Author's Note: OK! Last one for today! Trying to post more wrestling chapters hehe.

'Smackdown'

Morgan tweets 'A lot of rumors going around in the WWE Universe. I'm going to kick you in the face. You know who you are...'

'Later On'

Morgan was backstage with Roman while he taped her wrists for her as the crowd gave them a nice reception. 

"Trying something new instead of the gloves?" he asked.

"Maybe just for tonight. The black tape looks interesting with this outfit," she replied.

After he was done, he intertwined his fingers with hers. "Good luck out there." 

"Thanks." she smiled and walked away while he watched her with a lingering gaze.

'In The Ring'

Rosa and Alicia Fox were already in the ring with Kaitlyn and Morgan. Kaitlyn managed to apologize to Morgan and the two ended up on good terms again and decided to team up tonight in a tag match.

Morgan watches Kaitlyn start off the match as she quickly dominates Alicia but then Alicia starts to fight back once she pulls Kaitlyn down and onto the middle rope to choke her neck. When Rosa and Alicia began ganging up on her, Morgan tried clapping to hype up the crowd which worked. 

When Kaitlyn was about to make a tag, Rosa grabbed Morgan by the leg and brought her down at ringside. She does a loud yell and throws Morgan to the barricade. 

"This bitch..." Morgan held the back of her head while Rosa began to taunt her.

"Cheap shot by Rosa! This is not good." Cole looked on.

"And she's dancing again," JBL said. 

Meanwhile, in the ring, Alicia hits Kaitlyn with a somersault leg drop and pins her for a 2 count. 

"Kaitlyn is still trying to hang on." JBL looked on while Rosa got back on the apron. 

Alicia and Rosa continue to dominate her while Morgan gets back on the apron.

"Come on Kaitlyn! Milhouse would want you to fight back! You got this!" Morgan shouted. That motivated her to hit Alicia with three shoulder tackles and a gutbuster. She pins her for a 2 count and runs to the ropes but Rosa kicks her back. "Really!? Really?"

Kaitlyn turns her attention to her and is about to hit her but Rosa jumps off the apron. She turns around to get hit with a kick in the face. Alicia begins to distract the ref while Rosa gets in the ring to start beating on her and choking her on the bottom rope. Morgan had enough and jumped off the apron. 

"Not today!" Morgan yelled as she ran towards Rosa, dropkicking her in the face while landing on the apron as Roman does as the crowd 'Ohs'

"That kick!" Cole shouted. 

The Philly Diva grabs her by the hair and throws her out of the ring and then into the barricade.

"Morgan! Go back to your corner, now!" The ref ordered. 

She decides to obey and that leads to Kaitlyn hitting Alicia with a backbreaker. She crawls over to Morgan and makes the tag as the crowd goes wild. Morgan hits Alicia with 5 clotheslines and tries to kick her but Alicia grabs her leg and pushes her back. Alicia runs to the ropes but gets caught in Morgan's arms as she spins her around and slams her hard on the mat.

"This may be over," Cole said as she pinned her but then Rosa broke it up. Kaitlyn rushes back into the ring and spears her. "Spear by Kaitlyn!" 

She gets back on the apron and Morgan tags her in. Morgan hits Alicia with a clothesline while Kaitlyn spears her at the same time.

"What a double team move that was!" Cole looked on

Once Kaitlyn started to pin her, Rosa was crawling on the ropes until Morgan kicked her in the face, making her fall off again.

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

"Nice finishing touch on that match," JBL said while Morgan jumped on Kaitlyn's back to celebrate with her.

"Here are your winners! Kaitlyn and Morgan!" Lilian announced after she got off her back

'Later'

For the main event, The Shield take on CM Punk and the Usos while Morgan watches at ringside. She was aware of the incident with them earlier and was going to make sure Punk got hurt. 

"That smirk on Morgan's face means trouble," Cole called out while she started to slowly walk around the ring, catching the attention of the Usos and Punk.

"Looks like she's trying to do some mind games," JBL said as Dean and CM Punk started off the match.

"Can you believe Morgan accepted Punk's challenge?" Cole asked as Punk began to take control of Dean and elbowed him down to the mat.

Punk throws Dean to his team and yells "Come on, I wanna know who the weak link is!"

"I actually can. She wants to prove herself. Now, I don't know if she'll win against CM Punk but I believe she'll show some great ring work." JBL replied as The Usos began to take control of Seth. 

Morgan stops walking around the ring and begins to watch the match on the side where her teammates are. She watches as The Shield begin to take control of Jimmy Uso.

"And this is where The Shield is dangerous." Cole looked on.

"Come on Uso. Come on." Seth taunted and hit Jimmy with a leg drop. 

The crowd begins to chant 'Uso' and that motivates Jimmy to try to make a tag but Ambrose catches him in an arm submission and begins to take control.

"I like it!" Morgan cheered when Dean hit Jimmy with a hard clothesline. 

Morgan and Punk begin to give each other eye contact and start taunting each other. He gets off the apron and sees her smirking at him which prompts him to begin walking over to where she was.

"What are you going to do? Hit me? Hit me with your best shot." She asked as the crowd started to get hyped.

He was about to make his way towards her but Roman jumped off the apron and got in front of her as the crowd cheered. 

"Oh~" JBL exclaimed.

"Not happenin'." Roman shook his head.

"Things just got a little interesting between these three." JBL looked on in delight.

"Roman Reigns getting in the way of this situation," Cole said.

"I'm sorry, were you going to do something?" She asked with a smug look but then the ref ordered them to back off.

Later on in the match, Jimmy tags in Punk and he begins to hit Seth with his signature moves and strikes Dean with a big boot off the apron. 

"Vintage Punk with a running knee and follows it up with a clothesline," Cole looked on. Punk gets on the top rope but Morgan gets on the apron to distract him and Seth takes advantage. "The distraction by Morgan."

The Philly Diva grins in satisfaction and jumps off the apron, high fiving Ambrose. Seth hits Punk with a crossbody but then Punk rolls them over for the Anaconda Vice as the crowd gets hype. Dean breaks it up but gets kicked and punched by one of the Usos. Roman gets in the ring and drops the Uso with a Superman punch and wipes his hands. 

Punk was leaning on the bottom rope, face first, near Morgan while Dean started to distract to ref since he was tagged in. She stalks over to Punk and smirks. She quickly lifts her right leg straight up as her boot hits his face, causing the crowd to 'Oh!' at the sound of the impact. 

"Good Lord!" JBL yelled.

Morgan started laughing at the pain he was in and showed a wicked grin on her face.

"Son of a..." Punk muttered as he held his head.

Ambrose looks on in delight and blows her a kiss. 

"She's lost her mind." Cole declared. "She's possessed by Ambrose. I'm convinced now. Did you hear that laugh?"

Punk gets dragged to the middle of the ring by Dean and gets pinned for a 2 count. Ambrose begins to take his frustration out on him and starts unloading on him near the turnbuckle. He hits him with a butterfly suplex and pins him for another 2 count.

"So close." Morgan looked on. 

Roman has his hand out for a tag but Dean ignores him.

"Tag out!" Roman shouted. 

Dean grabs Punk and gets kicked by him. Punk puts him in the GTS position but Roman runs in the ring and bumps into Dean. He pushes him out of the way but gets kicked by Punk and is taken out of the ring by the Usos. Rollins gets taken out of the ring as well.

"We're about to have ourselves some flyin' Usos!" JBL exclaimed as the Usos jumped on top of Rollins and Reigns. 

Punk hits the GTS on Dean for the win.

"Here are your winners! The Usos and CM Punk!" Lilian announced.

Punk looked at Morgan and pointed to her. "This isn't over," he said while she gave him an irritated look and retreated with her team.

She could see Roman looking annoyed since Dean didn't make the tag. 

"We were this close." Roman vented to Seth and her once Dean left the arena. "I wanted him to tag out and he wouldn't tag me in."

'WWE Exclusive Video'

At The Shield's hideout, Roman started pacing around, still annoyed with Dean and his actions. Morgan appeared on the scene, looking worried.

"How many times are you going to pace around? I'm sure he didn't mean to lose the match-" she began.

"Just stop defending him!" Roman shouted and stopped pacing around.

She let out a breath, taken aback by his sudden shout. 'Wow...' she mouthed and looked down, feeling some type of way.

He realized what he had just done and started to feel guilty. "Morgan...I..." he ran a hand through his hair and sighed as he approached her. "I'm-I'm sorry,"

She looked up as a small, sad smile came across her lips. "No harm done,"

"No. You're trying to help me and I'm lashing out at you. You're the last person I should be taking my anger out on. Nor the last person I want to be yelling at. You don't deserve that."

"Roman, it's fine. No harm done, really." She shrugged it off. 

She could see the frustration in his body language and eyes. She couldn't blame him for being so upset. 

"Raw will be a better time to work things out. For now, let's just sleep it off," she added.

"Yeah..."

'Another WWE Exclusive Video'

Morgan was in her street clothes backstage putting her hair in a ponytail but then saw Luke Harper leaning on the door, watching her. She gasped and turned around to see no one there. 

"Maybe I'm just seeing things." She turned back around but looked in the mirror and it read 'We haven't forgotten about you Rose with Thorns. You're almost ready for us.'

Kaitlyn walked in and she turned around. 

"D-­did you see that!?" Morgan pointed to the mirror but nothing was there as she was confused and touched the mirror. "No, there was something in the mirror. I saw him, at the door."

"Who?" Kaitlyn raised a brow

"I saw Luke at the door."

"Are you drunk?" She let out a chuckle.

"Kaitlyn, I'm serious." the Philly Diva ran her fingers through her hair. "I'm not joking. No games."

"Maybe you should sleep it off. The Shield did suffer a tough loss. Come on." She replied as they walked out of the locker room

'Next week, Old School Raw'

Hours before the show, Melanie was already ready for the night. She decided to look like Chyna by doing one of her hairstyles and wore shredded black pants and a black corset. She was sitting in catering with Celeste, popping grapes in her mouth.

"Melanie. Melanie, calm down!" Celeste giggled.

"He's here," Melanie exclaimed and continued to pop grapes in her mouth.

"I know."

"You don't understand. He's here! I'm going to meet Hot Rod!" she squealed and continued eating the grapes. "This is so cool. I get to meet my favorite legend of all time!"

"Is she in panic mode?" Jon asked as he sat next to her and Celeste nodded. "Okay, enough grapes for one night." he tried to take the grapes from her but she snatched it and put him in a headlock. "Ah! Mel, knock it off."

"Hands off my grapes!" she shouted as Celeste started laughing.

Later on, The Shield all get ready to meet up with Stephanie for information on the segment. While Melanie was walking near the backstage interview area, she held Jon's hand and held it tightly.

"Melanie, you're going to do fine." He let out a laugh. But then she squeezed his hand harder with nervousness. He stopped walking and made her stop too. "Mel, you're going to do fine." He kissed her cheek.

"Okay." Melanie smiled. 

After they get the information on the segment, Melanie hangs around backstage to kill some time before the show. After greeting some legends, she began stretching near the gorilla.

"Well, well, if it isn't Chyna's cousin. Melanie Laurer." A voice called out. 

Melanie's heart dropped and began to have butterflies in her stomach. 

Could it be...?

She turned around and looked at Roddy Piper, who was grinning at her.

"P­-Piper? Oh my gosh..." Melanie laughed but started crying. She went to embrace him as he let out a soft laugh. "Oh my gosh...I can't believe I'm hugging you."

"I finally get to meet one of my biggest fans," he said as they released each other.

"Sorry." She chuckled and wiped her tears. "Fangirling, haha."

"There you two are. I see that you've met." Stephanie walked over to them and smiled

"This is so cool!" Melanie hugged him again. "Your promos are so awesome. It's an honor to be able to work with you." 

Once he thanked her again and gave her a kiss on the forehead, squealed, excited to be in his presence. The two walked around backstage as he gave her advice on wrestling and discussed life. They even took photos together that she planned to post after the show. She was on cloud nine.

'In The Ring'

Piper was in the ring, while the ring was set up for Piper's Pit. 

"It's Raw Old School. And Hot Rod was old school before old school was cool. Now, I have fought some guys." Piper grinned but got interrupted.

'Sierra'

'Hotel'

'India'

'Echo'

'Lima'

'Delta'

'Shield.'

"Well for once The Shield is actually invited," Cole said as Roman, Dean, and Seth walked down the steps. Dean was wearing his belt around his waist and a Shield hoodie. "They are the scheduled guests for Roddy Piper in Piper's Pit. John, The Shield owned 2013 but recently in my estimation and others as well, some cracks have been forming within the team."

"You see cracks because you wanna see cracks. Where is Morgan?" JBL asked.

"I guess we'll find out," Cole said as The Shield got in the ring and Dean grabbed a mic.

"At least there is one person in The Shield that is respectful." Piper chuckled, thinking about their fourth member. 

Moments later, Morgan's theme comes on and she walks out as the crowd cheers loudly. She put her hands on her hips and with a confident expression, looking like her cousin.

"There she is! And she's paying tribute to her cousin Chyna. How awesome." JBL said as she tagged some hands and grinned. 

She walks up the steps while Ambrose sits on the middle rope so she can get in. She rewards him with a kiss on the cheek and sits next to Roman on the stool who sits next to Seth.

"Sorry, I couldn't interrupt him like that." She said to The Shield and smiled at Piper.

"Someone looks starstruck." JBL looked on.

"I've been informed that Piper is Morgan's favorite Legend. So what will happen if The Shield gang up on him?" Cole asked.

Dean and Piper faced off and Dean looked at the crowd. "Who gave this old man a live microphone?" he pointed at Piper and turned to him. "We're on live television. We were gonna stand around and wait while you ramble on and on if you're gonna say anything...you should be thanking God, that The Shield wasn't around when you were in your prime because if we were, you may not have made it to 112 years old." He grinned while Piper laughed.

Melanie had to keep herself in character because she was just so starstruck. She was in the ring with Piper. The Roddy Piper. It was an experience she will never forget. She got back in character as she was sitting, minding her business since Morgan decided not to get herself into any more trouble.

"First of all, nobody gave me a mic, I took it and this is Piper's Pit, not Ambrose Alley." Piper retorted.

Morgan smiled in amusement. 

"Now, if you're finished with the foolishness..." He looked at Seth who was looking at him. "You think I'm cute?" He laughed and snorted while Seth chuckled and nodded.

"I admit, I've been beat up." Piper continued. "I have fought some guys. Oh my goodness...things don't work quite like they used to except for my mind is fine. And there is only one guy that can match me on the microphone and his name is CM Punk." he declared in Dean's face. 

Dean responded by giving him a dirty look as the crowd cheered. Roman and Morgan glanced at each other and Dean started to rub his shoulder while the crowd chanted 'CM Punk' 

"Punk!" Piper taunted. "Punk! Punk!"

Morgan could see Ambrose seething and was debating if she should calm him down or if he would calm himself down. 

"I think you of all people would know to tread lightly in a situation like you're in Piper." Dean began but Seth stood up and held him back.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" Seth backed him away from Piper. He chuckled and turned his attention to him. "Hot Rod. Can I call ya Hot Rod?"

"Sure," Piper said.

"Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do here but my friend, it's not 1985 anymore. The Shield is too smart for your little tactics, all right? There are no cracks in The Shield you know what I think it is? I think it's jealousy, all right? Piper is jealous because you." Seth looked at Dean. "Are a better US champion than he ever was." he laughed in Piper's face as the crowd booed him.

Morgan didn't like the disrespect they were showing to Piper but decided to bite her tongue. 

"Oh yeah, that's definitely it, that's definitely it," Dean said.

"Well let's just hang on a second. You may be right, I know something for sure. You." Piper pointed at Seth. "One on one, can't beat Punk. You." he pointed to Dean. "One on one, you couldn't beat Punk either."

"I can beat CM Punk." Dean declared. "I can beat CM Punk, you don't know anything about me, I can beat CM Punk."

Piper laughed. "Is it botherin' ya?"

Roman and Morgan glanced at each other again before Roman looked back at Piper and Morgan looked at her boots. 

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here. Hello beautiful." Piper grinned as he looked at her.

The crowd cheered and the Outspoken Diva looked up at him as The Shield turned their attention to her. 

"Excuse me?" she asked and started to blush. 

Piper grabbed her hand and made her stand up. "Look at you. Lookin' like your cousin. Man, you got yourself a flower here, Ambrose."

"I know I do and I'm proud of it." Ambrose grabbed her to him and put an arm around her.

"I see that. Now, Morgan, I haven't seen you go full out in wrestling yet. If you asked me, I think The Shield is holding you back. I saw you wrestle CM Punk at TLC. And this fool right here." Piper pointed to Ambrose. "Prevented you from wrestling Punk even more."

Ambrose started to get annoyed again. 

"I see the potential in you." Piper continued as Morgan looked at him in amazement. "But, a woman so...womanly as yourself surprised me when you wanted to wrestle the WWE Superstars. A hard shot in the ribs, I thought your career was over. You can take some hits."

"Well her career isn't over." Dean retorted and removed his arm from her.

"Was anyone talkin' to you pretty boy? This is between me and this woman right here. Stay out of our conversation." Piper snapped as the crowd cheered. 

Seth held Dean back while Morgan stiffed a laugh.

"Speaking of you boys, do you know how embarrassing it would be for you guys if this outspoken beauty..." Piper grabbed her hand and kissed it, making her blush and smile even more. "...Beats CM Punk? Will that make Morgan better than her teammates? Can she outsmart CM Punk? Will that be a crack in The Shield?"

"Don't listen to him," Dean said, glaring at Piper. "Baby, don't listen to him, he's getting in your head."

"He's doing mind games," Seth added. "Don't listen to his crap."

Morgan grabbed a mic and chuckled. "...You're making it hard not to fangirl. I'm like, a huge fan. It's an honor hearing you compliment me."

"Morgan, snap out of the starstruck phase," Dean exclaimed but she ignored him.

"You are so cool! I grew up watching your matches. And it's a real honor to be in the same ring as you." She went on.

