Alice paced back and forth in her locker room, the nerves never got to her that much until it came to the big events. This would be her third Royal Rumble since her last one in 2019, having missed out on 2020's, 2021's and 2022's for being out on injury, and being released didn't help that either. She broke her neck in 2020 and tore her ACL in late 2021. She considered retiring for good, but once Kenny got word about that from the Young Bucks, he convinced her not to.

And she listened and took his advice. She wasn't ready to leave this sport, that's why she debuted at SummerSlam, fueded with Damage CTRL beside Bianca and Asuka, ending it at Wargames until she took a small break after that due to personal issues. After talks with NJPW and WWE, she accepted their invitation to face Kairi Sane for the IWPG Women's Championship and return to Japan. Even though she lost, the match was outstanding, blowing everyone's minds when Mercedes Moné debuted to challenge Kairi, who retained.

The night was one of the greatest nights of her career by far, and it became better when Kenny invited Alice over to his room for drinks like they used to. That's how they got back together after years of Kenny waiting for her to come back to him. He had zero doubts she would. And she did.

A knock on the door snapped Alice from her thoughts. "It's open!" She said, adjusting the tape around her hands. Cody opened the door, making sure his eyes were closed in case she wasn't dressed. "Are we decent?" Cody asked, keeping his back turned.

Alice chuckled at him, "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have let you in." She said. Cody shrugged and turned to look at her, moving his hand from his eyes. "I'm just being cautious after what happened last time. Plus, Kenny would kill me if I saw you naked, and that doesn't entirely sound pleasing at the moment." He said, plopping himself onto the comfortable couch as she was always given the best locker rooms, even if she didn't ask or want them.

"Seeing me naked or Kenny killing you?" Alice smirked teasingly at her friend and he rolled his eyes. "If I said the first option, you would be offended, and if I say the second, Brandi would kill me for not saying the first. So in conclusion, I say both." Cody answered. "That was a long answer but good choice, I'm not offended. And it's not like you haven't seen me naked before." Alice shrugged, sitting down on the couch next to him and grabbing more tape on the table.

"Yeah, I try not to think about that night, like ever." Cody pursed his lips, looking at her shaky hands. "You okay? You're shaking more than normal." Cody pulled her hands to him and applied the tape around her hand as she was shaking too much to do it herself. "I'm just a little scared, I guess. I'm supposed to be a sole survivor but I feel like I'm not cut out for that." Alice said.

"You need to stop doubting yourself out there. You're one of the best if not greatest women's wrestler in the world. You've proved that countless times, from the minute you main evented a wrestlekingdom when no woman has ever been considered doing that to returning to wresting after two fatal injuries that would make most people retire. Nobody holds the desire and passion you have when you step into that ring. You have nothing to lose, Alice, and that's what makes you the strongest. You earned your spot, and you're gonna kill it."

Alice smiled at Cody's kind words, he always did have a way with words. He was always one of her biggest supporters from the moment they met and it warmed her heart indefinitely. "You're like my biggest supporter ever. I don't deserve you." Alice smiled, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Ouu don't let Kenny hear you say that, he might come here just to kick my ass," Cody mumbled with a small chuckle. Alice shook her head in amusement as Cody smoothed the tape down. "Yeah, I wish he was here," she mumbled, a bit disappointingly.

"Now that the topic is on Kenny, I want to show you something. Finish getting dressed and meet me in my locker room, Brandi will get the door." Cody said, standing up and brushing off his ring pants.

"Bloody hell if you made a fucking cardboard cut out of him like last time, I'm gonna fucking kill you." Alice said, pointing an accusing finger at the blonde man.

"That was the bucks idea for the last time!" Cody shouted as he exit the room.

Alice shook her head and finished getting into her gear that was designed by one of her fans, inspired by the gear she wore when she tagged with Kenny for the first time in Impact. And obviously made by her best friend Azalea Evans, who she actually hadn't seen since morning after they said they'd meet up at the arena. Alice quickly shrugged it off and headed towards Cody's locker room after getting directions.

Knocking on the door, it took a few seconds before Brandi opened the door with a huge smile on her face. "Hey Ally, how are you?" Brandi asked as if they hadn't just talked hours ago. "What the hell is going on? You look suspicious." Alice accused, trying to look into the room but nobody appeared to be in eyesight.

"Suspicious? Who's suspicious? Not me." Brandi denied, obviously a horrible liar and Alice knew that. Hearing some shuffling around, Alice furrowed her brows and gently pushed past Brandi and into the room. Turning to her left she gaped in shock, Kenny smiled and awkwardly waved at his girlfriend who was just standing and staring in shock. "Yo, is she okay?" Ricky Starks who was there in support of Cody, had questioned to them.

"Give her minute, she's just in shock," Azalea reassured and Ricky hummed in acknowledgement.

