Summary: What if Survivor Series ended differently? (Rewrite of my fic Plan C)

Author's note: When I first watched the final match I was sure I saw Ambrose raise his shoulder (not sure what I saw now after watching it again!) so I'm going from there.

Disclaimer: I own no one you recognize. They all belong to WWE or themselves.

Dean Ambrose turned and ran at Roman Reigns ready for a clothesline but Reigns hit him with a spear. Ambrose hit the ground hard.

The referee, Charles Robinson, got into position.

Dean's shoulder popped up at the last possible second. There was an audible gasp from the audience. Roman sat back on his heels shocked that Ambrose kicked out. He even in the heat of the moment questioned the referee on the count. A lot of people thought Robinson had a fast count so Roman had to check. As he argued with the ref, Ambrose rolled him up in a small package.

A loud cheer rang out with Philips Arena as Eden Stiles announced the new WWE champion. Roman got up in disbelief and took the title from Robinson and handed it to his brother. Dean took it and Roman raised his hand as confetti rained down on both of them.

"Good job brother," Roman whispered in his ear. "Rematch?"

"You got it and don't forget,"Ambrose said, "loser buys beer tonight." He stuck his fist out and Roman hit it before leaving the ring.

Sheamus' music started playing as Roman started to leave ringside through the crowd. He stopped and turned around.

The Celtic warrior entered the ring and kicked Dean in the head. Roman went closer to ringside and watched as the ref went to make the count and Dean kicked out.

This time it was Sheamus who started arguing with the ref. Dean went up to him, kicked him in the stomach before hitting Dirty Deeds. He got the pinfall.

He raised the title high in the air and this time Roman really did leave but this time up the ramp. As he was headed up the ramp Motorhead started playing.

The CEO Triple H came out onto the stage and stared at Reigns. He didn't have a mic but he didn't need one. Camera could pick him up clearly. He said, "offer still stands." He stuck his hand out but Roman just walked away.

DDD

Notes: I like the idea of Roman winning but not keeping the title but I really wanted Dean to win. As I mentioned this is a rewrite of Plan C so it might be obvious where I'm going but I've got a few turns planned that might not go in that direction. You never know.
