________Sweet little baby in a world full of pain...

extreme rules + 2016 ;

An unstoppable storm surrounds a resistant wrestler, its agitation sparking a slight anxiety within the collected entity. Gradually the calm and focused woman loses her usual methodical approach.

The one that so frequently dismantled her opponents limb from limb, targeting every single weakness and stomping on the foolish attempts to outdo her, succumbs to the alternative universe around her.

Haunting crowd's shouts invade her empty brain and annihilate any form of bearings as she suddenly rolls out of the ring, desesperately trying to regain her composure.

Banks' main weapon suddenly vanishes among the multiple silhouettes of the arena, each reminding her of her own inner demons. Whilst Becky and Charlotte wage a merciless war ignited by the eternal confrontation between one will's flames and the other hunger's wave, Sasha is stupefied by her asthonishing change of heart.

Most probably conclude that her perfectly executed strategy would eventually pay off, that she's simply waiting for the right moment to strike but they're wrong. Truth is, the lethal warrior rapidly turned into an ironically harmless one, the pressure unexpectedly crashing upon her soul.

Not only the one related to her golden opportunity nor the stressful fact that her stable's future is hold inside of her bare and freil fingers, but the overwhelming burden that comes with being one of the top faces of the company - responsabilities choking the life out of you at any waking second.

As her entire system is about to shut down, her analysing mind going silent and the resiliency she's made a reputation on slowly fading away, a hoarse voice worms its way in.

The meaningless words she laughed at the first time he pronounced them ultimately have a very deep meaning in that precise situation, recalling her than she'd have a tons of other opportunities to reach the gold.

To make an unforgettable impact however ? Not so sure.

As if possessed Banks marches towards the time keepers area, rewards the beaming Lillian with a hypocritical smile before taking possession of the prize she's been fighting to make hers for as long as she remembers.

Her gaze tenderly scrutinizes each detail the belt is designed with, the sole idea that she has been one of the instigator of that tremendous change almost enough to fulfill her void entity.

Except it is not and never will be just enough, because as long as her prize is inside of someone else's grip, she'd hunt down and slaughter the filthy thieves.

Blood boils with more intensity each step she's taking, her eyes showing all the extend of her devious intentions as her attention's now directed to her former acolytes, electricity coming from her fingers and a thunder in her stare.

Taking advantage of the undying battle raging inside of the ring, Sasha smashes the precious belt onto Charlotte's skull, the frightening noise quickly followed by a second strike that connects with Lynch's midsection.

Whilst the two miserably fall to the gound, kneeling in front of the actual "Queen" of their kingdom, she tiressly strings together countless strikes, making a valid statement without even using her very accurate finisher.

The enemies exclaimed that they weren't afraid to use "extrem methods" to get the job done ? Well neither is the Devil's precious child - her mind as malevolent as it gets.

Once officials finally manage to pull her apart, preventing her from inflicting any more damages to the women laying on the glacial floor, Banks executes the final scene of her rushed yet effective plan.

She stands above her victims, each crying out of pain and shame, crushing their spirits by holding up high the title that should already be hers, a grin so disturbing that it'd send shivers down everybody's spine.

Everybody but one precise human being, his mind possibly as twisted and savage as Banks', his mocking and insane chuckle bluring out from the titantron.

Not the smallest of word comes out from his mouth nor the slightest of conceirn is perceivable on his flawless features - his angelic face sickening Sasha to her guts each and every time she lays her depraved eyes on him.

Instead Dean motions towards Lynch's lockeroom, the Boston native discovering in horror that the actual championship is still safe and sound and that her foolish strategy was nothing but a remarkable failure.

The pride that was moments earlier written all over her heavenly traits now turns into disgust, anger and utter humiliation, as she's standing still but internally falling from her own pedestal.

In defeat and embarrassment, the poisoned flowers of their soulless group reflect on the events that just unfolded before their puzzled self.

Since she shamefully found her way back to the curtains closing her pitiful act, Sasha hasn't stopped wondering how Ambrose could have read her intentions that easily.

"We still have a secret weapon, remember ?" Emma voices on a deceitfully overjoyed tone, still bitter and irritated that, so far, two of their soldiers fell in the battlefield.

One went down to Carmella, victim of the fact she overly underestimated her abilities whilst the second got disgraced on live television.

As both anger and apprehension is growing backstage and their acolytes get set for their match, they are all fully aware of the fact this is their last chance at making a decent impact over the night.

Either they print their names in glory and gore, either they're covered by failure and desperation.

As soon as the bell rings Sami automatically goes after Owens until both are stopped in their hurry by Dean, discreetly pitching at the underdog they indeed are from the same bread and that it'd be in their best interest to work together.

Fortunately enough for Sasha it appears like Ambrose isn't that much skilled at reading others' minds since he receives a double superkick, both the Canadians actually rekindle their old unity for a split second before discharging punches at one another.

Seth's vicious and sharp stare never seems to leave the cameras pointed on him, sending a message she can't quite decode.

"We don't know that for sure yet. " She remarks, still unsure about Rollins' final decision following their heartfelt conversation. It could indeed be another one of his tricks, the Mastermind so accustomed to lure others.

Her doubts are quick to disappear when, half into the match, the view of Rollins preparing himself to execute the Pedigree on Dean over a ladder gives her hope that she may had succeeded in her initial task : assuring her team's survival.

The same relief is writing itself over Owens' features as he's perched on the outside of the ring, blowing a death kiss towards his opponents as he's now sure one of his merciless acolytes will pick up the win.

Until the shadows of his past come crashing his sudden optimism, sending the ladder he climbed on earlier colliding with the harsh floor before Dolph Ziggler and The Miz collaborate once again to tear apart yet another former NXTien.

Once it becomes apparent that Kevin won't be able to cause much damages to anyone or anything for that matter, the raging dogs of Hell turns their attention towards Seth - at that point already struggling with Austin and Ambrose's double attack on him.

Whilst the blonde one decides to give back a taste of Rollins' former injury to him, the Awesome one destroys Dean and Aries' number advantage thanks to the numerous miscommunications both men's lack of synchronisation results in.

"But apparently, they do." Emma breathes out, attempting to catch up with Banks' pace as she's charging to the stage once again, furtively catching Vince's satisfied stare at the whole chaos he's surely responsible for.

When Banks finally arrives on the crime scene two of her men are already down and out while the last survivor's major weakness targeted time and time again, the obvious intention to put him on the shelf not so hard to comprehend.

On the back of her head she can overhear Shane and his father arguing about whether the security should interfer, putting a final end to that disordered night.

In the end it's a wave of wrestlers that take the initiative to enter the madness, eager to stop the blood's rain from staining the pure canvas again.

Taking advantage of the confusion Sami prevents Sasha from receiving a wicked round house kick to the side of the face, placing himself as a human shield to protect her at all costs whilst she's battling the monsters surrounding her with the few strengths still in her system.

The good guys, the bad guys, it doesn't matter when war rages on.

Everyone's hurting and getting hurt.

Everyone's morals vanish in a mess of troubled emotions, blurry visions and animal's instincts.

E L E N A ;

How come Banks' enemies know about her stable's strategies ? (the title she hold being a replica + figuring out Rollins' alliance with them ?)

Rollins is seemingfully on her side, what are your thoughts on that ?
