Chapter 9

RAW

"Someone is getting into the Christmas spirit," Seth says when I walk out of the locker room. I smile and drape my arms over his shoulders.

"More than I can say for you, Grinch."

He puts a hand to his chest in mock hurt. "I happen to like my black and gold."

"Sure, if you wanna look like a Power Ranger. And speaking of Christmas...what did you get me?"

He smirks, picking my arms off of his shoulders and wagging his finger at me. "Now Ash, you know, people wrap gifts for a reason."

"I know, but I'm so excited, and this is our first Christmas together." A depressing thought washes over me. "What if something goes wrong?"

"Nothing's going to go wrong." He kisses me on the forehead. "I promise."

"Oh. Did I interrupt something?" I turn my head to see Paige. I try not to scowl as I answer her.

"Yeah, actually you did, and that isn't even your first strike."

"Ash," Seth says, in a warning tone.

Paige smirks. "Well, Asher I'm sorry, but I have to walk, it's how I get places. And besides, we can't all float around without a care in the world. See you in the ring," she says, referring to our tag match against the Bellas. She walks by me, flipping her hair in my face. I make a move to grab her by it and yank her to the ground, but Seth stops me.

"Don't do it. It's what she wants."

After a second, I take a deep breath and nod.

Don't worry Paige. I would be getting the last laugh tonight.

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

I watched from the apron, unimpressed, as Paige hit Nikki with clothesline after clothesline. If you asked me she could've improved them.

As she started to pick up Nikki and set her up for the Rampaige, she backed up against the ropes. I reached out my hand and hit her on the shoulder.

"Tag," The ref tells Paige.

"Asher getting a little payback from what happened on SmackDown," Cole says. Paige drops Nikki, an exasperated look on her face as she gets out of the ring. I got in the ring and waved at her with a sly smirk on my face.

Two could play your game, Paige.

I locked in my MDP submission hold and Nikki tapped out seconds later.

The ref raised both our hands as Jojo announced us as the winners. When he let go and handed Paige her title, she just looked at me.

I tilted my head sideways. "What's wrong Paige? Never heard of 'getting even'?" I walk past her, bumping my shoulder into hers on my way out of the ring. I skip up the ramp, feeling pretty ecstatic because that wouldn't be my only payback.
