On Monday morning they flew in for RAW, the group smiling at their co-workers as they passed them. They knew it would be a rough night for them all, because rumor had it the big boss would be making an appearance that night.
Tasha however was as giddy as a schoolgirl as she stood in the parking garage, Colby chuckling as she bounced on the balls of her feet. She was waiting for the truck that was carrying her SOA bike and in her opinion, it was taking forever. Renee and Jon joined them just as the truck was backing up to the dock to unload.
"Dang, I wish I had a bike so that I could ride with you." Renee commented. She had gotten her motorcycle license a year ago, but hadn't found the bike that she wanted just yet.
"Well, my lovely adopted sister, I have a special surprise for you." Tasha said with a grin as the driver got out and opened the back door of the trailer.
All of them were surprised to see both of Tasha's SOA bikes in the back of the trailer. She grabbed one of them, while the driver took the other and wheeled them onto the dock.
"I had both of them shipped to me, so now you and I can ride together." Tasha told Renee.
The blonde screamed in glee as she hugged Tasha, then she settled onto the seat of the season one Dyna. "I feel like I'm sitting on a piece of history. This is so fucking cool!"
"You look so sexy on that bike, babe." Jon commented, eyeing his girlfriend with lust.
"You both look sexy," Colby said looking at both women. "Ain't we a couple of lucky fucks, huh bro?"
"Yes we are." Jon laughed as he high-fived Colby.
"Alright, let's take 'em over to the rig and put them in the back." Tasha said as she and Renee started up the Dyna's.
They rode them over to the rig, Colby lowered the ramp and opened the back door. The girls loaded the bikes up and after thanking the truck driver they headed back inside to get ready.
Monday Night RAW kicked off with none other than Mr. McMahon leading Stephanie and Triple H down to the ring. They stood down there plugging the WWE Network and the upcoming Survivor Series. Vince went on to brag about all of his accomplishments he had made over the years.
Then he made an announcement that had everyone backstage dropping their mouths in awe. If Team Authority loses at Survivor Series, that they will no longer be in charge or have any power.
As Vince, Hunter and Stephanie climb out of the ring, out comes two people that have been a constant thorn in The Authority's side. Dean Ambrose and Siren walk down to the ring, smiling as they pass the trio.
"Welcome back." Dean says holding his hand out to Vince, who takes it with a smile and shakes it.
Siren smiles as she hugs Vince, the man placing a kiss onto her cheek in return, and giving her a wink that only she noticed.
Vince then patted Dean on the back before walking out of the arena with Stephanie and Hunter.
Dean and Siren climbed into the ring and awaited his opponent, a man who is a glutton for punishment, that had already lost to Dean several times, Cesaro.
As the match got started the two men took the fight to one another, Cesaro clearly irritated with losing to Dean on Smackdown. Halfway through the match with Dean gaining the upper hand, the lights went out in the arena. When they came back up Siren was staring at Bray Wyatt sitting in his rocking chair at the top of the stage.
"Oh, this is so not good." She said to herself as she turned her focus back to the match. She kept a close eye on Bray who seemed intent just to sit in his chair and watch the match.
The mere presence of Bray seems to enrage Dean as he again takes the fight to Cesaro, his punches even more vicious than before. Dean launches Cesaro out of the ring, then bounces himself off of the ropes and suicide dives, taking out Cesaro. Dean stares up at Bray who in turn starts laughing, which is as unnerving to Siren as it is to Dean.
Ambrose grabs Cesaro and rolls him back into the ring, less than a minute later Dean plants Cesaro with "Dirty Deeds" to take the pinfall.
Dean stands in the ring staring down Bray, but as he goes to climb out of the ring, the lights again go out, when they come back up, Bray is gone, only his chair remains.
Backstage Siren shakes her head as she and Dean walk back finding Bray standing by the curtain. "You are one creepy motherfucker, Bray."
Bray chuckles as he wraps an arm around her shoulders, "Why, thank you, little one. You say the nicest things."
Both Siren and Dean shake their heads as he walks off, the two of them knocking fists with the Uso's as they head out for their match. Siren walks back to the locker room, finding Seth sitting on the sofa watching the show.
"Hey, baby." He said as she flopped down on the couch beside him.
"Hey."
Seth put his arm around her shoulders and hugged her into his side, pressing a kiss to the side of her head. "So, do we have you to thank for Vince's bombshell?"
She chuckled, "I wish I could take credit for that, but no. That was all him. But I'm pretty sure Stephanie thinks I had something to do with it. So, I'm prepared for whatever backlash she throws at me."
