After my boss demanded me to be on the show on Thursday after hearing the tragic news, I had no other choice. Thankfully, Ambrose stayed to watch her so she wasn't alone. I hated having to leave her inside of a hospital while I was heading over to the ring. I had to pack my things and board the airport to the arena.

"I'm so sorry, Ashley." I said to myself and started to board the plane and made my way to the arena hours later.

I walked into the office and Vince informed me that I had to team-up with Daniel Bryan and face many superstars with him in tag-team action called a "tag-team turmoil" for half of the showtime. Something was up.

"Great." I sighed.

The authority was definitely up to something and I had a gut-wrenching feeling in my stomach the entire time. But what?

SmackDown - February 12, 2015

The show began and I waited half an hour until I had to make my way down the crowd after seeing Daniel Bryan standing in the ring. I made my entrance and I wasn't in the best of moods. They showed a recap of Monday when I was furious with Daniel and that killed the mood once more.

I stood in the ring with Daniel until I heard Miz and Damien Sandow come out to the ring to face the both of us. I stepped over the rope and waited to be tagged. Unfortunately, I kept losing my train of thought during the night.

I watched as Daniel and Miz went at each others' throats and began throwing punches and kicks. The look on Daniel's face made me smile for the first time in forever. He tagged me in and I stepped back into the ring. I threw some punches to his head and looked Daniel in the eyes, "I'm smarter than you!"

I moved the hair from my face and decided to tag in Daniel because I started to become bored of fighting Miz back-to-back. I watched Daniel step back into the ring and Miz tagged in Sandow. I stood at the corner of the ring post, unimpressed and bored until I tagged myself back into the match. I looked at Daniel and cocked my fist and hit Damien Sandow with the Superman Punch and was getting fired up to hit him with a Spear to win the match until he tagged himself back into the match. I heavily sighed and looked at Daniel with a smile and began laughing at him. I felt as if he was jealous of me.

Daniel made the crowd chant "YES" and hit Sandow with the Running Knee and got the pinfall.

The next tag-team came out and it happened to be my cousins, The Usos. It felt weird having to face my cousins like they were enemies to me on the show when we were close to each other. I looked disappointed and watched Daniel face Jimmy whilst he started to throw him around and stepped on him. Jimmy tried grabbing Daniel from behind and Daniel reversed and grabbed his arm and screamed in agony. Then Jey scurried into the ring and they both performed a Superkick onto Daniel and attempted a pinfall and he kicked out.

As Daniel kicked out, Jimmy and I kept staring at him. I had a blank expression on my face. I wanted to wrestle with my cousin so I reached my hand out to Daniel in hopes he'd be smart enough to tag me into the match.

"I know what they can do!" I said to him as he looked at me and tagged me in.

I stared at Jimmy while he was beginning to warm up and before my opponent could attack me, I reversed and quickly tackled him down onto the canvas. Jimmy tagged his brother, Jey, into the match and he kept smiling.

He grabbed me into a chokehold. I struggled to break the hold and tackled him onto the canvas like I did with Jimmy. They both had a chance to get into the ring and they had me on the ground and threw me off from the top rope and I fell backwards, standing on my two feet at the barricade.

Later in the match, Daniel stood there and laughed at me. I heard my cousins chanting "Uce!" To get the crowd riled up and on their feet while they were pointing at him. I kept looking towards them and then over at the WrestleMania sign.

"It's the grandest stage of them all!" Jerry Lawler said on commentary.

"And that's just having a match at WrestleMania. A match of being in the main event."

I walked around the ring and couldn't help but to stare at the sign. I was distracted and my mind was running around thinking of Ashley and how she was doing. Daniel desperately wanted to be in the match because I was distracted. I looked at him and tagged him in since my mind kept making me lose focus onto the match.

Daniel went into the ring and picked Jimmy off of his feet as his back hit the canvas. I just stood there and watched my cousins wrestle him. Daniel hit Jimmy with an Uppercut and kept hitting him in the ribs with his knees.

"Come on, Uce!" Jey shouted.

I wandered my eyes around the ring and watched Jimmy pummel Daniel to the ground and nearly got the pinfall. I stood there and had one foot on the bottom rope with my hand on the top while I watched Jimmy headbutt Daniel's stomach.

Jimmy and Jey were close to performing their finisher and he scurried out of the ring and wanted me to wrestle my cousins again. I walked over and stood on the steel steps, looking confused.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

Daniel paused.

"Are you taking a break?" I asked again with no response.

I tagged myself in and dealt with Jimmy holding me down in a chokehold. I quickly reversed and put my back towards Daniel as he tagged himself in and he insisted on kicking down Jimmy and I went back to waiting to be tagged in.

"Watch me do a Suplex." Daniel shouted.

Daniel hit Jimmy with a Lusterplex and I started laughing at him. I watched my cousins throw Daniel around and repeatedly kick him in the chest.

During the match, Daniel hit Jimmy in the head and began tossing him around as he shouted like he was beginning to sound like he was in pain. I stepped off the ropes and approached them. I pushed Daniel away from my cousin and he began to get into my face and shout.

