Chapter 59: What's the Deal?
RAW and Smackdown was in Orlando, Florida for a supershow and Nicole and Delancey were walking to the catering room to see Trish, Ashley, and Maria looking at the something on the table.
"Hey, ladies," Nicole said.
"Oh, hi, girls," Trish said as she, Ashley, and Maria turned around.
"What were you looking at?" Delancey said.
"Oh, nothing," Ashley said.
"Just your Babe of the Year photos," Maria said.
"Oooh, let's see them," Nicole said.
Then Nicole and Delancey walked over to the table where the photos were. They were laid out from the individuals to the photos with Nicole and Delancey with John and Shelton.
"Oh, my god. I like this one," Nicole said pointing to a picture of her wearing a red open front Brazilian lace and mesh teddy and John was in red silk boxers and was wrapping his arms around Nicole.
"That is hot," Trish said.
"I like this one," Delancey said pointing to a picture of her laying on her stomach on the bed wearing a pink Brazilian lace and mesh babydoll and Shelton was in black silk boxers and was on top of Delancey.
"Oh, yeah. That picture is hot as well," Ashley said.
"I happen to like these two," Maria said.
She was looking at Nicole in the "Never Back Down, Never Quit" t-shirt and Delancey in the Shelton Benjamin t-shirt.
"I gotta tell you girls," Trish said, "you went all out for this shoot."
"Thank you," Nicole said.
"Hey, it was worth it especially when you have your fiancé and boyfriend to pose with you which was the best part," Delancey said.
"So, Nicole," Ashley said, "you have an album coming out in three weeks, huh?"
"Yep. I'm so excited I can't even stop smiling," Nicole said. "I mean, besides that, I'm going to India with John this week, Delancey and I are going with John and Shelton to Detroit for the Super Bowl, and I'm shooting my first music video next week. What else could happen?"
"Hey, this is only the beginning and you'll never know what could happen next," Maria said.
"Speaking of things happening," Delancey said, "it just so happens that I got two new tattoos."
"Oooh, let us see," Ashley said.
"Okay," Delancey said and she lifted up her brunette hair.
Delancey's tattoos were two Chinese symbols that meant "mystery" and "determination."
"Whoa, that is so cool," Ashley said.
"Thanks," Delancey said. "I happen to like Chinese symbols so I had to get two on my neck."
"Oh, that's so cool," Trish said.
Later, RAW was on and that night, there was a rematch between John and Edge for the WWE Championship. When RAW started, Edge said that the loss was a fluke and that he wasn't supposed to lose the title to John. He then announced that he would be invoking his rematch clause on RAW.
Nicole and Delancey were in the Women's Locker Room to watch Mickie James' celebration for Trish Stratus. Last night at the Royal Rumble, Trish was the special guest referee for the Divas' match between Ashley and Mickie. Mickie won the match after Trish made the count even though she didn't want to.
"To tell you the truth," Delancey said, "I think this is just a little too much for Trish to handle."
"Me too, Delancey," Nicole said. "I rather not remind Trish about Mickie again until Trish finally sees the truth."
Then Mickie's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mickie James," Lillian Garcia announced.
Mickie was bouncing all over and she ran down to the ring. She got on the turnbuckles and raised both of her arms in the air. Mickie got back down and asked for a microphone.
"You know, last night was one of the greatest nights of my life," Mickie said. "I mean, just take a look." Then the Titantron showed footage from last night. "Oh, my god. Can you believe that? Not only did I beat Ashley, but I finally got to profess my love to Trish Stratus and she proved that she loves me too, so I want to bring out the greatest Women's Champion ever, Trish Stratus!"
Trish's entrance theme played and she comes out from the curtain. As she walked down the aisle and got into the ring, balloons and confetti fell from the rafters.
"Mickie," Trish said onto the microphone, "I came down here to set the record straight."
"Trish, Trish, you totally set the record straight last night, right?" Mickie said. "I've arrange a special celebration to show you exactly how I feel. I give to you the Spirit Squad!"
