Chapter 65: The Angels' Playground

The next day, Nicole and Amanda were walking down the hallway on their way to have breakfast when they spotted Skye, Shayna Brooke, and Jasmine Morgan of the Angelic Coalition giggling at each other.

"Well, it looks like you three woke up on the right side of the bed this morning," Nicole said.

"Well, yeah," Skye said. "It all started when Jasmine……"

"Jasmine what?" Amanda said.

"Something special happened between me and Evan Bourne last night," Jasmine said.

"Did you……?" Then Jasmine nodded her head. "Oh, my God."

"Wow, how was it?" Nicole said.

"I can't describe it," Jasmine said. "It was slow and passionate and……it felt like I was in heaven. I mean, Evan is a God, and cute…….and sexy."

"Evan from heaven we kept saying," Shayna said. "Evan 'Air' Bourne from heaven."

Then the girls laughed.

"Do the others know yet?" Nicole said.

"No, I don't wanna embarrass myself……yet," Jasmine said as she giggled.

"Well, speaking of that, of course, I had to hear Dave and Rochelle going at it last night and I know Rochelle started it because she's happy to have her World Heavyweight Champion back."

"They're animals and you know it," Amanda said.

"Okay, if we can cut down the sex talk for a minute," Shayna said, "I have decided to take the risk of asking Kofi Kingston out on a date tonight. I know that's unusual but I can't take it anymore."

"Wow, that's great," Amanda said, "you sound pretty confident."

"Hey, where I'm from and when it comes to guys like Kofi Kingston, you got to take the risk."

"No complaints here."

"Come on, girls," Skye said, "we got to get ready for the next trip to Tucson."

"Alright, we'll catch you later," Nicole said.

"Bye," Jasmine said.

Then the girls went their separate ways.

Later, RAW was on in Tucson, Arizona and on that night, "Eddie's Angels" were facing the Angelic Coalition in a six-Diva Trick or Treat tag team match and Dave was teaming up with Shawn Michaels in a tag team match against Chris Jericho and John "Bradshaw" Layfield.

"Eddie's Angels" entrance theme played and they came out from the curtain.

"This is a six-Diva Trick or Treat tag team match scheduled for one fall," Lillian Garcia announced. "Introducing first, the team of Nicole Mitchell, Amanda, Brittany Swanson, and the WWE Women's Champion Rochelle Kennedy, 'Eddie's Angels.'"

The Angels were wearing their Halloween costumes and they walked down the ramp slapping hands of the fans and Amanda got into the ring first and she posed in the middle of the ring and flaunted her butt to the crowd. Nicole did Melina's ring entrance and Rochelle went around the ring, got up on the apron and posed, and got into the ring. The Angels then got on the turnbuckles and raised their arms in the air and they got back down as the Angelic Coalition's entrance theme played and Skye\e, Shayna, and Madison came out from the curtain.

"And their opponents, the team of Madison Spears, Shayna Brooke, and Skye, the Angelic Coalition," Lillian announced.

The three girls walked down the ramp and Madison climbed on the apron and leaped onto the top rope and flipped into the ring. Then Shayna got on the apron and crawled into the ring slowly and popped back up spinning around as Skye climbed on the apron onto the turnbuckle and she posed raising her arms in the air before going down in the ring. Then Skye and Shayna posed next to Madison as she raised her arms in the air and Nicole, Rochelle, Skye, and Shayna got out the ring and the referee called for the bell.

Madison and Nicole locked up as Madison got Nicole in the corner before a break and the two locked up again and Madison got Nicole in a front facelock and Nicole tried to power out but Madison held on. Then Nicole shoved Madison to the ropes and Nicole got a flying forearm and Nicole grabbed Madison's leg and tripped her and they both popped up. Then Madison made the tag to Skye and Nicole got a drop toe hold and then Nicole grabbed Skye and made the tag to Amanda and Amanda kicked Skye in the midsection and hit a nice European uppercut and then she chopped her in the chest and hit a few forearms and another uppercut.

Then Amanda went to whip Skye but Skye reversed and Skye floated in Amanda's arms but Skye countered and shoved Amanda to the ropes as she made the tag to Shayna and Shayna ducked Amanda's clothesline and landed an arm drag and also a dropkick. Then Shayna bounced off the ropes and landed a crossbody for a two count and Shayna grabbed Amanda and kicked her in the midsection and got a neck breaker for another two count and then Shayna went to whip Amanda to the ropes but Amanda reversed and got a kick to the face for a two count. Amanda grabbed Shayna and made the tag to Rochelle as Amanda got a scoop slam on Shayna and Amanda & Rochelle got a double elbowdrop and Rochelle covered for a two count and then Rochelle whips Shayna to the corner and splashed her and landed a snap mare for a two count.

