Chapter 37: RAW Homecoming
It was now October and RAW was in Dallas, Texas for their homecoming on the USA Network. John was defending the WWE Championship against Eric Bischoff and Nicole was the special guest referee for the 3-on-2 Handicap Bra and Panties match between Trish and Ashley versus Torrie Wilson, Candice Michelle, and Victoria. The night was also the night of John and Nicole's six-month anniversary.
John and Nicole had just arrived at the arena and they walked in the locker room. They put their stuff down and John started searching through his bag for something.
"So you wanna go to the catering room and get something to eat?" Nicole asked.
"Yeah, but I wanna give you something first," John said as he turned to Nicole with something behind his back.
"What's that you're hiding?"
"Just a little something I've been meaning to give you for our six-month anniversary. But you have to close your eyes and turn around."
"Okay."
Nicole turned around and closed her eyes. John smiled as he brought the hidden item out from behind his back. It was a jewelry box and John opened it to reveal a necklace. John pulled the necklace out of the box and put the box down. Then he unhooked the hook of the necklace and put it on around Nicole's neck. He then hooked the hook back together.
"Open your eyes," John said.
Nicole opened her eyes, she looked down, and gasped.
"Oh my god, John," Nicole said as she turned back around to him. "It's so beautiful."
The necklace was a personalized 14 karat nameplate with 10 diamonds in the first letter that said "Nicole."
"You like it?" John asked.
"I love it. It's my name," Nicole said looking at the necklace and looking back at John. "John, I love you."
"I love you, too."
John and Nicole then kissed passionately. John wrapped his arms around Nicole's waist pulling her as close to him as he could and Nicole wrapped her arms around his neck. The two kissed for a couple minutes and then pulled apart.
"Come on, let's go," Nicole said as she and John left the locker room.
John and Nicole were walking to the catering room and when they got there, they saw Dave and Rochelle talking, smiling, and laughing with each other. Dave was gonna be in a special Smackdown six-man tag-team match during RAW Homecoming. Rochelle was sitting on Dave's lap and Dave growled in her ear which made Rochelle playfully hit his chest.
"Well, well, well," Nicole said. "Look who's finally here."
"It's Dave Batista and Rochelle Kennedy," John said. "Smackdown's newest and hottest couple."
"Let's go talk to them."
"Let's."
John and Nicole walked over to where Dave and Rochelle was sitting.
"Hey, you guys," Nicole said.
"Hey," Rochelle said getting off of Dave's lap and hugging Nicole. "How are you?"
"I'm good."
"Hey, John."
"Hey, Rochelle," John said hugging Rochelle. "How are you?"
"I'm good. I'm doing great."
"Hey, Dave," Nicole said.
"Hey, Nicole," Dave said hugging Nicole and pulling away. "What's up, John?"
"Hey, Big Dave," John said slapping Dave's hand and hugging him.
"Rochelle was telling me that tonight is your six-month anniversary."
"Yes, it is," Nicole said wrapping her arm around John's neck and putting her head on his shoulder.
"I betcha you can't wait until after RAW Homecoming tonight," Rochelle said.
"Nope. How are you two?"
"We're doing great. Just great."
The night Smackdown had a show in Little Rock, Arkansas, Dave and Rochelle went out on their second date. After that, they had sex in Rochelle's hotel room and made it official as a couple. Dave and Rochelle have been together for three weeks now.
"Dave Batista and Rochelle Kennedy?" Delancey said walking in the catering room with Shelton.
"Hey, Sugar D," Rochelle said walking over to Delancey and hugging her. "Hey, Shelton."
"What's up, Rochelle?" Shelton said hugging Rochelle and pulling away.
"So what's up with two?"
"Nothing," Delancey said. "We're just hanging in there. How are you two?"
"We're doing just great."
"Hey, Dave."
"Hey, Delancey," Dave said hugging Delancey and pulling away. "What's up, Shelton?"
"What's up, Dave?" Shelton said slapping Dave's hand and hugging him.
Then Vince McMahon came over.
"Ah, there you are, Nicole," Vince said. "Hello, everyone."
"Hello," everyone else said.
"Nicole, the reason that I wanted to talk to you is because...maybe I shouldn't say it with everyone else here."
