Mandy laughed as Christian fell back wards and she heard the back of his
head bang off the door. She put the gun down as she crossed the room over
to him and pulled him away from the door. The door flew open as Eric
Bischoff, Edge, Chris and Matt ran into the room; all of their eyes went
wide, but Edge's eyes widened to the gun sitting on the couch. No one else
seemed to notice it as Mandy met his eyes and slightly shook her head as
she registered that he knew. Bischoff got the EMT's and they loaded
Christian up on the stretcher as Trish, who had been tipped off by Gail
Kim, caught them before they left. She didn't really make a sound, but she
followed by the side as the ambulance came and she hopped in before they
shut the door. Raw went to a commercial as the ambulance, carrying
Christian turned the corner.
When Raw came back from commercial, Edge was trying to get Mandy to confess that she shot Christian. She flat out lied and said that he tried to shoot her and she fought with him and the gun went off on accident. Edge wasn't sure, but Matt and Chris nearly beat him up with saying that she was lying, to which Edge replied that he never said that. While Edge, Matt and Chris were arguing, Mandy slipped out of the room and into a rental car. She drove off as Edge called after her...
*Camera focuses on the sign to the hospital. Mandy parks her car, asks
about the room and makes her way there.*
Mandy made her way to Room 521 and pushed the door open; looking around the room, Trish was no where to be found. She crept up to the bed and sat on its edge as she heard the door open, but then shut again. She turned her attention back to the bed as Christian opened his eyes and looked at her. He didn't seem scared of her, considering that she was the one who shot him; she smiled at him, but he didn't or couldn't smile back. She jumped when she heard the door open and she hid as she saw Trish walk back in; she looked excited that he was awake as she sat at the same spot she was sitting at.
Mandy slid out of her hiding place and stood behind Trish, who didn't notice her until Mandy tapped her on the shoulder. Trish jumped, got up and faced her; Trish slapped her as Mandy touched her stinging cheek and smiled. Trish asked her what she was smiling at, but Mandy ignored her as she left the room. Mandy stopped and Trish turned as they both heard Christian's voice calling her back. She turned slowly and pushed Trish aside as she took her place on the bed; lying there, Mandy noticed how changed he really was.
She didn't say anything until tears formed in her eyes and she ran from the room. She drove off and back to the arena; once inside she stopped by a monitor and watched as Chris Jericho had Steven Richards in the Walls of Jericho. She saw Victoria run down and interfere, so she ran to the ring as well and the two divas got into a fight. Mandy threw Victoria into the steel steps as Richards tapped to the Walls and Jericho was declared the winner.
"Here's Your Winner: CHRIS JERICHO!!"
Mandy slid into the ring and raised his other hand in victory; he hugged her as the exited the ring. Victoria got in, holding her back, to check on Steven and pointed at Mandy as if to say she wanted her in the ring. When they got to the back, Bischoff and a few police officers met them; Jericho asked what was going on and Bischoff said that he was having Mandy arrested from shooting Christian. After being handcuffed, Edge and Matt made their way over as Edge protested this, but it did no good as they led her away.
When Trish left, Christian turned the TV to Raw just in time to see Mandy being handcuffed and led away. He watched as Edge tried to keep it from happening, but the officers still led her away. He shut the TV off and groaned as he heard the door open and called out Trish's name, but the hand that pulled the curtain away, didn't belong to Trish. As the curtain was pushed aside, Christian found his brother standing there, not looking too happy about what went down between him and Mandy.
" I only came here to tell you that Bischoff had Mandy arrested for shooting..."
" Wait, she didn't shoot me! Seeing her again, really brought up all the bad memories between us and I went there to confront her. I brought the gun, we fought and she tried to wrestle it away and it accidentally went off. That's what really happened!" Christian told him.
Trish, who heard the conversation, cleared her throat and she looked pissed as she told Edge Christian was lying and only trying to protect Mandy; for some reason she didn't know. Trish left the hospital and told Christian if he was trying to protect her that she was going to put a stop to it.
Raw Before Backlash
Christian was at home, Mandy was released, Jericho was going insane and Trish was yelling at Bischoff about Mandy. She said she couldn't believe that Christian told the police the story that he told Edge; Trish said she knew Christian lied to protect her, but didn't know why. Bischoff said that he had an idea for Trish, if she wanted to punish Mandy why not do it in the ring. Trish said that would be perfect and Bischoff added the first match of Backlash: Trish Stratus vs. Mandy Copeland in a Steel Cage match! The crowd went nuts as Trish smiled and left the office; she ran into Mandy, Chris, Matt and Edge and told Mandy that she was having a match at Backlash.
" You want to know? Trish Stratus vs. Mandy Copeland in a...Steel Cage match!" Trish said as she laughed and walked off.
