Chapter 51: Hot and Cold
Smackdown was in Nashville, Tennessee and on that night, Jeff was facing the Brian Kendrick and Ulysses was facing the Big Show.
"Eddie's Angels," Brittany, and Ulysses arrived in their locker room and sat their bags down."
"Uh-oh, Ulysses," Brittany said looking at something on the couch, "it looks like your secret admirer left another present for you."
Ulysses' secret admirer left an envelope with a violet and a chandelier pendant.
"Well, it's not so much of a present," Ulysses said picking up the presents, "but it's nice though."
Then Ulysses opened the letter and read it.
"Dear Ulysses, I hope you enjoyed the cologne and thought about of me; speaking of me, I have left clues to help figure out who I am and you haven't done that. Therefore, that is why I leave with the common violet and the pendant to help you. If you can't figure it out, then I'll reveal myself to you next week during Smackdown. Have a nice night and good luck on your match against the Big Show. Sincerely, your secret admirer."
"Well, Ulysses, she's not waiting any longer," Nicole said. "This is a good sign for you."
"Yeah, I guess it is," Ulysses said. "What does the flower and pendant have in common this girl?"
"You know," Rochelle said, "I do remember seeing a Diva wearing something like during a match, but I forgot which match it was."
"But what about the flower?" Brittany said.
"Yeah, what does that mean?" Amanda said.
"Maybe she likes violets or maybe this has something to do with where's she from," Rochelle said.
"Well, I'll figure it out soon," Ulysses said. "I am kind of nervous as to finding out who this girl is."
"Don't be."
"Oh, my God, I just thought of something," Amanda said.
"What?" Nicole said.
"Next week is Rochelle's birthday and we're gonna be in Columbus, Ohio."
"Oh, that's right," Brittany said. "Ulysses, maybe your secret admirer can tag along with us while we're having a night on the town."
"And what if she doesn't want to tag along?" Ulysses said.
"Then ask her out on a date instead, maybe," Amanda said.
"I can do that."
Later, Smackdown was on and it was time for the match between Jeff and the Brian Kendrick.
Jeff's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Brittany following him. Brittany was wearing a black cabbage tie top, red bustier, red plaid miniskirt, black net knee stockings, and her hair in a side curly ponytail. Jeff did his usual bump and grind with Brittany as the pyro went off and the two walked down the ramp slapping the hands of the fans and got into the ring. Brittany posed with Jeff and he got on the turnbuckles and raised his arms in the air and then he got back down and Jeff asked for a microphone.
"I've been in the WWE on and off now for about ten years," Jeff said, "and I can't lie, the journey hasn't always been a smooth one. Over that time, I've become a risktaker, you know, a reckless, crazy, extreme risktaker, and that's why I am your charismatic enigma! And normally when people have negative thoughts about me, I am not bothered by that because I am confident and comfortable in my own skin and I hope you respect that. But last week, Triple H said something to me that made me think. Everytime I got close to that brass ring, I always miss it. In other words, he was saying I never had the big one. At first, I was angry, but then I realize what Triple H was trying to do. He was trying to motivate me, he was trying to change me, he was trying to make me better. Now someone else I'd like to speak of: Vladimir Kozlov. You speak of how you're always craving competition and yet, I'm going to be reaching for my championship last week after I won the Fatal Four-Way, you struck me from behind instead of facing me like a man. But Vladimir, if it's so much competition……."
Then the Brian Kendrick's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Ezekiel Jackson following him.
"Jeff," Brian said, "I think you're forgetting about somebody and now regardless of Vladimir might have done to you last week, Jeff, you got bigger fish to fry, buddy. You got to worry about the Brian Kendrick right now."
"Oh, you mean, the Brian Kendrick?" Jeff said. "I've beaten you in the Fatal Four-Way to become the number one contender."
"That was last week, Jeff, and last week was some sort of chaotic free for all. It wasn't the proper platform for me to show off my talents and abilities, Jeff. But tonight, it's one on one, unless of course, you got something else to do like, maybe one of those extracurricular activities Triple H has been talking about."
Then Jeff and Brittany smirked and Brittany did her "talk to the hand" motion as Brian took off his jacket and got into the ring and Brittany got out of the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Jeff slapped in the face and Jeff kicked him in the midsection and got right hands to the head before the referee pulled him off. Brian charged and Jeff got an armbar takedown and planted his face on the mat before hitting his head on the turnbuckle and got a right hand and a kick to the midsection before the referee pulled him off again. Then Jeff got another kick to the midsection and went for a powerbomb but Brian got a back bodydrop and clotheslined Jeff over the top rope to the floor and then danced as Brittany checked on Jeff and got him back in the ring.
