Colby woke up as sunlight washed across his face, turning his head he glanced at the clock which read 10 o'clock. It wasn't often that they got to sleep in late, so when they did he took advantage of it; he always felt better after having a restful night's sleep. Looking down he found Tasha still asleep on his chest, her light breath tickling the hair on his pec. Her right hand was laying on his stomach, he placed his hand over hers admiring the way her black tipped gel stiletto nails contrasted against his tanned skin.
He loved her this way, sleeping peacefully, her dark hair splayed on his chest and arm; no worries, no schedules, just sweet dreams.
He relished in these simple moments with her, his mind wondering how he ever got lucky enough to call her his own. After being in relationships with the likes of Edge, John Cena, Randy Orton and CM Punk, he never would have guessed she'd take a second look at him. But he found out very quickly that Tasha didn't make decisions on who she dated by their popularity or their status with the company. She looked at the soul and character of the man, judging if he would treat her right, and if he was the right fit for her life; and in the last three years she had been looking for someone who was the right fit for Kailynn.
Colby had asked her back in 2012 when they first became friends why she hadn't dated anyone else in the company since her divorce with Cena. Her answer was that she needed to see if there was something else out there for her, since clearly her relationships with wrestlers weren't panning out well.
So she had fallen in love with a Marine and taken a step back from the ring, still performing but not in such a high capacity as before. But after 6 years and the birth of Kailynn, she found herself looking into the mirror and not recognizing the woman staring back at her. Her husband never wanted a wife, he wanted a slave, a woman who would do whatever he said, when he said it, and that was just not her.
After her divorce to him in 2011 she put herself back into the WWE full time and never looked back. Her ex-husband decided that he wanted nothing to do with her or his daughter, which was just fine with Tasha; her theory was, if you want to be there, be there full time, if not… don't be there at all. From then on Tasha's only priority was providing the best life she could for Kailynn. Relationships were nonexistent to Tasha at that point, because now it wasn't just about her, it was about her daughter too. If you wanted Tasha, you had to take Kailynn too, they were a package deal.
Colby had never gave much thought to being a father, especially this early in his career. But from the moment he first held Kailynn, he had fallen in love, he became permanently wrapped around that little baby's finger; and now three years later, he couldn't imagine not having that little girl in his life. He had meant what he said to Tasha, about adopting Kailynn; he'd sign the papers today if she asked him to.
He smiled as he watched Tasha's eyes flutter open, her cobalt blue's staring up at him as she tilted her head on his chest. "Were you watching me sleep?"
"Maybe." He grinned cheekily.
"Creeper." She said with a smile, breaking into laughter as he started tickling her sides, which ended when she rolled off of the bed and stood up out of his reach. "Care to join me for a shower?"
"I can't promise to keep my hands to myself." He told her with a grin.
"Well, then I promise I'll be quiet." She winked.
"Ha, yeah, you're not a quiet one baby." He laughed as he rolled off the bed and headed into the bathroom with her.
For the next two days the group spent time with Colby's family, along with Nick and his two sons; the two boys along with Kailynn were spoiled of course, they being the only children in the family.
In between the family time Tasha helped Colby and Nick prepare the school for its new training classes that were kicking off in January. While that meant Tasha and Colby wouldn't be around their friends as much for the next month, they were both excited to work with the new group of students.
On Christmas morning the group opened up their gifts from one another at Colby's house; Tasha shaking her head as her daughter had a mini meltdown when she saw the treehouse fort bed that Colby had put up in her room. She smiled as she leaned against the doorframe and watched her daughter instantly disappear into the reading nook on the bottom.
She felt Colby come up and wrap his arms around her waist, "Do you think she likes it?"
"Likes it?" Tasha asked with a smirk as he rested his chin on her shoulder. "I don't think she's ever gonna wanna leave."
"Good. This is her home too now, I want her to be happy here." He said honestly.
Tasha sighed as she turned around in his embrace and placed a soft kiss to his lips. "Thank you. I know becoming an instant father figure can't be easy. But she really loves you."
Colby smiled, "And I love her too. You said it before, you and her are a package deal, and I couldn't imagine not having either of you as a part of my life."
