NOTE: Sorry about the delay. Work and school is taking up so much of my time but I'm cutting down on my work hours so I can relax more.
Chapter 24: Night of Champions
Night of Champions was in Dallas, Texas and Nicole, Kayla, and Tina were walking down the hallway at the arena until they found Kimberly Montgomery talking to Buffy.
"Hey, Kimberly," Nicole said.
"Oh, hi, Nicole," Kimberly said. "Kayla, Tina."
"Hi," Tina said.
"Buffy, could give us a moment with Kimberly alone?"
"Okay," Buffy said and then she walked away.
"So what's up?" Kimberly said.
"Well, as you know," Nicole said. "Brittany is going to Smackdown now that Jeff Hardy has been drafted."
"And we need a new member of the Chain Gang Squad since we're short one member," Tina said, "so John gave us the okay to pick any Diva and we needed someone with potential and we actually picked you."
"You seem to have that potential and we know you haven't wrestled in a while," Kayla said, "so what do you say?"
"I mean, after all," Nicole said, "this is your hometown of Dallas, Texas."
"Wow, I don't know what to say," Kimberly said, "I've always wanted to be part of the Chain Gang Diva Squad."
"Then you'll accept our offer?" Tina said.
"Well, okay."
"Great!"
"Come on," Nicole said. "Let's go find John and tell him."
Then the girls walked away.
Later, Night of Champions was on and it was time for the World Tag Team Championship which was Brent and Ryan of the Boyz in Motion versus Ted DiBiase and his mystery partner.
"This next match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the World Tag Team Championship," Lillian announced as the Boyz in Motion's entrance theme played and they came out from the curtain with Delancey following them. "Introducing first being accompanied by Delancey Scott, Jason Straham, and Jeremy Schwartz, in a combined weight of 530 pounds, representing the Boyz in Motion, they are the World Tag Team Champions Brent Knox and Ryan Knox," Lillian announced.
Delancey was wearing a pink and black corset midriff tank top, black pants, black lace hand warmers, and her hair straight. The five walked down the ramp slapping the hands of the fans and the boys surrounded the ring, got on the apron first, and leaped into the ring. Then Delancey got on the apron and she did her flip to get into the ring as the boys got on the turnbuckle, raised their arms in the air, and got back down at the same time. Then Ted DiBiase's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain.
"And introducing the challengers, first from West Palm Beach Florida, weighing in at 235 pounds, Ted DiBiase," Lillian announced.
Ted walked down the ramp and got into the ring and then he got on the turnbuckles showing off the crowd and got back down.
"And introducing his tag team partner……" Lillian announced.
Then Ted took the microphone and said,
"Um, there's a little problem. You see, my partner just texted me and he is on his way. But if we can just wait ten minutes……" Then the referee told him no. "What do you mean we can't wait? Can we reschedule this match for later on tonight?" Then the referee said, "No way." "Then what am I supposed to do? Forfeit? No, no, don't forfeit this match, please. If we can go ahead and start the match, my partner will be here, I promise."
Then Delancey, Jason, Jeremy, and Brent left the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Then Cody Rhodes came into the ring from out of nowhere and then kicked Ryan and landed a DDT as the referee called for the bell.
Cody then smiled and laughed as the rest of the Boyz in Motion barged into the ring and chased Cody out of the ring and then Cody joined Ted as they went around the ring to the ramp.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my partner Cody Rhodes," Ted said. "I'm sorry, were you expecting someone else? It just so happened that Cody had to take care of some real business meaning……Hardcore Holly……and that is priceless."
Then the Boyz in Motion and Delancey stared at Ted and Cody as the two raised their arms in the air.
A few minutes later, Delancey and the Boyz in Motion were walking down the hallway until they reached the locker room and went inside. Hardcore Holly was in there and he was in pain and everyone figured he got jumped from behind by Cody before the World Tag Team Championship match.
"We are sorry this happened to you," Delancey said. "We didn't have a single clue Ted would pick Cody and especially had no idea that they attack you."
"Yeah, but don't you worry," Jason said. "We got this situation taken care of."
"You can count on us," Jeremy said.
"Thanks, I appreciate it," Holly said.
Then Jason slapped hands with Hardcore Holly and the boys & Delancey left the locker room.
A little later, it was time for the Women's Championship match which was Rochelle versus Katie Lea Burchill.
