Chapter 12: The Angels Lay Low

Smackdown was in Des Moines, Iowa and "Eddie's Angels" were facing Victoria, Natalya, and Layla in a six-Diva tag team match.

The Angels were in the catering room chatting up a good conversation when Theodore Long walked in.

"Hey, ladies," Theodore said.

"Hey, Teddy," the Angels said.

"So how did it go with Vince McMahon?" Delancey said.

"Well, I think it's going well," Theodore said. "I think something will come up in the next couple of weeks."

"Right on," Rochelle said.

"Hey, I gotta say, those pictures of yours in Maxim magazine are banging! You girls deserve to be in the top ten and Delancey, congratulations on being number on."

"Thanks," Delancey said.

"And another thing, I'm gonna be a guest on MVP's VIP Lounger later tonight and I was wondering if you girls would like to escort me again."

"Yeah, we would love to," Nicole said.

"Great, well, I'll catch you girls tonight."

"Bye, Teddy."

Then Theodore walked out of the catering room.

"I just know things are gonna get better for Teddy," Delancey said.

"Yeah, they will," Rochelle said.

Then ECW was on and Delancey was walking in the hallway looking for Kofi Kingston.

Since Kofi made his debut on ECW, he's been undefeated until Shelton Benjamin was the next superstar in line and he made a vow for a few weeks to end the Jamaican Superstar undefeated streak. Shelton did just that tonight when he faced Kofi Kingston.

"Hey, Kofi," Delancey said as she found Kofi.

"Delancey, hey," Kofi said.

"Hey. Listen, I am so sorry for what happened earlier in your match. I mean, my ex is so full of it; he's such a jerk."

"Listen, you have nothing to apologize about, absolutely nothing."

"I know, I just don't want you to be embarrassed like that again. That's all."

"I understand……"

"Hey," Shelton Benjamin said as he came forward. "Well, you decide to go crying to my ex-fiancée about me ending your undefeated streak? That's so sad and pathetic."

"You know what, Shelton?" Delancey said as she turned around to face Shelton. "Here's what's sad and pathetic: your hair. What the hell is with your hair? You look like the golden goose that laid a golden egg. Yeah, I said it, the golden goose that laid a golden egg! And another thing and read my lips when I say this: I'm just getting started."

Then Delancey walked away with Kofi following smiling at Shelton.

Later, Smackdown was on and "Eddie's Angels" were in their locker room strategizing their next plan as Brittany walked in with Maryse following her.

"From Vickie Guerrero," Maryse said as she handed Rochelle of piece of paper.

Then Rochelle opened the piece of paper and she, Nicole, and Rochelle read it with looks on their faces.

"180 bucks?" Rochelle said. "For trashing her office? Well, you can tell Vickie to take this bill and shove it up her ass."

"We aren't paying this unless she quits her position as General Manager," Delancey said, "and that's that."

"Wait a minute," Nicole said, "we'll shred this instead since Vickie won't do it and you better prepare for your mixed tag team match."

"So get lost," Brittany said.

Then Maryse walked out of the Angels' locker room and the Angels and Brittany smiled.

A little later, it was time for MVP's VIP Lounge.

MVP's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. He walked down the ramp and the bouncer let him through the velvet rope and got into the ring.

"Once again, MVP is in the ring so that can only mean one thing," MVP said, "big things popping, little things stopping, so sit back and relax and enjoy the view because as you know, the VIP lounge is for people better than you. And speaking of people than I am better than, my guest tonight is the former Smackdown General Manager Theodore Long. Now, Theodore Long didn't have the opportunity to tell his side of the story, so I just felt that it would be proper to give him an opportunity to tell himself. So ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for former Smackdown General Manager, Theodore Long."

Then Theodore Long's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain arm-in-arm with "Eddie's Angels."

Nicole was wearing a tan v-neck midriff tank top with a fur at the bust, dark denim jacket, dark denim jeans, and her hair in a ponytail. Delancey was wearing the same outfit instead of the dark denim jacket, and her hair curled. Rochelle was wearing a tan one strap midriff tank top with fur at the edge, tan miniskirt, black boots, and her hair in a sided curly ponytail. The four walked down the ramp and the bouncer let them through the velvet rope and "Eddie's Angels" got into the ring first as Theodore followed.

"Welcome to my VIP lounge," MVP said.

"Well, thanks for having me, player," Theodore said.

