The one and only CM Punk ran out to the stage. No one thought he would ever show his face in WWE again but they were more than happy that he was here. Running down to the ring he made quick work of Seth and Kane. After all he is the best in the world. Kneeling next to Ash he gently brushed the hair out of her face. Ash smiled lightly seeing a familiar, friendly face.
"You alright Ash?"
"Never better Punk." Helping her stand up they stood toe to toe with Seth and Kane. It looks like this just became a tag match.
Punk went after Kane while Ash had some unfinished business with Seth. The ring looked like a war zone. any and every weapon had been used in someway. Ash and Punk had the upper hand as Ash pulled out her secret weapon for the night. She may had dreaded fighting tonight but she always comes prepared. Getting back in the ring she had a cinder block in hand. Her and Punk shared a look before Punk held Seth's head just like kane had done to Dean. Getting a running start Ash curb stomped Seth's head through the block but the pair wasn't done yet.
Ash hoisted Seth's almost lifeless body on her shoulders as Punk did the same to Kane before they hit them with the G.T.S then locked them both into the Anaconda Vise getting a double tap out. Releasing the holds they stood up before Punk pulled her into a hug which she gladly accepted. Their celebration was cut short when Hunter stormed down to the ring like a big rain cloud with Stephanie hot on his heels.
"Last time I checked Punk you didn't Work here. And even if you did I would fire you right here right now. With that said you had no right to put your hands on a WWE Superstar."
"Hold it there baldy. Before you get your panties in a twist you might want to hear what I have to say. You see I can do whatever the hell I want. My name is Cm Punk. I'm the best in the world and I'm back to kick your ass."
Stephanie stood in front of Hunter and got in Punk's face. "This is my show and my ring! You can't Lay a finger on him!"
"I can!" Ash's voice was barely audible as she kicked Hunter in the jaw knocking him to the mat.
"Oh and steph I can. Might wanna call daddy. You might be surprised." Punk wrapped an arm around Ash as they walked backstage.
Once they were out of the view of everyone Ash pulled him into a hug and whispered. "Thank you so much Phil."
"Hey I made a promise to look out for you. Besides. I saw what happened. I had to check on you."
"I'm ok now. At least I think. Like one second I'm pissed off the next I shy and quiet then I'm perfectly ok." The pair started walking to the locker room.
"Its expected to happen. Especially since you haven't had an episode in a while. How are the other things?"
"Almost a year. Honestly I haven't been thinking about it. I got things here keeping me occupied."
"That's good Ash. And you know if you ever need me you just gotta let me know."
They went quiet for a few minutes before Ash looked at Punk. "Are you really back?"
"I can't Have you stealing all my pipe bombs."
"Hey I learned from the best."
Punk laughed. "That you did. The best in the world."
Ash groaned and rolled in her eyes. "Oh please don't Start that shit."
Halfway to the locker room they ran into Dean and Roman. Dean hugged Ash as Roman shook Punk's hand. "I'm sorry Ash."
"Don't Apologize. We both know if you would have went out there I would have killed you."
"Thanks for looking out for her Phil."
"Don't Gotta thank me. Just doing my job."
"How do you two know each other?" Roman and Dean were both curious. They saw how well those two worked together and the trust that they both had for each other. That and the whole arm wrapped around Ash thing.
"Phil is.. my sponsor of sorts."
"Sponsor? Why did you need a sponsor?"
"Can we talk about this somewhere not so open please." Agreeing everyone went to the locker room. Ash wasn't upset talking about this or ashamed she'd just rather not have the whole world know.
Sitting on the couch she ran a hand through her hair. "After you left CZW I was a little mad that I was alone so I got into more brutal matches to blow off some steam. Once the pain got to much I would drink so I didn't Have to feel it. And if I was ever nervous or scared of a match I'd smoke some weed to mellow out. It was alright at first but it started to become a problem. I'd show up to work drunk and everyone knows Alcohol and bleeding doesn't exactly go well together."
"I met her at an AA meeting. I wanted to talk with a couple groups and her name rang a bell. I've looked out for her since." Dean had no idea and it shocked Roman that this girl was a recovering alcoholic.
"Why didn't You tell me Ash?"
"I'm honestly surprised you didn't Pick up on it. Everytime we called each other I was either at a bar or just drinking. But it's all good now. I'm almost a year sober."
"Well we're proud of you baby girl."
A little back story on Ash. And the WWE better watch out. Ash and Punk are on the loose with their pipe bombs! Hope you enjoy! Love ya!