How this match came out was that ever since Katie made those nasty comments to Rochelle about her "sleeping with Dave to make her way to the top," it has gotten personal and Rochelle has already defended the Women's Championship successfully twice against Katie.
"This next match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the WWE Women's Championship," Lillian Garcia as Paul Burchill's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Katie following him. "Introducing the challenger being accompanied by Paul Burchill from Chelsea, England, Katie Lea."
Katie and Paul walked down the ramp and Paul got in the ring as Katie climbed on the apron onto the turnbuckle and she posed along with Paul before going down in the ring. Then Rochelle's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with Nicole and Delancey following her.
"And her opponent being accompanied by Nicole Mitchell and Delancey Scott, representing 'Eddie's Angels' from Jacksonville, Florida, she is the WWE's Women Champion, Rochelle Kennedy," Lillian announced.

The Angels walked down the ramp slapping hands of the fans and Nicole & Delancey got into the ring as Rochelle went around the ring, got up on the apron and posed, and got into the ring. Then Rochelle got on the turnbuckles and raised her Women's Title belt in the air and she got back down as Rochelle gave her belt to the referee and he raised in the air and showed it to Katie as Paul, Nicole, and Delancey got out of the ring and the referee called for the bell.

Katie then bailed out of the ring before Rochelle grabbed her hair and Katie was able to escape and Katie got back in the ring and clubbed Rochelle in the back and twisted her arm and got a suplex in which Rochelle landed on her shoulder. Then Katie kicked Rochelle and stretched Rochelle's arm to kick at it and then Katie stretched Rochelle's arm on the middle rope and Katie charged at Rochelle but Rochelle got a back elbow and went for a headscissors but Katie blocked and got a knee to the midsection and ran her into the ringpost hitting Rochelle's shoulder.

Rochelle charged at Katie but Katie landed a forearm on Rochelle's shoulder and got an implant DDT for a two count. Then Katie kicked at Rochelle in the corner and the referee asked Rochelle if she can continue as Nicole and Delancey checked on her. Then Katie landed a couple of forearms before the referee pulled her away and Katie whipped Rochelle to the corner and charged into Rochelle's boot to the face. Then Rochelle got a back elbow and Rochelle came back with a headscissors on Katie and then got a few flying clotheslines and then Rochelle went to whip Katie but Katie blocked and missed a kick and Rochelle kicked Katie in the midsection and got a snapmare.

"Here is your winner and still the WWE Women's Champion, Rochelle Kennedy," Lillian announced.
Then Rochelle grabbed her shoulder as the referee raised her arm in the air and Nicole & Delancey got in the ring to check on her. Then Rochelle stared at Katie and Paul as the referee gave her the Women's Title belt and the Angels left the ring and walked up the ramp as Rochelle turned around and raised her Women's Title belt in the air. Then the Angels went to the back.
"Geez, Rochelle, are you all right?" Nicole said.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Rochelle said. "I guess I better watch out for those Burchills, huh?"
"Yeah, Katie Lea sure did a number on you," Delancey said. "Are you sure your shoulder is okay?"
"Yeah, I probably need some ice."
"Come on, we got a new World Heavyweight Champion to crown," Nicole said.
Then the Angels walked away.
A few minutes later, it was time for the World Heavyweight Championship match which was Dave versus Edge.
Edge's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain and raised his WWE World Heavyweight Title belt in the air as the pyro went off. Then he walked down the ramp and slid into the ring and he got one of the turnbuckles and hung his head low and raised his arms in the air. Then he got back down as Dave's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with "Eddie's Angels" and Ulysses following him. Rochelle was wearing a red midriff top with a golden dragon and Chinese symbols, black chaps, red boyshorts, black net stockings, and black hand warmers. 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 in the ring and Edge bailed to the outside and Dave was on the turnbuckles and flexed his muscles and he got back down as Edge got back inside the ring.
"Introducing first from Washington D.C., weighing in at 290 pounds, Batista," Justin Roberts announced. "And his opponent from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 250 pounds, he is the current World Heavyweight Champion, the Rated R Superstar, Edge."
Then Edge gave his title belt to the referee and he raised it up in the air and called for the bell.
