Chapter 25: Fighting Back the Good Fight
RAW was in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Jim Ross' hometown, and Rochelle was facing Jillian Hall.
Nicole, Delancey, and Ulysses were walking down the hallway at the arena until they reached the locker room and went inside. As Ulysses closed the door, Rochelle came out of the bathroom with purple streaks in her hair.
"Whoa, Rochelle," Delancey said, "what did you do to your hair?"
"I just added some purple streaks in my hair," Rochelle said.
"I like it," Nicole said. "I really like it."
"Thanks. Do you like it, Ulysses?"
"I like it," Ulysses said as the Angels gasp.
"Ulysses, you talked," Brittany said.
"Yeah, what finally made you say something?" Delancey said.
"The beating I took from Umaga and the Great Khali," Ulyssed said. "I'm still pissed off about that."
"Aren't we all?" Nicole said, "But everything will turn back around next week because the Divas' got some surprises coming."
"And speaking of surprises," Rochelle said, "I just spoke to Kimberly and she said that Edge and the Edgeheads have shown up.
"Probably to brag about last night," Nicole said, "and I have a feeling that Dave is going to do some serious damage."
"You got that right."
"So how does Kimberly like being part of the Chain Gang Diva Squad?" Brittany said.
"Well, the first night didn't go so well," Nicole said. "Maybe tonight."
"I wonder what's gonna happen tonight."
"Let's just hope for the best."
Then RAW was on and "Eddie's Angels" were walking down the hallway to the outside of the arena to see Edge pissed off.
It began when Jim Ross was saying his farewell speech as he was going over to Smackdown after being drafted as Michael Cole switched to RAW until Edge, Curt Hawkins, and Zack Ryder came in and interrupted and escorted Jim out. Then Edge bragged about RAW not having a World Champion or a General Manager before he was destroyed by Dave and it gave C.M. Punk the chance to cash in the Money in the Bank and beat Edge to become the World Heavyweight Champion bringing the title to RAW.
"It's gone, it's gone!" Edge said. "You know whose fault this is?"
"We're sorry," Curt said.
"No, it's your fault." Then Edge slapped both Curt and Zack. "It's your fault!" Then he grabbed Curt's head hitting his head on the car. "Where were you? Where were you?! Don't even speak to me! Just get in, get in! Drive!"
Edge was kicking the car as he, Curt, and Zack got in.
"Come on, come on!" Edge shouted. "I wanna get out of here! Go! Now!"
Then the car drove away out of the arena.
"Okay, I'm starting to feel better already," Rochelle said as the Angels laughed.
"Just wait until Friday Night Smackdown when he has to explain everything to his fiancée Vickie Guerrero on the Fourth of July and especially when the wedding is next week," Delancey said.
"Oh, I can't wait," Nicole said.
Then the Angels walked away.
Then it was time for the time for the Divas' match which was Rochelle versus Jillian Hall.
Rochelle's new entrance theme, "Lady Marmalade" by All Saints, played and she came out from the curtain with Nicole and Delancey following her.
"The following Divas' match is scheduled for one fall," Lillian Garcia announced. "Introducing first 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.
Rochelle was a wearing a red and white polka dot bustier, black see-through attached top, black mini-miniskirt, and black stockings and her hair curled. Nicole and Delancey were wearing black tie-back v-cup bandeau with attached thong and a row of rings, denim jeans, and their hair was curled with Nicole wearing a headband with a picture of a bulldog on it.
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 Jillian's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.
Jillian walked down the ramp singing her entrance theme badly and got in the ring and she continued singing.
Rochelle took Jillian down and took off headset and Jillian pushed Rochelle away and Rochelle fought back with a Lou Thesz press and punched away at Jillian. Jillian rolled out of the ring and Rochelle grabbed the top rope and hit a baseball slide and then got a headscissors and landed a hurricuranna out of the ring. Then Rochelle grabbed Jillian and threw her back in the ring and as Rochelle went back in, Jillian kicked her and stretched her left arm on the top rope and Jillian did it again and then hit a dropkick on the side sending Rochelle to the corner and the referee checked on Rochelle to see if she can continue.
