A/N: Sometimes things that aren't supposed to happen on or before the Tv show starts happen.
Royal Rumble 2016, Amway Center…
"At the way this Royal Rumble match is going, someone's gonna get hurt! Note that Amanda is the only female wrestler in there and she has eliminated 5 more wrestlers in the past 7 minutes, using her small stature to her advantage and occasionally ganging up with some of the wrestlers but it's everyone for themselves in there! She's lasted for almost 40 minutes in there!" Michael Cole said before Amanda was dropkicked against the ropes.
"Would your dead friend Chris Benoit and his murdered family be proud of you now, you bitch?!" Kevin yelled, the rage surfacing in Amanda and boiling over.
"Damn! She almost got eliminated there!" Jerry responded, seeing the look in Amanda's eyes. "Uh oh, she's pissed off now!" He said as Amanda let out an enraged yell.
Amanda did what Dean usually would, bouncing back up against the ropes and ran at Kevin Owens, crash tackling him and knocking him down, repeatedly slamming her fists into his face and grabbing Kevin by the collar of his shirt, repeatedly bashing Kevin's head against the mat… even when Kevin was screaming painfully, Amanda didn't stop until Sami Zayn pulled her off to try to calm her down.
"Damn it, Mandy! Calm down, kiddo!" Sami said as Amanda tried to get out of his grip, Sami eventually letting her go.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that is not the sweet, kind hearted Amanda we all know and love! When she gets enraged, she turns into someone else!" Jerry replied.
"She has a damn good reason to be enraged, Kevin Owens has pushed her too far!" Michael responded as Kevin stood up, his nose bleeding and him directing his rage at Michael and Jerry after sliding out through the middle and top ropes, charging over and scaring them by banging his hands on the table.
"I pushed her too far?! I fucking pushed her too far?! Bullshit! Look at what she did to me!" Kevin shouted.
"You did push her too damn far! Throwing it back in her-" Jerry yelled, jumping back as Amanda slid through the first and middle ropes and jumped at Owens, bashing his head against the table repeatedly before throwing Kevin against the barricade and bashing his head against it until Sami slid out of the ring and Finn ran down to the ring area, both managing to pull Amanda off of Kevin.
"You're gonna go and throw their deaths back in my face, you prick?! That's what's gonna happen!" Amanda yelled at Kevin as Sami and Finn dragged her away from the ring, paramedics tending to Kevin as the other wrestlers remained in a shocked state in the ring, having been horrified at what they'd just seen from Amanda.
In the backstage area, Amanda was cuddled up in Finn's arms after she had worn herself out and Finn lightly brushed Amanda's shoulder length hair back.
He knew that Kevin had gone too far tonight…
Present time, American Airlines Arena, January 25th 2016, Finn Balor vs Baron Corbin, dark match before Raw…
She took the chair and slammed it over Baron's head… and the seat of it flew up and off into the crowd, Amanda checking on Finn as Baron stood up to try to get the chair off of his head.
Amanda helped Finn sit up… and Finn saw the chair around Baron's neck and laughed.
"You really pissed him off now, Darlin'." Finn responded as Amanda saw how the chair ended up and laughed herself.
"I didn't mean for it to turn out like that but you had it coming, Corbin." Amanda replied after helping Finn up to his feet and his left arm wrapping around her back as Baron got the broken chair off of him.
"Did you really try and hit me with a chair, Mandy?" Baron questioned, while holding it in his hands.
"You were hitting him like a fucking madman!" Amanda responded.
"Mouth, young lady." Finn jokingly admonished… and then saw the rage in Baron's eyes. "We're outta here!" He responded before grabbing Amanda's right hand and the two bolting from the ring and up the ramp as Baron chased them.
But as Baron reached the backstage area, he almost crashed into Yukie.
"You okay after that?" Yukie asked.
"Where'd they go?!" Baron replied.
"Look, she's just trying to keep him from getting hurt." Yukie responded.
"Why? He's okay. There's nothing wrong with him!" Baron explained.
"You were hitting him like a madman, could've given him a concussion had she not intervened!" Yukie replied, Baron rolling his eyes. "What is your deal with them lately?" She asked.
"They're always cuddled up to each other!" Baron replied.
"So? A lot of people who are close do that, don't see you complaining about that! It's called leaning on someone when things get tough, everyone needs help during the times we all struggle." Yukie responded.
At the same time, Amanda and Finn were hiding in a closet and Finn had Amanda up against the wall… which forced her to wrap her legs around his waist and her arms around his shoulders as he held her.
Well not so much forced as Finn wanting to keep as quiet as possible… and Finn wasn't complaining as he had hiked her legs up around him.
"I think we should wait it out a bit longer." Amanda whispered.
"I can't hear anyone approaching, I think we're…" Finn responded quietly before the two trailed off when they heard Yukie and Baron.
"Why would they run down here when their locker room is this way? They would've ran in the opposite direction, Tommy." Yukie responded, Baron looking at her.
"You're probably right." Baron replied before they headed down the northern hallway… and Amanda and Finn untangled themselves from each other before they snuck out and headed to their locker room, sneaking into it.
"That was a really close one, Darlin'." Finn responded.
"Yes it was." Amanda replied before Finn stripped down and went to go clean off.
Her heart was still racing until she leaned against the wall to calm herself as Finn was in the shower.
'The past few days are catching up with me.' Amanda thought, trying to rationalize it.
But Finn touching her like that felt so damn good.
Finn was stood under the showerhead as the water soaked him, praying that his body would calm down.
"Mandy, you are a wicked woman..." Finn responded quietly.
He knew things were changing.
