With the excitement of the weekend having simmered down now, it was time to get back to work. Monday Night RAW was in Seattle this time and a pretty good show was planned to give everyone something to stay entertained. One such thing was a Mixed Tag Team match between Y/N and Liv on one side, Dolph and Mandy on the other. The rivalry wasn't done yet, especially with so much unfinished business. Around 75% of the show were done by the looks of things when the time for said match has come. It was decided to let the ladies start off which apparently excited Liv a lot.

She was ready to fight, but so was Mandy as the two locked up and tried to overpower each other. Of course crowd reactions were mixed as that happened, but Mandy pushed Liv against the ropes to hopefully buy herself some time. The competition was set high all the time, but this whole thing had a completely different feeling to it which added some well accented tension into the fight. Liv dodged a few strikes pretty easily before getting a hold on Mandy once more and delivering a Fisherman Suplex.

Merely a One Count was the result, but it was worth a shot nonetheless as Liv broke the cover and got back up quickly. She really wasn't here to just play around, she was here to prove to everyone that her time was coming. And if it meant wrestling Mandy, then so be it.

Liv:" Get up! Let me show you what a 'B+ Player' can do!"

This was a remark to a social media exchange between Liv and Mandy earlier that day as they put more fuel to the fire. Dolph and Y/N were also jawjacking at each other, just waiting for an opportunity to fully give each other a beating. Despite the hard hitting match at Extreme Rules, they wanted to be in action tonight as well. Liv was backed into a corner right now, allowing Mandy to stomp away at her.

She didn't care much about the ref's count, but backed away slowly only to attack again. Things didn't look good for Liv and Y/N at the start of the match, but they were sure there would be a turning point sooner rather than later. Mandy was finally separated from Liv who needed a moment to catch her breath. She knew this was only to create some heat for the future of this feud and it worked as Mandy posed arrogantly for the fans. Then Y/N was tagged in which forced Dolph to enter the ring as well. Now this was the second clash everyone has been waiting for because the hatred between the two men basically broke the barrel so to speak. It didn't even take long for the two to throw fists with one another. Nobody knew exactly what to expect right now and where things might go from here on out, but the people eradicated to this program kept up with it as best as they were able to. Dolph bounced back from the ropes and tried for a Running Crossbody, but Y/N wasn't having any of that when he caught the Showoff with a Big Boot. Desperate times called for desperate measures as it was demonstrated just now. Dolph really didn't have a great time going through more torment. He was still quite bruised up and didn't feel at 100%, but he also didn't want to suddenly get pulled from the match or anything. And he grew to tolerate Y/N more as well, so it would've been disrespectful to blow this off before things could really start.

For Liv, it was wonderful to see her boyfriend in action up close. She understood his style pretty well after watching the matches he had so far. The young woman smiled, but had to be careful because their relationship didn't go public yet. Apart from Ruby, nobody knew what was going on between Liv and Y/N, although some others already suspected something. However, this wasn't the time to daydream as Y/N had Dolph in a tight Chin Lock. Mandy did her best to hype her partner up again as the fight for control was going. WWE had recently done a popularity poll between the teams as well, but the results weren't out yet. Then again, the action in and around the ring mattered the most for a lot of fans and critics alike as Dolph actually managed to fight his way to freedom, breaking up the hold and hitting Y/N with a quick Dropkick.

This was a turning point for the match as Liv and Mandy were in again and continued were they left off. There was no love lost whatsoever as even the women went harder at it than it was expected, but the crowd loved it, soaking up the intense action. They wonders what a 1-on-1 match would be like without any interruptions and maybe they would get their wish in the coming week. Everything looked promising about it for sure as Liv just dodged a Running Knee from Mandy and turned the tables with a Neckbreaker. Cheers echoed through the arena now as it seemed like she had a plan to set up the finish while Y/N kept Dolph out of the ring by sending him over the barricade with a Clothesline. Now with the line of fire cleared out, Liv quickly grabbed Mandy by her hair and premiered a new finisher in the process.

The following pin was basically just a formality at this point as Liv scored the victory for herself and for Y/N who slid into the ring a few second later, picking Liv up and letting her hold on just how she liked it. After all, there was no way he would drop her or something and she knew she could trust her tall man in any case.

Backstage right after the match, the winning team was caught by Kayla Braxton who had a smile on her face.

Kayla:" Liv, Y/N, congrats on your victory out there. This isn't the last we've seen of Dolph and Mandy though, right?"

Liv:" They can come after us any time. We're just going to beat them again, you know? And that's a fact because we're that damn good!"

Y/N:" I've beaten Dolph over and over again, Kayla. I basically know him inside out. If he wants to have a chance against me, he better step it up. As for Mandy...........So Yeah, we're going to knock some sense into them."

Kayla:" Alright. Here's a question for Liv though. Care to give us some space, Y/N?"

Y/N:" By any means, don't let me stop you. I will head off for now."

Y/N saluted the camera and therefore the crowd before walking off while Kayla turned her attention back to Liv.

Kayla:" Now to the question. Could it be that you've taken a liking to Y/N?"

Liv:" I've warmed up to him a lot, yes. He's just different. Just a few weeks ago, he was more serious and only focussed on the task at hand. But now...Just keep an eye out and...watch us~!"

Giggling, Liv also walked off now and left everyone wondering what was going to happen. She didn't reveal anything just yet about her real feelings for Y/N, but as soon as she was back in his arms and resting her head on his chest, the young woman knew she was in the right place with the right man.