"Well, at least there is somebody in The Shield who is a sweetheart and respects me." Piper grinned.

"He called me a sweetheart." Morgan giggled at The Shield as she started squealing, making the crowd laugh at her wholesome reaction.

Roman watched her, amused, as a small smile came across his face.

'Cute...' he thought as he watched her.

Meanwhile, Ambrose facepalmed while Rollins continued to try to calm him down.

"Ha ha, she even got a cute little giggle." Piper snorted as he laughed. 

'That she does...' Roman thought but then his thoughts were interrupted when Piper suddenly pinched his cheek, making him glare at him.

"Now...you. You're fighting Punk tonight. Now let me just ask, if you beat Punk tonight, doesn't that you better than them?" Piper asked as he pointed at Seth and Dean. "Would that be like a crack in The Shield? If you and The Outspoken Beauty beat CM Punk, wouldn't that make you two better than these guys? Will that make you a more powerful team? A power couple?"

"It's not gonna work Piper," Seth said and turned to Morgan and Roman. "Don't listen to a word he says."

Roman and Morgan glanced at each other before looking back at Piper.

"Are they holdin' ya back?" Piper asked Roman.

"Listen, man..." Dean started to talk in Roman's ear.

"Crack in The Shield? Huh?" Piper provoked.

"There aren't no cracks in The Shield, Piper," Seth said firmly.

Roman grabbed the mic and stood up. He began walking towards Piper who took a few steps back. 

"I'm gonna beat CM Punk tonight. And if you ever touch me again, I'm gonna break your old ass in half." Roman threatened.

Morgan looked at Roman in shock. "Seriously?" She retorted.

"Hey uh, Roman, uh, let's leave a uh, memorable impression on Mister Piper." Dean said as the guys started to gang up on him.

"Mister Piper~" Seth taunted.

Morgan cleared her throat but they ignored her. She cleared her throat louder on the mic and they all turned to her. "No, no no no, no, no no, no." She interrupted as the crowd cheered. "I'll say this right now...nobody is going to lay a hand on my favorite legend."

"Especially you, Roman. If you're going to break him in half...you're gonna have to break me in half first." she went on. "Would you do that to me?"

"Crack," Cole called out.

"Shut up, Cole." JBL retorted.

"Are you being serious right now?" Dean walked up to her. "He needs to be taught a lesson."

"No, he doesn't," she replied, holding her ground.

"Yes, he does."

"No."

"Sorry Morgan, but if you don't want to be a part of this, then you can just stay there." Dean turned around as the crowd booed. 

Morgan started to look conflicted. She didn't want Piper to get hurt and she wanted to be on good terms with her teammates. After a few seconds of thinking, she decided to distract Dean by turning him around and wrapping her arms around him to kiss him.

"Whoa!" JBL exclaimed as Seth and Roman stopped and turned their attention to them.

Dean was surprised at her throwing herself at him but began to kiss back. Morgan stopped the kiss, leaving him in a daze as she fixed her hair and clothes, clearing her throat. 

Piper knew exactly what she was trying to do and mentally thanked her.

She grabbed another mic. "Sorry, I had to get that out of my system. Anyway, let's not gang up on Piper."

Dean snapped out of his daze and started to look at her with lust.

"And...we're about to lose him," Roman stated as Dean began to march over to her.

"And let's whoa­-" She got turned back around as she dropped the mic and is smooched by Ambrose as the crowd started freaking out.

"Looks like he couldn't resist her charm," Cole looked on as Morgan got backed up to turnbuckle while he grabbed her waist

"And this is why they are my favorite heel couple. Do you see the passion in their kisses? Wonderful." JBL showed his support as he watched her run her hands through Dean's hair.

Piper looked amused and started to think of a plan to escape The Shield.

"Dean keep it PG!" Seth tried to snap him out of it. "Dean! Dean!"

Roman facepalmed and shook his head. Moments later, Morgan managed to break away from him while Seth held Dean back

"Easy tiger," Seth said.

The Philly Diva caught her breath and put a hand over her chest, chuckling. 

While The Shield were all distracted, thanks to Morgan, CM Punk runs down the ring with The New Age Outlaws. Morgan slides out of the ring while The Shield take on Punk and his team. But in the end, The Shield get thrown out of the ring while the crowd cheers. 

Locking eyes with Piper, Morgan watched as he nodded in appreciation because she attempted to make sure he wasn't harmed by The Shield.

"You old piece of trash!" Seth yelled while The Shield was over the barricade.

"Hey! Calm down. We got this." She reassured. "We got this."

'Later'

CM Punk was in the ring while the New Age Outlaws were at ringside to support him. Roman was also in the ring while The Shield was at ringside too. 

"Break him in half," Dean said.

"It's go time tonight baby! Take him out! Take him out! He don't stand a chance." Seth added.

"I believe in you, Roman. You got this." Morgan cheered as the bell rang. 

She watches as Punk manages to keep a hold of Roman in a headlock.

"Come on big man. Do what you gotta do." Seth said and Roman managed to take Punk down. "That's what I'm talkin' about! You don't stand a chance Punk!" 

Moments later, Roman throws Punk over the turnbuckle and onto the floor, hurting his ribs. Dean, who had an arm around Morgan, walks near Punk with Seth but then the New Age Outlaws come to his aid as they begin trash talking each other. Roman took a breather in the ring, while the ref began to count. 

Punk manages to get back in the ring and Roman begins to take control of his ribs. Morgan liked the sound of Punk yelling out in pain as she began to smirk in delight. The New Age Outlaws began to try to support Punk but Seth and Dean started mouthing off. 

"You shut up! You shut up old, man! Shut up!" Seth shouted. 

Punk hits Roman with a crossbody off the ropes and runs to give him a running knee but gets caught in a bear hug. 

"Come on, just squeeze the life out of him." Rollins looked on. "Don't let him go."

Punk escapes the bear hug and hits him with elbows but gets taken down by a Samoan drop. Roman pins him for a 2 count and walks to a corner. He punches the mat and waits for Punk to get up, preparing for the Superman punch. When he tries to go for it, Punk moves out of the way and kicks him in the back of the head. Roman looks dazed while The New Age Outlaws and The Shield continue to mouth off.

"Come on Roman." Morgan bangs on the mat, ignoring the boys yelling at each other.

Punk begins to hit Roman with his signature moves and pins him for a 1 count. 

"Just one! Not today!" She grinned and put her right index finger out in front of Punk with Dean

Punk looks at Roman in surprise that he got up so quickly from his signature moves.

"Oh~ you better believe that." Seth taunted. "That's one." He high fived Morgan and Dean.

Punk hits Roman with two running knees and pins him for a 2 count. He gets on the top rope while Seth tries to control Dean and his hot head. Roman tries to throw Punk off but gets elbowed off the rope and is hit with a diving elbow. 

Seth and Dean started to panic while Morgan kept a cool head. "Guys, he's going to be fine."

Seth nodded and began to bang on the mat. "He's okay. He's okay. Come on Roman."

Punk does the GTS taunt but Dean gets on the apron and tries to distract him. Road Dogg pulls him down and tries to throw him to the steps until Dean reverses it and throws him in the steel steps instead. Billy clotheslines him but then Rollins throws him to the steel post. 

"You wanna stick your nose now?" Seth yelled but got hit by Punk's suicide dive as the crowd cheered.

Seth falls over the table where the commentators are while Morgan keeps her distance. Punk gets on the apron and jumps over the ropes, only to be hit by a Superman punch.

"And he got caught!" Cole yelled as Roman pinned him for a near fall, making him look at him in surprise. "CM Punk kicked out! I thought he had him!"

Morgan was shocked too but Roman started to give Punk a stare and stood up as he backed up to a corner. 

He roars and runs to spear him but Punk jumps up, making him hit the middle turnbuckle. 

"No!" Morgan exclaimed as Punk grabbed him for a roll up. 

Roman kicks out and she looks relieved. She goes to help Dean up while Roman gets kicked by Punk and is pinned for another near fall as Punk couldn't believe it.

"Ambrose," Roman called out and was pulled into the GTS position until he elbowed Punk to escape it. 

He stumbles to a corner and is hit with Punk's running knee. He grabs him for a bulldog but Roman throws him to Dean and Punk hits him off the apron. But when Punk turns around, he gets speared.

"Spear! Spear by Reigns!" Cole exclaimed.

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

"Yes!" Morgan shouted and got in the ring with the guys to celebrate his victory.

"By beating Punk tonight, is Roman the best of The Shield?" Cole asked. 

"We'll have to find out because Morgan is going to be put through the test." JBL reminded but all of a sudden, another theme surrounded the arena. "What the hell?"

The Shield look confused and turn their attention to the stage but then Jake 'The Snake' Roberts walks out with his sack. Morgan's eyes widen in shock and takes a step back. 

"You've gotta be kidding me! John, I-I think I've seen a ghost!" Cole exclaimed. "That's Jake 'The Snake' Roberts!"

Jake throws the sack into the ring while Morgan quickly slides out of the ring. 

"I want no part of that," she said, backing up

But then Punk and The New Age Outlaws begin to attack the male members of The Shield and they throw Seth and Roman out of the ring. Punk picks Dean up and begins to spin him around and hits him with the GTS. 

Morgan reluctantly watches as Jake takes out Damian and puts it on Dean's face. Jake picks up Damian and she decides to take the opportunity to try to drag Dean out of the ring but Jake tries to throw Damian near her as she stumbles off the apron in slight fear. 

Punk gets out of the ring and starts chasing her. 

"Come on, Punk! Leave her alone!" JBL shouted. 

She manages to retreat with Seth and Roman on the ramp while Punk gets back in the ring to celebrate with the New Age Outlaws and Jake.

If I was jennie...- I would go enjoy the rap lessons she gets from Suga Hyung

For 2015′s FESTA, the members decided to film a radio show for ARMY to celebrate their second year together.

Suga sat at the table in front of the camera, beginning the start of their video, and opening up the show.

"... for 2 years, we've been loved so much. And we are trying hard to pay you back with our efforts doing our best in music. I don't know if we killed it without dance moves...hmm...don't know! However, what we can be sure of is that there are more listeners to our music than before. How lovely that is? Now we are preparing for our second Muster, which will be a lot bigger than the first one with you all, ARMY. Now you are three times bigger than last year. Aren't you excited? This is BTS' second birthday with ARMY, who makes our every day beautiful and more beautiful. Here's the first song!"

So 4 more plays in the background as the members take their seats with their scripts in their hands. Jennie sat in between Jimin and Jungkook. There was a small camera on a stick floating around, and she took it from Jimin, to play around with it, waving and having Jin and Rapmon video bomb her.

"Hello! This is DJ Suga of BTS KKUL FM 06. 13." He announced as everyone applauded and did their trademark greeting. "So, Bangtan Boys self-produced surprise! R?" Suga looked confused as he tried to read the script. "What is this...?"

"You are the DJ! I think we need a new DJ!" J-Hope exclaimed.

"Suga, you had one job." Jen put him on blast as he tried to explain something wrong with the script

Suga got back to the script, continuing his statement, "The real live show! The visible radio show! KKUL FM is now here for you." He said to a series of applause.

"Eeeeeeeee wooooooooo~!" Hobi yelled loudly into the camera.

"Please...calm down," Rapmon spoke.

"I heard it is such a special day today! Please explain." Suga requested.

"Today! Is! Our! Second anniversary!" Rapmon happily announced.

"WOO!" Jennie applauded heartily with the members.

"AHHHH!" Hobi yelled, throwing up two peace signs at the camera.

Jimin suddenly brought out a cake and set it on the table. The members started to sing Happy Birthday but Jimin stopped them because he hadn't lit the candles yet. The members were disappointed, telling him that he should've already done that.

"I mean, I haven't been to this bakery for a while. I just found out that the candles are inside here. I never knew." Jimin tried to explain

"People! It's one notable tip, if you are buying the cake from Two Some Place, you can find the candles inside the knife!" Suga informed.

After Jimin lit the candles, the members clapped and sang, "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear BTS, happy birthday to us!"

As soon as they all blew out the candles, each member covered their nose because of someone's bad breath.

"Uh, someone's breath!" Hobi pinched his nose.

"Ew, whose breath stinks!?" Jennie grumbled.

"It just got into my nose," Rapmon complained.

"Guys, calm down. Happy birthday to you all. Do you remember we made our wishes at this time last year?" Suga asked but none of the members remembered. "I know you wouldn't remember anything, so I prepared. Actually, there are some wishes that came true from last year."

"I think this was the one. Maybe something about our concert?" Hobi asked

"Our first win?" Jennie spoke up. "Getting first place?"

"Yeah, I agree with Ennie. We got ranked number 1 at a major show." Jimin stated.

Looking down at the script, Suga read, "Um, so, why don't you raise your hands when I tell you the wishes from last year?" He looked up at the members. "Excuse me, did you read the script at all? Please read beforehand!"

The Maknae Line started laughing at Suga's scolding while Hobi protested, "You said you were not going to follow it. That's what you said!"

"But I can use it as a guideline. You said it was going to be real!" He yelled, mimicking Hobi as the maknae line continued to laugh. "Why would you need reality here?"

"We don't have it in our script!" Jin pointed out while Suga tried to show everyone that it was in the script.

After they bicker, Hobi went to read the script, "Of course! One of them was to have our own concert, from last October, starting from the concert in Seoul!"

"Oh my God, who wrote the script?" Suga exclaimed. "Ah, alright, we don't always need to follow the script but I need to follow the big picture. Let's do something like Raising one's hand."

After everyone raised their hand, Rapmon continued to follow the script by reading but got cut off by Suga. "No, I didn't mean that. Just look at the big picture. It's so obvious that you didn't read it at all!"

"You told me to follow the script!" Rapmon yelled, slamming his hand on the table, causing everyone to burst out in laughter.

"No, I mean be natural! It was nice but too tight. Now, let's clear things up. Hope, Rapmon and Jungkook got their wishes. Jimin, Jin, V and Jennie couldn't get it. Rapmon's wish was that he wanted to buy lots of clothes."

"Of course." Jen let out a chuckle. "Expect a lot of Kim Daily photos, ARMY. A LOT. Prepare. And you better give me photo creds!" She pointed to her leader.

"I will! I just forget!" Rapmon tried to explain.

"Uh huh. Sure."

"Jin wanted to buy a building." Suga pointed out that his wish hadn't been fulfilled yet. "Um...maybe in 60 years or more?"

"60 years look so far. Maybe in 30 years." Jin corrected him.

"I believe Jin can do it. Just take it one day at a time. I'm rooting for you to buy a building very soon." Jennie encouraged him. 

Jin smiled gratefully and thanked her.

"V's dream was to drive." Suga pointed out. "What was Jimin's?"

"I think mine was also driving. Driver's license!" Jimin answered.

"Jennie's wish was to have a BTS tour in America. But looks like it'll get fulfilled in July because we'll be having the Red Bullet tour in New York, Dallas, Chicago and LA."

"Cannot wait! I'm so excited for that." She beamed.

The members began to talk about their first win and how they weren't aware of anything, just surprised and awkward.

"So, what was it like? The first place?" Suga asked.

"We all looked very happy on the stage. I think I was really happy to see us excited about it." Jimin said.

"Yeah, my stomach dropped when I heard the announcement. I tried not to cry as I was trying to help Jimin with his tears of joy." She smiled at him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Surreal is how I would describe our first win. We worked so hard for this moment and dreamed of winning it, y'know?"

The members nodded in agreement. "On our way home, I felt a bit empty somehow. Thinking how hard we tried just praying for it. Jennie would always have us together to pray and we brought up praying for our first win." Suga said. "We just never thought we would win it. Like, would we really be able to get it?"

"Yeah, we just couldn't believe it. Especially because our leader was crying. " Jimin said.

"I didn't," Rapmon replied.

"I see." Jimin chuckled.

"Yeah, it was so dramatic! The percentage of the text voting was very high. It was all from our fans, ARMY."

"For ARMY, thank you!" Hobi shouted as they applauded.

Suga had requested everyone to switch their parts for I Need U since it didn't get aired. 

"I need U girl!" Suga sang loudly, out of tune, causing everyone to crack up in laughter. 

Jennie placed her head down on the table. "I cannot!" She laughed.

"I call Ennie's verse! I got this!" V happily announced as she sat up. "You probably won't care what I have to say, but I'm still waitin' for you on my birthday!" He started shouting her verse, as she continued to laugh. He started to reach out for her, dramatically continuing her verse, "...I ask myself why do I stay when you always play me for a fool. This situation sucks because I thought everything was cool. How could you be so cruel? You used to treat me like I was your jewel. Now I'm nothin' to you but a simple tool."

"This guy..." She shook her head.

"I wish we could break through this! All we've done was fall through the mess that you created. Is this how things will always be? I'm so frustrated, Aggravated, Devastated..." V grabbed her hand.

"What do you gain? To cause me so much pain? It's putting a strain on my broken heart. But I can't let go, Because you're my everything..."

After the chorus, Jungkook, effortlessly rapped Rapmon's verse, as the members get hyped. 

"I need U girl!" Rapmon sang in a high pitched voice while everyone cracked up and clapped their hands.

"Naegen geureol yonggigaeobseo. Naege majimak seonmureul jwo. Deoneun doragal su eobtdorok-AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHOWWWWWWWWW!" Suga screamed out as they all laughed again.

Jennie ended up having to fall out of her seat, and sitting on the floor because she kept laughing so hard. Tears were streaming from her face. After all, this situation was hilarious. After the song was done, she got back in her seat, wiping her tears.

"We made our wishes last year, why don't we do it again, this year?" Suga requested. "This year. The wishes for the year 2015."

"I have one. I want a bigger concert than we did before." Jimin wished.

"Another one?" Suga looked around as V and Jin raised their hands

"Let's go from the old people." V gestured

"Yeah, age matters," Jin said.

Jungkook stood up and started dancing to EXID's down and up, and Rapmon followed his movements. But Hobi started thrusting up and down while singing. "Old, young, old old, young."

