Chapter 66: Smackdown: The Angels to the Rescue Again
Smackdown was in Richmond, Virginia and Nicole along with Delancey and Rochelle was going to be in a six-Diva tag team match against Melina, Sharmell, and Jillian Hall. Also, Rey Mysterio was going to address the public about his loss at No Way Out, but was unaware that a huge surprise to was going to be revealed to him afterwards.
Before Smackdown, Nicole spent the entire afternoon promoting her album, "The Beauty of St. Louis," which finally came out today, by attending a three-hour autograph signing and a couple of radio appearances. This week was a busy week for her because tomorrow, Nicole would be going to New York for another autograph signing and more radio appearances; Thursday in Los Angeles would be the same thing and she along with John were gonna see Stacy Keibler dance in the semifinals of "Dancing with the Stars;" and Friday, Nicole would go back to New York to appear on MTV's "Total Request Live."
Smackdown was on and Randy's entrance theme played. He comes out from the curtain and walked down the aisle and got inside the ring. Randy went on one of the turnbuckles and did his pose. He got back down and asked for a microphone.
Randy cleared his throat and said,
"Please, please. Now I'm not the kind of guy to come out here to say 'I told you so.' But I told you so. I'm going to compete for the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. Rey Mysterio is not. All of Rey's hopes, dreams, fantasies over a storybook victory over me were shattered. It didn't matter who was chanting for him or who he dedicated his match to, I had destiny on my side. Shut your mouth!" The fans booed and chanted "Eddie." "Hey, even Eddie's Angels couldn't do anything about it, especially their leader whose album is in stores right now and I actually gonna make one little review, quote, 'It sucks.' Now, I had destiny on my side, a destiny, my destiny, that will be fulfilled at Wrestlemania when I become the World Heavyweight Champion. Now Kurt Angle, you're lucky, man. Because that's what it took, luck, to beat the Undertaker at No Way Out. But all the luck in the world couldn't help you at Wrestlemania when you step in the ring with me. At Wrestlemania, when I become the World Heavyweight Champion, I will take my rightful place at the top of this business. A business that my family built. You see, my grandfather was the greatest wrestler of his generation. My father was the greatest wrestler of his generation. At Wrestlemania, I will prove that I am the greatest wrestler of my generation. Not the Undertaker, not Rey Mysterio, not Kurt Angle, not even the late great Eddie Guerrero. No, no, no. I am without peers. Nobody is better than Randy Orton. Nobody is better than me. You can people can chant all you want. You people can say..."
Then out of nowhere, Chavo Guerrero attacked Randy from behind. He took off his shirt then attacks Randy again with Eddie Guerrero's move, the Three Amigos. Chavo then climbed up the turnbuckle, says, "This is for you, Eddie," and hits the Five-Star Frog Splash. After that, security got their hands on Chavo and they drag him out of the ring. While they are pulling Chavo away, he was yelling,
"You think you're the best family? I'm the best family! The Guerreros are the best family! You forgot! You forgot! You forgot about me!"
As the fans chanted "Eddie" and Randy was still down in the ring, Nicole's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain. She was wearing an Eddie Guerrero "I'm Your Papi" t-shirt custom made into a short sleeve shirt, a denim miniskirt, black boots, and her hair was straight.
"Hey, everyone," Nicole said onto the microphone, "look at what happened just a minute ago. Randy Orton, 'The Legend Killer,' just got his ass beaten on by Chavo Guerrero. And Randy, that's just the beginning because I happen to have a huge surprise just for you. In fact, this is something Rey Mysterio doesn't know even know about, and Randy, there is this saying, 'The shock will kill you.' This still happens to be my revenge for abducting me back in November, and Randy, when Teddy Long makes this announcement after Rey Mysterio addresses the public, maybe this announcement will teach you never to put your hands on me again and to stop being so jealous of me because John Cena...can satisfy me more than your sorry ass can. Oh, one more thing, since you think my album sucks, and I know you haven't bought it, why don't you download track number 13 entitled, 'Sorry Excuse for a Man' because that is exactly what you are."
Nicole smiled and blew the kiss of death as she went into the back.
Nicole was still smiling as she was walking down the hallway because she knew when the surprise to Rey was going to drive Randy insane. When Nicole reached the Women's Locker Room, she got inside where Delancey and Rochelle was.
"Well, ladies," Nicole said, "phase one is complete. Now in a little while, phase two."
"I still can't believe Chavo showed up," Delancey said, "but it wasn't a bad thing though. Randy deserved to get his ass kicked."
"Well, like Nicole said," Rochelle said, "Randy getting his butt kicked is just the beginning of the worst night of his life yet because when Teddy Long makes this announcement tonight, Randy will go crazy."
"You can believe that," Nicole said as the girls laughed.
