For those who read the the first chapter just after it was published, I had to update it since half of it had not been uploaded.
Raw after Wrestlemania 31
(March 30, 2015)
The fans were enjoying how Raw after Mania has been going so far. There had even been an open challenge held by John Cena for his United States Championship. At You Can Look (But Can't You Can't Touch) beginning to play, fans watched Nikki Bella walk down to the get into the ring.
"I am the Divas Champion, but some seem to think that I shouldn't be. Tonight, I am going to prove to everyone that I deserve this title on my shoulder." Nikki announced with all seriousness and determination. "Jeff Hardy, will you accept my challenge?"
"Jeff Hardy?" King questioned, surprised on who Nikki was calling out.
Silence filled the arena with fans not sure if they should react or not to the challenge while Nikki had eyes on the stage. Finally, Voices played for Jeff to step out in ripped jeans and a sleeveless shirt. Jeff walked down the ramp to slip into the ring and she accepted a microphone.
"Nikki, I don't want your title." Jeff informed.
"Is that because you think yourself too good to be a Diva? Or you're just not up to the challenge?"
"There are Divas who have earned chances at the title. You should wrestle one of them."
"You aren't up to a match with me. Would rather be on your husband's arm, living off his achievements." Nikki claimed. "You came out to his music just now. Jeff Hardy is no legend thriller anymore."
"You can have a match, Nikki. But, like I said, I don't want your title." Jeff told her and then left the ring.
"Wow. Tonight, we will see Divas Champion Nikki Bella verse Jeff Hardy." Cole said to the fans.
Jeff walked backstage to her husband's locker room to see him seated on the bench, already out of his gear and in his typical street clothes of jeans and t-shirt. He had opened Jeff's gear bag when heard her accept the match.
"Are you sure on doing this match?" Randy asked.
"Yeah. Nikki is probably still upset about her loss yesterday and feels that she needs to prove herself. We'll wrestle and she can cool down."
"Why go for you though?" Randy wondered. "Paige would have been a better choice."
"I don't know."
Into black cargo pants and a rash guard with green belt was changed into by her. She did snake eyes in green and white over her eye lids along with lines of black going down a cheek to look like venom. Once ready, she stuck a towel in her pocket and exited the locker room. The first to go down to the ring was Nikki in her red gear worn at Wrestlemania and she waited for her opponent. She heard Similar Creatures play for Jeff to come out and get into the ring.
"This may be a good match." King said as he watched the ref take the Divas Championship.
The bell rang with both women circling in the ring until Nikki made the first move. She tried to tackle Jeff for a punch to connect with her cheek to cause Nikki to stumble. No time did Nikki have before an elbow got her in the face too. Jeff did a front slam on Nikki before stepping back to watch Nikki unsteadily get to her feet. An irish whip sent Nikki into a corner and Jeff forced her to sit on the top turnbuckle, With a hurricanrana, Jeff sent Nikki crashing into the mat hard and a pin was gone for.
"One." the ref got to before Nikki flung her shoulder up to stop the pin.
As Jeff moved to go for a flip senton, Nikki rolled to make her end up missing with it. This was the chance Nikki needed to take over with control in the match. She gave a snapmare to Jeff followed by a soccer ball kick into her back. Next, Nikki did an elbow drop on Jeff's back with push-ups.
"Nikki appears to be targeting Hardy's back." Cole noticed.
"Smart. Jeff has a history of back problems." King said.
Nikki tossed Jeff into a corner for her chest to hit hard on the turnbuckle pads. Forearm smashes hit full strength on Jeff's back that had her falling to her knees. She barely avoided Nikki's stomp and landed a gut kick on the Divas Champion. A Twist of Faith got delivered to Nikki and then Jeff got on the top turnbuckle. Once delivering a Swanton Bomb, Jeff turned for a cover on Nikki.
"One. Two. Three."
With a wince from her back, Jeff got on her knees to rest a few seconds. Nikki stood with hands clenched tight in fists over her plan to beat Jeff not happening. She snatched her championship from the ref and saw Jeff getting onto her feet. Before Jeff could react, Nikki smashed her championship right into the enigma's back to send her down on the mat. Still not done with Jeff, Nikki set the older woman up for a Rack Attack after hitting her with the championship several more times in the back. After the Rack Attack, Jeff laid on the mat in severe pain. The Divas Champion was about to do a second Rack Attack, but she was hit with an RKO. Randy moved to his wife's side as Nikki laid dazed on the mat.
"Jeff." Randy whispered, touching her hair.
He could tell how much pain his wife was in from Nikki's assault by just looking at Jeff's face and tense muscles. At seeing the tear tracks going through the faceprint, Orton put his eyes on a just moving Nikki, who was recovering from the RKO.
"No! No!" Cole shouted at realizing what Orton wanted to do.
Randy got himself set up for doing a punt kick with having Nikki Bella just needing to rise a little bit more. On his way to do the kick, Randy got tackled to the mat by Triple H, Chris Jericho, and Kane. They held him down as Cena got his girlfriend out of the ring and from the danger.
"Randy, cool down." Chris instructed his friend.
"She hurt my wife." spat Orton protectively.
"Randy." Jeff cried for her husband.
Once free, Randy went straight to her to lay his forehead against her own. Medics reached the ring to carefully move Jeff onto a backboard to be laying on her side and then gurney. Randy remained at her side during the transport to backstage and to the trainer's room. A medic got started on examining Jeff's back to determine if she needed to go to the hospital or not. Badly was Randy trying to control his anger over what Nikki Bella had done to his wife. The assault had been uncalled for when Jeff gave Nikki a completely fair match that the champion had wanted.
"I don't see anything serious. I suggest you rest for the next few days, Jeff, to recover."
"Okay." Jeff weakly nodded.
"Randy, I will email you some physical therapy exercises that she can do at home and will help."
"Thank you." Randy replied.
The entirety of Jeff's mid back was already starting to bruise along with welts from the championship left behind. Randy with gentleness lifted Jeff into his arms to carry out of the room.
In her locker room, Nikki was proud of what she'd done to Jeff Hardy out in the ring after their match. She would show all of those that doubted her right to be Divas Champion that she wasn't someone to be underestimated.
"Have you lost your mind, Nicole?" Brie asked her twin as she came into the locker room.
"No, I haven't." Nikki answered.
"Bryan talked with Kane. Hunter and Stephanie are seriously mad over what you just did to Jeff Hardy after the match."
"I was only making sure that everyone remembers that I am Divas Champion."
"Jeff Hardy didn't want your title. Your actions could have consequences. Or should I say more of them since Orton already gave you an RKO and was going to punt kick you in the head."
"John would have kicked his ass if got too close." Nikki claimed.
"Nicole, until you come to your senses, I am keeping my distance from you."
Brie left the locker room to walk through the hallway. She spotted Orton carrying his wife to the back exit with Michelle acting like a concerned mom as she followed the couple. The assault done by her twin on Jeff was going too far and Brie would watch out for herself and Bryan first. Nikki was going to have to deal with it all on her own this time.
