Archangel Finds Bliss: Temptation

Drawing the Battle Lines

Monday Night RAW was near the end and the triple threat between the Monday Night Messiah and his Disciple, the Street Profits as well as Dominik Mysterio and Humberto Carillo for the RAW Tag Team Championships was still taking place. Murphy battered and bruised looked up to see Rollins pick his jacket and walk away from the ring, meanwhile, Dawkins picked up the Australian and sent his back into the mat with a spine buster and Montez Ford sealed the win with a splash from the heavens! Unfortunately, the celebration was cut short as the Archangel came out from behind the curtains and stopped Rollins in his tracks

The Archangel stared down the self-proclaimed Messiah before finding himself swarmed from all sides by the Monday Night RAW roster. Turning his head behind him, he smirked and raised his hands in victory before SmackDown came from out of nowhere, beating up all of Monday Night RAW and leaving them a battered mess, forcing Rollins to watch in horror as the blue brand stood tall over the mountain of bodies from the red brand

With Dominik Mysterio, Humberto Carillo, Montez Ford, Angelo Dawkins and his discarded disciple behind him, Rollins called for them to rally with him but, to no avail. As SmackDown marched forward, the Herald from High stopped them in their tracks, shook his head and pointed to the back

Archangel: We did what we came here to do. Let's go.

Taking the rest of the roster with him, the Celestial Superstar guided the men and women out of the arena before taking one last look at the ring to see Rollins berating the remaining members of RAW that did not stand with him

DAYS LATER ON SMACKDOWN

The Tribal Chief stood in the ring to open the show with Paul Heyman at his side, after delivering a scathing statement as to what was to be expected for the WWE Champion at Survivor Series before the Herald from High's music blasted over the speakers, interrupting the special counsel and his chieftain

Archangel: Roman Reigns... good to have you back on Friday Night SmackDown. However, your decision to shelter yourself last week while the rest of the locker room took on all of Monday Night RAW baffles me. Did you decide to bring all of Samoa to your little hut backstage?

Heyman: Do not speak to your Tribal Chief in that manner-

Archangel: Mr Heyman... perhaps you should enlighten Mr Tribal Chief here who I am? I have been holding down the fort of SmackDown ever since he decided to go away and play "daddy". And you, you were cast aside, by none other than me! For your services, I still hold you in high regards, but for the man you serve a special counsel to? Not so much. So, listen up Mr Reigns! You may be a chief of an island filled with warriors, but so am I! The difference is, I am a warrior from the lands that your fathers and their fathers before them journey to when they cannot fight anymore, so answer me, WHERE. THE HELL. WERE YOU?

The Big Dog stared down the Celestial Superstar unwavering before speaking directly to him, without a microphone

Roman: Understand this. I am the Tribal Chief. SmackDown is MY Island. They all came down and whooped RAW's ass. The next time you speak to me like that, I promise you, you will not be standing! You are one of us now, so fall in line!

Stepping out of the ring, the Archangel looked at Roman Reigns and his Universal Championship enviously, before a smile came across his face. Speaking as the Tribal Chief stood atop the ramp before he made his way behind the curtain

Archangel: I never did challenge for that title after my loss at Mania. After Survivor Series is over, you can bet your ass, I'm coming for you and that championship, "Big Dog"!
