WWE Payback 2016…

Simon Gotch had opened the locker room door… and immediately reeled back and screamed as he was punched right in the nose, Aiden English running over to check on his tag team partner and then calm Amanda and keep her from striking Simon again.

"I hope you're happy being handed that opportunity at the tag team titles, Enzo's headed to the hospital with a fucking concussion! You idiot, you caused him to hit his head three times!" Amanda yelled, Aiden pinning her against the wall. "Let me go, Aiden! Simon could've caused Enzo to die!" She screamed, Aiden gently cupping her jaw with his right hand as tears were running down her face.

"You need to calm down." Aiden said.

"Enzo is hurt…" Amanda said quietly.

"It was an accident. Simon, tell her you didn't mean to use that much force." Aiden replied, Simon walking over cautiously… and noticing a scar on the back of Amanda's scalp.

"You took a similar blow once…" Simon responded, realising it.

"When I was 19. Left me with a concussion… and migraines. There's been talk of an impending lawsuit against the company by former employees, alleging that WWE concealed these kind of things." Amanda said quietly.

"It's bad that they might alone… breaching those Health & Safety courses of action can have serious impacts, some people may even be gone, clean wiped out of the company altogether." Simon said.

"Yeah… look, Aiden… one of them is your uncle in law, Chavo. He even tried to get me to join it and when I said no, he got pissed and called me a disloyal bitch… and things spiraled from there, I lost it when he brought up Eddie and Chris and went and punched Chavo in the face." Amanda said after Aiden let her go and got her to sit down.

"They were always around when you were growing up, of course it hit a nerve." Aiden said.

"After losing both of them as well as Nancy and Daniel… I felt like I had lost myself too. I was a kid, I didn't understand why… they were gone." Amanda said as she lowered her head to hide her tears, Simon gently cupping her face in his hands. "How would anyone ever be the same after that? It's not possible to go back."

"No it's not, sweetheart…" Simon responded.

"I'm sorry for hitting you…" Amanda said as the two hugged.

"It's okay, kiddo. I got out of line." Simon replied after they let go.

Amanda headed back to her locker room and her and Finn hugged each other tightly.

"Let's go check on Enzo. Okay?" Finn said after they let go, Amanda nodding before the two grabbed their things and left… on the way out, Finn wrapped his right arm around Amanda as a way to support her.

Both had seen head injuries go horribly wrong and end careers and lives… and neither wanted that to happen to Enzo...

Present time…

It was hours shy of the Draft Lottery now and Amanda knew she shouldn't be reading this… but with her alone in the locker room, she scrolled down the article about the class action lawsuit.

"This is fucked up." Amanda muttered, unaware of the door opening before she felt a hand rest on her side and looked after he crouched down. "I thought you were waiting with the rest of the NXT roster in Orlando." She said as Finn's blue eyes scanned her hazel ones and he turned concerned.

"We got called late last night to head here…" Finn explained, Amanda sitting up so he could sit down and her leaning against him after he wrapped his arms around her. "Class action lawsuit… no wonder you're distressed, a lot of your friends names are on here." He said, lying back on the couch and settling Amanda to his left side.

"I really don't know how to feel about it… Chavo and I haven't spoken since that fight and I haven't heard from Ashley since she left 8 years ago. I do understand why Jimmy's wife filed for him though, Carole nearly lost him because of head injuries." Amanda said, resting her head on Finn's shoulder.

"People getting hurt is bound to happen in this business and yes, people are bound to be angry at it… and it's obvious that being a lawsuit against a whole company, it'll be more than the hands of the police snooping around." Finn replied, his arm resting behind her.

"FBI, possibly CIA… makes me think back to the investigation they launched into in mid 2007. I was just a scared kid then, wondering why all these people in suits were asking what I was on and not believing the truth, I've never taken illegal drugs or shot anything into my bloodstream… I was in the backstage area a lot in the early to mid 2000s, I saw what these drugs did to my friends and idols. John promised me that he'd never do it and he's lived up to that promise." Amanda responded.

"Like a good brother should… and those years were different, the drugs and all that had took over in the 70s were still lingering around underneath it all." Finn replied.

"Yes they were…" Amanda said as she glanced at the countdown clock for the draft. "Five years ago was the last time the brands were split… of course, they only selected a few superstars and divas." She said quietly before both heard the door open and saw Dean.

"Am I interrupting something?" Dean asked.

"Just a talk. Are they wanting us to start to gather around by the monitors?" Finn responded.

"Yep, up on your feet, kids." Dean answered, the two following him.

Near the monitor where most were around, a few of the cast members of Total Divas noticed that Amanda and Finn were by each other and away from the crowd, Eva turning to Paige.

"The hell is he doing here?" Eva whispered.

"They called NXT here for some reason." Paige replied.

"Our second and third draft picks met back in NXT and have made it their second home as well as made a strong, unbreakable bond with each other. And we can't wait to see how they turn this show upside down, Raw is delighted to welcome Amanda Cena and Finn Balor!" Stephanie announced, Finn picking Amanda up into his arms and spinning her around as they held each other.

No one noticed Seth sneaking off in the excitement of everything…
