Life After The Shield

RAW

Jade Moxley

I was backstage as I watched the monitor show that Jon and Joe will return on RAW next week. I'm still in my Shield gear. (Pic at the top)

The Shield won't be officially over until Jon and Joe return. Then the three of us will make our last entrance as The Shield.

I was still healing from those chair shots from Randy. I had jumped onto Joe and tried to protect him.

I can't believe Colby would do that to us. To me. To Joe. To Jon. Dammit, Lopez!

I was getting ready for my match when I saw a pair of boots by me. I stood up straight and looked into the eyes of the bastard that beat my best friend and my brother with a chair.

I just glare at him. If looks could kill, he'd be dead by now.

"Jade. Look, I'm sorry, ok. I had to do it. Now Jon and Joe can have a chance in the business. They're gonna be stars. So are you. You can go back to being The Unstable Jade Moxley. The Lunatic Fringe. The Samoan Queen." He says.

"I don't care. You beat my best friends with a chair! You took that chair and you bashed it into Joe's back! Joe is basically my brother! You then demolished Jon! Jon!.... Jon.... He's my best friend! Like a brother! I love them! You took that chair and ended a brotherhood that you'll never have again. You took that chair and handed it to Randy... Which he took and bashed in the bodies of myself and Joe. When they come back next week, we're coming for you. And then we're gonna beat your ass. I'm gonna have fun getting my revenge. Cuz baby, this isn't over." I say and walk away.

I heard him sigh of sadness. Sadness, my ass. He took that chair and ended everything. I broke up with him that same night when he came to see me at the hospital.

I got to my locker room and saw my phone ringing.

"Hello?" I answered and heard the voice I've been dying to hear for a long time.

"Hey, baby sis." Joe says and it brought tears to my eyes as I froze.

"Joe." I whimper as the tears fell.

"Shh. Shh. It's ok, Lani. I know. I'll be back next week and we'll get Justice served for you." Joe says.

"I miss you guys." I say, wiping my tears.

"We miss you, too. Here, talk to Jon." He says.

"Hey, sweetheart." I heard and instantly got butterflies.

"Hi, handsome." I say.

"How's my samoan princess?" He asks.

"I'm good. How are my boys?" I ask.

"We're good. We'll be watching Smackdown. You better kick Summer's ass." Jon says and I laugh.

I heard Joe laughing in the background too.

"I will. I promise. I'm representing The Shield, remember." I say.

"Yea. I wish The Shield could stay together but as you, me and Joe. We'd still dominate the WWE." Jon says.

"Me too. But Hunter said that I'll be off and on tag team partners and valets of you guys. They want me with Joe mostly but I'll be with you too. It's gonna be revealed that I am Joe's little sister." I say.

"So what happens with the ring name and all?" Joe asks.

"My theme will change after the official departure of The Shield. My ring name will be Jade Moxley Reigns. My hometown will be known as Pensacola, Florida, and my ring gear will change back to my old gear." I say.

"Ok, cool." They said.

We talked longer then I heard my name getting called from the monitor as I walked the halls of the WWE.

"Why is Lopez calling you?" Jon asks.

"I don't know." I say.

"Jade! I know you're back there. Please come out here. We need to talk." Colby says.

"Go. See what he wants." Joe says.

I hang up and Brie comes up to me. She holds out her hand. I smile and hand her my phone and we hug.

"I'm so sorry. I hope Jon and Joe heal quickly." She says.

"Thank you. Same with Bryan. Send him my love." I say and she nods.

I leave and go to The Shield's entrance.

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

I walk out and the fans cheer me on. I glare at Colby as I stopped at the top of the stairs. Still in my Shield gear.

I walk down the stairs and climb over the barricade and walked up the stairs and got into the ring. I stared at Colby with a blank stare.

"Look... Jade. You know I love you. I always have. And you can't stand there and tell me you don't because I see it in your eyes. You're only doing this... Because you feel like you should automatically be loyal to Dean and Roman. But, baby... With me.. I can treat you like a queen. I can give you everything you've ever wanted. Remember? We always talked about having kids and raising a family in Florida to stay close with your family." Colby says.

I looked away.

"We did. But Seth... That all changed when you took that chair and beat your brothers--or excuse me, business partners-- with it and then gave it to Randy Orton! The bastard that beat me and Roman to a pulp! If you loved me, you'd have done something about it! Or! You wouldn't have done it at all!" I yell, almost crying.

"Jade." He says.

"Leave me alone. I'm done." I say.

The crowd cheers me on as I leave. As I got to the barricade, I was turned, pushed against it, and lips were slammed onto mine.

I so badly wanted to kiss back. So I did. We made out. I then came to my senses and pushed him away.

"Dammit!" I yell in frustration and leave as Colby called for me.

~Match~

I saw Summer in the ring with Fandango.

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

I walk out and the fans cheer me on as I did. I still was in my SHIELD gear.

"And her opponent, representing The Shield, weighing at a 125 lbs, Jade Moxley!!" Lillian announces.