"Arg, I can't wait until Vince and Hunter's plan takes effect. I'm tired of sneaking around, not being able to be with you. I miss looking across the ring and seeing you standing there on my side."
"Yeah, me too. I'm sure it won't be anytime soon, and I'm positive somebody will have to be screwed over in the process. But, I'm willing to do whatever I have to, to be with you."
"Same here." He assured her.
"We better get going, we're up next." Siren said as she stood up from the couch.
Seth nodded as he stood up and pulled on his shirt, grabbing his briefcase he took Siren's hand and together they headed up to gorilla.
Kissing Siren he gritted his teeth as he watched her loop Dolph's IC title around her waist and fasten it. "Do you really have to wear that?"
Siren smirked alongside Dolph, "The fans love it."
"Seth Rollins hates it."
"And that's exactly why we do it." She laughed, tipping up on her toes to kiss Seth's lips. "And it's really cute when you refer to yourself in the third person."
Seth shook his head smiling as she walked over to the curtain, his attention turning to Dolph who still stood beside him.
"Look, man, I just want you to know, we're just friends. I would never step on your toes like that, Colby. I'm really glad you two are back together." Dolph said, holding out his hand.
Seth took his hand, shaking it. "Thanks, man. You ready to lose that title?"
Dolph laughed, "Not on your life golden boy. You can have your girl, but this baby is mine."
The crowd cheered as Siren once again came out onto the stage, sporting Dolph's Intercontinental title around her waist. Smiling as she took Dolph's hand, the two walked down to the ring and climbed inside to wait his opponent.
But as Triple H's music came on, Siren grimaced as she turned to Dolph. "Oh, this is so not good."
The Authority consisting of Triple H, Stephanie, Seth Rollins, Kane and J&J Security came out and walked down to the ring. Dolph and Siren already knew what was going to happen, but they played off their shock well for the fans.
"Well, you all heard my father's announcement." Stephanie said as The Authority stood in the ring, Seth smirking over at Siren, who rolled her eyes in return.
"And I just want you to know that Triple H and I are ecstatic about this opportunity. You know why? Because we're winners. You know, unlike most people who are afraid to stand up for what they believe in, to fight for their rights, to pin their hopes and dreams on false idols like John Cena and by most people of course, I mean, all of you. We're winners. And that's why at Survivor Series, we're going to put together the strongest Survivor Series team in history under the leadership of Mr. Money In the Bank, Seth Rollins and his teammate, Kane."
Triple H leans down to whisper in his wife's ear, she nods before making another announcement. "And of course, their partner, "The Viper" Randy Orton."
This proclamation makes Siren laugh, The Authority eyeing her as if she knows something that they don't… which she just so happen did.
"Now Dolph, here's the thing, all right?" Triple H says picking up where his wife left off. "We're not naïve, we hear what everybody is saying, and we hear the rumors, okay? And sure a lot of people think that we are petty enough to punish those that might wanna team with John Cena, that might wanna oppose The Authority. And frankly you standing out here with Siren, doesn't help your case very much.
They think that we would hold some kind of grudge against them. We wouldn't. You're free to do what you want, Dolph, you're free to partner with who you want inside, with who you want, but I would like you to question a few things about it because if you—if you do side with John Cena and Siren, well, then what happens? Let's just say—let's just play this out a little bit, all right? Let's just role play it. Let's just say, you win. Let's just say, Team Cena wins, who do you think gets the credit for that, Dolph? Is it you? Do you get the credit for John Cena's team winning or does John Cena look like an even bigger hero because John Cena wins with Dolph Ziggler on his team?
Now, let's play it out the other way. Let's say Team Cena loses, who takes that heat, huh? John Cena gonna take the blame for that loss or is that gonna be you? Is John Cena already setting himself up for the inevitable loss by saying, "Well, what could you expect with somebody like Ziggler on my team?" You know, don't get me wrong, I don't think that there's anything about you, Dolph, that's a failure, I don't believe that at all. It's just you know as well as I do that every time you seem to rise up to the top, there's something in your way, somebody that no matter how hard you work and you do work hard, you bust your ass, probably harder than any other superstar in the back, that's a fact, and here's the thing, who gets the credit for that?
Is it Dolph Ziggler? Is it Dolph Ziggler? No. No. It's John Cena. Right? And you can call it whatever you want, you can say that's a glass ceiling, you can say it however you wanna say it, but if it's a glass ceiling, you certainly can't see through it and you certainly can't break through it, now, can you? Now…"
Stephanie interrupts her husband to drive his point home further. "And you have to ask yourself too, where is John Cena tonight?"
