Amanda's P.O.V
Moments where you have to wait for a promo can be tense, Finn, Sami and I know that all too well. Right now, I hear the fans out in the arena cheering.
The atmosphere is different… electricity in the air… someone's returning tonight. And whoever it is, they're going to make an impact on the current generation of wrestling, fans and wrestlers included.
"You two are on next." Chad Patterson says.
"Got it. Hey, say hello to the family for me." I say, Chad nodding before leaving.
"Ready to do this, lass?" Finn asks, gripping my left hand.
"If Corey tries anything, I'm knocking him down a few pegs." I say before we kiss.
Third Person Perspective...
The glance levelled at Corey Graves as Finn helped Amanda into the ring made it clear that neither wanted to go through with this segment. Finn would've preferred someone who could get through a day without yelling at Amanda or throwing her head first into a mirror.
"Alright, you two, thanks for joining me tonight." Corey says, putting on a fake smile. "Amanda, that was a hell of a match against Nia Jax but do you think she might've handed you that victory after you were unexpectedly injured-" He says, Amanda taking the microphone from him.
"If you're gonna start off by disrespecting Nia, me or the match, shut that hole in your face, turn around and leave." Amanda says, fans changing "Balor Club!" and Corey turning angry, taking the microphone back.
"I have no problem striking an injured woman, you little tramp-" Corey says, Amanda slamming her fist into Corey's nose and right eye socket. Corey fell to the ground because the blow to his face was so forceful and rolled out of the ring, Finn trying to calm Amanda down.
Finn and Amanda hugged and kissed, the fans cheering… but then Kevin Owens's music blared and Kevin walked out there, Finn instinctively putting himself in front of Amanda as Kevin climbed into the ring.
"What, you think I'll hurt your little lass after what she just did? Corey might need reconstructive surgery on his nose and right eye socket after that punch." Kevin says.
"Then why are you out here?!" Finn demands.
"For my well deserved title shot… and I guess you're trying to reconnect the Balor Club or as it was known in New Japan Pro Wrestling, the Bullet Club. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows are too busy trying to hurt every tag team or… any team of any kind…" Kevin says, Finn turning angrier.
"If those punks even so much as try to approach Amanda-" Finn says.
"Hey, you misunderstood me. I-" Kevin says… before music that hadn't been heard since Wrestlemania 20 blared through the arena and pyro went off, Amanda's, Finn's and Kevin's eyes widening in shock as the fans cheered.
There at the edge of the ramp stood a man who was 6'4" and 285 pounds of pure muscle, a man that WWE fans hadn't seen in almost 13 years…
Bill Goldberg walked down to the ring with pride in his eyes and jumped up on the ring apron, Amanda, Finn and Kevin jumping back as Bill got into the ring.
"Now now, simmer down, simmer down…" Bill says once his music stopped and he had a microphone in his right hand, the fans chanting "Welcome back! Welcome back!" and Bill smiling.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Kevin yelled, Bill looking at him.
"Boy, didn't anyone ever tell you to not speak like that to people? And I've been watching how you've treated Amanda since you first showed up on Tv… no wonder she's gone and clobbered you every chance she's gotten." Bill says before turning to Finn, who was still stood protectively in front of Amanda. "I draw the line at threatening women. I respect what she's done over the past decade." He says, Amanda stepping forward and her and Bill hugging. "Aw, I could never turn down a hug." He says before they let go, Bill handing Amanda the microphone.
Amanda lifted it up and said what was natural to her in this moment.
"Damn, I missed you!"
Amanda handed the microphone back to Bill before she walked back to Finn, the two kissing again.
"A lot of the fans missed Bill Goldberg. Glad that he's back." Michael Cole says after he found himself able to speak as he and Byron were also shocked.
"You see?" Bill says after turning back to Kevin. "Finn and Amanda are an amazing couple. Even before they were romantic, they were close. It feels natural to them… and this feels natural to me." He says before running right at Kevin and hitting him with the spear, the fans cheering crazily.
Finn helped Amanda out of the ring and both let Bill Goldberg celebrate his return as Kevin was still on the ground, unconscious.
Once the two were in the backstage area, Amanda let out a small laugh.
"Oh, damn… I knew he was returning, I just didn't know when." Amanda says, her and Finn smiling.
"WCW was when I watched him the most, that winning streak was unprecedented." Finn says as Mick Foley walked over to them.
"I broke Corey's nose, didn't I?" Amanda asks.
"And his eye socket… Amanda…" Mick says before lowering his voice. "Corey kind of deserved it, maybe he'll think twice next time." He says before leaving.
"Did he just smirk?" Amanda asks.
"Who wouldn't with how you dropped Corey to his knees? Still doesn't make up for what he did almost 2 years ago but it is satisfying to see him fall like a pile of bricks." Finn says, wrapping his arms around Amanda's back and kissing her, Amanda resting her hands on Finn's hips as she pressed herself close to him.
As much as she wanted to, Amanda was hurting badly and that meant that her and Finn would just be lying in a bed together and holding each other until she healed up.
"You're still hurt… we've got to behave ourselves." Finn whispers, lightly kissing Amanda's forehead.
Amanda pouted and buried her head into Finn's torso as he lightly rubbed his hand up and down her back... but the two holding and comforting each other whenever they were hurt always made them feel better.
