Words: 12,000+

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'RAW'

Next week on Raw, Morgan was in the ring, ready to go up against Alicia Fox once again. Their rivalry was picking up and the crowd was enjoying their chemistry together in the ring.

"As you can see, we are getting ready for some diva action. Here we have the lovely Morgan Lopez set to go one on one with Alicia Fox, again." Cole said.

All of a sudden, while Morgan was warming up in the ring, she saw The Shield staring at her from afar in the crowd again which made her a little nervous.

"Oh no, it's The Shield." King exclaimed.

"What are they doing here, now?" Cole looked on.

Morgan turned her focus to the three men in the crowd. Ambrose had his arms wrapped around himself, staring at her, hard. Harder than he was last time and it seriously began to creep her out. The look just read bad news and she wanted nothing to do with him at all.

"Just look at that stare from the eccentric Dean Ambrose. Disturbing..." Cole pointed out

"I am not liking the look he has been giving Miss Lopez," King added

"I hope Morgan doesn't get distracted. She needs to have her head in the game. Alicia will take full advantage of that just like last time," JBL warned. "She knew the consequences after what she said. She needs to deal with it,"

During the match, Alicia takes control of Morgan, putting her in a headlock submission. Meanwhile, Dean was slowly walking down the steps to get a closer look at the match,

"Morgan better watch it. Ambrose is very unpredictable." Cole warned.

As the match went on, she fought back and gave Alicia a couple of clotheslines before jumping on the middle rope and attacking her with a crossbody. She waits for Alicia to get up so she can hit the backfire on her and pin her for the win. Morgan celebrates as the ref raises her hand. She gets on the top rope and does her taunt. But then she sees Ambrose jumping over the barricade. Not taking any chances on what he might do, she quickly slides out of the ring and cautiously walks backward, up to the stage.

Meanwhile, Ambrose watches her go as he stands at the end of the ramp. It was something about that look on his face that made her question how cautious she should be.

"What is going through the mind of Ambrose?" Cole asked

'Smackdown'

"We get to see some diva tag team action. Who do you think will win?" Cole asked as Aksana and Tamina were getting ready to face Morgan and Kaitlyn in the ring.

"I'm just curious to see if Morgan will break. Can she handle any more distractions?" JBL wondered.

"We'll have to find out,"

Later on in the match, Kaitlyn tries to make a tag to Morgan but then The Shield walks down to the barricade.

Distracted once again, she turned around to begin yelling at them, oblivious to the fact that Kaitlyn was dropped down with a Samoan drop by Tamina, "Oh my God! Go away! Just go away!" she exclaimed

Aksana runs into the ring and knocks Morgan off the apron as Kaitlyn gets pinned.

"1!" "2!" "3!"

"Here are your winners! The team of Aksana and Tamina!" Justin announced

The Shield looks on in delight as Morgan holds her neck and starts to look disappointed in herself. This had got to stop. This was becoming really bad for her and it's starting to affect Kaitlyn now.

"You're nothing, Morgan! Nothing!" Seth yelled at her.

"You need The Shield!" Ambrose yelled afterward

Running her hands through her brown hair, Morgan starts to break down, getting angry about the situation.

"Morgan was going to break sometime. She can't take the heat." JBL stated

'Backstage'

"Look, Kaitlyn, I'm sorry!" Morgan wiped the frustrated tears from her eyes, from earlier. "It's my fault."

"Look I know that The Shield has been causing you problems, but I don't want this to affect our matches. You need to get your act together. Don't make them control you like that. You need to fix this situation before it ends up ruining you." Kaitlyn stormed off, clearly still upset that they had lost the match.

Morgan let out a sigh and nodded. She had a point. A good point. Maybe TLC will be the time to change things.

'TLC'

"Kaitlyn," Morgan called out, meeting up with her, backstage in the diva's locker room

"Hey, Morgan." Kaitlyn smiled. It looked like her annoyance from Smackdown had gone away.

Morgan ran her right hand through her hair and sighed. "Look, I'm sorry about the tag match. I just, I've gone through a lot with The Shield and­-"

"Morgan, I forgive you. But you really need to fight back. You cannot let these men torment you like this, any longer. You need to do something. You need to do something, tonight. Not tomorrow, not next week, not next month. You need to show people that you belong here and that you can take the heat. Okay?"

Abruptly, Alicia Fox walked up to them with a smirk. "It's funny. I guess I can agree with The Shield on why they keep messing with you. You don't belong here, that's why."

Morgan rolled her eyes at her bogus comment.

"Look just leave her alone, okay? She's dealing with enough." Kaitlyn defended her.

"Really? It seems that she wants to whine and complain about her matches and The Shield but she doesn't do anything. She's a little baby and a­-" Alicia ended up shrieking after getting struck with a stinging slap to the face by Morgan and then speared to the floor.

Morgan starts uploading on her with punches as Kaitlyn tries to pull her off, yelling her name to get her to stop.

"I'll show you that I can do something!" Morgan yelled, getting pulled away from her by refs, as the segment ended. The camera goes back to the commentators.

"Morgan has been out of it," JBL said in shock. "She just exploded out of nowhere!"

"I don't blame her. She's been frustrated with The Shield and now has to deal with Alicia." King replied, understanding her feelings.

"Yeah. And on Twitter, Morgan tweeted, 'The Shield has tormented me for too long. Now it's time for payback. #Revenge #MorganVsTheShield'. I wonder what that means." Cole pondered. "Well, let's get ready for the WWE diva battle royal for the pre-show."

Eve comes out with the Diva's championship and she does the princess wave and gets on commentary. The divas walk out in their Christmas attires. Morgan and Kaitlyn wear similar outfits as Morgan wears red pants and a black top but with no hat. She always enjoyed themed matches like this. Getting to dress up in cute outfits while wrestling was always enjoyable to her.

During the match, it was down to Tamina, Morgan, Kaitlyn, and Naomi. Dean decides to walk through the crowd and watch Morgan in her match. No matter what it seemed like he'd do everything he could to watch her up close and personal. Not even Rollins and Reigns were this frequent. And it was starting to spark speculation on his true intentions.

"Uh oh. Not Ambrose again." Cole looked on.

"What does this man want with Morgan? This is getting ridiculous. Rollins and Reigns aren't even out here," King exclaimed.

"You don't think Morgan caught his eye do you?"

"If she did he's being extremely creepy about it. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that crazed man,"

"I think he just finds her an easy target to mess with. She falls for it every time," JBL added

Morgan turns her attention to the crowd and rolls her eyes. Ambrose...again. What were the odds?

"You really are starting to piss me off." she pointed him out, clearly distracted.

Tamina takes advantage and tosses her out of the ring as the crowd boos.

"Dean just cost Morgan the match!" King cried as she stormed backstage to follow where he went in the back.

The cameras managed to follow her as she had enough and wanted to confront the man.

"Where are you? Where the hell are you?" she exclaimed and ended up finding a dark area. She decided to walk near it and there he was. Ambrose, smirking at her while leaning on the wall

"Well...it's the rose with thorns. I know you're angry, but I wouldn't worry about that, now."

"Why not?" She demanded

"Look up." he beckoned as they looked up to see a mistletoe over them.

"You're not funny," she retorted and yanked the mistletoe down, tossing it on the ground. "And never in a million years. I'm getting so tired of your mind games. If you want mind games, I'll show you mind games."

"You're putty in my hands, Morgan. You're an easy target."

"Putty? I'll make sure that you and your boys are broken by my hands. Watch your back," she declared and walked away

"I love a woman that's feisty," he called out, watching her leave

Morgan tweets 'Shield...you're gonna get what's coming to you. #MorganVsTheShield'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Catering'

Melanie was looking at her phone and then Jon sat down next to her after getting settled from their segment together

"What's up?" He greeted, having a bottle of water in his hands.

"Hm...thinking about your match. Just can't wait to get involved." Melanie looked up and smiled. "It's a big opportunity. I'm excited for it,"

Jon chuckled. "I'm sure. I know you can't wait to kick my ass."

"Of course. It's always fun. Hey, have you seen any grapes around here?"

"Aw man, we got the grape monster." Colby (Seth Rollins) said as he walked over to take a seat.

"Haha, Kaitlyn posted a photo of me on Twitter eating a lot of grapes and said Behold! hashtag Morgan The Grape Monster! It became a huge hit," Melanie said, sharing a laugh with the boys. "Now if you excuse me, I need to find some grapes."

"She's so goofy!" Colby exclaimed as they watched her leave

"Typical Melanie." Jon shrugged. "What are you gonna do?"

'Later'

During The Shield's match with Team Hell No and Ryback, Morgan walks out with a black tank top that says 'Nonbeliever' and blue skinny jeans with heels. She watches The Shield's first match with a frown on her face. She was infuriated and she was ready to get even. Let's see how they like it with the distractions.

"What is Morgan doing here?!" Cole exclaimed as the crowd cheered loudly for her once they noticed her.

"I got a good feeling about this! But The Shield seems to ignore her." King mentioned as The Shield turned their attention to her.

"Bad move. Morgan is very unpredictable in this position." JBL stated.

Morgan stands at the end of the ramp, watching the match as she sees Ryback on the Spanish Announce table while Dean and Seth are taking care of Daniel Bryan in the ring.

"As you can see, Roman Reigns is making sure the big men don't get in the ring. Good strategy." Cole pointed out

"The Shield is absolutely just manhandling Daniel Bryan." King exclaimed.

Morgan looks at Dean and Seth but then turns her attention to Roman. She starts walking towards him with the crowd getting behind her, watching in anticipation. She grabs Roman by the arm and turns him around. Before he had a chance to yell at her for interfering, she kicks him right in the nuts making him groan loudly in pain and fall to his knees

"Ah!" King yelled in a high-pitched voice.

"Ohhhh boy!" JBL exclaimed. "Here we go!"

"Oh, man, Roman. You don't look so good, dude. You all right? I'm sorry, did that hurt?" Morgan asked in a fake concerned tone and lifted up his chin. "I'm sorry, let me take you out of your misery, all righty? All righty."

She smiled and then proceeded to drop him down with a hard spinning kick to the face. Her heel definitely made the impact worse.

"This has to feel good for Morgan. She even said 'Win or Lose, I will get my revenge on The Shield tonight.'" Cole recapped as the crowd chanted her name. "The WWE Universe is enjoying this!"

"One down, two more to go." Morgan informed the crowd as the fans in front of her were saying 'Yeah! Morgan! Get em!'

She goes back to the ramp and sees that Kane recovered and jumps off the table that was on top of the turnbuckle, to hit Ambrose with a flying uppercut. Roman recovers and gets in the ring, only to be attacked by Kane but then Ambrose gets the upper hand on him.

"I really want to know who is next on Morgan's list. I can't even focus on the match without staring at her." King said, watching her as she put her hands on her hips, resembling Chyna.

"We're all curious and we'll get our answer soon," Cole says with anticipation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The WWE fans on Twitter tweet:

'WWEMorgan101 really can fight with those heels. Never get on her bad side. #MorganVsTheShield.'

'This is even more fun to watch with Morgan on standby! Loving this potential rivalry with her and The Shield!'

'The Shield dun F'ed up, this time! Don't mess with Morgan!'

'Morgan is so dumb for doing this. Watch this backfire on her! Pun intended'

'Reigns looks so mad at Morgan. I know he wants to attack but gotta focus on the match and help his teammates lmfao'

'The hands on her hips. I see so much of Chyna right now. I love it,'

'I'm not quite convinced yet on Morgan being a threat to The Shield but giving it a chance to see what develops'

'What is Morgan going to do next?! I hope she goes after Rollins.'

'I love Morgan's shirt! I hope WWE Shop has it. #Nonbeliever'

'The Shield will totally get their revenge on Morgan!'

'I think Roman got a cut on his cheek! Was it from her heel??'

'Nah! Team Shield!! They need to take her down wtf! How dare she do that to Roman!?'

'Noooo can she join them instead? I want to see her and Dean together!'

'She kicked the hell out of Reigns! #BadAssMorgan'

'Morgan does not know who she is messing with. She better watch out!'

'I need my Ambrose and Morgan fix! I want them to fight!'

'I think Roman's cheek is bleeding. I think she cut his cheek with her heels.'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ambrose is about to suplex Kane on a chair but Kane counters and grabs his neck, hitting him a chokeslam on the chair

"Chokeslam off the chair!" Cole exclaimed and watched as Morgan smiled at the sight. "Morgan is enjoying this."

"Yeah, that's gotta do it. Cover him Kane." King said. Kane covers him but Roman makes the save to break up the pin. "There are bodies screwed everywhere."

Meanwhile, Kane and Roman are fighting outside the ring and Seth goes after Kane's leg. Morgan looks on in shock as Roman manages to spear Kane through the barricade, taking him out as the crowd chanted 'Holy shit!'

As Daniel was locking Ambrose in with the No lock, Seth ran into the ring. He ends up getting put into the No lock instead but then The Shield attacks Daniel with a 3 on 1 assault.

"Typical..." Morgan grumbled with her arms crossed.

Later on, Ambrose's leg gets grabbed by Ryback when he goes to pin Daniel and Ryback starts manhandling The Shield.

"Forget injustice, Ryback has come for Justice." Cole chuckled.

Ryback spears Dean Ambrose and starts getting ready for the clothesline as the crowd chants 'Feed me more'. After he clotheslines him, Ryback yells "Finish it!" and hits Ambrose with the Shell Shocked. He goes to pin him but Rollins and Reigns break it up

"And The Shield stays alive! Absolutely incredible!" Cole looked on, impressed

Ryback tosses Rollins out of the ring and Morgan moves out of the way to ringside. Reigns falls out of the ring too and Ryback fights them both up the ramp. The crowd cheers once Morgan grabs a chair and gets in the ring to watch Ambrose slowly scramble to his knees. She stalks him and stands right in front of him.

"Oh no. Oh no, don't tell me!" Cole began.

"Don't tell me she's about to hit him with the chair," King exclaimed.

This was something she had wanted to do for a while now and now was finally the chance. She grips the chair steadily and raises it up in the air, aiming to hit him but the impact was stopped once Ambrose caught it before it struck him.

Morgan was stunned. She thought he was out of it. How could he still be standing after all of that? As if reading her mind, Ambrose smirked at her and stood up.

"Give­-me-the chair." She tries to pull the chair back but fails to overpower his strong grip on it. He pulls it out of her hands and throws it out of the ring.

"Morgan get out of there. Dean Ambrose is very dangerous in that ring!" Cole yelled while Dean slowly rolled his neck.

Morgan decides to try to strike him in the face but he effortlessly grabs her wrist and backs her up against a corner. She tries to struggle against him but he doesn't budge. Just great. Not what she wanted at all.

"Aw~ what's the matter? Your little plan backfired? Huh?" he teased with a wicked grin.

"Back off!" she screamed and ended up kneeing him in the stomach.

He groans and releases her, stumbling back. Taking advantage, she drops him down with a backfire.

"No way! This cannot be happening!" JBL exclaimed

"Aw~ what's the matter? Your little plan backfired, huh?" She mocked Ambrose, grabbing another chair as he got back on his knees.

She whacks him right in the face and begins relentlessly hitting him with the chair as the crowd counts the chair shots.

'6! 7! 8! 9! 10! 11! 12! 13! 14! 15!' The crowd cheered.

Morgan lets out a breath and sets the chair down, in front of Dean, as he's in pain, laid out.

"She hit him over 15 times with that chair! 15! Had she gone mad!? She's gone mad, Cole! She's lost her damn mind!" JBL yelled.

"She said she was gonna get revenge, tonight!" Cole exclaimed, while she got out of the ring and went through the crowd, while Roman went to help Ambrose. Seth begins climbing up the ladder and then Morgan decides to climb it on the other side.

"Now what is she doing?" JBL looked on.

"Get down!" Seth yelled at her, visibly vexed at her becoming a nuisance for his team tonight.

"Make me." she stood her ground while Ryback started to get off the table.

"Get your ass off the ladder!"

"I don't think so, pal." She responded while Ryback started climbing up the ladder on the side where Seth was.

With all the strength she could, she managed to shove Seth off the ladder, making him fall right onto the tables as everyone yelled 'Holy shit!' again.

"Oh my gosh!" King shouted.

Morgan stares at Seth's laid-out body in satisfaction and gets down from the ladder. Happy with getting some revenge on The Shield, she makes her way backstage, not caring if they won the match after all that happened.

Morgan tweets 'I'm not done yet. Got a few more tricks up my sleeve. #FeelingEvil #Payback #MorganVsTheShield'

'RAW'

The next day on Raw was the Slammy Awards in Philadelphia and on the stage, Ric Flair was at the podium, talking about Superstar of The Year.

"But, I cannot do this without a certain Philly girl. Ladies and gentlemen! Please welcome, my girl! Morgan!" Ric announced.

Morgan got a new theme called 'Taking you down by Egypt Central' as she walked out to it with a short blue dress and low blue heels with the Philly crowd giving her a loud warm welcome.

She grinned and waved at the crowd, walking up to the podium. She gave Ric a big hug before standing in front of the podium with a bright smile on her face.

"It's so good to be home!" She yelled, earning loud cheers. "I'm so happy to be here in my hometown. Well, let's get started shall we?"

"Yes ma'am." Ric nodded

"All righty, well, let's check out who is Superstar of the year."

"WOOOO!"

"WOOOO" The crowd responded

"All right. The winner who is the Superstar of the Year is..." Ric Flair opened the envelope.

"John Cena!" they both announced and Philly exploded.

Cena's theme blares out as he walks out. After giving hugs to Ric and Morgan, he says his acceptance speech but then decides to give the award to Flair and went backstage.

"Wow. Okay then." Morgan looked confused, still in shock.

But then CM Punk's theme comes on and he walks out with crutches and with Paul Heyman holding his WWE championship.

"Oh God...great...great..." Morgan said on the mic while Ric stood next to her, closest to Punk.

Punk takes the award and moves the mic towards him. "This is completely ridiculous on multiple, multiple levels! I mean, there are so many things going through my head right now. This doesn't belong to you. You haven't even been here and the fact that you people voted for John Cena is atrocious. This has been the worst year of John Cena's life! I beat him at Summerslam! He lost last night! He's the first superstar who cashed in his money in the bank and lose! He's a loser! He's a loser just like everybody here in Philadelphia!"

Morgan shot her head up and looked at Punk. "I'm sorry, what was that?" she retorted as her hand was held by Ric to calm her down.

"He's a loser like you two!" Punk yelled. "I remember Shawn Michaels talking about how he always wanted to be like Ric Flair. Look at me, Flair! I never wanted to be you! I wanted to be me! And I did. And last year, I won Superstar of the Year. And that means this year, I'm Superstar of the Year. I am the WWE champion and have been WWE champion for 393 days! 393 days! I'm the man! Not John Cena! And not you! I'm the man!"

"Did you want to know what time it is Morgan?" Ric asked.

"It's clobberin time, that's what time it is." Punk yelled in Morgan's face.

"It'll be Morgan time if you don't get the heck out my face." She snapped back as the crowd cheered.

"Nah, I think it's time for you to go, brother." Ric Flair said to Punk. "This is Philadelphia, we're gonna rock n roll tonight man. You can't even walk."

"With one leg I can still kick your ass." Punk declared. "Come on Ric, let's talk about baggage. I will beat you and I can beat anybody up in Philly."

"Wanna try that with me?" Morgan suggested.

"Hold on Morgan. I got this. Hey Philly! Should we settle this? How about you and me?" Ric requested Punk as he took off his jacket and threw it at Punk. "Let's go, Morgan, you're coming with me."

"Sure thing," she replied and walked with Ric Flair to the ring.

"What?" Cole asked in shock as Punk started to go towards the ring. "Are we able to have Punk and Flair?!"

Ric Flair started taunting and yelling 'WOOOO' to the crowd as Morgan looked amused while she stood on the apron.

Punk gets in the ring with Paul Heyman. He slams his crutch against Flair's stomach and he bends down. Punk hits his back, breaking the crutch. He starts hopping on one leg and starts taunting Flair's walk. Flair recovers and hits Punk with a thumb in the eye, making him fall down and hold his eye. Then suddenly, Flair grabs Heyman and hits the Figure Four on him as the crowd cheers and Morgan starts laughing. Flair then releases the hold as Heyman holds his leg while Morgan gets in the ring.

'Sierra' 'Hotel' 'India' 'Echo' 'Lima' 'Delta' 'Shield.'

The Shield walks slowly down the steps. "We all know The Shield has a lot of issues with Morgan. Last night, Morgan gave a low blow to Reigns, threw Rollins 15 feet onto a table and decimated Ambrose with 15 chair shots. 15. This woman is violent." Cole exclaimed.

The Shield stands on the apron as Morgan starts taking off her heels.

"Do something." Morgan provoked.

She'll go down trying. She wasn't going to back down. The Shield look at each other and then at Morgan. Then all of a sudden, Team Hell No attacks Seth and Roman as Ric takes on Dean. But then Dean punches Flair in the face and he drops down to the mat.

Morgan quickly checks on Ric as The Shield takes care of Team Hell No outside the ring. Seth ends up sliding back in the ring and grabs Morgan from behind.

"What the hell?! Get off of me!" She shouted, trying to escape his strong grip

"You think you're going to get away from what you did last night?!" Rollins shouted.

Roman goes to the commentary table and takes off the hood. Dean pushes Flair out of the ring and turns to Morgan.

"Once I'm done with him, I'm coming after you, sweetheart," Dean told her in a menacing voice.

"Oh bite me!" she retorted, getting worried for Flair.

'Feed. Me. More'

Ryback walks out while Morgan kicks Seth in the shin as he winces in pain. Ryback ends up attacking Ambrose and then Roman. Rollins rolls out the ring to try to aid his teammates but Team Hell No joins the fight and makes The Shield retreat.

'Backstage'

Morgan is walking with Team Hell No and Flair after they helped him from Punk and The Shield.

"Thanks, you guys," Flair said and he shook hands with Daniel.

"Yeah, we finally got to The Shield. Yes!" Kane yelled.

"No!" Daniel exclaimed.

"What?" Morgan looked confused.

"Yes!"

"No!"

"What?"

"Woooo!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"What?"

"Wooo!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"What?"

"WOOO! WOO! WOO!" Ric yelled but they all stopped once they saw Ron Simmons.

A dramatic pause occurs before Ron shouted "DAMN!" and walked away, making the crowd laugh

'SuperSmackdown'

The Shield were not happy tonight. It seemed like they were sending a message to Morgan after attacking Sin Cara. The vibe was different, it seemed like they were hell-bent on making sure they got to her this time. Morgan could feel it. She was going to get caught one of these days. But no matter what she was going to get back up.

Later on the night, Morgan wins her match against Aksana but then The Shield comes out and surrounds the ring as Kaitlyn is at the end of the ramp looking scared. The three men stand on the apron, anticipating to strike.

The Philly diva let out a sigh. She then decides to go straight to Ambrose, striking him with a slap in the face.

"Whoa!" Cole exclaimed

Dean's head was to the side and still stinging from her slap, and then he slowly turned his head back to her.

Morgan quickly runs out of the ring, grabbing Kaitlyn by the hand as they sprint backstage. Before Rollins and Reigns could run after them, Ambrose raised his hand up to signal them to stop going after her. Smirking, he rubs the side of his face

"I think he liked it!" JBL exclaimed.

"What the hell is going on in that sick twisted mind of his?" Cole cried.

"I don't know but Morgan is in big trouble now."

Looking at his teammates, Ambrose began nodding and then the three men proceeded to go backstage.

"Oh-oh my God. Don't tell me they are going after them!?" JBL yelled

'Backstage'

Kaitlyn and Morgan are running and then they split up. Running near the parking lot, Kaitlyn thought she was safe. But then she lets out a scream when she gets grabbed from behind by Rollins.

"No! Get off of me!"

"No! They got Kaitlyn!" Cole yelled as they took her into a dark area backstage.

"You're close to Morgan, right?" Ambrose asked, standing in front of her, while Rollins and Roman stood next to her, staring at her with intimating expressions.

Kaitlyn was too scared to respond, so she remained silent, fearing for her life.

"I asked you a question." Dean kicked a nearby chair, making her flinch. She quickly nodded to answer. "Where is she...?"

Kaitlyn swallowed hard as fear took over her again. "WHERE IS SHE!?" Roman bellowed in anger.

"I­-I don't know." Kaitlyn whimpered, with tears in her eyes.

"You don't know...well when you see her, tell her we will get our revenge. And tell her she will believe in The Shield." Ambrose growled and let her go, watching her run away in tears.

'WWE Main Event'

Backstage, Morgan is hugging Kaitlyn tightly. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I put you in harm's way. I can't believe they did that. You have nothing to do with this. Nothing at all. You shouldn't be involved in my mess. I shouldn't have let you come out to ringside to watch my match," Morgan frowned, feeling guilty

This was not what she wanted at all. She didn't want any of her friends or loved ones getting in the middle of an issue that was only between her and The Shield. They went too far.

"It's okay. Just please watch your back, tonight." Kaitlyn advised her.

Later on, during Morgan's match against Eve, The Shield walks out as Eve quickly kicks her in the face and runs out of the ring.