"That's a good point. Where is John Cena?" Hunter says taking the reins once more, smirking as he sees the questioning on Dolph's face. "He cares so much about his supposed team, he's not even here for you tonight. But that's okay, Dolph. Let's just—let's just say, it is what it is and let's say you take the gamble. Let's say—let's say, maybe it works out for you. Maybe you get everything you wanted out of life, maybe teaming with John Cena gets you championship shots, you're the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, you get the girls, you get the money, you get the fame, you get all their adulation, maybe."
"But that's an awful lot of maybes." Stephanie tells Dolph.
"It certainly is, it's a lot of maybes and it's a lot of uncertainties or you can just pick up the phone and tell John Cena the answer is no. Because here's the thing, Dolph, you know you have the talent, you know you have the ability, and I know it. And here's the thing you want certainty? You wanna get rid of all the maybes in your life? We can tell you how. You make a decision right now, you pick up the phone, you tell John Cena the answer is no, and all your uncertainty goes away, Dolph, write your own ticket. You can have anything you want. See, this is where it gets interesting, Dolph, right? This is where it gets interesting. You, ask we give, anything you want, Dolph."
Siren by now is fuming and she cannot stay silent any longer, with a nod from Dolph she takes his mic from him and raises it. "Oh, my God! Well, thank you Hunter for that insightful… jaw-dropping… complete load of crap! Thank you, for once again proving what every single superstar in the back already knows. That The Authority… is afraid. You are threatened and afraid of any superstar or diva, thinking for themselves, going against your precious list of rules."
Stephanie starts to speak and Siren holds up a finger cutting her off, "No, no… no. I'm not finished, Princess, so shut your trap and get back there with the kids, the adults are having a conversation."
The crowd roars as Stephanie shoots daggers at the brunette, Siren can see Seth trying not to smile out of the corner of her eye.
"For years I have watched you run superstars and divas down, all to make yourselves look better. I have seen you throw your weightlessness around, giving title shots to those who back you up, and demeaning and destroying the careers of those who won't. You want to know why people put their faith into a man like John Cena? Because he isn't afraid to stand up to bully's like you. He isn't afraid to go against The Authority, to stand up for all those superstars in the back that are ridiculed and stepped on by you every day.
Now, like you so eloquently mentioned, John isn't here. But I am. You see, John didn't just take a night off, he's out building a team so that we can do exactly what we have said we're gonna do. Take The Authority down. Now, you're also right about, Dolph. He is one of the best and in my opinion, the hardest working superstar in the back. There's a reason why he was the very first choice John and I had for our team.
But unlike Team Authority, we don't give the accolades to just one man. If Dolph wins the match for us at Survivor Series, it won't be because John Cena is the captain. It'll be because we had Dolph Ziggler, the Intercontinental Champion on our team. It'll be, because Dolph chose to be on our team, not because John picked him. You see, Hunter, you spend so much time and energy trying to scare people, to intimidate people into doing what you want. You try to make them believe that going with The Authority is their only option. But we all know better. We all know that doing business with The Authority, not only comes with a rope to hang yourself with, but a 6 foot hole in the ground to bury your career in.
I can see right through you Hunter, the only reason you made offers to not only myself, but John and now Dolph, is because you're scared. You know that at Survivor Series, The Authority is going to lose. And instead of being a real manager and preparing your team for battle, you're spending all your time and resources, trying to scare people into not joining John's team. If you have so much confidence in Team Authority and its golden boy captain… what are you afraid of?"
"Don't listen to her, Dolph. Think about yourself." Stephanie says.
Dolph rubs the back of his neck, his eyes looking into Siren's, who shrugs her shoulders at him, her silent way of telling him it's his decision.
"I can get anything? Anything I want?" Dolph asks as he stands beside Siren.
"You name it, anything you want. All you got to do is ask." Hunter assures him.
Dolph thinks for a moment, then nods his head in agreement. "All right. You know what I want? I want you out of power, I want you gone, I want your wife gone, I want your corporate dude gone, I want the sell-out gone, I want these two jabronies gone, I want them out of power for good!"
Siren smirks as she stands beside Dolph, she was certain that he was the right choice for their team and he just proved that she was right.
"That's too bad. That's too bad." Triple H says shaking his head. "I really wanted to give all of you what you want. I really did. That Steph and I wanted nothing more than to give to you what you want. But Dolph won't let it happen. So now, when you're little 12-year-olds are out there tweeting your displeasure to me about this, just remember that you have nobody to blame, but Dolph Ziggler. See, these are the crossroads in life where decisions are made, Dolph, and if the wrong decision is made, well, then sometimes, sometimes you end up empty-handed. I hope for your sake, you don't end up empty-handed because that could start at any time… like right now. For example, when you defend that Intercontinental Championship right now against the future of the WWE, Seth Rollins. Good luck, Dolph. You're gonna need it."
