Chapter 68: Fallen Angel

The next day, RAW was in Nicole and Rochelle's residing hometown of Tampa, Florida and it was also the celebration of the show's 800th episode.

On that night, Jeff was teaming up with his brother Matt against the Brian Kendrick and MVP and Dave was defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Chris Jericho in a steel cage match.

Nicole was walking down the hallway and when she reached the Women's Locker Room, she went inside and Jasmine was there looking at some pictures.

"Hey," Nicole said," Jasmine said.

"Hey. Jazz." Nicole said as she closed the door. "How are you?"

"I'm okay."

"What are you looking at?"

"Some pictures of my double date with Evan Bourne, Shayna, and Kofi Kingston.

"Oh, let me see."

Nicole sat next to Jasmine and looked at some pictures taken of a double date that happened the day after RAW last week in Tucson, Arizona.

"Oh, this is so cute," Nicole said looking at a picture of Evan and Jasmine.

"Yeah, Evan has a nice smile," Jasmine said.

"Wow, it looks like you and him are really close and having a good time together."

"Yeah, lucky for me he's residing here in Tampa which is four hours away from Tallahassee."

"Speaking of Evan, any news on his injury?"

"Well, some good news; Evan told that surgery will not be required to repair his torn ankle tendon as enough of the tendon was still in place; so he'll be out for twelve weeks."

"Oh, that's awesome."

"Yeah, now after tomorrow, I'm going to Europe with the rest of the gang and won't be able to see him for two weeks. But I'm going to bring him back something because I know he likes to collect souvenirs."

"That's nice. Hey, put that picture of you and Evan in a nice picture frame to take with you over Europe."

"I will."

"I'll talk to you later."

"Okay, bye."

Then Nicole and Jasmine hugged each other and Nicole left the locker room

Then RAW was on and Then Randy Orton's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. Randy walked down the ramp and got into the ring and asked for a microphone.

"Last week," Randy said, "I gave an ultimatum to Shane and Stephanie McMahon; either they fire Mike Adamle as RAW General Manager or I walk. Now in typical McMahon fashion, Shane and Stephanie have decided to make us wait until they grace us with their presence, but that's fine because I am not leaving until they come out here and address this issue and if you think I'm bluffing……try me."

Then Randy got out of the ring and then walked over in front of the announce table and sat down on a chair at ringside.

Jeff's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Brittany and Matt following him. Brittany was wearing a red and white lined ruched dress, black net stockings, and her hair in pigtails. Jeff did his usual bump and grind with Brittany and Matt raised his arm in the air as the pyro went off and the three walked down the ramp slapping the hands of the fans and got into the ring. Brittany posed with the Hardys as they got on the turnbuckles and raised their arms in the air and they got back down and were waving at Randy who was still sitting at ringside.

MVP's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain and he did his usual pose as fire was set off from the stage and he walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Then the Brian Kendrick's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Ezekiel Jackson following him and Brian did his usual dance down the ramp and got into the ring and he took off his jacket and gave it to Ezekiel. Then Ezekiel, Brittany, and Matt left the ring as the referee called for the bell.

MVP and Jeff circled around the ring and they locked up before MVP got a side headlock and Jeff shoved MVP to the ropes and MVP got a shouldertackle and covered for a one count and MVP got a forearm and a scoop slam before bouncing off the ropes and missing a knee drop. Then Jeff kicked MVP in the back and he went to whip MVP to the ropes but MVP reversed and missed a kick and Jeff took MVP down and got a leg drop in the groin and covered for a one count and made the tag to Matt.

Then the Hardys whipped MVP to the ropes and got a back elbow before Matt got a fist drop and Jeff got a leg drop at the same time before Matt covered for a one count and Matt made the tag to Jeff and Matt whipped MVP to the corner and got on all fours as Jeff hit the Poetry in Motion and covered for a two count. Brian distracted Jeff and Jeff went for the diving leg drop but MVP moved and he made the tag to Brian and Brian leaped into the ring to a stomp on Jeff's chest and Brian kicked Jeff in the head before making the two count and Brian kept kicking Jeff in the back and was punching away at him and Brian was stalking Jeff before landing a low dropkick for another two count.

Then Brian applied a short headlock but Jeff countered and kicked Brian in the midsection before landing a faceplant and the two men tagged in their partners and Matt got some right hands before whipping MVP to the ropes and got a back elbow. Then Matt whipped MVP to the corner and splashed him before landing a bulldog slam and a clothesline to Brian who got in the ring and Matt climbed the turnbuckle and landed a back elbow and got the Side Effect and went for the cover but Brian broke the count and was dancing before Matt went for the Twist of Fate but MVP escaped pushing Matt to the ropes and the two got a clothesline.

