Chapter 26: Suddenly or Supposedly?
Smackdown was in Tulsa, Oklahoma and on that night, Brittany was participating in the Star on A Pole match for a chance to face Natalya for the Divas Championship and Jeff Hardy was facing John Morrison in his first Smackdown match.
Smackdown was on and "Eddie's Angels," Brittany, and Ulysses were in their locker room and Brittany was working out preparing for the Star on a Pole match.
"Okay, I'm ready," Brittany said.
"Alright, Brit," Rochelle said as she put her hands on Brittany's shoulders. "You were Women's Champion on RAW and this is your chance to become the Divas' Champion on Smackdown."
"Yeah, let's add some more gold to 'Eddie's Angels,'" Delancey said.
"You're part of Smackdown now," Nicole said, "so show those Divas what the Princess of Extreme is all about."
"Okay," Brittany said.
"Go get them, kid," Ulysses said.
"Thanks."
Then Brittany walked out of the Angels' locker room.
Then it was time for the Star on a Pole match to determine who will face Natalya for the Divas Championship. Natalya was actually at the announcers' table for guest commentary.
The participants coming out from the curtain besides Brittany were Michelle McCool, Cherry, Kelly Kelly, Victoria, Maryse, and Buffy.
Brittany was wearing a gray vintage midriff top, gray pants with black suspenders, black buckled arm warmers, and her hair straight. And Buffy was wearing a white sequined bikini top, white pants with slits on the side, and her hair curled.
Then the bell rang and Michelle immediately climbed the turnbuckle but Victoria caught up to her and kicked her in the midsection and threw over the top rope as Maryse did the same thing to Cherry. Brittany and Buffy went at it for right hands as Kelly had a dropkick to Victoria and climbed the turnbuckle but Victoria grabbed her by the hair and hit her head on the turnbuckle. Then Victoria climbed the turnbuckle and almost grabbed the star and Cherry attacked Victoria from behind and she climbed the turnbuckle and Cherry suplexed Victoria off the top rope.
Then Buffy went after Cherry as Michelle got into the ring and climbed the turnbuckle and Maryse attacked Michelle from behind and then Maryse got a short arm clothesline and kicked Michelle out of the ring and Maryse went for the gold star but Kelly and Cherry brought her down and gave her the electric chair. Then Victoria climbed the turnbuckle and Brittany attacked Victoria as Michelle grabbed Victoria's foot but Victoria kicked her off and push Brittany away and Michelle was able to pull Victoria off the turnbuckle and hit her head on the apron.
Then Michelle climbed on the apron but Cherry knocked her off and Cherry & Kelly traded pulling each other off the ropes to stop each other from getting the star and they traded forearms until Buffy got the meeting of the minds and Buffy took Kelly down and flipped Kelly hitting her head on the turnbuckle. Then Buffy climbed the turnbuckle but Victoria took her down by the hair and Victoria then did a slingshot legdrop into the ring and onto Buffy. Then Brittany tossed Victoria out of the ring and kicked Michelle off the apron and kicked Maryse in the face and then tossed Kelly out of the ring.
Brittany almost got to the star but was stopped by Michelle as she climbed the turnbuckle trading blows with Brittany and kept climbing until Victoria was climbed the turnbuckle to pull both down and the three traded blows until Kelly pushed all of them off the turnbuckle. Then Maryse charged at Kelly with a forearm and Kelly fought back with a forearm of her own and Maryse got a knee knocking Kelly off the apron and Maryse was showing off before climbing up the turnbuckle and Michelle kicked her off the turnbuckle in the midsection and she ended up getting the star.
Brittany looked a little dejected as Natalya got out of her seat at the announcers' table and had her hands on her hips as Michelle celebrated her win.
"Oh, damn, I thought she had it," Nicole said back in "Eddie's Angels" locker room. "Well, there's always next time."
"Now that Michelle McCool is facing Natalya for the Divas Championship, I just thought of something," Rochelle said.
"What?" Delancey said.
"Natalya is the perfect target when our little plan comes along and she did first attack Michelle when she made her debut before I helped Michelle."
"Yeah, Natalya thinks she's all that," Delancey said, "but since she became part of Vickie's plot to destroy us at Night of Champions, it's gonna cost her big time."
"Oh, Natalya Neidhart, you better watch out because when you really mess with the best," Nicole said, "you'll go down just like your other Diva friends."
A little later, Edge and Vickie were backstage along with the wedding planner, Alicia Fox, in Vickie's office and Vickie was trying to calm down Edge.
"Relax, how could I relax?" Edge said. "I don't have my World Heavyweight Championship belt. How could I relax?"
"Baby, I took care of this," Vickie said. "I got you a match at the Great American Bash against Triple H."
"Okay, you took care of it……"
"Baby, you're gonna be great."
"That doesn't take care of right now. I'm naked. You don't seem to understand."
"Baby, I don't know what you were you thinking. I mean, I don't know what you were thinking Monday night. I mean, you're just not all there. I mean, it was kind of stupid what happened on Monday. I cannot believe……I didn't give you permission to be there on Monday night.