A little later, it was time for Rey Mysterio to address the public about his loss at No Way Out. Rey's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with "Eddie's Angels" following him. Delancey was wearing an Eddie Guerrero "I'm Your Papi" t-shirt custom made into a tube top, red plaid miniskirt, black fishnet stockings, and black combat boots. Rochelle was wearing the same t-shirt custom made into a tube mini dress and black boots. The four walked down the aisle and they got inside the ring. "Eddie's Angels" stood in a row while Rey asked for a microphone and said,
"It makes me feel very happy that Eddie Guerrero will be inducted into the Hall Of Fame. You know, I dedicated my performance at the Royal Rumble to the memory of my good friend and my brother Eddie Guerrero. I know very well that that night, Eddie was smiling down on me when I eliminated Randy Orton and won my chance to main event for the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. But, Randy Orton has gotten in my head. He got me so upset that I put my Wrestlemania title opportunity on the line and lost it. It's no one's fault but my own. I let everyone down. I just want to say to everyone I let down, I apologize. I apologize to my family, to Vickie Guerrero, to Chavo Guerrero, to all the fans, and most importantly to Eddie Guerrero."
Rey sat the microphone down on the mat and was about the leave the ring until Theodore Long's entrance theme played. Theodore came out from the curtain and walked down the aisle into the ring. He shook Rey's hand and said,
"Well, Rey, I want you to know something right now. I, myself, and everyone else around here, we feel your pain, dawg. You can believe that. You see, what happened to you Sunday was wrong. I'll tell you what, wait a minute. I want everybody to take a look because I want to show everybody just how wrong it was. Take a look at the footage." Then the Titantron showed the footage of Randy grabbing the ropes to win the match at No Way Out. "Well, Rey, I want you to know this. I reviewed the tape and as far as me reversing the decision, my hands are tied. Now the referee's decision is final. So, therefore at Wrestlemania, so Randy Orton will be in the main event. Now I can't change that, Rey, but I'll tell you what can do. Now I can't take Orton out of the match, but I damn sure can add to the match. So, at Wrestlemania, it will be Randy Orton versus the World Champion...versus Rey Mysterio!" Rey got so excited jumping up and down. "And Rey, one other thing, player. That match will be a triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Title!"
Rey is all excited and hugs Teddy and "Eddie's Angels." Teddy leaves the ring as Rey climbs up on the turnbuckles to celebrate and he and "Eddie's Angels" leave the ring and walked to the back.
"I can't believe this," Rey said. "I really can't believe this. I'm still gonna be in the main event at Wrestlemania. Man, I feel really good now."
"Well, to tell you the truth, this was all Nicole's idea," Rochelle said.
"Wait a minute. Nicole? You went to Teddy Long's office and convinced him to put me in the triple threat match at Wrestlemania?"
"Well, it took a while back at No Way Out and I guess it worked tonight," Nicole said.
"We had to remind Teddy Long of all the things Randy has done and you know he's been starting crap all year," Delancey said.
"So after that, Teddy Long thought it over and said that he was gonna review the tape and let us know today," Rochelle said.
"Of course, that was the surprise for you and we couldn't tell you because we didn't want to get your hopes up too quickly."
"So, surprise, Rey," Nicole said.
"Thank you, ladies. Thank you," Rey said. "And thank you, Nicole. I can see that John Cena loves you so much."
"Well, there's this saying 'The best things in life are free,'" Nicole said, "and one of them happens to be John Cena. He's given me everything I wanted and he taught me everything he knows."
"Hey, John's a great guy and you're a lucky girl."
"Thank you, Rey."
A little later, it was time for the six-Diva tag team match between "Eddie's Angels" against Melina, Sharmell, and Jillian Hall.
Jillian's new entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with Melina and Sharmell following them.
"The following is a six-Diva tag team match scheduled for one fall," Tony Chimmel announced. "Making their way down to the ring, the team of Melina, Sharmell, and Jillian Hall."
The three girls walked down the aisle and got inside the ring. The three posed to make themselves look good and they stood next to each other waiting for "Eddie's Angels" to come out. The Angels' entrance theme, "Only Love Can Do It," which was Joy Giovanni's old entrance theme, played and they came out from the curtain.
"And their opponents, Rochelle Kennedy, Delancey Scott and the WWE Women's Champion, Nicole Mitchell, Eddie's Angels," Tony announced.
Nicole was wearing a black short-sleeved top with a red heart and "Girlfriend of the Chain Gang Soldier" on the front and "Chain Gang Diva 19" on the back and black shorts. Delancey was wearing a red bikini top, black pants, and black hand warmers. Rochelle was wearing a black corset top with red ribbon on the front and black pants. The Angels walked down the ramp and Delancey jumped into the ring first. Rochelle got up the steps and went into the ring next and Nicole used Melina's ring entrance to get in the ring. The Angels got on the turn buckles and raised their right arms in the air. Then they got back down and stood next to each other making fun at Melina, Sharmell, and Jillian. Nicole, Delancey, Sharmell, and Jillian left the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Melina and Rochelle kicked things off with a tie up and Melina slapped Rochelle and then sent her to the apron. Melina yanked the hair but Rochelle sent her into the turnbuckle and then hit a crossbody for two. Delancey tagged in and went to the middle rope with a double sledge but then Melina nailed a clothesline. Melina tagged in Sharmell who stomped at the leg of Delancey and then went to choke her over the ropes but Delancey blocked it and then Jillian nailed Delancey and Sharmell tagged in Jillian.
