The Hounds of Justice

20. Smackdown

Kayla Reigns
At Smackdown

I pace the hallway behind the area the producers have set up. Randy is sitting on the floor, along the wall. He had his cross over match earlier and my segment is up next.

"You sure it was him?" I ask, stopping pacing.

"Yes, I would recognize a face I just beat the shit out of." He says standing up and walking over to me. "Now calm down, babe." He grabs my shoulders and pulls me into a hug.

I hear a scoff. I pull back from Randy and look over his shoulder, Roman and Dean in their ring gear. They weren't scheduled to come to Smackdown.

"What are you two doing here?" I say giving them quick hugs.

"What, did you think we were going to let you go out there alone?" Roman says nodding to Randy.

"You called them!" I exclaim turning to Randy and pulling him into a hug. I hear Dean giggle like a little girl. "Thank you, my King." I whisper into his chest.

"Kayla! Show time!" One of the producers yells.

I grab my belt off the floor and wrap it around my waist. I turn so my back is to Randy and he snaps the belt into place. I past all the producers and through the curtain.

Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta. SHIELD!

The crowd erupts as we walk out. I bring the mic up to my mouth to speak but then put it down. Naomi stands center ring, the Smackdown Women's Championship around her waist. I nod to Roman and Dean and they walk down the ramp, past the ring, to the announcer tables. They climb on top of the announcer tables and yell into the crowd, paying no attention to Naomi, who is yelling at them to leave.

"I thought it was time for a good 'ole Smackdown invasion. So! Here I am!" I explain once the crowd calms down. "Oh, and Naomi, I'm coming for you." I growl before dropping the mic and running down to the ring.

I climb onto the top rope and raise my belt above my head. I scan the front rows for Alex, I spot him in the front row right behind the announcers table.

"Kayla, I don't know how things are run on Raw, but here on Smackdown not just anyone demands a match with the champ. But since you are the Raw Women's Champion I'll give you a match." Naomi reaches her hand out to me, I hop off the top turnbuckle and shake her hand. After all she is married to my cousin.

The ref takes both of our belts and motions for the bell. Naomi swiftly runs at me and I pick her up for a Samoan Drop. Both of us hop right back to our feet. We lock up and struggle for control. I over power her into a side headlock and force her to the mat. We roll through three covers in a row before I role out of the ring and walk over to Roman and Dean.

Naomi stays in the ring, allowing the ref to start the 10 count. A particular voice in the crowd grabs my attention. I snap my head to Alex, staring him dead in the eyes as he continues to chant, "slut". I growl as I walk closer to Alex, other people have started chanting along with him. I recognize the girl next to him, Maddie. As I stalk closer to them Roman grabs me and pulls me back to the ring, I slip back in the ring right before the ref says ten.

Shaking myself off I face Naomi again. I motion for her to bring it on as the slut chants get louder. Out of the corner of my eye I see Dean getting in Alex's face. I throw Naomi towards the corner but she does a baseball slide under the bottom rope. She walks to between the announcers table and the ring, pausing for a breath. I run backwards and bounce off the ropes, running forwards I flip over the top rope and land right on Naomi. I stumble to my feet and go to grab Dean, who is now yelling at Alex.

As I get to them Alex hits Dean with a right hook. Roman runs forwards and grabs Dean to stop him form killing Alex. Security and I both run for Alex, but I get there first. I slam into him with my forearm. Maddie pushes between us, I slam my other arm into her. I start to climb over the barrier when Naomi and security grab me. Security grabs Alex and drags him away as he's thrashing all over the place.

I put my hands up as Naomi tells me to go up the ramp."Kay, go! You need to get out of here." She reasons with me.

I grab my belt in one hand and Dean's arm in the other, helping Roman pull him up the ramp. I'm greeted back stage by Vince and producers, I spot Randy standing a little ways off, a grin on his face.

"Give me a reason to not fire you right now!" Vince growls, sending chills up my spine.

I don't say anything, there's not a good enough reason for him not to. Its Randy who walks forward and speaks up. "Remember that guy I told you about? The one who was a horrible man to his girl, then left her for no reason." He asks Vince slinging his arm around Vince's shoulders. "Well that was him." Randy winks at me and turns back to Vince, "So you understand why she did what she did?"

"I guess so." Vince sighs to Randy, "But, I want you working twice as hard as you are! Earn your job."

"Yes, Sir." I say shaking his hand before I walk away.

The boys and I are are walking through the hallways to our locker room when someone runs up behind us.

"Randal FUCKING Orton! You scared the shit out of me!" I yell after he gives me jumper cables. The boys laugh and keep walking, but I spin around and wrap my arms around his neck, his arms wrap around my waist, and he practically lifts me off the ground.

"I love you." I whisper into his ear.

"I love you too, my Queen." He says before he kisses me.
