Chapter 62: Six Days into Cyberheaven

RAW was in Corpus Christi, Texas and "Eddie's Angels" were in their locker room as Amanda held onto her cell phone to call her mother again.

"Okay, I'm gonna need your support as I do this," Amanda said. "I can't go through this alone."

"Don't worry, we're right here," Nicole said putting her hands on Amanda's shoulders.

Then Amanda dialed the number of her mother and after a few rings, she answered the call and put her phone on speakerphone.

"Hello?"

Amanda's mother said but Amanda didn't answer. "Hello?"

"Hello, is this Monica Dominguez?" Amanda said.

"Yes."

"This is your daughter, the one you gave up for adoption in Cincinnati, Ohio?"

Then there was a brief pause as Monica sighed.

"Oh, my God,"

Monica said. "I……I don't what to say."

"I just have a lot of questions to ask you as to why?" Amanda asked.

"I don't know where to start."

"How about this? How about I come see you?"

"Yes, that's fine."

"I'll be in Florida in two weeks."

"That's fine, goodbye."

"Bye."

Then Amanda ended the call."

"Well, that was an interesting start," Nicole said.

"Yeah," Amanda said. "There is so much to ask, so much to tell. It's a lot to comprehend."

"Hey, you have plenty of time to think about it," Rochelle said, "believe me, when I first found out I had a half-brother, I didn't know where to start. I had a hundred questions to ask him."

"You never met Taylor, have you?" Nicole said.

"No, I haven't," Amanda said.

"Well, I guess when we go to Florida," Rochelle said, "I'll introduce you to him."

"Maybe we could meet your mother as well," Nicole said.

"That's if everything goes well," Amanda said.

"Don't worry," Rochelle said, "we're right here by your side and so will Shad."

"Thanks."

A little later, RAW was on and Chris Jericho's entrance theme played as pyro was setting off all over the stage and he came out from the curtain. He walked down the ramp and got into the ring and stared down the fans as he got out of the ring and walked over to Lillian Garcia and ordered her to announce him as the World champion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho," Lillian announced.

Then Chris took the microphone from Lillian and got back into the ring as the crowd booed.

"You see, this is what I'm talking about," Chris said, "that is what I'm talking about exactly. Respect or lack thereof; Lillian Garcia, I should never have to ask you to introduce me ever again. You should just do it; I am Chris Jericho and I am the World Heavyweight Champion and you need to say that much as possible but then, this disrespect doesn't end with Lillian, no. This permeated every performer in that locker room back there, a locker room that I lead as World Champion and it's spread like a virus to each and every one of you hypocrites in this arena tonight. Oh, yeah." Then the crowd chanted "You suck." "Pure disrespect and somehow, you've all got it in your perverted little brains that I'm going to lose this championship at Cyber Sunday no matter who you choose as the referee. The choices I shouldn't even have in the first place, but thanks to Mike Adamle, you do. Mike Adamle, our esteemed General Manager, a man I need to put on my long list of people who are disrespecting me in this company, Mike Adamle made the stipulations and gave you three unbiased officials to choose from, but what a list it is. It's a joke; let's go around them. Rochelle Kennedy, Shawn Michaels, and the worst of all three of them, Steve Austin. It's an absolute joke and it's not fair to me as the champion. Maybe Mike Adamle has forgotten who he is dealing with, maybe all of you forgotten who you're dealing with. I am Chris Jericho, I was the first undisputed in the history of this business after I beat the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night. And I beat four of the biggest superstars on RAW to once again become champion. I followed that up beating C.M. Punk in a steel cage and I destroyed and embarrassed Shawn Michaels in a ladder match, a match that he was guaranteed not to lose, but guess what? He did because I am the best and after my match against Batista at Cyber Sunday when I once again win and retain this championship, you will have no other recourse than to admit that I am the best in the world and the most dominate champion that this business or any other has seen in the last few years. Your disrespect, this disrespect, and……."

Dave's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Rochelle following him. Rochelle was wearing a blue vintage mini dress, brown stockings, black boots, and her hair curled. The two walked down the ramp and got in the ring and Dave & Rochelle looked at Chris as they walked towards him and Dave laughed.