"What in the world?!" Jen chuckled.

"What!? What's that for?" Rapmon laughed.

"So weird~!" Suga chuckled as Rapmon repeated Hobi's movements.

After they settle down, Jin told everyone his wish, "There's something I want to do. I would love to be on the eating shows this year so that I can eat a lot of delicious food in Korea."

"Let's dream big. How about winning the best singer?" Hobi requested. "Or how about best food?" He joked.

"You are too much, today." Suga pointed out and turned to the female member. "Jennie, what's your wish?" 

"Well...I'm going to dream big." She trailed off. "I want BTS to win a Daesang."

"That's really big." Rapmon looked at her in surprise.

"I know it sounds crazy, and we don't think we can do it but something in me says that as long as we continue to work hard, remain humble, and love what we do, we'll do it. I don't care if it's in a year or two or more, that's going to be my wish from now on. For BTS to win a Daesang."

"What about you, V?" Suga asked.

"I want to go to Han-river with you, riding bikes." He requested as everyone loved the idea.

"I want to learn various kinds of martial arts." Jungkook wished. "Wing Chun Gyeon!" He made a fighting stance for the camera

"Yeah...that's a nice one but I mean as a team," Suga mentioned.

"Ah for our team. Why don't we learn Wing Chun Gyeon?" He happily requested as everyone laughed.

"Let's see which one's easier? The best singer or Wing Chun Gyeon?"

"How about you, Suga?" Jin asked.

"I have one. I want to be the DJ for the radio show. And for us, we want to perform at the bigger place. Really, you have to dream big. Maybe at the Jamsil Stadium? I know it doesn't make sense." He laughed.

"That's too big." Hobi chuckled.

"I apologize."

"Can I change my wish?" Jungkook requested.

"Wing Chun Gyeon style performance?" The members assumed, causing Jungkook to laugh 

"I wish we all could make one song each for our new album this year." Jungkook wished

"So, you mean you want all of us to produce at least one song for each on one album?" Suga asked as Jungkook nodded.

"That's not a bad idea. I like it." Jennie nodded. "That would be really fun actually. Creating a solo song or something."

"I want to say something, sorry. Don't you want to know mine?" Rapmon asked after watching everyone speak.

"Oh, you didn't say yours?" Hobi asked

"You just asked everyone but me!" Rapmon laughed. "Does anybody care about me? I would love to buy more clothes and um...one more mixtape. Also, for our team, let's go on a trip together!"

"Book it! I wanna go on a trip! That would be so fun!" Jennie happily encouraged the idea, high fiving Rap Monster with Jimin.

"Jungkook and Jennie are still underage. They can get their ID cards." Suga pointed out.

"I have one already," Jennie informed.

"Me too, I got it but I just hate the picture. I really hate the picture." Jungkook replied 

"You know I don't like mine either." She turned to Jungkook. "I may want to get another one, and retake the picture, too."

"But that's the fun part of the ID cards! You can never get a good picture." Jin said.

"I never saw a person who's satisfied with their picture," Rapmon said.

"And kids," Jin looked at the two Maknaes. "When you get your driver's license, surely it'll be more terrible."

"Oh joy." Jen shook her head.

"Oh, and Jimin, he's now 21 and became manly. A bit more than before." Suga pointed out as the members started to make fun of how he had a habit of running his hand through his hair.

"There's a dancer he loves, Brian Puspos. And he's copying him." Jungkook said.

"In my opinion, I don't copy anyone. It's me, so, shall we talk about something else?" Jimin sassed, surprising the members.

"Wow!" Jennie laughed

"Yeah! What a man!" V cheered

"Oh, there's something else. We moved." Suga revealed that they moved to a new place and the members applauded. "Guys, how are you feeling about it?"

"Perfect! Perfectly amazing!" Rapmon enthused

"It's lit!" Jennie cheered.

"We now have roommates. Before, all of us shared one room. Jennie still has her own little room though." V pointed out as they discussed what they would like to do in the new dorm.

"We need to play Smash Bros, soon. Like all of us, so we can test our friendship." Jennie announced.

"Yes! Let's do that soon!" Jimin happily agreed.

"Okay then, maybe that can be a bit awkward so I will ask you several questions. Close your eyes and let this be anonymous. The statement is, I like my roommate but I sometimes envy other rooms." Suga looked at the guys closing their eyes but Jennie as she watched since she still had her own room.

"Wow!" Jennie commented as she watched Jungkook and V raise their hands.

Jungkook pointed out that rooming with Rapmon, there was always music in the room. 

"Because of that, we're suffering," V said.

"Yeah, I can hear the music from my room. Great music taste by the way." Jen complimented, earning a smile and thank you from the leader.

After the commercial break, laughter, and funny stories, the members go through everyone's boards about the members who wrote about each other. First up was V and Suga read some of the written words.

'A new sloth.'

"I think I know what it means. I didn't write it but he looks like a sloth." Jin said

"I wrote it," Hobi spoke up. "Recently, V became very slow. Especially when I try to wake him up. He never gets up."

'Ears.'

"Ears? What's that about?" Suga asked

"Look at him! His ears are too big!" Jungkook revealed V's ears as the members laughed. 

'Please eat with us.'

"For example, most of us are not picky about food. Of course, there's some food we can't eat. V, he can't eat beans. Actually, he's picky. So, it's really difficult for us to decide what to eat. Rap Monster's being very mature about it though. However, V is different, he has to go to the restaurant he wants to go to, unlike Rapmon who would just order something else or find another restaurant." Suga mentioned

'Thanks for being my first friend in Korea and for being your goofy self. You're adorable, I love your fashion sense and you always boost up my mood with your cheerfulness.'

"This is obviously Jennie." Suga pointed to her and the members instantly agreed.

"What!? I didn't think it would be that obvious!" She tried to explain.

"Aw, Ennie!" V stood up and hugged her from behind tightly, cheek to cheek.

"Yah, don't squeeze her to death." Suga scolded before V sat back down. He looked back at the board at the various comments.

'Genius, fool, talent, awkward, monkey.'

"I think he's more like a monkey than a sloth. A handsome monkey." Rapmon said.

"Yeah, every one of them suits him actually. Sometimes he's very smart, sometimes he is a fool, sometimes he is full of talent. But he can be awkward. Oh my God! Oh well. It's anonymous." Suga went on.

The next board is Jimin.

'Please put away your bags and the bandanas. They are everywhere. That sounds filthy. I thought you were very clean.'

"I think this is what we need to hear from his roommate." Hobi pointed out as V explained his reasoning. 

Jimin's bandanas are always in the bathroom and leaves them there after taking a shower.

"You know what? To each his own. Do you, Jimin." Jennie chuckled while the members questioned his choices.

'Slow and a dance teacher'

"Well, you know. He's always late and goes out of the room at the end. He's spending so much time cleaning. I think you guys can empathize with me." Jin spoke. "I believe you all think the same. For the people who can't dance like me, he's a great dance teacher. So, I wrote slow and a dance teacher."

Suga revealed Jin's board. Mostly there was the word pig on the board, causing everyone to laugh and joke around about it.

'Why do you eat so much? You look really happy when you are eating though.'

"Alright, next is J-Hope's," Suga revealed.

'The weird sleeping habit.'

"Did you write this?" Hobi asked with a laugh

"No!" V giggled. "It was yesterday at around 2 in the morning or maybe three? He was sleeping when I was out of the shower and he kept doing this." V started to touch his arms slowly, mimicking how Hobi sleeps

"PFFHAHAHAHA!" Jennie's loud laughter was heard.

"Look, it was very odd," Jimin spoke up. "V was sleeping too. I just got out of the shower and he was like..." He started slowly touching his chest while pretending to sleep.

"Oh no!" Jen commented.

As the members started describing it, V showed them the photo and then to the camera. 

"Since I was young, my mom petted me while I was sleeping," Hobi revealed. "I sleep really well when someone pets me."

"So, there's no one and you are just touching yourself?" Rapmon asked

"Um, I don't know. I don't know if it's my sleeping habit or not. I was sleeping! So, I have no idea."

'A decision by God?'

"I wrote it. I think J-Hope is like a decision by God to our group." Jimin said as the members joked that J-Hope being in the group was making things worse.

"Maybe we could've won the first place sooner if he wasn't in the group. Like 10 months earlier." Suga teased. "Oh well. I'm joking. I think J-Hope always makes the lively mood of our group."

'Too hyper these days'

"I second that! I didn't write that but I love his hyper ways, though. It's in a good way. His hype nature makes my day." Jennie responded.

"Let's see Miss Bangtan's." Suga revealed her board as the members checked out the various comments written about her.

'You're good but you can do better. There's always room for improvement'

"I wrote that about myself," Jennie revealed. "Just a little message to myself. I know I'm good at what I do. But I know that I can get even better as long I continue to practice and work hard to the best of my abilities. So, I hope I'm able to improve my singing and dancing skills, very soon."

"You will. You have improved a lot since debut." Rap Monster reassured

"Her harmony and blend of her voice with ours improved too. It sounds like one voice when she sings with one of us. Jennie actually helped out with the harmony whenever two or more members were singing together in our songs. She was so strict about that." Jimin giggled. 

"I don't like how that sounds, Jimin keep your voice where you're at, but Kookie I need you to take it down one pitch. Once you two do that, you'll hear your voices clash." Jimin quoted her.

"Ah, yeah. I was so irritated that day. I kept hearing them sing together and I'm like, I don't hear their voices clashing melodically like it should." She chuckled.

"She was so happy when we got it right," Jungkook commented.

'Hamtaro reminds me of you.'

"I wrote that!" V happily revealed. "Me loving anime, I came across that anime recently. Doesn't she resemble a hamster? It's so cute!" He giggled as the members agreed. 

Jennie covered her face from embarrassment.

"Yeah, especially when she eats. Cutest thing." Jungkook murmured.

"ARMY, pay attention to how she eats when she's getting filmed next time. You'll know what we're talking about." Jin pointed out.

'Improvement.'

"I wrote that," Suga revealed. "I remember you were so timid during the times we would shoot our music videos. And with me teaching you about rapping, you're so serious about it and learning quickly. I'm proud of you. Watching you grow with us since you move from America to here."

"Aw, Suga, thank you." She smiled

"Next, Jungkook!" Suga revealed his board.

'A Muscle pig'

Hobi laughed loudly with the members. Money was also written and Hobi revealed that the designer at the salon would give them cosmetics and it would always go to Jungkook since he's crazy about cosmetics.

"Do you use them all?" Suga asked

"I do." Jungkook grinned

"I think it's his hobby. Collecting the cosmetics. Like Jin and J-Hope collect toy figures. I think it's like that to him. Maybe displaying the cosmetics makes him feel good."

"Rap Monster!" Suga revealed his board.

'Aggressive raccoon'

"Raccoon? Ha!" Jennie laughed

"What is this!?" Rapmon exclaimed, grabbing the post-it note, and tossing it at V.

"Why the raccoon?" Jen asked

"He looks like it," V answered to laughs

'Tempted to strangle you with my pillow because of your loud snoring'

"He really does snore loudly. I think we all feel that way." Jimin agreed.

"See!" Jennie shouted.

"AH! You wrote that!?" Rap Monster yelled, pointing at her

"Yep!" She smirked.

"Yah!"

'Punching. Hitting people while he's dancing'

"Oh my gosh, yes, that. He accidentally smacked me in the face while we were in dance practice." Jennie revealed

"I said I was sorry!" Rap Monster whined.

"I remember that day, hahah. Jungkook, V and Jimin ganged up on Rapmon for doing that. Maknae line gets so protective of Jennie." J-Hope giggled

"Squad!" She high fived the Maknae liners

'You are the best'

"I wrote it," Jimin revealed. "It looks like Rap Monster is always worried and stressed out." 

'Chin'

"Yeah, if he gets serious he's always moving his chin like..." Suga demonstrated.

"I looked at it carefully." Jungkook pointed out

"Why are you watching me? Why do you like me so much?" Rap Monster accused, jokingly. 

"I like observing you, really."

"Do I make my chin like this?" Rap Monster started moving his chin all around, as everyone laughed. 

Suga revealed his board.

'Lamb skewer'

'Too bouncy'

'A sloth'

'Saint'

"Doesn't he look like a saint sometimes?" Rapmon asked

'Grandpa'

"What is this?" Suga questioned the notes on his board.

"He reminds me of a grandpa." Jennie giggled

"Why? I'm only 23. You all know that I do my best. I just sleep a lot."

'Suga eat healthy and have some vitamins'

"He has a lot of healthy foods and vitamins. And he does eat them well." Jin guaranteed

"Thinking about you all, it feels like those two years passed in a second," Suga added. "This is the special day. It's our 2nd anniversary. So, a special guy gave us a message. It's an audio message."

The members turned to the audio that was being played.

'I'm so proud of you all. Even though there are so many schedules, you guys are not complaining. Please stay like that and I won't want anything more from you.'

Hobi and Rap Monster started making loud noises as they continued to listen

'Well, maybe it's because you are all very stressed out, you are having a hard time getting up in the morning when we have some schedules. Especially, Jeon...Jung...kook...'

Jungkook sat back in his seat, throwing his head back as he clapped his hands while laughing with the members.

'I'm really having a hard time waking up too. I'm a lot older than you and it's very difficult for me to have the same schedule with you. However, waking you up makes me 10 years older. Please wake up early and let's start our day at the right time.'

Jungkook took the camera to give a message to Manager Sejin. "I may wake up a bit later than others but I don't arrive at the car at last." He grinned

"I'm sorry but you really are giving us a hard time," Jin said

"You never wake up even though we yell at you or shake you like this." V started hitting the Golden Maknae.

"Sejin! I'll do better!" Jungkook announced

"Yeah, let's do better for our manager," Hobi said

"We should also be really nice to the people around us. We should keep our first intention."

After they played Boys with Fun, Suga announced that the show was almost over and requested to have a little speech. One by one the members give messages to ARMY.

"Ah, I'm not always good with words. So much has happened in two years and it's all because of you ARMY." Jennie began her speech with a smile. "Every day is a new adventure for BTS and I wouldn't have it any other way. I hope you continue to support us and I hope next year more of our wishes will be fulfilled. Let's remain happy and healthy. Happy 2nd anniversary! Woo! Thanks for spending 2 years with us. Time really flies when you're having fun."

Suga was the last one to say his speech, "It's been two years. Maybe that can be such short years for people. If we were working at some company, we wouldn't even be able to get the assistant manager title. So many things happened in 2 years. It was such a short period of time but at the same time, it was quite a long time. Thanks to ARMY, you've been there all the time. You are with us every second, I hope this lasts for 20 years. If possible, 200 years."

"200?" Jennie raised a brow as the members laughed with her

"Well, it's the 21st century."

"I don't want to live that long," Hobi said

"Yeah, that's too much," Jen added

After they bicker, Suga continued his speech, "To the 200th anniversary! With our fans like my family, oh, well. You are my family I love you! By the way, BTS Festa, which is for celebrating our 2nd anniversary, is almost done. Right, and we'll meet you all at our second MUSTER. There will be lots of fun performances. Please look forward to it. Alright, really. It's time to say goodbye. This was SUGA SUP-D, the professional DJ. Wasn't it fun? I don't know how it will seem to you later, but it was really funny for us. Next time, it will be a bit different. Well, there was a bit more adult talk this year. This show grows up as we are growing up."

"Talking about growing up, shouldn't the DJ grow up, too?" Rapmon asked.

"I don't grow up anymore. My growth plate is useless now."

"Well, for whom need the pure and clear radio show-"

"Stop it!" Suga cut Jungkook off, slamming the script down as he stood up. "Why do we need the script!"

"Finally! We're done!" Jennie tossed her script in the middle as the members did the same

"Yay! It's done! Woo!" Hobi cheered.

"Hey, calm down. We should really say goodbye." Suga said. "Thanks for listening! It was BTS KKUL FM 06.13MHZ. See you later! Bye!" He closed as the members waved and presented finger hearts to the camera.

Forced To Believe Chapter 32- That Was A Miracle

Chapter Summary: The Shield face CM Punk at TLC. Ambrose continues to be on thin ice with Morgan

Words: 4,000+

-------

Roman was pounding his fist at Punk while the crowd chanted 'CM Punk'. Meanwhile, Ambrose and Punk were talking trash to each other and ended up locking up. Dean tried his best to get Punk near his team but failed.

'Smart...' Morgan thought as Punk hit Ambrose with an arm drag.

"Hey! I already beat you twice, give somebody else a shot." Punk said.

Ambrose tags in Rollins while Punk gets out of the ring and takes a breather. Seth gets out of the ring to go after him but Punk slides back into the ring.

"This is a simple game of cat and mouse." JBL looked on as Seth got annoyed.

"You think this is funny huh? You think you're real funny!" Seth angrily yelled at Punk while he grinned at him.

"What do you think is going through the mind of Morgan?" Cole asked as the camera showed Morgan's blank expression towards Punk while he wrestled Seth in the ring.

"Hard to tell but I really want to see her get in this ring already," King said. 

Punk hits Seth with two neckbreakers and continues to isolate him from his teammates. But Seth manages to tag in Roman after a while.

"Uh oh. The big guys in the ring." JBL said. 

Roman picks up Punk and throws him to his corner. He stomps on him as the ref starts to count. When he tries to go after Punk again, he gets kicked in the face. Punk elbows Dean and Seth off the ring while Morgan ducks his attack.

"She ducked that with ease." King complimented. 

Punk turns his attention to Roman but gets dropped by him. He tags in Seth as Seth takes control of him. 

The crowd started chanting 'CM Punk' again and then began to chant 'We Want Morgan'

"Uh oh. Here we go!" Cole listened to the crowd. 

The Philly Diva watches as Dean gets in the ring and stomps on Punk's lower stomach.

'The ribs...' Morgan thought as she continued to observe.

Dean throws Punk to the corner and tags in Roman. He throws Punk out of the ring, near the announce table and once Punk gets up, Roman grins. He runs to spear Punk but runs into the announce team and hits his eye on JBL's chair as the crowd gets hyped. 

