Chapter 37: Right Back Where We Started From
The next day, John and Nicole were sleeping in their hotel room. At about 6:30am, Nicole woke up and she got out of the bed. She was fully naked because after a glass of wine, Nicole and John made love. Nicole went into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and went into the shower stall.
As she was showering, Nicole leaned on the wall thinking of last night for a few minutes.
After a few more minutes, Nicole stepped out of the shower and dried off. Nicole wrapped the towel around her body and went to leave the bathroom until John opened the door and came in.
"Oh, good morning," Nicole said.
"Morning," John said as he kissed Nicole on the lips. "You all right?"
"Yeah."
"It's okay if you're not."
"No, I'm okay."
"Okay."
Then Nicole got out of the bathroom and John went inside the bathroom and closed the door. Nicole went over to her suitcase and took out some clothes. Nicole then took off her towel and changed into them. Then as Nicole was getting her stuff together, her cell phone rang. Nicole unplugged her phone and saw that Rochelle was calling. Then Nicole answered the call.
"Hello?" Nicole said.
"Hey, Nicole," Rochelle said. "How are you?"
"I'm all right. I'm still upset last night, but John and I had a glass of wine to calm our nerves and then...you know."
"Yeah, I know. So, what do you, John, and Tina think of Brittany?"
"She is awesome. I think she will be a great addition to our team after the way she handled Alicia."
"Yeah."
"I mean, with her experience in karate, kickboxing, and gymnastics, she'll definitely bring something to RAW. And also a part-time model during college, that's impressive."
"Yeah, I guess you could say Brittany is totally gifted."
"Yeah. So, are you and Delancey coming to Bridgeport, Connecticut because you never know? Randy could ask for another rematch."
"Yeah, I guess. We could have some messing with him since he got embarrassed by Hulk Hogan last night."
"Yeah. Well, I guess we'll see you at the hotel because we're meeting Brittany there as well."
"Okay, see you later."
"Bye."
Then Nicole ended the call.
Several minutes later, John, Nicole, and Tina arrived at the Hyatt Regency where Brittany was staying at. The gang took the elevator three floors up to where Brittany's hotel room was. When John, Nicole, and Tina both reached the floor, they left the elevator and went to the door of Brittany's hotel room. John knocked on the door and a minute later, Brittany opened it.
"Hey," John, Nicole, and Tina said.
"Hi," Brittany said.
"How are you?" John said.
"I'm good."
"So, are you ready?" Nicole said.
"Yeah, I am."
"Here, let us help you," John said.
"Thank you."
"You guys go ahead," Nicole said. "I'm gonna see Delancey and Rochelle for a minute."
"Okay," Tina said.
Nicole walked down the hallway and took the elevator one floor up to where Delancey and Rochelle's hotel room was. When Nicole reached the floor, she left the elevator and went to the door of Dave and Rochelle's hotel room. Nicole knocked on the door and a minute later, Dave opened it.
"Hey, Nicole," Dave said as he hugged Nicole.
"Hey, Dave," Nicole said as she pulled away. "I'm sorry about last night. I know how much you wanna be the World Heavyweight Champion."
"Hey, no biggie. I will get the title back. I could say the same thing about John."
"Yeah. Edge may have won the battle, but the war is far from over. I know John. He's not gonna quit."
"Yeah."
"Is Rochelle here?"
"Yeah."
Then Nicole stepped inside to see Rochelle finishing packing her stuff.
"Hey, Nicole," Rochelle said.
"Hey, Rochelle," Nicole said. "John and Tina are helping Brittany with her stuff, so she's riding with us."
"That's fine."
"I guess we're going to Bridgeport today, huh?" Dave said.
"Yeah," Nicole said. "I'm sure Rochelle told you everything of what could happen tonight on RAW."
"Yeah and I wonder what you girls are gonna pull next."
"Hey, we got plenty in store for Mr. Orton," Rochelle said. "He just don't know it yet."
Then there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it," Dave said.
Dave walked over to the door and opened it to reveal Delancey and Bobby Lashley.
"Hey, guys," Dave said.
"Hey," Delancey and Bobby said.
"Come in."
Delancey and Bobby walked inside.
"Hey, you guys," Nicole said.
"Hey," Bobby said.
"What's going on?" Delancey said.
"Nothing," Nicole said. "I was telling Dave and Rochelle that Brittany is gonna ride with me, John, and Tina."
"Cool."
"Speaking of them, I should get going. I'll see you guys later."
"Alright, see you," Rochelle said.
Then Nicole left the hotel room.