"Are you serious?" Dave said. "Are you seriously out here demanding respect? Let me tell you what's so ridiculous about that besides your hair. You don't demand respect, Chris, you earn respect and if you beat me at Cyber Sunday……." Then Dave laughed again, "……if you beat me at Cyber Sunday, then I really believe you will earn a lot of people's respect. But until then and it's only six short days away, would you please, puh-lease, stop whining and crying and shut you mouth…….or I'm gonna shut it for you."

Then the RAW's entrance theme played and General Manager Mike Adamle came out from the curtain with a microphone in his hand.

"Gentlemen, come on, gentlemen, save it for Cyber Sunday because you'll get a chance to put your hands on one another," Mike said. "Right now, I wanna concentrate on a term you've both been talking about respect. Because your performances tonight will determine who deserves that respect. As for the first time ever, both of you will compete against the same three opponents in a gauntlet match ...... in a gauntlet match. It's gonna be different, it's gonna be unpredictable, and it's gonna be another Adamle Original."

Then as Mike walked to the back, Dave and Chris went face-to-face in the ring and then Chris slapped Dave and left the ring to shouting "respect." Dave smiled as he held onto his face and Rochelle continued to stare at Chris as RAW went to a commercial break.

Later, "Eddie's Angels" were in their locker room watching a clip of various celebrities and athletes praising John Cena such as Kelly Carlson, Snoop Dogg, NASCAR driver Carl Edwards John Salley of the Best Damn Sports Show Period, Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty, Sara Jean Underwood, volleyball player Gabrielle Reece, Ben Stiller, Robert Patrick, the Jonas Brothers, and skateboarder Tony Hawk and the theme of the comments was that John's a great guy, fun-loving, no ego, doesn't take life seriously, and softens the line between regular guy and celebrity.

"Oh, my God," Amanda said, "aren't you lucky that you are married to John Cena?"

"Lucky?" Nicole said. "I am totally blessed; I mean, look at everything I've accomplished thanks to him and now top-notch celebrities are praising my husband. Even Lebron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers is doing the 'You can't see me.' How awesome is that."

"Hey, John is everywhere and you oughta be grateful for everything he's done for you," Rochelle said.

"I've always been grateful and I never got to pay him back and I know there's no need to. I'm just totally in love with him and cannot wait for him to return."

Then Beth Phoenix walked inside the Angels' locker room and got in Nicole's face.

"What do you want?"

"Listen," Beth said, "I know that you have that little glow in your eye because your husband John Cena is coming back and that your little movie is coming out on Friday and I'm getting sick of you and your Angel friends. I'll tell you what; instead of you and your Chain Gang Diva girlfriends having your little dance performance, how about you and me in the ring tonight?"

"Fine, that's fine."

Then Beth looked at Rochelle and Amanda and left the locker room.

Later, it was time for the Divas' match which was Nicole versus Beth Phoenix. Beth was already in the ring after Santino Marella's promo of his intercontinental Championship against the opponent of the WWE Universe's choosing: "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Goldust, and the Honky Tonk Man. Santino was dressed up with a Goldust wig and facepaint, a "Hot-Rod t-shirt and kilt, and a Honky Tonk Man wig and when "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan confronted Santino and made fun of Beth, then hit Jim with the guitar.

Nicole's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with the rest of the Chain Gang Diva Squad following her.

"The following Divas' match is scheduled for one fall," Lillian Garcia announced. "Introducing first being accompanied by the Chain Gang Diva Squad, representing 'Eddie's Angels' from St. Louis, Missouri, Nicole Mitchell," Lillian announced.

Nicole was wearing a blue low-cut midriff vintage top, denim shorts, brown stocking, the Chain Gang Wristbands, and her hair in a ponytail. Kayla was wearing a purple buttoned-up pleat ruffle vest with a belt, denim jeans, and her short hair straight. Tina was wearing a blue, brown, and white floral print strapless dress and her hair curled. Kimberly was wearing a blue silk corset tank top with sequins, denim jeans, and her hair curled. The girls walked down the ramp slapping the hands of the fans and Nicole got into the ring and stared at Beth as she got on one of the turnbuckles and raised her arms in the air and she got back down as the referee called for the bell.