The two men were down and MVP tried for a tag but Jeff got in the ring and the referee pulled him back as MVP got a tag and landed some right hands but the referee pulled Brian because he didn't see a tag and Matt got the Twist of Fate as Jeff took advantage by climbing up the top turnbuckle and nailing the Swanton Bomb on MVP behind the referee's back as the referee was arguing with Brian and then Matt covered for the pin and the win.

Then Jeff and Brittany got into the ring and the three raised each other's arms in the air along with the referee. Then Matt grabbed his ECW Championship Title belt and he, Jeff, and Brittany hugged each other as RAW went to a commercial break.

A little later, Dave was going to be in an interview with Todd Grisham.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the World Heavyweight Champion, Batista," Todd said as Dave and Rochelle came forward.

Rochelle was wearing a black tie-back halter jumpsuit with metallic rings and cutouts at the abdomen.

"Batista, there have been many classic championship matches over the last 800 episodes of RAW," Todd said, "tonight, RAW expecting another one. How confident are you as you heading to a steel cage later tonight?"

"You know, Todd," Dave said, "it took me a long time to win this World Heavyweight Title back and I'm just not about to give it up. Chris Jericho, he's got every excuse in the world to why he didn't beat me last week at Cyber Sunday. Tonight, we're in a steel cage, no excuses, at the end of the night, Chris Jericho going home empty-handed and I'm going home World Heavyweight Champion."

Then Dave and Rochelle smiled and walked away.

Later, the Chain Gang Diva Squad was in the ring for their dance performance. The girls were wearing red camouflage print bustiers, red sparkling boy shorts, black boots, and red newsboy style caps.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Nicole, Kimberly, and Tina, the Chain Gang Diva Squad," Lillian announced.

Then "When I Grow Up" by the Pussycat Dolls started playing in the arena.

Boys call you sexy (What's up, sexy)

And you don't care what they say

See, everytime you turn around

They scream your name

Boys call you sexy (What's up, sexy)

And you don't care what they say (Yeah)

See, everytime you turn around

They scream your name

Now I've got a confession

When I was young, I wanted attention

And I promised myself that I'd do anything

Anything at all for them to notice me

But I ain't complaining

We all wanna be famous

So go ahead and say what you wanna say

You know what it's like to be nameless?

Want them to know what your name is?

'Cause see when I was younger I would say

When I grow up

I wanna be famous

I wanna be a star

I wanna be in movies

When I grow up

I wanna see the world

Drive nice cars

I wanna have groupies

When I grow up

Be on TV

People know me

Be on magazines

When I grow up

Fresh and clean

Number one chick when I step out on the scene

Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it

You just might get it

You just might get it

Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it

You just might get it

You just might get it

They used to tell me I was silly

Until I popped up on the TV

I always wanted to be a superstar

And knew that singing songs would get me this far

But I ain't complaining

We all wanna be famous

So go ahead and say what you wanna say

You know what it's like to be nameless?

Want them to know what your name is?

'Cause see when I was younger I would say

When I grow up

I wanna be famous

I wanna be a star

I wanna be in movies

When I grow up

I wanna see the world

Drive nice cars

I wanna have groupies

When I grow up

Be on TV

People know me

Be on magazines

When I grow up

Fresh and clean

Number one chick when I step out on the scene

Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it

You just might get it

You just might get it

Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it

You just might get it

You just might get it

After the song ended, the pyro in the turnbuckles lighted up and the crowd cheered and the Chain Gang Diva Squad bowed to the audience and waved at them as they left the ring.

Later, Nicole and Rochelle were alone in "Eddie's Angels" locker room because Chris Jericho had a conversation with Shane McMahon and Shane announced that the winner of his match against Dave tonight will defend the World Heavyweight Championship at Survivor Series against John Cena. Of course, Nicole and Rochelle knew this would come back to haunt them.

"So……." Nicole said.

"So what?" Rochelle said.

"Do you wanna go through this again?"

"As much as I want my husband to remain the World Heavyweight Champion, no; I know we can't convince Stephanie or Shane McMahon whatsoever; but it is what it is."

"Yeah."

"But I hate Chris Jericho so much, I'll do whatever I can to make sure Dave remains World Heavyweight Champion."

"Then do it; put an end to Jericho's misery so he can finally shut the hell up."

"I'll do just that."

Then Rochelle left the Angels' locker room.

Later, it was time for the World Heavyweight Championship Steel Cage match.

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 got inside the steel cage. Chris stared at the crowd 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 Dave got into the steel cage and closed the door. Dave stared down at Chris and climbed the cage and raised his arm in the air and he climbed back down and he stared at Chris as he gave his title belt to the referee and the referee raised it up in the air and called for the bell.

