Chapter 8
Title: Revolutionary Wings
Show: WWE Raw Sunday PPV event - New Year's Revolution 06 (1/8/2006)
Summary: Ric Flair defends Intercontinental gold against Edge, Triple H faces the Big Show, future First Lady of Evolution arrives.

Evolution's championship show was about to begin. Triple H had just arrived in Albany, New York, where the Revolution would finally take place. The New Year's Revolution 06, that is. The Game, as it stands, still cannot wrestle in the Elimination Chamber match tonight, despite the fact that he gave Vince McMahon the pleasure of one more woman in WWE. And the first match she was going to wrestle was a matchup for the Women's Championship. What's more, Mr. McMahon actually thinks he met her on the street, and doesn't even realize that Trips said it was the most attractive woman Vince had ever seen before. He just momentarily tried to tell him that he's seen her before, and the boss did not even catch the wide open pass. This is going to take a little longer, but it'll be easier than he thought. He decided to call someone.

"Hello?" answered the voice on the other side.

"Hey, Nache. Where are you? You showed up around here yet?" the Game asked his comrade.

"Nope. I'm not gonna show until a couple hours later. Why?" a quizzical Flair asked. He and Triple H couldn't meet each other in public before the event in which the team got back together for all the marbles.

"Just making sure you remember to do your part tonight. Edge has got to learn why you don't mess with the Nature Boy," Trips reminded him.

"Right. Oh, and don't worry about the girl. I got her transportation to an area near the arena. She can take a ride and reach there as soon as it's time for her match," Ric said.

"Good. You keep the Intercontinental Title, and she wins the gauntlet match to become Women's Champion, and everything will start falling into place," Trips spoke with a smirk on his face. "See you tonight, Ric."

On that note, Triple H hung up the phone. Later, Ric Flair was in the area, but as a note of solidarity to the secrecy of thr matter, and so as to focus on their individual opposition, he and Triple H did not bother to seek out one another. After a feelgood moment in his locker room watching Chavo Guerrero pin Gene Snitsky with the Latino Heat Frog Splash (R.I.P. Eddie Guerrero! Latino Heat 1967-2005-4ever!), Ric was called by the workers to go for the first match on the card, which was his Intercontinental Title match against the Rated R Superstar. During each man's entrance, the response was good, but Ric Flair obviously had more fans on his side. Each man was, of course, their usual self. Edge had Lita by his side.

The match started when Edge took out Ric Flair right away as the Nache was showing off the Intercontinental Title. Edge got in a few right hands on Flair in the corner followed by a big high back body drop. Edge choked Flair in the corner until the referee broke it up. At this point, Triple H was scowling off in his room. Flair came back, though, with some stiff chest chops on Edge, followed up by a high back body drop. He let out a quick "Whooo!", feeling high at the moment, then got in a few rights hands on the Rated R Superstar before leaving the ring to chase Lita. During the race, Edge slid out and waited for Lita to lead him to Ric, who then got taken out with a clothesline on the outside. The Artist of Awesomeness then grabbed his elder opponent and hit a quick suplex on the outside mat as well. But don't worry about count outs. Edge rolled in to break the count, then continued to contol the action on the outside. Eventually, Edge put Flair back in the ring, and had him in the corner, where Edge got up on the ropes to hit a few hard rights.

Flair began to get some momentum when he knocked the disrespectful one down and got in a few chops. Edge stopped it, though, with a big dropkick to the face, then clotheslined the Nature Boy over the top rope to the outside. Edge jumped off the ring apron and got chopped in mid-air for it! Flair then picked up Edge, hit a few more chops on him, then low blowed him across the top of the ring barricade. Flair threw Edge back in the ring and hit a knee to the head. He then threw him into the corner, hitting a few punches and chops. The last chop took Edge. Flair then went up to the top. Edge and his girlfriend each took turns going in after Ric, but suffered eye rakes in the process, followed by a double axe handle on Edge off the top! Flair covered, but only got a two count. Flair hit a few more chops followed by a chop clothesline to the back of Edge's leg, taking him down. Flair then set his opponent up for the Figure Four. Lita then jumped up to the ring apron, only to get grabbed and taunted a bit. A mistaken Edge approached, only to get sent over the top rope to the outside. The Dirtiest Player in the Game then threw Lita in the ring and got her in the Figure Four leg lock, exciting the people big time! But Edge cut into fun time by hitting Flair with the briefcase and getting himself disqualified, as the ref called for the bell right there.