Kendrick applied Jeff in a half Boston crab for a while and Jeff grabbed the bottom rope and Brian kicked his arm off and stomped on him before landing a baseball slide for a two count. Then Brian got a snapmare and got a knee to the back and Brian got a sharpshooter before Jeff grabbed the bottom rope and Brian dragged Jeff to the middle of the ring and went for another sharpshooter but Jeff got up and got a spinning mule kick sending Brian to the corner.
Then Jeff landed the diving legdrop and dragged Brian to the middle of the ring and kicked him in the midsection and went for the Twist of Fate but Brian shoved Jeff to the ropes and missed a high kick and then Jeff kicked Brian in the midsection and got a faceplant for a two count. Then Jeff went to climb the turnbuckle but Brian grabbed his leg and Jeff kicked him off and went to whip Brian but Brian reversed and got a kick to the face and he twisted Jeff's arm and whipped Jeff to the corner and Jeff was about to go for the Whisper in the Wind but Ezekiel distracted him and Brian kicked Jeff in the midsection and went for the Kendrick but Hardy won with a surprise backslide.
Then Jeff quickly left the ring and as collapsed as Brittany ran over to him and the two walked around the ring and Jeff was mocking Brian's dance. Jeff and Brittany were walking up the ramp and as they reached the top, the two turned around and Jeff was raising his arms in the air and then Vladimir Kozlov gave Jeff a big boot to the face knocking out him cold and was talking trash. Brittany fell on the ramp in fright as Vladimir looked down at her and he walked away as Brittany checked on Jeff and Smackdown went to a commercial break.
Later, Maria was alone drawing some sketches in the Women's Locker Room.
"Hey, Maria," Brie Bella said as she walked inside the Women's Locker Room. "What are you doing?"
"Hey, Brie," Maria said. "I'm actually drawing a couple of sketches."
"Wow, these are great."
"Thank you."
"You know, I heard you designed one of your outfits for Playboy."
"Yes, I actually did and I've done some of my outfits for the ring, I've done them for charities, you know, just in my free time."
"Wow, do you think maybe you can make me something for the ring?"
"Oh, definitely and I'm sure that I can make you look very hot."
"Oh, thank you. You know, just in case something snags or something, could you make me an extra one exactly the same? A girl cannot have too many outfits."
"Well, of course, but wouldn't want a different color……."
Then Victoria and Natalya walked inside the Women's Locker Room.
"Hey, rookie," Victoria said, "Maria. "We've been thinking about wrestling and beating you up while you're scurrying, you're so scared, you run underneath the ring, we kind of figured it out."
"It's all starting to make sense to us actually," Natalya said.
It was true; ever since Brie Bella debuted on Smackdown last month, she has been going under the ring for some reason, in which makes her win every match and she's still undefeated.
"And when you come back into the ring," Victoria said, "you're so glowed up, so energized."
"It's like you have this little pep in your step," Natalya said.
"Exactly, you're having an affair with……"
"Hornswoggle!" Victoria and Natalya said.
"Come on, come on," Maria said, "Come on, guys."
"Anyways, Brie, I'm gonna find out about it and when I do……." Victoria said.
"No, we're gonna find out about it BFF," Natalya said.
"I'm sorry, we're gonna about it."
"Because you can hide all you want, but you know what? We don't keep secrets around here, Brie."
"No secrets."
"So you know, BFF? I got a great idea. How about next week, you can face the two of us in a match and you can even invite Donna Karan New York over here."
"Oh, Miss Fashion Designer. She can't even design for a thrift store."
Then Natalya snatched Maria's drawing pad.
"Uh-huh, you like this?" Natalya said as she ripped up Maria's sketches.
"Ooh, that's so nice," Victoria said as Natalya threw down Maria's drawing pad.
"Face!"
Then Victoria and Natalya turned around to see Christina Alexis and Jasmine Morgan in their faces.
"So you don't keep secrets, huh?" Christina said. "I might find out yours."
"Oh, yeah," Jasmine said, "because Christina and I are the ones that don't keep secrets around here."
