Chapter 54: New Year's Resolution: Victory
It was now January 2006 and RAW was in East Rutherford, New Jersey. John was facing Kurt Angle in a first blood match.
John and Nicole had just arrived at the arena and they were walking down the hallway looking for Shelton and Delancey. Then they spotted them walking in the hallway.
"Hey, you guys," Nicole said.
"Hey," Shelton and Delancey said as they hugged and slapped hands with each other.
"So tonight, you're starting your storyline with this actress playing your momma, right?"
"Yeah," Shelton said. "Delancey and I met her and she's bad."
"A badass," Delancey said. "And throughout this storyline, when things between Shelton and his 'momma' get interesting, like trying to win the Intercontinental Championship with her help, I say to Shelton, 'I need some space' or something like that and join you and John for a while."
"Well, we all know that Shelton is definitely not a mama's boy," John said.
"Nope. Not my fiancé. What you got there, Nicole?"
"My laptop computer," Nicole said. "It just so happens that has posted our Babe of the Year photos."
"Oooh. I gotta see them," Shelton said.
"Well, let's go," John said.
Shelton and Delancey followed John and Nicole to the catering room. When they reached there, Nicole sat on a chair, sat her laptop computer on the table, and turned it on. Then Nicole went on the internet and went to the WWE website where they showed a slideshow on the homepage until it stopped on a picture of Nicole and Delancey leading to the Babe of the Year page.
"Bingo," Nicole said, "there it is."
"Nice, very nice," Shelton said.
"Oh, yeah. Really nice," John said.
"Thanks," Delancey said.
As everyone looked at the photos in amazement, Nicole then went to a page where there was an article about Nicole and Delancey being the Babe of the Year.
"Here's our article," Nicole said. "'For the first time ever in Babe of the Year history, two Divas have earned the right to be called the WWE Babe of the Year, or should we say Babes of the Year. They happen to be reigning Women's Champion Nicole Mitchell and Delancey Scott from RAW. After an unanimous 89 percent of the fans' votes in the finals of the Babe of the Year tournament held in December, the WWE decided to shake things up and give the girls the crown and even Nicole and Delancey were in shock. 'To be honest, I'm surprised. I didn't think two girls would be Babe of the Year,' Nicole said after learning she along with Delancey won the competition.'"
"Ooh, let me read my quote," Delancey said. "'I'm really excited because 2005 was my big year and I think 2006 will be an even better year.'"
"'I could say the same thing," Nicole said. "'Now, it's my turn and I couldn't be more excited, especially with sharing the crown with my best friend!' After Stacy Keibler became the 2005 Babe of the Year, the WWE had a year-long celebration featuring hundreds of photos and more than one dozen outfits. The girls wanted to do the same for this year."
"'I thought that was cool the way Stacy did her thing when she was Babe of the Year and Nicole and I decided to do it as well, with Stacy's permission, of course,' Delancey said of her Babe of the Year section on "Having two girls as Babe of the Year is way cooler than just having one."
"Well, it's true," Shelton said. "Having two girls as Babe of the Year is way cooler than just having one."
"Yeah, it's true," John said.
"Well, are you ready for next month?" Nicole said.
"Because next month, the theme is Valentine's Day," Delancey said, "and this photo shoot will be hot because Nicole and I will be in lingerie and..."
"Vince wants you two to be in the photo shoot."
"Are you serious?" John said.
"You mean, John and I are gonna be in the photo shoot with you girls?" Shelton said and the girls nodded yes. "Well, it looks like we're in."
"Hell yeah."
John and Shelton high fived each other as Nicole and Delancey smiled at the two.
Later, RAW was on and Nicole, Delancey, and Ashley were in the Women's Locker Room watching Kiss Cam on Unlimited hosted by Maria on Nicole's laptop computer. The fans had to kiss if they saw themselves on camera.
"Hey, you know what would be interesting?" Delancey said.
"What?" Ashley said.
"If Joey Styles and the Coach kiss each other on Kiss Cam."
Then the girls started cracking up.