Dave and Edge locked up and Dave shoved Edge down and Edge went to the ropes before they circled around the ring and locked up as Edge got a headlock on Dave. Then Dave shoved Edge to the ropes and Dave took Edge down and Edge went to the corner to regroup before the two circled around the ring and locked up again and then Dave threw Edge out of the ring and chased him around until Edge got in the ring but Dave grabbed his leg and Edge kicked him off. Then Edge went for a baseball slide but Dave moved and hit Edge's head on the turnbuckle and onto the security wall before throwing him back into the ring. Then Dave whipped Edge to the ropes and got a back elbow for a two count and took Edge down with a couple of knees and then Dave whipped Edge to the corner hard before covering for a one count.
Then Dave got Edge to sit up before bouncing off the ropes and kicking him in the face and then Dave got a jackhammer suplex for a two count and Dave whipped Edge to the ropes but Edge held on and Dave clotheslined Edge over the top rope. Then Dave got Edge back in the ring and as Dave went to re-enter the ring, Edge kicked him in the head and Edge threw Batista into a ringpost and Rochelle ran over to check on Dave and as Dave went to re-enter the ring, Edge got a baseball slide sending Dave over the ECW announce table. Then Delancey and Nicole got on the apron and yelled at Edge and Edge bitched at the Angels as Dave got back in the ring, Edge kicked him in the head and stomped on him before Dave tried to get up and Edge choked him on the middle rope.
Then Edge bounced off the ropes and got a couple of knees to the back and then Edge got out of the ring and was punching Dave twice before he got on the apron and got an elbow drop sending Dave to the floor. Edge got back in the ring as Dave was staggering to get up and then as Dave got on the apron, Edge went after him and Dave got a couple of shoulderblocks and got back in the ring with a couple of right hands and then Edge got a drop toe hold and an elbow drop to the back of the head. Then Edge bounced off the ropes and got a swinging neckbreaker for a two count and applied a long chinlock before Dave got to his feet and ran Edge's back to the corner and Dave charged before Edge got a drop toe hold making Dave's head hit the turnbuckle.

Dave whipped Edge to another corner and went for a clothesline but Edge moved and he bounced off the ropes and Dave gave Edge a sidewalk slam leading to a near fall.
Then Dave whipped Edge to the ropes and Edge kicked Dave in the face and Edge bounced off the ropes and Dave got a spear for a very close near fall. The Angels were shocked as Dave set up for a Batista Bomb but Edge countered clubbing Dave in the back of the head and Edge bounced off the ropes and Dave then powerslammed Edge. Then Dave shook the top rope, got the thumbs down, and set up for a Batista Bomb but Edge escaped and got an impaler DDT for a near fall and when Edge went for a spear, Dave caught him with a boot to the face and then Batista climbed to the top rope and leaped as Edge caught him with a dropkick. As the two men struggled to get up, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder came out from the curtain wheeling Vickie Guerrero to the ring to cheer on Edge and the Angels and Ulysses kept a lookout as Edge set up another spear, but Dave leapfrogged it and Edge went into the corner hard and then Batista hit the Batista Bomb.
As the referee made the count, Vickie got out of the wheelchair and yanked the referee away and the Angels went after Vickie as Curt and Zack got in her way and Ulysses came forward and Edge charged at Dave but Dave side-stepped it and sent Edge into the ringpost. As the referee was about to count Edge out, Edge pulled the referee out of the ring and clotheslined him and Ulysses went after Edge but…...
"Wait, wait, wait," Vickie said, "send me another referee, send me another one. There should be another one."
Chavo Guerrero's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain wearing the referee shirt with Bam Neely following him. Dave then grabbed Vickie and lifted her into the ring by her head and he threatened her as La Familia protested and Dave pressed Vickie in the air and tossed her onto La Familia.
Then Katie Lea Burchill, Jillian Hall, Layla, Beth Phoenix, Maryse, Victoria, Natayla, Umaga, and the Great Khali came out of nowhere and attacked Ulysses and the Angels as Edge hit Dave with the World Heavyweight Title belt and Chavo entered the ring and counted to three for Edge to win.
La Familia and Vickie Guerrero quickly skipped out from ringside and hightailed to the back and so did the Divas, Umaga, and the Great Khali as the Angels and Ulysses were laying flat on the floor. Rochelle got ran into the steel steps hitting her shoulder thanks to Beth Phoenix and Victoria and she slowly got into the ring grabbing her shoulder and checked on Dave who was slowly recovering in the ring. Rochelle cradled Dave in her lap and looked around to figure what the hell just happened.
