I am actually."
"Is Sarah playing mind games with the game?" JBL chuckles.
"Sure looks like it." Jerry answers.
I start to walk up the ramp when I hear someone running up behind me. I quickly spin around and jump into a spinning heel kick and connect with Paige's face and she collapses to the floor. "OMG." the crowd shout. "Sarah just took out Paige with a spinning heel kick." Cole shouts.
"She did that with ease." JBL mentions.
"Triple H is shocked." Jerry adds.
Seth makes it back to his feet. "Hunter?" I call out.
"What?" He smirks.
"Don't turn around."
He gets knocked down by Seth and I walk up to him and he smiles at me. I stick my fist out and we bump fists and the crowd love it. We hear a loud roar come from the announce table and we see Roman spear Batista and the crowd explode once more. "Reigns with a nasty spear to Batista." Cole exclaims.
Roman goes to help Dean as Seth and I look at the carnage. "Not much action in the ring." I chuckle.
He smirks but it drops. "Look out." He warns.
I turn around and see Paige running at me, so I quickly pivot and deliver a super kick to Paige and she is flat on her back on the ramp. "Holy shit." the crowd exclaims. "Holy shit, holy shit." They chant.
"That was close." I say aloud.
"That almost took Paige's head off." Cole exclaims.
I turn back to Seth and we go and help Dean with Randy. We start unloading on him and he tries to get away up the ramp. Seth runs after him and goes to attack him, but Randy blocks the punch and delivers a knee to his gut. "Randy Orton is fighting back." Jerry announces.
Dean comes up behind him, but Randy moves out of the way and delivers punches to the back of Dean which makes Dean hover in pain at the top of the ramp. Triple H is now back to his feet and is fighting Seth and he helps take out Dean too.
I see Paige still out and I get Roman's attention. "Roman." I call out and he looks up and see's his teammates struggling and walks up the ramp. I slowly walk up the ramp and see Paige starting to move. I run and kick her in the ribs. "Sarah is not letting Paige move." Cole exclaims.
"That's smart." JBL approves.
I look to see all three Shield members and two members of Evolution up on the stage. I turn around and suddenly speared right off the stage onto tables and we crash through them. "OMG." everyone shouts. "Batista just speared Sarah off the stage." Jerry shouts.
"She isn't moving." JBL says worried.
"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit." the crowd shouts. "This is awesome, this is awesome, this is awesome."
The crowd boo as Batista starts to move and Dean, Seth and Roman look on wide eyed. "The Shield can't believe it." Jerry shouts.
The Shield immediately run down the ramp and start attacking Batista. Colby hovers above me and breaks character. "You okay?" he asks.
I nod "yeah."
"Sarah is out of it, she has to be done." Cole watches on worried.
Dean, Roman and Seth beat down Batista and bring him back to the ring. "Are we finally getting them in the ring?" Jerry asks.
"It looks like they want to eliminate the animal now." Cole observes as Dean and Seth pull Batista up and get ready for the triple power bomb. "Here comes the triple power bomb."
The boys lift Batista up and deliver the triple power bomb. "The Shield deliver a nasty triple powerbomb to Batista." JBL announces.
The crowd cheers as Dean covers Batista "1, 2, and 3." "Batista has been eliminated." Lillian announces and the crowd cheers.
I start to move and roll off the table and try to get my breath back. I hold my ribs which are hurting but I feel okay. "Oh thank god, Sarah is moving." Jerry observes.
Roman, Dean and Seth head back up the ramp where Hunter and Randy both are starting to move. "Evolution and Paige have no idea that Batista has been eliminated." Cole addresses.
I start to sit up and the crowd cheer. "Sarah is sitting up." JBL says shocked. "I don't know how she is."
Paige sees this and goes to take me out but I pick up a broken piece of wood and smack her across the head. "Sarah just clobbered Paige with a broken piece of wood." Jerry announces.
"That was on natural instinct." Cole mentions.
"I'm surprised she's moving." JBL admits.