The Spirit Squad's entrance theme played and they came out to the curtain and stood in a line to do a Trish chant.
Ready? Okay.
Hey, Trish, you're so fine
You're so fine you blow our mind
Hey, Trish
Hey, Trish
Ready? Okay.
She loves you
To keep your heart sacred
She loves you
Since the day she saw you naked
She knows your love is true
So you should say I love you too
The gang then left the arena.
"We've been in cheerleading before but that was just ridiculous," Nicole said.
"You can say that again," Delancey said.
"Ever since I watched you with my grandpappy," Mickie said, "I used to tell him that I want to be just like you. And now, I'm standing right next to you. What do you think?"
"Mickie, the thing is," Trish said but was interrupted by Ashley's entrance theme.
Ashley came out from the curtain and jogged down into the ring. She took the microphone from Trish and said,
"Trish, if you're not going to put this girl in your place, then I'm going to do it for you. Mickie, Trish, she does not love you. You got that? No and you know what? She thinks exactly what everyone here thinks, Mickie James is a psycho." Mickie started to cry. "Do you think she's a psycho?" The crowd cheered and chanted "She's a psycho!" at Mickie as she started bawling. "The crowd has spoken Mickie."
Mickie continued to cry and said,
"Trish, tell me this is not how you really feel. You don't feel that way, do you?"
Mickie was still crying and Trish took the microphone from Ashley and said,
"Look, Mickie, you're...you're a special woman."
"Oh, my god, you don't feel that way," Mickie said. "You know what? Forget it. Fine! I don't even want to bother you ever again! Forget it."
Mickie went to leave but then came back in and speared Ashley! The two go at it and Trish pulled Ashley off and then Ashley went back over and walked into a spin kick! Trish had no idea what to do and Mickie smiled at Trish and left the ring. Mickie grabbed a microphone and said,
"I knew it! I knew you cared about me, Trish, and that's why you're the greatest ever!"
Mickie made her way to the back happy as Trish checked on Ashley.
"You know what?" Nicole said. "It's like I said, I rather not remind Trish about Mickie again until Trish finally sees the truth because Mickie is truly a psycho."
"Yeah, Trish is too blind to see it," Delancey said.
"Well, I gotta join John for the WWE Championship match so I'll talk to you later."
"Okay."
Nicole then left the Women's Locker Room.
Then it was time for the WWE Championship match between John and Edge. Edge's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Lita following him. The two walked the aisle and Edge got into the ring first. Lita got into the ring next to join Edge. Then John's entrance theme plays and he comes out from the curtain with Nicole following him. She was wearing a blue lace halter top, black pants, and her hair straight. John and Nicole walked down the aisle and entered the ring and Nicole poses raising her Women's Title belt in the air with John as he gets on one of the turnbuckles raising his title belt in the air as well. John gets back down, takes off his "Never Back Down, Never Quit" t-shirt and camo "Chain Gang" baseball cap off and throws them to the crowd. Nicole kisses John for good luck and she and Lita left the ring as the referee raises the WWE Title belt and calls for the bell.
Edge and John locked up and then got into a shoving match before John took Edge down with a side headlock. Edge fought out and sent John to the ropes but he came back with a shoulder block and then Edge tossed John to the outside. Edge followed out and kicked at John but John fought back and sent Edge into the ring. John grabbed a side headlock and Edge backed him to the corner. Edge got in a cheap shot and then stomped away at John but John came back with some hard whips to the corner and then hit a fisherman's suplex without a bridge for two.
Edge sent John to the ropes but John reversed and hit a back body drop. John nailed a slam and then an elbow for a two count. John locked in a front face lock and then whipped Edge hard to the corner. John hip a suplex and covered for another two count before going into a rear naked choke on Edge. Edge fought out and sent John to the ropes and nailed a nice dropkick. Edge went up top but John pushed him off right into the announce table.
