Chapter 12: The Enemy of my Enemy!


=========================

Logan made it to Baltimore with both the WWE and Universal title in his possession, as soon as he got there, Hunter and Mick wanted to get a shot of him arriving with the titles, Logan agreed and put the Universal around his waist then draped the WWE title over his right shoulder, it look good and it was so cool, as soon as the show started and the pyro's went off, they played the shot of Logan walking through the halls with both the titles, the crowd loved him then just increased the noise when his music kicked in...

... Riley Knox walked out the curtain with a pleased smile on his face, Baltimore love's the Alpha and showed it, even the ones that weren't so much of fans are happy to see the WWE title back on Monday Night RAW, Riley made his way to the ring then climbed in, he tried to greet as many people as he could but he is on a timer so he needed to get in the ring and take a microphone handed to him.

Riley: So, Baltimore. What do ya wanna talk about?

The crowd cheered while he looked around, he can't help but just take this all in, it's something that he defiantly dreamed about but never thought he's ever actually do it, the WWE title on his shoulder feels a little more special then the one around his waist, even if he's the first ever Universal Champion, the WWE title has so much more prestige and it suits him better.

Riley: Last night I went over to Smackdown, I arrived at Backlash and took a chance. The briefcase was just feeling a little heavy lately so I dropped the weight for a little more gold...

Riley adjusted his shoulder where the title sat the crowd clapped and applauded him, Riley can't say he's looking forward to dropping either of the title because he's on cloud 9 right now but this moment, this feeling has a time limit he understands that, it's the only downside to being in this business, you are top of the mountain one week but then someone else should get their chance.

Riley: ... Now, I know what you're thinking. You all think that now I have the WWE title that I'd forget about the Universal title, well don't you worry. I'll be here every single week to make sure everyone back there knows that this is and always will be The Alpha's Den...

... Riley rolled his eyes as the crowd booed, he still smiled over to the ramp though as Seth came out the curtain with a mic in his hands, against what things may seem, Colby Lopez is over the moon happy for his friend Logan Kenway, Seth Rollins however hates seeing Riley Knox succeed, seeing him holding both Major titles isn't sitting right with him.

Seth: Shut the hell up!

The crowd didn't do that as he marched down to the ring, they booed him more and more while Riley chuckled stepping away from the ropes to let Seth into the ring, he didn't slide in like normally though and instead used the steps while still telling the crowd to shut up so he can talk, his attention turned to Riley when he stepped between the ropes.

Seth: This shouldn't be real! You shouldn't have those titles! They should be mine! You cheated at SummerSlam and you stole the Number #1 contender match from me! I want what I'm owed!

Seth yelled at Riley as he just stood there, WWE title still over his shoulder and Universal title around his waist, Seth was clearly high rate about the fact Riley Knox did something in the company before him, other than winning the US title, Riley held that for 350 days while Seth was Tag Team Champs with Roman, during the good old days of the SHIELD.

Riley: Firstly, I didn't cheat. I kicked your ass fair and square, secondly. You better take that base out of your voice when you talk to me...

The crowd cheered as Riley stood up to Seth, not that he'd normally sit by and let him get away with what he wants because he wouldn't, Riley's the WWE Undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion, he can't be standing around and letting people talk trash to him, Seth panted with clear aggression but didn't interrupt.

Riley: ... I'm not the weakest in the Hounds of Justice anymore. I am the Justice, I'm the one that you think about laying in bed late at night. Look at you man, you're obsessed, I live in that head rent free and you hate it!

Riley stood his ground while Seth watched him, he looked furious but that's just what Riley and Seth do, these two hate each other with a passion, Logan and Colby though, couldn't be closer outside of the ring, it's that pushing Riley to do this, the ratings for RAW has gone up since he became the face of the brand, now it's just a wait and see game to see what he'd do for Smackdown.

Riley: Everyone talks about how you stepped out from the S.H.I.E.L.D's shadow, well news flash bitch, I'm not going anywhere. Here I stand, the WWE Undisputed Heavyweight Champion...

Riley made sure that the people can see his titles, the WWE title draped over his left shoulder and the Universal around his waist, it's going to take a little time in getting used to the fact he has two belts now, much less one, he didn't even go to NXT, Logan was signed to the Main Roster straight from the Indi Circuit, not many people seem to realise that yet.

Riley: ... And I'm casting that shadow back over you. How does it feel Seth, not to only look at me and see a roguishly handsome Englishman who managed to get himself a girlfriend last weekend...

Riley is really proud of these, he didn't need to be but he knew Alexis is watching from somewhere and he wanted to brag her a little, it's as big of a surprise to him as it is to the fans, he didn't meet Alexis and think in a few weeks time he'll be calling her his girlfriend but here he is, in the middle of the ring the WWE's first ever Undisputed Heavyweight Champion yet his biggest achievement was convincing her to call him her boyfriend.

Riley: ... But to also see that, me, Riley Knox, has become more accomplished in this company then you. And I didn't even have to stab my friends in the back to do it. Just count yourself lucky I'm letting you stay in my shadow, if it was up to me, you'd be in the trash by now.

Riley was done now, pushing the mic into Seth who didn't grab it but that didn't matter since Riley walked past him anyway, bumping shoulders as he did, Seth was left there fuming about being embarrassed, he was promised the world if he turned on Riley and Roman but here they are, Seth isn't Champion, Roman's the number #1 Contender for the WWE Universal Championship and Riley is holding both that title and the WWE title, all of this, filled inside of Seth and he snapped, attacking Riley from behind.