Then Rochelle grabbed Shayna and clubs her in the back and she tags in Nicole as Shayna made the tag to Madison and Madison misses a clothesline and Nicole landed a dropkick for a two count and Nicole drags Madison and lands a back elbow as she makes the tag back to Rochelle and Rochelle drags Madison to the middle of the ring and goes for an elbow drop but Madison moves. Madison makes the tag to Skye and Skye hits some forearms and clotheslines and Skye kicks Rochelle in the midsection and lands a facebuster for a two count and the two traded forearms and Rochelle landed a hard one to Skye and speared her before she landed the Stairway to Heaven for the win.

"Here are your winners, 'Eddie's Angels," Lillian announced.

The referee raised Rochelle's arm in the air as Nicole and Amanda got in the ring and hugged her and then Nicole helped Skye to her feet as Madison and Shayna got into the ring and hugged Rochelle and Amanda.

"Stop the music, stop the music right now!" Chris Jericho said as he was coming out from the curtain. "Stop the music!"

Chris was walking down the ramp and got into the ring and stared at the girls and the crowd.

"What happened last night was the biggest screwjob in WWE history," Chris said. "Mike Adamle wanted Batista to be the champion, so he did everything in his power to make it happen and all of you are happy to oblige him. You voted in "Stone Cold" Steve Austin; you couldn't pick a more biased referee in the entire planet. Austin changed the rules in the middle of this match, he put his hands on me repeatedly, he tried to bully me, he tried to intimidate me, and worst of all, he didn't count to three when I had the match and no. As a result, Batista is the new World Heavyweight Champion. If I was Batista I would be embarrassed to call myself a champion; I would be ashamed to call myself champion because Batista did not beat Chris Jericho, no. No. It took an entire army to beat me from Batista, to Michaels, to Kennedy, to Steve Austin, to Mike Adamle, to every single one of you hypocrites tonight. You're all involved in this conspiracy against me and now Mike Adamle wants to make a tag team match for the main event tonight; that's fine. I'm dying to get my hands on Shawn Michaels and Batista again tonight. But I'll tell you something, that's not good enough. I need more, I need more! I have a championship rematch clause and I will use it next week, I will beat Batista, and regain what's mine and once again be the World Heavyweight Champion and there is nothing that any one of you can do about this."

Then the RAW theme music played and General Manager Mike Adamle came out from the curtain. He walked down the ramp and got into the ring.

"Chris, I need you to hang on a second," Mike said, "I just wanna tell you a little something right now. In order to make sure that there is no outside interference in that championship match against Batista, I have decided to make it a steel.…..cage.….match."

Chris thought it over and then he nodded his head several times before ranting & raving and storming past Adamle with a little bump on the shoulder on the way out of the ring. Then Rochelle was waving as Chris was walking up the ramp and then Randy Orton's entrance theme played and Randy came out from the curtain. He walked out past Chris down the ramp and got into the ring.

"Are you satisfied with yourself, Mike?" Randy said. "I came out here last night at Cyber Sunday as an emergency referee to block Rochelle's way of refereeing this match and look what happened. Rochelle Kennedy got in my way and I'm on the receiving end of a Stone Cold Stunner. That, Mike, is inexcusable. I am not fully recovered, I could not defend myself properly. I'm gonna make sure, Mike, that you do not get away with this. Stephanie and Shane McMahon, I know you're watching and I need both of you to come to Raw next week……and fire Mike Adamle because if you don't, I'm going to walk; I am out of here, the most valuable commodity that you have, is going to quit. The WWE needs me a whole hell of a lot more than I need the WWE. So either he goes or I go." Then Randy started to leave and then he spotted Mike staring at him. Randy stormed over to him and got in his face saying "What are you looking at exactly? What are you gonna do? What are you gonna, Mike? Nothing, that's what you're gonna do and you know why? Because you're spineless and you're a failure. You failed as an announcer, you failed as a interviewer, and you're failing as GM right now as we speak. And I betcha, Mike, if I took a little plane ride to Chicago and met up with your wife and met up with your children, I would find out that you failed as a husband and you failed as a father as well."

Then Mike became enraged as his face turned red and then he slapped Randy across the face as the Angels and the Angelic Coalition looked on in shock. Mike stood tall as Randy got back in his face but Randy backed away out of the ring huffing and puffing while Mike breathed a strange sigh of relief.

A few minutes later, "Eddie's Angels" and the Angelic Coalition came out from the curtain and went their separate ways.

"Wow, Mike Adamle may be a lot of things," Nicole said, "but I never thought he would stand up to Randy Orton like that."