Jillian hit a suplex and rolled out for two. Delancey went for a tag but Jillian stopped her and locked in a rear naked choke. Delancey elbowed out but Jillian nailed her from behind and then gave her a body slam and then the flipping slingshot leg drop. Delancey tagged in Rochelle who hit a clothesline, and then another and then some right hands.
Rochelle hit a flying forearm and then some kicks to the chest and a spinning heel kick for two when Sharmell made the save. Rochelle sent Sharmell out but then Jillian nailed her with a clothesline but then ate an elbow in the corner and Rochelle hit the spinning headscissors. Rochelle tagged in Nicole and she hit the NDM for the cover but Melina came in but Rochelle took her down and Nicole pinned Jillian for the win!
"Here are your winners, Eddie's Angels," Tony announced.
The Angels raised their arms in the air with the referee and they hugged each other. They left the ring and walked to the back and quickly made their way to the Women's Locker Room to change into the outfits.
After that, "Eddie's Angels" were walking to the locker room to meet up with Rey Mysterio, Chris Benoit, and Bobby Lashley for the six-man tag team when they heard some arguing. They saw Randy Orton arguing with Smackdown General Manager Theodore Long and figured that he was really pissed off.
"I refuse to go out to that ring!" Randy said.
"What is your problem?" Teddy said.
"What is my problem? I got a problem. Chavo Guerrero's around. Chavo comes behind my back, jumps me from behind during my ring time. You make a match between the Undertaker and Kurt Angle for the World Heavyweight Title next week on Smackdown. What are you trying to do to me, man?"
"I'm not trying to do anything to you."
"And to top it all off, you put Rey Mysterio in my main event match at Mania for the World Heavyweight Championship? Are you crazy? Are you kidding me? You are the worst General Manager in history!"
"Hey, now let me tell you something."
"Tell me something. Tell me what I wanna hear."
"Now I've had just about enough of you. Now I'm the worst GM ever, right?"
"Yeah!"
"Well, I'll tell you what else the worst GM can ever do. Now if you don't get to stepping and get out there in that six-man tag team match, then I might consider pulling you from your World Title match at Wrestlemania. Now are you feeling that?"
Then "Eddie's Angels" came forward.
"Hey, Randy," Nicole said.
"We knew this would piss you off," Delancey said, "and it's gonna work perfectly when you lose at Wrestlemania."
"We thought we should warn you before your match," Rochelle said, "is that after Teddy Long made that announcement earlier about the triple threat match at Wrestlemania, Nicole spent a really good amount of time 'getting warmed up' by John Cena for our six-Diva tag team match and she thought that you should know."
"Alright. Let me ask you a question," Nicole said. "How does it feels to know that you will never, ever, experience..." Nicole took her t-shirt exposing her black bra in Randy's face, "...this again? It probably feels pretty pathetic. And you wanna know why, Randy? You are pathetic. And as far as I'm concerned, you can go to hell."
Randy stared at Nicole with dark eyes and began to walk away. The girls laughed and Rochelle said,
"Thank you, Mr. Long."
"My pleasure," Teddy said as he kissed Rochelle's hand.
Nicole put her shirt back and the Angels walked away to meet up with Rey Mysterio, Chris Benoit, and Bobby Lashley.
Then it was time for the six-man tag-team match between Rey Mysterio, Chris Benoit, and Bobby Lashley against John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Finlay, and Randy Orton. Each man made their way to the ring and the referee called for the bell.
Randy and Rey start it off and Rey lands a couple of kicks to Randy's legs, but Randy fights back by driving a forearm into Rey's back and driving Rey face first into the mat. Randy punches Rey in the face. Randy whips Rey who slides between Randy's legs on one pass. Rey hits the headscissors on Randy sending him rolling out of the ring.

Rey fights it out with punches and forearms, but JBL shoulder blocks him to the mat. JBL covers for two and Chris breaks up the count.
When the referee is distracted with Chris, JBL and Finlay swap out without actually tagging, just making the sound. Finlay gets Rey in a rear naked choke, but the referee tells him to leave the ring. The referee starts counting and Finlay lets go. Finlay pulls Rey to their corner and tags JBL.
JBL immediately tags in Randy. Rey is crawling to his corner and Randy is standing over him mocking him. Randy stomps Rey's back and then yells at him and Eddie's Angels.
