Sunday: Wrestlemania 32
They were at the arena. Karen was a bit over whelmed with the hustle and bustle that was Wrestlemania Day. It was everything she thought it would be and more. Seth and Charla had been in and out most of the day as a documentary crew was following Seth's journey during his recovery. Karen could tell this was difficult for Seth but Charla was by his side every step of the way. Roman had went out ring side to go over his match with Triple H. Karen had ventured to catering in search of some water. When she notice Shane sitting at a table with three young boys wearing matching Shane McMahon shirts. She couldn't help but smile watching their interaction as he was just so good with them as she grabbed a bottle of water and was heading back to the locker. When she noticed Shane waving her over.
"Me?" She asked herself walking over waving hoping she was the one he was trying to get the attention of so she didn't look ridiculous.
"HI Karen." He smiled offering the chair next to him. "Please join us."
"Oh that's alright I see you are enjoying time with your boys." She smiled.
"It's cool right boys? Karen can sit with us?" He asked.
The boys smiled and all shook their heads yes. As Karen sat down.
"Well thank you." She smiled.
"Boys this is Karen. Karen these are my boys Declan, Kenyon and Rogan." Shane smiled introducing her to all three of his sons.
"Hello Declan, Kenyon and Rogan." She smiled as they all said HI to her as well. "So this is pretty awesome right being here at Wrestlemania."
"It kicks total butt." Declan Shane's oldest son said.
"Yeah it does it's so awesome." Kenyon the middle son said.
"This is my first time here." Rogan his youngest son added.
"You want to hear a secrete." She smiled leaning in to all three boys. As they smiled and said yes. "This is my first time here at Wrestlemania too."
"It is really?" Rogan giggled.
"Yep really really! It's so awesome. I am having so much fun" Karen smiled.
As Shane watched her interact with his boys. He couldn't help it but his crush on this young brown eyed brown hair beauty was growing. When he leaned over and asked Declan something as he smiled glancing at Karen and shook his head yes.
"Why do I get the feeling they are talking about me?" She giggled leaning in to Rogan.
"I think so too." Rogan giggled.
"Well Declan and I had a crazy idea." Shane smiled placing his arm on the back of Karen's chair like it was the most natural thing.
"Oh really? Shane with a crazy idea? Never." She laughed. Her comment making Shane and the boys chuckle.
"How would you like to sit ring side for my match tonight with the boys." Shane smiled looking into her eyes.
"Wait you're serious? Ring side to watch you battle Taker in Hell in a Cell?" She said in disbelief.
"Yeah we are gonna sit down there with my Grandma come sit with us." Rogan smiled.
"Ring side seat." Shane smiled.
"Heck yeah I'll sit ring side." She smiled. "I mean if that is OK with you three boys? Don't want to crash your party?" She asked looking at all three boys.
Each boy smiled as Shane winked at them but Karen didn't notice as her focus was on them when they all agreed she should sit ring side with them.
Roman and Dean were heading back to the locker room.
"My match is gonna suck." Dean grumbled plopping down on the couch in the locker room.
"Will it really be that bad?" Roman asked.
"Dude no one fucking listens to me. Brock could care less and we had a conference call about blocking the match. Doubt the dude is even here yet." Dean complained. "Vince couldn't even listen to me. He keeps saying it will be good but I just don't see how."
"It will be bro. You'll go out there and give it your all and make this street fight your bitch." Roman chuckled.
"Yeah Thanks Man. I sure hope so. I already looked like an idiot with that little red wagon bit." Dean said rolling his eyes.
"Hey man Karen already talked to you about that. You were the most bad ass you could be with that." Roman smiled.
Dean chuckled. "She really does see the best in everything doesn't she? Where is she?" He asked looking around.
"Not sure maybe with Charla? Or hopefully she finally went to catering to grab something to eat. She is just so shy." Roman said.
"She really is but I think she's starting to come out of her shell a bit. So did you two ya know seal the deal?" Dean asked wiggling his eye brows up and down.
"No we didn't. Not like it's any of your business." Roman said to his friend.
"Dude what is the hold up. You've stayed at her place once and you've shared a hotel room for the last several days and nothing?" Dean asked.
"We've made out a bit."
"That's it? Bro you are losing your touch. Uce can't seal the deal?" Dean questioned.
"Look it's just not that simple with Karen alright. I do like her and believe me I want too but I just can't pressure her. It's different this time alright." Roman said.
