Jeff pulled himself up and had his hand raised by the referee… and Ashley pulled herself up to where she was sitting.
And seeing his hand raised sent her anger into overdrive, Ashley standing up and tackling Jeff before she grabbed onto his neck and started strangling him.
"Ash… stop…" Jeff managed to choke out.
"You've ruined it all!" Ashley yelled.
Earl and his son Brian Hebner had managed to pull them apart but then Ashley dislocated Earl's right wrist and ran at Jeff, only for Brian to stop her.
"Ash, that's enough!" Brian yelled.
"You don't get a say anymore because I don't work here anymore!" Ashley growled.
The brawl escalated to the point where the camera feed was cut… watching in the apartment, Finn and Amanda looked at each other as Finn's right hand rested on Amanda's left one.
"That was fucking disturbing." Amanda responded quietly, having been back in Orlando to heal from the back injury she suffered at NXT TakeOver Brooklyn.
"Has she always been a hothead like that?" Finn asked.
"She did break Randy's left hand once with a ball peen hammer… but given what he did, that was warranted. But this… Finn, I've never seen Ash turn her rage to her brothers. Something's gotta be done to stop them from killing each other." Amanda answered before Finn saw that look appear in her hazel eyes.
"No, don't even consider it, Darlin'." Finn responded.
"It worked when my brothers would fight. And obviously, TNA management is doing fuck all about what's unfolding in front of them." Amanda replied as Finn lightly brushed Amanda's shoulder length hair back.
"At least consider other ideas before locking them in a room, okay?" Finn questioned.
"Okay…" Amanda responded.
Amanda knew that anything she tried wouldn't get through to the Hardy siblings.
But having had enough of the phone calls, texts and angry updates on social media, she had to take herself out of the situation…
Present time, September 1st 2015, American Airlines Arena…
Yukie saw the notification on her Samsung Galaxy S6 and picked the phone up, seeing an article from the StillRealToUs website and opened it.
'Amanda Cena has unfriended and unfollowed Ashley Hardy, Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy and blocked them from her social media accounts after Hardy sibling rivalry takes terrifying turn.'
Yukie stood up, putting her phone in her shorts pocket and walked to the Demon Lovers locker room before she walked in.
"What the hell are you thinking, distancing yourself from them?! They're your family!" Yukie responded as Amanda looked up.
"I unfollowed and blocked them so I wouldn't have to see them fight like children over the internet. I'm sick of being dragged into it and pulled in different directions so I took myself out of that insanity, Yukie. They need to grow up, Matt and Jeff more so because this fighting is most likely scaring Matt and Reby's son and Jeff and Beth's daughters. Yukie, Jeff and Beth's oldest child is in preschool, you don't think she's being asked by classmates why her daddy, uncle and aunt are fighting?!" Amanda explained… before they jumped as the door slammed open and an incensed Seth was in the doorway, having just got off the phone with a distraught Ashley. "Yukie, run." She whispered, Yukie leaving the locker room to go find Finn, Luke and Bryan.
"You blocked your sister on social media?!" Seth demanded.
"Their rivalry is getting out of control, that's not a healthy situation for anyone, Seth. I took myself out of yours and Dean's scripted rivalry and you two resolved the tension that was pulling apart your friendship." Amanda explained.
"Well if you didn't block Ash you would know that she's taking a year away from wrestling and getting a contract with Redbull." Seth said.
"One toxic situation and into another, damn it!" Amanda hissed, which had Seth confused. "Redbull tends to throw parties where drugs and alcohol are involved and she's a former addict." She explained, Seth realising it now and calling Ashley's number.
"Hey, did you figure out why she blocked Jeff, Matt and me?" Ashley asked.
"Long story short, y'all are fighting like 5 year olds!" Amanda responded.
"Bull-fucking-shit! I'm not talking to those pricks until they apologise!" Ashley yelled.
"Stubborn as always." Amanda replied as Seth had to step back as Finn ran in and pulled Amanda into his arms, the two holding each other and Seth leaving.
"I guess Yukie made it seem to him that you were gonna hurt Mandy?" Ashley asked when Seth was a distance away from the locker room.
"Balor's treading on territory that he shouldn't." Seth replied.
"Oh well it's not my problem she wants to be a little bitch I wouldn't talk to her too." Ashley said.
At the same time, Yukie found Dakota.
"Yukie, what's wrong?" Dakota asked.
"Seth barged into Mandy and Finn's locker room, I don't know if he's still there!" Yukie explained, Dakota grabbing a bat after hearing that and leaving.
She ran to the Demon Lovers locker room and opened the door… and to her relief, Amanda wasn't harmed.
"Yukie told me Seth was in here." Dakota said.
"He left when I ran in here and took Mandy into my arms to shield her." Finn responded as Amanda and Dakota hugged for a few seconds.
"I've had enough of the Hardy siblings fighting so I blocked them from my Twitter and Instagram accounts." Amanda explained as Luke and Bryan ran in with kendo sticks. "Put those down, boys. He left." She responded, Luke and Bryan doing so and Bryan closing the door.
"Oh damn I was looking forward to bashing him." Bryan said.
"If he goes near her again, I'm gonna kill him!" Finn responded in a growl, Amanda lightly rubbing her small right hand up and down his back to calm him.
"I'm okay, Finn." Amanda replied as they held each other.
"Simmer down Irish boy." Luke said.
Amanda rarely saw Finn's temper so she sometimes would forget that he had one.
