On Monday morning Colby and Tasha arrived at the arena for Monday Night RAW. Things were heating up as they headed toward Survivor Series, and the tensions backstage were at an all-time high between most of the superstars.
John Cena and Siren kick off the show by coming out to the ring and addressing the situation for them finding a team. As always the crowd voices their fondness of John with their rowdy boos and cheers.
"You know, I always do find the English remix of that song very amusing, so thank you. It's, it's quite obvious that we're in an excited and hostile environment here. No, no, no. I understand. I understand, because you understand what I'm going through. I can't even fill the team for my match at Survivor Series. Yeah. Mr. McMahon came out here and said that this Survivor Series will be the most epic in history. Because it's not just any Survivor Series, Team Authority against Team Cena, but here, here is what makes Survivor Series special in less than two weeks. If Team Authority should lose, they are out. They are out of power, see you, bye, hit the bricks. Here's the problem, The Authority doesn't want us to have a team." John admitted as he motioned between himself and Siren who stood beside him.
"They know their job is in jeopardy. And they're doing everything they can to scare everybody behind that wall into thinking it's a death sentence if they join Team Cena. Zack Ryder. Zack Ryder, you know, woo, woo, woo, my broski? He sent out—he sent out one tweet saying that he was ready to join Team Cena. At the hands of The Authority, Zack is now having surgery and will be out six months. Randy Orton last week tried to make a stand. You guys saw. What happened? The Authority put Randy Orton out of commission. And we're not gonna see Randy Orton for a while.
But I do have two guys. I got two people that are sick of taking The Authority's crap, that have heard for so long, that "You're never gonna make it. You're just a B+ player. You're not exactly what you're looking for." And those guys are willing to stand by my side and I'm proud to say the first is former World Heavyweight Champion, Jack Swagger. Who, The Authority, conveniently put in a match tonight with Seth Rollins. Oh, and the next superstar, well, he's got a hell of a chip on his shoulder. He has been told by everyone that is responsible for making a decision that he can never make it in this business. He has got a large mouth and a big kick and he is the current Intercontinental Champion. Dolph Ziggler."
John and Siren smile as the crowd starts chanting, "We want Ziggler."
"See, we hear you guys. And if you were running the show, you would get Ziggler, but we have to deal with Triple H and he's gonna keep him from you. I got those two. The Authority scared everybody else, threatened them with their career, threatened to take away their health, so they can't get in this ring and do what they love to do. But there's one guy, I don't think he's afraid of anybody. Actually he's not a man, he's a monster. He showed up two weeks ago and has just been destroying every single thing in his path. And as a matter of fact, he is my opponent in the main event tonight.
I know we don't see eye to eye and tonight's gonna be a hell of a fight. But I know he's hurt before. And he's been held back by The Authority before. So, before we get down to fighting, I like him to come on down here, we talk a little bit of business. Maybe we'll get another member to Team Cena."
The big man's music kicks on and he stalks his way to the ring, climbing inside and standing face to face with John.
"The big guy's back."
Those were the only words that Ryback got out, before Triple H's music came on and the entire Authority walked out onto the stage. Pausing a moment they brought out yet another member of their team, the world's strongest man, Mark Henry. Then all of them made their way down and got into the ring, Siren standing in the corner behind John, her eyes cutting straight through Seth Rollins.
The crowd starts chanting something and Stephanie smiles as she raises her mic, "You know honey. I love that these people know exactly who to ask the right questions to. I mean, they are accustomed to The Authority because after all, they're ruled by a monarchy, I mean, their national anthem is God save the queen, which by the way I'm thinking of using as my new entrance music."
While the crowd boos Stephanie, Triple H takes over at that point. "John, you're right about one thing, everything is on the line at Survivor Series, everything is on the line at Survivor Series to The Authority. Which means you can bet your ass that everything is on the line for everybody here in the WWE. You think I'm trying to scare people from being on your team? You're damn right I am, John. Here's the thing, I am gonna put the fear of God into those guys back there because as far as they're concerned, I am God.