"He was making threats towards his family," Rochelle said. "What else could he have done?"

"Fire him at least," Amanda said, "but if Mike stays and Randy leaves, that'll be a weight off our shoulders."

"Good, I want him to leave," Nicole said. "He's a psycho nutcase who's full of himself and everybody here in the WWE knows that. And what this about the WWE needs him a whole hell of a lot more than he needs the WWE?"

"He doesn't care and like you said," Rochelle said. "He's a psycho nutcase who's full of himself."

"Okay, can we not talk about Randy anymore?" Amanda said. "My stomach is starting to hurt."

"Yes," Nicole said.

A little later, Shayna was walking down the hallway because Kofi Kingston and C.M. Punk were facing Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase for the World Tag Team Championship and won it and Shayna knew this was the perfect time to make her move on Kofi.

Shayna had a big smile on her face when she walked towards Kofi and Punk coming out from the entrance to the arena.

"Hey, guys," Shayna said.

"Hey, Shay," Punk and Kofi said.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you, thank you," Punk said.

"Thank you so much," Kofi said.

"Um, Kofi, I was wondering if you're not busy tonight," Shayna said, "maybe you'd like to go out on a date with me."

Then Kofi smiled as he looked at Punk and Punk nodded his head as Kofi turned back to Shayna.

"Yeah, absolutely," Kofi said. "I would love to go out on a date with you."

"Great," Shayna said.

"Hey, I'll catch you later."

"Alright, Kofi," Punk said as Kofi and Shayna walked away.

Then Punk smiled at the sight before him.

A little later, Michael Cole was in the middle of the ring for an interview with Dave."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the new World Heavyweight champion, Batista," Michael said.

Then Dave's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Rochelle following him. Rochelle was wearing a black fishnet top, silver vest, black miniskirt, black boots, and her hair curled. 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 was on the turnbuckles and flexed his muscles. Then he got back down and he & Rochelle stood next to Michael.

"Well, Batista," Michael said, "congratulations on the victory last night and after what it was a long, long road, how does it feel to be World Champion again?"

"I gotta tell you, Michael," Dave said, "I can't describe it. I mean, it feels so good; it's been a long, slow, journey back to the title. I mean, I had to claw and scratch and limp my way back up and the WWE Universe was there with me every step of my way; I wanna share this with you guys. I wanna thank you, thank you! And I haven't said this, now this is back where it belongs; it's not going anywhere for a long time."

"Well, earlier tonight, Chris Jericho invoked his rematch clause and General Manager Mike Adamle granted that and said that next week, you will defend that World Title against Jericho inside a steel cage. Are you concerned that your title reign may be short-lived?"

Batista laughed and said,

"No, not a concern in the world. I couldn't be happier; a steel cage match, that's what I do. That's my home, a steel cage is my playground, my comfort zone. That way, Chris Jericho has nowhere to run, nowhere to hide and at the end of the day, no more excuses and he will still be World Heavyweight Champion!"

Then Dave got on the turnbuckles and raised his World Title belt in the air and he got back down and he hugged Rochelle and raised his arms in the air as RAW went to a commercial break.

Later, it was time for the tag team match which was Dave and Shawn Michaels versus John "Bradshaw" Layfield and Shawn Michaels.

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 with a blank stare on his face and suddenly, the Titantron showed the backstage area where John "Bradshaw" Layfield was beating on Shawn Michaels. JBL tossed him to the wall and put him on a traveling case and tried to toss him into the wall, but Shawn's head banged into a fluorescent light on the ceiling. JBL continued beating on Shawn and then he tossed him through a side door and closed it before he walked away.

Chris was all-smiles watching the beating and then got into the ring as JBL's entrance theme played and walked down the ramp as Chris gave a slow clap for JBL who smirked on the way to the ring. Then Dave's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Rochelle following him. Dave and Rochelle were not pleased as 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 on the apron and Dave was on the turnbuckles and raised his World Title belt in the air and he got in the ring and stared Chris and JBL who smiled at Dave. Then Rochelle walked over to the corner where Dave was and the referee explained the situation to Dave who just shrugged his shoulders and said let's go and JBL left the ring and called for the bell.

Chris started talking trash to Dave and the two locked up before Dave shoved Chris down on the mat and Chris made a tag to JBL and Dave and JBL locked up and Dave got JBL in the corner before a clean break but JBL immediately got some right hands and clubbed Dave in the back before hitting his head onto the turnbuckle. Then JBL went to whip Dave in the corner but Dave reversed whipping JBL hard and landed a clothesline before kicking JBL in the midsection and landing a vertical suplex for a two count and Dave got a right hand but JBL shoved Dave to the corner and held onto him as he made the tag to Chris. Chris kicked Dave in the midsection and got a few forearms before applying a corner foot choke and as Chris distracted the referee and JBL took a cheap shot and landed a boot to the face.

