❝ i made you a thing, like, 'who's that guy?' ❞

          CHRISTMAS had always been Phoebe's favourite time of the year. Perhaps it had to do with the snow and hot chocolate. Or that she adored sitting by the fireplace watching old Christmas movies, snuggled up in a blankets in an oversized sweatshirt and thigh high socks, where she then would complain about being cold and to lazy to put on proper pants. Or maybe it was because it was filled with love and trust.

This time around she not only had gone back with her brother and his girlfriend, but a few of her friends had tagged along seeing as how Raw would happen to take place down in Chicago that week. Which led to her other friends coming over to her house before they were off back home.

Since arriving to her home town she had received a substantial amount of love from the Chicago fans. Normally, on a good day, she'd get mixed reactions as did her brother. She didn't quite understand why, not that she honestly cared though, maybe some didn't like hearing the truth. Or they didn't want to hear it from her.

She was the longest reigning NXT Divas champion, her next target was the Divas Championship that was currently being held by Nikki Bella. Unfortunately.

Tonight, however, was going to be different.

They were in Phoebe's hometown. Her brother would be going up against The Shield, with some unlikely alliance with John Cena and Big E. Where as Phoebe would be teaming up with her best friend, AJ Lee.

Phoebe walked the backstage halls of the arena, she smiled lightly seeing crew members speak of their plans for the holiday season alongside a few Divas. Her doe eyes rolled at the familiar bright red hair of Eva Marie who spoke to Natalya.

"Hey." Natalya greeted with a warm smile, "Check out the line-up, think I saw your name up there. Oh! And happy holidays!" She chirped.

Phoebe smiled at her words, "Thanks, and you too Nat." She nodded briefly glancing to Eva who twirled her hair ignoring the brunette's presence.

Her heeled boots hit the floor only to come to a halt seeing her good friend, Colby Lopez exiting Stephanie McMahon's office, alone. Her brows slightly raised as she approached his tall figure.

"Hey." She tapped his arm startling him.

"Jesus, Phoebe." He placed his hand on his chest, letting out a chuckle. "What's up?" He asked.

"Nothing, going to see whats happening tonight, you?" She glanced to the large door behind him then to him. "Jon and Joe, not with you?"

Colby cleared his throat and shook his head, "Uh, nah. She and Hunter just wanted to go over tonight's match. Told me to tell them when I see them." He shrugged, "Uh, hey I actually wanted to talk to you." He said quietly glancing around the hallway.

Phoebe's brows furrowed, nodding she pulled him to a nearby secluded hallway.

"What's up?"

"Tonight, we're supposed to attack you. After your match, Kane's gonna go out there and spew some bullshit over the mic because of what happened last week on Smackdown." He explained as Phoebe's eyes widened, "I know. Just trust me when I say I have a plan."

Phoebe parted her lips and looked up at him in confusion. "I don't-"

"Trust me." He raised his gloved hand in front of her face holding out his pinky towards her.

Looking between his finger to his reassuring eyes, she nodded slowly and attached her's with his own. "I trust you."

PHOEBE and April had checked the line up after Colby had approached her earlier explaining his plan to her for that night. Her tag team match had been changed to a one on one match between herself and Nikki and it had also been shortened. She had been told to make the pace of her's and Nikki's match to a quick one compared to their normal momentum filled one, also that April was not allowed at ringside.

April had simply stated that she had been so far up The Authorities' ass that she'd never argue or express her feelings on the matter. She had also mentioned she had noticed the brunette hanging around John Cena lately, which didn't surprise her in all honesty.

Currently the two women were watching the monitors where Phil and Renee did their segment for their match against The Shield later that night.

Phoebe let out a small smile watching her brother ramble to the blonde who tried her hardest not to smile at his words.