"You're such an asshole," Alice shoved Kenny's shoulder with a glare, getting mixed confusions from Cody, Brandi and Ricky. Azalea and Kenny already knew she'd react like that. "You said you were gonna be in Japan and wouldn't be able to make it! That's so cruel! You can't just show up here unexpected and expect me to just smother you in kisses-" Alice was cut off when Kenny pressed his lips against hers and she kissed back for a second before pulling away. "Stop doing that!"

"Doing what?" Kenny furrowed his brows, pretending to be oblivious.

"You just kissed me to shut me up!" Alice retorted. "True. Did you at least miss me? Just a little bit?" Kenny smiled, pulling her closer by her belt loops and she smiled. "Maybe." Alice wrapped her arms around Kenny with a smile, flipping off Cody and Azalea who made fake kissing noises.

"Now that we got that out of the way, I think I deserve a hug for making this happen." Azalea said, clasping her hands together as the couple pulled away. "I truly don't know how you do it. Thank you darling." Alice brought her best friend into a hug and Azalea smirked teasingly at Kenny who held an unimpressed look.

"Who do you thinks gonna marry her first? Kenny or Azalea?" Ricky asked Cody and Brandi, leaning up against the wall next to them as both Kenny and Azalea playfully argued over who's better. "It's a close call but I'd say Kenny. Only because Izzy and Rhea are getting very serious as the time goes by." Cody answered and Brandi nodded in agreement with her husband.

"Mhm, otherwise Azalea totally smokes Kenny," Ricky said, getting a nod of agreement from the married couple.

"You two are children," Alice scolded, getting in between Kenny and Azalea. "We have to go take pictures so I will be right back," Alice pressed a kiss to Kenny's cheek. "Have fun with that," Kenny waved them off as Alice dragged Azalea out of the room.

"Do you guys know what number she enters at? She didn't tell me." Kenny asked Cody as they were sat down in catering watching the Women's Royal Rumble to support Alice and Azalea. "All I know is that Izzy enters at number 24," Cody said, taking a sip of his water. He was still obviously running on a lot of adrenaline after winning the Men's Royal Rumble match.

Azalea ran down the halls, mumbling apologies as she ran into people. After finally making it to catering, she looked around for the table Kenny was at with Cody, Brandi/w Libby, and Ricky. Izzy ran over and took a long breath, finally making it to the table and everyone looked at her. "Sorry, I just ran here from the gorilla. Right, uh Ally told me to tell you that she enters at number 29 and that she needs her phone," Azalea said before taking a sip of the cold water Ricky handed her.

"Okay, thanks Iz." Kenny pulled out Alice's phone from his pocket and handed it to Izzy. "Oh and Alice added fifty more dollars to the bet that she's gonna get a bigger pop than you," Azalea spoke towards Cody who scoffed in offense. "Fine, I'll add fifty to mine. Can't wait to win," Cody smirked. Kenny and Izzy shared looks, already knowing Alice was definitely gonna get a bigger pop than Cody did.

"Good luck, superstar," Izzy winked and ran off, headed back to the gorilla to give Alice her phone.

"You're gonna lose," Kenny and Ricky stated in unison. Cody gaped in offense, "I get Kenny's reasoning for choosing Alice but really Ricky? You're picking her over me?" Ricky chuckled, "Technically, Brandi would also pick her but she knows it would hurt your feelings if she did," Ricky pointed out. Cody looked at his wife who avoided eye contact and he feigned an offended look. "Wow. You should've just married Alice instead," Cody mumbled.

Brandi laughed and Libby giggled, "She's godmother for a reason." Brandi shrugged.

"Five, four, three, two, one!" Everyone counted down for number 29 and Alice's music hit. She got the loudest pop of the night from what they heard. "She got a bigger pop than you Cody," Kenny chuckled, watching the TV with a proud smile.

"ALICE KINGLEY IS BACK AFTER WEEKS OF BEING GONE!! I HAVE A NEW PICK FOR THE RUMBLE!" Corey Graves exclaimed. Alice walked down the ramp, basking in the cheers and chants of her name. Rhea stood up, glaring daggers at Alice who stood on the ring apron with a small smirk. But Rhea didn't notice Azalea standing right behind her, the crowd cheered louder as the camera panned at her.

"Behind you darling," Alice spoke. Rhea furrowed her brows and turned around slowly, immediately being hit with a knee and Izzy hooked her arms, performing a Dirty Deeds. Rhea groaned and kneeled against the bottom rope. Kenny furrowed her brows, the scene looking all too familiar. Alice smirked and ran against the ropes, using them for speed as she hit Rhea with a V-Trigger. "And what Alice calls a V-Trigger to Ripley!!"

Kenny chuckled and shook his head, not aware Alice planned that out but he loved it anyway. Alice and Izzy both looked at each other, neither forgetting how Alice had been distant with Izzy before she departed. "HUG IT OUT! HUG IT OUT!" The crowd chanted. Alice grinned before she and Izzy embraced, getting another huge pop from the crowd, almost like they woke them up.

