Chapter 62: Victorious x2
RAW was in Greensboro, North Carolina and on that night, John was facing Edge for the WWE Championship and Nicole was facing Lita for the Women's Championship. This was also the night of the world premiere of Nicole's new music video, "All I've Been Through."
Nicole and Delancey were in the locker room with their pets Baby and Shadow playing each other.
"So, Delancey," Nicole said, "are you happy that you're gonna be the special guest referee for my Women's Championship match tonight?"
"Of course I'm happy," Delancey said. "I've been wanting to get revenge on Lita for months and maybe she'll learn never to betray me or you or take us on a wild goose chase ever again."
"Yeah. The same to Edge as well."
"You know, for months, I've been trying to get him to get his act together, but...he's getting worse. It's like everytime I do something, he's always two steps ahead of me."
"Well, I know in my heart, John will straighten him out and the whole thing will be over because next week, there will be a new number one contender for the WWE Championship."
"You can say that again."
"And what about No Way Out? Apparently, we got two Smackdown Divas named Dumb and Dumber..."
"Or as Trish would say, the Skankateers."
Both girls laughed.
"And an out-of-control Legend Killer to deal with this Sunday," Nicole said.
"Well, here's the thing," Delancey said, "if Randy loses his match against Rey Mysterio on Sunday, we'll make him get down on his knees and apologize. He'll do whatever we say until he cracks."
"Oooh, Delancey. We're Eddie Angels, not Vince's Devils."
"Hey, we're not gonna do anything stupid. We're just gonna straighten Randy out so he'll start from scratch."
"Okay."
"By the way, who's Dumb and Dumber?"
"Sharmell and Melina."
"Oh, yeah. Sharmell is jumping to conclusions and Melina's so dumb, she can't even look up the word 'defend.'"
Both girls laughed again.
Then RAW was on and the first match of the night was the Women's Championship match which was Nicole versus Lita. Delancey's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.
"Please welcome the special guest referee for the match, Delancey Scott," Lillian Garcia announced.
Delancey was wearing a referee uniform which was the tank top tied at the bottom, black shorts, and black boots. Delancey walked down the ramp slapping hands of the fans and she got in the ring. Then Nicole's entrance theme played first and she came out from the curtain.
"The following match scheduled for one fall and it is for the WWE Women's Championship," Lillian announced. "Introducing first from St. Louis, Missouri, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Nicole Mitchell."
Nicole was wearing a lime green one-sleeve top, black leather shorts, a Chain Gang wristband, and her hair was straight. Nicole walked down the ramp and went into the ring. Nicole got on one of the turnbuckles and raised her title belt in the air. Then she got back down and stood waiting for Lita to come out. Lita's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.
"And her opponent from Sanford, North Carolina, Lita," Lillian announced.
Lita walked down the ramp and got into the ring. She stared at Nicole and Delancey as she got on one of the turnbuckles and did nothing again. She got back down and began to talk trash to Nicole and Delancey. Nicole handed the belt to Delancey and she raised it up in the air. Then Delancey called for the bell.
Nicole and Lita went face-to-face and Lita slapped Nicole in the face before Nicole nailed her and the two get into a catfight. Lita came back with a clothesline on Nicole and nailed some shots but Nicole rolled over and rallied with forearm shots. Nicole knocked Lita down and then sent her to the outside. Nicole then nailed the suicide dive onto Lita with both girls down.
Delancey began the count as Nicole and Lita slowly got back up and got back into the ring. Lita is in control of Nicole kicking her in the back and with a rear naked choke. Nicole fought back but Lita nailed a dropkick for two. Lita stomped away at Nicole and then choked her over the bottom rope. Lita hit a back elbow knockdown and covered for a two count before going back to the rear naked choke. Nicole fought back with a dropkick to the knee and then a leg drop before nailing a front flip into a splash. Nicole then did it again and covered for a near fall. Nicole slammed Lita down and then hit the split legged moonsault but Lita got her knees up and rolled Nicole up and grabbed the shorts for two.
Nicole kicked Lita in the back of her legs a few times and then Lita tripped Nicole and hit a face first slam for two! Lita went for a suplex but Nicole blocked and hit some elbows, but then Lita hit a back cracker for two! Lita rolled to the outside and grabbed a chair and went to nail Nicole but Delancey grabbed the chair and Delancey and Lita started talking smack before Nicole kicked the chair back into Lita's face with the X Factor before hitting the Moonsault for the win.
"Here is your winner and still the WWE Women's Champion, Nicole Mitchell," Lillian announced.
Delancey handed Nicole the Women's Championship belt and raised her left arm in the air. Nicole and Delancey hugged each other and laughed at the unconscious Lita. Nicole and Delancey left the ring and as were walking up the ramp and were about the reach the back, Nicole and Delancey turned around and Nicole once again raised the title belt in the air. Then Nicole and Delancey went to the back.
A little later, John, Nicole, Shelton, Delancey, and a few of the superstars and divas gathered in the locker room to watch the world premiere of Nicole's new music video, "All I've Been Through."
"Well, Nicole, are you nervous?" Delancey said.
"A little," Nicole said. "I haven't seen my video yet but I'm happy that they're finally gonna show it."
"Hey, I know just how you feel," John said.
"Hey, everyone, it's time!" Shelton said.
The TV showed RAW announcers Jerry "The King" Lawler, Joey Styles, and the Coach discussing Nicole's music video.
"Well, it's now time for the world premiere of Nicole Mitchell's new music video 'All I've Been Through' and of course, we all know that Nicole had a hard first year here in the WWE," Joey said.
"Well, Nicole was once a member of Evolution and throughout her time with the group, she was always considered 'another face in the company' and a bad influence," Jerry said. "After leaving Evolution, Nicole was engaged to the Legend Killer Randy Orton but last March, after delivering the RKO to Stacy Keibler, it tragically ended the relationship and the engagement and Nicole was on the verge of depression and quitting until John Cena came into the picture."
"Well, now Nicole was one of Teen People's 25 Hottest Stars Under 25, she opened up for John Cena and Tha Trademarc for their summer tour, she was the November 2005 Playboy cover girl, she guest-starred on the USA Network's original series 'Monk,' and currently, she's the 2006 Babe of the Year alongside Delancey Scott and the WWE Women's Champion."
"Well, for those of you who are just tuning in, here is the world premiere of Nicole Mitchell's new music video 'All I've Been Through,'" Joey said.
The video then appeared and it started with Nicole walking down a hallway. Nicole opened a door and the music started with her lying on a bench in a gym.
I need time (time)
Love (love)
Joy (joy)
I need space
I need me
(Action!)
Say hello to the girl that I am
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
Needed to make mistakes just to learn who I am
And I don't wanna be so overlooked at
There must be another way
'Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God, I need some answers
All I've been through in my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
And I supposed to know what's right
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
And my life has been so overlooked at
I told 'em what I liked
What I want
What I don't
And every time I did I stood corrected
Things that I've been told
I can't believe what I hear about the world, I realize
I was overlooked at
There must be another way
'Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God, I need some answers
All I've been through in my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
And I supposed to know what's right
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
And my life has been so overlooked at
I need…...time (love)
I need…...space
(This is it, this is it)
I don't need nobody
Tellin' me just what I wanna
What I what what what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I Say No, No
Nobody's telling me just what what what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me
(Action!)
All I've been through in my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
And I supposed to know what's right
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
And my life has been so overlooked at
I don't need nobody's
Tellin me just what I wanna
What I what what what I'm gonna
Do about my destiny
I Say No, No
Nobody's telling me just what I wanna do, do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be
Someone else but me
All I've been through in my life
(You will find it out don't worry)
And I supposed to know what's right
(You just got to do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
And my life has been so overlooked at
After the video, everyone applauded and Nicole stood up and went in front of the TV.
"Thank you, thank you," Nicole said bowing down to everyone.
"I gotta tell you," the Big Show said, "Britney Spears oughta watch out because you're about to blow everyone away when you're album comes out next week."
"Oh, yeah. I'll be the first to buy it," Ashley said.
"Hey, this is the only the beginning for me," Nicole said, "but I know that if my album hits gold like John's album did, then everything would be complete."
Everyone agreed.
Later, it was time for the WWE Championship match between John and Edge. Mick Foley's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain wearing a referee uniform.