"Alright I get it. OK no I don't get it because dude you invited her all the way to Dallas so I guess I figured Sex was gonna be involved. I mean what is she a virgin or something." Dean laughed at his own joke taking a drink of his water as he glance up at Roman.
Roman shook his head and closed his eyes not saying anything at his friends joke
"Dude No fucking way." Dean said choking on his water laughed.
"Bro drop it." Roman stated.
Dean was laughing at his shock. "Uce you're serious? She's 28 man."
"I know. I didn't believe it at first either. I thought she meant she didn't sleep with random dudes not that she's never slept with anyone."
"WOW she's like a unicorn." Dean blurted out.
"What?" Roman said shaking his head at his friend again.
"Well I was gonna say big foot but that would have seemed like a fat joke." He chuckled. "WOW I mean Uce WOW" Dean said.
"Dean you can't say anything about this at all. You aren't even suppose to know." Roman said. "So don't say shit or I will spear you so damn hard."
"Wouldn't be the first time." Dean said.
Later that night: Wrestlemania was in full swing.
Roman and Karen watched Dean's match on the monitor his arm around her.
"I can tell he's not very happy." Karen said softly to Roman.
"Yeah it's not the story he wanted to tell." Roman told her.
"I know. It seems Brock just doesn't give a shit which isn't fair to Dean at all." Karen said with a touch of anger in her voice.
"I know." He said.
"I mean come on like that crap." She said pointing to the monitor. "Why is he getting another damn suplex. We get it Brock it's suplex city move the hell on." She said even more annoyed.
Roman watched her loving how she cared so much about his friend. It just showed the kind of sweet caring person she is.
After Brock got the pin and they came back stage the Women's title match was next.
"That was bull shit." Dean growled.
"You sold it well bro." Roman said.
"Yeah thanks. But still a bunch of bull crap."
"Well I liked how you tried to kiss that barb wire bat. Did it kiss back?" Karen said trying to lighten the mood.
"I've had better." Dean chuckled. "You really are a unicorn aren't you?" Dean asked hugging his new friend.
"What?" Karen asked confused as Roman smacked Dean in the back of the head.
"OWE son of a bitch. Uce I was just in a street fight." He laughed walking away.
"What was that about?" She asked still confused.
"Nothing baby girl nothing." Roman said.
When Shane's boys ran up to Karen Shane close behind.
"Hey Karen you ready? My dad's match is next and the security guard is gonna walk us down to the ring." Declan smiled so excited.
"Yeah it's gonna be great. But you'll be careful right dad?" Rogan asked with concern.
"Karen?" Roman asked a tad confused.
"Remember I told you I was gonna sit ring side for Shane's match then for yours too." Karen said.
"Oh right. I guess I didn't realize you meant with his kids." Roman said not really sure why this was bothering him.
"Yeah they asked when I met them in catering and I figured it would be fun and more eyes on the kids too. I mean all those people I wouldn't want them to get hurt or lost." Karen said.
"You are just so sweet always looking out for others." He said. "Well I guess I am gonna get my ring gear on and warm up for my match."
"Good luck tonight." She said.
"Thanks Baby Girl. I will see you before my match." He said kissing her forehead before walking away.
"Is he your boyfriend?" Kenyon asked in a little girly voice.
Karen chuckled at the young boy but didn't know how to answer because yes her and Roman had went on several dates at this point they were sharing a hotel room this weekend. They have made out a few times but Roman has never once asked or called her girlfriend.
"Hey so how would you guys like to come out with me?" Shane asked his three boys bending down to their level.
"Like out there for the entrance?" Declan asked.
"Going down the ramp?" Kenyon smiled.
"Yeah all of that?" Shane smiled winking at Karen.
"Heck yes." Declan said as the other two smiled and agreed. "Wait how do we get back here?" He asked.
"We'll go down the ramp for the entrance then I will drop you off with Karen ring side." Shane smiled at Karen.
"Really? This is gonna be awesome." Kenyon said.
"You are gonna have so much fun." Karen smiled loving how excited the boys were for this moment.
"Hey how come you aren't wearing one of my dads shirts?" Rogan asked. As Karen was just wearing a nice silky red tank top blouse with a cute pair of jeans.
"Because your dad didn't give me one." She chuckled then pretended to be sad.
"Dad lame." Declan said.
When Shane chuckled as he then whispered something to one of the runners.