"That hug almost got a bigger pop than you did," Ricky snorted and Kenny chuckled. Cody rolled his eyes at all the teasing and pressed a kiss to Libby's cheek as she watched her godmother on the TV.

And that's when they suddenly heard her music. Nia Jax had returned. "Number 30! Are you kidding me?! The Irresistible Force is back!!" Alice and Azalea both turned to look at the entrance ramp, Alice immediately shaking her head in denial. "Alice looks scared for the first time ever in her career! This is the woman who broke her neck and almost ended her career!"

Alice shook her head and slid out of the ring, leaning against the announcement table. Nia stepped into the ring, every woman was on their feet, staring her down, especially Azalea. "What are you gonna do??! I dare you!" Nia taunted the women, more specifically looking at Rhea and Azalea who stood next to each other, glaring at the Irresistible Force. Everyone charged at her but she exploded out of it, knocking down each woman.

A few came at her, only to get knocked back down. Raquel stood up to her, sending a few forearms and attempting, but ultimately failing to lift her up. Liv Morgan attempted next, but ultimately got thrown to the side. "I'm back bitch!" Nia screamed. Only turning around, she was hit with a super kick from Michelle McCool, a back fist by Asuka, a code breaker by Liv, followed by another one from Asuka.

Nia was now leaning in the corner, she went towards Rhea who attempted to lift her, but ultimately failing. Rhea hit her a few times to weaken her and was able to perform a riptide to Nia Jax. Azalea finally stepped up, waiting for Nia to get up, she circled her. Nia weakly pulled herself to her feet, only walking into Azalea who lifted her above her shoulders. The audience jumped out of their chairs in shock at her strength. Nia sat atop Izzy's shoulder, "What in the hell is going on??!! Nia Jax is sitting on Izzy's shoulders, this is insane!"

Izzy hooked her arm around Nia and performed the One Winged Angel in the middle of the ring, shocking everyone who watched, including Kenny. "That was literally the coolest thing I've ever seen," Kenny expressed. He knew Izzy was gonna use his move as she had asked his permission on the ride over but he had no clue it was gonna be on Nia Jax and look that cool.

"NO FREAKING WAY THAT JUST HAPPENED?!" Pat McAfee flipped out, holding his hands on his head in disbelief.

Azalea breathed heavily, still in shock that she pulled that off. The crowd was in absolute shock, chanting, "HOLY SHIT!" repeatedly. As Nia had pulled herself to her knees she was hit with a sudden V-Trigger, courtesy of Alice. "Get her out!" Alice exclaimed at all the women who had been just watching with complete shock. All the women teamed together and lifted Nia over the top rope, eliminating her.

Alice and Izzy both grinned and flipped her off, standing in between Raquel and Rhea who waved tauntingly at Nia. Alice got herself into it with Michelle McCool as Izzy went on to fight Shozi and Sonya. Raquel grabbed onto Izzy and they both had a stare down, Izzy just a bit shorter than Raquel but with way more muscle. Izzy shoved Raquel into the ropes, she ran, attempting for a big boot to Iz but Izzy responded with a huge spear. The crowd stood to their feet once more, never seeing Raquel take a spear like that.

"Raquel just got speared in half by Azalea! This is nothing new from Azalea but it's rare anyone is able to match Raquel's power!" Michael Cole expressed on commentary.

Alice walked over and helped Izzy pull up the dazed Raquel onto her knees. They held her arms and both hit her with their knee to her face. Alice hoisted Raquel onto her shoulders, surprising everyone watching. It was rare Alice put anyone on her shoulders since returning from injury as it wasn't that safe for her neck but she had confidence in her how much her body could take. Azalea ran into the ropes, using them as leverage, she ran and hit a high kick to Raquel just as Alice dropped her and Raquel fell over the rope, eliminating her.

"RAQUEL IS ELIMINATED!! It wasn't easy but Alice and Azalea got the job done!"

Alice laid down in the corner, leaning against the ropes to catch her breath and a referee made sure to check if she was okay. Obviously this made everyone backstage a bit concerned but Kenny knew she was just selling.

While that was happening, Asuka and Azalea had got into it. Asuka had Izzy into an arm bar but Izzy rolled around and managed to hoist up Asuka onto her shoulders into a powerbomb position. Azalea put Asuka over the top rope and Asuka managed to remain on the apron. Sonya Deville interfered, only for Azalea to throw her over the top rope, unfortunately not eliminated yet as she stood on the apron.

Azalea seen Asuka and Sonya on the apron and attempted to push them off, only getting stuck between the top and middle rope, just for Sonya and Asuka to both kick her in the face. Azalea fell back, groaning in pain as Asuka eliminated Sonya with a kick. Michelle McCool was next to get eliminated, courtesy of Rhea Ripley. Next was Shotzi, courtesy of Mia Yim, only she got eliminated next courtesy of Piper Niven.

