Chapter 30: Punking Out Kurt and the It Girls
RAW was in Tampa, Florida and Nicole was going to be in a Schoolgirl match against Candice Michelle.
RAW was on and the first match was a Divas' match between Delancey and Torrie Wilson. Delancey was in the back with Nicole and Ashley.
"Okay. I'm gonna teach Torrie Wilson exactly what happens when you cross the line," Delancey said.
"Well, Rochelle called me and told me to wish you luck," Nicole said. "You know she was very upset for what Torrie and Candice did to Ashley."
"After everything Rochelle done for those two bitches, if Rochelle was traded to RAW, Torrie and Candice would both be first on her hit list."
"Well, I know that you can take Torrie down, so I wish you luck," Ashley said.
"Thanks, Ash. See you later, guys."
"Good luck, D," Nicole said as Delancey walked away.
Then it was time for the Divas' match between Delancey and Torrie Wilson. Torrie's entrance theme played and Torrie came out from the curtain.
"The following Divas' match is scheduled for one fall." Lillian Garcia announced. "Introducing first from Boise, Idaho, Torrie Wilson."
Torrie walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Then she stood waiting for Delancey to come out. Delancey's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.
"And her opponent from Chesterfield, Missouri, Delancey Scott," Tony announced.
Delancey was wearing a black midriff tank top with strings at the bottom crossing over in the front and tying in the back, black arm warmers, and pink pants. She walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Delancey got in Torrie's face and the referee called for the bell.
Delancey pushed Torrie and Torrie pushed Delancey back. Delancey and Torrie lock up and Delancey hit a knee to the gut and delivered a double axhandle to the back of Torrie. Delancey slammed Torrie face first into the mat a few times then catapulted her into the turnbuckles. Delancey choked Torrie against the bottom rope, but Torrie came back with a sunset flip, and they traded reversals for two counts. Delancey hit a knee lift, then dropped Torrie with a powerslam for a two count. Delancey then hit some forearms to the head and then a DDT. Delancey got on the turnbuckle and tried to hit the Ram's Moonsault, but Torrie doublekicks Delancey in the gut and Delancey landed on the mat in pain. Torrie then hit a springboard face slam and pinned Delancey for the win.
"Here is your winner, Torrie Wilson," Lillian announced.
The referee raises Torrie's left arm in the air and she looks down and smiles at Delancey who was lying in pain holding her stomach. Torrie then leaves the ring and walks to the back leaving Delancey lying in the ring. Nicole and Ashley saw the whole thing in the Women's Locker Room.
"Damn, I thought Delancey had it," Nicole said.
"So did I, Nicole," Ashley said. "So did I."
Then Nicole and Ashley saw Shelton Benjamin coming out, getting in the ring, and helping Delancey up. Shelton got out of the ring, pulled Delancey out, and was carrying her to the back as RAW went to commercial break.
A little later, Torrie's entrance theme was playing and she came out from the curtain with Candice Michelle. The two were dressed the same in silver metallic dresses. 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,
"Last week, we surprised everyone when we debuted right here on RAW, especially the person we initiated. That would be the 2005 RAW Diva Search winner, Ashley Massaro."
"And we realized that our actions might have been a little overwhelming and we want to apologize publicly out here to Ashley," Candice said.
"Ashley, we feel really bad for how we came across. So please, Ashley, will you come out here and let us show you how sorry we really are."
Nicole, Delancey, and Ashley were in the back watching Torrie and Candice and Ashley was about to walk to the arena when Delancey stopped her.
"Wait, you're actually gonna go out there?" Delancey said.
"Yeah," Ashley said. "If they are sorry, then maybe I can forget about what happened last week."
"Ashley, you understand that this may not be good," Nicole said. "Look what Torrie did to Delancey."
"Look, I can take these bitches down, one way or another."
"Okay. But the second things look bad, we will come out there and help you," Delancey said.
"Okay."
Then Ashley walked away.
Ashley's entrance theme plays and she comes out from the curtain. She walks down the ramp, gets inside the ring, and grabs a microphone.
"Ashley, Torrie and I, we are very sorry for what happened last week," Candice said. "I mean, I wanted to apologize to you seriously from the bottom of my heart."
"Will you forgive us, please?" Torrie asked.
"After last week, I'm sure you'll understand that I'm a little skeptical," Ashley said, "but if you guys are serious, then I guess I accept."
"Well, that's great," Candice said. "We are being completely honest and now that you're officially a RAW Diva, Torrie and I figured out a way to make it up to you."
