It's been a few weeks since the trial and I finally feel like a weight has been lifted, I can focus on living my life now. It's the final raw before Battleground and I've enjoyed the feud between AJ and Sarah. The fans are massively behind AJ as I have been attacking her for the last few weeks and the fans are really wanting me to get some comeuppance.

I arrive at the arena in Philly and make my way to the locker room and find April, Nicole and Saraya talking. "Hi lovelies." I greet them.

"Hey girl, hows you're week been?" Saraya asks.

"Good, but I missed Colby."

They send me amused grins. "Been separated this week I take it?" Nicole questions.

"Yeah we had different schedules last week, but we'll have the whole week together this week."

"How is it going with you two?" April asks.

"Really good, I'm happy."

"You look it." Saraya smiles.

I smile. "Thanks. I think it's finally worked out for me. For once the thing that I wished for happened and I'm excited to see what's next."

"We're happy for you girl." Nikki expresses.

"Thanks."

April and I walk to Mark and Janes office and outside we find Colby, Jon, and Paul. Jon notices me and nudges Colby who turns his head and spots me. He smiles and I blush. "Hi guys." April greets as we arrive next to them.

"Hey, we were just about to head in." Paul informs us.

"Good." April responds and follows Jon and Paul inside.

Colby and I stand outside to have a moment. "Hi." I greet as he pulls me into a hug.

"Hi." He greets whispering in my ear and kisses the top of my head. "How was your week?"

I look up and face him. "Good but I missed you."

He smirks. "Did you really?"

"Don't let that go to your head, you missed me too."

He laughs and pulls me into another hug. "I did. You ready?"

"Yeah let's find out what we are doing."

"So tonight the show will begin with The Authority coming out and advertising Battleground." Paul starts off. "This will lead into a fight with AJ and Dean attacking Seth and Sarah, which will set up the match for the mainevent with Dean Ambrose and AJ teaming up to take on Seth and Sarah, in a mixed tag match, with Dean and AJ winning by DQ."

"Mixed tag?" I question.

"The fans have been wanting to see Seth and Sarah wrestle together for a while now, so we are giving them what they want." Stephanie responds. "It's also something different as well as combining both of the feuds which will hopefully bring in a bigger draw for the last hour of the show."

"Do you want April or I getting involved in any thing with the guys?"

"We wouldn't mind seeing you guys work something out." Paul responds.

I turn to glance at April and she's smiling. "I think I have some ideas."

I make my way to hair and make up where I find Amy waiting for me. "Hey girl." I greet.

"Hey, what are we doing today?" She asks.

"I was thinking maybe some loose curls and a bold smokey eye."

"Sounds good, let's get started."

Once she's finished I thank her and get changed into my first outfit for the night. A black halter top with black high waisted skinny jeans with knee high boots.

Once I'm ready I venture towards catering where I find Jon, Renee, Joe and Colby sitting around one of the tables. I walk up behind them which Joe sees and I creep up behind Colby and yell "Hey."

Colby jumps startled and everyone laughs. He glares at everyone and turns around to face me. "That was not cool." He grumbles but I can see a smile forming on his face as he eyes me up and down.

"Think of it as payback for when you do that to me."

"She got you good bro." Jon chuckles.

"Shut up." He growls and we continue laughing as I take a seat on his lap. He smirks and playfully tries to push me off. "There is a perfectly good chair over there." He gestures next to Renee.

I smirk. "I prefer this one." He grins and starts rubbing his thumb over my thigh.

"Are you excited about the match tonight?" Joe asks.

I nod. "I am. I think we are going to leave everyone wanting more."

"True." Jon agrees.

"Nervous?" Renee asks.

"Always."

"We better head to gorilla." Colby alerts.

"Let's go."

Colby and I walk a little behind and he pulls me to his side. "You look smoking." He whispers in my ear.

I laugh and peer up at him with a smirk. "Why thank you."

"Meet me in my locker room later?"

I grin. "Maybe."

He growls and pulls me towards him. "I'd watch it babe."

"Or what?"

His eyes go dark. "You'll see."

We arrive at gorilla and are given the signal to get ready. A countdown begins and piro blasts and The Authorities music turns on and the crowd erupts.

