Chapter 82: Retribution Part 2

The next day, RAW was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Brittany waking up in the bed of her and Jeff's hotel room with a smile on her face and saw that Jeff was looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Good morning, Mr. WWE Champion," Brittany said.

"Good morning, Ms. Divas Champion," Jeff said as he leaned down and kissed Brittany.

"Last night was the best night of my life and I know that things will get better."

"Me too, so now that we're engaged, when do you want to have the wedding?"

"How about sometime during the summer?"

"That's fine."

"But you know we have a busy schedule traveling here and there, so we gotta pick a real good date."

"I'm sure we'll find something; all that matters is that I love you."

"I love you too."

Several minutes later, Brittany was walking down the hallway at the arena in Philadelphia and as she reached "Eddie's Angels'" locker room, she went inside.

"Hey, Brittany," Ulysses said.

"Hey," Brittany said.

"Well, the future Mrs. Jeff Hardy," Nicole said, "it looks like you got up on the right side of the bed this morning."

"Hey, after last night, I'm so much in a good mood."

"I can see that," Amanda said.

"I also have a huge favor to ask you."

"Okay," Buffy said.

"I was wondering if you'll help me plan the wedding because it's hard not having my parents around and having my grandparents around."

"Of course, we'll help you plan the wedding," Nicole said, "it'll be an honor."

"Thank you."

"When are you and Jeff plan on getting married?" Buffy asked.

"Sometime in the summer."

"That's good enough."

"Besides, speaking of that," Nicole said, "John and I have a wedding anniversary coming up next week in Toronto. I'll bet John is planning something really special; I know him too well."

"Wow, you've been married to him for two years?" Amanda said.

"Yes, he is the best thing that has ever happened in my life; without him, I'd be nothing. Now we have a reality show and our clothing line happening next month."

"You two are envied everyday, you got everything," Buffy said.

"Well, I love you too."

"So, Brittany, how about we start helping you with the basics of your upcoming wedding?"

"Let's get started."

Meanwhile, Skye was in the hallway on her cell phone talking to her mom and didn't notice that C.M. Punk was walking behind her and when she ended the call……

"Hey, Skye," Punk said.

That started Skye when she screamed and dropped her cell phone to the floor and the battery fell out.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Punk said as he bent down with Skye, "I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay," Skye said as she was helped picking up the pieces of her cell phone. "Thank you."

"No problem."

"By the way, I didn't get the chance to tell you congratulations on your Intercontinental Championship finals match last night; so congratulations."

"Thank you, I appreciate it."

Then Skye paused as she felt nervous around Punk and he said,

"So what are your plans for the holidays?"

"Well, I'm going home to Santa Monica to spend the holidays with my family & friends and hang around the Santa Monica pier: my all-time favorite hangout for New Years' Eve."

"Sounds like a lot of fun."

"Yeah, well, I guess I'll see you later."

"Okay, see ya."

Then Skye walked away as Punk was looking at her.

Little did Skye know, Punk heard from somebody that she has crush on him and wanted to hear it from her to save her the embarrassment.

Then RAW was on and Amanda was opening up the show with a promo.

"Hi, my name is Amanda and I am the WWE Women's Champion," Amanda said. "I can honesty say that my Christmas present when I won this and now I'm gonna give a real Christmas present to the WWE Universe. Tonight, there will be a Santa's Little Helpers match featuring my fellow Angel Nicole Mitchell's team of the Chain Gang Diva Squad against the Angelic Coalition and the special guest referee……will be yours truly. Merry Christmas."

A little later, Randy Orton was going to be an interview with Randy Orton.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Legend Killer, Randy Orton," Todd said as Randy came forward. "Randy, you basically demanded to have this opportunity to speak your mind tonight. What is it you have to say?"

"Earlier tonight, I challenged Batista to a rematch and I have yet to hear a reply," Randy said, "but that doesn't surprise me because Batista is a coward. He knows exactly what would happen……"

Then Dave walked up to Randy and said,

"You want your answer?" Dave said. "I got your answer……"

Then Randy slapped Dave in the face and then ran away quickly as Dave pursued him all the way to the arena and then Cody and Manu came out from the curtain and ambushed him stomping and beating on him. They dragged him down the ramp and Cody & Manu held onto Dave as Randy landed a right hand and John came out and fought off Cody and Many as Randy stared at John and Dave finally got to his feet and stood side-by-side with John as they stared at Randy.

A few minutes later, Nicole was running down the hallway after seeing the attack on Dave and John making the save and Nicole found them as she ran up to them.

"Dave, are you all right?" Nicole said. "I saw what happened out there."

"Yeah, I'm fine," Dave said, "I'll be okay. Thanks, man. I appreciate it."

"Are you kidding me?" John said as he shook Dave's hand. "Two weeks ago, these guys beat the hell out of me and left me passed out. I got plenty of beef with them. I promised myself that after I took care of my business with Chris Jericho, I was gonna get back at them."

"Since you brought up Jericho, I mean, now that you're done with him, I still have that rematch……"

"Guys, sorry to interrupt," Todd Grisham said as he came forward, " but Stephanie McMahon wanted me to come down and let you know that there's been a match made for later tonight with the team of Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes and Manu versus you guys, Batista and John Cena."

"Thanks, Todd," John said.

"Thanks," Dave said as Todd walked away. "Continue this conversation later?"

"See you later."

Then Dave walked as Nicole sighed and John looked at his title belt.

Later, it was time for the Santa's Little Helpers match which was Tina, Kimberly, and Kayla of the Chain Gang Diva Squad versus Madison Spears, Shayna Brooke, and Skye of the Angelic Coalition. Amanda's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.

A little later, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan was backstage looking gloomy.

Earlier, Jim was scheduled to face Chris Jericho and Chris wasn't dressed to compete as he told Jim that he was refusing to wrestle and refused to perform against a "bottom of the barrel" talent like him. He also said that he wouldn't not wrestle unless it's a worthy opponent or for the WWE Championship.

Then Cryme Tyme and Amanda approached Jim.

"Hacksaw," JTG said.

"It's time," Shad said as Jim looked back at JTG, "Come on, we got you, man. It's time."

Shad patted Jim on the back and the four walked away.

After RAW was over, Nicole was sitting alone in the hotel lounge and in her mind, she felt guilty that she wasn't able to prevent Randy from kicking Dave in her head. John tried to convince that it wasn't her fault. Then Nicole's cell phone rang and Nicole took it out of her pocket to see that Rochelle was calling and Nicole answered the call.

"Hello?" Nicole said.

"Could you give me a good explanation as to what the hell just happened on RAW to my husband?" Rochelle said.

"In the simplest of terms, Randy is a cold-hearted snake who's jealous. Who the hell is next on her list?"

"I don't know, but he'll get rid of anyone who gets in his way."

"I can't think of anything else to say but……I should've stopped him."

"What?"

"I should've stopped him, Rochelle, and then Dave wouldn't have an concussion, if anything."

"Nicole, it wasn't your fault. It wasn't your fault at all. Randy is out of control and he wasn't going to leave about any retribution. This is what he was planning to do after he lost Armageddon."

"But, Rochelle……"

"But nothing. Don't let him get to you, Nicole; don't be like that."

"Okay, I'll talk to you later."

"Bye."

Then Nicole ended the call as she sighed.
