Nicole's "Teen People" article will be in bold. I hope you like the idea I came up with.
Chapter 11: Nicole's Final Day on Smackdown
A week later...
Smackdown was in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and Nicole had planned to take Sharmell, Torrie, Joy, and Michelle shopping at the largest mall in the world, the West Edmonton Mall. This would be their last get together before the Draft Lottery on Monday so they had to enjoy each other's company. They were at a music store when Sharmell spotted the latest issue of Teen People magazine which the 25 Hottest Stars Under 25 List.
"Nicole, come here," Sharmell said.
Nicole walked over to the magazine section where Sharmell was.
"What's up?" Nicole said.
"Look what I found."
Sharmell was holding the magazine in her hand.
"Ooh. Turn to the page!" Nicole said.
Sharmell quickly flipped the pages of the magazine and saw Nicole's page. Nicole was standing on a bridge wearing a pink tank top that says, "Cena's Girl," sparkling denim shorts, and her hair curled with a red rose in it.
"The Next Rising Diva. Ooh, I like the sound of that, girlfriend," Sharmell said. "Nicole Mitchell. Age: 25. Why She's Hot: Besides being the Doctor of Thuganomics and reigning WWE champion John Cena's leading lady, she's also the first WWE diva to make Teen People's 25 Hottest Stars Under 25 list and the WWE sees a lot of potential in the St. Louis, Missouri native. Did you know that Nicole is a former Miss Fitness America 2002 and a former international fitness model? How about the fact that she's had an 'expert' background in dance, gymnastics, cheerleading, and kickboxing?"
"Wait. Let me read my quotes," Nicole said. "I've had such a busy life and schedule, but it paid off and got me to my childhood dream which was wrestling.' Okay, continue."
"Nicole made her WWE debut in April 2004, but her first year wasn't as amazing as she thought. With her four chances of being the Women's Champion and not winning one and also breaking up with the Legend Killer Randy Orton, Nicole was on the verge of depression.' I'm really sorry about that, Nicky."
"It's okay. I'm over it."
"That's until a 'guardian angel' who's she dating right now gave her the courage to win and never give up and that's what happened at Wrestlemania 21 if you watched it. Nicole and John Cena are among one of the hottest couples in entertainment."
"It's funny because most couples in entertainment are the ones people can make fun and make a big deal of. But for me and John, there were a lot of people who were telling me that they were happy that John and I got together. For once, they were right."
"Well, Nicole, Teen People are wishing you a happy life with John!' Girl, they went all out on this article."
"Wait a minute, there's more."
"Oh, okay. 'Hidden Talent: Nicole can really sing and has been since the age of 2. She recently recorded a demo in Boston and hopes to get a record deal with her boyfriend with his own CD "You Can't See Me" out in stores now. She also has a knack of designing clothes. She made the top that's she wearing.' Girl, you are so lucky you made this list."
"Yeah. I hope that I can become a role model for young girls who want to be like me if you know what I'm saying."
"Yeah."
Then Nicole's cell phone started to ring. Nicole took it out of her purse and read the caller ID that said, "John."
"Hmm. I wonder what John wants." Nicole said as she answered the call. "Hey, hottie."
"Hey, sexy. How you doing?" John said.
John was at the arena where Smackdown was.
"I'm good. What's up?" Nicole said.
"Guess what?" John said.
"What?"
"Columbia Records called. They loved your demo and they want you to sign a record deal with them."
"Are you joking me?"
"I'm not. I'm not messing with you. This is for real."
"Oh, my god. Oh, my god. I can't believe this."
"Well, believe it, baby. This is only the beginning."
"John, I can't thank you enough. I really can't."
"You're welcome, baby. Well, I see you when you get back to the arena."
"Okay. See you, baby."
"Bye."
Nicole ended the call and looked at Sharmell.
"What's going on?" Sharmell asked.
"John just told me that Columbia Records loved my demo that...they want me to sign a record deal with them!" Nicole said.
Sharmell then hugged Nicole.
"Oh, my god. Congratulations! When are you going to sign?" Sharmell said.
"I don't know. I gotta talk to John about that," Nicole said. "I can't believe this. Since the age of 2, I've been singing as a hobby, but now, I'm going to follow John's footsteps and have my own CD out pretty soon. God, could this get any better?"
"Honey, this is gonna be so awesome for you, you won't regret it."
