Chapter 79: The Slammy Awards
RAW was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and it was also the night of the returning Slammy Awards. On that night, Superstar of the Year nominees Jeff was facing Chris Jericho, John was facing Edge, and Dave was facing Triple H.
For the Angels, they were excited for their counterparts being nominated in the Slammy Awards. Nicole was nominated for Couple of the Year with John against Dave and Rochelle, Rochelle and Amanda were both nominated for Diva of the Year, John was also nominated for Extreme Moment of the Year against Jeff, and Cryme Tyme and the Boyz in Motion were nominated for Tag Team of the Year.
"Eddie's Angels" were in their locker room and Nicole was helping Amanda with her outfit.
"Okay, perfect," Nicole said.
Amanda was wearing a pink catsuit with silver straps and her hair in a high ponytail.
"Oh, yeah, I love it," Amanda said looking at herself in the mirror.
"You are a pro at this," Buffy said walking over to Nicole and Amanda. "You know, I am so looking forward to seeing the premiere of your clothing line, Checkpoint, with John."
"Oh, you are gonna see a preview of what I got in store right after Armageddon," Nicole said. "I can't wait."
Then there was a knock at the door and Ulysses went over and opened it to reveal Rochelle.
"Hey, Rochelle," Ulysses said. "Come on in."
Rochelle walked inside the Angels' locker room with her crutches.
"Hey, Rochelle," the Angels said.
"Hello, girls," Rochelle said.
"Let me guess," Nicole said, "you're here because we're in line of who's the hottest couple in the WWE."
"Oh, yeah and because I'm up against Amanda in the Diva of the Year," Rochelle said, "I mean, everyone knows nobody can top us and we get all the attention; so good luck."
"I don't need luck," Amanda said.
Then RAW was on and it was time for the first Slammy Award to be presented: Tag Team of the Year.
"Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the very first Slammy Award of the evening, please welcome Maria and Festus," Lillian Garcia announced.
Then Jesse and Festus' entrance theme played and Festus came out from the curtain with Maria following him. Maria waved to the crowd and blew a kiss as she and Festus stepped in front of the podium.
"The 2008 Tag Team of the Year category exemplifies the true definition of unity and teamwork," Maria said.
Then Maria was waiting for Festus to say something but he didn't.
"What Festus is about to say is the nominees are……"
The nominees for Tag Team of the Year were Carlito & Primo, Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes, the Miz & John Morrison, Boyz in Motion and Cryme Tyme.
"And the Slammy goes to...…" Maria said as she opened the envelope. "……the Boyz in Motion!"
Then the Boyz in Motion's entrance theme played and they came out from the curtain. They walked over to Maria and hugged her as she handed off the trophies to the twins and Jason & Jeremy shook Festus' hand.
"May I say that this is the one of the most amazing moments in our career," Jason said. "I mean, we've been here over a year, Brent and Ryan won the World Tag Team Championship, we headlined Wrestlemania 24 in our hometown of Orlando, Florida, this is why you guys made us who we are."
"And I have to say that these guys are my best friends and they truly took the WWE by storm by what they do and what they stand for," Jeremy said. "It's gonna be me and Jason one day and we're gonna do whatever it takes to become the World Tag Team Champions."
"My brother and I are honored to be part of this group and we watched wrestling together growing up and now our dream has come true," Ryan said as he and Brent slapped hands. "Winning this award proved everything."
"And there is one more thing left to say," Brent said, "we would like to dedicate this award to our friend Delancey Scott who was just crowned the winner of 'Dancing with the Stars.' And she told us that if we won the Tag Team of the Year, we would make this big announcement and here it is: she is returning to RAW at the beginning of 2009! Thank you."
Then John Morrison's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with the Miz following him. The two stared at the boys as the twins made a "loser" gesture and the boys went to the back.
A little later, John was going to be in an interview with Todd Grisham.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena," Todd said as John and Nicole came forward.
Nicole was wearing a pink midriff tank top with silver straps, denim jeans with a pink scarf, and her hair curled.
"John, just wanna get your reaction to the footage we just saw," Todd said referring to last week's attack on RAW.