Now, everything is on the line, careers, livelihoods, egos, all of it, for everybody. The stakes have been raised, John. That means the game has changed. So now the question is, who has the guts to play the game with all the chips on the table, huh? Who's got the guts? Who is gonna have the guts to step in and side with Team Cena knowing that it is career suicide, that it is the worst decision that they could ever possibly make? Or who will side with Team Authority knowing that while sometimes we might lose a battle, we have proven over and over again that at the end of the day The Authority always, always wins? So, let me get this straight, John. You got two guys on your team right now? Jack Swagger. You got that one, Seth?"
Rollins nods cockily with a smirk, "I got that."
"You got that? All right. And the other one, Dolph Ziggler. Hey, you can cheer for him all you want but, good lord, Dolph Ziggler? The little guy that probably more than likely, I can almost guarantee, won't even make it to Survivor Series. Because the fact is…"
Siren holds up her mic cutting Triple H off, "You said, sort of, the same about Daniel Bryan, didn't ya? But he beat your ass at Wrestlemania." She and John both smirk as the crowd cheers.
"Yeah. Yeah. And where is captain B+ today?" Triple H snarks. "Sitting at home on a shelf doing nothing. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, come on, come on. Now, he's doing nothing. And that's where Dolph Ziggler will be because tonight, Dolph Ziggler steps into the ring with the big man from Team Authority, "The world's strongest man," Mark Henry."
"John, you are one of the most inspirational and motivational speakers I have ever heard." Stephanie says as she walks across the ring to stand in front of John. "But all of this "join me, we're gonna put an end to The Authority," rah-rah speeches, it's all propaganda. And we all know that harsh reality is better than false hope. And that reality is that joining Team Authority is best for business. For example, Ryback, your opponent tonight in the main event, if Ryback joined Team Authority, imagine how many more main event match opportunities you could have.
Because like it or not, The Authority does make or break careers. And speaking of careers, at Survivor Series, our career is on the line, which means we are putting together the biggest, baddest, most dominant team in Survivor Series history, which is exactly why we have our eyes on the big guy. I mean, look at his power, his strength, his sheer intensity. I mean, Ryback, has the potential to be the biggest monster the WWE has ever seen."
Triple H steps up to solidify his wife's point, "So, what do you get? The monster with the insatiable appetite, they give him more, right? More, more opportunities, more main events, more championships, more money, more fame, more glory, more, more, more of anything you want."
"You know, this is why you two wankers should be out of a job." John states as he shakes his head. "Because you're too stupid to realize what's going on here, yeah you make and break careers, but you do so for your own protection. My team will take the field at Survivor Series two weeks from now. And I don't care if I got one guy or two guys or no guys. And if I get my ass kicked, at least I get my ass kicked as a man. Not as some sell out stooge or sell out Shield or sell out Kane or sell out sexual chocolate."
"He seems a little—little defensive." Stephanie commented.
"Hey." John says gaining Ryback's attention. "I'm not gonna beg you to do nothing. You want to join my team, fine. You wanna fine them, fine. But look at their track record, you mess up one time, you say the wrong thing, and they will end you Jack. I say this, I don't say join a team for bribes. If you're as good as you say you are, join my team and let them decide your fate. If they wanna see you, they will make it loud and clear that they want to see you."
The crowd solidifies John's point by chanting for Ryback, the big guy nods as he stares down The Authority. "The big guy's not afraid of The Authority. And I also don't see John Cena's name on the bottom of the big guy's paycheck."
Siren sees Ryback toss down his mic and turn to John, she jumps back out of the way as Ryback picks up John and slams him to the canvas with a "shell shock".
While the trainers helped Cena backstage during the commercial break, Siren remained ringside for Swagger's match against Rollins. She knew that The Authority men had marching orders to destroy anyone that aligned themselves with John, so she was going to make sure that Swagger had backup out there.
She stood across the outside of the ring from Zeb Colter, both of them cheering on Jack as he took the fight to Seth Rollins. Siren eyes flickered from the action in the ring to J&J Security that stood to her right in front of the announcer's table. But despite all of Jack's strength, Seth managed to outsmart him and hit the curb stomp for the win.
Siren sees Seth back up and lock his eyes on Jack once more, she climbs up on the apron and yells at him. "You've proved your point, Seth. That's enough!"
Seth just shot her a smirk before he ran towards Jack and nailed him with another curb stomp.