"Roman!" She yelled. 

This was not good. Seth gets off the apron to check on him while Dean has his hands on his head in shock.

"Roman Reigns sent over the announce table!" Cole exclaimed as King cheered and Punk rolled back into the ring. 

The doctor goes to help Reigns and sees that his eye is cut.

"Oh no," Morgan murmured as Roman started holding his eye. 

When he gets back in the ring so he won't be counted out, Punk starts to take control of his eye as Roman yells out in pain. 

Morgan did not like what she saw. She was getting worried about Roman's wellbeing and it began to make her angrier and motivated her more to want to get in the ring.

After throwing Punk out of the ring, Roman holds his eye, saying "Ah Shit..." and tags in Seth.

Morgan gets off the apron to go comfort Roman with the doctor while Seth and Punk wrestle in the ring.

Dean gets off the apron as well to check on Roman. After Roman explains what happened, Morgan and Dean get back on the apron. 

She was hoping that Roman would be able to continue the match. She hates to see him hurt like that. 

Seth picks up Punk but he fights out and throws Seth into Dean, as he falls off the apron. When Seth turns around Punk kicks him and pins him for a 2 count.

'We Want Morgan' chants surround the arena again. After Punk recovers, he turns his attention to the Outspoken Diva as the crowd cheers. Morgan shoots Punk a blank stare before slowly smirking at him as he points at her.

"You're next." 

"Okay." She replied, not bothered by his words. 

Seth recovers and rolls over to his corner but sees only Morgan on the apron. Dean gets back on the apron while she has her hand out for a tag. The crowd chants 'Yes!' once Seth and Morgan make eye contact.

"Tag me in," Dean demanded with his hand out.

The crowd chants 'No' once Rollins looks in Dean's direction

"What's it gonna be? Is Rollins gonna tag in Morgan?" Cole looked on.

"Do it, Seth! Tag her in! Don't tag in Ambrose!" King cheered on.

Making his decision, Rollins decides to tag in Morgan as the crowd erupts into loud cheers.

"What the hell, Seth?" Dean angrily asked

"Morgan's tagged in!" King exclaimed.

"Ambrose doesn't look too happy!" Cole yelled.

"The Outspoken Diva has been chosen! It's time!" JBL shouted

"Chill out. Let her have her time to shine." Seth retorted to Dean as Morgan slowly got in the ring. 

When Punk was about to run after her, Seth quickly picked her up and spun her around as she hit Punk with a kick in the face. 

He stumbles back as he goes to the corner across from The Shield's corner. Seth gets on the apron as Morgan looks at Punk. Punk holds his mouth and looks at the crowd.

"I got my wish." He said as the crowd cheered when they circled around each other. "Let's see what you got,"

They lock up and Punk throws her to the ropes but misses his trademark kick as she holds on to the ropes.

"Smart girl. Impress me more." He said as she released the ropes.

"Looks like Morgan has been watching Punk's moves. She knew what was coming," JBL said. 

Punk steps up to her but she manages to kick him in the gut as he winces and holds his stomach. 

"She's targeting the ribs. That's a good advantage." Cole looked on

"Listen to me. Do not ever wrestle me gently because I'm a woman. Wrestle me like you would do with a WWE Superstar. Don't hold back against me." She said before kicking him in the stomach again and grabbing him for a butterfly DDT.

"Stay on him. You're doing great!" Seth cheered on. 

She tries to hit Punk with a bulldog but he pushes her away. When she turns around, they both kick each other as their legs cross but she stumbles back since Punk's kick had more of an impact. He throws her to the turnbuckle and gives her a chop to the chest as the crowd 'Woos' and he does it three more times until she reverses it.

"Look at this!" King exclaimed as she hit him with a few chops and then hit him with a neck choke with her foot while the ref counted. 

Punk manages to grab her leg by the ankle and walk away from the turnbuckle as Morgan hops back. 

"Uh oh." King looked on

He trips her down and she falls on her back. Punk was about to strike with an elbow but she moved out of the way. 

They look at each other and Punk nods. 

"Interesting..." he said. 

Morgan runs to Punk but he strikes her with a hip toss and puts her in a headlock on the mat as she tries to fight out of it. 

"Come on Morgan. I know you can do better than this." He provoked her as she managed to stand up. 

She knees him in the stomach as he falls and holds his ribs. She drags him to the middle rope and gets on the apron to give him a running knee to the face. 

"Yikes! That may have hurt Morgan a bit." Cole said as she held her knee from the impact.

"You're hardheaded." She complained before getting back in the ring. 

She waits for him to get on his knees and she runs to the ropes to hit him with a shining wizard, pinning him for a 2 count. 

"Atta girl." Seth cheered on while Ambrose watched, still upset she was in the match.

Morgan decides to go onto the ropes and goes for a moonsault but Punk moves out of the way as the crowd 'Ohs'

"And nobody home. Could this be it?" Cole asked as Morgan held her stomach. 

She holds on to the ropes, near her team's corner and sees Dean.

"Tag me in," Dean demanded as he had his hand out.

She shook her head as the crowd continued to support her. "I got a lot to prove." 

When she stands up, Punk puts her in a waist lock from behind and lifts her up and she counters with a falling facebuster.

"What a counter!" Cole exclaimed as she quickly pinned Punk for a near fall. 

Punk rolls away from her and holds his mouth.

"Clever girl." he complimented as she smirked.

"Save it. Get up and wrestle," She said as he got up. 

They run to each other to give each other a clothesline but Punk brings

her down since he is stronger. He pins her for a two count. Then he grabs her up and throws her to the corner and strikes her with a step up high knee. He follows the move with a clothesline as she holds her mouth and gets pinned for a 2 count.

"She's still kicking out. Maybe Punk underestimated her." JBL said. 

Punk grabs her but she fights back and manages to hit him with the backfire as the crowd cheers. She decides to get back on the top rope and hit him with a crossbody and pins him for a 1 count.

"She's flying all over the place," King said as Morgan got back on the top rope and hit Punk with a dropkick. 

She waits for Punk to get up from behind and puts him in a crossed arm choke like a straightjacket and brings him down as his back hits her knees.

"She's got that locked in. What is this move? A new breakdown?" King looked on

She releases the hold and positions him for the breakdown as she leans back to put pressure. 

"This would be an upset if Punk taps out," Cole said. Punk escapes it and grabs her for the Anaconda vice as Morgan tries to go to the ropes and the crowd gets hyped. "Anaconda vice!"

Dean tries to distract the ref as Punk releases the hold. He turns his attention to Ambrose who yells at him. 

Morgan holds her head and looks at Dean. 

"I am so not surprised..." She retorted as she recovered.

Not cool. She didn't want anybody to distract her opponent. She wanted to do this fairly. 

Punk turns his attention back to her and throws her back to the turnbuckle. He runs to her but she uses her legs to stop him and trap his neck in between her legs. She hits his head on the back of her right leg making him stumble back.

She throws him to the turnbuckle across and hits him with a handspring back elbow as the crowd cheers.

"Shades of Chyna are showing in Morgan's moveset," Cole said as she threw him away from the turnbuckle. "Going high risk again,"

She goes for another cross body but Punk catches her and puts her into the GTS position. The crowd gets excited but Morgan fights out of it. She leans on the ropes near her teammates

"So close. I underestimated you. Show me more." Punk said as he motioned her to come at him. 

She was about to go after him again but Dean tags himself in by tapping her arm and the crowd boos, clearly displeased that she wasn't wrestling Punk anymore.

"What? I wanted to see more of Morgan." King exclaimed as Morgan turned to Ambrose, irritated.

"Really?" she exclaimed as she had no choice but to get on the apron. asks and gets on the apron as the crowd chants 'We Want Morgan' again.

"You've done enough. Just rest up." he responded over the loud 'We Want Morgan' chants. 

"I wasn't done with her." Punk pointed to her while she had just rolled her eyes at Ambrose.

"I don't care. You're going up against me now." Dean retorted. 

Morgan felt her adrenaline running. She just wrestled the Best in The World and loved every second of it. 

It was an honor.

Later in the match, Punk puts Dean in the GTS position but Seth runs in the ring and gets hit with the GTS instead. Punk turns his attention back to Dean and puts him in the GTS position again but Dean escapes as Roman gets in the ring. He runs towards Punk about to spear him but Punk moves out of the way as Ambrose gets speared. The crowd goes wild as Morgan's eyes widen and puts her hands on her mouth. 

"Dean!" Morgan exclaimed after removing her hands.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!" King shouted.

"Punk sidestepped him!" Cole exclaimed as Morgan got in the ring and grabbed Punk from behind. "What is she doing?"

"Roman!" she called out as he held his eye and looked in her direction to see her holding Punk. 

He runs, attempting to spear him but Punk escapes the hold as Morgan gets speared instead. The crowd went wild as she sold the spear well and made it look even more devastating 

"No!" King shouted

"Oh my gosh!" JBL exclaimed.

"Two in a row!" Cole yelled as Roman was hovering over Morgan. 

"Morgan!" Roman shouted as realization hit him.

"Oh my God! What have we just witnessed? He just speared Morgan! She's probably broken in half." Cole looked on.

Reigns looks at what he did in disbelief. He just speared Morgan. One of the people most important to him. He couldn't forgive himself for this. 

"Morgan, are you all right? I'm sorry!" He exclaimed and held her head but then got thrown out of the ring by Punk.

Punk pins Ambrose to win the match and runs out of the ring while the crowd goes wild that he has managed to win.

"Here is your winner! CM Punk!" Lilian announced.

"That was a miracle," JBL said as Roman looked at the damage he had done, feeling disappointed once he got back in the ring.

"Morgan is really hurt," Cole said as she held her stomach in pain.

"Morgan. Morg are you okay?" Seth asked as he went to comfort her with Roman.

"Roman, it's not your fault," Rollins reassured and put his hand on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry..." Roman said to her.

She looked at him and shook her head. "It's fine." She managed to say. "It wasn't your fault."

Once Ambrose got back up and saw her down, he kneeled before her, yelling, "What the hell happened!?" 

"He accidentally speared her," Seth explained as Dean started to look upset.

"Punk moved out the way," Roman said as Ambrose held his stomach, still recovering from his spear.

"Could have been worse." She said as a doctor came into the ring.

"Is she going to be all right?" Seth asked as the doctor checked her stomach.

"It's definitely her ribs." The doctor explained while Roman's face began to show even more guilt.

Seth sighed out of disappointment.

Dean was seeing red and growled, "Damn it! I'm going to kill Punk for this."

"Let's focus on Morgan for now," Seth replied. "Calm down."

"This is my fault..." Roman grumbled.

"Roman, it's okay. It's not your fault." Morgan spoke as she winced in pain.

"We need to get her backstage and into the trainer's room." The doctor said as he was about to help her up

"Don't...I can walk..." She managed to help herself up with the ropes and held her stomach. "I can walk." 

The crowd cheered to support her. But when she tried to take a step, she stumbled and fell into the arms of Rollins. 

"I'll help her," Seth said as he gently held her while Dean was still hurt from Roman's spear and Roman's eye was still messed up.

"I feel weak now..." She said, disappointed that she had to be carried out the ring.

"Morgan, you showed guts out there. You're not weak." Seth reassured as they went backstage.

"I hope Morgan is okay," King said.

"I hope so too but don't be surprised if she has her stomach taped up," JBL added.

Morgan tweets 'No pain no gain right? #TLC'

Punk tweets 'WWEMorgan101 you've impressed me at TLC. You put your words into action. But, don't think this is over between us. I still want a match once you're cleared.'

Morgan replies 'I'm Honored. CMPunk'

'So, is that a yes?' Punk tweets.

'Maybe...' Morgan replies back.

'At The Shield's Hideout'

The Shield were recovering after their match with CM Punk during TLC. Roman was sitting on a crate, trying to fix his eye, Dean was holding his side and Morgan was standing next to Seth. 

"It happens every once in a while, okay? It's not a big deal." Seth said.

"I agree," Morgan spoke. "You don't have to be upset about it, it's just­-"

"Oh yeah." Dean interrupted. "Ah. Yeah, my best friend spears me and I get a broken rib..."

"You act like I did it on purpose. You know I pull the trigger. If I see a spot, I take it." Roman replied.

"Ah~" Dean held his ribs. 

"I didn't mean to. I can't see anything right now..."

"Hey! Look! Come on. CM Punk didn't beat The Shield." Seth said.

"What do I look like? Do I look like a target?" Ambrose asked Roman, still bothered as Seth and Morgan glanced at each other. 

"Chill out!" Seth exclaimed. "Sit down and calm down. The Shield beat The Shield, but guess what? People win the lottery every single week. You know what? Even the Cubs win the World Series once a century."

Dean groaned and held his stomach again as Morgan was amused at his actions. He was being too dramatic. 

"CM Punk is the luckiest man alive. Look, this thing is gonna heal." Seth pointed to Roman's eye and then Dean's ribs. "These are gonna be all right."

"I'm pretty lucky, you speared the crap out of me," Dean grumbled. "Ow..."

"We are still the most dominant force in this industry," Seth went on.

"Does it look bad?" Dean lifted up his shirt.

"Dean, you're fine," Morgan replied with a hint of irritation in her voice because of his constant complaining.

"Yeah, you'll be fine, man. Take it easy. Nothing's gonna stop us. Not tonight, not ever all right?" Seth added.

"Just watch where you're going next time, huh?" Dean said to Roman.

Morgan rolled her eyes. "Oh my gosh..."

"I can't see anything. I got all kinds of fluids floating out of my eye." Roman explained.

"It looks horrible." Dean went on.

"Hey! Focus!" Seth patted Dean's chest.

"Don't touch me like that right now," Dean replied

"Believe in The Shield, guys. Come on," Seth put his fist out and his three teammates bumped fists with him. "We run this joint. We­-we fine, chill out, jeesh man. Morgan got speared too and she's quiet as ever. And look at my eye for crying out loud. Common, I got busted in the face. Look at this. Pff," he pointed to his eye 

"Pff, yeah, you did." Roman chuckled at him after taking a look at his bruise.

"You should spear him next time, see how he likes it." Dean pointed to Seth who was walking away.

'WWE Exclusive Video'

Morgan was in the trainer's room while the doctor was taping her stomach. She saw Seth walking into the room and smiled. "Hey."

"Hey. How are you holding up?" he asked.

"I'm doing okay. It could have been worse. Thanks for supporting me out there."

"No problem. It was your time to shine. Dean needs to stop being so protective and let you do you. You have what it takes to take on WWE Superstars. Just keep doing what you're doing. I'll support you no matter what. I'll always have your back." 

She chuckled as the doctor finished taping her stomach. "Thanks. I really appreciate it."

Seth kissed her forehead. "Feel better all right? You were a tough chick out there. Keep shining. I'll see you on Raw," he gave her a wink and left the room.

Morgan touched the tape on her stomach and sighed, turning to the doctor. "How long?"

"You should be cleared before Tribute to the troops." The doctor replied as she nodded.

"Guess I'm going to be out of the ring for a while." 

Moments later, Roman walked into the room as the doctor walked away. "Hey, Morgan," 

"Hey. How's your eye?" She asked as she placed a hand on his cheek to get a good look at his face.

He smiled and placed his hand over hers before gently removing it from his face. He ended up holding her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"It's doing okay but more importantly, how are you doing?"

"I'm out of the ring until Tribute to the Troops..." She sighed. 

"I'm sorry..." He looked down.

She gave his hand a gentle squeeze in return as he looked back up at her. "Hey. Don't apologize. I'll be okay."

"I'll get him on Raw for you. Punk needs to pay for this."

"You don't have to do that."

"I have to do that. He can't get away with that, Morgan. I'm going to spear him in half and make sure he feels what you felt. That spear was not meant for you. It was meant for him and he got lucky. On Raw, he won't get lucky."

"I know. I forgive you. It's not your fault."

"I promise I'm going to give Punk a spear for you and make sure it hurts. Badly."

"That sounds great­-"

"Morgan." Dean's voice interrupted the two as they quickly removed their hands.

"I'll talk to you later. Feel better." Roman said and left once Dean approached them

"How long are you out?" Dean asked.

"Mostly likely until Tribute to the troops." She replied.

Dean sighed. 

Morgan knew that sigh. 

'Here we go...another lecture...' She thought.

"You see the stuff you get yourself into? You always keep having targets on your backs and now look where it got you."

"Okay, let's back up a second. I knew the risk and I'm not surprised I got hurt. Jeesh Dean, I wish you would at least support me just a little bit more, instead of being so protective. I can handle myself."

"Really? Well, what I saw out there thought otherwise. You shouldn't have gotten yourself involved."

"First of all, what Roman did was an accident, and second of all, I'm not going to just sit back and watch the men of The Shield do everything. I'm The Shield's girl for a reason and I'm not going to sit there and be weak or be eye candy. I'm not Eva Marie. Seth and Roman agree with me on that. So if you think I'm going to be somebody's bitch around here, that's not happening. I'm tired of you being overprotective. Let me face the challenges."

"Who said you were anyone's bitch? I treat you like a queen."

"When your anger doesn't get in the way. You're a different person when you're angry, just like right now. Fix it and check yourself before you lose me. For the past few weeks it's been about you, you, you, you and not us. We're wrestlers, Dean."

"It's about me? I don't see you doing anything around here. Since you lost the Diva's Championship, you've been just sitting and watching our matches, attracting guys like you just don't care."

"You're losing your mind, right now. Do you hear yourself? This is not you at all. You think I like having the Wyatts stalking me? You think I like having Goldust kissing me? And do you think I like having CM Punk target me? I hate it but I'm willing to grin and bear it. I'm not going to back down from anything or anybody. I'm going to face the consequences. Dean, what is triggering your anger right now? Is it because Punk is calling you the weak link? Are you still jealous of all the men after me? Dean, I'm not going anywhere. No one is going to take you away from me. I don't love anyone else but you."

"I'm not the weak link. You just keep bringing yourself into problems that The Shield can handle on their own."