"Hustle, loyalty, and respect," John said, "three words that former World Champion Chris Jericho thinks no longer exist. It's a damn shame, Todd, because when I was at home with a broken neck, my dog Lou, he became I huge fan of Monday Night RAW, as a matter of fact, he became a huge Chris Jericho fan. Everytime, Chris Jericho walked down the ramp, Lou began to clean himself and he would keep cleaning himself and then he would try to throw up. You know how long it would take for dogs to throw up and he would actually throw up but it made me sick, it made Nicole sick, hell, it made him sick. So I banned my dog from watching RAW, I banned him from watching RAW until Armageddon, which if you'll break it down, it is absolutely ridiculous! Chris Jericho, I'm sorry about your son; I never met him, I don't know him, but it was not my intention to cause you any turmoil at home. But did you ever stop and think, did you ever break it down that he was running around the house all that time doing 'You can't see me, dad' and 'The Champ is here, dad' not because he was poisoned by the WWE or poisoned by me, it's because he saw his father become a smug snot-nose punk who needs his teeth knocked down his throat! As a matter of fact, if Chris Jericho had been beaten up by four individuals last week, he would be dead center in the middle of that ring right now asking for me to be stripped of the World Heavyweight Championship, demanding for my indefinite suspension, and halting this very broadcast until he selfishly got what he wanted. I'm not gonna do that. Todd, tonight's the Slammys. We got a great show, I got a match against Edge, champion versus champion, it's gonna be a good one. Plus, that's not how I handle my business. Tonight, I'm going to take care business the only way I know how. Tonight, I'm gonna fight Chris Jericho; oh, yeah, Chris, I'm not gonna be sneaky about it. You don't have to wonder if I'm coming to get you. Tonight, I am coming to get you! These words do exist, Chris: hustle, loyalty, respect. That is the code in which I live by and tonight from me personally, you get a re-education of the definition of the word "respect!"
Then John and Nicole walked away.
Then it was time for the Slammy Award for Best Finishing Maneuver.
"Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the Slammy Award for Best Finishing Maneuver, please welcome Candice Michelle, Amanda, and Cryme Tyme."
Then Cryme Tyme's entrance theme played and they came out from the curtain with Candice and Amanda following him and the four strutted to the podium.
"Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo," JTG said. "Yo."
"Yo," Candice said.
"Yo."
"Yo."
"Hey, yo," Shad said.
"Hey, yo."
"Yo," Cryme Tyme and Amanda said.
"What's really hood?" JTG said. "Check this out, Stone Cold Stunner,"
"Yo, yo, yo," Shad said, "I got a better one for you, yo, Rock Bottom."
"Yo, check this out, check this out, check this out, figure four leglock, whoo!"
"I like that, I like that. Yo, but I bet everybody likes the Sharpshooter."
"True that," Amanda said. "With timeless moves like that catch countless opponents off guard turning superstars into legends."
"You dig?" JTG said.
"And that is why it's our honor to present the Slammy Awards for the Best Finishing Maneuver of 2008," Candice said. "How many of you would my to see her best finishing maneuver? And the nominees are……."
The nominees for Best Finishing Maneuver were the Undertaker's Hell's Gate, Randy Orton's RKO, Evan Bourne's Shooting Star Press, and the Big Show's Knockout Punch.
"And the Slammy goes to.….." Candice said as she realized the Slammy Award trophy had suddenly disappeared. "Where's the Slammy?"
"I don't know," Shad said.
Then JTG had it and gave it to Shad and Candice looked behind Shad as Shad then handed it off to JTG behind Candice's back before Candice looked behind and took it from Amanda and took it back. Then Cryme Tyme and Amanda simply walked away.
"And the award goes to……" Candice said as she opened the envelope. "……Evan Bourne for the Shooting Star Press. Unfortunately, Evan can't be here because he's suffering from a severe ankle injury; however on Evan's behalf, accepting the award is Smackdown Diva and member of the Angelic Coalition, Jasmine Morgan."
Then Jasmine's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.
Jasmine was wearing a white tutu dress with a pink bow, white boots, white lace hand warmers, and her hair curled.
Jasmine walked over to Candice and hugged her as Candice handed Jasmine the Slammy Award trophy.
"Wow, well, I'm sure Evan is watching and he would be so proud that he won this award because let's face it," Jasmine said, "I can't get enough of the Shooting Star Press because it totally takes my breath away and so does Evan."
