With the coming days leading up to Battleground, I began to watch Paige a lot more closely. I guess after discovering that little song she'd been humming all week was to the tune of Brays sick mind games, it made me wonder what else he could possibly be doing...

''Aww Dean'' Paige sighed, looking over at me again ''...don't look so worried baby, I told you I'm fine, I mean come on, what damage can he really do with a song?'' she chuckled.

''A song!'' I said all of a sudden, clapping my hands in excitement ''Guy's that's it!'' I quickly motioned for Seth and Roman to come join me ''okay, I just got an idea that I think can help all of us this Sunday, and if we can pull it off, it will bring us one step closer to overpowering The Wyatt's...''

*****

It was finally here. Battleground. A place where wars are won, scores are settled, and honour is earned.

For me and the boys, it was a chance to prove once and for all just who the most dominant trio in WWE really was. I guess for Bray though, it was more validation, as he never once wanted people to forget he was a 'God'....Well after tonight, he's gonna wish he never claimed to be.

6:00PM: ONE HOUR BEFORE BATTLEGROUND COMMENCES...

''WWE Universe, welcome to the kick off show! We are coming to you live here at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas Nevada for the must-see pay per view Battleground. I'm your host Renee You...''

I turned off the set and began making my way down the hall toward wardrobe, I needed to pop in and get more bandage tape for my hands, as I was planning on doing damage tonight to those inbred idiots!

I thought back to when I cut my hand in the club that day...well Harper and Rowan, tonight's it's gonna be an eye for an eye, and a cut hand for a busted head! Then, once they were out of the way, I would turn my attention to Bray, where I would personally destroy him piece by piece in front of the eyes of everyone!

I continued prep talking myself as I walked down the hall, but was forced to stop all of a sudden when I saw a familiar face up ahead...

Oh hell no! Not this guy again!

Tell me about it man, I don't need THIS drama on top of what I already gotta deal with tonight

It was Orton, and it looked like he saw me too, because he also stopped and was staring at me from across the corridor. I stared back, too scared to even think in case he could hear the thoughts inside my head.

I listened close, but the voices also were silent. I guess this amount of distance was somewhat 'safe' for us.

We seemed have some sort of understanding, because we both just slowly turned where stood, and went our separate ways.

*****

''And now ladies and gentlemen...'' the announcer said ''your Main Event of the evening, and the first ever of its kind, in what's being called a Family vs Family match right here in Las Vegas Nevada. This match is scheduled for one fall...''

''ONE FALL!'' the audience all chanted.

''And now, introducing first the newest family on the roster, they call themselves The Hounds of Justice, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...The Shiiieeeelllldddddd!''

I knew from the second Stephanie made the announcement in the meeting that day for Paige to be at ringside, that I would never let my dollface out of my sight until me and the boys had eyes on all three Wyatt's. Of course, that would only be once we reached ringside.

So, after pulling a few favours from management, The Shield did what The Shield does best, and that's...STEAL...THE...SHOW!

##Sierra...Hotel...Echo...Lima...Delta...SHILED#

We all emerged at the top of the steps, taking in the scene of the huge T-Mobile arena and all the fans with their posters and banners, while cheering our names loudly at the top of their lungs...it was nothing short of electrifying! And as we walked, we had every pair of eyes and cameras following us on the way down.

We all thought it would be pretty cool and a scary too if we came out wearing skeleton masks, as way to counter intimidation against The Wyatt's creepy sheep masks. Hunter was a bit sceptical about the idea at first, but hearing the crowd cheering us the way they were right now, it was sure to make him a very happy man.

Just then me Seth and Roman all paused on the steps, because in about 5 seconds the scene was set to get even better....

#Papa...Alpha...India...Golf...Echo...PAIGE#

The arena ERUPTED when they saw Paige emerge behind us at the top of the stairs!

Grinning widely, me and the boys all turned and fist bumped Paige in true Shield fashion, and I looked at her and thinking just how beautiful she looked smiling widely for the crowd.

She posed for a few seconds, before very cheekily linking her arm in mine as we all walked down the arena steps together.

You feel that energy man?

Coursing through my veins like fire...

Feels amazing Johnny boy!

And Dean, no matter what happens tonight, we fight with honour and pride!

Couldn't have said it any better myself buddy

We reached the bottom of the steps, and Roman and Seth jumped over the barrier, while I, amidst all the wolf whistles and howls coming from the crowd, very carefully picked Paige up and placed her over the barrier before jumping over myself.