The crowd boo loudly as The Authority walks out and stands at the top of the ramp. Triple H and Stephanie lead as Seth and myself stand next to them with Kane and Randy following behind.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, The Authority." Justin introduces and the crowd boo louder and we take it in.

"What a powerful group." JBL expresses.

"Oh stop." Jerry pleads.

We walk down the ramp laughing and slowly make our way to the ring. Triple H and Stephanie enter first, followed by Randy and Kane, and lastly Seth holds open the ropes for me and I climb in.

We grab mikes and Stephanie is about to speak when the crowd boo loudly but she laughs it off. "Welcome everybody to Monday Night Raw." She says excitedly. "We are just six days away from Battleground."

"We have some exciting matches happening but one in particular is going to steal the show." Triple h continues. "This Sunday we will see AJ Lee try one more time to dethrone the queen of the divas division, the Divas Champion, Sarah." The crowd cheer in excitement and I frown at their reaction. "Which to no surprise will be a quick fix with Sarah finishing off AJ once and for all."

The crowd boo loudly and I laugh as I step forward but the crowd boo thunderously. I glare and go to speak but they chant "you sold out, you sold out."

"Are you still saying that?" I mumble and they boo loudly as The Authority laugh. "This Sunday like always, I will walk into Battleground as champion, and I'll walk out as champion, case closed." I declare. "AJ Lee really believes that she can beat me." I continue and start laughing and the crowd boo. "That's actually really sad, I hate to break it to her, she can't and she never will."

I'm about to speak when AJs music blasts and the crowd erupts into cheers as I flip my attention to the ramp and wait for her to come out but she doesn't.

The Authority look around frantically as the crowd begins to die down. All of a sudden a figure is seen running from my left and before I blink the figure jumps onto the top rope and delivers a cross body and takes me down.

The Authority look on in shock as the figure ends up being AJ and the crowd erupt. "OMG AJ has attacked the champion." JBL shouts.

"About time." Cole exclaims.

AJ lays into me with punches and Seth goes to pull her off of me when another figure comes running down the ramp and the crowd erupt as Dean Ambrose charges into the ring dodging Kane and Randy and takes down Seth with a thes pres and the crowd cheer louder.

They roll out of the ring and I finally have my sight and roll out of the ring before AJ tackles me. Stephanie and Hunter help me up as I glare at AJ as she stands tall in the ring. Seth has broken away from Dean and meets us at the bottom of the ramp and we hold each other up. We are not happy and we stare down both Dean and AJ. "Seth and Sarah aren't happy." Jerry notices.

"Dean and AJ have just made the biggest mistake." JBL warns.

Triple H grabs a mike. "It looks like you two can't wait until Sunday." Triple H addresses. "I was going to give you two the night off, but you two just pissed us off." He exclaims. "AJ, Dean, you better find a way to coexist, because you have yourself a tag match." Triple h announces and the crowd cheer.

"Dean and AJ a team? Against who?" Cole wonders.

"You'll be versing the team of Mr Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins." He announces and the crowd get loud in anticipation. "And the Divas Champion, Sarah."

The crowd erupt as Triple finishes and the roof has exploded. "The roof just blew off." Jerry shouts.

Stephanie smirks as she pats our shoulders. Seth and I turn to look at each other and smirk. "Those smirks. They don't mean good. Dean and AJ might not even make it to Sunday." Cole worries as we make our way up the ramp.

After our segment I have a while before I have to change into my gear so I make my way to the locker room to find Nikki and Saraya watching the show. "Hey hot segment." Saraya praises.

"Thanks, the announcement blew the roof off, who new that Seth and Sarah were such a want."

"The fans do love the chemistry between you too, and they've been talking about it since you were in apart of The Shield too. They are just excited to see what you two can do together." Nikki responds.

"Are you taking any bumps from Dean?" Nikki asks.

"I'm not answering any questions, you'll have to tune into the match to find out." I tease.

After a while I go in search of Colby. I find his dressing room and knock on his door. "Come in." He invites.

I open the door and find Colby sitting on the couch on his phone and he's shirtless. "Well hi." I greet eyeing him up and down as I step inside and I'm instantly turned on.