"Right. We know how much you want to be a wrestler," Torrie said, "so we pulled a few strings and we got permission from the General Manager for you to have your very first match."
"Tonight, right here in Tampa."
"We know that you're just starting out learning all the moves and everything, but we have total confidence in you. And you know what, you could do that little monkey flip thing that you do."
"Yeah, totally. Or maybe you could learn your place, which is to look pretty and to shut your mouth."
"Okay, okay," Ashley said. "I understand what's going on here. Which one of you two am I gonna face?"
"Oh, no, silly rabbit. You're not facing one of us."
"Actually, I've already had a match with that rebel bitch Playboy cover girl Delancey Scott and I know she's still hurting from those kicks I gave her," Torrie said. "Actually, you're facing her."
Then Victoria's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain. Torrie pushed Ashley and Ashley shoved Torrie and Candice down. Before Victoria got into the ring, Ashley hit a baseball slide on Victoria and hit her with right hands. But Victoria sent her into the apron and then tossed her in the ring. Victoria kicked Ashley in the midsection and then nailed the Widow's Peak for the easy win.
After the match, Torrie and Candice celebrated the victory with Victoria as Ashley is still down and out. Then Nicole and Delancey ran down the ramp and got into the ring with Nicole hitting the double clothesline on Torrie and Candice and Delancey then took Victoria down by spearing her. Delancey helped Nicole by stomping Torrie and Candice in the stomach. Victoria charged at Delancey, but Delancey hit the superkick on Victoria's face. Candice and Victoria escaped and Torrie was left alone in the ring. Nicole and Delancey both kicked Torrie in the gut and they hit a double DDT on Torrie. Then Nicole and Delancey tossed Torrie out of the ring and Candice and Victoria helped her up. The three walked up the ramp and went to the back as Nicole and Delancey checked on Ashley. They helped Ashley up as her back was still sore. The three left the ring and walked up the ramp as RAW went to a commercial break.
A little later, John's entrance theme plays and he came out from the curtain with Nicole following him. Nicole was wearing a black tank top which lined at the bust and the rest of it was see-through lace, a denim miniskirt, black boots, and her hair straight. John and Nicole were standing at the top of the ramp and Nicole had something hiding behind her. She pulled it out and it was none other than her customized Women's Championship belt. The center was with rubies with the WWE logo on it, the edge of the circle was 14 karat gold and it had "WOMEN'S CHAMP" in diamonds, and the sides of the belt had emblems of a star and a pair of lips. Nicole liked the belt so much, she couldn't wait to show it off. John and Nicole walked hand and hand down the ramp and got into the ring. Nicole raised her title belt in the air as John grabbed on the microphone and stood next to Nicole.
"Now, it's like I said before, 'It's about taking care of those that take care of you,'" John said. "And since Eric Bischoff wants ruin our time in the spotlight, I think it's time for Nicole to say her very nice victory speech."
John gives the microphone to Nicole.
"You know, when I first came into the WWE, I was known as the First Lady of Evolution. One particular Diva called me a slut in ridiculous clothing. Everything I've done during that time wasn't me. Everything I've done made me so weak, it didn't get me to become the Women's Champion. But all that was gone, and thanks to John, for everything he's done for me, for having the Chain Gang to believe in me, who knew that this time, I had potential, I am finally the Women's Champion. So I just wanna say thank you for everyone who stood by me, who knew that this time, I was going to accomplish something I've been dreaming about since I was a little girl, since I started wrestling, and that was this. Thank you, everyone."
The crowd cheered and Nicole gave the microphone back to John.
"Now, then, my haircut's too cheap, gas is too expensive, and last week I get attacked by a blue and white Tasmanian devil. I saw nothing but arms and teeth and that's the bad news. The good news? I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance! And the great news? After last week, the champ is still here! Kurt Angle is now the number one contender for my WWE Championship. I have never backed down from a fight in my life and I'll be damned if I start tonight. Kurt Angle, you want some, come get some."
Kurt Angle's entrance theme plays and he comes out from the curtain with a microphone in his hand.
"You know, I must have damaged your brain last week," Kurt said. "You're calling me out? I really don't want none of you. If you think you will get in the ring with me right now, you're dumber than you look. There is no chance in hell of you risking your championship match. I was inducted in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, and won an Olympic gold medal with a broken freakin' neck. I have more ability in my little finger than you have in your whole body. I'm at the top of my game. I made Shawn Michaels tap at Wrestlemania, I made Eugene tap at Summerslam, and I made Shelton Benjamin tap last week on RAW. The reason I'm on a roll is because I'm more vicious than I've have ever been in my life and I want that WWE Title more than I ever have and I don't give a damn about anyone or anything."
