Chapter 14: The Players and Haters Club
RAW was in Tacoma, Washington and John was going to be in a non-title match with someone he has never faced before.
Nicole was at the arena walking down the hallway with a bag in her hand. When she and John arrived at the arena, Nicole went out and bought a couple of things to show John. When she reached the locker room, she slowly opened the door and walked in quietly. John was messing with his stuff and Nicole decided to sneak up on John.
"Guess who," Nicole said as she covered John's eyes.
"My hot and sexy fiancée," John said.
"Correct."
Nicole uncovered John's eyes and he turned around to face her.
"What you got there?" John said.
"Oh, something that you been waiting for," Nicole said.
She pulled out something from her plastic bag and it was the Maxim Hot 100 magazine.
"Oh, Nicole, you got it," John said taking the magazine.
"Yes, I did," Nicole said as she and John sat down on the bench.
John flipped through the pages until he stopped at Nicole's page. Nicole was number 53 on the list. She was a wearing a gray "Chain Gang" t-shirt made into a mini tube top showing her cleavage and stomach very well, black boy shorts, and a "Chain Gang" camo baseball cap over her straight hair.
"Wow, that's hot," John said.
"Thank you," Nicole said. "I did it especially for you. You know, Stacy Keibler's on the list at number 5."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
John flipped through the pages until he stopped at Stacy's page.
"She looks good," John said, "but not as good as you. Well, you know, Stacy is always looking so hot."
"Thank you again," Nicole said. "I also got something else too."
Nicole pulled out another thing from her plastic bag and it was the June issue of RAW magazine with her and John on the cover with John wearing a "Chain Gang: Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect" t-shirt, blue jeans, and his "Chain Gang" camo baseball cap and Nicole wearing a white short-sleeved top with slits in the middle, black miniskirt, black boots, and her hair curled. John and Nicole had their backs facing each other.
"Oh, yeah," John said taking the magazine. "This was the one I've been waiting for."
John flipped through the pages until he stopped at his and Nicole's page. John was wearing black swim trunks and Nicole was wearing a red bikini. They had their arms wrapped around each other. The photoshoot was in Los Angeles last week at a fancy hotel near the pool. Everybody from Entertainment Tonight, the Insider, and Extra have been talking about the photoshoot for days and the WWE even admitted that this was RAW magazine's hottest one yet. John turned to another page of Nicole's laying in front of the pool in her red bikini.
"Man, did we have fun at that photoshoot or what?" John said.
"Yeah, we did," Nicole said. "Everybody has been talking about and they loved it. I don't blame them."
"Well, you know what? One reason I had fun at the photoshoot was you. I couldn't stop looking at your perfect body. Your gorgeous breasts, your tight stomach, and your sexy long 40 inch legs."
"And what about my lips?"
"Your lips are always beautiful……to kiss."
Then John leaned in and kissed Nicole passionately. The two were making out for a couple minutes until there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Nicole said.
"It's Delancey," Delancey said from outside.
"Come in."
Delancey opened the door and went inside with a bouquet of yellow roses in her hand.
"These roses came for you," Delancey said as she gave Nicole the roses.
"Who would send me roses?" Nicole said as she took out the card, opened it, and read it.
"Nicole, I hoped you watched Smackdown last Friday because not only Eddie Guerrero's spirit got me to still be the World Heavyweight Champion, the Angels' spirit got me to get rid of JBL. Thank you so much. Rey."
"Oh, these flowers are from Rey."
"He sent me some as well," Delancey said.
"I gotta tell you," John said, "out of all those times JBL put Rey up against Mark Henry, the Great Khali, and Kane, he thought he was smart to take the World Title from Rey. But uh-uh, Rey bit him in the ass and got rid of him."
"Thanks to Eddie Guerrero's lying, cheating, and stealing."
"Well, I think that's the last of John 'Bradshaw' Layfield," Nicole said.
"Oh, and guess who called me?"
"Who?"
"Ashley. She told me that she is moving to Smackdown."
"Really?" John said.
"Yep."
"Wow, I don't blame her," Nicole said. "I mean, the last time we saw her was her being tied and gagged thanks to the psycho Mickie but Ashley should know that Beth Phoenix is taking of her now."
"Amen, sister."