He grins placing his phone down. "I wasn't expecting to see you for a bit."

I smirk. "Same, but then I remembered something, you told me something earlier and I'm a little bored so I came here to find you, and what do you know here you are sitting on the couch looking hot, and I'm a little horny." I flirt and his eyes go dark as I slowly straddle him and he leans further into the couch and I place my hands on his shoulders. "It would be a crime to let something like that linger don't you think?"

He eyes me darkly. "Well whatever my girl wants she gets." He grins and I smirk and slowly start to lean in. "We're going to have to be quick."

"I think I can keep up, but I'm getting more of you later."

"You'll always have me."

I smile shyly and he grabs my chin and pulls me towards him. Just as we are about to to kiss a knock is heard at the door. "Bro you in." Jon's voice yells. We both growl as Jon enters and laughs finding us in this position. "Am I'm inturupting?"

"Fuck off." Colby growls.

"Sorry man I just needed to talk to you."

I sigh frustrated. "It's ok." He huffs annoyed. "Later."

I climb off of him and walk past Jon not before I whack him across the head. "Ouch." He winces.

"Good, you deserved that."

"How was I supposed to know you were in there."

I roll my eyes. "Next time text him." I suggest as I turn back to face Colby. "See you soon."

It's finally time for me to change into my gear. Tonight I have a velvet purple and black crop top and shorts, which has four joining parts connecting from the shorts to the top, making it look like a bodysuit.

Once dressed I quickly touch up my hair and make up and grab some water. As I make my to gorilla someone roughly pulls me to the side by my wrist and I wince as they pull me into a dark corridor.

I immediately notice the tattoos and I'm angry. "Let go of me." I growl.

"Just calm down." Randy orders.

"No, no, I will not calm down." I argue. "Who do you think you are, pulling me away like that, who even does that? Stay the fuck away from me."

Randy eyes me darkly. "I'm sick and tired of this."

"Good, because I'm sick and tired of you." I retort. "If you come near me again when I'm alone, I'm filing fucking charges, now fuck off." I growl storming off ripping my hand out of his grip wincing.

I get away from Randy when I bump into someone. "Sorry." I apologise looking up and I realise it's Colby.

"Hey what's wrong?" He ask immediately seeing me upset.

"Randy." I alert. "He just grabbed me roughly and pulled me into a dark hallway."

Colby's eyes go wide. "He what?"

"I was walking to gorilla and he just grabbed me from out of nowhere and he, he scared me."

"Did he hurt you?"

"He grabbed my wrist and it hurts." I answer.

He carefully grabs my wrist and I wince. He slowly lets it go. "Let's go to Paul." he suggests and I nod. "Sorry I wasn't there."

"You can't always be."

"From now on I will be." He promises.

I smile and I lean into him. "Thank you."

We find Steph and Paul talking to Vince at one of the screens in gorilla. Colby and I walk up to them and Steph notices my demeanour. "Hey are you okay?" She asks.

"Can I talk to you please?" I ask her quietly.

She nods. "Of course. Come with me." We walk to a quiet corner as Colby informs Paul what's happened. "What's happened?"

"Randy grabbed me earlier, rather roughly and pulled me into a dark corridor." I explain holding my wrist wincing.

"Did he hurt you?" She asks assessing my wrist and starts to feel around and I wince and she can see a faint hand print on my left wrist.

"My wrist hurts."

"Are you going to be okay?" She asks assessing it further and frowns when she sees some more bruising.

"He scared me."

"You were alone?"

I nod. "I was on my way here and was yanked out of my path. I thought this was over."

"So did we. We'll handle this, but will you be able to wrestle tonight?"

"I will."

"Just stay close to us tonight ok."

I get back to the gorilla with Steph when Paul walks up to me. "We will fix this." He promises and carefully grabs my hand. I wince as he feels around it. "It's looks like it's just bruised but take it easy out there and ice it tonight ok."

"I will." I respond and Colby comes back to my side.

"You two ready?" Steph asks.

We both nod just as Randy makes it to gorilla and we all turn to face him. He stops in his tracks seeing Paul, Steph, Colby and I all standing together.

