Royal Rumble 2016, Amway Center, Amanda Cena vs Yukie Yang…
Amanda knew she was treading the line between selling the onslaught and actually feeling pain… and gripped the kendo stick, snatching it from Yukie and breaking it in half, which made Yukie's smokey grey eyes widen in shock and the fans come unglued with their cheering and chants for the Demon Mistress.
And the chants had Yukie incensed.
"Stay down!" Yukie yelled.
"Yeah, that's not how she is, Yukie!" Jerry responded.
"Damn right, Mandy won't lie down for anyone!" Mauro replied.
"Fuck that!" Amanda responded before she kicked Yukie into the turnbuckle and charged at her before repeatedly striking her, Yukie screaming in pain and Amanda grabbing a steel chair and hitting Yukie with it repeatedly… which brought Baron running out to ringside to try to stop Amanda as Finn reached ringside.
"Things have gotten way out of control!" Jerry exclaimed in shock.
"That's enough, Mandy! You're going to break every bone in her body!" Baron explained, as he was trying to take the steel chair away from her.
"That's what she was trying to do to me, you fucking asshat!" Amanda yelled after slamming the chair into Baron's right side repeatedly until he grabbed Yukie and left as Finn disarmed Amanda.
"I've never seen you this pissed off. Calm down!" Finn responded as he held Amanda's arms to her sides but not too tightly as Yukie turned to Baron.
"I… I think something's broken…" Yukie managed to say, before coughing up blood.
Baron guided her to the back… and to their relief, there were no internal injuries or broken bones and the blood was from a wound inside of Yukie's mouth.
"Damn… what the hell's gotten into you two, trying to kill each other?" Dr. Amann asked, Yukie turning to him.
"It was her, not me." Yukie responded.
"Doll, you almost broke her arm and tried to separate her right shoulder." Baron replied.
"Then what was I supposed to do? Go off character and prance around her like I'm AJ Lee? I was supposed to do all those things, if I go off character, I'll get into trouble." Yukie explained.
"The only unscripted thing from Mandy was her cursing but I guess that's to be expected when someone's been beaten up with a kendo stick, a trash can and a steel chair and has used those same weapons against her opponent tonight." Dr. Amann explained.
"So, you're just going to take her side, when I'm the one who was supposed to following a damn script? She's lucky, that I'm not in a coma or whatever. One hit to the back of my head. Bam, in a long coma for more than a month or facing death." Yukie explained.
"She was avoiding that… I don't know if you know this but Amanda nearly died almost two years ago. Seizures." Baron responded, Yukie turning to him.
"She had seizures, are you serious?!" Yukie replied.
"One concussion led to them." Baron explained.
"Damn… well, next time she better be careful around herself and me…" Yukie responded before she got up and Baron stopped her. "I got it, Baron. Just let me walk." She replied.
Baron did so but stayed nearby… he knew he had to…
Present time…
Amanda was sprawled out on her side on the couch, ice pack taped to her right shoulder and Finn holding one to her bruised back as Dean and Roman ran in.
"Guys, shouldn't you be getting ready for your matches? I'm okay." Amanda responded… but she knew that they weren't going anywhere.
"You're okay? She nearly killed you out there, kiddo!" Roman replied, carefully hugging Amanda.
"What you did out there was sending a message to her. Next time, hit her in her head to make her very scared of you." Dean responded.
"Hell no, she has a metal plate in her head!" Amanda replied, which unnerved Dean and made him regret his words. "I'm gonna go talk to Hunter, see if I can get this storyline to end." She responded, trying to stand up but Finn stopped her.
"Better idea… and I should watch my mouth." Dean replied.
"I'm gonna go start the shower, Darlin', the warm water will help." Finn responded before he started to move… but at that moment, Hunter walked in and Finn helped Amanda up.
"Hunter-" Amanda started to respond but was cut off by him hugging her, Amanda wrapping her left arm around him.
"This storyline needs to end." Hunter replied after they let go, Amanda having to let Finn hold her upright.
"Did I break anything of hers?" Amanda asked, concerned about the blood.
"No, the blood was from a split inside her mouth, most likely from that punch. How are you feeling?" Hunter responded.
"You wouldn't believe me if I said I'm okay, would you?" Amanda replied, Hunter lightly rubbing the top of her head and looking at her bruised right arm and cringing… he had seen much worse in the business but he hated seeing anyone he cared about injured, especially since Amanda had become like a daughter to him.
At that moment, Yukie and Baron wandered in and it prompted Finn to shield Amanda from them… as Dean glared at Baron.
"Control your girlfriend better before she kills one of her co-workers, Corbin!" Dean responded angrily.
"Mandy tried to kill her too. Does she look like she's in a mood to hurt someone?" Baron repiled, while holding Yukie close.
"This storyline is ending tomorrow night with the girls airing their grievances and then shaking hands instead of what I had planned for Wrestlemania." Hunter responded, which angered Baron and Yukie.
"Fine. But no tricks to scare the shit outta me." Yukie responded.
"You're agreeing with this?!" Baron questioned.
"She and I can hardly move right now, we won't be scaring each other!" Amanda responded.
"No Demon King and Demon Bitch?" Baron questioned, before Finn, Amanda and Yukie smacked him upside the head.
"What the hell is the matter with you?" Yukie questioned, pulling onto Baron's left ear.
"I'm gonna go get cleaned off." Amanda responded before Finn helped her to the shower… and returned alone as the shower was running and setting Amanda's ring gear aside as her clothes were in the restroom.
It was when he was alone a few minutes later that he answered a video call on Amanda's phone… but instead of Seth like he had anticipated, it was Phil… who was startled at seeing a man he had never met answering Amanda's phone.
"Who are you? And what are you doing answering Mandy's phone?" Phil questioned.
"I'm a friend of hers. And she's getting cleaned off, the match was brutal… I thought you didn't watch the programming anymore." Finn explained.
"I always keep an eye on her. What kind of person who I be without looking after her?" Phil responded.
"True. Any idea on how to control Yukie's temper if you know her?" Finn replied, the mention of Yukie's name startling Phil.
"That was Yukie trying to kill her?!" Phil asked.
"Basically. I don't know why though, Mandy never wronged her." Finn responded.
"Yukie is never a bad person, and beside that's probably her following a script." Phil replied.
"I've read that script and…" Finn responded before they heard the shower stop. "I'll call you back." He replied before the video call ended and he set the phone down and went to help Amanda out of the shower, wrapping a towel around her and dry her off with another.
Not that Amanda minded the help as she was still hurting.