All four of us entered the ring and each took a corner turnbuckle, proudly doing our signature poses that the WWE Universe had come to love so much.

And that was the first night Paige did her soon to be famous ''This is my house!'' scream as she jumped on the ring ropes between myself and Seth, sexily removing her leather jacket while flicking her long hair back with her arms open wide.

The moment was AMAZING!

It was already being decided how the WWE Universe wanted the outcome of this match to be, with the hashtag #Youdecide initiated by the fans, quickly starting to go viral as soon as the show began. And by the time the main event had started, it was trending number one on all social media!

I of course didn't understand much about social media, but I certainly knew which one I would vote for.

I jumped down from my corner turnbuckle and joined the boys in the centre of the ring, as we all took our face masks off.

I immediately looked over at Paige and winked at her, ushering for her to join us in the ring as the crowd began howling and clapping again.

''WWE Universe...'' I smiled, holding my mic in my hand as I looked round the arena ''is this what you guys wanna see?''

I then balled my other hand into a fist, followed by Roman and Seth who did the same, then we all looked over at Paige.

You know what happens next right...

''YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!'' the crowd chanted.

She blushed and held her hands to her cheeks, before slowly walking over to the middle of the ring where we stood. She lowered her hands and smiled, pausing cheekily for dramatic effect. Then just as scripted, Paige slowly balled one of hands into a fist, but before she could do what we all wanted to see her do, the lights in the arena suddenly went out, and The Wyatt family theme song began to play...

Even under the cover of dark, I could see Bray's eyes looking at her. They lit up with excitement, just like the thousands upon thousands of fireflies dancing all round me, only they shone a little darker in nature than the rest.

I went off script slightly when I reached over and held Paige's hand. She squeezed me tight, and instantly I could feel she was worried.

I could also see Roman and Seth pacing back and forth with their game faces on, looking like hungry wolves waiting to tear apart their prey.

Bray and his goons continued to walk slowly, following that stupid lantern Bray always carries with him, until they all finally reached the ring and Bray blew it out, causing a mystery of smoke swishing everywhere as the lights came back on in the arena.

The crowd didn't usually favour The Wyatt's, but with the stakes being so high tonight they cheered loudly for them regardless. I guess the audience could feel that electrifying excitement in the air too.

I watched as Bray stood there staring at us all with an evil look plastered across his face, and a darker look of danger dancing in his eyes. He had his sick little butcher's apron on and hat, while Rowan wore that creepy rabbit mask, and Harper wore nothing but a dangerous smile.

''...and their opponents, residing in-''

''Gimmie that!'' Rowan barked, lurching forward and grabbing the mic from the announcer and handing it to Bray.

Bray took the mic and began talking....''Here we are boys, the final battle'' he smiled, slowly pacing back and forth ''...and just like any battle, carnage will be done, and blood will be spilled.''

He slowly looked up from under his hat and locked eyes with Paige ''But in the end'' he continued ''...the reason we go into battle is to fight for something we believe in, something we want. And right now, the thing I want is that beauty standing behind you there all dressed in leather'' he smiled, blowing a kiss at Paige.

The crowd went WILD!!

The bell hadn't even rung yet, but me and the boys didn't care! We all immediately jumped out of the ring, getting up close and personal in the Wyatt's faces, exchanging brutal words and vicious insults!!

Surprisingly enough, it was Bray who tried to quickly calm the situation down by holding Harper and Rowan back behind him, while he locked eyes on me and smiled mysteriously...

SEEMS LIKE WE BOTH HAVE A VESTED INTEREST FOR THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE DEAN...SO WHY DON'T WE KEEP THIS CIVIL FOR NOW, AND HAVE A GENTELMENS HAND SHAKE?

I looked down at Brays hand...there was no mic in it!

Wait, how was he...

He's talking to me Johnny boy

TELL HIM TO STAY CALM WHILE THE CAMERAS ARE ROLLING

Fuck you hillbilly

HA HA HA. SO...I TAKE IT YOU'RE THE REAL BRAINS HERE?

We both are!

I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT BROTHER

Bray slowly raised his hand out to shake mine, and I just looked at it, then back at him...Pft! I thought giving him a nasty snarl.

I then rudely turned my back on him and signalled over to the ref...''RING THE BELL!''