Despite the bell, Edge continued to hit Flair with hard rights. Flair was busted open at this point and satisfied, Mr. Money in the Bank stood up, raising his arms in the air smiling through the crowd boos. Flair, on the other hand, was flopping around holding his head in pain as Edge left the ring with his girlfriend the Walking Kiss of Death. Edge, however, made a personal decision to cross the line by coming back into the ring with the briefcase to take out Flair with another stiff shot to the head. The bell continued to ring. Ric never moved this time. WWE referees looked on and came to attend to Flair as soon as Edge and Lita left the ring.

Triple H was not liking this at all. He recognized that Ric Flair was still the WWE Intercontinental Champion, but in the shape the Nature Boy was probably placed in, this takeover was not going to be great. Now, there was no telling how long it would take before he could get all of Evolution together. But he had to make sure he paid attention to what was going down tonight in the match against the Big Show. A good half hour later, it became his time to run.

During his entrance, as a security measure, Triple H had to ask the referee to stop the Big Show from attacking him before he could make it to the ring. When he tried to get in, though Big Show approached, so Trips backs off again. Finally, the referee told the Angry Giant to back up and Triple H gots in. The bell rang, and here we go. Big Show attempted a right hand, but Triple H duck and got in one of his own, but Show threw Trips down with force. Trips rolled out of the ring to catch his breath for awhile before getting back in, then arguing with the referee that Big Show's cast is a weapon. The referee said it's legal when Big Show grabbed him and hit a headbutt. Show nailed Trips face first off the corner, then hit a big chop to the chest on the Game, leading to a series of giant control which included more of those frying pans.

Later, when Big Show approached the ropes, Triple H took him out with a running knee to the face, beginning to take control. Trips came out with Show, who then swung for a right hand, which the Cerebral Assassin ducked. The Big Nasty Bastard instead nailed his cast over the steel post and screamed out in pain. Trips then put him back in the ring and work on the giant's wrist. Show eventually fought back out of a wrist lock with a quick hip toss. Trips went up to the top and jumped, only to get nailed by a giant forearm, followed by a big headbutt and a side slam. When Big Show executed the side slam, he landed on his right side and injured his hand a bit more. The five hundred pound behemoth hit three big charges on Triple H in the corner, followed by a shoulder block, taking the smaller enemy down. Big Show then attempted a Major League Chokeslam, but failed to pick up Triple H due to his injured hand. Big Show then accidentally took out the referee, allowing Triple H to leave the ring and pull out a sledgehammer. Triple H came in with the hammer, but Big Show snapped it in half with his bad hand, leaving Triple H speechless. Show took out the Game with a quick kick to the face. Triple H then rolled out to get a steel chair. He couldn't use it before Big Show kicked him in the gut and sent him into the steel steps.

The Big Show tried to lift up part of the steel steps, but the hand stopped him from getting a good grip. Triple H hit a blantant low blow on Big Show, causing him to fall on the bottom of the steps. Trips then picked up the steel chair and smacked it across Show's injured hand. Seeing Mr. Big All Over grabbing his hand in pain, Trips tried to hit him again, only to get taken out with a spear! Big Show throws Triple H back in the ring and comes back in himself, then went for the Major League Chokeslam. But as Show went for it, Triple H picked up part of the sledgehammer and nailed Big Show in the head with it. Triple H threw it away, grabbed Big Show, set him down, and hit the Pedigree! Triple H covered Big Show. 1… 2… 3! And so, the King of Kings headed up the ramp victorious, while Big Show took a while to leave the ring and was favoring his injured hand.