"I cannot believe what I'm hearing from you, right now. So, are you saying that just because I'm a woman, I can't go and wrestle guys and can't deal with targets on my back? So, I guess you are also blaming me for The Shield losing the match, huh?"

Ambrose tried to calm himself down as he let out a sigh. "No...look, I'm sorry." 

He placed a hand on her cheek but she removed it from her face.

"No. You've said enough. Now I want you to listen to me and listen to me good." She got off the seat and looked up at him. "Get your act together before you make an enemy out of me." 

Once she walked past him to leave the room, Ambrose sighed out of annoyance and glared at the floor.

Words: 5,000+

------ 'WWE Main Event'

Backstage, Jon was taping his hands while Melanie came up and kissed him on the cheek. 

"So, how was fanboy land?" she teased

He chuckled. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Oh come on. I saw that adorable smile." She grinned while he finished taping up his hands. "I have to admit when you smile like that, it looks adorable."

"I know, you can't resist my good looks."

"Well, it looks like I wasn't the only one fangirling on Old School Raw."

"You were fangirling hard. I thought you were about to faint."

"I didn't fangirl a lot."

He gave her a look. "Really? Popping grapes like crazy, squealing and giggling at Piper?"

"Okay, okay, but you were smiling when you got the snake on you, so, haha."

"At least I wasn't squealing and blushing, Oh my gosh, Piper! I love you!" he said in a high voice.

"H-hey!" Melanie exclaimed as he laughed. "He is my idol. He inspired me to be the Outspoken Diva I am today. His promos are awesome. And who cares if I was blushing? I can make you blush."

"Nah, you can't. I bet I can make you blush more than Piper did to you."

"Really? I like bets, what's your challenge."

"Let's see how long we can resist each other. Let's bet that whoever can seduce the other wins. No sex, just trying to seduce the other."

"Sounds like fun."

"I'll win this bet with flying colors."

"And why are you so confident?"

Jon smirked. "Because you'll break within a week."

"Ha, we'll see about that. I accept your challenge." She shook his hand. "And whoever loses has to give the person a lap dance."

"Good. When I win, I want you in a schoolgirl outfit."

"In your dreams."

"I'm also giving you a spanking for being a bad girl."

"Ha! Keep dreaming. That fantasy of yours isn't going to become a reality." She pulled him in, about to kiss him but stopped and stepped back.

"You're such a tease."

"I know. Get used to it, Moxley."

"I'll show you, Moxley, real soon."

"Ooh, I'm so scared." 

'WWE Exclusive Video'

Morgan stretched her legs and Roman walked up to her as she caught him looking at her legs.

"Can I help you?" she playfully glared and retorted at him. 

Roman quickly removed his eyes from her legs and cleared his throat as she stopped stretching. He gave her her black gloves and she put them on.

"You forgot these," he said.

"Thanks. You know, you've been acting pretty weird lately. You okay? You look like you really wanna say something."

Roman started to look a little frustrated but calmed down. "...There is something that I need to get off my chest. But I'll tell you when I'm ready."

"You sure? You don't have to tell me if it really isn't any of my business."

"I know, but you should know."

"Okay." she smiled. "Whenever you're ready, you can talk to me. Anytime, I'm here for you, just like you're here for me."

"Thanks,"

'Another WWE Exclusive Video'

"I can't believe you're facing CM Punk tonight. I'll be rooting for you." Kaitlyn said as they walked backstage.

"Thanks. I'm really nervous. No more games, it's real and I need to put my words into action." Morgan said. "Ready to take down AJ?"

"Yeah, can't wait. Whoa." Kaitlyn stopped walking.

"Are you okay?" Morgan asked as she stopped walking too. 

She saw Kaitlyn pointing straight ahead and they saw Rosa talking to Roman.

"That's weird." Kaitlyn looked confused. "Looks like she wrecked her brain when she dyed her hair blond. Why the heck is she talking to your teammate?"

"I have no idea..." the Outspoken Diva narrowed her eyes at Rosa.

"I would keep an eye out for Rosa."

"Yeah, I need to. I don't want Roman to get distracted. He's already on a roll and now she's getting involved. That's not cool. I'll have to talk to him about it."

"Please do. If you don't, I will. I don't like what Rosa is doing. She may be plotting something."

"I just don't want him to be caught in her evil ways. I don't want his heart broken either. He doesn't deserve that."

"You care a lot about your teammate. Growing a soft spot?" Kaitlyn nudged her.

"I care about him a lot. I just think that he's hiding something from me. We always vent to each other but now, he hasn't vented to me lately. It's like he really wants to tell me something but keeps holding it in. I could see the frustration on his face when he talked to me earlier today. I hope he's okay and nothing is wrong."

"Do you think they're dating?"

"I hope not..."

'The Shield's Hideout'

Morgan was wearing her Shield attire with a cut up shirt and black pants. She had her hair in a purple hair tie. 

"Ready to serve some justice?" Seth asked and pounded his fist with hers.

"A little bit. Just nervous." She replied.

"You are going to do just fine. Trust me." Dean said. "CM Punk fails to realize that he is in for a treat. You are going to beat him and you are going to inflict a lot of punishment on him."

"He's going to regret every single smart remark he's said about you. You are going to own him tonight." Roman added.

"Thanks, guys." she smiled. "Let's do this." She put her fist out and so do they. "Believe in Morgan and Believe in The Shield." She announced as the camera zoomed in on their fists.

"Morgan is in action next! And she's going up against CM Punk!" Miz said on commentary as they go to a commercial.

'To The Gorilla'

Melanie was listening to music, trying to calm her nerves and saw Phil walking over to her. She took off her headphones and grinned at him. "Hey."

"Hey, Mel. Ready for our match?"

"A little nervous."

"You're going to do fine. I'll prepare myself for your kicks." He said and laughed with her. 

"Thanks."

"No problem," he replied and they heard his theme song come on. "See you out there grapes." 

She could hear the Philly fans chant 'CM Punk' loudly after he got in the ring.

Melanie exhaled. This was real. She was finally going to be in a one on one match against CM Punk. A WWE Superstar. She had a lot to prove and wanted 2014 to be the year when she faced WWE Superstars. She was glad she was able to have the privilege to do so. She wanted to bring some of the Attitude Era back and bring enjoyment to watching the women.

While she heard The Shield's theme come on, she noticed that they were going to stand at ringside to cheer her on. Moments later, The New Age Outlaws arrived at the gorilla and greeted her. 

"How's the mini Chyna doin'?" Monty (Billy Gunn) grinned.

"Nervous."

"You're going to do great out there. Just like your cousin. I know she's watching and can't wait to see you shine out there." B.G James (Road Dogg) said.

"Thank you so much." she beamed.

'Oh, you didn't know? You better call somebody!'

The New Age Outlaws waved goodbye and walked out to the stage. They were going to back up Punk just in case The Shield tried anything sneaky. They did their trademark promo while Melanie got into character and started to warm up by doing some push ups. 

She stood up and put on her Shield hoodie and put the hood over her head. Once her theme came on, the crowd began cheering loudly as she walked out onto the stage with a grin.

---------

"And introducing his opponent, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! She is one fourth of The Shield, Morgan Lopez!" Justin announced.

"Morgan and CM Punk. This is going to be one interesting match." Josh said on commentary.

"You bet. Punk seriously has a big disadvantage with this crowd backing up Morgan. This ain't Chicago, this is Philly. You are in Morgan's town now." Miz said as she spun around and tagged some hands.

After sliding into the ring, she got on the ropes.

"Let's go!" She yelled as she took off her hoodie and did her taunt. 

She pointed to her family and Leah who were cheering her on and jumped off. She smirked at Punk once her theme faded out. The crowd chanted 'Let's Go Morgan' while Punk looked at the crowd in amazement. 

"Yeah! You're in her town now! This ain't Chicago! This ain't Chicago!" Seth taunted. 

'Ding Ding Ding'

"And here we go!" Miz exclaimed.

"Let's go Punk, you got this." Road Dogg cheered on. 

Morgan and Punk circle around each other and she puts her hand out to Punk and he immediately shakes it.

"Looks like someone is showing respect," Josh said.

"No matter how many times Morgan has mouthed off to Punk, this is an experience she will never forget. She's honored to be in the ring with a WWE Superstar like CM Punk." Miz replied. 

Punk and Morgan lock up but he pushes her down. She looks at him while he motions her to come at him. She narrows her eyes and stands up. They lock up again and this time, she trips him down as the crowd cheers. She smirks and motions him to come at her just like he did earlier.

"Little bit of mind games." Josh looked on.

"Oh~ you better believe that," Seth smirked.

"She ain't the one to be messed with, Punk," Roman stated.

"You're going down, Punk!" Dean taunted. 

They lock up again and he throws her to the ropes and connects with a hip toss, turning it into an arm submission.

"Fight it." Seth supported while she winced in pain. 

She manages to stand up and escape the hold. She clotheslines him 3 times and goes for a dropkick. She waits for him to get on his knees so she can give him a shining wizard. Morgan pins him for a 2 count and begins to put him in the camel clutch.

"Squeeze him harder," Roman said.

"Squeeze the life out of him," Seth added. 

Punk manages to stand up and walk back to a turnbuckle, making her break the hold. He walks to the corner across from her and hits her with a running knee and a clothesline. He gets on the ropes and does the diving elbow on her.

"That's gotta hurt." Road Dogg said.

"This may be over." Josh looked on but Punk pinned her for a 2 count as the crowd cheered. "Punk thought he had her."

"She ain't going down that easy, Punk!" Rollins shouted. 

Morgan manages to get up but Punk attacks her with chops and a roundhouse kick as she stumbles back. He hits her with a neckbreaker and pins her for another 2 count. Morgan rolls out the ring and Punk decides to run to try to hit her with a suicide dive but she moves out of the way.

"Whoa!" Miz exclaimed as Punk fell face first, onto the floor. 

Morgan manages to take a breather as The New Age Outlaws walk over to Punk. The Shield come to her aid since they are near her and they start arguing with the New Age Outlaws.

The ref tries to calm them down as Morgan throws Punk back in the ring. She pins him for a two count. She gets on the apron and waits for him to get up so she can hit him with a diving clothesline. And when he gets up again, she runs and strikes with a swinging neckbreaker. 

"Punk needs to turn things around," Josh said.

"Drop him. Keep dropping him." Seth advised. 

Punk gets up and catches her kick. He pushes her back and kicks the right side of her stomach. Morgan returns a kick and they keep kicking each other until she starts hitting him with elbows to the head. Punk responds with elbows of his own until they are leaning on the ropes. The ref breaks it up while Morgan tries to go for another kick. Punk ducks it and puts her in a waist lock but she elbows him and hits him with a facebuster.

She gets on the top rope and goes for a crossbody but Punk catches her and picks her up for the GTS as the crowd gets hype. 

"Come on Morgan! Fight out of it!" Dean exclaimed but Punk connected with the GTS.

"It's over. Morgan put up a good fight." Josh said but Punk pinned her for a near fall as the crowd 'Ohs'

"No way." Miz looked on in awe as Punk looked at her in shock. 

The Shield was surprised but mostly relieved that she kicked out. They show Punk two fingers, saying it was a two count while the New Age Outlaws had their hands on their heads in surprise.

"No way, that was three! That had to be three." Punk exclaimed to the ref.

"It was two." The ref reiterated as the titantron showed Morgan kicking out before the three count.

"The resiliency of Morgan is really something," Miz praised. 

Morgan was breathing heavily and holding her chin, starting to feel the effects of Punk's kicks and knees. She knew he was going to be a tough opponent.

Punk picks her up and throws her back to the turnbuckle and hits her with a running knee. He follows up with an elbow and pins her for a 2 count. The crowd gets hyped once Punk puts her in the Anaconda Vice. 

"Uh oh! This may be over now!" Josh exclaimed.

"Morgan! Morgan! Do not tap out! Do not tap out!" Seth banged on the mat.

"Damn it Punk!" Dean yelled. "You're not going to win! You are not going to win!" He got on the apron but Roman brought him down.

"Calm down, she got this!" Roman exclaimed as Dean started pacing around, being the hothead that he was. 

Seth tries to calm him down while Roman starts to look annoyed. He was not going to let Dean ruin this match for her. He needed to calm down and not get so worked up every single minute.

"Do you submit!?" The ref asked. 

Morgan was desperately trying to break out of the hold. He was choking the life out of her. Luckily, she got her foot on the rope as The Shield was relieved.

Punk does the GTS taunt and waits for her to get up. Once she does, he puts her in the GTS but she counters with the Morganizer as the crowd cheers.

"Oh my gosh, she's about to beat CM Punk!" Josh shouted. 

"This is over! She got it!" Miz exclaimed. 

She rolls him over and pins him.

"1!"

"2!"

"No!" Morgan shouted once Punk kicked out for a near fall. "No! Why!?" 

"Don't get frustrated. You got him. Stay on him." Roman supported as he watched her get upset. 

She waits for Punk to get on his knees so she can give him a running knee lift. She pins him for another two count.

"Come on...give it up Punk!" Seth exclaimed.

"Make him suffer," Dean added.

Morgan decides to put him in a single leg Boston crab to try to make him tap but he escapes the hold.

Punk manages to fight back and hits Morgan with a belly to back suplex. She rolls over to the apron and stands up on the apron, near the announce table and The Shield. He was about to run through the ropes to knock her off with a shoulder thrust but she jumps up and does a split on the apron once Punk slides out of the ring and onto The Shield.

"Oh!" Miz exclaimed.

'Thank you, father, for teaching me ballet.' The Outspoken Diva thought. 

She is about to turn her head but Punk gets up and grabs her by the hair to pull her down.

"Punk taking out all members of The Shield," Miz said as he threw Morgan back in the ring. 

But then, Dean gets up and starts yelling at Punk at ringside and it catches his attention. He walks over to the ropes and watches Dean mouth off. Punk taunts him but then Morgan walks up to him from behind. She manages to pick him up from behind to set him up for the reverse GTS as the crowd pops loudly.

"Oh my gosh, she's picking him up!" Josh exclaimed.

"The strength of Morgan! Chyna taught her well!" The Miz praised. 

Punk wasn't seriously heavy, but he wasn't that light either. She manages to do the reverse GTS on him as the crowd starts to chant 'This is Awesome.'

"That move may have taken a lot out of Morgan. I wonder if she has anything left in the tank." Miz looked on as Punk and Morgan were laid out.

The crowd starts to chant 'Let's go Morgan! CM Punk!'

The ref starts to count and Morgan manages to crawl over to Punk and pin him.

"1!"

"2!"

"Oh!" The crowd shouted once Punk kicked out. 

Morgan was shocked and snapped her head to the ref.

"That was three!" She exclaimed.

"Two." The ref stated. 

Morgan sighs loudly and rolls away from Punk to recover.

"I thought she had him there. What the heck does Morgan have to do to win?" Josh asked.

"They both are tough competitors," Miz replied. 

Morgan sits up and sighs but Punk grabs her from behind, for the Anaconda Vise as the crowd gets hyped and she screamed "Crap!"

"Looks like Punk was playing possum," Josh looked on. 

The Shield start to panic but Morgan manages to hit him in the back of the head with her knee to make him release the hold. She picks up Punk and tries to do the bulldog on him but he pushes her off and hits her with a step up enzuigiri. Morgan falls out of the ring and near The Shield. Dean quickly goes to check on her but once Punk gets out of the ring, The Shield begin to step up to him.

The crowd cheers once the New Age Outlaws come to his aid. Punk and the New Age Outlaws start arguing with The Shield and don't notice Morgan getting in the ring and onto the top rope. 

"No way!" Josh chuckled while she dove on top of everyone.

"Let's friggin' go!" She yelled, taunting the crowd as they gave her a huge pop. 

She manages to get Punk in the ring. He manages to kick her in the stomach and run to the ropes but Morgan follows him and hits him with a knee to the stomach, taking a page out of Ambrose's book. She holds her stomach and grabs him to position him for the backfire. She does a loud battle cry and hits the move. 

"Will this be it!?" Miz exclaimed.

"1!"

"2!"

"Come on!" Morgan yelled as Punk kicked out again. 

Punk manages to lean on the turnbuckle as she gives him a handspring back elbow. Punk quickly grabs her from behind and puts her in the GTS position as he walks to the middle of the ring. Morgan escapes it and hits him with a bicycle superkick as Punk slowly falls down the mat. She pins him for another near fall as she bangs on the mat in frustation.

"Don't let the anger control you," Seth warned.

She turns to The Shield and they give her words of encouragement.

As they both recover, Punk kicks her in the stomach as she bends forward. He kicks her on the shoulder as she stumbles back and gets hit with a roundhouse kick. Morgan slowly falls down the mat. Punk goes high risk again and aims for the elbow but she moves out of the way.

"Will this be a turning point in the mat?" Josh asked. She pulls Punk to the middle rope and gets on the apron. She runs and gives him a knee to the face as the crowd 'Ohs' at the impact. "Painful knee by Morgan."

She gets back in the ring and waits for Punk to get on his knees. Once he does, she tries to kick him in the face but he ducks and quickly stands up and picks her up for the GTS. She escapes it and puts him in the Morganizer position until he escapes it and puts her back in the GTS hold. She escapes it again and delivers the backfire on him as the crowd cheers.

"Yes!" Seth yelled and high fived Dean and Roman. 

She pins him but for another near fall.

"No!" Morgan screamed.

"Damn it!" Dean banged on the mat. 

The Shield was getting frustrated for her.

"Come on Punk! You can do it!" Billy cheered.

"Shut your mouth, old man!" Seth yelled.

Morgan waits for Punk to get up from behind and catches him in a sleeper hold.

"Paying tribute to Hot Rod," Miz praised. Punk breaks out of it and throws her to the ropes. She held onto the ropes while he went for a dropkick. "Looks like Morgan knows all his tricks."

She runs and gives him a hurricanrana. Then, she jumps on the ropes and gives him a crossbody. She pins him for a one count and puts him in the breakdown as the crowd cheers. She starts to lean back more as Punk yells out in pain. 