Tasha smiled before Colby took her hand, "Alright, come on. Time for your present." She laughed as Colby drug her out to the backyard and her face instantly lit up.
"No freaking way!" Tasha exclaimed as she saw 6 boxes stacked up in a pyramid on the table. "You bought us RC trucks!?"
Colby grinned as he watched her run over and start looking at the boxes, deciding which one she wanted to call for herself. "I know you like 'em, and I thought it would be cool to have something to play around with on our days off. Jon even helped me make a track too, see?"
Tasha followed his finger as it pointed to a section of the backyard where he and Jon had made jumps out of the dirt and formed a small track for them to race on. She giggled as she ran over and jumped into his arms. "You are amazing." She kissed his lips before letting go and pulling a small black box out of the pocket of her hoody. "Well, my gift now seems minimal compared to this."
"Anything from you is not minimal, baby." Colby said as he took the box and opened the lid. Inside were two black titanium ID bracelets, one saying "Her Heart" the other saying "His Soul." The words were flanked on both sides by a diamond, and as he inspected the inside of the plate it was engraved with 8/29/2011, the day that they had met for the first time in NXT. "Why this date? Why not the day we started dating?"
"Because that was the day that I knew, I had found the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with."
Colby smiled bright as he leaned down and kissed her passionately. "Thank you. I love them." Colby had never been one for jewelry, the only thing he usually wore on his wrist was a watch. But knowing that this was her way of telling the world that she had chosen him, without them actually coming out and saying it, that meant so much to him.
He took the bracelets out and clipped one onto her left wrist, before handing her the other and allowing her to do the same onto his right wrist.
They spent the morning outside playing with the RC trucks, eventually being joined by Nick and his sons who retreated into Kailynn's room to play in the fort. Colby's parents joined them that afternoon, bringing over the gifts they had gotten for the kids.
Around 1pm Tasha gathered them all in the living room as she hooked up her laptop to the big screen TV, her mother was going to Skype her so that they could exchange hellos; but Tasha also had a big surprise in store for her sister.
Her mother logged on a few minutes later and Skyped them from her phone, Tasha smiled as both of her families waved to one another. "Hi momma."
"Hi sweetheart. Merry Christmas to all of you. We miss you so much."
"We miss you too." Tasha laughed as her daughter yelled hello to her gramma and papa. "Hi gamma, hi papa!"
"Hi monkey!" Jim hollered back to his granddaughter.
"Is my sister there?" Tasha asked as her mother showed that they were standing in front of Tasha's garage at her cabin.
"I'm right here." Taylor said as she popped up in the camera frame.
"Okay, so did mom give you my garage door opener?"
"Yep." Taylor said holding up the small black box with numbers 1-4 on them, each corresponding to the three small doors and the large roll up.
"Okay, so I want you to press number 2 and you'll see your present."
Both groups watched in excitement as Taylor pressed the number 2 button and then waited as the door rolled up to reveal a brand new Harley. Tasha laughed as her sister started screaming when her eyes landed on the bike. "Oh my God! Oh my God! No way! Are you serious!? You bought me a bike!? This is amazing, thank you so much sis!"
Tasha's heart swelled as she saw her sister start to cry when she sat down on the seat of the Harley. She knew her sister had been working so hard to save up for a Harley, being as that everyone else in the family had one already.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Taylor cried as she looked into the camera.
"You're so welcome little sis. I know how hard you have been working to save up to get one and you deserve it. It's paid off, the title is in the saddle bag, and when I come home to visit, you and I are gonna go for a ride together."
"Deal." Taylor said as she blew her sister a huge kiss. "I love you so much. Thank you."
"Your smile is all the thanks I need. I love you too."
No matter how long Tasha had to spend away from her family, the time with them she had to sacrifice; the smile on her sister's face right now, it made it all worth it. Moments like these are what life is all about.
When the group rolled into the arena on Friday for Smackdown they couldn't help but stand by the rig and smile for a few minutes. The reason why; the massive crowd of fans gathered around the fences cheering as their hometown boy Seth Rollins walked into the back of the arena.
The group waited until he was inside before they gathered their bags and headed for the building as well; pausing to sign autographs and take a few pictures with the fans along the way.