Rochelle said yes and as Jillian went after her, Rochelle kicked her in the midsection and hit a few forearms before Jillian twisted twisted Rochelle's arm taking her down and covered for a one count. Jillian worked on the arm as Rochelle fought back with a few punches to the midsection and Jillian took Rochelle down by the hair and Jillian went for her cartwheel splash but Rochelle moved. Rochelle hit a one-arm snapmare to no avail but got a back kick and took Jillian down by the hair and went to whip Jillian but Jillian countered twisting Rochelle's arm and kicked her in the shoulder.
Jillian shoved Rochelle to the corner and went for a cartwheel splash but Rochelle blocked with both feet to the back. Rochelle then finished Jillian off with the Whistler for the pin and the win.
"Here is your winner, 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's arms were raised by Nicole and Delancey as the referee gave her the Women's Title belt and the Angels walked over to Jillian and talked smack to her before they left the ring. The Angels walked up the ramp with their arms around each other and they turned around and Rochelle raised her Women's Title belt in the air as RAW went to a commercial break.
A little later, John's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Nicole, Tina, Kimberly, and Kayla following him.
Tina was wearing a blue tie-back mini dress with a jewels line the waist and her hair curled. Kimberly was wearing a white butterfly tie-back top, white pleated miniskirt, black boots, and her hair curled. Kayla was wearing a red halter drape midriff top with a black bandeau, black pants, and her short hair flipped.
The five 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 John took off his black and orange "Hustle, Loyalty, Respect" baseball cap and asked for a microphone.
"I'm certainly a fan of surprises and classic moments and I told all of you," John said, "I had told the entire sports-entertainment universe that the match between John Cena and Triple H at Night of Champions would indeed be a classic moment. No, I didn't win the WWE Title last night, I was defeated by Triple H. But ladies and gentlemen, it's a loss that I take with pride because last night's match proved one thing: that indeed we are the two best in the business and that very match will go down in history. Just like tonight, you have all been part of history. You may not know it right yet but years from now, you will look back on this day and you will all be able to say "I was there. I was there when C.M. Punk cashed in the Money in the Back briefcase and became the new World Heavyweight Champion. The only thing I'm not too savvy about, JBL trying to bully his way into being the World Heavyweight Champion. I don't know much about C.M. Punk but I gotta admit, I like this kid; he uses his brains to get the championship but he's already proven that he can use his guts to keep it. But here's the way I see it. I figure the kid's a fighter so he would have said yes to anybody. It could've been JBL, Brooklyn Brawler, Kwang, Men on a Mission, Harvey Whippleman, Downtown Bruno, Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz, Kim Chee, Kenny Dykstra, Lenny Dykstra, Maury Povich, Sally Jessy Raphael, me. Actually, that's not too bad an idea. And you know what? Mr. McMahon unfortunely isn't here tonight and RAW does not have a G.M., so I guess the champion C.M. Punk should probably be the one to choose. Now Mr. Punk, if you're watching, I know you just won the World Heavyweight Championship, there's probably a lot on your plate right now; so I'm gonna do you a favor. I'm gonna get you some help. I'm gonna let you listen to the largest crowd they have ever assembled here in Oklahoma City. Do you guys think that, uh, JBL should get a shot at the World Heavyweight Champion?" Then the crowd booed. "Or do we make history one more time? Tonight for his very first defense of the World Heavyweight Champion, it is C.M. Punk versus John Cena right here?" Then the crowd cheered. "Now C.M. Punk, the choice is yours, but apparently, it's very easy. So I have a message for Mr. JBL. You should take your limo, your longhorns, your mamajuana, drive it back to New York, Texas..."
Then John "Bradshaw" Layfield's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with a microphone in his hand.
"You will not be wrestling C.M. Punk tonight for the World Heavyweight Championship, Cena," JBL said. "That match is mine. In fact, as a matter of right now, I am declaring martial law here in the WWE and to become World Heavyweight Champion tonight which is my god-given destiny, I cannot have you in the building." Then JBL brought out security. "This is not WWE security, John, this is mine. This is paid for by JBL for just such the occasion that I would have to throw you out of the arena because you see, people that rule things, they don't do it by crowd response, people with money rule things, and with Mr. McMahon gone from the WWE, that means I am running things around here. I am going to become World Heavyweight Champion tonight. Security, please show Mr. Cena the door."