"Give up already!" Morgan yelled. 

All of a sudden, Punk escapes the hold and puts her back in the Anaconda Vice.

"Oh no! She's caught!" Miz exclaimed. 

Moments later, Morgan is about to tap but loses consciousness when Punk puts too much pressure on her head. The ref checks her and rings for the bell to be rung as the crowd cheers for Punk.

"Here is your winner! CM Punk!" Justin announced.

The Shield weren't disappointed that she lost. They were proud of her and her efforts.

Punk got his hand raised as he held his stomach, still feeling the impact of Morgan's kicks. The New Age Outlaws get in the ring to celebrate with him. Morgan manages to regain consciousness and sighs. 

She started to look upset and ran her hands through her hair while she was disappointed in herself. 

"I failed..." She looked down in disappointment.

Punk stopped celebrating and turned his attention to her while his music went off. The crowd applauded for them both, praising their match. While Morgan was looking down, she saw feet in front of her. 

"Hey." He stood before her and she slowly looked up at him. 

Punk had his hand out and she decided to grab it. He helped her up as the crowd continued to give them a loud reception. They chant 'This was Awesome'

Morgan held her stomach since she was still feeling the effects of Punk's moves. Punk whispers something in her ear for a few moments and after he is done, he steps away from her. Morgan smiles and nods to him while he smirks and gets out of the ring with the New Age Outlaws. 

The Shield gets in the ring while Morgan mouths 'Thank you' to Punk and he mouths 'You're welcome.' while her theme comes on.

"Even though Morgan lost, you got to give her credit for the performance she's done. This is a match she will never forget." Miz praised.

'WWE Exclusive Video'

"Morgan, may I have a word?" Renee walked over to her while she was chatting with Kaitlyn.

"What's up?" She grinned.

"I wanted to get your thoughts on your match against CM Punk. You came up short but you showed a lot of girl power out there. How are you feeling?"

"I feel like I won. I feel like a winner. Win or lose, CM Punk took the time to get in the ring with me and we had one hell of a match. I'm proud of it. I may not like him but I respect him and I'm grateful that he wanted to wrestle me."

"She kicked butt out there." Kaitlyn praised.

"He got me a couple of times, I mean, Punk can hurt anything. I may have kicked out of the GTS but I couldn't handle the submissions. I'm disappointed in that but I'll just have to work on that a little more." Morgan continued.

"After the match, you took his hand as he helped you up. We saw him whisper in your ear, what did he say?" Renee asked.

Morgan chuckled, "He told me...he never met a woman who wanted to stand out so much from the other WWE Divas. He told me I earned his respect and wants to wrestle me again."

"Ooh, so Punk and Morgan aren't over?"

"Nah. Not by a long shot. I want closure. I'm going to beat him one day. He got lucky and outsmarted me tonight. Next time when we get in the ring, I'm going to make sure to try harder. He's an awesome competitor."

Morgan tweets 'Thanks CMPunk for taking the time to wrestle me. Moment I'll never forget.'

Punk replies 'Wow. WWEMorgan101 is being nice to me.'

'In The Ring'

Kaitlyn was in the ring with AJ while Tamina was at ringside. AJ seems to be taking control, and Morgan walks out to support Kaitlyn as the crowd cheers. 

"Here comes Morgan, again," Miz said.

"Come on Kaitlyn!" She supported at ringside.

"I'm surprised that she's out here. She lost to CM Punk earlier." Josh looked on. 

AJ gets hit with a backbreaker by Kaitlyn as the crowd cheers. She elbows AJ down and starts to build momentum by giving her clotheslines. She pins her for a two count and throws her to the ropes. AJ kicks her on the shoulder but runs into the gut buster.

"Awesome!" Morgan cheered. Kaitlyn pins her for a two count. "So close."

Kaitlyn tries to pick her up but AJ catches her in a submission. 

"AJ has locked that submission in deep." Josh said. 

Kaitlyn manages to power out by throwing her to the turnbuckle. AJ gets on the middle rope and goes for a crossbody but Kaitlyn catches her. She tries to go for the gutbuster but AJ counters with a roll up and wins.

AJ starts skipping around Kaitlyn and she stands up. Suddenly AJ jumps and grins at her before giving her a hug as the crowd cheers. 

"What the heck?" Josh asked

"I was thinking the same thing," Miz said in confusion. AJ got off of her and fixed herself while Tamina got in the ring. Once Kaitlyn turned around, she gets kicked by Tamina as the crowd boos. "Oh!"

Morgan quickly gets in the ring but AJ and Tamina escape. 

"Really? Really Tamina?" She retorted as she helped Kaitlyn. 

AJ grins and leaves with Tamina while Kaitlyn sits up and holds her head while she helps her. 

"You okay?" Morgan asked.

"I fall for it every time..." Kaitlyn sighed. "Do me a favor. Kick Tamina's ass for me and win the divas championship for me, the next time you win it." 

After she stood up, they both embraced as the crowd cheered.

'Backstage'

Melanie and April give each other sad smiles when they see Celeste zipping up her bag. 

Celeste sighed. "Goodbyes are too hard..."

"Yeah, they really are," Melanie replied.

"You two better stay and kick some serious butt. And Melanie, I hope you continue proving yourself by wrestling more superstars."

"I will, hopefully."

Celeste showed a sad smile and had her arms out while Melanie quickly went to hug her and began crying. "Haha, don't cry Melly. We'll see each other soon."

"I'm such a baby. I'm sorry. I'm just going to miss you and you attacking me with pillows all the time." 

Celeste started to have tears in her eyes and released her. "You're gonna ruin my makeup. Tomorrow is going to be the first day of my new life. There's so much to look forward to."

Melanie nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes. "I can't wait for Celestial Bodiez to debut. I'll be checking that out."

"You better." Celeste playfully glared at her.

"She's leaving!" Ettore (Big E) playfully sobbed and showed a sad face before hugging her. 

"Group hug!" April joined in and so did Melanie. "We love you, Celeste!"

Melanie tweets 'KaitlynWWE is the most awesome best friend anyone could ask for. Love you! #GoodbyesAreHard #OurFriendshipWillLastForever'

Celeste replies 'WWEMorgan101 Aw! I love you too! #OutspokenGrapeMonster'

Melanie replies back 'Continue to break SOME faces. I'm going to cherish every awesome moment we had.'

Celeste replies back 'I will! Just continue kicking guys' asses. We are going to continue cherishing our friendship. #StayStrong'

Melanie replies back 'Will do Hybrid Diva :)'

Later on, Chyna tweets 'WWEMorgan101 You impress me every time you get in that ring. #KeepBreakingFaces #KeepWrestlingGuys'

Melanie replies 'Aw, thanks! Love you too! I hope you look forward to the Royal Rumble'

Chyna replies 'WWEMorgan101 Oh trust me, I am patiently waiting for you to shine. Show everyone how it's done. I am so proud of you. #LaurerPower'

'Next Day, in Philly At The Fearless Athletics Cross Fit South Philadelphia Gym'

"Hey! There you are! What took you so long, weenie?" Leah dragged Melanie into the gym.

"I was hanging with my family." Melanie chuckled. "And I am not a weenie, you're the meanie."

"Beanie."

"Tortellini."

"Darn you. Ready for the Smackdown taping?"

"Yep, I can't wait to perform in front of my hometown again."

"I heard about Celeste, you okay?"

"I'm happy for her. I just miss her."

"Aye, you still got me, and the other divas." 

"True."

"So how's the bet with Jon going? Anyone make a move yet?"

"I'm going to. I just need to find him."

"He's over there, lifting weights. It's pretty dead here, so it's not hard to find him. Plus, his crazy, curly hair is easy to spot these days."

Melanie giggled and took off her sweat jacket, leaving her in gray sweatpants and a black sports bra. "I will be right back."

Leah chuckled while The Philly Diva started walking over to Jon. He was lying down, lifting weights, while he was shirtless and wearing shorts. 

She decided to straddle him, which quickly distracted him and made him groan. 

"Hey. You don't mind if I sit here, do you?" she greeted

"Not at all." he managed to say.

"Great, you're comfortable. You look really tense. I could change that if you just give in." She smirked and put her hands on his chest. She heard him grunt when she moved forward a bit. "So? Are you going to give in?"

Amused, he smirked. "You're not going to win this bet this easily. You just caught me off guard a little bit."

"Suit yourself." She got off him. "I'm going to let you off easy, this time."

He stood up. "You seem really confident. That's going to come back to haunt you."

"Sure..." Melanie grinned. "That's just a preview of what I'm going to do to you."

He leaned forward to whisper in her ear, "You know Mel...I know all your weak spots. I'm going to make you so hot and bothered, you're going to beg." He moved away and slapped her ass before walking away.

"Really?" She rubbed her behind.

Leah laughed at the show. "That was good."

'Smackdown'

Morgan was stretching backstage while bending down. She saw boots in front of her and stood up, letting out an annoyed sigh.

"Hello, Morgan." Rosa grinned.

"What the hell do you want...?" She retorted.

"Oh Morgan, you're so moody." she giggled.

"What do you want, Rosa...?"

"Oh nothing, just listening to Roman vent. We've been talking lately. He said some interesting stuff about you."

"First of all, how about you mind your business and stay away from my teammate."

"I can't. He is my business. He's been venting to me."

"Why do you always lie? Why would Roman want to talk to you? Besides he always goes to me to vent."

"Not anymore chica. You lost that title. And soon, you're going to lose the title of being The Shield's Girl."

"This is getting old. I'm tired of you divas thinking you can take my spot. It's not going to happen."

"Morgan, you walk around, thinking you're top diva, well listen up because I'm about to take you down and watch you crumble and fall in despair. It's going to be very entertaining. I can't wait for the next few weeks." 

"Listen to me." She sternly said and stepped up to her. "Stay away from my teammate. I know what you're trying to do. You want to gain your spotlight so you can be a part of The Shield. That's not going to happen. Back off of Roman or there are going to be some problems."

"Have a good evening, Morgan," she smirked and strutted away.

'Later'

Morgan found Roman at The Shield's Hideout, sitting on a crate and walked up to him. 

"Hey." She smiled.

"Hey. What's up?"

"Can you be honest with me?"

"Always." Roman ran his right hand through her hair.

"Is there something going on between you and Rosa?" She asked and he removed his hand.

"Huh?" He looked confused.

"I saw you two back at Main Event. And she said that you vented to her. I'm a little confused as to why. I thought I was the one you vented to. Did I do something wrong?" She asked while he sighed. "Look, I don't care who you want to talk to but I just care about you and really don't think she's the one to talk to. She's manipulative and I don't want to see you hurt."

"I'm already hurt..."

"What did she do?"

"She didn't do anything."

"Then who did? Who hurt you?"

"...You did." He stood up.

"What? How did I hurt you?"

"Can we discuss this later?"

"No. How did I hurt you?" She repeated. 

"It's nothing."

She was about to ask him another question but stopped.

"I just­-I want you to be careful." She gave him a worried look as he started to hold her hands. "I don't want you to get distracted and be under Rosa's manipulative ways. You're on a roll. Don't crash and burn because of her. Please. As a friend, please be careful."

"Yeah. Friends..."

"And we have each other's backs. I'm going to be here for you. Please don't forget what I said about Rosa. Be careful." 

"I will,"

"Good. I'll see you," she kissed his cheek and walked away.

Forced To Believe Chapter 34- Tribute To The Troops

Chapter Summary: The Shield attend Tribute To The Troops as Morgan and Tamina continue to go at it

Words: 3,000+

------ 'In The Ring'

Before the match, Morgan tweets '#OutspokenArmyGirl has arrived!'

'Sierra'

'Hotel'

'India'

'Echo'

'Lima'

'Delta'

'Shield'

The crowd cheers once The Shield get out of the army tank. 

"Now that's an entrance," JBL said.

Instead of wearing black like The Shield, Morgan wore an attire like Trish Stratus's at Tribute to The Troops when she teamed up with Ashley but it was a dark green color. She also wore a Shield themed hat with her fingerless gloves. And her hair was also straightened and still dyed black.

"This is a six man tag team match, set for one fall. Approaching the ring first, accompanied by Morgan Lopez, at a total combined weight of 707 pounds, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, The Shield!" Justin announced as The Shield jump off the tank. 

"Hey, look at Morgan, she's not wearing black tonight," JBL called out as she tagged some hands while The Shield walked through the crowd.

"This is interesting. I bet she's representing the troops." Cole replied.

Morgan gives her hat to a little girl as she jumps for joy and thanks her. She smiles at her and heads to the barricade. Dean helps her get over the barricade and she stands on the apron, resting her elbows on the ropes while the guys stand by her, in the ring.

After Rey and the Usos make their entrance, Dean turns to Morgan, lifting her chin to give her a long kiss on the lips.

"A good luck kiss from the Outspoken Diva," Cole observed as she grinned and jumped off the apron to watch the match.

"Now that is love right there. My favorite couple. True love, Cole." JBL cheered.

"Okay then..." Cole said as the bell rang with Ambrose getting the upper hand on Jimmy.

When he gets on the top rope, Jimmy throws him off and tags in Rey.

"Nice!" Seth complimented when Dean hit Rey with a headbutt. "Oh!" He exclaimed when he hit Rey with a chop to the chest.

When he throws Rey to the turnbuckle, Rey catches him in the 619 position as the crowd gets hyped.

"And Ambrose is gonna take a breather," Cole said when Dean rolled out the ring. 

Morgan walks up to him to help him out but Rey runs towards them. Ambrose decides to grab her by the waist and turns his back towards Rey coming at him.

"I'll try not to make this hurt." He mentioned before Rey kicks him in the back as he falls on top of her but not too hard. 

"You see? He took a hit for her." JBL praised.

"Dean needs to keep things PG." Cole teased as Dean was hovering over her in an intimate position. 

He got up and helped her up. "You okay? I didn't hurt you, did I?"

Luckily she felt no pain in her ribs and that was a good sign "No pain." She smiled at him but then saw Rey running towards them again. 

Dean decided to gently push her out of the way and got kicked down. Rey slides out of the ring and hits him with a splash before throwing him back in the ring.

Later on in the match, Jimmy Uso gets a tag from his brother and begins to take control of The Shield. Ambrose was leaning on the bottom turnbuckle as Jimmy yelled 'Uce!' and the crowd replied to his chant. Morgan decided to yell 'No!' while the crowd replied to his chant. Jimmy runs and hits Dean with a running hip attack and gets on the top rope. 

"Uh oh, we're about to have ourselves a flying Uso!" JBL exclaimed. 

Seth gets kicked in the face by Jimmy and he falls off the apron. Ambrose takes advantage of the distraction and makes Jimmy fall off the ropes. The Shield start to take control of him while the crowd was chanting 'Uso' loudly. 

"Put him away boys, put him away," Seth said as Dean tagged in Roman. 

They throw Jimmy to the ropes but Roman gets kicked by him while Dean gets thrown out of the ring. Jimmy plants Roman with a DDT and the crowd gets hyped. Roman tags in Seth and he runs and hits Jey off the apron. He goes to hit Jimmy with a splash but nobody is home as Rey gets the tag. Rey starts doing his signature moves and pins him after he hits Seth with a move off the top rope. 

"Shield are gonna lose here-oh and Ambrose saves the match up," Cole said as Dean broke the pin. 

One of the Usos gets in the ring and hits him with a kick in the face. The Uso taunts Dean and turns around, only to be speared by Roman. 

Morgan shook her head. "This is why you should watch your back! Nobody listens to me these days. I'm trying to help you out here." She said, thinking that she was trying to warn someone not to open a door in a scary movie. 

Roman turns his attention to Rey who is at the turnbuckle. He runs to him but stops himself by grabbing the ropes as Rey moves out of the way. He puts Rey in a powerbomb position but gets thrown out of the ring by him. Rey gets on the ropes and hits Seth with a hurricanrana to put him in the 619 position. 

"Who are you gonna call!?" JBL shouted.

"619!" Cole answered as Rey hit the 619 and a splash off the top rope to win the match. 

Morgan tweets 'Even though we lost, we had an awesome entrance. #ArmyTanksRule'

'Later'

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome, Morgan!" Justin announced as the crowd cheered

"She's back!" JBL happily said as she walked down the ramp. She tags some hands and heads to ringside where the commentators are. "How are you?"

"I'm doing awesome. I can't wait to watch these divas go at it." She said as saw Tamina in the ring along with the Total Divas, AJ, Alicia, Kaitlyn, Rosa and Aksana.

"It's nice of you to join us Morgan," Cole said.

"Thanks for having us." she grinned.

"Us?"

"Yep." A raspy voice said behind him as he jumped and turned around.

"Dean? Why are you out here?" Cole exclaimed as he had a headset on and sat next to Morgan. 

Ambrose gives her a quick kiss and turns to Cole.

"I love this couple..." JBL said.

"Tamina and I need to have a little talk once she wins or loses this match," Dean replied.

"A talk? That doesn't sound safe." Cole said as the bell rang

They watch as Eva Marie eliminates Jojo.

"Darn..." Morgan said. "I wonder how long it'll take for Eva to get eliminated."

"As long as she doesn't stare and drool at me, I'm good. She's not my type." Dean shrugged.

"Oh really? And what is your type, Dean?" she looked at him.

"My type...is called Morgan Lopez." 

"Ha, I'll accept that answer for now." 

"Do you and Eva still hate each other?" Cole asked.

"We're being cordial with each other. No more drama, thank goodness." Morgan replied. Tamina kept giving her dirty looks while she took control of Kaitlyn. "What? Is that supposed to scare me?"

"She's just jealous that you got a man like me." Dean boasted.

"Haha, I believe it," JBL replied.

Morgan watches as Tamina tries to help AJ eliminate some divas. 

"And there she goes. Tamina doing AJ's dirty work...again...this is getting old...Every single week it's the same. I'm convinced she's a puppet." She shook her head in annoyance. She started to see Kaitlyn going on a spearing spree with Eva, Aksana, and Alicia. "Jeesh, I'm so glad I'm not in that ring. I've had enough spears, this year."