Several minutes later, everyone made the three-hour trip from Boston, Massachusetts to Bridgeport, Connecticut where RAW was. After checking in the hotel, John and the girls went to the arena. When they arrived there...
"Alright, girls," John said, "you sure you're gonna be all right?"
"Don't worry," Delancey said. "We're gonna be fine."
"And besides, John," Tina said, "now with Brittany on the team, you and Nicole need your space."
"Oh, yeah," Brittany said. "You definitely need your space. You don't want two more girls crowding it when only one can."
Brittany winked at John and she, Tina, Delancey, and Rochelle walked away to the Women's Locker Room.
"Brittany's pretty and smart," John said.
"No doubt about it," Nicole said.
Then John and Nicole walked down the hallway to the locker room. When they arrived there, John and Nicole went inside and sat their stuff down. Nicole went into her bag and took out her laptop computer. She turned it on and it was loaded. Nicole clicked on the internet browser and it came on with the WWE website. Then Nicole clicked on the link leading to the Babe of the Year photos. The theme for August was Black and White. The website showed a photo of Nicole and Delancey with their backs facing each other. Nicole was wearing a white "Chain Gang" t-shirt custom made and designed into a short-sleeved women's size with her left shoulder exposed, a black miniskirt, black net stockings, and a black hat with her hair in a ponytail and Delancey was wearing a white midriff tank top with a black skull and crossbones, black miniskirt and black hand warmers. Then John sat next to Nicole.
"Did I ever tell you that you look hot in these photos?" John said.
"Yeah," Nicole said as she giggled.
"So what's the theme for September again?"
"Back to School. Delancey and I are gonna be in schoolgirl costumes."
"Ooh, that's very nice. Maybe after RAW, you can play the teacher and I can be the student."
"You are so horny."
"No, I just love getting down you with you."
Then John and Nicole kissed each other.
A little later, RAW was on and Edge's entrance theme played. He comes out from the curtain without Lita or the WWE Championship belt. He walks down the ramp and gets in the ring. He then asked for a microphone and said,
"I have waited for this night my entire life. Each and every one of you bought tickets tonight thinking that I would no longer be the WWE champion. But you were wrong. People in the cheap seats, wrong. Grown men, wrong. Little kids, little kids..." Edge then leaves the ring and walks up to a child at ringside. "Hey, hey, buddy, did you think that your hero, John Cena, was going to beat me last night? You were wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong." Then Edge went back inside the ring. "Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! Because despite overwhelming odds stacked against me, the fact that I can lose my championship on a disqualification in John Cena's hometown, I emerged from Summerslam victorious. I am still your WWE Champion. But if I'm the champion, where's my championship belt? Where's my girlfriend, who was the hottest Women's Champion of all time, Lita, who got screwed thanks to John Cena's slut of a fiancee, Nicole Mitchell, and her little red-headed friend, Tina Alexander?" The fans then chanted "You suck!" "You're not gonna rain on my parade. No. I have the answers to both of those questions. Babe, babe, are you there?"
Then the Titantron showed Lita, who was outside of the arena.
"Hey, babe," Lita said as she blew a kiss. "I'm at the Bridgeport Harbor and look what I found."
Lita has the WWE Title belt in her hands.
"Okay, what's the bitch gonna do?" Nicole said as she and John were watching the whole thing in the locker room.
"Oh, look, it's my WWE Title," Edge said back at the arena. "But truth be told, it's more like John Cena's title. Since I have erased John Cena from my life forever, I think that I should get rid of the last remnant of John Cena with a beautiful burial at sea. Babe, would do the honors for me?"
"It will be my pleasure," Lita said.
And then, she tossed the belt into the harbor.
"No!" Nicole said. "That bitch! I'm gonna kill her!"
"Oh, there it goes," Edge said. "Goodbye, sayonara. And so ends the era of John Cena. But ladies and gentlemen, please welcome a new era, an era that is Rated R."
Smoke covers Edge in the ring and a new belt is lowered. It was a customized WWE Championship belt made for Edge with the Rated R logo on it.
"Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it gorgeous?" Edge said as he grabbed the belt. "And so ends the story of Edge and John Cena, just like I said it would, with a happy ending, for me. Now that John Cena is gone from my life..." The fans chanted again chanted "You suck!" "...if there's any other challengers out there who want to be the next chapter of the story for the Rated R Champion, then by all means, step up. But for right now, I'm gonna get my lady and celebrate this..."
Then Edge was interrupted by the Hardy Boyz' entrance theme and Jeff Hardy comes out from the curtain.