We hear The Authority's music start, he just got lucky. Steph sends me a warm smile and grabs Pauls hand as they walk out and the crowd boo. Once they are in the ring Colby's music starts. "Let's kill it." He suggests.

I grin. "Dont we always though." I retort and he chuckles and gets into character and walks out and the crowd boo loudly as he makes his way down the ramp. April appears next to me and caresses my arm. "You heard?"

She nods as does Jon. "Don't worry, we won't let him come near you again." Jon promises.

"Thanks Jon."

I walk out with my title on my shoulder and smirk as the crowd boo loudly. "And his partner, from Seattle Washington, she is the Divas Champion, Sarah." Justin introduces.

I grin as I make my way down to the ring and find Seth sitting on the corner turnbuckle. "This should be interesting, Seth and Sarah worked well together when they feuded with Evolution, I can't wait to see them team together, the crowd certainly want to see it too." Cole addresses.

"I want to know what type of mood they are in, because earlier tonight they were both attacked by their opponents, so if I was Dean Ambrose or AJ Lee I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of whatever they have planned." JBL warns. I climb in the ring and meet up with Seth as he hops down and pulls me towards him and the fan girls in the crowd aww at the moment. "What a couple."

We stay in the corner and share a moment when AJ's music starts and we both turn to face the ramp as she skips out to a loud reaction from the fans. She makes her way down the ramp and stops. Dean's music hits and the crowd explode. "And here comes the lunatic fringe." Jerry announces.

Dean meets with AJ at the end of the ramp and they both enter the ring as Seth and I immediate roll out of the ring and the crowd boo. Dean laughs and points at both of us. "You two are done."

"Good luck." I retort.

Deans music dies and the crowd take in the moment. AJ and Dean go to their corner and Seth and I cautiously get back in the ring and we stand across from each other waiting to see who steps forward.

AJ steps forward and points to me. "Let's go sell out." She urges.

I gasp as the crowd cheer. "How dare you." I shriek and go to charge at her but Seth catches me.

"Hey, Hey, dont let her get to you." He advises as Dean and AJ laugh at my state. I calm down and Seth slowly puts me down and I look into his eyes. "Do you trust me?"

I nod immediately. "Yeah."

"Let me handle this." Seth turns around and glares at AJ. "You don't ever talk to my girlfriend like that."

"Seth Rollins defending his lady." JBL says watching on.

"What are you going to do about it Rollins?" AJ questions.

Seth is about to respond when Dean jumps and charges at Seth and takes him down. This causes the crowd to erupt into cheers and for me to get distracted and AJ copies the action and takes me down with a thes pres. "And it's begun." Cole exclaims.

I roll out of the ring and get my breath as the crowd boo me. "You're going to regret that." I shout.

"Sarah is not happy." JBL notices. "She isn't having the best night tonight."

"Same with Seth." Jerry points out as Seth and I regroup.

"Stick to the plan." Seth reminds me. I nod and we slowly make our way around the ring as Dean and AJ stand tall laughing.

We walk around to the ramp and we slowly climb up onto the apron. As we do this Kane and Randy both walk to the other sides of the ring on the outside and AJ and Dean are surrounded.

The crowd get restless as they don't like what they see. "It looks like Seth and Sarah always have a plan." JBL laughs.

"The numbers game, how original." Cole scoffs.

We stand on the ring apron as AJ and Dean look around franticly as Stephanie and Triple H look on happy. AJ and Dean both share a look and nod. They suddenly run the ropes and charge at Seth and I spearing us off the apron and Seth and I land hard on the floor.

They quickly get out of the ring and AJ grabs me and starts unloading punches on me as Dean grabs a dazed Seth and rolls him back in the ring and starts unloading on him. "Dean and AJ just took out Seth and Sarah, they now have the upper hand." Jerry exclaims.

AJ pulls me up off the floor and points to the barricade and the crowd cheer loudly. "Oh no Sarah is in trouble." JBL worries.

AJ winds me up and whips me into the barricade and as I land, I land on my left arm and I let out a loud scream as the crowd cheer loudly. "Oh." The announces wince. "That sounded painful."

Unfortunately that scream wasn't for show. April bends over me covering my face with her hair. "You ok?" She whispers.

