Chapter 7: Back to and In the Game
Smackdown was in Columbus, Georgia and Bobby was facing Sir William Regal.
Last night on RAW, Delancey was facing Nicole in a Babe of the Year Schoolgirl Paddle on a Pole match and Delancey lost. After that, she had to get spanked.
Bobby and Delancey made the two-hour trip from Atlanta, Georgia to Columbus, Georgia and after they checked in at the hotel, they went to the arena.
Delancey was in the locker room just laying on the bench with her Siamese cat, Shadow, on her stomach and then Rochelle walked inside the Women's Locker Room.
"Hey, Rochelle," Delancey said as she sat up carrying Shadow.
"Hey, Delancey," Rochelle said as she sat her stuff down. "I saw your Schoolgirl match last night and I gotta tell you, I was impressed."
"You were?"
"Yeah, especially Nicole. I know that she's been wanting to spank John for a long time."
"Hey, that girl is something else."
"So, is there anything going on between Brittany and Jeff Hardy on account of what I saw last night?"
Rochelle was referring to the Intercontinental Championship match between Jeff Hardy and Johnny Nitro. Nitro was disqualified thanks to Melina hitting the referee. Then Brittany Swanson came out and attacked Melina. After the match, Jeff Hardy thanked Brittany and kissed her.
"Well, Nicole told me that Jeff Hardy kissed Brittany," Delancey said.
"He kissed her?" Rochelle said.
"Yep."
"Oh, my god."
"Yeah."
"And what is with Randy? Has he lost his mind again?"
"Look, I left right after that happened, but guess what?"
"What?"
"Nicole went to his locker room and put itching powder in his suitcase while he was showering."
"The itching powder I gave her?"
"Yep." Then the girls laughed. "You see, Nicole is following my footsteps. You break up with someone, you get even until he snaps again and calms down."
"Well, you've been doing that to Randy and Edge."
"Yeah. Speaking of Edge, let's just hope that what happened to Edge is a preview of him like that after he loses the WWE Title."
"Don't worry, John will win. RAW needs him and they sure as hell don't need Edge."
"Yeah."
Then Smackdown was on and the first match was Rey Mysterio versus Finlay.
Earlier, Delancey and Rochelle asked Rey if they can accompany him to ringside for support and Rey said yes. After all, Delancey and Rochelle were the only people to trust.
Rey's entrance theme played and he jumped out from the ramp. Rey came down and joined Delancey and Rochelle who came out from the curtain. Delancey was wearing a backless black halter bikini top with black sheer and metallic thread, denim miniskirt, and black boots. Rochelle was wearing a brown Asian print mini dress with black waistband. The three walked down the aisle and got into the ring. Rey went on one of the turnbuckles and raised his arms in the air. He, Delancey, and Rochelle were unaware that the Little Bastard was sticking his head out from under the ring and got back down. Then Finlay's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. He walked down the aisle and went into the ring. He was talking trash to Delancey and Rochelle and the girls left the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Finlay slapped Rey across the face early but Rey fired back with a slap of his own. They followed this up with a staredown and then Rey let loose with leg kicks before Rey went for the ten punch in the corner. However, a few punches in, Finlay pulled him out of the corner and delivered the Atomic Drop! Finlay delivered a European uppercut and followed up with a go behind then a takedown into a front facelock. Finlay then hit a suplex and rolled into the cover but Rey kicked out at one and a half.
Finlay talked trash to Rey then hit a headlock takedown. Rey countered into a headscissors and Finlay rolled around and managed to escape, moving into a headlock. He hit a nice uppercut and talked more trash to Rey asking him if something's wrong. Finlay put Rey up on his shoulders, then hung him up on the top rope. Rey blocked a punch and fired back with a few shots, but Finlay regained control with a knee to the midsection before whipping him into the turnbuckle hard. Finlay covered but Rey got his foot on the bottom rope. Finlay hit a nice tilt-a-whirl slam and covered but Rey kicked out at two before bailing to the outside to try to get refocused with Delancey and Rochelle helping him.
Rey got back in the ring and Finlay kicked Rey in the gut and followed with a shoulder thrust. Finlay put on a nerve hold but Rey kicked Finlay in the head to escape. Finlay hit a tilt-a-whirl headscissors and followed it with a low front dropkick to the face. Rey covered but Finlay kicked out at two. Rey went to follow up with a moonsault, but Finlay hit him in the leg, dropping him into the Tree of Woe! Finlay hit a running shoulder to Rey in the corner and Finlay hit a scoop slam. Rey tried going up and grabbing Finlay's head for a headscissors in the corner, but Finlay countered into a backbreaker! Finlay covered, but Rey again got his foot on the rope.
Rey went to the outside to recover and Finlay swung on the ropes to kick Rey on the outside. Finlay held up his arms in victory in the ring and Rey finally got back in the ring. Finlay drove him into the corner twice and Rey collapsed. Finlay hit his seated senton drop to the back twice and Finlay went for the Boston crab and locked it in. Rey tried escaping by kicking Finlay in the head, but Finlay turned and adjusted the submission into something different. Finlay continued to hold onto one leg, but Rey managed to reach the bottom rope. Finlay went after Rey in the corner but Rey moved and Finlay went shoulder first into the turnbuckle. Rey hit some leg kicks and Finlay tried to hit a sunset flip, but Rey rolled through and kicked Finlay in the side of the head! He hooked the leg, but Finlay kicked out at two.