"-two days away from Christmas. And The Shield is trying to ruin Christmas. I don't know what they've got planned, so I did something that CM Punk has never done. I've asked for help. I know what you're thinking, oh you're a loner, you're the lone wolf. I had to do something drastic." He expressed. Renee nodded in amusement, "So, I made a list and I checked it twice, I actually asked Santa Claus for help. And you just saw good Santa save Christmas, and in two days before Christmas he's already come through. He's delivered to me two tag team partners against The Shield. Let me bring in the first one, Intercontinental Champion, Big E Langston!" Phil tapped the man's chest as the camera panned over to the large man.

"This season, I'm handing out beatings."

"He's handing out beatings, just like Santa Claus is handing me gifts in the form of tag team partners. I gotta bring in the third one, here he is ladies and gentlemen, hustle loyalty and respect, John Cena!"

John came in excitement just as the crowd out in the arena cheered.

"Let me tell ya somethin' Punker. He may seem down now, but when the time is right Big E will release the Langston. Oh yes, and what you guys don't know is I found The Shield's Christmas list. That's right they crumpled it up, they threw it in the trash, but I got my hands on it and I couldn't think of a better match then for tonight, because we're going to give them everything they need. Big E, all Roman Reigns wants is for you to knock his teeth in."

"Imma give it to him!" Big E said in happiness.

Phoebe snorted next to April who shook her head in amusement.

"Argh! And Seth Rollins, Seth Rollins simply needs an Attitude Adjustment!" John exclaimed, "And, Dean Ambrose . . . He must have been awake for days cause all he wants is to Go To Sleep."

John raised his fist much like The Shield does, as did Phil, then Big E.

"Believe In That."

Phoebe shook her head as the screen went black.

"So, what do they have planned for later?" April questioned turning to Phoebe.

"I don't know." Phoebe shrugged, "He just said to trust him."

April rose a brow, "Cryptic."

"Tell me about it."

𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐛𝐞'𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 . . .

PHOEBE stood in the gorilla watching as Nicole clutched her title to her chest with a glare. She was clearly not a fan of the fact she had to go up against Phoebe. Though, she was happy April wasn't allowed by ringside.

April however continued to glare and grumble about the brunette twins, across from her and her best friend.

"If you need me, you know my ass will be out there within seconds. Disqualification or not, I don't give a shit." April nodded confidently to the brunette.

"Still, don't get why you're banned from ringside."

"Maybe it's cause of last week, but she was causing a distraction first. And they're known for their distractions, God, I can't stand them and their suck up filled asses."

Phoebe shrugged, "Well, I'll send a message to them from you." She smirked.

"Nikki, you're on."

Nikki rolled her neck and nodded standing next to her sister.

Was chanted throughout the arena loudly.

Bringing a bright smile to the brunette's face as she listened to the crowd just behind the curtain.

The chants came to a chorus of boo's however, once the intro of Nikki's theme began.

https://youtu.be/KRyQf7PJJaI

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, accompanied by Brie Bella. From Scottsdale, Arizona, she is The Divas Champion, Nikki Bella!" Lilian's voice rang throughout the arena.

"I'm gonna watch from here." April said to the brunette who nodded.

Nikki's theme came to a halt. The crowd grew quiet only to be riled up once more returning to their chants.

Letting out a breath, she adjusted her cropped shirt that read, 'Little Miss Grinchmass.' Nodding to herself she walked through the midnight coloured curtains. Her heart beat was silenced over the cheers and screams of the audience before her.

"And her opponent, from Chicago Illinois, Phoebe Brooks!" Lilian announced with a smile.

With a small smirk, her nerves vanished away. Phoebe walked to the ramp looking to the crowd before her. Raising her hands showcasing her bandaged hands.

Raising her arms in the air she walked down the ramp to the ring. She ran forwards stopping herself against the ring apron and placing her hand beneath her chin listening to the chants around her.

With a nod she pushed herself off the apron and skipped to her left around the ring, listening to the chants grow louder by the second.

𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐄𝐁𝐄

𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐄𝐁𝐄

𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐄𝐁𝐄

Coming to the side of the ring she hopped onto the apron and walked over climbing up the turnbuckle and placed her hands below her ear.

"BEST IN THE WORLD!" She shouted signalling the crowds screams.

With a bright smile she removed her shirt tossing it to the front row.

Phoebe hopped off the turnbuckle and skipped around the ring as Nikki and Brie stood off in the corner rolling their eyes at the petite brunette.

Her music faded resulting in the chants to be much more clear.

She looked behind the commentators desk and blew a kiss to the woman in black who stood there next to a equally shorter woman with bright smiles. Her mother and grandmother.

𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐄𝐁𝐄

𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐄𝐁𝐄

Phoebe stood in the middle of the ring as Nikki stood in front of her now, both glaring at one another.

𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 . . .

Phoebe laid on the apron breathlessly.

The shouts of Brie Bella's voice echoed through her ears.

She crawled to the corner of the ring near the turnbuckle and rested her head against the rope and slowly stood up. With narrowed eyes she watched Nikki stand up across from her.

Phoebe ran forwards wrapping her leg around Nikki's neck, the other tucked behind one of her legs and her hands pulled her arms backwards; performing, Black Widow.

Nikki cried out as Phoebe pulled her arms back more and more.

"Tap! Nikki!" Phoebe taunted. "I can do this all day, Nik."

Nikki's hand hit the back of Phoebe's bottom repeatedly. Just as the bell rang signalling the match was over with.

"Here is your winner, Phoebe Brooks!" Lilian announced.

Phoebe raised her hand with a smirk as Brie pulled her sister out of the ring clutching her sister's title against her chest just as Kane's music hit startling all three woman and the crowd.

"Fuck." Phoebe cursed under her breath looking at the stage as Kane - corporate Kane, walked down the ramp a mic in his hand. The cheers that had been shown towards Phoebe was now boo's towards the large man in a suit.

Standing her ground she watched as he entered the ring, his music fading away.

Phoebe's jaw clenched and unclenched as she watched him walk around her signalling to the time keeper's area to hand him another mic.

He handed her one of the two.

Before he could utter a word through the mic, the boo's intensified.

"Congratulations on your win tonight, Phoebe." Kane nodded to the woman.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓

"I don't need your formalities." Phoebe snorted, "I know these people sure as hell would much rather have Asking Alexandria continuing to blast through the arena whilst celebrating my win over the reality television wannabes."

Kane bobbed his head as the crowd cheered agreeing with the Chicago Native.

"Oh, shut up!" Nikki shouted from outside the ring.

Kane shook his head in slight annoyance. "I am not here to insult you or argue with you. I am here to announce that here in the WWE, we do not take bullying and cheating so lightly." Phoebe scoffed at the man's words. "You and AJ were probably wondering as to why she was banned from ringside tonight." Phoebe nodded, "We must protect our most valued Superstars and Divas-" Boo's echoed even more so. "Our most valued Superstars and Divas, meaning our champions. It's not personal, it's only business. Reason being why if this sort of behaviour continues we will be forced to remove you from the Contenders spot for the Divas Championship." He concluded.

A chorus of boo's and angered fan's shouted at the man.

"Not personal? Not-" Phoebe asked shaking her head in disbelief. "Since my brother left this company taking his title with him it's been everything and anything but business. It's always been personal! Putting him in handicap matches with not just your Hounds Of Justice, or as we Chicagoans like to put it, bitches." Phoebe turned to the camera and shrugged, "Oops, there goes the PG for tonight's segment." Turning to an angered Kane once more she brought the mic to her lips once more. "Making him lose his title. Now, you're going to take my opportunities that I work my ass off for, too? I came back to start an Evolution. AJ and I, are here to change this division into something meaningful."

"If that is the case feel free to take it up with Stephanie-"

"Right! Because she's the daughter of the one who signs our pay checks. Right? Because you're not in charge." Phoebe let out a chuckle, "Like, The Shield, you're just their personal lap dog. Only to do their dirty work. You're like John Laurinaitis 2.0 . . ." Phoebe walked closer to the man and twirled his blood red tie between her manicured nails. "Useless and pathetic."

