January 26th 2016, SmackDown taping set to air January 28th, 20 minutes ago…
Amanda was sore all over from the match with Ashley… but the place that hurt the worst was her lower back.
Her tailbone… and it felt personal to her that Ashley targeted it.
As Finn lightly massaged Amanda's back, Amanda saw Ashley nearby… and Amanda pulled herself up, limping over to her and Finn started to follow after Amanda but Bryan stopped him.
"Let her, Tiny needs to let it out at Ash." Bryan explained.
Ashley was startled when she was grabbed by her hair and yelled out as Amanda dragged her down the hallway.
"It's one thing to distance yourself from me, it's another to try to injure me in the exact area that your boyfriend did!" Amanda replied after letting go of Ashley.
"Boyfriend? I don't know what the fuck you are talking about." Ashley responded.
"Quit lying, I know you're seeing Seth! Does he tell you that he goes off at me every chance he gets like Kyle would at you?! Yet you're convinced that Finn is bad for me, you can't tell a good man apart from an abuser or a serial cheater!" Amanda replied angrily, Ashley turning angry and slapping Amanda… who pulled her fist back and slammed it between Ashley's eyes, Ashley stumbling back.
Finn and Bryan heard crashing and ran to where it was echoing from, pulling the two apart and Amanda and Ashley trying to fight again.
"That's enough out of both of you, calm down!" Finn responded as he held on tight to Amanda, Bryan turning to Ashley.
"She's your sister, what's the matter with you?!" Bryan asked.
"She's being a little bitch that's fucking why!" Ashley growled.
"I'm being honest, we've barely spent any time together lately! Once again, you threw me aside for a fucking cheap fling! Well you know what, it's the last time! Go cry to someone else when he leaves you behind!" Amanda shouted before Finn guided her away from there.
"I don't cry I just get revenge!" Ashley yelled.
"Yeah and throw her aside when she just wants to know if you're alright! And stomping on her back?! That was personal!" Bryan responded, Ashley glaring at him.
"I was following the damn script!" Ashley growled.
"The hell you were, what if you damaged her spine?!" Bryan yelled.
"Well you know what they say, accidents happen." Ashley said before walking away.
"Stubborn worse than Dakota." Bryan responded before he left.
He knew Ashley's actions towards Amanda were intentional...
Present time…
"I don't care what she says, that was damn personal of her! Charles Robinson disqualified her and he wasn't scripted to." Amanda responded as Finn examined her bruised right hand.
"Just calm down… once you both are calmed, then apologize." Finn replied.
"Nope, she's not getting an apology from me. She pulled this with Kyle and he was trying to kill her!." Amanda responded as Finn cradled her face in his hands. "Seth… is why she's been distancing from me. She believes his bullshit and that's why she won't let herself get to know you." She explained as they held each other and Luke walked in, closing the door behind him.
"The south hallway looks like a crime scene." Luke explained.
"Mandy and Ash nearly killed each other." Finn responded, startling Luke.
"Why were you two fighting?" Luke asked.
"She went off script and stomped onto my back." Amanda responded, Luke cringing when he saw the bruises.
"Oohh she's a tough one, no wonder all the boys want her. I still don't know why she's single." Luke replied.
"She's not, Seth's got her. Slimy little son of a bitch." Amanda responded.
"Wait her and Seth are together?!" Luke exclaimed.
"Yes." Amanda replied.
"Damn those two are seriously good actors." Luke said in response.
"What they are is destructive to each other." Amanda replied as Finn got her to sit down and put an ice pack on her back.
"Maybe they'll realize that and walk away from each other." Finn responded.
Ashley had gotten cleaned off and dressed and picked up her phone to see a text from Seth.
'I'm waiting for you in the hotel room ;)'
'I'm leaving now be there soon babe.' Ashley replied.
When she reached it, they kissed… and Seth saw that her face was bruised.
"Amanda punched me in the face after the match, claiming my stomp to her back was an 'personal attack'." Ashley explained.
"But I know what you were doing you were following the script." Seth responded before pinning Ashley against the wall.
"Yeah but she doesn't see it like that." Ashley said.
"Well that does hurt when the back gets injured." Seth explained.
"I know but there was no need for the way she acted." Ashley responded.
"Balor take her side?" Seth questioned, Ashley nodding.
"Why is she around him anyway?" Ashley responded.
"I don't know but he thinks that I'm bad to her and thinks I've been using her and because of that, so does she." Seth replied.
"And she thinks you are bad for me." Ashley said.
"See why I don't like Finn being around her? He twists her head around." Seth responded, Ashley starting to think.
It was when Amanda and Finn were in the lobby that he stopped to talk to Bayley and Amanda headed to the elevator… and was pulled into it by Ashley and Seth, Ashley having slammed the emergency stop button.
"Better let me out of here or I'll rip your throats out!" Amanda threatened after pushing them away and pushing them hard enough to make them hit the elevator walls.
"No, you're gonna listen to us and stay away from Finn!" Ashley responded.
"Fuck you, bitch! He's good to me, unlike your psycho boyfriend!" Amanda replied after texting 'Trapped in elevator by Seth and Ashley, alert hotel security!' to Finn and putting her phone away.
Finn turned away from Bayley and saw the text and told the desk clerk, who called hotel security.
"What is it with both of them?!" Bayley responded angrily as they reached the elevator and started hitting their hands against the doors, which angered Ashley.
"You better do what we ask, Amanda, because I seriously would hate to wreck that pretty little face of his." Ashley replied.
"And that proves how badly the pills and booze wrecked your brain!" Amanda responded, dropkicking Ashley before grabbing her duffel bag and the doors being opened by the system override, Finn helping Amanda out of there and holding her.
"Don't think you will win this war, Amanda. You've just pissed off the wrong person." Ashley growled as Seth helped her up.
"Only one calling war is you, Ashley. Have fun playing by yourself!" Finn responded before he, Amanda and Bayley left and Seth closed the doors.
"She's flipped." Seth replied.
"Oh yeah she flipped alright!" Ashley muttered, Seth knowing she was pissed at Amanda's comment about Ashley's addictions.
But they knew Amanda had made her choice.
