The Hounds of Justice

27. Rematch

The next Monday Night Raw

I pull my vest over my head and tighten it. It's the same design as I wore when we won the belts. I pull my hair up into a ponytail, for once I'm not wetting it. I wrap my women's title around my waist, Roman hands me one of the Tag belts and I drape it over my shoulder.

"Who do you think we'll be facing?" I ask as the boys as we climb the stairs towards the entrance.

"Not Finn. I doubt we'll see him again before mania." Roman answers.

"Probably Kane." Dean adds. He walks next to me.

He has a hoodie on and sunglasses, he had a little bit of fun last night. We all did, the four of us went out and bought beer, and fireball, and some vodka, and had a little party in our hotel room. We thought it would be fun to celebrate that all of us are getting along.

"I'm not ok with the idea of us being banned." Roman stops as we get to the curtain. Like Dean he's wearing a hoodie too.

"We'll be fine, if anything we retain by dq. Right Sethie?" I put my bat on my shoulder.

"Right."

We listen as the Authority comes out, the arena fills with boos as they get in the ring. "Repressing the Authority, Triple H and Finn Bálor!"

"What the fuck? Finn and Hunter?" My mouth drops open and I turn to look at Roman.

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

"And your Tag Team Champions representing the Shield, Kayla Reigns and Seth Rollins!" The crowd screams as Seth and I walk through the curtain.

We ignore the hands reaching for us and flip over the barrier. We pace the floor between the ring and announcers tables. I set my bat down on the other side of the barrier, Finn and Hunter don't need to see that yet.

"Is anyone else surprised to see Bálor here? I thought he would be scared to get hurt!" I taunt him.

"Just get in the ring, then we'll see who's scared!" He calls back.

I climb in the ring and onto the turnbuckle. I take the Tag belt in my right hand and my women's belt in my left, and I pose like Randy does. Climbing down I laugh at the look on Finn's face.

I hand my Women's belt through the rope and give my Tag belt to the ref. He shows them to Hunter and Finn before raising them in the air.

"This is your main event! The Authority versus The Shield for the Raw tag team championship.
This match is one fall, you can win by pin or submission." Lilian climbs out of the ring.

"I'll start." I whisper to Seth.

He climbs out of the ring and I turn around. I stare into the eyes of Finn Bálor, for once I can say I'm nervous about facing a man. He has the same style of wrestling as me, fast and hard hitting. Most men I wrestle either use powerful moves or technical moves, not both.

The bell rings and right away he runs and goes for a drop kick. I spin out of the corner and his legs get caught up in the turnbuckle. While he's stuck I do a leg drop across his chest. Smiling I get back up and yell into the crowd.

A forearm to the back of the head causes me to stumble into the ropes. Two feet connect with the small of my back and I fall to the mat on purpose. Finn grabs my foot and pulls me center ring for a cover.