I finally make it to my feet and see my teammates are struggling and have to find a way to get back in it. I start limping behind the stage and start to climb. Dean and Randy are punching each other hard, and suddenly Randy over powers and rams Dean into the lights of the titantron. "Ooh." the crowd shouts. "That's going to leave a mark." JBL winces.
I finally make it to the top of the titantron and wait. Paige joins her team and helps take down The Shield. "It looks like to me, Evolution didn't need Batista, they are taking down the rest of The Shield without him." Cole addresses. Seth, Dean and Roman are laid out. I watch as Triple H, Randy and Paige turn around I get ready to jump. "Wait where's Sarah?"
"Wait, what's that on the tron?" JBL asks as a figure is seen.
I stand up and suddenly jump into a cross body and take down Paige, Triple H and Randy "OMG, that was Sarah." Jerry shouts. "She just jumped off the titantron."
The crowd explode and I slowly stand up. "Come on." I yell out and the crowd cheer as I help up my teammates up.
"That woman will put her body on the line for her team." Cole exclaims.
"She never stops." JBL agrees.
"She's a champion, that's what champions do." Jerry finishes.
The boys start to drag the men back to the ring and I drag Paige down the ramp. "It looks like they want to finish this." Cole observes. I role Paige into the ring and the boys lay the men on the outside and it's officially a tag match. "They have finally made it to their corners."
The crowd cheer as Paige starts to make it to her feet looking at me wide eyed. She scurries to her corner but I pull on her leg and drag her back.
I wave at Evolution and start counting. "Wait hold on. Where's your other member?" I ask Evolution and the guys laugh. "Oh that's right, he got eliminated."
"You're done." Triple H threatens.
"Really, because I think we're going to call this a clean sweep." I retort and attack Paige. I wait for her to get up and run the ropes and deliver a neck breaker. I cover "1, 2." but she kicks out.
"Come on Paige." Randy yells angrily.
"You angry?" I mock and he glares at me.
I continue to attack Paige with elbows to her stomach. I pull her up and whip her into the corner and deliver a running knee. "Ouch." the announcers wince. "Sarah is absolutely dominating tonight." Cole exclaims.
"She's a fighter." Jerry praises.
I bring Paige to our corner and put my hand out for someone to tag. "Who wants in?" I ask them.
Dean pops his hand out and tags my hand and one of the guys of Evolution gets in. "Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton are tagged in." Jerry announces.
Dean and Randy charge at one another and we watch on as the two go to war. Suddenly Randy counters Dirty Deeds and delivers a snap suplex. He runs over to our corner and knocks us all off. Paige and Triple H laugh as they clap in approval. "That's it Randy." Paige cheers.
The crowd boo as I stay on the ground and the boys eventually make it to their feet and they aren't happy. Randy is currently decimating Dean when Dean delivers a kick out of knowwhere knocking them both down.
It suddenly gets chaotic and everyone attacks everyone. Paige helps keep Dean down, Hunter takes down Seth and Randy takes down Roman, it seems that all of Evolution are standing tall until I start to move and see my members down. "All members of The Shield are down, and Sarah is now moving." Cole notices.
I start to look for the sledgehammer and find it. I turn around so the guys in the ring can't see. I quickly pull it out and show it to the crowd "OMG." everyone gasps.
"Sarah has a sledgehammer." Jerry alerts.
I hide it behind my back in my pants and jump up on the apron. Evolution have their backs to me and I quickly climb to the top rope and stand tall. "Oh no, Evolution look out." JBL warns.
Evolution turn around and I jump and deliver a cross body taking them down. Paige and Hunter fall out of the ring and I bring the Sledgehammer out from my pants as I stand up. "Randy look out." Cole warns.
Randy starts to stir and makes it to his feet. I wait for him to turn around and hit him in the gut with the sledgehammer which makes him drop to his knees. I then step back a little and repeat the action but hitting him in the skull and he falls to the floor and the crowd cheers loudly. I quickly grab Dean who is the legal man and get him to cover Randy. "Sarah just took out Randy Orton with a sledgehammer and she's helping The Shield capitalize." Jerry exclaims. Dean slowly covers Randy "1, 2 and 3."