"Uh-oh." Lawler said with concern on commentary.

"He's hurt!" I shouted.

"What are you doing?" Daniel asked.

"He's hurt!" I repeated myself.

"We gotta win!"

"You can't win out here!"

"We gotta win!" Daniel began repeating himself once again.

"Get him in the ring, and do it the right way!"

"We'll get him in the ring alright." He said with sarcasm.

Daniel got in my face, "Don't you ever get in my face again!"

"Don't put your hands on me." I shouted.

Daniel took Jimmy back into the ring and hit him with a simple Dropkick. I looked at him unimpressed. He looked at me with his fingers in the air getting the crowd to chant "YES" with him. Daniel proceeded to look over at me and tried to get the pinfall and he kicked out.

I stood here with boredom. Daniel continued to plead for me to get tagged into the match. I stood there with the cockiest smile on my face.

"I don't really feel like it."

He gave up and began wrestling Jimmy as I stood there and watched. I've never felt this unmotivated to wrestle before, but everything just kept running through my mind ever since Monday.

"Roman Reigns is a little sensitive of the fact that his cousins are in there. Bryan is enjoying punishing them even more!" Byron Saxton said.

Daniel managed to get Jimmy into his submission move, The Yes Lock, as he held a tighter grip onto Jimmy and he tapped out and we won the match against them.

I noticed that he wouldn't let go of my cousin. I quickly made my way back into the ring and shoved him away.

"He tapped, he tapped! You saw it!"

Daniel began talking back at me and I didn't feel like arguing with him.

"You did it out of spite. He tapped out!"

"He Superkicked you in the face; he Superkicked me in the face!" Daniel shouted.

While we were arguing, Los Matadores came out with El Torito. I went to the other side of the ropes and let Daniel take care of this part of the match. He hit Daniel and flipped him over while looking up at him. I reached my hand out to get the tag and he avoided me. Daniel started to perform another submission maneuver on Matadores and he tapped out.

The next tag-team was Heath Slater and Titus O'Neil. I tagged myself into the ring and went for Heath Slater and tackled him onto the ground; hitting him with a right arm. I picked him up and performed the Samoan Drop and then prepared for the Superman Punch to Titus O'Neil. Daniel looked at me with disbelief as I speared Heath Slater to the canvas with annoyance written all over my face.

"Reigns looking right at his partner. Look what I can do!" Michael Cole said.

We waited for the next tag-team and I looked at him explaining that I was the better wrestler. We kept having childish arguments back and forth until The Ascension came out to face us. We came to an agreement that we need to win this tag-team turmoil match and we watched them make their way into the ring. I allowed Daniel to start off the match.

They went for Daniel with punches and throwing him around like a ragdoll. I felt them beginning to grab me and throw me against the announcement table. They didn't hesitate and threw me to the ring post as I collapsed to the ground and found out that we were disqualified. Connor and Viktor picked me up after I fell to the floor and many referees came into the ring and took them away.

Kane and Big Show were our last tag-team to wrestle. Of course, The Authority. Daniel and I looked over at them making their entrance while we were exhausted from our previous matches tonight.

We managed to get back on our feet and I offered to start off the match with Kane until the bell rung. I looked over at Kane and he kicked me and he started to hit me in the back of my vest. I kicked out when he tried to get the pinfall on me. Nice try, Kane.

Daniel was holding onto the ropes anxiously. I started hitting Kane in the face with my forearm and I ran towards him and hit him with a Clothesline. I had enough for awhile and Daniel offered me to tag him in. I stood at the side of the ring and holding onto the ropes.

I watched as Daniel performed Yes Kicks onto Kane as he was on the ground. Kane quickly stood up and walked over to Big Show and he tagged him in. Big Show picked up Daniel and drove him to the ring post as he collapsed to the ground like I did earlier.

My body was in pain and I felt determined to get in there and win the match as I watched Daniel being manhandled by Big Show in the ring while he proceeded to pick him up and drop him onto the canvas. I finally felt ready to be tagged in until Big Show picked up Daniel and hit me with an elbow and once again, I fell from the apron.

Big Show picked up Daniel to Chokeslam him and he quickly reversed the move. Daniel quickly got him into the Yes Lock until Kane broke up the submission.

"What are you doing?" Kane asked.

"I don't know." Big Show said, feeling defeated.

"What are you doing?" Kane asked again.

Big Show shouted, "He got lucky! Get out of my damn face! Get out, I'll handle this! It's not all about you!"

Kane went to touch Big Show on the back and looked back at him with aggression. He hit Kane in the chest and knocked him out. I went in for the Spear and Daniel got the crowd to chant "YES" and hit him with the Running Knee and he got the pinfall. After an entire hour of wrestling, I was exhausted.

After we won, I felt like the authority was slowly imploding. This felt like a huge sign of relief on my behalf. Daniel and I looked up at the WrestleMania sign in front of us and grinned. We both headed to our locker-rooms to shower and relax afterwards for the night.
