A/N: I'm so sorry it took me so long to get the chance to post this. I know, I'm a horrible person School just started up a last week and homework is kicking my ass, so as you can imagine, I didn't have time to update. Anyway, I hope that you guys haven't lost interest and still enjoy this. Anyway, enough of my blabbing, get to reading. I have a feeling this chapter is gonna be interesting to you... Well, at least I hope so.


Dean and Seth watched the ending of Paige's match in the secluded office they had chosen for the night – after seeing that the match was proceeding well, they walked back. Paige held Natalya in the Ram-Paige and it looked like the blond was in severe pain. Dean rubbed his chin and anticipated Natalya's submission, hoping that it would be soon or else the frustration on Paige's face would turn to anger. He knew that she wouldn't be able to hold her temper considering how her week had been unfolding. Seth sighed in frustration from where he had decided to sit during the match.

"C'mon… tap." The younger man seemed to be anxious for the match to be over. He had never been the type to watch divas matches – none of the members of the Shield had been – but there they were. Seth raked his hands through his hair before he started gnawing on his finger nails – a habit he thought he had beaten. He looked up at Dean from his seat and his eyebrows furrowed, "How are you not worried?"

Before he could answer, Natalya tapped to the submission hold and Paige savagely grabbed her hair and shoved her away, causing her face to smack into the canvas. Dean smiled a little to himself and praised the Raven Haired woman silently. He turned to Seth; with his right hand tucked between his left elbow and side, he point to the TV monitor, "Calm down, she just won." He himself was anything but calm, the anticipation for what could and probably would happen after the match was bothering every cell of his being. Even though they could see the entire match had gone smoothly and Paige was uncharacteristically celebrating with the crowd – Dean was unnerved. He was a very analytical person, and it was bothering him that he had envisioned something bad happening during the match. But he was grateful there were no incidents.

But unfortunately, he was right to be unsettled. Much like he had anticipated, AJ jumped up from her seat and circled the ring. Seth groaned and his nostrils flared, "This can't and won't end well. Let's go out there." Dean shook his head, obviously not agreeing with Seth's request.

"No," he licked his chapped lips, "You heard her, we stay here." He didn't want to abide by her demand, but he knew that it would only make her pissed at them because from what it looked like, AJ was about to provoke her. And Paige was more than capable of handling the manipulative Diva's Champ.

"None of this is a part of the damn show." Seth nearly growled, and he was making himself angrier and angrier as time went on, "And where the hell is Reigns with Kaitlyn?"

"Damn..." Ambrose muttered; he had completely forgotten that Roman was gone. Which never happened. He didn't know where they had gone off to, but he was sure that the Samoan man was capable of defending himself and Kaitlyn.

The two champs were distracted again, when they saw AJ nod at Big E. and perch herself on the announcer's table. Big E. jumped onto the ring apron and Seth tensed, "Why is she still in there?!" He stood up from his seat and stepped beside Dean.

"She's not one for running…" He growled in anger and frustration, "Screw the rules, let's go."

Before they could both reach the door, they heard Dolph's entrance music. However the older man didn't appear on the ramp, he jumped the barricade. It was odd to say the least. Unlike what they had expected, the bleach blonde didn't attack Langston.

Seth squinted his eyes, "What the hell?" He looked up from the screen to find that the door was opened and the U.S. Champion was nowhere in sight.


Paige's brown eyes burned from their lack of moister. She hadn't blinked since Big E. entered the ring. She was nervous and her palms were sweating. Where the hell are the guys? She watched as Big E stepped closer to her. He actually wasn't that much taller than her – he was about 5'11 – but muscle and build wise, he was huge.

She had never been much for prayer, but she found herself praying to every god she had learned about in school. Because only Zeus knew how she was about to make it out of that ring in one piece. She started to worry if the rest of the Shield were coming because after 5 minutes of standing in the center of the ring staring up at the man in front of her, she figured that she was alone. But then again, she had been the one to demand that she be in the ring be herself, but she didn't expect them to listen. They were the three male members of the Shield for crying out loud.

Just as she thought her life was about to be in grave danger, she heard Dolph's music and saw him running through the crowd. She had to fight the slight smirk on her face because she was fairly certain that she was going to be okay now. She hesitantly looked away from Big E for a couple seconds only to see that Dolph was getting into the ring. The blond man stood between them and Big E looked at his mentor angrily, "What the hell are you doing?"

Sierra

Hotel

India

Echo

Lima

Delta

SHIELD!

The look on the Heavy's face was priceless, and Dolph played along. They both looked angry but Paige was smirking. Soon, she was being flanked by Dean and Seth. They all stared at each other and much like all the men had expected, Paige wasn't leaving the ring. She looked at Dolph and her smirk deepened into an almost sinister smile, "Now is the time to prove yourself."

Dolph nodded and he stood before Big E, the former NXT Champion was confused and angry, feeling betrayed. But AJ was voicing both their anger in shrieks and shrill screaming. Funnily, she did all that from the outside of the ring and didn't dare even placing a finger on the ring apron.

What happened next shocked everyone in the ring and in attendance. Dolph turned and punched Dean square in the face, effectively opening the flood gates that held back violence. ALL HELL WAS ABOUT TO BREAK LOOSE.