Rey went out to the apron and hit the springboard seated senton! He hooked the leg but Finlay kicked out. Finlay went for a slam, but Rey slid out and hit the drop toehold to set up the 619. Finlay stood up, but Rey ducked a clothesline. He went for a springboard move to follow up, but he slipped by missing the ropes when he jumped toward them and bounced off. Finlay went to follow up and hit the Celtic Cross Finisher Finlay then covered Rey and picked up the win.
After the bell, Delancey and Rochelle went into the ring to check on Rey and the referee raised Finlay's arm in the air. Finlay left the ring and John "Bradshaw" Layfield got up with a microphone to go ask Rey what was wrong, saying it was part of his journalistic responsibility. JBL walked up to Rey and said,
"Rey, I have an obligation to all these great Smackdown fans that you just disappointed and embarrassed yourself once again. I gotta ask you, do you think the reason right now that your wrestling has become such a disgrace is because the woman who you thought loved you slapped the taste of your mouth, that being Vickie Guerrero?" Rey pushed the microphone aside and was about to leave. "Rey, you got to know. The Smackdown fans deserved that. Could it be the reason you're not yourself right now is because the entire Guerrero family deemed you a piece of trash?"
JBL held the microphone out for the answer, but Rey just looked sad and upset and turned away.
"You know what, JBL?" Rochelle said grabbing the microphone. "You got a lot of nerve asking Rey that question. I should slap you right now...but I won't."
Delancey and Rochelle left the ring with Rey and Rey practically collapsed down to the floor as he lowered himself to leave. Rey paused as he walked up the aisle and looked ready to cry before continuing to walk with Delancey and Rochelle. Then the three went to the back.
"Rey, are you gonna be okay?" Delancey said.
"Yeah, Delancey, I'll be fine," Rey said. "I need some time alone."
Then Rey walked away.
"Ugh! Chavo and Vickie are so full of themselves and I can't take it anymore," Rochelle said.
"You know what?" Delancey said. "Since Vickie thinks she's so tough, why don't you challenge her to an arm wrestling match?"
"Really?"
"Yeah, it'll scare some sense into her."
"Yeah, that'll work. That's if Sharmell doesn't interfere in Dave's match tonight."
"Hey, you need backup? You know, Bobby and I got your backs."
"Hey, Dave got King Booker through a table last week and no one helped the King then. We got this."
"Okay."
Later, it was time for Bobby's match against Sir William Regal.
William was at the ring and said that he was originally supposed to face Vito, who was at the announcers' table. Vito was pulling up his dress and showed off his leg to William. William said that after his disgusting display last week during a match, where he stuck his head under his "bloody dress" and exposed him to his "ghastly undercarriage," he went to Teddy Long and threatened him with a sexual harassment lawsuit if he put William in the ring with Vito. Vito was dancing on the outside and blew kisses to William. William said that he did agree to face some proper competition and suggested that Vito and all of these people sit back and watch how a real man conducts himself.
Bobby's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. He did his thing with the pyro and Delancey came out from the curtain. The two walked down the aisle and Bobby and Delancey got into the ring. Bobby went up on the turnbuckles and posed along with Delancey. Bobby got back down and Delancey left the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Bobby hit a big forearm knockdown early followed by a scoop slam. Bobby whipped William into the turnbuckle hard and Bobby suplexed William from the apron into the ring. William bailed to the outside where Vito pulled up the back of his dress and shook his butt in William's face. William freaked out and Delancey laughed at ringside as Bobby took advantage sending William back into the ring. William tried begging off and rolled to the outside pulling Bobby out, but Bobby knocked William down with a right hand.
Bobby was climbing the steps to get back in, but William pulled his leg out from under him, sending him face first into the steel steps. The referee was counting Bobby being out of the ring, but he got back in after the count of six with some help from Delancey. William delivered some kicks as Bobby tried to get back in to send him back to the floor. William hit a back elbow and kicked Bobby, then covered, but Bobby kicked out. William put on a submission hold, trapping an arm while holding onto Bobby's head. William hit a T-bone suplex and covered, but Bobby kicked out at two. William delivered a kick to the ribs in the corner, but Bobby got a boot up in William's face.
Bobby hit a belly to belly throw and Bobby hit a running clothesline, followed by a big clubbing blow to the back. Bobby signaled for the finish and he went for his running powerslam finisher, but William slid out and attacked Bobby from behind. However, Bobby turned around and speared William! He hooked the leg and picked up the victory.
Delancey got into the ring and raised Bobby's arm in the air along with the referee. Vito applauded for Bobby and he got up on the apron and shook hands with Bobby and gave him a brief hug. Then Vito kissed Delancey's hand and Delancey gave Vito a thumbs up. Bobby and Delancey left the ring and they were walking up the aisle slapping the hands of the fans. Before they went to the back, Bobby and Delancey turned around and they raised each other's arms in the air. Then they went to the back.