"Grandma!" Rogan said hugging Shane's mom.
"Shane you be careful out there. Do you hear me." Linda McMahon said to her son hugging him.
"Always mom." Shane said in the hug. "Mom this is Karen she is gonna sit with you and the boys tonight if that's alright?"
"Oh that's perfect. You are so pretty." Linda smiled.
"HI Mrs. McMahon and thank you." Karen said shaking her hand.
"Oh goodness it's Linda. You must be the teacher Shane was telling me about. You're friends with Roman." Linda said.
"Yes Ma'm that's me. WWE came to my school a few months ago for Be A Star and then I was invited to Mania and who would say no to that." Karen smiled at the woman.
Linda winked at Shane. "Of course the shows of shows."
"Good just in time." Shane smiled as he looked at Karen and handed her the jersey like shirt.
Karen smiled and put it on but didn't button it.
"Better boys?" Karen smiled making a dorky little pose.
"WAY BETTER! Now you can hang with the McMahon's." Kenyon stated.
Making them all laughed as Shane just stared at her beauty.
Linda and Karen were walked down ring side. Karen stood there in awe of this site it was now full of people. Dean and Roman had walked her down their earlier but the stadium was empty. It was wall to wall people and full of noise.
"Hope you're ready for this." Linda said.
"Ready as I will ever be I guess." Karen smiled.
When "Here comes the money" started to play Shane came out first and did his Shane O Mac shuffle which always made Karen smiled. As the fans were cheering for him and even more so when his three boys in their McMahon swag came out and Declan and Kenyon were all about it cheering with the fans getting them hyped. While Rogan was a little more shy and stayed close to Shane as they came down the ramp. When the got to the ring Shane walked his boys to the side and their was a security guard there as Shane lifted each boy one at a time over the barricade to Karen and Linda.
"Be careful and good luck." Karen whispered to him not ever sure he heard her.
"Don't worry brown eyes I've got this." He said with a wink as he softly grabbed her hand.
Karen bit her lip as she felt those butterflies again. "No stop. That didn't mean anything." She told herself with so many thoughts and emotions flooding her heart and mind as she watched Shane enter the cell. After the Undertaker made his entrance the match started. Karen, Linda and the three young boys were cheering Shane on as he took on the dead man. With each hard bump Shane took Karen cringed ring side. They boys watched each movement of both men. When Shane got the upper hand and set up for the coast to coast.
"COME ON DAD! YOU CAN DO IT!" Declan yelled.
"DAD! Come on Dad." Kenyon yelled.
"DAD!" Rogan yelled as he sat on Karen's lap at this point. "He wont get hurt right?" He asked her.
"He knows what he's doing sweetie. I am sure he'll be careful." Karen told the young boy hoping she was right as she felt herself nervous for him.
As they watched Shane deliver the coast to coast. The crowd cheered. Shane went for the cover and Taker kicked out at two.
"No. Dang it." Karen said softly.
As Shane was looking around and then looked at the top of the cell. He went under the ring and got out bolt cutters and started to cut part of the cell.
"He is out of his damn mind." Karen blurted out making Linda laughed.
"Shane is his father's son." Linda said as they watched Shane.
The match continued when the panel to the cell came crashing down with both men on it.
"DAD COME ON." the boys continued to cheer.
As the match was now being fought outside the ring and the cell. When Taker when for the tombstone Shane countered with a sleeper hold. As they both went through one of the announcers tables.
They all watched on hearing the reactions of the crowd. Declan and Kenyon as close as they could get to the barricade watching their father's every move. Shane finally got the upper hand on Taker as he laid there motionless on the table. Shane looked up at the top of the cell and started to climb.
"SHANE NO!" Karen yelled.
"DAD!" Rogan yelled holding Karen close.
"What is he doing?" Karen said freaking out. "He wont."
"I just he might?" Linda said as they watched Shane climb the cell.
Shane stood at the top of the cell looking down at Taker.
The boys watched him none of them saying a work as Declan and Kenyon moved closer to Linda and Karen as they all watched on holding their breathe. As Shane crossed himself doing the Holy Trinity.
Karen held close to Rogan and touched Kenyon's back as they all watched Shane fall the 20 feet from the top of the cell and crash into the announcers table where Taker laid no longer as he moved out of the way at the last minute. "
"Damn it Shane." Karen mumbled trying to keep her emotions in check for the three young boys.