"How have you and Kaitlyn been lately?" Cole asked.

"We haven't talked to each other ever since our argument. But, I can see her being herself again and getting out of AJ's little mind game since I see them wrestling in the ring now." Morgan replied.

"Do you still want to be friends with her?" JBL asked.

"Absolutely. I love the girl like a sister. We've been through a lot and we aren't going to let our fight get in the way of our friendship. We always do this stuff. We're giving each other space right now. Sooner or later, you'll see us together again. Don't worry, it's not the end."

"Well, it's the end for Kaitlyn because she just got eliminated," Cole said as Tamina helped AJ eliminate her.

"Why is she helping her in this match? Then what's gonna happen when they are the last two? Is Tamina going to eliminate herself for AJ? She's such a puppet..." she retorted. "For real for real."

As they continue to watch the battle royal, Cameron and Naomi get eliminated by the Bellas, and then Alicia gets eliminated by Natalya. Eva smacks Natalya's butt to get her attention and slaps her in the face.

"Yikes. Well, that was Eva's death wish. Bye! See you next week!" Morgan waved. "I have a strong feeling she's going be eliminated in a matter of seconds."

Natalya returns the slap and tries to eliminate Eva by picking her up and putting her onto the ropes. 

"No way! No freaking way." The Outspoken Diva said in shock as she watched Eva kick Natalya in the stomach to eliminate her.

"Wow..." Dean retorted.

"Natalya, eliminated," Cole exclaimed.

"Wow, I guess I underestimated Eva. She is holding her own. I'm impressed. I thought she'd be eliminated already. She proved me wrong." Morgan said. 

Tamina picks up Eva and tries to throw her out but Eva counters the attack and manages to throw her out as the crowd gets hype.

"Oh my gosh, Tamina got eliminated by Eva Marie!" Cole exclaimed.

"That's embarrassing..." Morgan laughed. 

Tamina shoots Eva a glare and stands up. She is about to leave ringside but turns her attention to Morgan.

"You think that's funny?" Tamina pointed to Morgan, near ringside.

The Outspoken Diva smirked. "Yep."

"I could break your face."

"Nope."

"Yes, I can."

"Nope."

"Yes, I can!"

"Nope."

"Morgan, you are so lucky you're not in this match."

"Oh, I'm lucky? I'm lucky?" she stood up.

"Uh oh," Cole said.

"You think that's a good idea?" JBL asked. "Bad ribs and all?"

"First of all, you're lucky! You're lucky, I'm not in that ring, trying to kick your head off and gut your eyes out!" The Philly Diva retorted.

Tamina marched over to her and was about to get in her face but Ambrose blocked her way. "Ah ta ta taaa. Let's not blow things out of proportion here. If you do, you're gonna get into some serious problems, sweetheart. Touch her and you'll regret it."

"You honestly think I'm scared of you?" Tamina snapped.

"You should be..." Ambrose growled, shooting her a murderous glare as she took a step back.

"You know what? It's okay." Morgan put one of her hands on his shoulder. "You know what, Tamina? If you are going to do something, just do it. I'm ready for ya." 

"She's leaving." JBL looked on as Tamina started backing away.

"I think you scared her, Dean." Morgan looked amused and he smirked. "Thanks for saving me the trouble. It would have been chaos if we decided to fight."

"Anything for you," Dean replied and hopped over the barricade but all of a sudden, Tamina started to walk back

"Wait, she's not done," JBL said.

"You think you're so tough with your boyfriend around?" Tamina slapped the headset off Morgan's head.

"Whoa!" JBL yelled loudly.

"Huh? You think you're tough?" Tamina pushed her back down her seat as the Philly Diva looked annoyed. 

Tamina smirked at her and started walking to the end of the ramp.

"Morgan, are you all right!?" Cole exclaimed.

Dean hopped back over the barricade, about to go after her but stopped once he glanced at his girlfriend. He watches as she starts laughing manically, slowly rolling her neck.

"I'm excited..." She wickedly grinned, running a hand through her hair. 

She stood up with a serious facial expression and began taking off the tape on her stomach as the crowd got hyped.

"Wait a minute, you're cleared!?" Cole exclaimed as she nodded.

"Got cleared after The Shield's match. And if you THINK I'm going to let her get away with that, you're wrong, my dear," she replied and put her hair up in a ponytail.

"Dean, aren't you going to stop her?" 

"Nah, I love it when she's mad," Ambrose smirked. "It's pretty hot if you asked me."

Morgan begins speed walking after Tamina. 

"Hey!" she yelled, making Tamina turn around.

Her eyes widen slightly as Morgan spears her to the ground and starts unloading on her.

"Here we go!" JBL exclaimed with the crowd cheering.

"All the frustration and anger that built up inside of Morgan is now coming out," Cole said. 

Morgan picks her up and starts striking her with elbows in the face but then Tamina grabs her by the neck and throws her to the apron and then to the barricade.

"Jeesh, Tamina!" Cole exclaimed.

"They want to kill each other!" JBL shouted as Morgan managed to fight back but then the refs ran down the ramp to try to separate them.

"All right, shows over." Dean took off his headset and grabbed Morgan off of Tamina while the refs held Tamina.

"Morgan! Morgan, I'm going to kill you!" Tamina yelled

"You're done! Done!" Morgan yelled back. "You and me, one on one!"

"You're on!"

Dean held Morgan from behind and whispered in her ear "You'll get her. Don't worry."

Morgan tweets 'TaminaSnuka You sure want me? #YouDontWannaGoToWarWithMe'

Tamina tweets 'WWEMorgan101 You made the biggest mistake of your life, putting your hands on me. I want you in the ring.'

'Okay. #TheWaitIsOver' Morgan replies.

Tamina replies 'Good. I get to hurt you. Badly. I can't wait.'

'Oh TaminaSnuka You just got me #Excited #LetsGoToWar'

Morgan then tweets 'It's official. TaminaSnuka and I are going to go at it on Raw. I'm #Healed #NewAndImproved. #ReadyToBelieve?'

Morgan also tweets 'I won't lose this battle against Tamina. #BelieveInMe'

'WWE Exclusive Video'

Roman sat on one of the backstage storage boxes, relaxing after his match and saw Morgan walking backstage with Natalya. 

"I still can't believe you and Tamina went at it. You sure you're up for it?" Natalya asked.

"Hell yeah, I'm ready to kick her ass. I can't wait for Monday. She is going to get it. She needs to know that her mouth of hers is going to get her in trouble." Morgan replied.

"I can say the same to you, Morgan."

"Touché." She chuckled. They see Roman sitting and Morgan grinned at him. "Hey, what's up Ramen noodles?"

Roman playfully glared at her while Natalya giggled and walked away. "Don't call me that."

"Okay, can I call you Roman noodles?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No. Don't call me that or else."

"Or else what? What are you gonna do? Spear me?" They chuckled at their inside joke. She sat next to him and laid her head on his shoulder. She sighed. "I'm tired."

"Heh, I bet. I saw you out there."

"Ha. There's a Brie Mode, and now there's a Harley Mode in the WWE. Things are going to get interesting." She chuckled and closed her eyes.

He looked down at her. "You know, I'm still sorry about that spear."

"Roman, I thought we've been over this. It was an accident. I forgive you." She replied, opening her eyes while he leaned his head on top of hers. 

"I just feel like I should make it up to you."

"You already did. Your promise and when you support me." She removed her head from his shoulder and they looked into each other's eyes. "You're always there for me and it just makes me happy that I know someone like you. I know we had our bad times when I wasn't a part of The Shield but we have a bond that no one else has. I got a special bond with Dean, I got a special bond with Seth and I got a special bond with you. All different and I cherish them all. Just like I cherish you. Don't think for a second I'm angry at you for that accident."

"Morgan..." He trailed off, at a loss for words and she held his hand.

"Okay? I don't want this to get in the way of what we have. Now, can we please get past the apologies and move forward?"

He smiled at her. "All right."

"Great. Now, I need to vent. And you're the man I need right now." She stood up and stood in front of him.

"I'm all ears."

She sighed and started pacing around. "Tamina...I just want to rip her hair out and drag her all over the arena. She loves hurting people, huh? Well, let's see how she likes it when I hurt her! She always does this. Always wants to get the last laugh, I don't think so! No! No! And no! Morgan gets the last laugh, it's not the other way around honey." She vented as Roman looked amused and nodded in agreement.

"She wants to give me cheap shots? When I wasn't even ready? Put her hands on me? Touch me? After she backed off because of Dean? Well, you know what? I'll give her a cheap shot to the head!" She started breathing heavily as she paced back and forth. "I want her head on a plate!"

She threw a punch and it hit Roman in the face. "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry! Roman, are you okay!? Ah, friggin' A!" She put her hands over her mouth. She moved the hair from his face and touched his cheek while he chuckled. 

"At least it wasn't a kick with heels along with a low blow," he replied

She sighed out of relief and released him but he grabbed her hips and pulled her back to him. 

"Morgan. Save the violence till you get in the ring. Let all the emotion out in the ring. She wants a reaction out of you but can't back it up when you strike. Don't let her get in your head. Okay?"

The Outspoken Diva nodded, taking his advice. "You're right."

"Good. You need backup?"

"Actually, could you tell Seth and Dean I want to be alone when I wrestle her? This is something I need to do on my own."

He released her hips. "Okay."

"Great! Thanks, Romey, you're the best." She hugged him.

"Romey, huh?" He was amused as she released him.

"Can I call you that? Please? With a grape on top?"

"All right, I'll accept the nickname. Just don't say it in front of everyone else."

"No promises."

"Morgan..." He narrowed his eyes at her and stood up as she laughed.

"Okay! Okay. Well, I should be going. Pound it." She put her fist out. Roman grinned and pounded her fist. "Wait, make it explode." 

They pounded their fists and then opened them. 

"Nice. See you later." She kissed his cheek and walked away

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 48- Don't Steal The Beef!

Chapter Summary: For episodes 7 and 8 of King of Masked Singer, Jen goes on the show as a guest judge, shocked to see Taeil revealed and fangirls over Ailee. BTS are back on Weekly Idol. Jennie watches a video message that an idol made on the show as she looks forward to making another friend.

Words: 5,000+

------ At the Ilsan MBC Dream Center, Jennie sat with the other guests, wearing white high waisted jeans, a white top, a black beanie with her curly hair down and one of many favorite pairs of Nike sneakers. She was elated that she was asked to join these two episodes of King of Masked Singer.

The announcer opened up the show, recapping what happened in the previous episode.

“Let’s enter the first gate to see who’s the 4th generation of the Mask King. We’ll begin the duet singing!”

Before the show, Jennie had talked with the other judges, and they were pleasantly surprised that she wasn’t singing on the show and decided to be a judge instead. She had told them that she would love to sing on the show once she improves her vocal skills and to keep their ears open because she could be on the show at any time.

She was looking forward to blowing viewers away once her vocal skills improved. She enjoyed shows like this, where all that people would focus on is the vocals, not the looks. 

She and the rest of the judges watched the first competition, which was between high frequency pair antennas and daddy cheer up.

Jennie, being a harmony expert when it came to her vocals, paid close attention to the two competitors as they sang The Blue in You. She had no idea who was who and couldn’t give any guesses to the judges as they assumed the man was tall and might be PSY under the mask.

As soon as she heard the woman sing, under her pink mask, Jennie felt her stomach drop. 

That voice soundly painfully familiar.

Someone that she’s frequently listened to over the years. But she might be wrong and didn’t want to assume right away. But something in her body was telling her that the person that she was thinking of was the person under that mask. And if this is the person that she’s thinking of, then she has no idea how she will react when she might be able to see her face.

“Jennie, have any idea who any of them are?” Bong Sun asked.

“Something in me is telling me that I’ve heard the woman's voice before. But I dunno if I want to make a guess, yet.” She answered as she continued to listen to the vocals. 

‘I think I know who that is...and if this is her, I think I’m going to pass out.’ Jennie thought as her butterflies got even worse. 

She was not ready to be in the presence of this woman if this was who she thought she was.

This could be the woman she’s thinking about because Jennie has watched a lot of music shows this woman has been on and knows how she handles her microphone and how she sounds. As she continued to listen to her powerful but controlling pitches when she sang, Jennie decided to go with her gut.

‘This has to be Ailee.’ She thought to herself as she exhaled and tried to calm herself down.

After their performance, and sharing a few laughs when the man playfully pushed the pink antenna woman, the judges talk about how good their voices are together.

“The harmony was A-1! Loved it, it’s so nice.” Jennie added.

“One of the great duet songs in Korea. Kim Hyun Cheol and Lee So Ra’s. Both of them sang in a different way, showing different feelings. Now, this is the time for the judges to do the voting. Number one is High Frequency Pair Antennas. Number two is Daddy, cheer up! Please vote for the voice that you’d like to listen to again in the next round!” The announcer said.

Jennie automatically pressed number one to vote for High Frequency Pair antennas. She was eager to listen to more.

Once it was revealed that high frequency pair antennas was the winner with the result of 54 vs 45 votes, Jennie was thrilled that she was still in the competition.

“I’m so happy. I will show you a better stage at the next round.” High frequency pair antennas said. 

Her voice was on a high pitch to avoid revealing her real voice.

For the next round, Jennie eagerly watched as Hardware store boss Kim walked onto the stage. 

“I like that mask.” She commented.

“I agree, he’s cool.” One of the judges remarked.

The next contestant was named SangAmDong whistle. The judges point out that the first guy has long hair. Jennie noticed how shorter SangAmDong whistle was and liked his outfit choice because it reminded her of the movie Kill Bill.

The one behind the mask was none other than Taeil, who had a hidden smile on his face, thanks to his mask as he saw his friend being a judge for the show. He was happy to see Jennie and wondered if she’d be able to recognize him. 

They sang together back at the MAMA Awards, last year. 

Will she remember how he sounds?

The judges eagerly listened to the two contestants sing Only Feeling you, as Jennie swayed side to side in her seat to the beat while watching the contestants dance.

“The one in yellow looks so cute.” She murmured. 

As she listened, she placed her hand over her heart when she heard Whistle’s voice and strong vocals. Their voices blended so well together. This would be a tough choice to vote for.

“That harmony! My ears are in love!” She said as she continued to watch them perform.

After they were finished, the judges discussed how confused they were about who they thought was who. When the voting started, Jennie decided to vote for number 2, which was the whistle.

“Why did I think of Kill Bill?” She asked herself as SangAmDong Whistle introduced himself and talked about his love for Bruce Lee. 

So, that’s why he wore his outfit.

“Why do I keep on thinking that you are Nam Chang hee?” One of the judges asked as some of the other judges agreed. “You are a gagman, right?”

A brief pause before Whistle asked in confusion, “What?” as everyone laughed.

The judges assumed that the one in the yellow was used to performing and had a nice voice, and requested him to play with his nunchucks. Everyone laughed at his efforts. 

The two contestants were requested to sing briefly to a song for a short duration of their real voices. They heard the first contestant but when it came to SangAmDong Whistle, it sounded like he faked a voice to keep his identity withheld, causing everyone to laugh.

“What!?” Jennie laughed.

“What was that? Was that your real voice? Whistle!” One of the judges called him out, causing everyone to bust out in laughter again.

After the banter, they reveal the results. They said that the celeb judges were all the same and it looked like the votes were in favor of Whistle. 34 votes to 65. 

Jennie laughed out loud as his celebratory dance. “He’s so adorable!”

For the next set of filming, for the first stage of the second round, High frequency pair antennas came on stage. The judges start discussing how high her heels are and that she takes good care of her body. She chose to sing for her solo stage, for you, as Jennie and the rest of the judges watched closely.

There was something about her voice that made Jennie start to tear up.

There was no mistake about it.

This woman was her favorite singer.

It had to be Ailee.

She studied so much about Ailee, that she had a strong feeling it was her, from her hand motions and the tone of her voice. Jen had a bright smile on her face, as judges started to notice that she may know who it was. She tried her best not to freak out, but she ended up doing so, silently.

With her eyes closed, Jennie focused on the voice, and once she sang that high note, it was no mistake that this was Ailee.

Sang Am Dong whistle was next for his solo stage, as Jennie couldn’t help but focus on his walk.

“I’ve seen someone walk like this before, but I just can’t remember...” She murmured.

Sang Am Dong had decided to sing Doll.

Once the voting began, Jennie had decided to vote for high frequency pair antennas despite loving both of them. She wanted to say that it was Ailee but decided to stay silent because she was so tongue-tied and nervous. But a judge did reveal that she couldn’t hide her originality and that it was Ailee.

When asked about Sang Am Dong, Jennie voiced her opinion, “You sound experienced, I have no idea who you are. You’re definitely an idol.”

“You know me.” Sang Am Dong replied.

“I do?!” She asked in surprise, causing the judges to wonder. “I only know a select few idols so far. Can you give me a hint?” She requested but he playfully refused her offer.

Once they announced the winner of the third round, which was paired antennas, Sang Am Dong took off his mask. After he put on his glasses, he turned around to reveal his face to the audience.

It was Taeil from Block B.

Jennie dropped her jaw and stood up, while the audience, especially the women cheered. “No-way!”

Taeil smiled at her and nodded. “Way.”

“Hold up! There is no way!” She exclaimed while applauding. 

How could she miss how his voice sounded if they sang together at the Mama Awards?

For the third round, Paired antennas performed again, as she sang Bruise. Jennie jammed out in her seat as she listened to Ailee sing. Her voice sounded more like Ailee, as she went all out for this performance. And Jen was loving every second of it.

“Yassss! WOO!” Jennie stood up and applauded after she ended the song with a high note.

Once CBR Cleopatra and Paired antennas were on stage together to see who would be in the final round, it was declared that Cleopatra won the most votes and became the nominee of the fourth generation of mask king. The votes were 41 to 58.

“Sadly, you are eliminated.” The host told paired antennas. “We will now reveal the identity of paired antennas who’s sadly eliminated.”