"That would very interesting," Nicole said laughing.
"Hey, the Coach would be embarassed to show his face around here for a few weeks," Ashley said.
After Kiss Cam was over, Victoria's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with Candice, Torrie, and Chloe.
"Uh-oh. Here comes trouble," Ashley said.
"Well, if it isn't the bitch posse," Nicole said.
"I swear if there's one little scratch on Maria, their asses are mine," Delancey said. "I'm not kidding."
Victoria, Candice, Torrie, and Chloe walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Then they surrounded Maria.
"Did you want to be on Kiss Cam?" Maria asked and Victoria snatched the microphone.
"Did you have a nice New Years, Maria?" Victoria said. "Because I didn't. I was home recovering from what Carlito did to me last week. By the way, where were you? Were you too busy with the Kiss Cam or are you too stupid? I bet you didn't even know that we have a match scheduled tonight."
Torrie and Candice then nailed Maria as a referee got into the ring and called for the bell.
Victoria choked Maria in the corner and then gave her a snap mare. Victoria locked in a modified surfboard and then kicked away at Maria. Victoria choked Maria over the bottom rope and then Torrie put Chloe's ass in Maria's face and slapped her. Victoria distracted the referee as Candice choked Maria, but then Maria knocked her off the apron, but Victoria took Maria down from behind. Victoria missed a splash in the corner and Maria rolled her up for the win.
Maria celebrated her win and then Torrie and Candice held Maria as Victoria ripped off her top and took off her skirt. The three of them then stomped away at Maria and spanked her as Nicole, Delancey, and Ashley hit the ring and Ashley hit with a double clothesline on Torrie and Candice and Nicole and Delancey did the same thing to Victoria. Nicole took off her denim jacket revealing her black bra as Ashley took care of Victoria and Nicole and Delancey stomped on Torrie and Candice. Nicole and Delancey threw Torrie and Candice out of the ring and Ashley then shoved Victoria onto Nicole and Delancey and they hit double DDT on Victoria. Victoria left the ring and joined Candice and Torrie and made their way to the back while Nicole, Delancey, and Ashley checked on Maria.
They helped Maria up and the four left the ring and walked up the ramp to the back when WWE Chairman Vince McMahon came out from the curtain.
"What happened here?" Vince asked. "Maria, are you all right? Well, you're only in your bra and panties. Quite frankly, you ladies have given me an idea. You see, what I like to see at New Years Revolution is all of you ladies that were in the ring just a minute ago, except Nicole Mitchell who's got a Women's Championship match against Mickie James, is the first-ever Bra and Panties Gauntlet Match. You'll be eliminated one-by-one until there's one winner who strips their opponent to their bra and panties. Okay? Alright, why don't we try that?"
Then the girls went to the back.
"Well, a first ever bra and panties match gauntlet match," Delancey said. "That oughta be fun."
"Yeah," Nicole said. "I mean, this will be more interesting than just a regular bra and panties match."
"Yeah," Ashley said. "Are you okay, Maria?"
"Yeah, I'm okay," Maria said.
"I gotta tell you, Maria," Delancey said, "you sure had some guts facing Victoria and winning the match."
"Well, I'm not a wrestler and I don't like to be treated as a punching bag."
"Well, Maria, you should learn to stand up for yourself and not let the others take advantage of you," Nicole said. "And if you need help, I'll help you train. John will help you as well."
"Okay."
A little later, Nicole was going to be in an interview with Todd Grisham.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am here with the WWE Women's Champion Nicole Mitchell," Todd Grisham said as Nicole came forward.
She was wearing her denim jacket (with a bra underneath), denim jeans, and her hair up in a bun with a few strands hanging at the front.
"Nicole, you are facing Mickie James at New Years Revolution this Sunday for the Women's Championship," Todd said, "and through the night, Mickie James got Trish Stratus' attention after that kiss last week. What is your strategy when you face Mickie James this Sunday?"
