Let's Start A Riot (A Riott Squad Love Story)

Chapter 13

Austin's POV

We drove up to the arena for Smackdown. It was three weeks before Wrestlemania, and tonight I have a match. Who I will be facing however, I don't know yet. Tonight, the WWE fans will have a choice. They will get to choose my fate. On the WWE app, the fans will choose from three matches for me. I either get Bray Wyatt one-on-one, or I get Harper and Rowan in a two-on-one handicap match, or I get all three of them in a three-on-one handicap match. I think I have an idea of what they are going to pick. Let's just say tonight is going to hurt. A lot. 

I spent the day with the Squad but when the show started i went and found a quiet place where I can get ready for tonight. And of course just as I'm getting in my gear and starting to tape up my hands, Bray Wyatt starts the show with a promo. He showed up on the screen banging a cup against the bars. "Let me ask you a question Austin. Is this what it was like? Is this how you remember him? Locked inside a cage, like an animal." He said before he sat down and started chuckling. "And when you look at me right now, are you reminded of him? Hi Austin it's big brother. Remember me? I'm one of the first people you ever saw in life and then I left you alone to rot in it." He said before laughing again. "And I came here today behind these bars, to remind you that one day this will be you. This is your future. Forever trapped inside a prison of your own design. Begging for freedom that you will not receive. Praying to a deity that does not exist, so that you may save yourself as the walls of your self conscious close ever so slowly. It didn't have to be like this Austin, it could've been different man. You and I, could've ruled the world. But you changed all that. So instead, I am going to leave this cell." He said as the cell was opened. "And then I'm going to leave you drowning inside a pool of your own filth. Just like big brother did." He said an evil smirk on his face before laughing. "In here Austin, it can never end. It will never end in here Austin. It'll never end." He whispered before the promo ended. There was a camera filming me as I finished taping up my wrists. I threw the T.V. I was watching across the room. Again, that'll come out of my pay, but I don't care. Bray Wyatt has made this so personal. Tonight I pray that I get either that 3-on-1 handicap match or the one-on-one match with Wyatt. I don't care which one. Tonight, I'm full of rage and I'm going to get my hands on that asshole. 

Sarah came to find me as I was doing my warm-ups. Stuff that I need to do otherwise I won't be able to focus when it's showtime. "What's up Sarah?" I asked as I stopped doing my sit-ups. "We're just worried about you Austin. When we got to the arena you walked off and we haven't seen you since." She noticed the broken T.V. in the room. "And that means that you aren't doing well." I sighed. "You know how this voting is most likely gonna go huh?" She nodded. I hugged her. "I appreciate you guys worrying. Really, I do. But I'm hoping for the 3-on-1 handicap match." She looked at me as if I was crazy. And honestly, I probably am. "Bray has made this too personal to forgive. Tonight I need to get my hands on him." I said as she sighed and nodded. I was called to the gorilla and I kissed her on the head. "I love you alright? Let Liv and Ruby know that I love them too. No matter what happens tonight everything is going to be alright. I'll see you soon." I said as I walked out of the locker room and towards the curtain. 

I walked down to the ring and slid in, not wasting any time. I grabbed a mic. "I'm not gonna waste any time, I already have a pretty good idea of how this voting went so lets just put the results on the screen." I said pointing to the titantron. As I expected the crowd voted for the 3-on-1 handicap match. I threw the mic back towards the announce table. "Bring those assholes out here!" I yelled as the lights went out.

After about fifteen minutes of getting my ass kicked, I finally started to get back into things. Only Bray Wyatt wasn't concerned with winning. While I had my back turned, preoccupied with Harper, I got hit in the back of the head with the steel steps. He set then down and had his family pick me up. He then hit me with a uranage on top of the steps. Harper picked me up again and he hit me with his discus clothesline. The impact turned me inside out. Rowan got me up and hit me with his iron claw slam. Then they both picked me up and Bray hit me with the Sister Abigail on top of the steps. That left me barely conscious. The next thing I knew I was in the medic room. Seeing the squad above me I smiled. Once Liv saw I was awake she hugged me. "Hey." I said softly. "Hey." They all said back. "How are you feeling?" Liv asked me. "Like I just got hit by a semi truck." I muttered before slowly sitting up. "Why did the crowd vote for the handicap match?" Ruby pondered. I chuckled. "Yeah I don't think they like us all that much." I said. "Still." Liv pouted. I pulled her in for a hug and put my forehead against hers. "I'll be alright. Bray is just fueling the inferno that is burning inside of me." I said as I hopped off the medical bed and got my stuff together. "Um Austin, you might wanna wait to get looked at by the doctor." Ruby said. I shook my head. "To hell with that. I'm not giving them any chance to not clear me for Wrestlemania." They sighed. "Alright but promise that you'll see a doctor if you start to feel funny?" Liv asked and I nodded. "Promise." I said as we walked out together. "You really scared the hell out of Gionna." Ruby said as Sarah and Liv trailed behind us on the way back to the locker room. I sighed. "I know. And I feel bad about that. I'll find a way to apologize to her later." I muttered as we walked into the locker room. I sat down and unstrapped my kick pads. I changed back into my street clothes and packed up all my gear and realized that I didn't have the title. "Hey Austin." Liv said handing me the title. "I noticed that you left this out there." "Thanks." I said as I put the title in my bag. "Are you alright?" I asked her. She sighed. "You just make a habit out of worrying the hell out of me." She whispered. "I'm sorry." I whispered back. "But just know I took the best that they had and I'm still standing. Wrestlemania will be no different." She nodded and kissed me on the cheek. "I trust you Austin." She said. "By the way, I found out that we have all of the rest of the week off until Smackdown next week. I talked to the girls and we agreed that we all wanted to do something with you. Sarah said that you guys have been planning on going camping anyway." I chuckled and nodded. "What did you have in mind?" I nudged her. She smiled at me sweetly. "That's for me to know and you to find out." I chuckled and kissed her on the head. "Can't wait. Let's get out of here yeah?" I asked all of them as they nodded. Bray made his point tonight. But I'd like to think that I made mine too. At Wrestlemania, Bray Wyatt is going down.