"Look, Kurt...," John said.
"Hey, shut up!" Kurt said. "At Unforgiven, I will make you tap out as well."
"You said you won a gold medal? I didn't know that. I don't think I have much of a chance in this one, I think I am a bit over my head, but I'm still calling your ass out!"
John dropped the microphone and took off his new "Chain Gang" baseball jersey and hat and threw them in the crowd. Then Kurt slowly made his way towards the ring, but then stopped and walked down the ramp. Kurt then went down to ringside again, but again stopped before getting in the ring and John and Nicole laughed. Kurt started to walk away as John picked up the microphone.
"Kurt, I'm sorry. I totally forgot. Hey, stop. Last week, I know that you like to hit guys from behind. Hey, shame on you. Shame, shame. No one is judging you. But I tell you what. I'm just gonna do this." John then turned around with his back to Kurt. "You know, put the vibe out there. You can, you can do whatever you want, no one is watching us. What do you think?"
Then Kurt ran down the ramp, got into the ring, and took John down from behind and locked in the Ankle Lock in the middle of the ring. But John kicked him off right through the ropes. Kurt went to get back inside, but some referees held him back as John got fired up in the ring. Nicole was still laughing as John was still fired up and Kurt was walking to the back. Then when Kurt was gone, John and Nicole left the ring and went to the back. Nicole was laughing.
"What's so funny?" John said.
"You know, even though you got hit from behind last week," Nicole said. "at least you found a way to punk Kurt out."
"Hey, Kurt Angle may be vicious, but I can still take him down."
"No doubt. So, are you excited for my Schoolgirl match tonight?"
"I am so excited. Maybe after RAW tonight, I can play the teacher and you can be my student."
"A student in thuganomics?"
"You betcha."
Nicole smiled and laughed.
A little later, it was time for the Schoolgirl match between Nicole and Candice Michelle. Candice's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.
"The following is a Schoolgirl match is scheduled for one fall," Lillian Garcia announced. "Introducing first from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Candice Michelle."
Candice was a wearing a white collared shirt with the bottom tied up and showing her black bra, a navy blue plaid miniskirt, white knee socks, and her hair was in pigtails. Candice walked down to the ramp and she jumped on the apron. She then crawled in the ring and stood waiting for Nicole to come out. Nicole's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.
"And her opponent from St. Louis, Missouri, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Nicole Mitchell," Lillian announced.
Nicole was wearing a white collared dress shirt with the bottom tied up, a mini red plaid halter dress, white stockings with red bows, and her hair was in pigtails with red bows. She also had the customized Women's Championship belt over her left shoulder. She walked down to the ramp and got into the ring. Nicole got on two of the turnbuckles raising her arms in the air and showing the crowd her cleavage. Then she got back down and stared at Candice. Then the referee called for the bell.
Nicole and Candice locked up and Nicole knees Candice in the gut before Nicole landed Candice with a clothesline. Nicole picks Candice up and hits a baseball slide to the back.
Nicole picks Candice up and Candice gets a thumb to Nicole's eye before Candice clotheslines Nicole for two count. Candice then slammed Nicole's face onto the mat before she picks Nicole up to take her to the corner. But Nicole reverses Candice to the corner and lands the leg lock to Candice's neck. Then Nicole gave Candice a suplex for a two count. Nicole tried an elbow drop but Candice moves out of the way. Candice kicks Nicole in the gut and Candice lands a knee drop to the gut. Candice slapped Nicole and chokes away at her.
Candice picks Nicole up but Nicole fought back with hard right hands and kicks Candice in the gut before landing another clothesline. Then Nicole did the "You Can't See Me" and did the Five-Knuckle Shuffle. Nicole then sets up for the NDM and when Candice stood up, Nicole hit the NDM on Candice for the three count.
"Here is your winner, Nicole Mitchell," Lillian announced.
The referee gives Nicole her title belt and raises her left arm in the air. Then Nicole looks down at Candice, gets in her face and said, "You need to learn your place and shut your mouth." She then leaves the ring and walks up the ramp. Before she goes to the back, Nicole raises her title belt in the air, turns around, and flashes her butt to the crowd. She blows a kiss to the fans and goes to the back. This was indeed a night of punking out new enemies.