As security walked down the ramp, and his 8-bit t-shirt and threw it to the crowd and then he took off his dog tags and gave them to Nicole and the CGDS got out of the ring as JBL's security went around the ring. John counted each security guard and JBL ordered them to enter the ring to subdue John and John fought the security until they held him down. JBL got into the ring and took his time landing right hands to the face until security dragged him out of the ring. John fought one of them off with a knee but security continued to hold onto him and then John broke away fighting a bunch and security subdued him and took him through the side curtain out of the arena area.
As they reached the backstage area, JBL was shouting for security to get Cena out of the arena until Ulysses came by and fought off the security and John broke free helping him. Then JBL ran off as the Chain Gang Diva Squad came forward.
"Yeah, you run, chickenshit!" Nicole said.
"Okay, this is getting crazy," Kimberly said.
"Don't worry," Kayla said, "you'll get used to it."
"Hey, Ulysses," John said as he extended his hand.
"No problem," Ulysses said as he shook John's hand.
"Well, JBL has declared himself a match against CM Punk," Nicole said. "What are we gonna do?"
"Interrupt his match? Distract him?" Tina said.
"Oh, yeah, we're gonna do just that," John said, "but first, I'm gonna need me some reinforcements."
Then John walked away.
"Well, let's follow the man," Nicole said.
"You got it," Kimberly said.
Then the CDGS and Ulysses followed John.
Then it was time for the tag team match which was Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase versus Darrin Wade and Steve Anthony.
Ted's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Cody following him. The two walked down the ramp and Cody got into the ring as Ted climbed on the apron and raised his arms in the air. Then he got down and he & Steve left the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Cody and Darrin locked up until Cody backed Darrin in the corner and there was a clean break before Cody got a headlock and Darrin shoved Cody to the ropes as Ted made a blind tag and Cody held on. Then Ted clubbed Darrin from behind and landed an elbow drop before tagging back Cody in and Cody landed a kneedrop to the head. Cody was stalking when Steve got into the ring and Ted clotheslined him as Cody finished off with the old Sparkplug Bob Holly tights with a spike DDT for the win.
Then Ted got into the ring and shook hands with Cody as their arms were raised by the referee. Then Cody asked for a microphone and said,
"So everybody wants to know, you folks all want to know why I did what I did last night to poor Hardcore Bob Holly. Well, when you're the son of Dusty Rhodes and you've grown up your whole life and you hear, and he teaches you like eighteen inflections in his voice. I heard all the time about how to…….how do you say it, Ted, how to do things the right way. You pay your dues, oh, you be patient, be patient. You do things the right way. I took that advice, I applied that advice and what did it give me, where did it get me? It got me carrying that damn baby boomer Hardcore Holly keeping was left of his fledging-worth-nothing career alive; I couldn't even focus on myself. So why would I seek out Ted DiBiase? Why wouldn't I seek him out before he even debuted to find a partner who's just like me? He's young, he's good-looking, he's dynamic. I am not a patient person and quite frankly and I have never meant anything more in my life. When you're this talented, you don't pay dues."
Then Cody gave his microphone to Ted and he said,
"Unfortunately, the people of generation don't have the spine to do what we did. They think we're rebellious because they can upload a video on YouTube or they shop at Hot Topic. But in reality, the people in this country under the age of 30 are nothing but spoiled, obedient sheep. We took matters into our own hands and that's what makes us, unlike any of you, it make us simply……priceless."
Then the Boyz in Motion's entrance theme played and they came out from the curtain with Delancey following them.
"You know," Delancey said, "you're starting to sound like my ex-fiance Shelton Benjamin and I think you've been sucking your thumb way too much. I mean, you're a 16-year-old trapped in a 22-year-old body and I think you're talking a whole lot of crap. "You pay your dues, you be patient, you do things the right way." You got it all wrong when you betray someone like Hardcore Holly and I have a feeling somebody's ass will be beaten back to the cribs and I do mean you two."
"Hey, Hardcore Holly has been in the business longer than you have and he has gave you some advice," Jason said, "and what does he get? A big baby sucking his thumb and acting like a spoiled, little brat to jump him. You don't know the meaning of being patient and doing things the right way and you haven't seen the half of it."
