Chapter 21: The Angels' Way or Highway to Heaven
Smackdown was in San Jose, California and Dave was facing Chavo Guerrero.
At the arena, Delancey was talking to Bobby on her cell phone.
"So, what are you gonna do about your birthday next month?" Delancey said.
"I don't know," Bobby said. "What do you think?"
"Maybe all of us could come to Colorado Springs and throw a big birthday bash. I mean, you deserve a break since you've been training a lot of MMA.
"That sounds good."
"Yeah, how about we talk about it some more? I gotta go.
"Alright, I'll talk to you later."
"Bye, sweetie."
Then Delancey ended the call and walked back to "Eddie's Angels" locker room.
"So, Delancey," Rochelle said, "who were you talking to?"
"Bobby," Delancey said.
"Oh, yeah, Bobby," Nicole said as Delancey sat down on the floor. "What were you talking about?"
"Just stuff and his birthday coming up in a month."
"Oh, how exciting," Rochelle said. "Oh, I just thought of something."
"What?" Nicole said.
"My husband is pushing 40 next January and I'll be 27 in September."
"So, the thirteen-year age difference didn't matter when you first met Dave," Delancey said, "and besides, you would still think he's hot even when he turns 40."
"Yeah, look at George Clooney and Richard Gere, hello," Nicole said.
"Yeah, you're right," Rochelle said. "I feel like I'm in that sugar daddy stage, but it's nothing like that, really."
"Unlike the cougar stage as to Vickie Guerrero marrying Edge," Delancey said.
"Eew," the Angels said.
"Don't mention that," Nicole said. "Oh, my God."
"What?" Rochelle said.
"You know, the WWE Draft is this coming Monday and you don't wanna hear what I have to say."
"What?" Delancey said.
"What if somehow John gets drafted to Smackdown and Dave stays there or what if Dave gets drafted to RAW and John stays there? I mean, Night of Champions is the Sunday after the draft and it could get complicated if both become the champion."
"What are you saying, Nicole? That might not happen."
"We don't know that. If they face each other, it's collateral damage waiting to happen; something that might break up 'Eddie's Angels' and Vickie wants that to happen."
"It's not going to happen, okay? We've been through crap like this before over just a short period of time and it didn't affect our friendship. That's why friendship is more important than finding out who's the better man or who's the champion. And Vickie can say whatever the hell she wants. It wouldn't matter."
"Delancey's right," Rochelle said. "No matter what the outcome, 'Eddie's Angels' will not falter. We've come this far for a possible situation to break up the best thing that's ever happened to us. Eddie would want us to stick together through thick and thin."
"You're right, you're absolutely right," Nicole said. "Alright, let's think positive and figure out how we're gonna crash Vickie and Edge's wedding."
Then the Angels laughed.
A little later, "Eddie's Angels" and Brittany were walking down the hallway and when they reached Theodore Long's office, Rochelle knocked on the door.
"Come in," a voice said from inside.
Then "Eddie's Angels" walked inside and 2007 Diva Search contestant Taryn Terrell, now known as Tiffany, was inside the office.
"Um, excuse me," Rochelle said. "Who are you?"
"I'm Tiffany," Tiffany said. "I'm Theodore Long's assistant."
"Oh, that's right," Delancey said. "I almost forgot. It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too. You're 'Eddie's Angels,' right?"
"That's us," Nicole said. "You know, I bet it's awesome to work with Teddy Long, isn't it?"
"It is." Then there was a knock at the door. "Come in."
Then Shelton Benjamin walked inside the office and straight towards Delancey staring at her.
"What?" Delancey said.
"You must really like to embarrass me, huh?" Shelton said. "You just can't seem to get over what happened over two years ago, huh? You are a real piece of work, Delancey, a real piece of work."
"You know what, Shelton?" Nicole said. "Why don't you do Delancey a favor. Stop spreading those vicious rumors that she and Kofi Kingston are more than just friends and apologize like a man, or maybe you're still a mama's boy?"
"And by the way," Brittany said, "that hair of yours, you look like a goose that laid a golden egg?"
Then the girls laughed as Shelton walked out of the office.
Later "Eddie's Angels" were storming down the hallway because Vickie Guerrero made another crazy decision.
She was talking with WWE referee Charles Robinson and Vickie said that she's been reviewing his past performance and expects fairness from him. Vickie mentioned he was unbiased at Wrestlemania 24 when he was trying to help the Undertaker win the World Heavyweight Championship, then at Judgment Day when he illegally tried to give the Undertaker the World Heavyweight Championship, and just now, he kicked Chavo Guerrero out from ringside because he interfered in Bam Neely's debut match against Matt Hardy. Charles tried to defend his actions but Vickie didn't want to hear and she put him in the match against the Great Khali
When "Eddie's Angels" reached Vickie's office, they bursted inside and Vickie was there with Edge.
"What do you want, Angels?" Vickie said.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Rochelle said. "You're putting a referee in a match against the Great Khali all because he was doing his job, in a fair way. Have you lost your mind?"
"You know what, Vickie?" Nicole said. "You are the one that's full of it but you need to remember who's really in charge because we just got a call from the Board of Directors."
