Roman and I walked back into the hotel and checked the both of us into a room. I started feeling tired after tonight. I competed in a match against Paige earlier and it took the breath out of me. With Roman, I really missed him; even if we were apart for a few hours.

As we got into our hotel room, I crashed onto the bed and almost fell asleep until Roman's phone woke me up with a loud ringtone erupting into my eardrum.

"Babe, I think someone's calling you."

"Can you take it, sweetie? I'm about to make us something to eat."

I was surprised that he wanted me to answer the phone for him. The person that was calling happened to be Dean and I immediately put it onto speaker so the both of us could talk to him.

"Hello?" I said.

"Ash? Why are you on Roman's phone?" He asked.

Roman chuckled. "I'm cooking dinner!"

"Well, I don't think you should cook right now, Rome."

"Why not?" He replied, cocking an eyebrow from across the room.

"Well, something happened earlier after you both left the arena." Renee added.

"What happened?" I asked.

"I was about to take Renee out to the movies after SmackDown and all of a sudden, I seen Seth throwing John Cena against the wall after their match tonight and demanded to know where you and Roman went as the show ended."

"Wait, what?" Roman stopped and walked over to me and picked up the phone, "Why is he picking on John for?"

"I don't know, man. And what makes it worse is that we heard him also tell John that he is coming for you and Roman. I'm here for you guys, but if he crosses paths with me, he's finished. If John asks, I'll tell him what's going on if you don't mind."

"Ash, do you mind?" Roman looked at me while he asked.

"No, I don't mind at all." I shook my head. "I just don't want Seth to come into contact with me after everything that's transpired lately."

"Renee and I needed to tell you guys because Seth was going berserk after the show. I didn't want you guys to get hurt and if need be, I will kick his ass. Nobody messes with my two best friends and gets away with it."

"Thanks, Ambrose. I'm going to cook Ashley and I some dinner and head to sleep in a couple of hours. If something comes up, let us know."

"I promise. I'll see you guys in the morning." Dean said before hanging up.

Roman accidentally let a small sigh escape from his mouth, sitting next to me and putting his hands on his face as he felt defeated.

"I'm so sorry this is happening. I blame myself." Ashley said.

"Why are you blaming yourself? This isn't your fault. He's going psychotic all because I'm your boyfriend from the looks of it. I don't know what's going on through that thick head of his; but I can reassure you that he will never touch you again and if he does, he might end up in the hospital because I'm not letting someone else put their hands on the woman I love."

"Seth must have something he's feeling towards us. Maybe jealousy?" I wondered.

"I don't know about that. He's never done this before until you came to the main roster."

He had a point that he's never acted this erratic before until I joined the main roster. I started worrying a little after the small conversation that we had.

Roman
Ever since Ashley debuted on Raw about half a year ago, Seth was acting very strange. Kidnapping Ashley and traumatizing her in the process? I needed to take action soon. I continued cooking her food and began overthinking recently about everything that has happened. I had to keep it together because we had the Rumble next weekend and I need to be mentally and physically focused.

While handing her the dinner, I watched her take a few bites and asked, "Do you still enjoy my cooking?"

"Of course I do. You ask me this all the time." She started laughing at me, jokingly.

"Well, I always want to make sure that my cooking is good for you, babe." I said.

SmackDown - January 15, 2015

Ambrose and I were scheduled for a 6-Man Tag-Team match as it was us with Daniel Bryan against Kane, Seth, and Big Show. Basically team authority.

"I'm going after Seth." Ambrose said while I went after Big Show.

I watched Ambrose head-butt Seth repeatedly on the head. I kept punching Big Show in the face while Daniel took care of Kane. During the match, Ambrose was in the ring and trying to tag me and had trouble walking. He was holding onto the ropes as Big Show came and swept him off his feet and I hit him with a Superman Punch. Unfortunately, Seth came up and Dropkicked me in the face. I watched Ambrose get back in the ring and Seth began grabbing his foot and he was able to tag-in Daniel.

"YES, YES, YES!" Lawler said on commentary while Bryan came in and threw Kane off the side of the ring and hit Seth in the face while the crowd was chanting with every punch. Daniel performed the Suicide Dive onto Kane and used the ropes to his advantage to knock Seth down onto the canvas.

I watched Big Show taking off the top of the announcers table and I immediately went in for the Spear and knocked him on the table while we both collapsed and felt exhausted. Ambrose knocked down J&J security from the ring with punches and threw Seth from the top rope. He climbed to the top and jumped whilst knocking them down with his elbow.

Daniel Bryan knocked out Kane with a Running Knee and got the pinfall. We were extremely relieved. The authority wasn't in a great mood all night after what had happened until Hunter came out and was talking directly to Daniel Bryan.

"You got lucky tonight, but I got a feeling your luck's gonna run out. Next Thursday right here on SmackDown, I think Kane deserves a rematch. When you lose, you're gonna lose your opportunity to compete in the Royal Rumble match."

It wasn't just Ashley, Ambrose and I that were dealing with the authority's power. It was the majority of the entire roster, too, and everybody kept getting screwed over right from left. Whether it was title matches, opportunities, and their booking. I didn't like how they treated everyone else in the back. I was all about fairness and giving everyone opportunities unlike the authority. Soon, this authority bullshit will end for good.