"Alright, great job, babe," Delancey said. "You're back in the game."
"Yeah, whoo!" Bobby said. "I feel good."
"And you should be. Hey, I just thought of something. What if the Undertaker scares Mr. Kennedy throughout the next four weeks? That could be the advantage you need to become the United States Champion."
"You know that? That could work to my advantage."
"Exactly. Did you see the look on his face when Teddy Long made that announcement?"
"Yeah and the nerve of Mr. Kennedy making a challenge to John Cena."
"Look, John will beat Edge at Unforgiven. I know. He's not gonna back down. I got major confidence in him and he's got my full support."
"That's good."
Then Bobby and Delancey walked away.
A little later, it was time for Chavo Guerrero's match against Tatanka and Smackdown announcer Tony Chimel was in the ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you, Chavo Guerrero's new business manager, Vickie Guerrero," Tony announced
Vickie came out from curtain and walked down the aisle to the ring. She grabbed a microphone and began to introduce Chavo, but stopped due to the fans chanting "Eddie!" mixed with booing.
"It is with great honor to introduce to you the man who is dedicating his match tonight to the Guerrero legacy, would you please welcome Chavo Guerrero," Vickie said.
Then Chavo's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. He walked down the aisle and got into the ring. He stood next to Vickie and waited for Tatanka to come out. Then Tatanka's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain and ran down the aisle and into the ring. He did his usual war dance while Chavo and Vickie were outside the ring. Then Chavo got into the ring and Rochelle's entrance theme played, and she came out from the curtain with Delancey following her. The two girls stood several feet away from the ring and the referee called for the bell.
Chavo hit a single leg takedown but Tatanka came back with an armdrag and began yanking on Chavo's left arm. Tatanka slammed the arm into the turnbuckle and then put it in a hammerlock. Chavo tried escaping with elbows but Tatanka hit a clubbing blow to the back. Chavo hit a dropkick to take Tatanka down and Chavo grabbed Tatanka's legs and flipped over while holding it. Chavo then put a submission on that left leg and bridged into a cover, but Tatanka kicked out.
Chavo kept kicking that left leg, then put on another submission, driving his knee into the leg while pulling back on it. Tatanka used knees from his right leg to Chavo's back to escape. Tatanka lifted up Chavo high in the air and let him fall. He fired up and delivered a clothesline and a big back elbow. He hit a back body drop and started doing his war dance. He started chopping away at Chavo, knocking him down with the second chop, then hit a tomahawk chop to the head. Tatanka went up to the top rope and hit a tomahawk off the top. He hooked the leg but Chavo kicked out and Vickie applauded at ringside.
Chavo threw a leg kick and followed with uppercuts and Tatanka lifted up Chavo and hit the End of Trail. He hooked the leg but Chavo grabbed the bottom rope. Tatanka yelled at the referee that it should have been three and Chavo used the distraction to hit a blockbuster. Chavo went up top on the turnbuckle, pointed up, then hit the Frog Splash! He then hooked the leg for the win!
Vickie applauded Chavo's win and got in the ring. She held up his arm in victory and Vickie massaged Chavo's left arm.
"Hey, Chavo," Rochelle said onto the microphone, "congratulations on your first match back, I got a challenge to make...to Vickie Guerrero. I bet you're very proud that you made Rey lose his conscience, but I'm not proud. If you were a real woman and a real business manager, you would face me like a real woman. So next week on Smackdown, it's gonna be you versus me in an arm wrestling match."
Vickie had a worried look on her face and Chavo was saying, "Ain't gonna happen." Rochelle blew the kiss of death and she and Delancey went to the back.
After Smackdown, Bobby and Delancey were eating ice cream at Baskin Robbins after they had dinner.
"So are you excited about your photoshoot tomorrow?" Bobby asked.
"Yes, I am," Delancey said. "You know, I'm pleases that Seventeen magazine wanted us for it and the best thing about being in Eddie's Angels is not only the bond me, Nicole, and Rochelle share, is because of the fans calling us an inspiration because after Summerslam, we've been getting thousands of letters from fans telling us that we've helped them get over the loss of a loved one and get stronger. Those letters have really touched me."
"They absolutely love you. They actually see you girls as absolute angels from heaven."
"Yeah, that's why I love being in the WWE because we have such an amazing fanbase. And you're not gonna believe this, with Eddie's Angels popularity in the WWE, they want us to get on some shows like, 'The View,' 'Best Damn Sports Show Period,' and 'Live with Regis and Kelly.'"
"No kidding?"
"No kidding."
"Wow, Delancey, that's awesome."
"Yeah."
Then Delancey started looking gloomy.
"What's wrong?" Bobby asked.
"It's Rey," Delancey said. "He hasn't been himself lately and I don't blame him. I just...I just can't believe Chavo and Vickie would torment him like this."
"It is rough. What's Rey gonna do now?"
"I hope that he can put himself together, that's all."
"Yeah. You wanna get out of here?"
"Yeah."
"Let's go."
Then Bobby and Delancey left Baskin Robbins and went back to the hotel.
