Chapter 4: Behold Ulysses
Smackdown was in Atlantic City, New Jersey and "Eddie's Angels" have gone out of the car with and went inside the arena.
"So, you want me to walk you girls to the locker room?" Dave said.
"No, we're fine," Rochelle said.
"Alright, be careful."
"See you in a bit," Nicole said.
Then Nicole, Delancey, Rochelle, and Brittany walked down the hallway until they reached the Women's Locker Room and when they went inside, Michelle McCool and Buffy were there.
"Hello, girls," Delancey said.
"Hey," Michelle and Buffy said.
"What's going on?" Michelle said.
"Well, it just so happens that Maxim's hottest women are making an appearance on Smackdown tonight," Brittany said.
"Maxim's hottest women?" Buffy said.
"Oh, yeah," Rochelle said, "for the second year in a row."
"Third year for me," Nicole said.
"And it just so happens that another member of 'Eddie's Angels' has topped the list this year and it's not me," Rochelle said.
"Delancey?" Buffy said.
"Yep, lucky me," Delancey said.
"Wow, congratulations," Michelle said.
"Thank you, Bobby just called me and said he found out on the Internet. I still can't believe it."
"Well, you deserve it."
"So, Buffy, how are you doing since Smackdown is in your hometown of Atlantic City, New Jersey?" Nicole said.
"I feel good," Buffy said. "I mean, I haven't done much on Smackdown since I moved from ECW, but I'm hanging in there."
Buffy was an interviewer on ECW in the beginning of last year before moving to Smackdown thanks to Diva Search contestant Lena Yada taking her place.
"Well, you probably need this locker room," Michelle said, "so we'll leave you alone."
"Yeah, see ya," Buffy said.
Then Michelle and Buffy left the Women's Locker Room.
"Well, I'll probably start keeping a lookout," Brittany said as she set down her bag and left the Women's Locker Room.
"Well, tonight's the night Smackdown will see a new bombshell drop from 'Eddie's Angels,'" Delancey said as she sat down the bench. "They will not see this coming."
"I don't think Vickie and La Familia won't expect what's coming," Nicole said, "especially since Edge lost his World Heavyweight Championship match and can't speak when the Undertaker got that chokehold on him."
Then the girls laughed.
"Yeah, and poor little Vickie got out of the wheelchair to comfort crazy Edge," Rochelle said. "How said is that?"
Later, Smackdown was on and Dave was gonna be in an interview with Smackdown's new announcer Mick Foley and Mick was standing in the ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest, he is the Animal, Batista," Mick said,
Dave's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Rochelle following him. Rochelle was wearing a black pinstripe v-cup spaghetti strap tank top, black pinstripe pants, and her hair curled. Dave did his thing with the pyro with Rochelle kneeling in front of him and Rochelle got back up and the two walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Rochelle stood in the middle of the ring as Dave got on the turnbuckles raising his arms in the air and got back down and Mick gave Dave a microphone.
"Thank you for joining me at this time," Mick said. "Batista, I like to point out that you had a tremendous match up with Shawn Michaels at Backlash, a match that started out over a difference of voice and opinion you had with Shawn concerning the retirement of your good friend, the Nature Boy Ric Flair. But it became something more, far more personal and as we will see the end of the match surrounding in controversy. Let's take a look."
Then the Titantron showed the clip of Backlash when Dave went for the Batista Bomb, but Shawn escaped and crashed to the mat with a left knee injury. Dave was showing his concern and Shawn caught him with a surprise superkick and Shawn made the cover for the pin and the win.
"Your feelings, Dave, regarding Backlash?" Mick asked.
"Well, first of all," Dave said, "let me just say I meant everything I said about Shawn. I respect him as one of the greatest of all-time, I just don't like the way he got to the top. But I'm not gonna make excuses, I let my guard down, Shawn beat me, and that's the bottom line."
"Wait, but given the comments made this past Monday night on the Highlight Reel by Chris Jericho on RAW, this match is even further clouded by controversy." Then the Titantron played the Highlight Reel clip from RAW of Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel. "So, Batista, my question to you, do you believe that Shawn Michaels was feigning a knee injury in order to gain an advantage that led to his victory at Backlash?"
