Chapter 23: Final Conflict?
Smackdown was in Houston, Texas and Dave was in his final Smackdown match against Umaga.
"Eddie's Angels" were in their locker room and Nicole was mostly moping on the floor as she writing an entry in her diary. Delancey and Rochelle noticed her behavior and decided to cheer her up.
"Nicole," Rochelle said, "are you all right? You've been acting weird all day."
"Yeah, I'm fine," Nicole said as she turned head and back.
"Nicole, I know you're still worried about the WWE Draft and Night of Champions," Delancey said, "but you shouldn't stress around them. I know you're also worried about John and Dave slugging it out one day and like I said.
"Remember you said something about the what ifs? What if this goes longer? Our friendship might never be the same and there could be tensions around us."
"Since when there was tension?"
"Um, not that I can think of."
"Exactly," Rochelle said as she had her hands on Nicole's shoulders, "so stop worrying."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll stop worrying."
"I gotta talk to Brittany. I'll be back."
Then Rochelle walked out of the Angels' locker room.
"Hey, Brit," Rochelle said.
"What's up?" Brittany said.
"So are you excited about being on Smackdown?"
"I couldn't be happier. I mean, like I said, it's a new environment and I get a chance at the Divas' championship. I'm starting to miss Kayla and Tina already. Those girls are my best friends."
"We're your best friends too. 'Eddie's Angels' aren't going anywhere yet so we'll still be around."
"Yeah, and another thing, shall I be worried about what Vickie Guerrero could do to me?"
"No, you're the Angels' equalizer; you need to keep us up to date of what's happening. Ulysses is here to watch us."
"Okay, just wondering."
Then ECW was on and it was time for the Extreme Rules match between Kofi Kingston and Shelton Benjamin.
Shelton's entrance theme played and the pyro went off as he came out from the curtain. Shelton walked down the ramp and leaped into the ring and then he got on the turnbuckle and raised his arms in the air. He got back down and Kofi's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Delancey following him. Delancey was wearing a green and yellow halter bikini top, green and yellow arm warmers, black pants, and her hair straight. Kofi clapped his hands as pyro set off at the ramp and he & Delancey walked down the ramp slapping hands of the fans and Delancey got into the ring. Then Kofi got on the turnbuckles clapping his hands pumping up the crowd as Shelton stared at Kofi and Kofi got into the ring. Then Kofi took off his jacket & pants and Delancey got out of the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Kofi and Shelton locked up and Shelton shoved Kofi to the corner and Kofi reacted with quick hands and Shelton got a knee to the midsection and shoved Kofi to the corner as Kofi got some punches. Then Kofi went to whip Shelton but Shelton reversed and hit a back elbow to the face and then Shelton hit another knee to the midsection and went for a vertical suplex but Kofi countered and got a European uppercut. Kofi went to whip Shelton but Shelton reversed and Kofi landed a flying clothesline and then Kofi leaped but Shelton ducked and Kofi hit his head on the ropes but Kofi got a dropkick sending Shelton out of the ring and then Kofi leaped over the rope and landed on Shelton. Then Shelton rammed Kofi's back on the ring apron and kicked him in the midsection and Shelton took Tony Chimmel's microphone and hit Kofi with it and then threw him into the ringside steps.
Then Shelton went under the ring, grabbed two trash cans, and threw them in the ring and also grabbed a steel chair and threw that in the ring and Shelton grabbed Kofi and threw him back in the ring. Then Shelton grabbed the chair and hit Kofi in the ribs and then Shelton got back in the ring and Kofi hit him in the midsection but Shelton kicked Kofi in the head and face and Shelton pressed Kofi in the air and then dropped him over his knee and went for the cover but Kofi had his foot over the bottom rope. Shelton grabbed the trash can and he hit Kofi with it and then Shelton dragged Kofi by the leg and stomped on him and then Shelton placed the trash can in the corner and Kofi came back with punches but Shelton raked Kofi in the eyes. Shelton grabbed a trash can and went to hit Kofi with it but Kofi grabbed Shelton's arms and Shelton kicked Kofi in the midsection and hit him with a trash can several times and suplexed him onto it.