When she gets backstage Siren is called into Triple H's office, with a sigh she walks down the hallway and knocks on the door. Hearing him bid her entry she opens the door and steps inside, glancing around she finds Seth standing to her left, leaning against the wall. She's confused at the absence of Stephanie in this meeting, but she figures that she's not privy to what they're discussing.
Standing by the door with Seth she raises an eyebrow as she looks at her boss, "Why do I feel like a teenager being called into the principal's office?"
Hunter chuckles, "You're not in trouble. Vince and I talked and we think it's time to start baiting the hook with the WWE Universe."
"With what exactly?"
Hunter smiled at the woman, "With you and Seth. If we're ever gonna make the transition for you two to be together, then we have to see how the Universe is going to react to it. The better their reaction, the quicker we can make it happen."
"Okay." Siren nodded as she smiled over at Seth, who winked at her in return. "What do we do?"
"We're gonna start with some more backstage segments with the two of you. Maybe have Seth protect you from The Authority. Stuff like that. We'll gauge the fans reactions and go further from there. Is that okay with you two?"
Seth and Siren both nodded, they were more than ready to make this transition. But Siren had one small problem, "What happens when I turn? The fans are not gonna like me turning heel, we saw how that went with Evolution."
Hunter nodded, "I know, which is why Vince and I were thinking of keeping you as a baby face."
"How does she do that if she's with The Authority?" Seth questions.
"Simple, she becomes your manager, but with an ulterior motive. She will join The Authority because she has no choice, so her main goal will be to bring The Authority down from the inside."
"You're a genius, Paul. But I'm guessing that Stephanie doesn't know what you and her father are up to."
"What makes you think that?"
"That fact that she's not here." Siren stated with a smirk.
Again Hunter nodded, "You would be correct. Stephanie doesn't agree with the two of you being together in any way. But both myself and Vince agree that it will make for great ratings."
"And what do we do if she tries to stop us?" Seth wonders.
"We'll deal with that when and if the time comes. For now let's just worry about step one."
"Okay, when do we start?"
"Tonight. We're gonna have the two of you shoot a promo later on."
"Do we have a script?" Siren asks.
Hunter shakes his head, "No. I think the two of you can handle ad-libbing it. Just play up your roles and you'll be fine."
"Alright. Sounds good." Seth says smiling over at Siren as they thank Hunter and head back to their locker room.
Shortly after that Siren headed out to shoot a promo with Dean for Bray Wyatt, she didn't have any lines, she was just there because she was his manager.
So Dean sat on a bench in an undisclosed location in the back, Siren standing beside him, leaning back against a piece of scaffolding.
"Yeah, Yeah, I made a lot more enemies than friends in my career. And I got a rap sheet a mile long in this business. You wanna call me a sinner? That's fine. I'm a sinner. I've done a lot of dirty, despicable things to a lot of people and I don't apologize for any of it because I ain't trying to be anybody's hero. You wanna drag up old skeletons, you wanna talk about demons? You don't know anything about it. Every time I step in the ring I'm fighting demons and ghosts and they're a lot scarier than Bray Wyatt. But if I can say one thing for myself, I don't hide from any of it. The Authority couldn't put me out of my misery. Bray Wyatt sure as hell isn't gonna put me out of my misery. I'm not gonna give him the satisfaction. When I go down, I'm gonna self-destruct gloriously. I'm going down hard and if Bray Wyatt wants to go down with me, then I hope he's right. I hope there's a special place in hell for both of us."
Just before Siren went out to the ring with Dolph to back him during his match with Mark Henry, she paused to watch Seth's promo with Ryback.
Ryback was in his locker room working out his biceps with a set of workout bands when Seth Rollins walked in to talk to him.
"Ryback, my man." He said clapping his hands together. "Dude, you are looking huge. I just wanted to come in here face to face, Captain of Team Authority, I wanted to tell you, welcome aboard. And I wanted to reassure you that just like Rusev, you made the right call by jumping on our side, you know what I'm saying? I mean, this is huge. This match at Survivor Series, WWE as we know it is on the line. This is—it doesn't get any bigger than this. And it is gonna be my honor as Team Captain to lead us to victory over John Cena and whatever kind of losers he could scrounge up for this match at Survivor Series. Look, I know this might be a little sensitive, but we've had our differences in the past. We got to put that to bed, we got to put that behind us. We're on the same team now, we got to focus and that is all that matters. And personally, I agree with you. And your match with John Cena tonight, you don't need to take orders from Kane, that's ridiculous. You can take 'em from me. Okay, big man?"