As Piper turned around she was faced with Azalea Evans who held a wicked grin on her face. Piper and Azalea ran into each other, attempting for a closeline tackle bur neither of them moved. Azalea went for a forearm, only it was blocked, she was turned around and Piper performed a back suplex to Izzy which was rare to see as very few matched her strength. As Izzy was down in the corner, Piper performed a perfect cannonball onto her.

Piper hit the top turnbuckle, signaling she was gonna go to the tope rope. But as she went for some kind of splash, she didn't see Alice drag Izzy out of the way. Alice caught Pipers feet and shoved her over the tope and onto the apron. She ran to the ropes, using them for speed, she hit Piper with a V-Trigger. "And another devastating V-Trigger by Alice, eliminating Piper Niven to save her best friend Azalea!" Cole said.

"That is one hell of a friendship and I want it," Corey added.

Alice stood up, raising her arms to gloat only she didn't see Rhea Ripley running at her from behind. Azalea shoved Alice away and caught Rhea's leg, hoisting Rhea onto her shoulders, another rare sight to see. "AZALEA'S GOT RHEA! RIPLEY'S IN DANGER!" Azalea tried putting Rhea over the tope rope only Rhea kept her legs attached to Izzy and pulled her over in the process so both of them landed on the apron.

Azalea and Rhea brawled on the apron, Izzy pulling Rhea onto her feet. Alice ran to shove Rhea off only Rhea moved out of the way and Alice ended up knocking Izzy off the apron, eliminating her. "ALICE JUST ELIMINATED HER OWN BEST FRIEND!! WHAT THE HELL?!" Pat McAfee exclaimed in shock.

"Hey it was an honest mistake on Alice's part!! She didn't mean to eliminate her best friend!" Corey defended.

Alice stood there in shock, getting a look of disbelief from Azalea meanwhile Rhea held the biggest grin as she slid back inside the ring, safe from elimination. This left Alice Kingley, Rhea Ripley, Asuka and Liv Morgan left in the match. "We are down to the final four, "The King" Alice Kingley, "The Eradicator" Rhea Ripley, "The Empress of Tomorrow" Asuka, and Liv Morgan!" Michael Cole announced.

"Did Alice say who's winning?" Ricky asked, more specifically Kenny and Cody who talked to Alice more. "No she's been keeping it a secret from everyone. I tried to get Izzy to tell me but she didn't budge," Kenny answered, his eyes not leaving the TV, watching as Alice, Liv, Asuka and Rhea all circled the ring, waiting to see who makes the first move. Alice was first to run at Rhea, only Rhea grabbed onto her and threw her out of the ring, thankfully between the middle rope so she wasn't eliminated.

Rhea and Liv teamed up on Asuka before Liv had gotten Rhea over the top rope and onto the apron. But Rhea dragged Liv over the top rope, knocking her down, Asuka interfered, getting pulled over the tope by Ripley instead. Now left the four on the apron, close to elimination. Asuka sprayed the mist, aiming for Rhea who ducked and it hit Morgan instead, causing her to react like any would being sprayed in the eyes.

Using the distraction wisely, Rhea kicked Asuka off the apron, eliminating her. So now it left Liv, Rhea and Alice who was still recovering on the outside. Liv, who was still blinded, performed a codebreaker to Rhea, making her slip on the apron but her hands hooked onto the top rope, still safe as her feet didn't touch the floor. Liv tried hitting Rhea's hands off but Rhea hooked her legs around Liv's head and pulled her off the apron, eliminating her.

Everyone cheered, thinking Rhea won and she thought that also. Rhea slid into the ring, confused on why her music wasn't playing and she wasn't announced the winner. As she slowly turned around, the cheers grew louder seeing Alice stand in the ring. Rhea clenched her jaw in frustration as Alice waved her fingers teasingly. "I'm the greatest wrestler in the entire world sweetheart! You think it's that easy to get rid of me?! You're not even on my level goth girl!" Alice spoke, getting it on the mics loud and clear.

"Alice Kingley VS Rhea Ripley! Some would say this is a dream match! Alice Kingley is the very woman most superstars want approval from, most girls wanna make an impression on her. This is Ripley's chance to make that impression! But will it go over with Kingley?!" Practically everyone in the arena was on their feet for this. The future of the company VS a history maker. The potential story in the making between Ripley and Kingley if done right could be one of the greatest women's fueds of all time.

Alice ran at Rhea, both using the ropes for speed only Alice ran right into a spear by Ripley. "Not so great now, are you?!" Rhea taunted.