When Tasha got into the locker room after dropping Kailynn off with a few of the girls, she found Colby sitting on the bench unpacking his gear. "Hey, hometown boy." She said with a smile.
"Shut up." He chuckled as he shoved her shoulder.
"What? It's nice to see the fans cheering for you. You deserve it, especially from your home state."
"Yeah, I guess so. It's about the only time I ever get cheered nowadays."
Tasha could tell by the downtrodden tone of his voice that he was tired of being a heel. Most people outside of the business don't realize how much it can take out of you hearing boos all the time. It was hard to go from being cheered for three years, being a kid's hero, a good guy; to then being booed, hated, and even having people threaten you. There had been several Superstars over the years that had received death notes and threatening letters from fans around the world.
Tasha had her share of them throughout her career, especially when she had turned her back on John Cena and joined Evolution. But luckily the WWE take the safety of their Superstars very seriously and investigate every letter that is presented to them. Triple H and Stephanie had come to expect a certain amount of these letters every time a high profile Superstar or Diva turns heel; and if they can they will keep the letters a secret from the person so as not to set them on edge.
Colby chuckled, "Well, at least I haven't got any death threats yet."
Tasha gave a half-hearted laugh, "That's very true. I gotta go see hair and makeup, I'll meet you up by gorilla, k?"
"Okay, my soul." He leaned down and pressed kiss to her lips.
Tasha left the room, closing the door behind her with a sigh; no, Seth Rollins hadn't received any death threats… that he knew of. From the moment he had connected that chair to Ambrose and Reigns, there had been an immediate response of letters and postings on social media declaring the fans hatred of Rollins. WWE corporate as well as Triple H and Stephanie were quickly on top of it, deleting the posts and reporting the perpetrators to the authorities. No one had ever gone through with any of their threats; but then, no one was as wildly popular as The Shield; and when they had imploded, it was worse than anyone backstage had ever seen before.
At the request of Triple H and Stephanie, Tasha hadn't said anything to Colby about any of the letters; the two bosses had let her read them so that she could understand the increased security that would be surrounding Rollins. She was appalled by the maliciousness of the letters, the sheer hate and resentment towards a person that these people didn't even know personally.
This was yet another reason why Tasha wished that people could learn to separate the characters they portrayed, from the human beings that they actually were. When it all came down to it, it was just a show and they were actors playing a part. Even in the movies you have the characters that you dislike, but no one had ever thought to kill the actors portraying them.
Tasha felt horrible for keeping this from Colby, but she knew that he was already having a hard time dealing with turning heel; hearing about how the fans really felt about him would crush him and Tasha would not be the one to cause him that pain.
As she sat in the chair letting Leslie, Nicole and Brittany tag team her hair and makeup, she got a text on her phone. Unlocking the screen she opened up a video sent to her by her mom; it was a video of her younger sister taking her first ride on the Harley that Tasha had bought for her. Tasha smiled as she saw the smile that lit up her sister's face that was the reason she did the things that she did, it was for those reactions.
Tasha had money, plenty of it to live comfortably forever, but instead of buying expensive things for herself or things she didn't need; she chose to spoil the people in her life that made her who she was. Her sister had always wanted a Harley, especially after spending time on set with her during SOA. It had taken Tasha nearly a year to find the perfect one, and then send it to her friend to have it customized and painted.
Her sister had always loved Batman, so Tasha had the bike custom painted black and purple; with a Batman symbol on the tank and Taylor's nickname, Ms. Batman underneath it, as well as an LED light on the frame that projected a Batman symbol onto the ground. It cost a pretty penny, but when she saw her sister's genuine tears and bright smile of happiness, the amount of money never even crossed her mind.
Stephanie walked up as Tasha was just stepping out of the makeup chair, she gave Tasha a smile which immediately set the brunette on edge. "Hey, what are you doing here, Steph? Aren't you risking ruining the storyline if someone sees you?"
"I'm just as sneaky as you are, Tasha. As for why I'm here, can we talk for a minute, in private?"
She was taken aback by the sincerity in Stephanie's voice, "Sure."
The two women walked down the hall to the office where Stephanie and Triple H had set up their things; both of them taking a seat together on the couch.