Seth turns to leave when Ryback speaks, "Hey. My game plan is simple. I find a target and I destroy it. And John Cena's gonna find that out tonight. And it's not big man, it's the big guy."
Seth nods uneasily, "Okay. Big guy. Good luck."
Just after that the camera cut to a backstage locker room where Dolph Ziggler was getting ready for his match. The camera backs up to show John Cena and Siren walking in to stand beside the IC champ.
"How's Swagger?" Dolph asks as he massages his wrists.
"Not good, he's out." Siren says with a frown.
Dolph nods, "Okay. So now it's Kane, Rusev, Rollins, Mark Henry and now the big guy versus the two of us?"
"Yup, it is, but I get it. Those don't seem like good odds and it isn't Survivor Series yet, so you're the—you're the champ, man. You got to worry about your career. I'll tell you what, if you wanna jump ship, no hard feelings, I totally understand, I get it."
"Jump ship?" Dolph says with a nod. "The Authority has made so many superstars an afterthought since they've taken over."
"Yeah, you're telling us." Siren says with a humorless laugh.
"For once, we're on the same page here." Dolph tells them both. "The Authority has to go. They've gone out of their way even despite themselves to make sure that I don't make it to Survivor Series. So for once, I got your back."
"Well, I got a feeling they're up to something, so I don't know what difference it'll make but I'll be at ringside for you then. If they try anything, I'll swing until I can't swing no more. Good luck champ."
As John and Siren turn to leave, Triple H bounces through the door, dancing around like he's listening to some imaginary music. "What's up, guys? What's going on? Why the long faces? Couldn't help but overhear your conversation here. And well, I'm cool with you guys watching each other's backsides in a kind of an odd way, but you just gonna have to do it from a distance. You're not gonna be able to do it from ringside because Mark Henry deserves that fair honest shot at Dolph Ziggler here, so I'm gonna have to ban you from ringside John."
"Of course you are."
"Yeah, but Siren, you're fine to be out there of course."
Siren rolls her eyes, clearly The Authority forgets how protective and crazy she can be. She has no problem taking on any of The Authority men.
"You know, shame what happened to Swagger earlier. It really is. But, you know, hey it's nothing personal, right? It's just business and everybody gets it. Come on, guys. Cheer up. It's a good night, man. Let's go, bump, bump, bump, another one bites the dust. Another one bites the dust."
Siren tries to smile as she follows Dolph out to the ring, his title shining around her waist as usual. She knows that Mark Henry has been instructed to make sure that Dolph doesn't make it to Survivor Series, so that means her mission is to stop that from happening.
As Mark came to the ring and the match got underway, it was clear to Siren that Mark was looking to make good on his promise to The Authority. After knocking Henry into the timekeeper's area, the big man got to his feet and grabbed a steel chair. Raising the chair, Mark threw it at Dolph, slamming it off of his face, prompting the ref to call for the disqualification.
Mark then picks up Dolph and slams him back first into the steel steps, then he picks up the bottom half and shoves it inside of the ring. But before he could do anything to Dolph, the Big Show comes out to deter the big man. Show takes the fight to Mark Henry and knocks him out of the ring, he then grabs a mic to announce why he's out there.
"Come on, Mark. Don't run. If you wanna run, fine. Run. Leave. But let me let you in on a little secret, hoss. I joined Team Cena and I'll be seeing your ass at Survivor Series."
As they went to commercial Big Show helped Siren take Dolph backstage, there they met up with John.
"Didn't I do good out there, Show? Siren?"
"You did good there." Show tells Dolph, while Siren nods in agreement. "Hey, you're still good looking, and that goes for something, right?" Show jokes as Cena walks up to them.
"Yeah, I can't believe it." John says.
Show throws up his hands, "You know, nobody hates The Authority more than I do. Thank you."
"Well, after all this time I got to say thank you, sir. Welcome aboard." John says as he shakes Show's hand.
"I appreciate the opportunity."
"Well, we got three, boys." Siren says smiling. "All we need to do is find two more guys crazy enough to do this with us."
"Good luck." Dolph says smiling.