Alice shook her head, not letting Rhea get the best of her. Rhea pulled her up, only Alice knee'd her and hooked her arms in Rhea's, performing a dragon suplex. Alice stood to her feet, knowing she had to wrap it up, she jumped on the middle rope, going to the top rope, ready to performed her finisher but Rhea stood up quickly and shoved her off, knocking her off the top rope and landing roughly on her neck. She was meant to stay on the apron but she felt her body give out and fall to the floor, eliminated.

"Rhea Ripley just eliminated Alice Kingley!! What the hell?!" Michael expressed in shock. "Rhea's going to WrestleMania!" Rhea grinned, biting the rope as her music played though she was extremely concerned for Alice. "Here is your 2023 Women's Royal Rumble winner, Rhea Ripley!"

"Was that supposed to happen?" Kenny and Cody stood up in concern after seeing the way Alice landed. "Come on, she's gonna be in the gorilla," Cody said towards Kenny. "Am I even allowed in there?" Kenny asked as he followed Cody down the halls towards the gorilla. "You just have to tell them you're her boyfriend and they'll be fine with it," Cody reassured even if he thought it was insanely obvious that Kenny and Alice were dating. It didn't take a miracle for the public to figure that out no matter how much Kenny and Alice avoided anything about them being together.

By time they made it in the gorilla, Alice was just being helped inside. Kenny immediately rushed over to Alice before Azalea could even make a move towards her. "You okay? That was a nasty landing." Kenny said, cupping her jaw gently as she chuckled, "You're cute when you're concerned," Alice let go of the referees to put her arms around Kenny.

"We think it's a concussion," The trainer spoke to Azalea who now stood beside Kenny, her hand on Alice's back. "Alright uh, just give us a minute and you can take her to trainer's to confirm it," Azalea said, getting a nod in response from the woman.

Cody went to check on Alice as Azalea went to let Triple H know what was happening. "She's gonna be alright, they think it's a concussion." Azalea informed her boss. "It could be worse so that's good to hear. We can have someone take her so you can congratulate your girlfriend when she gets back here," Triple H said, referring to Rhea who would most likely wanna see Izzy first when she walked through the curtains.

"That's okay, her boyfriend's gonna be with her, he'll take care of her," Izzy said, gestured to Kenny who pressed a kiss to Alice's cheek. "Ah okay, I didn't know she was seeing anyone. That's good. Once the main event is over, I'll go check in on her," he said, obviously perfectly okay with Kenny being backstage. Just as he was okay with Ricky being backstage to support Cody.

Azalea made her way back over to Kenny, Cody and Alice. "Triple H is gonna come check on her after the show, so just telling you beforehand. I'll catch up with you guys soon, I gotta go congratulate my girl." Izzy patted Kenny's shoulder and walked through the curtains, waiting for Rhea who was almost there.

Kenny and Cody helped Alice onto the back of the golf cart they use to help wrestler get to their destinations faster. "I'm gonna get Brandi and Ricky and we'll meet you there, okay?" Cody said as Kenny sat down next to Alice, letting her rest her head on his chest. Kenny nodded and Cody gestured for the guy who was the driver to drive off.

As they rode there, Becky and Seth spotted the two and Becky gestured for the driver to stop and he did. Becky jogged over, Seth shortly behind her with Roux, both concerned for their friend after seeing how she landed in the Rumble. Everyone was talking about it the minute it happened, the news got around quick to everyone. "Are you taking her to the trainers?" Becky asked Kenny.

"Yeah," Kenny answered simply.

"You mind if I join ya?" Becky smiled faintly, glancing at Seth to make sure he was okay with watching Roux until she got back in which she got a nod in response.

"Sure thing," Kenny agreed, knowing how close the two were. Alice referred to Becky as a little sister a lot of the times. Becky also wanted to return the favor as Alice had went to the hospital with Becky after she broke her nose in 2018 and anytime Becky got hurt, Alice always went with her to get checked out. She did it for a lot of the girls but mostly Becky, and obviously Azalea.

"I'll be back soon," Becky kissed Seth's cheek and then Roux's before sitting on the back next to Alice. Seth watched as they drove away, still a little unsure how to feel about Kenny. He knew he was a good guy but anytime he saw Kenny his mind always drifted to the time Kenny mocked his nudes getting leaked when Seth copied Kenny's move in a match. It was a harmless joke but it still kinda bothered Seth.

"I'm Becky, nice to finally meet you by the way." She stuck out her hand with a smile, "I'm Kenny, it's so good to finally meet you too. Ally is always talking good things about you so it's nice to finally be able to meet you," he said as he shook the gingers hand gently.

"I could say the exact same about you. I'm so glad you two got back together, she's been way more happier since." Becky said. Alice groaned, "Oh please, don't boost the man's ego. He already thinks he's better than me."

