The night out and every day after that went by smoothly for the young couple… and getting back to work after the holiday season was never easy.

Amanda laced up her ring boots and readjusted her black lace balconette bra and leather shorts… 2017 was going to be a different year and Amanda hoped it would be a damn good one.

She had a Beat The Clock challenge match coming up next and if she won, she would be added to the Fatal Five Way match at the Royal Rumble, the winner of that match going on to become both Raw and SmackDown Women's champion.

But Amanda kept thinking back…

"What do you mean it's been pushed back? Backlash has been a double and sometimes triple brand pay per view and they want to showcase a match where you end up cheating to win?!" Amanda says, trying to keep from getting infuriated after AJ told her that the Balor/Reigns match was called off.

"I'm sorry, I wanted to see it too, babydoll. Especially because I know that yours and Finn's relationship has turned more intimate." AJ says, Amanda looking at him as she was sure that she and Finn had been keeping quiet. "These walls have ears… now are you gonna tell your brothers before someone else does?" He asks.

"Yeah, we just have to figure out how." Amanda says, the two hugging…

"Okay, now you're nervous. Hold still." Finn says, propping Amanda's legs up on his lap and tying her converse sneakers, which stopped just below Amanda's knees as Amanda lightly readjusted her kneepads and the Tommy Copper sleeve on her right shoulder.

It was an old injury that flared up in cold weather… and it made Amanda remember the 2007 Royal Rumble match.

Amanda cursed CM Punk's name after that match… she didn't speak to him for days after that barricade incident.

"You'll be alright, lass. Emma's not gonna intentionally harm ya." Finn says, Amanda leaning in and the two kissing before leaving their locker room.

The nerves were still there as Amanda and Finn walked past Emma, who pursed her lips into a thin line and gave Amanda a cold stare before continuing on her stretching. The two were close like sisters at one time… but Emma, after being rehired by WWE and kept off Tv for a while, started to become resentful towards the other divas in the company, Amanda included.

Never Let Me Down Again blared through the arena as Amanda and Finn walked out to the ring, the cheers deafening as Amanda climbed up on the first ring post and sat on the top turnbuckle.

"This one's dedicated to you, Superfly!" Amanda says after looking up towards the rafters. Metaphorically, she was looking to the heavens themselves before briefly closing her eyes and jumping off the turnbuckle, her and Finn kissing before they were cut off by Emma's entrance music.

Emma's P.O.V

Oh, how dare that little bitch be happy after all the chaos she's caused?! This isn't gonna end in her winning, I don't give a damn what the script says!

I walk into the ring and point at her after she and Finn are done smooching each other up, shouting "You are a weak little whore!", which pisses the fans off and they start directing boos at me.

The bell rings after Finn drops to the floor and Amanda and I start our match off evenly… and then I stomp on her right foot and try to backhand her… but she grabs my hand and twists my right arm behind my back, knocking me down after slamming her right knee into my right side.

I scream out after hearing a sickening crack in my ribcage but she pins me down and bends me backwards, locking her legs around my shoulders… seriously?! How the hell is she so damn flexible?!

I tap out, the ref calling for the bell and Amanda letting go and standing up, her and Finn hugging. I hear Jojo announce that Amanda has won by submission and look up at the titantron, seeing that despite the limit set by Nia Jax earlier, 5 minutes and 34 seconds…

Amanda beat me in a 45 second match! The timer now reads 4 minutes and 57 seconds!

I start screaming ragefully, smashing my fists against the mat before standing up and getting in Amanda's face.

"You cheated, you bitch! I want a damn rematch!" I shout.

"You ain't getting a rematch. You wanted to try to injure me, I proved a point, let it be the end of it!" Amanda says before she and Finn leave.

Amanda's P.O.V

"Hey. Great match out there." Charlotte says after walking over and lightly slapping me on my back. Yeah, it was a great match but Emma is still the same hostile bitch she was to me last year… and I did fuck all to her!

So for all intensive purposes, it's a bittersweet victory and the Royal Rumble event draws near.

Can I do this?! Will I have both titles afterwards.

Royal Rumble Pay Per View, Six Pack challenge match…

"The action has been nonstop from bell to bell and there are weapons and divas everywhere!" Jerry exclaims as Amanda and Becky suplexed Alexa and Bayley, Sasha and Charlotte fought it out with Finn out at ringside for Amanda and Mickie at ringside for Alexa.

Amanda set Alexa up for the Demon's Destruction on one turnbuckle and Becky and Bayley set Charlotte up for a suplex from another turnbuckle… but when all five hit the mat itself, that's where it all went wrong.

The ring caved in and Finn and Mickie let out startled screams as they jumped back, quickly running into the ring.

"Uh, ladies and gentlemen… we don't know why but the ring has caved in, we need to get paramedics out…" Michael says, paramedics running out there with stretchers.

"Ow… you okay, kid?" Charlotte says painfully as she helped Bayley up, Bayley nodding as she rubbed her head in a disoriented manner.

"Alexa, you-" Mickie starts to ask after helping Alexa up, Alexa letting out a sharp scream as she saw Amanda's right shoulder sliced open and bleeding.

Amanda was blinking off the shock as Finn pressed his shirt to her injured shoulder as Sasha helped Becky up, the two as well as Alexa, Mickie, Charlotte and Bayley walking over and Mickie dropping to her knees, staying on Amanda's left side and

lightly stroking Amanda's hair, which was in a high ponytail that was slightly disheveled.

"Amanda… that was a nasty fall, kiddo…" Mickie says, Amanda letting out a shaky nod.

All five divas were in the ring earlier that day testing it out and it went fine, the ring held up.

Now all seven in the ring as well as the fans and everyone in the backstage area were questioning what the hell went wrong.
