Chapter 29: When is Enough...Enough?
The next morning, Nicole was sleeping peacefully in an empty bed in the hotel room after a wonderful night that she will never forget. John had opened up the curtains to let the sun in. He had something planned for Nicole before the two had to leave for RAW in Hampton, Virginia. John sat on the bed, leaned down, and kissed Nicole's cheek, which woke her up. Nicole turned her head to see John looking down on her.
"Morning, Women's Champ," John said.
"Good morning, WWE Champ," Nicole said.
"I got you some breakfast."
"You did?"
"Yep."
John pointed to the table that had two plates of eggs, bacon, pancakes, and two glasses of orange juice.
"Oh, John," Nicole said.
"I thought we start your first official day as the Women's Champion with the most important meal of the day," John said.
"That's a great idea."
"Here you go."
John handed Nicole a white robe and she put it on. Nicole got out of the bed and walked over to the table where John was sitting. Then they started eating their breakfast.
"John, what was it like when you won the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania?" Nicole said.
"To tell you the truth," John said, "it was...it was great. I can't even explain it. That night was so amazing, it was just the beginning for me."
"I feel exactly the same way."
"I gotta tell you, your first Women's Championship, it's definitely something you wouldn't forget."
"No, I would never forget it."
After breakfast...
"Wow. That meal was really something to start off my day," Nicole said.
"Me, too," John said.
"But you know what? I'm still kind of hungry."
"What else do you want?"
Nicole didn't say anything. She got up from her seat, walked over to John, and climbed on his lap. John had a pretty good idea of what Nicole was gonna say and do.
"I...want...you," Nicole said as she took the robe off her shoulders showing them and also showing her cleavage.
"Well, I'm also kind of hungry...for you," John said.
He then started kissing Nicole and picked up her by her thighs. The two went over to the bed and John dropped Nicole on the bed. Nicole laughed as John climbed on top of her and took off her robe. Nicole then took off John's boxers and the two began to make love.
RAW was in Hampton, Virginia and Nicole was walking towards the catering room until she passed Eric Bischoff's office. She recognized the voices inside were Eric and Chris Jericho. Nicole then suddenly had a bad feeling in her stomach. She listened to the conversation because the door was opened a little.
"I had Cena beaten last night," Chris said. "Cena got lucky."
"I agree," Eric said. "But you know what? Cena's luck will run out tonight because you deserve a rematch and you also deserve to be the WWE Champion. Tonight, it won't only be a World Title match, but it will also be a 'You're Fired' match.
"That's a little weird but it's a great idea! I will definitely win and Cena will be fired."
After Nicole heard that, she immediately ran down the hallway to the locker room. When she got there, Nicole went inside and closed the door. John came out of the bathroom and saw Nicole catching her breath.
"Baby, what's wrong?" John said.
"Okay. I was walking to the catering room...and I walked past Eric Bischoff's office," Nicole said trying to catch her breath. "Chris Jericho was in there...and Eric made a match for the WWE Championship. But if you lose, not only you'll lose the championship, you will be fired."
John tried his best to control his temper in front of Nicole and he hasn't blown it yet in front of her.
"Look, Nicole," John said. "I'm gonna try my best to keep this title and keep my job. I'm not gonna blow it. Okay?"
"Okay."
"Alright. I need to get out and think. I'll talk to you later."
"Okay."
John left the locker room and Nicole leaned against the door and sat down in front of it.
"Please, god," Nicole said to herself. "I hope John doesn't get fired because I would hate to lose him; especially after the night I won the Women's Championship."
Then Nicole started to cry a little bit.
Later, Nicole was in the Women's Locker Room talking with Delancey and the 2005 RAW Diva Search Winner, Ashley. Ashley was set to make her RAW debut being introduced by two RAW Divas. Nicole and Delancey were going to watch it.
"So, Ashley, are you excited about your RAW debut?" Delancey asked.
"Yes, I'm so excited. I don't even know what to expect," Ashley said. "Hey, maybe next week, I get to be in a match with either of you girls."
"Well, don't expect that yet," Nicole said. "I know you're still in training to be a wrestler, but there's no need to rush."
"Yeah, I understand," Ashley said. "Well, I'm off. Wish me luck."
"Good luck," Delancey said as Ashley left the locker room.
Back in the arena, Torrie Wilson's entrance theme was playing and she came out from the curtain with Candice Michelle following her. The two walked down the ramp and Torrie got into the ring first. Candice jumped up on the apron, crawled between Torrie's legs, and she made her way up inside the ring. Torrie then grabbed a microphone and said,
"Surprise, we've been traded to RAW! I can't believe it's been four years for me and I know that RAW will get even hotter."
"That's right," Candice said. "Teddy Long says I was too hot for UPN, but I'm not too hot for RAW."
Then Candice did the Go-Daddy dance.
"Well, we have many surprises for all you guys and the first is the 2005 RAW Diva Search winner, Ashley Massaro!" Torrie said.
Ashley's entrance theme plays and she comes out from the curtain. She walks down the ramp and gets inside the ring. Ashley hugs Candice and Torrie and grabs a microphone.
"Guys, I just wanna say that it is an honor to be in the ring with you," Ashley said.
"Well, you're going to fit in well here and you might as well fit in right with us. Right, Candice?" Torrie said.
"That's right, Torrie, because I know I didn't win some big fancy check," Candice said. "Did you, Torrie?"
"No, I missed that one."
