As Randy threw Jeff across the table, the dark sinister music started to play… Randy was looking around for Ashley before the lights went out.
The lights came back on again and behind Randy stood Ashley, in her Angel of Death character before smashing the chair over Randy's head and then his healed knee.
Amanda reeled back in horror and threw up after seeing the blood, Jeff pulling himself up and limping to her as security pulled Ashley back.
"I ain't done with him!" Ashley hissed.
She was dragged to the back as Jeff and Amanda followed, the ringside medical team helping Randy into the trainer's office.
"Answer me straight on this one, Randy, what the hell were you thinking?!" Amanda responded after drinking cold water to settle her stomach as Finn ran in and checked on Amanda. "I'm okay." She replied, hoping to keep her fiance calm.
"I still worry, love. And actually, that's not a bad question." Finn responded before he turned to Randy. "Given Ash's Angel of Death persona, are you out of your damn mind, Orton?!" He demanded, Randy looking right at him as Dr. Amann drew blood from Amanda's left arm.
"Creative pitched the storyline to me. Sort of a revival of mine and Jeff's feud from 2008… only with Ashley involved as well." Randy explained after he was stitched up and stood up.
"I read that script. There was no part that read for you to try to pull Jeff's earlobe off! You're lucky that all Ash did was bust your knee open but you don't have the damn balls to be upfront with her about storyline changes!" Amanda responded angrily, the needle thrown away and her arm bandaged as the technician took it to be tested.
Amanda stood up and cracked her right hand across Randy's face… and Randy stumbled as his ears were ringing.
"Finn, get her out of here!" Dr. Amann replied, Finn guiding Amanda out of the trainer's office. "Jeff?" He replied.
"Just give me an ice pack." Jeff responded before the doctor did so, Jeff pressing it to his sore ear. "They're right though, you should've told Ashley." He explained after turning to Randy.
"I should've! But they're keeping a secret of their own!" Randy responded.
"All secrets will reveal themselves in time… but honestly, I thought you had changed, we all thought you had. Guess we were wrong." Jeff replied before he left… and it wasn't long before he found Ashley and Shinsuke talking.
"Even I know that there's a delicate line not to cross… what the hell's gotten into him?" Shinsuke responded.
"That's what I want to know…" Ashley replied, the two having been close since they met.
"Everything okay?" Jeff asked after walking over, hoping Ashley had calmed down.
"Yeah… for now." Ashley responded.
It was the next morning that Amanda woke up and groaned slightly, Finn lightly rubbing his right hand up and down her side.
"Still feeling yucky, love?" Finn asked, Amanda nodding… before her phone rang and she picked it up before they sat up, seeing a video call from Dr. Amann before she answered it.
"Hey, Doc. How's your day going?" Amanda responded.
"Quiet so far. Got your blood test results back earlier, Mandy, figured out what's causing you to feel sick." Dr. Amann explained, Amanda feeling Finn's left hand rest on her back.
"Is everything okay?" Amanda questioned.
"Yes it is, Mandy, with you and the baby… Mandy, you're about 6 weeks pregnant." Dr. Amann responded, Amanda nearly dropping the phone as she and Finn looked at each other. "I'll let you two talk." He replied before they ended the video call, Amanda setting the phone down and her and Finn hugging.
"Whoa… a child, our child…" Amanda replied in a half whisper.
Out in the hallway, Randy almost dropped his styrofoam coffee cup and leaned against the wall after hearing that… and Dakota walked over to him.
"You look like you just had a hell of a shock." Dakota replied.
"I did…" Randy responded before they headed further down the hall. "Mandy's pregnant." He whispered, Dakota muffling a happy scream.
Three weeks later…
Raw wasn't unfamiliar territory to Ashley… but the fans were shocked to see her.
"Sometime in the next few weeks, there's gonna be a special announcement… but as for now-" Ashley responded.
She was abruptly cut off by Baron Corbin's music playing and him walking down the ramp and getting in the ring.
"The hell are you doing here? This is my time." Ashley demanded.
"And I wanted to welcome you back… and to say that if you need my help, just ask. And don't cross me like-" Baron responded.
"Like what, like Finn supposedly did?! If anything, I think you're jealous because he's been world champion whereas when you tried, you brutally failed… or is this jealousy because he's got the woman of his dreams and no woman will so much as glance at you?" Ashley replied, the fans cheering.
"I just want to-" Baron said before being being cut off again.
"You seriously think I would ever seek any help from you at all?! Boy I got to the top all by myself, I was raised to work hard for what I wanted! So I'm gonna do what Finn did and reject your bald headed ass!" Ashley said before flipping Baron off and leaving.
"She went apeshit out there." Matt said.
"She did… he's fuming." Amanda responded, Matt seeing her adjust the hem of her shirt before Finn walked back over and him and Amanda hugged and kissed… and Ashley walked over.
"Oh man, I've never been so angry in my life!" Ashley growled.
"Come here." Amanda responded before the two women hugged… and Ashley's eyes widened when she noticed that Amanda's stomach was no longer flat.
Ashley held her friend out at arms length… and noticed the tiny baby bump, before Ashley glared over at Finn.
"Ash, stay calm, okay? Seth already blew up at her earlier." Matt responded, Finn putting Amanda behind him out of instinct.
"How did he find out?" Ashley asked once her shock subsided.