Stephanie turned to Tasha with a frown, "We've been around this company together for a long time. You've been like a sister to me, you've always had my back. And I realized over the holidays that I haven't always had yours and I owe you an apology."
"For what?"
"For not being the friend that we always promised we would be to the other. When you first got here and took the company by storm, I was jealous of you Tasha; not just for the way the fans instantly took to you, but for how easily you fit in with everyone backstage. You immediately bonded with the guys that I had been around and had crushes on forever, and I couldn't get them to take a second look at me. But then you befriended me and spent time with me, and we became really good friends; and I started to see why everyone takes to you so easily. You have this aura around you that makes it hard to hate you; you're so kind, and smart, and funny, and loyal to a fault.
You stood by me when I told my dad about Paul, and you stuck by me when my father threatened us both to stay away from him. You had my back, always covering for me when I spent time with him, backing up my stories when I lied about being with him. You knew I loved Paul, and you did everything a great friend does to help me make it work.
But when Seth Rollins came into the picture, I didn't stand by you like I should have. I have seen the horrible breakups and pain you have went through in our years together; and I guess I was just afraid that he was gonna be another guy that was gonna leave you broken. But I've realized that he isn't like the others, and by keeping you two apart, I've been the one hurting you. I am so sorry, Tash. I was so concerned about you having your heart broken again, that I didn't pay attention to how happy you actually were. I'm sorry and I promise you that as long as you are happy with him, I will never try to interfere again."
Tasha smiled as she blinked back the tears in her eyes, "I'm trying not to cry because Leslie will kill me if I screw up my makeup." They both laughed before Tasha took Stephanie's hands in hers. "Thank you, Steph. For caring enough about me to try and keep me from getting hurt. Now that I know the real reason you tried to come between us, I'm not mad. I'm really very touched. You are without a doubt my closest friend here, you are a sister to me; and I would not have lasted as long as I have in this business, if you hadn't had my back for all of those years.
I may get mad for a short time, but I will never hate you for trying to protect me. We're a family here, we take care of one another, that's what makes this company so great to be a part of. We may fight, cuss each other out and say some nasty things when the cameras are rolling; but when they turn off, we're right back to being the family we are. You and I have had some epic battles over the years, and it's because we're so close, that makes them that good. I love you, Steph, nothing will ever change that."
"I love you too. And don't worry, I'm on board with my dad and Paul about getting you and Colby together." Stephanie laughed before the two women hugged it out.
When they parted Stephanie jumped up with a smile, "I almost forgot, I printed the designs that you made for Seth. What do you think?"
She held up a black shirt that had Seth's SR logo on the front in gold, and on the back it read "Don't sell out, buy in."
"I think they turned out great!" Tasha said with a smile.
"Well, you do have an eye when it comes to designs, Tash." Stephanie said as she tossed her the shirt. "As well as storylines, matches and epic feuds. There's a reason why my dad and I covet your opinions. One day you could take my spot."
"NO way." Tasha said with an adamant shake of her head. "Cause that means you will no longer be here and I will not stand for that. You can't leave me."
Stephanie laughed, "I promise it won't be for a very long time."
The two friends hugged, the tension around them gone now that they had cleared the air between them.
"Hey my heart, check it out, your new merchandise design. What do you think?" Tasha said with a smile as she walked into the locker room, holding up Seth's new shirt.
Colby grinned as he read the back of it, "That is awesome. You are amazing, baby."
"Well, thank you, Mr. Rollins." Tasha said with a laugh as she handed him the shirt so that he could put it on. She then pulled him down for a kiss as the show kicked off on the TV before them.
The show got underway in Sioux City with Hulk Hogan once again starting off the show as the special guest GM of Smackdown. As he was out in the ring talkin to the Universe he was interrupted by none other than the loud-mouthed, self-proclaimed future of the company, Seth Rollins.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Immortal, Hulk Hogan!" Seth smirked as he walked down the ramp towards the ring with his lackeys J&J in tow as usual. "A champion, man. A Hall of Famer, if you would, thank you." He said as he passed off his briefcase to Joey Mercury before climbing into the ring.