Then Jasmine giggled and smiled as Mike Knox's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain and stared at Jasmine who tried to maintain a pleasant demeanor. Mike tried to take the Slammy Award trophy but Jasmine backed away quickly as Mike walked towards her and Jasmine tumbled on the ramp and became frightened as the Boyz in Motion came out and was beating up Mike from behind. The boys pounded and stomped on him as Jasmine watched and as Mike was laying on the ramp unconscious, Jasmine walked over to the boys and walked to the back.
"Jasmine, are you all right?" Jason said.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Jasmine said as she was shaking a little. "Oh, my God, I didn't think he would try to come after me; I thought he would leave me alone."
"That's why we're here," Jeremy said. "That's why we're not gonna let Mike Knox come after you again."
"Jasmine, are you okay?" Christina said as she and Madison came forward. "Did Mike Knox hurt you?"
"No, he didn't touch me," Jasmine said, "I don't know what he was trying to do."
"You know what?" Madison said. "This is ridiculous; why did he attack Evan Bourne and why is he going after Jasmine?"
"Nothing and I'm tired of it," Christina said. "Guys, thank you; Jasmine, let's go."
Then the Coalition walked away.
A little later, it was time for the Slammy Award for Extreme Moment of the Year.
"Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the Slammy Award for Extreme Moment of the Year, please welcome Tiffany and Matt Hardy."
Then Matt's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Tiffany arm-in-arm and the two stepped up to the podium.
"First of all, it's great to be here in the birthplace of Extreme," Matt said. "The following superstars have proven that they will go to extraordinary lengths to leave a permanent mark on their opponent in history."
"The nominees for the 2008 Extreme Moment of the Year are…….," Tiffany said.
The nominees for Most Extreme Moment of the Year were John versus John "Bradshaw" Layfield in the Parking Lot Brawl at the Great American Bash, Undertaker's crash landing onto a table against Edge at One Night Stand, Chris Jericho putting Shawn Michaels through the Jeritron, and Jeff coming off the Titantron with a Swanton Bomb on Randy Orton.
"And the Slammy goes to...…" Tiffany said as she opened the envelope.
"……Jeff Hardy," Matt said as he applauded.
Then Jeff's entrance theme played as he came out from the curtain with Brittany following him. Brittany was wearing a pink lace bow dress and her hair in a side curly ponytail. Brittany applauded for Jeff as he celebrated and the two walked over to Matt and hugged him & Tiffany and Matt handed the trophy to Jeff and he raised the trophy in the air. Jeff then approached the podium as he set the trophy down.
"It all started years ago on a trampoline in North Carolina," Jeff said as he slapped hands with Matt, "and now, it comes to Sunday. I don't care if I walk out, I don't care if I crawl out, I don't care if I have to be carried out; Triple H, Edge, I am leaving Armageddon WWE champion."
Then Brittany grabbed the trophy as 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. Then he got back down 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 Brittany got out of the ring and the referee called for the bell.
Jeff and Chris locked up and Chris got Jeff in a side headlock before Jeff twisted Chris' arm and Chris countered twisting Jeff's arm and then he went to whip Jeff but Jeff reversed whipping Chris to the corner and Chris went after Jeff but Jeff kicked Chris in the midsection before landing a couple of right hands and hitting Chris' head on the turnbuckle before kicking him and hitting his head on another turnbuckle. Then Jeff got a couple more right hands before Chris kicked Jeff in the midsection and landing a huge forearm hitting a side suplex for a two count and Chris playfully slapped around Jeff before Jeff got a couple of right hands and kicking him in the midsection before he went to whip Chris reversed and Jeff kicked him in the face and dumping him to the floor and wiping his hands of Jeff.
But Jeff held onto the ropes and Chris got a springboard dropkick off the ropes knocking Jeff to the floor. Jeff eventually made his way back into the ring where Jericho kicked him in the back and landed a snap mare and slapped on a modified rear naked choke and Jeff got to his feet and landed back elbows to the midsection but Chris got a right hand and bounced off the ropes as Jeff landed a clothesline and the two men were down as Chris got to his feet first and Jeff blocked a right hand as he landed right hands of his own. Then he went to whip Chris but Chris reversed and landed a couple of clotheslines before kicking Chris in the midsection and taking him down landing a leg drop to the groin and he bounced off the ropes and landing another clothesline for a two count.