Nicole and Beth circled around the ring and locked up and Nicole got Beth in a headlock and took down Beth and pinned her shoulders down for a one count and Nicole still had Beth in a headlock and went behind her twisting her arm and Beth went to the ropes breaking the hold. Beth elbowed Nicole in the face and landed a chop to the chest and a forearm and she whipped Nicole into the corner but Nicole floated over Beth and landed a dropkick and then Nicole kicked Beth in the midsection and then grabbed Beth's arm, went up on the top turnbuckle, and landed an armdrag.

As Nicole went after Beth, Beth got a drop toe hold sending Nicole into the bottom turnbuckle and then Beth was kicking Nicole and landed a snapmare and a kick to the back and then Beth landed a baseball slide making Nicole land on the ringpost and covered for one count and she choked Nicole in the neck with her boot and then Beth grabbed Nicole and Nicole came back with forearms and chops to the chest and she whipped Beth to the ropes and Beth kicked Nicole in the midsection and Beth followed with a DDT for a nearfall. Then Beth hit Nicole's head on the turnbuckles twice and got her into the corner and tried to follow with a corner splash but Nicole moved and Nicole landed some clotheslines and whipped Beth into the corner and went for a splash but Beth moved and Kayla got on the apron to distract Beth and Beth kicked Nicole in the midsection and went for the Glam Slam but Nicole countered into a roll-up for a three count.

"Here is your winner, Nicole Mitchell," Lillian announced.

Nicole quickly left the ring as Kimberly and Tina hugged her and her arms were raised as Beth got upset and the Chain Gang Diva Squad was making fun of Beth as RAW went to a commercial break.

Then it was time for the tag team match which was Cryme Tyme versus Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase.

Cryme Tyme's entrance theme played and they came out from the curtain with Amanda following them. Amanda was wearing a blue vintage tie-neck v-cup halter bikini top, denim miniskirt, black boots, and a black newsboy covering her ponytail. The three walked down the ramp and got into the ring as they were pumping up the crowd and Cryme Tyme got on the turnbuckles and raised their arms in the air as Amanda was dancing along. Then Ted DiBiase's entrance theme played and he came out the curtain with Cody Rhodes and Manu following him. The three walked down the ramp and Cody & Manu got into the ring as Ted climbed on the apron and Cody raised his World Tag Team Title belt in the air.

Then Ted got down into the ring and then he, Cody, and Manu immediately went after Cryme Tyme beating on them as Amanda quickly left the ring. Manu got a big slam to JTG as Ted and Cody held onto Shad in the corner and Manu gave a big splash to Shad in the corner and Ted was talking trash as he, Cody and Manu kept beating on Cryme Tyme stomping on them. Amanda was covering her mouth in shock as she looked on and Ted got out of the ring and picked up the World Tag Title belts and got into the ring and he gave one to Cody and Manu raised their arms in the air. Then Ted was talking trash to JTG as RAW went to a commercial break.

Then it was time for the Gauntlet match which was Dave versus Chris Jericho.

Chris Jericho's entrance theme played as pyro was setting off all over the stage and he came out from the curtain. He walked down the ramp and got into the ring and stared down the fans as Dave's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Rochelle following him. Dave did his thing with the pyro with Rochelle kneeling in front of him and Rochelle got back up and the two walked down the ramp and got in the ring and Dave & Rochelle looked at Chris as Dave was on the turnbuckles and flexed his muscles. Then he got back down as Mike Adamle got into the ring with a microphone in his hand.

"Let me present to you another Adamle Original," Mike said. "You are about to witness for the first time ever, Batista and Chris Jericho competing against the same three opponents of my choosing in a Gauntlet match. Batista, you will start the match first. Now gentlemen, let me introduce to you to your first opponent, he is the 2008, King of the Ring, William Regal

Then William Regal's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Layla following him. The two walked down the ramp and William got into the ring and he took off his robe and gave it to Layla and the referee called for the bell.

Dave and William circled around the ring and William immediately kicked Dave in the midsection and got several forearms before the referee pulled him back and William went to whip Dave but reversed and got a spinebuster and Batista gave Regal the Batista bomb for an easy pin.

The referee raised Dave's arm in the air and Dave smiled as Chris looked confused and Chris got into the ring ordered the referee to get Dave into the ring. Chris kept screaming at William to get up but William played dead for several moments and Chris nailed the Codebreaker on him for the easy pin.