"The physical embodiment of Wrestlemania, Hulkster, I just wanted to come out here and shake your hand, sir." He paused in front of the legend and held out his hand, Hulk looking at it warily like one would a venomous snake.
The two shook hands, Seth holding on a little while longer as he told Hulk, "Man, all those accomplishments people might start calling you the Seth Rollins of the 80's, right? Hey, hey, hey, hey, all joking aside…" He couldn't finish his sentence as the crowd starting booing him and chanting "you sold out." It was bad enough to hear that on any other day, but it tweaked Seth to hear it from his hometown crowd.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, all joking aside. Look, I just—I wanted to tell you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I mean, you're one of the main reasons that I even got into this business to begin with. But I got to tell ya, you don't belong in this ring anymore. Because this ring belongs to me. So if you don't mind…"
"Oh, I do mind." Hulk says cutting Rollins off. "And unlike The Authority, I have the power and I'm running Smackdown whether you like it or not, brother."
"Hey, don't you brother me, brother, don't you brother me. That's exactly why I'm out here, this entire place, RAW and Smackdown, it's all been in the dumps since The Authority got ousted from power. No, no, no, you guys know better, right? Let's take two of the smartest business people that I have ever known, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Two people who have the guts to make the hard decisions, two people who know what's best for business, knew what's best for business, and still know what's best for business; let's take them out of power and let's replace them with, oh, I don't know, maybe a carnival side show like you, Hulkster. Because that makes a whole lot of sense right?
And look, don't get me wrong, you're a legend, no doubt about it, Hall of Famer, I get it. But you have no business in MY business. And as the undisputed future of WWE, trust me when I tell you, this is my business. Hey, if you're gonna be out here, if you're gonna be out here, you're gonna be the General Manager, why don't you spend your time doing something worthwhile like maybe… telling the entire WWE Universe who is going to lead this company into the future. Ha, ha, ha. That's right, how about you, the Immortal one, Hulk Hogan, the icon, endorse the future of the WWE, Seth Rollins. And then when you're endorsing me, maybe then you can come to the realization that it's almost 2015, Hulkster, you don't belong in this ring and you can take your ass out of it, huh?"
"Well, you know, the way it's starting to feel in here, I don't even know if you're gonna make it out of this very ring right now. And as far as the future goes, well, I just don't know if you're the guy that really…"
"Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, if—I'm Mr. Money in the Bank, Hulkster. I'm the standard bearer of WWE, who else is gonna lead this company into the future? Let's be real here, all right?"
"Well, off the top of my head, I can think of a bunch of different people. Oh, like who? Like who? Well, let's say, maybe, the guy beat you at Survivor Series or the guy that just beat you last week on Smackdown, Dolph Ziggler, brother?"
Dolph Ziggler came out to give his two cents, while up in the concourse Siren walked beside Roman up to their entrance point, once there she removed her sweater and handed it to one of the guards as Roman wet down his hair. He looked up and smirked as he saw her shirt, "Very nice, I like it."
Siren smiled as she brushed invisible dust off of the front of the shirt, "I thought Rollins would like it."
"You love getting under his skin don't you?"
"It's the little things that make life worthwhile." She laughed.
The two of them heard Big Show coming out to the ring and threatening to punch Hulk and Ziggler, they knew that was their cue and waited for their music.
Just as Big Show climbed up onto the ring apron, Roman Reigns' music sounded and the big dog made his entrance; his massive muscular frame walking intimidatingly just behind Siren as they headed down the stairs through the crowd. The Universe cheered as Siren knocked fists with them, her eyes locked on Seth as she climbed over the barricade and into the ring; taking a microphone from the techs she saw Seth glaring at her shirt.
"Do you like my shirt, Seth? I thought The Shield logo needed a little revamp, you know since I only have two hounds now."
Seth glared as he looked at the shirt, the logo with the three hounds fists joined together on the front, only over his fist there was a large red circle with a diagonal line through it.
She smirked as she settled back in between Dolph and Roman, proud of getting under his skin once more; Roman then addressed the two men with a large smile both of them cowering on the apron safely behind the ropes.
"Big Show, don't come through them ropes unless you want to get hit in the mouth again." Roman then motioned to Rollins and J&J. "Especially in front of your wife and kids."