"Thank you so much, God," Nicole said. "Please have Jeff Hardy shut Edge up because I'm tried of hearing his mouth."
Edge was in shock in the center of the ring as Jeff gets in the ring and gets in Edge's face saying that Edge talks too much.
"What the hell are you doing here, Jeff Hardy!" Edge said. "Didn't you die like three years ago? Don't tell me, don't tell me. You are not going to make your comeback at my expense. Because if you think that you're like all these people, you're wrong. Jeff, learn a lesson from your older brother. I ruined Matt's career just like I ruined yours because he's talented. No, no, as a matter of fact, Matt is a no talent loser, just like you."
Jeff punches Edge and hits a mule kick. Then Jeff goes up top of the turnbuckle but Edge rolls out of the ring. Edge walks up the ramp like a coward once again and goes to the back.
"Oh, my god, Jeff Hardy is back," Nicole said. "And I am glad that he is teaching Edge a lesson, especially after what happened last year."
"Yeah, I don't blame him," John said as Nicole was looking down. "Babe, what's wrong?"
"Lita. I beat the bitch last night to regain the Women's Championship and now she throws your customized WWE Championship belt in the water. When is this drama gonna end? I need some time alone."
Nicole then got up and left the locker room. She was walking down the hallway until Tina and Brittany walked up to her.
"Oh, my god, Nicole," Tina said, "Jeff Hardy is back and he just sent Edge packing."
"Oh, this is going to be do good," Brittany said.
"Yeah, it will be," Nicole said as she looked down.
"What's wrong?"
"Lita," Tina said.
"Oh, what she did."
"Yeah," Nicole said. "Excuse me, girls, I need to be alone."
Then Nicole walked away and Tina and Brittany walked over to the locker room and went inside.
"Hey, girls," John said.
"Hey, John," Tina and Brittany said.
"Is Nicole okay?" Brittany said. "She seemed pretty upset."
"Yeah," John said. "She's just as upset as I am."
"We're sorry about what Lita did," Tina said. "Nicole's lucky the same thing didn't happen to her."
"Yeah. Did Nicole tell you where she was gonna be at?"
"No."
"I hope she's not thinking that last night was her fault."
"What do you mean, John?" Brittany said.
"Brittany, Nicole is pretty sensitive and emotional. When I lost the WWE Title at New Years Revolution, she ended up blaming herself and when I won the title back at the Royal Rumble, she told me that she felt like she was taking advantage of me."
"Wow, I had no idea Nicole felt that way."
"Well, the last couple of months have been hard," Tina said.
"Yeah," John said. "I better go find Nicole. I hope she's not hurting herself."
Then John got up and left the locker room.
He was searching everywhere and all over the arena until he found Nicole outside at the back of the arena crying and making a plea to her grandfather who was married to Sharon and passed away when Nicole was sixteen.
"Please, grandpa," Nicole said. "I know that I don't often speak and ask you for things, but you've got to help John get back what's rightfully his. This has been hard for me and I'm scared. I know that John wouldn't want me to be like this, but I can't help it. It's like everytime we get close, something bad happens. I can't take this anymore. Please, grandpa, you've got to help John. Please do it for me."
"Nicole?" John said as Nicole turned around.
The two didn't say anything to each other. Nicole just walked over to John and he hugged her. John was stroking Nicole's hair as Nicole was crying onto John's shirt.
"Come on," John said.
Then John and Nicole went back inside the arena.
A little later, it was time for the non-title match between Edge and Jeff Hardy. Jeff's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain. He walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Then Edge's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Lita following him. Edge had the customized WWE Championship belt around his waist.
Jeff hits a baseball slide before Edge gets into the ring followed by a plancha and punches. Jeff chases Lita away and then Jeff rolls Edge into the ring for a two count. Jeff kicks Edge but Edge throws Jeff under the bottom rope to the floor. Jeff hits the ringside barrier and Edge goes out after him. Edge Irish whips Jeff into the ring steps and then Jeff is rolled back into the ring.
Edge gets a kick to Jeff followed by a punch in the corner. Edge hits an elbow drop to Jeff's back and then he stretches Jeff against the ring post. Edge mocks Jeff's pose before hitting an Irish whip but he charges into a boot followed by a clothesline. Jeff goes up top but Edge moves out of the way. Jeff landed a DDT and covered for a two count. Jeff tries for the Twist of Fate, but Edge counters with an inverted DDT for a two count. Edge slams Jeff's head into the turnbuckle followed by an Irish whip but Jeff climbs the turnbuckles for a corkscrew senton splash and a two count.