"That's because I am better," Kenny shrugged, causing Alice to slowly sit up to look at him. "Just because you did my finisher a little better than me, ONCE, doesn't mean you're better." Alice scoffed, rubbing her head gently as Becky chuckled at the two, finally seeing why everyone loved the two together. "I think it does though," Kenny smirked, before Alice could argue, he put a hand over her mouth. "Woah there, you need to calm down before you give yourself a migraine. You already have a concussion."

Alice frowned, "I do not have a concussion. If I did, I would know, I've had several." Alice denied. "We'll just have to see what the doctors say. How's your neck?" Kenny asked, gently pulling Alice back to him. "It's hurts," Alice mumbled, laying her head back on his chest.

"Hopefully it's nothin' serious, you're supposed to be on the elimination chamber card," Becky said. Kenny furrowed his brows, surprised Alice never brought that up to him. "You're gonna be on Elimination Chamber?" Kenny asked Alice, glancing down at her and she pursed her lips awkwardly. "Uh...yeah, I am actually," Alice spoke. Becky sucked in a breath, wondering if she might have started an argument.

"Is that why you canceled dinner with my family? It's supposed to be on the day before the paper view." Kenny said in confusion. Alice sat up to look at him and Becky patted her knee in apology. "Okay so I sorta kinda lied about that. I am gonna be in Canada on that day but the truth is, I'm terrified of your family. They literally have never liked me since we first started dating. I still don't even know why. They probably hate me even more because we broke up." Alice rambled.

"Alice, they don't hate you. They barely know you," Kenny defended.

"Exactly! They read what everyone else reads about me. They probably think I'm a slut or something. I didn't exactly make the best first impression on them." Alice rubbed her head, feeling stressed and Becky rubbed her back in comfort.
"You're not a slut and half of those are just rumors. If it makes you more comfortable, I'll talk to them, okay?" Alice smiled and nodded, leaning back on his chest as they neared the trainers room.

"You guys should get married, you're too cute," Becky spoke. Kenny chuckled nervously which caused Becky to raise a brow in suspicion. Luckily the car stopped and Alice didn't question anything. Alice put her arms around Kenny and Becky, letting them help her walk as she felt way to dizzy. Kenny helped Alice onto the table as the trainer replayed what happened. "Was it supposed to go like that, Alice?" He asked as he put on some gloves.

"No, I was supposed to land on the apron and she was supposed to give me a riptide to eliminate me. I just my hands sorta slipped because of the oil from the girls and my body just gave out when I fell like that. I was in and out of consciousness too," Alice explained as he shined the light in her eyes. The black eye she had was obvious and it was clear to him she had a concussion but it wasn't too serious, she just had to take it easy.

"I can confirm you do have a concussion, shouldn't be too serious though, I just recommend taking it easy. And you got a black eye but I'm sure you're used to those. I also recommend going to a doctor to get some tests done just to make sure everything is good with your neck that I can't see." He said, handing Alice a bag of ice for her eye. "Alright, thank you," Alice said, holding the ice against her eye.

"You can go if you want, I know you want to be there when Kevin and Sami come back after the match. I appreciate you coming with me though," Alice smiled, squeezing Becky's hand. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, go be with your family," Alice encouraged. Becky smiled and pressed a kiss to her head, "I'll check in with you later, okay?" Alice nodded and watched as Becky said bye to Kenny before leaving the room.

Once Kevin Owens VS Roman Reigns, the main event, had finished, it was only minutes later that Triple H was knocking on the door to Alice's locker room. Alice was laying on the couch with an eye pack on her face and sat up more straighter when she heard the knock. "I'll get it," Kenny said so she could lay back down.

Kenny made his way to the door and opened in, faced with Triple H who held a concerned look, still worried for Alice. Just because they didn't see anything physically wrong with her neck, doesn't mean something didn't go wrong. And neck injuries were always tricky to deal with. "Uh hi, Triple H, right?" Kenny stuck out his hand, it but surprised Triple H was coming to see Alice immediately after the show. Most times they'd wait until an hour or so after.

"Yeah, it's nice to finally meet you. You can just call me Paul or Hunter, which ever works for you." He replied, shaking Kenny's hand. "Oh okay, it's nice to meet you, Hunter. I'm assuming you're here to see, Alice?" Kenny opened the door wider, letting Hunter enter the room. "Yes, that fall she took on her neck was nasty looking so I just wanted to make sure everything's all good. I can have doctors appointment scheduled for tomorrow so they can do tests if she's up to it." Hunter spoke as he followed Kenny over to the couch.

"Baby, Hunter is here to check on you. He wants to know if you're okay with an appointment with the doctor tomorrow to run some tests on your neck," He said as he removed the ice pack of her face. Hunter couldn't help but wince slightly at the black eye she had. Alice squinted at the light and slowly sat up seeing Hunter sat on the edge of the couch. "That's nice of you and yes I would love that actually, maybe around afternoon time if you can make that happen." Alice held the ice pack to her head, feeling a little defeated. She absolutely hated getting injured so it always made her feel weak when she did.