"Well, Todd, like Trish was saying," Nicole said, "she felt uncomfortable, and in my opinion, I think Mickie is playing mind games. You see, facing Mickie James is kind of a challenge for me but at the same time, I know what I have to do to stay the Women's Champion. If Mickie ever thought about kissing me, I would immediately go crazy because I'm not down with that, especially with what happen with the shower and everything. But Todd, the truth is, Mickie James should watch out for the Princess of Thuganomics and I will be careful because Mickie really needs to focus on her match instead of impressing Trish Stratus."
Then Nicole walked away.
A little later, it was time for the first blood match between John and Kurt Angle. This was the first one in five years. John's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Nicole following him. John and Nicole walked down the ramp got into the ring and asked Lillian Garcia for the microphone.
"It's 06, the truth is back still standing tall," John said. "The Elimination Chamber's coming up so now I'm calling out chumps. Master Lock, I've got your key, you ain't no threat to me. Chris Masters can't even spell WWE. He's got a body that the people say 'Oh, my god,' but his Masterpiece is smaller than the Nano iPod. Carlito, your nappy roots look like a thousand brillos. On TV, you bite apples and at home, you bite pillows. Kurt Angle can't even find his nut sack. I ride for the soldiers. We found Saddam in one hole, I'll shove Daivari up yours!"
Then Kurt's entrance theme interrupted John and then he came out from the curtain with Daivari following him. They walked down the ramp and got into the ring. John took his "Chain Gang" baseball cap and football jersey off and threw it to the crowd. Nicole and Daivari left the ring as the referee called for the bell.
John and Kurt lock up and John is in control, He shoves Kurt to the corner but misses a splash in the corner. Kurt then hits the trifecta of German suplexes. Daivari took off the turnbuckle pad and Kurt hammered away at John and went to send him head first into the exposed buckle but John blocked. John fought back but then Daivari tripped him from the outside. John knocked him down and then he back dropped Kurt over the top to the outside.
Back in the ring and Kurt distracted the referee as Daivari nailed John, and then hit him in the head with the Gold Medal. Nicole went after Daivari as Kurt sent John head first to the apron. John came back with right hands but then Kurt nailed a release over head belly to belly. Kurt hit more right hands to the head of John and then sent John head first into the exposed buckle. John isn't bleeding as Kurt took down his straps. Kurt nailed the Angle Slam and then went to the outside.
Kurt grabbed a steel chair but missed and John rallied with right hands. John hit a running shoulder block and then grabbed the chair but Daivari came in and jumped on John's back. John snapmared him down and then Kurt nailed John from behind. John then went for the FU out of nowhere but Kurt flipped out and locked in the Ankle Lock. John screamed in pain but then flipped Kurt off into the referee. John limped over to the chair and Kurt begged off.
Daivari came in and grabbed John but John leveled him and then Kurt grabbed the chair and hit John right in the head! Kurt hammered away with right hands and yelled at the referee to check on him. John is busted wide open but the referee is still down. Kurt hit some Crossface blows and John is a bloody mess. Kurt then went for the FU on Kurt but John reversed and locked in the STFU! Kurt tapped as Daivari revived the referee and he called for the bell.
Daivari tried to pull John off of Kurt and then John nailed Daivari with a right hand. Carlito and Chris Masters then got into the ring and John fought them off but they were too much for him. Chris, Carlito and Daivari stomped away at John and then Kurt locked in the Ankle Lock. John screamed in pain and then Chris locked in the Master Lock on Kurt! Carlito stomped away at Daivari in the corner and Kane enters the ring and grabbed Masters by the throat and gave him a chokeslam. Carlito got one too. Kane gave Kurt a big boot and then Daivari received a chokeslam. Shawn Michaels hit the ring and hit Sweet Chin Music on Kane. John struggled to his feet and then exploded out of nowhere with the FU on Shawn and everyone is down.
Nicole got into the ring with a towel as John's face was dripping with blood. Nicole was indeed sensitive when it came to blood dripping down John's face. She wiped the blood off of John and cradled him in the ring. This was bound to be a nasty fight in the Elimination Chamber at New Years Revolution.
