She never imagined the Royal Rumble match ending like this for her…

Suplex off the top rope caving the ring in? It had happened before.

The ring rope snapping off?

Well worse happened in the Attitude Era that she grew up watching… hell, Mick Foley and Undertaker fell through the cell roof and through the ring itself nearly 18 years ago.

But being slammed into the barricade with too much force that a good portion of it broke? That was a new one to Amanda, inflicted onto her at least… and a traumatizing one, judging from the fans screams.

Amanda felt every bone in her right shoulder, arm, hand, fingers and thumb break and because the air had been driven out of her lungs, she couldn't scream… that didn't mean she wasn't trying to when she saw Kevin Owens and her eyes widened in terror.

But she didn't know that he was terrified too at what he had done to the tiny brunette.

Through her disoriented hearing, she could hear a familiar accent and through her blurred vision, she could see Kevin being punched and beaten up… another blurred figure broke up the beating, the red hair a dead giveaway as Sami pushed Kevin back and yelled at him in their native language before Amanda looked up when she felt a hand on her head and saw a pair of frightened blue eyes looking at her.

"Don't move… we don't know what else is broken." Finn said quietly as Amanda tried to sit up.

"Can't… feel my arm…" Amanda managed to say once there was air in her lungs again. "It's really bad this time…" She said as tears trailed down her face and the medical team reached them.

Another familiar face became visible, one of the paramedics she had known for years…

"David…" Amanda whispered, the raven haired grey eyed older man setting the neck brace around her and securing it before her arm and hand were braced… but there was someone she couldn't see as she looked around. "Where's… Livi?"

"In the backstage area, Hunter's trying to keep her from running out here…" David answered as Amanda let out a pain filled scream when she was turned onto her left side before she was placed onto the backboard and strapped to it, tears running down her face as she felt Finn's right hand wrap around her left one after she was on the stretcher and it was pulled up until it locked.

The ringside area was crowded, everyone completely forgetting about the match and Stephanie reaching the ringside area, shoving several superstars out of her way and running to the woman she loved like a niece.

"It's her arm, isn't it?!" Stephanie asked.

"And who knows what else, we've got to get her out of here…" David answered before Amanda was taken away, Finn staying by the left side of the gurney and Stephanie running to keep up with them.

The paramedics weren't even gonna try to keep either away… when they reached the backstage area of the Amway Centre, Liviana was in a sobbing fit.

"I… I'm so… so fucking stupid!" Liviana yelled through her hands covering her face.

"Livi, you had no idea that the barricade would break!" Hunter said, his hands cradling her face when her arms dropped to her sides, Hunter holding her like a parent would do for a distraught child.

"Her arm… it nearly snapped off her body, Hunter…" Liviana sobbed.

Amanda wasn't trying to get off the gurney as she was put in the ambulance, Finn still by her side and her looking at him.

"Do I… even need to ask… where he is?" Amanda said as she saw Liviana before the doors closed.

"He nearly killed you… I tried to beat him to death…" Finn answered, resting his right hand on the left side of Amanda's face and keeping her left hand in his own.

Amanda looked up enough to see Liviana, mouthing 'Don't blame yourself… I'll heal.' before the ambulance sirens started and she was taken away.

Liviana headed down the hallway as Hunter was now consoling Stephanie… reaching the locker room, she pushed the door open and immediately ducked and jumped out of the way as Kevin was trashing the locker room in his rage.

"The barrier was secure, we watched them set it up! I swear, I never intended for it to break!" Kevin yelled.

"And I had no idea that my alterations to the timeline would make you break her through the barrier!" Liviana shouted, Kevin stopping and looking at her.

"Time alterations? You were trying to prevent… damn it. I don't blame you one bit, she's had some bad injuries in her career…" Kevin said quietly as he sat down. "But I still hurt her…" He said as he started crying, Liviana sitting down next to him.

"Mandy told me that… there have been some terrifying things that have happened in this kind of match and others. I got curious, that's how this started…" Liviana said.

"Then you saw her getting injured…" Kevin said, Liviana nodding.

"I hopped to tonight and saw her being thrown across the ring and hitting her head on the barrier post, causing her to be sidelined for a whole 7 months as it fractured her skull and coma hit her for the first three weeks… I tried to stop it by weakening the barrier's design, so that when she hit it, she'd collapse it and only end up with a concussion… inadvertently, one event led to another and you changed your position, sent her into it sideways instead… so all I've done is make the injury a worse one, from cracking the skull to practically crushing the arm." Liviana explained.

"You were trying to prevent more seizures… she's had concussions, she's seen how they've changed people's behavior… she swore that she didn't want that." Kevin managed to say, the two standing up. "There's gonna be a way to fix this in some time… but right now, we need to go see her." He said before they left.

At the ER in Florida Hospital, a sedated Amanda was trying to process what she had been told by the doctor… pins and rods to put the bones back together, extensive rehab… she was looking at part of the year out.

When it finally hit her, she just broke down in Finn's arms as he held her… when she stopped crying, she looked up at him.

"Tonight was supposed to be different… I had that match won, I could feel it… I let everyone down…" Amanda said as Finn brushed her tears away.

"No… I let you down." The two heard just as Finn was about to speak, seeing Liviana in the doorway. "I tried to save you from an injury… all I did was fail and make events worse."

"How bad would've…" Amanda tried to ask… but she could tell. "My head? Livi, you prevented that… I'm not gonna give in from this." She said as the two hugged.

"It wasn't the head injury itself that persuaded me… but rather that fact that two years from now, the lurking damage would've led to you collapsing in a stroke midway through your first return to full size events, I couldn't have…" Liviana said, stopping herself. "I didn't mean for any of this, I swear. I thought I narrowed it to you merely ending up with a concussion, I didn't count on it somehow linking to an event that made Kevin change how he threw you."

"People are thrown the wrong way at times… too much force used, this is a dangerous business. No one could've ever imagined anything." Finn said after Liviana helped place Amanda into a more comfortable position on the gurney.

Five months, Amanda was looking at for the earliest possibility… she had come back from a broken sternum in six weeks when she was supposed to be out for three months.

"Never let anything beat you down, little one."

Those words would always stay with her.