Then Chris smiled as the referee raised his arm in the air and Dave & Rochelle shook their heads.

"Chris Jericho, you will start this next match and gentlemen," Mike said, "let me introduce to you to your opponent, he is World's Strongest man, Mark Henry."

Then Chris gulped as Mark Henry's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Tony Atlas following him. The two walked down the ramp as Dave and Rochelle were laughing at Chris and Mark got into the ring as Dave and Rochelle applauded and the referee called for the bell.

Chris got a couple of forearms but Mark shoved him off and Mark charged at Chris in the corner but Chris moved and got a chopblock from behind and went for the Walls of Jericho but mark kicked him off and out of the ring. Chris got back in the ring and Mark got a clothesline and Mark got a right hand kicked Chris in the midsection before whipping him hard to the corner and Dave was mocking Chris as Mark kicked him and Dave applauded Chris as he continued to mock him.

Chris was distracted as Mark splashed him and Mark dragged Chris to the middle of the ring and he bounced off the ropes and he missed with the big splash. Chris tried to follow with the Lionsault but Mark kicked out and then kicked Mark in the head and removed the turnbuckle and the referee caught him before Chris got out of the ring and grabbed the World Title belt. He then smashed Mark in the head with but the referee had turned around in time and he saw the clean blow and disqualified Chris.

Chris argued with the referee and the referee ordered Chris out of the ring as Dave got into the ring and Rochelle was making fun of Chris doing the thumbs down and Dave started with some right hands but Henry shoved Batista aside, but Batista came back with a demonstrative spinebuster for the pin and the win.

The referee raised Dave's arm in the air and Dave smiled as Chris looked disappointed.

"Alright, let's see here," Mike said, "Chris Jericho, you will start the next match and gentlemen, let me introduce to you to your opponent. He is the Big Red Monster, Kane."

Then fire appeared on the stage as Kane's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. He walked down the ramp and got into the ring and stared at Chris as Rochelle ran around the ring and threw Chris in the ring and the referee called for the bell.

Kane stomped on Chris and then bounced off the ropes and got an inverted DDT for a two count. Then Kane hit Chris' head on the turnbuckle and got a right hand and Kane was kicking Chris before the referee and Kane got another right hand a few times before the referee pulled him off again and Chris then charged into a knee to the legs and he bounced off the ropes and kicked Kane in the leg several times and he kept kicking Kane's leg in the corner and the referee pulled him off before Chris left the ring and grabbed Kane's leg and ran it into the ringpost and Chris was taunting Dave as he got Kane's leg on the middle ropes and kicked it.

Chris kicked the knee and tried to come back with the Walls of Jericho but Kane flipped him across the ring and Kane got a couple of right hands and he whipped Chris to the corner before he splashed him and Kane got a sidewalk slam and he bounced off the ropes and missed another splash. Then Chris went for the Codebreaker but Kane fought him off and Kane tried a top rope move as Dave cheered, but Chris crotched him and then Chris got a right hand and he climbed the top turnbuckle and clubbed Kane in the back and went for a powerslam but Kane headbutted Chris off and Kane then came back with a flying clothesline for a nearfall. He went for the choke slam but Chris elbowed out of the grip and Kane yanked Chris to the rope and dumped him to the floor and Dave stalked Chris on the floor and then Kane yanked Chris back into the ring and Chris bounced off the rope and Kane nailed a big boot for the pin and the win.

Then the referee raised Kane's arm in the air as Chris rolled out of the ring to the apron and Dave got into the ring as Chris distracted Kane slapping him in the back and Kane knocked Chris off the apron and then turned around and Dave landed a spine buster for the win.

Rochelle got into the ring and she & the referee raised Dave's arm in the air and Dave smiled as Chris was laying on the floor holding on to his ribs in pain. Chris walked around the ring and grabbed his World Title belt and Dave & Rochelle were still all-smiles as Dave got on the turnbuckles and raised his arms in the air. Rochelle was leaning on the top rope staring at Chris pointing at herself hoping she'll be voted in as the special guest referee at Cyber Sunday as Chris tried to look tough while in pain as he held up the World Title belt. Of course for Rochelle, it was only a matter of time in just six days.