"My wrist." I answer quickly.

AJ pulls me up again and I hold my left arm. "Sarah looks to be in pain." Cole notices.

AJ drags me towards the time keepers area and points. The crowd cheer again. "Oh no, not again." JBL worries.

AJ winds me up and throws me into the barricade back first. "Agh." I screech and collapse to the floor.

"It looks like Sarah is out of it." Jerry observes as I fall to the side holding my left arm.

Back in the ring Dean and Seth have gone back and forth but Dean has started to take control. "Poor Seth he hasn't even had a chance to block anything." JBL worries.

"Poor Seth." Cole scoffs. "He deserves it."

"Deserves what, being attacked as his girlfriend is hurt ringside?"

AJ goes to her corner and the crowd cheers loudly for Dean. "It's been all Dean Ambrose and AJ Lee." Jerry announces.

"It has."

Stephanie comes over to me and bends down. "You okay?" She whispers.

I shake my head. "No."

"Sarah looks to be seriously hurt. She hasn't stopped clutching her arm since she hit the barricade." JBL observes. I start to stir and slowly sit up and try to get up by moving my arm but it hurts but i fight through it. Stephanie helps me up. "What a woman, Stephanie McMahon checking on her protégée ."

I make my way to the corner and start to climb up fighting through the pain and the crowd give a mixed reaction. "Sarah is on her feet, that's a good sign." Cole observes.

"You forget behind that nasty attitude is a strong woman that fights back and doesn't quit." Jerry reminds everyone.

Seth finally has an opening and starts to fight back and the crowd give a loud mixed reaction. "Come on Seth." I cheer. That seems to ignite some fire in him and he takes down Dean with a drop kick. He gets back up and starts unloading on him finally getting some retribution from the spear off the ring apron. "That's it babe."

He turns to face me and winks and goes back to Dean and placing him in a submission hold to slow him down. "Seth Rollins with a submission hold. Great tactic by Mr Money in the Bank, keep the lunatic grounded." JBL praises.

The crowd start to cheer Dean on and that gives Dean some momentum and he slowly gets to his feet and elbows Seth in the stomach. Dean runs the ropes and delivers a close line. He runs the opposite rope and delivers a quick elbow drop. He covers "1,2." but Seth kicks out. "First cover of the match." Cole announces.

Dean and Seth get up and run the opposite ropes but when they meet back in the middle they collide with eachother and crash to the mat. They both look to their corners and are on opposite sides of where they need to be. AJ starts clapping and cheering loudly to egg Dean on and I see my opportunity.

I quickly hop down and run around the ring whilst signalling to Kane to distract the referee. "What's Sarah doing?" Cole wonders. "Oh wait, Corporate Kane is on the ring apron."

The ref sees this and turns his back so I get to AJs corner and as Dean is about to tag her, I pull her off the apron with my good arm and she hits her head on the side of the ring apron and crashes to the outside. "Ooh." The crowd echo and start booing and I start laughing as make my way back to my corner. "Brilliant." Stephanie claps in approval.

"Of course The Authority approve." Jerry says disdain.

I get back to my corner and Seth is now close enough so I tag myself in. Seth rolls out of the ring and Dean now realises his partner is not standing. He slowly stands and turns to face me and I smirk. "Deans supposed to get out now." Cole mentions.

"But his partner isn't moving." JBL points out.

Dean slowly stumbles and we stand opposite each other. We start to circle each other and I am now where his corner is. "Mixed tag rules, the divas fight the divas and the men fight the men." Jerry reminds everyone.

The crowd start to get loud as they take in Dean and I standing opposite each other. "Dean isn't go to fight Sarah is he?" JBL wonders.

AJ starts to stir and the crowd make some noise. I notice this and turn my head. "What do you say Ambrose?" I yell out.

He smirks. "You want to go?"

"Are we going to see this?" Cole asks.

I nod and we slowly circle one another. I circle back to my corner and out of my peripheral vision I see Seth starting to crawl around in front of the announcers desk.

"Alright Ambrose lets do this." I accept and slowly perpare to lock up and the crowd get antsy.

Seth is now on his feet using the apron to stand waiting for my signal. Ambrose and I step closer to another and I'm now looking up at him. "You really want to do this?" Dean questions.