"Well, if you guys don't mind, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the fans for putting me here," Ashley said. "Thank you so much, guys. I promise, I'm gonna try my hardest to return the favor."
"Well, Ashley, we were actually thinking that maybe she could return that favor...right now," Candice said as she tugs Ashley's sleeve.
Torrie then kicks Ashley in the gut. Torrie and Candice were laughing at what they did and Candice slaps Ashley across the face. Torrie then tosses Ashley to the mat and Torrie high fives Candice. Then they leave the ring as Ashley was lying in pain.
Nicole and Delancey saw the whole thing and they were immediately shocked.
"Delancey, please tell me what I saw was a joke," Nicole said.
"No, it wasn't," Delancey said. "How do you think Rochelle's gonna feel when she sees this?"
"You know she would be upset. Very upset."
"Well, at least she has Sharmell to hang around with."
"Yeah."
Later, it was time for the You're Fired match for the WWE Championship between John and Chris Jericho. Chris' entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Eric Bischoff following him. He walks to the ring and John's entrance theme plays and he comes out from the curtain with Nicole following him. She was wearing a gold tank top with sequins at the bust line, black miniskirt, and black boots. Nicole also had the Women's Championship belt on her shoulder. They walked down the ramp and entered the ring and Nicole poses with John as he gets on one of the turnbuckles raising his title belt in the air. Nicole raised her Women's Title belt in the air as well. John gets back down, takes off his green "Chain Gang Soldier" shirt and Chain Gang visor and throws them to the crowd. Nicole kisses John for good luck and leaves the ring as the referee raises the WWE title belt and calls for the bell.
The two men stand face to face and butt heads as Chris slaps John. John tackles Chris and punches him. John then works on Chris in the corner before giving him that flipping hip toss. Eric grabs the foot of John and Chris rolls him up for a two count. Chris nails a dropkick and assaults John in the corner.
Chris nails a back elbow and covers for a two count. He then nails a vertical suplex followed by a few elbows on John. He works John to the corner where he chops away on his chest before stomping a hole in him and choking him with the boot. John is whipped to the corner but he moves as Chris flies at him and Chris nails the post and falls to the outside. Eric attends to Chris but John comes out and grabs him to throw him back in the ring. Eric stalls John and John goes and grabs him but Eric hits a low blow on him! Chris comes out and removes some of the security rail to smash John's head off it.
Nicole goes to check on John but Chris grabs John and throws him back in the ring.
John is in trouble as Chris has him in a head lock. John hits a back suplex on Chris but Chris follows up with a drop toe hold and he slams the head of John off the mat several times. Chris kicks the ribs of John a few times before mounting him for a 10 punch. He only gets a few but he gets right back on John again. John fires back on Chris as they go blow for blow until Chris hits a spinning heel kick for a two count. Chris chokes John with his boot illegally as he talks to the referee. John gets an inside cradle for a near fall. Chris waits for John to get up and he nails him with a clothesline for another two count. Chris works John to the corner and places him on the top rope.
Chris goes up with him and he goes for the superplex but John blocks it and flapjacks Chris on his face! John goes for a flying cross body and he crashes and burns. Chris drops an elbow to John's lower back and he uses the ropes for the pin but the referee catches him. Chris places John in a rear chin lock but he gets to his feet and they exchange blows again. John gains control with a big shoulder block followed by a couple of clotheslines and a reverse elbow in the corner. John then runs into a boot from Chris but as he runs at John, John turns it into the FU but Chris clubs him and gets out with a roll up but he changes that into the Walls of Jericho. John is in pain and he cannot reach the ropes as Eric pulls them away. Chris pulls John back to the middle of the ring and he is in so much trouble as Chris has the hold on a lock down. John crawls to the ropes once more and this time he finally makes it.
Chris is upset and he argues with the referee but he turns around right into the FU. John picks him up but his legs can't hold Chris right now. He gives it all his might and plants Chris with the FU but he falls and cannot make a quick pin. He finally covers Chris but at two, Bischoff places Chris's foot on the ropes. He then gives Chris brass knuckles. John goes to pick up Chris but Chris clocks him with the brass knuckles. Chris is slow to cover but he does...1...2...
KICKOUT by John! Chris tries to cover again but John kicks out again. Eric gets on the apron with the WWE Title belt and the referee fights with him over it all. John and Chris battle, John sweeps the legs of Chris and gives him a slingshot right into Eric. He then catches Chris and plants him with the FU for the three count.
After the match, the referee raised John's arm in the air and Nicole got into the ring to celebrate his victory. John and Nicole then kissed each other and Eric gets in the ring with a microphone in his hand.
"Chris Jericho," Eric said. "you son of a bitch, you're fired!"
Chris looks shocked and he starts begging for his job on his hands and knees but Eric does not budge. Security then comes out, they get into the ring, and they carry Chris out.
Then Kurt Angle comes behind John and Nicole and starts beating the hell out of John as Nicole immediately moves out of the way. Kurt drops him with a German suplex followed by a ton of blows and more suplexes. Eventually, he hits the Angle slam and Kurt gets on his knees and screams to the sky. Eric comes back in the ring with the microphone in his hand and said,
"Cena, say hello to the new number one contender for the WWE Title, Kurt Angle."
Kurt slaps John around, picks up the WWE Title belt, and stares at it. Then he dropped it and he and Eric finally left the ring as Nicole got back in the ring to check on John. He struggles to get up as Kurt and Eric walked at the ramp and start laughing at John. This was a sign for bigger things to come later.