Nicole went to check on John as Edge tossed John right into the ring steps. Edge tossed John back in the ring and Edge nailed John with a right hand but John fought back with right hands of his own. John raked the eyes and perched John on the top rope. Edge climbed up and nailed a hurricanrana off the top for a near fall. Edge locked in a front face lock and wrapped himself around the standing John and then pulled John down to the mat. John broke the hold and the Edge nailed a shot to the jaw. The two traded right hands with John coming out on top and then John hit some clotheslines followed by a flying shoulder.
John charged at Edge in the corner but Edge got his boot up and came off the middle rope with a dive, but John caught him and slammed him down. Edge walked into a spinebuster from John for a two count and then Edge raked the eyes and nailed the Edge-O-Matic for a near fall. Edge went up to the top rope but John crotched him. John climbed up and nailed a superplex and both men are down. John crawled into a cover for two. Edge tripped John in the corner and rolled him up using the ropes for two. John dropped Edge face first on the turnbuckle and then gave him a spinning side slam. John hit the Five Knuckle Shuffle and blew a kiss to Lita.
John went for the FU but Edge fought out and sent John crashing into the referee! Edge gave John a low blow before setting up for the Spear. Edge scored with the Spear and covered but the referee is still down. Lita ran over and grabbed the WWE Title belt and tried get in the ring with it but Nicole grabbed her and the two were about to get into a catfight but Lita nails Nicole in the head with the belt. John picked Edge up for the FU and Lita got into the ring and then nailed Edge with the belt.
It didn't have much effect and Edge gets the win by disqualification which made no made no sense.
John couldn't believe he was disqualified because it was Lita who hit Edge with the belt. Nicole got into the ring and asked John what had happened. The Titantron showed Lita hitting Edge with the WWE Championship belt and Nicole was indeed shocked. She was about to attack Lita but John held her back. RAW was then over.
In the locker room after RAW was over...
"Okay, what just happened out there?" Nicole said. "What is going on?"
"I don't know and I have no idea," John said. "And I don't care."
"You don't think Lita secretly has feelings for you, does she?"
"Nicky, the only girl in my life is you. So don't worry."
John cupped Nicole's face and kissed her forehead.
"So, do you want to stay for Smackdown?" Nicole said.
"Yeah, I definitely want to see Rey Mysterio make his speech to the fans," John said, "and hey, it's his moment to shine and I know that Eddie is already proud of him."
"Yeah, me too."
Then Smackdown was on and General Manager Theodore Long's entrance theme played. He came out from the curtain and walked down the aisle to the ring. He dances a little and then takes a microphone.
"The Royal Rumble was full of surprises," Teddy said. "Such as the Undertaker coming out and challenging Kurt Angle for the title. That will happen at No Way Out. Then the biggest surprise at the Royal Rumble was who won the Royal Rumble. He outlasted 29 other men and dedicated his match to the late great Eddie Guerrero. The man who will go on to Wrestlemania is the winner of the 2006 Royal Rumble, Rey Mysterio."
Rey Mysterio's entrance theme played and he comes out in a low rider with Rochelle. He bounced in it a bit and he and Rochelle got out of the car. Rochelle was wearing a custom made Eddie Guerrero commemorative brown T-shirt that Nicole made for her and denim jeans.
When Dave Batista forfeited the World Heavyweight Championship, he asked Rey to look after Rochelle when she came back while Dave was gone. Rey accepted and of course, he and Rochelle were best friends since she came onto Smackdown. She even became friends with Rey's wife, Angie, and his two kids, Dominic and Aaliyah. They accepted Rochelle as part of the family.
Rey and Rochelle walked down the aisle and got into the ring. Rey then climbed up one of the turnbuckles and raised his arms in the air while the crowd was going wild. Rey got back down and he and Teddy hug and then Teddy left the ring. As Rey went to speak, the crowd starts chanting "Eddie!"