Nicole raised her Women's title belt in the air as well. John takes off his "Chain Gang" camo baseball cap and his "Chain Gang: Never Back Down, Never Quit" t-shirt and threw them to the audience. Nicole kissed John and she and Lita left the ring as Mick raised the WWE Championship belt in the air and called for the bell.

Lita removed the turnbuckle pad in the corner but Mick catches her. Lita tied it back on and then Mick ejected her from the match! John and Nicole waved bye to her and Edge looked pissed. Edge kept walking a few steps and John was still waiting for Edge to come back to the ring. Edge got so emotional as he started to come back to the ring. Edge was about to get in but got back down and started to leave.
John got pissed and ran out of the ring after Edge before clubbing him back into the ring. But as John got inside the ring, Edge sent him back outside and planted his face on the guardrail.

"Baby, are you okay?" John asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay," Nicole said.
"Did I knock you down that hard?"
"No, I'm okay."
"Well, I guess we've had enough of Edge and Lita."
"But next week, there's gonna be a triple threat match for the number one contender spot for the WWE Championship. I sure hate it to be Triple H because the guy will do anything to become the WWE Champion."
"Hey, I don't care if it's Triple H, the Big Show, or Rob Van Dam. You know I'll fight anyone at anytime. And you know Wrestlemania is a month away so I'll be ready."
"Yeah, you're right. You were right and you'll always be right."
"Damn straight. So are you excited about tomorrow?"
"Oh, yeah. I'm very excited about tomorrow. This is actually my first Valentine's Day with you and you know what? Spending the day at the Atlantis Resort is gonna be so much fun."
"Oh, yeah. I'll give you a lot of fun."
"And I'm looking forward to it."
John and Nicole kissed each other.