"Now you better do yourself a favor and pick that up……" Then Christina got in Victoria and Natalya's faces, "and give it back to Maria or I'll make you pick it up."
Then Victoria picked up Maria's drawing pad and gave it back to her with a stern look on her face.
"I'm gonna remember this for next time," Victoria said to Christina.
Then Victoria and Natalya left the Women's Locker Room.
"Are you girls all right?" Jasmine said as she walked up to Maria and Brie.
"Yeah, we're fine," Maria said.
"Okay, Brie, seriously, why are you going under the ring so much?"
"I should tell you," Brie said, "but I can't."
"Come on, Brie," Christina said, "we all rather see what's happening underneath the ring than have Victoria and Natalya find out."
"I promise, you'll find out soon enough."
"Okay."
"Catch you later," Jasmine said.
Then Christina and Jasmine left the Women's Locker Room.
A little later, Chavo was still in Vickie Guerrero's office catching his breath after being nearly choked to death by the Undertaker. The thing was Vickie Guerrero and the Big Show was playing the clip of the Big Show attacking the Undertaker at Unforgiven repeatedly and even worse before that, Chavo was impersonating the Undertaker pretending to look down at Vickie's feet and apologizing to her in the process.
Then "Eddie's Angels" and Ulysses walked inside Vickie's office and were looking down at Chavo.
"Chavo, Chavo, Chavo," Rochelle said, "that's what you get for messing with the Undertaker and making fun of him. You shouldn't do that."
"Hey," Amanda said bending down at Chavo, "I would've loved to see this happen to Vickie but she got lucky……for now."
"Now if you'll excuse us," Nicole said, "we got bigger fish to fry."
Then "Eddie's Angels" and Ulysses left Vickie's office.
A few minutes later, it was time for the match Ulysses versus the Big Show. Ulysses' entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with "Eddie's Angels" following him.
"The following match is scheduled for one fall," Justin Roberts announced. "Introducing first being accompanied by 'Eddie's Angels,' from Minneapolis, Minnesota standing over seven feet tall, weighing at 460 pounds, Ulysses."
Nicole was wearing an ivory satin tube midriff top, black pants with a silver belt, and her hair in a side curly ponytail. Rochelle was wearing a ivory satin halter top with a metallic ring that leads to a sultry drape neckline, black pants, and her hair curled. Amanda was wearing a ivory v-cup black detail tube top with a black bow in the back, denim jeans, and her hair curled.
"Eddie's Angels" and Ulysses walked down the ramp as the Angels were slapping hands of the fans and Ulysses got into the ring first as the Angels followed. The Angels stood next to Ulysses as he raised his arms in the air and the Big Show's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with the pyro setting off.
"And his opponents standing over seven feet tall, weighing in at 441 pounds, the Big Show," Justin announced.
He walked down the ramp with a serious look on his face and got into the ring and stared at Ulysses and the Angels and then the Angels left the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Big Show went behind Ulysses with a waistlock and Ulysses tried to power out and landed a back elbow to no avail and then Big Show tried to take Ulysses down by the leg but Ulysses was clubbing Big Show in the back and then went for a chokeslam but Big Show was hitting Ulysses in the side and a kick to no avail. Then Big Show was hitting three headbutts to break out of the hold and then bounced off the ropes and Ulysses got a huge right hand and then Ulysses gave Big Show a boot sending him to the floor and then Ulysses grabbed Big Show by the head and Big Show grabbed Ulysses' legs and yanked him to the mat and dragged him to the floor.
Ulysses then headbutted Big Show and went for a clothesline but Big Show ducked and Ulysses hit the post with his arm and Big Show got back into the ring and the Angels checked on him. Then the lights went out and the Undertaker's entrance theme played and Big Show was still standing in the ring waiting from him leaving time for Ulysses to recover and then Nicole got into the ring behind the Big Show and hit him in the back twice with Triple's H sledgehammer. Then Nicole got out into the ring and Ulysses got in the ring and clubbed Big Show from behind and landed a big right hand as the lights came back on and then Ulysses landed a big boot to the face and stomped on him before choking him and then he grabbed the Big Show and landed a chokeslam for the win.
"Here is your winner, Ulysses," Justin announced.
"Eddie's Angels" got into the ring and they applauded Ulysses' work in the ring and they raised his arms in the air. Then they looked down at the Big Show and the Angels made fun at him as they and Ulysses left the ring leaving the Big Show lying on the ground.
