Chapter 15: Cherish
(One week later)
The Bliss Republic and the Brotherhood were still in confused state following the vignette promoting the so called One-Winged Angel, and they don't know if he's an ally or an enemy to either groups. Tonight was Raw, and both groups are on their heels as they might receive another message from the One-Winged Angel.
Alexa has put the match card and segments for the show tonight.
Drew McIntyre vs. WWE Champion Blood Shepherd (with Kairi Sane) in a non-title match
Alex Auditore addresses his injury from Takeover: Tampa
United States Champion Randy Orton (with Alexa Bliss) vs. Pete Dunne in a non-title match
The current WWE Champion, the Duke Blood Shepherd was ready to reignite his rivalry with the leader of Claymore Country, Drew McIntyre.
Shepherd: time to face my enemy
Kairi: I'll be in your corner babe, use your win at WrestleMania as a mind game
Shepherd: if this One-Winged Angel dares to show himself, let him try
Kairi smirked and kissed her husband. Then the two left the locker room.
(Drew vs. Shepherd)
The Scotsman was in the ring representing the fallen Brotherhood leader, Alex; he readies himself for his match against the man who took his WWE title from him, Blood Shepherd.
The Duke made his entrance with his Pirate Princess wife by his side. He got in the ring and stared down at Drew. The bell rang and the two fired rapid punches. Shepherd got Drew with a big kick, fazing the Scotsman, but Drew fired back with a forearm. Kairi was cheering on her husband at ringside.
(End of match)
McIntyre landed a Claymore, and he went for the pin, but Kairi put Shepherd's foot on the ropes and shouted at the referee to break up the pin. Drew turned his attention to Kairi at ringside, giving Shepherd time to recover. After some arguing between the Pirate Princess and the Scotsman, Drew turned around and was met by a Giga Savate Strike from the WWE Champion. Shepherd went for the pin, but Drew got his shoulder at the second count.
As Shepherd was setting up for another Giga Savate Strike, he was interrupted by an ominous choir.

Then a theme played.

Shepherd and Kairi looked at the big screen to see the same hooded One-Winged figure from last week. Shepherd readied himself as he waits for the figure to come out.
The figure flew away and left a vague message.
"Two weeks"
Then the screen faded to black, leaving Shepherd, Kairi and the crowd confused.
As Shepherd turned around, he was met with a sudden Claymore from Drew; the Scotsman went for the pin and got the victory over the WWE Champion.
(The Bliss Republic's locker room)
Alexa was about to throw a tantrum, but Orton calmed her down, knowing the mysterious One-Winged Angel has caused their WWE Champion his match.
Shepherd went to the locker room while Kairi helped him.
Shepherd: the One-Winged Angel struck again
Kairi: he left a message, "two weeks"
Finn: does he mean he's coming in two weeks?
Alexa checked the calendar and saw that the next pay-per-view is in two weeks, which is Backlash.
Alexa: Backlash, does he meant by that?
Travis: he may show up at Backlash
Randy: whatever his intentions are, we still don't know who is he targeting
The Bliss Republic are left in a twisted game of guess who.
Meanwhile, in the Brotherhood's locker room, Drew came in.
Drew: you all saw that, right?
Big E: two weeks, Backlash is in two weeks
Candice: is he gonna make an appearance at Backlash?
Xavier: that's a possibility
Roman: we'll find out at Backlash, but look Alex is gonna be addressing the WWE Universe for the first time since Takeover: Tampa
The Brotherhood turned their attention to the screen.
(In the arena)
Jerry "The King" Lawler stood up from the commentary table.
Jerry: ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to a man who has been out of action due to injury, Alex Auditore!
The crowd cheered as they see the Brotherhood leader via satellite with Tegan sitting beside him.
Alex: how you all doing?
Jerry: Alex, great to see you; the WWE Universe wants to know, how are you feeling?
Alex: well King, I'm currently recovering at the hospital, and as you can see I have a massive headache, but with plenty of rest, I'll be feeling better
Jerry: glad that you're okay; I just want to ask, who is this mystery One-Winged Angel that's been sending these unclear messages because we are confused and curious
Alex: King, I also feel the same way; I don't know as well, I don't even know if this angel is a friend or foe to the Bliss Republic or to the Brotherhood, but whoever he is, both groups better ready themselves
As Jerry was about to ask the next question, he was interrupted by the Bliss Republic's theme as Randy and Alexa came out. The Viper and Goddess got in the ring and grabbed mics.
Alex: hello Randy, and hello to you too, my lovely wife
Randy: cut the crap, Alex
Alexa: we know that you know who this One-Winged Angel is
Alex: I'm confused as the entire WWE Universe, I don't know who this guy is
Randy: you learned a lot from me, Alex; especially when it comes to psychologically mess up your opponents
Alex: Randy Randy, if I was this so called "One-Winged Angel," then I could've been in that very ring kicking your ass right now, but I'm here in this hospital bed recovering from my injuries, so let me make this clear for everyone, "I am not the One-Winged Angel"
Alexa: okay, if you're not the angel, then who is it then?
Alex: as the message said, you have to wait two weeks, so I'm gonna get some rest, and I'll be watching the main event
Alex turned off his video chat app. Alexa gave Randy some motivation as the Viper faces the Bruiserweight for the first time ever.
(Orton vs. Dunne)
The Viper and the Bruiserweight locked up and Pete immediately went for his signature joint manipulation on the United States Champion's fingers, but Orton got out of the grip with a kick to the gut followed by a flurry of punches and uppercuts. Pete fired back with forearms and kicks, but Viper fired back with a standing dropkick, sending Dunne to roll out of the ring. Randy went after Pete, and nailed the Bruiserweight with the belly to back suplex on the ring apron while Alexa clapped for the Viper.
(End of match)
Orton RKO'ed Dunne, but the Bruiserweight got his shoulder at the final second. Alexa was screaming for Randy to finish Dunne. The Viper followed the Goddess' order and went to that place for another RKO. However, the match was interrupted by the same mysterious theme from last week.
Sephiroth
The screen was white and it showed a black feather floating until it landed on the mysterious figure's hand. He pointed at the screen and disappeared. Then a sentence faded in.
"Tell me what you cherish most. Give me the pleasure of taking it away"
Then it showed a video mash up of the Bliss Republic's title wins with close up shots of all the championships currently with the Republic with the last shot on the United States Championship. As the screen faded to black, Randy and Alexa were shouting at whoever who was controlling the equipment, but as the Viper turned around, he was flattened by a Bitter End from the Bruiserweight. Pete pinned Orton for the upset victory.
Alexa rushed to Randy's side as the Viper got up. The Republic's co-founders were now confused as ever as the countdown to Backlash begins, and that is when the One-Winged Angel will reveal himself.