"Randy Orton has been eliminated." Lillian announces as Paige and Triple H are pissed off.
"Triple H and Paige can't believe it, it's four on two." JBL exclaims. I smirk as Triple H he gets out of the ring. Dean tags in Seth and he bolts into the ring picking up Triple H from the outside and tosses him into the ring. Seth runs the ropes and delivers a running drop kick. He covers "1, 2." but Triple H kicks out. "But The Game is still in it."
Seth goes back to attacking Triple H and Paige looks on worried. I send her a smirk and she growls. "Got something to say?" I yell out loudly.
My guys chuckle as I continue to play mind games with Paige. "Sarah seems to really be enjoy getting into the head of Paige." Cole notices.
"She sure does." Jerry agrees.
I blow her a kiss and that sets her off and she starts shouting at me. "Wow, she's crazy." I say aloud and some of fans laugh.
Seth and Triple H go at it and Seth gets the upper hand and has Triple H set up for the turnbuckle power bomb and delivers it to the corner. "Ooh." the crowd says as its delivered. "Surely that's it?" Jerry assumes.
Seth covers "1, 2." but Hunter kicks out. "Don't count The Game out yet." JBL defends.
Seth gets up and starts to deliver knees to Hunters back one after the other. "Come on Seth." I cheer.
Seth pulls him up and whips him into the corner but as he is about to squish him, he delivers a kick to Seth's face. "This may be Triple H's chance to tag in Paige." Cole announces.
"Come on Seth." Dean and I cheer. Seth crawls to our corner as does Triple H, and tags me in and at the same time Paige does to.
I charge at Paige and duck her close line, run the ropes and deliver a close line of my own. She hops back up but I take her down again. I pull her up and place her into a chin lock but she gets to her feet and rams me into the ropes which makes me release.
Paige runs the ropes and I don't move quick enough and she spears me through the middle rope and we both land hard on the floor and unfortunately I land on the back of my neck. "OMG." the arena explodes. "Sarah just landed on her neck." Cole shouts.
Referees immediately come over to me as I hold my neck. "Sarah." they shout.
I start to move my legs and I don't feel any pain. "I'm fine." I reassure.
"Oh thank god, Sarah's moving, that didn't look good, she's clutching her neck and that is the same way she fell when she injured it." Jerry reminds everyone.
"She seems to be okay, I mean she's moving." JBL says watching on worried.
Paige gets up and smirks down at me. "Finish her." Triple H orders.
Paige picks me up and rolls me back in the ring. "Paige is using this as an advantage, Sarah is finished." Cole predicts.
Paige covers me "1, 2 and" on the last second I lift my foot up onto the bottom rope just before the ref hits three. "OMG." the arena explodes. "Sarah just put her leg up in time." Jerry shouts.
"This is awesome, this is awesome, this is awesome." the crowd chant. "I can't believe Sarah kicked out." JBL exclaims.
I roll over to my corner and Seth tags in and Paige immediately backs away as Triple H comes charging in at him. Seth ducks down and uses his speed to take Triple H down with a shoulder tackle, followed by another. Triple H goes to take him down but Seth catches him and tosses him over his head. "Seth is just throwing Triple H around." Cole exclaims.
I start to sit up and Jon leans down. "You okay?" he asks. I nod.
"Dean Ambrose checking in on his teammate." Jerry notices.
"That was a crazy fall, I can't believe she's still in this." JBL admits.
Triple H takes control and takes down Seth. I turn my head slightly and see the sledgehammer on the ground. I hop down and quickly pick it up. "What's Sarah doing and how is she standing?" Cole wonders.
"Hey, watch her." Paige points out.
I drop the sledgehammer and stand up. "What?" Triple H asks.
"She has the sledgehammer."
