Chapter 69: Sparring Death Wishes
RAW was in Beaumont, Texas and Nicole was going to defend the Women's Championship against Victoria. This night was also the night of the official Wrestlemania 22 contract signing for the WWE Championship match between John and Triple H.
John arrived at the arena and was looking for Delancey because he wanted to show her what he bought for Nicole. John was walking down the hallway and he spotted Delancey with Shadow on the top of the crate.
"Hey, D," John said.
"Hey, John," Delancey said.
"Hey, Shadow." John was petting the cat's head. "Listen, I was looking for you and, um, I was out and about looking for something for Nicole and I bought it and I wanted to show you."
"Okay, what is it?" John pulled out a small jewelry box from the small bag and gave it to Delancey. Delancey opened the box and looked at what was inside in amazement. It was a classic three-stone princess cut diamond engagement ring prong set in platinum. "No way. Are you going to ask Nicole to marry you?"
"Yep. That's exactly what I'm doing, when I win my WWE Championship match against Triple H at Wrestlemania."
"Oh, my god. John, do you know how happy Nicole is gonna be when you propose to her?"
"Hey, she deserves this. I am completely in love with her and……she made my life better since last year's Wrestlemania when she revealed that she was in love with me."
"Hey, Nicole was depressed before Wrestlemania and you came into her life and that gave her a new lease on life. Nicole has earned a lot in her second year here in the WWE because you got people to believe in her and you believed in her as well."
"Well, it's about taking care of the people that take care of you and that's what I've been doing……for Nicole."
"Yeah."
"Well, I just wanted to show you this and I got some stuff to do. But whatever you do, don't tell Nicole. I want her to be surprised."
"Don't worry. I won't."
"Okay. I'll see you later."
"Bye."
Then John walked away.
"Shadow, can you believe that the WWE Champion John Cena is going to ask my best friend, the WWE Women's Champion, to marry him?" Delancey said holding up Shadow. "You have no idea how happy Nicole is gonna be on April 2nd when Wrestlemania comes around."
Delancey jumped off the crate carrying Shadow and was walking down the hallway to the locker room. When she got there, Delancey went inside and saw that Nicole wasn't there. Delancey closed the door and continued to walk down the hallway until she stopped to see Nicole working out. Delancey then walked up to her.
"Hey, Nicole," Delancey said.
"Hey, Delancey," Nicole said. "Hey, Shadow. What's up?"
"Oh, I just wanted to see how you're feeling."
"I'm feeling better now."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, Delancey. I'm fine. I don't want you to worry about me anymore."
"Okay. So, you're gonna be touring anytime soon?"
"Um, yeah. With Wrestlemania and Backlash happening in April, I'm gonna begin touring in May and it'll end in July."
"That's amazing."
"Yeah. I know this will be exciting as my opening act set last year. God, that was a great experience for me."
"Yeah and it'll be a bigger experience when you go on tour."
"Yeah."
Then Torrie Wilson came forward.
"Hello, Nicole. Delancey," Torrie said.
"Hello, Torrie," Nicole said crossing her arms.
"Look, I just want to apologize for the things I've done since I got traded here. I realized that my actions not only caused me to have personal problems in my life, it also got me to break up my friendship with Candice and Victoria. Nicole, you were right. I did let Melina get to me and turn me into a bitch. I want to say I'm sorry and hope that we can put the stuff that happened between us behind us and start over."
Everyone paused for a minute.
"Okay, Torrie," Delancey said. "I accept your apology."
"Yeah, me too," Nicole said extending her hand and Torrie shook it. "But we're not the only ones you need to apologize to you."
"Yeah. I've already spoken to Trish and I know I gotta make an apology to Ashley and Rochelle, who I betrayed the most." Torrie said. "I gotta go."
"Okay, see you," Delancey said as Torrie walked away.
Later, RAW was on and the first match of the night was the Women's Championship match between Nicole and Victoria. Nicole's entrance theme played first and she came out from the curtain with Delancey following her.
"The following match scheduled for one fall and it is for the Women's Championship," Lillian Garcia announced. "Making her way to the ring being accompanied by Delancey Scott, from St. Louis, Missouri, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Nicole Mitchell."
Nicole was wearing a denim spaghetti strap midriff tank top and denim shorts with glittery red trim, denim skirted leg warmers, and her hair was curled a little. Delancey was wearing a black tank top, light denim miniskirt, black boots, and long black arm warmers. The two walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Nicole stood in the middle of the ring raising her title belt in the air. She got one of the turnbuckles and did it again. Nicole got back down and stood next to Delancey waiting for Victoria to come out. Victoria's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with Candice following her.
"And her opponent being accompanied to the ring by Candice Michelle, from Los Angeles, California, Victoria," Lillian announced.
The two walked down the ramp and Victoria got into the ring. Candice went around the ring and stayed outside. Delancey left the ring as Nicole gave her title belt to the referee and he raised it up in the air. Then he called for the bell.
Nicole nailed some forearms and then a Thesz press followed by some right hands. Victoria tripped Nicole into the ropes and then covered for two. Victoria hit some stiff knees to the head and then hit the Spider's Web for a two count. Victoria slammed Nicole to the mat by her hair and covered for another two.