"That's great, I'll have that done soon. Is there anything else wrong besides the eye, that you know of?" He asked.

"Just a concussion but he said it's not too serious so I should most likely only be out for a week or two. But, I should be fine for Elimination Chamber unless doctors say otherwise." Alice smiled, glancing at Kenny, happy he was gonna be able to make it for Elimination Chamber as it was in Montreal, Canada and he didn't have anything scheduled that weekend. "That's good to know, hopefully we can get you cleared by then cause we still have big plans for you."

"That's wonderful to hear. Also, will I still be able to do the press conference, or was I taken off?" Alice questioned. "You're spot is still open with Azalea if you're up for it. I just figured you'd wanna leave as soon as possible." Hunter said, standing to his feet.

"Oh no, I actually really wanna go do it still. Can I get a ride there?" Alice stood up with Kenny's help and grabbed her black bullet club zip up jacket. "Of course," Hunter nodded. Alice smiled and put on the jacket that went down to her thighs. "I'll be back soon, you can stay here or go to catering or Cody's locker room. You alright with that?" Alice asked Kenny, going to follow Hunter out.

"Yeah, of course. Have fun."

Azalea stood beside Alice, helping her stay up with her arm over her shoulder. Bray Wyatt had just finished his part and walked past them, not before asking if she was okay and seeing if she needed anything. "Our next guests just made their returns to the Royal Rumble after a rough three years, and made a huge impression in the match. Introducing, "The Lunatic Fringe" Azalea Evans and "The King" Alice Kingley." Byron Saxton announced on the mic before their music played.

Azalea helped Alice walked up the stairs and help her sit down, which did raise obvious concerns. Alice made a gesture for them to turn on the music as it was giving her a headache and they immediately turned it off. "Hello, everyone," Alice greeted softly into the mic as Azalea gave a small wave to some familiar faces in the room.

The first person to ask a question was Ryan Satin, someone mostly all wrestlers were familiar with. "Hi, this is for Alice. Uhm Alice, I'm pretty sure a lot of us noticed how you landed towards the end of the match. Seeing as Azalea had to help you walk, do you mind sharing what injuries you may have obtained?" He questioned, having stood up to see Alice better as she was having trouble seeing him.

"I'm sorry, I'm having trouble seeing you all correctly. Can someone get my glasses for me, please?" Alice looked towards one of the workers and they gave her a thumbs up and ran to fetch her glasses. "If I'm not looking at you, I apologize. But, yes I can inform you of what's going on." Alice said, Izzy rubbing her back in a comforting manner.

"Other than the black eye, as for now, it appears to be a concussion, which is nothing new for me but they do tend to have horrible effects on me. And I have an appointment with a doctor tomorrow to run some tests on my neck just for extra precautions. We don't want to take any chances, considering how complicated neck injuries can be and with my history, I'd be dangerous not to double check." Alice explained, by the time she was finished, they brought her glasses.

Azalea stood up and grabbed them, then handed them to Alice who put them on with a small smile. "Alright, that's much better, thank you doll."

The next person introduced themselves and who they worked for before getting to the question. "This is for the both of you. Uh, how do both of you feel about the outcome of the royal rumble matches?"

"Both of them?" Izzy questioned.

"Yes."

"Well, for me personally, I absolutely loved the way the women's match turned out excluding Ally getting hurt. But it was extremely personal for me to see Rhea win the Rumble. It's a huge accomplishment for her career and being so young, it's amazing how far she's come. I remember the first time I met her, it was at tryouts, they wanted me to be there and check out the talent and we ran into each other and I just knew from that moment, she was gonna be the future of this company. So, seeing her get that moment was incredible."

"As for the men's, that match was obviously incredible. I'm extremely happy for Cody, it was great to see him have that moment. I know in my heart that Dusty would incredibly proud of him." Azalea finished up so Alice could go next but Alice had no problem listening to Izzy talk. Alice was always the bigger star of the two to the public eye but to Alice, she dedicated a lot of that to Izzy.

"And as a lot of you know, Cody's been apart of my life for more than a decade, and we always talked about our dreams together and he always wanted to win that title and main event WrestleMania. So, seeing him earn that ticket to that main event is so special to me. We always said if one of us couldn't do it, the other had to and this year he's gonna be doing that. Overall, I can't wait for him to finish the story and make Dusty proud, not that he already isn't." Alice smiled, loving when she got to speak highly of her friends.

"I remember when I first met Rhea Ripley, she was sixteen/seventeen in Riot City Wrestling. I had booked a match that night there and once I was done, I went to the back and she came up to me, she was like "how did you just do that? can you teach me?" and she was so eager to learn and improve." Azalea smiled to herself hearing Alice speak highly about her girlfriend.