Dave stared at Chris for a few seconds with a smile on his face and the two locked up before Dave shoved Chris down and the two locked up again before Dave shoved Chris down again and Chris slapped Dave in the face and Dave lifted Chris to the corner where he landed a few shoulder blocks. Then Dave whipped Chris to the corner but Chris leaped and tried to by climbing the cage but Dave yanked him off the cage wall to bring him back inside the ring before landing a power slam and Dave bounced off the ropes and landed a clothesline for a one count and Dave grabbed Chris and hit his head on the turnbuckle and got a couple of right hands and a kick to the midsection before applying a corner foot choke and he whipped Chris to the ropes but Chris got a kick to the face and he bounced off the ropes but Dave darted Chris to the cage wall and choked him with his boot and he did it again twice.

Then Dave kicked Chris in the midsection and went for the Dave Bomb but Chris countered and got a chop block from behind and got Dave locked in the Walls of Jericho and Chris then demanded the door be opened. Dave read the strategy and grabbed Chris' leg before propelling Chris away and into the cage door and Chris almost fell out of the cage on accident and Rochelle kicked Chris sending him back inside and Dave pulled Chris back inside the cage. Dave fought Chris near the door with right hands to the head and then Chris slammed the cage door on Dave's left leg to begin his attack. Then Chris kicked Dave's leg as the referee closed the door and dragged Dave to the middle of the ring and got an elbow drop on the injured leg and Chris kicked it and Dave got a right hand and the two traded blows before Dave got a spinning side slam for a two count.

Then Dave whipped Chris to the corner and splashed him and he whipped Chris to the ropes but Chris got a kick to the face and he bounced off the ropes but Dave got Chris on his shoulders as he was hitting Dave and Dave's leg gave out as Chris covered for a two count. Chris was stalking Dave and Dave was getting up and Chris went for the Codebreaker but Dave held on and ran Chris to the cage wall and Dave got a breather and Dave tried to muster an attack with a spear on Chris, but Chris moved and Dave ran into the cage wall. Chris then tried to climb out but Dave opened the cage door and grabbed Chris as he climbed down. Dave bearhugged him, then pulled him back into the ring throwing him down and Chris bounced off the ropes but Dave landed a spinebuster.

Dave went for the Batista Bomb but Chris grabbed the cage wall to avoid it and start climbing again and suddenly, Dave climbed the ropes holding onto Chris and got a few right hands to the head and Chris bounced to the mat and Dave crotched himself on the top rope. Chris was the first one up as he started climbing again but Dave got up and grabbed Chris for a Batista Bomb from the top rope but Chris held onto the cage cable and took a weapon from the corner. He then smashed Dave repeatedly in the forehead to knock him out and draw blood and Rochelle saw it and climbed the cage to push Chris back in the ring and Chris kicked Rochelle knocking her down and hitting her hip and her head on the floor. Dave tried to grab Chris one more time but Chris kicked Dave in the knees and then fell to the ground to win the match.

Dave slumped to the mat inside the cage in shock and the referee helped up Chris and gave him the World Title belt and the referee raised Chris' arm in the air as Chris walked around the steel cage and Dave noticed Rochelle laying unconscious on the floor as the referees tended to her. Chris grinned slightly as he slowly walked down the ramp and the referee helped Dave to his feet as he was exasperated with blood trickling down his forehead and out of the steel cage. Dave quickly walked over to Rochelle as EMTs went over to her and Chris raised his title belt in the air with a smile on his face as RAW came to a close.

At the hospital, Nicole, Amanda, and Cryme Tyme were sitting in the waiting room and Amanda was laying on Shad's lap. They have been waiting for over an hour until Dave and Rochelle's half-brother Taylor went inside the waiting room.

"Hey, Dave," Nicole said as she stood up. "How's Rochelle?"

"Well, the doctor says she has an concussion; that'll be alright. But she has also dislocated her right hip."

"Oh, my God," Amanda said. "How long is she gonna be out?"

"It could take eight weeks the doctor said," Taylor said, "so that means……"

"She's gonna have to forfeit the Women's Championship."

"Yeah," Dave said.

Then Nicole shook her head knowing full well that Chris Jericho would go this far into reclaiming the World Heavyweight Championship.

A few minutes later, Nicole was standing outside Rochelle's room watching her lay on the hospital bed. Nicole shed a tear as her phone vibrated and she answered the call without looking at her caller ID.

"Hello?" Nicole said. "Oh, hi, John……Yeah, I'm okay……Rochelle has a concussion and a dislocated hip……Eight weeks…….No, I'm not home yet but I will be in a few minutes……Yeah, it's gonna be you and Chris Jericho at Survivor Series but I want you to hurt him the same way he has hurt Rochelle…….okay, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye."

Then Nicole ended the call.