It looked like tonight was the night. And there was no escape for Morgan as she was beaten down enough tonight by Eve. Once the three men get in the ring, they pick her up to prepare for the Triple Powerbomb

"No! They can't do this!" Cole exclaimed as they slam her down on the mat.

She holds her head in pain as they stand over her with their fists out while their theme comes on

"We told you we'd get you, Morgan. You will believe in The Shield." Dean yelled

"I think The Shield got the last laugh..." Cole looked on.

"Gosh, I really hope Morgan is okay," King added with worry.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fans tweet:

'Morgan finally gets what she deserves! #BelieveInTheShield'

'No way! They really just powerbombed her!'

'The Shield totally got the last laugh. #BelieveInTheShield'

'Morgan will get her revenge! She's unstoppable! #MorganVsTheShield'

'Stand up Morgan!! She'll get back up!'

'Is this the first time they Triple Powerbombed a woman!? That looked brutal af'

'Stupid Shield for triple powerbombing my favorite diva. #WEAK!'

'We all knew how this was going to go. She couldn't escape forever. Accept your fate Morgan!'

'Morgan will come back strong! #MorganVsTheShield'

'Next Week On RAW'

"On the WWE APP, we have Morgan, returning tonight who had a word with Renee Young. Let's have a look." Cole said as they show their interview on the titantron.

"Morgan, how do you feel after the Shield triple powerbombed you? Are you feeling alright?" Renee asked.

"Oh, I'm pissed. That really hurt. But tonight I feel great. You wanna know why? Because I'm still standing, I'm back and I get to kick some ass once again. The Shield cannot break me down with a powerbomb because I'm going to keep getting back up. And I'm not done with them yet,"

Morgan tweets 'Damn, it's good to be back. Shield, this isn't over. Just as my theme says. #I'mTakingYouDown! #MorganVSTheShield #PayBack"

'In the ring'

Layla's theme comes on and the divas go out in their Xmas attires. Morgan wears a red shirt that stops in the middle of her stomach and has a hoodie attached to it. She wears it with a red Christmas themed skirt with white boots with her hair out and curly at the end.

"This is a divas tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the team of Layla, Morgan, Natalya and Kaitlyn!" Justin announced and then Eve's theme came on. "Introducing the challengers, Eve Torres, Alicia Fox, Aksana and Rosa Mendes."

Natalya and Aksana start the match and then Aksana tags in Alicia and they fight. Later on, the crowd cheers loudly when Layla tags in Morgan and she gets in the ring to dropkick Alicia 3 times. She goes to the turnbuckle and hits a crossbody on her to pin her but then Eve runs in and stomps on her to break the pin. Kaitlyn comes in and spears her.

Rosa enters the ring and slaps Kaitlyn in the face but then Morgan grabs her and throws her to the ropes to get double clotheslined by her and Kaitlyn as the crowd cheers. The Divas start fighting outside the ring leaving Morgan and Alicia.

In the final moments of the match, Morgan strikes Alicia with a shining wizard

"Beautiful move by Morgan," Cole praised as she pinned Alicia for the win

"Here are your winners! Layla, Morgan, Kaitlyn and Natalya!" Justin announced

"YEAH!" Morgan yelled as she had her right hand up but then she was jumped on by her team as they hugged her to celebrate

"Morgan is back and she's back strong!" King said happily.

'Next week, Raw'

Eve is with the Divas & Mae Young backstage as Eve starts to brag about how she's beaten every diva.

"Ahem!" Morgan cleared her throat behind her as the crowd cheered when they saw her on screen.

Turning around, Eve scowled. "What do you want?" She spat.

"Beat every diva? I don't think so. Since you got the guts to brag...How about you face me in the ring...right now."

"Fine," Eve smirked and walked away

Mae Young grabbed Morgan's hand and gave her a grin, "Give that girl a beating for me, will ya?"

"Anything for you Mae." Morgan smiled

Morgan tweets 'You're going down EveMarieTorres. Let's see if you really have the guts to face me since you LOVE to brag about how good you are. #BraggerMcbragbrag #Countouts #CheapShots #Lame'

'In the ring'

After a hard-fought match, Morgan wins by the backfire. She has her right hand up in the air and yells 'Yeah!' as the crowd gets hyped. But then The Shield are shown on the Titantron.

Morgan smirks at the screen and grabs a mic. She knew they wouldn't stay away forever.

"Morgan, it seems you've found yourself again after we did the damage," Seth said, looking impressed.

"You talk about revenge and you have more tricks up your sleeve as your New Year's resolution, well, we have some news for you," Dean added out.

"Our resolution is to make sure you believe in The Shield." Roman declared.

"So go ahead. Make your plans to take us down." Dean shrugged

"But we'll be ready for your next strike. We have made sacrifices to endure your pain. We'll be ready for your next move." Seth guaranteed.

"You know...I really hate you guys..." Morgan admitted as the crowd cheered at her response. "Do whatever you want but you won't make me believe."

"We'll see...believe in The Shield." Dean said and the screen went blank.

"Back to my celebration. Who is a nonbeliever!?" Morgan asked to loud cheers as her theme came on.

"Morgan, going strong at the end of the year. Wonder what will happen in 2013." Cole pondered.

"I don't know but I can't wait. 2013 is going to be an interesting year for Morgan. I just know it," JBL said.

On Twitter, Morgan tweets, '2013 will be a good year for me. #Morgan2013 #BadAssMorgan'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the show, Celeste, Melanie and April go to the bar with the roster.

"What time is it?" April asked, anticipating New Years.

Melanie checked her phone. "11:57."

"Ugh, time needs to go faster!"

Melanie laughed "Let's take a photo." She took a picture with April and posted it on Twitter.

Celeste comes with the drinks. "All right girls!"

Nattie and Eve sit with them as well. "Ready for the countdown?" Nattie asked.

"I can't wait! I'm shaking in my seat!" April beamed

"Mel, I still can't get over your storyline with The Shield. It's really entertaining." Nattie brought up.

Melanie grinned. "Thanks. I just really want it to be worth watching."

"Oh trust me it is. More than half of the roster likes to watch it backstage." Celeste revealed.

"Wow. I feel honored." Melanie placed a hand on her heart.

"One minute!" Mike (Miz) yelled.

"Yes!" April shouted in excitement.

"30! 29! 28! 27! 26!" Everyone chanted.

"Woo hoo!" April cheered as she went to the crowd with Nattie and Eve following her.

"Getting a New Year's kiss?" Celeste asked.

"Haha, not this year. Come on." Melanie replied and they walk in the crowd, meeting up with April.

They start chanting with everyone. "15! 14! 13! 12! 11! 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Happy New Year!"

Everyone cheered and music started blasting.

"Woo hoo!" Melanie cheered and hugged the girls.

"Drinking contest!" Celeste yelled.

"I'm in!" Mike volunteered as they walked to the bar.

After dancing with friends and hanging out, Melanie bumped into Colby.

"Dude!" she greeted him with a hug as he laughed.

"Happy New Year, Grapes."

"Happy New Year to you too. Where your boys at?"

"Somewhere. Everyone is all over the place."

"Ha, can't argue with that there. I'll see you later!" she said her goodbyes to meet up with more friends to party with.

"Woo. What a night." Eve fanned herself as she sat down on a couch with Melanie after taking a break from dancing

"I know. And everyone is still dancing and it's 2:40AM." Melanie added

"Uh oh, Celeste is out of it." Eve pointed out as Melanie turned to see Celeste giggling and slipping out of her seat.

"Oh boy. I better go help her. Let's take a picture before I go?"

"Of course!" Eve said and they posed cutely

"Nice. I'll see you later. Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, girl. Be safe getting back to your hotel room!"

"You as well!"

Melanie walked over to Celeste and helped her up. "Okay, time to go."

"W-what you mean time to go? We just got here?" Celeste slurred.

Melanie laughed. "I knew this was going to happen."

"Need help?" Jon asked with a smile, finally finding Melanie after all this time

"Oh my gosh, I haven't seen you all night!" she exclaimed as she dropped Celeste to the floor, wrapping her arms around his neck. Celeste ended up groaning at the impact. "Oh-oh my gosh. I'm sorry!"

"Come on, let's take her to the car." Jon offered as he helped Celeste up with Melanie. The two walk Celeste outside and to the backseat of his rental car. "I'll drive you guys back."

"Really? I thought you were still gonna hang with the guys."

"Nah, no worries. I had enough party in me for one night."

"Wish I could say the same for this one, back here," Melanie murmured as she watched Celeste giggle like crazy. They arrive at the hotel and walk Celeste to the elevator. "So how was your night?"

"Colby threw a fit because he lost at beer pong." Jon laughed at the memory.

"Wow. Poor Colby." The Philly Diva giggled. The elevator opens and they walk Celeste to Melanie's room. Melanie opened the door and dragged her onto the bed safely and made sure a trash can was near just in case. Going back to the doorway, she looks up at Jon, "She's on the bed. She'll be throwing up a lot when she wakes up."

Jon chuckled. "Wouldn't want to be in your shoes."

"Hey! I hit you with 15 chair shots."

"Touché."

Melanie got a chill down her body and shivered. "Why is it so freaking cold in this hotel?!" She complained.

"Here, this will keep you warm," Jon handed her his hoodie

"Thanks for always looking out for me after all these years," Melanie smiled and put it on.

"Ahh, don't worry about it. You know I will always be there for you, Mel,"

She grinned and embraced him, feeling his arms wrap around her waist. "Always. Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

The two jump away from each other when they hear a thump and see Celeste at the door. "Why is the sky so blue?" Celeste slurred.

Melanie groaned. "I'm sorry, I gotta take care of this one."

Jon smiled with amusement and nodded. "Hope you survive."

"I hope so too!" she replied as she pushed Celeste inside

Melanie tweets 'WWERollins lost at beer pong. LMAO! #HappyNewYear'

Colby replies, 'WWEMorgan101 Who told you!?'

Melanie replies 'Lol, Jon. He couldn't resist. #YouLost!'

Colby replies back 'Shut up...I'll win next time. I'm gonna get my revenge on him.'

Melanie replies back 'Can't wait to see this revenge. I'm curious about who you lost to and how many times.'

Colby replies, '3...By KaitlynWWE, Jon and JohnCena...'

Melanie replies 'LMAO! I'll give you lessons and tricks on how to play beer pong. #MorganAtYourService'

Colby replies 'Lol, please do. I'll be waiting for my lessons.'

'Next morning'

Melanie is in the kitchen about to make breakfast sandwiches but hears someone knock on the door. She opens it to see Jon looking annoyed.

"Good morning. What's up?" she greeted, amused at his annoyed look.

"Morning...May I use your shower?"

"Um...why?"

"Colby took all the hot water..." he grumbled. The sour look on his face made her laugh. "It's not funny! He did this shit on purpose."

"Did you tease him about beer pong?"

"...Maybe..."

"Yep, that'll do it. Fine, go ahead."

"Thanks." Jon smiled and walked in with his bag of clothes and toiletries

Melanie walked back to the kitchen. "You want a quick breakfast? I'm making breakfast sandwiches. We got water, juice and coffee too,"

"Yeah. I'll take some. I'll take the coffee too,"

"And you like your coffee..." she started to go over how he liked it, wondering if he still liked it that way.

Jon nodded in approval, "Yep, you know me well,"

"I know. I still got it."

"You never lost it."

"Aw, you're so sweet," she grinned.

After cooking and setting up the meals, Melanie watched Jon walk out shirtless and with jeans, taking a towel off his head.

"Thanks for letting me use your shower."

"Yeah anytime. Oh wait, did you need your hoodie back?" Melanie asked since she was currently wearing it.

"You can keep that, I got plenty more."

"Awesome. I'm starting to like how cozy it is."

"It is a good hoodie. Thanks for this," he received his drink and plate of food, devouring it.

"Consider it a favor returned."

Celeste wakes up and walks to the kitchen. "Ow..my head...Whoa!" She exclaimed as she saw Jon shirtless and Melanie with him. "Am I interrupting something?"

"Nah, not really. We were just catching up," Melanie shrugged like it was the most obvious thing ever. But the way Celeste was staring at them made her realize what she thought was happening, "Oh. Oh...Celeste, it's not what it looks like. He needed to use the shower and-"

"Oh, I get it. I get it,"

Jon laughed and put on his shirt. "Let me get out of here. I'll see you later."

"Okay," Melanie replied, receiving a kiss on the cheek from him before he grabbed his belongings and left. Celeste cleared her throat. "What?"

Celeste studied Melanie's hoodie. "And who's hoodie is that?" she asked with a teasing smile.

"Jon's."

"What did you two do?"

"What? Nothing. He needed a favor."

"Oh my gosh, you two did it!?"

"No!"

Celeste laughed. "I'm just messing with ya."

"You're a piece of work, haha. You know Jon and I go way back,"

"We love strong bonds,"

"Yeah. Anyway, what had happened was Colby used all the hot water for revenge on Jon teasing him about how he lost at beer pong."

"Hahaha. I remember beating him and­-" Celeste all of a sudden started to feel sick and rushed to the bathroom.

"Oh no." Melanie groaned and ran after her to hold her hair as she threw up.

"Ugh. Thanks...no more drinking a lot on a wrestling night."

"Good thinking. As a matter of fact, great thinking."

'Next week on Raw'

Kaitlyn, who is the new divas champion, faces Alicia Fox in a match with Morgan standing at ringside to support her friend. Before the match could even begin, Alicia started to focus her issues on Morgan, expressing her dislike for the girl as she kept glaring at her.

And at one point, the Philly diva had enough and spoke up, "Eye problem?"

"Shut up!" Alicia yelled

"You're gonna hit me?" Morgan yelled back as Alicia got out of the ring to get in her face. "Do something!"

"Whoa, what's going on here?" Cole exclaimed as Alicia attacked her but Morgan started to take control of the fight and tossed her into the barricade. She then starts unloading on her on the floor. "And all hell has broken loose!"

The ref tries to pull Morgan off of Alicia. "Get off of me! I'm gonna end her!" Morgan yelled as a lot of refs ran to the ring to separate the two.

"Are we even going to have a match?" King asked.

"I don't know. These two hate each other." JBL added while Kaitlyn helped Morgan with Alicia.

Alicia starts to get taken up the ramp but then Morgan escapes the refs as the crowd cheers loudly and she runs toward Alicia to jump on her and the refs.

"Whoa!" King exclaimed.

"She just flew!" Cole shouted as the refs that held Morgan, run up the ramp to grab her and separate the two.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fans tweet:

'Alicia and Morgan went at it! #DivasGoneWild'

'Morgan went cray cray! #MorganGoneWild'

'Even though there was no Diva match, that brawl was insane'

'Did you see Morgan throw her into the barricade? Violent! Morgan is awesome!'

'Alicia stood her ground. She'll get her revenge on Morgan. #AliciaRules'

'Alicia should have focused on her match. #AliciaGotFoxed'

'Finally, a diva segment worth watching. I thought the guys only had crazy brawls like this'

'Morgan just flew like superman!'

'Beat her up Alicia! #DivasGoneWild'

Morgan tweets 'AliciaFoxy got another thing coming. This isn't over. #IWillEndYou #IWillFoxYouToTheGround #You'reGoingDownVixen

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Smackdown'

"You know, I'm kind of worried," Cole said as Morgan was wrestling Tamina in the ring.

"Why?" JBL asked

"The Shield has been quiet around Morgan lately."

"Come to think of it you're right. But The Shield said they are waiting for Morgan to strike back. But Morgan has her hands full with Alicia Fox."

"Yeah. Especially that crazy brawl they had on Raw, this past Monday."

As the match progresses, Tamina hits Morgan with the Samoan drop and then goes on the turnbuckle. She attempts to go for the Superfly Splash but Morgan moves out of the way and they are both lying on the mat, hurt.

"Morgan is still hurt from that Samoan drop. I'm surprised she found the strength to move out the way." Cole said.

"It's all about showing what you can do." JBL said.

The ref starts counting for a double knockout and they get up on 7. Morgan starts to gain momentum with clotheslines and then she tosses Tamina in the ropes. Morgan kicks her in the face causing her to fall.

"In the beginning, Tamina dominated this match and now it seems Morgan is taking control."

Morgan was about to hit the backfire on Tamina but Tamina counters and clotheslines her hard into the mat.

"Oh! Did you hear that clothesline?" Cole asks. Tamina pins Morgan but she kicks out. "And Morgan stays alive in this match-up."

Later on in a back-and-forth match, Morgan finally hits the backfire to win the match.

"Morgan wins, but will that be enough for the Royal Rumble? She is up against Alicia Fox in a Lumberjill match this Sunday." JBL said.

'Royal Rumble'

Aksana, Rosa, Tamina, AJ, Layla, Kaitlyn, Natalya, Cameron, and Naomi were surrounding the ring while Alicia was already in the ring.

"Introducing the challenger, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Morgan Lopez!" Justin announced.

Morgan comes out in her attire but wears the Nonbeliever tank top. She grins and has her right hand up and tags some hands before going in the ring. Standing on the turnbuckle, she takes off her hood, taunting the crowd again while yelling "Yeah!"

'Ding Ding Ding'

During the match, Morgan dropkicks Alicia out the ring, as Kaitlyn, Cameron and Naomi throw her back inside. After some back and forth action, Morgan runs to the ropes and is about to jump on Alicia but Alicia counters with a powerbomb.

"She knocked the wind out of her!" King exclaimed

Alicia pins her, only to get a two count, to the shock of the crowd.

"There is no way she could have kicked out from that, no way." JBL said.

"Morgan is a fighter." Cole reminded.

Later on, the heel divas start to argue with the face divas and it becomes a brawl. With the ref distracted, Alicia takes out a small bottle of hair spray and sprays it on Morgan's face to hurt her. With her staggered, she connects with the scissors kick and pins her with her feet on the ropes to win the match.

"Here is your winner! Alicia Fox!" Justin announced. Alicia's theme comes on and she gets out the ring and taunts Morgan.

"All you do is cheat huh?" Morgan grumbled as Alicia was with the heel divas at the ramp, celebrating.

"Well, Alicia wins," King says.

"But she had her feet on the ropes!" Cole exclaimed. "And hit her with hair spray! That wasn't even legal!"

"So? She still won." JBL says.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Next day, Raw'

Morgan was walking backstage but heard Paul Heyman talking to Brad Maddox. Curious, she leaned on the wall to listen to their conversation. Paul stated that he paid him to make sure Ryback didn't beat Punk for the title and the crowd was shocked.

Morgan puts her hand to her mouth as The Shield comes behind Brad.

"Paul, please." Brad pleaded.

"Please?" Paul repeats.

"I'll-­I'll leave, okay?"

"Oh stop, come on~"

"Paul, please. I'll leave."

"Shh...take this beating like a man. Come on, you wanted an experience."

"Just tell Punk, I'm sorry, and I'll go."

"Listen, I want this to be a learning experience."

"Paul please" Brad began but got attacked by The Shield. The sound of the punches and stomps made Morgan quickly leave the scene to tell a few people about what she just saw.

After the show, she tweets. 'Finally have a plan of what I want to do with The Shield. #ReadyToTakeAction #MorganVsTheShield'

'Next week on Raw'

Brad Maddox is in the ring cutting a promo on what had happened. "I am an innocent victim. I am innocent. I did the right then when I gave Vince the footage that proved that Paul Heyman was lying about me and lying about The Shield's involvement with CM Punk. So in a very,very real way...I am the hero, I am the hero of this story, it's going to be me and not John Cena! Who's gonna teach The Shield about justice. So...Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns...justice awaits you." he said

'Sierra' 'Hotel' 'India' 'Echo' 'Lima' 'Delta' 'Shield.'

The Shield walk through the crowd with microphones in their hands.

"Thanks for the invitation Brad, but we don't need one." Dean declared.

"I'm not the only one who took money from Paul Heyman!" Brad exclaimed.

"Don't even compare yourself to The Shield, nobody ever said justice was free."

"Maddox, you want to teach The Shield about justice? Do you even understand the concept of justice?" Seth asked

"Last time...it was all we're gonna take the time to enjoy this, little tiny man," Roman said with a grin as The Shield arrived at ringside.

"See we just get the feeling that maybe Brad Maddox doesn't believe in The Shield." Dean said as The Shield drop their mics and get on the apron.

"Well, this is not gonna be good for Brad Maddox." King mentioned.

"No, not at all." Cole agreed.

"He brought it on himself. I don't think he's anybody's hero."

Brad runs at Ambrose and starts hitting him but he gets jumped by The Shield.

"Brad Maddox went right after Ambrose and here we go. This is going to be a massacre."

"What was he thinking?"

"Drop him! Drop him!" Seth yelled. Roman clotheslines Brad. Then Seth and Dean pick Maddox up as Roman roars loudly. They drop him with the triple powerbomb, making a devastating impact. "Believe in The Shield!"

John Cena's theme comes on as the crowd cheers. But he comes out from the crowd as The Shield looks at the ramp. "Hey! Look! Cena!" Cole exclaimed. "Cena, entering the way The Shield does."

'Feed! Me! More!'

Ryback's theme comes on and he comes out of the crowd too. "Wait a minute!" King shouted.

"And he's got backup!" Cole yelled.

"Ryback storming through the people!"

'It's a shame that they lost their head.'

Sheamus's theme comes on and he comes out through the crowd as well. "Look at this!" King exclaimed. The Shield gets out the ring and starts going up to the ramp. "And The Shield going to retreat."

'I've had enough, I'm taking you down, I'm taking you down'

Morgan's theme fills the arena as the crowd cheers.

"Morgan said she was ready to take action!" Cole exclaims. The Shield have their guard up and watch Morgan walk down the ramp with a hand on her hip and an amused smile on her face. Randy and a few superstars follow her from behind. "It's Randy and company!"

The Shield gets back in the ring

"They got nowhere to run!" King pointed out as Sheamus, Cena and Ryback surround the ring.

Morgan comes and surrounds the ring too with her arms crossed. She was enjoying this to the max.

"The Shield have nowhere to go." Cole spoke as The Shield were back to back with each other. Cena, Sheamus and Ryback get in the ring to start fighting them. "Here we go!"

The Shield escapes and retreats into The crowd. Cena's theme comes on. Morgan grins and gets in the ring and high fives Sheamus, Cena and Ryback.

"Well make no mistake about it, The Shield got a taste of their own medicine."

Morgan tweets, 'Revenge tastes so sweet. How does it feel to have a taste of your own medicine? #MorganVsTheShield #Payback'

'Next week, Raw'

The Shield is in the ring.

"You failed John. You failed last week...You fail every day when you get up and exist! This Sunday at Elimination Chamber will be no different. At the hands of The Shield, John Cena, you will fail again." Seth guaranteed.

"That's right. He will fail because John Cena is a failure. That's why we don't like you, John. You're not just a superstar, it's not what you've done, it's what you fail to do. You smile the day away in your little bubble. You see, in your world there are no consequences, you can do or say what ever you want. No consequences. That's not the real world, that's not the world we live in. That's what we call, The John Cena problem." Dean added.

"He's the problem. He and Morgan are the problem. John has been the problem for the last decade. We! The Shield! Are the solution." Roman yelled.

"You see John...you laid the ground John, for an entire generation to believe in the system. To believe in you John! And that's why Morgan got involved. We could have made her believe in The Shield quicker if you weren't such an influence on her!" Seth exclaimed.

"And now she's running around, doing whatever she can to stop us. Chair shots...tables...LOW BLOWS, KICKS IN THE FACE...that will not break The Shield!" Roman shouted, still bitter about what she did to him at TLC.

"I'm guessing low blows and kicks in the face are touchy subjects for Roman, huh?" King asked with amusement.

"And Morgan...we powerbombed you once, don't think we'll do it again. We will make you believe. And you will watch as your little team falls to pieces." Dean smirked while Seth and Roman nod.

"And this Sunday, we will rectify a decade of injustice in one fell swoop," Seth says.

"This Sunday, we walk in together, we walk out together, You three, might not walk out at all. I suggest you three bring as much fresh air as you can now cause on Sunday, The Shield is gonna drown you. Believe that!" Dean exclaims.

"Believe in The Shield!" Roman yells and drops his mic.

"Where you at? Huh?" Seth provokes as The Shield looks around the arena.

Morgan's theme comes on as the crowd cheers. She walks out with a mic in her hand.

"I'll admit, I suffered a lot of pain from you guys but I'll tell you this..." She gets in the ring. "I've had enough of you talking all this crap about injustice. Do you think I was just going to sit there and let you guys cost me my matches, not to mention a number one contenders match for the Diva's champion?" she asked. "Since you guys claim you are the solution to the 'Morgan Problem', I haven't seen any progress because I'm still here."

"She has a point." Cole pointed out.

"I'm still here and I will stay here. Now...enough talk, more action." She dropped her mic and slapped Ambrose across the face, before unloading on him with punches.

"Whoa! Whoa!" King exclaimed. Seth and Roman grab her off of Dean and they hold her down as Dean grabs his mic.

"You think you can put your hands on me and get away with it, sweetheart?" Dean shouted

Morgan smirked. "Yep!"

"Big mistake. You're going to come out here and disrespect us? This is the real world. Expect the consequences."