The crowd booed as Seth really went after Riley pulling him back to the mat, making him drop the WWE title, the Universal belt still around his waist as Seth rained down hit after hit after hit, he didn't care what the fans thought right now, he's just looking to beat down on his former SHIELD brother, he did eventually let up, standing to his feet and pulling his shirt off, Logan took that chance to unclip the title, Seth took in the crowd for a minute before settling in the turnbuckle turning to see Logan now on his knees, Seth lined him up for the curb stop but came to nothing...

... The crowd didn't stay silent for long when Roman came running out the curtain and sliding into the ring, Seth went to hit him first but Roman ducked using the momentum to sprint into the ropes then rebounding just in time to catch Seth with a huge Spear...

... Roman jumped to his feet and brushed Seth out of the way, Riley held the back of his neck in the turnbuckle while the Universal title sat on the mat between them, both Riley and Roman looked down to the title, neither moved other then Riley got to his feet, still using his right hand to hold the back of his neck, the crowd applauded the two while Riley went to get his belt, roman brushed his hand through his hair till Riley went for a Superkick...

... Roman stepped out the way just in time to see him drop Seth again, this time Seth rolled out the ring and hit the mats outside, Riley looked to Roman with a small little nod, Roman gave him the same response as Riley stepped back, picking up his WWE title then asked for a microphone from the timekeepers, Roman however was left to grab the Universal title on the mat.

Riley turned back, just in time to see Roman stand up right with the Universal title in his hand, the "Big Dog" looked from the title then to Riley, the crowd can feel the intensity between them rising but Roman eventually handed the title over once Riley clipped the WWE title around his waist where the Universal title was moments ago, Riley took the title from Roman before the two remained in the ring.

Riley: I don't know about you Roman but I'm getting sick of Seth and Hunter getting into our business...

The crowd cheered as Riley looked to Roman who was just about to climb out the ring but stopped when Riley spoke to him, the Big Dog didn't even turn around to face him, just glance over his shoulder to the Undisputed Champion, Riley smirked knowing that he has Roman's attention but he also knew not to waste his time and just get to the point, so he did.

Riley: ... What do you say we push our title match to Hell in the Cell and put these two down at Clash?

Riley isn't saying that Roman won't get his title shot, Roman won that number #1 Contenders match and Riley's going to honour that, he just knows that with Hunter and Seth breathing down their necks, they're not going to get the match-up they want together, neither are the fans, Hunter and Seth will get involved in that fight, that's what they're trying to avoid.

Roman: I'm in.

The crowd cheered while Riley and Roman shared a half assed fist bump, they are still enemies when it comes to the title but they have respect for the other, enough respect to put their match to the side to deal with a common enemy, in this term, there's two of them and together their willing to put them down for good.

Riley: What do you say Hunter? You have what it takes to face us, two on two...

... Riley and Roman turned to the entrance ramp while Seth climbed his way up the walkway, selling the Spear and the Superkick, he was stopped by Hunter at the stage, wearing his usual suit with a mic in his left hand, his right hand reached around Seth's shoulders while he tried to stand tall above everyone here in Baltimore.

Hunter: Riley, you should slow your roll and shut your mouth for a second. You might hold those belts but you need to remember who signs your paychecks...

Riley and Roman did their own thing, Riley stood with both his titles, the WWE belt around his waist and the Universal draped over his right shoulder, Roman however paced back and forward a little as they listened to their boss, well, Roman listened, Riley wanted to poke the bear a little more.

Riley: Your wife does.

The crowd loved that, Hunter gave a small frustrated sigh while looking down to the floor, Roman broke character a little but hid it behind his hand, Riley saw it though, he shouldn't be going off script but he couldn't resist making that little dig right there, kind of adds to his character though right, he doesn't take anyone's shit and such.

Hunter: ... It's nice to see you two are on the same page, because you might be able to lay down the challenge, but I'm going to lay down the rules.

Seth removed a hand from his neck now only has his left cuddled across his body, selling the spear while Hunter stepped forward a little more, a couple of steps so now standing on the top of the ramp, neither Riley nor Roman seemed bothered by that whatsoever, nor does the crowd here right now in Baltimore.

Hunter: You want to fight us at Clash of Champions, let's say we agree, if you lose, Roman, I'll ship you back to NXT and Riley...

Roman didn't look to happy about that to be fair, standing still for the first time since Hunter came out here, flicking his left hand a little, Riley nudged him and told him not to worry about it while the crowd waited to hear what Riley's punishment would be if this match does happen, would he be stripped of the titles, would he be suspended, none of those.

Hunter: ... You'll be fired.

Riley stopped and turned to Hunter, Triple H smiled to him the entire time as Seth seemed to have his second wind, jumping and cheering with that annoying laugh he has, it was now Roman's turn to pat Riley on his back silently telling him they got this, Riley used his forearm to wipe his jaw before pushing that to the back burner.

Riley: Your empty threats don't scare me old man, stop stalling and agree to fight!

Riley dropped the mic this time, not having anything else to say, Roman nodded while the crowd encouraged Hunter to accept the challenge, they want to see this put to bed, if that means they need to wait for Knox vs Reigns for the title then so be it, they want to see half of SHIELD get their payback on the people that stabbed them in the backs.

Seth: You're on!

Hunter looked at Seth while he clutched onto the mic Hunter is holding, Roman and Riley liked that and took it as did the crowd, so now, at Clash of Champions it will be Roman and Riley taking on Seth and Triple H, with pretty risky stipulations, if Riley losses then he'll be fired...