Then Jeff got a faceplant and he climbed on the top turnbuckle and Chris tripped him and he climbed up clubbing Jeff in the back and Jeff shoved him off as he was hitting Chris and Jeff went for the Swanton Bomb but Chris moved and Chris then nailed a Lionsault into a cover for a two count. Chris went for the Walls of Jericho but Jeff countered with a leg strength flipping Chris off and Chris went at a second time but Jeff got a roll-up for a two count and Jeff went to kick Chris but Chris grabbed his leg and Jeff got a spinning mule kick before nailing the diving leg drop and Jeff went to whip Chris but Chris reversed as Jeff slowed down and Chris bounced off the ropes and missed a clothesline and Jeff climbed the turnbuckle and landed the Whisper in the Wind for a two count. Then Jeff stalked Chris and kicked him in the midsection and went for the Twist of Fate but Chris countered and spun Jeff right into the Codebreaker and Chris made the cover for the win.
Chris quickly slipped out of the ring and looked around the arena wondering if John was going to get him as the referee raised his arm in the air. Then Chris slowly backed up the ramp and then smirked as the referee raised his arm in the air again as RAW went to a commercial break.
A few minutes later, it was time for the Slammy Award for Couple of the Year.
"And now, presenting the Slammy Award for Couple of the Year, please welcome Kelly Kelly and Kane."
Kelly Kelly's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain waving to the crowd as she went over to the podium and then fire appeared on the stage as Kane's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. He walked towards the podium particularly not happy about presenting the award.
"Throughout WWE's history, there have been many prominent couples who have touched our hearts," Kelly Kelly said. "Love is a wonderful thing?"
Kelly Kelly tried to maintain a pleasant demeanor as Kane stared her down.
"The last time I was involved in a relationship," Kane said. "I tombstoned a priest."
"Okay and here are the nominees for the 2008 Couple of the Year."
The nominees for Couple of the Year were Santino Marella & Beth Phoenix, Edge & Vickie Guerrero, William Regal & Layla, John & Nicole, and Batista & Rochelle Kennedy.
"And the Slammy goes to.….." Kelly said as she opened the envelope……"Batista and Rochelle Kennedy."

Rochelle was wearing a black draped neck halter top with an open back with string accent straps, black pants, and her hair curled. Dave and Rochelle walked over to the podium as Kelly Kelly handed the trophy to Dave and she & Kane walked away.
"Well, I don't have much to say," Dave said, "but I might say this: how could a guy like me end up marrying a hot, sexy, strong Diva like Rochelle? Thank you."
"Well, I'm very lucky to be married to an animal like Batista……" Rochelle said, "and I'll bet none of the other couples, except John Cena and Nicole Mitchell, have the same fire we have……especially in the bedroom. Thank you."
Then Santino Marella's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Beth Phoenix following him. The two were exactly happy as Santino had his hands on his hips making a disappointed face. He and Beth stared at Dave & Rochelle and Dave waved as he and Rochelle walked away.
Meanwhile, Nicole was outside "Eddie's Angels" locker room talking to the Chain Gang Diva Squad.
"Are you sure you don't want us here?" Kimberly said. "I mean, we don't want Chris Jericho coming after you."
"Yes, I'm sure," Nicole said, "and it's already taken care of. Chris is gonna be a punk to run if John comes after him and Randy Orton & his little punks won't get involved either. If Chris wants to take this one step further, I'll let him have it but John will make the first move."
"Okay, it's your call," Tina said.
"You just be careful," Kayla said.
"I will," Nicole said.
Then the CDGS walked away.
A few minutes later, it was time for the Slammy Award for Diva of the Year.
"Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the Slammy Award for Diva of the Year, please welcome Melina and the ECW General Manager Theodore Long."
Then Theodore Long's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Melina following him. Melina returned to RAW after an ankle injury that happened back in the 2008 WWE Draft Lottery. The two strutted to the podium and were dancing along.
"All WWE Divas possess beauty, talent, ambition and athleticism," Melina said. "The one thing that they all share above all else is that they are……
"Hot," Theodore said.
"And the nominees for Diva of the Year are……."

Then Rochelle's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain as she walked over to Melina and hugged her & Theodore and Melina handed the trophy to Rochelle.