"Wait! Before you do anything. I would like to say something. Well, show you. But um...it's a surprise." she said and then the lights go out as the crowd cheers.

Cena, Ryback, and Sheamus appear in the ring once the lights come on and they attack The Shield while Morgan gets out of harm's way. Sheamus and Cena throw Seth and Roman out of the ring. And Ryback clotheslines Ambrose and The Shield retreat.

"Again The Shield retreating," Cole said

"You were saying?" Morgan asked, looking at The Shield as Ambrose glared at her.

"You alright?" Cena asked her, making sure she wasn't hurt and she nodded in response, getting a grin from him.

'Raw, after Elimination Chamber'

Alicia Fox is in the ring to share her displeasure for Morgan and express why she doesn't like her. She felt like she didn't deserve to be on the main roster and was trying her best to get her to leave. Alicia began to enjoy playing mind games with the girl. And tonight would be no different.

"Hello everyone. It's your favorite fox. Alicia. Now I have to get something off my chest. Morgan should not be here. She is only still here because she wants to try to be tough and fight The Shield. All she does is whine and complain. She can't even beat me. And I would like to show her again that she cannot beat me." Alicia stated and was interrupted when Morgan walked out to the ring, unamused.

"You seriously want to do this right now? You want to call me out? Fine." Morgan exclaimed and ran to spear her as they started to fight. A ref comes and breaks it up.

'Ding Ding Ding'

"Guess we have ourselves a divas match." Cole said.

Alicia starts to hide behind the ref as Morgan tries to get her. All of a sudden, she kicks Morgan in the face as a cheap shot to win the match and she leaves the ring.

"Here is your winner, Alicia Fox!" Justin announced.

"A cheap shot to the face." Cole looked on as Morgan held her head and looked at Alicia, shaking her head in disapproval.

Morgan tweets 'AliciaFoxy Real cute, winning by a #CheapShot This isn't over'

'Next Week, Raw'

Morgan is at the ramp as The Shield are in the ring. "No matter what you do, there will be no peace in the WWE until there is justice. And honor. Morgan, you can keep trying to take us out, assemble any super team you want, create an army, but you still won't be able to stop us from doing the job we came here to do." Dean said.

"Okay, well, it looks like I have to keep trying," Morgan nodded and then Sheamus came out.

"Alright lads, you wanna fight tonight? Why don't you come up here and fight me? What's the matter? You don't have the stones? I'm standing right here waiting for you fella. I ain't going nowhere. Come on!" Sheamus said as Dean and Roman started walking up the ramp.

"You want some huh?" Roman yelled.

All of a sudden, Randy Orton comes out of nowhere, preparing to strike as Seth is alone in the ring.

"Look it, look it, look it!" Cole shouted. Randy turns Seth around and he RKOs him. He quickly leaves the ring as Roman and Dean run back to help Seth. "Randy Orton with a hit and run!"

Morgan grinned as Dean and Roman started throwing a fit in the ring. She low-fives Sheamus and says to the two Shield members, "You were saying?"

"Orton, Morgan and Sheamus outsmarting The Shield tonight," Cole said.

'Smackdown'

Morgan is walking backstage but then Alicia runs and hits her from behind, making her fall.

"What the hell?" JBL yelled as she started beating down Morgan.

"You think you can beat me!? You think you're better than me!?" Alicia yelled as she picked her up and threw her against a table.

"Whoa whoa! What the hell Alicia!?" Kaitlyn exclaimed and ran with Layla to help Morgan.

"Get out of here!" Layla yelled as Alicia walked away. "Are you okay, Morgan?"

"You going to attack me from behind though? Where did she go?" Morgan asked, rubbing the back of her neck.

"We gotta take you to the trainers." A ref said as he came to assist her. But before he could, Morgan got up and ran off to find Alicia as the crowd cheered with anticipation.

"No! Morgan!" Kaitlyn exclaimed as more refs began to run after her.

There was no way Alicia was just going to beat her down from behind and walk away untouched. Forget that. Morgan wanted to find her and get her lick back.

"Ohhhh boy!" JBL said. "I like this side of Morgan. She always wants to get the last laugh and won't go down without a real one on one fight. Not getting beaten down from behind."

'To Morgan, backstage'

"You wanna attack me?" Morgan asked angrily as Alicia was sitting down in the makeup area.

"Yeah, yeah I do," Alicia replied. "And what are you going to do? Nothing,"

All of a sudden, Morgan grabbed her hair from behind, throwing her out of her seat, and started unloading on her.

"We knew this was gonna happen!" JBL shouted as they started to brawl with each other.

"Hey! Stop! Get off of her!" The refs yelled, trying their hardest to separate the two.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fans tweet:

'Morgan just grabbed her off her chair. Go Morgan!'

'This is one of my favorite Diva rivalries now.'

'Things are getting so physical with the two! This is great!'

'Alicia kicked Morgan's ass! But then Morgan decided to attack Alicia from behind. #Weak!'

'Alicia got what was coming to her. Morgan showed her whose boss! #MorganTheBoss'

Morgan tweets 'AliciaFoxy #WatchYourBack #I'mComingForYou'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next week, Raw'

As Morgan and Alicia's rivalry was starting to intensify, the two were in the ring once again for a match.

Alicia gets the upper hand and kicks Morgan to the turnbuckle. She starts kicking her and the ref tries to pull her off.

"Alicia! Get off her!" The ref yells as she keeps kicking Morgan in the turnbuckle.

"I think Alicia really wants to hurt Morgan. I don't think she even cares they are in a match," Cole said.

"She better stop or she'll get disqualified," JBL warned.

"Ring the bell!" Ref yelled, having enough of Alicia not listening to him.

'Ding Ding Ding'

"The winner of this match as a result of a disqualification, Morgan Lopez!" Justin announced.

But Alicia keeps hitting on her and then throws her out the ring. Viciously she continued the assault by tossing her into the steel steps as the crowd booed. Dragging Morgan back in the ring, Alicia got back in and struck her down with her finisher.

"Man, that arm of Morgan is not looking so good." JBL said as Alicia's theme came on and she left the ring, proud of what she had done.

"What will happen to these two next week?" Cole asked as a few refs rushed to the ring to help Morgan.

"I don't know but this rivalry has escalated a lot these past weeks," King recalled.

Morgan tweets 'AliciaFoxy, We need to settle this once and for all. #MorganVsTheFox'

Alicia replies, 'WWEMorgan101 awwww you want to get embarrassed again? By all means. You know where I'll be'

'Smackdown'

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome, Morgan Lopez!" Lilian announced as she walked out to the ring to a big pop from the crowd.

"What's up WWE Universe!?" She asked as the crowd cheered in response. "Well, I just have to get something off my chest. I mean, it's pretty obvious that Alicia doesn't want to fight me if she keeps getting DQs and winning by cheap shots since the stupid Shield, who are cowards~ want to interfere in my matches. So it's time to settle this. I want to settle this once and for all and to prove to you that I can beat you. That I belong here and that I'm here to stay. I...want a match against you at WrestleMania."

Alicia walked out to the stage, laughing. "You're challenging me? You're on. Prepare to be foxed."

"Alicia Fox and Morgan Lopez at WrestleMania! This will be interesting." Cole said.

Morgan tweets 'Talk all the trash you want about a pointless diva's match. I'll prove you all wrong. It won't be a bathroom break #It'sAMission'

'In The Ring'

After Sheamus and Randy's match with Damien and Cody, Morgan celebrated with them.

But then The Shield's theme comes on and Sheamus and Randy look around to see if they were around the arena. But then they see the three men on the titantron.

"Randy. Sheamus. Morgan. Relax, you don't have to be afraid." Dean said.

"Or maybe you do." Seth added

"Just not tonight." Roman said with a grin.

"Rollins."

"Reigns."

"Ambrose. And you should already know that that ring you're standing in is ours and if you still don't believe that, well then you can ask the Big Show. Because on Monday night, we dropped the Big Show and we served justice to the Big Show just like we served justice to every major force in this industry. Ryback, Sheamus, Orton, Cena, The Rock, check, check, check, check, check!"

Morgan rolled her eyes and continued to listen as Seth began to speak, "You know that brings up an interesting point. We've taken John Cena and The Rock, the WWE Champion, multiple times and we've laid them out, flatten them in the center of the ring."

"Just like road kill," Roman said with a chuckle

"And yet those two criminals continue to take from us because they are the main event at WrestleMania and somehow, the most dominant force in this company, The Shield, doesn't even have a match at WrestleMania and that is the greatest injustice, I've ever heard of." Seth continued. "That's an injustice we're gonna serve ourselves. So no more games, here's what we're gonna do. You two men find a partner, any partner you want, but just make sure you pick the right partner."

Randy grabbed a mic and replied, "I'm in."

The crowd cheered as Morgan grinned in response.

Sheamus grabbed the mic. "I'll see you at WrestleMania!"

Taking the mic from him, Morgan spoke, "And I'll be at ringside. No more tricks. You three are going down this time."

The Shield smirks, satisfied with their answers. "The showcase of the immortals, now and forever becomes, The showcase of justice," Rollins said.

"At WrestleMania, you will believe in The Shield. Especially you Morgan. This time, no more running. It's time to settle this." Ambrose declared.

"Believe in The Shield." Roman signed off and The Shield's theme comes on as Randy and his crew look on.

"The Shield oozing with confidence. The question is, who is Sheamus and Randy Orton going to choose to join them on their side to go against The Shield at WrestleMania?" Cole asked.

Morgan tweets 'I'm tired of the games. Shield, you're going down. #MorganVsTheShield'

'Backstage'

Morgan was walking but Kaitlyn ran up to her. "Hey did you hear?"

"Hear what?" Morgan looked confused

"Randy and Sheamus just got attacked by The Shield!"

"What!?" Morgan yelled and quickly sprinted while the camera followed her. "Where the hell are they!? Where are The Shield!?"

"Morgan! Calm down." Booker said as he walked out of his office, hearing her yelling.

"Where are Randy and Sheamus?"

"They are with the doctors," he answered as Morgan's anger started to grow. "Hey! Listen to me! Do not lose your cool, alright? We got this handled."

"I'm afraid I can't obey that rule." She said and ran to find Randy and Sheamus.

Booker sighed. "I knew she was goin' say that..."

Morgan walked inside the trainer's room to see Randy holding his head. "Randy! Oh my gosh, are you okay?" She asked as she hugged him.

"I'm fine...Listen to me, I don't want you to get involved in this." he warned

"That's a promise I can't keep. I'm already involved. I'm stuck in the middle of this mess."

"Just stay out of trouble. I don't want anything to happen to you, kid."

"I'm sorry but I have to confront them. I can't let them get away with this," she replied with a frown. Kissing his cheek, she proceeded to leave the room.

"Morgan! Dammit...you never listen..."

"What is Morgan going to do?" Cole asked.

"We'll soon find out." JBL replied.

'Later'

When The Shield attacks Ryback, Morgan runs to the ring as the crowd cheers.

"Here's Morgan!" Cole exclaimed as she quickly got in the ring and jumped on Seth's back.

"What is wrong with her? No matter what she does, The Shield will stand tall." JBL exclaimed.

She starts to put Seth in a headlock as he tries to get her off of him. Dean grabbed her off of him and then she retaliated by slapping him. The ref holds her back as The Shield leaves the ring, holding Ambrose back.

"Damn it! You will believe in The Shield!" Dean yelled.

"No, I won't!" Morgan yelled back.

"You will!"

"I hate you!" She screamed. "Why can't you just leave them alone!? I'm the one you want right!?"

"I have never seen a diva and superstar hate each other this much like these two," Cole exclaimed.

"It has been a while since something like this has happened. I have never seen Morgan have an outburst like this," JBL added. "This woman is wild."

"What's going to happen next week?"

'Next week, Raw'

Morgan is backstage in the catering area, looking at the fruit. She is about to get an apple but Alicia slaps it out her hand.

"Seriously?" Morgan retorted. "That apple was green."

"I just didn't want you to spoil what I have for you." Alicia showed her a cake that said Good Luck. "It's a present from me. To show that you need some luck at WrestleMania. But I think it'll look better...on your face!" she yelled and threw it in Morgan's face abruptly.

"Oh!" King exclaimed

Morgan wiped the cake from her face as Alicia laughed.

"You stupid­-" She trailed off as she grabbed Alicia by her hair and threw her on the table, unloading on her with punches. It wasn't long before the refs quickly ran to separate them.

Morgan tweets 'Don't expect me to just sit there and let you throw cake at my face. Do another stunt like that again and I will #FudgeYouUp'

She also tweets 'And FYI, that chocolate cake was good! Why waste it? #NotCool #BuyingMyselfACakeTonight'

'Later'

"Ms. Lopez." Paul Heyman greeted as he walked up to her backstage

"Heyman? This is a surprise...what do you want?" She crossed her arms.

"I would like to speak with you privately, please. It's important."

Morgan narrowed her eyes. "Why?"

"I just really need to speak with you about something. It's best not to talk about it here,"

Morgan had a feeling she shouldn't have trusted him. But part of her was curious as to why he'd even approach her and what he wanted to talk about.

"Is this about The Shield?"

Heyman sighed and nodded, "I've been having some trouble with them lately and think I can find a solution to help you and your team against them. It's the least I can do after what has happened between us,"

Morgan observed him. Something still felt off. She felt it in her gut but decided to ignore it this time. And as soon as he brought up having issues with The Shield and the possibility of assisting her she wanted to see what he meant.

"Fine. But no funny business."

"I don't like where this is going. Morgan even thinks something is going on." King said

Seth tweets 'Things are about to get a little interesting. #BeileveInTheShield'

"Okay, first, weird place, and second, what do you want to talk about?" Morgan asked as she stood with Heyman in a more secluded area.

"I see you have problems with The Shield," Heyman recalled.

"Yeah, and now you're saying you have problems with them? It's funny how things come full circle. You paid them to work for you. You were dumb enough to let them do Punk's dirty work instead of Punk handling things on his own. Best in the world my ass...And the fact that The Shield agreed to work for you is stupid. And now they turned on you and you want someone to assist? I mean, seriously! What a stupid move to work with them from the start..."

"Stupid? Would you care to repeat those words?"

"Yeah. What a stupid..." She trailed off as she saw The Shield walking up behind her.

"Oh no," Cole said.

"I'm sorry, stupid what?" Heyman asked with a smile as his plan was successful.

"You've got to be kidding, me..." She murmured, shooting Heyman a glare.

She should have trusted her gut. All of this to get her alone with the three men?

"Never trust Paul Heyman," King warned.

"What's the matter? Don't want to repeat what you said?" Heyman smiled sinisterly. He watched as she crossed her arms and turned her head to the side.

At this point, she was just mad at herself for even trusting the guy. She should have known better. And once again she puts herself into tight situations. Her mouth continued to get her into trouble but she couldn't help herself but speak her mind.

Heyman began to laugh as he watched her be silent and continued, "Oh? Is Morgan Lopez getting silent around The Shield when she's alone? Shocking. It surprises me because the way you talk and do action with the other superstars shows a lot of courage. But when you're all alone with no backup... you're scared. But don't worry. You don't have to be scared."

Heyman made the mistake of reaching out to touch her face and she instantly smacked it away.

"Do not! Touch me!" She grumbled in a harsh tone.

"Oh Morgan, you amuse us all so much."

"Oh go screw yourself you fat ugly walrus."

The crowd cheered while Heyman let out a chuckle. Fed up with his laughter, she slapped him.

Heyman's face fell into shock as he held his cheek. He cleared his throat and adjusted his tie, "She's all yours, boys," he took his leave.

An awkward silence occurred as she turned her head a little, feeling three sets of eyes staring at her. She tried to make a run for it but a gloved hand grabbed her back. She grunted and turned, seeing that the hand belonged to Rollins.

"Leaving so soon?" He asked with amusement in his voice.

"Did you actually think you were going to get away with this?" Roman growled

"Just let me go..." Morgan spoke as she struggled in Seth's strong grip.

"Let you go? I believe you have some much unfinished business with The Shield." Seth recalled. "Think of this as a lesson for you to learn before you go against The Shield. Ask yourself, should I mess with these men again?"

"And ask yourself, how many injustices will I do now," Roman added.

"But don't worry, we won't hurt you. We, The Shield want to discuss something with you." Rollins reassured as Ambrose walked in front of her.

"Morgan, Morgan, Morgan..." Ambrose murmured.

"Don't do this." She shook her head.

Ambrose glanced at the camera that was still filming them. "Cut the camera off." He ordered as the camera got disconnected.

Forced To Believe-Dean Ambrose x OC The Shield Story Chapter 1- So, you wanna wrestle?

Author's Note: When I first published the story, a lot of these scenes, including about the Indies were flashback scenes later in the story but I made this first chapter to be an introduction on how Melanie got started in wrestling and how she met Jon and so on. But if you want to just go straight to her debut in WWE, you can just proceed to chapter 2. :) Also a lot of these gifs and photos are not mine. Credit to all the owners.

Word count: 10,000+

Warning: And just a warning, she has an asshole boyfriend during the Indies and there is some verbal abuse in this chapter with him just to warn y'all. And he had cheated on her and so on. 

Chapter Summary:  A young Melanie looks to her cousin to get her a job so she can build money to begin wrestling. She proceeds to meet Jon Moxley and builds a strong friendship with him while thriving in CZW.  She begins dating a fellow Indy wrestler who isn't all who he seems to be 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No!"

"Come on Mimi! I NEED~ this!" a 16­-year­-old Melanie pestered her big cousin. 

She had been asking her 20-year-old cousin to pull some strings and get her a job so she could raise money to wrestle. It had only been a couple of years ago that she found out that the Ninth Wonder of the World, Chyna, is her cousin, and began to watch any type of wrestling she could. Whenever it was live on TV or tapes, she knew this was what she wanted to do.

"You are not messing up that face of yours." Mimi huffed, sternly gazing at her cousin, ignoring her pleading green eyes.

Melanie ran a hand through her straight, dark brown hair. What would it take for her to just say yes? She really wanted this.

"Please. I really want to wrestle. I need the money so I can start learning."

"Want." Mimi corrected, rolling her eyes.

"Need!"

"Ugh. Why don't you be a model like me? Or go into business for college just like your mom wants?"

"No way! I'm tired of people telling me what I should do in life. I know this is what I want to do. I've been watching the wrestling team at school, it's so awesome! Wrestling is great!"

Mimi scoffed. She couldn't believe her ears. "Oh ho ho...so the wrestling coach is responsible for this?"

"Well remember the time I had to stay after school to make up a gym class? That's when I saw the wrestling team up close and personal. He even has a couple students that go to local independent wrestling companies! Ain't that cool? Now come on! Do this for me! I do everything for you. Return the favor. I'll even pay you in back rubs or something!"

"You're gonna be the death of me...fine. I can pull some strings." Mimi sighed.

"YES!" Melanie jumped on her for a big hug.

"Ew! Get off of me! No touching!" Mimi shoved her off. "You owe me. You're lucky you have a cousin who models and knows people. Let's go."

Just a few days later, Melanie was already working as a waitress in a local restaurant thanks to Mimi pulling some strings. The employees kept a strict eye on her, since she was only 16, and were cautious about underage drinking since there was also a bar. But after a few months, she gained their trust. Melanie enjoyed the job and was very grateful. One step further until she could finally learn how to wrestle.

During one weekend, the restaurant was very busy and crowded as 18-year-old Jon Good, Cody Hawk, and a couple of his HWA (Heartland Wrestling Association) guy friends managed to take the last available table to celebrate a good day's work of wrestling.

"Laurer, take care of that table." The manager called before walking back into the kitchen.

"No problem!" The teen made her way over to Jon's table. "Hey, dudes. What would you like?"

Everyone made their orders and then she turned her attention to Jon. "And you?" she inquired kindly.

Making eye contact with the girl, he shrugged and scratched the back of his head. "Ah, just a beer." He replied in his slightly high-pitched voice.

"May I ask how old you are?"

"18..." he let out a sigh, awaiting rejection.

Melanie observed him for a while. He looked around her age and decided to give him a break. His group looked like they were celebrating. 

She looked around and said in a low voice, "Okay, look I'll give you only two beers, max. But you gotta promise me that you won't drive if you drink these beers tonight, got it?"

Jon did a double-take at the female. He wasn't expecting that kind of answer. Nor kindness.

"A-­all right. Thanks," he answered with appreciation in his voice.

"No problem, man," she replied and turned to Cody Hawk. "I'm guessing you're responsible for everyone, tonight. Make sure he gets home safely. Don't want the dude to get in trouble with the police for underage drinking."

Cody smiled and nodded. "Yes ma'am."

A couple months later, Melanie is back at the restaurant, working hard. She still was nowhere near the amount of money to get wrestling gear, lessons, and other things, but she was still going to be persistent. She knew it was going to be hard work. Heading over to a table, she noticed some familiar faces.

Cody Hawk looked up and observed her for a couple of seconds before something clicked in his brain. "Hey, I remember you. You told my boy, Jon, to not drink and drive."

A smile came across her lips as the fond memory popped into her head. "Oh yeah! Nice to see you, guys again! How have you been?"

"Great. I see you're still working here."

"Yeah, trying to save money to wrestle."

The word wrestle made Jon's ears perk up as he turned to study her. "Really? You wanna wrestle, huh?" Jon inquired.

Melanie nodded eagerly. "Definitely. My dream is to become a wrestler. Someone who can wrestle guys, not just chicks. I want to be taken seriously. Right now I'm trying to save up money to get the gear and learn. This job has kind of been helping, but I'm grateful that it's something." she shrugged but the guys listened intently, nodding at her aspiration in approval. 

After making more small talk, she takes their orders. When she comes back, she gives them their beers and places a free beer in front of Jon. "This one is on me. Again, no drinking and driving, ya hear?"

Jon looked down at the drink, then back at her, surprised at the nice gesture. "Yes ma'am." he chuckled and thanked her as she took her leave.

"Wrestler huh? Hey, that's actually pretty cool, maybe we'll see her around one day." One of the boys said.

"She sounds serious." Another guy at the table commented.

"Very. We should give her a big tip." Cody suggested.

"Let's do it." Jon happily agreed.

After they leave, Melanie heads back to the table to clean up and sees a big lump under the check. She carefully opened it, and the sight caused her eyes to water.

"Oh my gosh." she chuckled while internally screaming in her head. She finally had enough money for the next steps to wrestle. How can she ever repay them for such a life-changing gesture?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the age of 21, in 2009, she managed to get a job at CZW, thanks to her high school wrestling coach, and began getting trained by Drake Younger. He was a CZW veteran and an awesome guy to be around. After he told her some good tips and advice on wrestling, she finally went backstage to walk around. She was nervous because this was her first time going to an independent wrestling company after her school wrestling coach got her there. She would be on her own and would have to fight her way to become a WWE Diva. It was her goal and she would have to make sure she put in a lot of effort.

She wasn't going to get into the WWE just because she was related to Chyna. You don't get a VIP pass like that. You need to work and that's what Melanie was happy about.

"Hi!" A female voice called out. Melanie turned around to smile. "Are you new?"

"Yeah. I'm Melanie Laurer."

"Hey, girl. I'm Chrissy Rivera. Nice to meet you." She gives her a friendly hug. "Aren't you related to Chyna?"

"Yep." Melanie grinned as they started to click.

"Wow! That's awesome! So are you wrestling or being a manager?"

"Wrestling."

"Really? This is going to be good. You're going to do just fine, here. Welcome to the CZW family."

"Thanks, I'm glad to be here."

"Hey, we should hang out tonight. The roster is going to a bar. You should come."

"Sure, that'll be great!"

"Sweet. Come on, I'll introduce you to the roster."

While Chrissy introduced Melanie to most of the roster, they were very welcoming towards her and couldn't wait to see her in action. After the icebreakers, Chrissy had to get ready for the show, so Melanie started to walk around again to get familiar with the surroundings. She was really happy to wrestle somewhere in her hometown in Philly. After thinking about CZW, her thoughts were interrupted after she saw a guy who was over six feet tall, and had dirty blond hair.

The guy's eyes light up. "It's you. I never got your name from the couple of times I saw you at the restaurant."

Melanie took another look at him and smiled. It was that guy she gave the free beers to. What were the odds of seeing him again?

"Melanie."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Jon."

Melanie stuck out her hand and shook his. "Nice to meet cha."

They start walking together. "You're something, you know that? You cared about me, although we were strangers. At first, I was like, this chick is cool as shit for giving me beer although I was 18. But to hear you tell Cody to make sure I get home safe, got to me. No other chick has said that to me. It's just the little things like that, I appreciate."

"Ah, it's not a problem. I should really be thanking you, Cody, and your friends for giving me that money so I can start training."

"Cody can see a great upcoming wrestler when he sees one. It looks like he has faith in you."

"I'm honored. So how long have you been here?"

"A few months. When do you start wrestling?"

"Next show in a dark match."

"Cool. I'll be seeing you in action, soon. You know the roster is going out to a bar, after the show."

"Yep. Chrissy told me."

"Are you coming? You should~" Jon nudged her with a boyish grin

"Hah hah. Yeah. Sounds like a plan."

"Awesome."

"So where are you from?"

"Cincinnati. You?"

