The next night on RAW everyone could tell that Siren's mood, had went from a small storm to a raging tempest. As she came into the arena, tech and crew members immediately moved out of her way as she walked to the locker room.
After changing into her ring gear she scoured the halls for the two-toned traitor, wanting to plant his head into the concrete with another DDT. After an hour of looking and asking everyone she came across, she realized that The Authority must be keeping Seth under lockdown. Which on their part was smart, as in the last 24 hours, Seth had managed to piss off quite a few people who now wanted his head on a silver platter.
The show kicked off in Memphis with Dean Ambrose and Siren making their way to the ring, much to the delight of the fans who voiced their approval.
"I'm not dead." Dean announced, both he and Siren smirking as the crowd cheered.
"Far from it. In fact, the WWE's ugly stepchild is back. Ever since what happened to me the last time you saw me, I've been a little messed up in the head. I've been a little loopy. I've been replaying the incident over and over in my mind, again and again. And the more I think about it, I can appreciate the creativity of ganging up on me, two on one, and stomping my head through the cinder blocks, it was pretty cool. Yeah. In fact, let's take a look at it again. Let's take a look at it one more time. Just for me."
"Seriously, Dean?" Siren said turning her back to the screen, she didn't need to watch it again, she could still see it vividly in her mind.
Dean rubbed his neck as if he could feel it happening to him all over again. "There it was. I got to admit, I'm kind of flattered that The Authority would go to such great lengths to get rid of me, it kinda makes me feel special. But I'm not dead. I'm not satisfied and I can hold a grudge! And I'm sick of The Authority protecting that little golden child Seth Rollins. I'm kind of getting sick of The Authority all together. So, tonight, I am The Authority and I am not leaving this ring until I get my hands on Seth Rollins, because I never get tired of punching Seth Rollins in the face."
Dean throws the mic down and rolls out of the ring, grabbing a steel chair and tossing it over the ropes. Rolling back in he opens the chair and sits down in it, smirking he looks up at Siren and pats his knee. Rolling her eyes good-naturedly Siren walks over and sits down on Dean's knee, however the crowd cheers as he picks her up and sits her sideways on his lap.
She drapes her arm around his neck as they wait for The Authority to come out and remove the two of them. However the music that comes on is someone else entirely, and it makes Siren cock an eyebrow as she glances at Dean.
John Cena walks down to the ring, rolling in he nods to Siren and Ambrose, as the two stand up from the chair. He walks over and picks up a mic, pacing around the ring, anger radiating off of him in waves.
"I'm gonna be real honest with you here, John." Dean says picking up the chair and folding it, before kicking it out of the ring. "I really, really am bothered. I really don't like the fact that you're standing in the ring with me right now. You're flying real close to a flame here, brother. John, don't give me a reason to not like you."
Siren steps between the two men, "Alright boys. Let's put the big sticks away, there's enough room here for us all. And I have a feeling Deano, you're gonna wanna hear what John has to say."
John smirks in response to her, "Ah, Mr. Ambrose. Mr. Ambrose, what an unfortunate turn of events. You see, you and I, we have a very similar agenda. Seth Rollins did his best to try to take you out, but last night at Night of Champions, I had Brock Lesnar beat! I was the one to beat the one, until that selfish, slimy, close-minded rubber suit-wearing jackass showed up."
"Right." Dean nodded, he couldn't argue with that point.
"I should be holding the WWE championship right now. But I'm not. So, tonight, I'm cashing in. I'm cashing in my ass kicking in a bank contract on Seth Rollins! And no one is gonna stop me."
Dean laughs, which by now everyone knows is a bad thing, as he places his hand on John's shoulder, which John immediately slaps off. "I warned you once. Don't get in my way."
In response John takes off his hat and shirt, tossing them into the crowd, then he removes his dog tags, before kissing them and handing them to Siren. In response to that, Dean removes his leather jacket. Siren leans back against the turnbuckle watching the two men hose down the ring with testosterone. But anything that was going to erupt between the two was put on hold, as Triple H's music booed throughout the arena, signaling the COO's forthcoming.
The Authority strolls out onto the stage, Triple H, Stephanie, Kane, Randy Orton, and bringing up the rear like a scolded dog was Seth Rollins.
"Relax, before you two break into a pinch fight over something that you have no control over." Triple H informs the men. "You both wanna fight Seth Rollins, but that's not gonna happen tonight. Seth Rollins won't be fighting anybody. You two will. So, tonight…"
"No, no, no. Tonight, I'm just gonna go get him myself." John says before he tosses down the mic and jumps down out of the ring.
He's followed immediately by Ambrose, the two men rushing The Authority members. Seth rushes into the ring to escape, but forgets that Siren is in there, until she bounces off of the ropes and slams him to the mat with a sling-blade. Rolling out of the ring quickly he tries to escape through the crowd, but Dean is close on his heels, chasing the cowardly man out through the crowd and into the backstage area. John and Siren follow closely behind the two men, all three of them landing shots to Seth at every opening.
It's a pure melee in the back as crates and boxes are tossed and knocked over, as the two superstars and diva fight one another for a shot at the traitorous man. Siren manages to land several punches and kicks to Seth's stomach, she's not pulling them either, so she's hoping he'll have some bruises in the morning.
They chase Seth into the parking garage where he tosses a superstar onto the ground, and steals the running car, flooring it out of the arena. John, Dean and Siren stood, all of them breathing heavy as they looked at one another.