"I've been wanting to do this for a while." I respond and I raise my hand to slap him but he catches it.

I gasp. "Shit."

"Oh my, Ambrose stoped Sarah from slapping him." JBL worries.

Seth sees red and jumps up on the apron, then onto the top rope and takes down Ambrose with a flying knee. "OMG." The crowd shout. "Seth just took out Ambrose out of no where." Jerry exclaims.

"He touched his girl, he saw red." JBL responds.

Seth turns to face me concerned. "You ok?"

"Yes."

He grins and as we we are about to have a moment Seth shouts. "Look out!"

I turn around and AJ jumps off the top corner but Seth pushes me out of the way and AJ takes him down and the crowd erupt into cheers. I look on in shock but quickly shake it off when out the corner of my eye Dean is getting to his feet. Not to be outdone by my opponent, I quickly run the ropes and as Dean turns around I fly through the middle rope and suicide dive on top of him and he catches me as we hit the floor, but as we land I bump my left wrist again and I let out another scream in pain. "Sarah just took out Ambrose but that may have done more damage to her than Dean." Cole addresses as the crowd erupt into cheers as the match has just picked up.

I roll off of Dean and Jon whispers. "You ok?"

"No. We need to finish." I whisper.

I hold my arm in pain and slowly start to get up. "How is Sarah on her feet? I think she's really hurt." JBL looks on worried.

I stumble to my feet and roll back into the ring. As I get back in the ring AJ runs the ropes and delivers a Shining Wizard to my face. "Shining Wizard to the face." Cole shouts.

AJ covers me "1, 2 and " just as before the 3, Seth pulls AJ out of the ring right in front of the ref. Kane and Randy see that Dean is on his feet and take him down to which causes the disqualification. "That's just great. Just as AJ was about to win, The Authority stoop in and save the day." Jerry scoffs.

Kane and Randy start to double team Dean but he over powers Randy and takes him down. Dean then turns around and Kane is setting up for a choke slam. He walks right into one but as he lifts him up, Dean jumps up onto the apron and kicks Kane in the mid section making him let go. Dean quickly enters the ring, runs the ropes and takes down Kane with a suicide dive.

"Suicide dive by Ambrose." Cole announces as the crowd cheer..

Seth and Stephanie help me up and I hiss in pain. "We need to get you checked." Stephanie alerts.

"Okay."

Triple H joins us on the ramp as Dean joins AJ back in the ring. "Guys, AJ was so close to pinning Sarah, if she does that on Sunday we'll have a new champion." Jerry expresses.

We all turn to face AJ and Dean. "Seth and Sarah have had a bad night." Cole mentions.

"Lets hope that on Sunday, Sarah heals up or has a plan because she's going into Battleground injured, and AJ is definitely going to be targeting that." JBL finishes.

Once I'm back through the curtain I hold my arm in pain. "Let's see." Paul says.

I flinch as he takes it and starts feeling it. "I think it's sprained. But I'm sending you to the doctor tomorrow. If it's a sprain we can work with that, if it's not, we may have to cancel the match Sunday."

"No." I argue.

"Hey, calm down babe." Colby urges.

I take a breath. "I'll be fine. It's not broken, it's been argivated."

"The doctor will be the judge of that. But for now go back to the hotel and RICE."

"I'll make sure she does." Colby assures.

"Good. Let us know how the appointment goes tomorrow. Now if you excuse me, I have someone to confront."

At the hotel Colby gets me another ice pack. "You worried me." He says getting me comfortable.

"I was worried." I admit. "But I'm fine I promise. I would know if it was broken and it isn't." I assure. "The ice is helping. I just want to be well enough for Sunday and then I can focus on resting."

"I'm sorry we didn't get to spend some time together today."

"It comes with the job sometimes."

"True."

"How about I run you a bath?"

"That's sounds good." I answer yawning.

"I'll go and turn it on, I'll call you when it's ready."

"Sounds good." I accept.

"I'll be back." He responds and enters the bathroom.

As I lay in bed, the pain meds I have taken and the adrenaline I had has worn off and I feel myself starting to drift off to sleep so I shut my eyes and I dose off.