"Ohio, huh? I bet you've been wrestling all over. I'm from Philly."

"Philly, huh? Nice. I'll catch you later. It's nice to see you again."

"Nice to see you again, too." Melanie watched him leave.

'I think I'm going to like it here.' she thought.

After that, Melanie sat in the crowd and was able to get an idea of CZW by watching the show. Everything was so intense, and it made her look forward to her debut even more. She admired the hardcore wrestling and how involved the fans were.

During the next show, Melanie went against a local female wrestler in a dark match. Her parents were there to watch despite reluctantly going to see her get hurt. Melanie lost her first match, but gained respect for her hard work and heart, to not give up so soon in the match.

After the show, Melanie packed up her gym bag and heard someone knocking on the door.

"Yeah?" She turned.

"Hey, sorry to bother you. Just wanted to say that you were great out there. Good match."

"Thanks! Hopefully, I'll win next time. I'm Melanie by the way."

"Greg. I was wonderin'...uh, you mind if I take you out to dinner, tonight? I'd love to get to know you more."

Surprised at the sudden question, Melanie thought about it for a few moments. "Yeah, why not."

'Next week'

Wearing dark blue skinny jeans, and a cut-up CZW shirt that stopped in the middle of her stomach, Melanie watched in the front row with disapproval on her face of Moxley screwing Devon Moore from winning Robert Anthony's CZW World Heavyweight Championship. Jon started bragging about being the best wrestler with Robert Anthony and being CZW Legends which made her shake her head. But then it caught Robert's attention and he pointed her out.

"Do you disagree toots?" Jon asked with a smug look.

"Chicks can't handle us." Robert bragged. Melanie's scowl made them laugh. "She better be glad we even looked at her because we're the best wrestlers in this company."

Rolling her eyes, she gives him the middle finger as the crowd 'ohs' and cheers. Jon and Robert chuckle to themselves before turning their attention back to Devon Moore who was down and out. As soon as they were about to attack him again, the Briscoe brothers came out to even the odds. They start arguing with them until Joker runs down the ring with a chair and starts attacking Devon and the Briscoe brothers. The crowd cheered as they threw out Moxley and the others out of the ring.

Jay Briscoe grabbed a mic and offered up a challenge to have all the titles on the line, in a match, next month.

"Hey Moxley, you're out of luck, buddy. You ain't got no title. You're just a goofy motherfucker." He exclaimed as the crowd cheered.

"Uncalled for!" One of the commentators said.

Melanie started laughing. Jay knew how to have the best one-liners.

"And what are you laughing at? Huh?" Jon walked over to her, towering over her since she was sitting down.

"A goofy motherfucker." She bluntly declared, slowly standing up. "Who else?"

"You're not even worth my time..."

"I believe that I am. I'll take you down anyplace, anytime." She shrugged.

"Do you know who you're talkin' to? I'm Jon Moxley." He began to get in her face.

"In one ear, out the other..." She looked at her nails as the crowd 'oohed'.

Fed up, Jon grabbed a fan's drink and dumped it on top of her head.

"What is he doing!?" One of the commentators exclaimed.

Melanie gasped and looked at her wet clothes as Jon laughed in her face. The crowd started chanting 'Kick his ass!' while Melanie tried to adjust her hair and clothes.

"Big-­fucking-­mistake!" she growled with rage and smacked him right across the face.

"Damn~!" The Briscoe brothers exclaimed as Jon stumbled back. The crowd went wild when Melanie jumped over the barricade and started unloading on Moxley, throwing in punches. Robert and Joker look on in shock as she gave Jon a kick out DDT on the ground.

"You're gonna get it now!" Robert yelled but she slid into the ring before him and Joker could get her.

Melanie grinned at what she had done and high-fived the Briscoe brothers.

"Do they know this woman!?" One commentator wondered.

Meanwhile, Moxley is helped up by Robert and Joker. He rubbed the side of his cheek and then the top of his head, glaring at the woman who assaulted him. She blew him a kiss and innocently shrugged.

"I think so but she made a statement, going after Moxley of all people. Is she nuts? She must be!" The second commentator declared.

"Allow us to introduce the new bombshell in CZW. Melanie!" Jay raised her hand as the crowd cheered. "Sorry Jon, but you got your ass kicked!" he laughed as the crowd agreed. Jon started yelling at them and began to get restrained by Robert and Joker. Melanie laughed at his struggle but then Jon broke free and slid into the ring. "Run Melanie, run!"

Melanie slid out of the ring and sprinted backstage with Jon tailing right behind her as the others followed them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'After the show'

Melanie was in a locker room, frowning at her phone.

"You all right?" Jon popped his head into the room.

"Yeah, fine. What's up?" She looked up from her phone.

"All right, what's wrong?" He pulled up a chair and sat in front of her. He could tell something was on her mind and he wasn't leaving until she was happy again.

"Nothing's wrong."

"Bullshit," he exclaimed and started staring at her until she gave him a valid answer.

"I hate it when you do that...you always know when I'm upset even if I try to hide it." she groaned and let out a long sigh. "My boyfriend canceled our date. We were supposed to go to a concert. He knows how badly I wanted to go to see my favorite band. And now I have no one else to go with. I don't want to go alone. Might as well sell these tickets..."

"Or...I could go with you," he suggested, raising his eyebrows.

Hearing his offer, her eyes lit up. "Really?" She started to grin.

"There's that grin I've been waiting for." A half smile came across his face. "Yeah, why not? I wouldn't mind going with you."

"Thank you! I promise you'll have a lot of fun." They stood up and she wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly. "Gross you're still sweaty." she laughed and released him.

"Shut it." He let out a laugh.

"My night just got better. But are you sure you want to go? I don't want you to think you have to go, to make me feel better." She brought up as she gave him a ticket.

Jon checked out the ticket before looking at her. "I like hanging out with you, Melanie. You're not one of those annoying ring rats, and you're someone I enjoy being around. Plus, I like the band."

"Thanks. It starts in two hours. We should get ready."

When the show was about to start, Jon and Melanie got to their seats which were near the stage but still in the middle of the crowd.

"I missed this. It's been a while since I've been to a concert. Hey, you ever crowd-surfed before?" she asked.

Jon shook his head, "Nah, have you?"

"Oh yeah! Consider this your lucky day. Come on." she grabbed his hand.

"Whoa, whoa, where are you taking me?" He let out a laugh.

"You and I are gonna crowd surf. It'll be fun."

"All right, I'll be a daredevil tonight."

"Good."

After the concert, Jon walked Melanie home. Ever since she and Greg started dating, she decided to move in with him. But it seemed like their relationship was a bit rocky now because he never wanted to do anything with her anymore. But she didn't want to worry Jon about that.

"That was awesome!" he shouted excitedly.

"Haha! Told you! I kind of thought you were having fun when you kept wooing and hollering." She giggled. Jon put an arm around her shoulders and started singing one of the band's songs, in a fake tone-deaf voice. Melanie started to laugh at his goofiness. "You're gonna wake up the neighbors."

"Ah, the hell with it." he carried on. She decided to join him, in singing the song until they reached Greg's apartment.

"That was fun. Thanks for hanging out with me."

"Ah, no problem. Wouldn't mind doing it again."

"Of course. You'll be my new concert buddy." She embraced him but the door opened to reveal Greg looking at them with an annoyed expression.

"About time you got home." Greg retorted, scowling at Jon.

Melanie sighed and released Jon. "Sorry, the concert went on a little longer than usual. Thanks for coming with me, Jon. I'll see you later." She smiled and headed inside

"Yeah..." Jon nodded and stared down Greg before he headed inside with her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After another show, Melanie grabbed her bags and met up with Jon, who was getting ready to leave.

"Hey, are you doing anything, tonight?" She asked hopefully.

"Nah, why?" he questioned as he put on his gym bag.

"I was wondering if you wanted to meet my parents and have dinner with us. They don't bite, I swear. My mom is the overprotective one, not my dad, he's the carefree type." She smiled, hoping he'd say yes.

Jon liked her sweet request but wondered if it would be a good idea.

"Uh...you sure about this?"

"Of course! It'll be fun." she guaranteed.

"All right, all right. I'll go. Just for you."

"Sweet!"

When they arrived at her parents' place, she walked inside with him.

"Melanie! You're home!" Jane, her mother, rushed over to give her a big hug and kiss on the cheek. "Oh, who is this?"

"Mom, dad, this is my friend, Jonathan Good. I met him a couple times when I was working, and recently reunited with him while I was starting out in CZW."

Her father, Diego, began to grin. "Nice to meet you! Melanie has told us all about you."

"She has?" Jon asked with surprise as Melanie quickly stomped on her father's foot.

"Hey!" Diego exclaimed

Melanie shot him a glare and cleared her throat. "Anyway, can he stay for dinner?" she asked

"Why not? The more the merrier!" Jane replied, looking overjoyed, and walked back into the kitchen.

"Dinner should be ready soon," Diego informed the two and walked upstairs.

Melanie sighed out of relief and gave Jon a low five. "Mission accomplished, they love you."

"Glad to hear. So...what have you been saying about me?" he nudged her

"Let's not get into that right now." She punched him on the shoulder.

"Uh-huh." He smirked

After dinner, Melanie went back to Greg's place and set down her bags. "I'm home!" She announced but didn't hear a response. "I guess he isn't here." She checked the time, seeing it was only 10:30. But then she started hearing weird noises in the bedroom.

"Don't let this be what I fear..." She muttered to herself and opened the bedroom door to see Greg sleeping with a local female wrestler. The sight made her sick to her stomach, and she couldn't control her anger anymore. "Are you fucking kidding me!?" She shouted.

The sound of her angry voice made Greg and the girl scramble out of bed.

"Mel, I can explain­-"

"Explain!? You've got to be joking." She retorted. "Why the hell would you do this? Why would you­- I can't. I'm fucking done. No." She tried to wipe her tears and stormed off.

Greg quickly got dressed. "Get out of here." He pushed the girl out of the apartment. He needed to fix this. He should've asked what time she was coming home. He couldn't lose Melanie. He was the next woman on his list to screw. And they just started dating. He really screwed up.

"Mel, I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry. It won't happen again, I promise." He tried to hug her as she struggled to push him away. "Please, I'm sorry! I'll change."

Hearing how sad his voice was, made her even more upset. It sounded sincere to her, but she failed to notice the fakeness of his voice, and she unfortunately decided to take him back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'To The Ring'

At a CZW arena, Moxley walked out with a cocky grin on his face. He had a microphone in his hands and went straight over to Melanie's parents, who were in the crowd to watch their daughter in action.

"Well, well, look who it is. Melanie's parents. I always think about why and how you raised a bitch of a daughter." He disrespected them as the CZW crowd booed. Jane's jaw dropped, shocked at the words coming out of his mouth, while Diego didn't look too happy.

"How dare you!?" She shouted and gave Moxley a stinging slap to the face, earning cheers from the crowd. "How dare you talk about our daughter like that!?"

Chuckling, Moxley responded, "Is that all you got, grandma? You're a bitch just like your skanky daughter. And I bet you're a­-"

His speech was cut short when Diego's fist met his jaw. The crowd went wild and chanted 'Holy Shit'

"Don't you ever disrespect my daughter or my wife ever again! You hear me, amigo?" Diego's thick accent came in.

Pissed, Jon struck Diego with a cheap shot and tossed him over the barricade, as Jane screamed. The crowd continued to boo Moxley as he dragged him into the ring.

"Stop! Stop!" Jane pleaded, scared for her husband

"Shut your fucking mouth!" Jon shouted back at her, in a harsh tone, making her quiet. He got in the ring and began stalking Diego from behind. But before he could attack, Melanie rushed down the ring, earning loud cheers. She ran as fast as she could as she slid into the ring. But unfortunately, Jon escaped before she could get to him. The crowd booed and chanted 'Pussy' at him.

"Are you friggin' kidding me, right now? You're really gonna do this?" She glared at Jon before helping her dad.

"Thank goodness for Melanie, coming down before Moxley did something worse." One of them commentators said.

'To Greg's Place'

"Can you fucking cook me something, already? You're taking too long." Greg grumbled as he watched TV in the living room. Melanie had made him a chicken pot pie but dropped it in front of him, after tripping over his shoes. Greg rolled his eyes. "You are such a stupid screw-up. Pick that shit up and cook me another plate."

Melanie sighed and cleaned the mess up. "Can't we just order takeout?"

"Listen you little bitch, I fuckin' said make me another plate, got it?"

Melanie quickly nodded and went back into the kitchen, wiping the tears from her face. Lately, it seemed like Melanie was the only one who wanted to be in the relationship now. He said he would change, but it seemed like he had gotten worse. It was starting to frighten her. But she thought he would change, so she decided to continue to stay.

Later on, Greg stepped out and Melanie's phone started to ring. "What's up, Jon? You all right?"

"Yeah, uh, you mind if I crash at your place? I don't think I'll be able to make it to Chrissy's." He sounded tired, probably from the show.

"Yeah, of course. Come on."

"Great, I'll be there, soon."

After five minutes, she let him in and let him crash on her bed, but then Greg came back.

"What is he doing here?" Greg scowled, displeased at another man at his place

"Oh, he couldn't make it back to Chrissy's place, so I decided to let him crash here for tonight," she replied.

"Great..." he sarcastically replied, walking into the living room.

"What's your problem?" she snapped, following him

"I just don't like you being around all these half-naked guys."

"Just because you decided to quit wrestling, doesn't mean I have to. You wrestled there before. Why can't I? Please don't tell me you're jealous..."

"I'm going out. Don't wait up for me." he brushed her off and left the apartment.

Melanie rolled her eyes again. "Wasn't planning to..." she headed back into her bedroom to see Jon relaxing on her bed.

"He's annoying the crap out of me," he grumbled.

"Agreed." she crossed her arms. She was getting tired of Greg's jealousy. She's been nothing but loyal to him.

"Why are you still with him?"

"Couples argue. We're not perfect." She sat down on the bed next to him.

"Where did he go anyway?"

"Who knows? He usually stays out all night..."

"Ever get suspicious?"

"No. I love him and trust him," she replied with a little doubt in her voice. "I'm so glad you won the title."

"Me too," he grunted and held his arm. "Can I get a massage?"

"It'll cost you." she chuckled.

"Damn..."

"Grapes I mean."

"Grapes? Just grapes? All right, I can live with that."

As she started to massage his arm with long strokes and circular motions, she couldn't help but feel the firm muscles on his arm. She shook the thought out of her head and noticed that he had fallen asleep after a few minutes. Melanie relaxed next to him and turned to watch him sleep.

Admiring the peaceful look on his face, she brushed some hair from his face.

'So adorable...' She thought with a small blush. 'Wait...adorable...? Oh no, I think I may be crushing on Jon.'

Was it wrong to like a guy while you're dating someone who really doesn't give you the time of day anymore? Someone who doesn't support what you want to do in life?

Jon rolled over to the side and rested his head against her chest. "D­-dude, you're on top of me." She chuckled but Jon mumbled and snuggled into her. She ran a hand through his hair before going to sleep, enjoying the cute moment.

'Next Day'

Shivering and soaked from the rain, Melanie managed to find Chrissy's place and knocked on the door.

"Holy shit! Melanie! Are you okay!?" Chrissy let her in her place and set her on the couch. Melanie shivered violently. "You look like shit. What happened?"

"I­-I was waiting for G­-Greg and he didn't show up." she stuttered as she dried herself off with a towel.

Jon walked into the living room and spotted Melanie's alarming condition. He began to look worried. "Mel? What the hell happened!?" He rushed to her side.

"She was waiting for Greg and he didn't show up," Chrissy replied with resentment. "We need to call him."

Two hours later, Greg walked into Chrissy's place while Melanie rested on the couch in blankets.

"Dude, where the hell were you? We've been calling you for hours." Jon asserted

"I was out at the club with some chicks, why?" Greg shrugged, with no care in the world.

"Seriously? You're at the club when your girlfriend is sick?" Chrissy exclaimed in disbelief.

"She'll survive." he bluntly replied.

Melanie opens her eyes. "W­-where were you? I waited for you." She said in a weak voice.

"Try not to strain yourself, hon." Chrissy expressed her concern.

"What do you mean wait?" Jon asked, turning to Greg.

"Crap...I forgot. We were supposed to go out for dinner. How long was she out there?" Greg sighed.

"Waited about three hours." Melanie weakly replied.

"Three?" Jon asked in shock.

"Three!? You're so faithful, unlike some people." Chrissy glared at Melanie's boyfriend.

"Let me get this straight...you and Melanie were supposed to have dinner tonight and you never showed up? You do realize it's raining, right?" Jon crossed his arms.

"Look, things happen. It's all right." Greg put his hands up in defense.

"No, it's not all right. She may have gotten seriously sick because of you." Jon replied with a frustrated growl.

"It's so cold..." Melanie shivered

"Come on, let me get you some warmer clothes." Chrissy helped Melanie in her room. After she got Melanie situated, she let her rest on her bed before walking back into the living room. "What the hell is wrong with you!? Why would you go to a club when you were supposed to have dinner with Mel?"

"Look, the reason I went to the club is because she doesn't do crap for me. Every time I want some, she refuses. We rarely do anything anymore, and all she focuses on is her family and wrestling career. What about me? I'm important too!"

"Un-­fucking­-believable..." Jon mumbled and shook his head in disgust

"And you should respect her interests and take an interest in the things she likes to do." Chrissy lectured

"Wrestling with half-naked men? I'll pass...she better be glad I approve of her doing this." Greg glared at them.

"Don't talk about her like that," Jon growled. "Why are you trying so hard to get in her pants, anyway?"

"Because she's hot. And she's starting to annoy the hell out of me with this waiting crap." Greg replied, making his intentions clear

"Why are you talking about her like that? Is that what you wanted? To get in her pants and then leave? That's not cool..." Chrissy crossed her arms and gave him a stern look.

"I'm tired of her talking about her virgin crap. Who is going to wait that long for her? I don't think I can do this, anymore." Greg admitted, revealing his impatience.

"She can do whatever the hell she wants and if you don't like it, get the hell out of here. And if she doesn't want to do it yet, then respect her wishes. And if you truly loved her, you would wait until she's ready." Jon exclaimed angrily.

"Jon." Chrissy put a hand on his arm to calm him down. "You talk about her like you own her. You don't. Plus, you wrestled in CZW, so why are talking so badly about wrestling?"

"Probably because Mel is better than him and he quit wrestling." Jon chuckled while Greg gave him an annoyed look.

"Whatever. I'm out of here." Greg headed for the door.

"And you're not going to stay with her and make sure she's okay?" Chrissy called out but he shut the door. "What an asshole! I cannot believe this!"

"I know..." Jon shook his head. Melanie managed to get out of bed and goes into the living room. "Mel, what are you doing out of bed?"

"I'm fine. I'm just..." She started to feel light-headed and began to fall down before Jon caught her in his arms.

"I got you," Jon murmurs and picks her bridal style. He walked her back into the bedroom and set her on the bed.

"I'm sorry," she mumbled.

"It's not your fault." He reassured.

"Yes it is...is it me?" She managed to say. "Ever since I told him I was still a virgin and wanted to wait, he's been a little distant. What did I do? I love him."

As much as Jon wanted to vent to her about what an ass Greg is, he decided against it. "I know I screwed ring rats, but you're different because you make chasing worthwhile. You're not easy like those ring rats I screwed. Stay that way. It's a good thing. Continue to wait until you're ready."

She smiled and closed her eyes. "You're so good to me."

Jon gave her a half smile as she started to sleep again. He looked at what she was wearing. She was wearing one of his shirts and thought it looked cute on her. He headed out the room and saw Chrissy grinning at him.

"You like her, don't you?" she teased.

"Uh, why would you think that?" Jon rubbed the back of his neck.

"You're so caring and protective. You don't do that to any of the other girls." she chuckled. "I think it's cute. Now if only she could break up with Greg."

During a CZW show, Melanie was in the ring, wearing her wrestling attire which was jeans, a white tank top with a black bra with fingerless gloves. She was in the ring with another bombshell. All of a sudden, Moxley's theme comes on.

"Great..." Melanie rolled her eyes.

"Introducing your special guest referee for this contest, Jon~ Moxley!" The announcer announced as Melanie's jaw dropped and the other bombshell looked confused.

"What? What!?" Melanie screamed as Jon came out with a cocky grin on his face.

Jon waved at her as he got in the ring. "Hello, Melanie."

"Fuck you." She snapped and gave him the middle finger.

"I'd love to fuck you."

Melanie sighed loudly as the bell rang three times. "Stay out of my way." she pointed to him and circled around the ring with the bombshell. Near the end of the match, Melanie hit the bombshell with a roundhouse kick to the face. She waited for her to get on her knees to run to the ropes but all of sudden, Moxley hit her with the Moxicity, knocking the wind out of her.

"What!?" The first commentator exclaimed. "What the hell was that!? That was crap!"

The bombshell crawled over to Melanie and went for the pin. Jon quickly counted to three as the crowd booed. He raised the bombshell's hand and then she left the ring.

Meanwhile, with Melanie, she held her head and glared at him, sliding out of the ring. "Bullshit..."

Moxley grabbed a mic and began to cut another promo on her, "Melanie has no fucking talent in this company. She fucked with me too many times and she should have saw this coming. The bitch had it coming."

Melanie went on to get a chair while Jon's back was turned from her.

"Uh oh. Melanie does not look happy." The second commentator said.

"She's about to explode!" The first commentator replied, anticipating what she was about to do.

Melanie slid back into the ring and waited for Jon to turn around. As soon as he did, she hit him in the face with the chair as the crowd cheered.

"Fuck you!" She hit him five more times.

"She just hit Jon Moxley with a chair!" The first commentator yelled.

She threw the chair away and started unloading on him as she kept yelling curse words. A few refs ran down the ring to separate the two. The refs got Jon out of the ring while Melanie went to get a mic.

"Hey! Hey, Moxley! That was a bullshit move, dude. You want to fuck with me? Big mistake. So, if you want to get your ass kicked, I have no problem!"

"You can't do shit to me!" Jon yelled back.

"Don't think this is over. I'm not done with you yet, motherfucker! You want to fuck with me? Get in this ring and fight me!" Melanie yelled as the crowd cheered in agreement.

Jon looked at the crowd and then back at her. He decided to take her up on her offer and got on the apron. But then he smirked and jumped off as the crowd booed him.

"You're not worth my time." He shrugged

'Next Week'

During a CZW show, Moxley and Sami thought it would be hilarious to sneak into Melanie's locker room, go through her bags, and take all her clothes and wrestling attire while she was in the shower. After waiting about ten minutes, they see her walking around, frantically backstage with a towel on, trying to find her clothes. From her facial expression, they could tell that she was very worried.

"Well, well...if it isn't little miss Melanie. Nice towel." Mox greeted her with a smirk, eyeing her up and down

"Wonder where your wrestling attire is...isn't your match up next?" Sami added.

"Still can't find them? So...I guess this means you're wrestling...naked tonight."

"Can't wait to see that!" He high-fived Moxley.

Melanie bitterly chuckled. "You two are a bunch of dicks..." she tried to walk away but Jon blocked her way. "...Move..."

"Oh, I'm not leaving. I like what I see. I like what I see, a lot..." He checked her out

"Out of the way."

"Hey, hey hey...leaving so soon?" He asked as he blocked her way again, making her bump into his chest.

"I'm gonna give you ten seconds to defend yourself if you don't get out of my way..." She threatened, making Sami laugh out loud.

"And what are you gonna do, Melly Belly? Kick us in the balls?" Sami suggested.

"Not a bad idea!" she swiftly kicked them both in the balls, before walking away.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A couple weeks later, Melanie was forced to become Sami and Jon's valet after they won a tag team match for her services for a couple months for a storyline. During her time with the both of them was a lot of chaotic mess.

For instance:

'Moxley vs Brain Damage'

Near the end of the match, Melanie ran out with a chair as the crowd booed her. She slid in the ring, making sure she didn't get cut from all the glass scattered around. She was about to hit Brain Damage but he moved out of the way, making her hit Jon instead

Melanie's eyes widen. "Shit! Sorry!"

"Melanie! What the fuck!?" Sami yelled as he ran out.

"I said I was sorry!" she yelled back.

"Fuck him up!" Sami yelled while she rolled her eyes.

She turned around to see Brain Damage with a drill in his hands. She looked a little taken aback since he was so bloody and glaring at her. She took a step back and turned around, about to run out of the ring but he grabbed her by the hair. She screamed as the crowd cheered and started chanting 'Cut her open!'

Sami ran into the ring and was about to hit him with a bat but Brain Damage threw Melanie on the mat, and luckily Jon caught her from hitting the glass. Brain Damage shifted his attention to Sami and threatened to drill him until Jon caught him in a roll-up pin for the win.

Melanie slid out of the ring and hugged Jon as he stumbled down on the ground while Sami met up with them at ringside.

"Here is your winner! Jon Moxley!" The announcer declared

"Fuck him up!" Sami yelled

"Are you okay!?" Melanie asked Jon.

"You worry a lot," Jon smirked, enjoying her concern. "I like it."

"Are you serious? You almost got your head cut open! How can I not be worried?"