Victoria pulled Nicole onto her back by the hair and then did so again but Nicole flipped over and nailed a kick to the face. Victoria came back and sent Nicole to the outside and then Victoria threw her back in for two. Victoria went for the Spider's Web again but Nicole reversed into a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. Both ladies then charged at each other looking for a clothesline and both crashed to the mat. Nicole nailed right hands but then ate an elbow in the corner. Nicole went for the Cenasphere but Victoria blocked and then Nicole hit the whirlybird headscissors.
Nicole followed up with a spinebuster for two and then went for the NDM. Candice got on the apron and distracted the referee. While Delancey went for Candice, Victoria went for the Widow's Peak but the referee was still distracted and Torrie hit the ring and hit the face slam on Victoria. And then Nicole followed up with the X Factor for the win.
"Here is your winner and still the WWE Women's Champion, Nicole Mitchell," Lillian announced.
The referee gave Nicole the title belt and raised her left arm in the air. Nicole left the ring as Delancey was beginning to pick a fight with Candice. The referee separated them as Nicole and Delancey walked away. Then the two walked up the ramp making fun of Victoria and Candice and said, "That's what you get." RAW then went to a commercial break.
A little later, the Coach was in the ring and it's decked out with carpet, a table, and two chairs.
"It's time for the contract to be signed between two men who have never faced each other for the WWE Championship," the Coach said. "First, let me introduce to you, the Game, Triple H."
Triple H's entrance theme and he came out from the curtain. He walked down the ramp and got inside the ring. Triple H shook the Coach's hand and sat at the table with his feet up.
"And now let me introduce to you the reigning WWE Champion John Cena," The Coach said.
John's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Nicole and Delancey following him. Nicole was wearing a pink backless collared buttoned-down midriff tank top, turquoise tie, and black pants. The three walked down the ramp and got inside the ring. John took his seat with Nicole and Delancey standing behind him.
"Okay, both lawyers have looked at the contract and everything is in order," The Coach said. "Triple H, you are the challenger, you sign first."
The Coach handed Triple H the contract and a pen.
"Before I sign this contract, John," Triple H said onto the microphone, "I just wanted to let you know that I was impressed last week. Did anybody see RAW last week? Who here saw John Cena picked up the 500 pound Big Show and give him the FU? It blew my mind. That would kill a normal man, but not John Cena. But the fact is, as strong as you are, it's not going to make a damn bit of difference. It won't help you one bit at Wrestlemania. All this is just a formality. It's a foregone conclusion, John. It's a fact. It's happening and at Wrestlemania, the WWE Championship comes back home." Triple H signed the contract and then pushed it over for John. John quickly signed it and sat the contract down. "And just like that, it was over. You see, this is the point, John, where usually at these contract signings when I'm sure the name is on the dotted line and there is no backing out of it, that's when I flip this table over, pull out a sledgehammer out, and bash your brains in. But the fact is, John, I'm the kind of guy who takes any advantage I can get, but I'm not going to do that. I don't need to do that with you. I'm already at a big enough disadvantage."
John, Nicole, and Delancey laughed.
"You know, I gotta admit I was fired out coming out here but you crack me up," John said. "That's a funny story. Is that really the reason why? Maybe it's because if you flip that table over and grab a sledgehammer and try to bash my brains in, I will take that hammer and stick it straight up your ass!"
Triple H and John stood up and Triple H took off his jacket. Then the Big Show's entrance theme and he came out from the curtain with Kane. Both of them were pissed as Triple H flipped the table and grabbed the sledgehammer with Nicole and Delancey leaving the ring. As Kane and Show made their way down, Chris Masters and Carlito jumped Kane and Big Show from behind they brawled in the aisle with tons of security trying to break it up.
"Shut it down! Hey, shut it down!" Vince McMahon said on the Titantron. "Listen to me a minute. For the six of you want to fight so bad, I'm in a fighty mood tonight. Then tonight, it will be John Cena, Kane, and the Big Show against Carlito, Chris Masters and Triple H! That's gonna happen tonight."
John and Triple H were still in the ring still staring each other down as they were prepared to go at it. Triple H then smiled and left the ring with Nicole and Delancey coming back into the ring joining John. Triple H was still smiling and was talking trash to John as John, Nicole, and Delancey still stared at him.
A little later, Nicole and Delancey were walking down the hallway to find Trish. She accepted Mickie James as her tag team partner for the Divas' tag team match against Candice Michelle and Victoria at Saturday Night's Main Event. This was after Torrie Wilson, who was supposed to be Trish's tag team partner, was knocked unconscious in the Women's Locker Room by God knows who. When Nicole and Delancey found Trish in the catering room, she was sitting at the table and Nicole and Delancey walked up to her.
"Hey, Trish," Nicole said.
"Oh, hey, Nicole. Delancey," Trish said when she turned her head.
"Look, we're not gonna bag on you or anything," Delancey said, "but are you absolutely sure that you want Mickie James as your tag team partner for Saturday Night's Main Event?"
"Look, we talked about this before and we're happy that you finally told Mickie to back off," Nicole said, "but I have a feeling that something bad is gonna happen when you step in the ring with her."