"You said something about the people under the age of 30 who are nothing but spoiled, obedient sheep," Ryan said. "Guess what? We're looking at them and if you want another shot at the World Tag Team Championship, you know the exact time and place."
Then Cody and Ted were talking trash as Delancey and the boys walked to the back as RAW went to a commercial break.
Later, "Eddie's Angels," Brittany, and Ulysses were in the locker room talking when there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Brittany said.
"It's Kofi," Kofi Kingston said from outside.
Then Brittany opened the door.
"Hey, Kofi, come in," Brittany said as Kofi went inside the Angels' locker room.
"Hey, ladies, how you're doing?" Kofi asked.
"We're good, thanks," Rochelle said.
"Delancey, I came here to say thanks."
"For what?" Delancey said.
"For being there for me. I mean, I know you and Shelton have a history and I must say, getting that revenge was the coolest thing you ever did."
"That's what I do when exes hurt me bad."
"Another thing, winning this Intercontinental Championship was a great moment for me last night and that's another reason to thank you because you're nothing but an inspiration to me."
Kofi actually won the Intercontinental Championship from Chris Jericho and he was drafted to RAW in the Supplementary Draft.
"Wow, thanks," Delancey said. "I……I appreciate it."
Then Kofi kissed Delancey on the cheek and Delancey was surprised.
"See ya," Kofi said as he left the Angels' locker room.
"See ya," Delancey said.
"Wow, that's something you don't hear everyday," Nicole said. "An inspiration?"
"I guess I have that effect on him."
A little later, it was time for the World Heavyweight Championship match which was John "Bradshaw" Layfield versus C.M. Punk.
John "Bradshaw" Layfield's entrance theme played and the limo came from the side of the arena. Then the driver came out of the limo and he opened the door and JBL came out. He walked down the ramp and got into the ring staring at the crowd and C.M. Punk's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain. Punk walked down the ramp, climbed up the apron, and raised his World Heavyweight Championship belt in the air. Then he got back down and took off his shirt and JBL got rid of his cowboy hat and towel as the referee raised the title belt in the air and called for the bell.
Then JBL's security came out from the curtain and surrounded the ring as JBL and Punk circled around the ring and they locked up and JBL got Punk into the corner and hit a knee to the midsection and was clubbing him in the back and head. Then JBL kicked Punk and hit a huge clothesline and hit a hard forearm to the back and landed an elbow drop twice for a two count. Then JBL clubbed Punk in the back and got him in a headlock before Punk escaped with to the midsection and Punk pushed JBL to the ropes and landed an armdrag. Then Punk landed a back kick and a knee to the face sending JBL to the outside and Punk follow before he was met with another clothesline. Then JBL hit Punk's head to the announcers' table and threw him back into the ring and kicked Punk for the two count and then he bounced off the ropes and kicked Punk in the head.
Then he got Punk in a front facelock when got some shots to the midsection and knees to the midsection and clubs to the back and Punk bounced off the ropes and was caught with a sleeper hold and Punk came back with a knee smash in the corner and a bulldog for a nearfall. Punk went to whip JBL but JBL reversed and missed a clothesline and Punk bounced off the ropes but JBL caught him in mid-air for an overhead fallaway slam for a two count. JBL went for another clothesline but Punk ducked and came back with a roundhouse kick to the ear before landing a springboard clothesline for a two count. Suddenly, John, Cryme Tyme, the Chain Gang Diva Squad, and Amanda came out from the curtain and the girls had kendo sticks and baseball bats with them. Then they stormed the ringside area and John and Cryme Time brawled with security as the CGDS and Amanda fought them off with the sticks and bats. This distracted JBL from the match at hand and then JBL then backed up and walked into Punk's Go 2 Sleep and Punk made the cover and scored the pin to retain the title.
Then Punk immediately got a springboard plancha onto all of the security peeps and helped John, Cryme Tyme, the CDGS, and Amanda to beat down security as RAW came to a close. Things were immediately picking up again as Smackdown was approaching with the aftermath of Edge losing the World Heavyweight Championship and the wedding next week.
