Riott Through Adversity

A Few days after the rumble
(Dori POV)

Oh... hey! You guys must be with this whole doc thing that B was talking about. Anyways...

The Royal Rumble had come and gone, and even though only one of us was in their respective Rumble match, we both still had a good time... that was until I got to the back after my match.

Now... for a little bit of context, I had been dealing with a slight pain in my right shoulder for a while now. For a long time, I just... brushed it off, you know... didn't hurt too much, didn't hinder matches at all, I thought "eh, maybe it would soon pass," but... as days persisted, so did the pain.

During the tag match with Gionna I had on the pre-show, everything felt alright... until one bump when I landed a suplex with my shoulder underneath the rest of my body. Yeah... that sucker hurt, but regardless I carried on and finished the match. After we had our hands raised, we both walked to the back, and talked for a while.

"Hey Dori, you alright? I caught a glimpse of that bump while I was getting back in the ring... it looked worse than it should've."

G said in her concerned tone.

"Yeah... I'm good, might get my arm checked out at the trainer's, but I'll be fine."

"You need me to let Brandon know?"

"Meh... the last thing he needs before his big night is some bad news... trust me I'll be fine."

"Okay."

She said relieved, but still a little worried.

"If there's anything you need just let me know."

"Will do... see ya!"

"Bye!"

We said our goodbyes and parted ways as I walked to the trainer's room to see how bad this really was. Little did I know to the extent what damage had been done by that sketchy landing.

"Wait... So I need... Surgery?"

"I'm afraid so Mrs Prange, ASAP. Further damage to that shoulder could be detrimental to you ever wrestling again. I'm sorry."

"It's fine. I'll set up an appointment as soon as I can, thanks Doc."

I replied as I got up and left the room with an ice pack on my shoulder. As I walked towards our locker room, you'll never guess who I met along the way.

"Hey Dor... good match out ther- what's with the ice pack?"

At that point I froze. I didn't want to worry him about my injury but I couldn't live without telling the person I care about the most... i- it was too much... I wrapped my good arm around him in a hug and cried into his shoulder. He accepted it and wrapped his arms around me. To be real it was just us in that area backstage and I didn't really care if anyone found us. I just needed that time with him, and I didn't take it for granted.

"Bad time?"
He asked.

I lifted my head up, locked eyes with him, shook my head and buried it back in his shoulder.

"No time's a bad time when you're here..."

I reassured him as he started rubbing my back.

"I'm sorry... for breaking down on you this close to your big rumble match..."

"Don't worry about that... it's ok... I'm here now, I always have been, and I always will be... I love you."