When they came back from commercial break, the match had gotten underway with Seth taking the lead. Siren stood on the side, across the ring from her were Noble and Mercury, whom she kept her eyes on. She was not going to let Dolph lose his title, and she was willing to do whatever it took.
And shortly after that she was doing just that. As Seth knocked Dolph out of the ring she saw Mercury and Noble headed towards him. Running around the side of the ring she jumped up onto the apron, elbowing Seth in the face as he tried to grab her. Turning she set her attention on J&J, unfortunately they had their backs to her, which proved to be fatal as she jumped off of the apron, catching both men with a cross-body and taking them to the ground.
Back in the ring, Dolph had climbed back in and had now took the fight to Rollins, beating him back into the corner. Dolph manages to hit his finisher "The Famouser" on Rollins, and Siren is beside herself as the traitor kicks out at the 2 count.
"Come on, Dolph! Stay on him, don't give him a minute to breath." Siren yells.
But before he can mount an offense, J&J Security get back into the fold. Mercury and Rollins manage to distract Siren, giving Noble a chance to snap Dolph's neck off of the top rope. Seth grabs Dolph by the trunks and tosses him shoulder first into the steel post. Siren slams her hand down on the mat as Seth bounces off of the ropes and nails Dolph with a curb-stomp.
But before she can interfere with Seth's impending victory, a snake slithers into the ring and strikes the golden boy. Rollins turns around in time to get hit with an RKO from Orton who came out through the crowd. Orton stands in the ring eyeballing J&J who scurry away from the ring, not wanting to tangle with the Viper.
Randy climbs out of the ring stopping beside Siren, for a moment they simply stare at one another. But then Siren smirks, Randy mirrors her holding his hand up, Siren high-fives him before he takes his leave up the ramp.
Siren helps Dolph backstage to the trainer's office, leaving him in capable hands she goes off to watch Randy's promo with The Authority. Randy comes out after it's done and sees her waiting for him.
"Are we having fun?" She questions with a smile.
"So much." He admits with a chuckle. "I promise I'll leave him in one piece."
"Please do. He's kind of a baby when he's hurt. He whines a lot." She said laughing as she sees Seth walking up to them.
"You know I can hear you right?" Seth snaps as he stops beside them.
"Uh-huh." Siren smiles.
Seth shakes his head, but he's smiling. "I hate you two."
"Na you hate me," Randy states before he nods to Siren, "But you love her." Randy winks at Siren before he walks away, leaving the two of them alone.
Seth turns to his girlfriend wrapping his arms around her waist, "He's right you know. I do. But, I don't think I've earned the right to say it yet. I got a little more to prove to you, before I feel like I've earned that right."
"I'm not going anywhere, Cole. Whether you say it in a week, a month, or years from now. I'll still be here. I know how you feel, I can see it in your eyes. You don't have to say anything."
Siren sees Vince walking around backstage, she flags him down and runs over to his side. "Hey, boss."
"Hey, sweetie. What can I do for you?"
"I had a great idea and I wanted to run it past you and see what you thought."
"Okay, hit me." Vince said listening intently, any idea Siren pitched to him was usually very good for the company.
"Well, you know that SOA just finished its final season, and Kurt Sutter gifted me both of the bikes that I rode for the series. Now, I was thinking that it would be cool to display them at RAW, Smackdown and our pay-per-views. Let the fans see them, take pictures with them, you know."
"I think that's a wonderful idea, Tasha. I think the fans would love that. If you're okay with fans being around them and sitting on them, then I'm completely okay with that idea. I will leave it totally in your hands."
"Thank you, Vince. I think it's gonna be great."
"All of your ideas usually are, of that I have no doubts."
After speaking to Vince, Siren headed off to the wardrobe department, she had a great idea for some props to go along with the bikes and there was only one person she trusted to do it. Peeking around the corner of the curtain she smiled as she saw the man she was looking for, he was sewing up a shirt for one of the Divas.
"Hey, Mikaze."
The man looked up with a smile, "Hey stranger. Haven't seen you for a minute, how you doing?"
Siren hugged him with a smile, "Doing much better. How's your girl? She ready to play in the big leagues?"
He smiled, "She's dominating NXT, I think she'll be ready soon."
His girlfriend was none other than "The Boss" Sasha Banks, who was currently down in Florida with NXT.
"That's awesome. I bet you'll be happy to have her around more."
"Yeah, I miss her so much."
"I'll bet. So, I have a great idea and I need your expertise with it."
"Alright shoot. What you got?"