"Actually beautiful, you only need one more fellow."
Siren looks behind her to see the Celtic Warrior Sheamus walk up to their group.
"Because I'm going with Team Cena." He says as he shakes John's hand.
"Damn right. Welcome aboard."
"I think business just picked up a little bit." Show says as he and Dolph shake Sheamus' hand.
"Well, we got four." John says. "One more."
Siren stands in the back with her team, they're watching a promo with Team Authority on the monitor. It seems that there is dissension among the ranks, none of the men proving that they want to work together. Triple H and Stephanie are trying to bring the men together as a team, but it is proving difficult because Kane seems to have a problem with Ryback. He insists that he will be out at ringside for Ryback's match to ensure that Ryback does his part to take out Cena.
"I think we got this at Survivor Series guys." Siren says smiling.
Siren heads out onto the stage with John, both of them saluting the fans before they run down and slide into the ring. Just as she expected, this was not going to be a fair fight, this was a massacre in the making, as Ryback made his way to the ring followed by Team Authority and J&J Security.
As Team Authority took up their positions ringside in front of the announcer's table, Siren stood on the side of the ring to their left. She kept a close eye on the men, particularly Rollins, as she knew he was itching to interfere in the match.
As the match progressed it was clear that Ryback had control from the beginning. As it neared the end of the match, John locked in the STFU and Siren could see Seth and The Authority guys freaking out thinking Ryback was gonna lose the match. She saw Kane jump up on the apron, but he was quickly knocked down by John. However when John turned back to the match, he was caught by Ryback and slammed onto the mat.
While Rollins and Mark Henry tried to calm Kane down, Ryback backed into the corner looking to deliver his clothesline. But before he could, Kane took it upon himself to climb into the ring and attack John. The ref called for the disqualification declaring John the winner, as Ryback stood in the corner just staring at the demon.
Ryback had enough and strode over grabbing Kane by the shoulder and backing him away from John. The two exchanged heated words before Ryback shoved Kane, the demon responded by ripping off his jacket as he prepared for a fight.
The two men were kept apart by Rollins, who tried to be the peacemaker for his teammates. But it was a horrible decision on Rollins' part, as Ryback nailed him in the face with a right fist. From there it was an all-out melee as all of Team Authority got into the ring to beat up on John, but they didn't count on Team Cena coming out to defend their captain.
Sheamus and Big Show entered the ring taking the fight to Team Authority, while Siren carefully made her way around the ring to check on John. She had John against the turnbuckle, his head still reeling from the beating he had taken. She stood up shielding his body with her own as Rollins and Kane advanced on her. She readied herself for a fight, but something behind the two men caused her to smirk.
Seeing that her reaction to them advancing on her wasn't fear, the two men turned around, only to be attacked by Ryback, who was less than happy about their interference in his match. Ryback lifted Rollins up and planted him with a spine-buster on the mat, then leveled Henry with a right hand followed by a huge clothesline to Rusev. Kane was the last one standing, he grabbed Ryback by the throat going for his choke slam, but he didn't count on Ryback's strength. The big man took Kane's wrist in his grip and pulled it away from his throat. He then picked Kane up and nailed him with a shell shock, planting him on the canvas.
Siren and John stood in the ring watching Ryback walking back up the ramp, they both shared an incredulous look. Nodding to the big man they clapped their hands, impressed with what he had done.
The cameras then cut to Triple H's office where an unconscious Dolph Ziggler was thrown onto the floor, Hunter and Stephanie jumping back as the showoff hit the ground at their feet.
"I'm a team player."
Hunter and Stephanie nodded as they smiled at their new team member, Luke Harper.
RAW went off the air that night after an interesting promo that had everyone roaring with approval, it seemed as though there might be a new power couple in the WWE soon and the Universe was all for it.
Siren was walking through the backstage area with her bag when Seth Rollins stepped out from around a corner in front of her. She stopped in her tracks, rolling her eyes and letting out a sigh she let her bag drop to the ground at her feet. Crossing her arms across her ample chest, which drew Seth's eyes to her cleavage of course, Siren scoffed.
"Eyes up here Rollins."
Seth smirked as he looked up to her face with a shrug, "Can't blame a guy for admiring."
"Whatever. What do you want? I'm kinda in a hurry." Siren was beyond annoyed, but she was too tired to fight with Seth right now.
