Chapter 36: Saturday Night's Main Event
Saturday Night's Main Event was in Washington, D.C. and on that night, John and Dave were teaming up with Cryme Tyme in an eight-man tag team match against John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Kane, Cody Rhodes, and Ted DiBiase, Jeff was facing Edge, and "Eddie's Angels" were facing Natalya, Victoria, and Beth Phoenix in a six-Diva tag team match.
"Eddie's Angels were walking down the hallway at the arena until they found Amanda talking to Shad Gaspard of Cryme Tyme.
"Hey, Amanda," Nicole said.
"Oh, hi, Angels," Amanda said.
"Shad, could give us a moment with Amanda alone?"
"Alright, no problem," Shad said and then he walked away.
"What's up?" Amanda said.
"Well, you know Delancey is competing on "Dancing with the Stars,' right?" Nicole said.
"Yeah."
"Well, I'll be leaving the day after Summerslam and……" Delancey said. "'Eddie's Angels' is in need of a third member."
"I specifically thought of you," Brittany said.
Then Amanda laughed.
"You're kidding, right?" Amanda said. "Me? I wouldn't fit in right."
"Well, it's only before Delancey returns whether she wins on 'Dancing with the Stars' or not," Rochelle said. "But if you prove how worthy you are of being part of 'Eddie's Angels' by scaring Vickie out of the General Manager position before we decide to expose her, you're officially in as our fourth member."
"What do you say?" Nicole said. "This would be a great opportunity to make a complete turnaround for you. Maybe find you a decent man and you'll get a chance at the Women's Championship."
"All of have been there and done that," Brittany said.
"Well……" Amanda said, "okay, you got the deal."
"Great," Delancey said. "But whatever you do, don't tell anyone, not even Cryme Tyme. We can't risk losing you or anyone else before Delancey leaves."
"I promise. I won't say a word."
"Alright, see you in a little bit," Rochelle said.
Then the Angels and Brittany walked away as Amanda turned around and smiled.
"Oh, my God, me as a member of 'Eddie's Angels'?" Amanda said to herself. "I'm not gonna regret this and neither will them. Nicole is right. This would be a great opportunity to make a complete turnaround for myself. I'm gonna prove to everybody that I'm not that crazy psycho Diva from last year. I'm gonna be somebody and I wanna be there when Vickie Guerrero is history."

How this match came about was that when the Undertaker was reinstated by Vickie Guerrero, Natalya was furious and confronted Vickie saying that the only reason she did it was because "Eddie's Angels" got to her, not Edge's infidelity because it happens to some couples and reinstating the Undertaker wasn't going to solve anything. Then she made a plea on to RAW General Manager Mike Adamle for her, Victoria, and Beth Phoenix to face "Eddie's Angels" on Saturday Night's Main Event.

After Saturday Night's Main Event was over, Rochelle arrived at the restaurant at the hotel where she was meeting her mom. She went up to the hostess and said,
"Hi. I'm meeting my mom, Janet Kennedy. Is she here?"
"Yes, she is," the hostess said. "Please follow me."
Rochelle followed the hostess to a little private booth where her mom, Janet, was sitting.
"Here you go," the hostess said.
"Thank you," Rochelle said. "Hi, mom," Rochelle said.
"Hey, Rochelle," Janet said as Rochelle kissed her cheek and sat down at the booth.
Then the hostess gave them their menus.
"What can I get you?" the hostess said.
"I'll just have a Long Island iced tea," Rochelle said.
"I'll have coffee," Janet said.
"Certainly," the hostess said as she left.
"First of all," Janet said, "are you all right? I saw what that woman Katie Lea did to you in front of me."
"I'm fine, mom," Rochelle said. "Katie picked the wrong time to mess with me. But anyway, the reason I needed to see you is because I need your advice of what I'm gonna do about this thing between John and Dave."
"Well, what do you think you should do?"
"Well, Nicole and I called a truce hoping that John and Dave don't at least destroy each other. I don't feel that's enough now that Mike Adamle is the new General Manager of RAW."
"How does Nicole feel about it?"
"She said she's not gonna break down and this is exactly what she predicted all along the second Dave and I got drafted to RAW."
"Okay, my advice to you is that you and Nicole try to stay out of this as much as possible but if you both feel things may get out of hand, put yourselves at risk in the middle and help John and Dave realize it's not worth it."
"What do you mean put ourselves at risk in the middle and help John and Dave realize it's not worth it?"
"John and Dave are friends, right?"
"Yeah."
"And you and Nicole are friends, right?"
"Yeah."
"Does friendship mean more to you than anything else?"
"That, 'Eddie's Angels,' and my marriage."
"Then help John and Dave realize that and help them realize that if they keep fighting about who's the better man, they might end up hurting you and Nicole. When they get caught in petty differences, they forget what's most important in life."
Rochelle nodded her head. Now she knew exactly what to do.
Meanwhile in John and Nicole's hotel room, Nicole was looking out the window when John walked up to her.
"Hey, are you all right?" John said.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Nicole said.
"Look, um, I know you're kind of worried about Summerslam and all that, but I really don't want you to hold anything back. Just tell me what's bothering you."
"That's just it, Summerslam. This might hurt not just us, but also Dave and Rochelle. Rochelle and I are part of 'Eddie's Angels' and we still have a score to settle with Vickie Guerrero. What if things get ugly between you and Dave and 'Eddie's Angels' might never get Vickie Guerrero out of Smackdown……"
"Okay, okay, listen. I would never do anything to break up 'Eddie's Angels' and if I did, I wouldn't forgive myself. As to Summerslam, I'm gonna do whatever it takes and keep my cool before then. I'll bet Dave would say the same thing to Rochelle. Alright?"
"Okay."
"Come here."
Then John and Nicole hugged each other.
Later that night as John and Nicole were sleeping, Nicole's cell phone was vibrating and Nicole picked it up from the nightstand to see that Rochelle was texting her. It said,
"I talked to my mom and she said to put ourselves at risk in the middle and help John and Dave realize it's not worth it. Help John and Dave realize that and help them realize that if they keep fighting about who's the better man, they might end up hurting you and me. When they get caught in petty differences, they forget what's most important in life."
Nicole nodded her head and she put her cell phone back on the nightstand and then she looked at John with worry in her eyes hoping this will solve everything.