"Well, I'm gonna put my SOA bikes out on display for the fans to take pictures with, and I thought it would be cool to have some leather vests like we wear on the show for the fans to put on in the pictures."
"And that's where I come in." He laughed.
"Of course. You're the best designer and the one I trust the most." Tasha said handing him her SOA cut. "If we could make a few for the girls that are identical to mine, then ones for the guys just minus my patches on the front."
"Yeah, sure, no problem."
"You're awesome." She said hugging him. "I'll cover all of the materials and fees you have, just get me a bill."
"You got it. I should have them ready by the time we get back from the UK."
"Sweet, I can't wait. Let me know if you need anything and please, guard that cut with your life." She said pointing at him.
"I promise. See you later, Hun."
"See you later."
Half an hour later Siren kissed Seth good luck before his match against Randy Orton. "Be safe."
"Always." He replied tossing her a wink before his music hit and he headed out to the ring.
Siren stood behind the curtain watching Seth and Randy beat the hell out of one another on the monitor. Neither man was holding back, they were fighting as if the WWE championship was on the line. She cringes covering her mouth as Randy delivers a super-plex from the top rope to Seth, their bodies bouncing off of the canvas as they hit.
Seth managed to get the drop on Randy, but as he went for the curb stomp, Randy countered it into a power-slam. Orton then delivered a DDT off of the second rope to Seth, but as he went for the RKO, Seth countered and managed to roll up Randy for the win.
Siren could see that Randy was beside himself with anger as he spoke to Hunter, nothing about this rivalry was over. So she wasn't at all surprised when Randy made like he was going to let things go as he shook Seth's hand, and ended up RKO'ing the golden boy. He then cleared the ring of J&J and Kane, before setting up for the punt to end Seth Rollins' career. But he was cut off by Triple H, who had removed his suit jacket and climbed into the ring to intercede. Randy was having none of the boss, proving his separation from The Authority by slamming his fist into Triple H's face.
J&J and Kane then ambushed Orton, beating him down to the mat, but Randy fought them off and returned to his feet, clearing them once more from the ring. He then rolled out and again took the fight to Rollins who was still reeling from the RKO. During the melee Randy delivered an RKO on the outside floor to Mercury, before Rollins managed to hit Randy with a curb-stomp on the announcer's table splitting his forehead open.
Siren then realized that this was not part of the plan, not one that she and Randy were informed of, as Triple H gave the order to the others to finish it. They positioned Randy's head over the steel steps and Rollins jumped off of the announcer's table delivering another curb-stomp, Randy's head snapping off of the steel before RAW went off the air.
However it was what happened after RAW went off the air that had the whole WWE locker room and Universe talking. Enraged by The Authority's blatant disregard for their superstars, Siren came out to the ring to protect Randy. But she didn't come alone.
Rollins, Kane, Noble and Mercury were oblivious to her presence until the kendo stick in her hands slammed into their bodies. Aiming her shots precisely at their backs and chests, Siren drove the four men back up the ramp, all of them crying out in agony.
Once they had retreated backstage, Siren returned to Randy's side, laying her hand on the side of his face. "Come on, Randy. Let's get you some help." Wrapping his muscular arm around her neck she lifted him to his feet and walked him backstage passing him off to the trainers that were waiting for them.
She shot a glare to Hunter and Stephanie who were standing off to the side, the fire in her eyes actually making them shrink back. "You're finished. At Survivor Series… The Authority will fail."
When she got back to the locker room she found Colby sitting on the couch, his head in his hands, he looked about as worse as Randy felt. He didn't look up nor make any indication that he heard her, so she walked over and sat down on the couch beside him.
"Cole?" She said gently as she laid her hand on his thigh.
He looked up at her with a despaired look, "I can't do this anymore. One of these days I'm really gonna hurt somebody, or worse. This isn't what I signed up for."
"I know." She took his face in her hands, "Hey, it's okay. We're gonna get through this. We're gonna come out on top, but we have to let this storyline play itself out. I know it's hard, I hate it just as much as you do. But, you and I both love this business, this is what we always wanted to do. If we can just hang on for a few more months, Vince and Hunter will put their plan into action."
"I don't know. Even if they find a way to let us be together, I'm always gonna be the traitor. I'm always gonna be the guy that turned on his friends, that joined The Authority, that sold out. How can you want to be seen with me? The fans will destroy you, they will hate you."
"It wouldn't be the first time I've sided with the enemy. I've played a face for so long, it'd be nice to be the bad girl for a while. And if I'm doing that alongside you, then so be it. It won't be the first time the fans have booed me, and I'm certain it won't be the last. But it'll be worth it, cause I'll have you."