"You're damn right I won't. Come on, let's go tell everybody."
"Alright."
Later, Smackdown was on and John and Nicole were helping Sharmell prepare for her handicap match with Booker T. against Kurt Angle.
Last week, there was a "Winner's Choice" battle royal and Kurt Angle won it. Instead of facing John for the WWE Championship, he chose Sharmell as his opponent. Then Booker T. went to General Manager Theodore Long demanding that Sharmell be taken out of the match. Theodore wasn't able to do that but then added Booker T. to the match. Booker T. accepted it but still wasn't happy.
"Okay, Sharmell, you think you can take him?" Nicole said.
"Yeah, I think I can take him," Sharmell said.
"Alright, then," Booker T. said. "We are gonna bust his ass tonight!"
"Alright, then," Nicole said. "Let's go."
"Alright," Sharmell said.
"Nicole," John said, "be careful out there."
"I will," Nicole said.
Then she walked up to John and kissed him before walking away following Booker T. and Sharmell.
Kurt's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. Kurt walked down the aisle and went into the ring and then Booker T.'s entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Sharmell and Nicole following him. Nicole was wearing a "Word Life" shirt cut into a tube top, denim jeans, and her hair straight. The three walked down the aisle and Booker T. and Sharmell got inside the ring with Nicole still outside the ring.
The referee said Sharmell had to be in the ring for the match and he called for the bell. Kurt worked over Booker T. in a corner early, but Booker T. fired right back. Kurt got control and tried to chase Sharmell down, but she ran away. As Kurt gave chase, it gave Booker T. the opening to attack Kurt. Booker T. hit some chops, but missed a side kick and crotched himself on the top rope. Kurt knocked Booker T. to the floor. Kurt stalked Sharmell around the ring, and she tripped over the ring steps. Kurt rolled her into the ring, then wet up for a piledriver, gyrating his hips. Booker T. came back in and attacked Kurt, pounding him on the mat. Booker T. hit a Bookend, and went to the top rope, but Kurt crotched him. Kurt gave Booker T. a superplex, but hurt his back on the way down. Nicole on the outside told Sharmell to hurry to pin Kurt but Kurt got a shoulder up at two. Sharmell tried to revive Booker T. and he got up.
Kurt was now working over Booker T. with a Fujiwara armbar. Kurt went into a regular armbar, but Booker T. fought up and punched out. Booker T. worked over Kurt with punches and chops, but was caught in a trio of German suplexes for a two count. Sharmell jumped onto Kurt's back, but Kurt flipped her off and put her in a bodyscissors. Kurt caressed her face, terrifying her, until Booker T. broke it up. Kurt ducked a Booker T. clothesline and hit an Angle Slam for a two count. Kurt turned his attention towards Sharmell, who slapped Kurt, then bit him on the nose. Sharmell slapped Kurt, and tried to kick him, but Kurt grabbed her in an ankle lock. Booker T. broke it up with a superkick. Booker T. hit a pair of clotheslines, then hit a spinkick. Booker T. went for the ax kick, but Kurt ducked it and rammed Booker T. into Sharmell and the referee, knocking both out. Booker T. gave Kurt a superkick, knocking him from the ring, and checked on his wife. Kurt grabbed a chair and smashed Booker T. twice with it, then kicked him from the ring. Kurt then cradled Sharmell for the pin, as the referee woke up to make the three count.
Kurt stayed on top of Sharmell, and was moving in to kiss her, as Booker T. came back in and ran him off. Nicole came in and tried to help her. Then she and Booker T. carried Sharmell out of the ring and into the back.
"I have had it," Nicole said. "I have had it with Kurt Angle and his disgusting tactics.! Booker, you need to do something to him. Not now, but right now!"
"Nicole, don't worry, I'll handle it," Booker T. said. "I'll handle it."
"Alright. Sharmell, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine," Sharmell said. "Thanks for having my back though."
"Hey, what are friends for."
"Girl, I'm gonna miss you if you get drafted."
"You don't say that just yet. I don't know if I'll get drafted or not. But if I do, I don't think I can handle being back on RAW while Kurt Angle is still after you."
"Hey, like my man said, he'll handle it."
"Alright." Then Nicole hugged Sharmell. "I'll see you around."
"See ya, girlfriend."
Then Nicole walked away.