With a smirk she flicked his tie back stepping away from the reddened monster.

"No! You do not speak about this business that way. We do things the way it needs to be done and when you cross or break those boundaries, consequences is something The Authority doesn't dwell on. And, for that we will be taking action."

Phoebe swallowed harshly looking between the man and to the twins who walked backwards on the ramp with smirks. Phoebe slowly backed up and turned around seeing The Shield men hopping over the barricade.

The three hopped up onto the apron starring at the brunette whose jaw ticked. She glanced to Colby whose hard eyes remained locked on her figure, though a glimmer of reassurance could be seen his dark eyes.

The trio entered the ring as Kane nodded to the three men.

Phoebe could hear the disbelief coming from the commentators desk as to what was going on before them. The boo's of the Chicago crowd grew by the second. Chants of her brother's name echoed through her ears, but with the amount of noise that came from throughout the arena a part of her felt as if she was imagining it all.

"You can't be serious?" Phoebe questioned in disbelief looking towards Kane.

"It's just business." Jon shouted over the chaotic crowd.

"Now, I'm not the type of man to put my hands on a woman, therefore these three were happy enough to offer to do so." He explained walking forwards.

"Don't you mean ordered?" She remarked with a look of disgust.

The reassuring thought of Colby saving her slowly diminishing by the second.

Colby raised his gloved hand towards Phoebe signalling he wanted the microphone from her.

𝐂𝐌 𝐏𝐔𝐍𝐊

𝐂𝐌 𝐏𝐔𝐍𝐊

Shakily with a glare she shoved the black mic into his vest covered chest.

"I see that look in your eyes, Phoebs." He towered over her frame. She glanced to her right hoping and wondering where the hell her brother had gone. "Your brother isn't coming to save you." He taunted raising his gloved fingers and twirling a strand of her long brown hair.

𝐂𝐌 𝐏𝐔𝐍𝐊

𝐂𝐌 𝐏𝐔𝐍𝐊

"The Shield always does . . ." Colby said slowly moving his face closer to her own. Phoebe held her ground as his face was merely inches away from her own. "What's best for business."

Colby walked backwards next to Joseph who stood next to Jonathan.

The trio slowly turned around towards Kane who wore a look of confusion. His smile faltering as he looked at the trio.

𝐘𝐄𝐒

𝐘𝐄𝐒

𝐘𝐄𝐒

Phoebe bent down and grasped the mic in her hand, "Looks like The Authority is about to lose one more bitch." With a smirk she removed the mic from her lips. "Pipe bomb!" She smiled brightly dropping the mic to the apron.

"What do you think you're doing?" Kane demanded looking between the three shaking his head. "You three listen to me! You don't know anything about this business! Do you understand me? Huh?!" He shouted in Joseph's face.

The three men ran forwards jumping Kane as Phoebe watched from the corner.

Kane shoved the trio back.

Seth ran forwards only for him to be grabbed by his throat by Kane.

Phoebe super kicked the large man allowing Kane to stumble back. Colby pele kicked him sending him down to his knees only for him to weakly get back up to be speared by Joseph.

Colby and Jon picked the man up onto their shoulders as Joseph let out a war cry.

He nodded to Phoebe who widened her eyes up at her friend shaking her head. Rolling his eyes playfully he pulled her next to him, the four sending Kane down to the mat harshly.

The four looked to one another, the three placed their fists against one another over Kane's limp body.

The three turned to Phoebe and nodded to their raised fists.

𝐘𝐄𝐒

𝐘𝐄𝐒

𝐘𝐄𝐒

Phoebe glanced to the audience who shouted yes chants towards the four. With a smile she raised her own smaller fist against Colby's gloved one.

And with that one gesture.

A new era would begin.