"DAD!" The all screamed.
"He is OK Karen? Is my dad hurt?" Rogan asked covering his face into Karen.
Karen didn't know what do say to him as she watched and saw Shane out of it but moving.
"I am sure he'll be fine sweetie." Karen said trying to sooth him.
"I can't believe my dad just did that!" Declan said.
"THAT WAS NUTS!" Kenyon said.
As the match continued both Shane and The Undertaker at their end. Taker gave Shane one final tombstone pile driver for the win.
Karen sat there still in disbelief as to what just happened as the medical team came out and put Shane on a back board.
"DAD!" Declan said getting ready to go over the barricade.
"Buddy. It's OK wait here and then I will take you back to see him OK?" Karen told the oldest McMahon son. He just nodded.
"Yeah boys. Let them do their job then we will take you back there." Linda agreed.
As Shane was taken backstage the gave the crowd a few thumbs up.
Karen held the Rogan and Kenyon's hands as they went back stage. By the time they got back there Shane was up moving around. He had a moment with his father Vince as they hugged and he told him that he was so very proud of him.
"Dad!" The boys yelled as Declan and Kenyon ran up to him and gave him a big hug. "Are you OK? That was NUTS!"
"I am fine boys just swore that's all." He said.
"Are you sure?" Karen asked.
"Of course. Did I scared you?" He asked trying not to chuckle.
"No! Well yes that was insane." Karen said as Rogan was still holding on to her. "Sweetie it's alright you can go hug him." Karen said to the youngest McMahon.
"I just don't want to hurt him." He whispered to her.
Karen bent down to his level. "I know you don't sweetie but do you know what the best medicine is?"
"What?" He said softly looking at her.
"Hugs. I bet you're dad would really like a hug from you." She said.
As Rogan smiled and walked up and gave Shane a hug. Then the other two joined in for a big group hug which melted Karen's heart.
It was now time for the Main Event.
"Good Luck and please be careful out there." Karen said to Roman as he pulled her into a hug.
"I am always careful baby girl." Roman leaned down and gave her the sweetest kiss on the lips.
Karen went back to ring side where Hunter's Mom , Linda and all the kids were now sitting including Vaughn , Aurora and Murphy. Triple H and Stephanie's kids.
"You made it back." Kenyon smiled.
"I sure did buddy. Are you ready for the main event?" She smiled as them.
"Yeah but I think Uncle Paul is gonna beat Roman." Kenyon said.
"He's my dad of course he is going to win." Vaughn said to her cousin.
Karen smiled at their interactions.
As Roman made his way down to the ring he looked down at Karen and winked. The match started and it was a lot of back and fourth give and take. The kids rooting for Triple H to win the match and keep the title.
"Come on Roman! You've got this!" She yelled as they were now fighting outside the ring.
"We don't want him to win Karen." Declan laughed at her.
"Well what if I want him to win?" Karen smiled back.
"But what about my Uncle Paul?" Kenyon said.
"I guess they both can't win huh?" She said.
"Nope doesn't work like that." Kenyon laughed.
When Roman speared Triple H through one of the barricades. Karen watched on hoping Roman was alright.
"Roman! Come on!" She said to herself. "Don't give up! You've got this."
When Roman went for the pin and ref counted 1 , 2. Stephanie pulled the referee out of the way. The girls cheered for their Mom.
"Come ON!" Karen growled. "Roman you've got!" She said.
As they watched on Stephanie handed Triple H the sledge hammer after she rolled out of the ring following the spear Roman had given to her accidentally. Roman finally got the upper hand and speared Triple H one more time for the three count and the win.
"HERE IS YOUR WINNER AND THE NEW WWE WORLD HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION ROMAN REIGNS!" Lillian announced as he was handed the title there were a mixture of cheers and boos through out the stadium as Roman celebrated with is title held high.
Once backstage Karen smiled seeing Roman so happy with the title many greeted him and congratulated him on his win.
"There she is." Roman smiled pulling her into a hug.
"You did! Champ! You earned it no matter what anyone tells you that was a hard fought win." She smiled. When Roman looked into her eyes softly touched her face and pulled her into a deep passionate kiss. Taken Karen by surprise.
"I had to win. My girlfriend was ring side!" He stated pulling her into another passionate kiss.
"Girlfriend. Roman Reigns just called me his girlfriend." Karen thought as she wrapped her arms around the big strong Samoan man.