"Oh, well, I just felt that…..I felt that……well, I'm going call an audible here. Originally, I was gonna give you an opportunity to tell your side of the story, but now I'm not gonna let you tell your side of the story because, I mean, I know you got a lot to say, but I got a lot I wanna say to you. Don't think for one second that I've forgotten all that you put me through when I started here. No, no, no, you put me through. Don't think cheap. You're not my boss anymore, Teddy; as a matter of fact, you're nobody's boss anymore so I can finally tell you all the things that I wanted to tell you before without repercussion. I wanted to talk about how you have been jealous of me and that's why..."

"Me, jealous of you?"

"Yeah, you jealous of me. That's right. You're jealous of my money, jealous of my good looks, jealous of my clothes, that's why you wear knockoff suits like mine. Completely jealous, completely because of my long, beautiful hair. Jealous, Teddy, and in spite of you trying to hold me down all this time, I've still overcome all of this to be the most talented individual...

"Hey, hey, hey, I ain't got to stand out here and listen to this, alright? I'm outta here, man."

Then MVP pulled Teddy back by his necktie.

"No, no, no, you're gonna listen to what I got to say," MVP said. "You can't leave here until I dismiss you. You understand me?"

Then Dave's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. He walked down the ramp as Rochelle was fixing Theodore's necktie and the bouncer let Dave through the velvet rope with a little hesitation and he got into the ring and he took off his sunglasses.

"Hey, man, don't be coming out here trying to play hero and all that, protector of the weak..." MVP said.

"Hold on, hold on, it's not what you think," Dave said. "I didn't get the chance to say good-bye to Teddy. I wanted to come out here, take this opportunity to say good-bye, wish him well. I always thought he was a fair and good General Manager. It paid you a lot of money, which I forgive him for; so I wanna say good luck to you, whatever you decide to do." Then Dave shook hands with Teddy. "Pleasure working with you. And I also wanted to say that if you put your hands on him again, I'm gonna shove my fist right down your throat!"

Then Theodore, Nicole, and Delancey left the ring.

"Wait a minute, hold on, hold on," MVP said. "You don't come up into my VIP Lounge talking about what you're gonna to do to me. You need to be in the locker room sweating that stretcher match coming up and worrying about your chin getting pushed through the back of your head. That's what you need to be worrying about. As a matter of fact, I don't appreciate you coming up in my VIP Lounge disrespecting me."

"I was not being disrespectful," Dave said.

"Oh, don't you call this disrespect?"

"No, disrespectful would be….." Then Dave kicked a prop off the coffee table. "That would be a little disrespectful."

Then Dave kicked another prop off the coffee table.

"That might be more disrespectful," Dave said.

Then Dave kicked the table over and Rochelle began to laugh.

"That would definitely be disrespectful," Dave said.

Then Dave flipped the couch over.

"That's disrespectful," Dave said.

Then MVP ducked out of the ring as Batista flipped the other couch over and Rochelle continued to crack up.

"That is disrespectful," Dave said.

Then Dave punched a couple of holes in the screen.

"That's disrespectful," Dave said. "Hey, you wanna see disrespectful?"

Then Dave grabbed another screen and with a funny karate yell, he punched a big hole through the screen and Rochelle immediately cracked up.

"That's definitely disrespectful," Dave said.

Then MVP went over the velvet rope and he stormed up the ramp as Rochelle continued laughing and Dave went on the turnbuckles and flexed his muscles. Dave then got back down and he & Rochelle left the ring and they slapped hands with the fans on the way up the ramp and they went to the back.

"Oh, my God, Dave," Rochelle said, "you are so funny. Did you see MVP run out of the ring when you trashed his VIP Lounge?"

"That was funny, wasn't it?" Dave said.

"Yeah. Oh, my God, you got a cut on your arm. It must've happened when you punched that hole in that screen."

"It's not that bad. I'll be all right."

"Come on, silly."

Then Rochelle took Dave by the hand and they walked away.

After that moment earlier, MVP went barging to Vickie Guerrero and wanted her to do something instead of a match with Dave but that's what he got leading to a little later on.

MVP's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. He did his usual pose and he walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Then he got on the turnbuckles and stared at the crowd and Dave's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Rochelle following him. 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 as MVP got out of the ring. Rochelle stood in the middle of the ring as Dave got on the turnbuckles raising the arms in the air and got back down. MVP got back into the ring as Rochelle left and the referee called for the bell.

Dave and MVP circled around the ring and they locked up and MVP went behind Dave and shoved Dave to the ropes and Dave hung onto the ropes as MVP bounced off. Dave went after MVP but MVP backed off and Dave & MVP circled around the ring and they locked up again and Dave went behind MVP into a headlock and MVP went to the ropes for a clean break. Dave and MVP locked up once again and MVP went behind Dave twisting his arm and Dave hit a back elbow sending MVP to the mat and then Dave immediately got another headlock and MVP tried to escape. Then MVP escaped with a knee to the back of Dave's leg and he bounced off the ropes only to get plummeled by Dave and MVP rolled to the outside of the ring.