"Permission? Permission?! You think I need your permission? You don't understand what I go through! You don't understand what my body goes through, you don't understand sixteen years today I have been in this industry! Okay, you don't understand that everything that I give for this."
Then Vickie got out of her wheelchair and said,
"Baby, you need to understand who you're talking to. I am still your boss!"
"My boss?" Edge said.
"That's right. You know what? The only person you should be mad at is yourself because the only fool you made out of yourself is you. You're the fool!"
Then Edge walked out of Vickie's office and Vickie looked regretful over what just happened.
Then it was time for the match between Jeff Hardy and John Morrison.
Jeff's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Brittany following him. Brittany was wearing a blue off-the-shoulder midriff top with the peace symbol, red plaid pleaded miniskirt, black boots, and black buckled arm warmers. Jeff did his usual bump and grind with Brittany as the pyro went off and the two walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Brittany posed with Jeff and he got on the turnbuckles and raised his arms in the air. Then he got back down and John Morrison's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. John did his usual "Shaman of Sexy" pose raising the Tag Team Championship belt in the air and walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Jeff and Brittany were sitting in the corner as John got on the turnbuckles and raised the title belt in the air he got back down and showed off to Jeff and Brittany. Then Brittany got out of the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Jeff and John locked up and John immediately got a knee to the midsection and clubbed Jeff in the back before landing an European uppercut. Then John whipped Jeff to the ropes and missed a clothesline and then Jeff fought with a shoulderblock and John took a breather on the ropes. Then John and Jeff locked up again and John took Jeff down and got an armbar and twisted Jeff's arm and Jeff countered into a headlock and John reversed into an overhand wristlock. Then Jeff flipped out of a wristlock and threw John out of the ring and he flew onto the apron as John moved and then hit a crossbody off the apron onto John. Jeff threw John back in the ring and climbed up the turnbuckle and Jeff got the ten punch count in the corner before he went for a double leg drop but John countered and covered for a two count and John ran over Jeff with a knee to the face to get a two count. Then John stomped on Jeff and covered for two and got a high kick to Jeff's chest and kicked him in the back and got another European uppercut. Then he whipped Jeff to the corner hitting his body hard and went for a flying kick but Jeff ducked and got a mule kick sending John to the corner. Then John blocked a charge and tossed Jeff out of the ring and Brittany went to check on Jeff but John got Jeff back in the ring.
John got Jeff in an armlock and Jeff got to his feet and was punching John in the midsection and face and he went to whip John but John reversed and Jeff went for the Whisper in the Wind but John moved and covered for a two count. John tossed Jeff's arm down and dragged Jeff as he got out of the ring and then kicked him in the head and John got back in the ring and stretched Jeff's arm as he had his foot on the rope. Then John pulled Jeff by his arm taking him down and covered for a nearfall and got Jeff in a submission hold stretching his arm with his knee on Jeff's head. Then John got a takedown on the arm and went to do it again but Jeff got a roll-up out of nowhere for two. Then John got a forearm hard to the head and hit Jeff's arm before twisting it and John snapmared Jeff before applying another armlock and Jeff got to his feet before landing some right hands and John raked his eyes before sending Jeff to the ringpost hitting his shoulder. Then John climbed on the turnbuckle and leaped as Jeff countered John coming off the top with a powerbomb. The two men were down and both got to their feet as Jeff bounced off the ropes and got a couple of clotheslines and a bulldog slam. Then John missed a clothesline and Jeff took John down and got a double legdrop for the cover of one. Then Jeff kicked John in the midsection and went for the Twist of Fate but John shoved Jeff and Jeff got Whisper in the Wind for two and Jeff then climbed on the turnbuckle but John got a paylay kick and covered for two. John tried to hit his finisher, but Jeff countered with a facebuster and Jeff climbed up the turnbuckle and hit the Swanton Bomb for the win.
Brittany got in the ring as the referee raised Jeff's arm in the air and Jeff & Brittany hugged each other and Brittany raised Jeff's arm in the air as Jeff took his tank top off and threw it in the crowd. Then Jeff and Brittany left the ring and walked up the ramp as Jeff took both his arm warmers off and gave them to the fans as the two reached the top of the ramp, they turned around and Jeff & Brittany raised their arms in the air as Smackdown went to a commerical break.
Later, backstage, Edge was complaining about Vickie to Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder.
"I don't need permission," Edge said. "I don't understand this. Where she's coming from?"
Then a female stagehand came forward and said,
"Um, guys, excuse me, Edge, Vickie wants to see you."
All three had their head down and Edge walked slowly to Vickie's office and went inside walking towards her as she was in her wheelchair and the wedding planner was sitting behind her on the couch.
"You summoned me?" Edge said. "You summoned me to your office?"
"Yes, I did," Vickie said.
"Your office that you wouldn't have if it weren't for me? Because before I came back, you were nothing but Teddy Long's lapdog fetching his coffee. Before I came back, you didn't have this job; it's not like you got it out of some kind of billing that you have. As a matter of fact, I'm the real General Manager of Smackdown."
