The Year has started, but there was happiness for the Authority. On the first night of Raw in 2015, they fired Dolph Ziggler, Ryback, and Eric Rowan for their involvement in putting them out of power in Survivor Series. They celebrated until they realized Jaime Noble and Joey Mercury have disappeared. A Joker Card is given to them, giving them an eerie message.

Soon, videos and messages were sent to them as they see someone in the shadows torturing and mocking both J&J Security. Then, on the next night on Raw, a cruel prank was played as Seth faced John Cena in a Lumberjack Match. The titantron showed two figures hanging above the ground with clothes similar to J&J.

Security went to the boiler room to get the bodies until on them had their head fall off, as it was only revealed to be mannequins with a message from a Joker Card. Then, on the same night, after the contract signing, the Authority's office was set on fire along with a lot of money that was badly burned on the floor.

And finally, J&J were found, but not in a good way. Their bodies hanging upside down, clothes torn, bruised and bloodied, and terrifyingly of all, their mouths in a permanent wide smile and widen eyes.

Soon, an eerie-looking security guard walked behind Seth and Kane and stares at him before leaving, with Seth finding another Joker card on the floor.

Then, on Smackdown, Triple H was attacked from behind by a cameraman as he shows everyone a Joker Card before disappearing through the blackout. On the same night, many vehicles, including the limousine were damaged and painted with green spray paint with the words 'HaHa' all over them.

The next week Smackdown, a man dressed as the Original Red Hood attacked Kane and Big Show with a crowbar before disappearing and leaving a final Joker Card until the Royal Rumble.

At the Royal Rumble, at #30, the Red Hood came out and eliminated Big Show, Kane, and Roman Reigns. When both members of the Authority went back inside, they were taken out again. Rusev went back inside but was eliminated later, giving the Red Hood the victory.

But he didn't celebrate as he brutality assaulted Kane and Big Show with a Steel Chair. Soon, Seth Rollins came running to the ring and confronted the Red Hood and demanding to reveal who he really is.

Deep inside me, I'm fading to black, I'm fading
Took an oath by the blood of my hand, won't break it

Soon, flashbacks of the mind games play as each Joker Card that was seen is shown as they transition to each of them. Then, the Red Hood slowly removes his helmet as each attack and mind game is played.

I can taste it, the end is upon us, I swear
Gonna make it
I'm gonna make it

Soon, the helmet is off, revealing former members of the Shield, the #1 out of all of them by fans, and Seth's younger brother, Sean Rollins. Everyone was shocked. Seth in disbelief as Sean pulls out a Joker Card, giving out him being the Joker.

Then, he brutally attacks Seth with the same chair he used to attack Kane and Big Show and even drove his head through it via Curb Stomp. The video ends with him laughing, dancing in the ring and staring at Brock Lesnar before walking away.

Michael Cole is seen interviewing Seth Rollins, talking about his loss in the Royal Rumble in the Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Then, he asks the question everyone was asking.

Michael: Seth. Everyone wants to know about this, though I'm not sure if you should respond...how did you feel when Sean Rollins came back, won the Rumble Match, and revealed to be the one that was causing a lot of chaos to the Authority?

Seth looks down as he gave a deep sigh. The memories of that night and the ones before it were haunting. The kidnapping, assaults, mind games, chaos, and the reveal were too much. And seeing Sean's angry face, one that no one, not even Seth himself has seen before, was disturbing. Even more as his laugh, dancing, and lack of fear when he stared at Brock Lesnar.

Without saying a word, Seth got up, grabs his briefcase, and walks off with Cole watching him leave.

*Smackdown, January 29*

J&J Security came back after weeks of therapy and hospitality from the assaults and torture of Sean Rollins. Seth is in the ring with them, cutting a promo about his match, trying to hide his emotions about his brother with Jaime and Joey doing the same. He brags about breaking Brock Lesnar's ribs and opens a challenge to any that would like to face.

Soon, Ryback came out for the challenge, but before the match even starts, J&J attacks him. Ryback quickly fights them off, but Rollins takes him down with a dropkick. They triple-team him until Erick Rowan runs down. Rowan takes J&J Security out with a double shoulder block.

Rollins quickly knees Rowan in the head before going back to Ryback. Dolph Ziggler runs down to help, but Rollins soon gets him out of the ring. Ryback recovers and goes for Shell Shocked, but J&J Security pulls him off. They escape the ring, get away from Rowan, and retreat up the ramp.

Seth laughs as he backs to the stage, not seeing J&J turning back quickly running away. Soon, he was stopped by something or someone behind him. He froze as the crowd was yelling in shock as Dolph, Eric, and Ryback looks on, eyes widen.

Suddenly, he was hit from behind and was knocked down with the crowd seeing someone above him. Seth looks up and sees Sean...holding a crowbar and looking at him with a menacing smile.

Sean: Did that hurt?

He slams the crowbar on his back as he yells out in pain.

Sean: Now, that must've hurt a lot more.

Jaime and Joey tried to get closer but one stare or smile from Sean makes them stay away. Sean lifts Seth up to his knees in front of him.

Sean: Alright. Let's clear this up, okay? What hurts more? Forehand? *hits him in the face* Or Backhand? *hits him again and a second time, as Seth goes down*

Sean chuckles as he turns to Joey and Jaime, he ran away, scared. He looks at the crowd and the other superstars, who were looking on in fear and disbelief before smiling and doing this.

He picks the MITB briefcase and quickly gets out the stage. Dolph was looking on in shock that Sean, one of his friends, became this. Ryback always thought Sean is good-hearted and harmless, but he's wrong now. Eric couldn't believe that the Sean he once fought the year before had a dark side in him.

Paramedics arrive to tend to Seth as Triple H and Stephanie arrive with them after they called security to apprehend Sean. Soon, the titantron shows Sean laughingly running through the halls, with everyone looking on as security chases him.

Soon, Reigns and Ambrose saw this and decide to join in on the chase.

Dean: Sean! Stop!

Sean didn't listen as he continues running through the parking area. He then goes inside an old station wagon.

Before security could make it, he sped away as Roman and Dean sigh in disappointment that he got away. Then, the wagon stops as they look up. Sean's hand is shown as he waves before speeding away.

Everyone couldn't believe what happened this night. This isn't the Sean Rollins everyone knew and grown to care. He's changed...changed a lot since his firing and betrayal. Roman and Dean just hope they could have the opportunity to apologize for what they did that day last year when Seth falsely accused Sean of being a traitor and a Sellout.

A/N: Hope you enjoy this chapter. Thanks for the support you gave me about my sprained ankle. Everyone needs to be careful at times.