Jeff punches Edge but Edge responds with punches of his own. Jeff hits a flying clothesline and a kick to Edge's head for a two count. Edge backs into the corner and Jeff punches Edge. The referee separates Jeff from Edge and Jeff gets a Twist of Fate and then he goes up top and he hits a Swanton but Lita pulls Edge to the apron and out of the ring on a two count. The referee then calls for the bell.
After the match, John, Nicole, Tina, and Brittany come out and John attacks Edge and tries to slam Edge through the wall. The girls gave Lita a beatdown and they dragged her as they were following John and Edge. The two men went through the crowd and John crashes Edge through the glass. They fight to the back and people try to break it up. Edge then slams John into a metal door and then Edge leaves the arena. The girls follow Edge and John chases after them and Edge.
John and Edge were continuing to fight outside the arena and John gets Edge up for an FU, but Edge escapes the hold. John sends Edge into a post and then slams Edge's head into a bulletin board.
"Hey, there's a bulletin board," John shouted. "I think there's a message for you. I ain't going nowhere!"
John continues to fight Edge and sends him into a tree.
"You got to be one with nature, champ," John shouted. "You son of a bitch."
The two men continue to fight onto the docks.
"Hold on, let me whip out my hose for you," John said as he chokes Edge with a hose.
Some agents try to pull John off and Edge hits John with a life preserver. Edge tries to get away but John comes from behind and hits Edge again. John tells the agents to stay back while Edge hangs above the harbor. Then John tosses Edge into the harbor.
"I ain't going nowhere!" John shouted.
"Hey, Lita," Nicole said as she grabbed Lita's face, "you better hope that your boyfriend can swim because we want him to see you get the hell beaten out of you tonight against Brittany Swanson."
"See you later in the ring," Brittany said.
Brittany and Tina let go of Lita, then they, along with Nicole and John went back to the arena.
A little later, it was time for the Legend versus Legend Killer match between Randy Orton and Ric Flair. "Eddie's Angels" was watching the match from the back. Randy's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. He walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Randy went on one of the turnbuckles and did his pose. He got back down and asked for a microphone.
"I don't care what the record book says," Randy said. "Randy Orton beat Hulk Hogan last night at Summerslam. And I got a little piece of footage that shows what happened to the Hulkster when he got the RKO. Let's take a took." Then the Titantron showed the footage of last night's match. "Obviously, Hulk didn't have enough strength in his body to kick out of the RKO. Nobody does. He got lucky and had a nervous twitch in his body causing that plastic hip in his body causing the referee to unfairly changed the decision. I beat Hulk Hogan, I beat Hulk Hogan last night just like I'm gonna beat Ric Flair here tonight in Bridgeport."
Then Ric Flair's entrance theme plays and he comes out from the curtain. Ric walked down the ramp and got into the ring and Ric took off his robe.
Randy tries to take advantage of Ric, but Ric is too much of a veteran to fall for that. Ric started the match chops and punches and Randy gets a suplex to Ric and Ric grimaces in pain as Randy wants Ric to get up. Randy tries to clothesline Ric against the ropes and he does it a second time to send Ric over the top rope to the floor. Randy then hit a standing dropkick to knock Ric off the apron to the floor. Randy goes outside and he punches Ric and then he hits a suplex on the floor.

Ric gets to his feet and he chops Randy and Randy punches while Ric chops back. Randy kicks Ric in the arm and then he punches Ric. Ric chops Randy but Randy gets a rake of the eyes and an RKO for the three count.
After the match, Randy kicks Ric and he chokes Ric. Randy pushes the referee while he was trying to stop him and Randy continues the attack on Ric. The referee calls for the bell and he reverses the decision.
Randy chases the referee out of the ring and Randy waits for Ric to get up for the RKO, but Carlito comes out and he hits an elbow drop on Randy and then he punches Randy. Carlito then gets a springboard back elbow that sends Randy out of the ring. As Randy was walking up the ramp...
"Yoo-hoo! Randy!" A voice said.
Randy turned around to see Eddie's Angels on the Titantron.
"Randy, Randy, Randy," Nicole said, "you thought you was smart enough to kill the legend of Hulkamania by hitting on Hulk Hogan's daughter, mocking his family, and hiring a neutralizer to get rid of Eddie's Angels."
"Guess what, Randy?" Delancey said. "You weren't that smart at all, just plain dumb. You can't kill the legend of Hulkamania and you can't get rid of Eddie's Angels. Nobody can. We stopped you at the biggest party of the summer and we even stopped you at the grandest stage of sports-entertainment, Wrestlemania. So Randy, why don't you do us all a favor? Shut the hell up and get over yourself, please!"