"Thank you Eddie!" Rey said onto the microphone. "You will always live in my heart and I hope I made you proud. I hope to make you even more proud when I go on to Wrestlemania and win the World Heavyweight Championship. You got me, Eddie. You played a good joke on me by me being number two in the Royal Rumble."
Then Randy Orton's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain. John and Nicole were watching the whole thing from the locker room.
"Oh, great," Nicole said. "What the hell is he doing there?"
"He's probably pissed because he's not going for the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania."
Back at the arena, Randy walked down the aisle laughing and smiling and he went inside the ring. He then said onto the microphone,
"Rey, you are absolutely right. Eddie was laughing his ass off. But he wasn't laughing with you, he was laughing at you." The crowd then chanted "You suck." "Now I know as Eddie knows as well as all these people know is that you are in no position to be in the main event at Wrestlemania. You do not belong in this position. I do."
"What makes you special..." Rey said.
"Hey, shut your mouth. Listen to me. There had to be some sort of divine intervention at the Royal Rumble because there was no way you could've won that on your own. You hear me? No way in hell."
"Intervention or not, Randy, I'm the one who tossed your ass over the top rope."
"Let me make one thing perfectly clear. In this ring, in a wrestling match, I will own you. I would beat you, I would destroy you just like that. As a matter of fact, seeing as lightning can't possibly strike twice in the same spot, I challenge you, Rey..."
The crown again chanted "You suck" as Rey said,
"I'm glad that Rochelle and I aren't the only ones who think you suck."
"Back to business, Rey," Randy said. "I challenge you for your main event spot at Wrestlemania." Rey and Rochelle laugh it off. "Hey, hey. What are you hesitating for, man? Answer me. You are so positively sure of yourself when it comes to defeating me in this ring. What's a little hesitation for? Answer me. Rey, answer me, huh? Come on. Put it on the line, huh?" Rey doesn't say anything and looks up and the crowd chants "Eddie!" "Rey, you're looking up towards the heavens like you're looking at Eddie. Let me tell you something, bro. Eddie ain't in heaven, Eddie's down there, in hell!"
"No, he didn't," Nicole said.
Rey and Rochelle were in shock as Randy looks at Rey not noticing that Rochelle was walking behind him. Rochelle then kicks Randy in the groin and Rey starts to attack Randy and starts beating the hell out of him. Rey was on top the whole time punching Randy in the face as the referees came from the back and broke it up. Randy left the ring and the referees had to hold Rey back to keep him away from Randy.
After that, Nicole along with Delancey were walking down the hallway looking for Rochelle. When they reached the Women's Locker Room, they went inside and saw Kristal.
"Hey, Kristal, do you know where Rochelle is?" Nicole asked.
"She's in the restroom," Kristal said pointing to the door.
Nicole and Delancey went inside the restroom.
"Rochelle, are you in here?" Delancey said as she heard sniffling in one of the stalls.
"Rochelle, is that you?" Nicole said as she heard crying.
Nicole and Delancey opened the door to each stall until they stopped at the one at the end. Rochelle was sitting on top of the toilet crying and Nicole and Delancey kneeled down next to her.
"Rochelle, I am so sorry for what Randy said," Nicole said. "That was just pitiful."
"All I want to do is kick Randy's ass," Rochelle said, "and I'll do it if I have to because he has really pissed me off."
"I'm telling you," Delancey said, "he's been starting crap all year, and now he wants to say such stupid things about Eddie Guerrero. That's low."
"Well, I think it's time we show the Legend Killer who's boss," Nicole said.
"How do we do that, Nicole?" Rochelle said.
"Well, I haven't gotten my revenge for what Randy did to me back in November and there's this saying, 'What goes around, comes around.' Something will come to me and I need you two to help me."
"Hey, whatever you got to destroy Randy," Delancey said, "I'm in."
"Me too," Rochelle said. "I think we should do something to make Eddie proud."
And with that, Nicole's plan was set after Rey lost the main event match between himself and Kurt Angle versus Randy Orton and Mark Henry and accepted Randy's challenge at No Way Out.