Later, RAW was on and it was time for the Divas' tag team match between Torrie Wilson and newcomer Beth Phoenix against Victoria and Candice Michelle.
Torrie's new entrance theme played and she comes out from the curtain with Chloe in her arm and Nicole, Trish, and Beth were following her. Nicole was wearing a leopard top, black miniskirt, black boots, and her hair curled. The three walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Torrie and Beth posed in the ring while Nicole was dancing to Torrie's entrance theme. Then Victoria's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with Candice and Mickie James following her. The three walked down the ramp and Mickie and Victoria got into the ring first. Candice got up on the apron and she and Victoria shared a kiss after Candice took off her robe. Mickie stared at Nicole and was talking trash to her because of Nicole won the Women's Championship with Trish and Beth Phoenix's help. Nicole, Trish, Torrie, Mickie and Candice got out of the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Beth and Victoria kicked things off with a tie up. Victoria hit a right hand and Beth came back with one of her own. Beth then nailed more right hands and then hit a side slam for two. Torrie tagged in and they nailed a double team arm twist and chop on Victoria. Torrie nailed a clothesline in the corner and then pulled up her thong and hit the stinkface. Victoria got pissed and pulled Torrie down by the hair. Victoria followed up with a slam and then tagged in Candice.
Candice hit a vaderbomb from the middle rope and then hit an elbow drop for two. Victoria tagged in and went for the somersault leg drop but Torrie moved and both ladies made a tag. Beth hit a series of knockdowns and then nailed a gutwrench suplex on Candice. Beth then nailed a Michinoku Drive on Candice for the win.
Nicole, Trish, and Torrie got into the ring to celebrate with Beth and Mickie was pissed along with Victoria and Candice. The blondes in the ring made fun of the brunettes outside of the ring and they continued to celebrate in the ring.
Then, it was time for John's non-title match and MNM's entrance theme played. Johnny Nitro and Melina came out from the curtain and walked down the ramp. Melina did her infamous ring entrance and Johnny slid through her legs. The two were posing together until John's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Nicole and Delancey following him. Delancey was wearing a green camouflage bustier, green camouflage miniskirt, black buckled arm warmers, black baseball cap with a white skull and crossbones, and black combat boots. The three walked down the ramp and entered the ring and Nicole poses with John raising her Women's title belt in the air as he gets on one of the turnbuckles raising his title belt in the air. John gets back down, takes his "Chain Gang: Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect" t-shirt and "Chain Gang" camo baseball cap off and throws them to the crowd. Nicole and Delancey both stare at Melina and they left the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Johnny taunted John and then John nailed a right hand to knock him down. John tossed him head first to the corner and then went for a charge, but Johnny moved. Johnny nailed a springboard dropkick and then his break dancing leg drop. Johnny nailed an uppercut and then some kicks to the gut. Johnny unloaded on John in the corner with stomps and then whipped John hard to the corner and hit a running elbow.
Johnny hit some forearms to the lower back but then John came back with a right hand. John unloaded on Johnny and then hit the flying shoulder. John hit a pair of clotheslines and then the spinning spinebuster followed by the Five Knuckle Shuffle. John went for the FU and nailed it before locking in the STFU for the win.
Nicole and Delancey got into the ring to celebrate with John while Melina checked on Johnny. John turned his attention to Rob Van Dam, who was at the announcers' table the whole time during the match doing commentary, and they had a staredown. Rob got on the apron and held up his Money-in-the-Bank briefcase and then Johnny went to jump John but John threw him into Rob knocking him off the apron. Nicole and Delancey turned their attention to Melina and she was outside of the ring a little afraid to pick a fight with Nicole and Delancey. John and the girls left the ring and went to the back.
"Oh, my god," Nicole said. "I can't believe Melina is back on RAW after a year and a half."
"Well, I guess she got fired from Smackdown and decided to come back to RAW to start some more trouble with her little boytoy Johnny Nitro."
"Too bad Joey Mercury isn't around with them this time."
"Oh, that's too bad," John said as everyone laughed.
"Well, I know that Melina wants to challenge me for the Women's Championship but she's not gonna get it."
"Hey, we are gonna have so much fun with her," Delancey said.
"I hope it's not the fun I'm thinking about," John said.
"Please!" Nicole and Delancey said.
"Not in a million years," Nicole said.
"Just checking," John said.
