SETH POV:

It was Monday Night RAW again, and I had just pulled into the 'Nationwide Arena' in Columbus Ohio. I still couldn't believe the mess my love life had become in just the space of a few days ago, and every time I thought about it, I felt myself knee deep in guilt. I hadn't heard any more from Leighla since she came to collect her belongings at my home on Friday. I also hadn't heard from Taylor either, which was really starting to get to get to me, because I missed her so much! I just wanted to hear her voice again, feel her touch, receive a message from her...something...anything.I just knew everything would be ok once we were together again.

I kept picturing Leighla's face that night, and the look in her eyes as I turned to see her staring at me in the doorway to room 605...the same strange way everyone seemed to be staring at me now as I walked through the corridor at the arena. What's going on? I thought, as I continued to make my way down the hall with my luggage in hand. I started to get a very strange feeling, as more and more people stopped what they were doing and just stared at me as I walked.

I could also see Superstar after Superstar trying to control their sudden laughter the second they saw me. Did I have something on my face or clothes? I wondered, brushing my hand across my beard, and looking down at my attire. Nothing. So what then?

''Congrats big boy!'' Paige winked, looking me up and down as she passed me in the hall.

Huh?

''Kingslayer? More of a Joker if you asked me'' Dolph laughed, patting me on the back as he walked past.

Seriously what the...?

''Whoo whoo!'' Nattie wolf whistled, smacking me on the butt and laughing.

''Oooooohhhhhhh Seth Rollinnnssss! Don't you dare, be sour! Clap, them balls together....and feeeellll the poweeeerrrrrrr!!'' Big E hollered, with the rest of the New Day falling over in fits of laughter.

I immediately stopped, and looked round at everyone ''Right, that's it!'' I huffed ''What the hell is wrong with everyo-''

''Hey Seth! Seth I heard about what happened bro, you okay?'' R-Truth asked, running up and giving me a big hug.

''Not really Truth...'' I said, still looking round at everyone watching me and laughing. I shook my head in irritation and turned my attention to him ''...Why what's going on?'' I asked ''...what happened?''

''You mean you haven't heard?'' he asked, his eyes as wide as saucers!

''Heard what?'' I asked confused.

''About The Shield breaking up bro! Oh you must be devastated!'' he cried, reaching out to comfort me with another hug.

I looked at him more confused than ever now ''Truth...The Shield broke up two years ago, remember? I turned heel and attacked them all with a steel chair''

He looked up at me with a puzzled expression on his face ''You sure?''

''I'm sure'' I told him with a slight chuckle.

''Oh my bad'' he said, walking away scratching his head in confusion, almost bumping into Dean and Roman who were both headed my way...

''Man of the hour!'' Dean grinned, rubbing his hands together and bro slapping me on the back.

''Yo man, I didn't know you and your Misses were having problems'' Roman said, walking up after him with a real look of concern on his face.

''Okay guys, what in the hells going on?'' I demanded.

''You mean you don't kno-''

''ROLLINS!!!'' Stephanie barked from down the hall, making everyone in the tri-state area jump in fear!

''Y-yeah?'' I answered in a worried tone.

She immediately stormed over to me, her high heels clicking loudly on the floor with each angry looking step she took in my direction ''In my office NOW!!'' she hissed, and stormed back down the hall toward the door marked 'MANAGEMENT'

Dean and Roman looked worried for me ''Good luck bro'' Dean whispered.

''I'm here if you need to talk man'' Roman said nervously.

''Uh, thanks'' I said, still without a clue as to what the fuck was going on.

I continued down the hall after Stephanie, and just a few feet from her door stood Randy Orton. He didn't say anything, he just smiled that smile and walked on by.

''Close the door'' Hunter said, standing up from his seat next to his wife.

''We don't need an explanation right now Rollins because the shows about to start soon, we just need to figure out a quick game plan as to how you're going to go about addressing the WWE Universe with this'' he said, sounding extremely pissed with me.

''About what?'' I asked in an irritated tone.

''About th-''

''Wait a second Hunter'' Stephanie said, standing up from her chair and walking round the desk with her arms folded to confront me ''you mean to tell me you have no idea what's going on?'' she asked in disbelief.

''Not a clue Steph'' I told her.

She let out a huge laugh, then her face turned serious as she pursed her lips together in anger.

''Check your Twitter'' she said calmly handing me her phone.

I looked at her confused for a second, but slowly took the phone and stared down at the screen...Oh dear God...!