"Look, I know you said that you'd never join The Authority, but I really think you should give it some thought."
Siren pursed her lips for a moment before answering, "No."
Seth sighed, running a hand through his hair, "Siren, Team Authority is going to win at Survivor Series. You and I both know that. And when they do, you and the rest of Team Cena are gonna be the first targets. I know you don't believe me when I say this, but I do care about you. I don't want to see you get hurt."
"You're right, Seth, I don't believe you. Not anymore. Six months ago I would have, but now, I don't believe a word that comes out of your mouth. The Authority is everything that I hate about this business, and there is nothing in the world that could make me join them willingly. I'm not you. I don't need the fame, money or title shots. I'm here because I love wrestling. I love my fans and my friends, and I would never betray them by selling out.
You saw what The Authority did to Randy, turning on him in a heartbeat because it suited their needs. Do you really think you're that special that they wouldn't do the same thing to you? If you do, you're even denser than I thought you were. You're smarter than that Seth. I know you, the real you, the one you try to hide from everyone now that you're an Authority man. I know you have doubts about them, and you know that I'm right about them. I just hope that you are smart enough to get out, before they turn on you."
She leans down and picks up her bag, shouldering it. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go."
Seth pushes off of the wall blocking her exit, "You're right. You do know the real me. You're the only one who does." He hands her something before leaning down and kissing her cheek, he then gives her a wink before turns to leave. He takes a few steps before pausing and turning back to her, "I was wrong about Paris."
Siren is perplexed as he walks away but she can hear the fans roaring inside of the arena. The camera then pans down to show what Seth had handed her, a single stemmed red rose. Lifting it up she noticed a small tag around the base, picking it up she read what he had wrote on it:
'Paris always mattered.'
Looking up to the empty hallway she let a small smile lift the corner of her mouth, she could hear the cheers of the fans as she lifted the rose and smelled it.
After the show the group made their way back to the motorhome Tasha had rented, they were staying at the arena for the week since Main Event and Smackdown were both being held at the arena. Once they had a nice dinner, the two couples turned in for the night. Colby smiled as he laid in bed with Tasha sleeping on his chest, his eyes looking at the shelf where a vase sat, inside it was the rose he had given her.
The next day Tasha and Jon went back into the arena for Main Event, they being the only two that were scheduled to be on. Renee stayed in the motorhome with Colby watching the show, she didn't feel right leaving him out there by himself.
Siren and Dean made their way down to the ring for Ambrose's match against Justin Gabriel on Main Event. As they replayed the scenes from last week's Smackdown between Dean and Bray, Siren sat up on the turnbuckle. She and Dean both smirked as Justin made his way to the ring, Siren hopped down and knocked fists with Dean before she rolled out of the ring.
Justin and Siren had been friends for a long time, he was a good wrestler in her opinion. He had good ground game and outstanding top rope skills. But he was no match for the unpredictable and tough lunatic fringe. Siren felt bad for Justin as Dean brutally beat the man, she knew he wasn't seeing Gabriel right now, all he saw was Bray Wyatt.
She winced as Dean slammed Justin's head into the mat with "Dirty Deeds" securing the win. As Justin rolled out of the ring, Siren grabbed a mic and climbed into the ring, handing it to Dean who had a message for Bray Wyatt.
"Bray Wyatt says that there's a special place in hell for people like us. Maybe he's right. I don't care! I'm not afraid! Bray Wyatt's playing games. I don't play games. This isn't a game to me. This is my life. Bray Wyatt said he wants to fix me. Bray Wyatt said he wants to make me whole again. Whatever, man. When you start poking and prodding at me people start getting their teeth knocked out! So at Survivor Series Bray Wyatt will get everything that he wants, me in this ring, and I will give Bray Wyatt a little family counseling."
Dean throws down the mic and climbs up onto the turnbuckle, nodding as the fans cheer for him. He climbs down and Siren holds up his hand as Main Event goes off of the air.
Friday night Siren sat backstage at Smackdown, smiling as she watched Jericho make his way down to the ring. He was set to host The Highlight Reel, his talk show tonight, and his guests were none other than Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Siren knew how Chris felt about The Authority, so she knew that this would be a segment to remember.