"Wow, with a bum hip and all, I still prevailed," Rochelle said. "So nice try, Chris Jericho, and I hope John Cena beats the holy hell out of you."
Beth was trying to hold up Santino in the ring after he was beaten down in the hands of Finlay & Hornswoggle and she dropped Santino like a bad habit and was mad as she left the ring and walked up the ramp and then got in Rochelle's face. The two then stared down before Beth shoved Rochelle and Melina took a step and landed a straight forearm to Beth and the two brawled on stage for a few moments as Santino walked up trying to assist but Melina pushed Beth down and Beth went straight into Santino's crotch. Theodore went to check on Melina as Rochelle was laughing and Beth realized what had happened and tried to help Santino who screamed like a girl looked he was going to throw up while bent over at the waist. Then Rochelle, Theodore, and Melina walked away as RAW went to a commercial break.
Later, it was time for the 2-on-3 handicap match which was Triple H and Dave versus Randy Orton, Manu, and Cody Rhodes.
Earlier, Randy was complaining that he wasn't nominated for Superstar of the Year and instead of Dave and Triple H facing each other in a match, Randy decided that those two should face him, Cody, and Manu and it became official.
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 standing next to him and the two walked down the ramp and Dave got into the ring and helped Rochelle get in as well and Dave got on the turnbuckles flexing his muscles as Rochelle applauded for him. Dave got back down and Triple H's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain. He walked down the and ramp to the apron of the ring and did his usual thing of spitting out his water and then he got into the ring and slapped hands with Dave as he got on the turnbuckles and raised his arms in the air and he got back down as he hugged Dave and Rochelle. Then Randy Orton's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Cody Rhodes and Manu following him.

Dave tried to stand on his feet as Triple H and Rochelle stared at Randy and Rochelle shook her head as RAW went to a commercial break.
A little later, it was time for the final Slammy Award for Superstar of the Year.
"Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the final 2008 Slammy Award of the evening, Stephanie McMahon," Lillian announced as Stephanie McMahon was at the podium.
"Tonight, it is my honor to present the 2008 Superstar of the Year award," Stephanie said. "This individual epitomizes everything the WWE Superstar should be and this award recognizes their achievements. The nominees are….."
The nominees for Superstar of the Year were Jeff, Chris Jericho, Dave, Edge, Triple H, and John.
"And the Slammy for the 2008 Superstar of the Year goes to.….." Stephanie said as she opened the envelope. "……Chris Jericho."
Then Chris Jericho's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain and again looked around the arena wondering if John was going to get him. Chris walked over to Stephanie who handed him the Slammy Award trophy and shook his hand and walked away.
"First of all……" Chris said.
Then Chris grabbed the Slammy Award trophy and walked down the ramp and got into the ring before he asked for the microphone and stared at the crowd.
"First of all," Chris said, "I wanna say how extremely ecstatic I am that none of you were allowed to cast your vote to decide the winners of for these awards tonight because you all are nothing more than mindless sheep who are steered into whatever direction you are told to be in. You are biased, you're easily influenced, you do not have the capabilities to decide something like this fairly and you know it's true. And the truth is I knew I was gonna be the superstar of 2008 because I am the best in the world today and you will sit there and listen to the list of accolades that I have accrued over the past 12 months. I became the Intercontinental Champion for a record-setting eighth time, I became the king of the ladder match and most importantly, I became the World Heavyweight Champion, not once, not twice, but three times, once at Unforgiven, once on RAW, and once this Sunday, when I beat John Cena and regain what is mine at Armageddon. But you see, it hasn't all been victories for me, no. I also lost something as well in the midst of one of the greatest victories in WWE history, Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho. There's Shawn Michaels, he lost an identity when I threw Shawn Michaels through the Jeritron, I got rid of a facade, he lost the persona that he created just to please all of you; an albatross that was hung around his neck for a better part of a decade and losing it was one of the best feelings I've ever had in my entire life. You see, he was becoming exactly what John Cena is today: a pandering, patronizing sycophant that wants to please all of you, that wants to make all of you so happy and it makes me sick. All of you liars and cheaters and hypocrites, so I can't think of a better way to close out my banner year of 2008 by defeating and destroying John Cena this Sunday at Armageddon and once again wear the World Heavyweight Championship around my waist. Do you understand what I'm saying all of you right now?"