Once she took off the mask, Jennie couldn’t help but freak out a little as she saw that it was exactly Ailee in the flesh

“Korea’s best skilled singer! Ailee!”

“Thank you!” She happily laughed and bowed, fixing her hair. She was even hugged by Cleopatra.

“She received a lot of love and voting. Are you disappointed?” The host asked

“I thought that I got figured out too quickly. I have expected that Hyun Do oppa will figure me out immediately. Because we did several recordings together. I’ve tried my best to hide it but he’s like a ghost. But since I can show all the songs which I’ve prepared, I’m really thankful!” She responded with a bright smile.

‘This woman isn’t real. She is so damn precious, I swear’ Jennie freaked out in her head. 

She wished that she could’ve spoken up and said something but her butterflies got to her and she was just too nervous and stunned that she was here.

After the show, Jennie managed to catch Taeil backstage, giving him a big hug. She expressed how much she missed him and how impressed she was with his singing.

“You know, you should be on the show.” He suggested.

“I want to. But I want to be on the show when my singing improves. I’ll get there. And I’d love to be able to make my parents cry when I sing. I always dreamed of that. That’s one of my goals. I dunno when I’ll accomplish it but if I could do that, I’ll feel like I can do anything. Ugh, I’m just upset I couldn’t see Ailee. But I was over there all awkward and nervous, I want to be cool and calm when I meet her.”

Taeil chuckled. “Good things happen to those who wait. Who knows, there may even be a better opportunity to meet her instead of backstage at this show. Don’t beat yourself up. You’ll meet her.”

“That makes me look forward to the future.”

Taking a selfie with him, she posts on Twitter, ‘I-MISSED-THIS-GUY! #HaveANiceDay #AllMyPartyPeopleReady!’

“Weekly idol!” Doni and Coni announced

“The people who are here to visit Weekly Idol this week came here once previously,” Doni said.

“They are back here again after 1 year and two months.” Coni added. “This is late, but we didn’t know they would do so well. But now, they are doing really well. They are now our family!”

“They are suddenly our family?” Doni laughed

“They need to become our family. And looking at their choreography this time, I feel it once again that these kids are really doing well.”

BTS watched backstage as the hosts bickered back and forth.

“Weekly Idol needs BTS! Our BTS!” Doni announced as they walked out and did their greeting.

“Since you guys are doing well, why is Rap Monster wearing his home wear.” Doni pointed out to his outfit which consisted of a pink shirt and camo pants, causing the studio to laugh. “Rapmon, whose fashion is that?”

“I tried a variety.” The leader replied.

“Why did you try?”

“I got criticized a lot.”

“Your attempt...failed!” Coni blasted him. “I think your original style will be better.”

When asked about their album, Rap Monster explained it. He was teased that he had an uneasiness with his fashion and that he hid his face with his cap, causing laughter among the members.

After talking, the show proceeded with Random Dance Play, for the second time. Jimin confidently said that he wouldn’t be easy to catch if he made any mistakes because he practiced. The hosts also told them that they would buy them anything they wanted to eat, only if they succeeded on the first try.

Once the music came on to play the beginning of I Need U, the members scrambled onto the floor, for their beginning pose. The song skipped to the chorus as the members hurried to their positions. Jimin ran to the front but started to become unstable, looking back to make sure he

was making the right moves. The hosts caught him but decided to let him go this time.

The chorus of Boy In Luv came on, as Jennie began to look puzzled as to where she was supposed to be, along with some of the other members. She tried her best not to make it so obvious as she stood in the back, looking around to figure out what dance moves to do because it had been so long since they performed this song.

‘Goodbye, shaved ice.’

“Can we get like, one more try?” Jennie laughed as the members tried to protest with Coni about the number of mistakes they had made. Doni decided to let BTS have one more chance, to show good teamwork, boosting their spirits.

I Need U came back on towards the beginning as Jennie felt V’s pain with having Hobi sit on him. But once they restarted the song in the same section, V had to go back to the floor with Hobi on his back. He ended up struggling to sit up this time and Hobi fell back.

“Ahhhhhhhh!” Doni and Coni yelled.

“Why are you like this?” Rapmon asked.

Jennie laughed and grabbed V’s hand to help him up. “It’s okay, don’t worry. You did well.”

“You guys keep making mistakes during the first part. Shall we exclude the two of them?” Doni asked, gesturing to V and J-Hope.

“Ah, please!” V begged

“The two of us?” J-Hope asked.

“Shall we try with the six of you?” Doni suggested

“But I’m the choreography leader though,” J-Hope informed, which led him to have the members try the dance without him.

“To make the person who made a mistake focus, let’s go for a toy hammer as a punishment.” Doni requested.

As the members danced again with synchronized dance steps, J-Hope noticed that Jimin had made a mistake during Boy In Luv.

“Jimin, couldn’t find his spot.” J-Hope pulled him away from the others.

Coni received the toy hammer and handed it to J-Hope so he could do the honors. Jimin bent down while Hobi smacked the hammer on top of his head, causing him to let out a soft groan, rubbing it in pain. He slowly went down to the floor as the hosts tried to see if he was okay.

“Shame on you, J-Hope. Mm-mm-mm.” Jennie shook her head.

For the next segment, the members and hosts are seated for the Idol King Selection Competition. Jennie sat in between Rapmon and Jimin, for the segment. The hosts decided that they would give the group Korean beef, which boosted their mood, but they warned them that not everyone could eat, and only the person who won the game would get the beef.

“It’s never that easy, is it?” Jen sighed.

Since their official grill meat master retired, they have BTS’ manager, Sejin, to take the empty position as they watch him come out, and the members laughed and applauded.

“When do you feel the happiest being BTS’ manager?” Coni asked him

“When they cinched 1st place.” He responded, as the members happily grinned and applauded.

“Here is the first game. Unpretty Dance King!”

‘The person who is able to dance excitingly will become King or Queen.’

V was first as he stood up while Sexyback came on. The members tried not to laugh as they watched him.

“I’m weak!” Jennie covered her mouth as she watched him dance sexily by moving his hips to the beat.

The next song was for Suga and Jennie tried hard not to laugh as everyone watched him close his eyes and body roll slowly. But then he started to go down, performing the I Need U body roll, which caused Doni to hit the xylophone.

“Your expression is not good,” Doni declared. “And most importantly, you cannot recycle your own dance moves. You recycled I Need U dance moves, right?”

“That’s right,” Suga answered.

“You can’t do that. Let’s have Suga dance again. Please give us the music.”

Once the song came back on, Suga went down on the floor, to grind but was instantly stopped once again.

“Oh no!” Miss Bangtan covered her mouth.

‘Dirty dance not allowed’

“What is allowed then?” Suga exclaimed as he got back to his seat.

“No American dance!” Coni warned as he was eliminated from getting the beef.

Next was Jin, who exhaled and stood up. Once the music started, he began nodding to the beat but was stopped because he was just listening to the music and not dancing. Once the music started back up again, Jen cackled when he dropped to his knees, headbanging to the beat, before bouncing around.

“We have never seen this before!” Coni said with praise.

“You kneeled down on your knees!” Doni remarked in amazement.

“I am this team’s main dancer,” Jin said confidently, catching Doni’s heart and is now in first place for the beef.

Next up was Jungkook, who had to dance to some electronic music. The members continued their chorus of laughter as he randomly moved around, loosely in a joint dance.

‘Shoulder bones which control the rhythm.’

But once he spun on his back on the floor, the hosts yelled in surprise, causing him to take the first place spot. “He really became one with the music.” Doni praised. “Next up, our pink boy.”

As soon as Chris Brown’s Turn Up The Music came on, Rapmon danced frivolously, causing him to be stopped, twice. The third time, the members couldn’t stop giggling and Rapmon received the nickname, Pink Soul.

“Miss Bangtan, you’re up next!” Doni announced as she stood up.

“Let’s do this!” She said with confidence.

An instrumental of Jennifer Lopez’s Get Right came on and she immediately started dancing freely. Then she dropped down into a split, taking the hosts off guard as she heard the three dings, meaning that she was now in first place.

“Ayeeee!” She celebrated after standing up and went back to her seat.

“That took me off guard. I thought she hurt herself.” Coni exclaimed.

“She is always full of surprises.” Doni looked on.

Jimin was next but ended up using too much of his waist for a children's program as Doni called him out on it. Lastly was Hobi, who effectively started dancing, as his mic fell off. Doni even started dancing with him and declaring Hobi the winner while the members applauded. 

J-Hope received the crown and the beef. But out of nowhere, Jennie decided to swipe a piece of beef from Hobi.

“Ahhhhh!” Doni and Coni yelled, pointing her out as she looked around, wondering what was wrong. “You stole the beef!”

“I took one!”

“Punishment!” Doni yelled as he walked up to her, making her get out of her seat. The members laughed as she complained

“I just wanted one bite!”

“No excuses! Punishment!” Coni shouted. “Let’s make her dance for five minutes to various songs. And if it’s not to our liking, she’ll have to do it all over again.”

“Are you serious?” Jennie groaned.

“Jennie is the boy group expert. She knows a bunch of their dances.” Jin called out.

“Is that so? Show us!” Coni announced.

“Ah, it’s a bit embarrassing.” She grinned nervously.

“I want to be entertained or there will be consequences.”

“Oh boy.”

“You got this Jen!” Jimin cheered.

“All this over beef?” She shook her head. Having no choice, she got in position.

“You familiar with Monsta X?” Doni asked

“I’m high key one of their biggest fans.” She answered happily.

“Then we’ll start with trespass. Get in position! I want to see you dance like you’re a part of their group!”

Kneeling on the floor, she waited until the music came on. Her facial expression changed into a serious one as she moved side to side with the beat. Once the chorus came on, she performed the movements sharply and with aggression, just like Monsta X does.

Impressed, Coni requested to go to the next song.

‘Oh, she wants me! Oh, she’s got me!’

The chorus of EXO’s overdose came on as she dropped to the floor, smoothly kicking out from side to side. The members looked on in awe as they watched her dance.

‘The members are charmed’

The next song that came up was the chorus of GOT7's A.

“Did you see how big her smile got when GOT7 came on!?” Doni pointed out. “What do you think of that BTS?”

“Is there something we should know?” Rapmon questioned with fake anger, crossing his arms.

“What’s going on Jennie?!” V called her out with the studio laughing at their banter.

“I’m smiling because of the mood of the song! Stop distracting me!” She tried to stay focused.

“LIES!” J-Hope yelled.

As she danced to various songs, the last one was GOT7's Stop Stop It as another smile came across her face.

“How come she smiles for GOT7!?” Jimin exclaimed with a giggle.

“Somethings up!” Jin pointed out while Jen happily lip-synced the song while dancing.

“Well done!” Doni and Coni shouted as she sighed out of relief and bowed. She was applauded by the studio for her efforts.

“I am very proud to see her focused and on point with the dances. But Jennie, how come you don’t act this enthusiastic when we do our dances?” J-Hope asked, feeling jealous as everyone laughed. 

“I do!” She disagreed. “I do fangirl over other groups in my special way, which is learning their choreography in my spare time.”

“Any particular group,” Coni questioned. 

The Bangtan Boys stared at her, hard, as she laughed nervously at being put on the spot.

“There IS,” Jungkook yelled.

“Spill it!” Jimin shouted.

“...7...” She murmured.

“What was that?” Coni asked.

“GOT7.” She answered.

“GOT7!?” J-Hope’s jaw dropped, as the members freaked out.

“Watch GOT7 become GOT8, now.” Jin joked.

“I just really like their style and work ethic. I wouldn’t mind collabing with others. If BTS and GOT7 could collaborate, that’d be awesome.” She smiled at the camera

“Since we are on this subject, who else do you want to collab? And then I want the rest of the members to answer.” Doni requested.

“A lot of people and the list is growing. To name a few, I’d like to collab with Ailee, Zico, CL and Hyuna. I’m nowhere near their level yet. But I hope to work very hard to push for a collab with one of them one day and earn the opportunity. I have a long way to go.”

For the next round, called Cringey acting King. Coni revealed that they managed to get hold of BTS’ special video clips. As soon as they showed Jungkook’s video, V screamed and jumped out of his seat, while the others cringed.

“I knew this would surface sooner or later.” Rap Monster sighed while Jennie snickered at the members freaking out. “I said it will appear one day.”

“I protested strongly against it!” Suga got out of his seat

They were showing clips of the guys’ videos they made for a Japanese game they filmed over a year ago. Jennie wasn’t a part of it, but she was amused at how much they were panicking over it.

“This is the first time I’ve seen these. Hahah, why does their hair remind me of Edward Cullen? I’m cringing!” She looked on.

Those hairstyles were awful to her. Who greenlit this?

Suga let out a yell of despair as he watched his clip, falling down on his knees.

For this round, they requested that every member act with cringeworthy lines. The person who made Doni and Coni have the most goosebumps, wins. When they revealed Rap Monster’s lines, he couldn’t stop cringing as he placed his head down, jumping up and down in his seat.

‘It’s the first time...that I like someone so much. Even if the world is filled with enemies, we will still protect the woman we love. Even so, you’re my woman.’

“Jennie, would this statement woo you?” Doni asked.

“No, not even close.” She shook her head.

Rap Monster was the first to go as he made eye contact with the camera. 

“It’s the first time...” He started off but got stopped when Doni banged on the xylophone.

“It is too light,” Coni said.

“Do it like the Japanese version, a little stronger,” Doni added.

The leader started again, “It’s the first time...that I like someone so much. Even if the world is filled with enemies. We will still protect the woman we love. Even so, you, are my woman.” He finished while Suga yelled in disgust.

Next up was V, who turned in his seat to yell, “Don’t appear in my dreams! Because I will keep thinking about you...” he trailed off because he kept noticing everyone laughing.

“How was that, Jennie?” Doni asked.

“I’m...a little scared.” She answered, earning laughter from everyone in the studio

The hosts requested that Rap Monster try out the line. “Don’t make me say this twice. I...even if I hate you, I still like you.” He winked.

“I just wanna punch him.” Jen made a fist, bewildered at how cringeworthy he sounded.

“You can rely on me at times. Do you think you can escape from me? I’m going to keep liking you.” Jungkook was the next one to go.

“Are you a Japanese?” Doni asked the Golden Maknae, as he and Coni mocked his confession, but praised him for his acting. 

Rapmon was still in first place while J-Hope was the next one to go. He got into character, blowing everyone away with his acting skills, “You...can just look at me only. When I look at your smiling face, I become happier.”

Jennie couldn’t help but stiff a laugh as she tried to hold it in, watching him.

“Is it because I like you?” J-Hope went on, as Rapmon stomped his feet and Suga kneeled from his seat, laughing silently. “It doesn’t matter! Isn’t it? I lost...because I fell for you.” He dramatically said with everyone yelling in disgust once more.

Jimin was next, as he looked at the camera seriously and sighed, but then he started laughing because he was dragging it. 

He was praised for his sigh and tried it again. “No matter what happens, I’ll be right by your side...don’t show such expression to other people other than me. Don’t MIA from me.”

Rap Monster was announced the winner and received a crown, while he ate Korean beef. 

“How is it?” Coni asked

“Now, I won’t make you lonely anymore.” Rapmon went back into his acting persona, causing everyone to groan. “If you like other guys, I won’t forgive you.” He picked up a piece of pork, about to place it in his mouth but stopped.

“Stop!” Coni yelled.

“Just eat it, now!” Doni yelled

“EAT!” Jennie shouted as the members continued to laugh. “Weird!”

The last round was called King of Destruction. The person who tears off the most number of pages from a calendar will win. 

The staff brought out a table with eight calendars. Jennie grabbed hers and sat on the floor with Suga, Tae and Jimin.

“3...2...1...go!” The hosts announced as the eight members began tearing away at the calendars. 

Papers were flying all over the place, as the hosts laughed.

“Ahhhhh!” Hobi slammed his calendar on the floor, giving up. 

Exhausted, the members reveal their dates. Jin got up to July 31, Jennie got up to August 1, Jungkook came up to August 4, V went up to August 17, Jimin had January 2, Rapmon didn’t tear in order and if he did, he would have gotten September 2, so V was the winner of the round.

“Okay, V, we will give you a chance to share it with one person.” Doni allowed.

V smiled directly at Jennie and walked over to her. Grabbing her hand, he made her get out of her seat and escorted her to the table. The members complained, calling her out and that she shouldn’t get any meat because she stole a piece of Hobi’s beef from before.

“Y'all suck, I hope you know that. I’ll remember that when you want me to bake for you. I’ll give them all to V, now.” She got back in her seat, with the members contemplating on their choice for calling her out if it meant they couldn’t eat her baking.

“Lastly, before we get into the closing segment, Jennie, you have a video message,” Coni informed her, as her ears perked up.

“I do? This is a surprise. Who is it from?”

“A member of a new girl group that was on the show earlier this year,” Doni explained while they show the video.

There was CLC sitting with Doni and Coni, and Yeeun, who so happened to be a part of Jungkook and Jennie’s grade a SOPA, was the one who sent a message.

Yeeun was asked if there was any group member she would like to meet. “I would like to meet Bangtan Sonyeondan's Jennie. She seems like a very sweet person. And I admire her dancing. We go to SOPA together, but I never approached her. Sometimes, I get a little shy.” She giggled.

“Why don’t you send her a greeting,” Doni suggested.

Yeeun looked at the screen and smiled, waving at the camera. “Hello, Jennie! This is Yeeun from CLC. You dance and sing so well. I hope to work just as hard as you. I would like to be friends with you. Let’s hang out sometime! Fighting!”

As Jennie watched, she giggled. “She’s so cute, that makes me feel really good about myself that she wants to meet me.”

“Do you have a response?” Coni asked.

Turning to the camera, Jennie grinned. “Girl! Hit me up, and let’s hang out! We’ll see each other when school starts again. And don’t be shy! I’m looking forward to meeting you! Eat well and stay well rested! And FYI, I love CLC’s music!”