"Yep, and they said if Charles Robinson is not removed from the match against the Great Khali, you have the choice of facing us in a three-on-one handicap match or be removed permanently from the WWE."
"If you choose to face us in the three-on-one handicap match," Rochelle said, "nobody shall interfere in the match."
Then Vickie hung her head low.
"I hope you girls will in hell," Vickie said. "If I have to face you girls tonight, then you'll be very, very sorry."
"Ooh, I see you have your point," Delancey said.
"You better be ready," Nicole said.
Then the Angels left the office.
Later, "Eddie's Angels" were walking down the hallway ready for their three-on-one handicap match and then they spotted Maryse and walked up to her.
"Maryse, Maryse, Maryse," Rochelle said, "it looks like your boy-toys are no longer bosom buddies…….thanks to you."
Deuce and Domino were facing the tag team of Jesse & Festus and during the match, Deuce and Domino were arguing and brawling all through the match and they lost before Domino had the last word of kicking Deuce in the face.
"You see," Delancey said, "that's what happens when homewreckers get in the way and you know we don't like homewreckers."
"So, Maryse," Nicole said, "what are you gonna do now? It looks like your tramp ass is out in the cold and um, I do believe you owe Cherry an apology."
"Yeah, Cherry's better off without her brother and her now ex-boyfriend so to speak," Delancey said, "and you are responsible for Deuce and Domino breaking up."
"What's wrong, Maryse?" Rochelle said. "Nothing to say?"
Then Maryse walked away without saying a work.
"Yeah, she's nothing but a whore anyway," Delancey said.
"Come on, let's go," Nicole said.
Then the Angels walked away.
Then back at the arena, "Eddie's Angels" entrance theme played and they came out from the curtain.
"The following is a three-on-one handicap match scheduled for one fall," Justin Roberts announced. "Introducing first, the team of Nicole Mitchell, Delancey Scott, and the WWE Women's Champion Rochelle Kennedy."
Nicole was wearing a metallic silver spaghetti strap halter midriff top with the words "Never back down..." on the front and "Never say quit!!" on the back, denim jeans, the Chain Gang Wristbands, and her hair in pigtails. Delancey was wearing a metallic silver bustier, metallic silver pants, and her hair straight. Rochelle was wearing a silver bustier, black see-through attached top, denim mini-miniskirt, black stockings and her hair curled. The Angels walked down the ramp slapping hands of the fans and Delancey got on the apron and flipped into the ring as Nicole did Melina's ring entrance and Rochelle went around the ring, got up on the apron and posed, and got into the ring. The Angels then got on the turnbuckles and raised their arms in the air and they got back down as Vickie Guerrero came out from the curtain and Chavo Guerrero.
"And their opponent, Vickie Guerrero," Justin announced.
Vickie and Chavo walked down the ramp and Vickie got out of her wheelchair and was led inside the ring by Chavo as the referee ordered Chavo to go to the back as ordered by the Board of Directors. Then Chavo walked back up the ramp upset as the Angels smiled and waved good-bye as the referee called for the bell.
Then the Angels huddled together to decide who was gonna start the match and then Delancey and Rochelle left the ring. Nicole walked up to Vickie who backed into the corner feeling shaken up and Nicole smiled at Vickie and she slapped her in the face sending her down on the mat. Vickie was crying as Nicole made the tag to Delancey and Delancey hopped over to Vickie, picked her up by the hair, and tossed her across the ring. Then Delancey made the tag to Rochelle and she stood on Vickie's hair and pulled her up and then Rochelle grabbed Vickie's legs and applied the figure four leglock and Vickie had no choice but to tap out.
"Here are your winners, Nicole Mitchell, Delancey Scott, and the WWE Women's Champion Rochelle Kennedy, 'Eddie's Angels,'" Justin announced.
Then Nicole and Delancey got into the ring and the Angels raised each other's arm in the air along with the referee and they got on the turnbuckles and raised their arms in the air. Then they got back down as they stared at Vickie and "Eddie's Angels" made fun of her as Smackdown went to a commercial break.
Later, it was time for the match between Dave and Chavo Guerrero.
Dave's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with "Eddie's Angels" and Ulysses following him. Nicole was wearing a red, green, and white varsity midriff baseball top with "E's As 54" on it, denim jeans, and the Chain Gang wristbands. Delancey was wearing a Mexico backless top and red pants. Rochelle was wearing a red lace asymmetrical tank top and black leather pants with green bows tied at the thighs. Dave did his thing with the pyro with Rochelle kneeling in front of him & Nicole, Delancey, and Ulysses behind him and Rochelle got back up and the five walked down the ramp. "Eddie's Angels" & Ulysses stood outside of the ring as Dave got on the turnbuckles and flexed his muscles and he got back down.
"Excuse me," Vickie said as she came out from the curtain in her wheelchair with Chavo Guerrero and Bam Neely following her. "Excuse me, Batista, can I have a moment, please? Charles Robinson was supposed to be your referee tonight, but obviously, he is no condition to be here. So I assigned a special guest referee…...excuse me, excuse me! I have something to say. Batista, I have assigned a special guest referee. Now if you so much lay a hand on this official, you will lose your opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions. So please allow me to introduce to you, your special guest referee, Edge.