"Mick, I'll just say this. It would make me sick to my stomach to even think that Shawn Michaels would fake an injury, so that's all I'm gonna say about it. Shawn, for your sake, I hope you are actually hurt because if you're not, when I see you, you will be."
Then Dave and Rochelle shook Mick's hand and left the ring and then they slapped hands with the fans on the way up the ramp and they went to the back.
"So, you know damn well Shawn Michaels could be faking a knee injury," Rochelle said.
"Yeah, maybe," Dave said. "What do you think? I mean, you got the theory that he and Chris Jericho could be in cahoots for Shawn to beat me at Backlash."
"I'm really confused at this point but maybe Shawn is faking a knee injury. He's capable of anything. Chris Jericho? I'm confused. Trust me."
Then Dave wrapped his arm around Rochelle.
"Come on," Dave said.
Then he and Rochelle walked away.
A little later, there was gonna be a World Heavyweight Championship match with the Undertaker defending his title against the Great Khali.
The Undertaker's entrance theme played and he came out from behind with smoke filling around the ramp and stage. He slowly walked down the ramp and went up the steps and the lights came back on and the Undertaker got into the ring. He took off his coat and hat and then Edge's entrance theme played and he came out with Vickie Guerrero and Theodore Long following him.
"Tonight, there's not going to be a World Heavyweight Championship match," Vickie said as the fans booed. "Wait, let me explain, please? For the past several months, Undertaker, you have injured several superstars and in the ring when you have implied that chokehold. Chokeholds are illegal in the WWE and you have ruptured the larynx of many superstars and I cannot let that continue. Please understand as General Manager of Smackdown, it is my responsibility to look after the well-being of the superstars. What I am about to say has nothing to do with my fiancé. From this moment on, that chokehold is banned. Undertaker, let me make myself clear. If you ever use that chokehold in a match again, you will have hell to pay. And since you have not shown any remorse on your actions and since you have no concern over the people you have injured, I have been under extreme pressure with the regulatory authorities, I regret to inform you that you have been stripped of the World Heavyweight Championship. I'm sorry. I advise you to walk up the ramp and surrender the title to me."
Undertaker looked down at the belt around his waist and then he put the belt over his shoulder.
"Fine, have it your way," Vickie said. "If you don't wanna come give me the title, then I'll just send someone down there to give it to me.
Then the Great Khali's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. He raised his arms in the air and he walked down the ramp and got into the ring.
Then the Undertaker laid down the belt in front of him and he and the Great Khali had a staredown and Khali kept taking steps towards the title belt. Then Khali went to grab the belt and then the Undertaker kicked him in the head and then he applied the gogoplata chokehold on Khali.
As the Undertaker continued, a 7'6" man came out from the curtain grabbing the throats of Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder in the air. Edge and Vickie didn't see what was going on behind him as they focusing on the Undertaker and then the giant threw down Curt & Zack and Edge & Vickie turned around and were spooked to see the giant standing behind him. As the Great Khali tapped out to the Undertaker's chokehold, Edge and Vickie backed away from the giant and "Eddie's Angels" came out from the curtain. They stood next the giant as Edge and Vickie continued to back away and they noticed that the Undertaker was staring at them after breaking the chokehold from the Great Khali.
"Vickie," Rochelle said. "I don't think so. One, that chokehold is not banned from the WWE; two, that chokehold or any other chokehold is illegal in the WWE; three, I don't think anybody is injured because of that chokehold; four, that title isn't gonna get taken away from the Undertaker. Since you wanna make this very hard for yourself, guess what? That's the way it's gonna be."
"Oh, you're probably wondering what's happened to Chavo Guerrero and his stupid bodyguard, Bam Neely?" Delancey said. "This guy took care of them before the Edgeheads got their asses kicked."
"Let us introduce this guy to everybody with a fair warning," Nicole said. "This is our guardian angel and everybody's guardian angel named Ulysses and Vickie, not even La Familia can beat this guy. You better quit while you still have the chance."
"And by the way, Vickie," Rochelle said, "I wouldn't get rid of this guy either. You still can't ban me, my friends, or this guy in any way, and especially strip me of the Women's Championship or else, your slutty ass will be exposed. I can still beat you up whenever I want to."
Then Edge and Vickie looked back at the Undertaker and Ulysses and the two went to the side of the ramp and hurried away. Then Ulysses and the Angels walked away to the back as Smackdown came to an end.