She couldn't help but laugh as Stephanie held up her hand for Chris to kiss, and Jericho in turn gagged in response. Siren laughed the entire time listening to Chris' responses to Hunter and Stephanie, especially when he ended the interview by singing goodbye to them along with the WWE Universe.
After that she headed up to the curtain to join up with Dean, she could hear Bray Wyatt in the ring talking about Ambrose once more. Nodding to her brother they waited for his music to hit before she followed him out onto the stage.
"I can hear you, Dean Ambrose. I can feel you in my chest, in my heart. I can hear you screaming for help. Cause I know Dean. I know about all those lonely nights that you felt and how you felt unloved and unwanted. I know about how every Christmas morning you would wake up praying that this would be the day—today would be the day that daddy comes back for me. But when you came downstairs, all that was waiting for you was darkness. And that darkness, it has become a way of life for you, Dean Ambrose. But it doesn't have to be this way. Here I am, embrace me Dean Ambrose for I am the light that you have been searching for your entire life. Let me fix you, Dean. Let me fix you, Dean. Salvation is at hand, let me fix you, Dean."
Dean Ambrose was in a foul mood as he stalked down to the ring, Siren followed behind him her face conveying her fury at Bray's words. She had enough of creative using Dean's past to fuel the fire between the two men. Hearing Bray tell Dean that he had no one to love him, to care about him, that he was alone, pissed her off. As the two climbed into the ring, Bray wisely slid out and kneeled down behind the steel steps.
"And there you are. There he is right on time. So hostile, what a hero, ready to change the day at any time. Now, Dean, I don't know if you realize this but how predictable are you? I mean, every time I wanna see your shiny face, all I have to do is push your buttons or pull the strings and out you come filled with rage. And make no mistake, you are no different than him, Siren. You are a volatile temptress, ready to unleash hell at the drop of a hat on whoever you see fit. And I know what you're here to do. I know what you're here to do. You wanna hurt me, don't you, Dean? You wanna hurt me, don't ya? You wanna punish me, well go on. Punish me because I know you just wanna punish me like you wanna punish your daddy."
Bray climbs into the ring and is met with an immediate right hand from Dean, that sends Bray out of the ring and retreating back up the ramp laughing.
"There it is, Dean. There it is, Dean. You wear the mask of a lunatic but I know that you're just a child screaming for someone to show you the way. But I know fear, Dean, because I am the key to the light."
Bray walks up the ramp and disappears into the back, his voice still being heard in the arena. "Follow me and you will never be in the dark again."
Siren and Dean returned backstage where they found out that poor Dolph was again being punished by The Authority, they were making him defend his IC title in a triple threat match against Cesaro and Tyson Kidd. Also Ryback would be in a match against Kane. It seemed as though The Authority was making sure that anyone that opposed them felt their wrath.
Dolph Ziggler made his way down to the ring for his IC title match, he smirked as he looked beside him to Siren, who was wearing his title around her waist once more. They both knew that it gyrated on Seth Rollins' nerves every time she accompanied Dolph to the ring wearing his title. Knowing that it could set him off his game, they did it every chance they got.
Siren took off Dolph's belt holding it up with one hand and his hand with her other. Afterwards she handed the belt to the ref who held it up, before he handed it down to the ringside techs.
As the match got started Siren grimaced as Dolph was quickly knocked down, Cesaro and Kidd taking the fight to one another. For eleven minutes the crowd cheered for Dolph, who had managed to hold his own throughout the entire match. Cesaro had long been eliminated from the match, the two high flyers taking him out early on.
Ziggler managed to counter the sharpshooter and hit the "Zig Zag" for the win. Siren cheered as she grabbed Dolph's title and climbed into the ring wrapping him up in a hug. She handed him the title and then held his hand up as the fans roared with approval for the showoff.
As they came backstage they were met by Seth who good-naturedly shoved Dolph away from Siren's side with a smile. "Alright, hands off my woman, Ziggler."
Dolph held up his hands in retreat, chuckling, "Hey, she's all yours man."
Siren shook her head smiling as she and Seth walked back to the locker room, but Siren got called off to go do a promo with Dean. She told Seth she'd be right back, so she headed to one of the back stairwells to meet up with her lunatic.
As Dean and Siren headed towards the parking lot stairwell, they were interceded by Byron Saxton.