"What is it? Is it bad?" Nicole asked.
"No, this is very good. Playboy magazine called me and just like me, they were so impressed with your skyrocketing career here in the WWE and they want you to do a photo shoot for the November issue. Would you like that?"
Nicole had to think for a minute. She turned her head to John and he had a smile on his face. John nodded his head and mouthed the words, "Do it." Nicole then turned her head back to Vince.
"Okay, I'll do it," Nicole said.
"Great," Vince said. "I'm gonna give them a call and I'll fill you in on the details."
"Okay."
"Have a great night, everyone."
"Okay," everyone else said.
Then Vince left and everyone cheered.
"Nicole, it's about time you posed for Playboy," John said.
"Yeah, because I know whatever you do will be just as hot as my August 2005 cover of Playboy," Delancey said.
"Oh, my god. I can't believe I'm doing this," Nicole said covering her face. "Now I'm nervous."
"Hey, hey. Don't worry," Rochelle said. "I know it's gonna be awesome for you because that's probably something you've been wanting to do for a long time."
"Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't be nervous."
Later, RAW Homecoming was on and it seemed to be an event that everyone enjoyed. Randy Orton and his dad "Cowboy" Bob Orton interrupted Piper's Pit and Randy gave the RKO to both "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Mick Foley, the 30-minute iron man match between Kurt Angle versus Shawn Michaels came to a draw, Stone Cold Steve Austin gave the entire McMahon family the Stone Cold Stunner, Edge won the Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match that got Matt Hardy leaving RAW, Triple H turned his back and was beating on Ric Flair after the two won a tag-team match against Carlito and Chris Masters, and Rob Conway was getting beaten up by a bunch of WWE Legends.
It was time for the 3-on-2 Handicap Bra and Panties match between Trish and Ashley versus Torrie Wilson, Candice Michelle, and Victoria. Delancey's new entrance theme, "The Itch" by Vitamin C, played and she came out from the curtain. She was the special guest ring announcer for the match.
"Please welcome the special guest ring announcer for the next match, Delancey Scott," Lillian Garcia announced.
Delancey was wearing a black bikini halter top split down the center with sheer at the bottom and a gold chain dangling across the split, orange leather pants, and black high heeled boots. Delancey walked down the ramp slapping hands of the fans and she got in the ring. Delancey waved to the fans and asked for a microphone.
"What's up, Dallas, Texas?" Delancey said as the fans cheered. "Are you having a good time so far? Well, I'm having a good time despite my ex-boyfriend Randy Orton interrupting Piper's Pit and my supposedly red-headed bitch friend screwing Matt Hardy out of a shot at the WWE Championship. Hey, Matt Hardy might return for another shot. You never know. But let's keep the show going. You know, I would always watch RAW on the USA Network before it moved to Spike TV. But now, RAW is back and it's going to be bigger than ever. Are you ready for the next match? First, let me introduce to you the special guest referee for the 3-on-2 Handicap Bra and Panties match, being accompanied to the ring by the WWE Champion John Cena, please welcome the WWE Women's Champion, Nicole Mitchell."
Nicole's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with John following her. John had to protect and keep an eye out on Nicole just in case Randy would try to sneak up on her. Nicole was wearing a referee uniform which the shirt was tied at the bottom, black shorts, black boots, and her hair curled. Nicole and John walked down to the ramp and John got in the ring first. He opened the ropes and Nicole got into the ring. Nicole waved, blew a kiss to the fans, and gave a high five to Delancey. John then got out of the ring after he knew that Nicole was okay being in the ring by herself with Delancey. John sat next to Lillian. Torrie's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain carrying her little dog, Chloe, and with Victoria and Candice following her.
"The following is a Bra and Panties match," Delancey announced, "and the rules are the first team to strip the opposing team to their bra and panties win. Introducing first, the team of Candice Michelle, Victoria, and Torrie Wilson."
The three and Chloe walked down the ramp and Torrie and Victoria got into the ring first. Candice jumped up on the apron and got inside the ring. The three were staring at Nicole and Delancey and Trish's entrance theme played.
