Hail to the King

Monday Night Raw – February 10, 2014

Tonight was going to be a very busy night and everyone was ready for it. After a good long workout and some talking things over in the morning, Roman arrived at the arena with Dean and Seth. They headed right to their locker room to go over what was going to take place during the night.

"Looks like we got a promo, a match, and a confrontation tonight." Seth says as he looks over the script again.

"It appears so." Dean says as he dances around a bit.

"Dude. You need to relax." Roman says, getting annoyed.

"If I don't?" Dean gets in in face.

"Look!" Seth yells, stepping between them. "I thought we agreed there would be none of this?"

"He started it." Dean said, walking away.

"I don't care. We need to focus tonight!"

"Fine." Dean huffed.

They kept looking everything over, going over what they would say and what would happen. After a few hours, the show started and it was time for their segment. They made their way to where it would take place, meeting with Renee. Not long after that, the cameras started rolling.

"Roman, we just saw highlights from your historic night at the Royal Rumble. But now you, Seth and Dean face perhaps your biggest challenge in the Wyatt Family in a six-man tag match at the Elimination Chamber. And the Wyatt Family's actually had some pretty harsh words for you guys lately. Do you have a response to that?" Renee asks.

"Baby girl, actions always speak louder than words. You remember that." Roman says smoothly.

"The Wyatts love to speak in riddles. Renee, we don't. We speak in absolutes." Seth adds.

"As in, we will absolutely destroy the Wyatt Family at Elimination Chamber." Dean says.

"Dean, on another topic, there's actually been some talk simply about the fact that you haven't defended your United States Championship in...quite some time. Do you have a comment on that?" Renee turns to Dean.

"So am I supposed to just uh...pull United States Championship matches and contenders out of thin air? Is that what I'm supposed to do? You know how this works? Do you have any idea how much paperwork goes into something like this..."

"What're you talking about man? What kind of champion do you want to be?" Roman confronts him.

"I resent that, alright? Bottom line is, there's nobody in this company with the guts to try and step up and take this away from me. I'll prove it tonight. I'll put out an open challenge. Tonight, US title on the line. Anybody who wants to step up. I will remind the world...that I...am a champion." Dean says then walks off."

"What was that?" Seth looks at Roman.

"He's lost it. He's crazy." Roman shakes his head.

"We better go after him." Seth states as they walk after Dean.

They meet up with him and are told to head to their position so they can head to the ring. With security in tow, they head to the concourse of the arena, waiting for their que. Once it's given, they all head down the stairs and to the ring. For the first time since October, the United States Championship would be on the line on RAW as Dean, with Seth & Roman in his corner, would defend the United States Title against whoever accepts Dean's open challenge.

"No one will come out." Dean said confidently.

Just then, the last person he thought of would answer his challenge. Mark Henry. Dean's face went form confident and cocky, to shock and horror as Mark made his way to the ring. They do the formal ring introductions before the bell. Dean is hesitant as Roman and Seth joke at him. Henry shoves Dean to the mat to start. Henry's left elbow is taped up. They lock up and Henry shoves him down again. Dean goes to the floor to talk with Roman and Seth. Dean comes back in but Henry keeps control. Dean tries to make a comeback and work on the arm but Henry tosses him over the top rope. Dean starts working on Henry's arm. Henry makes a comeback and catches Dean with a World's Strongest Slam. Henry goes for the pin but Seth breaks it up for the disqualification.

After the match, Henry would do his best to fight them off, but would find himself laid out with a Spear by Roman. Their exit is then halted by The Wyatt Family, who make their entrance into the arena, making their way to ringside. Roman, Seth, and Dean then hop back over the barricade into the ringside area and The Wyatt Family steps forward on the other side of the ring. Roman, Seth, and Dean are the first to move, climbing onto the ring apron, followed shortly by The Wyatt Family. Roman then leads the charge, stepping inside the ring. Bray Wyatt then starts to step into the ring, but thinks better of it as The Wyatt Family drops from the ring apron, leaving Roman, Seth, and Dean standing in the ring, ready for a fight. Once they get the 'all clear' that Raw is off air, they get out of the ring and head to the back.

"What in the hell happened out there?" Dean gets pissed.

"You were going to lose. We had to do something."

"What are you talking about? I had that match won! I didn't need any help!" Dean flips out.

"Sure you did. You were so done for." Roman interjected.

"Oh really? You think so?" Dean stopped, glaring at him.

"Yes Dean. We were out there, you might not have been, but you were going to lose if we didn't do something."

"Psh. I could have won. With or without your help." Dean rolls his eyes, walking off.

"Whatever dude." Roman chuckles as they follow him back to the locker room.

While they get ready to head out for the night, they talk about what happened with The Wyatt's and what they plan on doing. These next few weeks are going to be very eventful and busy ones.

Elimination Chamber 2014

The past few weeks have been very eventful and stressful. There has been more tension then ever with the trio on screen. Off screen, they've been fine, the same three best buds they've always been. Tonight was the night of the Elimination Chamber and they were ready for a fight, a fight that would hopefully end this little war of theirs.

"We all know what we're doing tonight, right?" Roman asks.

"We've been over this. Of course we do."

"Hey! That's the kind of attitude we don't need tonight!" Roman raises his voice.

"Do NOT raise your voice at me!" Dean stands up to him.

"Then watch yourself." Roman simply says with a shrug.

"Guys! Enough!" Seth gets between them again.

"What?!" They yell.

"Enough of this stupid bickering! We have a very important match tonight!" Seth yells, having had enough.

"Okay."

"Fine."

"Now, let's focus on the task at hand."

They get to focusing on the match later, warming up they way they usually do. When it came time for the match, they headed to the concourse, getting ready to head out.

"Where's Dean? He disappeared." Seth questioned.

"I don't know. Probably left us hanging, knowing him these days." Roman said a bit out of it.

"He sure has a lot of explaining to do when we find him."

"If he shows his face. He'll be getting it."

They headed back to the locker room and there was no sign of Dean. They got changed and waited awhile for him to show, but he never did. Tired of waiting, they got their things and left the arena. Things were starting to break down for the dominate trio and no one, not even them knew if it could be fixed. All they knew, is that Dean had a lot of explaining to do when they saw him and he better have a good reason for leaving them high and dry in one of their biggest matches ever.