A few minutes later back in "Eddie's Angels" locker room, there was a knock at the door and Brittany grabbed a kendo stick.
"Who is it?" Brittany said.
"It's Michelle," Michelle McCool said from outside.
Brittany opened the door and Michelle, Kayla, and Kimberly were helping the Angels get inside the locker room as Brittany peeked outside to see Mickie James, Maria, Kelly Kelly, Tina, and the Boyz in Motion keeping a lookout with Ulysses.
"Here you go," Michelle said as she helped Nicole sit down on the couch.
"Do you need anything?" Kayla said.
"No," Nicole said as she was breathing. "Thank you for helping us."
"Is Ulysses gonna be all right?" Kimberly said.
"Don't worry about him," Delancey said. "As far as he's concerned, there is gonna be some serious ass-kicking."
"Okay, let us know if you need anything," Kayla said.
"Thanks," Rochelle said.
Then Kayla, Kimberly, and Michelle left the locker room.
"Oh, my God, are you guys all right?" Brittany said.
"Yeah, we're all right," Delancey said. "It looks Vickie Guerrero has somehow convinced some of the Divas to jump us because she's tired of us. And Umaga and the Great Khali? That's a bigger problem."
"Or maybe the WWE Board of Directors let you girls get away with everything and that's when she snapped," Brittany said. "Now everyone's on high alert."
"Well, what just happened was their very first clue," Nicole said.
"And it's that time we call in some reinforcements that way everyone including the Divas will really be on high alert," Rochelle said.
"Who are you gonna call?" Brittany said.
"Oh, we got some very good contacts and the bitches won't see them coming because if this is the way that the Divas want it, it's gonna cost them, big time."
"Okay, let's not think about that anymore," Nicole said. "I wanna see my husband win the WWE Championship. Hopefully, that will make me feel better."
Then Brittany turned on the TV and it was time for the WWE Championship match which was John versus Triple H.
John's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Tina, Kimberly, and Kayla following him.
Tina was wearing a pink strapless foil resist print mini dress with a rhinestone buckle centered at the bust and peacock feather print and her hair curled. Kayla was wearing a black tube top with a silver concho on the side, black pants with a silver concho on the side, and her short hair flipped. Kimberly was wearing a blue butterfly tie-back top, black pleated miniskirt, black boots, and her hair curled.
The four walked down the ramp and they got inside the ring and John as he was pumping himself up. Then John raised his arms in the air and took off his black and orange "Hustle, Loyalty, Respect" baseball cap and his 8-bit t-shirt and threw it to the crowd. Triple H's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain. He walks down the ramp to the apron of the ring and did his usual thing and then he got into the ring and got on the turnbuckles and raised his arms in the air. Then Triple H stared at John got back down.
"Introducing first the challenger from West Newbury, Massachusetts weighing in at 240 pounds, John Cena," Lillian announced. "And from Greenwich, Connecticut weighing in at 255 pounds, he is the WWE Champion, Triple H."
Then John took off his dog tags and gave them to the referee and Triple H gave his WWE Title belt to the referee and he raised it up in the air and called for the bell.
John and Triple H circled around the ring and they locked up and Triple H got John in a headlock before John shoved Triple H to the ropes and Triple H got a shouldertackle. John stared at Triple H and they circled around the ring and locked up again and John & Triple H switched back and forth until Triple H got John in a headlock before John shoved Triple H to the ropes again and Triple H got another shouldertackle. Then Triple H bounced off the ropes and John went for an armdrag but Triple H blocked and reversed with an armdrag of his own and John went to the ropes as Triple H did the DX Chop in front of him. John and Triple H locked up and Triple H got John in another headlock before John escaped the hold and reversed to get a headlock of his own and Triple H shoved John to the ropes and John continued the hold as he got Triple H on the mat.
Triple H got to his feet and got John to the ropes and John still got the hold as Triple H got a couple of punches and shoved John to the ropes and John got a shouldertackle and John bounced off the ropes and went for an armdrag but Triple H blocked and John got a short-arm clothesline. Then John did the salute in front of Triple H and Triple H pushed John to the ropes and John got a spear and hammered away at Triple H as John continued with right hands to the corner and John whipped Triple H to another corner and kicked him in the midsection before getting a fisherman's suplex for a two count. Then John whipped Triple H to the ropes and Triple H kicked John in the face and got a couple of right hands before he whipped John to the ropes and missed a clothesline and John got a flying shouldertackle and he bounced off the ropes and went for a splash but Triple H moved.