Chris crawled to the corner and Dave got a few shoulder blocks before he grabbed Chris and Chris kicked Dave in the midsection landing him in the middle rope and Chris was kicking Dave's injured knee and grabbed him as he made the tag to JBL and Chris got Dave in the corner kicking him before he got a few right hands. As the referee pulled JBL away and was distracted, Chris grabbed Dave but Dave got a back elbow and landed a right hand to JBL and a kick to the midsection and he went to whip JBL but JBL reversed and Dave got a shoulder block and landed a right hand sending JBL out of the ring. He then flung Chris onto the apron and bounced off the ropes to knock Chris off the apron with a clothesline into the announce table and JBL stared back at Dave in disbelief while Batista screamed at them to come on.

Then Chris got back into the ring and Dave went after Chris but Chris got a jawbreaker and bounced off the ropes to land a clothesline and Chris had Dave in a sleeper hold and Dave got to his feet and rammed Chris' back in the corner and Dave charged but Chris got a boot to the face and went after Dave but Dave came back with a clothesline and Dave grabbed Chris and hit his head on the turnbuckle and he whipped Chris to the ropes but Chris kicked Dave in the face and JBL went for a right hand but Dave blocked and knocked JBL off the apron. Then Chris got an enziguri to the head and covered for a two count and Chris grabbed Dave and choked him on the middle rope and as Chris distracted the referee, JBL went for another cheap shot but backed away and Chris grabbed Dave and made the tag to JBL. Chris held onto Dave as JBL landed a swinging neckbreaker before bouncing off the ropes and landing an elbow drop for a two count and JBL got Dave in the corner landing several right hands and the referee pulled him back and was distracted as Chris choked Dave.

Then JBL tagged in Chris and got a baseball slide and showed off before Dave rolled to the apron to recover but Chris landed a baseball slide dropkick that sent Dave flying into the guardrail and then Chris got out of the ring and threw Dave back in the ring and Chris climbed the turnbuckle and waited for Dave to get up and Dave fired back with a clothesline and the two men were down and Chris made a tag to JBL and JBL kicked Dave in the back and went for a right hand but Dave blocked and landed a right hand of his own a few times and he went to whip JBL but JBL reversed and applied a sleeper hold but Dave landed a side suplex. The two men were down and JBL crawled to make the tag to Chris and Chris went after Dave and Dave got a clothesline twice and Chris went to the corner where Dave splashed him and he whipped Chris to another corner hard and got a shoulder tackle and he went for a power slam but Chris escaped and he bounced off the ropes and Dave landed a tilt-a-whirl slam and then he knocked JBL off the apron.

Dave kicked Chris in the midsection and went for the Batista Bomb but Chris slipped out and nailed the Codebreaker for a near fall and then Chris made the tag to JBL and he whipped Dave to the ropes and got a boot to the face and he stalked Dave as he got up and he bounced off the ropes and went for the Clothesline from Hell but Dave ducked and nailed a spear. Suddenly, Shawn Michaels was hobbling down to the ring clutching his ribs and Chris looked back hesitating for a tag as Shawn went to his corner and Chris got into the ring to distract the referee and Dave made the tag to Shawn but the ref didn't see it as Shawn punched away at JBL. The referee pulled Shawn away as Chris ran to grab the World Title belt and JBL held onto Dave and then Chris got into the ring and tried to use the belt on Dave but Dave ducked and so did JBL and Shawn went for Sweet Chin Music but Chris moved and bailed to the floor and then Dave landed a spinebuster and landed a Batista bomb and made the cover for the win.

Then Rochelle got into the ring to check on Dave who was laying on the floor and so did Shawn and they helped him to his feet as the referee gave Dave the World Title belt and raised his arms in the air. Then Dave and Rochelle stared at Chris who was standing at the top of the ramp and Chris smirked as RAW came to a close.

After RAW was over, Dave and Rochelle were in their hotel room and they were in the bed making love until Dave collapsed next to Rochelle and Rochelle cuddled in Dave's arms.

"Wow, are we gonna be like this every night?" Rochelle said.

"I'll say two more since I am a four-time World Heavyweight Champion," Dave said.

"Yeah, I can go for that; it has been a long journey. I missed my World Heavyweight Champion."

"I still got my Women's Champion."

"I have never doubted you; you never gave up and that's why I'm proud of you."

"And I'm proud of you."

Then Rochelle smiled as Dave leaned down and kissed her.