Seth cusses at Roman as he moves to climb into the ring, but J&J stop him as they grab onto his legs to prevent his entry.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you guys think?" Hulk hollers to the crowd. "I mean, what do you guys think about Seth Rollins and the Big Show, taking on Dolph Ziggler and Roman Reigns, brother?"
The crowd goes crazy, Siren gives a scream of joy as she puts her hands on Dolph and Roman's shoulders, bouncing up and down with happiness as the three of them laugh.
"Well, since Hulkamania is running Smackdown tonight, unlike The Authority, I give the people what they want. So Seth Rollins and the Big Show, the last thing I got to say to you guys, is what you gonna do when Dolph Ziggler, Roman Reigns, Siren, my maniacs, and the WWE Universe runs wild on you two!?"
Siren stands beside Roman as they taunt Seth, Roman motioning that he was gonna whoop his ass and then him and Siren were gonna go drink some beers. Seth kept running his mouth and Roman mocked him by making a yapping mouth with his fingers.
Due to his actions earlier in the night in attacking Ryback, Rusev was forced to defend his championship; the only question was, who would be his opponent?
As Rusev and Lana stood in the ring waiting, familiar music rang throughout the arena and the crowd went ballistic. Siren and Ambrose were all smiles as they bounced out onto the stage while the fans cheered. They climbed into the ring, Dean climbing up the turnbuckle right beside Rusev to pander to the crowd, Rusev and Lana looked less than pleased that he was their opponent.
Siren climbed up and sat down on the turnbuckle opposite them, Dean standing in the corner in between her legs as she rubbed his shoulders, giving him inspiration while Jojo announced the match.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this next match is for the United States Championship! Introducing first the challenger, being led by Siren, from Cincinnati, Ohio, weighing in at 225 pounds, Dean Ambrose!"
Dean pulled off his sweater and handed it to Siren as they both held up their fists. Siren climbed down from the turnbuckle, knocking fists with Dean before she took her place at ringside as the match got underway.
Ambrose immediately to the fight to Rusev surprising the big Russian with his resilience and power. Siren could see Dean powering through the match as the minutes ticked by; he was nowhere near 100% after his street fight against Bray Wyatt on RAW just four days prior. But just as Ambrose always did, he found a way to keep going, to keep fighting. This was just one of the many reasons why Siren loved having him as a client, he never gave up and fought until he couldn't move.
"Come on, Dean, you've got him reeling. Keep it going!" She yelled, clapping as she cheered her brother on.
After delivering a clothesline from hell, followed by an elbow drop from the top rope, Siren was sure that Dean was seconds away from winning the title. That was until the fight spilled outside of the ring and Bray Wyatt appeared and leveled Dean with a straight arm across his throat. He then tossed Dean back into the ring and locked Dean up looking for Sister Abigail. But Dean fought him off, both men ending up back outside of the ring, where they proceeded to throw one another over the announce table; Ambrose ended up inside the timekeepers area. As Bray approached him, Dean nailed him in the face with a steel chair. Bray retreated back up the ramp to safety as Dean crouched down in the ring holding his left shoulder.
Siren rolled into the ring to check on him, laying her hands on his shoulder. "Are you okay?"
"Right as rain, darlin'." He smirked as he hugged her into his side, placing a kiss on the top of her head.
The two of them went backstage to the locker rooms, Siren going to catering to grab a few waters for her guys. On her way back to them, she high-fived Roman's cousins Jimmy and Jey as they headed up for their match. After giving Roman and Dean their waters she headed to Seth's locker room, he was sitting on the couch watching the Uso's tag match.
She sat down beside him and handed him the water, he gave her a mock glare as he glanced at her shirt. "I hate you sometimes."
"You love me and you know it, Cole." She smirked as she kissed him. "I keep you on your toes."
"That you do, baby." He said with a chuckle as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
Once the match was over they headed up to the curtain for the main event, Seth giving Siren a wet sloppy kiss that had her laughing and shoving him out the curtain as his music played. She shook her head as she made her way up to the concourse to meet up with Roman, wiping the slobber from her lips as she joined him.
"Let's go have some fun." She said with a grin as she knocked fists with Roman as they walked through the curtain.