"Look, I'll try to be careful and I know that I told Mickie that I needed space," Trish said, "but I'll be fine. Don't worry."
"Okay, because this time, we'll be looking out for you," Delancey said.
"I appreciate that."
"Okay, we'll see you later," Nicole said.
"See ya," Trish said as Nicole and Delancey walked away.
Then it was time for the Divas' match between Delancey and Lita. Delancey wanted this match after what Lita did to Maria last week and was also gonna make an announcement concerning her Wrestlemania match against Smackdown Diva, Melina.
On Smackdown last week, Melina had a match against Rochelle, but decided to forfeit because she couldn't handle being beaten up by Rochelle anymore. Melina challenged Delancey to a match because Melina said that Delancey was the one who caused Nicole and Rochelle to beat Melina up every week and said that Delancey never should've came to the WWE and messed with Randy Orton.
Lita's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.
"The following Divas' match is scheduled for one fall," Lillian Garcia announced. "Introducing first from Sanford, North Carolina, Lita."
Lita walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Then she stood waiting for Delancey to come out. Delancey's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with Nicole following her.
"And her opponent from Chesterfield, Missouri, Delancey Scott," Lillian announced.
Delancey was wearing a yellow midriff tank top and yellow pants. She and Nicole walked down the ramp and Delancey got into the ring. Delancey got in Lita's face as the referee called for the bell.
Delancey and Lita locked up and Lita was backed to the corner. They locked up again and Lita took Delancey down and they rolled around on the mat for a while. Delancey got a kick to the gut and some forearm shots but Lita sent Delancey to the outside. Lita followed out and hit a dropkick off the apron sending Delancey to the ground.
Lita stomped on Delancey's stomach a few times before Delancey caught Lita pushing her to the ground. Delancey then nailed a clothesline and sent Lita back inside and covered for a two count. Delancey hit a right hand and then some mounted punches on the canvas. Delancey worked over Lita's knee in the corner and Lita is hurt. Delancey stomped on Lita's knee in the corner. Lita went for her DDT, but Delancey threw her off. Delancey scored with the Dragonkick and made the cover for the win.
"Here is your winner, Delancey Scott," Lillian announced.
The referee raised Delancey's left arm in the air and Nicole gets in the ring with a microphone. Delancey takes it and said,
"Alright, everyone. I'm about to make an announcement. Melina, you say that you've been having problems because of me? You say that the reason you've been beaten up by Nicole Mitchell and Rochelle Kennedy is because of me? Let me make one thing perfectly clear. You brought this on yourself. You came onto Smackdown and not only did you and MNM ruin relationships and turn Divas into bitches, you lied, cheated, and stolen your way to get what you wanted. And you say if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have problems? You want your match at Wrestlemania? You got it. And Melina, not only will your problems won't go away, they will only get worse."
Delancey dropped the microphone and she and Nicole left the ring to the back as RAW went to a commercial.
Then it was time for the six-man tag-team match between John, Kane and the Big Show against Chris Masters, Carlito, and Triple H. Each man made their way to the ring and the referee called for the bell.
Big Show tossed Carlito to the corner and nailed him with a huge chop and then silenced the crowd and nailed another one. Big Show followed up with a head butt and then scored with another chop before tagging in Kane. Kane nailed an uppercut and then a big boot. Kane sent Carlito to the corner and hit a clothesline and then followed up with a side slam. Chris came in and was met with an uppercut and then Carlito raked the eyes and tagged in Triple H, but Kane tagged in John.
Triple H and John stared each other down and then the Triple H backed off and tagged in Carlito. John took Carlito down with a shoulder block and then a huge back drop. Chris came in and was met with a belly-to-belly suplex and then John stared at Triple H some more. Chris took John down from behind and stomped away on him and then Carlito nailed him with a suplex. Chris tagged in and hammered away on John and took him down with a delayed vertical.
Chris hit an elbow to the back and then tagged in Carlito. Carlito stomped away at John and then hammered away with right hands and covered for two. Carlito hit a flapjack and covered for another two. Carlito missed a splash in the corner and Big Show tagged in. Big Show hit a clothesline and then a side kick to Chris. Triple H came in and nailed a right hand but then Big Show nailed him with a headbutt.
Big Show hit a powerslam on Carlito for two when Chris broke the fall and then Kane came from the top with a clothesline on Chris and then sent him to the outside. Big Show pressslammed Triple H and then they went for a chokeslam but Chris and Carlito hit the ring with chair shots to Big Show and Kane. The two stalked Chris and Carlito up the aisle.
John is up in the ring and Triple H realizes that they are the only two left. As Nicole and Delancey got into the ring, John called Triple H into the ring and he got up onto the apron ready to attack but then, Randy Orton came from behind John and nailed him with an RKO! Triple H got in the ring to chase off Randy and Randy made his way through the crowd. Nicole and Delancey checked on John as Triple H looked down at the three and smiled.
In Nicole and Delancey's mind, this was Randy's way to get under both the girls' skin so they can stop messing with him. Nicole and Delancey swear to God that Randy was going to pay……big time.