"I'm fine. It's just a fucking scratch."

"A big fucking scratch."

Later, she hung out with Jon and Sami to watch the rest of the matches. The crowd was loud and hyped during Nick Gage's match against Thumbtack Jack. Melanie, as always, had a bowl of grapes in her hands, popping them in her mouth like they were candy.

"Mel you look like you gained weight. Eating too much grapes?" Sami teased and poked her stomach.

Melanie chuckled. "Okay...don't be a dick."

"Haha, I'm just messin' with ya." Sami laughed.

All of a sudden they hear loud 'Ohs' and 'Holy shit' chants from the crowd after Nick got thrown into the light tubes, that were propped between the ropes.

"Damn! Is he really hurt?" She cringed and started to look concerned when people started to help him.

"I think so, a doctor is rushing over to him," Jon replied as they watched people take him to the back. There was blood all over him and the doctor had to use towels under his arm to stop the bleeding.

Melanie started to look nervous. "This is why I hate light tubes."

After the show, Melanie drove Jon back to his place which he shared with Chrissy Rivera. Jon was bloody from head to toe, and seriously needed a shower.

"Take a long, hot shower. I'll make you a cheese steak." Melanie headed to the kitchen and placed her bag on the counter. Jon looked at her taking out the ingredients to make the food, and chuckled.

"Only you would have that in your bag."

Melanie was about to answer but stopped herself before pondering. "...I...crave things. I did go to the store before we left the event,"

Jon examined the scars he received from his matches at the tournament. "Oh? Finally lost your card and got pregnant? Was that why Sami said you gained weight?"

"No, and no I'm not pregnant." She firmly noted.

"All right then." He headed to the bathroom but seconds later he came back out. "Wait, shouldn't you be with your boyfriend? You know how overprotective he is."

Melanie rolled her eyes and started to become annoyed. "Can we not talk about him?!" She snapped, getting negative memories of Greg.

"Whoa, calm down. I didn't mean to make you mad." He put his hands up in defense.

Melanie ran her hands through her hair and sighed. "Just forget it. I just...I just want to be with you, right now."

"Well, I'm here. Now what's going on with you and him?"

"Take a shower." She evaded.

"Not until you answer my question."

"You should really wash that blood off."

"What is going on?"

"Can you please just drop it!?"

"I know something is wrong. I'm not gonna stop asking you until you tell me." Jon persisted. Melanie gave him a stern look and started preparing his meal. "So now you're ignoring me, huh? I think I know what it is. Looks like you haven't been getting a lot of attention."

"Or maybe it's because I still have my card. He keeps trying to pressure me. It's turning me off and he gets really angry."

Jon rested his elbows on the counter. "You just need to relax."

"You should take a shower."

"You should take one with me." He suggested.

Melanie stopped what she was doing and looked up at him. "Are you serious?"

"No joke." He replied with a serious face.

"Jon, I'm still with him."

"Do you want to stay with him?

"I...don't know."

"You're blinded by love."

"I'm not."

"Yes, you are. The guy cheated on you several times and you're still with him. It's okay to just say fuck you, I don't want to be with you anymore. I think you want to believe you're still in love with him so that your relationship with him can still last. That's not love."

"I love him, Jon. End of discussion."

Jon showed a mischievous look on his face and walked around the counter. "Well if you loved him so much, you wouldn't be staring at my chest this whole time."

"Was not..." She mumbled as he got behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Well if you loved him so much, would you let me do this?" He started to lightly kiss the smooth skin of her neck. Melanie immediately started to relax despite trying not to enjoy the skilled mouth of Jon's. Unfortunately, the pleasure didn't last long because he released her. "Haha, the look of disappointment on your face is hilarious. So much for loving that guy. That was fun wasn't it?"

"Jon." She gave him a stern look while rubbing her neck.

"All right, all right. I'll be in the shower while you continue to pretend you don't want me to kiss your neck again...and in other places." He goes into the bathroom.

Melanie exhaled and sat on the couch, in the living room. She ran her hands through her hair. Was it cheating to get a love mark from another man, let alone having one of your best guy friends give you the love mark. And it felt good? But you're dating someone who disrespects you? She should really break up with Greg. What is the point anymore?

After Jon took a shower, he walked back out in his shorts and no shirt. "All right, do you wanna have sex or not?"

"Jon!" Melanie exclaimed, while he gave her a grin. "This is serious!"

"I am serious. Do you or not, in general?"

"I do but­-"

"Then get over here."

"I don't want to be treated as some play toy or ring rat. I'm not like that and I don't want to just lose it like that."

"Losing it isn't going to be perfect. Just as long as you trust someone. Do you trust Greg?"

"No, not at all."

"Do you trust me?"

"Yes."

"There you have it." He sat down on the couch, next to her.

"I feel like you're treating this like a joke."

"Melanie." He began in a deep tone. "I don't mind deflowering you right here, right now if you want me to. I'm not one for doing that romantic crap, but I know I can make you feel special, unlike that jackass...only if you let me."

"You've screwed so many girls."

"And so has he. But I know I can screw better than him. And you'll be the first I do it with meaning."

"You're my best friend."

"Wouldn't that be a better choice?"

"We're not even together."

"I can change that." He smirked. "Just stay here with me."

The temptation was building as she started to ponder about his offer but sighed. "I really want to, but this will be the first place, he'll try to find me. You know he doesn't like you. And what you did is going to really trigger it."

"So, are you planning on telling him about what we did?"

"What you did."

"What we did. You didn't stop me. And I saw that look of disappointment when I stopped."

Melanie sighed. "No, I'm not going to tell."

"How are you gonna explain to him about that mark?" He looked at the love mark on her neck.

"I'll just put makeup on it. No big deal."

"Man...how can you deal with that loser?"

"I don't give in to his pressure."

"I almost pressured you."

"No, you didn't. You see the thing is, I just feel really comfortable with you."

"Glad to hear," Jon cracked a smile

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a day before Thanksgiving. Melanie was in her street clothes and had her gym bag on her. She saw Jon, tying his sneakers in his locker room. "Hey, how are you spending Thanksgiving? Going home to your family?" Melanie grinned.

"Uh, yeah..." Jon lied

"That doesn't sound so enthusiastic. Are you all right?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Dude, you can tell me if something is on your mind. What's up?"

"Just drop it, okay?"

"No, I'm not going to drop it. What is the big deal? It's supposed to be a happy time. A happy time with you spending Thanksgiving with your family."

He sighed. "That's the thing...I'm spending Thanksgiving alone."

"What?" she exclaimed as he explained his past and how he was raising himself at an early age. "I'm sorry...I didn't know you had it rough like that..."

He shook his head. "Doesn't matter."

"Yes, it does. Look, why don't you stay with me and spend Thanksgiving with my family?" she happily suggested. "You've met my parents before."

"Nah..."

"Why are you being so difficult? No one should be alone for Thanksgiving."

"Well, maybe it's because it wouldn't be right, to spend Thanksgiving with your family. We're different people, Melanie. You're daddy's little girl, and I'm just a bad guy. Your family wouldn't accept me. Or accept me hanging out with you."

"Stop it. They accepted you before when I introduced you to them. You are welcome there, anytime, Jon. Just come with me, okay?"

"Melanie, just stop, all right? I'm not going."

"You are being ridiculous, right now. I don't get why you would want to spend Thanksgiving alone when you have a family who loves you and treats you like their own son. My father and mother love you. They truly love you, Jon."

"Mel, I'm sorry, but I can't. I don't want them to think of me differently because of my past."

"Are you fucking kidding me, right now?" She threw her arms up, sighing loudly.

"No, I'm not fucking kidding, right now." Jon snapped.

Melanie rolled her eyes. "You think they are going to abandon you because of your past? Who gives a shit? Let's move on and focus on now. Not the past." she replied as Jon stood up, about to leave. She pushed him back to keep him from leaving. "You know what Jon? I wish you would let me in because I'm one of your female friends who isn't trying to screw you, break your heart, or want you for your looks. I'm here because I care about you and you are my best friend. Okay, so you're violent, I've seen your matches, but I don't care. You're you. So, I'll take no for an answer. But if you want to talk to me, don't call me, don't text me, and don't even email me. You're gonna have to see me face to face, at my place. I'll leave my window unlocked for you. I just hope you come."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Later, at night'

It was raining and Melanie was in her room, sleeping while her TV was on. All of a sudden, her window opened and Jon slid in like he usually would whenever he'd visit from time to time. He shut the window but it made a sound and Melanie woke up, holding her chest, breathing heavily.

"You scared the crap out of me,"

"Sorry..." he murmured

"I didn't think you'd come." she looked at him and got off the bed to hug him. He was soaked. To his hair, to his leather jacket and gray short-sleeved shirt and jeans. It made her PJs a little damp.

"Ah...I gave it a lot of thought."

"Glad you came. Wow, you're soaked." she ran her right hand through his damp hair. "You should change into some warmer clothes." she goes to her dresser. "Remember the shirt and sweatpants you lent me when I forgot to bring changing clothes during one of the CZW shows? I still got them."

"Thanks." he takes the clothes from her. "I thought you were going to do an all-nighter tonight."

"Trust me, I wanted to but my mom wants me to help cook with her. Early."

"So glad I'm not you, right now."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. You should help."

"I'll think about it." he smiled warmly, taking off his leather jacket.

Melanie laughed as he stared to remove his shirt, "Don't change in front of me,"

"Don't like what you see?" he teased, making her face warm

"That's not what I meant. Go in my bathroom and change." she pointed to the door in her room.

"You sure you don't want to see what I got under my pants?"

"Haha. No." Her blush continued to get worse.

"Come on, I know you do. Want me to tell you how big I am?"

"No! Bathroom, now!" She laughed and pushed him

Jon laughed and did what he was told. "Okay! Okay!"

Moments later, he came out of the bathroom and saw Melanie lying down on the bed. He decided to lie down on the floor.

"Why are you sleeping on the floor, man? Get your ass on the bed." She looks down at him.

"You sure you want me in the same bed as you?"

"Why'd you think I'd let you sleep on the floor? Get up here," she demanded as he stood up to get under the covers with her. "You are warm! I love it. Hold me," she snuggled into him.

Jon chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist. In the morning, he woke up first and saw Melanie sleeping. He gently moved some hair from her face and smiled down at her. He was thankful for her, letting him in her life and family with a past like his. She was really something.

"Stop staring, you're making me blush..." Melanie mumbled.

"I make you blush? Sweet..." he replied with a victorious grin. "Hey, do your parents know I'm here?"

"Yeah," she replied. "We should get up unless you want my mom to throw a bucket of water on you. She did that to me last Thanksgiving and it was not pretty."

After they get situated, they go downstairs and into the kitchen to see Jane cooking. "Melanie! Jon! Good morning!" Jane grinned.

"Where's dad?" Melanie asked as she gave Jane a kiss on the cheek.

"Out for a morning jog. He should be back soon. Would you two mind helping out with the pies?"

"Sweet, you got pecan pie." Jon grinned as he saw the pecan pie box on the counter.

"Melanie requested it." Jane smiled.

"Really?" Jon looked at Melanie with admiration in his eyes. Seeing her nod in approval, he replied, "Wow...thanks, Mel! I appreciate it!"

"Not a problem!"

"Thanks for having me here."

"Oh Jon, you are always welcome here. I love you like a son, sweetie." Jane gave him a kiss on the cheek and a warm hug. Jon hugged her back, feeling the love and affection.

Melanie smiled at the two. "Now are you glad you came?"

"Completely," Jon replied

After they helped out, Jon and Mel hang out in her room. "My mom usually stays at home, while my dad teaches at his dance studio." she put her hair in a bun.

"Ah, I see. Your dad is Puerto Rican, right?"

"Yeah, and my mom is English. They married when I was born. So whenever my age is, that's their anniversary. I think it's pretty funny."

'Weeks Later'

Jon puts on a shirt with jeans after a match. "Hey, happy birthday!" Melanie smiled as she had her gym bag in her hands.

Jon flashed her a small smile. "Thanks."

"So, doing anything special tonight?"

"Probably getting drunk at the bar with the guys. Nothing new."

Melanie looked at him in slight shock. "No gifts?"

"Nah."

"No cake?"

"Nope."

"Okay, you're coming with me tonight."

"Birthday sex? We can do it right here."

"No silly!" Melanie laughed, getting used to his flirty and playful advances. "I'm going to take you out."

"Shouldn't a guy take out a girl for lunch or dinner?"

"It's your birthday, and you really should do this instead of drinking at a bar. Come on, please? I promise it'll be worth it."

"I can't resist your charm. Fine..."

"Awesome! Let's go."

"In this?" Jon looks at his casual clothing.

"We're going to a diner. I would always go there as a teen after school. Casual clothing is fine." she reassured.

Jon and her drive to a diner called 'Johnny Rockets'. Jon reluctantly got out of the car as he watched how excited Melanie looked to be at the diner again.

"Uhhhh you sure about this?" he asked.

"Shh!" Melanie grabbed his hand and dragged him into the diner.

"Melanie! Good to see you again, sweetie." A woman in her mid-40s greeted her with a bubbly smile.

"Hi! It's my friend's birthday today, thought I might treat him to one of my favorite spots to eat."

"Oh wow, he's handsome. Lemme get you two a table. Right this way."

"Thanks, Miss Amy."

"Melanie, I told you about calling me Miss. Just call me Amy."

"Habit." The Philly girl shrugged

"So, who is the birthday boy?"

"I'm Jon."

"Nice to meet you, sweetie. Check out the menu. You'll love it here. I'll be back in a few minutes." Amy, the waitress walked away.

"Find anything?" Melanie asked.

"A lot of stuff here..."

"I always get a Philly cheese steak."

"Guess you are a Philadelphian." Jon lets out a chuckle.

"Yep! Once in a blue moon, I'll get a cheeseburger and fries."

After a couple minutes, Amy returned. "Mel, the usual? Philly cheese steak?"

"Yes." she answered and gave her the menu.

"And what about you, pumpkin?" Amy asked.

"Ah...I guess I'll get the Rocket Double and some fries." Jon confirmed.

"What are your drinks?"

"She'll get a Sprite and I'll get a Diet Coke," Jon answered for Melanie and himself as Melanie snapped her head to him in astonishment.

"How'd you know I like Sprite?" Melanie asked

"I've been observant." Jon grinned

"What a good friend he is. I'll be back with your orders." Amy said and grabbed Jon's menu. She put her pen in her long black hair which is wrapped up in a bun and walked away.

"That's cool how you know I like sprite. I guess I gotta remember the stuff you like."

After they ate, Amy brought out a birthday cake with 25 candles on it. "I baked you a small cake. Happy birthday." Amy smiled.

"Thanks, I owe you." Melanie replied.

"No worries! It's on the house sweetie," Amy walked away.

"This cake is for me? Seriously?" Jon asked as he stared at the cake in awe. It simply said 'Happy 25th Birthday Jon!'

Melanie laughed. "Yes! Now make a wish!"

Jon chuckled softly and nodded. "All right." he blew out the candles. "You really didn't have to do this for me."

"Can you please stop saying that? I wanted to do this for you. You can return the favor if it makes you feel better. Now let's eat some cake!" Melanie exclaimed and cut a piece of vanilla cake. She dipped her right index finger on the icing of her slice and put it on Jon's nose. "Haha, couldn't resist."

"Cute..." Jon took a napkin and wiped his nose as he grinned. After they have dinner, Jon drove Melanie home and walked her to her doorstep. "Thanks for tonight. You were right, this was better than the bar."

"See! I told ya! Thanks for taking me home."

"No problem."

"Oh, before you go, I got you something," Melanie remembered as she dug in her pockets.

"You got me a gift?" Jon questioned in surprise.

"Of course, dude!" she took out a black leather bracelet. "I made it myself. My mom's sister knows how to make bracelets and taught me how. Sorry I didn't wrap it but I hope you like it." she looked nervous, anticipating his reaction.

"Hell yeah, I do!" He wrapped his arms around her and twirled her around.

"Hahaha! I'm glad!"

'A few days later'

Melanie was in tears of frustration as she knocked on Jon's door. Jon opened it and Melanie gave him an apologetic smile and wiped her tears.

"Sorry to come here unexpectedly. I...I didn't have anywhere else to go." She sniffed and he let her in.

"What's wrong?" He embraces her.

"I'm so stupid. I'm so stupid!" She released him and started pacing around.

"What happened?" He shut the door and turned his attention to her.

"He cheated on me, again. I don't understand. I thought we were doing so good." She sighed. "I'm sorry, I keep venting to you with all my problems. You know what? I should get him back. Get some revenge. How about you kiss me? How about that?"

"H­-hey." Jon got pushed down on the couch and she straddled him. "Mel." He tried to reason.

She sighed and got off him. "What's gotten into me?" She ran her hands through her hair. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen. I'm just not myself. Ugh, and now you think I'm crazy. I'm sorry."

"It's no problem." He fixed his shirt.

"No problem? I just straddled you. Weren't you going to­-"

"Mel, I'm not going take advantage of you when you're like this. You need to cool down and clear your head. You just need to think."

Melanie exhaled. "Thanks. That makes me feel a lot better."

He stood up and noticed a small bruise on her hand. "Did he hit you?"

Melanie looked away. "...Almost. He grabbed me pretty hard."

"You're getting out of that relationship. Now."

"It's nothing really-­"

"Are you kidding me? Ever since you started dating him, you've been losing your mind. You're getting out of this unhealthy relationship. Now. He isn't going to drag you down from being a great wrestler just because he isn't."

"But I­-"

"You can stay with me. Okay?"

"This is happening so fast."

"Then just spend the night. No way in hell I'm letting you go back there. We'll pick up your stuff tomorrow."

She gave him a small smile. "Thanks. I appreciate this."

"No problem. Come on, let's just chill and watch a movie to get your mind off things."

After they get situated and sit on the couch, Jon hands her a bowl of popcorn made from the stove. She popped one in her mouth and looked at the popcorn weirdly. "Uh...what the heck is in this?"

"Oh, Chrissy and I started to put random crap in our popcorn and I decided to make this. You like? I put cinnamon in it." Jon grinned.

Melanie started to smile and popped another one in her mouth.

"It's...freakishly good. Wanna play Truth, Truther, or Truthest?" She suggested as she sat next to Jon on the couch, pretzel style.

"What the hell, all right." he shrugged, turning his head to her instead of the TV. "Truthest."

"Hm...ever got arrested?"

"Oh yeah." He replied and began to tell her the crazy stories. It amused Melanie in some way, but she did feel bad. But he reassured her that he was fine. "Stop being such a cutie, and stop worrying so much. I'm fine."

"All right, all right." She accepted his wishes and popped another grape in her mouth. After several back-and-forth questions, it was back to Jon.

"Truther." He replied.

"How many chicks have you slept with?"

"A lot."

Melanie rolled her eyes out of amusement. "You're a piece of work. Truthest."

"How many people have YOU slept with?"

"Still none." She shrugged

The next morning, Melanie got ready to leave. "Thanks for spending the night with me."

"No problem. What are friends for? Those horror movies we watched were so corny though. We gotta find some good ones." Jon brought up. "I'll make sure to find something better."

"Great. So what are your plans for today?"

"Wrestle, drink some beer, screw a couple of chicks. The usual."

"Ah...I see. Well, I hope you have fun."

"Thanks, I will. Is that jerk gonna yell at you again?" He asked as they start walking down the street.

"He just...really envies you for some reason. I always see him getting so hyped up, around you. It's like a competition, every time he sees you."

"Melanie. Remember what I told you. End it and be careful."

She nodded. "I will. Don't worry. I know how much you care." She smiled and he headed off to the gym to train, while she continued walking down the street.

Greg quickly appeared behind her, giving her an annoyed look. "Well well. It looks like you seem to leave, every chance you get, to wrap your arms around him and make sure you're the only important woman in his life." Greg berated her as she quickly turned around.

"You scared me." She held her chest. "And what are you talking about? It's not like that."

"Oh really? Then where were you last night?"

"At a friend's. I slept over."

"With whom exactly?"

"Look, don't tell me how to live my life-"

"Shut up. The way he touches and looks at you, disgusts me. Stop seeing him."

"But I­-"

"I wasn't asking for your permission. You are going to stop seeing him. And if I catch you with him, it won't be pretty, got it? You are my business and I demand to know everything that you are doing. You're not gonna talk to him ever again, you hear me?"

Something inside of her clicked, and she couldn't take it anymore. "You know what? No. I'm not going to stop seeing him."

"What did you just say?" He glared at her.

"You are the biggest asshole, ever. I'm done. I can't take it anymore. I'm breaking up with you. All you do is treat me like shit, you screw all these skanky ass bitches, and you don't give me the respect I deserve. So you know what? Fuck you, and have a nice life."

Greg let out a laugh. "You can't break up with me."

"I just fucking did. I'm out of here." She turned and stormed off.

"You're gonna regret this!" He yelled.

Words: 8,000+

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With a ziplock bag of grapes in her hands, Melanie watched Danielle Moinet (Summer Rae) in the ring perform some dance moves to make sure she had the moves down right. It was before the show as the stagehands were still setting up the arena and Jon, Colby and Joe were around ringside going over the plan for the show tonight.

"Amazing! You got it, girl," Melanie nodded in approval, taking out her last grape from her bag.

Danielle grinned at her, "I really appreciate you doing this,"

"Of course, anytime!" 

"I'll take that," Jon suddenly stood on the apron, yanking Melanie's last grape from her hands to eat before jumping down.

"Hey!" Melanie stared at him in disbelief while Colby, Joe and Danielle laughed. "That was my last one!"

"It's mine now, sweetheart," Jon grinned as he ate it.

This caused Melanie to rush out of the ring to chase him around ringside as even some of the workers watched, amused. 

"Get him Mel!" Danielle cheered

When she meets Jon in the ring, she ducks his attempted clothesline and counters with a spinning kick, making him stumble back.

"Oooooh!" Colby and Joe look on, impressed while Danielle high fives Melanie

"Ha! In your face!" Melanie boasted, watching as Jon recovered from her kick

"Those sound like fighting words." Colby brought up. "Does she want to wrestle?"

Jon smiled at Melanie, raising an eyebrow, "You wanna go?"

"Hey! She isn't done helping me dance," Danielle exclaimed

"Ahhh you don't need help. Let's watch their match." Colby waved her protests away and stood on the apron while Danielle playfully rolled her eyes in annoyance. 

"Fine, you're on. Prepare to be Morganized. This won't take long Danielle. He'll be on his knees soon enough. I did it before." Melanie bragged as Danielle stood on the apron to watch.

"Oh, so you wanna go down that road huh?" Jon asked with a playful smirk.

Colby and Joe laugh. "This is rich. Can't wait to see this." Joe looked on.

"LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!" Colby yelled.

Backstage near the gorilla, Celeste hears Colby yelling and takes a peek out of the curtain. She sees Melanie and Jon about to wrestle and quickly runs down the ring with her phone. 

"Wait don't start without me! I am so recording this!" Celeste excitedly said. She gets on the apron next to Colby and puts her phone on video to start recording. 

Jon and Melanie circle around each other in the ring.

"All right Ambrose, it's time to show you how I was known for my 'Kill the Queen' gimmick at TNA." Melanie bragged as Jon smirked in amusement and they locked up.

"My money is on Jon." Colby declared.

"Melanie hands down." Celeste responded.

"How much?"

"Twenty."

"Fifty."

"Seventy."

"Hundred."

"150."

"Got yourself a deal. Be prepared for an empty wallet." 

Celeste giggled at his comment. Melanie grabs Jon into a headlock and then moments later they release each other. 

"Go Melanie!" Celeste cheered.

"Boo!" Colby yelled and Celeste pushed him a little in response.

Melanie tries to grab Jon but he quickly moves behind her and slaps her butt as Colby and Celeste snicker. 

"Hey! Illegal move!" Melanie exclaimed and rubbed her rear.

"Couldn't resist." Jon shrugged.

"Oh, you couldn't resist?"

"Always with the mind games..." Joe looked on, amused, watching from ringside.

"Oh!" The gang exclaimed as Melanie gave Jon a kick in the face. 

He stumbles back to the turnbuckle and she starts giving him kicks to the chest. Jon slides down the in the corner as Melanie backs up and runs

toward him to give him a running knee.

"Yeah! Represent the divas!" Celeste cheered.

"This is not funny! Come on man! Get up!" Colby exclaimed. "Take those kicks like a man! She can't kick that hard!"

Joe scoffed. "Hmph, you weren't the one getting low-blowed and kicked in the face by her at TLC. You only went through a table."

"Someone's getting soft~" Celeste teased as she looked at Jon trying to recuperate.

"Dammit! Jon! Give her hell!" Colby yelled as Melanie turned her focus to him

"Screw you Colby­-" She began but gets tackled by Jon. Colby laughs while Jon picks her up. "I'm going to kill you." She manages to say to Colby as she gets in a headlock. She elbows Jon's rib­cage as he breaks his hold.

Brie and Nikki walk over to the ring, wondering what the commotion is. 

"The heck is going on?" Nikki asked as they saw Melanie throwing Jon into the ropes and hitting him with a clothesline.

"They got some frustration and had to handle it in the ring." Colby joked.