Dolph Ziggler was already down there awaiting them, smartly choosing to wait outside of the ring until his teammate arrived. Siren led Roman down the staircase; the two of them knocking fists with the fans as they made their way to the ring. Hopping over the barricade and joining Dolph on the outside.
Together they climbed through the ropes, Rollins and Big Show backing up to their corner; as Roman climbed up the turnbuckle and raised his fists to the crowd.
As the bell rang to start the match, Dolph and Seth kicking it off, Siren stood by the corner; her left leg up on the steel steps as she leaned her arms onto her knee whilst she spoke to Roman.
Dolph was in control of Rollins as he tagged Roman into the match, but Seth quickly broke free and retreated back to his corner, shaking his finger at Roman before he tagged Big Show in.
"Pussy!" Siren yelled out to him as he cowardly tagged himself out. She knew that he'd only tag back in after Roman had been beaten down by the 7 foot giant.
As Roman fought it out with Big Show in the ring, Rollins tagged himself back in, just as Siren knew he would thinking it would be better for him. But Roman gained the momentum quickly as he took control of Seth, tossing him into their corner before he tagged the showoff in.
Dolph took the fight to Rollins, delivering a neck breaker, followed by a shot to the heart and then a drop kick that knocked Seth to his ass. But quick thinking and interference by J&J gave the upper hand to Rollins once more. Big Show was then tagged in once again as he proceeded to decimate Ziggler; but he was taken aback at the fight that Dolph still had in him. No matter how much Show beat him down, Dolph simply wouldn't give up.
Siren and Roman were smiling and egging the crowd on as they were chanting derogatory terms to Big Show. Show's distraction gave Ziggler the opportunity to deliver a huge Famouser to the big man, giving him ample opportunity to tag in Roman, just as Rollins tagged himself in.
"Tear him apart, Rome!" Siren yelled as Roman immediately took the fight to their former friend. He had Seth on the mat and was setting up for the Superman punch when J&J decided to interfere. As Noble distracted the referee, Seth rolled out of the ring while Mercury grabbed hold of Roman's leg in the other corner.
With the referee distracted Roman drug Mercury into the ring, yanking him to his feet before clotheslining him over the ropes. Siren climbed through the ropes on the other side and hollered to Roman, "Hey Rome! Aleoop."
Rome smirked as he bent over and dropped down to one knee, it'd been awhile since they had done this and the crowd was gonna love it. Siren ran across the ring and jumped up onto Roman's back, the big dog then shoved himself up to his feet, subsequently launching Siren over the ropes.
The crowd screamed and cheered as Siren was launched at least five feet above the top rope, rotating her body over into a front flip, she crashed down on top of Mercury driving him to the floor. She quickly rolled to her feet just in time to see Rollins slither up behind Roman and attempt to wrap him up for a pinfall. The big dog managed to fight out of the pin, only to be kicked in the face by Rollins; Seth then went for another pin, but Roman was able to power out of it at 2.
From then on it was an all-out melee as Show came into the ring, grabbing Roman by the throat. But before he could deliver a choke-slam, Dolph slid inside and delivered a super-kick to Show's face; before Roman then hit him with a nasty spear.
Seth then tossed both Roman and Dolph outside of the ring, J&J immediately attacking the big dog while the ref fought to keep Rollins in the ring, thus causing him to not witness the interference. Once J&J had incapacitated Roman, Seth suicide dove out of the ring nailing Roman and driving his back into the barricade.
He grabbed Roman and tossed him back into the ring before climbing up on the apron; he directed J&J to keep Dolph and Siren out of the way while he dealt with Reigns. But Siren managed to fight off Noble, she ran over reaching out like she was gonna pull Rollins off of the apron. But in actuality she knew that Rollins would jump back into the ring to avoid her and that's what she wanted. As Seth did just as she thought and jumped back over the ropes into the ring, he turned around only to be hit with a devastating spear from Roman. The big dog then covered him as the ref brought his hand down; Siren counting along with the fans.
"1, 2, 3!"
She cheered before climbing into the ring and jumping into Roman's arms in celebration. After he set her down she held up his and Dolph's hands, the arena cheering as Smackdown went off the air.