Then Shelton punched Kofi in the face and kicked him and then he choked Kofi on the ropes with his foot and got Kofi in a bearhug on the waist as Delancey got in the ring and whacked Shelton in the back with a kendo stick. Kofi escaped with some back elbows and Shelton shoved him in the corner and splashed him and leaped into Kofi and went for another splash but Kofi came back with a shot with a trash can lid. Kofi did it again three times and Kofi climbed out of the ring and hit Shelton once more and then Delancey ran around the ring and hit Shelton in the head with a kendo stick. Kofi got back in the ring and grabbed a chair and Shelton begged for mercy and Kofi went to hit him but Shelton kicked him in the midsection and went for a powerbomb but Kofi reversed and flipped Shelton into a trash can in the corner then finished him with Trouble in Paradise for the win.
Then Delancey got in the ring and helped Kofi up and then the two raised their arms in the air along with the referee. Then Kofi climbed on the turnbuckle and raised his arms in the air as Delancey messed with Shelton a little placing her foot on him and then the two left the ring and walked up the ramp as Delancey blew the kiss of death at a unconscious Shelton on the mat.
Later, Smackdown was on and Brittany was going to be in an interview with Eve Torres.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, Smackdown Diva, Brittany Swanson," Eve said as Brittany came forward.
Brittany was wearing a red lace bustier, black miniskirt, black net stockings, black and red arm warmers, black boots, and her hair curled.
"Brittany, let me be the first to welcome you to Friday Night Smackdown," Eve said.
"Thank you, Eve," Brittany said. "I am so happy to be her along with my boyfriend Jeff Hardy and may I be the first to announce that Jeff Hardy will be making his appearance on Smackdown next week."
"Well, Brittany, what is also happening next week is that you're one of the participants in the Golden Dreams match for the chance to compete for the Divas Championship. Any thoughts?"
"Well, this is a great opportunity for me since I happen to be a former Women's Champion and if I were the one to capture that star on the pole, I would love to beat Natalya and show her that if you really mess with the best, then you'll go down like the rest."
Then Natalya came forward.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Brittany Swanson," Natalya said, "the Princess of Extreme. It's just too bad that you're no longer with the Chain Gang Diva Squad but it sucks that you're with 'Eddie's Angels.' I know everything about you; I know that you're a master at karate, dancing, gymnastics, and kickboxing; you were a Hardy Boyz fan when you were younger and you're hanging with the Hardys and dating Jeff Hardy. Wow! Let me give you one piece of advice: stay out of my way and stay out of my business."
"Hate to break it to you, Natalya," Brittany said. "The answer is no."
Then Brittany bumped on Natalya's shoulder and walked away with Natalya staring at her.
Later back at the arena, "Eddie's Angels" entrance theme played and they came out from the curtain with Ulysses following them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Ulysses and Nicole Mitchell, Delancey Scott, and the WWE Women's Champion Rochelle Kennedy, 'Eddie's Angels,'" Justin Roberts announced.
Nicole was wearing a black buttoned-down tube top with a black bow tied around the waist, denim jeans, a black headband with a picture of a bulldog on it, and her hair in a ponytail. Rochelle was wearing a black leather tie-back halter v-neck with black bow at the bust, black jeans, and her hair curled. And Delancey was wearing a black lace-up tube top, black miniskirt, black boot, and her hair in a bun.
The Angels and Ulysses walked down the ramp as the Angels were slapping hands of the fans and Ulysses got into the ring first as Delancey got on the apron and flipped into the ring. Then Nicole did Melina's ring entrance as Rochelle went around the ring, got up on the apron and posed, and got into the ring. The girls waved to the crowd as Rochelle asked for a microphone.
"So let's get this straight," Rochelle said. "Vickie Guerrero is throwing every boundary at every superstar she despises. Why? Mainly because of me because I'm always in the way because I'm unbeaten and two, because of Edge. But everytime she throws a curveball, we step in to make her life a living hell so she can get the hell out of the General Manager position of Smackdown."
"But she hasn't done that yet," Nicole said, "so the Board of Directors have renegotiated our terms of what 'Eddie's Angels" can do until Vickie Guerrero leaves or……Well, that part will be discussed at a more appropriate time."
Then Delancey pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket.