"Well, it's all about you, isn't it, baby? Do you realize the sacrifices that I have put on the line for you? Do you realize how my neck has been injured because of you? Do you realize that my back is always going to messes up and I'm confined to this wheelchair for the rest of her life? Mi mama……"
"Shut up! Shut up! Don't speak to me in that gibberish. If you wanna speak to me, you speak to me in English!
Then Vickie got out of her wheelchair again and said……
"I'll give it to you in English, get out!"
Then Edge walked out of Vickie's office but then turneed to go back only to find the door locked and Edge knocked on the door.
"It's me, Vickie, the door is locked," Edge said. "Vickie, Vickie, open up." Edge tried to open the locked door. "Open up! Damn it!"
Then Edge got angry again and even kicked the door to no avail and walked away.
"Eddie's Angels" and Ulysses saw the whole thing in their locker room.
"Wow, it looks like things are about to fall apart," Nicole said. "Edge is a fool for real. What do you think is gonna happen next?"
"He'll probably breakdown and cry like a big crybaby that he's always is," Delancey said.
"Vickie's the fool for being engaged to him," Rochelle said. "I have a feeling that up in heaven, Eddie is laughing his butt off right now."
Then the Angels and Ulysses laughed.
A little later back at the arena, Edge came out from the curtain without his entrance theme and he walked down the ramp and got into the ring and asked for a microphone as the fans chanted "You suck!"
"This will be my first and last public statement about what happened to me this past Monday on RAW. I was the victim of not one but two cowardly attacks. First by Batista and the second by C.M. Punk, the latter of which cost me my World Heavyweight Championship. It was a cowardly attack, it wasn't even a match, it shouldn't have happened, it……I was a victim, it wasn't fair, it wasn't fair to me at all. The only solace I have is the fact that I'm gonna be without a championship gold for very long because at the Great American Bash, I will beat Triple H and will be your WWE Champion for a third time. With that being said, this has been the most difficult week of my life both professionally and personally. From the moment I walked in here tonight, I felt disrespect. I felt disrespect from all of you, I have no support whatsoever from anyone. Hawkins and Ryder, who I took from nothing, who I cultivated from nothing, who I gave everything to. They should be tripping over themselves, they should be doing everything in their power to make me happy and what have they done? They done nothing, they done nothing. What have all of you have done? Nothing! I stand out here, an island onto myself, I stand alone, a solitary figure, but that's fine, that's fine. I'll battle through this because that's what I'm made up of. That's what I do, I battle, I struggle with everything I have and that's why none of you can handle me. That's why you don't like me because I have all the attributes none of you have. I haven't even received the support of the person who should be standing by me more than anyone else in my time of need. The love of my life, my fiancée, Vickie Guerrero. She should be here for me more than anymore else but no, she locks me out of her office and I should tell you all there is to know about Vickie Guerrero. But in case you need to know anymore, I have a few dirty little secrets, I got a few things……."
"Hold on," Vickie said coming out from the curtain without her wheelchair. "What do you think you're doing? Why are you making all of this public? These people don't even deserve to hear about our private life. I mean, just because you lost the championship, have you lost your mind, too?! I don't understand what you're thinking. What are you trying to do? I don't understand."
"What am I doing? That's a really good question."
Then Edge then left the ring and walked up the ramp towards Vickie at the top of the ramp.
"I have one last public statement to make to all of these and make to you," Edge said. "The wedding is off!"
Then Edge walked away as Vickie screamed and appeared to be crying. She took her ring off and threw it to the ground and she continued to cry and shout as Smackdown came to a close.
"Oh, my God, did Edge say what I thought he said?" Delancey said back in "Eddie's Angels" locker room.
"The wedding is off!" Nicole said.
Then the Angels jumped up and down happily.
"Wait, wait, wait," Rochelle said, "wait a minute. Could this be another little scheme of Vickie's to throw us off the track? She might have a feeling that we could destroy the wedding."
"Yeah, that's true," Brittany said. "We might not be able to expose her."
"Ah, but if this is a scheme, we will still expose her and we don't have to do it at the wedding. We'll do it afterwards."
"Okay, let's keep a lookout next week," Nicole said.
"Good idea," Delancey said.
After Smackdown was over, everyone went back to the hotel and Brittany was making the bed in her and Jeff's room.
"Hey, Brit, could you come in here for a minute?" Jeff said as he popped out of the bathroom.
Then Brittany walked to the bathroom and smiled as she saw that the tub was filled up.
"Oh, my God, Jeff," Brittany said as she smiled on covered her mouth.
"Well, what do you say?" Jeff said.
"I'm definitely in the mood for a bath."
Then Jeff and Brittany took off their clothes and climbed into the bathtub.
Then the two had their arms wrapped around each other and kissed passionately.
"I think we'll handle being on Smackdown just fine, don't you think?" Brittany said.
"I think so too," Jeff said.
Then Jeff and Brittany went back to kissing each other.
