Chris Rose: Welcome back to the show. Our next guest is someone we had on the show three weeks ago. She is one of the WWE Divas from RAW and she's currently dating reigning WWE Champion John Cena. At Summerslam, just a week ago, she defeated Delancey Scott in a classic match to become the new Women's Champion. Please welcome, Nicole Mitchell.
Nicole comes out wearing a white turtleneck top, denim jeans, and her hair straight. She also had the customized Women's Championship belt over her left shoulder. Rob Dibble, Rodney Peete, John Salley, and Chris Rose greeted her with a hug and a kiss. As everyone sat down, the audience was still applauding.
John Salley: Hey, Nicole, can I see your title belt?
Nicole: Yeah, sure. Go ahead.
Nicole gives her title belt to John.
Chris Rose: Wow. That's nice.
Nicole: It is.
Rodney Peete: John Cena actually customized that belt for you, did he?
Nicole: He did. I was so amazed by how the belt looked, I couldn't wait to show it off.
Rob Dibble: You are showing it off now.
Chris Rose: Well, speaking of the title, congratulations, Nicole. Finally, you're the Women's Champion and this was actually your fifth attempt for the title at Summerslam, am I correct?
Nicole: Yes. During my first year in the WWE, I was in these group battles like an elimination match, two battle royals, and a fatal four-way match. So far, no luck. The match at Summerslam, it was my first singles competition and with all of John's training, look what happened.
The audience applauded.
Rob Dibble: We actually have a clip of you winning the Women's Championship at Summerslam, so here it is.
Then they showed the clip and the audience applauded.
Rob Dibble: Wow. Look at that.
Rodney Peete: I gotta tell you, Nicole, that must've been an exciting and fulfilling moment for you.
Nicole: It was. I mean, the moment I pinned Delancey Scott 1-2-3, in the back of my mind, I was like, "Oh, my god. No way. I'm the new Women's Champion." I was completely shell shocked and I was also crying and it was definitely a moment I would never forget.
The audience applauded.
John Salley: Well, I have to tell you, you've finally made it and I know that it wouldn't meant nothing without your fans and of course, John Cena.
Nicole: Yes. The week before Summerslam, John has been training me for the Women's Championship match and his training was very well paid off and of course, if it wasn't for the love and support of the Chain Gang, in which John calls his fans, I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't have this title.
The audience applauded.
Rodney Peete: Now, Nicole, you've been with John Cena for almost five months.
Nicole: Yes.
Rodney Peete: So, what's he like as a person?
Nicole: He's really a down-to-earth sweet guy. He cares about the fans, he loves being in the WWE just like I love being in the WWE, he never says no to anything, and he's a fighter with everything he's got and I adore that.
John Salley: That's thuganomics love right there.
Everyone laughed.
Rob Dibble: And before you started dating John, you were going out with Randy Orton, am I correct?
Nicole: Yeah. Randy and I were going out for seven months before we got engaged at Survivor Series back in November of last year. We were supposed to get married in May because we had New Year's Revolution, the Royal Rumble, and Wrestlemania coming up.
Chris Rose: So, how did you two break up? What exactly happened?
Nicole: Well, Randy challenged the Undertaker to a Legend versus Legend Killer match at Wrestlemania. Two weeks before that event, he brought out Stacy Keibler as an "example" for his promo. He said that he had a message for everyone who doesn't think he can the beat the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. I mean, the Undertaker had an impressive 12-0 winning streak at Wrestlemania which made him a legend. And then, Randy did the stupidest thing I never thought he would do. In the middle of the ring, he delivered the RKO to Stacy Keibler. Before that, we were backstage and Randy asked her, "Do you think I can beat the Undertaker at Wrestlemania?" I don't think she hesitated. She was just plain concerned. So after that happened, I was shocked and clearly upset. I took off the engagement ring, threw it in Randy's face, and I left. It was over.
John Salley: And that's when John Cena came into the picture.
Nicole: Yeah. I was in my hotel room laying on my bed crying thinking about what Randy did and my cell phone rang. I didn't want to answer it because I figured it would be Randy calling to apologize. But, much to my surprise, it was John that was calling me. He wanted to see if I was okay and he and I kept talking to each other until Wrestlemania and that's when I fell in love with him. And hey, you guys saw what happened at Wrestlemania.