"Number one," Delancey said, "if 'Eddie's Angels' stand by a superstar or Diva in a match, they can interfere whenever they want to and the person will not get disqualified. That goes for Brittany and Ulysses and others, too. Two, 'Eddie's Angels' will not be fired, including individually and altogether also will not be banned from the arena in any program and that includes Brittany and Ulysses as well. Three, La Familia meaning Edge, the Edgeheads, I'm sorry, I mean, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, Bam Neely, and Chavo Guerrero, and other superstars associated with Vickie Guerrero will not lay a hand or finger on 'Eddie's Angels" and Brittany or they will be suspended indefinitely. And four, if Vickie Guerrero makes any harsh decision involving any superstar, Diva, announcer, or referee will have the choice of facing 'Eddie's Angels' in a three-on-one handicap match or be removed permanently from the WWE."
"Don't think we left out anything, Vickie, because there will be more amendments to that," Nicole said. "We gave you chance after chance to leave, but you still wanna play hardball. All these things you're doing will soon bite you in the ass very soon."
The Angels and Ulysses raised each other's arm in the air along with Ulysses and the four left the ring and walked up the ramp as Smackdown went to a commercial break.
Later, it was time for the match between Dave and Umaga.
Dave's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with "Eddie's Angels" and Ulysses following him. Dave had Edge's World Heavyweight Championship belt because of an altercation after Edge had words to say to newly drafted Smackdown star Triple H. The five walked down the ramp and got into the ring and Dave gave Rey Mysterio a big hug after Rey recently said his speech about leaving Smackdown and heading towards RAW.
This was at least a good thing for Rochelle now that she was returning to RAW along with Dave and have an opportunity to be a tag team partner with Rey.
Then Rey hugged "Eddie's Angels" and Ulysses who gave Rey a big hug as well lifting him up and then Rey left the ring as "Eddie's Angels" and Ulysses left the ring and stood outside. Then Umaga's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. Umaga walked down the ramp and banged on the steel steps as he got into the ring and the referee called for the bell.
Dave and Umaga circled around the ring and the two traded blows before Umaga pushed Dave to the ropes and hit a back elbow and then Umaga went to sit on Dave but Dave moved out of the way and Dave kicked Umaga in the midsection and went for the Batista Bomb but Umaga countered with a back bodydrop. Then Umaga clocked Dave in the head and headbutted him and bounced off the ropes for a splash for a two count and Umaga got Dave to sit up and kicked him in the head and as Dave reached the ropes.
Umaga stomped on him and Dave came back with punches but Umaga got a big one and hit his head on the turnbuckle. Umaga whipped Dave to the corner hitting his back hard and he locked in the nerve hold on the trapezius of Dave and Dave came back with a jawbreaker and punches and he bounced off the ropes for a two count and Umaga dropkicked him. Dave was staggering as Umaga stomped on him and Umaga kicked Dave in the back and locked in the nerve hold on the trapezius again. Dave came back with forearms and he picked up Umaga but Umaga's weight fell on him for a two count.
Umaga shoved Dave to the corner and hit a few punches and he whipped Dave to the corner and charged into Dave's boot. Umaga went for a splash but his head hit the ring post and then Dave splashed onto Umaga and did it again and he went to whip Umaga but Umaga reversed and Dave kicked him in the face and he then ran into a spinebuster from Dave.
Then La Familia interfered as Curt and Zack were hitting Dave and Edge ran to the announcers' table and grabbed the World Heavyweight Championship belt. Then Edge bailed as Ulysses got into the ring and threw off Chavo, Curt, and Zack and Umaga tossed Ulysses out of the ring. Umaga then kicked Dave in the head as La Familia stomped on Dave and Umaga pushed them away so he could finish the job. Then he dragged Dave in the corner and got a butt splash on Dave and La Familia dragged Dave to the middle of the mat and as Umaga went for a top-rope splash, Ulysses was about to go into the ring as Triple H made the save. He, Dave, and Ulysses fought off everyone in the ring and then Ulysses tossed Edge and Chavo out of the ring and then Curt took a Pedigree and Zack took a Batista Bomb. Then Triple H ripped his shirt off as "Eddie's Angels" got into the ring and Rochelle checked on Dave and everyone stared at Edge as Smackdown came to a close.