"Sexual?" Nikki asked but got hit on the arm by Brie.

"Nicole!" Brie exclaimed

"What?"

"He ate her last grape," Danielle explained

"We're betting to see who will win. They're doing this for fun. They always do this." Celeste added as she kept recording while Jon hit Melanie with a suplex.

"Ow..." Melanie mumbled.

"Wanna quit now?" Jon taunted.

"Who said I'm quitting?" She gets up.

"Can we get in the bet? I'm rooting for Melanie." Brie spoke up.

"Me too." Nikki agreed as Melanie hit Jon with a hurricarana. 

"What the heck man!?" Colby exclaimed. "Get your head in the game Jon!"

"If you don't shut the hell up..." Jon grumbled as he recovered from her move. Melanie tries to hold in her laughter with her right hand after hearing her boyfriend's comment.

"Jon got this one in the bag." Joe said, getting in the bet.

"I agree." Danielle added.

Melanie turns to Danielle and fake gasps. "As your guide for dancing, you would choose my boyfriend instead of me? How dare you?!" She said in a fake angry voice as Danielle laughed. She turned her attention back to Jon as he started to get up. "Stay down."

"Go easy on him! He has a match tonight." Colby yelled.

"Pitiful excuse, Colby." Melanie replied as she grabbed Jon into another headlock.

"He isn't getting out of this situation anytime soon," Celeste giggled.

Melanie picks Jon up and hits her finisher on him as the girls start cheering loudly. 

"Dammit! What the fuck man!?" Colby exclaimed as he stomped on the mat, hoping that he didn't have to pay 150 dollars to each of the divas.

Suddenly a referee gets in the ring, asking if they were needed to count since they wanted to get in the fun. 

"That would be nice." She replied with a smile and pinned Jon for a two count as the ref started to call this exhibition match. 

She throws Jon into the turnbuckle and runs to him to give him a clothesline but he moves out of the way. She collides against the turnbuckle with a grunt and gets caught in Jon's finisher

"Yeah!" Colby cheered as he pinned her

"No!" Brie exclaimed.

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

"Winner!" The ref announced as he raised Jon's hand.

"YES!" Colby yelled as he jumped off the apron and started celebrating. "Fuck yes! Pay up! I want my money right now."

"Darn it! You're supposed to let the female win!" Melanie exclaimed as Jon helped her up.

"Did you forget that I'm the man?" He asked with a big grin, pecking her lips.

Melanie pushed him back with an amused smile. "Blah blah blah."

He wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her head. "You still did well. Almost got me there."

"Don't act like I haven't beaten you before."

"Where's my money? Give me my money." Colby demanded with a grin.

"Fine, fine," Celeste grumbled as she got out her wallet from her left jean pocket. The divas give Colby and Joe money as Melanie and Jon get out of the ring.

"Hey, I want my share too," Danielle demanded and she got her money. "Nice doing business with you. This is so much better than dancing. I'll vote for Jon any day."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha No..." Melanie replied with a serious look but then started laughing with her. "Next time you bet against me, I'll make sure to win."

"We'll see~"

"I'll take that," Jon said as he snatched the money out of Colby's hands and started running backstage.

"What the hell dude!?" Colby shouted and started running after him as Joe chuckled

"Wait, isn't Melanie the cause of why we lost our cash?" Brie declared

Celeste gives her phone to Joe as he still records. Melanie fixes her ponytail but sees Celeste and the Bellas looking at her. 

"What...?" She asked

"Get her!" Celeste yelled as she shrieked and sprinted backstage. Celeste and the Bellas run after her.

"Am I supposed to follow you guys or stop recording?" Joe asked.

"Let's follow them," Danielle replied as she ran backstage with him.

'To Melanie'

Melanie runs for her life, dodging everyone and everything that is in her way. "Excuse me! Pardon me! Watch out! Future dead woman coming through!"

"Get back here!" Brie yelled.

Melanie starts going through hallways and runs into a safe place. She sighs. Minutes later, she saw no sign of the girls and walked to catering to reward herself with a nice snack. Grapes. After she was done, she decided to dial up a number. It rings a few times until she hears a voice.

"Melanie! It's so good to hear from you." Melanie's father said on the phone.

"Hey, Dad. How are you?"

"Excellent. You're making me proud. I watch you every time you're on TV."

Melanie grinned. "Glad to hear. How's mom and the family?"

"Great. They all miss you. When are you coming back home?"

"I wanted to call you because of that."

"Something wrong?"

"Nope. Great news. Money In the Bank is in Philly and I wanted you and the family to be there. If I'm on the card I was going to wear something with your favorite color."

"Ah, so you remembered that I wanted you to wear my favorite color?"

"Of course."

"I can't wait to tell your mother the news. She'll be thrilled to have you come back to Philadelphia."

"My baby is coming home!?" Melanie's mother screamed.

The Philly Diva cringed at her scream. But then she hears a pan drop on the floor. "Whoa, what is going on?"

"You dropped the pasta!" Melanie's father exclaimed.

"It's in plastic wrap!" Melanie's mother replied.

Melanie laughed. "I miss you guys bickering over little things like that." She started to tear up and sniffed.

"Are you sniffing Melanie? Hey, don't get sad on me now. We will see each other soon sweetheart."

Melanie chuckled. "Yeah."

"Just try not to devour a lot of grapes."

"Haha, no promises. And, I already did moments ago."

Melanie's father laughed. "I thought so."

"The PPV will be starting soon. I should get ready."

"Okay, we'll be watching."

"Great. Love you."

"Love you too, sweetheart."

Melanie smiled and hung up. She looked up from her phone and saw Nikki and Brie walking. She freezes in her seat and widens her eyes once they spotted her

"Celeste!" Nikki and Brie yell.

Celeste quickly runs to them. "What?" She asked.

"We found her." Nikki announced with a smirk.

"Let's get her!" Celeste yelled and they began to run after Melanie. She quickly gets up from her seat and begins to run for her life once again. "Round two Melanie!"

Some superstars watch in amusement. "Looks like Melanie is having fun." Randy laughed.

"Having fun? I'm not having fun! I'm running for my life here. This is like a mafia out to kill you for debt!" Melanie shouted and kept running. 

Moments later, she sees Eva Marie going to the diva's locker room. 

"Eva! Eva! Don't close that door" She exclaims but Eva closes it. "Eva!"

"Sorry, no can do." Eva giggled. "I'm helping them catch you."

"Ahh you suck!" Melanie whined and ran away. 

As Melanie begins to run near some locker rooms, she quickly barges into one and closes the door. Melanie exhales loudly and falls face-first onto the couch.

"Ow..." A deep voice mumbled. She looks up to see she is on top of Jon.

"Grin and bear it." she says and lays her head on his chest.

Jon chuckled and wrapped his arms around her. "Guess I don't have a choice. Why were you running?" 

"Well, thanks to you, Celeste and the twins are out to kill me. Triple trouble I tell you."

"Hah hah. Well, you're still alive and well right?"

"Barely. I'm staying with you at all times tonight."

"Glad we agree on things."

"What don't we agree on? Oh yeah, Me losing to you."

"Aye, I won fair and square, grapes."

"I blame Colby's loud mouth for my loss."

"He can be loud...So how's your dad?"

"Doing great. His dance studio is going successfully. My mom has given me text messages about it. The problem is, that he needs a bigger studio. More and more people want to join but the studio is so small and would interfere with his schedule."

"Well, want to surprise him?"

"Surprise him?"

"How about we buy him a bigger studio?"

"You would do that?"

"He deserves it. We'll talk about it more when Money in the bank comes around."

"Awesome! Thank you!" She gives him a big kiss.

"Every time we walk in, we have to see them kissing. Get a room." Colby complained as he walked inside the locker room with Joe.

"We're technically in a room." Melanie reminded

"A hotel room I mean."

"Oh no!" She exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Joe asked.

"I'm rooming with Celeste tonight..." she groaned.

"Ha! Serves you right!" Colby laughed.

Melanie quickly gets off of Jon and begins to chase after Colby as he quickly runs to the bathroom and shuts it. 

"I'm going to get you one of these days!" She yelled. Jon puts his feet on the floor as he sits on the couch. "That reminds me, how'd you escape Colby?"

"I gave him back his money. I just wanted to get him back from last time." Jon shrugged.

"When he used all the hot water in the shower?" The Philly diva giggled at the memory.

"Yep."

"You should have kept it. You know, come to think of it, I really want to prank Colby. Like a prank war or something." Melanie pondered.

"You want to start a prank war with me?" Colby asked as he got out of the bathroom.

"Yes, I do."

"You're on. Don't say I warned you. You get to strike first."

"Big mistake pal."

"I'll have to see it to believe it."

During the Payback PPV, the camera shows the commentary table. "Let's take a look backstage with Kaitlyn after her heartbreaking loss to AJ who is the new Diva's champion," Cole announced.

Backstage, Kaitlyn is crying as Natalya, Alicia and Layla try to console her. 

"She messed with you mentally. I'm sorry boo." Layla told her sadly.

"You did a great job as Diva's champion." Natalya added in a kind tone. "We're here for you."

Morgan walks up to them who gets a nice reaction from the crowd. "Oh God, Kaitlyn, please...suck it up. You can always win it back. So what if you lost? She messed with your mind. Just keep reaching higher."

Kaitlyn sniffed. "I'm sorry, I have to go." She walked away in shame.

Morgan rolled her eyes and walked away while saying "Good grief..."

"That was uncalled for." Natalya said as Layla and Alicia agreed.

Morgan tweets '#IToldYouSo Now #KeepReachingHigher KaitlynWWE'

'Not helping WWEMorgan101.' Layla replies.

'I am trying to help her.' Morgan replies.

'How is saying I told you so helping a friend?' Layla replies back.

'I'm giving her a reality check since no one wants to listen to the thorn of justice. She'll win it back once she gets her act together.' Morgan replies back.

'Crying isn't going to fix anything. #SuckItUp #MoveOn' Morgan tweets.

"This contest is set for one fall and it is for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Coming to the ring in a combined 482 pounds, accompanied by Morgan Lopez and representing The Shield, they are the current WWE Tag Team Champions. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns." Justin Roberts announced. 

They walk through the crowd and jump over the barricade. It was always a rush walking through the audience. Occasionally Morgan would tag some hands or bump fists. 

"Boy do The Shield look ready tonight." JBL said. 

Morgan walks at ringside as Roman and Seth get in the ring and raise up their titles.

'I hear voices in my head'

The crowd gives Orton a loud reception as he walks out and then Daniel Bryan comes out as the crowd yells yes. As Daniel does his entrance, Seth, Roman and Morgan stand together at ringside. 

"Very odd couple but Kane, Orton and Bryan knocked off The Shield on Smackdown. Also, earlier tonight, Ambrose defeated Kane. Will The Shield follow suit?" Cole asked. "I expect The Shield to win just like Ambrose." JBL went on.

'Ding Ding Ding'

Daniel and Roman start the match. Daniel starts fighting back at Roman but Roman clotheslines him and throws him to his corner. 

"Don't touch him Seth." The ref warned.

"I ain't got nothing." Seth replied.

Roman starts giving Bryan punches at the turnbuckle but the ref pulls him back. As the ref was busy with Roman, Seth gave Bryan a punch in the head. Later on, Roman and Seth keep tagging each other in to keep control of Daniel Bryan.

'Daniel Bryan' chants surround the arena as Daniel gives Roman a flying clothesline. 

"Get up! Common, common get up!" Seth urged as Roman tried to crawl to him.

"Let's go Roman!" Morgan banged on the mat.

Daniel tags in Orton as Roman tags in Seth. Randy starts hitting Seth with clotheslines and then a scoop slam. He puts Seth on the apron, preparing for the DDT but Roman crawls on the apron. He puts Seth down and DDTs Roman instead as Morgan checks on him. Meanwhile, as Morgan continues to check on Roman, Seth rolls out the ring when Orton was getting ready for the RKO. Orton puts his head between the ropes, only to get super punched by Reigns.

Seth rolls Orton back in the ring to pin him only to get a two count. The Shield start gaining control of Orton as RVD chants surround the arena. Roman goes shoulder first to the steel post and then Orton throws Seth on his head near Roman. 

"Oh! Dropped Rollins right on his head!" Cole exclaimed as Morgan held her neck, cringing at the impact 

"Now Randy tag your partner." King says.

"Seth! Roman! Are you all right?" She yelled

Orton gets the tag as Daniel Bryan gets on the turnbuckle and gives Seth and Roman a missile dropkick. Bryan runs to Roman lying on the turnbuckle and gives him a flying kick to the face and does the same to Rollins. He throws Roman out the ring as Rollins runs in but gets thrown out on top of Roman. Morgan runs to them to help them as Randy starts to get himself up by holding the barricade.

"Heads up!" She warned as Daniel was about to run through the ropes.

Roman and Morgan move to one side and Seth moves to the other side as Daniel hits Orton with the flying dive instead. 

"Oh no." Cole shouted.

"Oh no is right." King said as Roman laid Daniel out with a clothesline. "It is a wreck at ringside."

Near the end of the match, Daniel has the yes lock on Rollins but Roman breaks it up. Roman gets in his spear position but Orton tries to do the RKO. Roman pushes him near Bryan as they stop each other from running into each other. Randy pushes past Bryan but Bryan gets speared by Reigns in the process.

"Spear!" Cole exclaimed. Orton gives Roman the RKO as soon as he turns around. "RKO!" 

Rollins hits Daniel with a knee to the head and pins him for the win.

"Yes!" Morgan shouted with a grin and got in the ring to hug Seth. 

Roman recovers and gets back in the ring as Morgan hugs him too.

"Here are your winners, and still your WWE Tag Team Champions...Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns." Justin Roberts announced.

"Randy avoided the collision with Daniel Bryan and also a spear but gets blindsided by Rollins." Cole recapped.

"A great team always beat great individuals," JBL said as Orton looked annoyed.

"Randy is not looking happy."

"Not at all." King replied.

Morgan raises Seth and Roman's arms in victory. 

"What a successful night for The Shield." Cole said.

Morgan tweets 'Snooze you lose buddy. No matter what, I'm staying with The Shield #ImStillABeliever #IBelieve'

'Raw'

Celeste and Melanie are in catering. "Last night was fun." Celeste chuckled

"Fun? You, Brie and Nicole jumped me with pillows! Pillows! Hard pillows too, not the soft, kiddy kind." Melanie exclaimed.

"Hey, you asked for it. So did you think of a plan to get Colby?"

"Already did. I put his wrestling attire in the freezer."

"Hahaha. The freezer? That's a weird spot."

"Hey, this is just the beginning. I can do better. I'm going easy on him for now."

"MELANIE!" Celeste and Melanie hear a loud yell. Melanie snaps her head back and sees Colby glaring at her with his attire in his hands.

"Hey, how ya doing?" She asked with a grin.

"My wrestling attire in the freezer? The freezer?" Colby slowly asked.

"How long did you put his attire in the freezer?" Celeste asked.

"It's been in the freezer for a few hours now." Melanie replied.

"I'm gonna get you good." He said determinedly. "You ain't seen nothing yet."

"Whatever you say. Have fun being cold tonight."

Colby stormed off. "You sure he isn't mad?" Celeste asked.

"Nah, I'm always pissed off at him when he pranks me. We laugh about it hours later."

"Well, you won this round. I think putting Colby's ring attire in the freezer beats him taking your gloves."

Melanie gives her a high five. "Oh yeah."

'In The Ring'

Morgan, Seth and Roman get ready to interfere in Dean's match. In the ring Kane was taking control and had just got done hitting Ambrose with an attack over the top rope.

"Let's move." Roman said as Morgan and Seth ran with him into the ring. 

Roman gets in the ring but gets punched by Kane and the ref calls for the bell.

"Here comes Roman Reigns and the rest of The Shield!" Cole exclaimed. 

Rollins gets on the top rope and jumps to Kane but gets caught in a chokeslam hold. Ambrose gets up and is also caught in his hold.

Roman recovers from Kane's punch and spears Kane. Morgan watches on from the apron.

"This match barely got under way." King says. "Now it's the 4 on 1 assault."

Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns hit the Triple Powerbomb on Kane while Morgan gets in the ring. 

"Now here comes Morgan. She always follows the triple powerbomb with a sinister kick to the face." Cole looked on as The Shield pick Kane up so Morgan can kick him. After they look at the damage they caused, they head backstage.

"Vickie Guerrero is now being put on the spot, wonder what Vickie is going to do about this. Somebody needs to get in control of this situation. The Shield is out of control." Cole went on.

'Backstage'

The Shield walk backstage. "Ahh yeah..." Ambrose sighed, putting an arm around Morgan as they walk together with Roman and Seth walking behind them.

"We run this place." Rollins bragged.

"I second that." Morgan replied with a smile.

But then The Shield stop as they see Vickie and Brad Maddox and Ambrose removes his arm from Morgan.

Vickie was seething. "Who do you think you are, I told the three of you to not get involved! You must remember that I am your boss," she exclaimed as she pointed at them.

"And now there will be uh what was it? Severe ramifications?" Ambrose asked as Seth and Roman snickered

"Vickie, no matter what you say, they won't listen...trust me, I tried months ago and it didn't seem to work. What makes you think you'll make a difference?" Morgan bluntly added.

"You better watch it." Vickie threatened.

"Or what?" Morgan tilted her head to the side. "Amuse me,"

"What are you gonna do Vickie? Spank us?" Ambrose asked.

"You're gonna slap us on the wrist You're gonna put us on timeout?" Seth chuckled. "Nah...Vickie maybe for now on, you should think about what you're doing, before you do it."

Vickie starts glaring at them

"Aw, does grandma need a nap? Does granny need to take a chill pill? Hm?" Morgan asked as Vickie started to step up to them

"You're..." Vickie began.

"Hey, how ya doing guys? Vickie? Morgan?" Vince greeted as the crowd gave him a big pop. "Awesome match." He said to Ambrose and began to shake hands with The Shield.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." Ambrose smiled as he looked at Vickie.

"You guys remind me of me. We're talking ruthless aggression. Way to go. Keep it up. Have a good night."

"Thank you." Ambrose said and walked away with his team

"Believe that." Rollins said

'Smackdown'

Kaitlyn and Morgan watch backstage as AJ wins her match against Natalya. 

"She may be grinning now but she once when she goes up against her next challenger she won't be." Morgan said with her arms crossed.

Kaitlyn starts to look angry and begins to crush her water bottle and Aksana walks up to them. 

"Wait, wait, wait, isn't this the same move AJ beat you with? Trash..." Aksana said to Kaitlyn and turned around to walk away. All of a sudden, Kaitlyn throws her water bottle at her head as she falls to the floor.

"Whoa! Whoa!" Morgan exclaimed as Kaitlyn began unloading on her. "Kaitlyn it's not worth it!"

Kaitlyn throws Aksana into the trash can. "You want trash!?" She yelled and threw a pile of trash at Aksana. 

Aksana recovers and tries to fight back but then Layla, Cameron, Naomi try to break up the fight. Morgan helps Kaitlyn up but pushes her back slightly.

"You need to calm down." The Shield's girl narrowed her eyes at her friend. She turned to Aksana who was held back by Naomi and Cameron. "And you need to back off and mind your business."

Aksana escapes the arms of Cameron and Naomi. "And who are you to tell me what to do? You're trash too...no wait...you're dirt." She snapped and slapped Morgan in the face.

"Whoa!" Cameron exclaimed as Morgan rubbed the side of her cheek.

"Did you hear that slap? Cole exclaimed

Aksana quickly ran away before she could react as Morgan removed her hand from her face and exhaled slowly. 

"You see, this is why I hate being nice...She better upgrade her insurance, because I'm going to put her in a hospital." Morgan spoke in a dark tone and walked away as the divas tried to calm down Kaitlyn.

Morgan tweets 'How do you expect to call someone trash/dirt and get away with it? That's a ticket to getting your butt kicked #ASAP'

Later on Smackdown, the screen splits, the left side has Morgan walking with her wrestling attire and hoodie on her head as she pounds her fist. The right side has Aksana walking with a flirty smile as the Smackdown theme 'Born 2 Run' is in the background. 

"Well, Morgan seeks revenge on Aksana for the stinging slap. Will she get her revenge? We'll find out next." Cole said as they went to commercials.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Smackdown comes back from commercials, the cameras go to the announce table. "Welcome back to Friday Night Smackdown. Moments ago during the commercial break, we got word that Aksana bumped into someone." Cole informed.

"And who might that be?" JBL asked.

"Let's watch to find out on the WWE APP as Aksana gets a chilling message," Cole said as it showed the clip on the titantron.

It shows Aksana walking backstage with a flirty smile. She stops dead in her tracks and her smile quickly drops as she sees Dean Ambrose in front of her, leaning on a wall. He slowly turns his head towards her and starts to give her a death stare which gives her chills down her spine. She starts to feel intimidated by his look and begins backing up. She turns around, only to shriek as she bumps into Rollins and Reigns. 

"We saw the little stunt you pulled on Morgan. Bad move. Looks like someone doesn't know it is an injustice to put your hands on the Thorn of Justice. Especially calling her dirt." Rollins said with a frown.

"Thanks boys...I got it from here." Ambrose said as Rollins and Reigns walked away. Aksana looks scared as she turns around while Ambrose stares her down. "So I guess you expect Morgan to be...intimidated by you because you slapped her and called her dirt, right? Is that what you think?" 

Aksana starts to look petrified. She wanted to run but she had nowhere to go as he continued to paralyze her with fear.

"Well, she's not. And never will be." Ambrose paused and leaned in closely. "I'm going to say this once and once only...If you ever call her dirt again, I will make sure to show you what dirt is. You see, I don't like it when people mess with my woman, and I don't give people mercy for doing it, either. Now, I would make you suffer but I'll let Morgan do that for me. I hope this beating tonight shows you to never mess with my woman again...Do you understand me?" 

Aksana remained silent as she looked away in fear. 

"...I said...do you understand me?" Ambrose asked in a dark tone. Aksana, regretting her actions from earlier, quickly nodded. "Good. Now don't you have a match to get to?" he coldly asked as she quickly ran away.

Back at the commentating table, Aksana walks out with fear, clearly showing on her face. "Wow, I wonder how Aksana is going to act in this match. She looks disturbed." Cole said.

"She didn't get the memo to never mess with The Shield." JBL said.

"Do you think Morgan had something to do with Ambrose talking to Aksana?"

"No. Even though Ambrose has some screws loose, he meant what he said about how he doesn't like it when people mess with his woman. And that I respect." JBL praised.

'In the arena'

Melanie and Joe get ready to walk through the crowd as they hear fans in food lines cheering for them.

"Morgan I love you!"

"It's the Shield!"

"Roman!"

"Believe in The Shield!" 

The fans would cheer. Melanie grinned at the fans and waved at them. Fans thought she looked so cute smiling and waving even though she played a bad character

Joe puts water over his head and hands her the water bottle so she can do the same to test out if she likes the style.

"Ready?" Joe asked and a smile

"Yep, let's do this!" she flashed him a grin and bumped her fist with his. 

Once they heard The Shield's theme song, Melanie quickly got into character, showing off a serious and angry expression before walking out with Joe as Morgan Lopez. Fans who caught how quickly she changed her expression were impressed with her character work and posted about it on Twitter

After jumping over the barricade, Morgan gets in the ring while Aksana starts hiding behind the ref. Roman stood at ringside, amused at the sight.

"Looks like Aksana doesn't want to go through this match up." Cole observed.

"She can run but she can't hide. She's in The Shield's yard now." JBL said. 

After the ref manages to get away from Aksana, he calls for the bell. Morgan stands there as she stares Aksana down.

"I'm surprised Morgan hasn't thrown her around the ring yet." Cole looked on.

Aksana reluctantly walks toward Morgan and has her hand out. "How about we shake on it and forget about all this?" Aksana pleaded.

"Look at Aksana trying to ask for forgiveness." Cole observed. 

Morgan starts to smile and grabs her hand to shake it. Moments later, Aksana tries to pull away but Morgan's smile fades into a frown as she keeps holding her hand. She pulls Aksana into a hard clothesline as the commentators 'oohed' while witnessing the impact. 

She roughly grabs Aksana by the hair and makes her face her. "What happened to you earlier?! You acted so big and tough, what happened now? Huh!? HUH!?"

"Get off her hair, Morgan! Before I disqualify you!" The ref warned.

"Well make it a no DQ match!" she snapped at the ref and threw her down. 

Aksana gets on her hands and knees but gets kicked in the gut as she yells out in pain.

"Morgan needs to control her anger before it costs her the match," Cole warned as she put Aksana's neck on the bottom rope and began to choke her with her foot.

"You think you're so tough, huh!? Do you!?" Morgan yelled.

"Morgan! Get off of her! 1! 2! 3! 4!" The ref yelled as Morgan released the hold.

"Would you be quiet?!" She yelled at the ref.

"Are you questioning my calls on this match? I'm the referee." 

"Well shut up then! You're annoying me!"

"Morgan better control her temper and stop arguing with the ref." Cole said

"I'm the ref! I will Disqualify you!" The ref said as he showed her his shirt as she rolled her eyes.