Chris Rose: Well, Nicole, I can honestly say that we're happy that you're happy and that John has helped you get back on your feet. We're gonna take a break and when we come back, we'll talk more with the WWE Women's Champion Nicole Mitchell. Don't go away.
The audience applauded.
Coming up, Nicole Mitchell the singer? The boys of Best Damn will talk with the Princess of Thuganomics about her upcoming music career.

Chris Rose: Alright, we're back on the Best Damn Sports Show Period. We have our guest here, WWE Women's Champion Nicole Mitchell, and we're about to discuss Nicole's next career move which I think it's amazing for you. You're recording an album, am I correct?
Nicole: Yes, I am. I'm almost done with it. I'm going back to the studio in either September or October to put the finishing touches on it so it can be ready for a release in February.
Chris Rose: That's great.
The audience applauded.
Rodney Peete: How many tracks you got on the album and what does it sound like?
Nicole: I have sixteen tracks on the album including three which are duets with John, his cousin Trademarc, and my fellow Missourian Delancey Scott; and my album is mostly pop with some mixture of R&B, hip-hop, and a little rock. I'm from St. Louis originally and it's a real diverse city where you listen to almost everything.
Rob Dibble: Do you actually have a name for the album and what kind of songs does your album consists of?
Nicole: My album is entitled "The Beauty of St. Louis" and the reason I chose that title is because there's more to life in St. Louis than what you hear on the news and I grew up in a diverse neighborhood and that was the "beauty" of it because of the diversity in St. Louis. And my album consists of songs that are actually talking about what I've been through, who I really am, the positive messages inside, and of course, there's love songs. I would call this album my "real personal diary" because I felt like it was time to let my feelings out.
John Salley: That's good. And when can we expect this album to be out?
Nicole: The album will be out in February 2006. The rest of the year is so busy, I thought February would be the perfect month for it.
John Salley: Now, how did this singing career come about?
Nicole: Well, I stared singing at the age of two and I considered that as a hobby than a career. I would always sing in my room for practice and I would do that with my sister Amy in front of my friends at school and when my family have get-togethers back in St. Louis. It was always so much fun.
Rodney Peete: Did John know about this?
Nicole: Well, this is how John discovered my hidden talent. He and I were in Trenton, New Jersey for Smackdown and I was in our hotel room blow drying my hair in the bathroom singing "Miss Independent" by Kelly Clarkson. John comes in the room from the gym because he left his cell phone and he hears me singing in the bathroom. When I came out, he was at the doorway and I felt embarrassed and a little humiliated. But John was so impressed with my singing, he offered me to come to Boston, Massachusetts to record a demo and about a few days later, I was signed to Columbia Records.
The audience applauded.
Chris Rose: Did you feel that you weren't ready for this when John offered you this opportunity?
Nicole: I did at the time but John kept convincing me that had a chance to make it big in the music scene like he is right now and he believed in me and I felt that I was ready. It was like my voice was ready come out, so here I am.
Rob Dibble: Now, I spoke with John backstage and he told me that you were the opening act for him and his cousin Trademarc on the summer tour.
Nicole: Yes. Our last show is in September and I gotta tell you, the tour was a learning experience for me and it was so awesome. It was something I would call my "summer vacation." The first show, I was nervous and a little scared. But John, being the motivator that he's always is, told me not to worry, and I gotta tell you, when I stepped onto that stage, I wasn't scared and nervous anymore and the crowd was unbelievable.
John Salley: Where was this first show?
Nicole: Philadelphia.
John Salley: And where is the last show?
Nicole: Boston, Massachusetts. I'm so excited to go there because it's my boyfriend's hometown and I can't wait.
John Salley: Now, Nicole, can you sing something for us?
Nicole: You want me to sing something for you?
John Salley: Yeah.
Nicole: Okay, I can do that. Actually, I don't wanna sing something from my upcoming album, but I will sing something from one of my idols, Mariah Carey.
I don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry
Nothing in the world
Could take us back
To where we used to be
Though I've give you my heart and soul
I must find a way of letting go
'Cause baby
I don't wanna cry
The audience cheered and applauded.
Chris Rose: That was beautiful. Very beautiful.
Nicole: Thank you.
Chris Rose: You're welcome. Look out for her on RAW every Monday night at 9:00 on Spike TV. Nicole Mitchell, ladies and gentlemen.
The audience applauded.