Triple H smiled at his victory, heading back to his locker room, where he suddenly saw his mystery woman standing in front of him wearing a WWE backstage worker's outfit.

"You're not supposed to be in the arena yet," an unagreeing Game shot. Obviously, her being here this fast was not part of the plan.

"Don't worry. They think I'm just one of the workers," she spoke.

"I can see that, but you almost blew it there. Just remember not to undress until after you get to the curtains."

Later on, it was time for the now eight person Bra and Panties Gauntlet match for the WWE Women's Championship. First in the ring were Candace and Maria. Maria's bra got stripped, Candace ended up getting completely stripped first, after which Torrie Wilson came into the ring and suffered the same fate. Then, Victoria exposed Maria's panties to eliminate her, following which Mae Young and the Fabulous Moolah came in to strip Victoria's top off, after which Ashley came out to continue the match! When Ashley hit the ring, Victoria grabbed and set her for the Widow's Peak, but the Punk Child countered out of it and pulls down Victoria's shorts to eliminate her! For a moment, Ashley felt like she won the gauntlet, but then, she quickly realized that she had forgotten about the mystery woman, then Mickie and Trish. Thanks to Triple H, she got this opportunity to become the Women's Champion. And she needs to keep going for it. Suddenly, the music rang, and the crowd went insane. Then came the appearance of the now revealed mystery lady, and the announcement from Lilian Garcia:

"And introducing the next member of the gauntlet, from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, Miss Jackie!"

That's right! Miss Jackie, the one who was screwed over by Jeff Jarrett of Total Nonstop Action, is now back in WWE, and could become the Women's Champion really soon! But before thinking about that, Jackie decides to introduce herself personally to Ashley once she gets in the ring, as well as congratulate her on winning the Diva Search. They then have a hug, suggesting that they are friends. But before completely letting go, Jackie takes off Ashley's top, revealing her bra! Ashley, shocked and even laughing a little about being tricked, is about to (keyword: about to!) get herself together to get back into the match, when Jackie pulls down her shorts, then takes them off!

Ashley being eliminated, Mickie James saw that it was her turn to break into the ring. Mickie shook hands with Jackie, then knocked her down with a spinning kick. Suddenly, Eugene's music rang throughout the arena. Some of the people cheered, and others booed, but everyone reacted. Even Mickie and Jackie were surprised a little bit. But when it finally stopped, Jackie unbuttoned Mickie's top from behind, then took down her bottoms. Mickie was just stripped down to bra and panties and eliminated effortlessly.

Trish Stratus, the Women's Champion, finally came out to end the gauntlet. Suddenly, Lita came into the ring from out of nowhere to attack Trish. She took her down and pounded her head against the mat ruthlessly. Miss Jackie went to the outside to tell Mickie and send her in, and Mickie then turned the tables on the Queen of Extreme. After seeing this, Jackie, ever the opportunist, ripped off Trish's top, exposing her bra. Jackie tried to pick her up soon afterwards, but Trish countered into an inside cradle, in which she disrobed Jackie's top!

Now, both of them were one strip away from either being competitively violated or walking out of the Revolution the Women's Champion. After the two stood up, they approached each other as if about to get in a grapple, but Trish didn't comply. She came behind Jackie and hopped on top of her, then rolled her into a high angle clutch. Jackie, though, knew to protect her slacks with her hands so Trish's attempt to take it failed and Jackie could get up. She then used her opportunity to get in a school kid cover in which she did successfully remove Trish's pants and officially claim her title as the Women's Champion!

Triple H and Ric Flair, in separate rooms, smiled to themselves as Miss Jackie celebrated and was handed the Women's Title.

"This is going to be easier than I thought."

Oh, but one more interesting update; John Cena kept the WWE Title, but then got taken down by Edge, who cashed in his Money in the Bank to face Cena right there. It was pretty much a given. After a couple of Spears, Edge was the WWE Heavyweight Champion.

"Sounds like I gotta take him down now," Trips decided to himself. "Well, then. Things just got interesting, but it really doesn't matter."