She throws Aksana to the turnbuckle and walks towards her but gets kicked in the stomach. She hits Morgan with a quick kick in the face as she stumbles on the butt. 

"Looks like Aksana wants to end this match quickly so she can get out of here," Cole observed as she tried to go for a pin but got a one count.

"Aksana get back in the ring! 1! 2! 3!" The ref began as she rolled out the ring, wanting to quit.

Morgan rubbed her jaw and turned to the ramp to see her opponent trying to leave. 

"No way." She muttered and slid out of the ring. "Stay here, I got this." She told Roman as he nodded in response.

Aksana starts running backstage with Morgan right on her tail. 

"Is this match going to be a falls count anywhere match?" JBL asked while the ref began to count again, wondering if the divas would come back in the ring. The crowd begins to cheer once Morgan walks out with Aksana by dragging her back to the ring by her right foot.

"No!" Aksana screamed as the front of her body dragged down the ramp. 

"Oh my gosh, she's dragging her to the ring," Cole exclaimed.

"8!" The ref counted as Morgan dragged her to the end of the ramp. 

She grabs her by the hair and tosses her back in the ring and gets in the ring too. Aksana quickly rolls out the ring, again and gets chased around by the Philly diva until she bumps into Roman. Scared, she turns around but gets dropped down with a clothesline by The Shield's girl. She ends up throwing Aksana to the steel steps as the crowd Oh'ed at the impact.

"Morgan calm down. Calm down!" Cole yelled.

"Never tell me to calm down! Do you hear me?" She snapped at Cole as she walked over to him. "Do you hear me!?"

"Yes! Yes, I hear you." Cole quickly replied.

"You got something else to say to me?"

"No, I do not."

"Good." She walks back to Aksana and begins to throw her against the barricade and then the apron as the ref counts to 7.

"Morgan has completely lost her mind tonight. Daniel Bryan and Kane need to get her in anger management." Cole shook his head.

"She is just frustrated. She'll get over it." JBL defended her.

"Whenever Morgan is mad, she is a whole different person. She becomes ruthless and aggressive quickly. Why isn't Roman calming her down?"

"It's The Shield. They're aggressive. One of the best tag teams in the history of WWE."

"Morgan! Get in the ring!" The ref warned. "I will count you out!"

Morgan throws Aksana into the ring. 

"Morgan doesn't get high risk often like she used to, but when she does, she's effective," Cole said as she hit Aksana with a crossbody. She goes for the pin but stops after the ref says two. "Looks like Morgan wants to do some more damage Aksana. I'm not surprised."

"She's trying to send a message," JBL said.

"This would be a back and forth match if Ambrose didn't give Aksana that chilling message. Now Aksana can't even think straight and wants to leave the ring."

"Don't let Ambrose hear you say that."

"You're right. I'll keep my mouth shut."

"Wise move Cole."

Morgan walks back to a corner and waits for Aksana to get up. She runs towards her and hits her with a spear. "Whoa! Did you see that impact? Nearly broke Aksana in half!" Cole exclaimed as Roman grinned in approval.

"1!"

"2!"

"3! Ring the bell!" The ref yelled.

The Shield's theme comes on as Morgan glares at Aksana. Roman gets in the ring and bumps his fist with hers.

"Nice spear," he praised and they put their fists out. "Believe in The Shield!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fans tweet:

'That spear was #Siiiccckkk! #SmackDown'

'Morgan served some justice to Aksana'

'Hahaha, I loved how Morgan dragged Aksana. #Smackdown'

'#Smackdown Morgan doesn't need anger management. She doesn't get angry often.'

'I love how Morgan snaps at everyone. First the ref, now Cole.'

'LOL Morgan is crazy when she's pissed off.'

'Note to self, never get Morgan angry.'

'Next Week, Raw'

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Brad Maddox and Vickie." King said as the crowd boos them in the ring. "Now for this game, there is a contest. The contest will allow you, the WWE Universe to design and create a cover for this year's video game. The winning submission will have their cover put on the flipside of every copy of the WWE 2K14 video game."

"Excuse me!" Vickie tries to speak but King cuts her off.

"Wait a minute, I'm not through yet Vickie, please. I gotta tell them to go on the website for more details for their cover. Now excuse you about what?"

"I will take it from here, Jerry. Thank you so much." Vickie said with a grin as the crowd boos her. "Now, having your voices to be heard is very important...Excuse me!?"

The crowd's boos get louder and louder. "This is so unfair!" Vickie whined to King and Brad. "EXCUSE ME!?"

"This is disrespectful," JBL said as the crowd continues to boo Vickie.

"Now, I have­-"

"Blah blah blah...Excuse you, excuse you, excuse you..." Morgan's voice cuts Vickie off as the crowd quickly begins to cheer.

"Is that-­" Cole trailed off as the camera showed Morgan slowly walking down the steps of the arena in the crowd in her wrestling attire. "It is! It's Morgan!"

"I heard she was going to help reveal the cover. She's been in the scoops about it." JBL said

"Oh, this is so unfair, oh my gosh. Waaaahh." Morgan imitated Vickie

"Excuse me!?" Vickie yelled

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Morgan!" King announced as the crowd cheers.

"Thanks Jerry. Appreciate it." The Philly diva replied and jumped over the barricade. He sits on the middle rope for her as she gets in the ring.

"What are you doing here? No one wants you to help reveal the cover! Go away!" Vickie yelled

"Aw, no one wants me to help reveal the cover? Does the WWE Universe want me to help reveal the cover?" Morgan asked as the crowd erupted in cheers. "Seems like this city actually likes me. I'm flattered."

"Are you kidding me!?" Vickie rolled her eyes and continued to speak. "Now, I have designed my own cover for the WWE2K14 video game. And this cover shows great leadership and how there's true leaders making great decisions."

"Great decisions? You can make a great decision by taking your butt backstage and let me take over with King." Morgan replied while Brad Maddox chuckled. "And what are you laughing at? You too. Don't think you're off the hook Mad OX, you got something to say?"

Maddox started to clear his throat and looked away. 

"Here is my cover!" Vickie yelled over everyone and revealed her cover which showed Vince, Triple H and Stephanie. Morgan rolls her eyes as the crowd boos the cover.

"Corny! Corny! Corny!" Morgan chanted and so did the crowd. Morgan, Maddox and King watch the crowd chant corny.

"Who do you think you are?!" Vickie exclaimed.

"I'd doubt anyone would want to buy the game with that cover. I mean, there are much more deserving people that should be on the cover." Morgan mentioned. 

Vickie starts to have a temper tantrum as Morgan looks at her in amusement. She starts screaming in her face as Morgan continues to look at her. After Vickie was done, Morgan put the mic to her lips and paused for a few seconds. 

"...You done?" she asked as the crowd laughed.

"No, I am not done!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now?"

"No!"

"Now!?"

"No!"

"Oh my gosh, shut up! Your voice is like nails on a chalkboard!" Morgan covered her ears. Vickie crosses her arms and huffs. The crowd starts to chant 'Thank you Morgan'

"You are very welcome." She replied to the crowd as the crowd cheered her on.

"That's a great cover, Vickie." Maddox spoke up.

Morgan scoffed. "No, it ain't...you don't gotta lie my dude,"

"I designed my own cover. It is the future of Monday night Raw." Maddox said and revealed his cover which shows John Cena, CM Punk and him in the middle. 

"I am your boss, how dare you? How dare you do that? You didn't even ask permission." Vickie snapped at him.

Morgan looked at King and he nodded. "Excuse me? Excuse me?" King asked. "How about we all see the real cover of the brand new WWE2K14 game?"

"Yes, that would be nice." Morgan said as the crowd erupted in cheers. "Drum roll please." 

"Check this out." King announced as an explosion happens on top of the ring and a poster of the cover is revealed. It shows The Rock as his theme comes on. "Oh yeah!"

"Nice..." Morgan cheered with a grin.

"The Rock!" Cole exclaimed.

"Can you smell what the cover is cooking Vickie?" King asked while Morgan high fives him.

"The Rock on the cover of WWE2K14. It's available in October but you can preorder it now." Cole announced.

'Backstage'

Colby and Melanie get ready for their tag match. "You ready?" Colby asked.

"I'm ready, are you ready?" She responded.

"Hell yeah, are you ready to do some justice?"

"Yeah, I'm ready to do some justice, are you ready to make them believe?"

"Yeah, I'm ready to make them believe. Are you ready to serve some justice?"

"Oh yeah!" she replied in a hyped voice, getting pumped as she high fived him.

"What the heck was that?" Joe asked in confusion.

"Haha, our little prematch warm-up. We get each other hyped up." Melanie replied with a smile.

"You two are goofy." Jon mumbled.

'In the ring'

Seth and Morgan with The Shield in their corner, go up against Naomi and Brodus with Sweet T and Cameron in their corner. Morgan watches Brodus take control of Rollins. 

"Come on Seth!" Morgan cheered on.

"Seth! Come on!" Reigns yelled as Rollins got headbutted by Brodus. 

Luckily, Rollins fights back and tags in Morgan. She gets in the ring as Brodus tags in Naomi. They lock up and Naomi puts Morgan in a headlock. Morgan elbows her and begins to take control of her. Later on, Morgan throws her out of the ring and tags in Rollins and manages to get Brodus out of the ring.

"Morgan." Seth called out as she got in the ring.

"What are they planning?" King asked.

All of a sudden, Rollins and Morgan run through the ropes as they dive on top of their opponents.

"Wow!" Cole shouted as the crowd cheered for them. 

Seth and Morgan recover and she gets on the apron so Seth can tag her in. She gets off the apron to throw Naomi back in the ring and pins her for a two count. She starts to take control of her and puts her in a camel clutch. The crowd motivates Naomi to get out of the hold as she powers out. Naomi begins hitting her with clotheslines and then hits her with a front flip clothesline.

"Woo! Go girl!" Cameron cheered.

Naomi waits for Morgan to get up to hit her with the rear view and taunts the crowd. 

"Naomi is on fire tonight!" King exclaimed. She gets on the apron and hits the Philly diva with a jumping leg drop from the ropes, putting all her weight on her as the crowd cheers. "Whoa!"

"How did Morgan kick out of that?" Cole asked as she kicked out at two. 

Morgan rubs her neck as she tries to recover. Naomi was about to grab her but she trips her as Naomi hits her neck and face on the ropes. She rolls over to Seth to give him a tag.

"Rollins and Morgan are an interesting team to watch." King complimented

Later on in the match, Brodus takes control of Seth. Ambrose and Reigns think of a game plan as Morgan tries to cheer on Seth.

Morgan turned to Reigns and Ambrose. "Ready?"

They give her a nod. The ref starts to get distracted by Ambrose as he gets on the ropes. As the ref gets distracted, Roman spears Sweet T. 

"Spear by Reigns!" Cole exclaimed. 

Cameron walks over to Ambrose as he gets off the apron with a satisfied smirk. She slaps him in the face as the crowd cheers her on. Morgan scowls and jumps off the apron while Cameron taunts the crowd. As soon as she turns around, she gets speared by her.

"Morgan isn't going to settle for that. Do not touch her man!" JBL looked on. 

Naomi gets off the apron and runs to grab Morgan off her friend. She walks back and runs towards her to hit her with a rear view but Morgan quickly backs up to avoid the attack. Taking advantage, she grabs Naomi by the hair and brings her down, putting her knee on her back.

"What a backbreaker!" Cole exclaimed. Morgan gets back on the apron as she sees Rollins giving Brodus a knee to the head to win the match.

"Here are your winners! The Shield!" Justin Roberts announced as The Shield celebrate in the ring and put their fists out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fans tweet:

'Award for best Mixed Tag Team? Rollins and Morgan win that hands down.'

'#BestMixedTagTeam Rollins and Morgan owned that match!'

'Later'

After their match, Melanie sees Colby taking a nap on the couch. She sneaks and writes on his forehead with a black marker that says 'Melanie rules' and takes a photo and posts it on Twitter by saying 'First offense #MelanieRules'

After 30 minutes, Colby wakes up and sees Joe and Jon trying hard not to laugh. "She got me didn't she?"

"Nah, everything's fine." Jon reassured.

He walks to the bathroom and sees his forehead. "Haha, very funny Melanie."

'Smackdown'

Morgan is in the ring. AJ's theme comes on as she watches AJ skip to the ring with the Diva's Championship. As AJ gives the belt to a producer, her entrance theme comes on again as everyone looks confused. They see Kaitlyn wearing AJ's ring attire and her hair looks like AJ's. She starts skipping around while Morgan covers her mouth to try not to laugh. 

"Daniel Bryan...CM Punk....Kane...John Cena...Dolph Ziggler. You sure know your way around the dating game AJ." Kaitlyn spoke on the mic.

"Oh, you're so funny." AJ snapped, glaring at her.

"And it's also recently been brought to my attention that you dated our very own WWE timekeeper."

"What?" Cole asked.

"I knew it." JBL said

"Wow..." Morgan murmured as she had her arms crossed.

Kaitlyn chuckled. "Wait wait. There's also some rumors saying that you have had some...very physical examinations from Doctor Samson."

"That's not funny!" AJ screamed as the crowd Ohs.

"Wait. That's not even the juiciest part." Kaitlyn cleared her throat. "I heard that you were recently involved with South Carolina's very own Lilian Garcia! Hahaha."

'Ding ding ding'

AJ is angry and turns to Morgan. They circle around each other in the ring and lock up. AJ takes control and hits her with a spinning kick in the face as Morgan falls down the mat. Suddenly, Kaitlyn begins skipping around the ring. 

"That's not funny Kaitlyn! You're not funny!" AJ screamed

"AJ is losing it folks." Cole said with amusement.

AJ turns around to get hit by a backfire and gets caught in Morgan's submission. She quickly taps out as the crowd cheered. Quickly getting out the ring, Morgan taunts the crowd while AJ looked on in shock.

"She just made the Diva's Champion tap out!" Cole shouted.

The ref holds Morgan's hand in victory as she grins.

"We may be looking at a new divas champion," JBL said while Kaitlyn laughed. "Or maybe a triple threat match. AJ can't believe she tapped out so quickly."

'Next day'

Melanie wakes up in her hotel room and sees Celeste snickering at her. 

"What? What did he do?" She gets out of bed and starts checking her bed to see if he did anything to it.

"You'll see..." was all that Celeste had said while Melanie headed to the bathroom.

"OOH! He is so dead!" She yelled, looking at her face which was covered in random makeup and writing on her forehead that said 'Colby Rulez'

Celeste laughed. "He asked for my makeup so I gave it to him."

"I look like a clown!"

Forced to Believe Chapter 4- My First Wrestlemania

Chapter Summary: Morgan is caught in a situation where she may have to be forced into The Shield. Morgan experiences her first wrestlemania 

Words: 6,000+

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We have gotten word that Randy and Sheamus are looking for her. I just hope she's safe." Cole said.

"Safe? She's ALONE with The Shield!" JBL exclaimed.

"I wonder what they wanted to discuss with her."

"I just hope they don't hurt her. Never trust Heyman. That's a lesson Morgan needs to learn. What was she thinking?"

The crowd tweets:

'Yes! The Shield finally got Morgan where they want her'

'Can't believe Morgan fell into their trap. Hope she escapes'

'Morgan is in serious trouble now. #Payback'

'Shield finally sees how good of a diva Morgan is. I hope they recruit her'

'Smackdown'

Morgan tweets, 'A little shaken up but I will be on Smackdown tonight. #RiskyDecisions'

Orton and Sheamus were in the ring with The Miz for a segment of Miz TV.

"Before we get started, there is another guest. So let's bring out Morgan!" Miz announced

Morgan comes out to a big pop from the crowd. She gets in the ring. Randy and Sheamus look relieved that she is okay.

"Are you okay?" Randy asked.

"I'm fine. They didn't do anything." Morgan reassured

"Morgan, on Main Event you got into a sticky situation. And the question that is on everyone's mind is...What did The Shield want to talk to you about?" Miz asked

"...They want a stipulation to the match..." She grumbled

"What stipulation?" Randy questioned, not liking where this was headed.

"They want to settle this rivalry with me, once and for all. They are willing to take some risks. So...if they win at WrestleMania...I'm a part of The Shield. If they lose, they'll leave me alone for good...and, I can't get involved in the match. It's up to you guys. If I hit them, I'm automatically a part of The Shield."

"And do you agree with their stipulation?" Miz asked

"Yes, because I would rather take the chance of them losing a match for them to leave me alone than to endure their mind games. I want this. I want this to be over."

"So the question remains...Who will your partner be?" Miz questioned, while Morgan looked at Randy.

"Well, Miz...my choice is the same man that came down into the ring, Monday Night on Raw to help Sheamus and I when The Shield was about to pounce on us yet again. And that man's name is...The Big Show." Randy answered.

Miz turned to Sheamus. "Sheamus, is this your choice as well?"

"You know Miz, if it weren't for The Big Show, we would of gotten our arses kicked by The Shield. But as far as The Big Show being our tag team partner, I've discussed this with Orton, I don't trust him." the Celtic Warrior replied.

"Sheamus, I don't trust him either but the fact is, I don't trust anybody. But sometimes you gotta do whatever it takes to survive. And at WrestleMania, I want that big, bad, angry giant on my side." Orton mentioned

"Well instead of talking about him, how 'bout we bring him out! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, The World's Largest Athlete, The Big Show!" Miz announced as the Big Show came out and got in the ring. "Big Show, I think you can agree with Sheamus's issues about mistrust, I mean, I was your former tag team partner and the way you ended it was by knocking me out but I trust you as far as I can throw you."

"Well, that might mean something if your opinion actually mattered to me. Don't be confused out here by being out here with these gentlemen and young lady. All right? I've dated women bigger than you, so zip your lip. As far as you two gentlemen, I've done something that no one else has done before. I knocked out one of the members of The Shield. We don't have to like each other. And I can't stand you two personally, but, if we work together, no one, not even The Shield can stop us." Show said.

"But how do I know that when times get tough, you won't leave the two of us hanging?" Sheamus asked.

"Leave you hanging? If I tucked tail and run, I wouldn't have beaten you for the World Heavyweight Championship now would I?"

Sheamus and Show start to get in each other's faces while Randy and Morgan try to separate them.

"Hey! Hey, hey, guys! We need to work together. We need to get along." Randy exclaimed.

"Really?" Miz asked.

"Really..." Morgan replied.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Really?" Miz asked again as she face palmed. "Really? Really? Orton is the voice of reason in this crew. What has this world come to? Are you kidding me?"

"You know, this is not gonna work." Sheamus said.

"If you pull your head­-" Show began but Booker T's theme came on and he walked out to the stage

"Now wait a minute, guys. You see, I need to know if this can work. I need to know if you can coexist. I need to know, if you three men, can get along for the sake of Morgan since her fate is in your hands. So we gonna find out. So Big Show, Randy, Sheamus, you three will team up in a six-man, tag team, main event, tonight!" Booker announced.

"I love it!" JBL cheered

"Now can, you, dig, that! Sucka!?" Booker exclaimed as his theme came back on.

Randy appeared to look annoyed and Sheamus and Show stared each other down while Morgan looked at the three with worry. She truly hoped things worked out. She did not want to be a part of The Shield.

Seth tweets, 'At WrestleMania, WWEMorgan101, you will have no choice but to believe in The Shield.'

Morgan replies, 'IF! You win. You won't. Not this time. I won't be #ForcedToBelieve'

To The Commentators'

"On the WWE APP, you can watch the exclusive video of The Shield's talk with Morgan." Cole announced. "Let's see what happened."

On the titantron, It showed Morgan standing in front of Ambrose as Seth and Roman are behind her.

"Morgan, Morgan, Morgan..." Ambrose murmured.

"Take a seat," Seth ordered.

"I'd rather stand..." Morgan muttered under her breath.

"So you can try to run again? Sit down. Now!" Roman shouted.

The sound of his voice made her flinch and she quickly took a seat.

"...What do you want?" She narrowed her eyes at the three.

"We want you a part of The Shield." Roman revealed

"What makes you think I would want to be a part of The Shield? Seriously, after all the stuff you've done to me? What are you on? You must be on something to ask me something like this." She said as she looked at them like they were crazy.

"We knew you'd say that. So, we want a stipulation to the match. If we win, you will be a part of The Shield." Seth requested.

"Hell no." Morgan retorted

"If we lose, we'll leave you alone." Ambrose added. That request made her ponder for a moment, as he kneeled down to her level. "Now do you reconsider?"

"...You wackjobs will leave me alone?" She asked in a wary tone.

"Choice is yours. We're willing to take the risks." Ambrose said as he stood up again.

"Why me?"

"You'd make a good recruit. Working together we'd be unstoppable," Rollins answered, thinking of the future with her as The Shield's Girl.

Sure they all didn't see eye to eye with Morgan since she came to the main roster but they saw the potential and could use that to thrive even more. And not to mention Dean's growing obsession with her was another cause of why this idea came about.

"...I can't believe I'm doing this..." Morgan murmured as she started to think she should just go with it.

"Glad we all agree on something," Ambrose smirked while Roman and Seth leave, looking satisfied.

"Where are they going?" she asks.

"Relax...I'm not going to hurt you." he gets behind her, kneeling back down. He gets closer to her ear, speaking in a dark, serious tone. "I want you...to deliver a message to Orton. Tell him, I'll be the one to pin him and to make you Believe in The Shield."

Morgan looked down, replaying his words in his head.

"Feeling confident, now, darlin'?" Ambrose added and placed a kiss on her cheek before leaving.

She wiped the side of her cheek in disgust and ran a hand through her hair, watching him walk away with a troubled look.

"I still can't believe Morgan agreed to this. This is a huge risk." Cole said.

"She knows what she's doing," JBL reassured.

Morgan tweets four tweets. 'The Shield are nuts #WackJobsOfJustice'

'You got Ambrose #TheJoker who is obsessed with me, so I guess that makes me #MorganTheBatGirl'

'And you got the other two who always catch me running away and order me around. #I'mNotAStudentAnymore'

'I Cleaned my face from the kiss of death Ambrose gave to #MyPoorCheek Just glad it wasn't on the lips. #BatGirlWillStrikeBack '

'In The Ring'

During Randy, Sheamus and Show's match against 3MB, Morgan managed Randy's team. She saw Show spearing Jinder and then get kicked in the face by Drew.

Sheamus tagged himself in as Show punched Drew in the face. Sheamus delivered his finisher on Jinder to win the match. But then Show and Sheamus start to get in each other's faces.

"Hey, hey, hey guys stop!" Randy yelled and tried to separate the two. "Break it up, break it up."

'Sierra' 'Hotel' 'India' 'Echo' 'Lima' 'Delta' 'Shield'

"Oh boy!" Cole yelled

"It's party time. Here we go!" JBL looked on with anticipation as Randy and his team looked at The Shield.

But then Show pushes Sheamus out his way and then Sheamus pushes him back.

"Stop! Don't do this, now!" Morgan yelled as Show grabbed Sheamus by the neck and shoved him to a corner.

Sheamus tried to fight him off while Randy attempted to break it up. Show retaliated by pushing Orton away. Morgan watched with worry as it looked like both Orton and Sheamus were going at it with Big Show as she tried to stop them so they could focus on The Shield.

As The Shield quickly got to ringside, everybody turned their attention to them and it made them hesitate and stop themselves from getting in the ring.

"The numbers game is not in The Shield's favor tonight." Cole said.

'Next week, Raw'

Backstage, Morgan is with Matt Striker. "My guest at this time, Morgan Lopez. Now Morgan, the stipulation for your match against Alicia Fox is that if you lose, you have to go back to NXT. What are your thoughts?" he asked

"I know some of you guys don't like the divas matches and think of it as a bathroom break but I promise that this WrestleMania match will be worth watching. I have worked so damn long and hard to get here and I will not let Alicia take this dream away from me."

All of a sudden, Alicia attacks Morgan with a cake in her hands and then does her finisher on her.

"Oh! Yet another cheap shot by Alicia." Cole exclaimed as the refs helped Morgan as she was covered in cake.

Morgan tweets, 'ANOTHER cake? This time vanilla? Come on! Next time, I'll be the one throwing the cake in your face. #CakeWithYourNameOnIt #CakeFace'

'Next week on Raw'

3MB fought Randy, Show, and Sheamus in the ring as Morgan is at ringside once again looking on. Show won the match by his knock-out punch and Morgan got in the ring to celebrate with them.

'Sierra' 'Hotel' 'India' 'Echo' 'Lima' 'Delta' 'Shield'

The Shield comes out and stands in the crowd.

"Congrats on that big victory boys, but will you do it to save Morgan at WrestleMania? But continue with your little dance, celebrate while you can, because this coming Sunday, I'm personally looking forward to the beautiful Morgan to join The Shield. She will be called...The Thorn of Justice. The Shield's Girl. And most importantly...Mine," Dean said in a smug voice while Morgan glared at him, not liking that last part one bit.

"Gentlemen...congratulations. You've finally done it. You've finally managed to prove to yourselves and to prove to all these fools that you're on the same page. But unfortunately for you, justice, never, lies. And we, know the truth." Seth pointed out.