Then John's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Nicole following him. The two charged into the ring and Chris bailed out of the ring and disappeared into the crowd as Edge's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain and raised his WWE Championship Title belt in the air as the pyro went off. Then he walked down the ramp and slid into the ring and he got one of the turnbuckles and raised his arms in the air. Then he got back down as Nicole left the ring and the referee called for the bell.
John and Edge charged at each other before Edge got a knee to the midsection and clubbed John in the back and we went to whip him but John reversed and got a back elbow and then a clothesline. Then John whipped Edge hard to the corner and then got a faceplant before John dumped Edge over the top rope to the floor with a clothesline. Then John got out of the ring and threw Edge back into the ring and as John got into the ring, Edge was clubbing John in the back and applied a rear-naked choke hold and John got to his feet and kicked Edge in the midsection and got a right hand before he bounced off the ropes and Edge got a dropkick for a two count. Edge got a couple of forearms in the corner and then a back elbow in the neck and John fought back with a couple of right hands and John was about to whip Edge but Edge reversed and got a flapjack for a two count and he applied the rear-naked choke hold and John got to his feet and powered out before the two traded blows and John kicked in the midsection and bounced off the ropes and landed a running neck snap before Edge got a boot to the face.
Edge then backed into the corner and wanted the spear, but John charged Edge with a big shoulder tackle twice and landing the sit-out hip toss and John did the "You can't see me" and bounced off the ropes to land the Five Knuckle Shuffle and John went for the FU but Edge slipped out and went for the DDT but John countered and ducked a clothesline and went for the FU again but Edge slipped out again and John then flipped Edge over and went the FU a third time only to have Edge counter into a roll-up for a two count. John then caught Edge with a drop toe hold and applied the STFU and suddenly, John dropped the hold and ran out of the ring where Chris Jericho was and the two brawled around the ring and went over the guardrail contining to fight.
Edge was left alone in the ring only to be attacked from behind by Triple H and he punching away at Edge and he hit his head on the turnbuckle and continued punching Edge and then Jeff got into the ring and dropkicked Triple H from behind. Jeff speared Edge and was punching away and then Triple H recovered and kicked Jeff in the back and tossed him out of the ring and landed a spine buster on Edge before clotheslining him over the top rope to the floor. Then Jeff flew off the ring steps with a dropkick onto Edge on the floor and Triple H stared at the two as Edge ran up the ramp and collapsed on the stage and Jeff got up and walked up the ramp staring back at Triple H, who remained in the ring by himself as RAW came to a close.
After RAW was over, Nicole and Rochelle were at the hotel balcony of Dave and Rochelle's hotel room.
"I can't believe this," Rochelle said, "Chris Jericho, the 2008 Superstar of the Year? How did he end up winning the award? This is a sham."
"After everything he's done?" Nicole said. "You're right, this is a sham. That should be John's winning moment, no offense."
"You know what? If I'm gonna be gone for three more weeks or so and Chris Jericho is running around opening his big fat mouth calling the WWE Universe liars and hypocrites, you know, for sure, John's gotta put a stop to this. Randy Orton, same thing with my husband, only he's much crazier.":
"Of course, Dave waited three years to shut his mouth and he finally gets to do it this coming Sunday."
"Yeah."
Meanwhile, Jasmine was in her hotel room on her cell phone talking to Evan Bourne.
"Yeah, baby, I got it right here," Jasmine said as she was on the bed with the Slammy Award trophy. "I am so happy for you and I'll be even more happier once you return because I miss you so much……Don't worry, I'll make the trip to Florida this week so you can put this trophy where it really belongs so Mike Knox won't try to grab it…….I will and Evan……be safe……Bye."
Then Jasmine ended the call.
Jasmine sighed because she wanted so bad to tell Evan that she loves him but hasn't had the courage to say it yet. Then she went over to the nightstand and grabbed the picture of her and Evan together and look at it with her hand all over it.
"I really love you, Evan," Jasmine said. "I do."
Then Jasmine sighed again as she held the picture to her chest and fell on the bed.
Remember what Evan said in the April issue of WWE Magazine: "You don't touch another man's girl, and you don't take his Slammy Award."