Later it was time for the tag team main event which was John and the Big Show vs. Carlito and Matt Morgan.
When Smackdown first started, Carlito had his talk-show in the ring with Matt Morgan and John and Nicole came out. Carlito mentioned that John was only WWE Champion because he hadn't defended against him. John made fun of Matt's stuttering and Carlito warned John not to make Matt mad. John then made fun of Carlito, throwing in a comparison between Matt and Michael Cole saying one oils himself up while wearing spandex in public, the other, in private. Carlito, mentioning the draft lottery, said Edge, Triple H or Shawn Michaels could be coming to Smackdown to embarrass John. John essentially said he would take on anyone. John then informed Carlito and Morgan that he went to General Manager Theodore Long earlier, and there would be a tag team match tonight with Carlito and Matt versus John and The Big Show, who John said would be arriving soon.
Carlito's entrance theme played and he comes out with Matt Morgan. They walked to the ring and John's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Nicole following him holding a picket sign that said, "THE CHAIN GANG AIN'T HARD TO FIND!" John and Nicole walked down the aisle and John got into the ring first with Nicole walking around the ring with the picket sign and giving it to one of the fans. The Big Show's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain. He had his shoulder and ribs heavily taped thanks to Matt Morgan giving the Big Show an F-5 through the announcer's table. Big Show gets into the ring and stares angrily at Carlito and Matt as the referee called for the bell.
Matt and Carlito couldn't decide who to start against the Big Show and Carlito got in there but then scampered outside. John came around and threw him back in and Big Show chopped away on him in the corner. Matt got in his face from the apron and Big Show gave him a pie face to the floor. Big Show then picked up Carlito and tossed him over the top rope into Matt.
Matt got back in the ring and Big Show tossed him the corner and gave him some huge chops before tagging John in. John gave Matt some body shots and then sent him head first to the corner. John whipped Matt to the corner and charged in with a high elbow and then hit a body slam and elbow drop for two. Matt came back with a big boot to the face and then stomped on John before choking him. Matt gave John a scoop slam and hit a big elbow drop for two and then choked at him some more. Matt gave John another slam and went for an elbow but John moved and tagged Big Show. Big Show scored with some clotheslines and Carlito came inside, but Big Show tossed him back out and then hit a side slam on Matt, but Big Show hurt his ribs.
Matt stomped Big Show in the corner and then choked him with his boot. Carlito got on the apron and dropped Big Show's injured arm across the apron allowing Matt to take control. Matt drove his knee into the back of Big Show's head and Carlito gave him a cheap shot. Matt applied pressure to the ribs in the corner with his boot and then tagged in Carlito. Carlito kicked and punched the ribs of Big Show and then hammered away with right hands to the head. Carlito tagged Matt back inside who gave Big Show a side Russian leg sweep for a near fall. Matt then locked in a bear hug on the injured ribs of the Big Show. Big Show elbowed out and gave him a headbutt but Matt came back with a boot and tagged Carlito. Big Show battled back against both men and went for a chokeslam on Carlito but Matt kicked him off and he landed next to John.
John tagged in and went to work on both men and hit a suplex on Matt followed by a spinning side slam to Carlito. Big Show got back to his feet and clotheslined Matt to the outside. John hit the Five Knuckle Shuffle on Carlito and then picked him up for the FU and scored with it, and then covered for the victory.
Nicole got into the ring and she and John celebrated and looked around for the Big Show. They found him and they got out of the ring to check on him. He was hurting on the floor and John and Nicole helped the Big Show to the back.
"So, Show," Nicole asked, "you think you'll be all right?"
"Yeah," Big Show said. "I'll pull through. I can't believe the Draft Lottery is Monday. Who do you will think is gonna get the call?"
"I don't know," John said. "But I have a feeling this will be an explosive Draft Lottery."
"Me, too, John," Nicole said. "Me, too."
"Well, this may be goodbye, this may not be," Big Show. "So, I'll see you around."
"I'll be seeing you," John said slapping Big Show's hand.
"I'll see you around as well," Nicole said hugging him.
"You guys take care," Big Show said as he walked away.
"Oh, my god. The Draft Lottery is coming and we won't know who is the pick is until Monday."
"Well, I like I said," John said, "this will be an explosive Draft Lottery."
"Yeah."
"Shall we get out of here?"
"Yeah. Let's go."