"And their opponents, the team of the 2005 RAW Diva Search winner, Ashley and Trish Stratus," Delancey announced as she got out of the ring.
Trish and Ashley walked down the ramp and they tried to get in the ring before Trish was being knocked down by Victoria. Nicole called for the bell as Torrie and Candice get on Ashley and Victoria takes off Ashley's shirt but Ashley fights back and is able to get Victoria's shirt off. Victoria chases Ashley out of the ring but Trish clotheslines Victoria outside the ring. Trish and Ashley get back in the ring and they work on Torrie and Candice and work off the shirts of them. It turns into a big free for all until Trish tries her Stratusphere on Victoria but Victoria holds her up and starts to take off her pants. Trish eventually hits the move and then rolls up Victoria and takes off her pants and she has nothing left. Ashley works over Candice and gets her skirt off. Torrie punches Trish in the corner but Ashley helps her and they ring her up on the ropes and then they pull her pants off for the win.
"Here are your winners, Ashley and Trish Stratus," Delancey announced.
Torrie was throwing a temper tantrum with Nicole, Ashley, and Nicole laughing and making fun of her. Delancey got into the ring and Torrie got out of the ring. Torrie grabbed her dog, Chloe and ran to Victoria and Candice who tried to cover themselves up. Trish and Ashley celebrated their victory in the ring as Nicole signaled John to come to the ring. John got in the ring and stood in the corner. Nicole wanted Trish, Ashley, and Delancey to leave the ring so they can see Nicole giving her usual motivation to John.
Nicole went to the middle of the ring and started to untie and unbutton her referee top. She looked at John and Nicole slowly took it off revealing her pink lace bra. Nicole threw it at John and he caught it with a big smile on his face. Then Nicole slowly took off her black shorts revealing her pink panties, threw them at John and he caught them. Nicole walked all around the ring and waved and blew a kiss to the fans. She then went to John and they walked hand in hand out of the ring joining Trish, Ashley, and Delancey. The five were walking up the ramp in a group hug and they went to the back as RAW went to a commercial break.
Then it was time for the WWE Championship match between John and Eric Bischoff. Eric switched it to a No Disqualification match after Vince McMahon left. Eric's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Kurt Angle following him. The two walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Then John's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Nicole following him. Nicole was wearing a pink bikini halter top with sheer at the bottom and sequined designs, denim capris, and pink boots. John and Nicole walked down the ramp and they both got into the ring. 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 takes off his "Chain Gang" baseball cap, baseball jersey, and his new "Chain Gang" hoodie and threw them to the audience. Nicole and Kurt leave the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Kurt grabbed a chair and was sitting at ringside in the aisle. Eric is in his karate get up and starts prancing around the ring. Eric went for a kick but John caught the leg and then nailed him with a right hand to knock Eric down. John then nailed him with another right hand. Kurt grabbed John's ankle allowing Eric to get some kicks in on John sending him down to the canvas.
John comes back with a slam and then nails the Five Knuckle Shuffle. Kurt then came in and went for the Angle Slam but John fell out the back and went for the FU but Eric nailed a low blow and covered for a two count. Kurt grabbed a chair and went to nail John but John moved and the chair bounced back off the ropes and Kurt nailed himself. Eric went for the chair but John stood on it and then picked Eric up for the FU and then covered for the win.
Kurt and John started trading blows in the middle of the ring and then Smackdown General Manager Theodore Long's entrance theme played. He came out from the curtain with a microphone and said,
"Now I hate to be a negative influence, but Bischoff stuck his nose into Smackdown's business. You embarrassed us and made us look like fools. I have some Smackdown superstars ready to get their shine on."
A bunch of Smackdown superstars came out from the curtain, went into the ring and attacked John and Kurt including Ken Kennedy, JBL, Batista, Chris Benoit, Christian, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio and more. Batista went for a Batista Bomb on Bischoff but the RAW locker room emptied with the likes of Shawn Michaels, Carlito, Chris Masters, Shelton Benjamin, the Big Show and others and we have a rumble going on the ring. The rumble went on for several until all the Smackdown superstars were thrown out of the ring. The RAW superstars were in the ring standing tall and RAW Homecoming was indeed a homecoming to remember.