"Well, everybody," Rochelle said, "I guess this means that Eddie's Angels has accomplished another mission and we must make our final departure. You will hear from us again and so will you, Randy. So we will leave you with a simple parting message."
"Eddie's Angels" blew the kiss of death to Randy and signaled him to kiss their butts.
"Viva la raza!" The Angels said as they laughed and the Titantron faded to black.
"Wow, that was fun," Nicole said.
"Yeah, it was," Delancey said.
"Well, I guess that's the end of Eddie's Angels, huh?" Tina said.
"Yeah," Rochelle said, "but we got that DVD and the magazine coming out in November and I can't wait."
"That's gonna be fun," Nicole said.
"Well, Brittany, it's time for your first wrestling match. Are you ready?"
"I was born ready," Brittany said.
"Alright, we'll be watching," Delancey said.
"Let's go, guys," Tina said as she, Nicole, and Brittany walked away.
Then it was time for Brittany's first wrestling match against Lita. Nicole's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with Tina and Brittany following her.
"The following Divas' match is scheduled for one fall," Lillian Garcia announced. "Introducing first being accompanied to the ring by Tina Alexander and the new WWE Women's Champion, Nicole Mitchell, from Manhattan, New York, Brittany Swanson," Lillian announced.
Nicole was wearing a pink midriff top with slits in the middle, denim shorts, and her hair curled. Tina was wearing a pink convertible halter top, black miniskirt, black boots, and her hair curled. Brittany was wearing a two-piece pink and black bikini top, black pants, and her hair straight. The three Divas walked down the ramp and went into the ring. Brittany got on one of the turnbuckles and raised her arms in the air. She got back down and Nicole asked for a microphone.
"Now, everyone," Nicole said. "Eddie's Angels may be over, but they can never be replaced. That's why a new Diva team has formed to help John Cena solve problems. We are the Chain Gang Diva Squad consisting of myself, Tina Alexander, and the newest RAW Diva, formerly known as Eddie's Angels' neutralizer, Brittany Swanson. Since Lita wants to help her boyfriend so much, she's now gonna feel the wrath of us three girls, and win or lose, we're just gonna enjoy beating the hell out of her.
Then Lita's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.
"And her opponent from Atlanta, Georgia, Lita," Lillian announced.
Lita walked down the ramp with a pissed-off look on her face and got into the ring. She stared at Nicole, Brittany, and Tina. Then Nicole and Tina left the ring as the referee called for the bell.
The match started off with the two women exchanging slaps and then Lita knocked Brittany down with a right hand. Lita whipped Brittany off the ropes and then she nailed her with a hard clothesline. Lita picked Brittany up but Brittany kicked Lita in the gut and sent her to the corner followed by a splash. Brittany had the leg lock to Lita's neck and she tossed Lita across the ring by the hair. Brittany gave Lita a suplex and Brittany pinned Lita for a two count. Then Brittany kicked away on her as she was down.
Brittany backed Lita into the corner and stomped her down in the corner. Brittany got on the top rope and pulled Lita up and choked her and then she gave her a bulldog from the top rope! Brittany pinned Lita again for a two count. Lita got up and gave Brittany some right hands and then Brittany raked the eyes. Brittany whipped Lita off the ropes and then Lita took Brittany down with a clothesline and then some right hands down on the mat. Lita whipped Brittany into the corner and then she kicked her in the gut several times. Lita tried for the Twist of Fate but Brittany blocked it and hit her finishing move the Big Apple, a spinning bulldog, on Lita. Then Brittany went to the top rope and she came off with a moonsault on Lita and pinned for a three count to get the win.
"Here is your winner, Brittany Swanson," Lillian announced.
Nicole and Tina got into the ring and raised Brittany's arms in the air. The three hugged each other and they laughed at Lita. As Nicole, Tina, and Brittany left the ring and were walking up the ramp to reach the back, they turned around and raised their arms in the air. Then Nicole, Tina, and Brittany went to the back.
After RAW was over, John and Nicole went back to the hotel and John was laying on the bed looking up at the ceiling. Nicole got out of the bathroom in her Victoria's Secret signature black cami and boyshort pajamas. Then Nicole climbed onto the bed and kneeled next to John. John then sat up as he saw Nicole with a sad look on her face.
"I'm scared, John," Nicole said. "I'm really scared."
John caressed Nicole's face and he started kissing her passionately. John then pushed Nicole gently on the bed as he continued to kiss her. John then took off her cami and boyshorts and Nicole took John's boxers and the two began to make love.