Back in the arena The Authority informs Kane that he's going one on one with Ambrose, and Randy would be taking on Cena. Neither Kane nor Randy are thrilled about having to clean up Seth's mess.
Randy voices his displeasure to Triple H and Stephanie, "Tell uh, Mr. Money In the Bank, stop starting fires that we have to put out."
Siren was fuming as she walked around backstage, she had never been so angry with someone as she was with Seth right now. Getting her hands on him, even just a few shots had given her such a sense of pleasure it was kind of scary. She was convinced now that she and Colby were a lost cause, the further they all went with this storyline, the harder it was coming back from it.
And even if they could get over things, it was clear that Stephanie would never let them be together.
Siren walked beside Dean to the ring, both of them calmed down, but still fuming from earlier in the night. Siren kept a vigilant eye on the crowd and ramp, she knew Seth would be back, and chances were he would interfere in Dean or John's match.
And that's when he would get what was coming to him.
But at least Dean got to take out his frustrations on one of the men that tried to end his career.
Just as Siren expected though, as Dean hit "Dirty Deeds" on Kane and went for the cover, none other than Seth Rollins ran to the ring and started a beat down on Dean. Siren went to climb into the ring to aide Dean, but she was caught by Kane who pinned her arms behind her back, holding her in place. She could only watch as Seth grabbed a steel chair and brought it into the ring.
But Ambrose managed to avoid the chair shot, instead clotheslining Rollins over the top rope. But as he went to suicide dive through the ropes, Kane tossed Siren into the barricade, and then hit Dean with a punch, knocking him back into the ring. Kane followed him in and delivered a choke-slam to Dean, before walking back up the ramp.
Seth however paused a quarter of the way up the ramp, turning back he glowered at Dean and Siren, who had climbed back into the ring to check on her friend. Seth walked purposely back to the ring, climbing up onto the ring apron, but he paused as Dean rolled to his knees, grabbing the steel chair that was lying next to him.
Fearing for his safety, Seth retreated back up the ramp, smirking as though he had gotten the best of his former friends.
Backstage Kane and Seth were walking and talking when they were stopped by Triple H, Siren and Dean could see them on the big screen talking.
"That was awesome right?" Seth tells Hunter.
"It all worked out just fine, but here's your problem, dude. You need to stop putting – setting these fires, man."
"What are you…"
"You just need to stop doing it."
"What do you want from me?" Seth asks.
"Listen. People are getting tired around here. Look out. Look out." Triple H yells seconds before Dean plows into Rollins, taking him to the ground.
Dean is ripped off of Seth by Kane and security, all the while he's screaming at Seth. "I thought you were done. I thought you were done."
Security picks Dean up to remove him from the building, but Stephanie tells them not to. Instead they lock Dean in a janitors closet, the lunatic pounding on the door from the inside. Stephanie explains to her husband that if they throw him out, he'll just come right back, at least locked in the room, they have him under control.
Siren is pitching things and cursing as she walks around backstage, she can't believe that The Authority had the audacity to lock Dean up. And more so that they keep protecting Seth. Well, she would prove to them soon, that they can't protect him all the time.
Siren cursed as she and John walked out onto the stage, her eyes finding the black table that housed the cinder blocks sitting beside the timekeeper's area. She and John saluted the crowd before they ran down and slid into the ring with Orton, their eyes warily watching Seth and Kane who were ringside.
The match got underway between Cena and Orton, Siren on the opposite side keeping her eyes locked on Rollins and Kane. Siren laughs as the crowd starts chanting, "Let's go, Cena" and "Cena Sucks", John jumping around the ring as it pumped him up.
For 6 minutes the two men tore into each other in the ring, eventually it spilled out to the outside. Randy slamming John into the steel steps and then slamming him back first off of the top of the announcer's table. The fight is then taken back into the ring, Siren still watching Kane and Rollins, who so far had not interfered in the match. But she knew it was only an amount of time before they got involved.
After a DDT to John off of the top rope, Randy coils as he prepares for the RKO. But John catches him in a drop toe hold, locking in the STFU looking for the submission win. But the match is called on a disqualification as Kane and Seth rush into the ring, beating down on John alongside Orton. John tries to fight back, but the three on one assault proves to be too much for him, as Kane plants Cena with a choke slam.
They roll John out of the ring, Seth screaming for them to take John over to the cinder blocks for the curb stomp. Siren runs over to interfere, but she's beaten to the punch as Kane lifts the black table up revealing Ambrose of all people. The lunatic jumps up and immediately tackles Seth onto the announcer's table, fighting off Kane and Orton along the way.
Kane manages to shove Dean up onto the announcer's table, but Dean retaliates, jumping off and tackling all three men to the ground where he proceeds to pummel Seth. He picks Seth up and tosses him back into the ring, as he enters the ropes Seth nails him sending him back first into the ropes. But that was a mistake for Rollins as Dean uses the ropes as leverage for a vicious clothesline, that sends Rollins into a full backflip before he hits the canvas face first.
Kane climbs into the ring grabbing Ambrose by the throat looking for a choke slam, but he's deterred by Cena who slams into him, causing him to release the lunatic fringe. John and Dean then take out Kane and Orton as Seth runs like a scalded dog out through the crowd. Siren climbs into the ring with the two men, all three of them staring down Rollins as RAW goes off the air.