Triple H turns to face me but I don't eye him straight away. I slowly turn to face him and smirk. Something sets him off and he runs at me but I punch him in the face and he stumbles. Seth tags in Roman and he picks him up and delivers a Samoan drop. "Samoan drop by the big man." Cole announces. Roman lets out a mighty roar and waits for Triple H to get to his feet. "Roman is measuring up his Spear."
Triple H goes to turn around but Paige goes to stand in the way. I jump from the top rope and take Paige out just as Roman hits the spear. "Sarah took out Paige." Jerry shouts as Roman quickly covers. "1, 2 and 3." "Triple H is done."
"Triple H has been eliminated." Lillian announces.
The crowd explode as it's only Paige left. "Paige is on her own, surrounded by The Shield." Cole alerts.
"This is what they said they would do, the last person left is who they wanted." JBL relays.
I roll Paige back in the ring and she scurries to move away but bumps into large set of legs. She looks up and it's Roman. "Paige is surrounded." Jerry exclaims.
I climb in the ring and Paige scurries back and hits another set of legs and she looks up and it's Dean. She scurries away again and hits another and looks up and see's Seth smirking down at her. She shrieks crawling backwards and I'm standing behind her. "Uh oh, the champ is ready and waiting." Cole alerts.
Paige slowly looks up at me and jumps back. "Nightie night." I taunt and grab her by the hair.
She tries to wriggle out of my grasp as I have a tight grip and pull her up into a fireman's carry. "Sarah is looking to deliver The Back Attack." JBL announces. I quickly deliver a rough Back Attack and the impact is heard throughout the arena. "That was one hell of a Back Attack."
I quickly cover. "1, 2 and 3." and the crowd erupt on their feet. I slowly stand and the crowd gets louder as the three men in the ring lift me up. "Here are your winners, The Shield and the Divas Champion, Sarah." Lillian announces and the crowd explodes once more.
The guys lower me down and I hold my neck. "That was a brutal match, and most of the action was by the ladies." Cole expresses.
"They sure know how to steel the show." JBL adds.
We all stand in the ring and put our fists out together as a unit. "Believe in The Shield." Roman exclaims and the crowd cheers.
Once backstage we are greeted by praise from our peers. "That was insane." Nikki squeals running up to me.
I laugh wincing. "Careful."
"You took some narly bumps girl." Trinity adds.
"I sure did." I agree.
"Great match, you all did great." Vince says making his way over.
"Thank you sir."
He turns to me. "Now that was a nasty bump to the neck, go get checked out immediately."
I nod. "Yes sir."
"I'll help her." Colby offers.
Once I'm checked out by the doc I'm given the all clear but I'm encouraged to rest tonight and put some heat pads on my neck to loosen up my neck. "You did amazing." Colby congratulates.
"Thanks."
"That bump on the outside of the ring made my heart sink."
"I think everyone was a little worried."
"But besides that, you were incredible."
"Thanks, you didn't do not so bad yourself." I retort.
He grins. "It's a good thing that it worked, as we'll be working together much more now."
I smile. "Aren't you lucky."
"Someone's full of themselves."
I laugh. "Are you celebrating with everyone tonight?"
He nods. "Yeah."
"Have a fun night."
"What will you be doing?"
"Sleeping."
He chuckles. "Wise decision."
In my hotel room I have showered, put on my pj's and wrap a towel around my head. I hear a knock at my door. I answer it and I find Colby behind it. "Colby?" I ask shocked.
"I didn't want you to be by yourself tonight, so I brought some movies and drinks." he says letting himself in.
"What happened to you going out tonight?" I ask shyly and a little embarrassed at my appearance.
"I was about to go, but I couldn't stop thinking about you being here all by yourself whilst everyone else is out celebrating, so I decided to come to you."
My heart flutters. "You didn't have to."
"Well to bad, I'm here and not leaving." he responds and walks past me. "Cute pjs."
I cover myself up. "I wasn't expecting anyone."
"Well I'm here so you're stuck with me." he grins and crashes on my bed. "So are you going to join me?" he asks. I smile and walk over to the bed and he offers me a beer. I accept and clink my bottle with his. "Cheers."
I smile. "What movies did you bring then?"