Then MVP got back into the ring and nailed some punches to no avail and Dave missed a clothesline before MVP got him in a headlock of his own and then Dave shoved MVP to the ropes and missed the clothesline and MVP bounced off the ropes as Dave leaped over him and MVP was caught in the face with a high boot. MVP rolled to the outside of the ring and Dave followed with a double axe handle to the back and Dave threw MVP back into the ring and got a suplex for a two count. Then Dave whipped MVP to the corner and Dave splashed into a clothesline and Dave whipped MVP to another corner and charged but MVP came back with a drop toe hold hitting Dave's face into the bottom turnbuckle.

Then MVP charged at Dave with a big boot sending Dave out of the ring and then MVP threw Dave back into the ring for a cover but Dave's foot was on the bottom rope. Then MVP tried to drag Dave to the middle of the ring but Dave held onto the bottom rope and MVP stomped on Dave's leg and covered for a two count. Then MVP got Dave in a front facelock hold but Dave lifted up MVP and rammed his back to the corner. Then Dave got a couple of shoulderblocks as his head was jarred from MVP's kick and then MVP kicked Dave's leg and kicked him in the face and MVP climbed on the turnbuckle and Dave lifted him up only for MVP to drop out of the ring dragging Dave's arm into the top rope and MVP went back into the ring and covered for a two count.

Then MVP clubbed on Dave and stretched his arm before Dave held on the bottom rope and MVP stomped on Dave and then MVP got out of the ring and grabbed Dave's arm to drag it onto the ringpost. Then MVP stretched Dave's arm again on the ringpost and got back into the ring and MVP went after him before Dave kicked him in the midsection and got some punches and then MVP got a drop toe hold face first onto the mat and he took a hard toss shoulder-first into the ringpost. Then MVP covered for a two count and worked on the arm of Dave hitting it and getting an elbow drop and a knee drop before covering for another two count and then MVP stretched Dave's arm again.

Then Dave escaped the hold and got an armdrag on MVP and MVP got a running knee to the midsection and a neckbreaker for a nearfall and MVP set up for the kick but Batista nailed a spear to begin his comeback. Dave whipped MVP to the ropes and got a back bodydrop and MVP rolled to the outside and Dave followed as he ran MVP to the ringpost. Then Dave threw MVP back into the ring and he then rammed his shoulder onto the ringpost and he did it again at another ringpost and then MVP got a back elbow to the face and went to kick Dave but Dave grabbed his leg and delivered a one-arm spinebuster before delivering the Batista Bomb for the pin and the win.

Rochelle got into the ring and she checked on Dave as she helped him up and his arms were raised by her and the referee. Dave went to his knees in the corner as his arm felt gingerly and Rochelle helped him out of the ring as Smackdown went to a commercial break.

A little later, "Eddie's Angels" were going to be in an interview with Eve Torres.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests at this time, 'Eddie's Angels,'" Eve said as the Angels came forward.

Nicole was wearing an aqua green spaghetti strap halter midriff top with the words "Never back down..." on the front and "Never say quit!!" on the back, denim jeans, and the Chain Gang Wristbands. Delancey was wearing a metallic aqua green bustier and metallic aqua green pant. Rochelle was wearing a metallic aqua green midriff halter top, black bustier, aqua green metallic chaps, black boyshorts, and her hair was let down.

"Ladies, you'll be facing Victoria, Natalya, and Layla in a six-Diva tag team match in a few minutes, but earlier tonight, we have heard that from General Manager Vickie Guerrero that if the Undertaker loses his World Heavyweight Championship TLC match at One Night Stand, he'll be banished from the WWE. What are your thoughts?"

"Our thoughts are simple," Delancey said. "Last week really got to you and you pull another stunt? Well, you're gonna regret it if the Undertaker is gone from the WWE."

Then the Angels walked away.

Then it was time for the six-Diva tag team match.

Victoria's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with Natalya and Layla following her.

"The following six-Diva tag team match is scheduled for one fall," Justin Roberts announced. "Making their way first, the team of Natalya, Layla, and Victoria."

The three Divas walked down the ramp and they got into the ring and they were pumping up as "Eddie's Angels" entrance theme played and they came out from the curtain.

"And their opponents, Nicole Mitchell, Delancey Scott, and the WWE Women's Champion Rochelle Kennedy, 'Eddie's Angels,'" Justin announced.