"Dean. Dean. If I could have a moment of your time. Do you feel that Bray Wyatt's twisted message is starting to have an effect on you?"
"Bray Wyatt is playing games. I'm sick of games. I'm sick of this crap. If Bray Wyatt is gonna get inside of my head he's gonna regret it."
Suddenly they heard a guttural growl, turning around they find Bray shoving a black case towards them. Without a chance to move it hits them, slamming Siren backwards onto the stairs, while Dean is pitched up onto the top of it. Bray grabs him by the jacket and slams his face off of the case. Dragging Dean down onto the floor, Bray smirks sadistically at Siren before he kisses Dean's forehead, then slams him face first against the wall with "Sister Abigail".
"Dean!" Siren yells as Bray slides down the wall, resting Dean's head in his lap.
"This world. It wasn't meant for people like us Dean. Once they put a label on you, that's the way they put you in a box. And once they get you in that box, the next one will be in the ground."
"Dean." After that Bray leaves, Siren gets to her feet and runs over kneeling down beside Dean, pulling his head up onto her lap. "Dean, Jesus Christ."
After the cameras cut off Seth runs up having seen the promo on the TV, he helps Siren get Dean to his feet and take him to the trainer's office where Renee was waiting for them. The two head back to the locker room, both of them flopping down on the couch with a sigh.
"I think I need a new line of work." Siren grumbles as she prods at her shin bone which is sporting a new bruise right in the center of her leg. The rolling case that Bray had shoved had hit her directly in the leg, instantly bruising it and giving her a goose egg in its place.
"I think you just need to start acting like a lady, then maybe you'll be treated like one." Seth said with a chuckle.
Siren rolled her eyes, "Please, we both know I can't play a damsel in distress. And besides, you wouldn't want me that way."
Seth smirked as he wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her back against his body. "You're right about that. I fell for the feisty side of you. But if you ever did wanna play the damsel, you've got a white knight to save you."
Siren laughed as he winked at her, tipping her head up to kiss his lips. "So, you ready for our next promo?"
"Always." He smirked.
The two got ready and headed off to the backstage area where they would be filming, the two sharing a kiss before they went their separate ways.
The last match of the night was getting ready to start as the cameras cut to backstage, the fans cheered as they saw Siren standing in the locker room packing up her bag. When she finished she shouldered the bag and walked over opening the door, coming face to face with none other than Seth Rollins. Just like Monday night, Siren rolled her eyes as she saw Seth smirking at her.
"It seems you're making a habit of this, Rollins."
"What can I say, I just can't stay away." Seth said with a grin.
Siren scoffed as she shoved past him, "Try harder." She continued walking down the hall, gritting her teeth when she noticed that Seth was following her. Sighing, she stopped and turned around to face him, "You're persistent."
"I know what I want."
She shook her head not believing what she was hearing. "Well, newsflash, Rollins. Just cause you want something, doesn't mean you can have it."
Seth smiled, "We'll see about that."
"You know I wonder what Triple H and Stephanie have to say about this. My guess, is that they have no idea what you're up to."
He smiled as he circled her slowly, like a predator eyeing his prey. "No, they don't. But this isn't about what The Authority wants, it's about what I want." He pulled an orchid out from behind his back, lifting it up he tucked it behind her ear. "And I want you."
As he walked away he could hear the roar of the crowd at their interaction, his smile growing wider.
When the cameras had stopped rolling Colby and Tasha returned back to the locker room, both of them smiling at a job well done. Colby had just leaned down and kissed her when they heard a knock at the door. It opened and Paul stood in the doorway grinning, "Nice job you two, the crowd is loving it. Keep it up and we'll have this ball rolling in less than 6 months."
Paul shot them both a wink before he left, shutting the door behind him. Tasha and Colby smiled at one another, 6 months was quick for a storyline change, but they were not about to question it.
The couple smiled as they met up with their friends outside, Tasha kissed Colby goodbye, she'd see him on the plane home. She rode to the airport with Jon and Renee, while Colby drove himself. The group was all smiles as they met back up on the plane, Jon and Renee taking the row of seats in front of Tasha and Colby. The four of them laughed and joked as they flew back to the United States, the boys picking on one another, tossing paper balls at each other, just basically acting like a couple of kids.