John rolled out of the ring to the floor and Triple H followed and he rammed John's back to the ring apron and got John back in the ring before got a knee to John's back. Triple H got another knee to the back and then he got a side slam with a knee to John's back and got a suplex before landing a couple of elbow drops. Then Triple H whipped John hard to the corner and Triple H stood over John until Triple H whipped him hard to the corner again and covered for a nearfall. Then Triple H hit John's head on the turnbuckle but John got a couple of right hands before Triple H got a few of his own and John got the advantage before whipping Triple H to the corner and charged but Triple H got both feet to John's face. Then Triple H climbed on the turnbuckle and went for a fistdrop but John got his leg up and kicked Triple H in the face and Triple H was staggering as John bounced off the rope and got a couple of shouldertackles and a sitout hiptoss.
Then John was about to do the "You can't see me" but Triple H kicked John away from him and John got a big right hand and went to whip Triple H but Triple H reversed and missed a right hand and Triple H got a high knee and got a few right hands and he went to whip John but John reversed and Triple H got a facecrusher. Then Triple H went for a Pedigree but John kicked Triple H in the midsection and got a running neck snap and he climbed the turnbuckle and got a legdrop to the back of Triple H's neck. Then John went for the STFU but Triple H kicked John off and got a sitout hiptoss before doing the "You can't see me" but Triple H got a high knee and delivered the spinebuster and Triple H was stalking John and as he went for the Pedigree, John escaped and threw Triple H over the top rope to the floor. Triple H hurt his knee on the landing and he was staggering trying to get back into the ring and John went after Triple H at ringside clipping him from behind and then dropping his legs on the ringside steps.
Then John threw Triple H back into the ring and he yanked his leg around the ringpost and John got back into the ring and John got out of the ring and hit Triple H's leg on the ringpost again and John went back into the ring and went for an STFU, but Triple H reached the bottom rope quickly. Then John got a chopblock from behind on Triple H's leg and dragged him in the middle of the ring for the STFU but Triple H kicked him off and John grabbed Triple H's legs again and tried to turn him around but John still held onto Triple H's legs and tried to lock in for the STFU but Triple H reached the bottom rope for John to break the hold. When John went for an FU, Triple H slipped out and kicked John in the midsection and went for a Pedigree and got it and Triple H clutched his injured knee and he rolled over for a cover, but John kicked out before three.
The two were on the mat and when they finally returned to their feet, John went for the FU and got it and covered for a believable near fall and both men were slow to get up. Once they did, John got a big right hand to Triple H and Triple H got a big right hand of his own and they punched each other over and over and Triple H got the best of it until John got the sitout hiptoss and did "You Can't See Me" before delivering the Five Knuckle Shuffle. John then lifted Hunter for an FU and Triple H grabbed the top rope to force a break. When he went for a Pedigree, John slipped out and applied an STFU and Triple H powered up but then collapsed back down. As Triple H got near the bottom rope, John dragged him back to the center ring and reapplied the hold but before he could lock it on, Triple H powered out and slipped the STFU on John. John seemed to fade but then he stood up while in the hold into FU position and Triple H elbowed out of it and Triple H then hit the Pedigree for the win.
Triple H was clutching his knee and the referee gave him the title belt and Triple H was limping as the referee raised his arm in the air. Then John rolled out of the ring with Kayla's help and then John and the Chain Gang Diva Squad walked away looking dejected.
"I was afraid of this and it looks like I'm gonna have to deal with what happens soon on RAW," Nicole said back in "Eddie's Angels'" locker room.
"About tomorrow night," Brittany said, "what shall we do if the Divas try to jump on you again?"
"Let's see," Delancey said, "there's Katie Lea Burchill, Beth Phoenix, Layla, and Jillian Hall. There's 'Eddie's Angels,' the remaining members of the Chain Gang Diva Squad, and Mickie James. That's eight against four. That's what we're gonna have to work until our reinforcements show up."
"True," Rochelle said.
"I'm sorry, you guys," Brittany said. "I should've helped you but I was afraid the Divas would jump me and this locker room would be trashed."
"Look, you did the right thing just in case; but like I said, everyone is high alert and if that's the way they want it, no problem."