The Angels walked down the ramp slapping hands of the fans and Delancey got on the apron and flipped into the ring as Nicole did Melina's ring entrance and Rochelle went around the ring, got up on the apron and posed, and got into the ring. The Angels then got on the turnbuckles and raised their arms in the air and they got back down as Nicole, Delancey, Victoria, and Layla left the ring as the referee called for the bell.

Rochelle and Layla circled around the ring and they locked up before Rochelle went behind Layla with a waistlock and Layla countered with a waistlock of her own. Then Layla hit a forearm to the back of the head and hit some knees to the midsection before she hit Rochelle's head onto the turnbuckle. Then Layla was punching Rochelle in the corner and she whipped Rochelle to the ropes but Rochelle floated and nailed an armdrag before Layla got a thumb to the eye and she tagged in Natalya. Natalya charged at Rochelle before Rochelle got a drop toe hold and Rochelle twisted Natalya's arm as she made the tag to Nicole and Nicole climbed on the top turnbuckle and got a double axe handle to Natalya. Nicole grabbed Natalya and nailed a one-arm snapmare and then she kicked Natalya in the back before she bounced off the ropes to nail a baseball slide for a two count.

Nicole charged into a flying headscissors and then she bounced off the ropes for Delancey to make a blind tag and Natalya missed a clothesline as Nicole got a crossbody and Victoria grabbed her as Delancey nailed a dropkick making Nicole fall on Natalya. Then Delancey and Nicole got a double elbow drop and Delancey covered for a two count and Delancey nailed a forearm and she went to whip Natalya but Natalya reversed and Victoria grabbed Delancey by the hair and dropped her on the mat. Natalya dragged Delancey to the corner by the hair and Victoria kicked Delancey as Layla and Natalya held onto her as the referee was distracted with Rochelle. Natalya choked Delancey with her foot and she made the tag to Layla and Layla choked Delancey with her foot and Layla got a powerslam before she grabbed Delancey with clubs to the head.

Then Layla grabbed Delancey by the hair and made the tag to Victoria as Layla clubbed Delancey in the back and Victoria grabbed Delancey by the hair before Delancey came back with forearms to the midsection and the face and she bounced off the ropes before Victoria tossed her over to the mat for a two count. Then Victoria whipped Delancey to the corner and splashed her and then went for the Widow's Peak but Delancey escaped and got a scissors kick to the chest and both women were down. Then Delancey went for the tag but Victoria grabbed her leg and Delancey got an enziguri before she made the tag to Rochelle and Rochelle got a forearm to Victoria and Natalya got into the ring and Rochelle clotheslined her before she knocked Layla off the apron. Then Rochelle got a flying forearm and kicked Victoria in the midsection and grabbed her arm and bounced off the rope before she got Natalya in a headscissors nailing both her and Victoria down with an armdrag-headscissors combination.

Then Layla got into the ring and missed a clothesline and Rochelle kicked her in the midsection before she nailed a cross-arm neckbreaker slam for the cover but Natalya broke the count. Then Nicole attacked Natalya from behind and Natalya rolled out of the ring and Nicole was on the apron before she drove off into a double axe handle and the Delancey climbed on the top turnbuckle and dived on Nicole, Natalya, and Layla on the floor with a crossbody block. Back in the ring, Rochelle was hitting Victoria with forearms and went for another one before Victoria got a spinebuster for a two count and then she clubbed Rochelle in the back and went for the Widow's Peak but Rochelle countered into the Celtic Cross for the pin and the win.

"Here are your winners, Nicole Mitchell, Delancey Scott, and the WWE Women's Champion Rochelle Kennedy, 'Eddie's Angels,'" Justin announced.

Then Nicole and Delancey got into the ring and the Angels hugged each other as Victoria rolled out of the ring and the Angels got on the turnbuckles and raised their arms in the air. Then they got back down as they saw Victoria, Natalya, and Layla and "Eddie's Angels" made fun of them as Smackdown went to a commercial break.

A few minutes later, "Eddie's Angels" were walking with Brittany and Ulysses and they saw La Familia.

Earlier, Chavo Guerrero wanted to work out the misunderstanding last week and Vickie said there were no hard feelings, but she did book him against the Undertaker which was next. Chavo protested and Edge said to Vickie maybe Chavo was scared and Chavo insisted the whole Familia should be there for him.

"Hey, Chavo," Nicole said, "good luck on your match with the Undertaker tonight."

"And by the way," Rochelle said, "we're not falling for your self-pity act either when you and Bam Neely bailed out of the handicap match last week. You almost had us."

Then the Angels, Brittany, and Ulysses walked away as La Familia stared at them.