Then Edge's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain wearing a referee shirt on and Vickie clapped as Edge shook hands with Chavo. Then the two walked down the ramp as Rochelle asked for a microphone and said,
"Oh, hold up, hold up, hold up, wait a minute." Then Rochelle got inside the ring. "I almost forgot. You see, 'Eddie's Angels' knew that Charles Robinson was supposed to referee this match and we talked to the Board of Directors about a slight adjustment to this match. If Dave does lay a hand on Edge and loses his World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions, then Edge forfeits his World Heavyweight Title. How about that? And another thing, 'Eddie's Angels' and Ulysses can interfere in this match and Dave will not be disqualified. I told you who was really in charge but you didn't listen."
Then Rochelle left the ring and Edge & Chavo walked down to the ring with stunned looks on their faces and Chavo took his shirt and headband off and stared at Rochelle. Edge begins to lay down the law to Dave and then Chavo and then Dave and Chavo circled around the ring and Dave bumps into Edge who got into the way on purpose and that allows Chavo to get a headlock. Dave got Chavo off making him bounce off the ropes and takes him down and Chavo takes a breather on the ropes and Edge has some words for Dave and immediately Dave takes Chavo to the corner and started landing some shoulderblocks and a back elbow and then he whips Chavo off the ropes into a charging back elbow. Dave applies a wristlock and then he clubs Chavo on the arm before taking him to the corner on the rope and Edge lays the count on Dave.
Bam Neely distracts Dave and backs away as Ulysses went after him and Chavo kicks Dave in the midsection and hits his head on the turnbuckle and hit some right hands. Then Chavo climbs on the top rope and Chavo mounts a few right hand and Dave tosses Chavo off and then Dave got a vertical suplex into a jackhammer and Dave covers as Edge counts very slowly. Dave then hits a snapmare and as he bounces off the ropes, Edge trips him up and Chavo attacks him and got some right hands to Dave. He chokes him out on the middle rope and Edge backs off Chavo only for Bam to choke out Dave and Ulysses goes after Bam again as Chavo grabs Dave and the two trade rights and Dave sends Chavo to the corner and charges into a boot.
Then Chavo climbs up for a crossbody but he gets caught and Edge pulls Chavo onto Dave and does a quick count for two and Chavo clubs Dave in the back and stomps on him. Then Chavo gets an uppercut and cover for a fast count of two and Chavo kicks Dave in the back and gets a half nelson and chinlock combo and then into the headlock. Dave fights back with elbow shots and bounces off the ropes into a dropkick by Chavo for another fast count at two and Chavo hits Dave and he goes to whip Dave off the ropes but Dave reverses and gets a backdrop and then charges to a corner clothesline and another. Then Dave hits a powerslam and Dave powers up as Curt Hawkins pulls him to the floor and Dave chases him as Curt was met by a huge clothesline by Ulysses and Edge counts Dave out super fast.
Batista was pissed and so was "Eddie's Angels" as Ulysses got into the ring and takes out Chavo and Edge with the meeting of the minds. Then Dave got into the ring and got a spinebuster on Chavo as Bam got into the ring and got a boot to the face as Edge bailed out of the ring. Then Ulysses grabbed Bam as Edge backed up the ramp and then he landed the Trojan Horse as Dave grabbed Chavo and landed the Batista Bomb. Then "Eddie's Angels" got into the ring and the three including Dave and Ulysses stared at Edge and Vickie with smiles on their faces as Smackdown came to a close.
After Smackdown was over, Dave and Rochelle were in their hotel room making love on the couch and Rochelle definitely got the hang of it since she was sitting on Dave's lap doing most of the work.
"Oh, my God," Rochelle said as she had her head on Dave's shoulder. "Making love to you always gets me excited."
"Oh, really?" Dave said.
"Yeah, I mean, you're the only man in my life that satisfies my every need and I'm lucky to have you."
"I'm lucky to have you."
"You know, I didn't wanna bring this up, but you know that the WWE Draft is coming, right?"
"Well, you know last year, I was drafted to RAW and it was kind of difficult for me because you weren't with me."
"Yeah, well, maybe, this year you won't get drafted back to RAW."
"Well, that's the thing. With me, being the Women's Champion, there's also gonna be a Divas Championship and that could be complicated. But there's another thing: Nicole, Delancey, and I had a talk and Nicole fears that somehow John gets drafted to Smackdown and you stays there or what if you're drafted to RAW and John stays there. She said also it's collateral damage waiting to happen; something that might break up 'Eddie's Angels' and Vickie wants that to happen."
"Oh, well, Nicole shouldn't worry about anything and of course, you know, she's sensitive about certain things. Besides, I wouldn't want 'Eddie's Angels' to break up and neither would John.:
"Well, Delancey said we've dealt with this before over just a short period of time and it didn't affect our friendship. I don't want it to happen again as much as Nicole doesn't."
"Hey, let's not try to think about that before Monday as we have six more days."
"Yeah."
Then Dave and Rochelle kissed each other passionately as they began to make love again.