"At that time I was going through a lot mentally, and she seen that and invited me to come over to dinner at her family's. She was so extremely kind to me and we talked all night about wrestling and our dreams and I hadn't seen someone so incredibly passionate about wrestling in a long time. When I got that call from her that she was going to the WWE, I cried tears of happiness cause I was finally going to be able to work with her."

"Years later we were always dodging each other constantly, and everyone just wanted that one on one match with us after gettin' that tease at Wargames and now today. Even though I was in and out of consciousness, when I heard her music play and them announce her name as the winner, I couldn't have been more proud of the woman and wrestler she's grown into. So I'm very happy and confident in these Royal Rumble winners and I can only pray that they can get the job done." Alice finished up, unaware that Rhea was watching with tears in her eyes.

The next person stated their name and who they worked for. "This question is for both of you. Where do you see yourselves next? As to storylines and fued, who would you want to have a story with?"

"Uhm, you know I hadn't really thought much about that. I would love to win Elimination Chamber and go after Bianca Belair. I haven't worked a one on one match with her yet so I feel like that's something a lot of people are eager to see. It really all depends on how it goes cause I can see Alice or Asuka winning the elimination chamber too, depending on if Alice is cleared. I wouldn't mind helping Alice beat Bianca's ass," Azalea chuckled, quickly mumbling an apology for cussing.

"I would love that, just like the old days when she had my back against Charlotte." Alice added, getting a wink from Izzy. "As for myself, I would love to fued with Bianca Belair rather than when we were her partners in Wargames. We teased it already and it'd be rude if we didn't at least do that in the future, I know it's a dream match for some. But as for now, I'm pretty content with doing whatever comes our way and hopefully it leads us in the path of championships." Alice answered honestly.

"This is for both. What was the concept of your gear tonight?" She asked.

Azalea decided to answer first as Alice was getting her answer together in her head without trying to mention Kenny. "My gear was heavily inspired by my first royal rumble gear, which was dedicated to Chyna. Made by me obviously, I used that concept and mashed it with my current style so that's how it came to be." Azalea answered.

"First off, my gear tonight was made by this lovely woman next to me, so applauds to her. She's incredible, she never let's me down." Izzy smiled and patted Ally's hand. "The inspiration for this gear goes all the way back to my first mixed tag match in Impact with a great friend of mine. I always enjoyed matching with my partners, and so we matched our gear and it came together beautifully. I'll post close up shots on my socials for everyone to get a closer look on it. So yeah, I wanted to do a little tribute to kinda give him a little shout out of appreciation." Alice winked subtly at the end of her sentence.

"This question is kinda for both of you. The fans have been kinda been wanting another Alice VS Azalea fued since you both returned and tonight with Alice eliminating you, I was wondering if another fued is in the making for you?" Another reporter questioned.

"I feel like it's definitely in the future, maybe even for a title. I mean I've always loved feuding with Alice, and as much as nothing can ever top our first feud, I would love to do it again, I've had so many ideas for the story that I really wanna do. She's my favorite person to wrestle and I can't imagine not being able to wrestle her again." Azalea answered, not even having to think much about her answer for it.

"I couldn't agree more with Iz. I mean if I were to retire, I'd want this woman to be my last match." Alice stated, not surprising anyone as Alice has always hinted that she would retire against her best friend.

"We can do one more question," Azalea said, noticing Alice was getting more tired as they talked.

"Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful. This is for Alice. You mentioned your first mixed tag match. Is there anyone in particular that you would want to do a mixed tag match with one last time if you could?" He asked.

Alice smirked to herself, knowing he was trying to get her to talk about Kenny or someone from NJPW that's she's worked with before. "Oh yeah, I see what you did there. Good one," Alice said causing him and the others to let out small chuckles.

"Uh, you know I only really did mixed tag matches with my closest friends when I was in the Bullet Club. So if I were to tag team with anyone else again it'd definitely have to be Kenny Omega. He's my second favorite tag partner after Azalea." Alice finished up, silently cursing at herself for failing to not mention Kenny. She got asked trick questions like those all the time cause they knew what her answer would be.

Azalea helped Alice up carefully, "I'm gonna take one of these before Cody does," Azalea mumbled into the mic, grabbing a MTN Dew 'Pitch Black' drink. The people chuckled at her comment about Cody as Izzy helped Alice down the small steps.

"Why did I have to get a concussion the same night I finally get to see my boyfriend? This is so fucking cursed." Alice groaned, leaning her head on Izzy's shoulder. Azalea should her head slightly in amusement, "I've had sex when I had a concussion so I think you still can."

"No, I feel like I'd get nauseous. And you know how Kenny can be, he's very protective so he's gonna want me to take it easy, which means no sexual intercourse whatsoever." Alice said with a disappointed sigh.

"See that's the type of shit that makes me question why you two aren't married yet."

"Why? Cause we don't feel the need to jump each other's bones?" Alice hummed in amusement.

"No. Cause he cares about you."