"The truth is...you're not a team. The three of you on the same page? Come on. These people and Morgan want to believe in you, but your team is phony. And at WrestleMania, Morgan and the whole world will believe in The Shield." Roman added as The Shield have their fists out.

Morgan grabbed a mic and started to laugh while everyone looked at her. "You know Dean...I personally want you to get pinned. So when you lose, I will laugh, and laugh, and laugh...and then I won't have to deal with you wackjobs of justice anymore. So let me tell you something...We all are on the same page and at WrestleMania, it will end in an RKO, a knockout punch, and a kick in the head. And when this is all over...I'm giving you all a backfire. Believe in that!" She dropped the mic as the crowd cheered.

"Morgan has spoken," Cole said

'Smackdown'

Alicia Fox had just won her match against Layla and kept taunting the crowd.

"Hey! Look! It's Morgan!" Cole exclaimed as she walked out with a cake that said Alicia on it.

Alicia glanced at the cake and ran out the ring while Morgan placed the cake in the ring.

"Alicia! Where ya going? I wanted to give you a little good luck cake." the Philly diva said on the mic

"Get that cake away from me!" Alicia exclaimed

"The cake is on the mat, I'm not going to do anything. I just want to talk." she reassured and Alicia reluctantly got back in the ring. "Alicia, I'm tired of your cheap shots and you wasting very very good cake. So I went to the store and brought you a nice cake. And don't worry, I brought myself one too but I already ate it. Sorry guys, Morgan has a sweet tooth and plus, I won't feel like I wasted a good cake. But um...just like you said, it'll look better on your face. So..."

Suddenly she kicked her and hit the backfire on her as the crowd cheered again.

"Backfire out of nowhere!" Cole exclaimed as Morgan laughed.

She grabbed the cake and then threw it on her face and upper body as Alicia screamed. Alicia ended up running out the ring, trying to wipe the cake from her face.

"Oh, and one more thing. I am ready for WrestleMania. I've been training and had some time off from some diva's matches. So at WrestleMania...I won't pin you. I won't knock you out. I won't make you get counted out or even DQed. I will make you tap out." Morgan guaranteed and taunted the crowd as her theme came on.

"Morgan is ready for WrestleMania!" Cole announced.

"Will she keep that confidence?" JBL asked

'Next night'

The night before WrestleMania Axxess, Jon hung out with the guys at a bar before things got hectic for the next few days.

"Man, can you believe that we're gonna debut at Mania soon? It's so surreal." Colby downed a shot.

"You know it, man. And then we'll be working with Melanie just like old times. It's gonna be great." Joe smiled

"Yo Jon, you all right?" Colby nudged him.

"He's smitten. He's probably thinking about Melanie." Joe teased as he and Colby laughed

"Shut up..." Jon grumbled and downed a shot.

"When are you gonna just understand that you're in love with her?" Colby grinned.

"I'm not in love..." Jon murmured

Seeing Melanie again made him so happy. And when they were put in the storyline together to spend even more time together Jon's growing feelings for her since their CZW days intensified. But he was still too nervous to try to make the move and assumed she didn't even feel that way.

"Can you feel the love tonight?" Joe started to sing and earned a punch in the shoulder by Jon, feeling a little embarrassed.

"All right, all right. So what if I like her. We're friends. I don't wanna ruin that." Jon admitted.

"You never know, she may like you, too. So stop moping around and tell her how you feel." Colby patted him on the back.

Jon sighed loudly. "You're right..."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'WrestleMania Axxess'

Melanie wore a WrestleMania Jersey with jeans and sneakers and had her hair down with curls at the end.

"This is so cool!" she looked around in awe.

She heard the crowd cheer for The Shield and then Randy. When she arrived on the scene, the fans cheered loudly as she grinned and waved. She proceeded to the autograph booth and sat next to Randy. After the autographs, Melanie took a break.

"How do you like it here so far?" Randy asked with a smile.

He had been such a helpful mentor for her on the road. She was grateful to be working with big names and even Joe, Colby and Jon again. It was great. She will never take this for granted.

"Freaking awesome!" she answered but then began to rub her right hand to massage it. "But how long does it take before your hand feels better from cramps after writing too many autographs?"

Randy chuckled. "You'll get used to it."

Later on that day, Melanie proceeded to have her own meet and greet session with the fans.

"Mommy! It's Morgan!" A six year old girl cheered.

Melanie smiled at her and kneeled down at her to give her a hug and took a photo with her.

"You seem really down to earth and nicer than your character." A male interviewer said

"Aw, thank you." Melanie grinned.

"Is it hard being the feisty Morgan Lopez instead of being yourself?"

"At first it was because I had to get used to my character but now I can quickly jump into my character."

"Can you demonstrate it?" he inquired. Melanie shot him an icy glare and he took a step back in shock. "W­-whoa. Wow."

"Why do you keep staring at me? Back up." She said in a dark tone as the interviewer looked scared. Once she broke out in laughs, the interviewer sighed out of relief and relaxed.

"Wow, that was interesting. So, how does it feel to be here?"

"Awesome! To be able to be here as a WWE Diva is priceless. I'm enjoying every second of it."

'Another interview'

"Here we are with Morgan Lopez! How ready are you to manage Randy Orton, Sheamus and The Big Show at WrestleMania?" The interviewer asked

"So ready to see The Shield get taken down," Melanie said as Jon walked over to her.

"Oh really?" He spoke in character with an Ambrose smirk on his face.

"Really." Melanie used her Morgan voice to retort back to him.

"Are we about to see a fight?" The interviewer asked, looking interested.

"Maybe, I don't mind giving Ambrose a backfire right here, right now."

"Save it for the ring. Make all the threats you want, you will believe in The Shield." Jon said and walked away.

Melanie rolled her eyes, continuing her in ring persona. "I would rip their heads off if I was a part of their team!"

'Later'

Melanie is sitting at a table near The Shield as she sits next to Victoria (Alicia Fox). They take in character photos as she signed more autographs.

"We are here with Morgan Lopez and your favorite fox, Alicia. What are your plans for WrestleMania?" Another interviewer asked.

"My plan is to make this vixen right here tap out," Melanie said in character with a confident look on her face.

"And my plan is to take this little baby right here back to NXT since she doesn't belong here in the WWE." Victoria replied in character with a smirk.

Moments later, another interviewer comes by. "Hi Morgan, I hope you don't mind me asking you a few questions."

Melanie smiled. "Ask away."

"What are your plans for Alicia Fox and The Shield?"

"I'm going to take Alicia down and make her tap out with this submission I've been working on for a while. As for The Shield, I have my fingers crossed that Randy, Big Show, and Sheamus will get the job done."

"You think we'll ever see a Bat Girl vs The Joker match?"

"Hey, you never know."

"Cool. Thank you for your time. Good luck at WrestleMania."

"Thank you!" Melanie said as the interviewer left

"Having fun?" Victoria asked with a smile.

"I love the questions people ask me. And I totally love taking pictures with the fans. It's so fun!"

"What about the autographs?"

"My hand hurts..." she groaned and rubs her right hand while Victoria giggles.

The next day during WrestleMania week Melanie visited a hospital of kids with the superstars, divas and a few hall of famers. The cameras are on Melanie.

"So I heard there's a girl who really wants to meet me and has supported me ever since my CZW days and I'm about to brighten up her day. I can't wait to meet her." Melanie said and walked into a room to see a 14 year old girl sitting on her hospital bed with her mother by her side.

The girl's eyes widen. "Oh my god!" she exclaimed, putting her hands over her mouth.

"Hi!" Melanie waved and smiled sweetly.

The girl began to cry joyfully as Melanie hugged her. "I can't believe I actually get to meet you!"

"I can't believe I get to meet someone as special as you!" Melanie smiled brightly and turned to her mom, "Will it be okay to take her out for ice cream?"

"Yes, it will be okay." The teen's mother replied with a smile.

"Awesome, I get to hang with Morgan!" The teen cheered

Melanie spent the whole day with the girl and once their time was coming to an end, they headed back to her room

"Hey, can you dedicate your new submission to me during your match?" The teen asked kindly

Melanie smiled and nodded. "Of course, I will!"

"May I have another hug? You are just so awesome! I cannot believe I got to meet you!"

"Of course you can sweetie!" Melanie replied with a grin and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you so much for visiting my daughter. You have no idea how much this means to her," the girl's mother thanked Melanie, giving her a big hug.

'WrestleMania'

Morgan tweets twice 'My first Wrestlemania! #MorganMania! The Shield are going down tonight!'

'Rooting for the Joker to get pinned at Wrestlemania. #AmbroseIsGoingDown #LopezWillSucceed'

Sheamus's theme comes on and he walks out on stage, ready to go fight

"The following is a six man tag team match, scheduled for one fall! If The Shield wins this match, Morgan will be a part of The Shield. Introducing first, from Dublin, Ireland, Sheamus!" Lilian announced.

Morgan walked out with Orton as she stood and looked around the large crowd. Holy crap this was surreal. On stage at Wrestlemania. So many people. A dream come true. She couldn't wait to wrestle tonight but first was to handle this Shield business.

Once The Big Show walked out, they all walked to the ring.

"This match means a lot to Morgan. How hard is it for her to not hurt The Shield?" Cole asked. "If she touches any Shield member during the match she automatically is a part of The Shield. And we know how much she enjoys slapping the taste out of Ambrose,"

"Morgan is confident. She believes Randy and his team will beat The Shield." JBL replied.

"Later on tonight, Morgan goes up against Alicia Fox in her first WrestleMania match up. If Morgan loses, she has to go back to NXT. These two matches are really threatening her."

"Yeah, and the fact that she is still going strong after everything is incredible," King added.

"We have been waiting for The Shield to get there's tonight. Tonight might be it." Cole said, hopeful that tonight was the night.

'Sierra' 'Hotel' 'India' 'Echo' 'Lima' 'Delta' 'Shield'

The Shield walked out through the crowd. "Their opponents, at the combined weight of 707 pounds, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns, The Shield!" Lilian announced.

"Well if The Shield are coming through that crowd, it may take them a couple of hours to get in this ring." King said.

Morgan pushed hair behind her ear as she looked at The Shield with a frown. The three men jump over the barricade, heading to ringside to meet up together as they turn their attention to Orton and the rest of his team.

Ambrose however had his attention all on Morgan, staring at her hard once again. When she locked eyes with him, he smirked and blew a kiss towards her which sent shivers down her spine. Worry came across her face as she looked away from him.

"Oh no, that's not a confident look on the face of Morgan." King looked on as the camera caught the exchange.

"She having second thoughts?" Cole asked.

"She agreed to get herself into this mess. She brought it on herself. She better start giving her measurements to The Shield for the vest," JBL replied.

'Ding Ding Ding'

"Do you think there will be WrestleMania jitters for The Shield?" Cole asked.

"Why wouldn't they? I've been in this business for over 40 years and I still got goosebumps." King replied.

Sheamus and Roman start off the match as Morgan looks on intently. Sheamus tags in Randy and he starts stomping all over Roman's body. Roman gains control and tags in Seth who runs into a dropkick by Orton.

"Awesome!" Morgan said with a grin.

Orton gives him ten punches on the turnbuckle and tags in Sheamus again. The crowd cheers when Seth tags in Ambrose.

"As Morgan said, Ambrose is a wack job," King recalled.

Big Show tags himself in and gets in the ring with Ambrose. He rips his vest and undershirt off, slapping his chest hard as Sheamus and Randy look amused. Dean slaps Show's chest and starts trash talking to him and then Show shoves him back to the turnbuckle and slaps his chest five times.

"Like a cannon!" Cole yelled.

"Morgan is enjoying this," King said as the camera showed Morgan grinning.

Ambrose dropkicks Big Show's knee, rolling over to his team to tag in Rollins. As the match goes on, Ambrose takes off his vest and starts staring at Morgan again.

Feeling eyes on her, she turned her attention to see it was Ambrose and she shook her head, glaring at him.

"Stop staring at me!" she retorted

"If I knew any better you were staring at me," he teased, showing off his torso. "Don't worry, you can have some of this once you're a part of The Shield."

Crossing her arms, Morgan replied with irritation, "You wish..."

"I don't need to. It's gonna happen," he guaranteed. "You'll be mine soon enough, sweetheart."

"No, it won't happen!" she shouted

"Denial! I love it! You'll see!"

"Shut up!"

Moments later, she starts banging on the mat as The Shield take control of The Big Show.

"Come on Show!" Morgan cheered.

"Shut up!" Rollins yelled.

"Excuse me!?" she yelled back and stood on the apron but the ref told her to get off. "Asshole!"

"Uh oh." Cole looked on

"Morgan, Morgan," Randy called out in a calm tone and she got off the apron.

"You wanna hit me?" Seth smirked, leaning on the ropes.

"Asshole!" Morgan yelled back and crossed her arms.

When Reigns has Show in a headlock, he escapes it. Reigns tags in Seth, who quickly hits Randy off the apron.

"Real cute." Morgan glared at Rollins who gave her a smug look.

Meanwhile, Show tags in Sheamus and he gains control. He hits Seth's chest ten times on the apron as he puts his shirt up. Ambrose ends up tagging himself in but then gets caught by Sheamus.

"I don't think Ambrose can stand any more of this." King chuckled as Sheamus hit his chest ten times and hit him with a rolling siton.

When Sheamus goes on the top rope, Roman pushes him off and he falls to ringside.

Having enough, Morgan strolled right toward Roman. "Are you kidding me?!" She exclaimed angrily.

Roman smirked and awaited her to strike. "Go ahead, take a hit."

"Morgan can't hit them or she'll automatically be a part of The Shield." Cole reminded as she loudly sighed in frustration and reluctantly backed off.

Randy comes and helps Sheamus as Ambrose and Reigns are ganging up on him. All of a sudden, Seth comes flying through the apron, onto Randy as Morgan has her hand on her mouth.

"Morgan looks concerned now." King said.

"And the numbers game, comes into play." JBL added.

The Shield brought Sheamus back in the ring and was about to do the triple powerbomb.

"No!" Morgan yelled.

Making the save as the crowd cheers, Big Show spears Ambrose as everyone falls.

"Whoa!" King exclaimed as Morgan looked relieved.

"A spear from Big Show!" Cole called.

Sheamus tries to tag in Show but Randy tags himself in as Show looks on. Randy hits Ambrose with a powerslam and does his trademark DDT on the ropes. Ambrose lies on the mat and then he glances at Morgan.

"Aw, are you going to lose soon? I bet you are." She taunted him.

All of a sudden, Seth gets on the turnbuckle and jumps off, only to get hit by an RKO. The ref makes sure Seth is out the ring but as the ref is distracted, Roman spears Orton as Morgan's eyes widen

"Spear by Reigns!" Cole exclaimed as Morgan covered her mouth, watching Ambrose cover Orton.

"I think he has it." JBL said.

"1! 2!"

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" King exclaimed.

"3!" The ref counted as Morgan screamed "No!"

The crowd screams for The Shield, happy with the results. Dean bangs on the mat three times as he holds his stomach, still feeling the impact of Big Show's spear.

"Here are your winners! The Shield!" Lillian announced

"The Shield undefeated and unbeatable," Cole called as the ref raised up their hands.

Morgan looked in disbelief while Dean celebrated with his team. Shaking her head, she starts to walk back, "This cannot be happening. This cannot be happening, right now. You have got to be kidding me..."

She ended up sliding into the ring to check on Orton while Seth and Roman got out the ring. Ambrose turned his undivided attention to the woman he's been pinning after for the past few months.

Finally. He got her.

"Uh oh. Morgan, get out of there." Cole warned.

Feeling his eyes on her again, she slowly looked up at him. Ambrose was panting from the workout he received during the match as his hair was all over the place. She watched as he walked up to her, having his hand out, waiting patiently for her to take it.

"Let's go Morgan," he said.

The crowd booed once she quickly got out the ring, not wanting to go. This had to be a bad dream.

"No way." She shook her head but bumped into Rollins. She ran around the ring but then Roman blocked her way. Getting back in the ring, she watched Roman and Seth regroup at ringside as she shouted, "Back off!"

Walking back, she bumped into Dean's chest. Before she could run away, his strong arms wrapped around her waist, as the crowd cheered.

"Time to go, Morgan." he effortlessly picked her up and placed her over his shoulder.

"No! No!" She screamed, trying to break free.

"Oh man! Morgan is now a part of The Shield!" King screamed in a high pitched voice. Ambrose carried her out the ring as she continued to try to break free of his hold while they left through the crowd. "They are kidnapping her!"

"Kidnapping? She agreed to this match! The Shield won, and now Morgan is a part of The Shield." JBL said. "This is not kidnapping! This is her fate! She brought it on herself! She agreed to the stipulation. Now she gotta deal with it. She should have known better,"

"Do you believe in The Shield now? If not, you should." Cole pointed out

'Backstage'

Dean carried Morgan backstage, as the camera followed them, heading straight to The Shield's hideout

"Get off of me!" she shouted

He released her and grabbed her from behind, hugging her.

"You see? All good things happen for a reason. I told you I'd pin Orton," he reminded, proud of the results. "I didn't do this for me. I did this for us. You and I. For you."

"You're freaking crazy!"

"Because I'm crazy for you. You will be mine, Morgan. I guarantee it. Not Sheamus, Orton or anyone else is going to take you away from me..."

She broke free of his hold but he grabbed her back and pinned her to the wall.

"Why are you obsessed with me?" She exclaimed. "Go be obsessed with somebody else! Another diva! Why me?" She tried to break free from his hold but he leans to her ear.

"Do you know how long I've waited for you to be in my arms? Now that I have you, I'm not going to let you get away this time. Never."

Finally shoving him back so she could have her space, she shook her head, having no choice but to deal with the fault that she was now a part of The Shield.

"I still hate you,"

"I love you too, sweetheart. I believe you have a match in order. We have a vest waiting for you,"

'Later on at WrestleMania'

The titantron shows Chyna in the crowd. "Would you look at that? We got Chyna!" King exclaimed

"The Ninth Wonder of the world is here to support her cousin, Morgan Lopez and so is the rest of her family," Cole called

"The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, Alicia Fox!" Lillian announced as Alicia strutted to the ring with confidence.

"Alicia Fox looks ready to go. She vowed that tonight would be the night she would shatter Morgan's dreams of being on the main roster. Let's see if she'll accomplish that." Cole said and suddenly The Shield came out through the crowd to stand at ringside. "What is The Shield doing out here again?"

"Well, Morgan is the new member." King reminded as Alicia got nervous and the ref told the three men to back away as they stood at the end of the ramp to wait for their new and first female member of The Shield.

'I've had enough I'm taking you down'

Morgan's theme popped on and the crowd screamed for her as she walked out with the bazooka firework gun just like Chyna to pay homage. She wore her new and improved Shield attire with a black top, vest, and pants. But nonetheless, she was still everyone's Morgan as she looked at the crowd with a bright smile and began shooting the fireworks out of the gun as the crowd went wild. She placed it down and spun around three times before walking down the ramp, soaking it all in.

"Morgan paying tribute to her cousin who is watching proudly! Here we go! Morgan's first Wrestlemania match!" Cole announced.

"I love it when she twirls!" King exclaimed

"Morgan is ready to go for this match. She vows to make Alicia tap. And also, she will dedicate her new submission to a 14 year old girl who she met at the hospital this past week. This will be an interesting match up." Cole looked on.

Morgan motioned her to her attire, showing it off and shrugged.

"Oh well..." She said.

Her butterflies started to go away as she saw a lot of fan signs about her and she pointed to them. As she got down the ramp, she pushed Seth and Dean

"Out my way," she called out, amusing the crowd. She then started to run around ringside to continue tagging hands and then went straight to her parents and Chyna to hug them

Getting inside the ring, she stands on the turnbuckle to taunt the crowd. But then began to unzip her vest.

"What is she doing?" Cole asked.

"Being rebellious already," JBL called out as she took off her vest and threw it at Dean's face.

Ambrose held onto it, amused at her actions while Rollins and Reigns weren't impressed.

"You're gonna pay for that." Rollins retorted.

Morgan responded by sticking her tongue out at the three men and got down from the turnbuckle as her theme faded out.

She turns to The Shield. "I swear...if you three wackjobs interfere in this match..." She trailed off, pointing at them while Dean had his hands up in defense with Rollins.

"Just make sure you win," Roman called out

"Just make sure you don't get in my way," she responded and turned her attention to Alicia.

'Ding Ding Ding'

Alicia and Morgan proved that their match was definitely not a bathroom break as they wrestled for a while, hitting each other with everything they had, impressing the crowd.

"This is a side I have never seen from Alicia Fox. She does not want to lose this match." Cole said as Alicia kicked out of Morgan's pin after she hit her with a cross body. Alicia then proceeded to fight back and gain control. "The Shield, looking on. Earlier we saw The Shield win against Orton, Sheamus and Big show."

Alicia kicks Morgan in the stomach as she kneels and then she does her finisher on her.

"Oh! That's it!" King exclaimed as her scissors kick looked deadly.

Alicia pins her, only to get a 2 count.

"What!?" Alicia yelled at the referee. "That was supposed to be three!"

"It was two." The ref stated.

"Can't believe Morgan kicked out of that." JBL said.

Alicia picks Morgan up and throws her to the turnbuckle. She walks over and picks her up onto the top and then prepares for a suplex.

"Uh oh." Cole said as Morgan tried to fight back.

But then Alicia hits Morgan with the suplex as the crowd cheers and they are exhausted.

"Oh my gosh. Somebody pin someone!" King exclaimed as the ref started to count. "Oh man, I hope this doesn't turn into a double knock out."

"Come on Morgan..." Ambrose muttered to himself.

At the count of 6, Alicia slowly crawled over to her and pins her.

"It's over..." JBL declared.

"1!"

"2!" The ref began but Morgan screamed "No!" and kicked out as the crowd cheered.

"That was a reflex. No way she could have kicked out of that." JBL exclaimed as The Shield looked impressed.

"This is what I love about Morgan. Her resiliency." King praised

Alicia sighs loudly and moves over to recover. She gets up and starts stomping on Morgan.

"Why won't you just quit already!?" Alicia yelled. The ref starts to count and Alicia stops at 4.

"Alicia is getting angry. Not a good sign." King looked on.

"You want to make me tap, Morgan? Huh!?" Alicia yelled before taunting the crowd to show off, getting boos.

Morgan starts to fight back and gains momentum. She kicks Alicia and runs to the ropes to do a hurricanrana but Alicia counters with a hard powerbomb while Morgan holds her head in pain.

"Powerbomb out of nowhere! Alicia's speed is incredible!" King exclaimed.

"Gosh. Morgan is hurt, she's hurt." Cole looked on with worry.

"I think she may have a concussion."

"Yeah, that may be it," JBL added.

'Morgan! Morgan! Morgan!' The crowd cheered.

Alicia throws Morgan out the ring and taunts the crowd again. The ref starts to count and Morgan gets back in the ring at the count of 8. Fighting back, she runs and clotheslines Alicia

"Morgan is gaining momentum," JBL said as she clotheslined her again and again and then dropkicked her as the crowd cheered.

She waits for Alicia to get up and is about to kick her but Alicia ducks. Alicia tries to kick her in return but Morgan barely ducks the kick as she stumbles and the crowd says 'Whoa!'. They both recover and then kick each other at the same time in the head as they fall down.

"Double kick!" Cole exclaimed. The ref counts for a knockout but they recover.

Alicia was about to kick Morgan for her finisher again but Morgan grabs her foot as her eyes widen.

She shook her head. "You're done." She said and hit her with the backfire as the crowd cheered

"She got it!" JBL yelled

"Cover her!" King yelled

"I don't think so. She said she wanted to make her tap." Cole said

Morgan sits on her back as she is lying face down on the mat. She points to the screen and smiles, knowing the girl she met at the hospital is watching with a huge smile on her face, and is thankful that she hasn't forgotten about her. She grabs hold of Alicia's wrists and crosses her arms under her chin and pulls back on her arms to cause pressure, like a straight jacket as she does a long and loud battle cry.

"What kind of submission is this?!" King exclaimed.

"Do you see the intensity on the face of Morgan?" Cole asked as the crowd cheered her on.

"Do you submit!?" The ref asked.

"Yes!" Alicia choked out and the ref signaled to ring the bell.

Morgan sighs and lets go of her, lying down on the mat, breathing heavily. The Shield looked on, nodding in approval, impressed with her performance.

Turning her head with hair covering her face, Melanie murmured to Victoria, "Thank you SO much," as Victoria thanked her for a fun match.

"Awesome match!" King said as the crowd went wild.

Moments later, Morgan got up and yelled "Let's go!"

She started jumping up and down, taunting the crowd. She then ran out of the ring to go hug her family.

"I'm so proud of you!" Jane, her mother, said with a huge grin and was in tears.

Her father, Diego, gives her a kiss on the head and Chyna gives her a kiss on the cheek and hugs her. The Shield look at each other and nod and then leave while Morgan goes to tag some more hands

"Let's go!" She cheered, walking up the ramp.

"Good job Morgan. Can't wait to see what will happen with her and The Shield soon." Cole said.

Morgan tweets 'Feels good to win! No more drama with Alicia! I can #Rejoice!'

Seth tweets, 'Don't get too excited. You're still a part of the shield. Did you forget that?'
